On the way here, Song Zheng heard Gao Xiaosong mention that when the company began to recruit trainees, he didn't feel anything, after all, the branch of 1+1 company in South Korea has not been established for a long time, and so far it has only launched a group of idol singers T-ara, and this thin report card should not be attractive to those boys and girls with star dreams.

But after arriving at the company, he found that he really underestimated the madness of young boys and girls in order to become idols, even if it is a small company, there are still many people flocking to it.

The Korean branch of 1+1 is located in the most prosperous Gangnam-gu district in Seoul, a six-story office building.

In the practice room of nearly 250 square meters, 50 trainees are practicing with the dance teacher, listening to Gao Xiaosong say that there are five practice rooms like this, that is to say, the company has more than 200 trainees.

"There are so many people, how do you arrange it!?"

"What's the arrangement, what do you think all the people here can do?"

Gao Xiaosong's tone is natural, but it is also cruel.

Among the more than 200 trainees, they can finally get on the stage, and I am afraid that there will be at most 20 people who can really chase the dream of stardom, and maybe even less.

Because Gao Xiaosong has already said that the company will continue to recruit new trainees, that is to say, the cruel competition continues every day, and there will continue to be new people involved.

In this regard, Song Zheng doesn't think there is anything, the Korean entertainment industry is like this, there are so many people who want to come in, it is impossible for everyone to finally walk in, and most people will be eliminated in the process of chasing dreams.

If you want to succeed, you can only risk your life to work hard, and sadly, often after hard work, you can't get a return in the end, and there are even some people who do make a successful debut, but they can't gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry, and they can't escape the fate of being eliminated.

This is mainly because the speed of renewal in the Korean entertainment industry is really fast, there are many newcomers, there will be many combinations debuting every year, and the trainees are also grasping a lot of them, and it is not so easy to stand out among tens of millions of people, you need to pay unexpected things and sweat.

Most brokerage companies in South Korea treat trainees very harshly, for example, Song Zheng has heard that the accommodation conditions are very difficult, a little better, it may be on the bed and under the bunk, everyone is crowded in one room, living a collective life, and almost sleeping directly on the floor, and even heard Han Geng say that some trainees sleep directly on the balcony of the brokerage company.

Basically, there is no personal life, even if you are sick, you are not allowed to ask for leave, you can only heal yourself, and you can't bring your mobile phone to practice normally, just like going to prison, now this era when smartphones have gradually begun to become popular, anyone who does not bring a mobile phone is like losing their soul, it is conceivable that their lives must be very painful.

The usual practice is almost the same as in the army, and they often have to dance for hours without stopping, and if they can't persevere, they will be beaten. In order to achieve the training intensity, the sweat required by the teacher can only rest if you screw it in a bucket.

Song Zheng heard Han Geng say that the life of a trainee is from 8 o'clock in the morning to 12 o'clock in the evening every day, sometimes even later, in the first half a year of practice, he was a big man crying almost every day, and if he did something wrong, he would be beaten or corporal punishment.

In short, even if you listen to others, Song Zheng's practice career is really very difficult, he can only sleep two or three hours a day, and he has to endure a lot of exercise, he can't eat enough, he can't eat well, he can't eat well, it's not a human life.

What's even more cruel is that these trainees have to face the fate of elimination all the time, and every brokerage company in South Korea adopts an elimination mechanism when training trainees, and the probability of elimination is almost 50%.

So if you don't work hard, you may be kicked out at any time, and during this period, there will be a large number of trainees who can't stand this pain and choose to terminate their contracts with the company.

Of course, the 1+1 company treats these trainees very humanely, the accommodation conditions can't be said to be good, but it's definitely not bad, and the food is definitely heaven and earth compared to other companies, and some economic compensation will be given every month.

However, the elimination mechanism also exists in 1+1 companies, and it is just as cruel.

"With such a large amount of exercise, there must be no ambiguity about the food!"

Song Zheng is not badly kind, he just can't be like Li Xiuman, he is not a trainee person, he wants to cultivate talents for the company, not to torture people.

Although it is said that hard life can exercise a person's willpower, it is not the army after all, and he does not cultivate soldiers, but idols.

"Don't worry, our company is heaven in the eyes of these trainees!"

What Gao Xiaosong said is not an exaggeration at all, the meals provided by the company's canteen, white rice, kimchi, miso soup, not even a single shredded meat can be found, relatively speaking, the 1+1 company is definitely generous and benevolent, at least the meals provided are also known to pay attention to nutritional balance.

"Let's go, follow them, there are many of them from China, two of them are good, and one is a Yanjing dance student!"

Gao Xiaosong was about to push the door as he spoke, but was stopped by Song Zheng.

"Wait! Forget it! I won't meet with them anymore!" Song Zheng temporarily changed his mind, "Even if I say two words of encouragement, it's useless! I can't give them any promises, even if I wear out my mouth, I can't change anything, maybe we just met today, and someone will leave tomorrow." ”

More importantly, Song Zheng couldn't give them any advice, after all, South Korea is completely different from China, and his successful model cannot be replicated.

Instead of giving these children an unrealistic fantasy, it is better to let them continue to work hard like this, and those who can be killed can still be killed, those who are destined to have no chance with the entertainment industry, even if Song Zheng says more words of encouragement, it is in vain.

Gao Xiaosong was about to say something, but after listening to Song Zheng's words, he also gave up: "Okay! If you don't meet, you won't meet, when some of these children have made achievements, when the time comes, I will lead them to meet you!"

Song Zheng nodded: "Okay! Let's go!"

Song Zheng came quietly and left quietly, no one knew that Song Zheng had come to the company.
