335 Selection of trainees

The time required to make an album is actually calculated from the beginning of song collection and album planning, and when it comes to the recording stage, the progress is relatively fast. Lee Joon-yi's preparation for the three episodes of this episode began intermittently during the filming period of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", and it took more than half a year to start recording. When recording, one song a day is already a very slow progress, but Li Zhun Yi originally had high requirements for himself, and he kept improving the album, so it was very common to record a song for two or three days. Even so, Lee Joon-yi is working on the work at full speed, and only ten days have passed in the first month of the new year, and most of the album recording has been completed.

In the past two days, Li Zhunyi was recording the song "Friend" with Lin Xiyuan, Lin Xiyuan has been away from the trainee life for nearly three years, and he was still a little nervous when he suddenly let him enter the recording studio, so he kept making mistakes. Li Zhunyi will not have a good face just because the other party is Lin Xiyuan, he is still strict, and hopes to show the best Lin Xiyuan in the album.

Entering 2oo8, as a Chinese, Li Zhunyi naturally also paid attention to the Beijing Olympics, but there was still more than half a year before the Beijing Olympics, although Li Zhunyi was excited, he still temporarily withdrew his attention and devoted himself to the major affairs of the "Yi family".

After Li Zhunyi opened the American branch of the "Yi Family" and took over the "Twilight", the pace of recruiting trainees for the "Yi Family" finally began to operate.

Unexpectedly, the number of applicants actually exceeded 1,005 people, which made Park Jinyu, who was in charge of the first round of interviews, startled, under normal circumstances, the recruitment of trainees by brokerage companies is not as large-scale as the draft, whether it is publicity or organization, the number of applicants can break 1,000 is large-scale, before JYP company recruited trainees, the number of applicants exceeded 1,000, which is the largest interview in recent years. Unexpectedly, the "Yi family" would easily break this number.

When deciding to recruit trainees, Lin Xiyuan and others were worried that the number of applicants was too small, after all, the "Yi family" has a thin foundation, and there is only one artist, Li Zhunyi, and the appeal is still too weak.

But if you think about it carefully, it is also expected, at the two award ceremonies of MKMF and Golden Record, Lee Joon-yi's sweeping trend is a very rare phenomenon in the Korean music scene in recent years. This made Li Zhunyi's momentum also reach a new height. At the year-end song celebration, Lee Joon-yi's stunning performance was overwhelming, and all the media's praise for Lee Joon-yi was overwhelming. There is no doubt that Li Zhunyi's strength not only stands out from the crowd, but even if he goes to the big stage to perform professionally, he is not inferior, which undoubtedly makes the trainees' understanding of the "Yi family" a little higher.

When Li Zhunyi was concentrating on recording the three episodes, there were two rounds of interviews for the selection of trainees, the first round was a simple talent interview, as long as there was a skill, even if he was not good at being distinctive, a group of people were screened first; the second round of interviews was mainly to test the mentality of each trainee. These veteran employees of the "Yi family" are all watching Li Zhunyi come all the way, Li Zhunyi's name of desperate Saburo is not fake, even if he has achieved such excellent results now, but he has never relaxed on himself. In addition, trainees need to train hard and wait patiently, so Li Zhunyi believes that he would rather choose some perseverance and hard work seedlings than be blinded by the other party's talent.

There are talented people in the entertainment industry, but there are only a handful of people who are not really successful. Therefore, it is more important to work hard than to be talented. Of course, this is not to say that talent is not important, and both talent and perseverance are naturally the best choice.

So the second round of interviews is a small special training, and the ten-day interview was specially planned by Lee Joon-yi during the holidays. The first seven days are just physical training, boring physical training, there are no other courses, can persevere, but will not be impatient, only stay; the last three days are specialized training, singing, acting, dancing by the trainees to choose, but after the end of the three days, did not complete the course assigned by the teacher on time, and improved, naturally also eliminated. So many people who originally wanted to be greedy and chose to sing were destined to suffer.

During the entire interview process, Lee Joon-yi was recording intently and did not pay much attention. It's just that in the last three days of the second round of interviews, I participated in the selection. After all, in the three aspects of singing, acting and dancing, Lee Joon-yi is an undisputed leader.

When I came to the conference room on the second floor, most of the people in the company were sitting there watching the video of the monitor, and because they were too serious, no one noticed the appearance of Lee Joon-yi.

There are three underground practice rooms, the largest one is occupied by people who choose to dance, and the trainees here are also the most, there are about 100 of them, Yang Zhenzai is training them in basic skills; the other two small ones are naturally the practice rooms for singing and acting, there are relatively more people singing, there are more than 60 or so, and the number of people who are acting is much less, only more than 40 people.

Li Zhunyi looked at the neat small grids on the table, there were six grids in total, and the documents in each grid were neatly classified. Look at the names on the grids, every two grids are one, and the names of "singing", "acting" and "dancing" are impressively written. There are two squares under each item, the left grid is an evaluation of a good and bright person, and the right box is a suggestion for a poor performer.

This is the comment method discussed by Lin Xiyuan, Hong Chengxian and others. Every day, the trainees would participate in different classes in the practice room, which lasted for several hours, and there was no way for everyone to do the selection here all day, so they came up with a method similar to democratic voting. Everyone in the company, including Liu Xizhen and Lin Xiyuan, who are non-professional teachers, took the time to watch the practice tapes in the practice room, and then wrote down their comments in detail, whether they praised or criticized, and finally signed their own signatures to make the evaluation effective.

In the end, those who receive more praise will naturally be selected directly, those who criticize more will be eliminated, and those who are less visible in the middle, all the professional teachers will gather again for a second discussion to ensure that no one is missed.

This method is obviously very good, and Li Zhunyi also nodded.

Lee Joon-yi also sat down, and at this time it was Yang Zhenzai who was in class on the screen, and it was naturally the dance volunteers who were training. Lee Joon-yi, Yang Zhen-jae did not train too difficult movements, but just trained some basic skills. It's easy to see impatience on some people's faces, but these basic skills are not difficult, and many people who have undergone professional training have practiced them, and can even be said to be good at them. But don't underestimate these basic skills, Li Zhun Yi will still carry out basic skills training when he has time, only when the basic skills are solid, the difficult actions on the song celebration that day can be easily achieved, and Li Zhun Yi will never ignore the training of basic skills. At this time, those who showed impatience on their faces were naturally not the people Li Zhunyi was looking for.

In this group of trainees, Li Zhunyi actually saw several acquaintances, Li Qiguang and Sun Dongyun were among them, which made Li Zhunyi quite surprised, since the end of the "king" propaganda, Li Qiguang and Sun Dongyun, the two "dancers", have disappeared, according to Li Zhunyi's thoughts, the two must have returned to JYP to continue to be trainees, after all, Yang Zhenzai said that both of them left JYP temporarily for some reason. Unexpectedly, I saw two people come to interview the trainees of the "Yi family".

Li Zhunyi took a closer look, Li Qiguang is indeed very talented and hardworking, if he is willing, there is no problem in becoming a trainee of the "Yi family". And Sun Dongyun is still slightly inferior in talent, his shortcomings are the same as Gu Hara's, they are all lack of strength, tall and thin people don't have too many muscles, and the lack of strength makes him show a gap in the expressiveness of dance. However, Sun Dongyun is also working hard, and Li Zhunyi still has a very good impression of him.

If dancing is practicing basic skills, then singing not only tests their singing skills, but also pays great attention to their sensitivity to rhythm and melody, which is also the basic skill of becoming a good singer.

Li Zhunyi observed for a while, wrote down his opinions, and had a rough idea in his heart. The quality of the trainees this time is still uneven, and it is also expected. Therefore, Li Zhunyi plans to recruit not too many trainees this time, ten or twenty is the established goal, and the focus is to value their future prospects.

Li Zhunyi took a closer look, although he didn't predict everyone's future, but with his intuition, he selected several good candidates, and after secretly writing down these people, Li Zhunyi handed over a list of five people to Lin Xiyuan, asking him to pay attention to these people. If these people have a good willpower in practice, even if they are not too brilliant at the moment, they will stay.

After two rounds of fourteen-day interviews, less than ten people were left in the end, which shows that the elimination rate of this interview is amazing, almost one out of one hundred and fifty people is selected, and this probability is the most qualified trainee in Li Zhunyi's heart.

In fact, many people were brushed off in those seven days of boring physical training, if it is said that after becoming a trainee, physical training is naturally indispensable, but in the interview, seven consecutive days of physical training, this is still unprecedented, which also makes many people fall behind here, as Li Zhunyi expected, in the next few days, some people will not even appear directly, can only be regarded as abstention.

In addition, there are also many people who are dissatisfied with the interview method of the "Yi family", feeling that their "peerless talent" has not been waved, but they just waste time on basic skills, and then they are eliminated. After the interview, they also expressed their disdain for the "Yi family", feeling that the "Yi family" is still weak after all, and there is no way to become a big tool.

However, Lee Joon-yi didn't mind at all, and was very satisfied with the people selected.
