Chapter 56: Prologue of the Girl Group
"Our company will only launch a maximum of five combinations, and it will depend on the situation in the future, as for the time of launch, it will not be fixed, it depends on the strength of the trainees." Lin Fei said.
"When the time comes, there will be too many combinations in this circle, so it will be so difficult to develop." Han Enjing sighed.
"It's you who think too much, and it's not what you think, it's what the later combinations think. You won't have much time to develop in China in the future. After all, if there are more of these combinations, the government must let those who debuted early go out, otherwise the newcomers will not have a chance to come out at all. Lin Fei shook his head and said.
"Aren't we going to be under a lot of pressure in the future?" Park Hyo-min asked softly with a bitter face.
"Big is for sure, after all, the market is so small, if there are more people fighting, the pressure will not be small. However, as long as you develop well overseas, then your domestic popularity will not decrease, except for Song Qian, you should be able to understand. Lin Fei sighed lightly.
"Well, overseas achievements are important." The women nodded, they all understood this.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about that, after all, I know that these things will be arranged, just like this one now." Lin Fei said softly.
……
South Korea, Seoul, within Crown Entertainment.
"Yun Xin Oni, does OPPA really have to come back in a month?" Xu Zhuxian looked at Li Yunxin and asked.
"yes, he left yesterday. Didn't he tell you? Li Yunxin said with some doubts.
"I haven't been online during this time. OPPA He doesn't use his cell phone much, so he didn't have contact. Xu Zhuxian said.
"Xiaoxian, do you have anything to do with your OPPA?" Li Yunxin said softly.
"There's nothing to do, I just want to tell OPPA that our company has been selected in the past few days. I've been chosen. Xu Zhuxian said happily.
"Xiaoxian, you have to continue to work hard, your company will have to replace it after every primary election." Li Yunxin said softly. The girl in front of her feels very good, real, serious, and traditional.
"Got it, Yunxin Oni." Xu Zhuxian said seriously.
"I'll leave you a message for OPPA, he will be very happy to know, although he is in the mountains now, but sometimes he has a signal." Li Yunxin said softly.
……
"How is the market for girl groups now?" Kim Young-min rubbed his head and asked.
"President, two more girl groups have been launched in the circle this year, but they still have little impact. I think we'll have to wait. The head of the marketing department said.
"What about the two combinations?" Kim Young-min asked with a frown.
"The strength is very good, but it's a pity that the time for my debut is not right. One is a trio, the other is a four-member group, or in the form of a first-generation girl group. ”
"Looks like it's going to have to change." Kim Young-min sighed.
"How's that combo of the crown?" Kim Young-min asked after thinking for a moment.
"The strength of that combination is not easy to evaluate, because their strength is very average, they can do everything, and their individual strength may not be too strong, but they all meet the standards of A-level trainees. And all the grades in that group are very good, and now there is a Seoul National University and Ewha Womans University. The marketing department said with some shock.
"Really?" Kim Young-min stood up all of a sudden and asked. His face changed dramatically.
"Yes, due to the crown company, there are very few personnel, and there are not many trainees, so I only got the information of those trainees a few days ago, and many of them are not very detailed, and the basic things are inadvertently said by some teachers."
"When will they debut, is there any news?" Kim Young-min asked with a frown after sitting down.
"It should be early next year."
"It seems that they are really menacing, I used to underestimate them." Kim Young-min sighed.
"President, we can launch the group later, but now the girl group is facing such a situation, and it is good for someone to take the lead."
"You know what, if it does hit, do you know how big the impact is? In the future, our girl group will have to follow them. Kim Young-min said with some annoyance.
Kim Young-min slowly thought about how to make her girl group rise first. After all, the first-generation group S.E.S was able to suppress the strength of FIN.K.L, which was also not to be underestimated, mainly because it debuted first, and now the second-generation girl group is time to reshuffle the cards, which company wants to take the lead, after all, the first one is always the most popular, as long as it can rise first, then in the face of the market that is still blank, you can take a full bite.
First of all, what he ruled out was to use other water sections to deal with, after all, those two universities are not easy to mess with, and the two leaders of the company are not easy to provoke, for this point to provoke them, although he is not afraid, but it is not worth it.
As for blocking them in terms of broadcasting resources, it is even more impossible, after all, the two leaders of the other party will definitely give face, not that they can be blocked if they want to, and the other party is now fighting with the TV station, even if they want to, there is no such possibility.
At the end of the day, you have to look for the answer in your own company's portfolio. But soon he thought of a good way, that is, to let the other combinations of his company bring this new combination, then the initial popularity must be much higher than other combinations, and with more resources invested, it is not impossible to surpass the portfolio of the crown company without roots.
"Now we must pay close attention to the selection of the members of the girl group, and we must determine it as soon as possible." Kim Young-min said in a deep voice. Now that you have a choice, the time of debut can't be too far behind, and the rise of a group may be enough in just one or two months.
"But the president, there are 17 people now, and it's still a primary election, and it will take three months to choose the one that is probably suitable."
"Then speed up, let those teachers evaluate those people, and select people with strong strength, potential, and appearance. At least 7 people are allowed to travel. Kim Young-min said with some dissatisfaction.
"But Director Li said that his niece will join the company next year, and if we do this now, Director Li will not be able to explain it."
"Then let his niece come over early, forget it, I'll talk to him about this." Kim Young-min said after thinking for a while.
……
"Li Xiuman, what do you want? Didn't you say that you will be in charge of the men's group and I will be in charge of the women's group in the future? In a prison, Kim Yingmin saw Li Xiuman and said with some dissatisfaction.
"What's the matter, I let my niece go to the company with her strength, isn't it too early for the next girl group? My niece worked as a trainee at S.M for a few years. And its strength also meets the requirements for debut. Li Xiuman said helplessly.
He already knew that there was a problem with his brother's company, so his niece would definitely have to choose another choice in the future, this circle was so complicated, of course he hoped to return to his own company.
"Well, it's hard to put it into words." Kim Young-min sorted out his mood and sighed softly. Speaking of which, he and Li Xiuman used to be good friends, but because of their brother's relationship, the relationship between the two is not good, but it is not bad.
"Could it be that something is wrong with the company? Didn't I plan it all? As long as it goes according to plan, how can something go wrong? Li Xiuman frowned and asked.
"At the end of last year, a new entertainment company was established, and the company's assets were almost 200 million US dollars after registration." Kim Young-min said in a deep voice.
"Although this circle has a lot of money, it is useless to rely on more money, is our company still afraid that he will not succeed. And why haven't I seen anything about that company. Li Xiuman said dissatisfiedly.
"The company is very complicated, and the owner of the company is a Chinese man with a mysterious background, who only knows that he has been recognized by the government and has all the benefits that his own citizens have in the country. And the company is now in charge of the little princess of Samsung. ”
"As for the fact that you haven't heard the news, it's very simple, except for some people in the circle who went there when it opened, they didn't do anything other than cooperate with the TV station for two TV series; Even if the cooperative TV series is dominated by the TV station, they don't care at all. Kim Young-min sighed.
"In that case, why did you react so much?" Li Xiuman asked.
"Their company will launch a girl group early next year, which is very strong, and now there are students from two major universities, and next year it may be six. One of the two is from the Department of Business Management at Seoul National University. Jin Yingmin said with a wry smile, as a person in the circle, he knows what this means, if it is like the music department, the drama department is fine, but the business management department, this requires high credits, and the impact is not small.
"How strong are they?" Li Xiuman said helplessly. He also knows this, and he also knows that as long as the other party does not have problems, they will not dare to attack each other indiscriminately, otherwise it will not be so easy to deal with when the school will find trouble.
"The specific situation is not clear now, but I only know that the singing and dancing skills are very average, and the personal strength is compared with the A-level trainees of our company, and I think it may be stronger than many A-level trainees in our company. After all, I know that the teachers in their company are really capable, except for the teachers provided by Ewha Womans University, the others are basically teachers who are invited by Europe and the United States. Kim Young-min said with a frown.
"And their company's trainee model is very different from ours, their one-year effect can often be longer than that of other companies, and they have invested a lot in this." Jin Yingmin continued with some helplessness.
"They have a partnership with Ewha Womans University?" Li Xiuman asked with some surprise. In his opinion, there is nothing to increase the investment of trainees, after all, he can understand this in a new company with so many assets.
"Well, we started working together last year, and we worked with us twice, but we also paid a trainee. They exchange TV drama roles and trainee training fees for trainees. Kim Young-min smiled bitterly. knew that he would not agree to change trainees, but thinking of the impact of the first TV series, he would feel that it was worth it.
"If it's me, I'll change too, after all, in our company, except for a limited number of trainees, it doesn't matter if there are one or two less." Li Xiuman nodded and said.
"In addition to our three major companies, there are plans to launch a girl group next year. But you also know that if whoever breaks out first, who will be able to profit the most, I am not worried about the trainee resources of JYP company, there are only two people with outstanding strength now, and DSP company does not have to worry, their trainee resources are less, only one is good. So even if they launch a girl group, I don't really care about it at all. ”
"And Crown, their company does not openly recruit trainees, but relies on professionals to look everywhere, and find some trainees in some other companies, and now there are only more than 20 trainees in that company, and their company only launches a women's group."
"Their company's first girl group, and the company's namesake girl group Tara has decided to launch it at the beginning of next year, and according to our plan, the girl group will be launched in the second half of the year, with the strength of that group, I think you know this, if they break through first, it will not be good for us, so I am also ready to launch a girl group in the first half of the year." Kim Young-min said.
