647 Do You Want to Help or Hurt People?
"No, why do people on the peninsula come up with names like this? Do you have any custom of what name you have to be born on? β
When the girl named Park Jisoo finished her interview and left the dance studio, the room was quiet for a while.
None of the people in the room seemed to know what to say.
Just looking at each other.
The girl's performance just now...... How to say it.
Then, William Wang spoke.
Spit out.
"Name...... Oh, Jisoo. Zheng Duohui knew very well that she had to come to support this at this time, after all, she was the only woman in this room.
She laughed as she looked at the names on the profile that no one had noticed before.
The others next to him laughed too.
"Suzy, Jisoo, Ji-eun, Ji-yeon...... I've been dizzy before, okay, another Jisoo. William Wang sighed softly.
"That being said, this girl isn't as pretty as Jisoo." Zheng Duohui is still more protective of her children.
"If this kid debuts in the future, he will definitely use a stage name, and I'll talk about this later." Kim Hyung-seok has little interest in pulling this skin with William Wang, and he is still struggling with the song he wants to get his hands on: "The problem is...... How did this kid get into JYP's debut plan? She's in this state...... Can you make your debut? β
"Indeed, I feel that she lacks the confidence to sing and her dancing moves are not in place...... "The dance director nodded beside him, "I've been a trainee at JYP for five years?" Impossible, right? Hasn't this been opened yet? Is she Park Jin-young's sister-in-law or sister-in-law? β
"What do you think...... Is it possible that she has gained weight recently? Li Zhina suddenly interjected.
"Why did you suddenly get fat...... Oh. Kim Hyung-seok was silent.
Why do you suddenly get fat?
I failed to make my debut, and I gave up on myself!
"This girl is the scheduled captain of JYP's debut plan this time." Min Changho continued to introduce a little embarrassed next to him, "Although she is not the oldest, she is the one who has been practicing the longest. β
"That's better understood." William Wang also nodded. "Let's talk about the rest, kid...... Did it work? β
"She's supposed to be the main vocal." Kim Hyung-seok answered, "The vocal teacher is not here, and I am not sure about ......"
"Yes." Min Changho answered, "That's what the information says. β
"Well, that's useful. We need a treble now, otherwise the treble won't go up. Kim Hyung-seok nodded.
"IU's role." William Wang answered with a smile.
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed.
IU was also recruited before his debut......
"Weight loss is a problem, and mindset adjustment is also a problem." Li Zhina spoke there.
"And even if she debuts, she won't be the leader of this girl group." William Wang added a sentence next to him.
Compared with Lin Nalian, William Wang didn't think that the girl he had just interviewed had too much of the temperament of the head of the regiment. Maybe she was chosen as the head of the group at JYP because of her years of practice or something, but it's entertaining at illiam......
"This ...... I'll do my best to communicate with her. Min Changho nodded.
He knew it was his job.
"If you can't figure it out, find a boss." Li Zhi dug a pit for William Wang with a smile, "Coaxing a little girl or something, none of us in this room are good at it." β
"Why am I coaxing...... Forget it, let's go next. William Wang felt that this topic was not suitable for development.
If you talk too much, sooner or later you will get up and transfer Kim Taeyeon......
The second person to be brought into the room by Min Chang-ho was Lin Na-lian.
Compared to Park Jisoo, who came in before her, she is in a much better state, smiling and confident throughout the whole process.
Whether it's singing or dancing, it's very stable.
"So, this is the girl you decided you were going to dig up the wall to, boss?"
After Lin Nalian gave Wang William a "OPPA handed over to you" look and was taken out by Min Chang-ho, Kim Hyung-seok took the lead in smiling.
"Hmm." There is no need for William Wang to deny it.
Although in fact, when he first told Min Chang-ho that he could go to JYP to use his brains, he had already forgotten about this girl......
"It's really a general." Kim Hyung-seok said, "Except that he's a little older, there's nothing wrong with anything else." β
"'95 is okay...... Oh yes. Li Zhina flipped through the information.
He forgot that both Jisoo and Kei were 95 years old......
"It's not too much of a problem, it's settled." Li Zhina is ready to make a decision.
"Hmm." Kim Hyung-seok nodded, "You can train as a captain." β
"Originally, she was also the oldest, and there was no question of the length of practice years in our place, so it should be her." Li Zhina answered.
"The problem of the company's current children's ideological work ......" Zheng Duohui is still concerned about this.
"Leave it to me...... Well, if it doesn't work, I'll ask the boss for help. Min Chang-ho answered there.
ββ¦β¦ It's all my problem...... Okay, okay! I know. William Wang said to himself.
Why is it all his problem? Who made him troublesome to mention JYP!
The third interviewer was an island girl named Momo Hirai.
"I finally saw a JYP trainee, and it turned out to be an island countryman."
As she left, the dance director sighed and said.
And Kim Hyung-seok, who was next to him, also nodded with emotion.
It's no wonder that the two of them from JYP have such an exclamation, even William Wang, who can't dance, can see it.
This girl's strength is the same as Park Jin-young's, which is dancing.
And the way she danced made William Wang sound Jin Hyunya. Even, there is a "JYP style" more than Kim Hyun-ah dancing.
"Dance responsible, no problem." The dance director continued, "It's better than a few kids in the company. β
"Actually, Jieqiong danced well." Min Chang-ho, who was next to him, seemed to disagree a little, "It's just that the dance is not in this style." β
"Seriously speaking, the current children of our company do not have too short board in all aspects." Zheng Duohui also seems to want to save his children's dignity, "but there is nothing particularly prominent, in contrast, JYP seems to pay more attention to the development of specialties." β
"The style is different from the JYP style! Understandable. William Wang said with a smile. What about the origin? β
"Boss, we're illiam entertainment." Li Zhi said with a black line in his head.
"It doesn't matter! Or JYP, what if the style is theirs? Don't care about these false names. William Wang waved his hand nonchalantly, "Actually, it's good now, the average level has a foundation, and then the characteristic part will make up for the ...... of these new children."
"Boss, there are two island children!" Min Chang-ho interrupted William Wang's words, which seemed to be a summary of his remarks.
ββ¦β¦ Let's go ahead then. William Wang was a little embarrassed.
He really forgot.
Well, it's not that he has a bad memory, it's because he's still chatting with Kim Taeyeon in his head while he is conducting an interview......
Kim Taeyeon actually has no itinerary today, so she is now at William Wang's house.
"The next child is called Sasha Minatozaki, and he is the face of their original group......" Min Changho, as William Wang's agent for so many years, knows his boss far above everyone present, but when he saw William Wang's state, he understood that it must be the boss's wife waiting for the boss to go back at home.
Let's get it done!
So, he's going to introduce it here very quickly.
"Facades? Now the group can't decide whether Caiyan or Jieqiong will be the faΓ§ade, so let's have another one? Zheng Duohui asked with a ridiculous expression.
"What's not to settle? Isn't it Jieqiong? William Wang answered next to him, "Cai Yan's personality is really choking, and if she is a faΓ§ade, she is not generous enough to feel like a child...... And I remember hearing Min Chang-ho tell me two days ago that I needed Park Seok-min's help to fix my eyes or something......"
"Well...... "Min Chang-ho was a little sneering.
Can Park Seok-min's side not be brought to the table! Recently, it was not only Zheng Caiyan who went there to make some minor adjustments.
And, JYP, come over these guys, do you think you shouldn't tweak them?
"Forget it, let her in." William Wang answered.
The boss seems to be really in a hurry to go home!
Min Changho became more and more confirmed, nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked out of the practice room......
"This girl is a faΓ§ade? Don't tease ......"
When Sasha Minato left, Li Zhina, who couldn't hold back, complained first.
"Nice character. Perhaps affinity. Roughly equivalent to Kei's character? Zheng Dahui once again came out to speak as the only woman.
"Well, it should be." Min Changho nodded. "It's not a big problem to join the group, and it may be a little conflicting with Concubine En, but considering her identity as an islander......"
"Are you thinking about going to the island country to develop?" Li Zhina laughed.
ββ¦β¦ You have to plan! The market on the peninsula is so big, you always have to go outside to make money. β
"Yo, okay!" Li Zhi's smile was even happier.
"After following the boss for so many years, I understand some of these things." Min Chang-ho was a little sneering, "Then here is the last one, a child called Mingjing Nam, who is not in JYP's debut plan......"
"Check it out! Anyway, there are nine of them, and it's not bad for this one. Lee Ji-na interrupted Min Chang-ho before Kim Hyung-seok could speak.
That means telling Kim Hyung-seok not to be in a hurry to refuse.
Sure enough, Kim Hyung-seok, who didn't want to watch it, could only shut up.
In fact, this is also the truth, is there an essential difference between nine people and ten people?
There are no more.
Anyway, it's all about him to scratch his head and find a way to make a song.
And with this mood, when the last girl walked into the dance practice room a little timidly, he couldn't say anything.
This girl......
It doesn't seem like there's any excuse for elimination!
Although it seems to be ......
"There's no need to keep her, is there? It feels like she's a trainee in our company. Kim Hyung-seok was the first to come out and comment, "There are no shortcomings, but there are no special advantages......"
"Hmm." Li Zhina also responded, and what Kim Hyung-seok said did make sense.
"Actually, she and Caiyan seem to collide a bit." Zheng Duohui interjected next to him.
"What about your opinion?" Lee Zhina asked Min Chang-ho.
ββ¦β¦ My opinion? Min Changho was stunned.
"Yes! You're the head of the room! Tell me what you think......"
"If you don't qualify, you can stay." Min Changho thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said seriously.
"Why?" Li Zhina looked at him playfully.
"For the island market."
"Island Market...... We'll have to ask our boss nim for this...... What are you doing, boss? β
"Huh? Oh! Oh! β
ββ¦β¦ What do you want? β
"It's nothing, it's just ...... Well, this girl must have learned to dance ballet, right? William Wang looked at Min Chang-ho.
"Huh?"
ββ¦β¦ Where did you see that? Li Zhina looked at Min Changho, who was stopped by William Wang's words, and answered a little helplessly.
"It's just the feeling." William Wang said with a smile: "I also understand why this girl was not selected for JYP's debut plan and why Park Jin-young doesn't particularly like this girl." She really doesn't match JYP's style! β
"You say that...... It seems to be too. Zheng Duohui, who was next to her, thought about it for a while, and answered with a smile: "Like Caiyan, she has a very gentle personality and feels very well-behaved, but it seems that she looks more assertive than Caiyan." β
"It's not that she's better than Caiyan, it's just the corporate culture, if you stay in a company like JYP for a long time, people who don't have an opinion will become assertive." William Wang interrupted the discussion that was about to unfold on this topic, "I think Chang Ho is right, there is no reason why you can't stay, just stay!" For the island market. β
"But ten people is really a lot!" Kim Hyung-seok answered. "It will make fans form an obstacle to recognize people."
"It's really a problem." Zheng Duohui nodded beside him, "There are 7 members of Dreamcatcher, it took us more than two years to distinguish them one by one in front of the public, and this will be replaced by ten...... I can't imagine any way to get fans to quickly accept their differences. β
"Variety show! Regimental Synthesis. William Wang said lightly.
ββ¦β¦ It's easy to say, how can there be so many opportunities......" Zheng Duohui shook his head, "Even if it's a group show, even if we shoot it ourselves and find Mnet to broadcast it, a group show of about 8 episodes, with an average of less than one episode per person on the head of ten people, is not enough to make people impress them very deeply!" β
"And they're a bit of a collision with each other." Kim Hyung-seok, who was next to him, struck while the iron was hot: "Mingjing Nam and Jung Chae-yeon, Minato Sasha and Ding Eun Concubine ......"
"What do you mean? Don't want it? William Wang was a little speechless, "I bought it and can't return it." β
"And in fact, JYP also took into account the opportunity we gave them to debut, so they packaged it for us." Li Zhina also answered next to him, "Four hundred thousand, five people, it's really not expensive." β
"But if you forcibly pack and debut together like this, no one may be popular in the end!" Zheng Duohui said insistently.
Now in illiam entertainment, she is the one who has the most say on the topic of girl groups, and even Kim Hyung-seok may not know better than her.
"And what do you think?"
William Wang was a little helpless.
He wanted to end this interview as soon as possible, but he didn't expect a sudden accident...... But what Zheng Dahui and Kim Hyung-seok said makes sense.
Headache.
"Seriously, in fact, only Lin Nalian is useful to us." Kim Hyung-seok saw that Wang William was no longer the one who didn't give any room for negotiation, and his heart was alive, he was really under pressure to make a group of ten. "A few of the other members...... Perhaps we could consider arranging it for Bighit or introducing it to other CJEM subsidiaries. β
ββ¦β¦ It's not appropriate, right? β
"Then you can consider telling JYP, we don't need the other children first, and we can buy a Lin Nalian for 400,000 yuan." Kim Hyung-seok continued.
"It's a bit expensive, isn't it?" Li Zhina interjected next to him.
"Or else." The dance director, who hadn't spoken much on the side, interjected, "We can consider telling JYP that these girls have temporarily moved to our company, and we will raise them first and do some pre-debut activities, but we will not join the project we are preparing." β
"Who is this deceiving!" Li Zhina disagreed.
"But I also think that the quality of these girls is quite good, so it's a pity to not want it...... But if you really want to join the team, it seems that it is a little inappropriate......" The dance director suddenly felt that he had better shut up.
"Boss, although I'm not very satisfied with Park Jin-young's people doing a lot of things, I also want to ask, what did you think about asking President Lee to help JYP in his personal name?" Kim Hyung-seok suddenly changed the subject.
"That's it...... So many people in our company are from JYP. William Wang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and pointed to Kim Hyung-seok, dance director Lim Jae-hyun, "Even if it wasn't very pleasant when I left for various reasons, I must have feelings for JYP, and you probably don't feel good when you see it go out of business like this." Plus Park Jin-young is a person...... Well, it's true that he's not a bad person, help it, just help it. β
"Then I think boss, you brought this girl group from JYP this time, which is equivalent to cutting off JYP's household!" Kim Hyung-seok sighed.
ββ¦β¦ Why? William Wang was stunned, "Aren't they going to have a men's group soon!" And the 2PM they're doing well now is also a boy band! β
"JYP may have experience with the men's group, but boss, you forgot, since the beginning of this year, the more profitable is the girl group." Kim Hyung-seok smiled, "This year, the popularity and profitability of the girl group are very impressive, whether it is in terms of music sources, records, as well as various endorsements and activities. JYP is no longer one of the Big Three, they need cash flow. Cultivating the second 2PM requires a lot of money and publicity, which is why we are not optimistic about the boy group he is breaking, but the cost of the girl group in this regard is much lower! As long as there are a few songs that can be mastered, don't even small companies such as DreamTea already have quasi-first-line girl groups? It is a typical example of small and large. If we put their girl group in the pot this time, at least in the next four years, JYP will not push the basic team of the new girl group, which will basically cut off the only little chance of survival left for JYP after the failure of this men's group. β
"What do you mean......"
"Like you said, boss, we have a good relationship with JYP though...... Well, I can't say that there are deep feelings, but it still means a lot to us after all. Kim Hyung-seok nodded, "So I still don't want that company to really be so obscure, and ...... Now it may not be wise for us to absorb these girls into our project, so it might as well be better for us to sell more favors to JYP. β
ββ¦β¦ Do we help them push new groups? William Wang instantly understood what Kim Hyung-seok meant.
"I didn't say anything about pushing the new group, just said that these five girls, except for Lin Nalian, the other few collided with the existing trainees in our company." Kim Hyung-seok thought for a while and said seriously: "Then if JYP wants them to go back there, we can send them back, and if they feel that the economic contract of the artists who support them is a little difficult, we can help them raise ......"
"No, Mr. Kim Hyung-seok, are you planning to do charity?" On the side, Li Zhina was unhappy when he heard this.
"Of course not!" Kim Hyung-seok smiled, "We can tell JYP that these children are of very good quality, and it's a pity not to be artists, but JYP can't push a new group now...... Then let's just push a group for JYP. β
ββ¦β¦ Isn't that charity? β
"Listen to me, President!" Kim Hyung-seok smiled and shook his head, "We will launch our own girl group next year, and then arrange to help JYP promote one of their girl groups the year after next." β
ββ¦β¦ Fight with yourself and yourself? β
"Of course not! We can help with some money, JYP will do it himself......"
"Isn't that the same as their current debut project?" Lee Zhina's expression was getting worse and worse, and he felt that Kim Hyung-seok was just playing the piano indiscriminately.
"The year after...... By the way, when do the 2PM members do their military service? William Wang suddenly remembered something.
Be quiet.
Everyone in the room looked at William Wang.
Everyone understood the significance of William Wang's topic in an instant.
JYP's cash flow is basically all supported by 2PM now, and if they are going to serve in the military, then JYP will have no income at all.
How will they live then? Counting on this new boy band?
So, Park Jin-young, who came to talk about his debut plan with illiam Entertainment this year, and Park Jin-young, who talked about his debut plan with William Wang the year after, can they be the same gorilla?
"That's a good idea." William Wang interjected next to him, "We can help JYP hold this up when the time comes." β
"That's not going to make much money...... Li Zhina still disagreed.
"Did you get into the horns?" William Wang smiled, "The market doesn't make money, just earn it back in capital." β
ββ¦β¦ What do you mean...... Acquisition of JYP? β
"Park Jin-young himself is almost unable to support JYP's stock price, and their shares should have been concentrated in the hands of a limited number of people now, almost, if we join as a spoiler, Park Jin-young should welcome us." William Wang nodded, "Just imagine, next year, that men's group debuts, in case it doesn't become popular......"
"Not in case." Min Changho, who was next to him, suddenly interjected, "No one in the circle believes that this group can become popular." β
ββ¦β¦ Well, JYP's stock price will definitely plummet by then. William Wang smiled. Let's just go in and get to the bottom. And then as a shareholder of JYP, it seems natural for us to help them. β
"Shareholders are just ......" Li Zhina doesn't seem to be very interested in JYP.
"No, it's even possible that they are all major shareholders." William Wang shook his head, "Have you ever thought about it, if we also go in to disrupt the situation, and we are still spoilers who are very close to Park Zhenying, what will be the mentality of those sub-capitals who are plotting against them now?" β
ββ¦β¦ See us as enemies? β
"They are stupid to see us as enemies!" William Wang smiled, "We will be the arbiters between the two factions." So, we don't even have to control a lot of shares, and we might be able to control JYP when the time comes. β
"Is there any point in controlling JYP?"
"The bad guy is one of the big three, and the foundation is much thicker than ours, and there are some resources that we should still use." Next to him, Kim Hyung-seok interjected again.
ββ¦β¦ So what do we say about the results of the interview now? Li Zhina didn't want to talk about this anymore.
Just now, William Wang wanted to end this interview, and now it's him.
Let's get it over quickly, the higher the thing, the bigger it gets.
"Let's just say that only Lin Nalian has a fancy for us, and we can raise the other girls for JYP, and if JYP plans to launch a girl group again, we can consider arranging for them to join, rest assured, Park Zhenying will definitely want to do this." Kim Hyung-seok answered next to him. "He must also know that the women's group is a guarantee of cash flow, otherwise he would never push the women's group first and then the men's group."
"Okay...... So these girls are on this side...... Do you go to deal with it? Li Zhina looked at Min Changho.
"This ......"
Min Chang-ho was a little embarrassed. came to five interviews, and only one was admitted, he really didn't know how to say this to a few very cute girls.
"I can give you a piece of advice." William Wang interjected next to him, "Don't talk about who was selected and who wasn't, let these five girls practice with the five girls in our company for a while." β
ββ¦β¦ What do you mean? Min Changho was stunned.
"I am still confident in the training level of our company's trainees." William Wang said with a smile: "JYP, these five girls have nothing to say except for the dancing level of the girl named Hirai Momo, and the other ...... Even if Na Lian is included, the average level is not as good as these children trained by our company. After practicing together for a while, they naturally understand why there is no one on the debut list......"
"That's the question of who to choose for this group of children?" Min Chang-ho also understood instantly.
"Hmm. It's a big deal to arrange for them to conduct an assessment before their debut. William Wang nodded, "I still have confidence in the children in our company." Maybe they are a little worse off in terms of stage aura and leadership temperament, but when it comes to the basic qualities of being an artist...... I believe in them. β
"You're such a fan......
"Then what else! If there are really ten people, Teacher Kim Hyung-seok can't pick a child! When you're going to make the album? William Wang asked with a smile.
"I won't either......" Kim Hyung-seok was a little embarrassed.
"That's all there is to it." Li Zhina thought about it and nodded. "It's a big deal, when the time comes, whoever in our company doesn't keep up, will move their debut back."
"Then it's decided, I'll go back first." William Wang stood up directly.
"Why are you in a hurry?" Li Zhina smiled, "Forget it, you can go, we will solve the rest of the things ourselves...... By the way, how are you doing? β
ββ¦β¦ What's the matter? β
ββ¦β¦ Have you forgotten your main responsibilities as a trainee interviewer in our company? Li Zhina glanced at William Wang deeply.
William Wang was stunned.
And then I remembered.
That's right, my main duty is to see if this group of children has the life of a star......
Spiritism!
"Forgot ......"
ββ¦β¦β
"I'll take another look." William Wang sighed a little helplessly.
"Go, go, go!" Li Zhina waved his hand, as if chasing flies.
"President, what special responsibilities does the boss have?" Kim Hyung-seok looked puzzled.
"It's nothing, it's just ...... Well, the girl that the boss likes will be popular. β
ββ¦β¦ Is this a special feature? β
"It's a tradition of illiam entertainment."
ββ¦β¦ All right. Kim Hyung-seok smiled and shook his head.
On the side, Min Chang-ho and Jung Do-hye both looked at each other for a moment, and then nodded.
β¦β¦
'I'm sorry, Taeyeon, I won't be able to finish this matter for a while. β
"OPPA, you don't have to worry! Ginger is with me anyway, hehe...... It's playing tricks on me again...... Come, mommy...... Well, that's good!! β
ββ¦β¦ I'm kind of craving dog meat hot pot. β
'Hmph, even eat a dog's vinegar, you're not ashamed! Ginger, you say, isn't your dad ashamed! β
ββ¦β¦β
Okay, it seems that Kim Taeyeon is really happy to play at home, so don't be too anxious.
β¦β¦
