Chapter 916: Work hard, work hard

These idol stars in South Korea, Song Zheng had only seen them in variety shows in his previous life, but he was very impressed, unlike those stars in China, these idols did not have the slightest idol baggage in the show, for the sake of the effect of the show, even female stars did not hesitate to blacken themselves.

Song Zheng took a look at it, and felt that all of them seemed to have been finished, which was quite beautiful, but it was a little unreal.

"Mr. Li!"

As soon as Li Xiuman spoke, Song Zheng immediately came back to his senses and found that he was being watched by a group of girls, and he was really a little embarrassed.

What Li Xiuman said asked him to give some advice to these young people who were about to debut, but what advice could he have.

Do you tell these young people that if you want to succeed, you must first be born again!

More than a dozen girls are quite excited, Song Zheng's reputation in South Korea is no worse than those first-line stars in South Korea.

Don't look at Song Zheng, only one "True Lies" has been publicly released in South Korea, but the impact is absolutely sensational.

For Hollywood, Koreans are blind worship, Song Zheng can play the leading role in Hollywood's big productions, and is the director and screenwriter of this movie, which in the eyes of Koreans, is simply an Asian hero.

Seeing that the girls' eyes were shining, Song Zheng felt a heat on his face.

What the hell is Nyima talking about!?

Song Zheng has never had the problem of being a good teacher, and he himself hasn't fully understood what is going on, how to teach others!?

"Why don't you let these young people show off their talents first!"

Gao Xiaosong saw Song Zheng's embarrassment and took the initiative to help him out of the siege, and Song Zheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.

When Li Xiuman heard this, he also felt reasonable, and said a few words of Korean to those girls, and then a little girl walked out and bowed to Song Zheng first.

Lee so-man introduced: "This is Kim Tae-yeon, her biggest advantage is that her singing skills are very good, and the company is ready to let her play the role of the lead singer in the new group." ”

Singing?

That's interesting.

Song Zheng nodded, and then signaled that the girl named Kim Taeyeon could start.

Kim Taeyeon took a deep breath and could see that she was still a little nervous, Song Zheng came back today, and she already knew it yesterday.

After the training ended yesterday, everyone was about to go back to the dormitory, when they received a notice from Director Jin, who was in charge of the trainees, that today, the international superstar Song Zheng would come to visit the company and would come to meet them.

At that time, everyone was directly frightened stupid, who doesn't know Song Zheng!?

Famous international superstar, famous director, actor, singer, screenwriter, producer, when these titles are listed on a person's head, the only conclusion that comes to the conclusion is that two words are great!

Such a big man actually came to see them, at that time, all the girls were stunned, they couldn't believe that all this could be true, and when they returned to the dormitory, everyone started to talk about it, and the result was that no one slept much for the whole night.

At this moment, when she really saw Song Zheng, Kim Tae-yeon felt that her heart was about to pop out.

This is an idol!

Don't look at South Korea's very strict management of foreign artists, it is difficult for some singers' music and film and television dramas to enter the Korean market.

But, just like in China, the Internet is omnipotent, and through the Internet, people can get everything they want.

Kim Taeyeon also learned about Song Zheng through the movie "True Lies", and when "True Lies" was released in South Korea, she went to the cinema to watch it.

When the subtitles appeared on the big screen after the movie ended, the rest of the audience left the show, but Kim Taeyeon was stunned by the subtitles.

The director, screenwriter, actor, and even the soundtrack of the movie, Song Zheng participated in the whole process.

At that time, Kim Taeyeon was wondering what kind of person he was to have such an exaggerated talent to achieve great achievements in so many fields.

After that, Kim Taeyeon began to search for everything about Song Zheng on the Internet, and the result was that the more she knew, the more she admired this man, even to the point of obsession.

Now that I really see it, Kim Taeyeon is more excited than nervous, she wants to show her talent to her idols.

Kim Taeyeon said a few words to Song Zheng, and after listening to the translation, Duguce knew that the little girl was expressing her reverence for him.

Duguce also didn't speak Korean, which made it troublesome for people to translate, but he just smiled at Kim Taeyeon, and then signaled that she could start.

To show off your singing skills, it's best to sing a cappella singing, and Kim Taeyeon plans to show it in this way today.

I beat silently in my heart, and at the same time I was adjusting my breathing, and then I started singing.

Song Zheng listened very carefully, this girl named Kim Taeyeon has really good singing skills, but she doesn't have that particularly amazing feeling, at least compared with Zhang Liangying, she is still a little immature.

Of course, Song Zheng doesn't know how to evaluate it, he is a wild man, and his singing strength is innate, let him make comments, he is really afraid of misleading people's children.

After Kim Taeyeon finished singing, Song Zheng just clapped her hands encouragingly, and it could be seen that Kim Taeyeon was a little disappointed with Song Zheng's reaction, and she originally thought that Song Zheng could give her some guidance on singing skills.

After Kim Taeyeon retreated, another girl stood up, judging from the appearance alone, the existence of this girl definitely lowered the overall appearance score.

It's not ugly, it's just ~~~~~~~

"This is Kim Hyo-yeon, her dancing prowess is the strongest among everyone!"

After listening to Li Xiuman's introduction, Song Zheng knew why this girl with an average appearance could stand here, in a group, there must always be different roles to play, just now that Kim Taeyeon is powerful in singing, this girl may really dance very well.

It's a pity that Song Zheng is a dance idiot, but even so, he can still feel that this girl dances very well, at least some movements, which are not easy for him, a fighting master, to make.

When these trainees showed their talents one by one, Li Xiuman was considering the conditions put forward by Song Zheng yesterday, sharing trainee resources, he had already agreed in his heart, anyway, S.M company has huge trainee resources, and it is impossible to arrange for everyone to debut, as long as the best ones are retained, the rest are shared with Song Zheng's company, it is nothing.

The only thing that made it difficult for Li Xiuman was that Song Zheng asked for a share of the profits of S.M's future entry into the Chinese market.

Of course, Li Xiuman also knows that if S.M wants to enter the Chinese market, it is impossible without the help of Chinese capital, and it is a fool's dream to hope to dominate all the benefits, even if it is not Song Zheng's company, it is the same to cooperate with another company, but Song Zheng's request for 50% is too much.

But despite this, Li Xiuman is still very eager to reach a cooperation with 1+1 companies, because the temptation of the Chinese market is too great.

Although the Korean Wave has long been popular in Southeast Asia, the Korean entertainment industry has never given up on entering the Chinese market.

Of course, there are also some people who think that Chinese mainland is too restrictive, but apart from Chinese mainland, where else can Hallyu survive!?

Other Asian countries and regions such as Hong Kong, Baodao, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, or North American markets such as the United States and Canada?

Li Xiuman also once analyzed this, first of all, let's talk about other parts of China, Xiangjiang and Baodao, from the perspective of entertainment, Xiangjiang's own entertainment culture is developed enough. Hong Kong films even used to be a model for South Korea to learn from the model, even if the influence of the Xiangjiang entertainment industry has declined in recent years, but self-sufficiency is completely fine, and it is needless to say how difficult it is to enter a stable market.

The entertainment and cultural strength of the Treasure Island region is slightly weaker than that of Xiangjiang, but this does not mean that South Korea can easily enter the Treasure Island market. Because the culture of the treasure island area is more influenced by Japan, the entertainment industry is greatly influenced by Japan, and the style of music and celebrities is very heavy, and the popularity of Japanese idols in the treasure island area is significantly higher than that of Korean stars.

Not to mention Japan, music and movies are in the leading position in Asia, and Japanese animation is the only one in the world that can compete with Disney and Pixar, and Japan has already boycotted the Korean wave, and the Korean wave hopes to enter the Chinese market because of the boycott by Japan.

The same applies to Ah Sange, although India has a large population, according to reason, there is a market, but the level of movies is far behind South Korea, in the final analysis, Korean films just take advantage of the government, and some topics are rising, Korean films are immediately at a loss, and the portrayal of human nature is not profound.

Singapore, it sounds very beautiful, but Singapore's market is so small that its own entertainment industry can't support it, how many people rely on the Chinese entertainment industry to live, and the same applies to Malaysia, these Southeast Asian countries, I'm afraid I can't earn back the ticket money if I go once.

The North American market, this is a bit of a fool's dream, although Li Xiuman also has the arrogance unique to Koreans, but he also has to admit that there are only two Asian countries that can really open the North American market, Japan and India.

Because these two countries have their own unique cultural symbols, which is what South Korea lacks the most, and Korean music can only be beaten in North America, South Korea's pop music ability moved from North America, shouting microphone-style K-pop and black hip-hop?

It is difficult for Japan to enter North America, and the only Asian group that has entered the mainstream music scene in North America is B'z.

Therefore, except for Chinese mainland, Hallyu can't go anywhere at all, there will be no such tolerant and enthusiastic land in the world as China, and if you abandon China, Hallyu can only close the door and hi yourself.

Similarly, while watching these girls show their talents, Song Zheng is also thinking about his heart, he is not as complicated as Li Xiuman, nor does he have as many eyes as Li Xiuman, what he thinks is very simple, that is, why Korean artists are so popular in China.

The so-called "Korean Wave" has only been around a decade since its rise to the present, and the first generation of Hallyu since the mid-to-late 90s of the last century began to enter Chinese mainland, when it was mainly based on film and television content such as TV dramas.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the popularity of Korean culture, which is dominated by celebrities such as idol singers, can be called the second generation of Hallyu.

Nowadays, the influence of Hallyu in China is only spread through the Internet, but Song Zheng knows that soon, the special cultural carrier of Hallyu will explode with huge energy, especially in 2011, with the popularity of "Uncle Bird"'s "Gangnam Style" in the world, "Hallyu" gradually surpassed Asia and became a global cultural phenomenon.

A large number of Korean variety shows have been introduced by satellite TV stations in Chinese mainland, and the TV series "The Inheritors" and "You from the Star" have set off a ratings boom in China, causing a new round of "Korean Wave" outbreak.

Compared with previous generations of Hallyu, the new wave of Hallyu that has become popular since 2010 has become increasingly diverse in terms of content, including not only dramas, songs and dances, but also Korean food, fashion, and games. With the development of social networks, the spread channels of Hallyu are becoming more and more extensive.

The reason why South Korea's entertainment culture can be so successful, in Song Zheng's view, is first of all because the Korean cultural industry is very competitive.

In addition to the three major broadcasters KBS, MBC, and SBS, there are many cable television stations in Korea.

In China, CCTV has more resources than local satellite TV, but in South Korea, national and local TV stations are on a completely equal playing field, unlike in China.

Therefore, under the fierce competition, only good works can occupy the market, so TV stations and TV practitioners will continue to innovate and launch new works.

In the fierce competition, program producers will also consider the tastes of the audience more. Korean TV dramas are often dramas that will be broadcast next week, and filming will start this week, and the screenwriter will make timely changes to the script according to the audience's reaction, and the audience will also have a feeling of participating in the creation.

This is also different from China, where Chinese TV dramas often have written the script first, and at least a year has passed since the script was produced, so of course it is impossible to respond to current events and audience preferences in a timely manner.

In addition to fierce internal competition, the opening up of the cultural market is also one of the important reasons why Hallyu has become competitive in the world.

In the past, South Korea insisted on a quota system for domestic films, and all movie theaters must screen Korean films for at least 106 days a year, until this year, during the negotiation process to promote the establishment of a Korea-US free trade area, the number of screening days for Korean films was significantly reduced to 73 days.

At the time, many film practitioners believed that Korean films might not survive after the quota for domestic films was reduced, so they expressed strong opposition.

But later it turned out that Korean films not only did not die, but also exceeded 100 million viewers a year, opening an era in which Korean films with a domestic film share of more than 60% were blooming.

Until 1998, South Korea did not accept Japanese popular culture in order to protect the Korean mass culture market, and it was only from 1998 to 2004 that the popular culture market was opened to Japan four times.

In the early days of the opening, many people worried that Japan's J-Pop would scorch the Korean music scene, but it turned out that this was nothing more than unfounded fears, and now Korean K-Pop is becoming very popular in the Japanese market, which is probably the result that no one expected.

Of course, the prosperity of South Korea's cultural industry is also inseparable from the government's strong support, small countries and widows, lack of resources, want to develop their own economy, the cultural industry is undoubtedly the best choice, successive South Korean government rulers have put culture in the work of the government in an extremely important position.

The Korean government even has an artist welfare system that does not exist in other countries, and uses money from the government budget to set up an artist welfare fund to provide basic living guarantees for artists with a certain level of artistic standards and achievements, low or no income, so that these artists can continue to create with security.

In order to support the development of the domestic cultural industry, the South Korean government has also made other efforts, such as supporting talent training, implementing preferential tax reduction policies for companies engaged in the cultural industry, and investing in potential cultural projects through the establishment of foundations.

South Korea also attaches great importance to copyright protection, without which the cultural industry will not be able to develop benignly, and South Korea is very strict in the legal provisions and management of copyright protection, and has educated its citizens on intellectual property protection since childhood.

Compared with China, which is full of piracy, South Korea is a small place that can really be called a paradise for people in the entertainment industry.

It is precisely because of these protective measures that the Korean cultural industry has maintained a strong momentum of development, and this year, the overall economic growth rate of South Korea has remained at the level of 3%~4%, and the growth rate of the cultural industry can reach 7%~8%.

The government's support, parliamentary legislation, businessmen's investment, and artists' creativity have contributed to the prosperity of Korea's cultural industry.

Song Zheng really didn't know so much before, and all he knew was what Gao Xiaosong told him in the hotel yesterday, which also made him really start to face up to this neighbor's entertainment industry.

The Hallyu has a strong vitality for these reasons, so why are those Hallyu stars so popular in China!?

Seeing these girls today, Song Zheng completely understands that stars are glamorous on the stage, but in order to get this opportunity to stand on the stage, their experience before their debut is very hard, so objectively, the strength of Korean group stars is one of the best in Asia.

To be honest, Korean stars are much more bitter than Chinese stars, it is not easy to go from trainee to debut, and the training is very hard, so those who can debut are very powerful, and with the advent of the draft era in China, many people become famous overnight, and their strength cannot be compared with the professional level at all.

Secondly, South Korea's brokerage companies are indeed very good at packaging artists, which has to be admired, both in terms of image and strength, like this S.M company, Song Zheng also learned about it yesterday, its artists are very popular, K-pop style music is really good, and Korean dance is also quite good.

There are actually a lot of talents in China, but there is a lack of economic companies like South Korea to systematically cultivate, and Song Zheng doesn't think that those young people in China can endure this hardship, after all, with the huge influence caused by Mango Satellite TV's "Super Girl", those young people with star dreams already have a shortcut to take, who is willing to work hard as a trainee?

Thinking of this, Song Zheng also has the same mind as Li Xiuman, feeling that this cooperation must be promoted, the company must develop, and the newcomer must be withdrawn, but if you rely on your own training, it is too troublesome, and secondly, the children in China may not be able to suffer from this, if you can cooperate with S.M company, it will be different, with the help of the other party's successful training system, maybe you can really cultivate a heavenly group.

More than a dozen girls have been shown, and no one has left too deep an impression on Song Zheng, except for a small man who has just performed coquettishly.

What's there to show for this thing!

Song Zheng looked at the girl's right hand clenched into a fist next to her face, her eyes watery and released a little love, and when she finally said the words "Pikachu" in a very peculiar voice, he really almost couldn't help but punch him.

"Mr. Song, what do you think of the strength of these children?"

So so!

This is Song Zheng's true thoughts, but he also knows that these girls are going to debut as idol groups, and it is already very good to reach this level of strength, and there is no need to force it.

After all, now is an era of looking at faces, except for Jin Xiaoyuan, who just danced, the other girls are at least very pleasing in appearance, plus the long legs, which attracted the eyeballs of the sling, there is no problem at all.

"Yes, it is worthy of being cultivated by S.M Company!" Song Zheng did not forget to praise Li Xiuman, last night through Gao Xiaosong's popular science, he already knew Li Xiuman's status in this company, and he understood the weight of this company in Li Xiuman's heart.

Sure enough, Li Xiuman was very happy and proud when he heard this, and continued: "Then, as a senior, please ask Mr. Song to give some advice to these children, which will become their most valuable wealth in the future." ”

Song Zheng also knew that he couldn't hide, especially when Li Xiuman repeated to those girls in Korean, and met the expectant eyes of the girls, he knew that if he didn't say something today, he might not be able to get out of this door.

Thinking quickly, Song Zheng was silent for a while, looked at these girls, and said, "I have nothing to teach you, so I'll give you four words, work hard, work hard!"

Bang bang bang!

I'll go!

There is still applause here, the tall and fat man can see that Lao Tzu is perfunctory, and he is trying not to laugh!
