Peninsula: Starting with a silly childhood friend!
Chapter 19: Liu Baiyuan's First Appearance
Before long, the morning sunlight woke Liu Baiyuan up instead of the alarm clock.
He had originally planned to stay in bed, but then he remembered that he had made plans to meet Park Jin-young today, so he reluctantly got out of bed...
He finished washing up in no time, changed into a decent set of clothes, and left home.
There's not much to eat at home, and he's not very good at cooking; he can only make instant noodles at most. So, it's better to eat out.
He quickly bought two rice balls and a bottle of water at a convenience store and then continued driving towards JYP.
It has to be said that having a car is really convenient; you can do whatever you want. If he had to take a taxi, he would have to make a choice: either go to a convenience store to buy breakfast and then take a taxi to JYP, or go directly to JYP.
But now that he already has a car, he says he wants it all!!!
Soon, he arrived at JYP's building again.
No matter how many times he visited, he always felt that the building was somewhat out of place with its surroundings...
JYP has two parking lots, one above ground and one underground, but they have different functions. The above-ground parking lot is mainly for artists' commuting vehicles, so that they can leave quickly.
The underground parking area is mainly for vehicles belonging to senior company leaders and visitors, so that the two sides do not interfere with each other and will not affect travel.
Given Liu Baiyuan's status, he would naturally be a VIP downstairs.
After parking the car, Liu Baiyuan took the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. Perhaps because Liu Baiyuan arrived early, the elevator did not stop in the middle and arrived at the top floor smoothly.
He easily found his way to Park Jin-young's office and knocked on the door.
"Enter!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Baiyuan pushed open the door and went in, "Brother Zhenying."
"Ah! It's Bai Yuan."
When Park Jin-young saw that Yoo Baek-won had arrived, he subconsciously glanced at the clock in the office. Sure enough, it was almost time.
Liu Baiyuan's father had already completed the collection of the scattered shares yesterday, so Liu Baiyuan had become a formal shareholder. The fact that Liu Baiyuan came today dressed so formally was also due to the possibility of him making a formal appearance at a shareholders' meeting.
Of course, there is another reason, which is that Liu Baiyuan's song "TT" has been "restored" by Park Jin-young.
JYP is, after all, an entertainment company with almost all the music equipment on the market. In addition, Park Jin-young is a top-notch producer. With a demo available, it would be too easy for him to add backing tracks.
Park Jin-young took Liu Baiyuan's USB drive out of the drawer, plugged it into the computer again, and said to him:
"The song you asked me to rewrite is almost finished."
After speaking, Park Jin-young started playing the music, and Liu Baiyuan sat on the sofa, listening to the music coming from the computer.
It must be said that this live recording is far superior in quality to his previous electronic synthesized tracks. While it's not quite like a completely different song, it's certainly a complete transformation.
This song isn't very long; three minutes is just average in today's K-pop.
Soon, the song ended.
Liu Baiyuan then said to Park Jin-young:
"It has to be Brother Zhenying, his work is much better than what I did before."
Park Jin-young listened to Liu Baiyuan's words, smiled irritably, and said to him:
"Alright, if it were someone else, I might have just gone along with it, but I didn't contribute anything to this song. I just followed your original score."
Park Jin-young had considered optimizing it, but when he was actually ready to start, he realized that no matter how he modified the score, it would always feel a little off, as if it was already in a very balanced state.
Whether it moves upwards or downwards, this original balance will be broken.
Seeing this, Park Jin-young had no choice but to abandon his own idea and recreate the piece based on Liu Baiyuan's demo.
That's why he refused Liu Baiyuan's compliments, since he hadn't really "surpassed" him.
"By the way, Zhenying, when are you planning to release this song?"
Upon hearing Liu Baiyuan's question, Park Jin-young's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he said slowly:
"It's definitely not possible during this period. These kids just finished their second mini-album comeback, and there will be a hiatus in between. The company has prepared a lot of activities for them during this time, so the earliest it can happen is October."
Upon hearing this, Liu Baiyuan nodded in understanding, but before he could say anything, he heard Park Jin-young speak again:
"However, October is also their comeback month. If you include promotion, recording, choreography and so on, they won't have much time to rest. It's already mid-June, and I estimate that they will start preparing for their comeback next month."
Park Jin-young did some quick thinking. He knew that a comeback wasn't just about releasing one song; an album, even a mini-album, needed at least six or seven songs.
All of these need to be recorded, and the time and effort required are self-evident.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and a man in a suit and tie walked in and said to Park Jin-young:
"President, it's almost time. You have a shareholders' meeting to attend."
Upon hearing this, Park Jin-young stood up, smiled at Liu Baiyuan, and said:
"Let's go, it's time for you to make your appearance."
Upon hearing his words, Liu Baiyuan stood up, straightened his clothes, and followed behind Park Jin-young.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this meeting was convened for him, after all, a new shareholder with a huge stake has entered the company, which is a shock to the entire power structure.
The meeting room is on the fourth floor of the company, which happens to be the same floor as Park Jin-young's office.
On the way to the conference room, Liu Baiyuan asked Park Jin-young a question.
"Brother Zhenying, is there anything I need to say later?"
Although he had asked his father beforehand and was told he didn't need to do anything, this was his first time attending a meeting, and he wondered if he should say something...
When Park Jin-young heard Liu Baiyuan's question, a gentle smile appeared on his face as he replied:
"No need. They hardly manage anything. The only one who really manages things is me. I just need to hold a meeting with them once a week to keep them updated on the company's current situation and future development direction."
JYP was founded by Park Jin-young. Although various events have occurred that have led to a significant reduction in his power, he remains the largest shareholder and president.
The other shareholders don't really manage things; at most, they oversee certain departments. However, they are all top leaders, and their subordinates naturally take care of the important tasks.
Therefore, whether Liu Baiyuan speaks or not is not that important.
As they spoke, the two arrived outside the meeting room...
