Chapter 55: Self-Recommendation
Asked the assistant to extract a Hyundai business vehicle, Choi Jung-won and PSY rushed to meet Lee Hao-woo.
The car drove out of the main entrance of the company, and PSY, who was sitting on the right, said "Huh" and greeted Cui Zhengyuan: "Zhengyuan, look over there, is there something wrong"?
Cui Zhengyuan looked at it when he heard this, and saw the company's doorman and two teenagers entangled at the side door, and some pedestrians around him stopped to watch. However, it can be seen that the doorman's movements are very restrained, just stopped in front of the two teenagers, and his mouth kept saying something. The two teenagers seemed to be excited, but there was no excesses, they were just distinguishing something from the doorman.
In any case, it is an undesirable effect for this kind of thing to happen at the gate of the company. He saw that he must be in charge, and when he thought of this, he opened the car door and walked down. The accompanying assistant is a very discerning young man who already knows what the executive has to do. Ran over there first and asked the doorman about the situation.
PSY followed the car unhurriedly, he was just an artist in the company, and it was not his turn to intervene in dealing with this kind of thing. At most, it's just to watch the excitement and help when you need help.
At a distance of more than ten meters, when Cui Zhengyuan walked over, the assistant had already understood everything clearly. "That's right, Executive. These two students want to join our company as trainees, but at present, the company does not select Jihua as trainees in China. The doorman had explained to them in detail just now, but these two classmates had made a lot of determination to come from afar and didn't want to give up easily, so they entangled with the doorman. Our staff has always been polite and has not taken drastic measures."
Cui Zhengyuan nodded and walked slowly in front of the two boys. When the assistant came over just now, they already knew that the young man in front of them, who was not much older than them, was actually one of the bosses of this company. The emotions that were still very excited just now gradually cooled down, and all that remained was to cringe in the face of high-level figures.
These two students love singing and dancing very much, and their talent and strength are also outstanding, and they are already the top masters of their school's dance club at a young age. Deeply influenced by HOT, they have always dreamed of becoming an idol singer. Originally, they were eager to join S.M, to be able to go to the same door as HOT.
However, recently, they have been deeply concerned about entertainment news, and they have been bombarded with news from A.P. Company. For this newly established super-large entertainment company, the two of them were very curious and collected information from various aspects to understand. Not to mention, they really dug up a lot of insider information. Among them, the most influential thing for them is the contract signed by A.P Entertainment and its artists, and the lucrative conditions make people blush.
With HOT as their idols, they know very well how harsh the treaty of S.M, the largest agency in Korea, is. It's tempting to be a fellow student with HOT, but it's chilling to think about how to endure such exploitation even if you can make your debut after passing through a brutal competition. Human beings are realistic creatures, and even when they are young, they know to think about their own vital interests.
It stands to reason that ordinary students like them would not be able to get the inside story of A.P's contract. It's just that there is no impermeable wall on Shijie, and the outside public has not received relevant news, but the media does not report it. All the details of the contract have long been placed on the desks of various news media, and every article and paragraph are accurate.
One of the two students had an uncle who worked for a newspaper. During the family party on New Year's Day, his uncle was drunk and accidentally slipped his mouth, which happened to be heard by him. How could a teenager who was aspiring to this let go of such a major news and immediately shared the information with his friend and friend.
As soon as the two of them discussed, since in addition to S.M, there is such a large company that can be compared, which is equivalent to one more path to choose. So taking advantage of the winter vacation, the two of them ran all the way from their hometown to Seoul full of hope.
I have to say that these two boys were a little stunned, just remembering that the A.P company was well treated, but they didn't know that this company currently did not select trainees Jihua, so they ran straight away. Fortunately, the quality of the doormen of A.P company is better, otherwise they may be disgraced.
"Hello two students, I am Cui Zhengyuan, the executive director of A.P Company, and it is a pleasure to meet you." Looking at these two reckless teenagers, the corners of Cui Zhengyuan's mouth couldn't help but outline a smile. It's really a teenager and fearless, and any reasonable adult would never be able to do such a thoughtless thing.
However, after carefully seeing the appearance of the two, Cui Zhengyuan was stunned. The slightly taller boy on the left was fine, although he was a little kind and handsome, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while. The other one, which is slightly shorter, is much more recognizable. Looking at the emaciated figure, the big eyes showed a little nervousness, and the lips pursed because they didn't know what to do, they looked like a silverfish.
"Isn't this SJ's Eunhyuk"? Thinking so, Cui Zhengyuan also recognized the young man next to him, "This is TVXQ's Fine Asia Junxiu." Although I knew that the two were classmates and friends, I didn't expect that they were really inseparable. A powerful singer, a dance machine, and two celestial-level idols who have proven to be able to achieve great success appeared in front of him so suddenly. Rao is Cui Zhengyuan is firm-hearted, and he can't help but be a little excited.
"Hello, Greetings. I'm sorry, but we didn't mean to bother." Kim Jun-so just forgot the purpose of his coming in a nervous manner.
Eunhyuk was very calm and explained his intentions in a clear manner. "Hello, Executive Cui. We are Lee Hyuk-jae and Kim Jun-so from Goyang, Gyeonggi-do. We love acting so much and aspire to be singers like HOT and Crystal Boys, and hopefully we can give us a chance."
Choi Jung-won rubbed his nose in wonder, is he very close to Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province? Now there are two trainees from there in the company, Li Juli and Quan Yuli, and now two more have popped up. These four people are all the kind with outstanding strength, could it be that the feng shui in Gaoyang City is good, so it has bred such excellent talents? It seems that I will have to go there more times in the future, and maybe I can find some talents.
Thinking crookedly, Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly returned to his thoughts. "Well, it can be seen that you are very sincere, but our company does not currently recruit trainees." He also wanted to see what the will of these two people was, whether they were the kind of people who could stand the test for a long time. Eunhyuk is okay and debuts as a member of SJ. lasted eight years, never gave up with the group, grew up together, and Cui Zhengyuan had a good impression of him.
The main thing is Kim Jun-so, although his singing skills are good. It's just that in later generations, for the sake of profit, he and Park Youtian and Kim Jae-jung forcibly split TVXQ. Although there was S.M's harsh treatment in front of it, this betrayal of his teammates was still difficult for Choi Jung-won to accept. In addition, the company's earliest boy group, Jihua, will not be realized until around 2005, and various situations will occur during the boring trainee life for four years. He didn't want the talents he had worked so hard to train to be tempted by other companies to make their debuts.
Kim Jun-so has been observing Choi Jung-won's expression and found that his words are not dead. This gave him a glimmer of hope, and he hurriedly said: "General manager, please give us a chance, we really like to perform." If you don't miss a bit, please guide us through the performance." As he spoke, he pulled Eunhyuk, who was still depressed. After the two muttered a few words, they danced street dance on the street without accompaniment.
Cui Zhengyuan was noncommittal, and just watched them jump all the time. Although there is no accompaniment, the rhythm of the two is very good. Eunhyuk, in particular, is worthy of being the lead dancer of SJ, and every movement is very standard. Once the dance is initiated, the previously timid expression disappears and is replaced by a strong self-confidence. The thin body erupted with a powerful liliang, a magic that made everyone who watched dance along. Driven by him, Kim Jun-so, who was originally a little flustered, also stabilized, although his movements were not as brilliant as Eun-hyuk's, but he would not make mistakes at a glance. It seems that he can debut before Eun Hyuk, or rely on his singing skills and appearance advantages.
PSY leaned into Cui Zhengyuan's ear and persuaded in a low voice: "The two children are good, take it."
With such a haode future star sent to him, Cui Zhengyuan has no reason not to accept it. It's just that he can't decide for himself, although he has the right to do so. Running a group, especially when it comes to matters related to the fate of others, must sit as fair as possible. In this way, the group can have long-term vitality, so that everyone in the group can consciously safeguard the interests of the collective, instead of using the collective as a tool to seize personal interests.
"Alright, you guys stop." Choi Jung-won stops Eun-hyuk and Jun-so's hot dance.
In order to show themselves as much as possible in front of this general practice, the two can be said to have tried their best. Although it was only five minutes, it also made them tired and sweaty, and they couldn't stop panting. However, they had long forgotten to wipe their sweat and looked at Cui Zhengyuan with apprehension. They knew that what the executive was about to say would determine their fate.
"I took a general look, and it can be said that your strength is good", seeing the two of them smile, Cui Zhengyuan decided not to let them know the result in advance. What is too easy to get is usually not cherished too much.
"But whether you can become a trainee of A.P Company, I can't give you an answer right now. Although I am a general manager, I need to respect the opinions of professionals. In this way, I have something to do today, so why don't you stay in Seoul for a day, and tomorrow I will gather the company's dance teachers, vocal music teachers, body teachers and other professionals in various subjects to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of you. If you qualify, you can stay."
Although Cui Zhengyuan's words still gave them hope, the two still had something unspeakable. Eunhyuk and Junxiu's family are not in a very good situation, and the money they came to Seoul this time is still saved by the two of them from their pocket money on weekdays. According to their calculations, this amount of money is only enough for the round-trip fare, not even the food money, and they can't stay in Seoul for a night.
On the one hand, I was happy to get the opportunity to enter A.P, but on the other hand, I was sad because I didn't have money, and I reflected that the faces of the two people were tangled. Fortunately, Cui Zhengyuan is shrewd enough, and he can see the distress of the two at a glance. After thinking for a moment and motioning for the two to stay, he made a phone call.
In less than five minutes, I saw Quan Zhilong running out of the company quickly, and came to Cui Zhengyuan's side in a hurry, and he didn't even bother to wipe the sweat on his face. "Brother, what are you looking for me?"
Cui Zhengyuan gently slapped him on the back of the head, and took out a handkerchief to help him wipe his sweat. "What are you doing in such a hurry, sweating profusely, and I'm not afraid of catching a cold."
"Hey, hey, hey", Quan Zhilong enjoyed the pampering of his standing brother very much, "It's not that you are called by the old man, how dare the little one not serve his life with death."
"Shaopi, I have something to do with you." Choi Jung-won introduced Eun-hyuk and Kim Jun-so to Kwon Ji-ryong, "These two classmates want to join our company as trainees, and an exam will be arranged for them tomorrow." But let them live in your dormitory today, anyway, it's just you, the place is big enough. You can take care of them and settle them down."
Looking at the two boys in front of him who were a little older than himself, Quan Zhilong was very happy and hurriedly agreed. There are not many trainees of the same age as him in the company, and many times he practices alone, and when he returns to the dormitory, he is also alone. He couldn't get into the girls' dormitory of Kwon Yoo-ri and them, and he was very unhappy that he didn't have friends to play with. Finally someone was going to live with him, and of course he was happy. "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely complete the task."
"Well, use more snacks. You don't have to go to the training in the evening, accompany them more and take them to visit our company."
Quan Zhilong turned around and greeted his new companion, "Let's go, I'll take you to dinner first, and then go back to the dormitory to set it up, and then take you to visit the company."
Eunhyuk and Kim Jun-so hurriedly saluted, "I'm troublesome senior." For them, although Quan Zhilong is young, he is an out-and-out senior.
Kim Jun-so and Eun-hyuk thanked Choi Jung-won again: "Thank you for taking care of us so much, we will definitely work hard and not let you down." They are not fools, Cui Zhengyuan arranged it like this, and he obviously likes them. It's just that because of the company's regulations, they are not directly accepted. Suffice it to say, as long as they don't perform badly tomorrow, they'll be almost 100 percent in A.P.
"It is also an honor for you to come to us for an interview, and I hope you have a good result tomorrow. It's getting late, so let's get in. We'll see you tomorrow in the exam room." For these two babies, Cui Zhengyuan did not hesitate to encourage.
After explaining clearly, Cui Zhengyuan and PSY continued to look for Li Haoyu. After such a long delay, he must have been in a hurry.
Sitting in the car, the corners of Cui Zhengyuan's mouth hooked a satisfied smile. Kwon Ji-ryong, Eun-hyuk, Kim Jun-so, there are three candidates for the future No. 1 boy group, which is a big progress. PSY has been friends with him for many years, knows his habits well, and said with a smile: "Zhengyuan, have you made a bargain?" I think these two boys are very good, and they will definitely have a future in the future."
After rectifying his expression, Cui Zhengyuan said: "It's true that you have talent, it's hard to say whether you can practice it now, and everything will have to be seen when the time comes."
No matter how excited you are, you must keep calm on your face, this is Cui Zhengyuan's consistent style. PSY already knew, just laughed it off and let him continue to pretend.
After Choi Jung-won left, Eun-hyuk and Kim Jun-so patted their chests in unison and breathed a sigh of relief. Whoever faces the big boss will be under a lot of pressure.
Looking at the appearance of the two, Quan Zhilong, who came over, fully understood. "Alright, let's go inside. The cafeteria is already open, and if you go late, the haode will be robbed." The only thing that can make Quan Zhilong nervous is when the cafeteria is open, and everything has to be put back at this time.
The food treatment of A.P company is very good, and the taste is also very good. The price is also much lower than the market price, which makes him happy to eat every time. The unpleasant thing is that every time you eat, you have to wait in line for a long time. No way, there are too many people. The cafeteria is so delicious that not only the trainees, but also the staff, and even Choi Jung-won and Kim Young-min sometimes solve the problem of eating there.
In a completely unfamiliar environment, Eun Hyuk and Kim Jun so can only listen to Kwon Ji Ryong's advice. On the way to the cafeteria, Quan Zhilong explained the distribution in the company to the two of them one by one. As a member of such a large company, there is a sense of superiority in my heart.
As for Eun Hyuk and Kim Jun so, they can only sigh. Not to mention, it took fifteen minutes to walk from the gate to Building No. 1, where the cafeteria is located. The area of this company is even more exaggerated than some ordinary universities.
Eating a delicious meal, Eun-hyuk and Kim Jun-so secretly made up their minds that no matter what, they must stay here.
Choi Jung-won remembered the matter of Eun-hyuk and Kim Jun-so in his heart, and his thoughts on the party were more or less affected. PSY and Lee Ho-woo saw that he was absent-minded, and when they finished drinking, they drove him away. When you come to a place like a nightclub, two perverted men will definitely go to find a woman, but it's not okay to take Cui Zhengyuan, an underage child. It doesn't matter if they drink alcohol, if they dare to take Cui Zhengyuan to find a woman, they will definitely be skinned and torn by the old man of the Cui family.
Cui Zhengyuan has long understood the virtue of losing friends. There will definitely be some inappropriate pictures for children in the future, and he doesn't want to mix them in. As for PSY's debut as an artist, it doesn't matter, he was not an idol singer in the first place.
A powerful singer is a dissolute type, and it is normal for him to appear in a place like a nightclub. Even if someone breaks the news, I believe the public will not be surprised. As long as he doesn't make too much trouble, he won't cause a storm of unevenness.
