Chapter 672: Company Update
"Okay, enough of apologizing, it's not a big deal, do you need this?" Xu Chenjun helped Xu Xian and An Yixuan up, and stretched out his right hand to An Yixuan very politely, "Meet me, I'm Xu Chenjun." ”
"Xu Chenjun! Oh my God, Chairman! When An Yixuan first saw Xu Chenjun's face clearly, he stumbled and almost fell again, and he was also a little dumbfounded.
Although he does have the name of the chairman of the company, but after joining the company for more than a year, An Yixuan was stunned that he had never even seen Xu Chenjun's face, and he forgot about it over time, and he didn't expect to meet him in the company today on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, I have to say that this is really a coincidence.
Originally, there should be no one in the company today, but I met a 'wild' big boss who is 'rare in 10,000 years', and this luck is better! Since the establishment of the company, it seems that not many people have seen Xu Chenjun, the big boss.
After a simple greeting, Xu Chenjun was too lazy to be polite, seeing that An Yixuan didn't seem to have anything else to do, he asked her about the company's recent situation, originally I just came to the company on a whim today to take a look, but I didn't expect that the amount of information I got from An Yixuan's body was really not small.
From An Yixuan's mouth, Xu Chenjun also got an overview of the company's current development, which is basically similar to the report he received, but there are some discrepancies, such as what the artists are dissatisfied with. There is no mention of these things in the report, although these artists have voluntarily joined CJ Entertainment and have signed contracts, but if they have not made any money, they will still be a little dissatisfied. After all, China is only a developing country, and the social security welfare system is not very good. Artists rely on this to earn money to eat, of course, I hope to have more trips to run.
Chinese artists do not have endless schedules like Korean artists, and like the local economic situation, polarization is very serious, the popular ones are very popular, and the non-popular ones are very idle, and the income can be said to be almost nothing. But this is not the case in CJ, whether you are popular or not, if you want to run the itinerary, you must follow the company's arrangement, and you must maintain a humble attitude during the show, otherwise you will violate the company's rules and regulations.
And among the artists directly recruited, there are also many people with the idea of 'big names'. With a small fame, he thinks he is right, for such a person, Xu Chenjun will never tolerate it, since he can't accept it, he will get out of here, and the company's executive president in China also does this, and the company doesn't need such a big-name artist.
Over time, those artists who remain in CJ have a proper itinerary with the full support of the company, and they can also choose to receive training from the company in their spare time to increase their knowledge and acting skills. Moreover, the scripts selected by the company are all the best of the best, and there is absolutely no situation where they take on any garbage to remake the script, and some of the company's artists are still very satisfied with this. Although there are fewer TV series, the quality has gone up, one top ten!
Popularity is skyrocketing! Now among the well-known young actors in China, CJ directly occupies half of the country! In popular TV dramas, CJ Entertainment members can always be seen, not to mention others to say that An Yixuan in front of her is good, her recent worth has directly doubled, her income has increased by about 30% compared with before, and her acting skills are getting better and better, and the film appointments are continuous, but the company will always help pick out the right script, instead of randomly picking it up like her previous economic company.
When talking about trainees, An Yixuan also has a lot of feelings, because of different national conditions, it is unlikely that Chinese trainees really join CJ just for their dreams, and earning money to support themselves is the most important point, to put it bluntly, they just want to be popular and want to make money.
The family situation does not allow it, and many of them come for the money! What you say for your dreams, in fact, it's all fake, the domestic system is not perfect, you can't be like developed countries, even if you lose your job temporarily, the country will support you, at least food, housing and ordinary consumption are not a problem.
So for the sake of the future, this salary is actually something they are more concerned about, and society is realistic after all.
Because of these three words, more than 10,000 people signed up to come to CJ as trainees! The number of online applicants has reached hundreds of thousands, and people have signed up everywhere across the country, including HK, TW, AM and other places, and even a large number of Chinese and Koreans have come to sign up. It seems that CJ Entertainment does not recruit many trainees, and there are only a few places in the United States, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, Italy, Russia, and other countries where there are branches, so many people are willing to give it a try, even if they are international.
Don't go because of anything else, because of the three words Xu Chenjun!
It can be seen how terrifying the influence of this product is in Asia, and there are even dozens of whites and blacks among them!
In the first round of selection, the appearance was first selected, and each person's appearance was scored first, with a total score of 100, and appearance accounted for 15 points. Although this is more unfair, Xu Chenjun knows that even if he really has the strength, he must at least be able to perform after obtaining a certain score, otherwise no matter how good his acting skills are, no one will find him to film, or after filming, it is useless for many audiences in the appearance association to directly change the channel as soon as they see that the protagonist is not pleasing to the eye.
As an idol draft, appearance is also an important aspect of the selection! In addition, the elective items include: stage performance score, dance score, singing score, creation score, and acting score.
These are all evaluated by professional teachers invited by Xu Chenjun from abroad, and they will not be like those so-called experts in China, who are talking about the truth, but in fact, they don't know much, which is the real sadness of a draft!
In order to prevent such a situation from happening, Xu Chenjun directly invited some S.M. teachers to go over to select them at the beginning.
Although the cost of such a draft is relatively large, the company doesn't care at all, because the income is higher! In the domestic talent show, CJ's novel selection mechanism has aroused everyone's interest, and many people have begun to pay attention to this event. BJ's CCTV TV station has issued invitations to broadcast this program on TV, and of course it will be followed by high advertising revenue.
Of course, the company will not change the selection strategy because of small mistakes, the selection is still carried out in an orderly manner, and investors who try to interfere with the selection are directly out.
This selection, even in the end, there are still hundreds of people left!
After a few months of training, many of them couldn't withstand the high-intensity training and quit, and finally there were more than 100 people left, it can be said that these 100 people are definitely the elite of the elite, even if they are not very good in appearance, they will have an unstoppable shining point to stay until now.
Among the more than 100 trainees, there are still four whites and three blacks, although they do not quite conform to the aesthetics of the Orientals in appearance, but they are all first-class beauties and handsome guys. The strength is also quite good, and after systematic training, it is even better.
This 100 people seems like a lot for a brokerage company, but to be honest, Xu Chenjun is not surprised by this scale, according to the size of China's area, 100 people here is really not enough. Even the size of S.M.'s trainees can reach nearly 100 people, which is really not a lot compared to the vast land of China.
But for now, these people are enough for the company's current size.
Maybe it only takes a year or two to launch an idol group that truly belongs to China.
If it is only like the previous domestic ordinary talent shows, just selecting talents in the talent show and directly packaging their debut, the probability of success is really not high!
It is precisely because of this mechanism that these artists can only develop in China forever and cannot break out of the world. Even if you can be famous, the development is very limited, and sometimes the strength of the company is the most important!
What Xu Chenjun needs is not the kind of idol that can only be seen by 'his own people', but an idol group that can represent China and rush to the world!
However, it is precisely because of such a relatively perfect system that artists must also keep their heads down, and now is not the time for companies to beg for artists, although they are all famous, but to be honest, they can't receive a good drama all year round, they are scolded, they are complained about and complained, there are no ratings, and the salary is not high. In such a situation, CJ is their cash cow and backer!
If you offend anyone, you can't offend the rich man, and the teachers in the company are all very famous seniors in the world, such as An Yixuan, who is qualified, is often scolded by the teacher, but those motivated artists are willing to do it, because in such a reproach, they can learn a lot of things.
Those who think they have deep qualifications and play big names have all been directly driven out of the company and left them to fend for themselves, because when signing a contract, training and learning is also one of the very important parts, and if they don't pass, the company can terminate the contract unconditionally.
Because of this, artists also have pressure, and the speed of progress is faster, for fear of being eliminated. As long as you can stay at CJ, you don't need to worry about anything else, you just need to focus on being your own actor and hone your acting skills, and the company will take care of the rest.
That's the benefit of a big company!
Although the treatment of a large company is not necessarily the best, it must be professional, with a clear division of labor, and artists only need to be responsible for honing their professional skills and running itineraries! No other worries.
