Chapter 344: The Man Behind the Idol

The door to this practice room was suddenly pushed open again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, giving a very Sven impression above his neck, but below his neck can be described by words such as "five big and three thick", "fat and strong", and so on, walked in.

"Six people, there's a temporary commercial performance at Lotte Department Store later, and we need help setting up the stage. ”

The man said as he entered the house, and after saying this, he saw Dana and Liu Kewei standing by the window in the room, and nodded with a smile to say hello.

Judging from his appearance, this middle-aged man, who weighs an estimated weight of nearly two hundred pounds, does not look like an idol artist or a dance teacher, and a suit of not a small size is worn on him with an effect similar to that of a tights.

If Dana hadn't spoken, Liu Kewei would have thought that this was a security guard or a physical education teacher.

"the_one Oba, Anihassio!"

Ouch mom, dana is a title, which directly scared Liu Kewei down.

This is the legendary "Tiger Singer" and "The Man Behind the Idol" Jung Chun-won?

The so-called "tiger singer" refers to the fact that he was very strict when teaching his students, often using push-ups, running, and even bamboo whips as punishment. Therefore, when those debut artists who have suffered a lot see him, they often show a fearful expression like seeing a tiger.

As for "the man behind the idol" This nickname can be understood in two ways, one is that he has sung OST for many idol dramas, and when the heroes and heroines in the play experience various famous classic scenes, his voice will often sound in the background music;

Therefore, although he is not an idol but a singer, he is a well-deserved "man behind idols".

the_one the name of Jung Chun-won. Liu Kewei must have heard of it.

However, the other party rarely appears in variety shows, and Liu Kewei only had the energy to pay attention to such a group when he was young, so he really doesn't know what the other party looks like.

It turned out to be a muscular man with a similar style to Kim Jong Kook?

Of course, Liu Kewei didn't dare to slack off, and bowed respectfully with Dana.

However, the other party just smiled and nodded to Dana, glanced at Liu Kewei, and without saying anything, he turned back to those trainees, and directly called out six names, asking these people to follow him, while the others continued to practice.

Obviously he was called to be a coolie. Strangely, the six children whose names were called followed him happily, while the others who were not called by their names looked a little disappointed.

After Zheng Chunyuan went out, Liu Kewei whispered his doubts to Dana.

"These children stay here for more than eight hours a day and can only rest half a day a week. Of course, they are very happy to be able to go out for a walk in the open, and besides, the people who can participate in commercial performances are either artists who have already debuted or senior trainees who are about to debut, and observing other people's stage experience is also a very important lesson for these children. Dana explained with a smile.

The two stayed in the room for a while. It wasn't until Dana felt that Liu Kewei should have seen everything that should be seen, so he led Liu Kewei out of the door.

The next stop is the building's cafeteria.

The cafeteria is on the ground floor. It was about the same size as the practice room just now, and there were a few simple wooden tables in it, which could only accommodate about twenty people.

Dana explained, eat here. It was each class that came in turn.

On the table by the kitchen windowsill there are still leftovers from lunch, and there are three items in total.

Spicy cabbage, pickled radish, and stir-fried pork with barely visible shredded bean sprouts.

In fact, according to Korean cuisine, only the last dish is considered the main course. The first two dishes can only be regarded as "side dishes".

There is also a soup.

That's all.

Liu Kewei grinned, and now he found out that the three restaurants on Naxon's side, no matter which one was compared to those used by these S.M. company trainees. It's a paradise.

The cafeteria attached to Xiaohuanglou has a good level of food, why did it become so shabby when it got here......

"Could it be that the trainees of your company live by eating these things every day?"

"The trainees' room and board expenses are all the responsibility of the company, and at this stage, not only can they not earn a penny for the company, but the company has to support them completely. ”

Dana's expression was a little gloomy, and she also felt that this level of food was really not very good. However, considering the company's position, she felt that it was difficult to ask the company to pay more......

After all, S.M. is not a charity, and if it is expanding its investment in trainees, it will obviously have to make up for it by increasing the squeeze on the debut artist's side.

The so-called flesh is cut to mend sores. This is what it means to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall.

Therefore, Dana could only state the distress of S.M.'s company in a tone similar to an excuse.

The last stop for Dana's so-called "take you to a few places" was a dormitory in a nearby neighborhood for the trainees of S.M.

She asked the security guard at the gate to go upstairs and call a trainee who lived in the dormitory to be her guide, and then she and Liu Kewei left the building with the sixteen-year-old Thai girl.

These trainees of S.M. live in more than a dozen dormitories nearby, which are not in the same place.

The dormitory they were going to was probably the closest one. It is just a few other buildings away, and it is also an old-fashioned residential building.

The layout of the house is very small, it is said that it is three bedrooms and one living room, and it is estimated that it is only about sixty or seventy square meters.

The master bedroom has a double bed and a single bed, and the two secondary bedrooms are two single beds, so a large place for a total of seven girls lived.

Apart from the beds and a wardrobe in each room, there is hardly any furniture in the house, and the distance between the two beds is not more than a metre.

The living room is also small, with a sofa against the wall, a square table and a refrigerator.

Compared with the dormitory of the apartment building in the threesome studio, it can be said that it is far worse.

seems to understand the secret disdain in Liu Kewei's heart. Dana sneered and shook her head, "Maybe you don't know that our company's trainee treatment is almost the best among all entertainment economy companies in the Republic of Korea. If you go to YG, it's probably not as good as us, and as for JYP, it's not to mention......"

Well, when Liu Kewei heard her say this, he couldn't imagine what the situation should be like in JYP's trainee dormitories, could it be all floors?

"Do you know my intention in showing you these places and meeting these people?"

On the way back to S.M. company. Dana asked suddenly.

"I don't know the specifics, but I guess you want me to see how those children who have also chosen the path of the entertainment industry are doing, right?"

Liu Kewei replied honestly.

"What I'm trying to tell you is that you do have a good talent for singing, but that's about it. There are many more talented people than you, and even those children who are not as talented as you. As long as they are willing to work hard, they may not be able to far surpass you now. ”

Liu Kewei nodded silently, he had already deeply understood this matter.

"However, even if you have talent, you are willing to work hard. Will he be able to succeed? You should have seen the strength that the senior showed when he sang "The Reason to Leave Me"? He was just unlucky or didn't control himself for a while -- do you think he was an example? There are actually many similar situations! There is an Ernie in the company, and every year when the company evaluates the comprehensive strength of its artists. She's in the top one or two. But the group she was in only released one album, and was later disbanded because of bad grades. Then it was hidden by the company for several years. Her teammates couldn't stand it, and they all terminated their contracts with the company to seek other developments, and I went to see her in the dormitory a few days ago, and she cried a ......"

The Ernie that Dana is talking about at the moment is actually Park Hee-ben, the captain of the girl group M.I.L.K, this group was created by Moon Hee-joon, a member of H.0.T, the originator of the Korean Wave, and was established in 2002, and announced its dissolution in 2003, and Moon Hee-joon, who discovered and cultivated them a year later, also terminated his contract with S.M. and left. In this case, it is understandable that they become isolated in the company.

What's the use of even the best of the best? If you don't have the right resources to allocate to you.

Even, even if the company is willing to give you resources, it depends on whether the market will buy it.

The strength of everyone in the group that Dana himself is in is undoubted, and S.M. is not without blood. However, after becoming popular for a period of time, it gradually faded out of the public eye......

Of course, all the members of the group that Dana belongs to are now dance teachers or vocal teachers of S.M., not like the M.I.L.K. group. From this point of view, it is much stronger than the other party.

However, Liu Kewei's brain hole belongs to a more alternative category, and from Dana's words, the direction he associates with is completely different from what Dana expected.

"In that case, Mr. Dana, is there anyone who didn't work very hard, but because they were lucky?"

"Ah, you!"

Crying and laughing, Dana really remembered someone's face in his mind, and then he couldn't help laughing, "Well, there are people like this occasionally." For example, in the past, a trainee was obviously at the bottom of the monthly exam every month, but after his debut, he became famous in one fell swoop. Compared with those trainees who had better grades than him at the beginning, his achievements were much higher, and people were completely speechless...... But you can't use this guy as an example!"

"A well-known S.M. artist who is not good at dancing or singing...... Teacher dana, could it be that you are talking about Xi Chexi?"

Rolling his eyes, Liu Kewei guessed the name that Dana didn't say as if he was helping.

P.S. This is today's "Ben Change".

It took a lot of time to check the relevant information last night, and in the end I still couldn't add more, sorry. (To be continued.) )
