Chapter 061 Foundation Stone Red Velvet
(The collection has exceeded 3,000. I will add one chapter today and another chapter as usual in the evening.)
Compared with the "concise" decoration of the entire seventh floor, the eighth floor is slightly more luxurious. Li Xianzhe's personal office alone is as big as their two practice rooms and has all the household facilities.
"sit down."
After inviting the five girls in front of him to sit down, Li Xianzhe took out a pile of food from the snack cabinet and placed it on the table in front of the girls.
Bae Joo Hyun, Son Seung Hwan, Park Soo Young, Kang Seul Gi, Kim Ye Rin, and Lee Hyun Chul brought together the upcoming Red Velet members for the first time.
"In total, except for Jin Yilin, this is the second time we have met the four of you."
"The third time." Two of them said at the same time.
"How have you been practicing recently?" Deliberately ignoring someone's resentful look, Li Xianzhe took the initiative to find a topic and asked.
“It’s okay~”
The atmosphere was as restrained as in the practice room. The five people faced each other like students facing their teacher. This deep-seated fear made Li Xianzhe very uncomfortable. He didn't understand that when he met them before, even though the two sides didn't say anything,
To the point of talking about everything, but at least it won't be embarrassing.
"What's wrong, big star? Do I look so scary?"
Inadvertently, Li Xianzhe's eyes met Park Soo-young's, and the other person quickly moved away when he saw him.
"Ah Ni~" Seeing Li Xianzhe's face, Park Xiurong shook his head. The impact of Li Xianzhe's identity that prevented her or them from recovering was a factor. The biggest factor was that these five people had been competitors before, and even
Some are contradictory, and some have never met at all.
Suddenly five people were called into an office, which inevitably made them think too much.
"You guys, you really don't need to care about my identity. I have been living overseas before. I don't care about the systems in South Korea. I'm calling you here this time because it's about your debut."
Debut! These two words came out of Li Xianzhe's mouth and the five girls' eyes widened.
So far, S..M's new girl group selection has only been held once. Although they participated, they still don't know the results. However, it is not impossible to successfully debut in one go, unless someone happens to show up.
(Referring to the fact that he joined the company for a short training period, but is very powerful. TVXQ's Park Yoochun and EXO's Byun Baekhyun were both born in the air. Another explanation is that they did not go through the intermediate selection process and were arranged halfway by the senior management.)
However, due to Lee Hyun-cheol's sudden intervention and taking away twelve female trainees of S..M., S..M.'s new girl group plan was aborted.
"Well, Director... President Nim, can we really debut?"
If eyes can kill, especially Bae Joo Hyun, a beautiful girl who has always maintained a "fairy spirit", has bright eyes, as if Lee Hyun Chul will explode if he denies her.
However, some things are already determined by fate...
"Why can't you debut? You five, Kang Seulgi, were the first to enter SM. You practiced for seven years, Bae Joo Hyun for five years, Kim Ye Rim for four years, Park Soo Young and Son Seung Hwan for two years. Judging from the time,
He said that you are basically qualified to participate in the debut selection.
In addition, the reason why I tell you that you can debut is because you are no longer from S..M, but from our Empire Entertainment.
No matter how many seniors are in the company, they must cultivate new girl groups. To some extent, you are also the first girl group launched by Empire Entertainment, and it is also the cornerstone of the company's start in the entertainment industry."
"Then President Nim~ when can we debut?"
Jin Yelin, the youngest, couldn't hide the joy on her face and asked hurriedly.
Pei Zhuhyun secretly tugged at the corner of Jin Yelin's clothes. Why is this 99-year-old girl so blind? Didn't she see that other people hadn't spoken yet?
However, Li Xianzhe could also see her little move clearly.
"August."
"Huh? Lagu? August?"
Originally, they thought it would still be one or two years before their debut. In fact, for them, as long as they can debut or get guarantees from senior management, there will be people who are willing to wait even if they wait a few more years.
But now, April will soon enter, giving them less than half a year to prepare.
When I thought about it, the five of them lost their excitement and became confused. They were on the verge of debut and confused about the unknown after their debut.
"Yes, at this point I must remind you of a few points." Li Xianzhe stopped smiling and signaled the five people to quiet down.
"There are some things I can't tell you too much, but they are related to the starting point of our company and your performance. In the next period of time, you should practice the exercises. Don't discuss anything about S...M, S
..M’s seniors, you can avoid contacting them, and try not to contact them, especially...the boy band!”
Lee Hyun-cheol didn't point it out clearly, but the next incident that will break out in that group is something that he, as well as Lee Soo-man, will have to face.
EXO, this multinational group that has caused a sensation since its debut with twelve members, is more transnational than Super Junior. According to the official setting, the twelve members each have a super power, breaking the record of the number of fans of the South Korean group in China, and debuting
They have all shot independent promotional videos before, which can be said to be a rare large-scale plan for SM and even the entire entertainment industry.
Even the new concept group NCT, which debuted in 2016, cannot compare to EXO in terms of effect and subsequent response.
From the perspective of combining entertainment and business, Lee Hyun-cheol can't fault his father's plan.
The whole group has online appearance and strength, and is qualified to participate in the pursuit of dominance in the Asian market.
Although Li Xianzhe can't say that he particularly likes this group, he doesn't pay special attention to it.
But because it was launched by S..M, and because of the common contract problems in South Korea's entertainment industry, S..M's groups are all born with their own magic. The members cannot have deep feelings for each other like Super Junior.
Coupled with the friction between the two members from their trainee days, this group is also known as "the most unstable boy group in history."
Only two years after their debut, some people began to take the lead in becoming "traitors", choosing to leave the team without warning at the most unacceptable and incomprehensible moment. The following two people directly gave a devastating blow to the stability of the team.
blow.
Although EXO during the nine-member period later also won many honors and titles, in the end, there was still a shining moon missing.
Lee Hyun-cheol would not tell these girls that there would be unrest in SM in May, but he planned to use this incident to let these five people know what the group is most taboo about.
In terms of examples of fan feuds, ostracism within the team, and discord between members, girl groups are no worse than boy groups.
Although he understood it a little late, through this period of time, Li Xianzhe discovered this problem before other brokerage companies and decided to nip it in the bud.
They are immature mentally, have poor endurance, and don't value unity. Why would you let such a combination debut? It will be confused whether it should be confused or it should be finished. Sooner or later it will be finished.
"we know!"
