Chapter 527: Twenty-Four Years Old, Are You Old?
"Please allow me to introduce you once more - this Liu Kewei Xi is actually an official student of Dana's seniors. Minxu Oba, please judge his debut potential with your professional eye. ”
Kim Min-wook meets Yoo Ke-wei for the first time, the company's agent wedding (see Chapter 247). At that time, it was Kim Hee-cheol and Duan Shanshan who introduced them, and in Duan Shanshan's mouth, Liu Kewei was a "director (producer) of a game development studio that has a partnership with Girls' Generation".
The first impression has been established, and today is the second time they have met, and Kim Min-wook has not tried to observe Yoo Kewei from the perspective of an artist.
Hearing Sunny say this, Kim Min-wook was quite surprised, and couldn't help but take a serious look at Liu Kewei.
Liu Kewei was slightly surprised, and hurriedly laughed twice with a "hehe" to divert the embarrassment.
"Mr. Liu, stand up and let me take a look. ”
"Go around in circles...... Slow down, don't rush, I want to look at the body shape of the side and the back...... Well, take another spin and slow down...... Okay, please go to that door, yes, okay, now turn around and walk back again......"
Although Kim Min-wook did not concurrently work in the scouting department, as the person in charge of smchina, he accompanied the interviews quite a few times. Kim Min-wook is no stranger to this business.
According to Kim Min-wook's request, after Liu Kewei completed a series of actions, it was time to ask questions.
"Mr. Liu, what is your date of birth?"
"November, 27, 1987. ”
Kim Min-wook frowned, pondered for a while, turned his head and whispered to Sunny, "It does have some potential, but Mr. Liu's age—I'm afraid it's too big, right?"
- I have a saying that MMP doesn't know whether to say or not, what does it mean that I'm too old?
Liu Kewei suddenly wanted to lift the table with tears and laughter.
From graduating from college to now, he has been one of the youngest people in any company, but since he had a singing studio with those young people, he always met someone who regretfully said to him, "You are too old......
Kim so Yong: If Liu Kewei is a few years younger, persuade him to change careers to become an idol (see Chapter 220).
Jessica: Duan Planning, IMHO, Liu Production...... At his current age...... I'm afraid it's a little late, isn't it (see Chapter 328)?
Dana: At your age, it takes more effort than the average child to improve your singing skills (see Chapter 339)
And the owner of the small shop that Dana took him to: "Dana West, is this the student you just took in? ...... his age."
"It's supposed to be 87 years old, it seems to be a little too big. Dana smiled and certified (see Chapter 342).
……
"I'm only twenty-four years old, okay?"
Memories of the scenes came to his eyes, and Liu Kewei couldn't help but pout his lips sideways and muttered such a sentence.
"I'm sorry Mr. Liu, but I have to be honest, in the idol industry, I eat youth rice. Kim Min-wook shook her head, her expression was sincere, and her voice was serious, "Victoria of our company is only one year older than you (Song Qian and Liu Kewei are the same year, but Song Qian is early in the month, so she is one year older than Liu Kewei in the eyes of Koreans), she became a trainee four years ago and debuted two years ago - this is already considered an older age in the Korean entertainment industry." At your current age, it would be difficult to do this. ”
"Minxu Oba, you still listen to Liu Keweixi's singing skills and then make conclusions, okay?"
Sunny held up a hand, motioning for the two of them to be calm.
As an insider, she naturally knows that Kim Min-wook's previous inspections and comments are completely based on the standard of "a member of a boy group".
This can't be blamed on Kim Min-wook, after all, he has the most contact with men's and women's groups, and once the thinking mode is fixed, it is difficult to take the initiative to jump out.
- Could it be that this Mr. Liu Kewei's singing skills are very good?
Jin Minxu was a little surprised, and looked back at Liu Kewei with an expectant gaze.
"Which song to sing?" Liu Kewei didn't have stage fright, and asked with a smile.
Having received formal training from Dana and showing his hand in front of the chocoball gang, it wasn't a big deal for him to sing a song to anyone else.
"Just the song "Reasons to Leave Me" last time, I'll help you find an accompaniment. ”
Sunny got up and went to the couch to pick up her tablet — her personal belongings, which stored live and backing music from a number of singers, and she would put on headphones to listen to them in between trips or try to hum a few words on her own.
Among them is the accompaniment of "Reasons to Leave Me".
So, with the accompaniment in the tablet, Liu Kewei closed his eyes. Follow Dana's instructions and take a few deep breaths to adjust your breath. Then I found the rhythm of the cut accurately, opened my eyes, and began to sing without hurrying.
Thanks to Dana's words and deeds, his mastery of the song has taken another step or two. You can see from Sunny's expression—
Sunny sat on his knees, resting his tablet on his lap, his hands held high, his eyes closed, and gently swaying to the music, looking extremely intoxicated.
The acting skills of this nursery can be completely added to chicken legs.
"Very good singing skills!"
After Liu Kewei finished singing, Kim Min-wook nodded with a smile and clapped his hands vigorously as an affirmation.
"Liu Production! Liu Production!"
Sunny even raised his thumbs and answered the call with all his might.
"What's going on, Minxu Oba, and now your conclusion is the same as before?"
Kim Min-wook smiled and shook his head: "It seems that I did lose my eyes just now, and Mr. Liu has the potential to be the lead singer." If you can further improve your singing skills at Dana in the future, it's not impossible to make a solo debut, but ......"
"What's wrong?" Liu Kewei and Sunny asked in unison.
"Mr. Liu, do you have any experience in music creation?" Kim Min-wook changed his words and changed the question.
Liu Kewei shook his head blankly.
"Well, if you're going to make your debut, you're going to be highly dependent on the songwriter, after all, you can't cover other people's songs for the rest of your life. In today's market, every new song is a scarce resource, and there is fierce competition between the major entertainment companies and famous indie artists – so unless a company is willing to support it, you're going to have a tough time. Kim Min-wook frowned and shook his head again, "It's not that if you have good rap skills, you will definitely be able to become a successful singer." ”
"You're right, Omuik Oba, so this Mr. Yoo is currently enrolled in Sungkyunkwan University's Department of Acting Arts and is trying to challenge the acting world, and not only that, but he also has a good personal relationship with one of the executive producers of Lotte Pictures - now, what do you think?"
A prestigious university, a major, plus the background of the second largest cinema company......
"Oh, in this way, the road that Mr. Liu can walk after his debut will become much smoother. ”
Kim Min-wook was surprised, he really didn't expect that the young man in front of him, who was ten years younger than himself, would be able to refresh his perception of him again and again.
- I don't remember telling Sunny about my enrollment, how did she know about it?
Liu Kewei was puzzled and looked confused.
- Hmph, Liu Production, the entertainment news in the newspaper does not only report the scandal between you and Jinying's predecessors, but also some of your personal information that they can investigate will also be leaked out, don't you know?
Looking at Liu Kewei's expression, Sunny easily guessed his confusion, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and bow his head, slightly amused.
