After using the strike incident to make enough political capital for himself, Cui Zhengyuan flew to Algeria quickly and joined the crew to shoot the most important scenes.

At this point, the acting part of the first part of "League of Legends" is over. The rest is the work of the crew.

Cui Zhengyuan finished filming, and the time was already March 2012.

However, he did not have time to rest, and hurried back to South Korea without stopping.

In 2012, an important job in front of A.P was the debut of the new boy group.

Prior to that, A.P's youngest boy group was Infinite. But even they debuted in 2008.

Today, Infinite is a four-year-old debutant.

From the perspective of the company's continued development and step-by-step planning, it was time to introduce a new boy group.

Otherwise, if other companies take advantage of the situation to plan, A.P will lose the fan base of the new generation.

From the perspective of the development of entertainment culture, if you miss out on a generation of fans, you need to make greater efforts to establish your position among fans.

Especially in today's extremely developed Korean idol culture, most of the space has been occupied by major companies.

For those small companies and groups that want to stand out, it is becoming more and more difficult to achieve results in today's environment.

In such a situation, taking advantage of the brewing period of the outbreak of the group group, Cui Zhengyuan of course wants to let his company take the lead.

When Cui Zhengyuan returned to the company, the planning team of the new boy group had already been established.

The team leader is Kim Jong Kook, the head of the music department, and the deputy team leader is the artistic director of Sinsadong Tigers.

In addition, Kwon Ji-ryong, Jung Jae-cheon, Cho Young-so, Lee Hyo-ri and others also joined the group.

It can be said that the new boy group is the current top priority of the music department. I didn't see that even Cui Zhengyuan, the executive director of every day, was involved.

"How is the selection of suitable members at the moment?" Choi asked.

Kim Jong Kook handed over the list. Happy and annoyed: "It's all here, the only problem is that there are too many people." And they are all trainees who meet the requirements, and it is a pity to choose and eliminate anyone. ”

"Isn't it, when did our company have so many powerful trainees? Fortunately, we debuted early, and if we had waited until now, it would have been dangerous. Quan Zhilong also smiled and rejoiced.

When dark.l debuted, they were all the first batch of trainees in the company. Even if there are other competitors, it is unlikely that they will pose a threat to them who are superior in their abilities.

But now it's different, A.P is already a mecca for Korean kids who aspire to be stars. No matter how strict the control, more than fifty trainees enter the company every year.

In recent years, the speed of the company's launch of new talent combinations has slowed down. There have been many people who have reached an age and have lost sight of hope, and have embarked on the path of artists in other companies.

For example, Lee Chan-hee of Teentop, Park Hyun-cheol and Woo Hyun-min of Big Country Boys, Captain Yang Wenhao of Beast and lead singer Kang Seung-ki.

Generally speaking, there are at least 30 male trainees in A.P Company who meet the debut requirements.

Even if Cui Zhengyuan's plan for the rookie boy group is a super-large idol group of twelve people, it is impossible to accommodate so many people.

Only twelve of the more than thirty people were selected, and the rest were all eliminated.

And this is also the most difficult part of the planning team, after all, these more than 30 people have been carefully selected. Finally got into their eyes.

It's too hard to choose the better one among them.

Don't talk about them, Cui Zhengyuan looked at the long list of thirty people, and he was also dizzy.

Look at it through the eyes of someone he's been over. Among the more than 30 people above, at least three-quarters of them are demons who have proven their abilities in their previous lives.

Just like Kim Jong Kook said, it's a pity to eliminate anyone.

However, the plan for the men's group of twelve people has already been formulated. If it's bigger. It's just about the same as AKB48.

The problem is that AfterSchool has proven that the graduation system is not suitable in the Korean entertainment industry.

What to do?

After the day's meeting. Cui Zhengyuan, who returned to the office, was still thinking about it.

It is really not an easy task to not only want to launch the combination smoothly, but also want to preserve these excellent seedlings as much as possible.

No matter how large an entertainment company is, after all, the resources are there, and it is impossible to cover everything.

The general norm is that after the combination selection is eliminated, the trainees say goodbye to the company completely and then find their own way out.

Some of them can change companies and start over, while many more are completely abandoning the industry and returning to the life of ordinary people.

Those who can still get ahead after being eliminated and change companies, there are actually a lot of them. For example, IU, Hyomin, So-yeon, Jang Hyun-sung and so on in the previous life.

But whether he gets ahead after being eliminated or not, what does he have to do with Cui Zhengyuan and A.P Company.

What Cui Zhengyuan wants most now is to keep all these more than 30 good seedlings.

But the problem is that if there is no proper method, those trainees who are eliminated by the debut selection will leave 100%.

Because there is no hope here, and youth cannot be delayed, it will definitely fend for itself.

No one can believe that if a new group is launched in a few years, there will be its own place.

In particular, the competition in A.P is particularly fierce, and no one knows how powerful the trainees will be in the future.

What to do?

kept thinking that the sky was going to be dark and hungry, Cui Zhengyuan didn't have any clue.

But the world is big, and the belly is the biggest. Seeing that it was time to get off work, Cui Zhengyan didn't want to be alone in the office, ready to pack up and go home.

Just as he was about to turn off the computer, his eyes were drawn to the content.

As the CEO of an entertainment company, Cui Zhengyuan's most frequent content is definitely the dynamics in the entertainment industry. So when it's okay, his computer page basically stays in the entertainment news section of Naver.

At this time, among the many news items above, one of them caught his attention.

The above content is that YG's top boy group BIGBANG has completed their comeback a few days ago, and their title song has completed the breaking of the online music source website at the moment of its release.

Choi Jung-won doesn't care what kind of results BIGBANG has achieved. The singers under A.P have done more sensational results than this.

What caught his attention was the word YG.

YG is an entertainment company, although it is not the largest in Korea, but because of its maverick music style, it can still stand out in the Korean entertainment industry.

Among them, their boss Yang Xianshuo can be said to be the most important leader of YG company.

It was the name YG that reminded Choi Jung-won of Yang Hyun-suk.

Soon, Cui Zhengyuan's originally stagnant expression suddenly turned into ecstasy. Then he patted his head and spun back and forth in circles.

"Ah, I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of it?"

"It's stupid to have such a good way in front of you, but you have to think about it yourself."

When it comes to Yang Hyun-suk, there are many things worth saying. Whether it was the activities of Seo Tae-ji and his children, the founding of YG, or the launch of BIGBANG, which is an iconic symbol in the history of K-pop music, all of these are dazzling achievements.

But here in Cui Zhengyuan, the reason why he can admire Yang Xianshuo is the other party's amazing planning and hype ability.

Condensed into specific matters, of course, it is a high-profile trainee talent show.

Through this program, YG Company changed the traditional way of selecting trainees in the past, and deeply influenced many entertainment companies in the future.

For example, after that, JYP and MBK all turned to talent shows like Guò to launch new girl groups.

The advantage of such a talent show is that it combines the selection of debut candidates with the process of becoming famous. When the rookie group is formed, it already has a good fan base.

In this way, it is equivalent to saving a lot of publicity costs and realizing the profitability of the idol group earlier.

And because they have become famous, the newcomer group does not need to keep running the itinerary to promote itself like the traditional group, and the fatigue is also reduced a lot.

It can be said that although only a brand new program has been created, the change to the trainee selection system is unprecedented.

At present, A.P is faced with the dilemma of choosing only 12 out of more than 30 people, and it is possible to use such an open selection method.

It not only shows the excellence of the trainees to the outside world in advance and plays a role in publicity, but also makes a profit through such a program as Guò and promotes the brand of A.P Company.

The most important thing is that while the show is being selected, it can also bring fans in and let them participate in the victory or defeat.

In this way, idols and fans are invisibly integrated and become closer.

Not only that, even the trainees who were eliminated in the show, as long as they showed enough brilliance, it was equivalent to gaining a large number of fans.

Those who are supported by fans fail and are eliminated, and they will definitely be sad and sad together, and feel aggrieved at the same time.

With such a fan base, these failed trainees can form another group and make their debut soon after.

Just thinking about the fact that two groups with a large number of fans and followers can be launched in a row and can be exchanged for profits immediately, Choi Jung-won is annoyed that he didn't think of such a method. (To be continued......) R1292
