Chapter Seventy-Three: Meeting (Part II)

Quan Baolan, grandfather Huang Hai - actor, grandmother Bai Xueji - singer, father Quan Yonglu - singer, mother Li Meiying - actor.

Simple family information, expanding out of the world, can have an impact that can affect a person's lifelong choices.

When she was very young, she followed her father or mother in and out of this glamorously packaged circle, and she took it for granted that she watched her father stand on the stage where the lights gathered, enjoying the cheers, and also watched her mother shuttle in and out of the play, which of course subtly existed by her side for 20 years, so when she became an adult, she naturally chose the same profession.

Sometimes when I fall into philosophical thinking, I can't help but wonder if I chose to major in drama without hesitation when I was admitted to university, because I loved it in the first place, or did it subtly affect my judgment?

This kind of question is obviously unanswered, people are not born to know, all wisdom, knowledge, and thinking are all acquired environmental influences, when she is used to the entertainment industry, then make the choice to integrate into it, it is difficult to tell whether the choice is a hobby, or subconsciously forced to make a living - compared to other majors after graduation, to face a competitive environment where there are many graduate students like dogs and doctoral students walking all over the place, the network resources provided by the family will obviously provide her with a better starting point.

Thinking about such things is not intrinsically utilitarian, but in your 20s, you must learn to understand.

The only reason why this choice can be regarded as purely out of her hobby is that she refused her father's help to find a brokerage company, and has been waiting for J.H to start the trainee system!

In fact, Dad has always been reluctant to approve of her coming to J.H. At that time, J.H's uncertain future was one of the reasons, and on the other hand, it was also because of her admiration for Ahn Jun Hyuk, no matter what industry, the old slippery head who had been rolling for decades understood that any sign of inseparability between public and private was a taboo.

However, since Yoon Mi-rae and Bigbang were single-handedly crowned by Ahn Joon-hyuk, her father's opposition has died down.

"Probably the uncle did what he couldn't do in his life, so he didn't have the confidence. "Last year, I was controlled by my father, and I was so annoyed that I couldn't do it, and I thought a little badly. So he quickly threw himself away and stepped into the door. The many emotions that suddenly rose up, and the mood became happy.

The overall plan of the J.H headquarters building is "L" shaped, surrounded by a wall, and the gate is located at the bottom of the "L" where the "_" Building No. 1 is located. Building 3 is located in the "| Top. Never came in though. However, because J.H does not prohibit shooting, the layout of the exterior building is actually known to most fans for a long time.

The gloomy sky was still snowing, and the air was not a little warmer because the wind had disappeared. It was still bitterly cold, and the sound of creaking and creaking on the snow gushed with the cold air, but behind the huge glass door of Building 3, it was like another world.

The huge and vast hall on the first floor has long since disappeared from the desertion when seen outside, and about hundreds of people gathered in this space, crowded, pushing the door open, and the sound roared.

"Please take your number plate, and if you don't get it, come to me with your identity card to collect it, be careful not to lose it, or leave the hall, and when you hear the radio number, please follow the prompts to find the venue by yourself......"

“…… Those who participated in the primary selection came here to fill in the form, please pay attention to fill in the real information, so that the company can contact ......"

"Prepare on the 16th, prepare on the 16th, please go to the dance studio 5 and wait for the interview!...... on the 16th"

Buzz buzz

The voices of the people were boiling, and after a few temporary long tables in the hall, the shouts and reminders of the staff, the sound of the broadcast, and the discussions of the people participating in the selection, all kinds of noise hit the ears, and Baolan was a little dazed for a while.

In a daze, a small-looking girl ran past a short distance in front of her with an impatient expression, and another girl followed her slowly, still grabbing snacks and stuffing them into her mouth.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's the 16th, and it's coming to you soon...... Don't eat it!"

"But I'm hungry!"

"When are you not hungry, hurry up and get ready, if you can pass today, I will invite you to eat barbecue." ”

"Ah, really?"

The girl who was only about 13 years old left behind, immediately put away the snacks when she heard the words, and she didn't know whether Lu Dao was holding back saliva or what, so she made a snorting sound in her mouth and shook her head and followed.

At the same time, in the sound of the radio repeated for the third time, a boy in the distance, who had probably just returned from the bathroom, hurriedly went to the staff to ask where the No. 5 dance studio was, and as he went upstairs to leave, many people who were probably close to the number, just like the two girls just now, acted nervously or expectantly, and were always ready.

People come and go in the whole space, everything is running in an orderly manner, the warm but not chaotic atmosphere, people are in it, and immediately quietly breed some inexplicable emotions, if people can clearly grasp all their thoughts, they will probably be sure, that kind of emotion is called - yearning!

Call!

Baolan exhaled lightly, and the mood that was originally a little impetuous quietly precipitated like this.

In a moment, like those who had been waiting for a long time, she took the ID card and threw herself into the intense preparation before the interview.

……

……

The start of the trainee system has been brewing since Ahn Jun-hyuk returned to China a year ago, and it took 2 or 3 months to prepare. It's just that for the young J.H company, this kind of thing is the first time after all, and its nature is different from the business promotion activities, after all, it is to reserve talents for the future of the company, so the entire J.H company on this day, almost poured out of the nest, all the administrative power to make way for the selection, everyone is busy with their feet on the ground.

This includes J.H Music, which was not involved in the brokerage business.

Kwon Bo-geun, who has worked for SM and participated in many SM selection contest organization activities, took over the title of chief planner as the only leader in the entire small group who is familiar with this kind of thing.

When the activities of Building 3 are in full swing, but in an orderly manner. The leading group headed by Kwon Bo-gen was also busy.

"Inform the No. 1 dance studio that everyone who goes to them is a predetermined double selection, but because of this, I have to be strict and comprehensively examine their conditions. ”

"What's going on in Dance Room 3? The radio didn't respond, so I asked the equipment class to send someone over to take a look. ”

"Huh, what do you think of this girl?"

"I'll take a look at Studio 2...... Well, the type with delicate facial features and immature and cute appearance, the conditions are good, what about the information?"

"Here it is. Born in 1986. Knowing that the university is currently studying, I really can't see the appearance, and the primary selection is still missing...... Send the remaining items of this girl to the No. 1 dance studio, and the order will be raised to the internal assessment. What do you think?"

"Yes. ”

"No problem!"

"That's it...... Notice to Dance Studio 2. Subject to resolution!"

Small conference room. The physical teachers, recruited by Kwon Baogen or later gradually poached from other companies, looked at the surveillance footage one by one, and then based on the on-site performance, mainly the physical performance. to decide whether the young people who passed the first primary election should be promoted by one place, or keep watching, or brush off.

After all, the first primary election was mostly through the Internet, the amount of audits was huge, and there were people who cheated, which all need to be solved immediately.

Wait until some are kept, some are eliminated, and the rest can participate in the second selection, and then it is not just the appearance that needs to be considered. Ahn Jun-hyuk has very high requirements for the first selection, and he clearly instructed him to require the company's first batch of trainees to be qualified to be packaged by the company for their debut, which invisibly increases the difficulty.

It was still snowing outside, but Kwon Bo Gen was so busy that he was sweating profusely, and the tie that was originally tied up was torn open, and he poured down one glass of water after another, as if he couldn't extinguish the fire, this state lasted almost a whole day, and of course the selection work was also busy all day, although now J.H Company is a little short of funds because of the preparation for the acquisition of Gmarket, but Ahn Jun Hyuk did not siphon off the liquidity of J.H Entertainment and J.H Music, so it can still be regarded as wealthy.

The financial report for the end of 2006 was put on the board of directors on the 25th of last month, and the success of Yoon Mi-rae and Bigbang generated nearly 15 billion won in sales for J.H in November and December alone.

According to the forecast of the Ministry of Finance, according to this trend, in the middle or end of the year, another album will be released for Baek Ji-young, Yoon Mi-rae, and Bigbang, and the ban will be lifted by the company's chairman Ahn Joon-hyuk, then J.H Music alone may create at least 50 billion won in fiscal year 2007, officially replacing SM, DSP, JYP and other companies as the most profitable gold-absorbing monster in the music industry.

With such a bright future in sight, J.H certainly won't skimp on a lunch of selecting contestants, and now is the time to attract talent, even if it doesn't matter if you spend a lot of money, and if this little generosity can improve J.H's impression in the eyes of many young people in the outside world, the money is well spent. So on January 1, Building 3 has not opened a canteen since it was opened, and it finally welcomed its first customers on this day.

In order to commemorate this day, Li Cailin and Pu Chun, who were supposed to rest today, also came to the cafeteria for lunch.

Li Cailin, who has been practicing for a year and has never seen such a lively time, walked into the cafeteria with Pu Chun, and was immediately stunned by the noisy scene of full seats and black oppression: "There are so many people, there should be more than 100 people...... It was just the two of us yesterday, so it was like a dream!"

Pu Chun, who has also become accustomed to being deserted recently, nodded sympathetically.

However, the two of them soon became happy, and only the two of them used the usually huge Building 3, even if they didn't mention Lee Chae-rim, only from Park Chun's point of view, after the initial freshness and the comfort brought by the large amount of disposable space that contrasted strongly with YG, the only thing left was loneliness.

There is no one to communicate with, and I don't know what to do except practice every day, in Pu Chun's words, it is simply not the life that people should live.

Thinking that there would finally be enough peers to communicate and play in the future, and they were all juniors, the two happily went to dinner, found a seat at random, sat down and ate, and watched with great interest.

This look shows some doorways.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the whole canteen seems to be faintly divided into two parts, one of them has the largest number of people, almost occupying the outer area near the entrance of the canteen, and this part of the people is also the least talkative, except for three or two who seem to know each other, most of them use their own lunches and basically don't talk to others. The other group was much smaller, about 20 or so, mostly girls, sitting in the center of the cafeteria, closer to the window where the food was being served, and more closely spaced from each other, eating while whispering to each other.

Li Cailin had never practiced with others, so she didn't understand this situation very well, and after watching it for a while, she asked Pu Chun curiously, "Sister, what's going on?"

"I don't know what to do. Park Chun shook her head, in fact, her situation was not much better, and when YG trainees were at most, there were only about 10 people.

The two were wondering, and a girl next to them who was holding a plate and passing by their dining table seemed to hear their words, and leaned over and smiled: "I know what's going on, those on the periphery have just participated in the second primary election, or were brushed off before the second election, and those who sit in the middle have almost all been confirmed to participate in the second election, and the reason why they sit like this is probably because they don't have a common language!"

Smiling, the girl stretched out her hand to Li Cailin and Pu Chun, who were a little stunned: "Meet me, my name is Quan Baolan, hehe, and I am also one of the people who should sit in the middle." ”

The two were stunned for a moment, perhaps because the days of closure had reduced their sensitivity, but it took a while to react, and they shook hands with her one by one: "Hello, my name is Li Cailin (Pu Chun)." ”

After shaking hands, Quan Baolan sat down next to the two of them very familiarly, while pulling the food on the plate, while sighing: "Before coming, everyone didn't know that the elimination rate of Ludao was so high, more than 100 people, only more than 20 could participate in the re-election, and finally I didn't know how many people were able to sign the contract, because of such a high elimination rate, so everyone unconsciously divided the group...... There's no way around it, those people on the periphery, I'm afraid it's the first time they've met today, and it's also the last time they've met. ”

Hearing this, Li Cailin, who is relatively accustomed to independent life and has a relatively stable personality, was silent, and Pu Chun, who was thinking about it, stared at him: "100...... 20…… Wow, it's only a fifth?"

Quan Baolan shrugged: "Yes, one in five, I heard that it is because in the first batch, many of them are selected by J.H from the ULzzang list and some online beauty pageants, otherwise, I'm afraid these more than 20 people can't get together......"

"Internal?" Pu Chun, who likes gossip the most, immediately became interested, "How do you know Lu Dao?

"Well, I'm not! but one of my classmates...... Now, that's it. With that, Quan Baolan got up and beckoned to a girl with short hair who had just walked into the cafeteria, motioning for the other party to come here, and then sat down and continued: "...... Her name is Xian Enjing, and she is a classmate of mine, and she scared me when she met her before. I heard from her that J.H had contacted her in November last year, and this time she was directly invited and reimbursed for the travel expenses...... Tsk, I'm so envious!" (To be continued......)
