As a senior agent of S.M, how can Song Ki-beom not know that he was previously appointed by the president Kim Young-min as the chief agent of Girls' Generation, and then was appointed by President Lee so-man as Cho Won-hee's agent, Song Ki-beom naturally understood Lee so-man's intentions, and transferred himself from Girls' Generation's agent without demonstrating to the president Kim Young-min.

Song Ki-beom knows a thing or two about the power struggle between the president and the director, and even if he doesn't want to get involved, he can't resist the pressure of either side, so he can only take one step at a time. In terms of popularity and the importance of the company, the transfer from the head agent of Girls' Generation to the agent of Zhao Yuanxi, who is about to make his solo debut, will be much easier in terms of workload, even if it is not a promotion.

In his place, he seeks his own affairs. Since Song Jifan was Zhao Yuanxi's agent, he planned for him wholeheartedly, and said to Zhao Yuanxi meticulously: "The company will arrange a separate dormitory for you, do you have any special requirements for the dormitory?" ”

"A dormitory for one person?"

Song Ki-beom nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"The closer to the company, the better, and there are no special requirements for anything else."

Zhao Yuanxi's time is limited, so he naturally doesn't want to waste his precious time on the unnecessary round-trip journey, and the dormitory is of course as close to the company as possible. Song Jifan nodded in agreement, Zhao Yuanxi's request coincided with the company's arrangement, usually in order to facilitate the company's management, the dormitories of the artists under the entertainment company are very close to the company, basically located in the Jiangnanquan, and the dormitory of Girls' Generation is located in Cheongdam-dong.

Song Ki-beom said: "I will arrange the dormitory as soon as possible, and your itinerary in the afternoon is vocal training and dance training." Song Jifan simply explained some precautions to Zhao Yuanxi, exchanged the mobile phone numbers of the three with him, and arranged for Kim Zhengsheng to find a suitable dormitory.

Hearing Song Ki-bum mention the itinerary, Zhao Yuanxi's heart sank, and he realized that he would no longer have the idle lifestyle he had before, and he would embark on a difficult and challenging road to idol stardom, which he chose by himself, even if he was scarred, he would never back down without regrets.

The person in charge of teaching Cho Won-hee dance was S.M's performance director Shen Jae-won, and Cho Won-hee was slightly surprised that Shen Jae-won had met him before, the young man with blonde hair and pigtails in the practice room of Girls' Generation.

Shim Jae-won was born in BlackBest and is known as the strongest dance group in Korean history, and is known as a dance machine by fans because of its superb dancing skills and beautiful vocals. S.M's choreography team is dominated by BlackBest five, with Shim Jae-won and Hwang Sang-hoon as the core.

I have to say that S.M is the best of the three major entertainment agencies in terms of inheritance, similar to the former group HOT's An Qixuan as the company's executive director, BlackBest five people also stayed in the company as soul choreographers, and many dances of TVXQ and SJ are from their hands.

Born in 83, Shen Zaiyuan loves dance and music, and feels uncomfortable when he doesn't listen to music for a day, because of his love for music and his naturally cheerful and optimistic personality, many juniors of S.M company such as TVXQ, SJ and Du Shen Jae-won have a very good relationship and often play together.

"Have you been trained professionally in dance before?" Shen Zaiyuan looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of him, and spoke.

"I practiced dancing for a while when I was very young, and it lasted about three years." Zhao Yuanxi said frankly that he also knew that compared with composition ability and singing, dance is his own shortcoming.

"Feel free to skip a bit." Shen Zaiyuan first had to understand Zhao Yuanxi's strength so that he could formulate a corresponding training plan.

As the music sounded, Zhao Yuanxi improvised a hip-hop dance, and even he felt that his body was very uncoordinated and his movements were too jerky.

Shen Zaiyuan was entrusted by Li Xiuman to personally serve as Zhao Yuanxi's dance teacher, just to quickly improve Zhao Yuanxi's dance strength in the shortest possible time, and said quietly: "You need to strengthen the body coordination exercise, and you are not outstanding enough in terms of strength, and you also need to strengthen in strength." Let's start with Popping. ”

Popping is a kind of hip-hop dance, and the shoulders, chest, arms, legs and other parts are expressed. POPPING is usually used as a personal solo, and sometimes Covering is also included in it, less line dancing, which belongs to Oldschool. Shen Jae-won said this, clearly revealing the company's plan to make Zhao Yuanxi's SOLO debut. It's a pity that Zhao Yuanxi doesn't know how to dance, so he naturally can't understand the meaning of Shen Zaiyuan's words.

Shen Zaiyuan arranged the first lesson of dance for Zhao Yuanxi is the training of body coordination, that is, to stretch the body as much as possible to coordinate various parts to achieve a harmonious rhythm, the first lesson is not difficult to enter the door, compared to many trainees who need to exercise for 16 hours a day 24 hours a day, Zhao Yuanxi is undoubtedly lucky, he only needs to arrange a reasonable time training according to Shen Zaiyuan's plan.

After finishing his dance training, Zhao Yuanxi came to Yu Yongzhen's studio to receive vocal training according to Song Ki-beom's itinerary.

Different from the first meeting Yu Yongzhen with a smile on his face, Director Yu, who entered the working state, looked serious and said: "I listened to the different versions of "In My Song" sung by you, your advantage is that you have a wide vocal range and high sound recognition, especially in the midrange part, the stability is very strong, and the disadvantages are also obvious, the treble explosiveness is too weak, the bass is slightly magnetic, and it is a little hoarse. ”

"You are very smart, you know how to play up your strengths and avoid weaknesses, and give full play to your strengths in the songs you write," Yu Yongzhen smiled slightly, and then said with a straight face, "But as a professional singer, you are not allowed to have the slightest flaws and shortcomings, especially if you sing a lot of guttural voices, this is a completely wrong method, and your vocal cords will be destroyed in less than two years." ”

"To put it simply, the science of singing is the science of breathing. The sound line is supported by qi, and without enough qi as the sound source, it is impossible for the sound line to remain smooth, free and rounded. To achieve this, it is necessary not only to fully expand the ribs of the rib cage, but also to tightly control the abdominal muscles of the diaphragm and its interlocking parts. The fulcrum of the breath is the support of the strength of the waist and abdominal muscles for singing, that is, to obtain the most beautiful and best voice with the least qi and the least force. The fulcrum should be solid and powerful, able to support the strength, to be down-to-earth, head high, full of confidence, and walking like walking, not like walking on thin ice, stepping on a tightrope, tiptoeing, and sneaking gas. The fulcrum in singing is more about muscle control and flexible elasticity. ”

"You have to be professionally trained, and the first step is to master the breath, and when you control the breath, you learn how to sing high notes."

Yu Yongzhen's first lesson for Zhao Yuanxi was also very simple and introductory, systematically explaining the basic principles and simple techniques of breathing and vocalization, and allowing him to practice them when he had time. S.M is not only Zhao Yuanxi as an artist, Yu Yongzhen has a lot of work as a vocal director, especially the most important music production, which needs to be personally checked by him. At the end of the day's trip, in general, it was quite easy, Zhao Yuanxi left the company and went down to the practice room of the girls' generation on the first floor to say goodbye to them, the girls are still training, compared to Zhao Yuanxi, they undoubtedly put a lot more time into training, and the dance of nine people needs a longer time to run-in.

When Zhao Yuanxi returned to Li's villa in the city-north district, Li Mingxian had already gone home, and was sitting on the sofa in the hall reading the newspaper, when he saw Zhao Yuanxi enter the door and smiled: "How did you feel on your first day as an Idol?" ”

"It's easy," Zhao Yuanxi said confidently, "Uncle Heon, I'm going to move to the dormitory arranged for me by Apgujeong or Cheongdam-dong S.M. to live, and I have more time to practice if it's closer to the company." ”

Li Mingxian nodded and smiled: "Remember to say goodbye to Shanya when you leave, otherwise she will cry for you." ”

"Xie Lu, Uncle Xie Xian."

Zhao Yuanxi naturally knew that Lee Myung-hun had specially greeted S.M. because he had specially greeted S.M, otherwise how could the No. 1 entertainment agency in South Korea give him perhaps the most lenient contract in South Korea, and carry out all-round training and packaging for him, all thanks to Lee Myung-heon.

Li Mingxian just nodded, "Don't let me down." ”

Zhao Yuanxi said in a deep voice: "If you choose the road, I will keep going." ”
