Chapter 114: Spells and the Celestial Empire

In fact, it should be rare that Xiao Yuan can say two words vaguely to vent his loss today. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are three "unmotivated" people in the team, and in addition to Suyoung and Sunny, she is the only one to count.

If it weren't for the question of "am I left behind alone", she probably wouldn't have expressed any objections to popularity or resource tilt.

Xiaoyuan knows herself very well, she doesn't have any extravagant expectations for singing, and Totuoer is one of the bottom few in the team;As for the sense of artistry, there are two short bodies of variety show aces there, and everyone else is a little behind;When it comes to appearance, whether it is appearance or figure, she is not outstanding in the team.

Dance is the only thing she has bet on all her self-esteem and dreams.

And her dancing strength is indeed worthy of her expectations, just like Taeyeon's singing skills, she rode the dust, crushed the whole team, and won without dispute.

Even the choreographer often asks her to deliberately keep a low profile and not show her true skills, so as to take care of the dance level of the rest of the team.

After all, the group dance of idol groups pays attention to neatness and consistency, and if there is a particularly outstanding individual, whether it is good or bad, it is considered a failure.

However, Sunny and Suyoung are not the first lead singer or the first lead dancer, and there is basically no possibility of being challenged, so their "lack of motivation" will be more obvious.

Hyo-won is the first lead dancer, and standing in this position on the cusp of the storm, it is inevitable that she will have to accept competition from other members who have the strength to compete for this title, and she will not be able to give up the glory. So compared to Sunny and Xiuying's indifferent detachment, Hyoyeon will seem more obsessed.

"Yes, yes, popularity has seasons, and when we move the focus of development to the Celestial Empire, Xiaoyuan, you will definitely be pushed, and what kind of work such as external spokesperson will naturally be entrusted to you!" Yu Li said with a simple and innocent smile.

Speaking of Hyoyeon's number one challenger in the team, she is probably her.

As the dance champion of the youth audition held by S.M. Company, Yori became a trainee a year later than Hyoyeon.

In terms of pure dancing strength, Hyoyeon has an overwhelming advantage over Yoo-ri, but -- I'm afraid to say everything -- Yoori also has a lot of her own strengths.

First of all, Yori's yoga level is very high, and her limb flexibility is even better than Hyoyeon.

Secondly, in terms of appearance, not to mention who is more beautiful, after all, this is a very subjective evaluation. But at least one thing is for sure, compared with Xiao Yuan and Yu Li, Xiao Yuan's appearance is closer to the aesthetics of Europeans and Americans, while Yu Li is closer to the aesthetics of Orientals. In other words, at least in Korea, Japan, and the Celestial Empire, Yori's looks are more in line with mainstream aesthetics.

Again, in terms of figure, as long as Yu Li can control her mouth (she is fat-prone physique), she can beat Xiaoyuan.

In the end, because of her outstanding performance in "Undefeated Youth", she won the title of "National Daughter-in-law", and after her popularity skyrocketed, she was close to Tiffany, who was leading the second echelon.

Since there are "unmotivated" members in Girls' Generation, relatively speaking, there are naturally members with a "strong sense of competition", and Yuli happens to be the one with the strongest competitiveness in the team.

Among the nine girls, there are naturally those with good family backgrounds, and there are those with relatively average family backgrounds, and Yuli is one of the latter.

Of course, the so-called family background generally depends on who it is compared with, after all, the real poor family cannot support the additional expenses required for children to receive trainee training from an early age and persist in five or six years.

If you want to say that the member of the team who has the opposite personality to Xiuying, it is Yoo-li. If Xiuying is the most atmospheric and detached one, then the best one with the strongest sense of competition is Yooli. Of course, this is not a bad thing or a disadvantage, it is just a different personality.

The positive effect of this competitive spirit is that Yuli is almost the hardest working on the team (of course, relatively speaking, not that everyone else is not working hard enough), and the negative effect is that sometimes Yuli will unconsciously overexert herself in the competition, putting pressure on the rest of the team.

It is conceivable that when such a Yuli is in the position of the second lead dancer of the team, the relationship with the first lead dancer Hyo Yuan is very delicate.

In fact, Yu Li's real ambition has always been an actor, before her debut, she had been the heroine in the MV or commercial commercials with predecessors such as TVXQ and Zhang Dongjian, and she also made guest appearances in movies, although she finally debuted as a singer of an idol group.

On the contrary, after the official debut, because of the company's resource tilt policy, the actor's itinerary is prioritized by the team's acting role Yuna. Seeing that Yuna has starred in two TV series, but Yuli has made no progress, it is inevitable that she will become more and more anxious.

In her opinion, the main responsibility is "I am not good enough", and then under the self-motivation of "why should I be worse than others", she tries her best to treat any job, and sometimes she can't help but overperform.

Yu Li also knew that this might affect her relationship with the members, and she tried to make amends. For example, she is easy to gain weight and doesn't dare to eat too much food, but she likes to cook a lot of food for her teammates, and as a result, Taeyeon jokingly protested in the show "Notes on Loved Ones", "It's also a burden to be too kind to others." ”

It's a pity that Yuli's EQ is not as high as Xiuying and Sunny, and the topic that Xiuying and Sunny deliberately avoided was unintentionally stabbed away by her.

That's right, that's the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire that S.M. loves and hates.

The Celestial Empire entertainment industry has huge market potential, as well as less standardized operating rules, compared with their peers who are struggling in South Korea, it is easy for Hallyu stars who enter the Celestial Empire market to make a lot of money. However, on the other hand, the income, status and voice of the acting stars in the entertainment circle of the Celestial Empire are far stronger than those of the Hallyu stars in all aspects, and there will be a gap if there is a comparison, which can easily breed dissatisfaction and resistance to economic companies in their hearts.

S.M. has a so-called "five-year curse", starting with H.O.T., to the mythical group, to TVXQ, and then to the recent super_junior, almost every group will have disbandment, refusal to renew the contract, member termination and other contract disputes about five years after their debut. And these idol groups all had problems after they came into contact with the Celestial Empire market.

Lessons learned again and again forced S.M. to be cautious in entering the Celestial Empire market. Girls' Generation's first tour in Asia is scheduled for four concerts in South Korea, two in Taiwan, and only one in the Magic Capital in the mainland, which can tell a lot.

Once Girls' Generation is successful in the Japanese market next year, will the company take the risk of letting the No. 1 girl group in South Korea continue to explore the Celestial Empire market?

And, on the other hand, S.M. isn't just a girls' generation deck. It can even be said that in the direction of opening up the Celestial Empire market, the company has another girl group in its hands, which has a greater innate advantage than Girls' Generation.

That's the sister group of Girls' Generation, the girl group f(x) that debuted last year.

Because in this five-person team, there is an authentic Song Qian, a native of the Celestial Empire, and a Chinese-American Amber.

Xiao Yuan's six-month study experience in the Celestial Empire, in front of these two, it seems that he is not competitive at all.

Therefore, Yu Li's remarks just now not only do not play a reassuring role, but will also cause a counterproductive effect.

"Let's open up the Celestial Empire market or something, the opportunities are getting fewer and fewer. As a person concerned, Hyobuchi has thought about this issue many times, so he knows better than anyone else, "The company would rather let us go to Japan to compete with AKB48 and Kara." Besides, with Victoria Ernie and Amber here, F(X) they should have a greater chance of going to the Celestial Empire to open up markets than us. ”

Victoria is Song Qian's English name.

Yuli stuck out her tongue, as if to apologize for saying the wrong thing.

Sunny walked over with a grin, hugged Xiao Yuan and said, "Of course Victoria Oni and Amber are great, but you also studied in the Celestial Empire, so you won't be much worse than them, right?"

In their eyes, Xiaoyuan's Chinese level is already very high, simple oral communication is not a big problem, and the pronunciation is much more fluent than the standard of all of them.

Being hugged and encouraged by the optimistic and cheerful Sunny, Xiao Yuan's expression was a little lighter, but she still shook her head and said, "It's still a lot worse, just like the best students in the few of us, no matter how hard we try, our English level can't be compared to Sika and Pani, right?"

Sika and Pani are nicknames for Jessica and Tiffany.

"What?" Tiffany, who was practicing dance, heard the topic suddenly turn to herself, and stopped her movements in a daze and turned her head to look, "What's wrong with Sika and me?"

"Nothing, compliments!" Sunny waved Tiffany to keep up.

Xu Xian, who was drinking water, turned around and bowed, and smiled obediently like a child who had been taught by his elders, "Na, I will work harder." ”

Tiffany was still looking at Sunny and Hyoyuan blankly, and when Yuli saw this, she repeated what Hyoyuan had just said, and then she suddenly realized, smiled and waved her hand: "What's there, the English level in the busy is already very good, and Hyoyuan's Chinese is also very powerful." ”

Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head to show that he did not accept Tiffany's compliment, suddenly remembered something, took out his mobile phone, opened the album, clicked on a certain photo, and said, "Just now in Naxon, I saw a poster of ours with some Chinese characters written on it. I recognize most of these words, but when put them together, I can't understand what they mean. ”

So the sisters leaned over curiously to look at it.

Because of the influence of the "de-Chinese" policy, the level of Chinese among Koreans is high and low, and the older generation can know many Chinese characters; for several years, it was forbidden to teach Chinese characters, resulting in many middle-aged people basically not knowing Chinese characters; and later changed to an elective course, 900 Chinese characters can be taught in middle and high schools, but in view of the address of the social atmosphere, it is rarely taken seriously by students.

But at least every Korean can write their name in Chinese.

Therefore, the girls quickly saw the words on their heads on the poster, and the first one was their last name. But what does that mean exactly?

"Wait, I'm going to ask her about Ronnie!" Tiffany's eyes rolled and she immediately thought of an idea, and after saying that, she ran out of the door in a hurry.
