Chapter 55 Tired
In July 2007, the most popular artist in South Korea was Choi Junxi. With an irregular concert on a variety show, his strange peak suddenly triggered South Korea's passion; the most popular song was "That Man", with pure voice and affectionate singing skills that surpassed the age limit, his name as a powerful singer was recognized by Korean fans; and when on July 12, the news that "That Man" was identified as the OST of the MBC Moon-hot drama "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store" was announced, it added fuel to the fire, making Choi Junxi's attention reach a new high.
"Coffee Prince No. 1 Store" is a popular TV series starring last year's best new actor, former crazy popular girl Yoon Eun Hye, and popular idol Gong Yoo. Once it was broadcast, it attracted great attention. The national ratings of the first episode reached 14.4%. When the melody of the fourth episode "That Man" sounded, the ratings broke through the 25% mark. The affectionate and pure voice combined with the scene of the male and female protagonists in the coffee shop looking at each other and leaving in anger, hitting the softness of the audience's deep hearts, and instantly ratings reached the dividing line of the national TV series by 30%.
When Kim Sang-min said that day that director Lee Yoon-jung hoped to use "That Man" as OST, Choi Jun-seok himself was very surprised. Generally speaking, OST songs will be written by the producers specifically for TV series, so most OSTs are very appropriate for the content of the TV series. However, director Lee Yoon-jung took a look at the purity and affection of Choi Jun-seok's "That Man" at a glance, and of course, Choi Jun-seok couldn't say no to such a good thing. He agreed without thinking.
As a result, the strong alliance between TV series and songs made each other gain a lot, and finally created the birth of a national TV series together.
Although there is only one music center to play the song list, Choi Junxi's fanatical popularity makes "That Man" not at all the efficiency of other singers. The weekly music center has become his rampant back garden. The huge fan base with no unified support ornaments and slogans that are within reach seem a little messy, but it further proves his fanatical popularity.
In addition, many programs are also conducive to his popularity consolidation. In addition to "Infinite Challenge" and "Come and Play", in the past month, Choi Junxi has been on every MBC program that can be starred. Audiences can see Choi Junxi on Monday, and on Tuesday, he can also see him in "Funny Theater", Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday, Friday, and Friday, and on Saturday, his agency's "Infinite Challenge". The numerous itineraries made Yoo Jae-suk and others tease him as the announcement king.
Adding up all the things made Choi Junxi achieve beyond imagination. The most direct display is the CD "Infinite Challenge 2007 Jiangbian North Road Song Festival", which sold more than 470,000 copies in one month. In today's increasingly shrinking record industry, ordinary singers can hold a celebration banquet with 100,000 sales. As a record made by a group of gagmans, it can actually sell such a monstrous number, which is enough to envy more than 90% of singers. This also makes the senior MBC artist management regret it.
While gritting his teeth and regretting, he exploited Choi Junxi's value even harder, and madly increased his itinerary announcements, various commercial performances, and poster shootings were endless, which made Choi Junxi secretly complain. However, when he thought about the expiring contract, he endured it again. Two months ago, when Choi Junxi did not agree to renew the contract, MBC knew that he could not keep him, but of course they did not expect Choi Junxi to suddenly become so popular. I guess they regretted why they only signed for two years when they signed the contract?
On this day, Choi Junxiu was waiting for the recording of the music center in the standby room. As the last recording of this month, the music center is no different from the past. Some singers returned, and more singers bid farewell to the stage and ended their songs in a hurry. Choi Junxiu's strength in the music center has made these singers miserable and completely submerged under his vast "That Man". It is estimated that the singers who were in the same period as Choi Junxiu regretted it. Although Choi Junxiu is a newcomer, due to his explosive popularity this month, he also obtained a small separate standby room in the music center. This is a "VIP" level enjoyment, so the entertainment industry is so realistic!
Choi Junxiu, who was closing his eyes to rest, heard the sound of the door. He opened his eyes slightly and saw that it was Jang Honghong, so he closed his eyes and went lazy. This month, Choi Junxiu was really painful and happy. The announcements that could not see almost made him collapse. He really couldn't understand how the popular IDOLs who took care of the itinerary of the three TV stations had survived. Are they going 24 hours a day? No wonder there is basically no IDOL group able to keep singing live. Such a bad schedule, no matter how strong the body is, it was dragged down, let alone the sensitive vocal cords, and how many times can the singing skills be persisted in? Now he finally knows what Kim Jong Kook's resentment is about. Without a superman body, it really can't stand his terrifying schedule, and it may not be as glorious as his "triple crown" in the past.
Zhang Honghong glanced at Choi Junxi, shook his head speechlessly, and said, "Junxi, the order of your waiting is arranged at the end. You can get off work after recording."
"Oh." Choi Junxiu replied without opening his eyes.
"..." Zhang Honghong shook his head helplessly again. He was about to end the conversation, but he remembered something, "By the way, Kim Hyuna from wondergirls fainted in the background just now and has been sent to the hospital."
"Oh?" Choi Junxi finally woke up a little, and he opened his eyes and looked at Zhang Honghong with an inquiring look. "What's going on?"
All members of Wondergirls were selected through the "hard competition" of the public talent show. On December 22, 2006, WonderGirls made its first public debut through the ten-episode live coverage of the "MTV WonderGirls" program broadcast through South Korea's MTV. On February 10, 2007, WonderGirls officially debuted through Showcase.
As a girl group promoted by JYP, wondergirls is the ambition work of JYP leader Park Jin-young. Every member is a powerful trainee who has been polished and gathered. The captain Min Xianye is regarded as the core of the group by Park Jin-young. He even admitted that he was formed because of his trust in Xianye. Therefore, wondergirls was vigorously promoted by Park Jin-young as soon as he debuted, in order to grab a cake in the coming group trend. However, wondergirls' debut single album "Th
eWonderBegins' reaction can only be considered average, and the gap between Park Jin-young's ideal is not an ordinary one. Therefore, Park Jin-young can only gather popularity for wondergirls from other aspects. The Music Center MC is the position JYP company has won for Kim Hyuna and Ah So-hee. Recently, Choi Jun-soo's crazy rankings in the Music Center have gradually become familiar with them. Kim Hyuna, who is known as a little wild horse in wonderfulgirls, is energetic and introverted than Wenjing, and has a cute Ah So-hee with a bun-faced face that impresses Choi Jun-soo.
"It's probably because of the physical reason. I heard that it's not the first time. I've had this situation several times before..." Zhang Honghong told the situation he knew one by one.
Choi Junxiu said with a frown, "How could JYP let her continue to perform on stage?"
"Who knows? But it seems that their agents knew about this. He was also very panicked at that time. Maybe their team members unanimously concealed it from the agent, right?" Zhang Honghong expressed his opinion, needless to say, he must be afraid that the company would have an impact on the dream of celebrities. As a mature adult, such things are clear at a glance.
"..." Cui Junxiu was silent. He also thought of the reasons behind it. He didn't know what to say about it. It is right to stick to dreams; but is it really worth using life to persist? Suddenly, he was confused. Life should be the greatest. Without life, everything will be meaningless! The basis for the existence of all things in the world should be above the existence of life. With life, our pursuit presents various values. Cui Junxiu has always believed this way, so why are so many people in the world willing to even want their lives for their dreams? At this moment, he hesitated and confused. The heavy and boring work of this period also affected his emotions. Things that he would never care about before became a problem that bothers him.
"Junxi, what's wrong with you? Junxi!" Zhang Honghong looked at Cui Junxi and suddenly fell into silence, staring at the floor with his eyes blank, as if he had been suddenly petrified, and he was lifeless. This made him panic and he quickly asked in surprise.
"..." Choi Junxiu was awakened by Zhang Honghong's unconscious thinking. After a long time of loss of consciousness before he realized. He smiled bitterly, "It's okay, I just suddenly thought of some problems, some meaningless things, so I was so impressed. Brother, don't worry."
"Really?" Zhang Honghong asked very worriedly. It was really that Choi Junxi's condition was too terrifying just now.
"I really don't have to worry. I'm just too tired recently, so I feel a little listless. There's no problem with taking a break." Cui Junxiu shook his head and stood up to comfort his body. It seems that he was really exhausted. He smiled bitterly, and even worried about such boring problems. This is not like himself. Everyone has their own outlook on life. What's the use of thinking so much? Life is all achieved, not thought of.
Seeing Cui Junxi start stretching, his strange "exercise" made people sweat all over his head, especially this kid bent down and pointed his butt at Zhang Honghong and twisted it, making Zhang Honghong's temple jump wildly, "This soulless boy, I was actually worried about him just now, I must be crazy!" Zhang Honghong thought gritted his teeth.
