Chapter 568: Final Selection (I)
Of course, Li Haoyun knew why Jin Yufan was surprised, in fact, it was not only Jin Yufan, but also Hong Shengcheng and others on the side, who were a little surprised when they heard that there were still eleven people in the final selection.
Looking at everyone's expressions and reactions, Li Haoyun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No way, in the first few selections, we were already very strict." But the remaining eleven children are all very powerful and comparable, and I don't know who should be eliminated, so let these children participate in the final selection, let everyone take a look, absolutely these eleven children to stay. β
"It's brutal. As the only one who sat in the middle and participated in the debut selection, Lee Hyo-ri, who also experienced the debut selection, also said with a unbearable face at this time: "Only half of the eleven are left in the end, the competition is too cruel, and it is also true for the children, especially for those children who fail and are eliminated." β
After speaking, Lee Hyori turned his head to look at Kim Woo-beom and Hong Seung-sung, because Lee Hyori knew that only Kim Woo-beom and Hong Seung-sung were the only two people in the entire MC company who could decide where to stay for these children: "Or, let's not be busy jumping to conclusions, and after all the children have finished performing, let them go back and wait for news." We select a group of newcomers who can make their debut, and as for the rest, they can also form another group to debut. After all, Minister Li Haoyun also said that these eleven children are very powerful, and their strength is comparable, so they were eliminated, for these children, it is too unfair, too pity, and too cruel. β
Li Xiaoli's words couldn't help but make Jin Yufan stunned, thinking about Li Xiaoli's words carefully, it really makes sense. But soon, Jin Yufan could only smile bitterly. Lee Hyo-ri's words are true, but the problem is that it doesn't work.
MC currently does not have the resources to support the two newcomer combinations, not because of insufficient strength, but because of insufficient resources.
That's right. Last year, JYP played such a good show, allowing 2PM and 2AM to debut separately in two months. Company M has never made two new combinations in a short period of time.
In fact, with the current strength and resources of MC Company, it is definitely much stronger than JYP, even if it is the same as JYP. It's not impossible to launch two newcomer combinations in one go.
But the problem is that the limit of MC brokerage is only to launch two rookie combinations at the same time, not three. Therefore, in the final selection this time, only one combination can be decided, and only one combination can be launched.
Although MC has the strength to launch two newcomer combinations, don't forget about missA, missA has actually debuted for half a year, and she is also a pink and tender newcomer.
MC companies can support the development of missA at the same time. It is also possible to let the trainees finally selected by the rookie group this time form a new group to debut, but that's all, another group, and the MC company really can't bear it.
In fact, the act of launching two newcomer groups in one go like JYP is not advisable in the Korean music industry, and it is a very impulsive and bad plan.
You must know that the Korean music market is so small. The population base is also so small, and the market is already fixed. In addition, the Korean entertainment industry is already very competitive, and the metabolism of the entertainment industry is also fast, so it is definitely an unwise choice to launch two newcomer combinations in one go.
Think about the 2PM and 2AM launched by JYP, in fact, JYP does not have the strength to really take care of two new combinations at the same time, in terms of resource allocation. There is still a bias towards heavy and light.
If you look at the development of 2PM and 2AM, you can see which combination is more important in JYP brokerage company, or in Park Jin-young's mind, and the results are clear at a glance. It's a 2PM combo.
In fact, since the debut of the two brother groups of 2PM and 2AM, because of the bias of Park Jinrong and JYP brokerage company's resources, 2PM has always wanted to develop 2AM well.
Take a look at the development of 2AM and 2PM, the two are simply one day and one place, compared to the booming 2PM who has become a first-line boy group, 2AM is much more bland, inconspicuous, so that people can know that there is such a 2AM group, but it is just to know.
Not to mention that the Korean music industry is more likely to accept a boy group like 2PM, and a pure singing boy group like 2AM is not liked by fans, which is completely deceptive. Otherwise, how could SGWannabe be popular back then, isn't SGWannabe a pure singing group, and the album sales of that year still pressed TVXQ and other top groups to the same death.
It can only be said that compared with the 2PM combination, 2AM is not very valued by the company and Park Jin-young, so the resources of the guide zhì are not as much as those obtained by 2PM, and it is naturally difficult to develop without sufficient resources.
Even from the incident of Park Jae-beom, the captain of 2PM at the time, it can be seen that after being hit so harshly, Park Jin-young and the company still tried to protect 2PM, rather than focusing on the tepid 2AM group.
In fact, launching two combinations in one go is definitely not an option. Take a look at JYP's 2PM and 2AM, although the resource allocation is more or less, but in general, the resources are still spent, but the effect is only 2PM development is good, as for 2AM has been tepid.
If you don't be so greedy, if you focus on seizing the boy group market in front of you, and concentrate on the cultivation and development of a group, those resources are enough to make the new group develop very quickly, and it is enough to reach a higher point than the current tepid 2AM.
MC company has this strength, and more importantly, it has enough funds to support MC company to launch two newcomer combinations in one go, but Jin Yufan and Hong Shengcheng are very sensible, and no one takes this extreme, more than 90% of them may fail to choose, but let the two groups debut half a year apart.
With at least half a year apart, it can also allow MC companies to take a breather and have more time and energy to carefully plan new combinations.
"Nuna, I want to do this too, I also feel sorry that these children have been eliminated, and I can't bear it. But this is the reality, this is the music scene, and I can't help it. Shaking his head, Jin Yufan said helplessly: "Nuna, although you don't usually care much about the company, you know more or less about the company's situation, missA has only debuted for half a year. The company can only launch one newcomer combination this time, plus one is not enough, if you force two newcomer combinations, the company will be greatly affected, I am not willing to take this risk, let alone try. β
"Filial piety. I know you can't bear it, but in fact, who in the room can't bear it. Everyone is from MC company, and the atmosphere of MC company is the best of all brokerage companies. Of course, I also hope that these children can make their debut and fulfill their dreams, but this is impossible, and we can't help it. β
Hong Shengcheng's opening made Li Xiaoli, who wanted to say something, suddenly silent, Jin Yufan and Hong Shengcheng both had the same meaning. Then this matter is also settled, and it is impossible to change it anymore.
What's more, Lee Hyo-ri is not an unreasonable person, just because he participated in the Fin.K.L selection back then, and he couldn't bear to know the cruelty of the selection.
Seeing that Li Xiaoli was silent and didn't say anything more, Jin Yufan and Hong Shengcheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. You must know that Fin.K.L is now the first sister of MC Company, and Lee Hyori is the first sister of the first sister.
Don't look at Lee Hyori as just an entertainer, but Lee Hyori's temper and popularity. In particular, the influence is very large. If Lee Hyori really loses his temper, Kim Woo-beom and Hong Seung-sung will also have to consider Lee Hyori's affection. Although Lee Hyo-ri can't be so impulsive and eyeless.
"Okay, without further ado, let's start the audition. Seeing that the time was almost up, Jin Yufan stood up and said to the people seated: "You also heard what you said just now, this time the selection is very important, and more importantly, at least half of the eleven people will be eliminated." It's cruel for these kids. Therefore, I hope that everyone can cheer up and make sure that they can see the characteristics and shortcomings of each trainee and make the most fair judgment. The selection was brutal. But at the very least, we must also do our best and be conscientious, at least we must not let that trainee fail and be eliminated because of our negligence. I believe that if this result really happens, all of us will have a disturbed conscience, but these trainees participated in the trainee training at a very young age, and it has been several years now, and a quarter of their lives have been spent in it. β
After speaking, Jin Yufan sat down and didn't say anything, everything that should be said was said, I believe everyone knows what to do in their hearts.
"Alright, let the first trainee come out. Seeing that everyone was ready, Hong Shengcheng said to a staff member on the right side of the stage. After receiving Hong Shengcheng's order, the staff member also nodded solemnly, turned to leave, and in less than half a minute, he saw a female trainee appear on the stage.
When he saw the first trainee who appeared, Jin Yufan's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was full of anticipation. Because this trainee is actually the trainee in Jin Yufan's mind.
"Hello teachers, I'm Nam Ji-hyun, and I'm the first trainee to participate in the final selection today. Nam Ji-hyun stood in the center of the stage and bowed and greeted Kim Yu-beom and the others.
Because he deliberately confessed before, when he saw Jin Yufan and others, they were uniformly called teachers, so Nam Ji-hyun did not have the president, the president, the minister and the teacher and the like.
"Nan Zhixian!" Listening to Nan Zhixian's introduction, everyone lowered their heads, took out the information of the eleven trainees who participated in the final selection that they had just obtained from Li Haoyun, and found Nan Zhixian's information.
Li Haoyun is indeed an excellent trainee minister, about the eleven trainees who participated in the final selection this time, each person's information is very clear, the advantages and disadvantages of each trainee, the information is also clearly written, and including what specialties and potential, there is also a preliminary evaluation.
Jin Yufan also looked down at Nam Ji-hyun's information in his hand, Nam Ji-hyun's biggest feature is his dance, and his dancing is outstanding. Compared with the dance with outstanding strength, although the singing is not bad, it is just an ordinary Cheng dΓΉ, which belongs to the kind of perfunctory fans, which can make fans feel that this singing skill is worthy of being a singer, but in front of the real strength of the singer, it is only a slightly passing Cheng dΓΉ.
After a few glances at Nam Ji-hyun's profile, Kim Yu-fan raised his head and looked at Nam Ji-hyun who was somewhat nervous standing on the stage: "You were born in 90 and are 19 years old this year. At this age, this may be your last chance, and if you don't get selected this time, it is estimated that it will be difficult for you to make your debut again. β
"Ahh I'm going to give it my all. β
Including Jin Yufan, everyone nodded with satisfaction after listening to Nam Ji-hyun's words, especially the last sentence. Whether it's true or not, but at least the momentum is good.
"This kid is very nice and imposing. It's rare to be the first to appear, and it is also written in the information that as the oldest of the eleven trainees this time, it was originally the fifth appearance, and he took the initiative to ask for the first appearance, just to relieve pressure on the other trainees. Speaking of this, Li Xiaoli said his own mention to Jin Yufan and Hong Shengcheng: "From this point of view, this kid is very good, and his heart is very kind. At the same time, you can do the same for others. In addition, he is the oldest, and if he can choose successfully, he is definitely the right person for the captain. At the same time, although I haven't seen the dance, since it is the characteristic of this child, it should be no problem to serve as a lead dancer in the group in the future. β
As soon as Li Xiaoli's words were finished, Li Haoyun also opened his mouth and added: "Nam Ji-hyun is among these eleven trainees, in terms of appearance. Definitely the best, plus a great figure and a sexy feeling when dancing. I don't think there's a problem with being the face of the group. β
Li Haoyun is the head of the trainees of the MC company, and among the people present, it is estimated that no one knows the strength and situation of these trainees better than Li Haoyun.
Therefore, after hearing Li Haoyun's words, Kim Yu-beom and Hong Seung-sung immediately lowered their heads and took a pen to write on Nam Ji-hyun's profile. It shows that he is suitable to be the captain and can be competent to play the role of the combination of facades.
"Alright, let's start your show now!" Nam Ji-hyun is characterized by dancing, so Han Min-woo, the dance teacher who was seated, opened his mouth and announced that Nam Ji-hyun had started his own performance.
In fact. As a dance teacher in MC company, like Nam Ji-hyun, a group of trainees who are about to make their debut, the dance is basically taught by Han Min-woo. Whoever has strong dancing strength, Han Minyu is naturally clear.
But Han Minyu knew that it was not possible, and he had to let the assessment teachers present see it with their own eyes, and only after seeing it. What's more, in the face of the final selection that determines his fate, he also has to take into account feelings such as pressure and tension, which are things that a singer must learn to face and self-regulate or even solve if he wants to be successful.
The music that was selected before the staff turned on Nam Ji-hyun was a classic song "Eternal Love" by Fin.K.L, and it was also adapted to a certain extent, but I don't know whether this arrangement was done by Nam Ji-hyun himself or let others help.
Lee Hyo-ri didn't expect that the first trainee performance was to perform the classic songs of the Fin.K.L group, and when he saw Nam Ji-hyun dancing his own dance, Lee Hyo-ri suddenly smiled: "Well, this kid is very good, worthy of his dancing specialty, although he is not as good as our Fin.K.L, but among the trainees, at least among the trainees I have seen, he is already very good, and he is the lead dancer of a group, and the Jedi can do it." β
Lee Hyo-ri's words immediately made everyone cry and laugh, eldest sister, although Nam Ji-hyun danced your dance, you don't have to explode so obviously partiality and selfishness.
Compared with Lee Hyori's unreliability, Han Minyu and Hong Shengcheng are much more stable and professional.
Hong Shengcheng laughed: "Well, this kid is good, and the songs he chose are also very good, and he chose Fin.K.L's classic songs, which is somewhat suspicious of sycophancy, and at the same time, there is also a kind of tribute to his predecessors, and there is a sense of goal to become the second Fin.K.L group, which is very interesting." β
Han Minyu also nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, more importantly, this kid is smart, although he is a little cautious, but being cautious also means being smart." At least smart people can survive better in the entertainment industry. β
Nam Ji-hyun is a trainee that Li Haoyun values very much, so he naturally leaves no room for Nam Ji-hyun to add points: "As Minwoo said, being careful is also smart, and it is appropriate to choose Fin.K.L's classic songs, at least I didn't choose SS501 or the songs of other singers under DPS, after all, the concern of our president and DSP president Li Haoyan is not a secret in the entertainment industry." β
"Well, yes, the song chosen for the performance is very coincidental and suitable. What's more, this child is very smart and knows that we all have her information, and since we have information, we will naturally know that she is better at dancing. But the kid didn't perform a complicated and wonderful dance, but calmly performed a song from Fin.K.L. back then. There are a lot of meanings in this, and there is no wonderful dance performance, which proves that this kid is actually not so strong, nor is he so showy and self-centered, such a person is really good in the group, and he will not cause trouble. At the same time, in terms of dance strengths, I was able to calm down and perform Fin.K.L's songs, which was very simple and ordinary, but I said that I could give up my dance strengths for the sake of the group, and I could cooperate with everyone for the sake of other members, which was very good. β
After speaking, looking at the thoughtful crowd, Li Mingcheng continued with a smile: "Now, I kind of believe in Haoyun's words, this kid is very good, if there is no more suitable person than this kid, this kid is also a qualified captain in the combination." β
"Mo, such a simple performance, how can you see so much and so complicated?" With everyone's words, Li Xiaoli, who was sitting on the side, was completely dumbfounded at this time.
Just now, Lee Hyo-ri's mind was all on Nam Ji-hyun's dance, at most to see if Nam Ji-hyun danced his own dance well, and if there were any mistakes, he didn't notice anything else at all.
"Hehe, otherwise Nuna, what do you think, is it the final selection, what is the selection!" Looking at the surprised Lee Hyo-ri, Jin Yufan said calmly.
In fact, no one will know, at least looking at Jin Yufan who is calm now, it is estimated that everyone does not know, in fact, Jin Yufan was just like Lee Hyo-ri, and was shocked by everyone's words.
In the end, it is professional that it is not about strength, but about analyzing many other places that seem not to be the focus, but are essential factors for artists. (To be continued......)
