Chapter 94 The Role and Objectives of the Planning Department
If you want to understand a thing or an industry, you must go deeper.
==================
On March 28, Sunday's selection meeting was still uneventful.
There were no particularly outstanding people among the 100 people in the morning, which disappointed Jin Chaohan, who had planned to meet a good seedling again. For Jin Chaohan, the only thing that can interest him now is young people with good singing skills, and good songs that will make him excited.
Jin Chaohan, who has been married since 97, was born in the United States, and he prefers the kind of society that advocates freedom and is unfettered after receiving Western cultural education. Therefore, even after returning to Korea, his teaching method is not like other teachers, who let the students practice repeatedly until they master the skills. He prefers the kind of learning and performance that allows students to improvise on their own.
That is, if you think that the tail should be lengthened here, you will lengthen the tail note, and if you think that a high-frequency vibrato is needed here, you will have a high-frequency vibrato. In short, let yourself experience first, and then communicate. And often the students he recognizes will achieve very good results.
Of course, since he signed an agreement with the company, he will still teach even students he does not approve. After all, interest is interest, and work is work.
Out of a total of 10 groups of 100 people, there are less than 10 people in the end, plus the pending candidates. In fact, this is already the result of several people relaxing the standards. After all, it's a youth audition meeting, not a singing audition competition.
Kang Jae-hee, on the other hand, was more active in the second half of the morning than yesterday. The cautious and gentle wording allows even the eliminated players to accept and recognize with humility. I often use myself as an example to encourage those discouraged players, as long as they like it, as long as they love it, don't give up.
This move was also greatly appreciated by the other three judges. Park Xiangyeol has always spoken less and does not speak, Kim Chaohan praised it very much, he believes that the music industry needs this mentality of not being afraid of the younger generations to surpass themselves, and can also make rapid progress.
Although Li Jing'er didn't say much, it could be seen from her eyes that she was still very satisfied with Jiang Jae-hee's performance in the morning.
As a company, no matter what line of work you are engaged in, the ultimate goal is definitely to make a profit. But for this S.M, who has the name of Korea's No. 1 entertainment agency. The reputation is not very good.
There are some professional media who evaluate that S.M is not a musician, nor is it a singer. The so-called music is just fast food, and the singers launched are just packaged goods.
From the perspective of interests, the debut of the group is a model that can maximize the benefits, the same resources, to the soLo singer is just one person, but to the group, the whole group can benefit. Using people to increase success and exposure is not a new thing in South Korea.
It's just that S.M has done it the most thoroughly.
Of course, there is a reward for hard work, and large-scale drafts are often held, professional training during the trainee period, as well as packaging, positioning, and promotion during the debut. Ordinary people can only see the strict control and exploitation of artists by S.M. But I can't see the price paid when cultivating artists.
The atmosphere of the company is what makes the artists it launches. The training of professional musicians, even if they are talented, takes a long time to cultivate. Looking at the resume of the youngest of the top ten composers in the future, you can see that he participated in children's variety shows at the age of 5, debuted as a children's group at the age of 6, was exposed to music and dance at the age of 8-12, and then went through 5 or 6 years of training. This shows how difficult it is to train a music creator.
But now there's a ready-made opportunity for companies to move away from the reputation of only making fast-food music.
Ever since the song written by Kang Jae-hee was included in Kim Jong Kook's turnaround album, the company began to notice this young man who had only been with the company for a short time. Under the deliberate protection of Yu Yongzhen, under the circumstance that Li Xiuman deliberately did not make a statement. The entire company gave the young man maximum freedom.
You can not participate in the year-end competition, or you can not participate in the company's showcase. It seems that the company has forgotten about this person.
It is precisely because of such a relaxed and free environment that Kang Jae-hee can study music without distractions.
There was no effort to stockpile, and the company only opened the door a little bit. If it is successful, it is a win-win situation, the company can gain a young creator who is recognized by the music industry without paying too much, and if it is not successful, the company has nothing to lose, even at Kang Jae-hee's current level, it is completely enough to work in the production department.
How can the company not see this kind of thing that will only have benefits but no harm, and how can they give up such an opportunity?
Of course, even if it debuts in such a mode and enters the public eye, S.M will inevitably brand the company on this young man.
A music creator with a strong S.M style.
And since this opportunity was put on the table of the planning department, this somewhat strange debut model has also made a group of people in the planning department who are already a little bored interested.
Li Jing'er is one of them. For their planning department, they have now entered a very strange mode, they are like very sophisticated machines, making each debut artist almost the same, beautiful, gorgeous. Superb singing skills, dazzling dancing. Then put different expressions and packaging to distinguish these products from those that look exactly the same. Male, female, someone is in charge of cuteness, someone is in charge of coldness, someone is in charge of song, someone is in charge of dancing.
Then let the people, let the fans, tear off these labels, packaging, and suddenly realize that these people are not exactly the same as the previous combinations.
These jobs have made Li Jinger lose interest a little, just because of the high remuneration for living. And such a somewhat weird debut plan rekindled her enthusiasm for planning. Idol musician? Powerful idol? Not inferior to Kangta's creative talent and singing prowess? A musical genius handpicked by Lee so-man?
Exactly which mode to use must be determined after contact.
Obviously, today's Jiang Jae-hee made Li Jing'er see a mature appearance that does not match her age and experience. Of course, such a stage is too small after all. And the plan is not to ignore it after its debut. Depending on the response after the debut, the choice is whether it will be a minor adjustment or a complete revision. These are all things that the planning department needs to do.
But at least, with Kang Jae-hee's performance today, Lee Jing-er can make a simple promotion plan. But she wasn't in a hurry to decide so quickly. This is just a preliminary observation.
How can a rare plan that interests her be so decided?
TheTRaX is a band that has entered the final training phase before its debut, and at least until the band's debut has achieved a certain response, this first phase of the project has been basically completed. Therefore, Li Jing'er had enough time to observe Kang Jae-hee in person.
This shouldn't have been what she was going to do, but she couldn't resist her curiosity as a woman, and the flower of the planning department wanted to do one thing, as long as it didn't affect the basic operation of the company, it was natural, unimpeded.
So far, Kang Jae-hee doesn't know that he has been targeted.
The debut in his cognition is nothing more than posting a single, then going on a music show, participating in a few variety shows, playing songs, and promoting the popularity of the song.
It's just that he didn't know that hoT was a combination of various dances of the young, free, rebellious, mythical combination. , why did SES pick girls from three different countries. These positioning and promotion are all the credit of the planning department. It is also one of the indispensable and important departments of S.M.
And any artist who debuts will be trained according to the plan. Although it is not certain whether Kang Jae-hee will need training in the future, if that is the case, the leisurely life that Kang Jae-hee expects will definitely stay away from him.
But Kang Jae-hee doesn't know anything about all this now.
In the afternoon audition, there were no outstanding players.
The two-day audition over the weekend is finally over. The next audition will not be held until next weekend.
Kim Chaohan said that in the next audition, he does not plan to judge anymore, and told Jiang Jae-hee that if he finds a good player, remember to talk to him, and he will observe it carefully in the preliminaries.
And Li Jing'er also told several other people that she would not participate in the next selection, and the planning department had other things waiting for her to complete. However, there should be someone in the planning department who will take her place as a judge. Observing the contests of the players, who are not yet trainees, will also contribute to the improvement of some of the planning department's plans. After all, inspiration comes from life.
Park Xiangyeol will naturally continue to participate, anyway, his job is to manage trainees, and he has long been used to this kind of work.
Only Kang Jae-hee is a little depressed, because he has to participate in all the audition stage work before he can be relieved. And with his status in the company, he can't pick a son in advance like Jin Chaohan. So he had to cry and look at Jin Chaohan with a relaxed face doing exercises to relax his body.
Thinking of Park Jung-so's work, he compared himself and Kim Chaohan. Kang Jae-hee first came up with the idea of making his debut as soon as possible.
At least after your debut, you don't have to do these things anymore.
Kang Jae-hee, who just got news of artists from TV and other places, still has some naïve cognition of this industry......
=====================
Well, it's a celebration of breaking 5W.
Also, thank you for the evaluation votes of Agu, who was ignored before, and the recommendation and support that has been ......
In other words, I'm really a little sorry, because I'm too familiar, so I take it for granted that I don't pay attention to it, and I'm guilty of sin......
