Chapter 132: Family Concert (1)
Like the Wind and Rain, HOT won two of the five key awards at the end of the year in South Korea, but they did not get the honor, on the contrary, they received a large number of fans, and even SBS and MBC became the target of everyone's crusade. On the other hand, DES was widely recognized as deserving of the five awards, and in such an atmosphere, FTF's bizarre gold record was not what everyone was interested in, and in this case, the family concert with DSP was scheduled on December 26.
For DSP, this year's launch of Crystal Boy was a failure, not only did they not get a year-end award, but even the new album released was blown off the stage after three weeks of popular songs under the HOT offensive. At this time, President Sun already knew that it would be difficult to compete with the two major brokerage companies if he relied on Crystal Boy, so he decided to let Crystal Boy mainly go to Japan for development, and focus on Fin.K.L, and this family concert provided an opportunity to promote Fin.K.L and see if there was an opportunity to save Crystal Boy.
"Since we are co-organizing a family concert with a competitive nature, I think President Liu should be clear about the rules, we each have two groups, and each group has to perform its own songs and the songs of the corresponding group of the other party. Generally speaking, the level of the original song is definitely better than that of the cover, and the strength of the combination is evaluated according to the size of the difference. ”
After listening to President Sun's rules, King nodded and said, "This way is good, everyone in the girl group is four people, so it's easier to deal with." But in terms of the men's group, the wind and rain are only two people, and the crystal boy is five people, the number is not equal, the crystal boy can draw two people to perform the song of the wind and rain group, but how do we use two people to perform the song of five people? ”
"This shouldn't be difficult, right?" President Sun said slyly, "All the groups have lead dancers and lead singers, and the others are just as a cooperation, and when the time comes, DES will find two or three people to participate in the group confrontation, which should not be a difficult thing for a first-class brokerage company." ”
"Oh?" King can understand President Sun's thoughts, there are only two male artists in the DES company, and the others must be weaker than others, so his chances of winning will be much greater, at this time he saw Lee Hyori who was worried next to President Sun, "Okay then," he replied to President Sun as if he could, and said to Lee Hyori, "Hyori, I haven't seen you for a long time, but it looks like we can see each other every day next month." ”
If you don't count it on TV, and occasionally see it from afar, you haven't been able to be together face-to-face since we were separated in Shanghai. Although the two are now rival companies, this does not hide Lee Hyori's longing for King. On the surface, she doesn't seem to care about him at all, but in private, she has collected all kinds of news from King, and she knows more than ordinary people from Zifeng, Yutian, and even FTF.
But this hateful guy, when he was in China, he still claimed to be hostile in business, but he was still a partner in private, and he didn't contact each other for half a year? As soon as we met today, I laughed at myself at the first place, which was really even more hateful. It's just that President Sun's mention is really not very good, and he doesn't know that in the DES company, Zifeng and Yutian have always been the worst dancers among the boys, and King himself and the director James are the real dance masters.
President Sun really doesn't know King's dancing strength, it's not surprising, King hasn't performed in public, and an old-fashioned president like President Sun certainly doesn't pay attention to intelligence collection like Li Xiuman, so the duel began, and the first to play was the women's group.
The basic strength of the women's group is very clear, if it is said that two years ago, the strength of FTF is not worth mentioning, even if it is on stage, it can only be said that it has affected the image of the stage, but after a year and a half of guidance, FTF is no longer Wuxia Amon, and the strength level has improved very quickly. Although King always reprimanded them for not being strong enough to use the dance music he had written, by this time, they were not too far from that goal.
As for FIN.K.L, Lee Hyo-ri's dancing level cannot be questioned, and Fin.K.L's Ok Joo-hyun and Sung Yoo-ri are also very potential trainees, but they have a weakness, that is, in Lee Jin. Lee Hyo-ri has always thought that King has a hostile attitude towards Fin.K.L, so he ignores it, but this is actually incorrect, considering that all three of the people in Fin.K.L are actually chosen by King, and he is of course very concerned about this new combination. And there is also a biggest spy Kim Tae-hee there, he knows exactly how far fin.k.l can go, and what the specific level is, and even the CD of their usual training is in his office.
Li Zhen is the only person in FIN.K.L who has not been screened by King, and there is a reason why she will be called a "stiff elf" in the future, that is, her dance steps are too rigid and she does not dance in sync. This feature even runs through the entire Fin.K.L era, and she is often given a relatively simple part when she is rehearsing, but since it is now in the competition stage, how could King let go of such an opportunity? Moreover, the current fin.k.l has the same weakness as SES at that time, that is, the team does not have enough time to run in, and there are still problems in mutual cooperation.
As juniors and trainees, Fin.K.L was of course the first to appear, and the song they chose was a lyrical love song, "To My Boyfriend", which was specially customized for their debut and did not belong to the dance music category. King nodded secretly, it seems that the DSP's positioning of fin.k.l's first album is very correct, unlike Lee so-man's dance music competition with FTF at the beginning, which made a dismal exit.
Another benefit of choosing this song as the competition song is that it is not easy to be surpassed. The lyrical song is the original song at any time, and the four of Fin.K.L are obviously very good at practicing on it, and the performance is very outstanding, which attracts applause and support from the employees of both companies.
King took the lead in applauding, "President Sun, this is an album song in preparation, right?" Sure enough, it's very good, it's like singing to me, I've been fascinated, and I feel how happy it would be if I could become their boyfriend, it's really a good song, and it will definitely be successful. ”
"Well," President Sun nodded, "That's how we're positioned, so it's FTF's turn to perform this song next, right?" ”
"No problem, Lee Jung-hye, you go to take Lee Hyo-ri's position, Park Ok-yeon, you go to take Ok Joo-hyun's position, Yoon Tae-sook, you go to Lee Jin's position, and Jang Young-soon, you go to Sung You-ri's position." When watching the four-person performance, King had already compared his artists to them, arranging for them to perform in the most suitable positions. The FTF four were already very familiar with the song just now, and now they have become very professional dancers, and the four quickly adapted to the characteristics of the four original singers.
FTF is now a famous Korean award group, to say that it may take a long time to learn a dance music, but lyrical songs, there is really no difficulty for them, President Sun saw them start to perform and knew that it was indeed too difficult for them to break on this song, FTF's performance is very close to the original song of fin.k.l, it is difficult to distinguish between the good and the bad.
"It's really a top girl group in Korea," said President Sun, "It's not easy to get this effect after only two or three rehearsals." ”
"They have been training for a year and a half, and if they can't play the songs of a girl group that has just been formed, they will not be far from disbanding." King said indifferently, which made Lee Hyo-ri even more annoyed.
"So next, it's the Wind and Rain Gang performing their tracks, right? Don't know which one to perform? ”
"I'm afraid you don't remember the song very clearly, and the dance like the Phantom Dance is obviously suspected of bullying people with technology. Well, let's go with our latest single. ”
When President Sun heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, this President Liu was obviously ridiculing people. Phantom Dance is indeed the dance music that Crystal Boy fears the most, and the Phantom Dance steps they have trained for a long time have not been able to meet the requirements. But the recent one doesn't work.,It's a dance music made by King himself.,The quality of the song alone surpasses the Phantom Dance.,And it's specially used to suppress the dance music of the Crystal Boy.,Where can it be imitated lightly?
(After the Korea Music Awards, a family concert was held jointly by DSP and DES, and in the first round, fin.k.l's song "For My Boyfriend" was successfully imitated by the powerful FTF, and in the second round, King posed a difficult problem to President Sun.) )
