Li Xiuman squinted at the five teenagers in front of him who were reporting their names, and he had to admit that even in S.M, the S.M company with the best value of trainees in Korea, these five teenagers were not bad.

Jin Yingmin counted twice from left to right and then from right to left, five, interesting, is Li Haoyan planning to let these five children compete with TVXQ?

He turned to look at Li Xiuman, there was still no expression on his dark face, but he knew that Li Xiuman's mood must be very complicated at this time.

Whether it is H.O.T, mythology or TVXQ, it is all planned by Li Xiuman, and every member is carefully selected by him, even if it is an opponent, Kim Yingmin has to admit that Li Xiuman's vision is too poisonous, and what he picks out is S.M's temporary choice, but ......

Kim Young-min turned his gaze to the first floor, looking around but not finding the person he wanted to see, and his brows furrowed inadvertently.

Li Xiuman pondered for a long time before nodding, "At first glance, it is a good seedling, and President Haoyan can be regarded as well-intentioned." ”

Lee Hao-yeon smiled and just wanted to speak, but Lee so-man stood up again, his eyes looked in the direction of the staircase, he turned his head and stood up, it turned out to be YG's president Yang Hyun-seok and walked over with four or five trainees.

Before Yang Hyun-suk, Lee so-man, and Lee Ho-yeon finished their polite exchanges, JYP's Park Jin-young also came up with a few trainees, and after greeting each other, they all sat down.

Lin Xiyin saw that the four bigwigs had sat down, so he turned around and gestured to Han Shenghao, who was waiting in the distance, this all-staff meeting invited the bosses of these four companies, even if the guests have already arrived, then the all-staff meeting can begin.

As the music sounded on the small stage, everyone quieted down, and the bosses on the second floor stopped talking and looked at the stage, and the trainees behind them all sat up straight, staring at the stage below with expressionless faces, as if a monster would pop up from the backstage in the next moment.

"Hi, ladies and gentlemen, the board of directors upstairs, the president NIM, distinguished guests, and friends in front of the TV and radio, good afternoon~"

Lin Xiyin was startled when he heard the familiar voice in the entire small hall, and after a closer look, Zheng Xiyi was dressed in a suit and walked onto the stage with a microphone, and waved to the second floor as he walked, and behind him, BADA, who was dressed up, followed with a burdened face.

The trainees and staff on the first floor clapped their hands and laughed, Li Xiuman on the second floor also laughed and applauded gently, and several other presidents also smiled and waved, but those trainees still sat with serious faces.

Zheng Xiyi and BADA stood in the center of the stage and bowed at 90 degrees, "Anihasse, Zheng Xiyi/Cui Shengxi Yi Mida." ”

As soon as he straightened up, BADA waved the teleprompter card in his hand at Zheng Xiyi and said, "Zheng Xiyi, what friend in front of the TV and radio, do you think this is a live broadcast?

Zheng Xiyi waved his hand nonchalantly, and flew out of the teleprompter card in his hand to the audience, "Sister BADA, today is the all-staff meeting, 365 days a year, only today can be in the company openly and without practicing, what lines do you want to read, don't waste that time, let's start quickly, the juniors below can't wait." ”

BADA pointed to the second floor and said, "This year's all-hands meeting is different from previous years, but this year's S.M. President Lee Ho-yeon NIM, YG's President Yang Hyun-suk, and JYP's President Park Jin-young NIM came to our S.M 2004 all-hands meeting. ”

Zheng Xiyi raised his head and looked at the second floor, the three presidents and Li Xiuman were all sitting in a row on the second floor and looked at him with a smile, Zheng Xiyi saluted, and then said to BADA: "It's okay, several presidents have never seen any scenes, and they won't care about this." ”

Saying that, Zheng Xiyi turned his back to the second floor and pretended to be secretive and whispered to BADA: "Anyway, I'm an actor, and they can't control me." ”

The audience laughed, the three presidents couldn't cry or laugh, and Li Xiuman laughed so much that his eyes couldn't see.

BADA YELLS, "BUT I'M IDOL!"

Zheng Xiyi looked BADA up and down, "Sister BADA, you haven't had a trip recently, so it's still an IDOL, just give up treatment, anyway, you are also hidden by the snow." ”

The trainees and staff on the first floor burst into laughter, and on the second floor, it was Li Xiuman's turn to cry and laugh, and the three presidents laughed happily.

Yang Hyun-seok smiled and said to Lee so-man, "Director Lee so-man, this Jung Hee-yi XI is really funny, even you don't let it go, it doesn't look like S.M's style at all, but more like our YG artists." ”

Li Xiuman looked at Yang Hyun-suk, and then at a certain boy among the trainees behind him, and said with a smile: "Xiyi is an actor, naturally it is different from IDOL, but if Xiyi is really more suitable for YG, I won't hold on to it, don't you think Zhilong is the best example?"

Yang Xianshuo's face darkened, and he looked back at Quan Zhilong who was sitting behind him, and secretly scolded Li Xiuman in his heart.

Seeing that the two adults turned their eyes to him, Quan Zhilong had already lowered his head and pretended to be an ostrich.

Quan Zhilong became a trainee of S.M as early as 1996 when he was only 9 years old, but because he was too young and restricted by the law, he did not become a formal trainee, but a self-funded trainee who came to practice every weekend. After five years of practice, Kwon Ji-ryong found that S.M, which only allowed **P style and suppressed artist creation, was not suitable for him at all, so he left S.M to join YG, who likes hip-hop and creation.

It was Li Xiuman who agreed to let go of Quan Zhilong, and this teenager had already entered his sight, but this teenager's free music style and unruly personality were not what S.M needed, so even though Li Xiuman was very optimistic about Quan Zhilong, he finally let Quan Zhilong go.

It sounds like a very stupid decision, from the value created by Quan Zhilong in the future, S.M is a loss-making business, but from the perspective of S.M's overall strategy, no matter how good Quan Zhilong is, it does not belong to S.M, leaving him means that S.M wants to change his **P music style and give artists greater autonomy, which is simply impossible for both Li Xiuman and S.M.

Lin Xiyin sat on the side and quietly observed Quan Zhilong, although she had never heard of or seen this young man, but she naturally had to pay attention to the trainees that Li Xiuman and Yang Xianshuo both valued so much.

Jin Yingmin's eyes flashed with a trace of disdain, do these old guys always want to accompany the men's group?

The men's group makes more money than the women's group, and Kim Yingmin understands this reason, the reason why he doesn't want to take the men's team route is of course not because he can't get along with money, but because he thinks that the men's group is too difficult to control.

Why do Korean idol groups have a five-year curse? Boy groups are basically because of the uneven distribution of benefits, but girl groups are more because of their age.

The uneven distribution of benefits is the most important factor, but all Korean artists are treated like this, even the actors are not much better, why do the lowest-status IDOL people have the courage to resist? It is not because they have such a huge fan base behind them. Although the members of the women's group will also have disputes with the company because the income is too small, they generally solve it internally after coaxing and persuading, and then giving some sweetness, while the men's group is not so simple.

Look at H.O.T, Mythology and even Crystal Boys, the number of fans is indeed large, and the benefits brought to the company are big enough, but men's ambitions are naturally big, when they have hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of fans behind them, these originally obedient little boys' appetites are slowly growing, and the treatment that the girl group can meet is a joke for the boy group, and the company is obviously not willing to compromise on interests, and there will be no other results except for the dissolution of the trouble.

Kim Young-min wants to be the president of the company, and wants to change S.M's main project to a girl group, because the girl group is much easier to control than the boy group, and although the money is a little less, it is not so tossed, and every few years he is scolded by the people as a vampire, and it is not a matter for fans to sit and demonstrate outside the company.

The all-staff meeting officially began after Zheng Xiyi ridiculed the presidents of the three major brokerage companies and their own founders, and the trainees showed their strength to perform, especially the trainees who are still at the C-level. The year-end exam ended last month, and the trainees have been re-evaluated, and the next assessment will be half a year later, so the trainees who are still in the C level now also mean that if a new combination project enters the planning stage in the first half of 2005, their chances of being selected are almost zero.

What's more, the company is currently planning a large-scale men's group, although the first round of candidates has already been selected, there are at least three exams before the candidates are finalized. C-level trainees can also sign up for each selection competition, but they can't stand up to B-level trainees signing up more, stronger, the only way to change this reality is to become B-level trainees themselves, using the resources of B-level trainees to practice, the all-staff meeting is their only chance in half a year, how can they not work hard.

As an MC, Zheng Xiyi basically praises the performers of the previous show first, and then reports the curtain down, and then comes down. The reason why he was unruly just now was because he was so tired, and if he hadn't agreed to be this MC earlier, he would have fallen asleep on the floor right now.

Zheng Xiyi recently stayed in the company until the early hours of the morning before going home to rest, and he had to come to the company early the next morning, not because he was suddenly diligent, but because he was self-inflicted.

At the beginning, he followed Yu Yongzhen to continue arranging "Ordinary DISCO", his recording and arranging techniques were self-taught, purely relying on a set of equipment at home to be tossed by him, but without the guidance of professionals, it is impossible to really play with such professional equipment and technology.

Yu Yongzhen took the initiative to go to the practice room to find Zheng Xiyi the day after arranging the music for him, and gave him a new version of the accompaniment tape, so that Zheng Xiyi finally understood that arranging music is not so simple. Don't look at the first day, Yu Yongzhen only took more than two hours to get it done, but in fact, arranging the music is an extremely time-consuming job, and even capable producers need to spend a lot of time to adjust slowly.

When Yu Yongzhen said that this was only version 2.0, and a better version could be given if no one helped, Zheng Xiyi understood that Yu Yongzhen was hinting at him, so he made a straightforward request to help. Yu Yongjin waited for this sentence, and the two of them went into S.M's recording studio for the next three days and never came out except for eating and going to the toilet, and finally called Jung so-yeon, Kim Tae-yeon, Choi so-young, STELLA, Zhang Li-yun and Han Geng to re-record it, which finally ended all the preparations for this song.
