Chapter 642: First Impression
Core.dia is located in the Codec office building, Building 55, Seonneung-ro 107-ro, Gangnam-yeok Sam-dong, Seoul.
Since the company was founded in 2007, the company had to continue CJ Group's tradition of discovering top artists whose contracts expired, except for a boy group that was launched using CJ Group's power when it first opened.
Jin Guofeng sat in the car and looked at the office building where Core.dia was located, only to see that the paint on the exterior wall had peeled off, and at a glance he could see that it was an old-fashioned office building, perhaps with a history of more than 20 years.
"Brother Mingxiu go up with me, everyone else stays down and waits for me." Looking at the crowd of people constantly coming in and out of the office building, Jin Guofeng wisely left his guards behind, and only walked in with his own guards.
The two quickly took the elevator to the floor where Core.dia was located, and due to the limited number of people in the company, the entire company only rented two floors, one of which was used as a practice room, and the remaining floor was reserved for office use and a practice room for debuting artists.
Kim Kwang-so stood at the elevator entrance with a somewhat flustered face and waited for the arrival of the president, just now he was still discussing the merger with the company's management, he suddenly received a call from the chairman of the company, and in the face of the sudden attack of the president, he had to come over to greet him in person, on the one hand, he arranged for his subordinates to tidy up the company.
"President." Kim Kwang-so took more than a dozen employees of the company and greeted the chairman of the company with a respectful face, which was the first time they had met.
"Yes, show me around." Jin Guofeng waited until the employees bowed to ninety degrees before speaking, although he didn't care much about these etiquettes, but he also knew that his identity had changed a lot today, so he naturally didn't want to be underestimated by his subordinates because of these details, and tried his best to maintain his prestige.
Kim Kwang-so didn't understand the purpose of the president's visit, so he had to personally lead the way to visit a somewhat humble company, and then at the request of the other party, he came to the training floor of the trainees.
"That's how you train?" Jin Guofeng looked at the training teacher's ridiculous demonstration actions, and had a final understanding of the training of trainees by these brokerage companies.
Although he had already learned a lot of things beforehand, it was only when he saw it with his own eyes that he realized where the essential difference between this place and S.M's company was.
S.M's training of trainees can be said to be rare in an entertainment company, and the scale and cost are impossible for the outside world to know, and only those who have experienced it first-hand can feel the gap between the two sides.
"Take me to see the group of artists who are going to debut." Jin Guofeng was already mentally prepared for the next situation before he said his goal today.
"Okay, they're practicing upstairs." A layer of sweat broke out on Kim Kwang-so's forehead, although the chairman didn't say anything, but this already represented his attitude, that is, he was not satisfied with everything here, so he didn't have anything to say.
Park In-jeong sweated profusely and practiced dance with the dance teacher, for her, dance is always her weakest one, so in order to increase her chances of debut, she almost focused on practicing dance.
When she left the debut girl group of S.M company for family reasons, she will not regret it in her heart, in her heart, family ownership is the most important thing, and it is more important than her career.
After more than a year of wandering, she finally found a company that lacked a debut team, and when she used up the connections she had accumulated over the years, she herself worked hard to finally get a temporary place, and as for the final member list, it was up to the president to decide.
However, due to the management problems on the head office, the company delayed the launch of the new group, so that they postponed the decision on the debut.
"Everyone, pause." Just when Park In's mind was conjecturing, the president walked in with someone and stopped everyone's dance practice.
"Greetings, this is the president of the head office, I'm sure you all know each other." Kim Kwang-so pointed to Kim Guofeng and introduced him, and at the same time asked the children to salute and greet him.
"Hello." Jin Guofeng replied in a light tone, and when he walked into the house, he recognized Park Renjing in the crowd at a glance, the girl who used to have excellent singing skills in the company.
"Let's start, give you time to write three songs, let me agree with your strength, otherwise your debut will be delayed." Jin Guofeng gave the assessment a little cruelly, for him, the team in front of him is no longer suitable for the current entertainment industry, because they are too old and are not suitable for the current fast-paced entertainment industry.
When the girls heard the words of the young president in front of them, they immediately became nervous, they did not expect that at such a time, such an assessment of their fate would be carried out.
Jin Guofeng led people to the side of the room and gave up the central venue of the entire room, he wanted to see the strength of these girls with his own eyes, and make his own decision in the end.
The dance teacher glanced at the president of the company, and when he saw the president nodding, he called the girls over and told them what they were doing.
Soon the light music began to play, and the girls danced to the music, performing the three most important songs and dances of the moment with all their might.
As a music producer, with Jin Guofeng's ability, he can pick out the shortcomings of the girls at a glance, but in the end, the girls' performances still make him feel more mature, and it is not a big distance compared to S.M company.
"Not bad." Jin Guofeng left this very simple sentence and left the practice room, leaving the girls' hearts full of doubts.
"Is that him?" The shock in Park Injing's heart was unknown to others, she didn't expect that the person who was kicked out of the company would become the boss of her new company in the blink of an eye.
Kim Kwang-so's office, a bright room, a simple office, at this time on the chair that originally belonged to him, sat the chairman Kim Guofeng, and the host sat in the guest's seat.
"Their abilities are still good, and their looks are also very good, but they are not young anymore, and the debut age of the current idol group is based on ten generations." Jin Guofeng commented simply and straightforwardly, although he has no prejudice against the team he has seen just now, he is not very confident about the team composed of twenty generations.
"I've read your information, since you plan to debut as a six-person debut, then there were two more people in the room just now, haven't you chosen yet?"
"Yes, President. They're all in between, so I'm still thinking about it. ”
Kim Kwang-so is also making his debut as a girl group for the first time, so he naturally has a lot of worries, for fear that his decision will bring losses to the company.
"In this way, you are bringing their parents in, asking them what they think at home, telling them about the cruelty of the entertainment industry in person, so that they can be prepared enough to see if anyone retreats." Although Jin Guofeng already has other plans in his heart, he will not easily decide who will make his debut.
"You should be busy with the company's affairs first, and their debut will not be busy deciding."
"In the future, you will be responsible for the operation of the company, and you will not have to interfere in issues such as the selection of members and the training of trainees." Jin Guofeng only made it clear at this time, the visit just now has explained a lot of things, the other party is a very good talent, but he doesn't know enough about things in the music industry, so he decided to follow the model of S.M company, and separate the specific operation of the company and the affairs of cultivating artists, so as to ensure that the company is professional enough.
"Yes, President." Kim Kwang-so had already prepared for it, so there was no surprise about the president's decision.
After saying the matter, Jin Guofeng also left the company, he also had to visit other companies to understand the details of these companies, only by grasping the first-hand situation, he could make the right decision.
