Chapter 81: Looking Ahead

Under the training of his teacher Lee Seon-hee, Cheon Myung-hoon has definitely heard a lot of songs. But at that time, his focus was on the human voice, and those accumulations could not be counted.

So what he has to do now is to listen to each song again from the perspective of arrangement.

It's a long process with no definite end point. It may take a lifetime to make it a habit and experience it.

After washing his hands, Cheon Myung-hoon went into the bedroom and sat on the bed to operate his laptop. Fortunately, the Melon music website is developing very well, and almost all songs can be searched now.

Liu Xianxin pushed open the half-hidden door and walked in: "What kind of song are you listening to...... Who sang it?"

Yoo Hyun-shin didn't know much about music, but after becoming an agent, he studied it in a spirit of dedication. Although he has no attainments, he still has basic taste. Cheon Myung-hoon's patience with the quality of the song is very low, and if he is not satisfied, he may listen to the intro and cut it off. So what he can listen to in its entirety are almost all classic songs from the past or in the future.

He felt that this song was very ordinary, and Qian Mingxun was listening to it very seriously, and some parts even pulled the progress bar again and again.

It's strange, is there anything special? Liu Xianxin couldn't help but be curious.

"I listened to the arrangement. This was recommended to me by someone else, saying that it is more representative in the arrangement of the texture space......"

Qian Mingxun pulled a few professional terms, and realized that Liu Xianxin couldn't understand: "It's quite distinctive, as an example, refer to it." ”

Liu Xianxin nodded and put a driver's license on the table: "Even if you don't drive, keep it first, you can always use it later." ”

"Good. ”

Qian Mingxun opened it and looked at it briefly for a while, then raised his hand and put it on the simple bookshelf against the wall.

In addition to the beds and sofas, the furniture in the dormitory is relatively expensive, and the tables, chairs, and cabinets are relatively simple and lightweight. In this way, Qian Mingxun himself can be a little more casual and don't have to take care of it carefully.

Seeing that Yoo Hyun-shin had no intention of leaving, Cheon Myung-hoon seemed to have something to say. So I turned off the music.

Liu Xianxin also immediately spoke: "Hmm...... You're okay today, are you?"

Qian Mingxun thought for a moment before replying, "There are a lot of things...... But it doesn't have to be today. That's right...... I need to get to the office as soon as possible!"

Liu Xianxin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, I originally wanted to say that I would go to the company with me later." Kim Jong-ideal will finalize a specific plan for your return. ”

"Okay, I happened to have something to talk to him about. ”

Qian Mingxun had no results in his morning exercise today, and planned to find an indoor gym and a heated swimming pool to swim. This is the advice given to him by his teacher, Li Xianji, to exercise his lung capacity. Don't slack off in winter, you must ensure enough exercise!

Then there is the issue of the practice room where training is resumed. Cheon Myung-hoon is not just a pure singer, he also has amazing dancing ability. And his age is destined to step into the field of dance music, and it is impossible to focus on lyricism for decades.

Cheon Myung-hoon used to be a top trainee!

But Loen is not a planning company, and it still wasn't. Loen's core business is the production and distribution of records. The artist management department is only a small part, which is almost equivalent to existing in name only. Because there are no own singers who can operate at all.

At best, it is a record company, contracting the album production of certain singers. It looks like it's operating, but it's actually just a business relationship. There is currently only one self-owned singer who has been in charge of management since his debut, and that is Younha.

(I didn't dig deep before IU, and I didn't deal with it if I did.) Because anyway, I won't appear without a scene, and how embarrassing it would be if an artist from the same company suddenly appeared in the future. )

And that girl is still bent on occupying RB, and has never been active in the country. Although it has done a good job, it is only known for the more closely related RB firm. Very few people know about the Korean affiliate Loen.

As for the wonder of Cheon Myung-hoon, it's hard to say who manages him or Loen. At most, it can only be counted as half.

That's the case in the Loen artist department, and it's clear at a glance. Although the back is against the SK, it is easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree. Abundant funds and abundant resources. However, Leon does not have the idea of establishing a complete artist training system, and does not plan to transform into a star-making factory like S.M.

It's not something that can be built with money alone. This matter is too troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. And if you compare it, it will feel a little unworthy.

Although S.M is the largest planning company in the industry, the market capitalization and turnover of loen are many times that of the former. The two sides are completely incomparable.

The album release of the artists under the planning company is through a record company such as Loen. Therefore, the planning company is like an assembly line of Loen, and Loen is the supplier that the planning company relies on to survive.

For now, the two are not of the same magnitude. If it weren't for the politics behind it, loen's acquisition of S.M would have been a no-brainer. So with the blessing of such unequal capital, it is reasonable that Loen has no interest in cultivating artists by himself.

The way the local tyrants behave is to buy, buy, buy. If it's just for window dressing, wouldn't it be better to buy a ready-made economic company directly?

So to this day, Loen still only has recording studios everywhere, but not a decent dance practice studio.

This made Qian Mingxun very speechless.

Loen's headquarters building is very tall, and the office space doesn't need as many floors. There is a large area that is unused.

However, the nature of the local tyrant does not make full use of this statement, so what's wrong with leaving it idle if I don't need it? Anyway, I don't rent out the office room, can you manage it? My big Loen's sign is bright, and it's so troublesome to live in a messy small company.

Cheon Myung-hoon also knew about the situation, and he planned to talk to Kim Jong-ri about it. As the director of artist operations, you have to fight for greater rights. How can you live like a salted fish?

Loen is not short of money and land, so hurry up and apply to the top to build a practice room! If the senior management doesn't instruct you, can't you take the initiative? Ask a few teachers to take a few trainees to train them, if there is really potential, the company can still not let you debut?

Even if you can't harvest any good seedlings, you have to collect them. Otherwise, what if IU comes to the interview? Tell her that we don't accept trainees, can you go?

IU started participating in the draft in about '06, so Loen had to act quickly. Qian Mingxun can't move a small bench every day and squat at the door of the company to wait for the rabbit. In case the kung fu of going to the toilet misses her, it is estimated that she has the heart to hit people.

Okay, take a step back. Even if it's not for IU, you have to get yourself a serious place to practice dancing. Qian Mingxun has not been active for a long time, and he has long been uncomfortable. You can't just just find a big road and start jumping. After all, it was a supernova, so it would be too cheap.

What's more, with Qian Mingxun here, what is there to be afraid of?

————

Kim Jong-ri was planning to show his strength, and Cheon Myung-hoon was ready to return, and his interest was already at its peak. Of course, he was tempted by Cheon Myung-hoon's proposal, and Kim Jong-ri didn't think about it. It's just that he is still an employee at heart, and he still has a lot of concerns about doing many things.

The construction of the dance practice room began immediately, and if he looked into it, he would be a bit derelict in his duties. He had read Qian Myungxun's information many times, and this matter should have been thought of a long time ago. Born in S.M's top trainee, he has super dancing ability.

It's just that after apprenticeship with national singer Li Xianji, Qian Mingxun devoted himself to studying singing skills. The debut is also a lyrical song, and the ability to dance is covered up.

As for the "private operation" of recruiting trainees, there is still time to plan. Towards the end of the year, it is estimated that there will be no students. It will be possible to start in January 06, just in time for the winter break, the annual graduation season.

Seeing Kim Jong-ri's eyes glowing in response, Cheon Myung-hoon's mood was also much more relaxed. agreed so happily that Qian Mingxun almost said his other plan:

How about building a gym and a swimming pool together?

This project is indeed a bit controversial, so let's wait for Qian Mingyue to return to China next month, and then talk to my sister......

Qian Mingyue returned to China after graduating from university, so she naturally wanted to find something to do and apply the theories she had learned. It's a bit difficult to operate loen directly, although it's a music business field. But after all, it also has the name of the first in the industry. In contrast, it is more appropriate to run the artist part of Loen.

In the past, Loen didn't have artists with pure blood, so it was enough to set up a department to handle the albums of other artists. But this is not the case.

Once Chi Myung-hoon officially returns, he will have to build a complete planning company framework to run him. And Younha will also follow after Cheon Myung-hoon and officially make his debut in China.

Younha's achievements at RB are obvious to all, and although he has not been active in the country once, the media coverage has never stopped. After all, this kind of deeds of winning glory for the country is always the most worthy of bragging about the topic. In the 05 years of Cheon Myung-hoon's blank year, Younha was already ahead of the curve.

Just look at BoA's momentum in China. With "NO.1", a platinum album with RB sales of 1.29 million, she won the highest bounty record in RB's music industry. This kind of honor is added, even if South Korea is ruled by Lee Hyo-ri, RAIN, and Kim Jong-kook, who is about to become a god.

The media still refers to BoA as the Star of Asia.

With two potential newcomers thrown out like a bombshell, the name of the LOEN artist field will be launched at once. The next thing is busy, and it is not something that Kim Jong-ri can control by sitting alone in the office now.

Loen's artist department will inevitably become independent and become a subsidiary of Loen in a complete form. This is the inevitable trend of the times, and the proposal has been approved by the top management of Loen. The name has also been decided, it is called Loen tree. It is hoped that with two supernovae as the main trunk, it will quickly develop into a towering tree.

Qian Mingyue will become an executive director at that time, and Kim Jong-ri will still be his artist director. But there was a lot more freedom back then than there is now. The subsidiary will also move to a separate floor and will no longer occupy an office room in the form of a department.

It is precisely for this reason that Kim Jong-ri will immediately agree to Cheon Myung-hoon's proposal. A practice room was built immediately, and plans were made to recruit trainees.

When I think about it, I think the future is very good.
