Korean Hurricane Idol

At the entrance of a shopping mall in Cheongdam-dong, there was a crowd of people, and the siege was impenetrable.

"Ahn Junhyuk, please look this way!"

"Please smile..."

"Uncle, uncle!"

"Let it go, please let it go."

The moment he got out of the nanny's car, there were such loud shouts from the surroundings, boys and girls in school uniforms, young or middle-aged women, pushing hard towards Zhong Yang.There are also reporters holding long guns and short cannons, shouting, clicking the shutter while clicking, and the flash is beating like a storm, even if there are sunglasses blocking it, it is dazzling.The assistants and the security guards from the mall blocked a small gap for An Junhe in the crowd, surrounded him and walked quickly into the mall.

The reporter next to him still followed unwillingly, asking questions while taking pictures, and more fans surrounded them, screaming and shouting, and the huge sound waves merged and hit people's eardrums.

The noisy and lively scene made people almost think that this was the scene of a press conference, but in fact it was just an electronic company's new product exhibition and business performance.

The reason why so many people were able to gather was because Ahn Jun Hyuk was present in this business performance.

In March 2005, the three words "Ahn Jun Hyuk" once again swept the headlines of various media since the end of last year. Huge attention, becoming the most influential person in Korea in the whole March.

Earlier, when the sales volume of "memory" reached 6, some media predicted that it would not take a month for it to break through 10. This was calculated with reference to the inevitable decline period after the crazy buying.However, it only broke through the 10 barrier in the middle of the year. Such a speed still made many media dumbfounded.

Then, a heated discussion broke out.

"...This is the first half of 05, the long-awaited shot in the arm for the recording industry, which may break the cold winter..."

"Rookie Ahn Joon Hyuk presents an exciting gift to the record industry!"

Newspapers, entertainment magazines, interviews...many practitioners and analysts gave Ahn Jun-hyuk their praise without hesitation, not because they are chasing after him, but because this achievement is really exciting.

The entire Korean record industry, starting from 02, counts the record sales reports released by various statistical agencies every year. Even non-professionals can find that the record industry, which has been impacted by the Internet, ranks at the top of the weekly, monthly and annual sales lists. , It has been several years since I changed, Seo Taiji, Lee Sooyoung, Wheesung, Ko Yutae, Lee Seung Chul, Lee Hyori... always these people, the only difference is the ranking.

What worries many people is that, judging from the sales data, even for these old singers, the total annual sales of albums have declined by more than 30% every year, and the new singers who debuted have not entered any list in the past few years. In the top 10, even after a year of hard work, the record can't even sell 10 copies-such sales, the cost of making the record is slightly higher, and it can't be recovered at all.

Without profit, the agency will naturally find a way to reduce the production cost of the album, and the shoddy album cannot be sold... This is a vicious cycle. If it is not resolved, the decline of Geyao will be imminent.

In the past, some experts denounced the brokerage companies for fishing out their profits. In fact, they also knew that the root cause was the depression of the entire market.The continued decline in the support of the public makes it impossible for newcomers to see their first days. The number of newcomers debuting is getting smaller every year, and the number of new buyers attracted is also less than one year. Without these fresh blood injections, the entire market will be more and more old.

Everything in the world needs to be updated, and the music industry is the same. No industry can live on its laurels and prosper forever.

The rise of Ahn Jun Hyuk is now called "exciting", and the 10 copies in half a month is only one of the reasons. The more important significance is that he has sparked a wave of new enthusiasm for the aging music industry. The whirlwind has brought a new main force of purchases - the most common age group of his fans, more young people in their 10s to 20s!

They may become the soil for cultivating the next generation of debut newcomers.

In the eyes of many people, this is the greatest role of a successful idol singer, and it is also something that last year's Rookie King Group could not do, so the praise is naturally deserved.

For Ahn Jun-hyuk, who has become the protagonist of the topic, and the s.m company he belongs to, there is no need to think so far-reaching. The sales of "memory" are booming, which brings a 5% rise in the stock price of s.m. , and every day when the market opens, it still rises in a curve, and what brings An Junhe is a busier schedule.

After entering the shopping mall, it was arranged by the organizer. After the performance started, he sang two songs on the spot. An Junhyuk was protected by his managers and assistants, boarded the nanny car, and was surrounded by still unwilling reporters. Drive away, leave in dust.

It wasn't until the nanny car drove away from the crowd that Ahn Jun-hyuk, who had been wearing sunglasses with a calm posture, suddenly relaxed the smile on his mouth, took off his sunglasses and loosened his tie, and took a deep breath.

Cha Won-sung was driving ahead, and his assistant Cui Sung-woo was sitting in the passenger seat. Seeing An Jun-hyuk's tired look, he opened a bottle of purified water and handed it over.An Junhyuk took a sip of the drink, let him lean over to help wipe his sweat, and weakly asked Quan Baogen who was sitting across from him flipping through the memo: "Where is the end?"

"The signing event of Lotte Department Store in Myeongdong..." As he said that, Quan Baogen glanced at An Junhyuk, looked at the dark circles under his eyes that could not be concealed even with light makeup, and said distressedly: "I let Yuan Cheng open slowly." Come on, rest for a while!"

Supporting from the bottom all the way to today's prosperous sky, Quan Baogen couldn't be indifferent to An Junhe as a money-making machine after all, watching him force himself to support his physical strength, although professional ethics reminded fans Waiting may affect the results of this signing, but I still want to buy him a little time to rest so that he can breathe a sigh of relief.

Resting his forehead with one hand, An Junhe shook his head when he heard the words: "No, I'll just lie down for a while, and call me when I arrive."

"……it is good!"

Sighing secretly, when An Junhyuk lay down, Quan Baogen found a thin blanket given by a fan and put it on him, then sat back to his original position and read the memo.

The above densely recorded are An Junhyuk's itinerary for a period of time in the future, various interviews, program invitations, and various commercial performance projects, all of which are arranged by the company. The sales of "memory" are booming, and the company's stock price, which has been stagnant for a long time, began to rise. Behind this good news, shareholders began to pay more attention to An Junhyuk, and it also revealed another problem that cannot be ignored: the contract that An Junhyuk signed with the company, It will expire in September next year.

This short two-year contract was originally organized by Quan Baogen. With An Junhyuk's debut and not borrowing any resources from the company, and because he was in a boycott at the time, he hardly saw any future, so he reluctantly negotiated it.

Now, the company is starting to regret it.

But the contract had already been signed in quadruplicate, and apart from the company and An Junhyuk himself, the Zheng Fu notary agency and the performers union also kept a copy, even if they regretted it, there was nothing they could do about it.

Of course, the company will not obediently admit the loss. These intensive schedules are the company's counterattack against An Junhyuk—since you want to voluntarily, then feed me before you voluntarily!

Quan Baogen was a little disgusted with the high-level decision. Those short-sighted idiots, forget who was the one who raised the flag for them to fight against Li Xiuman?Forgot, if they are so persuasive, will they completely push An Junhyuk, who might have considered staying in the company, into the arms of others?

But what puzzled Quan Baogen was that An Junhe didn't show any indignation about this, but just accepted the company's arrangement silently, neither resisted by relying on his current status, nor did he make small moves in private, which was really not like his previous personality .

But the weirder one was Li Xiuman.

This tyrant, seeing that An Junhyuk, who betrayed him, was in trouble, did not settle the score and make trouble, but just watched silently.

Two people who were very similar to a certain extent reacted in the same way. Quan Baogen felt sensitively that there must be something tricky in it, but he thought about the reason for a long time, but he couldn't find the answer.

"Could it be an IQ problem?" Scratching his head in frustration, and looking at the itinerary on the memo in his hand, Quan Baogen stopped thinking about it and checked it carefully. After a long while, he chose a few that were not very important, and followed the contact numbers he wrote down. Call them one by one.

"Hi, hello! I'm An Junhyuk's manager, Quan Baogeun, so..."

"Hi, hello... I'm really sorry, our Jun Hyuk has some minor health problems, so I have to ask your company to move the time back... Yes, yes, thank you for your understanding."

"...I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, we will meet again in the future...beep..."

Some excused phone calls, some expressed understanding, and naturally some were unhappy, but these itineraries are not very important, and the invitation party's weight is also average. If you meet someone with a good attitude, Quan Baogen will naturally apologize more. If the attitude is not good , he just shrugged and blacklisted the company.

The current him, or the An Junhe he represents, has this confidence.

After a few phone calls, under the inexplicable gaze of assistant Cui Chengyu, Quan Baogen sighed quietly: Jun Hyuk, that's all I can help you with.

An Junhyuk, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know his sigh. In his perception, he fell asleep for a while, and when he woke up again, the car had already arrived at Myeongdong, heading towards the iconic building of Lotte Department Store. After a while, the nanny car stopped, and when he got out of the car, what appeared in front of many fans was still the idol star Ahn Jun-hyuk who was full of energy and had a friendly smile.
