Chapter 333: Invitation (Part II)
When night falls, the open-air restaurant on the fifth floor of the Shilla Hotel overlooks Seoul's iconic Namsan Tower.
Zhao Yuanxi, Park Hyo-min, and Hyun Eun-jeong sat opposite each other, chatting about delicious food, and they had a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
"Oppa, I bought your new album in English as soon as I could, it's great." Park Hyo-min said with a smile as he bit the metal spoon.
"Sure enough, it's a fan of my brother," Zhao Yuanxi took a sip of coffee with a smile, "Speaking of singing, do you remember what I said at the beginning?" ”
"What?" Park Hyo-min asked with a wink.
"Is it the five Chinese dialects singing "In My Song"?" Xian Enjing spoke.
"Yes, Eun Jing still remembers, Xiao Min is afraid that he has already thrown it to Saipan."
"Where? I remember that. Park Hyo-min protested in a low voice, bowing her head and not daring to look at Zhao Yuanxi, in fact, she really forgot about it, she didn't expect Zhao Yuanxi to remember it after so long.
"Then our agreement will be written off."
"Oh, that's not going to happen," Park Hyo-min said hurriedly, "Anyway, how long Oppa is limited, we just need to practice skillful acting." ”
Zhao Yuanxi shook his head and said, "If you don't finish it in a year, I'll wait for you to fail in a year?" Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. ”
"Hey." Park Hyo-min put down the spoon and pouted and sighed, she didn't even have the interest in eating.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled lightly, took a sip of coffee and asked, "Is the date of your debut set?" ”
"Nope." Park Hyo-min shook his head, his mood getting heavier and heavier.
"Questions?" Look at Park Hyo-min's lost expression. Zhao Yuanxi asked curiously.
Park Hyo-min was silent, and Hyun Eun-jeong said softly: "I heard from my agent's brother that the song collection did not go well, and the company did not determine the style of our debut. ”
"Speaking of which, I met the Davichi duo from the same company as you on the stage today, do you know?"
"Sister Haili and Min Jing, we still practice together." Park Hyo-min replied with a tilted head.
Zhao Yuanxi nodded, "A great duet group, but it's a pity that their style audience is too small, and they are destined to become popular." ”
"Really?" Park Hyo-min couldn't help but ask.
"From my personal point of view, so."
Park Hyo-min and Hyun Eun-jeong glanced at each other and lowered their heads in unison.
"How?"
Hyun Eun-jung looked up and said, "It seems that the style of our debut is similar to that of our predecessors SeeYa and Davichi, and Ji-won has expressed the same concerns about the company as Wonhee Oppa. But the company doesn't pay attention to it. ”
"Ji-won?" Zhao Yuanxi tapped lightly on the table top. After thinking for a while, "Is it your group member Yang Zhiyuan?" ”
Xian Enjing nodded, "Yes." ”
"Thoughtful, what about you?"
Xian Enjing chuckled: "Of course we hope to make a smooth debut..."
"It's best to be very popular as soon as you debut." Park Hyo-min hurriedly said.
"Let's be honest. In Davichi's style, I'm afraid it's hard to be very popular. The concerns of your group members are not unfounded. ”
Now even Xian Enjing has no interest in eating. Isn't all the hard work they train day and night to become shining stars, and if the ending of their debut is destined to be bleak, then what's the point of their debut?
Park Hyo-min glanced at Hyun Eun-jung and said in a low voice, "Why don't we let Ji-yeon reflect with the president again." ”
Xian Enjing shook her head and sighed, "It's useless." The president won't listen. ”
Zhao Yuanxi frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "My S.M company plans to launch a new girl group in the second half of the year, you can consider making your debut in S.M company." ”
"Really?" Park Hyo-min was surprised and delighted, and shouted loudly.
Hyun Eun Jing kicked Park Hyo Min at the bottom, reminding her not to agree easily, they have been practicing in the CCM company for so long and are not waiting for the opportunity to debut, Hyun Eun Jing doesn't want to waste it so inexplicably, and although S.M is the leading music entertainment company in South Korea, the competition is also extremely fierce, and I don't know how many trainees are eliminated from S.M every year, and they are very likely to be eliminated if they rush to S.M company as newcomers.
Failing at S.M, and at the same time losing the opportunity to debut in CCM, it was really a cry without tears.
Park Hyo-min has always been nervous, she didn't think about it so much at all, her first thought was that if she could go to S.M Company and work with Wonxi Oppa, then she could see him often, and when she thought of this, she couldn't help but be happy, and she didn't care about anything.
After being kicked by Hyun Eun Jing, Park Hyo-min came to his senses, as if he was too impatient, and hung his head a little shyly and blew softly.
Zhao Yuanxi leaned back and smiled slightly, "It's not a matter of lip service when I invite you to S.M, first of all, your conditions are very good, whether it is appearance, appearance, singing and dancing, it is good......"
"Oppa, how do you know we're good at singing and dancing?" Park Hyo-min interrupted Zhao Yuanxi's words and asked with a smile.
Zhao Yuanxi was not angry at all, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, I have seen the cooperation stage between you and SeeYa, and that Xiaomin's performance is very good." ”
"Really?" Park Hyo-min was overjoyed, it was so wonderful to be praised in front of someone she admired, her body was fluttering as if she was about to float, she really hoped that Cho Won-hee could praise herself more.
"You don't have to worry about the fierce competition of S.M and you can't debut, since I invite you to S.M, I will definitely guarantee your debut, don't forget that I am the executive director of S.M."
Zhao Yuanxi's words dispelled Xian Enjing's biggest doubts, looking at his eyes, he suddenly felt much more relaxed, Park Hyo-min glanced at Xian Enjing proudly, blaming her for her gains and losses.
"I don't think I need to go into detail about the status and influence of S.M in the Korean music industry, you should all know about it, and," Zhao Yuanxi lowered his voice and leaned forward slightly, "Hyomin, Eunjing, you can come over and sign a contract with S.M Company, but with its subsidiary S.MCC." ”
"Does it make a difference?" Xian Enjing was a little moved, and couldn't help asking.
"Of course, there is a difference, just as your CCM company is a subsidiary of MNET, S.MCC is a subsidiary of S.M Music Entertainment that focuses on film and television production, which means that you can not only be a group singer in the future, but also an actor."
Zhao Yuanxi's words are not just explanations, but close to naked-naked-naked lobbying and temptation, the status of Korean actors is far higher than that of idols, and all idol singers desperately want to transform into actors, without exception.
In fact, Zhao Yuanxi was originally not interested in such a thing as digging people's walls, and besides, S.M Company has the largest trainee reserve in South Korea, what type of trainees he wants to choose, and the reason why he spares no effort to persuade is more because of the love for Park Hyo-min and Hyun Eun-jung as his loyal sunflowers.
Zhao Yuanxi's idea of launching a new girl group was not a whim, but after careful consideration, the original purpose was derived from the promise to his girlfriend Jessica, promising to help Zheng Xiujing debut as soon as possible, at that time Zhao Yuanxi was already considering the selection of the girl group, Zheng Xiujing is a quota, and Song Qian, who is also a Chinese fellow, is another quota, at this time, he sent an invitation to Park Hyomin and Xian Eunjing, and his idea became clearer and clearer.
A five-member girl group, this is Zhao Yuanxi's preliminary plan.
Park Hyo-min and Hyun Eun Jing are excited, they are the objects of CCM's support, and they have been in contact with the entertainment industry since they entered the company, and they are more yearning for actors than ordinary trainees.
"I am currently the president of S.MCC, and I just invested in a big-budget movie not long ago," Zhao Yuanxi said with a leisurely sip of coffee, "with a total investment of 16 billion." ”
"Wow."
"Sixteen billion."
Park Hyo-min exclaimed loudly, and Hyun Eun-jing was dumbfounded, 16 billion is undoubtedly an astronomical amount for them.
Zhao Yuanxi threw the ultimate bombshell, and the effect was remarkable, and the surprise of the two spectators opposite him was clear at a glance.
This is simply pie in the sky, Park Hyo-min was already dancing excitedly, happily patting Xian Eunjing's thigh to vent his galloping mood, and finally restrained his excitement, and was about to say yes, but Xian Eunjing preemptively said: "Wonxi Oppa, can you let us think about it?" ”
"Switching brokerage companies is not a trivial matter, I would like to ask my parents for their opinions, please understand Yuanxi Oppa." Xian Enjing added.
"Of course, but as I said before, opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared, and I hope you don't make me wait too long."
"Now." Xian Enjing nodded in response, hesitated for a while and looked up and asked, "Yuanxi Oppa, we signed a practice room contract with CCM Company, if we really agree to go to S.M Company, then the contract ......"
Zhao Yuanxi raised his hand, "You don't have to worry about the contract, I will deal with it." ”
"Thank you, Yuanxi, Oppa." Dispelling all doubts, Xian Enjing sincerely thanked Zhao Yuanxi.
Zhao Yuanxi is also very satisfied with Xian Enjing's response, calm, well-organized, and has the style of a general, so he can consider serving as the captain of the women's group. (To be continued......)
