Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
YGENTERTAINMENT is the most representative hiphot music company in Korea, mainly the company with the most hiphop singers, and it is also one of the entertainment companies with the best reputation in Korea.
YG is Korea's most representative entertainment company focusing on R&B and hiphop music. The year 2oo6 marks the 1o anniversary of the company's founding. Before YG was founded, hip-hop music was not very popular in Korea, and the reason why YG focused on the hip-hop market was precisely because of Yang Hyun-suk's relationship. At that time, the group of Seo Tae-zhi and the children could be called the originator of the Korean hip-hop style, and the emergence of this group made the hip-hop music culture quickly penetrate into South Korea.
YG Entertainment has a complete set of star-making teams, including: recording, music line, artist packaging, etc.; At the same time, it also has a top producer, songwriter, powerful singer-songwriter and a creative planning team. YG focuses on hip-pop music and has released famous artists such as Jinusean, 1Tym, Bigmama, Lexy, mastau, etc.
Kim Guofeng heard Yoon Daxun's request to visit yg, and he also wanted to see how this hio-hop company was different from other companies, among the many entertainment companies in South Korea, yg is the company with the best reputation in South Korea and the most harmonious among the stars, so it is called the ygFami1y family.
"Okay, I'll go see what's different from S.M." He hasn't been to another agency yet.
"Got it, I'll make an appointment with them." Yin Daxun nodded, this is also the first investment business he has reached, and it is not bad to let Jin Guofeng go to see YG Company, after all, he himself has been a trainee before and knows the doorway inside.
At the same time, Jin Guofeng also wanted to see how hiphop music differed from the K-pop music he studied.
Jin Guofeng thought in the car that the last time the two met was at the writers' annual meeting, they met with Professor Li Dongjun, and the other party led Xu Taizhi over together, which was when Xu Taizhi was promoting the new album.
The small building of YG company is not big and tidy, there are a few fans waiting for idols at the door, Yang Minshuo is here for his brother to welcome the investors who will come for a while, and he himself is also very curious, I don't know who the other party is.
After waiting for a while, a suV stopped at the door of the company, asked a few words before the company's security guard stepped forward, and then let the vehicle enter the company compound.
Yang Min-suk, who did not attend the writers' annual meeting at the end of last year, was not very interested in this kind of musician's occasion, and he is usually in charge of the company's operations.
"Hello Mr. Yin, who is this?" Yang Min-seok smiled and greeted Yoon Daxun, he knew a little about this M&A expert who was somewhat famous in Yeouido, and he didn't know what luck the other party had, and became a business assistant who didn't know who he was after going bankrupt.
Yang Minshuo, who originally came to the door of another car with a smile and waited for the real investor to get out of the car, is now a young man who walks down, looking similar to the company's trainees.
"Let me introduce you, this is my boss, Director Jin Guofeng." Yin Daxun has some understanding of the other party's thoughts, and he will be a little surprised to see such a young man.
"This is Director Yang Minshuo of YG Company, who is usually responsible for the company's operations, and is a brother to Director Yang Xianshuo." deliberately pointed out the identity of the other party to Jin Guofeng.
At the door, I saw the people from YG company come out, and the fans stepped forward to see that they were now the company's managers, not their idol artists, and they all dispersed in disappointment, and there was a little girl who didn't leave, but she didn't mean to step forward, she recognized this person as the director of the company, but she couldn't solve her own affairs, so she stayed here and waited for the person she was waiting for.
"Hello Director Yang!"
"Hello Director Kim!" Although he was a little surprised by the other party's age, Yang Minshuo reacted quickly and invited the other party to join the company.
"Come inside, please, my brother has some things to do, and he will come over soon." Originally, Yang Xianshuo wanted to come down together, but just now the people from the TV station were looking for him in a hurry, so he stayed and discussed with the other party.
"Since Director Yang is busy with some things, let's visit YG Company." Hearing that Yang Hyun-seok would not be able to come over for a while, he wanted to take advantage of his free time to visit YG Company and see what was different from S.M. Company.
"Okay, no problem." Although Yang Minshuo didn't know what the other party had in mind, he still agreed to the other party to visit the company.
Jin Guofeng visited yg company, he knew that there were many well-known soLo singers who had been trained here, many of whom were trained in cooperation with other companies, and they were responsible for record production, so the company's profitability was not very high.
However, the hiphop singers they have cultivated are still good, mainly because the audience is relatively small, fortunately, their company failed to launch the girl group I.T, which made the company doubt the ability of group artists in the industry, and the immediate launch of se7en can be regarded as saving the company, so that the company's long-term plan has not been affected.
"Director Jin, here is the boy group we are going to launch this time, and they have recently been filming their debut variety show." Walking and walking, he came to the practice room area, Jin Guofeng saw that the practice area here is not very large, there are only three or four rooms in total, it seems that their company's financial resources have not been able to maintain continuous practice investment, after all, this kind of investment takes several years, and I don't know if it can recover the cost, so I am very cautious about this aspect.
"Hello Director." As soon as Yang Minshuo opened the door and entered, the boys who were practicing inside saw that it was the director of the company, so they stopped dancing and followed the teacher to greet the director.
"Keep practicing." Yang Minshuo nodded with satisfaction, the members of the boy group this time have learned the lesson of the last time, and have already found an opportunity to expose them to the public in advance, each of them has some fan base, plus the debut record broadcast on TV this time, I believe that the response will be good in all aspects.
Captain, Kwon Zhilong has participated in their respective performing arts activities since he was a child, and has accumulated rich performance experience, and under the training of the company, he continues to participate in the performance of ygFami1y members.
In 1993, he participated in the children's variety show "BoBoBo" and the movie "Under the Taibai Mountain". In 1994, they debuted as a children's group RooRa and appeared on the stage of a Jamsil concert.
From 1996 to 2ooo years, he studied dance as a trainee at S.M. When I heard "cReam" by U-Tangnet in the fourth grade of elementary school, Kwon Ji-ryong, who was exposed to hip-hop and rap for the first time, was shocked and became obsessed with hip-hop music.
In 2oo1, with the song "My Age is 13 Years Old", the outstanding Rap strength attracted attention. Known as the "Genius RappeR", he joined YG Entertainment and underwent rigorous training.
From 2oo1 to 2oo6, he practiced at yg and performed on stage as a member of ygFami1y many times, including "Handsome Gentleman" at the age of 14. After six years of arduous trainee training, he has honed his strong will and excellent basic skills in the elimination competitions year after year.
Dong Yong Bae, at the age of 13, followed his brother to learn acting. Finally played the role of Xiao Sean in the mV of "a-yo", and since then he has entered yg company, and has followed ygFamILy on stage many times during his six-year trainee period, and participated in the recording of family albums. Arrive at YG at 6 p.m. every day and take the subway at 11 p.m...... Start the day with the diligent practice room, do chores, quietly do dance practice on the side, learn to sing with your ears and eyes, and clean the practice room as the end of the day...... It is not uncommon to miss the last train in the direction of Uijeong, spend a night in the basement, and take the subway to school early in the morning. Spending long nights in the cold basement has made the will stronger.
After a brief look at their hiphop dance, they left the practice room, and Jin Guofeng recognized that one of them was from the former S.M company, but he didn't stay for a few years before leaving, and he didn't expect to come here.
"Except for two people who have already been decided, the rest of them are in the process of selection?" Regarding the formation of a team of several people, the company is still a little disagreeable, conservative people insist on a team of two, this combination has been accepted by the market, and the more radical people want to form a team of four to six people like other companies, so that the number of fans that can be absorbed will be more, and the specific plan needs to be decided by his brother Yang Xianshuo.
Next, I went to the recording studio to visit, and the overall feeling to Jin Guofeng was that the company's supporting facilities were very complete, and the company's office space was larger than that of S.M, but S.M also had a branch of the company.
Slowly the group came to the company's conference room, Yang Minshuo had just arranged for the secretary to deliver tea and coffee, and Yang Xianshuo walked in.
"Brother, let me introduce you, this is the investor who invested in us, Director Jin Guofeng." Yang Minshuo introduced his brother.
"Is that you?" As soon as they met, he recognized the identity of the other party, the music producer who just helped Kim Jong Kook complete the triple crown, the disciple of Professor Lee Dongjun, the director of K.G Film Music Company and a series of identity materials, after all, he is a music producer, and he usually pays great attention to the news in this regard.
"Hello, Senior Yang Xianshuo." This time, Jin Guofeng greeted him according to his identity as a ruler, after all, the other party has been in this circle for ten years.
"Hello, Director Jin Guofeng, Professor Li Dongjun has taught a good disciple." Yang Hyun Suk motioned for everyone to sit down and talk.
"Where, Guofeng has just reappeared." Jin Guofeng said modestly.
"Guofeng, don't be too polite, I've listened to the album you helped Jin Zhong Guozhi zuò, it's very good." Yang Hyun-seok exclaimed, hearing his brother's words, Yang Min-seok realized that the other party was the one who helped Kim Jong Kook make the zuò album, he had just heard of each other, and had not met yet? I didn't expect to see each other this time.
"I don't know, why did Guofeng invest in our company? You can train new people on your own. Yang Hyun-seok said with some doubts, the five billion won can completely allow the other party to choose good personnel, and with the other party's music production ability, it can be launched into the market by itself.
"This? The main reason is that I am still inexperienced, and I am optimistic about the prospects of your company, so I have this cooperation. "He can't always say that it's because he invests in movies, and he doesn't know what to invest in because he has too much income, right?
Although Yang Xianshuo was a little dissatisfied with the other party's answer, he also knew that it was impossible to say anything, so he could only press the doubts in his heart.
"Since you have so much confidence in our company, then we will definitely work hard." Next, Kim Guofeng mainly chatted with Yang Hyun-seok about music, and the two had a common language in this regard, while Yoon Daxun and Yang Min-seok chatted about business things together.
"Okay, I'll wait for Brother Yang's move." Jin Guofeng smiled at the door of YG company and said to Yang Xianshuo that after this understanding, the two have become good friends.
"Where, it's just a small fight." Yang Hyun Suk said with a smile, he knew what the other party meant, if he hadn't started to play the first shot, he might have lost the same girl group as the previous year.
"You just wait for the company's summary meeting at the end of the year." Yang Xianshuo said arrogantly that he had a deep understanding of the experience of the last failure, and believed that he would succeed this time.
"President Yang, hello, this is my recent dance video and personal information, please consider accepting me." Just as a few people were talking, a little girl who had been standing at the door suddenly walked towards them, came to Yang Xianshuo, and after respectfully saluting, she handed over her information to Yang Xianshuo.
Jin Guofeng looked at the scene in front of him and felt very strange, this kind of scene is not seen in the S.M company, you can sign up for trainees every week during the winter and summer vacations, plus the selection competition is held from time to time, this kind of scene will not occur at all.
YG company is to hold a selection meeting every year during the winter and summer vacations to select qualified trainees, due to the company's limited funds, so the selection is very strict.
Yang Xianshuo looked at the bold girl in front of him, and saw that she had a very personal style in dressing, and her fashion sense was very good, so he took the information and said, "I'll take a look." He still appreciates these children who take the initiative to pursue their dreams, but it doesn't make him less demanding of selection.
"I'll let you know if it's qualified." Looking at the name on the information belt, Li Cailin, the age is sixteen years old, which is really a damp age.
Li Cailin heard that the other party would watch her dance video, and after saluting with thanks, she left quickly, and at this time she felt a little reckless and embarrassed.
"Brother Xianshuo's company is not very famous, and it actually makes people come to the door and wait automatically." Jin Guofeng made a joke.
"Guofeng, don't laugh at me." Yang Xianshuo smiled bitterly, if his company had enough personnel, he could hold selection meetings as often as other companies, and this situation would not have occurred.
"Brother Xianshuo, see you next time." Jin Guofeng got in the car and left YG Company, he still feels good about today's experience, at least he understands hiphop music, unlike before when he just knew hiphop dance.
Seeing them leave, Yang Minshuo asked in a low voice, "Brother, how do you feel?" He wanted to know his brother's opinion, since the other party had made up his mind to ask for shares in the company, then they needed to understand each other's personality so that they could determine how they would get along in the future.
"It's not bad, it's a good heart, and it's an old man." Yang Hyun Suk talked about the feeling that the other party gave him, and as for other things, it still needs time to check.
