Kidnap a superstar for a romance

Chapter 634 If Line If You Haven't Left Korea 102

This summer seems to be hotter than any other year. The hot weather makes people uncontrollably irritable.

At the end of June, Heo Yi-sung was suddenly called over by Lee Soo-man. The reason for being called over was simple and straightforward, and he rarely beat around the bush: "Get ready, the company plans to have you release another mini album this year."

Hearing this, even Xu Yisong was stunned by this sudden return. The company clearly had no plans for her to return this year. This was something they had told her about a long time ago. Why did they suddenly change the plan?

"The specific time of return is..." Half a year has passed now. If we say we are going to release an album now, it will take at least several months to prepare. The return time will most likely be after October.

But the company is clearly not arranged according to normal circumstances.

Lee Soo Man folded his hands, tapped the table lightly with his fingers, then raised his eyelids and looked at Heo Yisung, his tone was the gentleness that Heo Yisung was familiar with: "As soon as possible, preferably before September. I believe it won't be a problem for you if it's just a mini album. I know you have a lot of new songs hidden away, don't worry too much this time, just pick a few that you think are suitable, and you'll be allowed to go through if there's no big problem."

It was rare for them to be so easy to talk to, and it was rare for them to relax the restrictions. However, the fewer restrictions there were, the lower the company's expectations for this new album, and the subsequent production budget and specifications would be relatively different.

Xu Yisong didn't say anything, but silently thought about the purpose of this return.

Although his tone of voice was gentle and kind, Heo Yisong clearly felt that Lee Soo Man was not in a good mood at the moment.

However, this bad mood should not be directed at her, but her return this time may have a lot to do with what Lee Soo-man is worried about.

"Also, I'll give you a different producer partner this time."

After hearing this, Xu Yisong, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but speak up: "Kenzie and I work well together, and she knows my style better..."

"I know." Lee Soo Man interrupted Heo Yi Song, then he took off his glasses and pinched his nose as if he was a little tired, saying: "I know you have cooperated many times, and each time you cooperated very well. Maybe she is indeed the most suitable for you, but she is not the only one who can do it."

In fact, Xu Yisong doesn’t even need a music producer. She is the best partner for her music. No one knows the effect she wants better than herself. Moreover, “Kenzie is the producer of the company. She can’t just work for you.”

Kenzie has not been in the company for long, and as a producer she does not have enough experience, but her ability is strong enough.

Starting with Heo Yi-sung, she later produced music for Super Junior, Girls' Generation, and SHINee. She has a solid foundation, is innovative, and has a very unique style. Lee Soo-man wants her to be in charge of the new group that is preparing to debut this year.

Yes, after launching Girls' Generation and SHINee consecutively last year, the company is going to launch another new group this year.

I shouldn't be so anxious, but this is all I can do now.

Now Lee Soo Man was not discussing with Heo Yi Song at all, and Heo Yi Song also understood that this was something Lee Soo Man had already decided.

For her, changing producers is not a big deal, because she has always been the real producer of her albums. She just felt that Lee Soo Man's decisions were a bit hasty, even too hasty.

Soon Xu Yisong understood why he was so anxious.

In early July, TVXQ held their first concert at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, which also announced that their influence in Japan has further expanded. This is a new and difficult to replicate glory for TVXQ.

But no one expected that what they thought was the road to the throne would actually be the last glory. What was even more unexpected was that this glory would be so short-lived.

Just like the fireworks at the end of a concert - brilliant and grand but fleeting.

On the last day of July, three members of TVXQ, Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu, sued the company and requested to terminate their contracts.

This six-month-long internal negotiation, during which nearly thirty rounds of negotiations took place, ultimately failed to reach a settlement and ended up in court.

There was no suspense about the ending. The contract was an unreasonable gray contract. Kim Jae-joong and the other two won the lawsuit and were ultimately able to terminate the contract and leave SM without any compensation.

Since the preparation for the lawsuit, the three of them have never appeared in the company again. The last time Xu Yisong saw them was at a previous concert.

Parting comes unexpectedly. Many times, before we have the chance to say goodbye properly, we just turn around and when we look back, people are gone.

After seeing all this, Xu Yisong finally understood why the company wanted her to return quickly, and finally understood why they were hastily preparing for the debut of a new group at this time.

If this is not done, there is no way to reverse the negative impact that TVXQ's disbandment has brought to the company.

Even at this point, the company did not dare to really cut ties with the three people who left.

The fans actually did not blame Kim Jae-joong and others for leaving. On the contrary, most of them were celebrating their smooth departure. They were sad that only three people left.

After all, the contract terms offered by the company were too excessive.

With the success of Kim Jaejoong and others, many fans of other artists also began to get agitated, hoping that their idols could escape from the sea of suffering. For a time, both the artists and fans were in a state of agitation, and it would be strange if the company was not anxious.

In order to retain fans, the company released an announcement saying that it would try its best to gain cooperation with the three people who left to ensure a complete TVXQ.

The fans believed this.

Not only the fans, but even Kim Jaejoong and others believed it.

But is it really that easy?
