Chapter 348: Trainee Selection Meeting (1)
PS: xiexie's 10,000 rewards and Kiki's rewards.
Due to the promotion of the ruthless feather to the head of the house, tomorrow's fourth watch will be celebrated, everyone pay attention!!
The part that took place in the studio was quickly over, and the remaining outdoor part could not be filmed until Choi Jung-won returned to the Grammys at the end of February.
For the cooperation with Cui Zhengyuan, Oprah is very satisfied and has been smiling. The magic hand action that Cui Zhengyuan did to her will make her lucky for a whole year.
After participating in "Oprah Talk Show", the promotional activities of the first series officially ended.
With the aftermath of brilliant achievements, Choi Jung-won stepped on the plane back to South Korea.
Five months have passed since I came to the United States at the end of August last year.
Choi Jung-won has released an album, a single, and a fantasy novel in the United States. Without exception, these have achieved world-renowned results, and have also turned the behind-the-scenes boss of the Korean entertainment industry into the hottest shijie superstar today.
But this is not the end, he will make a comeback after going back to deal with business. At that point, perhaps he can proudly say that he is the king of this territory.
Since going back this time was a business matter, not publicity, Cui Zhengyuan deliberately concealed the itinerary.
For a person like him, if he wants to let others know, no one can really find out.
It wasn't until he passed through the customs at Incheon Airport that he was recognized by the beautiful woman in charge of security.
The little beauty is not very old, and it is obvious that she has not worked for long. Holding Cui Zhengyuan's passport in his hand, he trembled vigorously. His lips twitched several times before he asked with a crying voice, "Lance, can you sign for me?" ”
Choi Jung-won pulled his sunglasses Xiangxia a little, revealing bright eyes. "Miss, you are at work, be careful of being fired."
The security girl's face turned red, and she said excitedly: "I can get your signature." I'm willing to lose my job. ”
Cui Zhengyuan proudly snatched his passport and walked away. Leaving only the stinky fart in the air, "I don't want to raise you, let's be self-reliant." ”
The security girl was full of longing, but she suddenly became stunned, and then the silver teeth were bitten together, and her eyes were full of anger as she looked at Cui Zhengyuan's distant back. "Yaxi, what is the broken star?"
"Jin Yuhan (book friend nylon's heart cameo), what are you doing? Bad work, verbal abuse of customers. Do you want to be fired? "It's time for her to have a bad day, and the broken thoughts happened to be heard by the director who passed by.
Okay, Jin Yuhan's sister, who didn't abide by the etiquette norms, was sad and reprimanded.
Fortunately, she is beautiful, well-behaved and cute, and she sincerely admits her mistakes, and the supervisor spared her after a few words.
It's just that the international star Cui Zhengyuan is remembered by her. "Hmph, Cui Zhengyuan, I don't believe that you won't go abroad in the future. Sooner or later, you will fall into my hands. ”
In the direction that Choi Jung-won left. Jin Yuhan clenched his five slender and tender jade fingers and let out a demonic laugh. The passengers in front of them were so frightened that they thought that the imported food they were carrying had been discovered.
A small episode, Cui Zhengyuan quickly forgot. When he returned to the company, the outside world also spread the news that he had secretly returned to China.
For him to return home at this time. Almost everyone knows about the cause of weishenme.
The advertisement that A.P was going to recruit trainees had spread to everyone at home and abroad as early as a month ago.
The appeal of South Korea's largest entertainment company is undeniable, and people who are interested in breaking into the entertainment industry have long been ready to show their skills.
Now Choi Jung-won is back. Obviously, he personally presided over the selection of trainees. This makes people who are prepared even more eager to meet him, even if they can't be chosen. It's not worth it.
As a result, near the end of registration that night, there was a large increase in the number of people.
The next day was the day of the selection meeting, and after Cui Zhengyuan returned to the company, the first thing he did was to get together for a meeting with relevant personnel.
Only when the purpose of the selection meeting is well established can efficiency be improved.
It's not what the outside world imagines, the trainee selection meeting is to let the contestants get together, and after performing their talents on stage one by one, the agency chooses according to their performance.
In that case, it will be time-consuming and laborious, and it is easy to leave good seedlings behind.
Before the selection competition, it is necessary to have a systematic plan to establish the selection criteria for this event and what talents the company urgently needs, so as to be targeted.
In an entertainment company, it is not that the more trainees the better, and there is a limit to everything. Even with the strength of A.P Company, a maximum of 200 trainees has reached the limit.
No amount of resources to launch is a complete waste. When the time comes, if you don't want people to make their debut, those who can't afford to wait will switch to other families.
I spent a lot of effort to cultivate talents, but I fulfilled others, isn't I a fool.
This is also an important reason why there are not many trainees in all Korean entertainment companies in Weishenme.
They will only select talents that fit their current needs and have planned goals for the future, plus certain back-up supplements. As for the others, no matter how good they are, they have to be discarded.
This is also Weishenme's various entertainment companies, which have a lot of lost talents.
The outside world commented that the company did not appreciate the vision and missed the potential seedlings.
But I don't want to think about whether this person can have achievements later if he stays in this company?
Just like IU, who was eliminated by JYP, Park Jin-young kept joking that he regretted it. But in fact, if you think about it, if you stay in JYP company, IU can still be the "national sister", who knows? Even whether he can make his debut is a question.
In this selection activity, the relevant participants of Haode were determined, in addition to Cui Zhengyuan, the main person in charge of the overall situation, there were also Han Chenghao, the director of the music production department, and Guo Zairong, the director of the film and television production department, these three people are the main people in charge behind the scenes.
Participating in the direct selection are Cho Jeong-koo, the head of the trainee department, Kim Ji-dong of the performing arts department, Ha Ji-won of the film and television production department, Choreographer Xu Byung-goo, and vocal teacher Jung Jae-type.
These are all the participants in this selection activity, including acting skills, singing skills, dance, performing arts and other mainstream artist skills.
In the small conference room, after everyone was seated, Cui Zhengyuan began to say, "Okay, everyone is here." Let's talk about your preparations. ”
Zhao Zhengjiu, the head of the trainee department, has been in charge of the overall work on the front line, so he took the lead in saying: "As of this afternoon, we have counted the number of applicants. Already more than two thousand people. The number is a bit much, excluding some who cannot be present, it is estimated that there will be no less than fifteen hundred. ”
For this number, everyone is calm.
Last year's S.M company draft, with so many people participating, there is no reason why A.P company is not as good as others.
Han Chenghao estimated it and said, "With so many people, it can't be done in one day. I don't know, it's going to take two days. ”
Zhao Zhengjiu said with a smile: "Regarding this, Executive Cui has already given instructions. Therefore, the trainee department has made complete preparations. The company is only responsible for the selection of trainees in the area around Seoul, and the local office will handle the other places that are far away. In this way, we only have a little more than a thousand people here, and we can squeeze in about a day. ”
Cui Zhengyuan instructed: "It's better to arrange two days, the time is more free, and the province is in a hurry and doesn't look carefully, and misses the talent we need." ”
Kim Jidong raised his hand and said, "If it's two days, I'll miss the next day's draft." There was an itinerary that day. It must be rushed. ”
"It's okay, when the time comes, brother, you can just go to the trip, and let Zheng Hengton do it for you." A.P company doesn't have much else, it's just that there are a lot of people. Pick and choose, there are always people who are not so busy, so Cui Zhengyuan relieved his worries.
Kim Ji-dong has no problem, Ha Ji Won said what he is responsible for. "Currently the actor piece. There are a lot of small trainees in the company, Lee Seung-gi and Song Jong-gi are very good, you see. Is it to target a slightly higher age group this time, so that there will be no fault in the actors in the company. ”
Choi Jung-won nodded and appreciated Ha Ji Won's carefulness.
At present, the actors in the company, Won Bin, Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun, Ha Ji Won and others are all from the early 80s, and although Lee Seung Ki and Song Jong Ki are similar to them, it will take time to take over.
In this case, there is a big gap in between.
"Your opinion is very good, but if you really find any haode seedlings, you can't miss it." Cui Zhengyuan deliberately explained, afraid that this drill will really miss some little demons.
Ha Ji Won said that he would pay attention, and carefully marked it in the notebook.
Jin Jidong also asked: "Standing Officer, are there any restrictions on the selection of performing arts?" ”
Cui Zhengyuan thought about it carefully and found that except for some of the current company, plus those who have already debuted and become famous, there are really not many gagmen that he can look at.
Kim Jidong and his group can be said to be the golden generation of the Korean entertainment industry, and in the future, it will inevitably begin to decline. "No, I'm very reassuring to you in this regard, although the selection is based on your standards."
He found a better reason, he couldn't tell the truth, that would be too hurtful.
After them, Xu Binggu, who had been silent, also spoke.
This choreographer is inconspicuous and low-key in the company. But I really don't have anything to say about my talent, and I always make a dance that is eye-catching and memorable. The most famous is T-ara's "RolyPoly".
So his opinion, Cui Zhengyuan attaches great importance to it.
"At present, among the candidates for the boy group closest to their debut, Lee Hyuk-jae is better at poping, Han Geng's mechanical dance is okay, and Hip-hop has the right to Zhilong and is not a big problem, but they are both weak in House and Jazz. So I think the focus of this selection can be placed on this aspect. Xu Binggu gave a very professional opinion.
Cui Zhengyuan thought about it carefully, and there was no way to haode.
It is very difficult for people who are good at dancing, especially those who are good at a certain kind of dance, to find them deliberately. In this regard, you can't force it, you can only go with the flow. Or in the professors that follow, dig out slowly. "This can only be paid attention to, if it is really not, we can't do it. Teacher Xu Binggu, it all depends on your sharp eyes. ”
Zuihou, he looked at Jung Jae-type.
"Voice of Paris" waved his hand and said: "There is nothing to be picky about in this aspect of singing, and this is what singers rely on the most." When you encounter haode, whether it is something we urgently need or not, we can't let it go. ”
He has a point, no company would have the luxury of letting go of a trainee seedling with excellent singing skills.
"So that's it, refer to these conditions that we have summarized and use them as a benchmark for tomorrow's selection. Everyone go back and get ready, and hope everything goes well tomorrow. Choi Jung-won made a concluding speech and set the tone for tomorrow's draft. (To be continued......)
