Chapter 337 Super idol, found a treasure
South Korea, Apgujeong.
Sm company building, in the practice room.
After finishing their dance practice, several boys gathered together to rest.
Although it has been confirmed that they will debut in the same group.
But there are small groups everywhere.
The brotherhood shown to fans by the group is all character-based. They usually play well together in private, and most of the time they are just ordinary colleagues.
Each of them is playing with their mobile phones.
The boy next to Huang Zitao had a cool look on his face and he didn't know who he was sending messages to. Occasionally, a slightly restless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Zhang Yixing suddenly looked a little excited. He mysteriously pulled Lu Han beside him and said, "Master Lu, let me tell you some big news."
"What's wrong?"
Lu Han took a sip of water.
"Zhou Yutang will come to SM Company today."
"Pfft!"
Lu Han transformed into a water arrow turtle, squirted out a mouthful of water, and wiped his mouth Water stains, looking at Zhang Yixing with wide eyes: "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure and definitely."
Zhang Yixing smiled and said: "Let me tell you, this is the news from Zhou Yutang's fan station sister, it is absolutely reliable."
"I don't know when the time will come. Do you have a chance to take a photo?"
Huang Zitao also jumped up excitedly: "The Governor of Jiangdong is so handsome that he has no friends."
For them, coming to South Korea is a waste. What is the purpose of being a trainee?
For debut.
As long as you can debut, you are an idol.
But the road of idols comes to an end.
Only then can you see Zhou Yutang’s back.
Wearing a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, Zhou Yutang walked into the SM company building through the back door from the parking lot. He seemed to see a familiar face and paused slightly.
"Pei Zhuxuan?"
"Huh?"
The beautiful girl whose name was called trembled like a frightened rabbit. She looked up and saw Zhou Yutang smiling at her, and her pupils were shaking. .
The person standing next to her was not Jiang Seulgi, but a little girl who looked to be at least fourteen or fifteen years old.
She was also shocked, but after a brief period of confusion, the little girl's eyes turned suspiciously between Pei Zhuxuan and Zhou Yutang beside her.
"Senior, hello."
Pei Zhuxuan came to her senses and directly pulled the little girl next to her to bow at 90 degrees.
Probably feeling a little embarrassed, he blushed and explained in a low voice: "We are waiting for takeout."
Zhou Yutang nodded lightly, followed Song Qian into the company, and interrupted Waiting for the elevator in his pocket, he casually asked: "Doesn't your company have a canteen?"
"Uh."
Song Qian looked beside her.
“Don’t look, Old Man Li has something to do and left.”
“.”
Song Qian pursed her lips slightly, holding back a smile and explained: “Actually, Yes, but Teacher Li Xiuman said that the company is a place to make music, not a place to eat, so the canteen here is relatively simple.”
“I understand, it’s not for people to eat.”
"Pfft."
Song Qian covered her mouth and chuckled. She quickly looked at Zhou Yutang and felt that the distance between the two had become much closer.
"Actually, I am a trainee. When I was young, I often ate food from outside secretly with my teammates, but we also had to control the calories. I bought a portion and shared it among several people, otherwise it would be miserable when we weighed ourselves."
"Being overweight will cause How's it going?"
Zhou Yutang became a little interested.
"The teacher will say unpleasant things."
Song Qian saw the elevator arriving and pressed the button first: "There are also the trainees around her, they will also look at it with strange eyes, although they will not say it face to face. , will also talk behind his back, making people feel that their self-esteem has been frustrated."
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Bangzi likes to play bullying."
"Wow, Zhu. Sister Hyun, this one is so handsome!”
After watching Zhou Yutang enter the elevator, Jin Yilin jumped up and down excitedly, and turned around to pull Pei Zhuhyun, as if she was an amateur meeting a big star. .
Ignoring the way the restaurant delivery guy looked at me like he was mentally retarded.
Pei Zhuxuan felt a little embarrassed. After paying, he took the spicy fried rice cake and took Jin Yilin and hid behind the door.
“Shh, keep your voice down.”
“Sister Zhuhyun, you don’t have a secret relationship with that person, do you?”
Jin Yelin is a kid. , his big black eyes kept moving, and he analyzed excitedly: "There are photos of you with him in your mobile phone, and he actually knows your name. It turns out that the scandal with Sister Yoona is all fake, in order to cover up the truth. .”
Snap!
Pei Zhuxuan slapped her forehead speechlessly: "Don't talk nonsense, it will cause trouble for that senior. We only met once."
"Oh, Got it."
Jin Yilin rubbed her head and said aggrievedly: "Sister Zhuhyun, don't worry, I won't be exposed."
Bai Zhuhyun: "."
Wearing the latest autumn trench coat from Giorgio Armani, he put his hands into the pockets of his nine-point suit pants and stepped on a pair of casual leather shoes.
Zhou Yutang's dress today is casual and a bit yuppie.
When he got to the SM company's practice room, he realized something was wrong: "Why are there so many people here?"
"I don't know."
Song Qian also I was a little dumbfounded, and secretly surprised by Zhou Yutang's popularity.
Outside the practice room on this floor, the aisles are full of trainees, and there are heads poking out from the stairs.
Such a scene is similar to a celebrity filming in a school and being watched enthusiastically.
Zhou Yutang could feel the uproar and the excitement and joy in their expressions. Some of them had already taken out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Being chased by fans is commonplace, but this is the first time that I have been chased by these future idols like this, and it feels a bit strange.
However.
The order was just a little chaotic.
Soon, a certain head of the artist department of SM Entertainment came out. These trainees were like students who skipped class and saw the dean, and swooped back to the practice room.
It soon became calm again.
The director of the artist department, surnamed Han, is a bit wide and fat, with a taut belly and a shirt tucked into his belt. He has a standard South Korean appearance. When he smiles, his eyes almost narrow into slits,< br>
"President Zhou, the children were very excited when they found out that you were coming to the company. Were you not frightened by their enthusiasm?"
Listening to Song Qian's translation, Zhou Yutang nodded slightly, "Let's go see the EXO group."
"Please follow me." Under the leadership of Chief Han, they arrived quickly Practice room for male trainees.
“Senior!”
“Hello.”
Zhou Yutang simply said hello and began to watch their dance performance.
Listening to the proud introduction from the Korean room manager, the boy group EXO recruited 120 students from the beginning and eliminated 20, reducing the number to 100.
Then, they eliminated 40 people one after another, turning it into 60 people.
Then after 36 were eliminated, the number dropped to the final twenty-four.
Only the remaining 12 people have determined the final group list for debut.
Old Man Li also worked hard to break into the Chinese market.
SM company has the title of Flower Field. These trainees from China who were selected into the new group are very good in appearance and dancing skills.
After the overall visit, Zhou Yutang had a very intuitive understanding.
After taking photos with Lu Han and Zhang Yixing, they exchanged contact information with each other.
Zhou Yutang went directly back to his company in Apgujeong, Gangnam District.
For JD. Entertainment, after the trainee program was launched, many talent scouts were mobilized to find good prospects, and many trainee resumes were also received.
“For male trainees, the company does not have many target candidates.”
“But for the girl group planning, except for the very good girl provided by the president, there are a few more The conditions for trainees are very good."
Listening to the introductions of Pei Yun and Min Xizhen, Zhou Yutang rubbed his chin, feeling that there was a long way to go.
First of all, the trainee program has just been launched, and the selection scale is not mature enough. There is only one boy from China accepted in the first batch.
Just as the practice over there was over, Zhou Yutang went over and took a look,
"Your name is Wang Jia'er?"
"Yes."
The boy named Wang Jia'er, He is not afraid of strangers, nor is he restrained. He smiles brightly: "Hello, boss, I am your fan."
"How did you come up with the idea of becoming a trainee?"
"Actually, I went to participate in the audition for "The Voice" with my good friends, but failed in the audition. There happened to be a talent scout from Jiangdong Entertainment who thought that I had good conditions and invited me to come over and be a trainee. I happened to be very interested, so Come and try."
Wang Jia'er said in a logical manner.
It was too troublesome to re-train the talent scouting system, so Zhou Yutang directly relied on Mingjie Company’s domestic channels to fully expand across the three places across the Taiwan Strait.
He really found a treasure for him.
Zhou Yutang asked with interest: "Were you a professional athlete before?"
Wang Jia'er nodded, smiling and showing his big white teeth: "I started learning floor exercises with my mother when I was 7 years old. My family found that practicing gymnastics affected my height growth, so I later started learning fencing with my dad."
Zhou Yutang has also seen Wang Jia'er's resume.
It can be said that it is quite not simple.
The fencing event won three consecutive Asian championships, three national championships, and nine international and Hong Kong championships.
A professional athlete who is handsome, can be said to be extremely talented, and also has a talent for music. No wonder Min Hee Jin gave him an S-level rating as a trainee.
The information shows that after his parents sent him here, they found out it was a regular company and left their son here alone.
“Are you used to living here?”
“Hehe, actually I’m not used to it.”
Wang Jia’er scratched his head: “I just arrived in South Korea, what? I don’t know any language, singing, and dancing, but I think there should be no problem.”
“I like you, do your best.”
Zhou Yutang patted his shoulder with approval and began to draw: "When you are promoted to education student, you can learn more dance types and composition. If you want to act, the company will also provide resources. When you are promoted to planning team , then you can prepare for your debut, when the time comes.”
The education students and the planning team are all part of the company’s trainee system.
This is a fragrant and sweet cake.
Knocked the inexperienced Wang Jia'er unconscious.
Listening to Zhou Yutang describing the bright future prospects, he felt full of motivation and was ready to go to the practice room to sweat again.
Wang Jia'er also signed a 10-year rookie contract, but of course his own Zhou Yutang will take care of it.
Actively use resources to help him grow, that's for sure.
After he makes a successful debut, the number of years of his contract will increase, and his salary will increase accordingly. When the contract expires, he will also invest in shares to help him open a studio and boost his acting career.
“Boss, do you think highly of him?”
Pei Yun asked curiously.
"I think he will definitely be popular in the future, and the upper limit is very high."
Zhou Yutang smiled and asked: "In the future, he should be trained well and keep up with the cultural classes."
"Okay. Yes, Mr. Zhou.”
Pei Yun believed Zhou Yutang’s words.
I want to be an idol star.
There are several very important conditions.
The first one is the innate conditions, including appearance, personality and other comprehensive abilities.
Fans are very realistic. Even dogs won’t give an idol a second look if they don’t look good.
Then there is the personality. Wang Jia'er is not very old, but he is outgoing and cheerful. When he comes into contact with him, he makes people feel like he is very sunny. If he is well cultivated, he can be good at variety shows and dealing with people.
Of course.
The most important thing is to have someone to support you.
Although Zhou Yutang’s JD.Entertainment is a branch company, in terms of resource channels, it is no worse than SM.
On the South Korean side, relying on Li Fuzhen's relationship, not only the TV and variety shows of the three major TV stations in South Korea can be filled with people, but more importantly, the film and television resources controlled by Zhou Yutang.
Lim Yoona has jumped from a little idol to a movie star this year, and her net worth and endorsements have increased a lot.
“Boss, the company’s girl group project, when will Yang Chaoyue come over here?”
"Wait until her semester is over."
Zhou Yutang sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and looked through the female trainee information compiled by Pei Yun,
"What is this called Cheng Xiao?" What’s the situation?”
“Shencheng girl, with ten years of dancing skills, was discovered by the company’s talent scout at a dance competition.”
Pei Yun said with a smile: “Gifted by her parents. She was a little worried when she came over. I explained it for a long time and finally felt relieved after hearing that it was your company.”
"And this Jin Zhixiu, Min Xizhen also rated it very highly."
Zhou Yutang looked at the photo of another girl and suddenly sat up straight.
Wait.
It feels familiar.
Isn’t this Tang Wei’s long-lost sister?
