"People are coming together......"

At 2:20 p.m., Li Junhan arrived at the auditorium in the resort ten minutes early, as he always had in the habit, to watch performances and movies. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was already full of people.

Li Junhan roughly counted 97 people there, all of whom came.

Originally, the auditorium was still quite lively, and the girls sitting together were chatting in twos and threes, but as soon as Li Junhan came in, the entire auditorium instantly quieted down.

"Looks like you're all pretty idle!" Li Junhan shook his head with a smile, walked to the podium placed on the side of the stage, smiled, and said hello to the group of girls in the audience.

The audience finally burst into applause at this time.

The atmosphere was actually a bit awkward.

"You don't know what I'm going to talk about today, do you?" Although Li Junhan didn't expect him to be thunderous as soon as he appeared, and there were young girls shouting oppa I love you and the like, but this somewhat cold opening still made Li Junhan a little awkward, so he decided not to ask anything about it, and went straight to the topic first.

"Yes." A group of girls answered neatly.

"Actually, there's not much to say, I just want to talk to you." Li Junhan was a little natural, walked to the side of the podium, propped his arms on the podium, and changed into a very casual posture.

Several girls at the scene laughed.

Li Junhan consciously looked at it.

This should be regarded as a person with a sense of variety show.

After all, there are seven cameras working next to it.

"Tomorrow morning, the first round of voting will be over." Li Junhan saw that the atmosphere was good, so he began to talk about something that would make the atmosphere less harmonious, and sure enough, as soon as his words came out, the scene immediately fell silent, "Actually, even if I don't say it, many of you are very concerned about this." I've heard that someone cried in the cafeteria this morning at breakfast......"

Speaking of this, Li Junhan glanced at the two girls he mentioned.

"That's normal." Li Junhan nodded, "I've also heard that there are some companies and a few trainees who take our show as the last chance to fight." As for the result...... It may indeed be a bit unsatisfactory. ”

The scene fell completely silent.

The trainees sitting in the audience were all looking at each other.

"But there's no way! This place in the entertainment industry is like this. The pace of replacement is frighteningly fast, and the competition is chilling. Think about girlsday, which suddenly became popular at the beginning of the previous year, and didn't get a single one of them when it returned last year, and the exid who counterattacked on the list at the beginning of last year can only be said to be unsatisfactory now...... However, it's also a great place to make your dreams come true. Just like now, I'm standing on the stage here and talking nonsense, and there are a bunch of little girls like you in the audience listening to me nagging...... It feels awesome. Li Junhan spread his hands and made a helpless expression, "Singing and dancing on the stage, listening to the cheers of the audience...... Three weeks ago, when I was at the Idol Experience Center, everyone should have felt it, and that feeling ......"

Speaking of this, Li Junhan shook his head with a big smile on his face.

There was finally a little laughter from the audience.

Indeed, that feeling is really hard to describe.

Happiness? Excited? Proud?

All of them, and they are far more than that.

"After the remaining 61 members of the first round of elimination are announced tomorrow, JHL will arrange a formal training program, JHL model training." Li Junhan continued, "Then, the third round of evaluation and assessment. This time, the projected plan was to perform live in front of a thousand spectators. After that, the third round of evaluation and assessment is 3,000 spectators, and then, the last round of assessment...... M TV station broadcasts it live, and viewers across the country and even around the world will directly vote for you...... Add to that the voting that has been going on on the web...... How, do you feel, it seems, a little blood boiling? ”

Li Junhan's words did not make the laughter at the scene louder. After several rounds of assessment, who can stand on this stage to the end?

I'm afraid that except for a few people, the vast majority of people don't have a bottom in their hearts!

"Everyone also knows very well that there will only be 11 people left on this stage in the end." Li Junhan looked at the reaction of the audience and said with a smile: "However, practicing hard for the opportunity of these 11 people is not the idea that everyone had when they came here last year?" It's just the first vote, give up? Disappointed? Isn't it a little too early? ”

Lee's question was not answered.

In fact, even Li Junhan himself knows that for more than a third of the people here, there is no next chance.

However, that's all he can say.

"When I was recording 'pick_me' at MCD before, I trained people once." Li Junhan could only continue to talk by himself, and in fact, he also preferred this feeling of speaking quietly, "Some people want to give up because their level has been lowered." Now, I still want to say that because I was eliminated from here, I want to give up, do you really feel worthy of yourself? Then, in the blink of an eye, a few months passed. Now that I think about it, I didn't give up at the beginning, is this decision correct? ”

The scene was still quiet, and many people were lost in thought.

"Some people will say, it's good that I didn't give up, and some people will say that if I had given up and quit at that time, I might have been able to do a lot of other things in the past few months." Li Junhan said with a little self-questioning: "Just like many people say, if I didn't do the job I am doing now, but did something, I don't know what happened now......

Speaking of this, Li Junhan shook his head.

"But if you can't even do what you want to do very seriously, you can talk about it later, if you ...... In this case, in fact, it is difficult for such a person to become a big thing in the end, right? ”

There was silence.

"Dreams, such a word, are beautiful when you say it." Li Junhan continued, "However, there are not many people who can really dream. There are so many disturbing things in this world that we are always getting farther and farther away from what we want to do. At the end of the day, I even forgot what I wanted to do. But you here ......"

As he spoke, Li Junhan pointed to a group of girls sitting in the audience.

"We've already come to this place, and we may only be one step away from the final success. Yes, you come from different companies, from big companies like JYP and CUBE to some very small companies and even individual trainees...... The difficulty of this last step that you face is indeed different. But at this time, I suddenly want to give up, do you think you really won't regret it if you wait until ten years later? Li Junhan's words carried a little emotion.

"Ten years ago, probably ...... That's the time. The days after my divorce from my ex-wife......" Li Junhan remembered some of the past and smiled, "At that time, I really wanted to die, I couldn't find what I wanted to do, I had no money to live, and I felt like I had fallen from the clouds to hell all of a sudden." But...... I don't even have the courage to die. There is no way but to find a way to live. Then, in order to find a job to make ends meet, I pushed the door and walked into a café to ask for a job. There, I got to know the current president of JHL, and I got to know many, many people, my students, and my current girlfriend...... When I didn't know what kind of work I could do to support myself, they suggested that I try it in the entertainment industry! You can make a lot of money by acting in a drama there, and there are advertising endorsements, so you can afford to pay the utility bills and eat good ......"

Speaking of this, the smile on the corner of Li Junhan's mouth was a little irrepressible, and the atmosphere in the audience finally improved.

"Speaking of which, I entered the entertainment industry not for any dreams at all, just for a better life, that's all." Li Junhan sorted out some of the atmosphere, "Just like some of you here, you want to become an artist in order to change your family's life. It's just that I was lucky enough to meet a lot of nobles, Brother Jin Bingwan, Brother Luo Yingshi, and Brother Li Mingren...... Wait, wait, in the first few years, I also suffered a lot and suffered a lot, but I have always believed that all the efforts will be rewarded, no matter when I was drenched in the rain in the show for two days and one night, when I drank jade tendon fish juice, I was still in the crew at that time, and now it is Li Mingren, the PD of "The Masked Singer" and "Idol of the Week", when he moved things, I thought so. ”

Speaking of this, Li Junhan pointed to the audience, "Of course, I think so, it doesn't mean that I don't know the world, sometimes it's not so fair." For example, I know that there are many people who work hard and are obviously very good, but they don't become popular. Even this show of ours is the same. Popularity voting is something that will make many people feel very frustrated, I obviously did a good job, but why doesn't anyone like me? If you have this idea, raise your hand and let me take a look...... It's okay, be brave! ”

A few hands gathered in the audience.

Li Junhan saw a person inside.

The girl at the cube is called Jeon So-yeon.

Indeed, the girl's physical condition is ...... It's a bit of a loss.

He is not tall, and his appearance is really not beautiful.

"Well, I see, thank you." Li Junhan owed slightly, and motioned for the person who raised his hand to put his hand down, "Yes, I obviously worked hard, and even, my strength is already very good, but why ......?"

Speaking of this, Li Junhan shook his head.

The scene fell silent again.

"But if you don't work hard, even if the opportunity comes, can you really seize it?" Li Junhan said lightly, "I'll give you an example, your peers, the girl group launched by JHL at the beginning of last year, Gfriend ......"

Li Junhan said here, and waved his hand at Zhou Mingshuo, who was filming, "Don't cut this paragraph into the show, it looks like I'm bragging, it's not good." ”

Zhou Mingshuo, who was watching the excitement on the side, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded a little indifferently.

There was a burst of laughter.

"Really, now I'm really proud of the kids in our company." Lee Junhan said with a smile: "Actually, their original debut time was arranged in the second half of the year before last, about two months after Mamamoo's debut. However, it was delayed. Even, the delay at that time was an indefinite delay. ”

Li Junhan was talking about the internal affairs of JHL company, and the scene was quiet, and this group of trainee girls obviously had never had a chance to hear about it before, and even the trainees of Starship probably didn't know.

"The reason is that the singing and dancing level of several of them is basically not up to the standard in my place." Li Junhan said lightly, "So, I trained them fiercely, asking them to practice dancing well, and when they can dance the glass beads like their predecessors Aura, they can make their debut." Then, they practiced for nearly two months, and finally made their official debut in January last year. Because I was disappointed in them, I didn't even care about their debut. ”

Be quiet.

Many people at the scene were looking at each other.

This kind of thing...... It's still scary for Li Junhan to say it.

"I didn't pay attention to them for a long time." Li Junhan continued, "Even, the song "From Us Today", which made them popular when they returned last summer, was written directly by me, took it to the company, and never asked again. And then...... There was an accidental fall on the SBS stage. ”

No one interjected, everyone was waiting for Li Junhan to say.

"Actually, I didn't even know about it. I don't care too much about how they became popular, although this year is only the tenth year of my debut, but ...... I've seen too many idols who suddenly became popular for various reasons, and then slipped down at the speed of light. Whether it's scandals, all kinds of news, or variety shows...... Various channels. Because when you start to be familiar with the audience, what people want to see is actually three words: what else? If not, then there is no care. And that's how I know about it. Lee continued, "Until one day I was in JHL and I happened to meet them who missed lunch because they were practicing dance......

Li Junhan told the first time he saw them dancing at double speed at noon that day.

The site is quiet.

"They don't really have any talent for dancing. There is no need to compare with 4minute's Hyuna, even Secret's Hyo-sung is actually a little more talented in dancing than them. Li Junhan smiled and continued, "I guess it's just the same level as me?" ”

Li Junhan's words brought a burst of laughter.

His dancing skills......

Really, definitely not a boast.

"But, practice, practice, practice...... As they said, when they practice until they are dazed and don't wake up, they can still instinctively complete the whole dance performance along with the music, and even if they encounter any difficulties, they can't stop them. So, on that rainy afternoon in September, even if Yu Zhou was stupid, he still instinctively followed the music, danced, and completed the whole performance. I think that's what perseverance is all about, and what it means to practice. It's not about giving you a platform to be able to show yourself on it, but it's about giving you something to show when you encounter the platform. Seriously, we at JHL don't really lack such platforms. ”

Speaking of this, Li Junhan shook his head with a smile and said, "Therefore, our company did not arrange trainees for this show. It's not that we can't look down on it, or anything, it's just that when I discussed with Zhou Mingshuo PD to make this produce101, from the beginning, I just wanted to give some children who couldn't get any resources in other channels, or show their abilities...... That is, you, a stage where you can show yourself. You know, you don't have a contract with JHL, even if you earn a YG or an S.M, it doesn't matter to me. ”

"On this stage of produce101, some people have performed well...... Li Junhan continued with a smile, "I was very impressed by a few of you, and to be honest, if I had met a few years earlier, I would have really thought of taking in as a student, or even being drawn to JHL." ”

The words fell, and there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

"Really!" Li Junhan nodded seriously, "It's just that I thought about it later, being remembered by me in such a place, in fact, it is also because she has been working hard, making all kinds of preparations, and singing is good ......" said Li Junhan pointed to the girl named Liu Yanjing in starship.

"Dancing or not." Then, he pointed to the girl named Jin Qingxia from M&H.

"Handsome rap style." Lee Jun Han took a serious look at Jeon So-yeon of the cube who had just raised his hand.

Or, a sense of artistry, a sense of the big picture, a good character, and a beautiful appearance...... Wait, wait. ”

Speaking one by one, Li Junhan pointed to some people who he had an impression of performing well, "These are all formed by years of practice, preparation, and a little talent." These, in fact, have little to do with me and produce101. Well, I'm not qualified to jump out and take students or anything like that......"

Li Junhan's words made the girls who were named by him at the scene suddenly become the focus of the people around them.

In fact, these things, among them, have been recognized, and they have been together for a few months, and who among these girls is the best at dancing, singing, and having the best sense of performance, has long been decided.

"Like, if you don't perform well on this show, you won't be remembered by me, or the majority of national producers...... Even, because of her poor performance, there is no chance to appear on the TV screen......" Li Junhan shook his head, "The first thing you should think about is, what is wrong with me, how can I improve, she sings better than me, so, is it possible for me to sing as well as her?" She dances prettier than I do, so can I practice to her level? Sense of Artistry? Can I improve my concentration, response, and answering a little faster during the filming of the show? And so on...... At the end of the day, it's still those two words: practice. And not those two words: give up. Of course, if you feel that I am already the best version of me, I can't do better, so even if I can't go further, I won't have any regrets...... Then you choose to give up when you are eliminated from the show, and I have nothing to say. However, as long as you haven't been eliminated, your stage is still there, so ...... Just keep working hard, maybe you won't be able to get into the top 11 with Produce101 this time, but I believe that JHL's systematic trainee training system should be no worse than any Korean entertainment company, because we have money...... Don't laugh, so, I also believe that even if Kwon So-mi is from JYP, she can learn new things at JHL......"

Quan Zhaomei, who was named by Li Junhan, was stunned, smiled a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly shook her head and waved her hand, looking afraid of being taught a lesson by her agent.

"Don't worry, don't make trouble with JYP, if they make trouble for you, you will come to JHL!" Li Junhan said with a smile, "He can't bear it!" ”

The scene burst into laughter.

"Hmm...... Get back to business. I believe that the vast majority of you here should have gained something in the recent period of practice. In this, finding your own shortcomings may be more important than entering the list of 11 people in the end. You know, because you're all from various companies, and the limited event time of this group is only one year, and no one can say what it will look like after one year. When the time comes, the only thing you can rely on is yourself, your own ability, and your own strength. Li Junhan nodded, "Take a step faster, take a step slower, in fact, the gap is not as important as you think now, and the height that can be reached in the end is more important." Do you remember the debut song break_it of Kara, who was disliked by you in the second evaluation assessment earlier? Kara's debut, but it was much earlier than her girlhood. But really talking about status...... Well, I can still tell two truths about my own children, which is really not as good as ...... By the way, Zhou PD, this paragraph must not be broadcast! Otherwise, I'll have to be torn apart by the hands of Hara and Nicole......"

This burst of laughter should be the biggest since Li Junhan walked into this auditorium.

"So, just tonight, before the first elimination list is going to be determined, I'm going to be here and say these things to everyone." Li Junhan was going to make a summary, "As a trainee, practice is a means, not an end. Even, debut is a process, not a result. Missing a stage and an opportunity may only mean that you are not ready. This is not the end of the world, it is not a sentence. Come on, work hard. If one day in the future, all 97 of you will make your debut and become members of various girl groups...... When the time comes, I will hold such a show again, and when you all come back to participate, you have to give me this face, and you can't stop coming under the pretext that you are busy with your schedule! ”

"No, it won't!"

"Hmm...... Aunt Huang! It's up to you to be the host when you go back! ”

The one who took this sentence was the oldest of the trainees in this group, born in 87, the same year as Park So-yeon......

It's also the one with the best sense of artistry among everyone.

"Okay!"
