Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 8 Dialogue with Nephew and Uncle
After clearing up the grievances in his heart with Park Chulong, for some reason, Park Jingxu's thoughts suddenly became much clearer.

Essays are like springs, and writing is like spirit.

Within a few days, he finally wrote the lyrics he wanted.

This painstaking work was named "Amazing Girls" by him to commemorate two extraordinary encounters in one day.

As for communicating with rappers, I also had a major breakthrough a few days ago.

Needless to say, Park Jae-bum, a reliable senior in his company, and a rapper named Yu Ji-ho, whose stage name is ZICO, whom he discovered from hundreds of private messages, also helped him a lot.

This is one of the reasons why he was able to complete the lyrics so smoothly.

In addition to exchanges on professional issues, some parents' short-term chats are also very speculative.

The relationship between the two became much closer. Park Jingxu expressed the idea of ​​collaborating on a song, and Zico readily agreed.

However, due to his status as a trainee, he still has to negotiate with the agency behind him.Fortunately, JYP’s brand is loud enough and the other party did not hinder it.

The collaborative song will be released as a single and will not be included in the album.

Park Kyung Wook has high hopes for his first album.

Although the album was just a temporary idea to attract rappers, after careful consideration later, I found that there is indeed much to be done.

In addition to "Amazing Girls", the rest of this album will be re-arranged from songs previously released on YouTube.

This is a summary of three years of tubing career.

It's just that his personal fame alone is destined not to cause much splash, and will only become a niche song among rap lovers.

This is not the result he wants.What he wants is for more people to hear his voice and discuss the content of his lyrics.

Some people may say that he is overestimating his abilities. This is not an issue that a newcomer should consider.

But Park Kyung Wook doesn't care about these external noises.

Park Kyung Wook is a confident and proud person.

He feels that the quality of the song can definitely meet the conditions for widespread discussion, but it lacks a hit point as a publicity stunt.

And how to create an eye-catching explosive point is something he has been thinking about recently.

After finalizing the cooperation with ZICO, Park Kyung Wook got inspiration from it.

Isn't it the best gimmick to collaborate with a well-known artist?
This model is very common in Europe and the United States, and whoever helps the other person is always the master.

The only test of doing this is the number of connections.

It just so happens that this aspect is not a problem for Park Kyung-wook, who has been involved in the entertainment industry since childhood.

He can draw relationships in the three majors.

Priority is given to female artists, because some singing parts will be arranged for the feat part, and female voices can add some richness to the listening experience.

Needless to say, I have a very close sister SUNNY here. The two of them quickly became close because they were both relatives of the boss. If I asked her to help me make a few feats, I would not refuse.

In addition, it would be better if you can bring teammates to participate, but it doesn't matter if you don't.After all, SNSD is a popular group this year, so they may not always be able to find time.

The artists under YG are not very familiar, but fortunately, my uncle is familiar with their president, so there is a chance to say hello.He already has his favorite candidate, Park Bom, the lead singer of 2ne1.

Not to mention my own family, the biggest artist is my uncle, from him on down, I can choose all the artists.

It's a pity that WG is still working abroad, so he probably can't hire her, otherwise he really wants to hire Sunmi for a feat.The sexy and lazy tone in this sister's voice fits well with a certain song in her album.

In addition, if you have acquaintances in CUBE, you can try to win over them. The first one is Hyuna. She and Park Kyung Wook have known each other since they were trainees, and they can be said to be very familiar with each other.

After sorting out his network a little, Park Jingxu found that he could indeed attract many people.

He is very capable and is a person who will do whatever he wants.

However, before contacting potential partners, he still had to talk to his uncle.

Considering that it was 5 pm US time, Park Jingxu dialed the phone directly.

As soon as the call was connected, Park's hearty laughter came from the other end.

"Jingxu, what do you want from me?"

"Uncle, I have recently..."

Park Kyung Wook briefly talked about his idea of ​​producing an album and collaborating with some artists.

After listening, Park Jin Young expressed his full support.

"Then do it! If you can't solve anything, come to me. As long as it's a musical matter, I'll help you sort it out!"

"Kangsang Mita."

Park Jingxu was overjoyed. After hesitating for a while, he made another request.

"Uncle, can I ask Sister Xuanmei for a feat?" He seemed to know that his request was a bit awkward, so he added.

"I know WG is very busy right now, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't work."

Who knew that Park Zhenying agreed without saying a word.

"Of course it's fine! Just Sunmi? Do you want me to be the feat too?"

"Even if you don't tell me, I will fly to Los Angeles to find you! You are the most powerful artist in our company!"

Park Jingxu quickly agreed and flattered the other party without leaving any trace.Sure enough, this sentence made Park Jinying laugh again.

“I’m actually happy that Kyung Wook made an album independently.

I usually follow your YouTube channel. I don’t know much about rap, but the accompaniment is really great, and the ideas in it are so wild and unconstrained that even I am deeply inspired.

Maybe this is music that young talents can write!
Jingxu, this is an incredible talent!What's more, you are only 14 years old and can still continue to improve!Uncle, I am not as powerful as you at this age. "

"Ani! Uncle, you are exaggerating too much! How could I be that powerful!"

“Excessive modesty is hypocrisy.

Uncle, although I have always emphasized that as an artist you must remain humble, it does not mean that you must completely curb your sharp edges.

This way you will only be looked down upon by others. If you show your ability to others, you will gain respect from others.What's more, you are a young person, and being young and energetic is not a bad thing. "

Park Zhenying paused as she spoke, with emotion in her tone.

“People in this country actually have a fixed stereotype about artists.

This is quite obvious in music - if you look pure, you can only sing pure songs, if you are sexy, you can sing sexy songs.

People who choose music that does not match the image will not buy it.

Unless you create an image like Lee Hyori's that everyone can accept no matter what you do, staying true to your appearance is the best choice.

And for you, a 14-year-old boy, to sing boy-next-door rap is very appropriate.But no one will be offended if you behave a little arrogantly. They will interpret it as the pride of a creative talent. "

Park Kyung Wook expressed that he was taught a lesson.

After that, the two chatted for a while about interesting things in life and hung up the phone.

Park Kyung-wook, who received support from his uncle, suddenly became confident.

........................................................................

"So Jingxu, have you decided to release an album? That's great..."

In the practice room, Park Chorong listened intently as Park Kyung-wook shared the recent progress in album production.

The first reaction after hearing this was to feel happy for Park Kyung Wook, but thinking of his own situation, his bright smiling face became clouded again.

The girl who was sitting cross-legged suddenly shouted and then lay down on the floor.The slender and slender legs are stretched outward, forming a "big" shape.

"Jingxu is about to release an album, but I still don't know when I can debut. My recent monthly assessment results are not very satisfactory, and I feel that my debut is getting further and further away..."

Park Chorong's words suddenly reminded Park Jingxu that the company did have plans for a new girl group recently, and it was almost time to select members.After all, members need a long break-in period before debuting, and if they don't make a decision quickly, they won't be able to take the next step.

This project was launched somewhat suddenly. Park Jingxu probably guessed that the strong rise of Girls' Generation put pressure on the company's senior management.

Originally, they still had the strength to fight with WG, but the entertainment industry is developing at a rapid pace, and it is hard to say how much popularity they will have when they come back.

What's more, there is a new girl group coming out soon. Faced with the attack from the old and new groups, there is also 2ne1, who is watching eagerly next to them.

JYPE does not want to lose completely in this girl group war, so a new girl group is imperative.

It's just that he feels that Park Chulong is too anxious. She has only been in the company for a few months and there is no chance of her having a solid foundation without laying a solid foundation.

Of course, Park Jingxu would not express these thoughts directly. It would do no good except make the other party think wildly.But he also hated useless words of comfort, so he thought carefully before speaking.

"Nu Na, don't be too anxious. Let's continue to practice hard. Debut is not as fast as possible. In the words of Hua Guo, the idol industry also pays attention to the right time, the right place and the right people.

Girls' Generation has become a trend, just like WG in the past two years, it is impossible to compete.Any group that encounters them will fail. "

Pu Chulong heard the pessimism in Pu Jingxu's words and frowned his beautiful eyebrows.

"Jingxu, aren't you optimistic about the company's new plan?"

Park Jingxu shrugged, his meaning obvious.

“With my uncle in JYP, it’s hard for the music source to fail.

However, the sound source cannot represent everything of a girl group, including album sales, popularity, number of die-hard fans, important awards, peripheral concerts and other additional income.These aspects may not necessarily compete with Girls' Generation. "

"But, I'm not young anymore. If I can't debut this time, I don't know how long it will take for the next opportunity..."

Pu Chulong pursed his lips, somewhat unwillingly.

How could she not know that what Park Jingxu said made sense.Girls' Generation's momentum is even greater than that of Wonder Girls in the previous two years. After all, WG only has four people, while Girls' Generation has nine people.

With 9 people and 9 styles, the variety shows can be twice as many as yours.What's more, there are many members with a sense of talent, and they can naturally gain more nationality.

With such a powerful opponent weighing on their heads, it's easy to imagine that other women's groups are not having an easy time.

The life of a rookie group without a fan base will only become more miserable.

But as she said, she was already 19 years old when she became a trainee, but after a few years she was no longer young.Being an idol is a profession with a short life span, and time really cannot afford to be wasted.

Park Jingxu could feel the confusion of the girl next to him, but many things would not be changed by personal will.

"Chulong Nuna, are you willing to give up?"

Pu Chulong was stunned when asked.

"what do you mean?"

"Of course it's about becoming an idol. Are you willing...or willing to give up?"

"I……"

"Please seriously, look directly into your heart and answer."

Park Jingxu looked directly into the other person's eyes seriously, forcing the girl to look away with a trace of pressure.

Pu Chulong, who was tortured by his soul, was a little flustered at first, but he calmed down soon.

In fact, she had asked herself this question, more than once.Not once did I get a different answer.

"Of course I don't want to. My dream since I was a child is to be a singer. When I was young, I was introverted and didn't dare to sing in crowded places. I only dared to hide and sing secretly by myself. I have paid so much for this, how could I give up so easily? .”

Park Jingxu laughed.

"Guilty. If that's the case, then there's only one thing to do next, right?"

"Yeah. Regardless of whether I will be selected this time, in fact, there will be no change in what I will do."

Pu Chulong quickly figured this out.Yeah, just practice.If she has the strength to debut, she will naturally have a chance to be selected.

If not, then it may be right to continue to improve yourself through practice and improve this.

"Thank you, Jingxu." She looked at Park Jingxu with gratitude in her eyes.She knows how rare it is to have someone willing to take the time to wake you up when you are confused.

"Anu Na, being too polite will make me sad."

Park Jingxu saw that the other party had returned to normal, and he relaxed and followed the other party's example of lying on the floor.

He put his hands behind his head and asked slowly, staring at the pure white ceiling.

"Nuna, have you ever heard of my uncle's talk about 'star sex'?"

Park Chorong nodded, this is one of PD Park's mantras.

"Although its meaning is easy to understand, to be honest, I don't actually understand uncle's judging criteria. Do you feel the same way? Some people obviously performed very well, but they couldn't impress my uncle, and instead gave them very low evaluations."

Park Jingxu briefly insulted his uncle, livening up the atmosphere before continuing.

"I'm not saying this is wrong. I just think that everyone's criteria for judging 'starness' are different. My uncle's criteria are only correct in JYP, but not necessarily if it's a fool or YG."

"But this is JYP." Park Chorong replied.

"Yes, this is JYP. My uncle is the emperor here, and he sticks to his word. No one can disobey him, including me, my dear nephew."

Park Jingxu paused for a moment, hesitating whether to say the next words.When he glanced at the side face of the girl who was also staring at the ceiling, he finally made up his mind.

"But JYP is not the only agency. If...I mean if, Nu Na really feels that there is no hope of debuting, don't be discouraged. You can try other places for opportunities."

Park Chulong didn't react for a while, or he was so surprised that a person with the identity of the boss's nephew would actually say these words that his brain was a little shut down.

After an unknown amount of time, she asked in disbelief.

"Jingxu...you mean I can't debut in JYP?"

"I have no idea……"

Park Jingxu didn't lie, he was indeed a little unclear.I just have a vague feeling that Park Chulong may not be the kind of idol that my uncle likes.At the same time, he felt stupid for pushing his own trainees out.

He regretted saying what he just said.

He decided to make amends.

"Don't worry, Nu Na. In fact, I am also talking nonsense. Just listen to it and don't take it seriously."

The other party nodded in agreement.Pu Jingxu could see that the other party's words were insincere, so he sighed and said nothing more.
