It can be said that most of the credit for Starlight Entertainment being what it is today is due to Xiao Qian.
Although he is the youngest, he has the strongest say. Even Weng Zhian, who has contributed the most money, is more convinced of him.
Hearing that he had another reason, everyone focused on it.
Xiao Qian looked around, enjoying the feeling of being in the spotlight.
"Let me ask you, do you know what is the most important element of an idol group?"
Everyone shook their heads together. Although everyone had some answers, they always felt that they were not accurate enough, so they simply stopped showing their shame.
"It's a character set."
Xiao Qian was much more determined.
Although he is also a beginner, at least he knows more than these people in front of him.
"Character? What is that?"
Weng Zhian thought for a long time and didn't understand what this word meant.
There are not many times when Xiao Qian can be a teacher.
"Character design means the setting of the character's image. In other words, it is like the characters in movies and TV series. The difference is that the character design is used in idol groups."
It’s a dry explanation, but everyone still doesn’t understand.
He added: "Uncle Weng, let me ask you, what kind of girl do you like?"
Weng Zhian blushed.
It’s hard to tell that the giant shopping mall crocodile is actually an innocent fat man.
"Well, I... I like girls who are gentle and virtuous, who can listen to me, understand my feelings, and can think about me."
Xiao Qian looked at Gu Hui again.
"Uncle Gu, what kind of girl do you think is better?"
Gu Hui kept mumbling for a long time, but he couldn't even say a word. This guy was as stupid as a soldier.
Xiao Qian simply guided her and asked, "Do you like a pure and beautiful girl like Zhou Mingjie?"
Zhou Mingjie is a well-known beauty superstar in Hong Kong and the goddess of countless men. Unfortunately, she married the son of a writer, which made many men sigh with regret.
Gu Hui couldn't speak, but nodded anyway.
It seems that that kind of aloof goddess is really inexplicably attracted to fools like him.
After asking two people in succession, Xiao Qian had the basis for further explanation.
"Have you seen it? It's hard to agree with everyone, and everyone's preferences are different. And what is an idol? An idol is the best embodiment of the perfect image in everyone's mind. But there are so many people in the world, and they all have different preferences.
How to coordinate? This is the meaning of the existence of idol groups. A pure individual artist, because he is alone, cannot do everything. There is always a missing side in his image, so when he gets some people to like him, he will lose another part.
People. But idol groups are different, because they are a group of multiple people, so they can use different images to attract more people and become their fans. What I mean by personality is to
Establish a distinct image for each member of the idol group, so as to be liked by a certain group of people. Now, do you understand?"
As he explained, everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter. Several people even took notes, obviously very interested in this brand-new knowledge.
In fact, Xiao Qian didn't understand these things in her previous life. It was only because she liked idol groups and had more exposure to them that she slowly understood them.
Images such as "Thunderbolt Tiger", "Guaiguai Tiger", "Dancing Machine", "Charisma Man", "Mama Peng'er", "Little Milk Dog", "Energizer" and "Black Pearl" are basically all settings.
It’s just the image that comes out.
Wait until the kakao chat history explodes, darling, let’s start that wonderful journey to prison.
At that time, Xiao Qian had a certain understanding of the people in the idol group.
To put it simply, the agency creates an image based on the different characteristics of the group members in order to attract fans' preferences.
As for the character of the idol himself, it doesn't matter. During the period of being in the group, you have to act well for me.
As for the performance that fails, then it’s over.
Now Xiao Qian brought these contents over and immediately impressed everyone.
"Generally speaking, for the public, there are basically two types of girls' favorite images. One is the image of the sweet, cute, and caring girl next door, with the sweetness of first love. The other is the image of being aloof.
, the elusive goddess.”
The former is my uncle's favorite, and the latter is my dog's dream.
Everyone had nothing to say and could only agree. Who said that their knowledge in relevant aspects was too weak, so they could only listen to Xiao Qian pretending to be a mentor.
"Now that I have made this clear, will my choice be clearer? Everyone sees the characters and images of Wen Yuxin and Leng Xinran. Are they consistent with the settings of Candy Girl and Bingjie Goddess?"
Everyone was stunned and amazed.
If we follow Xiao Qian's theory, Wen Yuxin and Leng Xinran really fit the mold of an idol group.
No, Xu Jiayi suddenly thought of something.
"Mr. Xiao, what about An Dahua? She has nothing to do with either of these, and she is also lacking in strength. Why was she selected?"
Xiao Qian smiled slightly, but what he said shocked everyone.
"An Dahua's character is not for men."
Before everyone could come back to their senses, he added: "What does An Dahua look like in everyone's minds? A tomboy or a tomboy? Doesn't everyone think that such a character is very worrying?"
In the recognition of everyone, Xiao Qian suddenly said: "But think about it, is there always such a person among the little girls, and who makes the little girls very dependent?"
"Hey, it's true."
"You don't know if you don't tell me. It seems like this is really the case."
Xu Mingxia and Xu Jiayi were amazed, recalling that when they were young, it seemed that this was really the case.
In every group of best friends, there is always a person with a cheerful and cheerful personality who becomes the backbone of everyone. Whenever the sisters encounter difficulties or feel sad, such a person always stands up for them and protects them bravely.
.
At that time I didn't think it was anything, but now that I think about it, this is actually a common phenomenon.
Xiao Qianxiao meant something profound.
"Little girls have just begun to have love, and they have reached the age when they have vague feelings for the opposite sex. However, because of the eyes of the outside world and their shy nature, they dare not show it. However, it is human nature to desire love. When there is no way to contact and satisfy it,
Under certain circumstances, they will transfer this emotion to the same sex around them who has the temperament of the opposite sex, thus creating a sense of trust. And An Dahua has a carefree personality and a slightly neutral image. Do you think you will get such girls?
like?"
Lily Dafa is good, and CP’s soul will last forever.
Weng Zhian, Xu Mingxia and others all looked at Xiao Qian who was talking eloquently with complicated expressions. For the first time, they realized that this little kid actually had such a profound insight in his mind.
If he really wanted to form a girl group according to his expectations, wouldn't it mean that all the men and women would be killed in one fell swoop?
After talking about the character issue, Xiao Qian talked about another important factor in choosing An Dahua.
"I got the evaluation report provided by South Korea's SM company. Although An Dahua's singing skills are not the best, her rap is number one."
"RAP? What is that?"
Entertainment company executives don't understand hip-pop. This kind of thing can only happen in the mainland entertainment industry in the 1990s. Two thousand years later, this alone would make people laugh out loud.
Although hip-pop has never become mainstream in the mainland's entertainment and culture market, do you think it is not important?
This is obviously impossible.
In previous lives, if anyone was involved in pop music, hip-pop would definitely be an unavoidable form of music.
So others don't pay much attention to it, but for Xiao Qian, rapping is also an important option in the assessment.
He said he couldn't explain clearly, so Xiao Qian found the video tape and played foreign hip-pop music for everyone, which increased everyone's understanding.
After learning that many of Michael Jackson's musical works, which are very popular abroad, are hip-pop, everyone finally no longer had any objections.
Seeing that he had successfully convinced everyone, Xiao Qian made a decision.
"Well, as the artistic director of Starlight Entertainment, I announce that the selection of our company's first-generation idol group has ended. The debut candidates are Wen Yuxin, Leng Xinran and An Dahua. Director Xu Jiayi, the result is up to you to practice
Let the students announce it. Those who are selected will stay, and those who are not selected can be sent away."
Xu Jiayi hesitated, but finally said it.
"I think it would be a pity for Xu Jingwei and Xi Mengjuan to give up right now. Can they stay and wait for opportunities later?"
Xiao Qian knocked on the table, pondered for a while, and then said: "Xu Jingwei can debut as an independent singer, but she needs to wait for the opportunity. As for Xi Mengjuan, although her dancing is good, she cannot hold up the stage by dancing alone. But her strength
, you can stay as the company’s dance teacher. You can ask their opinions, and the company will respect them no matter what they choose.”
