Chapter 7 The English Storm
“Hello,nice
tomeetyou! Girls‘Generation。 The female reporter took out the simple recording microphone she carried with her and pointed it at the three of them.
In South Korea, artists rarely offend the media, in addition to the media exposure itself can provide artists with more photogenic rates, more important is the status of Korean artists. In South Korea, the status of artists is not very good, which is related to the deep-rooted traditional ideas of South Korea and the constraints of social morality.
In the perception of many Korean people, Korean artists make money relatively quickly from the point of view of appearance, and they don't have to study so hard, they don't have high requirements for knowledge and academics, and they only need to sing and dance to perform and so on that they are interested in. This has had a great impact on most of the young children in Korean society today.
can make money, no need to study, go in and out of bright clothes, the focus of the public's attention. All this has attracted more young people to sign up for the showbiz as trainees.
Therefore, in fact, in the hearts of the older generation of Korean people, there is a little criticism of the new generation of artists in the domestic entertainment industry, and they are even younger generations, and the treatment of social status is naturally unsatisfactory.
After all, Chen Zaitian is just coming into contact with this work, and he is not able to make the most accurate judgment and response to many unexpected situations.
He now doesn't know whether the three girls of Girls' Generation are good or bad for accepting this foreign media. At the moment of hesitation, people have already started interviews.
“hello! hello! Hello. The three girls hurriedly bowed, and even they were a little surprised. While saying "hello" in English, he also spoke his own Korean.
“Wearefrom
theUKpress,canacceptourinterview?”
"Huh?" The three girls looked at each other with wide eyes, and found that the other two people around them were like themselves, both of whom were very poor in English. Basically, all the people on the team who don't speak English are here.
The best of this is Xiuying, even if she can barely hear a few words, but she is not at the level where she can speak fluently with a foreign reporter.
The three girls were also a little panicked, and they didn't know how to answer, and now they couldn't just run away. The group looked at Chen Zaitian who was standing on the side.
"oppa, what to do, we don't know much English." Xiuying looked at Chen Zaitian in a panic, and now Chen Zaitian was the only one by their side. If this is not good, and the foreign media reporter reports it out if he says the wrong thing, the three of them will definitely not be able to finish eating when they return to the company.
But if you don't speak, that's rude.
If it doesn't work, I can only ask Chen Zaitian to quickly inform Park Jihao to come over with a translator.
Chen Zaitian looked at the three girls with some bitterness, and his feelings were all the masters of 'British blindness'.
“Hello,
welcometoSeoul.Wearegirls!” (Hello, welcome to Seoul, South Korea.) We are Girls' Generation! )
There was no way, Chen Zaitian had to bite the bullet and go first, let's talk about it after something happened. In his previous life, he studied in the UK for four years, and he spoke English quite well.
"Oh, great, thank you. Our company's translator is outside, and I'm afraid you won't understand what I'm saying. The British female reporter was very happy, and Chen Zaitian also nodded at her and smiled slightly.
"She just said that she is a journalist from the United Kingdom, can she be interviewed?" Chen Zaitian looked back at the three girls in a trance.
Yuri hadn't come back to her senses yet, and nodded subconsciously.
In the subconscious of Korean entertainment culture, it is impossible for an artist to take the initiative to refuse a request from the media, such an impolite behavior will definitely be attacked by people and Anti fans.
"Thank you, they said they were happy to be interviewed by you, but I hope you can hurry up, they have other work schedules." Chen continued to communicate with her in English.
Fortunately, this British reporter was more polite, in addition to congratulating Girls' Generation songs on the popularity, he simply asked a few questions about Girls' Generation's music, when will the next album be released, and what will be the focus of future work? Impressions of being the image ambassador of Incheon City this time, etc. It is not a very sensitive and intense question, and the three girls are also very good at answering questions through Chen Zaitian's translation. Pretentiousness is also a rule that journalists know. Being able to interview the three members of Girls' Generation alone, for her, this interview task is a very successful completion.
Because it was a close and individual interview, the content was also very casual and simple, they chatted very happily, and the British female reporter was also very happy to say that she would definitely promote Girls' Generation in the company's news, which was also a big gain for the three girls.
Before parting, the British reporter praised Chen Zaitian with a smile. "Handsome guy, your English is great."
"What's going on, why have you been so long?" Everyone waited for nearly half an hour, and Park Ji-ho was not at ease, so he walked in by himself, just in time to meet them who had just finished being interviewed.
"Huh?" Park Ji-ho stared at an extra foreign media person in front of him a little stunned, and immediately came to his senses and hurriedly walked over to protect the three daughters. Although he had already thought of the words to deal with, the English level of his sideburns still made him unable to finish a sentence for a long time. Actually, he can't be blamed for this, after all, he is only the commissioner's agent, and if the company arranges to deal with foreign media, it will definitely arrange a translator, or Tiffany and Jessica, who are good English in Girls' Generation, will deal with it.
This time is an emergency, who would have thought that three girls could encounter such a simple interview when they go to the toilet? And also a foreign correspondent.
Hyoyuan, Miying and Yuri on the side laughed happily.
"Zhihao oppa, I can't see it, your English is also so bad."
"Gone, oppa. The interview is over. Hyoyeon laughed and pulled Park Ji-ho.
Park Ji-ho was confused, and he didn't understand what was going on at all. Done with the interview? He couldn't finish a word in English, could it be that these three girls have improved their English skills? He immediately dismissed the idea, and Tiffany often made fun of the three of them for their unpleasant English.
Despite the doubts in his head, Park Ji-ho still politely greeted the female reporter when he left, and the other party responded to him with a smile and a friendly smile.
"Don't think about it, it's in the day, his English is amazing." Yuri couldn't see it, and took the initiative to tell Park Ji-ho about what happened just now. They had no choice but to accept the interview in private just now, and they had to report to Park Ji-ho.
Park Ji-ho listened to Yuri's explanation and finally understood. I also knew that the content of the interview just now was not very serious, so I couldn't help but nod with relief. Being able to accept more media interviews and exposures is a positive development for girls' generation, not to mention that the other party is a foreign journalist friend, which means different to them.
If it is really reported by foreign media later, it will play a good role in promoting the popularity of Girls' Generation in the people.
He turned his head and looked at Chen Zaitian with a hint of satisfaction. "I didn't expect your English to be so good? This time it's really thanks to you. ”
Chen Zaitian still followed slowly with his head down, he was still a little afraid in his heart, afraid that Park Ji-ho would blame him for asserting his own ideas. You know, he can choose not to talk about that situation just now, but that is definitely not the best choice.
To be a low-key person, he had already experienced this kind of thing in his previous life. Anyone who is too expressive and too provocative will generally not be happy for long. How many government officials in previous lives fell on top of this. It's okay to be greedy, but don't be too arrogant, don't be too ostentatious, otherwise you will cause dissatisfaction among the masses, and you may lose your life at any time.
What kind of luxury cars, famous watches, villa lovers, you really think everyone is a fool, just your country's salary, just your son to buy a few 'Adidas' is not enough.
Chen Zaitian didn't want to be noticed by himself on his first day at work, thinking that if he had such a person, then his future work would be in big trouble. Even if it was an accident this time, he couldn't act like a mess anymore.
"It's nothing, I understand a little, I just know a little bit of English." Chen Zaitian was apologetic. "I hope my seniors don't blame me for talking nonsense."
Sure enough, Park Ji-ho was indeed a lot more relieved when he heard Chen Zaitian's modest words, it seems that this young man is very good, at least his talent is a little. You must know that South Korea is a country that advocates education very much, and people are very admired and loved for people who are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. If it is true, as the three girls said, Chen Zaitian's English level is very high, then it is definitely not to be underestimated.
In fact, this has a lot to do with the current situation in South Korea. South Korea is a country with only 100,000 square kilometers of land. It has a population of about 50 million. (Our country's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region alone has 236,700 square kilometers.) In such a small country, any policy or trend can quickly set off a learning atmosphere for the whole country.
The narrow sense of local resources and the development limitations of the primary and secondary industries determine that South Korea must adopt an economic development model dominated by the tertiary industry, and education and entertainment will be one of the priorities of South Korea's development.
South Korea's 'cultural nation' strategy has achieved remarkable results, and Korean culture has spread widely around the world, giving rise to the "Hallyu" and "Hallyu economy". The "Hallyu economy" is a win-win chain of industrial interaction between the Korean film and television industry and other industries.
In the context of such realistic results, since the beginning of the 21st century, the vast majority of young people in South Korea are looking forward to the dream of stardom of the host. Dressed brightly and attractively, attracting attention has attracted many young people to join this circle.
There are two sides to everything, and this phenomenon has seriously affected the development of South Korea's cultural and educational undertakings. Many young children, in order to better develop their own star road, have already devoted more energy to the study of acting careers after graduating from junior high school and high school.
It is no exaggeration to say that the cultural level of the young generation of artists and people in South Korea is very low.
Perhaps to close the gap, South Korea has been promoting the importance of cultural qualifications in recent years. The Korean entertainment industry spares no effort to improve its image. In the entertainment program, it is not difficult for us to find that for some artists from famous universities, they are definitely talked about and respected by the host.
"Thank you for the day. Next time I call Yuri, please eat ice cream. Xiao Yuan said proudly, she has always been straightforward and cheerful to say whatever she wants, and she is not afraid at all.
Yuri looked at her strangely, "Why did you call me for a treat, why didn't you and Xiuying." With big eyes open, the corners of his lips slightly open, and his cute and innocent expression made Chen Zaitian's heart move.
Xiuying was also a little strange, and just as she was about to say something, she pulled Hyo-yeon by the neck and choked her. "There's no why, don't you want to? In the day oppa, Yuri doesn't want to treat you to ice cream. Xiao Yuan glared at her.
Yuri was stupid and didn't understand that Xiao Yuan was playing a trick on her, how could she refuse. "Uh..., I didn't want to."
Hyo-yeon's plan was successful, and he burst out laughing. "Hey, that's what you said. Hee-hee, in fact, I want to say that my pocket money this month has gone to buy clothes, and I have no money. Yuri, you can reluctantly take on this heavy responsibility. ”
Xiuying also understood Hyoyeon's joke at this time, hugged her, and the two ran forward happily.
"Yikes! You two really are. You golden ten-year-old, stop me. ”
Chen Zaitian looked at the noisy girls' generation gathered in front of him with some pleasure, looking at them lively and cute, his thoughts drifted to the ethereal future unconsciously, and he couldn't help but think, would this be a good start?
Since it was the first day of work, it was already past five o'clock after the event, and the girls should have gone back to the dormitory for dinner, training, and rest in the evening, except for Taeyeon's announcement that there was a DJ on the "Close Friends" radio station.
Maybe it was because of the light shown in the limelight just now, Park Ji-ho made it a point to let Chen Jae-tian and the other three assistants go home from work, and he took another assistant to continue to take care of the girls' evening activities.
