Chapter 148: Brother Shenkan
2008 was the year of the Great Depression, and the subprime mortgage crisis that began to break out in 2007 is now gradually out of control. When news came that several global super financial institutions either went bankrupt or were taken over by various countries, the storm was officially taken into shape. Until September 9, 2008, the financial storm finally formed a financial tsunami that swept the world.
All countries have been affected by this financial tsunami, and the global economy has been continuously impacted. South Korea is also one of the affected countries. With the impact of stock market plummeting, rising prices, sharp decline in export growth, and soaring unemployment. However, its cultural industry burst into amazing light during this difficult time.
First, Choi Junxiu, a terrifying record sales of 600,000 yuan in the first half of the year, and then countless singers returned one after another in the second half of the year. Whether it is Lee Hyo-ri, Rain, Sun Danfei, Bai Ji-young, or group groups such as Oriental Shenqi, Bigbang, Wondergirls, they still achieved good results in this economic depression environment, becoming one of the few highlights in South Korea's economic growth.
However, at this moment when it should be exciting, our two lyrical kings were sighing. Because the prosperity of the song world is naturally a good thing, but as Kim Jong Kook who was retired and wanted to make a comeback, this is not a happy thing.
Although Kim Jong Kook is very confident in his strength, it does not mean that he will be blindly proud, thinking that he must be stronger than these colleagues; although Choi Junxiu's composition ability is very sharp, "Today is More Than Yesterday" and "Not That Simple" have not been truly tested by the music market, and no one dares to be 100% sure that he will succeed.
Only practice is the only criterion for testing truth. It is too early to say anything without really standing up to accept the test of fans, fans, and the market!
First, he was suppressed by Choi Junxi's series so that he couldn't even feel the idea of returning. After finally overcoming Choi Junxi's series of promotions, he encountered Bigbang's "Day Day by Day", and then "Day Day by Day" just started, Lee Hyori's "u-go-girl" came out again; that's not all, then Dongfang Shenqi, Rain, Sun Danfei, wondergirls and others also returned with their strong works, whether it was "Day Day by Day", "u-go-girl", or "Spell", "rainism", "nobody". Even "Crazy", these are not opponents that can be despised. To be fair, each song is not worse than Choi Junxi's first series, or it is even better!
For example, Bigbang's "Day Day" is a song that even Choi Junxiu likes very much. What? Do you think of "u-go-girl"? Choi Junxiu said that the mv he will never watch in this life is "u-go-girl" by Lee Hyo-ri, the royal sister who made him die!^_^
Therefore, Kim Jong Kook's current situation is quite embarrassing. Between this series of classic works and powerful singers, he really feels speechless! Just as Choi Junxiu said, Kim Jong Kook's return is really a lot of disasters!
The two people sitting in the gym rest area were speechless for a while. Kim Jong Kook was the first to break the silence. He smiled relaxedly. "Forget it, don't think about these things, let's exercise first!"
"..." Cui Junxi's eyebrows couldn't help but jump and was speechless.
Looking at Choi Junxi's ridiculous expression, Kim Jong Kook smiled. He hugged Choi Junxi's shoulder intimately and said with a smile, "Anla, Anla. Brother believes in your strength. Besides, even if you mess it up this time, there will be a next time. Then you can write a few classic works for me. Anyway, you have to be responsible for me..."
"Shake!!" Choi Junxi turned his head, looked at him in shock, and shouted absurdly, "Brother, I'll almost annoy me if I make an album once. Do you want to have a next time? Dream about you!!"
It turns out that you regard me as your royal writer... Uh, no... a composer? Besides, do you think this good song is full of cabbage all over the ground? If you want to pick it, there is something? Choi Junxi was so upset by this brother's irresponsible words.
"Haha..." Kim Jong Kook smiled indifferently, "Forcibly" pulled Choi Junxi up, and said proudly, "Anyway, I'm relying on you, you can't escape, so please accept your fate! Hahaha~~~"
What do you say about this? I have a very pure male relationship with you, don’t say anything strange, okay! Choi Junxiu was amused and cryed by Kim Jong Kook’s "shameless" side in the gym.
...,...
After spending a morning with Kim Jong Kook, the muscle brother, in the gym, Choi Junxiu finally saw the resentment of this brother towards fitness. Looking at Kim Jong Kook's series of training courses, he could only say that this brother is not an artist, and it is probably more appropriate to be a fitness coach!^_^
Originally, the two who had finished the exercise should have had a meal together, but when they took a shower and left, Kim Jong Kook received a call temporarily. Because there was something happening temporarily, the two could only regret to go their separate ways at the door.
Looking at the car shadows of Kim Jong Kook walking away alone, Choi Junxiu suddenly felt that he should buy a private car, otherwise it would be quite inconvenient to do something alone!
The idea of buying a car was not over until Choi Junxiu got into a taxi. After talking to the driver about Yeouido, Choi Junxiu took out his cell phone and was bored to play online.
“Huh?!!”
Choi Junxi, who was wandering around the Internet, occasionally flipped through his Twitter, suddenly found that one of the friends he followed had updated Twitter. He clicked in curiously and then laughed out loud.
"Puff...haha...^_^"
“???”
Choi Junxi's "people are crazy" made the driver in front of him glance at him inexplicably through the rearview mirror.
"I'm sorry~" Choi Junxiu remembered that he was sitting in someone's car, so he pulled his hat embarrassedly and apologized to the driver.
"Oh? Oh!" Choi Junxi's politeness made the driver stunned, and then came back to his senses and quickly signaled, "It's okay..."
"Because I saw a funny text message from a friend, I was rude..." But Choi Junxiu still explained and apologized, "I'm sorry~"
"It's okay..." *2, the driver said he was polite again, and then he started talking, "Do you like gag very much?"
"......ah?" Choi Junxi was stunned. He really didn't expect anyone to ask if he likes gags if he had won the acting awards. It was really... Choi Junxi took the topic of this 'brother' speechlessly, "Yes, I like gags very much..."
"Ah, really? Actually, I like gags very much. I have been watching shows like funny concerts, funny nights, etc., and..."
"Ah? Is that?"
"Of course, especially recently..."
"Ah? Is that?"
"...I did a good job in the positioning of the program for two days and one night... Unlimited Challenge is the most funny... Although the family was born a little bit bad, that Lee... Uh, Lee Hyo-ri and that person, oh, Choi Junxi's show image seems to be very popular..."
"Ah? Is that?"
Listening to the uncle who was talking about the most popular variety shows at the moment, from host style to funny points, from guest chat to fixed programs, this uncle who "likes gag" expressed his unique insights, and the topic switching was so smooth and fast that even Choi Junxi could not interrupt his conversation, and could only passively echo the uncle's conversation, which made Choi Junxi feel deeply speechless again!
Are these "gods" in our country so good at talking? With such eloquence, you might as well be a gagman! Choi Junxi was helpless and secretly complained in his heart, ^_^
"Uh, wait..." Choi Junxiu finally found an opportunity and interrupted the excitement of the 'God Kan Ge', "...Uncle, I'll call my friend..."
"Ah, fight, fight~" Brother Shenkan stopped talking embarrassedly, "^_^..."
"I'm sorry~" Choi Junxiu said humbly first, then called.
“Dudu…”
After waiting for a while, the phone was connected, and a very low male voice came out.
"Hey? Junxiu?"
"Ah, brother, it's me~" Choi Junxi glanced at the driver in a reverse manner, and slightly covered the phone so that the volume was not too loud.
"You have something to do with me?" The man on the other end of the phone seemed to be very familiar with Choi Junxi because his tone of speaking was very direct.
"Uh, no..." Choi Junxi suddenly laughed, and did not answer the other party's words, but instead said, "Brother, are you in Brother Rong's house now?"
"Oh, how do you know?" The man seemed to be startled by his Prophet, and his voice suddenly increased.
"Haha...^_^" Choi Junxi smiled, "Because I saw the photo you uploaded just now..." Speaking of this, Choi Junxi remembered the photo he saw that made him laugh, and was amused again. He joked, "Brother, you have the nerve to show your fat body!"
"Haha..." An awkward laughter came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother, aren't you afraid of being criticized for your bloody hair?" Choi Junxiu also raised a little concern while amused.
"Oh... Forget it, when will anyone pay attention to me, Jung Hyung-don..." The man's self-deprecating self-deprecation made Choi Junxi feel sad.
Jung Hyun-dun?! The person who was on the phone with this passenger was Jung Hyun-dun. The little fat guy in the infinite challenge? That gagman who doesn’t know how to be funny?
Although Choi Junxie deliberately covered her phone, in addition to being quick-talking, this "God Kan Ge" had a sharper hearing. He was so far away and so quiet that he could hear the most sensitive words. The driver uncle in his 40s surprised to identify Choi Junxi in the back seat.
"Hey!!!"
