Chapter 32: New Year, Snow (I) 2/2
The assessment went smoothly, and under the observation of a bunch of ministers and professionals, Li Cailin showed her talent without the slightest timidity.
In fact, her dancing is not bad, but Rap is just average, but no matter what flaws she has, these two aspects cannot hide one of her most important advantages - steady typhoon, strong appeal!
Dance skills can make up for it, Rap lacks strength to learn, but some talents can't be learned.
Kwon Bo-geun said that if Yang Hyun-seok knew that he had missed such a trainee, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Whether Yang Hyun-seok will vomit blood in the future, Ahn Jun-hyuk doesn't know, but after Li Cailin's incident, he accidentally discovered a small treasure. It is now the end of 2005, and the future is gradually fading away from people's field of vision, and it is still beautiful, and the future is still unknown!
The memory of the dream world can't control everything, at that time, he was not fanatical about celebrities, at most he listened to songs, watched movies, and all the "foreknowledge" about the entertainment industry came from the news, and the news naturally couldn't be in every detail, even if he knew which groups would be popular in the future, he couldn't find them in the vast sea of people now, or rather, there was no way to sign them under him, so the main goal of this collaboration with YG was to catch Bigbang and try to get a piece of the pie, and he had no idea of playing 2ne1 at all.
But a chance encounter with Li Cailin made him realize that his previous ideas were a little wrong.
Yes, many young artists who will become famous in the future are indeed unknown now. Either they have become the backbone of the trainees of various brokerage companies, the former is difficult to find in the vast sea of people, and the latter is difficult to sign, even if they can be pocketed, the price paid may not be proportional to the harvest - everyone is not stupid, the trainee with the potential to make his debut is a treasure in every company, if it is not like YG's special situation this time, he doesn't want to meddle at all!
However, despite all these difficulties. But that doesn't mean you can't really make a difference.
There are always some people. At this time, he did not show great potential, and he had already entered the field of vision of some brokerage companies, as long as he could find those people...... In the future, the development of J.H will be smoother!
Step 1. Let's start with J.H's close friend YG!
So the next day. Ahn Joon-hyuk took the last day of his vacation. He went to YG again, and after chatting with Yang Hyun-seok for a while, he wanted to see the quality of YG's trainees. Looking for Yang Hyun Suk, I want to ask for the trainee videos saved inside YG, including unofficial trainees!
Yang Hyun-seok didn't consider the possibility of being poached by J.H for his request, but the contract for the official trainee was already in the hands of YG, and it didn't mean that he could dig it, and it didn't matter if he was poached unofficially, so he was very cooperative!
"Of course, no problem, by the way, I will also give you a copy of the information...... Hahaha, now that we are all a family, what are you doing with such politeness, I also hope that you can discover some potential newcomers from these trainees, so that it will be convenient for our two companies to engage in some exchange activities and compete peacefully in the future!"
A few years later, he will probably give himself a few slaps for his "generosity" today!
With his generosity, Ahn Joon-hyuk openly searched for YG's trainee information, and then found two other members of 2ne1, one of whom was already a full-fledged trainee with a contract, named Park Chun, a girl who was 2 years older than him and looked a little fat. The other is called Park Sandora, to Ahn Junhyuk's delight, although this Park Sandora has practiced in YG, she has not signed a contract yet, because she has now debuted in the Philippines, and her acting contract has been bound to the contracted TV station over there, and she can only come back when the contract expires after 2 years!
Of the two girls, Park Chun can't do it for the time being, although she is not a key trainee within YG, but if he asks her, it will be strange that Yang Hyun Suk's old fox will let her go easily, unless he finds a suitable opportunity in the future to force YG to give her up automatically.
As for Prima Dora...... After finding her information, Ahn Junhyuk immediately instructed the publicity and public relations department to contact her in the Philippines and her guardian.
YG's reputation may have an advantage, but YG won't pay much attention to a trainee who can't sign a contract, so J.H. has room to maneuver.
Of course, that's still far from that.
Whether it's Park Chun, Park Shan Dora, or the last member who hasn't entered YG's vision at all, they have nothing to do with J.H now, and the only one who has a relationship is the first and only trainee signed by the company, Lee Chae-rim!
At the interview scene, she used her strong aura to conquer the original careless senior management of the company, and then signed her decision, naturally no one will have any resistance, on the same day, An Junhyuk found the company's legal counsel, drafted a contract, and faxed it to Li Cailin's parents who were far away abroad-
Speaking of this, when I first learned about Li Cailin's family background, Ahn Junhyuk, Kwon Bo-geun and others were surprised for a long time.
No way, her entire family's resume is too rich, her father is physicist Lee Ki-jin, her grandfather is the presidential Award winner physicist Lee Byung-hyuk, Ahn Jun-hyuk also saw him on the news two years ago, this old professor who is not old-hearted, retired and lived in seclusion in his "Neverland" (Majin), trying to make an ocean-going ship by hand, which caused a great sensation in society at that time.
My aunt Hong Baoluo is the owner of Gallery.Factory, a lady with a long-standing reputation in the art world, and another aunt, Hong Jinying, who broke the national bar exam last year and is currently working as a judge at the Seoul District Court. Uncle Grandpa Hong Longyu is the second largest shareholder of Yuxing Shipping Co., Ltd., An Junhe paid attention to finance and economics a while ago, and also saw media analysis that the founder and chairman of Yuxing Shipping, Che Xiuxiong, has been sick in recent years and intends to retire.
The family's connections span politics, art, academia, and business. The network of relationships is really broad, but after a short period of surprise, Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't pay attention to it anymore.
On the one hand, he has enough confidence, on the other hand, no matter how prominent the background of his relatives is, it has little to do with Li Cailin herself, he neither thought about squeezing her, nor was he ready to exploit her, so he could naturally ignore the pressure brought by that family.
Li Cailin's parents don't seem to want to use the family to interfere in their daughter's future. Therefore, Ahn Joon-hyuk's identity is confirmed. and J.H's true strength, the two rushed back to South Korea to sign a trainee contract on behalf of their daughter as guardians, at least for the next 5 years. Lee Chae-rim will become J.H.'s possession!
For this chief trainee of J.H. Company. Ahn Joon-hyuk rented the basement floor, which is currently vacant. And hired a construction company to transform it into a few simple practice rooms, ready to allocate it to her to practice.
However, it will take some time for the project to be completed. Fortunately, Li Cailin also has to go back to Paris, finish her studies there, and go through a series of procedures to return to China, so she is not in a hurry.
Regarding JYP, on the day he went to YG to look through the trainee information, Ahn Jun-hyuk also heard specific news from Yang Hyun-suk, as he guessed, JYP's recent changes are indeed suffering from a hostile takeover by foreign funds, and the company that acquired it is also Changhe Real Estate!
Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't know when Lu Daochang and Real Estate had a relationship with the alliance formed by the Yixin faction and the Southern Dong faction, or if the two were originally closely linked, but it was only then that it was revealed...... These are all details, and there is only one thing he cares about: Changhe Real Estate seems to be determined to get involved in the entertainment industry!
This news is undoubtedly very heavy for him, as well as for J.H, who is still in his infancy! Changhe Real Estate is not inferior to him in terms of means, funds, and some dark forces, and at first glance, he seems to have no advantage in the face of the other party.
Considering the direction of the overall situation, he has insight into Changhe's intentions, and at this time he should abandon his previous suspicions and use funds to help JYP fight against the crushing of Changhe Real Estate, the advantage of this is that in the future in the music industry, there is still a strong company, and SM will be in front of the front, directly respond to the pressure from the outside world, so that J.H can develop calmly.
But compared to the benefits, the disadvantages are too obvious.
First of all, whether JYP will accept his help or not, even if he does, I am afraid that at the critical moment, he will have to guard against being stabbed by the emotional Park Jin-young backhand.
Moreover, he has already foiled the strategic arrangement of Changhe Real Estate once, and the other party probably found that he was prickly and not easy to speak, so he did not initiate an action against him, but it does not mean that he will tolerate similar things again.
The nascent J.H has not yet formed a strong interest relationship with other institutions and industries in the entertainment industry, if Changhe Real Estate is forced to break the boat, as long as it is willing to pay the price, the shallow-based J.H can be easily blocked by those TV stations and broadcast media, even if he can rely on the power of banknotes to break the deadlock of the blockade, but his future development will also be passive, and even his most fundamental financial industry will have to break his bones.
That would be more than worth the loss.
At present, I can only watch JYP retreat step by step and gradually sink under the siege of Changhe and a series of means, and the only effort that can be made is to reveal the matter of JYP to SM, arouse SM's vigilance, and then develop J.H as soon as possible, at least to ensure that J.H has enough strength to face in the future!
This incident gave Ahn Jun-hyuk a sense of urgency, forcing him to return to the crew immediately after dealing with Li Cailin's joining the company, continue to focus on filming "The King's Man", strive to make the film finish as soon as possible, and start arranging the release.
Time is in such a hurry, through November, through December, light snow has passed, heavy snow, winter solstice has also passed, 2005 has become the past, the New Year's bell rings in a dry cold, major TV stations in order to celebrate the arrival of 2006, held a series of festive song programs, many artists who have been empty for a long time, have taken this opportunity to appear in front of the camera, every day there are strange or familiar faces, occupy the day's TV and news.
J.H and Ahn Jun-hyuk, who used to attract much attention, seem to have been forgotten in the corner, and the crew is not interested in it.
In January 2006, one day at the beginning of the month, in the Suwon Hwaseong Palace, a crew of hundreds of people gathered in front of a palace, busy for the camera to shoot the camera, in the center, Ahn Junhyuk, dressed in a red costume, suddenly stopped after saying a line.
Li Junyi, who was watching carefully in front of the monitor, looked up suspiciously, and then he found that in mid-air, at some point, a snowflake fell leisurely, and it landed on Ahn Junhyuk's gorgeous costume, silver-white, pure, and not mixed with a trace of variegation!
Heads up, higher in the sky, under the lead clouds, goose feathers of snow falling...... (To be continued......)
