Nowadays, companies like S.M have smaller auditions every weekend, and the number of participants ranges from 30 to 50 at a time.

Selected contestants are informed of their selection as trainees two weeks later.

Each holiday, there will be a large-scale selection and a global selection for foreigners, such as Koreans from China, Thailand, Japan, and overseas, mainly Korean Americans and Korean Canadians.

Therefore, there are hundreds of trainees in S.M now, and it is impossible to stay there all the time with such a large crowd, but it is quite good that the company can launch one or two new combinations every year.

The selection of a wide range of S.M companies naturally has to choose the best of the best, which shows that there is a lot of competitive pressure on trainees, and if a trainee wants to make his debut, there will definitely be dark things in it.

Intrigue or flattery are inevitable, or they are scary because of their huge family background, and others have to keep their heads down, like Sunny and Cui Siyuan, naturally they don't need to do this.

But in Kim Do-joon's eyes, everyone who can make his debut is not a simple person.

Even if Taeyeon wins the first place in the singing competition, the person who can make his debut is definitely not only based on strength, but also by luck and personality, at least, Taeyeon's luck is very good, if someone doesn't quit before her debut, maybe the captain won't be her turn.

There are hundreds of various selection competitions every year, and not every champion can make his debut.

In order to make their debut, trainees must sacrifice some things, such as time and money. Body. Even the appearance has to be adjusted.

And after the debut. To reach the level of red, there are more things to discard.

Although it is said that people are inherently good, this world is not as fair as we imagined, and trainees can only understand it this way in order to become artists.

However, Kim Do-joon is quite relieved about Taeyeon's point. This is her debut like this, and it is really difficult for others to take a fancy to it.

It's too green and too small, neat Qi bangs, with big watery eyes, the same as a junior high school student, plus the height is not very high, and the childish face, people who don't know still think it's what they do.

Even if there are something like unspoken rules, in Kim Do-joon's opinion. Others won't pay attention to her, and anyone who has seen Taeyeon's appearance when she first debuted will know.

Wealthy businessmen and chaebols. There is almost no interest in such a girl, of course, it is not excluded that it is different, but a woman like Lee Hyori is more likely to arouse the desire of others to conquer.

Tall figure, sexy complexion, charming eyes, more in line with the appetite of the powerful.

So Kim Do-joon made the first move, and held Taeyeon in the palm of his hand early, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to, so he was smarter!

The entertainment industry is like a big dye vat, the longer you stay, the dirtier it will be, there are all kinds of transactions, all kinds of darkness, it seems that everyone is not surprised.

For an advertisement, for a variety show, or even for a commercial performance, you can sell yourself.

Becoming the lover of a wealthy businessman and choosing to be fostered is not uncommon, even if it is a big-name artist, he can't escape the influence of the chaebol.

This is South Korea, a world ruled by the real chaebol, Choi Ji-woo, who is famous in South Korea, is not also rumored to be circulating in an X-file, pointing out that she is a famous courtesan between political and business tycoons, as long as she drinks, her behavior is out of control, and her image is very different from that of ordinary times.

This world has never come out of nowhere, why it will be spread to a certain person's head for no reason, there must be something related to her, which will lead to scandals.

So no matter what happens, only by controlling the situation yourself can you sit firmly behind the scenes and control everything.

Everything Kim Do-jun has now is paving the way for the future, just to be able to live more freely and freely.

It's not an easy thing to do to be truly free.

"By the way, how does S.M train trainees now, is there any difference?"

Kim Do-joon continued to ask, looked out the window, it was not far from JYP, and he had already arrived at Cheongdam-dong, and there were more pedestrians on the road, and even the speed had decreased a lot.

Kim so-young held the steering wheel while looking ahead, Cheongdam-dong is indeed the most prosperous area, and if you are not careful, you are prone to accidents.

"S.M's training of newcomers to singers is divided into two projects, I used to be in a group, and I am not very familiar with the solo department, but it is strange that the cost of S.M training a group is much lower than that of training solo singers, isn't it interesting?"

According to the conventional thinking, it will definitely cost more to train a group of people than to train a person, but in terms of the system of S.M., it is completely the opposite.

"Oh? And this kind of thing, why is that? ”

Kim Do-jun frowned slightly, and said a little strangely, the cost of cultivating solo singers is actually higher than that of the group, isn't it a joke?

Kim so-young grinned and smiled lightly, of course he knew the doubts in Kim Do-joon's heart, and immediately replied.

"Cultivation combinations, For example, if you want to train a men's five-person group, then the number of people to be circled should be 3 times it, that is, 15 people, such as the current TVXQ, many members of Superjunior were trained with them at that time, such as Han Geng, but for some reasons, he was not selected TVXQ, after investigation and second, three big screenings, about half of it was brushed out, leaving five to seven people, and then, began to take on the role of determining, the biggest feature of the group combination is that there is always a suitable appetite for fans, that is, Everyone's role must be clearly divided, if the personality and charm points are very similar, then there is no stay in the group, you can only choose someone else! ”

The reason is very simple, the members of the group cannot all be the same, for example, Girls' Generation, Taeyeon is in charge of the lead singer is the soprano, and Hyoyeon and Yuri are in charge of the main dance. Jessica is in charge of the iceberg princess and vocals. Sunny is cute and coquettish with a short body. Pani is a returnee, Xiuying and Yuna are both tall, good at acting, and affinity, especially Yuna, which is more in line with the pursuit of Koreans.

As for Xu Xian, he is a special one, the image of a good girl. It's also a different kind of charm.

Generally speaking, as a lead singer, you have to have an easy-going personality, preferably very good popularity, and you also need the spirit of dedication to being funny at all times.

It is precisely because of this that major entertainment companies are very cautious about launching solo singers, just look at BOA.

In order to cultivate BOA, the entire S.M company is the result of all the efforts of the entire company, and all resources are concentrated. Therefore, her debut can only be successful. Don't fail.

If you look at JYP's Park Ji-yin and Rain, and YG's Seven, you can see that without all-round talent, singing and dancing, it is impossible to train solo artists.

As for the group combination, it is much easier, you can arrange different members to carry out personal activities, acting, musicals, variety shows, solo, etc., of course, the company will also have several more incomes, and solo singers will not encounter this.

Unless it becomes popular, it is the fate of failure.

This is also why the major companies have gradually shifted their focus, or concentrated their resources on the body, constantly innovating, on the one hand, digesting the company's original trainees, and not letting them practice for so long, to the last result.

On the other hand, it is just to keep earning money and make up for the loopholes that the company owes.

"What about CJES? What do you think, Brother so Yong? ”

This matter has become one of the cruxes in Kim Do-joon's heart, the development of the security business is in full swing, but the affairs of artists and trainees cannot be developed.

It's not that Baek Chang-so doesn't work hard, but he doesn't seem to have found a better and more suitable goal.

Even if he poached, the other party's reputation was not loud enough to attract everyone's attention, and in the end it was useless, and he had to bear some unnecessary expenses, which Kim Dojun didn't want to see.

Kim so-young held back for a while before he said this.

"I think it's better to poach first!"

"Isn't this nonsense? Don't I know how to do it, I'm asking! ”

Jin Daojun was a little speechless, compared to cultivation, the fastest effect is poaching, but where to dig people and what kind of digging is more troublesome.

Kim so-young looked ahead, and suddenly thought of a combination, but he heard the news by chance, and he didn't know if it was true, since Dojoon asked so, he still had to let it go.

He spoke in a low voice.

"Recently, I received the news, TVXQ five people had a big quarrel, it seemed to be very unpleasant, it seemed to be for some kind of cooperation endorsement, at first the five people agreed, ready to do it together, and then it seemed that the company intervened, and instantly divided into two factions, Yun Hao and Changmin walked together, and the other three were grouped, if nothing else, they are likely to have a showdown with the company, either agree, or submit a termination lawsuit to the court, the slave contract of the S.M company, is not implemented for one year or two years!"

How many groups have been completely disbanded because of this contract, most of them are due to the company's institutional culture, artists are stars, stars, and assembly line products.

Once you let go easily, then the next troubles are one after another, and it is very likely that you will ask to modify the treatment in the contract before you have made much contribution to the company, which is completely disproportionate to the company spending so much money to make the artist popular.

So S.M is very tight here, except for TVXQ's treatment modified three or four times, there are very few combinations that have the opportunity to modify the contract, at least not now.

"You mean, we can take the opportunity to intervene and poach the other three?"

Kim Do-joon's eyebrows tightened together, he wrinkled his nose and spoke.

This idea is not a good idea, and with the fame of those three people at TVXQ, it can completely set off CJES even more loudly.

Fans have a fart relationship with themselves, how can TVXQ's claimed 800,000 fans change the decisions made by S.M?

It's ridiculous to think about it, and it's also a funny thing to be forced to leave the company in the end for the sake of the artist you like.

However, if the three of them can come to CJES, they can come forward in person and resolve it, but the price to be paid is not small!

If Kim Do-joon really wants to accept these three people, he has to think about what S.M will do to Taeyeon and Girls' Generation, unless a reasonable exchange of interests is reached, otherwise S.M will definitely not let TVXQ, a cash cow, be completely dissolved.

They are not fools, and neither is Kim Do-joon.

For a while, the brains of the two people were a little confused.

Until I came to JYP, I didn't think of a better way, and Kim Do-jun had already kept this matter in mind, as for what to do in the future, it depends on the changes and development of things.

When he came to Park Jin-young's office, Kim Do-joon found someone sitting opposite Park Jin-young. (To be continued......)
