Chapter 11 The first day of joining the company
The Korean entertainment industry is very strange, and artists of different natures are divided into distinct camps. Although there are also things like acting and singing and singing and acting, basically your debut represents your identity. And the identity gap between them is quite large.
This small country is full of large and small brokerage companies. Over the years, there has been a complete and rigorous trainee training system. Draft, training, packaging, rollout. Behind the efficiency and speed, there is indifference and ruthlessness.
But even so, the possibility of becoming an entertainer in this country is far greater than that of the Celestial Empire.
Kang Jae-hee has no worries about whether he can make his debut, good appearance and memories of his past life, coupled with his singing skills that already appear good even without training, not to mention that he also plays the instrument very well. The difference is when you debuted, in which company, and in what way.
It's just that he knows his own temperament, so that Jiang Jae-hee will make his debut in the future, or practice dancing before singing, he would rather be hidden in the snow. But if he is like a movie and television actor, the current Kang Jae-hee is obviously not up to it. And the various hardships of the actor's rookie period are actually not much better than the singer.
It is a country that places great emphasis on the relationship between seniors and seniors.
Fortunately, I also analyzed the Korean entertainment industry a little in my previous life. It's kind of understood. So Kang Jae-hee decided to take the path of a musician. Composition, arrangement, production. At least more than half of the success of music is due to the music itself. With a fairly clear memory of his previous life, he naturally would not let go of this convenience. And after systematic learning, you can also make yourself not exhausted after you don't have the memory of your previous life.
It's just that if you don't enter a circle, what people outside see will always be the most superficial layer. What awaits Kang Jae-hee will be an unforgettable experience......
============================
Tune writing (copy?) After that, he handed it to Jiang Zhijian and asked him to help transfer it to Yu Yongzhen, the chief musician of S.M. Company. While expressing his admiration, he expressed a strong interest in music production, but he was worried that he would be too reckless, so he took out his own works and hoped that Director Yu would evaluate them and a series of other official words.
The message replied quickly, and Jiang Zhijian brought Yu Yongzhen's meaning that night, expressing his satisfaction at Jiang Jae-hee's willingness to learn production, but also tactfully expressed that Jiang Jae-hee's current music foundation is still too weak, and he hopes to lay a good foundation first, etc., but I hope that Jiang Jae-hee can show him directly if he has works in the future, and don't let this enthusiasm dissipate like this.
What does he mean by that? Think I'm not qualified right now? Still don't want to take me? Kang Jae-hee's reaction to Yu Yong-jin was a little strange. It stands to reason that it is a fairly excellent work, and it is not a semi-finished product, it is the kind of finished product that can be sung directly by finding a singer. But Yu Yongzhen's reaction was a little cold.
"Hehe, it's not that he doesn't think you're qualified enough, and it's not that he doesn't want to accept you." Jiang Zhijian knows Jiang Jae-hee's current thoughts very well, and he clearly knows that his nephew is excellent, but excellent also represents pride. A very good piece was given to a musician, but he only got a somewhat cold answer. For the proud Kang Jae-hee, it is a little difficult to understand.
"Musicians have their own persistence and pride, but Yu Yongzhen is also the company's music director, as a senior executive of the company, he thinks not only about music, but also he doesn't know anything about you, so he rashly teaches you? Do you know what the consequences of a music director teaching a student? A trainee who has just joined the company suddenly becomes a disciple of the director? Or even if he is not a disciple, he is a person that the director is very optimistic about. It's not really a good thing for such a person to bring to the company. Jiang Zhijian still has some expectations for his nephew, so he doesn't want him to give up because of this.
Jiang Zhijian's explanation made Kang Jae-hee suddenly realize that it was not a problem with music. It's just that I'm too idealistic.
In fact, so far, Kang Jae-hee has always maintained an interest in music, or becoming an artist. He didn't have a dream of becoming a star, nor did he have a passion for music. It all starts with interest.
Time flies, and the last few days before the holidays are spent in repeated ability exercises and physical exercises.
On the first day of school, accompanied by my uncle, I went to school, met new teachers and new classmates, and was not too surprised to see those female classmates with bright eyes in the audience, after all, such things have happened before.
Later, it was like the head teacher who expressed that he had become a trainee and that he would not be able to come to school on time every day in the future, but he would ensure that his grades would not drop. And the school is used to this kind of thing. It's just the first day of school, and no matter what, you have to stay in school. In order to get the approval slip, Kang Jae-hee had to stay in a daze at school for a day. Kang Jae-hee, who often looks out the window in a daze, is also considered melancholy by the female classmates in the class, and it slowly spreads throughout the school......
On the first day after the summer vacation, I believe that few students will be able to adapt, let alone Jiang Jae-hee, who is already psychologically mature. Kang Jae-hee, who finally stayed up until school, quickly returned home. The whole person was lying on the bed like mud. Although I have been a student for another 5 years, I still don't feel comfortable. But fortunately, I didn't have to go to school for quite some time.
Early the next morning, he rejected the offer to go to the company with Jiang Zhijian. Holding the breakfast I bought casually, I walked slowly towards the S and M companies. Today is the first time I have officially gone to the company. The contract was still in the bag, and Jiang Zhijian was not handed over to the company in advance.
"Hey, Kang Jae-hee? Are you going to the company? Kang Jae-hee, who was eating breakfast with his head down, suddenly heard someone calling him. When he looked up, he noticed that there was a girl standing at the intersection not far ahead, waiting for a red light, looking at him curiously.
"Uh, so-young, morning. Are you going to the company? "Kang Jae-hee didn't expect to meet acquaintances here, he has only been in Seoul for more than ten days in total, and most of the time he is at home Kang Jae-hee, the only ones who have crossed paths are actually the girls he met at S.M that day.
"Good morning at Hee oPPa, I'm going to go to the company, are you going to the company too?" Choi so-young is still a little happy that Kang Jae-hee is here, at least she won't be bored on the way to the company.
"Yes, I went to the company on the first day today, and I have been busy with the transfer of schools a few days ago." For Choi so-young, Kang Jae-hee still admires it very much, the height in this future group has not been very outstanding, but such a person who is not brilliant has once gone to Japan to work hard alone, and DJ, cF, mc of music programs, TV series, osT. If you count it, you'll see that this is a very well-rounded person.
"No wonder I haven't seen you for the past few days, and I live near here in Hee oPPa?" Cui Xiuying was criticized by the sisters because she escaped from the battle, and she thought about inviting Kang Jae-hee back, but she never saw him in the company, and she once felt sorry that he didn't enter the company. Being able to see Kang Jae-hee here, Choi so-young was a little curious, after all, she had lived here for many years and had a deep understanding of the housing prices in the vicinity.
"Yes, the place where I live is not very far from the company, otherwise I wouldn't have walked to the company, it seems that Xiuying also lives nearby." Jiang Jae-hee, who had an in-depth understanding of the nine when he was young, knew that Cui Xiuying's family background was very good. It's just that in his previous life, he didn't know that Cui Xiuying's home was nearby.
Regarding the people chatting with him on the road, Jiang Jae-hee is also in a very good mood.
The already short distance was even shorter because of the pleasant chat between the two teenagers and girls. It won't take long to get to the company. Cui Xiuying naturally has her own course, waving goodbye and agreeing to eat together at noon if she has time.
And Kang Jae-hee went straight to Jiang Zhijian's office and followed him to Lee so-man's office.
Li Xiuman looked at the child in front of him. For the matter of writing songs, I also learned about it through Yu Yongzhen. And I didn't think he would come to the company until now to report. It's just that he didn't say anything more and let Jiang Zhijian arrange it himself. As an artist director, in fact, Li Xiuman didn't need to meet a child who had just become a trainee. It's just that one is because of Jiang Zhijian's relationship, and the other is because of Yu Yongzhen. From the eye contact with the boy in front of him, it can be seen that the child is not nervous, panicked, excited, etc. There is also a loss of interest in its incentives.
Kang Jae-hee didn't make the company boss feel that he was a future star and the idea of where the company wanted to be when they met for the first time. He even thought that seeing Li Xiuman was a necessary cutscene for every trainee.
After a boring cutscene, Kang Jae-hee was taken directly by Kang Zhijian to the practice room of the singing class B. Jiang Zhijian, who knew his nephew's strength, naturally couldn't let him go to rookie class C to learn the basics of those basics. simply used his power to throw Kang Jae-hee to Class B.
After the start of school, the company was obviously much colder. In many practice rooms, there are only a dozen or so people, and in some classes there are even a few people. It's just that for teachers, there is no difference between a few, dozens, hundreds, or hundreds. External teachers are only responsible for teaching. For students who focus on training, the company will naturally have other separate courses dedicated to training.
After a brief introduction, Jiang Jae-hee found a random place to sit down, and then listened to more than an hour of lessons on the cultivation and communication of song emotions. It's kind of useful. At least Kang Jae-hee thinks that although the emotional communication and the like are a little too profound, it is still worth learning to change the mood of the song through the change of breath and the control of the size of the voice.
For what he is interested in, Kang Jae-hee will listen carefully.
At this time, the trainees had already trained separately for men and women. So Jiang Jae-hee's practice room is full of men. Although there are a few very familiar, but Jiang Jae-hee, who rarely pays attention to male artists, can't be named.
