Chapter 580: Draft Contest (2)
The so-called talent competition is not a formal competition, to put it bluntly, it is actually a small stage for the performance of its trainees jointly organized by several major companies in the Korean music industry. But don't underestimate this stage, because not everyone can go up to perform, and all the trainees who are arranged by the company to go on the stage are all people who have entered the screening stage of their debut after the most debut and have a certain strength. Just like TVXQ, SuperJunior, Girls' Generation, Bigbang, WonderGirls, and other now famous male and female groups, they have all appeared on the stage of this talent competition.
The stage of the audition is not just singing, but also dance and instrumental performances, and each of them is selected as an excellent prize as encouragement. The judges responsible for the selection are also dance instructors, vocal instructors from major companies and some idol-level singers invited to the meeting. Although it is not a formal stage, due to the professionalism of the judges, it is also a very good competition for the trainees of major companies, so the major companies will send the most elite trainees to compete.
Zheng Xiujing and Cui Xueli have entered the company's debut round selection list, and their singing and dancing skills are now outstanding in S.M. Song Qian, who has just entered the company as a trainee for only half a year, is likely to be arranged to form a new girl group with Zheng Xiujing and her dance strength because of her nationality and dancing strength. So they were arranged as a group today to participate in the draft competition together.
It's the first time Zixi has heard of this kind of competition, but it's not actually a competition, and it may be appropriate to let the trainees communicate with each other. After all, although this competition has the title of Merit Award, there are no actual prizes.
"OPPA, can you come and watch us play?" Cui Xueli said with her hands in a heart.
"I'm not a trainee, and I don't know much about the music world, what's the use of letting me go, isn't this to add to the chaos?" Zixi really doesn't know much about the music industry, otherwise she wouldn't even know anything about this stage that is very important to the trainees.
"Can't you just go and cheer us up?" Zheng Xiujing pouted.
"I'm going to cheer you up?" Zixi felt that he had heard a very funny joke, and said, "Didn't you just say that most of the company's trainees will participate in this competition, so naturally the trainees of TCE and CE will also participate." I, the director, went to the scene and actually cheered for the trainees of S.M. Company, how do you say the media report will be written tomorrow? And what will the trainees of these two companies think of me? ”
"That's right!" Zheng Xiujing is not stupid, and she nodded in approval when she thought about it, but she still showed loss in her eyes.
"Silly girl!" patted Zheng Xiujing's little head lightly, and said with a smile: "Although OPPA can't blatantly cheer you on, it's still okay to take a look." You say, where is the stage this time, OPPA will send you there later. You can also look at the strength of the trainees of TCE and CE, and how far away they are from S.M. ”
"Really? Does OPPA really want to see us perform? Cui Xueli shouted happily first, saw the eyes around her, smiled embarrassedly, and said in a low voice: "This draft competition is in the auditorium of TCE company, OPPA should be very familiar." ”
"Oh! In the auditorium of TCE? "I heard Zheng Xiujing introduce that this talent competition is generally held in the auditorium of some schools, and all the costs will be shared by major companies, and this is the first time that it has been held in a certain company.
Zheng Xiujing said: "That's the case, because more and more people are paying attention to this small stage, and the media has begun to come to interview and report. As more and more companies participate, if they continue to choose to hold the event in the school's auditorium, it may affect the normal operation of the school and affect the learning of students. Therefore, it is now starting to take turns to choose the site by the major companies, and the funding for each session is still shared by all the companies involved in the draft competition. However, because this was the first time, TCE covered all the costs of the competition, but TCE trainees were allowed to perform in the finale, and other companies also approved the proposal. ”
Zixi nodded, no wonder. Although it doesn't seem to be a regular competition, the strength of the trainees has a direct impact on their future debut. What's more, there are still media interviews on the spot, and major companies are naturally showing their talents, so that more people can know the trainees of their own companies and become popular before their debut. As the No. 1 brokerage company in Korea, TCE has abundant financial resources and resources, and it doesn't cost much money to undertake such a small competition. But being able to let the trainees of his company perform in the finale is already psychologically overpowering other companies.
Thinking of the trainees of TCE, Zixi couldn't help but think of Pu Chun, who was a few months older than herself. I heard Dacheng mention that Park Chun has been selected into the list of the most popular girls group in the new girl group. Although there are more than a dozen people on this list now, there are only a few who can make their debut in the future. However, with Park Chun's singing and dancing prowess, Bigbang agreed that there was no problem with her debut. In addition, Yang Hyun-seok, the president of TCE, is also very optimistic about Park Chun, and has mentioned her many times at conferences about her debut.
The other is CE's trainees, since the acquisition of "PledisEntertainment" and "CoreCentensMedia", and the merger with "Kim Hee-sun Office", the new ConstellationEntertainment, Zi-hee really hasn't been to it once, and it is all handed over to President Lin Yuantai and Kim Hee-sun to take care of them. For ConstellationEntertainment, the only thing Zixi is familiar with is Sun Danfei, who debuted last year, and as for the company's trainees, even if he stands in front of Zixi, he is smeared.
"Do you know any trainees from ConstellationEntertainment?" Zixi asked it himself, and he felt blushing, and the trainees of his own company actually had to ask others to know the truth, and he didn't know if he understood what "shame" was.
Jung so-jung thought for a while and said, "I only know Park So-yeon Ernie because she used to be a preparatory member of Girls' Generation, practicing her debut song with Taeyeon Oni and Yoona Ernie. It's just that a month before her debut, she quit for some reason, so Girls' Generation will fix a nine-person combination. Later, I heard Xu Xian Oni say that she joined CE and was already a trainee with key training. As for the rest, it is not clear. ”
"And what about Park Ji-yeon Oni's classmate Park Ji-yeon Oni? Didn't you come with us to KTV to sing last time? Cui Shirley immediately added.
"Yes, there is also Park Ji-yeon Oni, she is also a trainee of CE, and she is in the same class and table as Park Sun-yeon Oni." Zheng Xiujing came to her senses and immediately explained: "Park Shanlian Oni was also arranged to perform with us on stage this time, her high voice is very powerful, not much worse than Zi Rui Oni. ”
"It seems that I really have to get to know the people in the company well, otherwise I won't know each other face-to-face, and I will really laugh off my big teeth." Zixi thought to herself. However, because of this reason, Zixi decided to take a good look and fully understand the real strength of the trainees of TCE and CE, and how far away they are from S.M, DSP and JYP.
Zheng Xiujing, Cui Xueli and Song Qian took Zixi's car to TCE's company headquarters building, which was the first time they entered the headquarters building of a hostile company. Looking at the spacious lobby and the gorgeously decorated building, compared with the short building of S.M Company, Zheng Xiujing has to sigh at TCE's wealth.
Zixi took them to the auditorium familiarly, this auditorium is usually the main place for the company's anniversary celebration, or the main location for fans and fans to hold events, so all the sound and video equipment in the entire auditorium is readily available, and it is absolutely not a problem to simply set up the stage and hold a mini concert.
When Zixi and the others came to the auditorium, there were already a lot of people here. They are generally based on the company, sitting in different areas, sitting in the front, naturally the directors or senior executives of major brokerage companies, and even the president of some companies personally came out to help. Because Zixi has already seen President Kim Young-min from S.M, President Park Jin-young from JYP, President Lee Ho-yeon of DSP, President Lim Won-tae of CE, and of course President Yang Hyun-seok of TCE.
I really didn't expect that in the small draft competition, the presidents of the four major companies would come together. And after a cursory look, the vast majority of them are mainly female trainees, and only a few boys are sitting together, which is a little red in the green bushes, and it seems that the Warring States era of the women's group is really coming. Girls' Generation and WonderGirls are just sentinels, and it really needs to be seen who will survive this knockout round.
Zixi first asked Zheng Xiujing and the others to return to the area where S.M was located, and he bypassed the many seats and let the front row go. For a young man who suddenly appeared, many trainees from the company looked at him with curiosity, because there were very few male trainees present.
"Zixi? How did you get here? "The first person to see Zixi was Kim Jong Kook, who was sitting in the judges' seat, and he was one of the judges of today's talent competition. In addition, there are TVXQ's Hee Cheol, Gao Yaotai's Shin Ji, Chae Yeon, and Lee so-young, all of whom are strength and idol singers who have been famous in the Korean music industry for a long time.
"HI, Brother Zhong Guo, it turns out that you are today's judge!" Zixi smiled and greeted everyone who was stunned because they saw Zixi appear. Then he greeted the presidents of the four major companies who had already seen him: "Hello presidents!" Today, TCE is really a great honor, and it is actually a few presidents to come together, but it is full of brilliance. ”
It has been discovered that the person who came is actually many trainees of Zixi, and regardless of the president of the company and many executives who are sitting, they are noisy and discussing. It is really surprising that this star in the world who has not appeared for a long time actually ran to the scene of the draft competition.
"Huh! It's Zixi xi, I haven't seen you in a long time. The first to greet Zixi warmly was Park Jin-young.
Then CE's President Lin Yuantai also stood up, bowed slightly to Zixi and said, "Zixi!" Hello! ”
Then President Kim Young-min and President Lee Ho-yeon also greeted Zixi separately, although they were also enthusiastic, but they did not lose their identity. It's just that their hearts are full of curiosity, how could Zixi, who has always cared about company affairs and is indifferent to the music industry, suddenly appear here? Don't......? Their eyes couldn't help but look at Yang Xianshi on the side. But what they saw was that Yang Xianshi's eyes were also full of doubts.
