Chapter 319: Special Arrangement of a Show of Power
The man next to him is naturally Yoo Jae Suk. In fact, the two of them were going to Zheng Xiuheng's company to practice together today. After all, the filming of the "Infinite Challenge" music festival will be held in a few days. Zheng Xiuheng was not going to participate at first, but now he is no longer bound by his previous thoughts, so he decided to serve as the accompaniment for Yoo Jae Suk.
But before that, the two had a phone call in the morning, and Yoo Jae-seok said that SBS was going to start a talk show, and hoped that Jung Soo-hyung could serve as MC with Yoo Jae-seok. In fact, this proposal was very sudden, but in fact, it was just an auxiliary MC, because Jung Soo-hyung is now considered a radio star, and he is very topical, and he happened to know Yoo Jae-seok, so the PD there is quite pioneering, so he asked Yoo Jae-seok to invite him. Because of "Infinite Challenge", everyone knows that the two know each other.
There are also pictures of the two of them chatting and drinking coffee on MBC, which were also dug up on the Internet. Many people didn’t know who the man was before, and they were all taken from a distance, so they couldn’t recognize Zheng Xiuheng. But now that Zheng Xiuheng is so popular, the situation is different.
Zheng Xiuheng refused, and even when Yoo Jae-suk invited him to appear as a guest, the great god ended up throwing a tantrum, saying his car broke down and asked Zheng Xiuheng to pick him up.
Zheng Xiuheng was helpless, but it was not a big deal, so he just came over.
"Xiuheng, why don't you appear on the show? Look at JYP's Park Jin-young, doesn't he often appear on the show? I think you should appear on the show more often to promote the company!" Liu Jae-seok is now couldn't be more satisfied with his younger brother Zheng Xiuheng. There is no need to praise him. Anyway, in Liu Jae-seok's eyes, Zheng Xiuheng is just one word - "great". He is great in every aspect... except his harsh way of speaking.
Zheng Xiuheng drove the car and replied calmly, "I don't have much time now. I have too much work to do during this period. The company has not yet launched any good works. In addition to other work matters, I have to go home to spend time with my children. I really can't spare the time now. I can't use the one or two days of rest time every week to shoot the show!"
Liu Zaishi knew that the child Zheng Xiuheng was talking about was a younger sister, and Zheng Xiuheng didn't have a girlfriend, so he certainly wouldn't misunderstand. After thinking carefully about Zheng Xiuheng's words, Liu Zaishi asked with some surprise: "So what you mean is that if the company develops on track in the future and you have more rest time, you may participate in the filming of the show?"
Zheng Xiuheng nodded and said, "Of course, but forget about talk shows, and I won't participate in shows with low ratings. Just like Brother Zaishi said, if you want to promote the company, you naturally have to make good choices!"
"The kind from Two Days and One Night?"
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head and said, "That show can't have guests, so it's meaningless. Infinite Challenge is similar. If you really want to participate, just do an outdoor show that invites guests every week, promote your own company's artists, and attack newcomers from other companies!"
"Ah, your idea is too bad!" Liu Zaishi complained. I thought Zheng Xiuheng really had some good plan.
Zheng Xiuheng also thought what he said was a little funny, so he raised the corner of his mouth and replied: "I'm just talking casually. Who knows when I can have some free time. However, if Brother Jae-seok has any good program recommendations, please recommend Uncle Yoo Hee-yeol. I think he is quite interesting, but he looks a little perverted!"
Yoo Jae-seok shrugged helplessly. It seemed that Zheng Xiuheng would not accept those invitations to host. In fact, there were many people who asked him to invite them, of course, many of them were invited to appear on the show. Yoo Jae-seok was also very troubled. He also blamed himself for having a good relationship with the TV station staff, so this happened. This can be regarded as the difficulty of being a good person.
The two men chatted casually in the car. They were not in a hurry to get to the company. Instead, they found a milk tea shop on the road to drink breakfast tea. By the time they arrived at the airport, it was almost eleven o'clock.
After the two walked into the company's gate, they prepared to go directly to the second floor. However, Zheng Xiuheng saw a group of girls with heavy expressions squatting next to the practice room and next to the stairs, and question marks emerged in his mind.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you all look like you owe a loan shark?"
Zheng Xiuheng walked up to Kim Hyo-rin and asked, then looked at Kim Bo-ah and others beside him, and even a few little girls, who also had heavy expressions on their faces. What the hell was going on?
"Su Xiangxi, that's amazing!"
Yoo Hee-yeol and the other two felt like they were going crazy. In fact, during this period, with the help of Jung Soo-heng, the three giants went to the hospital every week starting in April to visit the woman in front of them and persuaded her to join the Antenna family.
In fact, before that, the three of them had heard of this gospel singer named Kim So-hyang, and they knew that her high notes were simply terrifying. However, the three of them really did not expect that Kim So-hyang's live singing would be much better than they had imagined. It was different from her previous videos. If anything, she had evolved.
Just now, the three of them had the same expression as the trainees in the practice room. In fact, they felt a little regretful and doubted whether the "show of strength" activity arranged by Zheng Xiuheng would leave a psychological shadow on the children.
After all, no matter how much criticism there is about Lee Hyori's singing skills, she was the figure who swept Korea in 2003. If it weren't for Lee Soo-young's highlight in 2003 and the win of the MBC Singer Awards, Lee Hyori would have become the second triple crown winner in Korea before Kim Jong-kook. Although there are regrets, Lee Hyori is a singer who has truly won countless honors.
But even such a master was also made to disappear by singing. After Kim So-hyang finished singing in the practice room, when the three giants wanted to find Lee Hyo-ri, she was nowhere to be found.
In fact, Lee Hyori came here specially to see Kim Sohyang today. After returning home yesterday, she went to Zheng Xiuheng's place to make a scene. The two did not mention work, but Zheng Xiuheng said that a new vocal teacher would come to the company tomorrow, and said that if Lee Hyori was still interested in singing, she could communicate with him more.
Although Lee Hyori's mentality is not conceited, she is very confident. She also knows many good singers, but not many of them are as popular as her. So with an unconvinced and critical attitude, Lee Hyori still came today, and then... nothing happened.
Jin Suxiang's uterine cancer was cured after three months of rest after surgery. Of course, this is only the recovery in terms of diagnosis.
After Jin Suxiang's surgery, Zheng Xiuheng visited her as a creditor. However, he did not go to collect the debt, but to invite her to join the Antenna Family.
Although Jin Suxiang was grateful to Zheng Xiuheng for lending money to her father so that she could undergo surgery, she did not agree to it easily.
Zheng Xiuheng did not force it, but he directly sent the three giants to visit the patient in turns. Of course, it can also be said to be an invitation.
If Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to his thatched cottage three times, then the three giants invited Jin Suxiang at least twenty times. After reading the information, they knew that Jin Suxiang was a good singer at first, and of course they did not object to Zheng Xiuheng's decision. But today they found that Jin Suxiang was much better than they imagined.
However, the three giants are musicians who have been immersed in this circle for many years, so they quickly came to their senses after the shock and roughly judged the level of singer Kim So-hyang. Although they were shocked, they could still bear it, after all, she was not at her peak yet.
For example, Yoo Hee-yeol’s good friend Kim Yeon-woo is one of the Korean male singers with superb singing skills. If Kim So-hyang is a talented and technical person, then Kim Yeon-woo is a teaching technical person.
One of them is a talented contemporary Christian music singer who is still developing, and the other is a practical, modern music singer with the same singing style. It is certainly unscientific to compare them directly.
But after being surprised, the three giants naturally calmed down, but they were looking forward to Jin Suxiang joining the company. Jin Suxiang came here today, and it seemed that she was persuaded by Zheng Xiuheng.
Unfortunately, Zheng Xiuheng kept the secret from the three of them, so Liu Xilie and the other two felt like they were being scratched by a cat.
Jin Suxiang, wearing a white shirt and jeans, looked very intellectual and her complexion was not very bad. She had been lying in the hospital bed for more than three months and she felt like she was about to rust.
However, her friends in the church all advised her to have a good rest, and her parents also took care of her every day, so even though Jin Suxiang felt that she had recovered, she still rested for a long time.
If I were to say what was the most special thing about this period, it would be that three uncles and a handsome young man would occasionally come to visit me, and then sincerely invite me to join the Antenna Family.
Well, Jin Suxiang admitted that she was also moved by several people. In fact, she has never thought of signing a contract with an entertainment company. Even if those companies that Zheng Xiuheng and others knew about invited her, Jin Suxiang did not really want to sign a contract with them. Instead, his parents talked more with those brokerage companies . This was related to personal pursuits.
But the emergence of the Antenna Family also touched Jin Suxiang, because Zheng Xiuheng said more directly that joining the company would make music together, and he also hoped that Jin Suxiang would serve as a vocal teacher. He did not have too many commercial ideas unless it was her own wish.
Simply put, the contract basically favors Kim So-hyang. Of course, this doesn't mean that Jung So-heng has suddenly become artistic, but that he has different expectations of Kim So-hyang. Moreover, as a devout Christian, Kim So-hyang does not have the idea of transforming into a popular singer. On the contrary, she is very satisfied with her identity as a CCM singer. Of course, the CCM here refers to Contemporary Christian Music (popular gospel).
The type of music that Kim So-hyang liked in the early days was actually very different from what it is now. However, her parents later divorced and she herself became seriously ill. The Lord she believed in gave her hope and allowed her to persevere. She gradually fell in love with Karen Clark Sheard's flamboyant personality, singing and dancing and singing high notes in churches or auditoriums.
In fact, the Kim So-hyang that the Big Three and trainees saw today is a new Kim So-hyang. Her singing style today can be regarded as a change caused by this serious illness and this period of time. At least in Korea, she already has a very distinctive personal style, which can be regarded as an evolution. It’s just that her goal has not changed.
"Three teachers, please stop saying that. To be honest, I'm also very embarrassed. I deliberately did that in front of the children!" Jin Suxiang was actually also very embarrassed. If Zheng Xiuheng hadn't repeatedly asked her to hit those children completely and without reservation to let them understand the true attitude of a singer, she would never have been able to sing like that in front of the children. She felt a little embarrassed when she thought about it now.
