Chapter 387: The Second Meeting [Monthly Pass Plus Update]
With the help of Cui Zhengyuan, the next agenda went quickly.
Everyone's enthusiasm also burst out, and a lot of good ideas were put forward one after another.
These things are gathered together, and it has become the preliminary proposal for Cai Donghe's five-person debut.
After Choi Jung-won made a decision, A.P began to mobilize resources and operate at full capacity.
A month later, preparations began to be put in place, and the second meeting on the debut of the new group was held again.
Unlike the first management meeting, this time Cai Donghe and the five people also participated.
In a month's time, they have all learned the news of their upcoming debut through various channels. Sitting in the conference room today, I was excited one by one, twisting left and right, and I couldn't completely calm down.
Cui Zhengyuan looked amused and said comfortingly: "Okay, you five be honest." If you continue like this, Director Han Chenghao will beat you. ”
Everyone looked at the five guys, and they all got up.
When the scene quieted down, Choi Jung-won said, "First of all, let's welcome Mr. Kim Kwang-so, the president of MNET TV, and Nam Ki-moon, the director of the entertainment program production department. ”
Since there is a variety show to be produced for the new group, it is necessary for someone to attend the MNET side of this meeting. Unexpectedly, Kim Kwang-so actually came in person.
This benevolent brother is really energetic, and he doesn't want to stop for a moment.
Originally, Choi Jung-won thought that his methods in entertainment planning were too clumsy, so he sent him to MNET, but he didn't expect to find an opportunity to get involved.
However, he is the president of the television station, and this is MNET's first foray into a field other than music programming, so it is impossible for him not to be concerned. It's not that you really like to meddle and meddle everywhere.
Kim Kwang-so smiled, and waited for everyone's applause to stop before saying, "Although we say that we are a TV station, it is the first time to produce an entertainment program." In this regard. A.P is the predecessor, and we are actually here to learn from it. ”
Cui Zhengyuan was in front of him, and he had to be humble. Although in terms of position, he is higher than Cui Zhengyuan. But in the entire C.J system, except for the chairman Cui Wulong and the president Pan Jingzhen, who dares to dictate to Cui Zhengyuan.
"It's all your own family, so don't be polite. Now let's talk about the names of the new combinations. Time is limited, and Choi Jung-won doesn't want to waste it on meaningless things.
Han Chenghao took over the conversation and asked, "Do you have any concept of what you have?" ”
This proposition was given at the first meeting. After a month, everyone should be somewhat prepared.
Everyone gave their expected names.
The name weishenme is called, what meaning is given, etc., are explained in detail.
Then everyone centered on the name and made repeated arguments. Obviously, after a rigorous debate, everyone's names were rejected.
Cui Zhengyuan saw Cai Donghe's five people, sitting in the position of zuihou, without saying a word. Same as the goose. He asked, "Do you five also share your opinions, this is your combination, don't you care at all?" ”
Cai Donghe and the five of them were stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other.
Speaking of the group, although it is composed of five of them. But when is it their turn to speak. According to past experience, it is not all the company's decision, and they can follow it.
Seeing the doubts of the five people, Cui Zhengyuan was relieved: "This combination is the company, the assistant team and the five of you. You are the main force in everyone's joint efforts, so we naturally need to listen to your opinions. ”
Words. The five lads burst into tears, and at the same time their sense of belonging to the group became stronger.
Yes, it's a combination of them, not just a tool for companies to make money. They are the most important part of this and deserve to contribute to a common destiny.
Young people are young people after all, and their blood is boiling fast. After listening to Cui Zhengyuan's words, the five guys gathered around and had a heated discussion.
After about ten minutes, the five people agreed on it. It was Cai Donghe, the captain, who said what they thought. "Executive, seniors, the name we chose for the group is SGWannaBe, I don't know how?"
Cui Zhengyuan was in a trance for a while, and his heart was full of mysterious feelings.
Is fate really so persistent? Obviously, there is no trajectory to follow, but the name of this combination that originally belonged to them still came out of their mouths.
There will be no deviation due to the advance of time or the change of group members.
So Cai Donghe will ...... in the future
Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, Cui Zhengyuan felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.
Although in his own hands, he will not repeat the path of his previous life, and there will be no such thing as withdrawing from the portfolio because the contract expires. But even the name of the group stubbornly appeared, who knows if Cai Donghe's fate can be changed?
Cui Zhengyuan panicked for the first time because he was afraid that he would not be able to change the tragedy.
His mood changed, no one noticed, and everyone was attracted to the novel name.
Han Chenghao asked, "Then you can explain, does this name have any meaning?" ”
Kim Yong-joon, a lively and cheerful young man, gave the answer. SG means abbreviation for Simon & Garfunkel, a male harmony group in the United States. We love their music and want to be legends like them. ”
This explanation made a lot of sense, and everyone showed expressions of approval.
It's all about music, and who doesn't know the fame of Simon & Garfunkel. Cai Donghe and the five of them regard Simon & Garfunkel as a goal to strive for, which is a good thing.
Now that SG's explanation has come out, everyone in the back of WannaBe naturally understands that it means to pursue something. Together, these five lads want to be like Simon & Garfunkel.
"What do you think?" Although his mind was a little chaotic, Cui Zhengyuan still restrained himself.
Cai Donghe's tragedy will not happen until 2011, and there are more than nine years to go, and there is time to make amends. However, their debut is the most important issue at present, and Cui Zhengyuan can also distinguish which is more important.
"Very good, I think it's a good fit for them." Jung Jae-type was the first to express his opinion.
He's the kind of musician with a real temperament who doesn't beat around the bush to express his opinions. Say whatever you want.
After him, Han Sung-ho, JEA and most others agreed.
Cui Zhengyuan himself is indispensable, and there is nothing to dwell on in this regard, so he also voted in favor.
zuihou, seventeen people in attendance, twelve in favor. In this way, according to the principle that the minority obeys the majority, the name of the new male harmony group was set as SGWannaBe.
To say that the most excited, of course, are the five Cai Donghe. I didn't expect that for the first time at such a high-level meeting, the opinions put forward would be adopted.
Numerous high-level executives did not ignore them because they were ordinary trainees. Communicating with them as an equal at all times has also boosted their self-confidence.
In the subsequent proposals, they no longer listened to the leaders' discussions with trepidation, but actively participated.
Not to mention, in the end, it is their combination, and many questions are simply beyond the understanding of others.
After they came out of their mouths, everyone broke out in a cold sweat. If you don't understand the situation and implement it according to the original established jihua, there may be a big problem.
This also reminded Cui Zhengyuan. Whatever you do, don't be too judgmental. Even if he is born again, he understands a lot of the general trends of the future. But when it comes to the subtleties, it is not just a hot head that can be understood.
On the portfolio aspect. After more than three hours of discussion, all the frames were fixed. As for the rest of the subtleties, we will need to adjust them according to the actual situation in the future rollout process.
Look at almost. Kim Kwang-so interjected. "Executive Cui, let's discuss the problems of variety shows."
This is a fresh attempt in the Korean entertainment industry, the first time to produce a variety show for a newly debuted group. None of us have any experience. Since it was a concept proposed by Cui Zhengyuan, it is most appropriate for him to explain it.
Cui Zhengyuan is also not pushy and modest, and he is an entertainment planner, of course, who does it. Time waits for no one, and in this industry, humility is the most unnecessary quality.
"First of all, we must make a clear concept, that is, this form of variety show is different from the current mainstream game variety shows such as "Xman", "Living Together" and talk variety shows such as "RadioStar" and "Happy Together". We can call it a group variety, which means a group variety show. Cui Zhengyuan first defined SGWannaBe's program, and from now on, the name of the ancestor of the group comprehensive fell on his company's men's group.
Kim Kwang-so has real skills in the end, and his brain turns very fast. "In other words, this show revolves around a few people in this group, and rarely touches on other aspects, right?"
"President Kim expected it to be good, it is such a concept."
Cui Zhengyuan continued to explain: "The purpose of this kind of program is to promote the team. Then showing the faces of the members in the show has become the core content, that is, this is actually a reality show. ”
Speaking of this, he said to Cai Donghe and the five people: "In the show, don't think about performing anything. The filming process of the show will accompany you at any time and place before and after your debut, and the content of your daily life will be displayed, so it is important to stay true to yourself. ”
Cai Donghe and the five of them hurriedly took a notebook and recorded it, ready to go back and comprehend it.
There has never been a reality show in the history of Korean entertainment. What to do, how to do it? Not only is the program team confused, but the actors are also in the clouds.
In such a situation, Cui Zhengyuan's words have become the only guide, and they are also the guidelines for the conduct of the show.
"Of course, you still have to abide by the basic rules of entertainment programs. For example, etiquette, language, industry code of conduct, etc., you should pay more attention. Because of the life-oriented program, it is very casual to do. If you don't wake up yourself, it's easy to go overboard in the show, and then you will become the target of criticism. Cui Zhengyuan emphasized.
Thinking back to the previous life, when the group first appeared, SJ and Girls' Generation were too life-like in the show, and things that were out of the ordinary happened many times. After that kind of program is broadcast, it will naturally be scolded a lot.
The only thing that can comfort Cui Zhengyuan is that the five Cai Donghe are much more stable than SJ and Girls' Generation at that time. With a little attention, those situations almost never happen.
Of course, just in case, he will later remind SG's agent to pay more attention during the filming process. Once you find something wrong, you must communicate with the program team in time and edit out the inappropriate places.
Nam Ki-moon, head of the Arts Department of MNET Television, raised a topic. According to Executive Cui, this show needs the production team to follow up and follow the shooting. However, we can't keep up with the camera conditions, and I am afraid that the difficulty of doing outdoor is not up to the requirements. ”
Cui Zhengyuan patted his head before he realized what he had neglected.
He always unconsciously weighs the situation in his previous life, but forgets that it is only 2002. The cameras are not yet able to be minimized and simplified, and each one is very bulky.
In such a situation, it is really an impossible task to require the cameraman to carry dozens of kilograms of cameras to climb up and down.
"Well, let's fix the filming location when the time comes. For example, the dormitories, practice rooms, and performance stages that they go to most often are the main venues, and you can arrange them in advance. As for other outdoor shooting, it can be simple and simple, and it should be based on the actual situation. Cui Zhengyuan can only do this.
This is an objective reality, not something that can be changed by man, and he can't be too demanding. (To be continued......)
