"The next fifth building is our company's artist building. All the artists who have debuted are working and training in this building. Here we can see all the well-known artists such as Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji-hyun, Won Bin, Hyun Bin, Kim Jong Kook, WonderGirls, etc. Speaking of such a starry artist in his company, Cao Qitai is full of pride.

Although these people are just names, they represent great wealth.

Whoever owns them owns most of the Korean entertainment industry.

Sure enough, listening to his name like a few family treasures, the people in the delegation gasped.

Although their company is also a well-known company, it is also very strong in terms of scale and strength. But the number of artists, especially the number of top artists, can't be compared to A.P.

You must know that Cao Qitai didn't say everything, but only mentioned some of the more famous ones in China.

Like others such as Ha Ji Won, SGWannaBe, Leessang, DarK.L, Yoo Jae-seok, Kang Ho-dong, etc., no matter which one is not a well-known figure in the Korean entertainment circle.

"Your company is full of talents, and there are leaders like Executive Cui, it's really hard not to prosper." The deputy director listened to the introduction and sighed with emotion.

"The most important thing is that everyone is united and work together for the development of the company, so that we have today's situation." Cui Zhengyuan humbled a moment and did not take credit.

A.P has been able to grow to where it is today, and although he has taken a lot of credit, others should not be underestimated.

Whether it is Kim Yingmin, who has left, or Han Chenghao, Cao Qitai, Zhang Jiadu, Li Anhao, Quan Zhiying and others, they have all contributed a lot.

Today, if he inherits all the praise of this deputy director, once it comes out. But the management of A.P Company was distracted.

Cao Qitai also saw that Cui Zhengyuan didn't want to continue the topic, so he hurriedly continued to introduce it. "This sixth building is where our company's talent reserve is located, the trainee building. We select excellent seedlings from all over the country and Shijie, gather them here, and then through careful training, Zuihou selects artists who can represent the image of the Republic of Korea through the survival of the fittest. ”

"May I ask, what is the elimination rate?" Song Ke asked for the first time.

He has heard of the trainee system in the Korean entertainment industry. It's just a matter of what the hell is going on. He didn't know very well.

In his opinion, this trainee system has a very unique point, that is, it can systematically train artists.

The advantage of this is that the artist has completed the cultivation of all skills and qualities before his debut, and once he debuts, he is basically a flawless star.

Unlike many Chinese celebrities, who rashly walked into this circle, they were ignorant at the beginning, and often made some relatively low-level mistakes.

Some of them persevered and eventually survived all the way up and became a star-studded star. But there are still many people who can't withstand the turmoil in this circle. Fall into the shade.

There are even some people who are corrupted by the wine and talent of the entertainment industry, and finally fall willingly, making people not human, ghosts and ghosts.

In Song Ke's opinion. Although the trainee system cannot completely eliminate these problems. However, it can greatly exercise the strong psychological quality of artists and enhance the survival rate of artists in the entertainment industry.

In other words, the better an artist survives in the entertainment industry, the greater the value he can create for the agency.

"On average, one out of every 200 people makes their debut. Specific to our A.P company, the elimination rate is also about 85%. Cui Zhengyuan gave the answer.

It's a cruel answer, and even those who listen to it can't help but feel numb in their scalps.

Many of these trainees are in the stage of absorbing knowledge and gradually growing. For the sake of a star dream, he resolutely stepped into the ranks of trainees.

But as a result, in the face of the elimination rate that is far more cruel than the thousands of troops breaking into the single-plank bridge in the college entrance examination, no one dares to guarantee that he will be the lucky one of the percent.

"With such a horrible elimination rate, what will happen to these children in the future? They must have done their best to be able to stand out in the cutthroat competition. Doesn't it mean that they can't compare with those normal children in terms of cultural accumulation? If they fail to make their debut, what will happen to them in the future? Song Ke asked.

When he heard about the elimination rate, he understood that this kind of trainee system would not work in China.

With the current social situation in China, as long as a person is willing to work hard, he can be like a fish in water in all walks of life.

In this way, no parent will let their children enter this kind of industry with no way back.

In that case, the delay is likely to be the happiness of a person's life.

Faced with this kind of problem, Cui Zhengyuan has no choice. Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said: "This is something that can't be helped, the social status quo in South Korea determines that the competition will be so cruel." Our company is quite haode, in addition to cultivating the ability of trainees in acting, it also takes into account general cultural knowledge, as well as some aspects closely related to the entertainment industry. Even if these trainees can't make their debut in the future, they can rely on the knowledge they have learned to survive in the entertainment industry. As for other companies, it's only worse. ”

"Then weishenme doesn't let more trainees debut? Since A.P is the largest entertainment company in Asia, it is completely possible to operate more people to make their debut. Long Danni asked suspiciously.

Cui Zhengyuan led everyone to walk and explained: "This is not good, once you do this, no matter how big the company is, it will be dragged down." First of all, as I said earlier, the competition in the Korean entertainment industry is very fierce. Artists who can make their debut must have extremely high strength to ensure survival. For this reason, when we select trainees, we must select the best of the best to ensure the success rate after debut. ”

"Moreover, the debut of an artist is far from a simple launch. This also involves the configuration of relevant teams around artists, planning, operation, publicity, and reasonable allocation of resources. No matter how big our company is, it is impossible to withstand the operation of so many artists. ”

The latter point is understood by everyone who listens.

Behind an artist, there are countless people around him/her activities.

And in order to create value for artists, the agency will also use many relationships to contact them. Paving the way for its fame.

These. It's all a huge amount of money that is constantly being sprinkled out.

Choi's explanation doesn't end there. "There is also the need to consider the saturation of the market and the limits of planning. The size of the market is obvious to all. Every time a group of artists is launched, a certain market must be cultivated for them, so that the artists can survive. If there are too many artists in the small market, it will cause the phenomenon of more monks and less porridge, and none of them will survive until Zuihou. The latter means that the planning of each period will be done around the trend of the time. As a result, only one group of artists can be guaranteed to meet the requirements. No entertainment company has many sets of artists of the same type at the same time. In that case, it will only dilute the attention and ability to attract money, and the result is that there are many groups of artists who are planned, but what they get is the profit value created by a group of artists. ”

The elaboration of the three aspects made everyone in the delegation suddenly understand.

At the same time, he also has a more comprehensive and profound understanding of the unique trainee system in the Korean entertainment industry.

These are people of insight, and they immediately understood that this kind of system does not conform to China's soil.

Rashly transplanting the past will not bear fruit, not to mention, it will also cause the company's losses.

We haven't started a full-scale tour of A.P yet. These people have already gained a lot of knowledge.

Almost every CEO who came invariably instructed the secretaries, assistants and others who followed to record the speeches of Cui Zhengyuan and Cao Qitai just now, and used them as a reference for future entertainment planning.

"So what does this zuihou building do?" An old boss asked curiously.

They all understood the role of the first six buildings. It stands to reason that all parts of the entertainment function have been included, and I really can't think of any wonderful use for this zuihou building.

Cao Qitai cheered up and continued to explain: "This seventh building is the logistics building. The artist's assistant team studio, costume props, styling design, etc. are all here. Arguably. What kind of mental outlook and specific image of the artist appear in front of the public are all shaped here. And there are several small indoor shooting locations in this building, where some simple photos and MVs can be filmed. And so it goes. You can save a lot of money. As you know, there are many Koreans in a narrow area, and the venue fee can be saved. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Qitai looked at the CEOs of these entertainment companies from China around him and was full of jealousy.

Venue fees, compared with the expenses of these Chinese companies in this regard, Korean entertainment companies are full of tears.

Fortunately, Changchang had the foresight and participated in the filming of Hengdian Film and Television City through his relationship early.

As a result, A.P's expenditure in this area is much less than that of its domestic counterparts.

I heard that Li Xiuman of S.M Company has been thinking of a way, and he also wants to find a place in China to create a photography base for his company.

After the introduction of the seven buildings, the next step is the specific visit and inspection process.

This on-the-spot observation really opened the eyes of these CEOs from China.

The kind of wonderful and indispensable layout of facilities made the delegation understand what a professional entertainment company should have.

The big-name artists and behind-the-scenes employees who come and go everywhere, as well as the very professional work units, also gave them another level of understanding of how an entertainment company operates.

Those trainees who are obviously very young, but can fluently use Chinese, Japanese, English, and French to talk to them, give these people a strong sense of crisis.

is such an excellent seedling, and there is not one in a hundred. The person who can get the opportunity to make his debut should be excellent to the level of the demon above.

In the future, Chinese artists will compete with such people. Just ask, what to win?

In short, although this inspection trip confirmed many aspects that are not in line with China's reality, it also gave Chinese colleagues a sense of crisis, and for the first time began to think about the future of China's entertainment industry.

Perhaps, this is a powerful catalyst that can help turn China's entertainment industry, which has always been a stagnant pool, upside down. (To be continued......)
