Chapter 582: Draft Contest (4)
PledisEntertainment and CoreCentensMedia merged into Kim Hee-sun & Associates to form a new integrated entertainment company, ConstellationEntertainment. After a year of hard work, a group of trainees who are excellent in appearance, singing skills and dancing were finally discovered. Among them are Park Ka-hee, Kim Jung-ah, Lee Joo-yeon, BEKAH, Yoo Xiao-young, Jeon Bao-lan, Lee Ju-ri, Park So-yeon, Han Eun-jeong, Park Hyo-min and Park Ji-yeon, etc., who will become members of the two newly formed girl groups, which are also the main members of CE's participation in the women's team group battle.
Among them, Park Jiaxi, Kim Jung-ah, Lee Joo-yeon, BEKAH, and Yoo Xiao-young have already decided on the name of the group--- AfterSchool, waiting for a suitable reality, as well as the completion of the debut song. They also came to the scene of the draft competition today, and they had a long time with the trainees of other companies. As for the rest of the trainees, although the time for their debut has not yet been determined, the CE side has not relaxed and has also arranged for them to participate in the competition, just to give them enough stage experience.
Zixi, the director and predecessor of the company who appeared slightly, these young trainees have been admired for a long time, but unfortunately Zixi's irresponsibility has never had the opportunity to meet. Today's irregular stage, Zixi's sudden appearance did surprise many people, and these trainees of CE companies were all surprised and looking forward to officially meeting Zixi.
President Lin Yuantai led Zixi Zixi to the area where the CE trainees were located, only to see a group of beautiful girls about seventeen or eighteen years old standing up collectively, bowing to Zixi, and respectfully greeting: "Hello director!" ”
"Good! Good! Hello everyone! "Zixi, who was stared at by so many pairs of beautiful big eyes and had enough resistance to beautiful women, couldn't help blushing." This is not a company, don't be inhibited, just call me a senior, don't be so formal. ”
President Lin Yuantai also knew that Zixi didn't like the overly formal etiquette of South Korea, smiled and waved his hand, and said to the group of girls: "Zixi said so, let's be natural, introduce yourself, and let Zixi get to know each other." ”
"Yes, although I am a director, I am indeed very irresponsible as a director, and I have not met with you since the company was established for a long time." Zixi said self-deprecatingly: "Let's introduce ourselves, let me know the newcomer who is about to debut in the company." ”
Although President Lin Yuantai and Zixi told everyone not to be restrained, in the face of the company's senior management, directors and seniors, the etiquette that goes deep into the bone marrow cannot be eliminated at once. The five tall girls stood up first, bowed respectfully to Zixi, and said, "Hello Zixi seniors! We are Park Ka-hee (Kim Jung-ah, Lee Joo-yeon, BEKAH, Yoo Xiao-young) from AfterSchool. ”
"Oh? Even the name of the group? Zixi looked at President Lin Yuantai curiously.
President Lin Yuantai smiled slightly: "That's right, the company has decided to launch our first girl group group at the beginning of next year, which is AfterSchool." This resolution has been confirmed by the Board of Directors and unanimously adopted by all Directors. Now they are preparing for their debut single, as well as their debut stage. And we are ready to use the form of fixed addition and removal of members to promote this group, which is a new attempt. Jiaxi and the others are the members of the first phase, and there will be other outstanding trainees from the company to join in the future, but they didn't bring everyone together today. ”
Zixi nodded and said, "It's good to promote a new form, but you also need to see the situation clearly and make appropriate adjustments, don't stick to the old rules." ”
"I see." President Lin Yuantai nodded.
After Zixi got to know the five members of AfterSchool one by one, her eyes were on the other girls who looked younger. The six girls also bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Hello Zixi senior! I'm Han Eun-jung (Jeon Bao-lan, Lee Ju-ri, Park So-yeon, Park Hyo-min, Park Ji-yeon). ”
"So-yeon, we haven't seen each other in a long time." Zixi smiled at one of the short girls with long shawl hair.
"Azus-hee-spp. still remembers me?" Park So-yeon asked in surprise.
Under the stunned expressions of the others, Zixi nodded and said with a smile: "I have seen you in the practice room of S.M company before, if it wasn't for Xiao Jing telling me, I wouldn't know that you transferred to CE to sit as a trainee!" ”
Park So-yeon also remembered that Zi-hee went to S.M's company to find a member of Girls' Generation, and as one of the preparatory members of Girls' Generation at that time, she certainly met Zi-hee. It's just that he didn't have much intersection with Zixi at that time, unlike Taeyeon, Sika and Yori, who were close to Zixi. Unexpectedly, Zixi, who didn't see much of her, actually remembered herself until now, which surprised Park So-yeon inexplicably.
"When I meet you for the first time today, I don't want to talk about any long nonsense. I just want to remind you that whether it is AfterSchool, which is about to debut, or Eun Jing and So-yeon, who will debut in the future, you must remember that your debut does not mean that you are successful, it is only the end of your career as a trainee, and it also represents the beginning of your career as a singer. In the Korean music industry, there are many masters, and the singers and groups who can stand on the stage are all excellent people who have been tempered by thousands of tempers, and you not only have to enrich yourself, but also need to keep striding forward, and you must understand the truth that if you don't advance, you will retreat. I look forward to the day when you will be able to become the top girl group in the Korean music industry like Fin.k.l, or even surpass them. Tell me, do you have faith? ”
"There is ......!" Eleven girls shouted in unison. It also attracted the attention of the trainees of the rest of the companies around him, and looked curiously at this group of trainees who promised Zixi.
Zixi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, it's best for you to have this confidence, and I look forward to seeing you again at the company's celebration party." ”
Seeing Zixi talking so well, the girls were a lot less cowardly and worried. Park Suyan, who is an old acquaintance with Zixi, boldly asked, "Senior Zixi! I have a question for you, I don't know if it's okay? ”
"Oh! What do you want to ask? Although it is brought up. Zixi nodded.
Park So-yeon sorted out her thoughts and asked carefully, "There is a rumor outside that Zixi's predecessor is negotiating with S.M Company to buy a Girls' Generation brokerage contract, is this true?" If this agreement is established, will Girls' Generation also join ConstellationEntertainment and become our senior? ”
No one, including President Lim Won-tae, expected Park So-yeon to bring up this issue, but then she thought about it and understood. With Zixi's love and care for Girls' Generation, if they join ConstellationEntertainment, then the company's resources will inevitably be tilted towards them. Park So-yeon, who used to be a preparatory member of Girls' Generation, is well aware of the true strength of the members of Girls' Generation. If Girls' Generation had become a girl group at ConstellationEntertainment, they would have fewer chances to debut. After all, the company is a newcomer to the music industry, and many things are being explored and practiced, and it is impossible to run three girl groups at the same time, even if the styles of these three groups are completely different.
President Lin Yuantai didn't expect Park So-yeon to ask such a sensitive topic, and scolded with a cold face: "These are not things you should care about. ”
Zixi looked at Park Su-yeon with a smile, and her shrewd gaze seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. Raising his hand to stop President Lin Yuantai, he asked with a chuckle, "So Su Yan, do you want them to join the company?" ”
"This?" Park So-yeon didn't know how to answer. To be honest, of course she doesn't want to, but if she answers truthfully, then she will inevitably offend Zixi and affect her debut, which is not worth it. But to make her say things against her will, she doesn't want to deceive herself.
Zixi did not continue to delve into Park Suyan, and said: "You can rest assured that the company's established articles of association will not be changed. You just have to be yourself, and you don't have to worry too much about the rest. As for Girls' Generation, I can tell you for sure that none of them will join ConstellationEntertainment. ”
With Zixi's assurance, several girls such as Jeon Baolan, Han Eunjing and Park Ji-yeon breathed a sigh of relief. Although they have never seen Girls' Generation, they have all heard of Girls' Generation from Park So-yeon, and they have also seen and listened to Girls' Generation's debut MV and album, so they have a little understanding of Girls' Generation's strength, and of course they don't want such a strong competitor to come in the company.
"Papa" Zixi clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said, "Don't think too much about things, there are some things that can't be said to you now." I'm here today to see your strength, do your best, show all your strength, and don't let me go in vain. ”
"Whew!"
Finally finished meeting with the trainees of CE, Zixi and President Lin Yuantai returned to their seats. After President Lin Yuantai sat down, he asked in a low voice, "Young Master!" Is Girls' Generation really not going to join CE? With their strength, they can play a lot of roles in the company. ”
Zixi looked at the stage that was ready to start and said: "The strength of the company is to need to improve the trainees of the original company such as Kim Jung-ah, Lee Joo-yeon, Park So-yeon, Han Eun-jeong, Park Hyo-min and Park Ji-yeon, although the joining of Girls' Generation will play a catalytic role, but this will not last long." If the company wants to stand firm in the music industry, its own heritage and experience must be sufficient. It's like TCE, there were singers poached by Fin.k.l, Kim Jong Kook, Lee Jung-hyun and so on in the past, but now they are also trying their best to cultivate their own trainees? Isn't Se7en and Bigbang successful because of this? ”
President Lin Yuantai thought about it and nodded. As an elite member cultivated by the family, he can be entrusted with important tasks by Mrs. Aina, and of course he will not only look at the surface of things. The reason why S.M, JYP and DSP are several pillar companies in the Korean music industry, and even TCE, Korea's No. 1 entertainment company, ranks second in the music industry, because they have years of accumulated heritage, have a perfect and reasonable training mechanism, and have cultivated countless potential trainees, which are the main factors for them to win the Korean music industry.
As a newcomer to the music industry, CE not only has to absorb and digest the legacy of PledisEntertainment and CoreCentensMedia, but also has a lot to learn from other companies. Rome was not built in a day, and thousands of tall buildings also need to be built from the ground, and there is no shortcut to doing anything, it is all walked step by step. If you want to make CE bigger and stronger, these accumulations are necessary and necessary.
"Young master, don't worry! I'll manage the company well. ”
