Chapter 1010: The Curve
"A director is a position. ”
In the car, there was a driver driving, the bodyguard was the front co-pilot, Zhou Shaoqiang and Zhao Yang sat in the back and explained: "It is a workplace title in South Korea. Equivalent to a department manager. However, you can hire people if you need them later. For the time being, you are the director of the research department. Our newly added. ”
Zhao Yang sneered: "Yan Huang fooled me, right?
Zhou Shaoqiang said calmly: "President Yan didn't tell me that, he was very serious. And I'm sure he was also serious when he talked to you. Otherwise, if you're the same age as him, I don't think you have the same talent and abilities as him. ”
Zhao Yang looked at him expressionlessly, and Zhou Shaoqiang waved his hand back: "Don't be angry." I'll tell you the truth, we are all compatriots in Korea, and it would be boring to be hypocritical. ”
"Hmph~"
Zhao Yang snorted, but didn't care.
Then he said, "What exactly am I going to do?"
Zhou Shaoqiang shook his head: "I only cooperate, President Yan also said." You're under me, but I'm sure I don't care about you. Because you won't be involved in the specific work we are responsible for, it's more of a foresight to find and solve problems in advance. ”
Zhao Yang spoke: "He asked me to understand first, accumulate experience, and then find the problem by myself." Of course, the important thing is how to solve it. ”
Zhou Shaoqiang spoke: "If you want to save a little trouble, I can directly tell you why our domestic idol market is not as prosperous and developed as South Korea." As for how to solve it, don't talk about you, the president knows that the cause can't be solved, at least in the short term. ”
Zhao Yang was curious: "There is already a reason? I just hope I understand." ”
Zhou Shaoqiang nodded: "President Yan should mean that I hope you understand through yourself, and then integrate into the industry, from a layman to an insider." It is better to lay the foundation for solving problems in the future. ”
Zhao Yang thought for a while: "You talk about it first." At least give me a direction. ”
Zhou Shaoqiang frowned and thought about it, then shook his head: "Direction, it's a long story." It is a question of competitive pressure and employment pressure. ”
Zhao Yang grinned: "Are you so general?"
Zhou Shaoqiang smiled: "No way, do you know how much income the Korean idol industry adds to South Korea every year?"
Zhao Yang waved his hand: "Okay, okay." You let me slow down. ”
Zhou Shaoqiang didn't say anything more, and the car slowly drove towards the city of Seoul.
Arrived near YY company and rented a suite for Zhao Yang. It happened to be next door to Yan Huang's residence. It's just that Zhou Shaoqiang and Zhao Yang said that it is certain that Mr. Yan will not come over often. Of course, it will definitely come in the second half of the year, because the four girls will make their debut in August.
Zhao Yang is not tired, and it doesn't take long for China and South Korea to fly.
It is normal to put down the salute and go to the company with Zhou Shaoqiang. After that, Zhao Yang's position in the company, the door card, and the identity need to be handled. There is also the question of the time of the passport, and the office should also be arranged for him, as well as office supplies.
The most important thing is that although Zhao Yang doesn't care about the trainees, he is responsible for this topic. He will definitely not be able to study it in the future, and when the idol career in China and South Korea expands, he will have to do things.
Then, without any surprises, I met Jennie.
This is inevitable, Yan Huang of YY's company has already arranged for Zhao Yang to come in, how can he not meet it. Jennie subconsciously thought that he had somehow infiltrated and approached her. But this time, Director Nim of Zhou Shaoqiang accompanied him personally, and he also hung the company's staff card around his neck.
Jennie was a little unsure.
Zhao Yang waved his hand calmly: "I will work here in the future." ”
Jennie took a long breath and exhaled again, thinking she was grinding her mouth again. As a result, Zhao Yang motioned to Director Zhou: "You go and get busy, after all, you are the person in charge of YY." Shall I talk to her?"
Zhou Shaoqiang nodded and looked at Jennie: "This is Director Zhao Yang Zhao." You probably know each other. What will he be responsible for in the future......"
"I said it myself. ”
Zhao Yang was impatient, Zhou Shaoqiang was stunned, smiled and left.
Jennie looked at him a little defensively, "You come in...... Does President Nim know?"
Zhao Yang nodded: "He let me in." ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yang spoke: "Do you understand? Why is the development of your Korean idol group better than ours?"
Jennie is a little dazed, is this a change of strategy?
Subconsciously shook his head, Zhao Yang leaned aside: "What did Zhou Shaoqiang say? What direction is this?"
Jennie hesitated for a moment, better than every time he confessed to himself.
After thinking about it, he looked at Zhao Yang: "It means that Korean trainees are more bitter and have fewer opportunities." That's why I train harder and cherish the opportunity more. ”
Zhao Yang was puzzled: "Aren't the loyal trainees hard enough?"
After speaking, his eyes narrowed: "I heard that there are domestic trainees here?"
Jennie relaxed a little, chuckled and said: "It's not that it's not hardworking, it's that the market pressure is not strong enough." President Nim occasionally talked about the idols in your country, whether they are popular or not, they can be stuffed into the crew for filming. Then it is easy to become more popular, no matter how good the basic skills of vocal music, dancing and rapping are, they are not as good as the fame and fortune brought by a drama after it becomes popular. It doesn't take to practice so well. ”
Zhao Yang blinked: "Uh...... You can't do it in Korea?"
Jennie shook her head: "The Korean market is not big, and the population is not large. Even though it can be exported overseas, Japan has its own idol industry. Although Zhongguo has a good market, he does not understand the language. And the market is a little chaotic and not as mature as Japan. But Japan is no worse than South Korea, and they even developed earlier than us. Just don't take the overseas route. ”
Zhao Yang frowned: "You can also enter the Korean film and television drama market yourself." ”
Jennie said, "It's clear. It's not just that the audience will resist idols to act, thinking that they are relying on their faces and bodies to eat and raise their value. The entertainment industry also rejects acting skills, and generally only idols with appearance come to grab food. ”
Zhao Yang suddenly said: "Despise the chain, right?"
Jennie helplessly: "Sort of. ”
looked at Zhao Yang: "And South Korea is the chaebol, and ordinary people live under the shroud of the chaebol, and it is estimated that food, clothing, housing, transportation and even work are under the chaebol's industry." If you want to take the first step, there is not much chance of reaching the sky, and the idol career is one of the few kinds. But because of this, the competition is more intense, there are very few who can be selected into the company, even fewer can debut, and fewer and fewer can be popular when they debut. But there are still people who follow one after another, because once you become popular, you can make money at a very young age. Receiving advertisements, sending albums, holding concerts, and even doing variety shows. ”
Then he was curious: "Why are you asking this?"
Zhao Yang pondered, looked at Jennie and smiled: "I'm here to study these." Then find a way to solve the problem. You think I'm here to chase you?"
Jennie nodded, and Zhao Yang spoke: "Actually, it is." It's just that I changed my strategy. ”
Jennie turned her head and left, Zhao Yang looked at her back, smiled, and stepped into the office.
