Chapter 38: Popular Songs (2)
After the opening Christmas carol, the four MCs took to the stage and made their opening remarks. For this show, SBS sent their strongest MC.
Seeing the four of them walk out of the backstage, the audience cheered. Only Cui Zhengyuan didn't know these four people, and his face was inexplicable. In his previous life, the MCs of the Korean music programs he followed were basically replaced by popular idols to make cameos, and now he is somewhat unaccustomed to seeing a very orthodox MC hosting a music program.
In fact, in the Korean entertainment industry at this stage, the professions of artists are still distinct. An actor is an actor, a singer is just a singer, and MC is also full-time in MC, and only a few people in Korea can do what they sing and act in.
Popular singers do MC to host music programs, although they do not have the MC majors from these anchors, but they are very in line with the characteristics of music programs. And popular singers, especially idol singers, are all handsome men and beautiful women, who appear in front of the TV through matching, and they are also very attractive to fans.
The slight mistake in hosting can also be made up for by other means, such as pretending to be cute, selling cuteness, spoiling or something, the audience can also understand it, and will feel closer. Between the two, it can be said that there are advantages and disadvantages.
The dialogue between the four MCs on the stage was lackluster, and Cui Zhengyuan listened drowsily. But looking around, everyone else listened with relish. I can't help but have a wry smile on my face, it seems that the generation gap of the times is really not so easy to close. Just like the shape of HOT, which has a huge influence on Korean society, it seems to me that it is really earthy, but everyone else thinks that it is the latest trend.
It seems that these four people will have to grind for a while, and they have to find something to do for themselves. Bored, Choi Jung-won asked Park Jung-ah for the order of the performance. Browsing from top to bottom, Cui Zhengyuan's brows were tightly wrinkled.
It seems that as Li Haoyu said, S.M is really domineering enough. For the entire 100-minute "Popular Ballads", his artists monopolized nearly 40 minutes of performance time. Look at the performance list, HOT, Mythology, SES, FLYTOTHESKY, these four groups alone need half an hour of performance time, not counting their collaborative stage or something.
Lee Jung-hyun's appearance order is in the middle part, because after the popular ballad ends, she still has an announcement to catch.
JYP's Park Ji-yin and GOD's performance time are a little behind, and the others are some sporadic singers and groups.
Cui Zhengyuan sneered in his heart, after the combination of A.P company is launched, see how long your S.M company can be rampant. Even if you S.M have support in SBS, the TV station will definitely not let you dominate like you now for the sake of reputation and interests.
Hearing the exclamations coming out of Li Zhixian's mouth from time to time beside him, Cui Zhengyuan looked sideways. I saw her beautiful eyes rippling, staring intently at the host on the stage.
Cui Zhengyuan then remembered that the sister beside him had never been the master of Anfen. Although she debuted as a singer, perhaps because of the failure of her first debut group, she has always felt insecure.
In his previous life, Lee Ji-hyun was a singer at the same time, and he also developed in the direction of actor and MC at the same time. Later, because Jewelry constrained her development path, she simply quit directly. You must know that Jewelry was formed by her and Park Zhenya themselves, and it embodies a lot of their hard work. It can be seen from this that Lee Ji-hyun is a girl who is determined and has a clear plan for her life.
Fortunately, Cui Zhengyuan is well aware of the development trend of the future combination and has started planning in advance. Lee Ji-hyun and them will be the pioneers of a new generation of idol groups. Lee Ji-hyun, Park Jung-ah, JEA, Chae-yeon, and Yoo In-na are all all-round talents who can achieve impressive results in many fields. The combination formed by their fusion is sure to bring a huge shock to the gradually ossifying Korean music scene.
He gently touched Lee Ji-hyun's arm and asked with a smile, "Do you like MC very much?"
Lee Ji-hyun was intently watching the hosting of several MCs when she suddenly felt a touch on her arm, interrupting her attention. When I turned my eyes, I heard the officer's question. "Of course. It's so much fun to work as an MC, and it's great to think about the feeling of being in control of the show." She makes no secret of her love for MCs and is passionate when she talks about it.
Cui Zhengyuan was secretly funny, this girl who was demure on the surface really had the heart of a queen. The competitive character is really innate, and the "Of course Queen" in "Xman" is really not called in vain.
"When you move to the new building, there will be a special MC teacher to teach you, so you can study hard. After your debut, if you have the right opportunity, the company will arrange for you to host some programs."
Li Zhixian was stunned for a moment, and asked softly: "Executive, aren't we the debut of a singer group?" How can you be an MC"?
"Weishenme can't? A singer is a singer, and it is very good for you to develop it in many ways. Don't let down the company's cultivation, in case you really want you to be an MC when the time comes, you can't do it well, don't blame me for not giving you a chance again." Cui Zhengyuan knocked her beforehand, lest she get carried away.
Now the company is much more relaxed with its artists and trainees than before, and Cui Zhengyuan is also afraid that they will be pampered and arrogant, so he has relaxed his requirements for himself, in case he fails to meet the standards for his debut, he will cry.
Li Zhixian said solemnly: "General manager, don't worry, since the company has given us such haode conditions." If we can't do well, we won't be able to pass this hurdle even if we do it ourselves." Because during the performance, in order not to disturb others, she tried to keep her voice as low as possible. It's just that her voice is small, but it has a reassuring feeling.
Speaking of which, among the five girls, she is the youngest, but she is also the most stable. If you look by age, Cai Yan, who was born in 1978, is the most suitable candidate for captain. However, this sister has a very easy-going personality, has no shelves, and is not good at communicating with people. Perhaps because of the hardships of life in Japan, she is very sensitive and always used to looking at other people's colors. As a captain, you must have a certain ability to make decisions, so Cui Zhengyuan excluded her.
JEA has the strongest personality and was also the captain of the brown-eyed girl in her previous life. It's just that today's teams are different, and the requirements for captains have changed. The other three of the brown-eyed girls are all younger than her age and have no leadership skills, so she has no problem leading them.
In the current team, there are both Chae Yeon, who is older than her, and Lee Ji-hyun, who can make up her mind, including Park Jung-ah, who is also strong. If JEA is the captain again, it may intensify the conflict within the team and be detrimental to the unity of the team.
The most obvious example is Park So-yeon, the captain of T-ara in later generations.
Choi Jung-won believes that if Park So-yeon does not leave S.M Company and debuts as the captain of Girls' Generation. So she was born in 1987 and led her sisters from 1989 to 1991, and she will definitely be a qualified captain.
But in the crown group, there are Lee Ju-ri and Jeon Bao-lan, who are older than her, and there are strong Hyun Eun-jung and Park Hyo-min. Although Park Ji-yeon is young, she is the most popular, and she is also not a good stubble.
Due to the company's problems, Park So-yeon did not serve as the captain of the crown from the beginning. In front of her, there are three captains, Baolan, Eunjing, and Hyomin. How can the first three people who retired have no ideas?
In the face of these three teammates, she is also difficult to manage. Coupled with the clumsy management methods of Kim Kwang-so, the parallel CEO, the atmosphere inside the crown has been very tense. Zuihou caused serious consequences in the termination of Hwa-young's contract, almost leading to the dissolution of the crown.
With the lessons of the past, Cui Zhengyuan is always cautious when choosing the captain of a combination.
The reason why Lee Ji-hyun was chosen is because this girl is smart enough and patient. When encountering things, it is not simply and rudely treated, but trying to find a solution in every possible way. At the same time, she pays attention to the way she handles interpersonal relationships, and does not impose her opinions on others, which belongs to the type of moisturizing things silently. To put it bluntly, Cui Zhengyuan's positioning of her is the adhesive, organically gluing the various angular team members into a whole.
"In the future, Minister Liu Zaishi, Vice Minister Jiang Hudong and Jin Jidong will all take time to give you lessons. They are busy with affairs and don't have many opportunities to attend classes, so you should seize the opportunity to learn more." Cui Zhengyuan pointed out to her earnestly. In the future, the three national MCs will come to teach a group of trainees, as long as they learn even 10% of their strengths from these three people, it will be enough for her to be inexhaustible on the road to MC.
Lee Ji-hyun's eyes kept rolling and staring at Choi Jung-won curiously.
Feeling the fire of her gossip, Cui Zhengyuan realized that he had leaked his mouth. Jiang Hudong and Jin Jidong are about to sign a contract with A.P Company, which is still top secret and cannot be disclosed to the outside world.
This is not to blame Cui Zhengyuan for being careless, the main thing is that it is easy to stay with these trainees, and he is too lazy to use his scheming. Although the circle of trainees is also very cruel, the survival of the fittest is ruthless. But compared with Cui Zhengyuan's daily interactions, the mental consumption is not a little worse.
He is accustomed to spending all his scheming on dealing with those insidious business and political elites, and it is difficult for him to be vigilant at all times when he encounters a trainee who is quite pure in his eyes.
solemnly told Li Zhixian to keep it secret, and never leak this news. Fortunately, Li Zhixian is not a person who does not have a door, he knows that the stakes are high, and he has already secretly awakened in his heart. However, I still can't stop marveling in my heart, A.P company has just been established, and it can dig up powerful people one after another, which shows how strong the capital of this company is.
