Chapter 412: Accepting Disciples

The Korean music scene is very strange, it seems that solo singers and team groups can never coexist, there is always a strong side and a disadvantage, and the so-called east wind suppresses the west wind in the Korean music scene, otherwise it is a good show of the west wind and the east wind.

Before 95 years, the Korean music scene was rampant with solo singers, and there was no market for almost squeezed team groups, and even the Korean music scene at that time seemed to have no idea of team combinations.

And after 95 years, the glory of the team group finally arrived, and finally began to counterattack and turn around, and began to frantically suppress the solo singer market, making there fewer and fewer solo singers, and the low competitiveness made the agency no longer pay attention to the cultivation of solo singers, which can be regarded as letting the team group dominate the Korean music scene.

However, whether it is the heyday of solo or the heyday of the team, there will always be a few demons who will be born out of nowhere, ignoring the mainstream of the music scene at that time, and on the contrary, they will make a sound and colorful, and they are not even worse than the general trend at that time.

If it is said that in the era of solo singers in 95, there was almost no market for team combinations, but three demonic characters were born out of thin air, forming a combination of Seo Taezhi and the children, which instantly dominated the Korean music scene, and was not worse than the top solo singers at that time.

Perhaps it is because of the birth of the super combination of Xu Taizhi and the children, so that many juniors can see the dawn of the team combination, so after 95 years, the emergence of the Cool Dragon and Turbo combination began to try to explore the future of the team combination.

In the end, the birth of HOT, coupled with the first generation of top ten groups that sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, completely announced the arrival of the glorious period of the team group, and began to suppress the space for solo singers.

And when the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, when the team group almost dominated the Korean music scene. Some demonic people have appeared one after another, continuing to adhere to the solo singer route, and in the era of rampant team combinations, they continue to be arrogant and persistent, and some demon solo singers, their momentum is no worse than that of team groups.

Especially after 2000. When solo singers have almost completely lost their dominance and competitiveness, some demonic solo singers continue to adhere to the pride and honor of solo singers, continue to work hard in the music world, and do their best to maintain the honor of solo singers.

Among them, there is also a group of top solo singers with great strength and talent, but it is a pity that the team combination at this time is too strong, too competitive, and the suppression of solo singers is too much, which makes many solo singers unable to come forward. Maybe it's just a flash in the pan.

After 2000, the more regrettable solo singers who can compete with the team group without falling behind at all include Yoo Seung-jun, Se7en, Park Ji-yin and Kim Jong-kook.

It's a pity that Liu Chengjun was played miserably by the brokerage company, and finally blindly obeyed the arrangement of the brokerage company because of the military service incident, and the director finally completely angered the South Korean government, so that even South Korea can't go back now.

Se7en strength and talent. That's something to be affirmed, or else. He wouldn't be the only solo singer who could compete with Rain at the beginning. At its peak, Se7en was definitely no worse than any team combination, but unfortunately Se7en's glory was too short-lived, and it was just a flash in the pan.

The same is true for Park Ji-yin, who is very popular and powerful, but I don't know why. Always half a step away from the top team combination, you just can't climb that level.

Kim Jong Kook is even more so, the glory time is too short, reaching the peak to achieve any team combination is useless, who comes and who dies in a terrifying situation. It's a pity that he was killed by someone. Directly sent to serve in the army, so that his glory is like a meteor across the sky, dazzling but short-lived.

Therefore, after 2000, there are only three solo singers who can keep the honor and dignity of solo in the Korean music scene, and can compete with the team group without falling behind.

These three people are Li Xiaoli, Rain, and one is Li Zhien, who is standing in front of him at this time, looking shy and scared, looking at him cautiously, a little girl with the stage name IU.

Eh~~~ Of course, now you have to count Kim Yufan, as for BOA, forget it, although BOA is very popular, but in a real sense, BOA's status and honor in South Korea are completely based on success in Japan. In real terms, although BOA's popularity and influence in South Korea are not bad, they are definitely not comparable to those top team combinations.

Lee Hyori, Rain and IU are definitely the representatives of solo singers in the Korean music scene after 2000.

Especially at this time, she is still shy, and the small and cute IU is even more admirable, which makes Jin Yufan pay attention to it.

The reason is very simple, IU's success is much more difficult than Lee Hyori and Rain, and it is really rare to be able to achieve the status of a top solo singer and collide with the team without falling behind.

Lee Hyo-ri's solo success is entirely due to the huge popularity and influence of the original Fin.K.L group, and the luck of a solo will be successful when he encounters a divine comedy.

Although Rain has worked hard and maintained his status, popularity and influence very well, in a real sense, when he encounters the top team in Korea, Rain is somewhat weaker.

Don't forget jì, whether it's Lee Hyo-ri or Rain, or those demigod solo singers Park Ji-yin, Se7en and Yoo Seung-joon, Kim Jong Kook and others, they can be brilliant and almost all meet good days and good times.

Because, almost all of these people reached the peak of their careers from 2002 to 2005, and in the past few years, it happened to be the decline period of the first generation of South Korea's top ten groups, either disbanded one after another, or survived in name only.

With the disbandment and solo flight of the first generation of the top ten groups, the dominance of the team group in the Korean music market at that time also declined sharply, which gave these people a chance, but they took the opportunity to rise.

In fact, Jin Yufan admires IU even more, because IU's debut time is really unfortunate.

Anyone who knows a little bit about the Korean music scene knows it. In 95, the Korean music scene was the world of solo singers, and after 95 years, it was the world of team groups, of which from 2002 to 2005, the team group had a period of exhaustion.

If the first generation of the top 10 groups started the glory of Korean team groups, then led by TVXQ, plus SuperJunior and SS501, BigBang started the peak period of Korean team groups.

Especially after 2006. The team group has really reached its peak, and from this time on, solo singers basically don't want to break through the encirclement and suppression of team groups, and don't want to mix up at all.

And IU debuted at the peak of the team's heyday, in 2008, a very young girl named Li Zhien, finally cautiously took her first step in the music industry.

However, IU's debut did not go well. Although it debuted, it was the heyday of the team group, and although IU worked hard, it was still suppressed too much by the team group, and it was not until 2010, that is, three years later, that IU began to rise, and finally won the weekly champion honor of the first music chart show after its debut.

But. In 2010, IU began to rise in a complete frenzy. In just one year, he ushered in the peak of his career, and instantly became a top solo singer who can compete with the team.

In the next few years, after Lee Hyori lost his halo and got married, he began to keep a low profile, Rain made a comeback from service but was never able to reach the peak of his career again, and in the Korean music scene, solo singers were left with IU. is still continuing to maintain the pride and dignity of solo singers, has been competing with the group group, and can maintain the upper hand, this qiē is really too surprising and rare.

It is no exaggeration to say. In terms of IU's debut and rise at an unsatisfactory time, he was able to enter the peak of solo singers, and he did not fall behind in the slightest against the team group.

At this point, in Jin Yufan's view, IU is far stronger than Lee Hyori and Rain, because IU is young, it is difficult to make a debut, there is nothing to help, and even the help given by the brokerage company is very small, IU can still rise slowly, relying on his true ability and strength, as well as persistence, which is really rare and not easy.

And now, IU is standing in front of him shyly, how can you let Jin Yufan not get excited, not jump up and shout, it can be regarded as Jin Yufan's psychological element zhì is very good.

At this moment, Jin Yufan feels very happy, and for the outside world to evaluate his god-like choice, Jin Yufan also feels that it seems to be really reasonable, and any decisions and choices he makes are really effective in the end, which has helped him a lot.

For example, this time, Jin Yufan admired himself, how did he think of establishing an observation area, and allowing outsiders to enter the company to watch the trainees practice, and he also specially prepared for the selection of trainees for a week.

Isn't the purpose of establishing an observation area just to attract more potential and talented trainee seedlings? Isn't the selection of trainees who take a small exam every week just to not miss any future stars?

Looking at the IU in front of him, Jin Yufan's heart was full of pride and pride at this moment, and his decision was really correct. Not to mention anything else, just with the appearance of IU this time, this qiē is worth it, whether it is its own strength or influence, including popularity and ability to attract money, it is enough to be worthy of a team combination.

At the very least, as far as the current artists under CM Company are concerned, counting those groups who are still trainees and will debut in the future, only Fin.K.L and Kara seem to be stronger than IU in terms of influence and ability to attract money. Of course, for the company, what is more important is undoubtedly the ability of its artists to attract money.

Except for Fin.K.L and Kara, although the other combinations are very good, they are really worse than IU in comparison.

You know, IU is a great guy who can compete with top team combinations, and the opponents are either SuperJunior or EOX, or Girls' Generation and BigBang, isn't that great?

The only one that can be stronger than IU, Fin.K.L has nothing to say, the members of solo development are very good, and they are full of gold absorption. Especially Fin.K.L has old qualifications and has enough qualifications and confidence to hold concerts. Isn't the most profitable thing for singers to do is advertising endorsements and concerts?

Kara doesn't have much to say, it's really too popular in Japan, and the earning power, absolutely nothing, not only can feed the DSP, but even has extra money for the DSP to cultivate Rainbow. It's not something that can be cultivated with a little money.

What I didn't say, Kara's popularity and influence in Japan, including the ability to attract money, is really strong, even if she went to Japan when she was a girl, she can't compare with Kara.

Joke, after BOA and TVXQ, the third Korean artist to achieve more than one million album sales in Japan is the best proof of this.

Of course, none of this matters to IU. No matter what happened to Jin Yufan at this time, Jin Yufan's mind was full of the little girl in front of him who was ashamed to answer at this time.

There's nothing to say, since I met and knew IU's future achievements, I killed Kim Yu-fan, and Kim Yu-fan didn't want to miss IU.

Thinking of this, Jin Yufan took the initiative to take a step forward and pulled Li Zhien over from the receptionist. smiled and said, "Zhi'en, right, how about it." I really want to be a trainee, do you want to join our MC and become a trainee? ”

Well, Jin Yufan admitted that he was like a strange Shu millet deceiving the little girl at this time, but as long as he can get IU, he will blame Shu millet for blaming Shu millet. Jin Yufan also admitted it.

Li Zhien really wanted to become a trainee, and he was originally very shy and scared, but as soon as he heard Jin Yufan's words, Li Zhien's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was almost no hesitation. He nodded vigorously and said, "Yes." ”

"However, a few days ago, I went to Loen Entertainment to take the trainee exam, and Loen asked me to wait for news, there is a high possibility of becoming a trainee, and I don't know how to choose. ”

IU's answer immediately made Jin Yufan happy, and the subsequent words immediately made Jin Yufan angry.

Nima, Loen entertains you bastard, you want to compete with me for IU, right, sue you, there is no door.

Li Zhien's hesitation, Jin Yufan is somewhat understandable, as the receptionist said, Li Zhien really wants to become a trainee and become an artist, and he has conducted more than 20 trainee selections before, but he has been rejected.

Now, Loen Entertainment has given Li Zhien a lot of hope, and Li Zhien is probably afraid of rejection and wants to seize this opportunity.

But now, Jin Yufan couldn't help but laugh, Loen Entertainment is sorry, who let Li Zhien, this kid come to my MC if it's okay, this time I was caught, then your Loen Entertainment signboard in the future is gone.

"Hehe, Zhi'en, what's so good about Loen Entertainment, let's come to our MC, as long as you have the reason, you can become a trainee of our MC immediately, I'm the artist director of the MC, and this right is still there. It's not a way for you to wait for Loen Entertainment now, what if Loen Entertainment Knowledge comforts you and finally rejects you. Wouldn't it be better to join our MC company right now? You must know that although our MC has just been established, in terms of the field of singers, it is indeed more professional than Lone Entertainment. Not to mention, our MC company still has a big star like Kara. ”

With Jin Yufan's persuasion, Li Zhien was obviously moved, maybe he was really afraid of rejection, as Jin Yufan said, instead of waiting for an uncertain answer, it is better to seize the opportunity and choose to join the company that can be joined directly, so wouldn't it be better.

Seeing Li Zhien's hesitation, Jin Yufan gritted his teeth and prepared to take the medicine, and whispered directly in Li Zhien's ear: "Zhien, I'll tell you something, you just need to know about it, but you can't say it, you have to keep it secret from anyone, you know?"

"Well, OPPA, I'm not going to say it. "Children are like that, they want to hear other people's secrets, so that they can feel a sense of pride and accomplishment, even if they don't know anything about it.

"Well, of course I believe in our kindness, tell you, in fact, in addition to Kara, there is also Fin.K.L in our MC company, as long as you join our MC company, you will become the younger sister of Fin.K.L in the future, and you can often see Fin.K.L in the company in the future. ”

Just like HOT's absolute influence on little boys before 2008, don't doubt Fin.K.L's influence on Korean little girls, which even BOA can't compare.

At least until it gave way to Girls' Generation in 2010, Fin.K.L had a huge, unimaginable influence on young Korean girls.

"Really!" Hearing the news, Li Zhien's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Of course it's true, how could I lie to our little Zhien, I can tell you, it's a Fin.K.L group, it's a Fin.K.L combination of four people!" Jin Yufan nodded very sternly and said seriously.

"OPPA, I want to join MC too, but I'm going to go back and talk to my dad first. "Okay, Li Zhien, this girl is completely moved.

However, how could Jin Yufan allow Li Zhien to leave like this, in case Li Zhien went back, Loen Entertainment called, saying that Li Zhien could come to Loen Entertainment as a trainee, and Jin Yufan was not present, it would be completely uncompetitive, and the ghost knew what method Loen Entertainment would use to make Li Zhien's family faint and finally let Li Zhien go to Loen Entertainment.

"Well~~~ Zhi'en, why don't you be my apprentice, I don't know why, I'm very optimistic about you, and I feel very close to you. Gritting his teeth, Jin Yufan continued to take the fierce medicine and said.

"Oh, OPPA, is it true?" This time, Li Zhien was taken aback again, he didn't expect Jin Yufan to have the idea of accepting him as an apprentice, which was definitely an accident for Li Zhien, but more of a surprise.

Who is Kim Yufan, that is the most special top singer in the Korean entertainment industry, even if it is a three-year blank period, but who dares to ignore Jin Yufan.

Especially Jin Yufan's scenery three years ago, Li Zhien, who has always been very concerned about the entertainment industry, of course also knows about it, so he admires Jin Yufan's talent and strength more and more.

And now, Jin Yufan actually said that he would accept him as an apprentice, how could Li Zhien not be excited.

In addition, Li Zhien's young age at this time made him unable to see many things so far, so he nodded and immediately sold himself: "OPPA, I am willing to be OPPA's apprentice!"

After speaking, Li Zhien took the initiative to hold Jin Yufan's hand very smartly, and began to smile and watch Jin Yufan coquettishly.

"Huh~~~" Ignoring the stunned receptionist on the side, Jin Yufan finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally left Li Zhien, a little girl, behind.

As for Loen Entertainment, hehe, I'm sorry, don't have any ideas, can you still snatch my apprentice?

Thinking of Li Zhien's future achievements, as Li Zhien's master, he will definitely be affected by Li Zhien's achievements at that time, which is of course a good aspect.

At that time, everyone will sigh at their own strength and ability, and they will teach Li Zhien to be such an excellent singer.

Thinking of this, Jin Yufan couldn't help but feel good, and he took Li Zhien's little hand and walked towards the practice room: "Come, Zhien, you are also a trainee of our MC company now, I will take you to meet your seniors and Ernnies first, you must know that these Ernnies and seniors are very good people."
