Kim Sung-joon, the head of a trainee department at S.M's agency, received an invitation from a middle school to see a summer music festival held there.

This made him wonder, what are you doing with all this when school is already on vacation?

He didn't want to go, but several trainees from the company were also in their school and performed on stage, which was why the invitation letter was sent to him for the school, so he accepted the invitation. He also has a purpose for going, first, he needs to inspect those trainees to see how they are doing;

Second, take the opportunity of the song festival held by the school to conduct a field trip for free to see if there are suitable people as trainees.

Generally, the people who come to the stage are the more powerful people in this school, although there are also masters in the audience, but there are generally very few, in this case, there should be someone who makes him agreeable.

Despite this, he also has no confidence to bring a person with good strength back, after all, such people are a minority, and parents do not necessarily let their children become a trainee, although S.M is very famous in South Korea, but the chance of debut is also very small, the competition is extremely fierce, and it costs some of the family's money during the trainee, which is a high-risk investment.

At half past four, Jin Chengjun, who was sitting in the front row, sat up straight, began to listen carefully, and observed carefully, he was a serious person, otherwise he would not have become the head of the room in charge of the trainees at a young age.

With the opening of the MC, the first show began, a boy appeared on the stage, and then deafening cheers rang out all around, so that Kim Sung-jun involuntarily covered his ears, this boy's popularity is too big in this school, look at the madness of those girls, think which star is it, Kim Sung-jun also began to look carefully at the boy on the stage.

Sunny, handsome, refreshing, a black suit is very decent on him, just for this, Kim Sung-jun can give him a score of 9, this boy's appearance is really outstanding, no wonder those girls are so crazy, let alone sit there with an indescribable temperament.

However, he was a little disappointed below, and it could be seen that the boy was a little nervous when he spoke, and there was some vibra in his voice.

However, within a few seconds, his impression immediately changed, but in this moment, the boy had come out of the nervous state, his demeanor was more natural, and there was a kind of confidence in his language, which made him very praised, so strong self-control.

The boy performed the song "Happiness" by H.O.T, which can be said to be very familiar to all S.M. people, and he is no exception.

The first note floated out of his keys, followed by two, three, four......

The fragmentary notes gradually converged into the accompaniment of "Happiness", which was light and beautiful, which showed that the boy's skills were very good, and Kim Sung-jun was already a little moved.

I have never forgotten you, and I think about you every day......

The boy's voice finally came out of the microphone, not particularly light, a little different from the previous piano accompaniment, the accompaniment was also soothed at the same time, the voice was not very exaggerated, and the singing in its true colors felt like a cool breeze in the hot summer.

The singing continued, and Kim Sung-joon was also listening patiently.

But you have forgotten me

There were tears in my eyes, a sense of betrayal

I don't understand why I always miss you

Could it be that I only have you in my heart in this world?

I didn't dare to go to you, and there were no tears

I don't feel it anymore, please look up at me

I've been doing this for you

On the day of the date

Trembling, I stand before you

You wiped away my tears

Hold my hand tightly

Trust me

I will definitely give you happiness

Close your eyes and think about what you look like

Finally found you in my heart

I saw the light of happiness

Can't lose you anymore

I love you

I will be with you forever

Open your heart

I will always stand before you

Call me, please

I will always be there for you

I love you......

The boy's singing is finally over, there is a little playfulness that has not grown up, there is also a warm gentleness, coupled with extremely excellent singing skills, even S.M may not have many trainees who can surpass him.

The others don't know how Lu Dao is, but just from his appearance and singing skills, his debut is definitely not a problem, so far, Jin Chengjun is already very excited, and he doesn't know that Lu Dao will have such a gain, in short, he must be taken down, and letting him go is a loss.

As Xu Hunxian's last note fell, the audience suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers, and the voices of "Encore, Encore" rose one after another, hoping that he would perform again.

But Xu Hunxian understood that today was not his stage alone, he was just a part of this stage, bowed, said "sorry", and walked down from the side.

The following performance is still going on, and he can't be delayed because he is alone, but his performance today is perfect, and he went behind the scenes, and today the stage PD high-fived him and celebrated, he got off to a good start.

The first show is very important, sometimes it is on par with the last one, if the opening fails, it will seriously affect the performance of the people behind it, and it will also bring a bad impression to the audience below, fortunately, Xu Hunxian succeeded, and the pressure behind should be less, at least you can play to your heart's content.

"Good job, Xu Hunxianxi." Li Shengying didn't know when he came over, and he didn't look down like other teachers, probably because he was afraid that Xu Hunxian would be frustrated after his mistake, so he came to encourage him.

"Xie Lu, Mr. Xie." Xu Hunxian bowed and thanked him.

"Let's go, come down with me to watch the show, your mission is complete, it's time to relax." As he spoke, he walked out of the city first, and Xu Hunxian followed behind.

"Xu Hunxianxi, your performance is so exciting, we all like to die, I really didn't expect your voice to be so good, if you don't want to be an idol, it will be a waste of your conditions." As soon as she arrived at the seat of the class, the girl on one side said excitedly, and the others also reacted in the same way, so that Xu Hunxian could only smile modestly.

After chatting briefly for a while, he found a place in the class area, which seemed to be reserved for him, but this position was very special, because there were girls next to him, which made Xu Hunxian smile bitterly, but he could only sit up and start to enjoy the show on the stage.

The next show seems to be decent, there is nothing particularly outstanding, and there are no mistakes.

Finally waited for the last one, this is a K-POP dance music performance mixed by two men and one woman, the music has a strong sense of rhythm, the performers' arms and dance steps are also free, and the rhythm is just right, at a glance, you can know that the people on the stage are very strong in dancing, although the singing skills are not very good, but it still caused a climax after the opening performance.

With the end of the dynamic music and the end of the gorgeous dance steps, the audience screamed again and again, and at this time, their performance brought this summer song festival to a smooth end.

Despite their reluctance to perform, the students had to leave the auditorium.

Happy times are always short-lived, and people can't indulge in them all the time, so they have to face the next reality, for students, the next reality is to go home, and some people may go out for a walk.

Outside the auditorium, the street lamps have been lit, the roar of cars and the noise of people can be heard in the distance, the students who go home walk together in groups of three or five, discussing all kinds of interesting things, and from time to time the bed comes to laugh happily, some young couples walk side by side, in the dark place under the cover of the night, they become bold, and the other party's ears and temples grind.

Walking out of the school gate, the sound becomes more noisy, the sound of the engine, the sound of talking, and the shouting body constantly impact people's auditory senses, some people will feel confused, and some people don't care at all, such as Xu Hunxian, who wanders around on the road without care, eats a bunch of rice cakes here, and looks at the trinkets over there, like a child full of curiosity.

Sometimes, he really likes this feeling, although he likes to be quiet by nature, but he also likes the feeling of being out of the world in the noisy world, this feeling, like watching others attend classes on his own vacation on campus, is extremely interesting.

Quietly enjoying the food in his hand, Xu Hunxian's mind flew involuntarily, the feeling on the stage was really good, when he was recognized by others, it seemed that everything was not afraid, because there were many people supporting him and encouraging him, and there were many people who spent it with him at this moment, this feeling is really wonderful, and only when he really stands there will he feel it deeply.

"Classmate, excuse me." A voice disturbed Xu Hunxian's thoughts, making people a little unhappy, but Xu Hunxian still turned his head to take a look.

What caught my eye was a young man, not tall, his hair was not treated with special treatment, but he was not messy, with a small border of silver-rimmed glasses, the whole person was not bad, at least the first feeling was fine.

"Is there something wrong?" For people he doesn't know, Xu Hunxian is still relatively cautious, and there is nothing wrong with doing this.

"That's right, I'm a head of the S.M trainee department, my name is Kim Sungjun, I especially appreciate your talent after seeing your performance in the audience today, can you find a place to talk?"

S.M？ Xu Hunxian seems to have heard of it, by the way, isn't H.O.T that company, but what about trainees?

Although there were many questions, Xu Hunxian still nodded, the other party had no malicious intent, and Xu Hunxian was also willing to chat with him.

After finding a nearby café and sitting down in a seat, Kim Sung-jun asked Seo Hun-hyun what he wanted to drink.

"A cup of mocha, thank you." Xu Hunxian was relatively skilled, and he didn't look at the type, and directly ordered the name of a coffee.

The coffee didn't come, Jin Chengjun chatted first: "I saw your performance before, I feel that your strength is very strong, especially your singing skills, in our company, ordinary trainees are no longer as good as you, I don't know if you have ever studied with anyone before?" ”

In this way, Xu Hunxian didn't hide it, and said directly: "I did study, I used to learn several things with several old people, including the practice of singing skills, but it was all when I was a child, and I haven't practiced much now, and I have almost forgotten a lot, but the foundation should still be there." ”

got the other party's affirmative answer, Jin Chengjun is still relatively satisfied, although he has practiced, but it was also when he was a child, even if he didn't usually practice, he still has such strength, it is very rare, you must know that Lu Dao's singing skills are not equal to a good voice.

Probably knowing his own information, Jin Chengjun also said directly: "Then I won't beat around the bush, it's like this, I found that your strength is very strong, and you are quite malleable, so I want to invite you to our company as a trainee, as long as you practice well, there is no problem in debuting in two or three years." ”

After speaking, he looked at Xu Hunxian and waited for his response.

Xu Hunxian lowered his head, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "You told me to be a trainee, what does a trainee do?" ”

Kim Sung-jun suddenly had a feeling of being defeated, and after a long time, he didn't even know what a trainee was, but he still patiently explained: "There is no clear definition of the so-called trainee, simply put, it is to train you in singing, acting, variety shows, etc. for a period of time, and when you meet the requirements, you will compete for your debut, and after your debut, you will be an artist, and the trainee is the front identity of the artist, which is a new word that appeared when the first generation of Hallyu idol H.O.T debuted." ”

Xu Hunxian suddenly realized, no wonder he hadn't heard of it before, it turned out that the current artist made his debut like this, it was like an assembly line, he hesitated in his heart, to be a trainee, he was really not prepared.

Looking at the other party's eyes, Kim Sung-jun found a little problem, so he added another fire: "Did you see the last show today?" Xu Hunxian nodded.

Kim Sung-jun continued: "The last few performers are all trainees of our company, to be honest, their talent is not as good as yours, and they have only been practicing for less than two years, if you practice, you are definitely several times stronger than them, maybe your combination is the next H.O.T." ”

H.O.T is already an idol in the hearts of young people now, and they have reached a certain level of popularity, and they don't believe that the other party is not moved.

Sure enough, Xu Hunxian began to hesitate, although H.O.T only learned about it recently, but I have to say that they are very successful, not counting those seniors in the music industry, among the younger generation, sitting firmly in the first place, it is already the beacon of a new round of Hallyu to Asia, and it is really good to be like them.

Kim Sung-joon looked at the other party's reaction and saw that the other party was hesitating, and he was very happy in his heart, as long as he wavered, he would convince himself.

I was not in a hurry to chase, drank the coffee that had just come up, took out a business card from my pocket and handed it over: "This is my business card, I know that this decision is difficult, and it must be agreed by the family, so after I go back, I will think about it, call me after making a decision, and I will arrange it for you in the company." ”

Listening to his words, Xu Hunxian nodded, put away the business card, and soon the two finished drinking coffee and left.
