Chapter 006 Please answer 2014
"I didn't expect you to come back just after you were discharged from the army."
"Does father know about my return?"
"No, I didn't tell him, but I think he will be happy. You haven't called him that for many years."
Lee Hyun-kyu and Lee Hyun-cheol did not choose to take the elevator to Lee Soo-man's place, and walked from the first floor to the first floor as if they wanted to visit the entire company.
"Hello, Writer Li..."
When trainees in the past saw Lee Hyun-kyu, they would reflexively salute and greet him, and then more people, especially members of the opposite sex, would stay on Lee Hyun-cheol for two or three seconds. But most people just thought he was Lee Hyun-kyu's good friend, and
Not his biological brother.
Just because the appearance of these two people is so different. Lee Hyun Kyu's appearance is very ordinary, and the skin on his face is a bit rough. But his small eyes look like his father Lee Soo Man, and the overall impression is that he is stable.
Not only is Lee Hyun-cheol ten centimeters taller than Lee Hyun-kyu, but his skin, eyes, outline and temperament cannot be associated with his brother and father. Of course, if you meet Ms. Kim Eun-jin, all these questions will be solved.
"This is Girls' Generation's practice room..."
"This is TVXQ's practice room..."
"This is EXO's practice room..."
"This is Teacher Yu Yongzhen's studio."
"This is F()'s practice room..."
It took the two brothers about forty minutes to finish shopping around SM. Li Xianzhe looked at the various group photos hanging on the wall with great interest, knowing that these were undoubtedly the glory of S...M.
"I just heard the greetings from those trainees. Your position in the company is that of a writer?"
"Not really." Lee Hyun-kyu held back his blush when he mentioned this, but when Lee Hyun-cheol asked, he couldn't help but answer, "I participated in the creation of Girls' Generation's comeback album in 2010, and the title song of their album was
"HOOT" is the lyrics I filled in. You don't need me to tell you what happened next."
Lee Hyun-cheol nodded. As a younger brother, he still pays attention to his brother's matters. In 2011, when Lee Soo-man was invited to Stanford University in the United States to talk about the history of the development of "K-POP culture" and S...M's future plans, Lee Hyun-kyu served as
An English translator will accompany you throughout the entire process.
After the speech, his photos were exposed on the Internet through South Korean media, which caused a lot of discussion at the time. Only the youngest son, Lee Hyun-cheol, was not even able to get a photo of him and the all-powerful D agency.
Information, I don’t even know his name.
Unknowingly, the two brothers arrived at Li Xiuman's office, but there was no one inside. There was a slight smell of cigarette smoke in the air, which made Li Xianzhe frown.
"Father is still having a meeting in the conference room at this time."
"Is it because of EXO and Girls' Generation?" Lee Hyun-cheol looked at the SM family calendar on the wall and smiled silently. After thinking about it, EXO's system of twelve people will come to an end soon, and there will be girls
Times, and F(), 2014 is undoubtedly an eventful year.
"Since you have guessed it, I won't hide it from you. Kris, the captain of EXO's Chinese elementary school unit, quietly disappeared for a month in March last year. After that..." As Li Xiankui told it, Li Xianzhe's mind slowly
Information about Kris slowly flashed up.
Looking at the four sons of China, not to mention the other three, just looking at Kris, if we use a full five-star rating to evaluate this player in an all-round way, Li Xianzhe would give him four stars. He knows that for the upcoming May termination of the contract
It can be said that Kris Wu had planned this incident for a long time.
He disappeared for a month and a half in 2001 and returned to the team after causing some sensation in the fan circle. Many people are curious why Kris did not terminate the contract at that time, but waited until a year later to suddenly terminate the contract?
Li Xianzhe believes that the main reason is that Kris' foundation was unstable one year ago, and his popularity was far from enough to compare with the period after the contract was terminated. Don't look at the fact that he was called the "fourth son of China" by some fans in the Huaxia region at that time.
"As the leader, in fact in South Korea, the most popular member does not have his turn at all. Everyone cares about Chen, Baekhyun, Xiumin, D.O and so on.
It can be said that compared to the past, Han Geng had no choice but to terminate the contract. The Kris incident was more like using SM's packaging as a seesaw. In addition, if you want to terminate the contract, you must have a suitable domestic company to contact you before you can take the next step.
But Kris did not have these factors at the time, so the timing was not the most suitable. A year later, EXO's new album "Overdose" had just been released, the promotion had just begun, and the big team had just finished working on
After Huaxia Kingdom's first Fan Meeting, the members began training to prepare for their first concert after debuting a week later.
Anyone can see that this time is the best time to catch S...M off guard, the best blow, and it will cause the biggest sensation, and the hype will be more successful. Kris chose this time very well, more like
He made an appointment with the Chinese media to release the news at 11 a.m. that day. An hour after that, the Seoul District Court received his own written lawsuit.
The final effect is self-evident, coupled with the cooperation of Huaxia's marketing accounts and netizens, such as harsh treatment by the company, financial constraints, illness, and the black material is the rejection of teammates, illness is still caused by people who have practiced together but
A series of evidence, including test sheets revealed by a friend who failed to debut, further fueled the incident.
At the same time, major entertainment media in the Mainland started public relations and continued to increase the hype about this matter. The overall method was very clever, reflecting his company's public relations capabilities. But it seems that these are all his team's
Does the credit have nothing to do with him?
Not necessarily! At least he didn’t reveal his secrets, and didn’t show any abnormality in interviews, singing competitions, fan meetings, variety shows, private meal shoots, etc. From this point of view, we can see how terrifying this scheming is, so many people are optimistic about it.
As for his career as an actor, netizens say he is an acting emperor. He deliberately created a close relationship with his teammates and told fans there would be surprises in the upcoming concert, all of which were very natural.
But there is a saying that no matter how smart you are, there will be times when you are confused and show your flaws. Just like later, in order to forcefully clear their idols' names, many people would use Han Geng's contract termination incident to try to rationalize the Kris incident.
.Not long after, such remarks were slapped in the face by Kim Heechul, a senior in the same company.
In the variety show "Battle of Words", Kim Heechul pointed out that there is no comparison between him and Han back then, not only because he was not popular enough, but also because Han was able to escape from SJ back then and gained a lot of favorability without losing anything.
, and he may not be able to do it, because he is destined to bear the stigma of betraying his teammates, so he is still worse than Han Geng.
So, apart from this, what are the differences between him and Han Geng on the matter of contract termination? Let's not discuss the fictitious aspects of popularity, let's talk about it from an objective point of view.
As the first foreign artist to debut in South Korea, Han Geng completely opened the door for foreign artists to debut and develop in South Korea. Moreover, he signed a fifteen-year prostitution contract, but after the "TVXQ termination incident" broke out
, all the brokerage companies in Seoul at that time made many changes to the terms of the contract, and the time was reduced to seven years.
So no matter how unfair and restrictive the contract was to Kris at the time, it was definitely not worse than Han. Looking at the comparison of their physical problems during the time when the contract was terminated, it is even more clear.
Han Geng himself is the lead dancer of SJ, and the lead dancers of S..M Company are all injured. Many artists often take a lot of medicine to treat back injuries. Even fans know this. Moreover, Han Geng returned to China after his contract was terminated.
It was once revealed that he discovered a fracture during practice, and even had the fractured part reshaped in order not to delay practice.
Later, he couldn't bear it anymore and went to the hospital, but the doctor told him that the fracture had healed. Kris was not a lead dancer, so there was nothing wrong with his waist and legs, but according to rumors at the time, it was said that he was in poor health. A news release from a domestic media said that
The possibility of myocarditis cannot be ruled out.
Myocarditis, for those who don’t know, this disease sounds very serious, but its scope is very large, ranging from major to minor. The most ridiculous thing is that the domestic media at that time only issued a list of blood biochemical tests.
, Li Xianzhe still remembers that at that time, many medical netizens in the comment area under the news pointed out that myocarditis could not be diagnosed by blood tests alone.
