Chapter 351: Inspecting Trainees
The next morning, Bai Ziyang went out alone with the invited interpreter. He wasn't interested, so he went to inspect what kind of trainees, and he didn't let him touch ......
Director Park, who is specially responsible for trainees and understands Chinese, personally accompanied Shi Lei and Weng Zhijian to inspect this group of trainees, especially the Chinese~Chinese trainees.
Last night, Weng Zhijian introduced South Korea's trainee system to Shi Lei, and Shi Lei was full of emotion after listening to it. Looking at the stars with infinite scenery on the surface, in fact, they are far from being as beautiful as they seem, especially when they have not debuted, life is very hard. Of course, there are some of them, who are lucky, and the company gives or sells shares to him to make him a shareholder.
In S?M Company, most of the trainees will not be able to debut in their lifetime, so the ratio of debuts reaches an outrageous 800 to 1.
Some are child stars, they have experience as actors since they were children, although when they are older, they may not have a play for a while, so they will work as trainees in S?M company to learn more acting experience, and at the same time they can go to school.
Most of the trainees are children from the age of ten to fifteen, with good talent and good luck, and they may be able to make their debut after about a year as a trainee. If you are unlucky, you may not be able to make your debut in three or five years, or even eight or nine years, and in the end, you will be directly abandoned by the company because you are too old.
For example, under the national military service system, when you reach a certain age, you can apply for an extension, but after the extension, you still can't make your debut, and then go to military service, and when you come back, those basic skills will be even worse, and your age will become older, how can you make your debut?
And these children who have been trainees since they were ten to fifteen years old, once they can't make their debut, some will even be out of touch with society. Because they have no other means of livelihood. At the age when it is most important to learn cultural knowledge, I have learned singing and dancing, but I have not yet completed it, and it is very difficult to find a job again.
Some of them are lucky enough to join the company. Starting from the bottom, I am always very familiar with the company, even if it is an artist assistant. Some of them are unlucky, and after being abandoned by the company, they can only fend for themselves.
Let's just say that many of the peripheral girls in South Korea are because they only have appearance, they don't have a good voice, they can't dance, and they can't act. Even comedians can't do it, they are defined as "bad students" by the company!
On the surface, the company provides food and accommodation for trainees, and even provides a little pocket money, but the so-called dormitory sometimes even becomes a guest house. If you haven't been able to make your debut, your appearance and figure are not bad, the company suddenly transferred you to a single room with a large bed, and it also has a separate ~ standing bathroom. Then you have to be careful, it is likely that you are practicing at some dance studio. has been spotted by a wealthy businessman through a single mirror, or a camera.
What can they do? In order to support her family, she can only be forced to be a peripheral girl, drinking and sleeping with her. After all, the income is still relatively high. Almost a million won, some even tens of millions of won. That's a lot more than when they debuted as a newcomer, and even more.
Besides, there is still the oppression of the company, if you don't agree, just wait to be blocked, there will never be any income, and wait until the company terminates the contract with you. You'll be even worse!
Then you say that you have some good voices and great dancing, but what about people with average figure and average appearance? It doesn't matter, they will have a special person to help you with your plasticity. Aren't you fat, then eat one meal a day, do a lot of exercise training, low blood sugar, just add it, anyway, it will make you lose weight quickly, and basically if you want to lose weight, they all have a set of professional methods.
And what about the face, what to do? Don't forget where this is, this is South Korea! Haven't you heard that South Korean beauty pageants are basically selected with one face? There will be cameras to shoot you from all angles to see if you have any dead spots. Then a professional will evaluate you and give you a partial facelift before your debut. Of course, those that need to be whole, the company has not encountered it, and the primary selection of the body will not pass!
"Shi Lei xi~~ Here, please, here are some of the artists we have not yet debuted, some people with great potential, see if your company is interested." Director Park bowed down and asked Shi Lei to go with him, which seemed to be very polite. But Shi Lei feels that there is no need to bow every time, you bow to me, do I have to return one, otherwise it seems that I am rude, grass, no wonder Bai Ziyang didn't come, he must know that it is particularly troublesome, this kid has obviously traveled to South Korea!
Shi Lei whispered to Weng Zhijian, and asked him to tell Director Park not to bow at every turn, just treat it as an ordinary friend, it's too tiring!
“one,two,three,four,five,six,seven,eight。 Everyone continues to contact, half an hour, can't stop! "A dance teacher was giving dance training to these trainees, and when he saw Director Park coming in, he hurriedly ran over.
"Shi Lei xi~~ These are trainees who have been trained by the company for two years, you see, all of them are very good, their figures, appearances, and dances?" Director Park said proudly.
Shi Lei glanced at it and shouted loudly in Chinese: "Which of you is a Chinese~Chinese?" ”
Two people were stunned for a moment, and were scolded loudly by the dance teacher: "What about training, what are you doing in a daze!" ”
"Are those two Chinese~Chinese?" Shi Lei asked.
"The two of them are not Chinese~Chinese, they are Chinese-Americans, but they understand Chinese." The dance teacher added.
Shi Lei nodded at Director Park: "Prepare the information of these two people as an alternative." ”
"Ah~~~~Ah~~~Ah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ah~~Ah~~Ah~~Ah~~~Ah~~"
In the front room, the sound of a teacher teaching students to practice vocalizations came from the voice. When Director Park saw Shi Lei's expression, he took Shi Lei over to see the people in the training room first.
"There are also two Chinese ~ Chinese boys here, do you want to take a look?"
"Okay, leave some information." Shi Lei took a look at it, there was no particularly strange look, and there was no makeup, maybe there was something to make in it.
After passing through several training rooms in a row, Shi Lei asked Shi Lei to write down all the Chinese~Chinese people in it, as well as those Chinese who knew Chinese, as well as those who knew Chinese. Anyway, the trainee's contract won't be too high, and the company will have no problem even if he buys it all.
"Wait a minute, Director Park, why are all the boys you show us, and there are no girls?" Shi Lei searched for a long time, but he didn't find Xia Xiaoyun, this girl, he agreed, he must sign back.
"The girls' training room isn't on this floor, let's go down to the next floor." Director Park's face bloomed with joy, and after a while, he recommended so many "bad students" materials in his hand to this Chinese~ Chinese, if these contracts can be sold, he should be able to get a lot of bonuses, maybe the power can increase a lot.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator, he heard a noisy sound coming from a training room, all in Korean, Shi Lei couldn't understand it, but listening to the tone, it seemed to be arguing.
Director Park was very angry, didn't he embarrass the company in front of the guests! Just now, he boasted to Shi Lei about how good the company's management is, and how humble and polite all the trainees are, and this is the quarrel in the practice room, which is like a slap in the face and spitting in his face!
"Shut up, what's the noise! This is the practice room, not a place for you to quarrel, who doesn't want to be a star, stand up immediately, I will terminate the contract for you! Director Park pushed open the door and shouted loudly.
"I, I don't practice anymore, I was recruited to learn acting, but when you come here, you can learn Korean first, and you have to learn singing and dancing, you are a fraud at all!" Xia Xiaoyun saw Shi Lei and them coming in, but as if he had seen a stranger, he didn't look here at all.
"You don't practice anymore, do you? Okay, who else? Director Park's expression was gloomy, and he had to teach these little girls a lesson, the company is not a place where you can come and go if you want.
"I don't practice anymore."
"I don't practice anymore."
"And me, don't practice anymore!"
Three little girls stood up in a row and shouted at Director Park.
The music teacher in this practice room was trembling with anger, she conscientiously taught these little girls to sing, and asked herself if she taught it well, why did they say that if they didn't practice, they wouldn't practice? I have to be in front of Director Park and the guests, doesn't this mean that she will also be expelled!
"Write down the names of all four of them, stop paying them, and let the four of them live in one room. If you don't want to be a trainee, you can buy your contract with money. The company has cultivated you for so long, and you want to just pat your ass and leave? Dream! "Director Park will not suddenly expel them, although with his power, expelling a few trainees with no potential is a matter of one sentence, but others must be seen clearly, the company's attitude!
Xia Xiaoyun was dumbfounded, how could this be? Shouldn't they just be fired? She originally intended to help Shi Lei save a sum of money to buy their contract, but she didn't expect that not only could not be saved now, but Shi Lei wanted to buy their contract, but it would be more difficult, would this make Director Park think that they were making trouble, and Shi Lei instructed her?
Since this is the case, Xia Xiaoyun simply made a big fuss: "Director Park, you either fire me or let me make my debut, I don't want to be a trainee, otherwise I will go to the court to sue you, I will talk nonsense and expose the company's unequal system!" You discriminate against our ~ national trainees, and the resources are clearly tilted towards your domestic trainees. ”
Weng Zhijian translated in Shi Lei's ear, and Shi Lei also frowned cooperatively: "What, Director Park, are the students you recommended to us all bad?" Do you discriminate against Chinese ~ Chinese? ”
"No, absolutely nothing. These are accidents, they must have found a good home and want to change jobs. However, at their level, they will not have a good development in the next family. Since they want to terminate the contract, then I will terminate the contract with them. Other trainees certainly don't have this, and our company's management system is very good. Director Park hurriedly explained.
As he was talking, there was another commotion in another training room.
Shi Lei looked at Director Park, and Director Park's face was about to turn black to the bottom of the pot...... (To be continued......)
