Chapter 17 Trainee Planning (1)
After a ridiculous oolong incident, Cui Zhengyuan was not sleepy at all. Sitting alone behind a desk, laughing and shaking his head helplessly.
This state lasted until Park Jung-ah and Lee Ji-hyun arrived.
The two girls are slightly older than Choi Jung-won, so it's not easy for him to put on the boss's shelf. After inviting the two of them to sit down, I personally prepared coffee for them.
At the company meeting that day, as representatives of the trainees who were about to make their debut, Park Jung-ah and Lee Ji-hyun had both met Choi Jung-won. At that time, they had the impression that this boss had a cold face and was free to sway, even in front of thousands of people. So although Cui Zhengyuan is young, when they heard that they were going to meet, they were both nervous.
Now seeing Cui Zhengyuan's smile like the boy next door, I feel a little relieved.
"Miss Park Jung-ah, Miss Lee Ji-hyun, you are all older than me, if you don't care, I'll call you slaves", Choi Jung-won deliberately made a kind move to make the two girls relax.
"The executive is polite, it's too late for us to be happy to have a brother like you", although Park Zhenya looks more sassy, but when it comes to negotiations, it has always been Lee Ji-hyun who has come forward.
Cui Zhengyuan didn't get straight to the point, and chatted with them briefly. "I don't know, how does Nuna feel about the current company, and is there anything that needs the company's help to solve?"
Lee Ji-hyun and Park Jung-ah exchanged glances, as if they were exchanging something, and then Lee Ji-hyun said: "I feel good now, the company's management is not as strict as before, and we have a lot of free time." It's just that I don't know what the company has about our debut, is there anything to do"? Sure enough, what they are most concerned about at the moment is their future fate.
The new company has just been formed, and there must be a lot of various things. They are also afraid that this will delay their debut. Haven't you been training for so long just for this day? Now they are bored for every extra day they wait.
Cui Zhengyuan sorted out the wording, "Regarding your debut, the company has some plans, and I came to you this time to communicate with you."
"Really? When are we going to make our debut?" Park Jung-ah asked urgently, and sure enough, it was an anxious person.
"That's right". Although it was a little unbearable to look at their expectant looks, Cui Zhengyuan, as the person in charge of the company, must act according to his own will. For the sake of the company's interests, it is impossible to be rash and relax the guidelines casually as soon as the mind is hot.
"The company has decided to postpone your debut because the company has a brand new jihua and needs to reposition and repackage you. And according to the new plan, some of you are not up to the mark, so you need to bring in additional personnel. In this case, it will have to be postponed".
Hearing Cui Zhengyuan's words, the expressions of the two girls quickly dimmed. Park Zhenya said unwillingly: "Weishenme, the current company's affairs have nothing to do with our debut." What's more, we have already made preparations for our debut, and the company will erase our efforts in a word"?
Compared with Park Zhenya's slightly angry tone, Li Zhixian is much more insipid, but the content of his words cannot be ignored, "I hope the company can really think about it for us, after all, we are not young." Over the years, we have been under too much pressure for this path. If we still don't see hope, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on any longer."
Cui Zhengyuan smiled and explained: "You misunderstood what I meant, the company didn't let you debut, it just delayed the time."
Park Zhenya snorted coldly, "It's not the same, I'm 20 years old this year, how much youth can be wasted"?
Cui Zhengyuan didn't care about her attitude, and said kindly: "The company must have an overall consideration for doing this." We also hope to launch more artists to bring benefits to the company."
Li Zhixian forced to ask: "Isn't that just right, our team members have already been gathered." As long as the company arranges a broker, we are fully equipped to make our debut."
"Are you really ready to make your debut? Yes, Park Jung-ah, Lee Ji-hyun, I admit that your strength is enough, but what about Jang You-jin and Jeon Eun-min? Honestly, what do you think of them?"
"Even if the strength is a little worse, but as singers, they are enough to deal with it"? Although Li Zhixian was also very annoyed, he still spoke slowly. It's just that she is the main person in charge of the creation of the group, and she is more clear about what Cui Zhengyuan said, so her tone is not so confident.
"Cope"? Cui Zhengyuan pouted, "If this is your answer, but it will disappoint me."
“weishenme? Aren't we right? When we debut, we can give back to the company, but weishenme can't"? Seeing Choi Jung-won's disdainful expression, Park Jung-ah became angry. If he weren't the boss, maybe Park Da Mei would have staged a full martial arts.
"Do you know what your debut means?" Cui Zhengyuan crossed his hands and hugged them to his chest, examining them.
Watching Cui Zhengyuan instantly transform into a serious expression, even a well-informed person like Lee Ji-hyun was a little overwhelmed, "......What does it mean, what does it mean?"
"You are the first combination to be launched by A.P after its founding. Do you know how significant this is?" Choi Jung-won decided to teach them a good lesson. "The company has just been established, and it must be an instant hit, only in this way can the company quickly gain a firm foothold in the music industry. Let people know that A.P is able to cultivate qualified talents. Therefore, in your combination, the people who can be selected must be selected by thousands of people, and they must have both strength and talent. Isn't it a word like this to be used on you to make the company laughed at"?
"So, the new plan is real"? Li Zhixian was delicate and heard the meaning of his words.
"Of course, as the first group to be launched after the establishment of the company, you must be able to carry the company's banner in terms of idols. Not only that, but you also have to be strong enough to compete with the combination of Mythology, G.O.D, SES, and Fin.K.L.
Park Jung-ah and Lee Ji-hyun just want to recruit a few team members to fulfill their dream of debut. I didn't expect the company's ambitions to be much bigger, and it was completely planned by myself as a Hallyu star. Think about the current strength of A.P company, which is completely comparable to **, JYP, and DSP, but what is lacking is only the recognition of the outside world and the singers who can handle it. Therefore, there is no doubt about the authenticity of Cui Zhengyuan's statement.
The two women looked at each other for a moment, and they both saw excited looks in each other's eyes - if this is the case, then their future star journey will not know how many times better.
"Executive, may I ask, does the company have a new member for us?"
"Yes, there are now two suitable candidates. Zuihou is currently in Japan, and the company has sent someone to negotiate. According to the feedback back, the other party has agreed, and she will rush back to join you in the near future." Cui Zhengyuan revealed it slightly.
It turned out that Lee Ji-hyun and his wife had found two members in order to imitate FIN.K.L's four-person model. Now the company arranges a five-person group, and the composition of the personnel has changed a lot. Obviously, the jihua that Cui Zhengyuan just mentioned is not a casual perfunctory, but a work of real ambition.
"Are these three people really strong"? Park Jung-ah is most worried about the future of the group, fearing that the strength of the members will affect the future development. She didn't want to think about it, Cui Zhengyuan said so much earlier, can she check the difference with the members she is looking for now?
"It's not bad, it's guaranteed to make your eyes shine", Cui Zhengyuan said Guan Zidao.
"Oh, you really hate it, just tell us", Li Zhixian is as smart as a fox and is the best at reading people's hearts. Seeing that Cui Zhengyuan was in a good mood, he became coquettish.
Looking at her bright coquettish expression, Rao is Cui Zhengyuan had countless rouge gouaches rolled in his previous life, and he couldn't bear it. couldn't stand the coquettishness of the beauty, so he revealed some more. Anyway, it won't be long before they can see each other. It's really not a confidential matter, and it's not bad to take a Pomeranian smile.
"One of them, the creative ability is very outstanding, and she is currently working in the company's music production department, and she will also be the image of a talented woman in your group in the future." Choi Jung-won is talking about Kim Hyo-jin, that is, JEA. After a few occasional contacts, Cui Zhengyuan admired her talent, so he decided to join her into this group and debuted seven years earlier than later generations.
"There is another one who is very good-looking, and it will be the image of your group." Park Jung-ah and Lee Ji-hyun were surprised by these words, what kind of beauties they should be if they can be called outstanding people in A.P Company, which is full of beautiful women.
In fact, the person Cui Zhengyuan said is the one who has been in various entertainment companies for a long time before Zuihou became popular through the "unstoppable highkick".
Seeing Liu Renna's information in the trainee file, Cui Zhengyuan was also surprised. Unexpectedly, at this time, she was in her own company.
Liu Renna has been a singer trainee for a long time, but she has not been given the opportunity to debut, which shows that she really has no talent in singing and dancing. But it doesn't matter, Cui Zhengyuan's definition of this group is not a singer group in the strict sense. Liu Renna's singing skills almost don't matter, as long as they are average.
Cui Zhengyuan will not arrange too difficult songs for them, but he knows the power of saliva songs in a few years. Liu Renna's role in this combination is to pretend to be cute and cute, with her face and figure, as long as the operation is good, it is not a problem to become a new generation of goddesses. After all, she is only in her early twenties now, far from being an old woman who was almost thirty years old when she debuted in her previous life. In that case, no matter how beautiful you look, the stiffness of age will affect your popularity. I believe that even if her strength is not good, she can gain much higher popularity than others. It can be seen from her performance in later generations that she is a person who is very good at seizing opportunities.
"The one in Japan right now, the dancing ability is good, and the main thing is that it is very sexy, so I can serve as your sexy image in the future." The girl's name is Lee Jung-sook, and she will later have a stage name called Chae Yeon. Cui Zhengyuan has sent someone to Japan to reach an agreement with her current agency. Soon after, Chae Yeon will return to South Korea to join the training as a member of the new group.
In this way, this future combination is composed of the intelligent Lee Ji-hyun, the heroic Park Jung-ah, the intellectual JEA, the sexy Chae-yeon, and the beautiful Yoo In-na. Each member has different images and different talents, which can make the diversity of the group stronger.
For example, Lee Ji-hyun has outstanding abilities in MC, so you can make more arrangements for her in this regard. Cui Zhengyuan knows that in a few years, the entertainment program will be a weapon to attract fans. With memories beyond the times, there's no reason not to provide a way for your company's artists to become famous.
Park Jung-ah sang well and could participate in more stage plays. And his physical fitness is good, his acting skills are outstanding, and he is an excellent seedling for outdoor variety shows and film and television dramas.
JEA is outstanding in songwriting and can be responsible for the composition of songs. And the versatile image is more likely to be recognized by the outside world.
Cai Yan is a man's ideal lover, and no normal man can resist the temptation in his bones. And she has her own unique insights in fashion, and the company can support her to try fashion design.
Liu Renna's lovely beauty and reversed personality constitute a combination of contradictions. If such a person with reversal charm participates in variety shows, he will definitely become popular (the later "Heroes and Heroes" is proof of this). And her acting skills are the most haode of the five, and she can appear in more TV series and movies.
Choi Jung-won gave a detailed explanation of the group's positioning and future development expectations to Park Jung-ah and Lee Ji-hyun. The two beautiful eyes of the two women who listened were rippling, and their eyes were overflowing, and they could only nod their heads, but they couldn't find anything to refute.
At present, Korean groups are all fixed singers, and most of them gather popularity with perfect and mysterious styles. Even if you participate in some other activities, it seems dull and boring.
Cui Zhengyuan believes that when the group in his hands is ready, once it is launched, it will definitely bring an unparalleled impact to these old-fashioned combinations.
"So when is this group going to debut?" Lee Ji-hyun has already identified with Choi Jung-won's jihua, which is indeed more than a step above his original idea. The only thing that makes her relationship now is the exact time of her debut.
"The company's plan is at the beginning of 2003", Cui Zhengyuan did not reserve, and made the timetable clear.
"What? Two more years, isn't it too long"? Park Jung-ah has a tendency to blow up her hair again.
Cui Zhengyuan explained: "This is the most ideal situation, although the other three people are very talented, but they dare not compliment their basic skills." Not to mention the rest, their training takes a lot of time."
"Moreover, don't forget the most critical reason", Cui Zhengyuan is confident.
"What reason"? Li Zhixian was thoughtful, and vaguely understood. Park Jung-ah didn't have the interest to think about it, so she asked directly.
"It's going to be a shijie cup soon, are you guys making your debut now, are you going to find death when you bump into it"? Choi Jung-won gave the answer. He found that now the shijie cup has become a very haode excuse for him to promote his ideas, and the effect is also very good. Most people can't find the motivation to refute this reason. No one can fight against the tide of society, this is an objective law.
"Well, why didn't I think of that", Park Jung-ah scratched her head with a smile, admitting her ignorance.
Li Zhixian didn't speak, just nodded, it seemed that she had guessed the result. Just thinking about the two girls she found, it was really cruel to not retreat like this. They're going to hate themselves when the time comes, right?
Seeing that Li Zhixian's face was not good, Cui Zhengyuan asked with concern: "Sister Zhixian, are there any other problems to be solved?"
Since Cui Zhengyuan asked, Li Zhixian wanted to do his best, which can be regarded as a better conscience. "Executive, you see that Zhang Youzhen and Quan Enmin still have some strength, since they can't make their debut this time, can they continue to stay in the company to train and wait for the next opportunity?"
Choi Jung-won pondered for a moment and vetoed Lee Ji-hyun's proposal. "They missed this opportunity, and there was no chance of it again. Although our company is strong, we will not launch two girl groups in a short period of time. By that time, the younger generation has grown up, and they have no chances. Therefore, the long pain is better than the short pain, rather than waiting for no hope, it is better to let them out, maybe there will be opportunities in other companies"?
In desperation, Li Zhixian didn't say anything anymore. Cui Zhengyuan, who is the boss, can explain so much to her, which can be regarded as very sincere. Some things cannot be done by feelings alone, and practical interests are far more important than anything else. In terms of Li Zhixian's ability to fight righteousness, it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. The road ahead will depend on them to go on their own.
Under such circumstances, Lee Ji-hyun and Park Jung-ah said goodbye half happily and half sadly.
