Korean Entertainment's Survival War

When X1 first debuted, there was no contract.Whether it's them personally, their agency, or Swing, which is in charge of X1's activities, they didn't set up black and white credentials as constraints, they just relied on the default rules during the competition and CJ's background to form a tacit understanding.At that time, it was not that no one thought it was wrong, but the fact that CJ was eager to let X1 debut did not seem unacceptable, and it is not uncommon for a rookie group that debuted for three months to not settle.It wasn't until X1's activities turned red that they realized the hidden danger.

"Will CJ support us?" When talking about whether the agency will support the members' activities in X1 or pull people back to use it themselves, Xu Minghe raised a question, "It is not good for public opinion to disband X1 actively, but if If the income is not settled all the time, and if the management company is allowed to vote on whether the group will continue to be active, will there be a situation where 'the management company unanimously agrees to the dissolution of X1'?"

"It's impossible for them to delay settlement forever," Cao Chengyan said, "However, it might affect the swing companies, who knows."

In terms of the degree of "freedom", Cao Chengyan, whose career was already on the right track before the competition, was second only to Xu Minghe. The brokerage company Lehua didn't care much about him, basically making decisions on his own.Even so, he failed again and again in the "debut" matter, especially he renewed his contract with Lehua in order to be in X1 activities, only three months later he encountered such a thing, Cao Seungyan's mood is also the same Visibly bad.

Xu Minghe raised his arms and looked at the phone, feeling as if he was strangled by the neck, unable to control his life or death—at least he couldn't do anything about how to go after the combination, and the determination he expressed to his teammates was aimed at In the worst case, when it really comes to that point, he has nothing to look forward to in the idol business, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about anything, he can "die together".

At this time, he saw the new news, which was posted by the agent in the group.

"We can go out before we return to China," Xu Minghe raised his head, "Do you want to go out, brother?"

"What are you going to do?"

"I won't go to the night market," Xu Minghe looked down at the group chat again, and said, "I'll go to the beach to see."

"Oh? I also asked how your self-composed music is going, Minghe," Cao Chengyan also took out his mobile phone, "swing is still pretty good, isn't it?"

Xu Minghe nodded. CJ is not monolithic internally. It is their fault that X1 debuted without even signing the contract. The company Swing, which also belongs to the CJ faction and is in charge of X1 activities, is not satisfactory, but Swing wants to run X1 well. They can feel it.

Standing where they are, it is difficult to use "good" or "bad" in the traditional sense to choose a camp, and they can't see any absolute justice or evil that falls on the individual, almost all for the benefit of the community collective behavior for profit.Ahn Joon Young is the target of everyone's criticism, but even if he is really a black-hearted person who is rotten from beginning to end, the production series can become like this is not because of him, Mnet's intention, the management company of the trainees-whether it is the debut The one who is still undebuted, cooperate with it, and the one who sits on the PD position is a moral model, the change that can be brought about is nothing more than less bad cuts, and then he is replaced because he is too ignorant of current affairs.

There is nothing noble about Xu Minghe's thinking now, but he just hopes that the camp whose interests are most consistent with his own can win the game.

But there is little hope.

Thailand is a tropical country. In November, South Korea already has the breath of winter, but the average temperature here is still [-] degrees.Xu Minghe walked to the beach wearing a T-shirt and shorts. The salty and warm sea breeze was blowing in his face. He was in a rare calm, allowing his tired heart to rest.

"Brother Seung Yeon, why did you let me watch the sea with you?" He looked at Nam Do Hyun next to him and asked, "Isn't this a bit strange?" Just like Xu Minghe is not suitable for innocent and cute, even a height of 1.8 meters [-] can't cover it The childish Nam Do-hyun is also not suitable for things related to "deepness".

"The atmosphere won't be so heavy when my brother and I are together." Nam Do-hyun said.

"It seems so," Xu Minghe said with a smile, "Do you have any plans?" Relatively speaking, Nan Daoxian doesn't need to worry so much, because he is also one of the relatively smooth ones. As a trainee, he debuted not too long ago. When he became a member of X1, he hadn't graduated from junior high school. His debut position was not too controversial. After X1 became obsolete, he went back to practice for two years and found another opportunity to debut.Saying to grown-up people, "Leaving the group with the strength will make a good development", just stand up and talk without pain in the back. Idols who engage in solo are completely cool after the rain. The achievements can be counted on one hand, including those who have changed careers in the direction of actors, etc. Are so many seniors not capable enough to co-author?

Also because of this, Xu Minghe thought he cared a little less for him.

"Has it reached this level?" Nan Daoxian said hesitantly.

"No," Xu Minghe realized that he didn't speak clearly, and he explained, "There may not be anything we can do in the short term. Thinking about what we are going to do is better than remembering, right?" Memories are very hurtful Yes, Xu Minghe guarantees with his personal experience.

"You don't have to think so much," Xu Minghe continued to add because he was afraid that his words would put pressure on the child, "I still have to go to school. I don't know what it will be like to go to school at this time."

Xu Minghe, who took the college entrance examination, and Jin Yaohan, who was specially recruited in sports, are special cases in X1. The others are basically studying in the high school of art. Their classmates are not idols or trainees, but they just want to pursue careers in the entertainment industry.Situations among classmates can sometimes be very different, and it is also a little difficult for these young people to maintain a normal mind in the face of this disparity.Or flattery, or jealousy, compared to the latter more, most of the time it is hidden in the heart, when meeting a particularly stupid or bad person, or encountering a certain opportunity, it will become words or even actions.The X1, which rose early mainly by luck, and later had a fraud scandal, fits the situation very well.From the time when the police said there was fraud to when An Junying confessed, the teammates who were in school had heard some sour words, and things like this would only get worse later on.

Xu Minghe put his hand on Nan Daoxian's shoulder and said worriedly.

"Don't treat me like a child," said the [-]-year-old teenagers. This is what annoys them the most. "I also read the comments on the Internet." He is ugly, his face is swollen at every turn, and he dares to call himself a creative genius without a decent composition. Compared with the cold violence that may be encountered at school and the bad reviews that have not been interrupted for several months on the Internet, the difference is not far, and it is not much worse.

"You are younger than me." Unless you have a systematic age like me and it goes up and down, but Nam Do-hyun's behavior still matches his age.

Nam Do-hyun: Forget it, it’s a bit difficult to convince this brother.

But when he grew up overseas, he is not so "Korean" when getting along with others. Even if he wants to get close, he usually doesn't act like a baby: "Then...do you have inspiration, bro?"

Xu Minghe looked at his little grown-up appearance, and finally had a sincere smile on his face: "Inspiration doesn't come whenever you want, but there is nothing to do now, so it's a good choice. So, I can Have you heard of Do-hyun's inspiration?" He and Nam Do-hyun stood shoulder to shoulder by the seaside, with what could be called a "brilliant" smile on their faces, as if they had talked about something happy.

Nam Do-hyun: "I..."

Seeing that he was stuck, Xu Minghe didn't feel embarrassed anymore, he smiled and squeezed his eyes: "I'm not wrong, am I?" Inspiration doesn't just come when you want it, "Listen to me?"

Nam Do-hyun nodded.

Xu Minghe turned his head and looked at the sea, his singing was full of empty and vast, lofty and lonely mood:

"Whether I can stand still, in this, among the collapsed world. Whether I heard a thunder, or your prayer. I have no way of remembering, who led me this way."

"Whether I am loyal or not, here, among the ruined world. The waves whisper, words that no one can understand. He who drinks from the well, may he know the depth of the well."

"Whether my original intention remains the same, here, in this chaotic and complicated world. Whether I can be preserved, here, in this completely destroyed world. Oh, my friend, what do you see? In your life A life lived, a dream melted. I was on the move, but now I'm stuck."

……

Xu Minghe integrated the negative energy in his heart that would make him feel ashamed when he confides to others into the music, turning it into a singing voice that is as soothing as the waves beating at night, played by the vocal cords against the background sound provided by the waves until he sang "A Dilemma ", it stopped abruptly, and only the sound of the sea remained in the world.

Xu Minghe let out a long sigh: "I hope there is no need to post it in the past two years." If X1 can continue to be active as an idol group, Xu Minghe will definitely not sing this kind of song that has a desolate taste from the tune to the content in a short time For young fans.

And Nan Daoxian thought "painfully" for a while: "No wonder my brother treats me like a child, my music is still very young." Korean melodies can also come at your fingertips, which shows your skills.

"You've done a good job. In the initial stage," it's too early to set up the character of a talented composer, and you have to work harder to avoid being bullied in the future. "Is there anything else you want to say?" Xu Minghe looked Nan Daoxian had an expression on his face, as if he still had something to say in his heart, so he asked.

"But I made a mistake in saying something," Nam Do-hyun said seriously, "Inspiration comes whenever you want—for me."

Xu Minghe: "I...not...the chords to be matched have been written before, I have changed the tunes of the past and refilled the lyrics." The "assembly line" of multi-person division of labor has not reached the point where everything can be done in one go. Don't get me wrong, my child!

The author has something to say: The original song sung by King Zhuang of Chu is the English "unshaken", an episode of the game I played
