Chapter 46: Hope and the Future
"Okay Sarah, I promise I'll come to Germany before the music industry, okay! It's okay to sing, but whether this dance needs to be discussed carefully. Sitting on the chair, Han Quanyou held his forehead with one hand and said to the mobile phone with a depressed face.
As usual, Han Kwonwoo came to the company early in the morning, first of all, he dealt with the company's affairs, and was about to go to see the trainees, Sarah? Kona's call from Germany immediately made Han Kwonwoo depressed.
On the phone, Sarah? Kona was adamant that she had to go to Germany before the Berlin festival in a month's time, and then go to the festival together.
For this request, Han Quanyou did not refuse at all, after all, since the crossing, when Han Quanyou decided to embark on the road of artist career, he has never put his vision and status on small South Korea, or even Asia.
From the very beginning, Han Quanyou's eyes were on the whole world, and the prophet brought by the crossing made Han Quanyou have to not put his own requirements at the highest point, and Han Quanyou also believes that he will be able to do this.
That's why Han Kwonwoo will give it to Sarah? Kona and Ellijie wrote songs in order to take advantage of this incident to have a good relationship with these two top female singers who will become popular in the next few years and become popular all over Europe and the United States. Then the two led themselves into the European music market, and even into the United States.
There is no way, if Han Quanyou chooses to enter the United States directly, it will basically be difficult. Americans still have a lot of resistance to foreign music and people, especially people in Africa and Asia, it is better to resist surnames, and Europe is better, after all, the ancestors of Americans immigrated from Europe, and deep in the hearts of Americans, Europeans are not outsiders, which also makes Europeans more acceptable to Americans.
This is why it is easy for European singers or actors to succeed in the United States, although there are many difficulties and hardships, but at least it is much easier than in Africa, Asia and other places.
So after thinking about it again, Han finally decided to take the European route, and then someone from Europe took him into the United States.
Originally for Sarah? Kou Na's request, Han Quanyou will also be very important and willing. But this time Sarah? Kona also asked to sing with her at the festival, which was fine, but the problem was that she didn't just need to sing together, she also needed to perform dance live.
This made Han Quanyou very depressed, to be honest, if the two really went to the Berlin Music Festival, then the song they sang would definitely be "justonelastdance" by the two, although the name is called the last dance, but it really has nothing to do with dance, just a pure sad love song.
And it's not embarrassing to sing this sad love song on the spot, and ask yourself to perform the wonderful and cool dance show that was shown at the beginning of the MV filming at the time.
So after hearing Sarah? Kora's request, Han Quanyou refused without even thinking about it.
"Han~~~ No way, it's not like I deliberately made things difficult for you, I also know that this is really inappropriate. However, this is the request of the organizers, although it is not suitable, but you can seize the opportunity, this is definitely a good opportunity for you. "Sarah on the phone? Kona's little foxy laughter.
"Forget it, I'll definitely go to the Berlin Festival anyway, and as for this dance, we'll discuss it with the organizers at that time. It's okay to perform, but at least it has to be separated from the song "justonelastdance", and it wouldn't be able to perform while singing, which would be too inappropriate. There was no way to shake his head, Han Quanyou was really completely depressed.
"OK~~OK~~ Since you have said so, I will help you discuss with the organizer at that time to see if you can put your dance performance in front of or behind the song, I personally think it is better to put it in the front. Well, that's it, I'm going to participate in the advertising shoot, dear Han, I'm really looking forward to meeting and working with you again. ”
Hung up the phone and shook his head, for Sarah? Kou Na's ambiguous title, Han Quanyou didn't feel the slightest. Anyway, Europeans and Americans are like this, not to mention that as the original king of the Fifteenth Great Road, he is the object of many beauties, Han Quanyou is really experienced in a hundred battles, and he has long been immune.
If, with the end of the SS selection conference, the company gets the most lacking group of excellent trainees. As long as one of these trainees can become a talent, make a successful debut, and gain a firm foothold, then SS Company will complete the first successful reincarnation.
However, Han Quanyou has no worries about this, after all, whether it is Girls' Generation or WG, Han Quanyou knows better than anyone the scenery and glory of these two groups, and it can be said that the two groups have basically monopolized the K-pop girl group market for five years. Even if the rise of Kara and T-Ara in the future, it will not be able to shake the status and influence of Girls' Generation and WG.
It can be said that as long as the two groups of Girls' Generation and WG are cultivated well, with the debut of the two groups, basically SS Company will not have to worry about anything in the next five years, it will be influential and influential, and it will be status, and even this time will be longer.
As for the success of these two groups, Han Quanyou didn't think about it at all, after all, Han Quanyou remembered the classic songs that originally belonged to these two groups. As long as the time comes, give the song to the two groups, not to mention the debut and gain a firm foothold, even if it is a big hit, it is very deserved.
Therefore, the focus is on the international market, Han Quanyou has gradually begun to reduce his activities in South Korea, in addition to the current "Birth of the Family", some invitations or major events, Han Quanyou generally does not accept any trips, and at present, Han Quanyou is more focused on the company.
At this time, Han Kwon-woo also understood why no matter Lee so-man or Park Jin-young, after becoming the president, there will be fewer and fewer activities, and the number of appearances in fans and cameras will also decline sharply, which is inseparable from the vast majority of the energy spent on managing the company.
At present, the main focus of SS company in the Korean market is rain, as Han Kwonwoo gradually began to reduce his activities, under the company's support and momentum, rain has quickly risen to the top and gradually become a first-class artist, and its fans and influence are no worse than the group, which is in the context of the general trend of K-pop music groups, it is very rare to be able to do this.
You must know that so far, the only solo artists who can not be afraid of the pressure and impact brought by the group are Han Kwonwoo and Lee Hyo-ri, plus the current rain. Of course, Han Quanyou knows very well that with his military service next year, he has lost his threat to Kim Jong Kook, and with "A Man", another cow man is about to be born in the solo world in the future. Maybe because of Han Kwon-woo's departure, without Han Kwon-woo, the biggest competitor, as long as he defeats Rain, Kim Jong Kook will even become the second solo artist to win a Grand Slam like in the historical trajectory. Winning the Grand Slam is a great achievement that Han Kwonwoo has not completed so far.
When I came to the practice room, I found that the trainees were practicing their dance hard under the watchful eye of the teacher. Seeing this, Han Quanyou didn't intend to affect the children's practice, so he walked directly to the sofa on the side and sat down quietly, while watching each trainee's practice with his eyes.
Han Quanyou's arrival was naturally also seen by the trainees, but after a few things, the trainees, who had long been used to it, did not stop practicing because of Han Quanyou's arrival this time, but continued to practice hard. Not only that, but also because of the appearance of Han Quanyou, a big idol and big boss, which stimulated the children even more, and the children's practice became more serious.
Looking at the children who were practicing more seriously, Han Quanyou also nodded with great satisfaction. As the saying goes, ten years of work on and off the stage, don't look at the artist's scenery on the stage, radiant, but his pay is far greater than the gain. Not to mention the ups and downs that will be encountered in the debut, let's take the trainee period as a calculation, how many potential and promising children are really able to give up their studies and specialize in practice, can persuade their families, and can endure heavy and boring practice.
It's difficult, it's really difficult, but only in this way will the artist achieve great success in his debut, which is inseparable from the artist's dedication during the trainee period.
It is precisely because of this that Han Quanyou attaches great importance to Zhao Quan and Min Xianyi, and the two can basically be said to be one of the people with the longest trainee career among all artists. It is no wonder that in the original history, after the two debuted from JYP, whether they were their own groups or individuals, they were able to achieve great success, which is inseparable from the long-term dedication of the two trainees.
It is not difficult to guess, or it is precisely because of the hard work of the two of them, and the long period of trainee career for no reason, JYP company either feels guilty about the two of them, or attaches great importance to the two of them, so they will give the two the best development. Min Xianyi is not obvious, compared to WG super red, Zhao Quan of 2am, because of the company's support, more participation in the show, and frequent appearance rate have made his popularity skyrocket.
"Alright, let's get some rest!" Just as Han Quanyou was thinking about these things, the words of the dancing teacher suddenly woke up Han Quanyou.
With the dance teacher's order, the first reaction of all the trainees immediately looked at Han Quanyou. In fact, people who are more familiar with Han Quanyou, Zhao Quan, Min Xianyi, Kim Hyun-ah, and Girls' Generation and others, came over to Han Quanyou with a smile and greeted Han Quanyou one after another.
"The teacher has worked hard, let's stop here today, wait a minute, I will arrange these children in specific groups, and today's training will be over." Greeting everyone with a smile, Han Quanwoo stood up and bowed to the teacher to thank him, while also announcing the order.
You must know that the trainee teacher of a brokerage company has an unusually high status in the company, because this person directly affects the future of the company, so no matter what brokerage company, the trainee teacher of the company is particularly respected, not to mention that in South Korea, the title of teacher alone has the weight of overweight and belongs to a special category.
Therefore, it is also very normal for Han Quanyou to bow and thank the trainee teacher. Don't look at these teachers, all of them take Han Quanyou's salary, but their status is not comparable to others.
"Hehe, well, I can also take a break by the way." Han Quanyou does not pay attention to issues such as etiquette and seniority, which also makes Han Quanyou gain the favor of many people, even if he is a special teacher.
After all the trainees bowed and saw off the teacher, everyone looked like Han Quanyou, so everyone understood that since Han Quanyou was here, there must be something to announce. Even if there's nothing to announce, everyone can chat.
Don't forget, Han Quanyou is not only the president of the company, but also a super popular artist, basically all the trainees of the company regard Han Quanyou as an idol. Being able to stay with their idols for a while and have more contact with them is naturally what trainees are most willing to see.
"Okay, okay, everyone sit down, the female voice sits on the sofa, and we big men can just sit on the ground casually. Okay, hurry up, I still have something to announce. ”
Looking at everyone with a smile, Han Quanyou couldn't help but command. With Han Quanyou's instructions, all the trainees laughed and began to follow Han Quanyou's instructions, the female trainees sat on the sofa, the male trainees sat on the ground, and everyone formed a circle.
Seeing that the bosses of the two female trainees, Min Xianyi and Taeyeon, took care of the other female trainees and sat down, and in the end, because they had no position, they were very natural, and they stood silently on both sides as a matter of course, as if they had long been used to it. Seeing this scene, Han Quanyou loved Min Xianyi and Taeyeon even more.
Turning his head and looking at the male trainees, Zhao Quan, an old qualification, the person who should stand up the most, was stunned and sat on the ground, not even moving, and kept waving his hand to signal everyone to sit over, as if he was focusing on himself.
Seeing this, Han Quanyou shook his head helplessly, somewhat frustrated. Zhao Quan's reaction is too undeserved, he has been in contact with the two girls Taeyeon and Min Xianyi for so long, why hasn't he learned any advantages from the two girls, and he is still so stubborn.
If it weren't for Zhao Quan's surname, and at the same time, he was still young, he would be ignorant, otherwise Han Quanyou would really have decided to find a time to train Zhao Quan well.
However, Han Quanyou felt a little comforted in his heart, at least Jin Junxiu, who had been a trainee for nearly two years in JYP, was still very sensible, and he looked like a big brother and took care of the other trainees to sit down, while he sat in the most remote position.
Looking at Kim Jun-so, Han Quanyou also had to sigh, the person who was originally a younger brother at 2pm, came to SS after a series of things, and he has really matured a lot, and now he has begun to know how to take care of other people.
"Alright, everyone sit down!" Seeing everyone sitting down, Han Quanyou clapped his palms to attract everyone's attention and said.
"First of all, congratulations, you have become the first batch of trainees of SS Company." With Han Quanyou's words, everyone couldn't help but applaud happily, and Zhao Quan and Jin Yubin, who like to spoof and are more confused, even shouted excitedly.
Looking at the excited crowd, Han Quanyou couldn't help but smile and continued: "Okay, okay, everyone be quiet." Stopping everyone's fighting, Han Quanyou smiled: "For you, whether it is me or the company, I value it very much." As long as you are willing and practice hard, then the company and I can also assure you that the company will make your debut and become a dazzling star on the stage. ”
This time, the cheers of the trainees were even louder, and Han Quanyou could understand this and did not stop everyone from cheering. After all, the willing member trainees have been practicing hard and boring year after year, not for what purpose, not to be able to debut as an artist.
"Alright, now I'm going to announce something to you." Seeing that it was almost over, Han Quanyou continued.
"In the past, because there were still few trainees in the company, the company did not have groups, and everyone practiced together. However, there are many trainees at present, so one practice room cannot accommodate everyone, so from then on, everyone has to start practicing in groups. ”
All the trainees sat and looked at Han Quanyou with serious faces, and everyone understood that after grouping, this meant that the company had preliminary arrangements for themselves, so everyone attached great importance to this matter.
"Taeyeon, you bring your eight younger sisters as a group, understand?" For Taeyeon, Han Kwonwoo really doesn't have anything to worry about.
"Well, Brother Kwon You, I know." Taeyeon nodded very firmly, of course she didn't have any opinion on Han Kwonwoo's orders, whether it was the previous MS or the current SS, Taeyeon Nine has always been together, and whether it is Lee so-man or Han Kwon-woo, they have decided to combine Taeyeon Nine into a group, which Taeyeon Nine is not unaware of.
"Well, then Min Xianyi, Min Xianyi, you will be in a group with Kim Hyun-ah, Park Yu-eun, Yu Huilin and Kim Yu-bin in the future, everything in your group will be responsible for Min Xianyi, do you have any opinions?"
What are the opinions, what can be the opinions. In front of the president, what opinions can people who are just trainees have, and what opinions do they dare to have. Besides, after getting along for a period of time, Min Xianyi has established a high prestige among the trainees by virtue of his maturity and stability, because he was with Han Quanyou earlier, and his prestige is even higher than that of Taeyeon. It can be said that Min Xianyi is definitely the person with the highest prestige among all the trainees. Let Min Xianyi be in charge of everything in the group, and the other four people did not have the slightest opinion.
"Zhao Quan, Li Xiuyong, Zheng Zhiyun, Zheng Zhenyun are a group of four, Zhao Quan will be responsible for everything in the future, Quan'er, don't be like you are now, you must have a team leader."
With Han Quanyou's words, everyone couldn't help laughing, making Zhao Quan bow his head very shyly. Therefore, on the issue of surname, Zhao Quan usually gives people the feeling of being a simple hanger, which also makes Zhao Quan very popular among the trainees.
"Jin Junxiu, Li Zhongyu, Lin Hexian and Yin Doojun, you are a team of four, Jin Junxiu is the team leader, Junxiu, you are also an old trainee, you will have to remind and guide the three of you more in the future, be responsible for everything, do you three have any problems?" In the face of Han Quanyou's inquiry, the other three said that they had no opinion.
Kim Jun-so nodded very firmly to show that he understood, and at the same time felt very grateful to Han Quanyou for letting him be a group, which means that Han Quanyou still values himself very much.
"Okay, the group is also divided, and from now on, everyone will practice and live according to their own group. I didn't practice today, you start moving now, all of them will be moved to me together, and you can mention anything you need to the company, as long as it is not too much, the company can meet you. ”
Under Han Quanyou's announcement, all the trainees left the trainees noisily and began to move busily.
Looking at the people who were making trouble and leaving, Han Quanyou couldn't help but smile, and unconsciously, the company also had twenty-two trainees, which was definitely an improvement for the SS company that had just been established and had nothing.
More importantly, these twenty-two are all very powerful, and Han Quanyou can ensure that they will make their debut and gain a firm foothold, these children are the future and hope of SS Company.
