Chapter 197
When Zheng Yunhao was woken up on the plane, he was still a little dazed.
He has been traveling a lot lately.Although the song playing of the fifth Korean college is over, he still has to rush to participate in various Korean wave concert platters and family concerts, and rehearse with Claudia for the "kiss&cry" figure skating performance.Most importantly, he has to prepare Japanese albums and singles, as well as preparations for the Japanese tour.
The Japanese album actually began to be prepared almost as soon as Ai Hui reconciled with SM.Because he changed his vocal style and lost three members, TVXQ can almost be regarded as a brand new group now.The Japanese composers who were acquainted with each other before need to understand their current sound situation, constantly adjust the composition, and slowly get in touch with this brand new TVXQ. SM, Jung Yunho, and Shim Changmin have critical visions and have high requirements for the quality of their works.So just picking the right track took a lot of work.Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin had to travel back and forth between Japan and South Korea.Now that the recording is almost finished, they have started the intense MV shooting work for the Japanese special and daily singles.
And this is not all of Zheng Yunhao's work.In the past, Ai Hui was responsible for the preparation of the Japanese tour. As singers, they only needed to communicate with the director on how to prepare the stage well.But now TVXQ's Japanese tour costs are all borne by them at their own expense, Jung Yunho has calculated the cost long ago, knowing that the amount may empty his and Changmin's savings.Naturally, he couldn't foolishly resist all by himself.TVXQ's Korean concert costs are also borne by themselves, Jung Yunho decided to seek sponsor support in Japan based on past experience.
To be honest, it was not smooth at first.When they first returned to Japan, many businesses took a wait-and-see attitude.Everyone is uncertain about TVXQ's commercial appeal.After all, even during the five-person period, TVXQ had very few endorsements in Japan. Finally, in 09, DHC wanted to cooperate with them to test the waters, but was disturbed by JYJ.
At that time, Zheng Yunhao would feel exhausted every time he came into contact with the merchants, but he had to keep up his spirits and continue.
It wasn't until they endorsed the Silver Bear Card for Seibu Department Store in May that things turned around.The Silver Bear card was sold out on the day it was launched. Two days later, the Silver Bear was also sold out as a product for the disaster relief concert. The sales of Seibu Department Store increased significantly that month.Under the strong request of the customers, Seibu Department Store pushed the Silver Bear Card a few more times before gradually calming down the resentment of not being able to buy the Silver Bear Card.Even because of filming commercials with TVXQ, this little silver bear has his own funclub.
Even Seibu Department Store didn't expect the effect to be so good.This successful case gave TVXQ a good start in the industry.The endorsement situation in Japan is gradually opening up, and TVXQ's subsequent endorsement work has been completed very well, and the serious and responsible performance has brought a substantial increase in the performance of the endorsement company.And the news that "Yunho Same Style" and "Changmin Same Style" are sold out of stock will become popular on Japanese Twitter from time to time.Nowadays, in Japanese advertising companies, people are saying "TVXQ = sales" in private~
These, of course, cannot be seen by the outside world.
Shen Changmin was actually very tired, but he felt that his brother hadn't moved for a long time, so he turned his head to look at him with force: "Brother? What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine." Zheng Yunhao rubbed his face, stood up and threw his backpack on his back, covered his tired eyes with sunglasses, and led Shen Changmin through the crowded airport with strides.
He has turned back into that unbelievably strong Jung Yunho in the eyes of fans.
They first went to Ai Hui headquarters to discuss about A-Nation's itinerary.Zheng Yunhao feels that most of the platter concerts they are participating in are Korean in nature, and there are too few J-POP local performances.In order to warm up for next year's Japan tour, he wants to increase the number of A-Nation shows.
The news that Dongfang Shenqi had come to the company soon reached Katsuto Matsuura.He thought of the words that Ayumi Hamasaki had lobbied him, and couldn't help but feel his heart pounding. Knowing that he would be rejected, he still wanted to give it a try.
When Jung Yunho was approached by Katsuto Matsuura, he had just finalized TVXQ's addition to this year's A-Nation's first Ehime show.Seeing Matsuura Katsuto greet them with exceptional enthusiasm, Zheng Yunhao instinctively felt that the other party had a ghost, and his heart had already increased his vigilance, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and he responded lightly without being cold or flattering: "Mr. President, haven't seen you for a long time."
Shen Changmin pretended not to hear, and turned to talk to their Korean manager.
Katsuto Matsuura showed no signs of embarrassment at all, and took the initiative to invite them: "Yunhao-kun, Changmin-kun, there is something that needs to be discussed with the two of you in private."
Shen Changmin stopped talking and looked towards Zheng Yunhao.Zheng Yunhao looked at Matsuura Katsuto and nodded calmly: "Okay."
But they had no idea that Katsuto Matsuura dropped such a bomb on them.
"What?! Let JYJ return to TVXQ? No, it's absolutely impossible! Not even in Japan." Shen Changmin was the first to express his objection with a clear attitude.
Katsuto Matsuura didn't look at him, but stared at Zheng Yunhao, waiting for his response.
Zheng Yunhao pondered for a while and asked him: "Why did the president suddenly have such an idea? You know, it was Ai Hui who first took the initiative to block JYJ, and then SM and Ai Hui cooperated again. It's only been less than a year, Ai Hui Do you want to repeat it again?" Knowing that such a proposal is absurd, but still approaching them, and even bypassing SM to talk to them in private, there must be a reason behind it.So Zheng Yunhao didn't rush to sternly refuse, he had to find out what happened to make Ai Hui disregard the face of the largest company in the Japanese music industry, just banned a certain artist and then licked his face to invite him back.He can take control of the situation.
"It's human, it's all about making mistakes~" Matsuura Katsuto smiled, "JYJ has been banned for this period of time, and they understand that they still have to follow the Japanese rules in Japan. Now they are willing to listen to the company's arrangements for their activities in Japan. Yunho Jun, the strength of two people is still not as strong as five people. Look at Johnny's Arashi, who is now in power in Japan and no one can match it. But in 09, TVXQ was only a thin line away from them. Think I want to see that you are still on the red and white board a year earlier than Lan. If you hadn’t quit the team, you are still a combination that can compete with Lan~ Seeing that the gap between you and Lan is getting bigger and bigger, Is Yunhao-kun willing?"
Of course, what Matsuura Katsuto said was an exaggeration.TVXQ did have a strong momentum in 09, and the Hallyu wave broke out in Japan in 10. If it was active at that time, it would definitely reach a higher level.But Johnny is always Johnny, and his advantage in male idol groups is definitely not comparable to that of Ai Hui.And TVXQ has always been a foreigner. No matter how localized they are, no matter how strong they are, they cannot become the number one boy group in Japan.
But Katsuto Matsuura was right in saying that it was impossible to surpass Arashi, and becoming the boy group second only to Arashi was originally a certainty.
With a confident smile on his face, he seduced Zheng Yunhao: "I believe that my vision of people is correct. Yunhao-jun is a man who can do great things. For the greater benefit, I will stage a touching scene of reunion in front of fans. , it’s not difficult for the two professional idols. The small conflicts in the past, let them pass~”
Shen Changmin trembled with anger when he heard Matsuura Katsuto's words: Such shameless words came from the mouth of the president of a large listed company!He still didn't underestimate Matsuura Katsuto's shamelessness!
Just as he was about to speak angrily, the hand on his thigh was held down by another familiar big hand.
Zheng Yunhao looked directly at Katsuto Matsuura, without any expression of irritation, and answered him politely: "President Matsuura, I think you forgot to ruin this good situation, let your company, SM, and everyone serve TVXQ It is JYJ itself who is the one who has fallen short of success. But you are right in asking a question. I am really not reconciled. But if I am not reconciled, I will choose to enter a dignified competition, not as the president said I don’t know how much JYJ’s return to TVXQ will benefit Ai Hui, and I’m not interested in knowing. If you still don’t want to lose JYJ, you can discuss it with SM, you don’t have to. Find me and Changmin. Because in this life, we will never be able to stand on the same stage as JYJ."
"I would like to advise President Matsuura one last thing: Interests are indeed important, but a person who can really accomplish great things is definitely not someone who only values interests and is driven by interests. This is all I have to say, so I can do it myself."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and left.Shen Changmin followed closely behind without hesitation.
Because their Korean manager was also in the car, Shen Changmin suppressed his anger all the way and didn't say anything. He didn't ask Jung Yunho until they returned to their apartment in Japan.With no outsiders around, he finally showed his worry: "Brother, is Ai Hui really going to bring JYJ back?"
Originally, it was impossible for an artist to be invited back after being banned by a big company.However, since Ai Hui was able to abandon his partner and solve JYJ, he abandoned JYJ in just a few months and rebuilt the old relationship with his former partner, and then blocked JYJ while selling JYJ's things for profit.It can be seen that this is a company that can throw its own face on the ground for money, and even go up and step on it by itself.
If JYJ gave enough benefits, Ai Hui would be able to make the five of them fit together.
"Don't worry." Zheng Yunhao comforted him calmly, "The reason why Matsuura Katsuto came to us is obviously because he knew that SM would not agree. He wanted to do our job well before forcing SM. I guess he intends to increase Compared with SM's share, to induce SM to turn a blind eye and close one eye for the benefit, and let TVXQ be active in Japan with five bodies."
"Mr. Lee Soo Man and President Kim Young Min will not agree." Shen Changmin shook his head and sneered: "Masato Matsuura probably thinks that everyone in the world is like him, and that face and dignity are not important."
"But?" Shen Changmin was a little puzzled again, "Brother, don't you think that Matsuura Katsuto acted too hastily today? Is Ai Hui's internal affairs not peaceful recently?" Although he doesn't like to pay attention to the undercurrents in these companies, after all, he also I have been in Ai Hui's company for more than six years, and I have heard a lot of gossip even if I don't care about it.There have been many attempts to pry Matsuura Katsuto from the position of president.He naturally thought of this immediately.
Zheng Yunhao glanced at him and smiled.
Shen Changmin felt a shivers down his back, his brother smiling like this meant that someone was going to be unlucky.He asked carefully: "Brother What are you going to do?"
Jung Yunho smiled and didn't answer, instead he brought up an irrelevant matter: "Changmin, do you know that someone in Aihui proposed to cooperate with YG to set up a company in Japan to operate the Japanese activities of all artists under YG?"
Shen Changmin nodded because he didn't understand: "I know, didn't you say soon? But does this have something to do with us?" Although they haven't talked about this topic, he has always known that the two of them have a consensus, that is, no matter how many juniors there are If you want to compete with them, they don't need to care.Because without this combination, there will be other combinations.Back waves will never end.All they have to do is improve themselves.So even though SM paid attention to YG's cooperation with Ai Hui, he and Jung Yunho didn't pay attention.
Now why does his brother suddenly say this?
"The reason why Ai Hui signed a contract with YG is because he tasted the sweetness of introducing Hallyu idols before. Although Ai Hui is the largest music company in Japan, he doesn't have a trainee system like Johnny's, and he can't follow his own ideas. Cultivate artists from scratch. The singers they launched themselves have not been really popular for a long time. And the Korean Wave has become very popular in the past two years. So Ai Hui, who is in a crisis of loss, how to make money in the shortest time? Of course, again Get a few popular Korean idols. JYP’s 2pm has signed with Sony, and they are very popular in Japan. The first choice for their artists to enter Japan must be Sony. Ai Hui’s best choice now is YG.” Zheng Yunhao followed Shen Changmin analyzed, walked to the refrigerator, opened the door and took a bottle of banana milk.
"But Ai Hui doesn't have the money to release an album for us now, can he spare the capital to set up a new company and release new artists?" Shen Changmin asked.
Zheng Yunhao smiled meaningfully: "So, it is Ai Hui and YG who set up a branch company, not YG artists who signed Ai Hui... If I guessed right, it should be YG who funded the establishment of the company and produced songs for the artists. Manage artists by yourself. Ai Hui only needs to provide name and local assistance, and wait for the share dividends. For Ai Hui, this is a no-cost business. The person who made this suggestion and bridged YG, I think it will be very popular with Ai Hui’s board of directors Appreciate it?"
"Is this why Katsuto Matsuura is in such a hurry? Because his previous wrong decision caused Ai Hui to suffer serious losses, but at this time someone proposed a plan to alleviate Ai Hui's crisis?" Shen Changmin suddenly realized.But when he understood, he was shocked by his brother's meticulous thoughts.
After looking at him in awe and admiration for a second, Shen Changmin forgot how scary his brother was, and asked unhappily, "Brother, you still didn't say what you are going to do?"
Zheng Yunhao took a sip of banana milk, licked the milk stains on his mouth, smiled like a soft and cute cat, and said: "On the 26th of this month, Ai Hui will hold a general meeting of shareholders. Since Matsuura Since he is so worried about someone threatening his position, why don't we find something for him to do, so that he won't have time to think about TVXQ."
----
After they talked that day, Jung Yunho started to go out after work.Shen Changmin didn't know who he met and what agreement he reached.I didn't even have time to ask him how it turned out.Because they encountered the most difficult thing now: Shen Changmin's hand was injured.
In the first half of this year, they concentrated on Korea. Apart from translating the main Korean album into a single released in Japan, they were promoting in Japan, and they were only active in Japan through various Korean wave platter concerts.Now they have just finished their Korean album activities, and they are about to release their second daily single after their comeback, paving the way for the upcoming Japanese album.At this critical moment, if Shen Changmin can't play songs, TVXQ with only two people left can only postpone the release of the daily single, or——
"Cancel the release plan of this daily list." After pondering for a while, Zheng Yunhao decided: ""IDon't Know" has already been included in the new album. After the delay, it will be too close to the release date of the album, so there is no way to release this daily list. It makes sense. Just cancel it and release an album directly.”
Shen Changmin's eyes darkened.Is it because of him that TVXQ's activities should be suspended?
He lowered his head and tried to move his injured right hand, and made up his mind: "Daily orders must be sent out. Don't mention anything else, do we have to sing all old songs on A-Nation? "Why" and "Maximum" We have also sung for half a year, and we are getting tired of listening to Japanese food."
Zheng Yunhao thought for a while, but still shook his head: "No, it's not a question of whether you want to be active or not. "IDon't Know" has too many hand movements. You can't finish the stage at all, it's better to heal your injuries earlier."
"How about a different song?" Shen Changmin insisted, "Let's change another song, as long as the hand movements are a little less, I'm fine."
Zheng Yunhao glanced at Shen Changmin's hand that was in plaster, and there was a battle between heaven and man in his heart for a while.After all, a strong sense of professionalism prevailed.He nodded hesitantly, and agreed to Shen Changmin's proposal: "Okay, let's go to the company to discuss it."
In Ai Hui's building, Zheng Yunhao and Shen Changmin ran into Ayumi Hamasaki head-on.
Shen Changmin's face turned cold instantly.
Katsuto Matsuura did not give up after being rejected by the two of them.Ai Hui gradually began to spread rumors that JYJ would return to TVXQ.Not surprisingly, this rumor was revealed to the media by "informed sources" and then made the news.
Even if it happened like that when they left the team, it can be called the ugliest boy group split.But there are many fans who turn a blind eye to all the evidence and just want to see the five people fit together.Many people cried with joy when they saw the news, called Aihui's customer service to inquire, or left messages on Aihui's official website.
The enthusiastic response made some people in Ai Hui who were already vacillating began to lean towards the five-member fusion.
Under such circumstances, many fans of the five remember that Ayumi Hamasaki is a fanatic fan of TVXQ, and they have a good relationship with several of them, and even cooperated with Kim Junsu's brother Kim Junho after Ai Hui banned JYJ.So they ran to her Twitter and asked her [ayu, do you like TVXQ 5 members? Can TT stay with us till 5 people? 】
The person who asked this question didn't expect to get a reply, but it was amazing that Ayumi Hamasaki quickly turned over the fan's brand and replied directly to her [I like it.There was no one around me who wasn't waiting for 5 of them. 】
Tangtang Ai Hui's first sister responded openly, saying that she was waiting for five people.This really made the five-person meal explode, and everyone was building momentum for the fit.Ai Huinei began to send people to talk to SM, and some people tried to persuade Zheng Yunhao and Shen Changmin to accept it.Shen Changmin was so annoyed at one time, how could he give Ayumi a good face, not to mention he saw an acquaintance beside Ayumi.
Ayumi greeted lazily: "Yo~ Yunho and Changmin, it's been a long time. By the way, don't you say hello when you see Junho?"
Zheng Yunhao's eyes swept over Jin Junhao calmly, and then nodded slightly to Ayumi Hamasaki: "Long time no see, senior. I have something to do with Changmin, so I won't bother you. Farewell." Completely ignoring the existence of Jin Junhao.
Ayumi Hamasaki smiled, not holding on to them.Seeing Zheng Yunhao and Shen Changmin walking away, she patted Jin Junhao on the shoulder: "Put away the reluctance in your eyes. Being popular is the right to be arrogant. If you are envious, seize the opportunity I gave you and try your best to climb up." ~Otherwise, you will be trampled under your feet for the rest of your life."
Shen Changmin caught up with Zheng Yunhao, and by his side, he gnashed his teeth and asked in a low voice, "This woman, how long is she going to get involved?"
Without looking back, Zheng Yunhao continued to walk forward with strides, and calmly replied to Shen Changmin: "Leave her alone. Her unscrupulous days are over."
Shen Changmin froze for a moment, and couldn't help slowing down.He suddenly remembered the news about Katsuto Matsuura's accusations reported by the Japanese media before the Aihui Shareholders' Meeting.
So, things are settled, right?
Shen Changmin smiled, held down the injured arm, and quickened his pace to catch up.
They finally decided to swap "IDon't Know" and "superstar".These two songs are still included in the single disc, only the primary and secondary changes.When returning to Korea, Shen Changmin quietly hid his plastered hand behind his back, but the news of his injury quickly spread throughout the fan circle.
Jin Eunhe knew from the assistant director of "The Attorney" who was in charge of arranging the casting work that Shen Changmin was still going to audition, so he couldn't help calling him to persuade him: "Changmin, since you're injured, don't force yourself to audition. There will be many opportunities like this in the future, let’s heal the injury first.”
"It's okay, Eun and sister. I can still sing live, the audition is nothing." Shen Changmin laughed.
In fact, he is not a person who loves work very much.But whenever he wanted to be lazy, he saw his brother practicing figure skating as hard as he could in the backstage of the concert, so he couldn't watch his brother work hard by himself.
"I'll be there on time tomorrow."
