With the support of Lin Weiran, Park Jin-young's American plan was officially implemented. After signing all the agreements with the 'virtual idol', Park Jin-young took the plane that night to the United States. Under the order of Park Jin-young, the JYP headquarters began to deploy the follow-up of Wonder-Girls in South Korea, and if they want to fully achieve the purpose of the 'American Plan', Wonder-Girls must officially establish their status as the No. 1 girl group before leaving South Korea, so the content of the plan is exposure, unlimited and high-level exposure.

The plan was implemented quickly, and even made people feel unprepared, Lee so-man was right, Park Jin-young wanted Wonder-Girls to follow Rain's old path. Even if they don't live in China for a whole few months, as long as they find time to come back and release an album, they are still the No. 1 girl group in South Korea.

"Media attention is the core of Park Jin-young's plan, and the image of the first girl group is his first insurance. Without these two, those who leave are destined to be forgotten. ”

"Media attention can be grabbed by Girls' Generation itself, but the image of the first girl group is almost ingrained because of the retro trilogy, how to solve this?"

The meeting with Li Xiuman was expected, but the place of meeting made Lin Weiran confused. He watched Li Xiuman wander in front of the rows of hangers, and he didn't know why he chose to see him here.

Li Xiuman took out a school uniform, picked up the fabric with one hand and rubbed it, as if he was checking the texture of the fabric, but asked in his mouth: "What does Lin think the first girl group needs?" ”

What is needed? popularity, good works, company promotion, etc...... Seeing that Li Xiuman looked like he was obviously selling off, Lin Weiran kept his mouth shut and didn't answer.

"The first girl group needs to have no clear weaknesses."

"A definite weakness?"

"Yes, there needs to be no clear weaknesses in every aspect."

Lin Weiran frowned and thought carefully.

Li Xiuman explained his doubts: "Let me give you an analogy, if the South Korean No. 1 girl group in the eyes of Representative Lin is obviously not good at singing, can they still be the No. 1 girl group?" ”

Singing?

Idol groups still watch this?

Lin Weiran was puzzled: "If you sing skills, there is also lip syncing, although recently because of the problem of lip syncing, the public has asked the singer to be live, but the TV station still has a half-open microphone." The worst thing, as soon as the background sound is turned on, what else can be heard? The audience is not a music critic, and Korean dance music has always admired melody and stage effects, right? ”

"There's always a way."

Li Xiuman replied with a smile, and then didn't say more, turned his head to look at a pictorial on the wall, and asked: "Is the first advertisement for the newcomer of S.M, who knows that Lu Dao, is the first advertisement for Lu to make his debut is a school uniform CF?" ”

Don't talk about cooperation and say this? Lin Weiran was a little irritable. He had just sent off Park Zhenrong and confirmed the theme song, and he had already tied himself to Lee so-man's chariot. Now that November is halfway through, the original plan for the theme song to be released in early December must start choosing songs from now on, but the tepid S.M side is very incomprehensible to him. Isn't it time to prepare for a girlhood's comeback plan?

"Director Li, I think I've expressed enough sincerity, so don't sell anything to me anymore."

Lin Weiran's low tone didn't make Li Xiuman care, he just smiled, and then talked about his own business.

"I remember the first time I walked into a clothing store more than 20 years ago, when I had just graduated from junior high school, and I naturally came here to pick out a school uniform. The day I walked into the store, I saw a poster of the woman I didn't recognize, but I knew she was a star. ”

Li Xiuman looked at Lin Weiran and said with a smile: "Can you imagine the feeling of a teenager seeing a beautiful girl, and this beautiful girl suddenly occupies all your senses?" ”

Lin Weiran said with a straight face: "Director Li, I don't have time. ”…,

"Don't worry, Representative Lin, what I'm telling you now is the core concept of S.M's idol group." Li Xiuman put the school uniform back on the hanger.

"Does what you're talking about have anything to do with our next collaboration?"

"Since two people want to cooperate, how can they cooperate well if they don't understand each other?"

"I think S.M already knows enough about Shinhan."

"But I don't know enough about Representative Lin."

"Could it be that Director Li chooses to cooperate not because of his strength, but because of his understanding?"

"I'm here to make our results better."

One is anxious, the other is tepid, so that the two of them never seem to be able to talk together. Lin Weiran put on a poker face, very suspicious of Li Xiuman's unhurried and impatient attitude. If Wonder-Girls' departure from Korea is a girlhood opportunity, then there must be a best time for Wonder-Girls. Lin Weiran, who doesn't know how idol production, wants to know more details, but looking at Li Xiuman's appearance, it seems that he is planning to take him all the way around.

He patiently said: "The effect of cooperation depends on the plan. ”

Li Xiuman said seriously: "Planning depends on people, if Representative Lin doesn't understand the concept of S.M making idols, then this theme song will not be a part of our plan." ”

Lin Weiran blinked, after sending Park Zhenrong away, he never expected to encounter this situation.

"How long will it take for me to understand this idea?"

Li Xiuman glanced at his watch and replied, "About an hour." ”

The two of them left the store, did not get into the car, but scattered along the street. Lin Weiran was patient and walked beside Li Xiuman, completely unaware of what kind of medicine was sold in this gourd.

A teenage boy who gets his whole senses occupied by a pretty girl? Lin Weiran may have had this time, but he can't remember it anymore. Li Xiuman, an uncle in his forties, looks forward to his youth, it's not impossible, but it's wrong to say it.

The two of them arrive at a video store where the song No-Body is playing.

"The glimpse in the pictorial was not enough to completely move me, and I forgot about it two or three days later. After a year, it wasn't until I accompanied a friend to a video store that I learned that the girl was a singer. ”

Lee so-man is holding an album while talking, which is Big-Bang's debut album.

"Sales are not only profitable, but also a battlefield for publicity. The idea that fans want to buy albums is led by S.M, so the sales of idol group albums produced by S.M have always been among the best. There are no high school students in Korea who don't come to video stores except for a very small number of people, so it is a base for publicity, and because S.M's albums sell a lot, the owner will use S.M's music to attract customers, and even if they don't pay attention to S.M's groups, they can see and hear it here, even if they are fans of other groups. ”

Lee so-man put Big-Bang's album back in its place, turned back to Lin Weiran and said, "S.M has spent seven years doing this, so there is no other company in Korea that sells better than our company's artist albums." There may be exceptions, but they are only exceptions after all. ”

The two left the video store again and came to the nearest bus stop, where the posters on the advertising space were not idol groups, but two actors.

"I bought one of the girl's albums at the video store, but I'm not a star-chaser. After that, I found out that I would find her in many places, I knew her name, I heard her voice, radio, commercials, variety shows, I could see and hear her in many places, as if she had taken root in my life. Gradually, I developed a habit that when I was studying hard and when I was not satisfied, I would go to watch her programs and listen to her songs, because it would make me feel better. Since then, I've bought every album she's released because I can't find any other way to support her. I haven't been to her concert for many reasons, so I still regret it. ”…,

Li Xiuman looked at Lin Weiran and asked, "Can you imagine?" The person on a poster gradually enters your life, and then accompanies you through high school, college, and even the workplace. She doesn't need you to accompany her, she doesn't need you to manage the relationship with her, but she will be happy to see when you are unhappy, and you can use her to pass the time when you are bored......"

"Growth." Lin Weiran muttered suddenly.

Li Xiuman nodded: "Yes, an idol is a partner for growth." Although today's idols are no longer as simply happy as they were in the past, they are essentially the same. He is a Barbie doll that every girl can only see, and a beautiful girl that every teenager can only imagine. ”

Lin Weiran said: "It sounds a little ambiguous. ”

Li Xiuman said with a smile: "The word ambiguous is used well. ”

Lin Weiran asked, "Then what stage of growth do you think girlhood is now?" ”

Li Xiuman replied: "Growing up is always accompanied by labor pains, which is the same for everyone. In the past six months, it has been refrigerated and not clarified, in order to make this labor pain longer. When someone wants to get to know them in the future, they will not just be attracted by their appearance, but will gradually be attracted to their experiences. ”

"It doesn't matter if you connect the growth of idols with the growth of fans, even if you don't like them at first. Because these idols that fans have experienced have also experienced, as long as they understand it, they are not star-studded and sought after by thousands of people as soon as they stand on the stage, but have grown step by step to what they are today? ”

Lin Weiran blurted out the guess in her mind, and felt more and more that such an idol was a little different. They are no longer glamorous handsome men and women on the stage, and the sense of distance between them and the stage has been shortened a lot by the word 'growth' in an instant. This sensory proximity can even be said to have brought the heart to heart closer.

Realizing this, he vaguely thought of something, which was broken by Li Xiuman's words.

"In fact, the same can be true for 'virtual idols'."

Lin Weiran's eyes lit up, and Li Xiuman was right, 'virtual idols' can show this growth, so as to make users have a more sense of substitution. And reality is always more dramatic than life, and if the material can be taken smoothly, the new plot of 'virtual idol' will also be inexhaustible.

He thought a lot for a while, and was automatically woven down by Li Xiuman's open mind, and even faintly had a shape and structure.

Lin Weiran said vigilantly: "Why are you telling me this? ”

Li Xiuman said with a smile: "There are many young people in the producer industry every year, some of whom succeed and some of whom fail. Since Representative Lin has succeeded, this should be regarded as a gift of kindness from me. ”

Lin Weiran was skeptical.

Of course, Lee so-man also has the following: "The Black Ocean Incident asked Lin Productions to edit it into the plot of Girls' Generation, and it will be released together with the new plot in January of the following year." ”

Lin Weiran blinked and asked rhetorically: "Girls' Generation will come back in January next year?" ”

Li Xiuman replied with a smile: "Representative Lin's first season theme song, I suggest that it be released at Christmas, it will be a good day." ”
