"But then next year is going to be a really busy year.

Nine of the Imperial Girls debuted, and the Produce project was put into filming at the beginning of the spring, and according to the process of a variety show of this nature, it will end in three to four months, which means that the candidates will be confirmed in August at most.

After that, it will enter a one-to-two-month preparation period for the production of a new album, and it will definitely be able to debut before October.

JYP's new girl group debuted at about the same time as the trainees of the produce project, as well as YG's boy group and SM's boy group, and the three major clubs plus our company are all going to launch new groups this year. ”

Ji Zhonghua found the process plan related to the 'Produce Project' and handed it to Song Ki-beom.

"Recently, the people in the PR Department have been paying attention to the situation in the outside world, and according to the chairman's previous explanation through a cross-ocean video conference, there should be no problem in launching the Reduce project in October.

The audition lasts for two to three months, and one month is used to receive trainees to send personal introductions and talent show videos to the official mailbox.

All that remains is the on-site interview, which is planned to be joined by the 101 trainees at the end of December or early January next year. ”

Song Jifan raised his eyebrows, "A month's time, isn't it a little too little?"

A normal variety show with a competitive nature is generally open to registration channels on the Internet half a year or three months in advance.

After a little bit of screening by the program team, and the 'produce' project, there is only one month from the acceptance of registration to the official start of the audition, which seems to be a little...

"The 'produce' project is aimed at individual trainees or those who have a brokerage company, and some former artists who have been active but have not become popular may also participate.

Therefore, in terms of the efficiency of registration and processing, it is naturally not comparable to the general competitive variety shows for the public.

In addition, long before the chairman went to the United States, information about the planning part of the program began to be communicated to the top management of major companies, and we only screened so many trainees regardless of the number of applicants. ”

What's more, how many people signed up in the end, Ji Zhonghua believes that Li Xianzhe doesn't care.

Because it's the first season, this time 'produce101' is just much better than the original situation in Lee Hyun-cheol's memory.

And this time, Li Haoyang is the person in charge of the program team, and instead of him who is not in South Korea, he took the initiative to contact major companies, so when it was confirmed that most of the companies appeared, those who signed up became a cover.

They will still make sure that the trainees on the list will compete for auditions, and the audition part is not included in the part of the show, and they don't care about this part of the public at all.

The so-called audition also has a pass rate, and some people will be eliminated even if they have outstanding strength but no characteristics.

"How's the construction of the villa dormitory in Paju English Village going?"

"All the processes are over, just waiting for the show to start recording and the trainees to move in.

All potential safety hazards have been investigated, and the beds have been put on the most comfortable mattresses and bedding in accordance with the president's standards.

And according to the president's request, the Imperial Security side will dispatch security guards at any time to protect these trainees' practice and private life on weekdays from being disturbed by fans. ”

Although he tried his best to be foolproof, Song Jifan still didn't feel at ease.

"I'd rather shoot more people, after all, illegitimate meals and paparazzi must be guarded again, and the situation like "MixColor" can't happen again.

In case of a recurrence of illegitimate meals mixed into the dormitory and causing trouble to the trainees, be sure to kick those illegitimate meals out before causing a commotion, no.... Directly sent to the police station, direct prosecution with non-stop warnings. ”

For illegitimate meals, which are no different from black fans to some extent, Lee Hyun-cheol and Song Ki-beom have always taken a very decisive form.

If a major company encounters illegitimate harassment, the most they can do is to issue a few non-threatening statements to condemn it, and this method often does not even achieve basic deterrence, let alone a cure.

"We have discussed these in private meetings, and we will definitely do a good job of this show, and everyone is full of enthusiasm. ”

Can you not be full of energy? Normal staff and the behind-the-scenes personnel of the program team used to receive meager salaries.

If there is an accident, you will not be protected at all, and you will be squeezed at work, and you don't even think about welfare.

"This time, as long as there is no problem, the bonus is indispensable to everyone, and in addition, I must tell the staff of the program team when the time comes, be kind to the trainees.

They are all the guarantee of the show's ratings and reputation, and they treat their sisters as they treat them, just for the sake of money. ”

Ji Zhonghua laughed, "Our president is the only favorite side of the trainees, and now there is JTBC in the company, who doesn't know."

Needless to say, with the rules inherited from "MixColor" and "Please Answer 2007", these people will also abide by them, and there are few companies in Seoul that can be as generous as our company. ”

"The premise of generosity is that we make more, and if we dare to spend money, we will naturally be able to make more money, you know?

According to the statistics of the finance department not long ago, there are different time periods for the advertisements of the last live broadcast of "MixColor".

The TV station doesn't count the share we can get, that is, on the Internet, the 120-second ad before the start of the program contains eight companies, each with a time of 15 seconds.

There is also the advertising time period of the intermission before and after the announcement of the results, and before they debuted, thirteen advertisers have signed exclusive endorsement contracts with the company.

Many album manufacturers have also begun to actively contact us, and have proposed a lot of discounts to undertake the album production and peripheral printing after the debut of the imperial girl.

In addition, the clothing sponsorship and the provision of meals have been contacted by the 'produce' project in the past half month, which together have been the income of ordinary small and medium-sized companies for two and a half years, and I am afraid that it will shock the jaws of a group of media when it spreads. ”

"So much?"

Ji Zhonghua showed a slightly surprised look on his face, if according to what Ji Zhonghua said, these two programs are just the benefits brought by these things, and the minimum is more than three or four billion won.

This is not counting the benefits of their albums, peripherals, and various tours and variety shows that make the group brand shine after their debut.

Just watch the period from the start of the show to the end of the U.S. roadshow, the money earned by the Imperial Girl for the company's overseas revenue, combined with the domestic one, exceeded 10 billion won every month.

These are the money that has been recorded in the account, and the company spends money like a lot of money in all aspects compared to ordinary companies, but it is also a daily income.

"Of course, although it is said that the men's group is used to attract money, and the women's group is used to increase the stock price, but because the chairman has not yet considered when to list Imperial Entertainment.

So now it seems that the girl groups that came out of these two shows are not going on the usual path, and the money they earn is much stronger than that of the boy groups that come out of medium-sized companies. ”

"Even the girl group is like this, but what about the boy group? I heard that the president has even written a plan for the second season. ”
