The failure of the debut album of the girl group KRA launched by DSP was seen by all those who care, and Lee so-man also saw it, and he dreamed of their appearance, which not only filled the gap of the current Korean girl group, but also led a new direction for the development of a girl group. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 It is clear that such a time has not yet come.
After the promotion period of BIGBANG's album, Lee so-man had to start arranging SJ's albums, and in the previous months, the group of big boys had been running around on variety shows and TV dramas, and the company wanted to shoot an idol movie based on them.
TVXQ's album in Japan has also been recorded, including the filming of the MV, which has been edited in the post-production step and will soon be released, including their concert in Japan, so after they completed the filming of the Korean program, they began to return to Japan.
A week after Han Geng returned to South Korea, Lee so-man looked at the company's analysis report in the office, not only analyzing the domestic music market in China in detail, but also making an assessment of Han Geng and Lee Seung-hyun's popularity in China.
As TVXQ's development in Japan, SJ's status in Li Xiuman's mind is getting higher and higher, at least he didn't expect that SJ would achieve such good results, and the speed would be so fast, if SJ was not an artist under S.M, Li Xiuman doubted that he would do something? Although it violates its own principles of doing things, it is better than being seized of the market. BigBang also began to make a name for itself, but SS501 was put into the ring in Japan and TVXQ.
Because TVXQ wants to consolidate the Japanese market, the release of SJ's second album this year will be greatly delayed, I'm afraid it won't be until after the filming of that idol movie is completed, which is a bit different from the decision at the meeting at the beginning of the year, Li Xiuman plans to release a mini album or EP for SJ, although it seems that S.M company does not pay enough attention to SJ, but Li Xiuman's promotion of SJ has not relaxed at all, postponing the release of the album, and it can also be promoted through variety shows.
Little, Lee Seung-hyun, Donghae and prodigy, respectively in M and KBS TV, served as the MC of the radio DJ and children's programs, although the first time to work as a MC, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the early stage, but they can better exercise their on-the-spot reaction ability, which is a very good training process for them to participate in important variety shows in the future, after all, there are no conditions in the company for them to learn.
Kim Hee-cheol and Yesheng work as DJs for midnight programs on the radio, and both of them have excellent voices, and I heard that the response is also very good, especially Kim Hee-cheol's popularity, which can be said to be the highest in SJ.
"Everyone has been traveling a lot lately, how do you feel, and what have you learned?" Li Xiuman put down the materials in his hand and came to the special practice room of SJ at this time, and it was rare for all the members of SJ to be there.
If there is no conflict in the itinerary on weekdays, Li Xiuman requires SJ to train together, after all, it is a large group of thirteen people, and cultivating tacit understanding is not an overnight thing, and it is necessary to train together often.
"I was nervous at first, but now it's much better, and although it's a little harder, it's really interesting, especially in terms of on-the-spot reactions." Little, who is both the captain of the team and one of the first people in SJ to work as an MC, was the first to answer Lee so-man's questions.
"Oh, yes! MC work is really interesting, man, I'm very popular now! The prodigy smiled, and there was basically a slit left in those eyes, which were not big in the first place. But the prodigy's words are not boasting, after he served as the MC of the children's variety show, I heard that the current ratings have increased slightly compared to before, and the role of the prodigy cannot be ignored, and it is a fact that he is popular.
"Cut! Are you popular? That's because I didn't go to MC, or else you would have had to worry about it here. "The one who squeezed the prodigy was the good-looking Cui Siyuan in the group.
As one of the most popular members of SJ, and even more so in the image of SJ, Lee so-man did not arrange Choi Si-won to work as MC or DJ, but was ready to fight for him to star in film and television. also has the performance in Chinese movies as soon as he debuts. In this regard, he is still a little unappreciative, especially until now, he has not had much opportunity to show up, and he is somewhat jealous of the work of Little and the prodigy.
"You kid, be honest with me, don't think I don't know what you think, the company now lets you learn about acting, use more of your own heart, each of you has different developments, and you will slowly understand in the future!" Li Xiuman looked at them who were fighting, and turned around to laugh and scold Cui Siyuan.
Li Xiuman actually knows very well in his heart that there are some small problems within SJ now. There are people who work as MCs for TV stations, and there are people who not only serve as DJs for radio stations, but also TV dramas. But there are also people who have nothing to do, and it is normal to have some complaints in their hearts, and forcibly suppressing them cannot solve the fundamental problem, and getting everyone busy as soon as possible is the best solution.
"Origin of you, in addition to continuing to learn to perform recently, you have also strengthened your physical exercise, and after a while, I will arrange for you to participate in the shooting of several print advertisements, and you may also participate in the costume catwalk, don't drop the chain at that time." Because Li Xiuman has not been able to get a suitable film and television opportunity for SJ, he contacted a few well-connected businesses to let these idle and panicked boys have something to do.
"Teacher, is it true? That's great! Cui Siyuan and a few others immediately came to their senses, including Han Geng, who is usually very low-key, and his eyes were also shining at this time.
After all, looking at several other teammates, who were so busy working all day, but a few of them had nothing to do, and they were somewhat questioning their own strength, and now they finally had the opportunity to prove themselves, and the emotions of the group of people immediately rose.
"Do I need to lie to you? Boy, dare to question the company in the future, be careful that this is your last chance. Li Xiuman gave Cui Siyuan a threatening tone, making the other party immediately well-behaved like a little sheep.
"Seung-hyun, your popularity has been good recently, the advertisement that the company arranged for you separately has recently adjusted its state, and the one you cooperate with is a senior, so you can learn more when the time comes." Lee so-man turned his head and said to Lee Seung-hyun, who had not spoken to the side.
Lee Seung-hyun was stunned when he heard Lee so-man's words, it seems that the advertisement between himself and Rain should be arranged by Lee so-man, this is not only a matter of income, but also the company's recognition of his ability, although he has always been a little dissatisfied with the status quo, but he still said to Lee so-man very respectfully:
"Thank you, Director! I'm sure I'm going to pay attention, I've been in touch with each other lately, and I've learned a lot. When he spoke, Lee Seung-hyun's eyes revealed a hint of desire for success, which made Lee so-man feel satisfied, Lee so-man had seen his recent itinerary and knew that he not only had to take care of his studies and schedule, Jung Jae-jung once asked himself, what was the arrangement for Lee Seung-hyun.
"That's good, the company has expectations for you, and I hope you don't let the company down." Lee so-man pondered for a while, patted Lee Seung-hyun on the shoulder, and said.
Although Lee Seung-hyun has not debuted with SJ for a long time, many fans know that this quiet-looking boy does not show off many times, as if he is foiling his teammates in the group, but he occasionally shows his side in the show!
"SJ's mission this year is to continue to expand its self-promotion and strengthen the market and increase popularity. Because TVXQ's album is going to be released before the summer vacation, your album may have to be released after the movie, so you don't have to think about it. Moreover, the company has decided to shoot an idol movie for you. After Li Xiuman finished speaking, he looked at the sj people, everyone's expressions were very natural, and it seemed that there should be no unpleasant thoughts in his heart, which made Li Xiuman more comfortable.
Although Li Xiuman's feelings for TVXQ are deeper, he doesn't want to chill the hearts of SJ boys, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, so don't let there be any estrangement between the two groups, this kind of thing is only considered by him, the president, and the senior management of other companies is definitely not so careful.
"This year, we will consolidate the popularity of South Korea, and next year, your group will also start to develop overseas." When Li Xiuman said this, his eyes turned to Han Geng and Lee Seung-hyun, who were sitting in the farthest distance, so that the two of them didn't know why for a while.
"Next year, SJ's overseas targets will be the Chinese market and the Japanese market. In due course, Lee Seung-hyun and Han Geng will be the pioneers of your combination to test the waters of the Chinese market. When Han Geng heard this, he and Lee Seung-hyun glanced at each other, even if the two had talked before, they understood that their future was in China, and when they heard Li Xiuman's words, they were still surprised.
"Teacher, are we going to China for development? It's really great! Han Geng suddenly stood up excitedly and waved his arms vigorously, and the Korean members of SJ all turned their eyes, obviously unable to understand his excited mentality. And Lee Seung-hyun understands Han Geng's mood at the moment.
It's no wonder that Han Geng is so excited, since he was alone as a trainee in South Korea, Han Geng has gone through how much hard work to get to today's results, these are not things that Lit, Yinhe, and other Korean trainees can understand. Because no matter how tired and hard they are, they can go home every week to reunite with their families and calm their physical and mental exhaustion, but Han Geng can only stay in the dormitory in a daze, or continue training in the practice room, and occasionally make a phone call home to relieve his homesickness.
I heard that the company is going to return to China for development next year, Han Geng's mood at the moment can no longer be described as excited, it should be extremely excited. Lee Seung-hyun understands that the company intends to open up the Chinese market, which is undoubtedly an advantage for the two of them, just as the Korean members have an advantage over them in South Korea.
"Yes, next year SJ will not only go to China to develop, but also to Japan. However, because you still have MC and DJ jobs, you have to return to Korea immediately after you have a short time with the team to promote. Li Xiuman's words made Han Geng feel lost, thinking that he would not stay in China for too long, maybe he could only have a few meals with his family, but he didn't hear what Li Xiuman meant.
"After you leave~~~ Han Geng?" Li Xiuman found that Han Geng's mental state was not normal, as if he was a little distracted, and shouted the other party's name loudly, hoping that he could concentrate.
"I'm sorry teacher, I got distracted!" Han Geng got up and bowed to Li Xiuman and apologized. After all, the director is speaking, but his mind doesn't know where to go, which is very rude in South Korea, that is, Li Xiuman is very kind to everyone on weekdays, and he doesn't care too much about these, if he was in another economic company, he would have been corporal punishment a long time ago, and Han Geng knew these things very well.
"After Litt and the others returned to South Korea, SJ was officially divided into two teams. One is that Little's variety show team is active in South Korea; The other is the performance team, which is led by Han Geng when it is active in China. In this regard, your identity advantage is obvious, you have to make good use of it, promote SJ, promote the company, and introduce some Chinese customs and habits to your teammates, so as not to have some unnecessary misunderstandings, understand? Li Xiuman's tone of speech to Han Geng was very solemn, after all, after the detachment activities, many things in China, the company could not take care of, and Han Geng and Li Chengxuan, two native Chinese, needed to pay more attention.
At this time, Han Geng finally understood what Li Xiuman meant, and the happiness in his heart spontaneously appeared. After the detachment activities, it was a great fit for him, he could have a lot of time to spend with his family, and he would get more opportunities than in Korea. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at Lee Seung-hyun, only to see Lee Seung-hyun nodding as if he understood what he said.
"Thank you, teacher! I'll definitely try my best to do it well! Han Geng stood up and swore an oath.
"Okay, don't be like this, now your expression is compared to Xi Che, it's really unbearable! Work hard and make some achievements in China. Li Xiuman understood Han Geng's feelings, he really understood, but he didn't show anything, waved his hand and made a look of indifference, but Jin Xiche was full of displeasure when he mentioned it, and gave Li Xiuman a blank look.
"I don't have high demands on your 2 squads. Variety show team, you have to take advantage of the current opportunity to study hard, not only your own hosting work, but also think more about how to use your own conditions to create your own style, which is very important! Li Xiuman's tone made Litt and the others take it seriously, and they were also thinking about the meaning of Li Xiuman's words.
"The performance team has a higher level of requirements, not only to promote SJ itself, but also to improve the family image of S.M. Company, and to be careful about what they say and do when they are active overseas. In this regard, Han Geng, you have to be more attentive, don't let your teammates do anything rude, the Chinese branch will try to cooperate with you, but more importantly, you have to pay attention to yourself, people have to rely on themselves, I hope you understand the meaning of this sentence! Han Geng and the others also nodded seriously and said yes.
Li Xiuman looked at these boys and looked forward to it, how far will SJ develop next year?
