"Cultures are only distinguished by their characteristics, not by superiority or inferiority. Korea has its own characteristics, so there is no need to blindly follow European and American culture."
Xiao Qian rarely expressed his opinion and also rejected "u" as the title song of L.E.S.
Someone in the team was dissatisfied and argued: "But Europe and the United States are very advanced, shouldn't we learn from them?"
Xiao Qian was helpless.
"What you are talking about is called civilization, not culture."
The group of people burst into laughter and suddenly realized that what Xiao Qian said was right.
Civilization and culture are indeed two different things.
Xiao Qian was unable to complain about Koreans' belief in American culture as their norm.
"European and American styles are not necessarily the best. There is only one criterion for whether a cultural work is popular, and that is whether the work itself is good or not. It has nothing to do with style."
He also used "u" as material.
"The style of this song, let alone being released in Korea, would not be popular even in Europe and the United States."
It has always been said that European and American music is different, but anyone who pays much attention to pop music will know that music that is popular in Europe and the United States is basically popular in Asia, and music that is not popular in Asia is basically also popular in Europe and the United States.
Fuzzy.
This comes from the nature of music.
Music is an auditory thing. Although people around the world have different cultures and languages, the melody of music has its own rules. Human beings have exactly the same sense of whether a melody is good or bad.
The problem with SM is that it blindly promotes some unique music styles and names them as European and American styles, thinking that it can open up the market and become unique.
But in fact, most of SM's attempts ended in failure.
shinee, f(x) is the product of exceptional failure.
Interestingly, the members of the two groups all achieved extraordinary results when working alone.
This is enough to prove that the tepidness of these two combinations is not a problem of the strength of the members, but that there is a deviation in the planning direction of SM Company.
Don’t underestimate the impact of Shinee and f(x)’s failed planning.
It was from these two groups that SM gradually lost its dominance in the field of idol groups and was surpassed by other companies.
Later, exo was able to make a comeback, but it lacked stamina. After that, red, velvet and nct were really outclassed by everyone.
If SM had not attracted a large group of top variety talents, expanded its territory in the field of variety shows, and almost achieved a monopoly, I am afraid that the entire company would have lost its status.
Now, what Xiao Qian has to do is to bring the deviated plan back to its original position.
“Let’s make this song the main feature.”
Since the entire album's theme of women in the workplace remains unchanged, Xiao Qian chose a very appropriate song.
"fly high" by Mina.
This is a very unpopular song, not many people know it, and it is not as famous as her "Phone Love".
But this song is actually very good in terms of melody, dance, and overall planning.
The reason why she is not popular is simply because she was overexerted by Mina's sex appeal.
The deepest impression this song left on Xiao Qian was the vigorous dance of a group of beauties in professional attire.

The deep V shirt collar, the short skirt with high slits reaching the top of the legs, and the combination of black stockings and high heels made him understand the definition of uniform temptation for the first time.
But no matter what, the content of this song is still very positive and sunny, and it also fits the definition of hard work for people in the workplace.
I just need to make some more modifications in the dance and costumes. If it is used as the title song of L.E.S., it will definitely be much better than the inexplicable "U".
As soon as the demo was released, Yu Yongzhen and others were conquered.
As Xiao Qian said, a good song is a good song, and it has little to do with the style.
People in 2020 listen to "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" and admit that it is a classic and good song.
If people in 1985 listened to "Big Bowl of Wide Noodles", would it not be garbage?
Nothing.
"You guys come up with the music first, and I'll leave the recording work to you. As for the dance, I will finish it as soon as possible."
Xiao Qian decided that the dance of "fly high" should be changed. But he was not a dance expert, so he needed to ask others for help.
Among the powerful female choreographers he knew, one was Xi Mengjuan and the other was Pei Yunjing in her formative years.
After much thought, Xi Mengjuan is more suitable.
Pei Yunjing's choreographic ideas still rely too much on the beauty of women's own lines.
To put it bluntly, Pei Yunjing's choreography is too sensual and sexy. In fact, Xiao Qian doesn't like it very much.
For example, she choreographed "One Minute, One Second" for Park Ji-yeon. Maybe it would be better to change the dance style.
It just so happens that Xi Mengjuan is coming to perform in a cultural exchange event in a few days, and she can help him complete the choreography work.
On the "China-Korea Song Contest" broadcast on November 7, Xi Mengjuan performed an amazing dance, which also aroused great repercussions in South Korea.
In view of this momentum, South Korea extended an invitation to her.
During this trip to South Korea, Xi Mengjuan may have to attend more than ten events.
When Xiao Qian came out of the recording studio, she failed and was intercepted by Wen Xijun.
"Director Nim, can I ask you a favor?"
Xiao Qian was confused.
"What's up?"
Wen Xijun rubbed his hands, feeling quite embarrassed.
"Well, the company asked me to take charge of creating a girl group. I think you are the king of the producer field, so I want to ask you to help me control it."
"Hey, you can become a producer?"
Xiao Qian was surprised. Out of curiosity, she followed Wen Xijun to the practice room.
When we arrived at the place, we saw four teenage girls practicing diligently. At first glance, they were all very beautiful.
However, there is not much else in SM company, only handsome men and beautiful women. Xiao Qian is not surprised.
"Children, come here and introduce me to you."
Wen Xijun clapped his hands and called all the girls in front of him.
"This is Director Xiao Qian who created our hot, and is also the producer of Turbo, Li Zhenxian, and Li Xiuying. Whether you can succeed or not, the board of directors will give the most accurate judgment."
After hearing Xiao Qian's identity, the four girls all showed surprised expressions despite being nymphomaniacs.
Seeing Xiao Qian's face, they thought he was the ace trainee of SM Company.
I have long heard that the company is secretly planning a hot second-generation group. If a boy like this is among them, it will be difficult for this group not to become popular.
But he didn't expect that this was the legendary Director Xiao Qian.
Wen Xijun stood next to the four girls, just like the madam introducing the girls.
"Director Nim, how are you? The children are pretty good, right?"
Xiao Qian's head is covered with black lines.
"They didn't perform anything, how do I know if it's good or not?"
Really, if you just look at your face, there are too many people who deserve to be popular.
The entertainment industry is not just about appearance.
At the same time, he was also puzzled because he couldn't remember what combination SM had launched during this period in history.
But as soon as Moon Heejun introduced the group members, he reacted.
"This is Park Hee-bon, this is Kim Bo-mi, and this is Bae Yu-mi."
There was one little girl left, the youngest, timidly hiding at the end. If Wen Xijun hadn't pulled her, Xiao Qian wouldn't have seen it.
"This is the group's youngest member, Seo Hyun Jin."
Xiao Qian finally knew who these people were.
This is a glimpse of m.i.l.k in the history of SM company!
Even people who know a lot about Korean entertainment may not know the existence of m.i.l.k.
Because the history of this group was too short, they disbanded after only releasing one album.
Not to mention compared to those popular groups from the same company, even compared to a group like Tianshang Zhixi, they are the most pitiful.
The reason why Xiao Qian still has an impression deep in his memory is because Seo Hyun-jin, the maknae of the group, turned around in the future and actually ascended to the throne of the TV queen and became a famous actor.
At this time, Xiao Qian's eyes were also focused on Xu Xianzhen.
The fate of this girl, who is only one character different from Xu Xian, cannot be compared with that of her descendants.
Her road to stardom was really bumpy and bumpy, and she almost died several times.
After M.I.L.K was disbanded, others could still find their own way out, but Seo Hyun-jin was trapped in SM company for four full years due to contract issues.
How many four years can we delay in life?
It wasn't until 2006 that Seo Hyun-jin got the opportunity to star in a musical, and her acting talent was developed.
As a result, from 2006 to 2016, for ten years, Xu Xianzhen worked hard step by step, never afraid of hardship, and never complained. It was not until the popularity of "Oh Hae Young Again" that she became famous
Soaring to the sky, it was recognized.
Although m.i.l.k was just born at the wrong time, the four members are all talented people. But in Xiao Qian's mind, the only one worthy of his attention is Xu Xianzhen.
When he looked at Xu Xianzhen, his eyes were full of two words.
