Of course, if Li Xiuman hadn't gone to inquire and inquire, Phoebe might not know the real purpose of his trip to the United States, after all, Phoebe hadn't been so mad that even people outside Titan had to be fully monitored—well, in fact, it's not that she doesn't want to, but she can't do it yet.

This is because in the current human life, it is not possible to make a person completely defenseless in a surveillance environment, unless Phoebe opens up the technology of Titan and opens the experience assistance system of Asteria to all mankind, no one wants to enter this monitoring mechanism.

Of course, from another point of view, Phoebe's idea is that except for Titan, other human beings have no value of being monitored in all directions, even if there is an information delay as a result, it will not cause her essential harm, but will make the Titan people more dependent on her as a leader because of the loss caused by the information delay - just like at any time, the United States needs to find an enemy for the people, so Phoebe naturally will not let the Titan people have no sense of crisis.

In addition to Titan, the new power group composed of the diplomatic bloc as the core is itself a variety of scattered small families and even individuals who are about to or have been squeezed out of the upper circle by other upper-level forces, so at least within two generations, the sense of crisis of these people is no problem, and she does not need to deliberately create it, and others will naturally surround Titan.

But in any case, Titan, and even the new group built around Titan, is only one in 10,000 in the entire human society, so in any case, Phoebe cannot achieve comprehensive surveillance.

Of course, if Phoebe wants to, it is not impossible to focus on monitoring the company's top management, but if she really organizes resources to monitor, then many people will focus on Sall the company, focusing on Girls' Generation, which is not a good thing for Girls' Generation, of course, although Phoebe does not think much of the seniors in the company, but in Phoebe's view, it is precisely because she did not take the approach of comprehensive monitoring of the company, but it makes the seniors like Girls' Generation, get the same as Girls' Generation, and will not be used as a prop that can be used, and escaped a more tragic fate, so she is kind to the company's seniors, just because she hasn't done anything.

Based on this mindset – which, of course, is clearly a kind of bandit logic in the eyes of the average person – Phoebe is justified in everything, and even wants to put her hands on a new group that will debut next month, and it's no surprise that she is just as confident.

"If you weren't involved, you should have had fun. ”

In Phoebe's thinking, she thinks that this is respecting her seniors, after all, she didn't cause her seniors to bear the responsibility and attention that they are not qualified to bear at all, and they are not capable of carrying, doesn't this just show that she is still quite humane and respectful of her seniors?

Of course, Phoebe can only laugh at the incomprehension of outsiders and Girls' Generation about her "disrespect" predecessors, pretending that "I can't trust outsiders because of the face recognition barrier", after all, many things can't be explained clearly to the sisters, because once explained, it is difficult to say whether the sisters' future vision is still Girls' Generation, and at this point, Phoebe must ensure that everyone is on the right path - that is, let Sister Young's personal dream.

It can be said that Phoebe created the impression that Girls' Generation was her little toy on the one hand, and on the other hand, she also succeeded in hiding Sister Sun with the help of Girls' Generation, and if the members of Girls' Generation began to split and Phoebe still followed Sunny, it would obviously make Sunny extremely conspicuous, and at that time, anyone could see that Sunny was Phoebe's weakness.

Therefore, Phoebe must maintain the unity of Girls' Generation no matter what, and anything that will cause the team to split, Phoebe will ruthlessly strangle.

This is what Phoebe has been trying to do since she joined Girls' Generation - that is, to make her sisters unable to see what she really thinks, and to make her sisters think that it is natural to maintain unity.

In the same way, just as Saman himself felt that the company itself had inexplicably given Phoebe a lot of privileges, Phoebe was also privileged in her girlhood.

According to the contract, Phoebe can choose whether to take a single trip or not, and the fact that she left the group during the GEE period and went to South America to participate in the Dakar Rally has a special purpose for her sisters to get used to her - of course, the psychological impact of this time Phoebe is purely instilled in her sisters slightly.

And it seems a lot more logical to only let her sisters participate in the Youth Choice Awards, and she doesn't participate.

Of course, as before, Phoebe didn't hide what she was going to do—at least not from her sisters, but both she and Barbara asked everyone to keep it a secret, after all, it was too unlikely that the British nobility would remain in Girlhood, in Phoebe's exact words: "I'm greedy, that's the only person in the world who still has a blood connection with me...... However, I also like girlhood and my sisters very much, so my sisters must help me hide it, and I can't even tell the company ......"

In fact, according to Barbara's assumption, Phoebe would not tell the members of Girls' Generation, but Phoebe made a decision that once again stunned her, but it also deepened Barbara's impression that she should never use mortal wisdom to speculate on Phoebe.

Of course, after Phoebe told her sisters about her upcoming succession, there is another benefit, in Phoebe's opinion, her sisters are likely to show cowardice at the Teen Choice Award ceremony, and in the American entertainment industry, cowardice is the biggest original sin, which is even the same crime as drug abuse.

Therefore, Phoebe arranged to let Barbara borrow jewelry and dresses to cultivate nobility for her sisters, but in fact, it is only the first step, so that the sisters understand that their teammates are nobles, which is the second part of Phoebe's influence on the mentality of her sisters.

As for whether this will cause her sisters to become arrogant from now on, Phoebe naturally will not worry, after all, at this time, the British aristocracy is not as noble as it was two centuries ago, and the hereditary nobility is at most a little advantaged by blood.

The most important thing is that the sisters all solemnly promised her that they would not leak the news to anyone, including their own families.

Maintaining a secret will unite a team, and the more advanced the secret, the closer the unity will come, so in a way, Phoebe really made a far more effort for the unity of Girls' Generation than anyone else.

And her efforts will never be known to the outside world, let alone appreciated for it - of course, Phoebe doesn't mind that.

In the eyes of many people, Phoebe has always been the one who needs to be taken care of by her sisters for everything, and her background is pitiful and self-reliant at the same time. In the eyes of another wave of people, Phoebe needs a place to relax and play, and Girlhood happened to be chosen by her......

"As you all know by now, because of the economic contract, Saman and Universal Music are not the same long-term position for you. As far as Universal Music's analysis is concerned, Korean idol groups generally begin to become the role of collecting investment returns between three and four years after their debut, although you are still only debuting for nearly two years, but after Universal Music's analysis, President Kim's management reform, and Saman's continued expansion of cooperation with other international brokerage companies, Saman must hand over an asset statement that satisfies investors in terms of profitability, therefore, your debut, a combination that has been in the industry for less than two years, must also join the work of making a lot of profits for the company。 ”

In the conference room of a hotel in JN District, Barbara, under the watchful eyes of Girls' Generation members and the main person in charge of Girls' Generation's brokerage team, spoke passionately in English - don't worry about everyone not understanding, you can follow along with what you can understand, and if you don't understand, you can also get the translated version of Barbara's speech.

"In this matter, Universal Music believes that the singing group of Girls' Generation will not be able to recoup the funds by entering the concert too early, after all, the concert will lead to a complete stereotyping of your image, and it will also expose some problems that have not been exposed before, for example, there are always people in the team who are not good at singing, and they still need to continue training. ”

When Barbara said this, she didn't look at anyone in particular, but several members who are not good at singing still stuck out their tongues, especially Yuna, who wanted to practice a hoarse voice in order to act a while ago, hid behind Jessica.

"Universal Music believes that there is still the possibility for your team to further explore its potential. Therefore, Universal Music is still a little unhappy to see you hold concerts so early, but this does not mean that Universal Music is opposed to the idea of Saman letting you go on an Asian tour, after all, except for South Korea, concerts in other regions will be organized and coordinated by Universal Music. So, in this matter, Universal Music's attitude is that since it is irrevocable, it is better to help Saman Company make this tour more important and let more people notice you. Therefore, Universal Music has to use some means to build your reputation so that the tour region will pay more attention to you. ”

Phoebe sat with her sisters, watching Barbara stare at her and talk nonsense—of course, this set of rhetoric was actually from Phoebe—and after hearing Barbara say increase in attention, Phoebe nodded with the same expression as her sisters.

That's right, in fact, Barbara is now explaining to the members of Girls' Generation why they were nominated for the Teen Choice Award, but not musically.

Barbara naturally saw Phoebe's expression and movements, which made her almost laugh, Barbara quickly turned her head to look at Kim Doo-seok and several core assistants of the team, and continued:

"But, as you know, very few teenagers in the U.S. listen to Korean songs, unless they have Koreans among their friends, and of course, this means that all your music is not accepted by the American entertainment market at all. In order to increase your attention, Universal Music has to make a decision that may lead to your status being lowered - to promote you as reality TV stars first. At this point, please believe that Universal Music is just a helpless move on this part, after all, as I just said, you started touring really early, and many of the plans to get you to log on to the world stage have not even started working. ”

"You may say that you have English songs, but in the eyes of native English speakers, some of your English songs are not very attractive, and many of the lyrics are sung without emotion, and because of this, people do not want to listen to them. Therefore, at this stage, that is, when the English adaptation rights of your songs are firmly grasped by the company, Universal Music cannot better package and introduce you to the audience. ”

"Therefore, borrowing the channel of reality TV stars to let more viewers know you first has become the only option. However, you must remember that you are not reality TV stars, but singers who have been officially selected and trained to make their debut, so in addition to the point that you have been allowed to cultivate nobility before, you must also remember that this time you go to the United States, everyone's behavior will affect the future of Girls' Generation, you must show a neither humble nor arrogant attitude towards other American artists, even if you don't understand what they say at all, you must maintain your own manners, and you must not expose any cowardly behavior. ”

Barbara's words made a few people who could understand English nod their heads again and again, and of course, everyone also understood the reason why Barbara was so eager to organize this meeting according to the translation manuscript in hand.

"So, going to the United States this time is the biggest test of all your skills, and Jessica, Tiffany, and Sunny, the three of you will have a very heavy task, and you must always keep an eye on the other members and remind them not to act timidly because they can't understand English. In addition, according to the information that Universal Music has, after you walk the red carpet and enter the venue, that is, during the awards ceremony, you will be given a total of about seven minutes of footage, so you must be careful to show that you are serious about the awards ceremony, but at the same time you must be indifferent. You have to make the people who see you on TV feel that your performance is much better than that of ordinary reality TV stars, and you are much more literate, only in this way can you cooperate with the later publicity and let the public change their perception that you are reality TV stars. ”

Everyone nodded again, including Phoebe, the initiator of everything, as if they understood something.

Barbara thought for a moment, and felt that Phoebe had let herself say everything she said, so she smiled and said in unskilled Korean: "Don't think it's difficult, I think you can do it, anyway, your ability to resist pressure is higher than many Hollywood stars." ”

Seeing Barbara smiling and speaking Korean, the emotions of the Girls' Generation people relaxed a lot, what Barbara said in English just now, it really made them feel a lot of pressure, after all, this is asking them to go to the United States to perform at the awards ceremony - in fact, what the members of Girls' Generation don't know is that Phoebe also asked Barbara to contact Universal Music, and Li Xiuman, who inquired about the news in the United States, was also dizzy......
