Chapter 273 Day 269 of Being the Boss
After a few songs, it is time for the guest blind box stage that everyone is looking forward to.
Today, Xu Yisong also invited a guest, an old friend who came once last year, but this year only Kim Hee-cheol was there.
"Then let's welcome our super handsome beauty brother today - Kim Hee-cheol!"
Before Jin Xiche came on stage, a voice came over: "Ah! What kind of description are you using? What the hell is beauty?"
"Of course I mean it literally. I'm praising you, brother." The two of them seemed to have a bit of a conflict in their horoscopes, and they would always have a few words with each other whenever they met.
As she spoke, Xu Yisong stood up and offered the chair to him: "Hurry up, everyone is waiting for you." After she finished speaking, she deliberately turned around and asked the fans: "Don't you agree?"
Even though he was an acquaintance, everyone was still very surprised because he was the universal star Kim Heechul!
Kim Hee-cheol also performed while sitting. It was the "Goodbye Is Really Like Me" he collaborated with Kim Jang-hoon in 11, but today it was a gentle personal version.
Kim Heechul had two car accidents a few years ago, the most serious of which almost killed him. Although he survived, he was injured in 12 places and his left leg was almost completely broken. After the operation, seven steel nails of more than ten centimeters were implanted from his knee to his thigh, which made it impossible for him to complete high-intensity dance moves. When he was a guest last year, Xu Yisong arranged a separate part for him.
At present, he is also active in variety shows.
Kim Hee-cheol is a very good person. Although his mouth is sometimes very annoying, everyone would think that he is a very good and kind person.
They met because of Henry. At that time, she had no plans to enter the entertainment industry and only wrote songs as a hobby. However, Kim Heechul still took good care of her, a junior who was not an expert in the industry.
Not only would he spend time discussing music with her, giving her advice from time to time and helping her revise songs for free, he would also be very supportive when she released songs.
She just returned to Korea last year. Logically speaking, it would have been impossible for her to invite Super Junior as a guest with her fame at the time, but Kim Heechul agreed to help without even thinking about it after hearing what she said.
When she and Kwon Ji-yong were photographed together, he was the first to confirm with her after he found out, and his first concern was whether she would be affected.
As a senior and an older brother, Kim Hee-cheol really did a great job.
Although Kim Heechul has developed well in variety shows and performances in recent years, Xu Yisong knows that he has been insisting on rehabilitation. He likes the stage, so he will still participate in the team schedule even if he can't dance.
Looking at Kim Hee-cheol, who is excellent in every aspect and is simply a perfect idol, Heo Yi-sung always feels it is a pity. If it weren't for the car accident, Kim Hee-cheol might have gone further and stood at a higher position.
However, no matter what happened in the past, it is meaningless. The key is now.
Today, Kim Hee-cheol is still a very dazzling person.
Xu Yisong had far more choices of people to invite to this year's Surprise Box Concert than last year, but she still ended up inviting Kim Hee-cheol, who had attended last year, to the first show.
"Bunny's Surprise Box" is a personal concert of Xu Yisong, and it is non-profit. There are no tickets and no threshold for watching. The venue, equipment, and guest appearance fees are all paid by herself.
A losing deal that seems to be an absolute loss to outsiders.
This form is something that no artist can easily copy, nor dare to try easily. It is a complete gift that does not require any contribution from fans, and is only given to fans.
The entire Surprise Box Concert was a time exclusively for Xu Yisong and Binky to spend time together. At this moment, there was no business relationship between them. Everyone just came to enjoy a concert and feel the musical expression from Xu Yisong.
And at such a pure moment, Xu Yisong hopes that his guests are also pure people who truly love and enjoy music.
Just like Kim Heechul, whom she invited for the first show, and last year’s guests.
Of course, for this concert which was entirely funded by Xu Yisong personally, she would also use her privileges to seek personal gain, such as inviting her own artists to be guests and make an appearance.
After all, it was her concert and it was free, so she could invite anyone she wanted.
Last year she invited Blue Whale to be a guest, and this year she gave the opportunity to Song Eunyo, who debuted not long ago.
As a singer, the best way to hone and improve your singing skills, besides studying systematically with a teacher, is to sing more.
And the more primitive the stage, the better.
A live performance can easily expose a singer's various singing flaws, and the live version of the song will also have various flaws compared to the refined CD version.
But it is precisely this kind of performance full of flaws and problems that can truly hone a singer's strength.
Only singers who have truly experienced the test of live performances can truly improve their abilities and stay on the singing path for a long time, rather than becoming expired products eliminated on the assembly line.
Xu Yisong has always maintained this attitude towards the artists in her company.
FYH may not have many artists, but they must have talent, even if they are a group that debuted as idols.
It is certainly easier for idols who are packaged by companies like on an assembly line to make money. Both the cost of training, the tolerance rate and the risk are lower than those of Xu Yisong who carefully polishes his artists. But that was not Xu Yisong's original intention.
The ultimate goal of her company is money, but the process is not. Compared with making money, Xu Yisong is more like playing a business game of development. Life is long and short. Compared with a distant goal, Xu Yisong prefers to enjoy the process.
Therefore, within her ability, she always hopes to give her artists more choices.
This time the surprise box will be open longer than in the past and there will be more sessions. Not every session will have guests, and similarly not every session will have only one guest.
Just like the name of this concert – “Bunny’s Surprise Box”, it is a magical box filled with unknowns, but no matter what is opened, it will turn into a surprise in the end.
There were two special guests at the last Surprise Box Concert in Jeju Island, one was actress Lee Ji-eun, whom Heo Yi-sung selected for her year-end theater, and the other was her old friend Christian.
Just a few days ago, Christian's contract with his original company expired and was not renewed. The boy band C-CLOWN, which he originally belonged to, also announced its official disbandment.
With this, Christian completely bid farewell to his career as an idol singer.
