Korean Entertainment's Survival War

The days after the disbandment of the group were lackluster.

Except for the cruel MBK who asked Li Hanjie and Nam Dohyun to record video letters, other members including Xu Minghe uploaded handwritten letters to express their love for their teammates, staff and fans who supported them during the X1 activities. Our thanks and apologies.The dissatisfaction of fans is expected, but whether it is large-scale support or sit-in protests, it will not shake the capitalists' calculation of benefits.If all the fans can follow through on what they say, "If my idol isn't in X1, I'll get rid of fans", the brokerage company might consider one or two things, but some fans don't think so, and some fans can't bear it. That's enough, so Xu Minghe doesn't think fans' protests can change anything.

So did the later proposal on "restructuring".The heart that can harvest group fans looks very beautiful. There is more than one brokerage company that does not promote groups or operate independently and plans to let trainees be active in X1, but in fact it has no operational value, because no company is willing to let others get the first place. Therefore, no other brokerage company can do what swing can’t do, so the companies that intend to enjoy the X1 bonus are ambiguous. X1 is just Lee Han Gyul and Nam Do Hyun's personal wishes", just like CJ said that the fraud is Ahn Joon Young's personal behavior, no matter whether others believe it or not, first put yourself out of the way.This operation made Xu Minghe abandon the last sliver of illusions about MBK. You must know that he, as Zhong Tae-kwon, ended his status as an MBK trainee, and was almost locked in the office by the enraged trainee supervisor to perform martial arts. He was never so disappointed in MBK. .In the United States, a gangster went to South Korea as a trainee and appeared on the show. It is unreasonable to say that it is not too much not to use gangsters. Even if he took the initiative to stop the loss, it did not cause any serious consequences.

Other things are even more boring. Dispatch published a CJ whitewash article about the situation on the day of X1's disbandment, making it look like CJ sincerely left the matter of X1's continuation to various economic companies to decide. Han Shengyu went Watching Victon's concert was still exposed and caused some controversy among fans. However, it was also revealed that he had requested to attend on behalf of the group on the day of the dissolution, so Xu Minghe didn't have to think about it.Companies that want members to return to the company to make money for themselves have also made their own efforts to protect the image of their artists. The child is in a group with a fake reputation, so as to provoke fans of members with controversial and non-disputed rankings, as well as X1 fans and anti.The capital's show operation is one set after another, making full use of the fact that "people only see what they want to see".

Negative emotions such as Xu Minghe's loss, irritability, etc., reached their peak a month later when the Korean movie "Parasite" won multiple Oscar awards and the whole country of South Korea was jubilant.

Because "Parasite" is a movie released by CJ, CJ was also responsible for publicizing and lobbying the judges during the Oscar election.When the film won the award and the leadership of CJ who appeared in the Oscar was also recorded in this historic moment in the history of Korean film, Xu Minghe saw Xu Minhui standing next to CJ Vice President Li Miqing.He once apologized for the falsification of "produce101", but now he is one of the heroes who helped "Parasite" win the award. Together with his colleagues, he was recorded in this scene of nationwide jubilation.

—So how forgetful the public is.

Or CJ’s big business has done bad things, but this giant consortium that bears the national tax revenue and countless people’s jobs can’t be taken care of, so the phrase is “Even if you do bad things and make some contributions, you can still get credit for it.” Instead, the specific nature of the matter has to take a step back.As for X1, what if you can't take CJ, can't you deal with the ticket group like you?It is irrelevant to criticize a few capitalists who are capable of making fakes, but it will always be useful to open a post and scold them for being a ticket cafe, right?Accept this stain on your acting career, who told you not to object when capitalists make decisions?If you don’t want to make a debut, at most, the boss will treat you as ignorant and flatter you, and you won’t be able to make your debut as an amateur. If you are strong, you may not be able to make your debut if you wait for a while. The company can put a knife around your neck and force you to make your debut. no?

When Xu Minghe, who has no feelings for "Parasite" or Korean movies, experienced this "historic moment", he couldn't give any feedback other than a sneer.

Those who want X1 to disband could do nothing to the various agencies.You can only pour out your anger on one person.If it weren't for the fear that they would win the next round of men's team competition.Best to nip it in the bud.On the surface, everyone is righteous.As if disbanding was the final triumph of good over evil.Xu Minghe was still brooding about this matter.

His teammates are pretty much the same.But no matter what, life still has to go on.After the initial period of grief for the fans, the members who can arrange the next step of activities have gradually moved.From the initial live broadcast to the later fanmeeting, when fans accepted the reality that "X1 has disbanded", Xu Minghe could think of the return of the group that returned, and the solo debut that should be solo debut.

And it's not like he has nothing to do, as expected, Swing called him, wanting to talk about signing a contract.

"Is it a solo singer's contract?" Xu Minghe asked.

"What other ideas do you have?" The subtext is "It's not this, what else can it be?", besides doubts, there is a sense of taking it for granted.

Xu Minghe: "I'm sorry, because if I'm active as an idol, I can't accept solo, so I have to think about the contract."

Later, people from swing even came to the door, implying that the default agreement during the game, although it was not written in black and white, breaking the agreement is still not good.

"I did promise that if I debut in X1, I will sign a contract with swing." There is already a precedent for Kim Jae-hwan as an individual trainee signing to CJ after his debut, and it has become a "rule" with Xu Minghe, even if it is said, it is not too much Xu Minghe admitted frankly.

Then he said:

"But what about X1?"

I promised that after the debut of the group, I would sign a contract with Swing as an individual, but what about the group now?

Later, Zhao Youming called and asked him to meet. Although Tai Zhener's son and the current representative of Swing were far above Xu Minghe in terms of status, he didn't have to be troubled by money. An artist like Xu Minghe who has already established a reputation and strength has no problem When you sign in, you can pick up ready-made ones, which is worth spending more time than a business whose profit and loss cannot be guaranteed.

"You are the most persistent person to X1. I didn't realize it." Zhao Youming used two "actually" to express his surprise.

I accidentally revealed some emotions when I was on the phone with the swing people. Facing Zhao Youming at this moment, the calm Xu Minghe has recovered his politeness and restraint: "After hard work and failure, persistence is meaningless, but at that time, good My memories are still reminding me that it is too difficult to be active alone as an idol."

"You don't mind sharing the income equally with others, even if they are not as good as you?" Facing the juniors, Zhao Youming didn't need to care if this would hurt Xu Minghe who hadn't received the settlement yet.

Xu Minghe shook his head.

Even from a utilitarian point of view, is money as important as life, and system points as important?

But he couldn't help adding: "I look forward to having good teammates."

It doesn't matter if his strength is not as good as his, as long as he doesn't hold back, it will be good if there is some chemical reaction in business.

"The requirements are not low," Zhao Youming said, at least what Xu Minghe said is not just a small company and a few people can do it, "If there is no suitable one, you don't want to be an idol?"

After saying this, his eyes suddenly trembled, and he realized a problem that he had ignored:

In the past, he met people who were single-mindedly thinking of being an idol, but Xu Minghe's original intention was to be a band, and his professional ability at the band level is quite good!

Thanks to FNC for allowing the disbanded honeyest captain Xu Dongcheng to join NFlying as a bass player on the first day of 2020.Zhao Youming thought.

As expected, Xu Minghe showed a embarrassed expression: "It is not an easy choice to choose whether to act in a form that you are not good at and show a disappointing appearance, or to renege on the determination you expressed a year ago."

Zhao Youming: "You have plans to join a new group. If you say it, there must be many brokerage companies willing." Big brokerage companies are picky, and small brokerage companies can have a famous one. If Xu Minghe's standards are not It is easy to find a company if you are high.

Xu Minghe: "I had such a plan, but I felt that I should explain my thoughts to the company and representatives before doing so, and I didn't know how to speak."

Zhao Youming: Cut.

Who knows if you are afraid of offending Swing, or... MBK's dancers are really strong.

"What do you think of the X1 reorganization?"

"It's a beautiful vision," Xu Minghe said, "but it's hard to realize."

"It's a pity." Zhao Youming also sighed with some sincerity. He was really trying to make X1 continue its activities, although it was also for the benefit of the company.I remembered the time when Xu Minghe and him did their best for the survival of X1.

This center really has something special about it, whether it's ability or temperament.

Thinking of this, Zhao Youming also gave up the plan to engage in coercion and lure. Xu Minghe must have thought of the unsettled income, and it was useless to say: "You should think about it again. You'd better tell me first after you make a decision."

Xu Minghe: "Representative Zhao."

Zhao Youming: "Huh?"

Xu Minghe: "Can I open my own YouTube channel and soundcloud account?"

"Not satisfied with ins live broadcast?" Zhao Youming said, "I'm curious, who will get these in the end."

Xu Minghe opened YouTube and Soundcloud accounts, but did not sign a contract with Swing. People in the industry can easily see that Xu Minghe, who was originally designated as a "swing person", had a problem with signing the contract.Then they will inquire, so as to understand Xu Minghe's needs.

Xu Minghe planned it this way, and Zhao Youming also saw it.He didn't stop.

idol...the band...

Xu Minghe pondered for a long time, calling the system in his mind:

"System, how much is needed to calculate the consequences of the epidemic based on the existing information?"

In the end, Xu Minghe spent two weeks of his life letting the system build a model based on the existing data to estimate the spread of the epidemic that broke out in neighboring countries.

"worldwide."

Xu Minghe, who was thinking about the name of the YouTube channel, with his hands hanging on the keyboard, slammed out a string of garbled characters.

The author has something to say: Some people asked me to hack to solve the epidemic. This matter should be within the capabilities of the system and it will not be too expensive according to the settings. But isn’t it strange compared to the three-dimensional ORZ
