Chapter 87 The 8th Youth BEST Selection Conference

There have been many turns in life, and the team is actually very important. This is called doujin different fate.

===================

The 8th s.m Youth BesT Audition is about to begin, which is very common in Korea, and TV stations and major entertainment agencies will also hold it from time to time. The difference is nothing more than the size of the scale.

The selection of s.m company is mainly the Youth BesT selection conference, s.m_starlight_casting_system, and weekend open_casting_audition, of course, if you are recommended by a talent scout or other artists, you still need to participate in one of these auditions to participate in the assessment, but compared to the contestants who signed up by themselves, this kind of person will have a little more advantage, at least not to wait too long.

s.m_starlight_casting_system, it is a slightly more professional selection held on a regular basis, and the biggest difference between this selection and the youth BesT selection is the number of people and the scope. s.m_starlight_casting_system is held regularly not only in Korea, but also in China and the United States. However, the Youth BesT selection tournament is only held in South Korea.

In fact, there is basically no big difference between these two selection meetings in the early stage. It's just that the Youth BesT selection conference pays more attention to excavation, that is, it pays more attention to age and potential. The word teenager defines age. However, there is no age limit for s.m_starlight_casting_system. It's just that if you're too old, you're too embarrassed to participate, aren't you?

After 04 years, the youth selection conference pays more attention to diversity, and even GAG will have a special evaluation. Relatively speaking, s.m_starlight_casting_system still focuses on the conditions required for traditional training of traditional stars, such as acting, appearance, singing and dancing.

open_casting_audition is much smaller, and there are always some people who are anxious or whose homes are in Seoul, and they don't have to wait until such a large-scale selection to participate, and there are too many people, so it's easier to get nervous. So many people chose this weekend's open_casting_audition, which is not large in scale and is more conducive to personal play, and Choi so-young and Lim Yoon-a entered the company through this.

Several others, with the exception of Kwon Yoo-ri from the Dance Group of the 1st Youth BesT Selection Tournament and Kim Tae-yeon from the 8th Junior BesT Contest Singing Awards, all joined the company through s.m_starlight_casting_system.

Well, that's a bit of a long way to go, at least for now, there are a few more who are working elsewhere right now, waiting to be reunited with the current ones......

Therefore, because the scale of the Youth BesT selection conference is too large, it must be auditioned. This is the biggest reason why Kang Jae-hee can mix a judge. Thousands of people, and most of them are from other places, and local ones can be selected in other ways. So food and accommodation is a big problem.

Although holding such a large-scale selection has kept the whole company busy, the benefits are obvious.

1 is fame since cultural export became political. As the first company to respond and succeed, S.M. received benefits that could not be seen on the surface. Such a youth selection, in the name of tapping the country's outstanding youth, can get more support.

2. With so many people, there must be a lot of talents that can be tapped. Many outstanding young people from other places will not be able to participate in other selections for various reasons, but such a national selection is not comparable to other selection conferences in terms of publicity and promotion. Naturally, more people will get the news.

I believe that in addition to these, there will definitely be some other hidden benefits, after all, as a company, no matter what, if it is an unprofitable project, it is impossible to hold it forever.

This is also the reason why Yu Yongzhen has been repeatedly telling Jiang Jae-hee about those very trivial things a few days ago. Kang Jae-hee is not qualified to be a judge in other selection conferences, only the youth BesT selection conference, because of the lack of manpower, in the not very important audition stage, let Kang Jae-hee experience it, and take the road of musician in the future, and it is also a win-win road to be a judge. But although it is said that Kang Jae-hee is qualified to judge this conference by virtue of Yu Yongzhen's status, once he makes a mistake, the impact will be much greater than that of other selection conferences.

Yu Yongzhen didn't know that Kang Jae-hee had a very mature heart, and he was very worried that once he encountered a comparative setback as a young man, he would collapse.

Maybe it will slowly recover after time, but about Jiang Jae-hee's plan, Yu Yongzhen has already mentioned it to the above. This selection conference can also be regarded as an opportunity to investigate, although it is not a key inspection point, but a better performance can also add a lot to his resume.

These royal servants did not say this to Jiang Jae-hee. Being a teacher is sometimes quite awkward, wanting students to play well, but they don't want to talk to students in advance, so as to avoid him being prepared in advance and wanting to see the most real Jiang Jae-hee. But I've been talking to Kang Jae-hee about judging before.

It's actually quite hard to be a teacher and do Yu Yongzhen's job......

As a musician, Jiang Jae-hee, who is a judge, is bound to be a judge of the singing group. And whether it is from his memory or from his teacher, he knows that Kim Taeyeon must have signed up for the singing group competition.

So, Kang Jae-hee is looking forward to that day.

However, he was very worried that such a meeting would surprise Kim Taeyeon, and he also specially prepared some props.

On March 27, 2004, the 8th Youth BesT Selection Conference was officially opened in s.m. With such an important tournament, the open_casting_audition on weekdays was naturally cancelled.

It officially started at 9 o'clock in the morning, in fact, Kim Taeyeon came to Seoul with her father last night, and Kim's father originally planned to find a hotel, but he couldn't resist Kang Jae-hee's enthusiasm and pulled him home to rest for the night.

Jiang Zhijian only appeared at dinner, and then continued to disappear. For this reason, Jiang Jae-hee had to explain that because of the company's conference, as a director of the company's practice room management department, he would be very busy with work. This made Father Jin dispel his doubts.

In fact, no matter what country it is, it is rude for the host to leave abruptly when there are guests. Except, of course, in exceptional circumstances.

And after Kang Ji-jian left, Kim Tae-yeon also relaxed. Compared to Kang Jae-hee, Kim Taeyeon behaved more like the master after that. For example, politely asked her dad and Kang Jae-hee what they were drinking. Kang Jae-hee said that his uncle should drink tea. Then Kim Tae-yeon asked disdainfully, "Do you have tea here?" ”

Although this behavior made Jin's father a little strange, he didn't think much about it, after all, he also knew that his daughter had stayed here for a few nights. He smiled, took the water handed by his daughter and took a sip.

Seeing the young man and woman in front of him communicating something with their eyes and expressions from time to time, Father Jin was very pleased. Although he was not very satisfied with the boy being an artist, Kang Jae-hee never missed his homework, and later heard that Kang Jae-hee was not an ordinary artist, and he could even go to university to teach in the future (Kim Tae-yeon once said when Kim's father muttered a little dissatisfied...... After that, I didn't say anything more.

In fact, it doesn't matter what you do, as long as you don't break the law, you can give your daughter happiness, it's enough, isn't it?

At half past seven, Jiang Jae-hee had already gotten up, washed up and made breakfast, and Father Jin also got up before 8 o'clock. Kang Jae-hee said hello to Kim's father because he was going to be there early, saying that he would go to the company first. Father Kim was a little hesitant, after all, this was not his home, nor was it Kang Jae-hee's home.

After seeing Father Kim's hesitation, Kang Jae-hee smiled and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter, the few times Taeyeon came was like this." But remember not to let Taeyeon wake up too late, it takes time to wake up in the morning, and if it's too late, it's not good if you don't wake up by the time of the game. ”

After Father Kim nodded to know, Kang Jae-hee went to the company first.

When I arrived at the office at 8:20, there were already a lot of people outside. In fact, the selection is not done in a day. If you are alone in 2 minutes, there are only 30 people in an hour, and only 300 people in 10 hours a day. Even if 10 groups are held at the same time, there are only 3,000 people, and the number of participants in this year's session, according to incomplete statistics, is as many as 9,000.

That's a huge number. Looking at the crowd outside, Kang Jae-hee sighed.

In the East, people always have jackpots, so prepare for such a saying in advance. Whether it's an exam, a competition, or something else. So Kang Jae-hee only sighed slightly. None of this has much to do with him. The number of people has already been decided.

There are also 3 people who will judge with Kang Jae-hee, Park Sang-yeol, the head of the practice room management department, Lee Jing-a, the head of the artist planning department, and Kim Chaohan, who is in charge of singing and teaching in the practice room.

In addition to Lee Jing'er, the other two people Kang Jae-hee have seen it, and Park Xiangyeol doesn't need to say it, if it weren't for him, Kang Jae-hee didn't know what would join the company, because of his oolong incident, Kang Jae-hee entered the company ahead of schedule. And Kim Chaohan, whether it is Kim Jong-yun or Jung so-yeon, he is responsible for teaching. Jiang Jae-hee also met him a few times, and also asked him some questions, until he completely studied with Yu Yongzhen before he went to ask Jin Chaohan for advice.

At this time, Li Jing'er was still very young, and she was not the slightly chubby woman in the infinite challenge idol draft special. At this time, she was very slender and energetic. It's just that she is mainly responsible for the packaging and promotion planning of artists, and she doesn't have much contact with Jiang Jae-hee, who is still a trainee.

Kang Jae-hee also wondered why someone from the artist planning department was in charge of judging the contestants of the Youth BesT selection tournament who was not yet a trainee.

In fact, 2-3 people are enough for a normal competition review, and Li Jing'er is actually here specifically to investigate Jiang Jae-hee.

Of course, Kang Jae-hee didn't know about it...... He greeted the three polite ones.

Park Xiangyeol has always had a cold face, just nodding his head, while Li Jing'er was unfamiliar and nodded politely in return. Only Jin Chaohan patted Jiang Jae-hee's shoulder very enthusiastically and said.

"Zai-hee, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and since you studied with Yu Yongzhen, you don't come to ask me for advice, do you think I'm not as good as him in singing?" Kim Chaohan and Yu Yongzhen are very familiar. In fact, Jin Chaohan is also half a producer, almost all of his albums are produced by himself, the recording engineer is only responsible for recording, and he is responsible for all other aspects. So there is a common language with Yu Yongzhen. And as a senior executive, in the company, there must always be a few people who can speak, otherwise, it will be really lonely. Kim Chaohan has an agreement with S.M, but he is not a member of S.M, and he does not need to be afraid of Yu Yongzhen, the music director and the top position in the production department. It's not uncommon for two people to joke around a lot. So as soon as he saw Kang Jae-hee, he made such a joke to show his closeness.

"Teacher, don't say that, I can't afford this. After that, I was mainly learning to produce, and I didn't pay much attention to vocal music, so I didn't go to you for advice. "Of course, there is no need to pursue it too much, the purpose of the joke is just to ease the atmosphere.

"Well, it's a pity that you take this path, your voice is a pity, if you train well, in the future, your singing skills may not be much worse than kangta." Different people say different things, as a powerful singer, Jin Chaohan naturally looks at a person from the aspect of singing.

"I'm a little lazy, like Kangta's predecessors, don't exhaust me to death......" Regarding idol's itinerary, Kang Jae-hee thanked him.

Seeing that this big and small person chatted casually as if no one was around, Park Xiangyeol had to stand up to stop it, he knew that the company was now evaluating Kang Jae-hee, saying too much, especially with a person who was not binding on him by the company, and it would not be good if he said something wrong.

"Let's talk about these things later, Mr. Jin, see if we will discuss some standards before we start, so that we can avoid some unnecessary disputes when the formal review is made."

Hearing Park Xiangyeol say business, Kim Chaohan will not blindly show his freedom, he nodded, and sat down with Kang Jae-hee, and the other two people had a final discussion before starting.

========================
