Chapter 465
“It feels like a loss if we let go of this strength!”
“Except for her voice, I don’t think she is much worse than Taeyeon.”
Although I only heard a few words, Lee Soo Man, a veteran who has been in the entertainment industry for decades and has brought out many artists, can already clearly understand Park So Yeon's strength.
However, his seemingly casual sigh caused Jin Yingmin, who was watching the show with him next to him, to break out in a cold sweat.
Trainees who were trained by their own family ended up debuting with someone else and became famous. This was a dereliction of duty on their part.
Especially since they have missed JYP, Rain, and many other successful artists.
Fortunately, Li Xiuman seemed to just sigh unintentionally, and then there was no other expression, and Jin Yingmin breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he still kept this matter in mind and had already made a plan.
"After returning home in a while, let the people below begin to conduct a thorough examination of the trainees. We must avoid such problems."
"If this happens again, it's really hard to explain."
Li Xiuman didn't pay attention to the changes in Jin Yingmin's expression, nor did he pay attention to his psychological activities.
In the past, he might have been angry or even furious because of this matter, just to let them remember it.
But now, his mind is no longer on SM Company, but on his and Huang Xu's plan, thinking about how to escape.
As for the SM company he founded, it was also the work he was most proud of in the first half of his life. For him now, it has become a heavy burden.
It was also a yoke that trapped him.
While the two were just having their own thoughts, Park So Yeon on TV also finished singing the song and received warm applause from the audience.
There is no way. On the one hand, Park So Yeon’s song singing ability is really good.
On the other hand, it was because Park So-yeon, a foreigner and an artist from a developed country, was able to sing the song "Girl with Wings" eloquently and fluently, which brought them great excitement. surprise.
It is actually not uncommon for foreign artists to sing Chinese songs.
But most people sang either "Sweet Honey" or "I Only Care About You" or other cliche songs.
Although the song "Girl with Waving Wings" is also very old, ten years have passed since its release.
But for the audience in the audience, this song is not very old, and this song is also a song they often sang together when they were students.
That’s why these people are so enthusiastic and enthusiastic.
Lee Soo Man watched the audience's reaction on the show, and then asked Kim Young Min next to him.
"Youngmin, Sunny and the others, and Ryeowook and the others, have you prepared any Chinese songs this time?"
"Uh~~~"
Jin Yingmin looked at the TV at this time, After Park So Yeon gave her feedback after her performance, she also noticed something was wrong.
But now we can only bite the bullet and report to Li Xiumanhui.
“They all prepared song songs, but Super Junior’s Ryeowook sang “I Only Care About You” and Taeyeon arranged “Sweet Honey”.”
"Well, be careful when choosing songs in the future. Don't just prepare these two songs."
"Also, ask the lead singers of each team to learn a few Chinese songs. It's best to learn some new ones. "
"Don't go over and over again, there are only these two songs."
Li Xiuman was not surprised by this result. He just reminded her briefly and said nothing more. .
After all, these are the two songs that Korean artists like to perform most when they go to China. They are conventional hype and basically can’t go wrong.
But that was before, and if there wasn't Tara, singing those two songs wouldn't mean anything.
After all, this is a classic Chinese song, and it is very popular throughout East Asia.
I also learned these two songs and can perform them in many countries. The price/performance ratio is very high.
But now with the development of the economy and the rise of China, they now want to enter the Chinese market and please the Chinese audience.
Then we can no longer follow the old routine, we need to keep pace with the times.
Especially when I see that all members of Tara can basically speak a little Chinese now.
Jin Yingmin saw that Li Xiuman didn't mean to go into details, and nodded quickly and made a guarantee.
"Okay teacher, I'll make arrangements when I get down in a minute, and try to get them all to master one or two Chinese songs as soon as possible."
"Well, just watch the arrangements."
Li Xiuman nodded and said nothing more. Instead, he focused on looking at the TV screen and watching the program on it.
At this time, on the TV show, after Tara completed the scheduled session, she was greeted by the host and returned to the backstage to rest.
Then, the host began to build momentum for Super Junior and others to take the stage next.
“The group I will introduce to you next is an old friend of ours. They had members who came here a few years ago.”
“But last time, there were The last time I came here, there were only a few members.”
“But this time, everyone gathered and came to the scene.”
"Next, we invite South Korea's top boy group, Asia's trend superstar, Super Junior from South Korea's SM company to take the stage."
With the host's introduction, more than a dozen members of Super Junior also opened on the big screen Afterwards, walk towards the stage.
At the same time, Super Junior's classic song "Sorry, Sorry" was also played in the studio hall.
The members of Super Junior also started a hand-rubbing dance that was almost engraved into their instincts to the sound of music.
The uniform knife dance of a dozen of them, as well as this familiar and dynamic melody, directly ignited the entire studio hall.
Compared to Tara, Super Junior's fame and popularity are obviously much higher.
Therefore, the audience at the scene cheered very much and gave them plenty of cards.
Lee Soo Man also smiled with satisfaction when he saw the audience's reaction during the show.
“It seems that they are quite popular in China!”
“If this kind of feedback can be maintained, then the next plan should be able to proceed smoothly.”< br>
But his happiness didn't last long. When the medley of Super Junior's classic songs ended and the interview session began, his smile disappeared.
Except for Cui Siyuan, who has a good level of Chinese and is able to communicate simply, the rest of the current superjuniors are either beginners or not even beginners.
Most of them are fixed and simple introductions, as well as official phrases such as "I love you" and "Thank you all".
It stands to reason that their performance has surpassed that of most Korean groups and is a relatively qualified performance.
Just thinking about the performance of Tara and others just now, Li Xiuman couldn't help but laugh.
There is no way, things are afraid of comparison, especially when the two groups appear on the front and back legs, the contrast is even more stark.
And besides this, he also thought of another person.
A figure he has high hopes for and hopes that his joining the team will open up the Chinese market. It's a pity that this person had fallen out with the company a few years ago and returned to China for development.
It was precisely because of him that Li Xiuman's Chinese strategy was in vain and suffered heavy losses.
Just thinking of these, the smile on his face disappeared.
But after more than ten minutes, he found that he was angry, and he was angry too early.
On the show, after Super Junior finished a simple interview and sang half of a Chinese song, he immediately stepped off the stage to rest.
Yes, not one song, just half of it.
When recording live, one song may be performed, but after editing, only half of the song remains.
The rest was edited out.
And not only the songs they sang were edited, but also their interactive interviews were pitifully short compared to Tara and others.
Even the screen time of a dozen of them may only be about half of that of Tara.
This made his face darken, obviously he was not very satisfied with their performance.
But now, he is still sitting calmly on the chair, watching TV programs.
But after Super Junior stepped down, Girls' Generation's performance made him completely unable to sit still.
Seeing that they, like Super Junior, had very little screen time, he couldn't sit still at all.
No way, if the Super Juniors can speak a few sentences in Chinese when introducing themselves and communicating.
As for the members of Girls’ Generation, apart from Sunny, there are only Taeyeon and Jessica, who can say a few words.
Other people basically relied on translators to communicate throughout the entire process.
This is also the reason why they have fewer shots.
However, Lee Soo Man was not angry with the program team or the TV station.
As an old man in the entertainment industry, he knows that the current situation is not caused by someone in the middle, nor is it someone scheming against him.
It’s because his artists really don’t live up to expectations.
They are all guests, but one group can communicate in Chinese. Although many of them are beginners, their intentions can already be seen.
And because they are all beginners, they can present better program effects.
After all, Korean variety shows often feature foreign artists who have just learned Korean, and watch them make all kinds of jokes because they are not familiar with the language.
Over in China, I think it should be the same, they all like to watch similar plots.
As for the other two groups, although some people can speak Chinese, most of them still rely on translators to communicate.
As long as the program team is not stupid, they will definitely know whose shots are effective and the scenes that the audience likes to watch.
So after watching the appearance of the three teams, he stood up directly.
"I won't watch, you can continue watching here."
"Tomorrow morning, submit a report on their performance and study how to improve their business capabilities. . ”
“By the way, you also need to find two employees who can speak Chinese and ask them to collect the audience’s reactions, especially the reactions on the Internet.”
“I will. It’s arranged.”
After watching Li Xiuman stand up and leave, Jin Yingmin dared to raise his head and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
He knew that Li Xiuman was really angry today and directly stated that their business capabilities needed to be improved.
Of course, it’s not that Super Junior and Girls’ Generation performed poorly on stage today.
These people, as artists who were selected from hundreds of trainees, have nothing to say about their professional abilities.
Whether it is dancing, singing skills, or stage performance, they are all quite good.
What Li Xiuman was dissatisfied about was that they knew they were going to China for a show, but they didn't try to learn Chinese temporarily. They were still doing the same thing.
Just as Kim Young-min wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared how to improve their business, he was in Yongsan Apartment not far from SM Cheongdam-dong Building.
Kim Taeyeon looked at the TV screen, and after she and others quickly stepped down after the points tracking appeared, her expression changed briefly.
Raised his head, looked at the two people around him, and looked at the two people's faces that also turned a little dark.
“Hey Yigu, I feel that after today’s program is over, we will be very busy in the next period of time.”
"Yeah, I'm really going to be busy next time."
Jung Soo-yeon also nodded in agreement, with a wry smile similar to Kim Taeyeon's face.
As artists who have been in the industry for several years, how could they not understand the meaning of the duration of their appearance on the show?
And they also know exactly what the company will do after watching this program.
Even though they have been debuting for several years, they are also the number one girl group in South Korea.
But when facing the company, they still have no ability to resist and can only obey the company's arrangements.
Compared to the two people with grimaces and frowns, Sunny next to them acted very relaxed.
“Okay, why are you so nervous?”
“The company will scold us a few times at most, and then sign us up for a Chinese class or something like that. Is this necessary?”
>
“Of course you’re not worried.”
"As the person with Chinese proficiency in the team and the person with the best Chinese proficiency, you can't understand our pain at all."
Looking at Sunny who was relaxed and basically unaffected, Jessica was unceremonious. complained.
You know, Chinese is one of the most difficult languages to learn in the world, and it is quite difficult for many students.
Not to mention these "scumbag" artist idols.
And she then revealed without hesitation another reason why Sunny was not worried.
"And based on your current position in the company, do you think anyone can criticize you?"
"It's not as exaggerated as you said. Am I still the same sunny person as SNSD?"
Sunny faced Jessica’s complaints and immediately started acting like a baby, trying to cover up the special nature of her identity.
However, Jessica didn't listen to her and said directly to her.
"You know what your current situation is."
"I don't know who it is, but he took his boyfriend to the concert openly and openly. Even the room was booked with the help of the company."
"And how dare he"
