Chapter 54: Competition

"These five children were originally the boy group that the company planned to launch in March, and the name of the group has been decided, Shinee," Yu Yongzhen said with a smile, "Due to your birth, Chairman Lee so-man changed his plan, postponed their debut date, and concentrated resources on running you with all his might." ”

"Lucky for you, the company will do its best to package you and concentrate all resources on promoting it for you; It was cruel to these five children, who had already been allowed to debut, but were told that they had to postpone their debut. This is the rule, this is the competition, whoever can bring profit to the company will get the allocation of resources. This is true of these five children, as are the nine children of Girls' Generation. ”

Yu Yongzhen said in a deep voice: "In April, Zhang Liyin returns, the production department is preparing for her first Chinese album, followed by the formation of SJ's third team in mid-April, SJ-M will officially debut in China, and then Shinee, which is composed of these five children, may choose to debut in mid-May or later." It's all a predetermined plan, everything is going according to plan, the company's resources are limited, and there is no spare energy to promote Girls' Generation. So, no matter how many good songs you write for them, it won't do anything at the moment. I want you to turn your attention to yourself. ”

Writing songs for Girls' Generation, Cho Won-hee fulfilled his promise to the girls and President Kim Young-min, and the company's operation process is not something he can interfere with and change, and the company cannot disrupt all the plans and processes for Girls' Generation.

Zhao Yuanxi took a deep breath, "I understand." ”

Yu Yongzhen patted Zhao Yuanxi's shoulder and said gently: "Zhang Liyin's Chinese album and SJ-M's Chinese song, I hope you join the production, which will be of great benefit to you personally and the company to grasp the pulse of the Chinese music scene." ”

Zhao Yuanxi nodded in agreement, hesitated for a while and said, "Regarding the other song "TroubleMaker", I hope to cooperate with the members of Girls' Generation. ”

There is no hope for the full return of Girls' Generation, and all Zhao Yuanxi can do is to increase the exposure of the girls as much as possible.

"There's no problem with that." Yu Yongzhen nodded in agreement, the company is only a temporary let go of Girls' Generation, not completely hidden, and properly maintaining exposure is conducive to future development.

"Let's meet these kids." Yu Yongzhen ended the conversation and clapped his hands vigorously to signal the children to stop practicing.

"Director Yu." When the five older boys saw Yu Yongzhen, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Zhao Yuanxi," Yu Yongzhen introduced very casually, "you should all know each other, right?" ”

Zhao Yuanxi from the first day of entering the S.M company with his amazing talent shocked the entire S.M company, the company from a large number of trainees to the cleaning aunt of the logistics department did not know the name of Zhao Yuanxi, to participate in the four major TV stations on the singing stage so that the majority of trainees who have never met him have an intuitive impression of him.

The five boys bowed again and saluted, calling them "seniors".

Zhao Yuanxi waved his hand and said, "It's good to call brother, you can introduce yourself." ”

The five boys glanced at each other, and the oldest boy with curly short hair was the first to introduce himself, "Hello senior, I'm Li Zhenji." ”

"Hello senior, I'm Kim Jong-hyun." The shortest boy introduced.

"Hello senior, I'm Jin Qifan." A baby-faced boy said.

The boy with a sturdy physique who was almost as tall as Zhao Yuanxi said: "Hello senior, I'm Cui Minhao. ”

The good-looking boy said, "Hello senior, I'm Lee Tae-min. ”

Zhao Yuanxi waved his hand and smiled: "Forget it when we meet for the first time, and ask my seniors to call me old next time we meet, I will turn my face." ”

Zhao Yuanxi learned these words from Li Xiaoli, and he was humorous, showing both cordiality and the demeanor of his predecessors. The five big boys suddenly laughed, and Zhao Yuanxi's words invisibly narrowed the distance between him and the five big boys.

"Train hard and strive to make your debut as soon as possible, and I look forward to working with you one day." Zhao Yuanxi clapped his hands and encouraged.

"Yes." The five boys bowed neatly.

After bidding farewell to the five big boys and Yu Yongzhen, and returning to his practice room on the fourth floor, Zhao Yuanxi began his daily compulsory course - dance training, his dancing skills are like Xu Xian's sense of humor, which also needs to be improved, and there is a long way to go. Shen Zaiyuan's teaching to him is not strict, and many times it depends on his strict self-requirements.

"In Brother Yuan, who is the most outstanding female idol in our company?" Wiping the sweat from his forehead and shoulders, Zhao Yuanxi, who finished the day's dance training class, asked.

Shen Zaiyuan and Zhao Yuanxi are about the same age, they are cheerful and optimistic, love music, and the two get along well in a few days, and Zhao Yuanxi no longer politely calls "Director Shen" but changes his name to Brother Zaiyuan.

Shen Zaiyuan said with a smile: "If you want to say that the female idol with the first dance strength is naturally BOA, BOA widely studied GirlsHiphop, Popping and other dance genres in the early days, her dance is full of power and volume, and she has the strength to be not inferior to professional dancers in Hiphop, especially LaStyleHiphop." ”

Shen Zaiyuan said this is equivalent to not saying it, it is not helpful to Zhao Yuanxi, not to mention that BOA is far away in Japan, it is impossible to fly back to cooperate with him Zhao Yuanxi, but listening to Shen Zaiyuan talk about the strength of not losing to professional dancers, Zhao Yuanxi retreated, and his own dance is not even considered to be in the room.

"And next?"

"Next up should be Stephanie, the captain and dancer of Celestial Dance, who has outstanding ballet skills, Jazz's performance can be called almost perfect, and at the same time, good physical fitness and explosiveness, Celestial Dance also has excellent performances in dances such as Girl's Hiphop and Raggae. At the same time, she is also a rare singer who sings and dances well in the field. Speaking of dance, Shen Zaiyuan is like a few treasures, and the introduction is very detailed.

It's the first time I've heard of the combination Zhao Yuanxi, but he's just listening, he's not familiar with this combination, and he didn't plan to cooperate with other combinations, his goal is very clear, that is, girls' generation.

"What about the members of Girls' Generation?" Seeing that Shen Zaiyuan didn't say anything twice, Zhao Yuanxi didn't beat around the bush, and simply said it clearly.

Shen Jae-won nodded and said, "Girls' generation's Kim Hyo-yeon and Kwon Yoo-ri's dancing strength is very good. Kim Hyo-yeon is good at Popping, Locking, Hiphop, Tita and other dance genres, WaveStyle's skills are very skillful and even far better than some male singers who dance Popping, but unfortunately the sense of dance and rhythm are slightly lacking. The explosiveness exceeds a suitable scale, resulting in a sense of disobedience when dancing the popping that he is good at, and he is not stable and restrained enough. ”

"As for Kwon Yoo-ri," Shen Jae-won thought for a while, and then said, "She is outstanding in Jazz and better than Kim Hyo-yeon, who is in charge of girls' generation dance, and has both a sense of strength and softness in her movements, and she can embody the sexy side of women through dance more than Kim Hyo-yeon, and if she can develop more comprehensively, she will definitely be recognized to a higher degree in dance." ”

"If I want to choose a dance partner, which one does Brother Yuan think is suitable, Kim Hyo-yeon or Kwon Yoo-ri?"

Shen Zaiyuan glanced at Zhao Yuanxi and said with a smile: "I think neither of them is suitable for you, your dancing skills are too poor, and dancing with them will only expose your weakness of not having solid basic skills." ”

"Although this is the truth, you don't have to say it directly to hit me like this." Zhao Yuanxi helplessly stalled his hands.

Shen Zaiyuan smiled, laughed for a while and said, "If you have to pick one, I recommend Quan Yuli." Kim Hyo-yeon's dance is too explosive, and you can't control it at all, but Kwon Yoo-ri's dance is softer, and it shouldn't be a big problem if you are the center of the choreography. ”

Jin Xiaoyuan is not a wild horse, what am I going to do with her, Zhao Yuanxi secretly scolded himself.

"I have a sample here," Zhao Yuanxi said and walked to the computer, plugged in the USB flash drive to play the sample of "TroubleMaker", "The trouble is that Brother Yuan bothered to choreograph." ”

Compared to the lyrical "BYE" recorded with Kim Taeyeon before, Yu Yongjin thought that the dance music of "TroubleMaker" was more suitable as the title song, and he rushed to work on a sample. The sample is 30 seconds long, with strong drum beats and dynamic rhythms, Shen Zaiyuan closed his eyes and listened carefully, swaying his body to the rhythm, and it seemed that he was completely immersed in the music.

Seemingly completely digesting this piece of music, Shen Jae-won opened his eyes and said, "Great music, you composed it?" ”

Zhao Yuanxi nodded.

"It's really an exciting note, very powerful and volumeive," Shen Jae-won sighed and said after a moment's silence, "You can try Freestyle with Hiphop as the framework, incorporate certain popping and Locking elements into the dance, appropriately add Breaking Freeze, and if you want to complete the perfect pas de deux, I think you need Rino Nakasone to join." ”

This is the second time Zhao Yuanxi has heard this name, the first time was when Lin Yun'er told him, he wrote it down at the time, and asked curiously: "Is it Zhongzong Gen Li's predecessor?" ”

"Do you know the Tao too?" Shen Zaiyuan said excitedly, "No, I have to contact her immediately, I hope she doesn't go abroad to participate in the performance stage." After saying that, he left the practice room in a hurry and ran down the stairs.
