Chapter 138: A Warning of Failure

"I don't owe you ...... now"

Park Hyo-min sat up from the bed abruptly, and the sunlight shining through the curtains was imprinted on the pink sheets, scattering a pink halo. But the girl didn't have time to feel this comfortable scene, since Ji Ran's incident, she would often dream of the moment when the other party helped her block the gun.

"Hey, I'm evil?" Park Hyo-min rubbed her head, because what she should focus on more than these is her debut. But since he knew that Ji Ran had returned, the heart that had obviously calmed down became agitated again.

Sitting on the bed and being stunned, the girl scratched her hair irritably! She had never been so entangled in her life. Like Ji Ran? The girl asked herself this question, too. But even she can't give the answer.

"Ernie, wake up so early!" Park Hyo-min's sound woke up Park Ji-yeon, who was in the same room.

After deciding on the debut candidates, the five girls lived together. Park Ji-yeon and Park Hyo-min share a room, and Han Eun-jung shares a room with two other girls.

"I can't sleep, I'm going to a show today." Park Hyo-min barely squeezed out a smile, I don't know if it was because of Ji Ran's influence, her relationship with Park Ji-yeon became more and more intimate. If you use any word to sum it up, then the two are - best friends.

"Ernie nervous too?" Park Ji-yeon, who was still a little lazy lying in bed, suddenly came to her senses, and she couldn't sleep last night.

"Nonsense, it's my first time on stage." The topic shifted quite smoothly, and after letting go of the tangle in their hearts, the two girls got up and washed up in the midst of teasing each other.

All the treatment after the debut and before the debut is completely different, and the arrangements such as nanny cars, assistants, and agents are the most basic. I have to say a coincidence here, of course, the five girls are more than just an agent, one of them is Park Ji-yeon's old acquaintance, Li Zhibing.

When the group came downstairs to the apartment, Li Zhibing accompanied another agent and had been waiting for a long time.

"Good morning Zhibing OPPA!" If Park Ji-yeon has any acquaintances in the company, in addition to Han Eun-jung and Park Hyo-min, the one in front of her will be added.

"Good morning, take a good look today, my future is all on you." Li Zhibing half-joked about the speaker, but in fact he was telling the truth.

I don't know if the company is crazy, strictly speaking, one agent for a five-person group is enough, but he was arranged to be Park Ji-yeon's personal agent. To put it simply, it is a kind of preferential treatment in disguise. But this point was not pointed out, so Park Ji-yeon didn't know that Li Zhibing was actually in charge of her alone.

Next to Park Ji-yeon, four girls, Park Hyo-min, Han Eun-jeong, Lee Ji-ah, and Yang Ji-yeon, greeted Li Zhibing respectively, and then after a few greetings, they got into the car directly. Their business today is not a little bit, first go to the beauty salon to make up and styling, and then participate in the publicity event.

In fact, if nothing else, the five of them will go to the TV station to sing under the company's arrangement after a week of publicity.

Here I have to talk about the process of releasing albums by artists in the Korean entertainment industry, whether you are a newcomer or an old fritter! All singers and IDLs who have released new works will perform live on stage in song programs held by the three major TV stations. Then the ranking is based on the album sales in a week, as well as the live audience scores, plus SMS voting, etc., and uses this relatively fair way to determine the quality of a song.

The release of an album by a veteran is called a return, and the newcomer is a newcomer! It's called debut.

So strictly speaking, the five girls can't be considered to be debuting before they participate in any face-to-face audience shows. It's just that the debut record was broadcast, as well as the promotional video prepared by the company, which can only be called - preparing for debut.

This time, CCM prepared a single for five girls called "Good People", and the song is positioned in the traditional RB lyrical style! As for the quality, it depends on the response after the release. But in fact, what the five girls don't know is that Kim Kwang-so has not figured out their positioning at all.

The word T-ara is derived from Tiara, which means crown, queen. The moral is much simpler, I want the whole group to become the queen of the song world.

But I have to say one thing here, Kim Kwang-so used to be the director who managed the artist agency, helped the artist arrange the formation of notices, and cooperated. So T-ara, strictly speaking, is his first attempt at launching a new group.

In game terms, this guy is a full-level tuba learning life professional skills, and it's okay to be rusty. But Kim Kwang-so also played a little clever, among the five girls in T-ara, Lee Ji-ah and Yang Ji-jin are veteran trainees who were poached by him after the debut failure of GOOD. Han Enjing is a veteran who has performed on stage and has a lot of acting experience.

Even Park Hyo-min, who has no stage experience, has already starred in some MVs, and is still a veteran trainee of JYP who has jumped ship.

This is also the reason why he knew that Li Zhiya and Han Enjing had some contradictions, but he had to put the five of them together. But he underestimated the conflicts between people, and also overestimated his control over the trainees.

In a large store near Cheongdam-dong, five girls, who have been busy since waking up in the morning, sit tiredly in a makeshift waiting room.

"Ernie, I'm so hungry!" Park Ji-yeon had a bitter face, looked at Han Eun, who also looked tired, and wailed. Their breakfast was a few gimbaps, which Li Zhibing prepared for Park Ji-yeon.

"Bear with me, there are a few more performances." Han Enjing smiled bitterly, tiredness is secondary, as long as the propaganda effect can be achieved, what is it to endure a little hardship.

What really annoys Han Enjing is that Li Zhiya seems to be becoming more and more unscrupulous.

But the girl didn't have time to think about this, because the agent came again, at the urging of the other party! Park Ji-yeon lazily got up from her seat, that's right! It's by climbing. Because the girl had been lying on the chair all the time, her head resting on the backrest.

Next to him, Park Hyo-min also collapsed on the chair without any image, and Lee Ji-ah sat alone in the corner and didn't know what he was thinking. As for Yang Zhiyu, the girl is doing well on both sides.

"Alright, everyone prepare! When you go on stage, you will show the tacit understanding when recording the MV, remember, you must not be too restrained. Li Zhibing can be regarded as a more experienced deposit, although he has not been an agent, but he has been an assistant for several years before.

Under Li Zhibing's urging, the five girls gathered in a circle and shouted cheers in unison!

"What's going on!" It was just when the five girls were cheering together that Li Zhibing noticed something unusual. Li Zhiya and Yang Zhiyu obviously didn't seem to be excited, as if they were coping with something. And Han Enjing also opened her mouth to speak, but she stopped talking.

Li Zhibing, who couldn't help but have a bad premonition in his heart, pulled Park Ji-yeon, who was walking at the back, he was not a senior executive of the company, so he naturally didn't know what was happening in the practice room: "What's going on with Li Zhi-ah?" ”

There are no superfluous words, Li Zhibing's current future is completely tied to Park Ji-yeon, and the only thing he can count on is that this seventeen-year-old girl can catch fire.

"Don't you know?" Park Ji-yeon looked at Li Zhibing suspiciously, and after thinking about it, she told the other party about the conflict in her trainee period: "Zhibing OPPA, I don't take the initiative to trouble her now, but she still looks like she ignores her." ”

"Why didn't you say it sooner!" Li Zhibing feels very aggrieved now, no wonder the five of them seem to have a sense of distinction, it turns out that Li Zhiya and Han Enjing are in a cold war. But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but smile bitterly after he knew it: "Have you ever quarreled?" ”

This question is a bit direct, but Li Zhibing must ask clearly!

"Hey, Enjing Oni is very concerned about the overall situation and didn't provoke her." Park Ji-yeon glanced at the other party, although Li Zhibing is her senior, but the girl can't show a respectful attitude.

"That's good." Li Zhibing touched his cheek, and then didn't ask more. The fact that the conflict has not fully erupted means that there is still a chance to redeem it.

In the subsequent performance, his idea was also confirmed! Although Li Zhiya ignores the other people in private, she will still maintain a superficial harmony on the stage, although there are not many intimate interactions, but at least keep a smiling face.

At the headquarters of the Yeouido MBC TV station building, Ji Ran was wearing casual clothes and stood at the door looking at the passing crowd with some distraction.

"Ji Ran XI?" Just as he was in a daze, a man in a black suit trotted up to him and asked respectfully.

"Huh?" Ji Ran turned his head and looked at the other party suspiciously, but then remembered the purpose of his coming here: "I am!" ”

"I'm Gao Yongyi, you can contact me if you have anything in the future." The young man introduced himself with a smile, but his eyes kept looking at Ji Ran: "Secretary Xia has already told me of your request, and I will help you open a separate section as publicity." ”

"Oh? It's so easy! Ji Ran was a little surprised, his company had just been established, and there were zero manpower or anything. After returning to China, Ji Ran, whose assets had been unfrozen, used 5 billion won as start-up capital and directly registered a media company.

The name is also very simple, FW Media!

In order to put up the shelves as much as possible, Ji Ran thought of a very interesting method! That is, to do an audition with Guò TV station, and then pick out the person you want to be a clerk.

"This ...... Hehe! Ji Ran's words choked Gao Yongyi, don't look at his young age, his other identity is the director of the marketing department, the typical position is not high, but the representative with real power is quite large: "But in terms of funds, Ji Ran XI can't be stingy." ”

"Of course, how can there be people who don't pay for things." Ji Ran said very simply, he lacks everything now, but he is not short of money: "But Gao Yongyi XI, my company has just been established, and I want to make a representative program to show off, I don't know if you have any good recommendations?" ”
