Chapter 72: Discovery
After getting Lu Hongzhe done, Cui Zhengyuan strolled back to his office.
Today will be another boring day, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will only have to face an endless number of official documents. Walking on the road, breathing in the cold air of the northern hemisphere winter, a trace of laziness in zuihou was dispelled.
From time to time, young trainees, accompanied by two or two, or in groups of three or five, ran quickly past him. Seeing him, they all hurriedly saluted, and then hurriedly ran in the direction of the practice room. Calculating the time, the teacher has almost arrived. They don't dare to be late, or they won't have any good fruit to eat.
Looking at this group of energetic and hard-working children, Cui Zhengyuan thought about it, changed his original route, and walked towards the practice building. It turned out that he suddenly remembered that he hadn't practiced dancing for a long time. No longer immovable
Words, the body is going to be rusty. Although his physical fitness is perverted, no matter what type of dance, he can show a super high level. But if you don't practice for a long time, I'm afraid your muscles will lose their memory.
Kim Jong Kook's singing has entered a period of stability, and there is a special person in charge of all steps.
PSY and Leessang are both original singers, and they can complete the songwriting to recording to the disc filling independently, and the production team led by Han Sung-ho is idle. Director Han Dae has already informed Choi Jung-won that after he straightens out the chores of the music production department, he will start working on "The Cup of Life".
Cui Zhengyuan's single, no matter which producer understands its gold content. It can be said that from the perspective of the company's development alone, Cui Zhengyuan is the highlight of A.P this year. Don't look at Kim Jong Kook's album at the beginning of the year, it killed countless singers of all sizes in the Korean market, and he looked invincible in the world. But compared with Choi Jung-won's single, it's like a firefly competing with the sun and the moon.
In the final analysis, no matter how good Kim Jong Kook's album is, it can only dominate in South Korea, and at most it can radiate to the three East Asian countries. At this time, the influence of Hallyu in Southeast Asia was very limited. But as long as Cui Zhengyuan's single is launched, it will definitely set off a storm in the whole shijie. If the operation is good, A.P Company can take this opportunity to go to the shijie stage.
South Korea's market is too small and its spending power is limited. The activities of a group of artists working hard can obtain benefits that are not only slightly inferior to those of developed entertainment regions such as the United States and Japan, but also compared with the fledgling Chinese entertainment industry.
In China, any second- or third-tier star earns much more than a first-tier star in South Korea every year. Otherwise, HOT and mythology would not be happy in China. Because S.M forcibly canceled their activities in China, they also fell out with the company.
It is also because South Korea's status in the international community is not enough, which leads to the extreme inferiority of this nation. So Koreans are eager to go out and prove their worth on shijie. As long as a South Korean gains some international popularity, he will be treated as a national hero by the country.
Extending to the entertainment industry, it's the same. Whoever can become a shijie-level star is a well-deserved overlord of the Korean entertainment industry. It's not just fame, it's the fanatical populace that will propel you to the top.
It's just that there is a big difference between Eastern culture and the European and American cultures that occupy the mainstream of shijie, and Oriental people often don't get the opportunity to prove themselves on shijie. How many people with dreams have been overshadowed by the discrimination of the white race, and finally returned in embarrassment.
"The Cup of Life" gave hope to the whole A.P company. Pure Latin tunes, typical European and American styles, coupled with Cui Zhengyuan's perfect interpretation, have made the possibility of successfully landing in the European and American markets unlimitedly amplified. Especially Kim Young-min and Han Sung-ho, who are like fanatical religious believers, constantly bewitching Choi Jung-won to make a single as soon as possible.
Kim Young-min is from the perspective of a businessman, once Choi Jung-won successfully lands in Europe and the United States and becomes a top superstar of shijie, he will definitely maximize the brand effect of A.P company. All of this means a steady stream of money, and with these benefits, A.P will snowball and eventually become an entertainment trust in South Korea, completely throwing off other companies or even swallowing them up.
Han Sung-ho has been one of Korea's top music producers for many years, and it can be said that there is basically no motivation to challenge in this small market. I want to enter Europe and the United States, but I have always proved my strength on shijie
There is no chance of suffering. Now that Choi Jung-won has opened this Pandora's box, he is like a devil who has been seduced into his heart, and he has only one thought in his heart, to become the only Shijie-level music producer in South Korea. No one can refuse eternity
Once the glory of the annals of history is realized, it will be a great cause of glorifying the ancestors.
It can be said that Cui Zhengyuan's every move now has involved the interests of many people. Jihua, who was originally a simple record release, has been interpreted with a new meaning. For himself being tied to someone else's chariot of interests, Cui Zheng
The source is not much of an offensive. He is a businessman himself and has a clear understanding of the combination of interests. Anyway, the objects of beneficiaries are within A.P., and various interests converge to zuihou, and the ultimate beneficiary is himself.
Why not.
However, since you are burdened with so many interests, you must go all out to do a good job in order to achieve the maximum value. What he needs to do most now is to adjust his state to the best and perfectly interpret the style of "Cup of Life". The starting point, of course, is the two aspects of singing and dancing.
He has never fallen behind in his singing skills, he gets up early every day, opens his voice and hangs his voice, never delays, and can sing "The Cup of Life" perfectly anytime and anywhere.
But dance doesn't work, although "The Cup of Life" doesn't require any dance moves. But since he has entered the European and American markets, Cui Zhengyuan doesn't want to be a "one-song singer", and relies on this song for the rest of his life.
Whether he was an art director in China in his previous life or a standing executive in South Korea now, he has always had a dream in his heart, which is to let Shijie know and identify with the pop culture of the East. Why can you only let everyone look up to European and American singers, Eastern singers are naturally inferior.
I admit that your European and American pop mechanisms are more advanced than ours, and with a strong technological and media environment, you can easily make stars. But it doesn't mean that your singer's strength is really stronger than ours, to put it bluntly, the song still depends on people to sing, and the ultimate factor that determines the classicism of a work is people rather than technology.
Orientals sing English songs and compete with Westerners, and they are inherently at a disadvantage. Pure oriental songs are not recognized by the arrogant Caucasians, and the two sides can be said to be not competing on the same level, and there is no fairness at all.
For this reason, it took decades and generations of tireless efforts by Koreans to achieve some results. From Xu Taizhi and the children, turbo to HOT, Crystal Boy, from mythology, GOD to TVXQ,
SS501, from Super
junior, BigBang to Girls' Generation, PSY. These stars who came down from the assembly line, with their outstanding strength, began to exert a huge influence in Shijie all over Shijie, and K-pop finally stopped
It's the Koreans who entertain themselves. There are countless people everywhere in Shijie who writhe their unskilled bodies to electronic dance music, subtly embracing oriental culture.
Cui Zhengyuan believes that with his own birth, this situation will come earlier than the original history, and the result will definitely be better than the previous life. However, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, and you must also be hard when you strike iron. Strengthening one's own quality is the top priority, otherwise it will only make those Caucasian people see jokes out of thin air. So, let's start with dancing today.
Walking into the practice building and passing through the two-story isolation glass door, the warm air rushed in front of him, making Cui Zhengyuan's body that had been in the cold wind for more than ten minutes moan comfortably. No way, the winter in Seoul is too cold
If you don't do enough heating, the trainees can't help but be able to complete the training, and even get sick because of too much exercise and excessive sweating. No matter which brokerage company is stingy on this, it will not be stingy.
In order not to let the life of these trainees become too superior and inert, there is no elevator in the practice building. In other words, to go from the first floor to the seventh floor, you can only climb the stairs one by one. Even if you Cui Zhengyuan is the big boss of the company, as long as you are not a god or a superman, you can only start the 11-way car and go slowly.
However, Cui Zhengyuan did not go up to the seventh floor in one breath, but walked through each floor. Through the small glass window, check the training situation of the trainees in each department. Looking at those large and small figures, sweating wantonly, our general manager is deeply grateful.
Cui Zhengyuan didn't notice that just as he was inspecting the situation, a small figure came out of the bathroom. It was the time of class, and the hallway was very quiet, so the kid saw him at once.
This child is Park Sun-young, who later became the lead singer of T-ara, Park Hyo-min. The little guy was supposed to go back to his hometown of Busan to continue his studies after becoming a model for "Princess Mimi". Unfortunately, he was discovered by Cui Zhengyuan and intercepted directly.
Her voice is very distinctive, and if it weren't for the short practice career in her previous life, she would definitely be even better. In this life, Cui Zhengyuan, who has learned experience, specially instructed the teacher of the trainee department to strengthen her singing skills. I believe that after about seven years of practice life in this life, her strength will not be worse than others, and even better.
Today, she was practicing her pronunciation alone in the vocal room, and suddenly she was in a hurry and came out to go to the bathroom. Unexpectedly, when I came out of the bathroom, I saw the usual rare standing Oba patrolling. However, what made her curious was that after the standing brother finished inspecting this floor, he did not go down the stairs, but walked towards Xiangshang.
You must know that in order to ensure that vocal training is not disturbed, the company has arranged a vocal music classroom on the sixth floor. For this reason, even the acting training room has made way. Further up, there are only the advanced practice room and the special practice room.
At present, among the trainees of A.P Company, only Lee Ji-hyun and five people are using a high-level practice room, and the other rooms are empty. Coincidentally, Hyomin knew that none of the sisters were in the practice room today. There are too many activities at the end of the year, each
The backup dance troupe is too busy. As a last resort, many singers have seconded some trainees from their agencies to dance with them. The five of Lee Ji-hyun are all adults and their strength is not bad, so they were borrowed by Kim Jong Kook today.
I believe that the standing Oba must also know about this situation. But since there is no one on the seventh floor, what is he going up to do? Thinking of this, the little "waist" spirit couldn't help but be curious, and quietly followed up.
Cui Zhengyuan also didn't expect that in his own company, he would be "followed". Besides, he is just a little higher in "force value", and he is not a real martial arts master, and he doesn't have that ability to perceive things that can be perceived by flying flowers and falling leaves within a few meters.
Choi Jung-won, who walked to the practice room, first entered the internal lounge.
