After choosing a good time, Chen Chen went to HighUp.
"Brother Rado, what do you want to do with such a big camera?"
Chen Chen received a very fierce welcome when he entered the door, a large-scale one that would only be seen on a TV station. The camera was pointed directly at his face.
“Legendary producer Chen Chen rarely visits, so of course we have to record it!” Rado smiled and handed the camera in his hand to the others, while he patted Chen Chen’s arm affectionately, “ Well, it would be great if you could come. I was just joking, and it would definitely be inappropriate for you to appear on the scene in this kind of thing. "
"Of course, I really want you, the big boss of C Division, to appear on the scene." Rado said with a hint of pity: "You appear for one second in the pre-debut materials we recorded. It can match our twenty-minute long video. I really want you to appear at all costs.”
"It's not that I don't want to appear on camera, it's just that I have to face too many troubles after appearing on camera." Chen Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It may take a few years for both of us to solve that kind of trouble, so we'd better stay fresher. "
With Chen Chen's current status, appearing in any group's debut trailer is South Korea's most powerful propaganda weapon, and the effect is unmatched by twenty top promotional videos.
But the price is that this group will be bound to Chen Chen in people's hearts, and everyone will be watching with a magnifying glass throughout the process.
This is a good thing for big companies, but small companies like HighUp will definitely not be able to handle it.
“That’s how it should be. I’ve done a lot of things like taking advantage of small things and suffering big losses, but now I regret it to death.”
Rado said and led Chen Chen into the office, and quickly went to find something to make tea.
"The office is pretty good." Chen Chen took this opportunity to look around, "It is quite outstanding among the offices of entertainment companies I have been to."
"Haha , after all, it was the company that CJ sponsored us to start, and it was a little more luxurious at the beginning." Rado smiled and put the tea on the table, "Come and sit down and drink tea, keep the good tea that you can't bear to drink. "
"Okay. "
Chen Chen sat down, then picked up the tea, smelled the fragrance, and took a sip quietly.
"I don't understand." Chen Chen put down the tea cup carelessly. "Although I drink tea every time I chat with people, I have never understood it."
"Hahaha, me too, But seeing that everyone likes to drink tea, I keep it ready at all times,” Rado complained, “It’s better to stay with young people. The seniors I met after starting the company are really more difficult to deal with.”
"Like young people?" Chen Chen suddenly laughed, "Is this the reason why you fell in love with Pumei?"
"That's not true. Falling in love naturally has reasons for falling in love."
Rado behaved very calmly, without any uneasiness or panic at all.
Maybe in his opinion, Chen Chen has known about this for a long time. After all, Pumei is the contracted anchor of C Department, and Chen Chen is the president of C Department
“So it’s also true that HighUp wants to be a girl group. Because you saw the girl group through Pumei?" Chen Chen teased.
"There must be some influence. After all, you are the closest person around you, how could you not have some influence? But the most important thing is that the opportunity is right." Rado answered honestly, "Female trainees trained by the company When it comes to trying to debut, the only option is to join a girl group, and there is no condition to think of a boy band."
Chen Chen didn't expect that the other party would give such a serious answer, and he was a little confused for a moment. daze.
“Ahem, let’s talk about business.” Chen Chen also quickly became serious, “What kind of advice does Brother Rado want me to provide?”
"I hope PD Chen can help with the selection of debut candidates." Rado replied: "Everyone agrees that PD Chen's eye for people is unparalleled in South Korea. I hope that I can use this magical vision to help determine the final lineup."
"After the lineup is determined, when do you plan to debut?"
Chen Chen asked casually.
“It’s almost half a year of practice, and we’ve already produced the album.” Rado smiled sheepishly, “After all, we are also pretty good producers, and we are really making progress in preparing the album. It’s a lot of work to be chosen ahead of the debuting members.”
“Oh,” Chen Chen’s tone slowly deepened, “It means that my few words will affect the lives of these dozen girls. Right? "That's right."
Rado’s generous answer.
"Understood." Chen Chen drank all the tea on the table and stood up, "Then please ask Brother Rado to provide the first place for me to meet the girls alone. Come one by one, I Everyone needs to talk. "
The purpose is not to talk, but to create opportunities for Chen Chen to use various fragments in his head.
The Black Eyes Must Win girl group is quite popular as a team. It is considered a vocal category among the Five Generations girl groups. Chen Chen just can’t remember the specific members.
......
"Oh my god! Is the mysterious person actually Chen Chen and Oppa?! I didn't expect to see you again at this time!"
A little girl came in after pushing the door open, and at first glance After recognizing Chen Chen, he was very excited.
"Do you know me?" Chen Chen was a little confused. He had no impression of this girl.
"My name is Zhang Ruien, and I have met you a few times when I was a trainee at Soy Sauce Bottle." Zhang Ruien quickly stood up and said hello respectfully, "I just came to HighUp in December last year."< br>
"Oh, you said that, I seem to have a bit of an impression." Chen Chen walked up and rubbed her head, "When the Soy Sauce Bottle incident happened and lost a few trainees who were unfortunate, I seemed to see them on the list. Pass you.”
The back of my head felt numb, and I got the information.
Zhang Ruien, whose stage name is J, seems to be quite popular, so he provided Chen Chen with a lot of information.
However, the information contributed by one person is not comprehensive. Chen Chen still needs to collect all the fragments of the remaining members.
After asking a few random questions, Chen Chen nodded perfunctorily before sending Zhang Ruien away and informing the next person!
"..."
After collecting the information, Chen Chen suddenly discovered that STAYC, a six-member girl group, seems to be developing very well. Although it is not at the top, it can be regarded as one of the famous girl groups among the five generations.
Awesome, Black Eyes Must Win, the first time a girl group was released, they were able to create STAYC, which can be called a miracle for a small company. The level is very high.
After getting the information, Chen Chen felt reassured. The next step was to cooperate with Rado to go through the necessary cutscenes.
Look at the stage prepared by the girls, comment on it in a pretentious manner, and then discuss it with the HighUp staff. Chen Chen’s performance can be said to be flawless.
Finally, Chen Chen and Rado returned to the office for a concluding conversation.
"I have basically compiled the list here. Brother Rado, come and listen to it."
Chen Chen's action of pulling out a few pieces of information is not considered cool, but Rado is watching it. Drooling.
"Is this confirmed?" Rado put away his shocked chin with his hand, and hurriedly approached Chen Chen to ask, "Are they the final candidates or do you think these trainees are good?!"
"Is it possible that the trainees I think are good should be the final candidates?" Chen Chen smiled and patted Rado on the shoulder, "Let's talk, talk about individuals, and also talk about my ideas. ”
The content about the group naturally came from Chen Chen’s mind. After digesting the information, he already had a clear idea of what kind of girl group STAYC is.
The personal judgment comes from important instructions from my girlfriend Bae Zhuhyun.
