Xiao Qian's casual words set Park Mingxiu's life back to its original path.
However, his virtue is actually that he can only be a gagman, and he is a born gagman.
Let him become an idol singer, and Korean entertainment companies will be blind.
For his face, even the most skilled plastic surgeons couldn't do it.
After a whole day of trainee selection, Xiao Qian only recognized An Shenghao and Zhang Youhe. As for the other three people in HOT, they were not among this group.
Maybe they're not in the same group, maybe they haven't joined SM yet.
However, this time's observation had a huge impact on everyone at Starlight Entertainment.
The singing and dancing that they are proud of are really not enough in front of these Korean trainees who are working hard.
"So you have all seen, how much room for improvement you still have. Don't be arrogant, study and practice hard, and you will shine even more brightly in the future."
Before coming here, everyone at Starlight Entertainment was extremely arrogant, but now they are all honest and teachable.
I was trapped in the SM project and began to receive reprimands from the teachers in the company. I was often disgraced.
However, even if this is the case, it also makes the trainees of SM Entertainment extremely envious. Because for them, beatings and corporal punishment are common things.
Originally, the teachers of SM Planning also planned to treat the trainees from Starlight Entertainment in this way, but they were stopped by Starlight Entertainment's manager.
Our company does not do this and does not allow you to do so.
This made the SM Project teachers very angry and felt that their authority had been challenged. On the surface, they did not dare to say anything, but behind the scenes they inevitably slacked off a lot in their teaching.
However, this situation did not last long.
When Xiao Qian took them to the Mulan Restaurant in Yeonhui-dong in Mapo for a luxurious Chinese meal, the attitudes of these teachers immediately changed 180 degrees. Their attitudes towards the Starlight Entertainment trainees even
Better than our own company.
This Mulan Restaurant is not a branch of the Xiao family, but the property of Chef Li Lianfu, Korea's top Chinese cuisine chef.
In the field of Korean food and beverage management, there are two famous chefs who are the most amazing.
One is Baek Jong-won and the other is Li Lianfu.
Baek Jong-won may not be the best in cooking, but he is better in spiritual realm.
He is always able to use his influence to help people in all aspects of catering and beverage management solve problems, giving many people a new look at their difficult lives and bad businesses.
It is a bit exaggerated to say that thousands of families have Buddhas, but their great spiritual realm deserves admiration.
Chef Li Lianfu specializes in excellence.
Along with Chinese cuisine, he has spent decades painstakingly studying and polishing, drawing on the strengths of others, and his skills have reached the pinnacle, living up to the reputation of a great master.
However, the current reputation of Chef Li Lianfu has not yet been revealed, and it is only widely spread among gourmets.
Therefore, although the business of his Mulan Restaurant was good, it was not as exaggerated as it was later.
Xiao Qian remembered that after Li Lianfu appeared on the show in his previous life, he could not eat at his Mulan restaurant unless he made a reservation three months in advance.
Now that I have the opportunity, of course I can’t let it pass. I have also developed a close relationship with the staff of SM Planning, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Xiao Qian also met Chef Li Lianfu who was sweating profusely in the kitchen. He was polite to him, established a friendship, and even got Li Lianfu's personal contact information.
If you come here to eat here in the future, you probably won’t have to queue.
The trainees from Starlight Entertainment came here for the single purpose of learning and strengthening, but Xiao Qian was even busier.
In this era, the Korean entertainment and culture industry is making great strides and is about to usher in its golden age.
There is a lot worth learning if you peek through the tube.
In the days that followed, he immersed himself in SM planning, communicating with Yu Yongjin, Lee Sooman and others, and learned pop music production techniques from these people.
The staff he brought over from Starlight Entertainment also filled all levels of SM planning, learning how other entertainment companies operate.
In particular, SM Planning’s training and selection system for trainees amazes these people and makes them study hard.
Compared to the size of the company, Starlight Entertainment is actually bigger, and looks like a giant dragon in front of SM's planning.
It's just that this giant dragon is new, with a weak foundation and a bad environment. It's hard to predict what it will develop into in the future.
Now that I have gained the experience of the forerunners, it is really like a dragon absorbing water. On the surface, nothing can be seen, but in fact, the transformation inside can be described as shaking the earth.
As the leader of this group of people, Xiao Qian has more to learn.
Of course, in Weng Zhian's eyes, he seemed to be just being lazy.
"Oh, why are you sitting here watching TV?"
Xiao Qian pulled him and sat down with him.
"Come and take a look. This is a Korean TV show singing songs. How does it compare with domestic stages?"
Weng Zhian sat down sideways, took a look, and said doubtfully: "Isn't this the same as a domestic party? Is there any difference?"
Xiao Qian shook her head and explained to him.
"This is an exclusive song program launched by South Korea's SBS TV station, called Inkigayo. This program has no other performances and is only for singers to perform. Usually singers who have released albums perform on stage to promote themselves. What do you think?
How about this model?”
When he said this, Weng Zhian also became interested.
"Hey, it's specifically for promoting singers? That's weird."
It’s not that domestic singers don’t have the opportunity to perform on stage, but those are all kinds of evening parties.
It's not that the stage is not big enough, but the problem is that the time is not fixed. Some singers can catch up by chance, but some can't.
Others may not care, but as the boss of an entertainment company, Weng Zhian is very concerned about the promotion of his artists.
So the two company bosses got together and watched "Inkigayo".
Unlike Weng Zhian who looks at novelties, Xiao Qian focuses on more things.
"Uncle Weng, look, no one in China can think of this method of turning the camera."
Xiao Qian pointed to the TV, where it was the fire truck's turn to perform.
One of the people faced the camera, stretched out his hands, circled them like a screen, and twisted it suddenly, and the entire TV screen rotated 360 degrees, looking extremely gorgeous.
Weng Zhian was shocked when he saw it.
"Hey, how did you do this? Is Korean stage design so amazing?"
Xiao Qian laughed and revealed the truth to him.
"This technique is not that difficult. The camera just throws the camera out and spins it in a circle. The difficulty mainly lies in the speed and stability of the rotation. Cameras with insufficient power cannot do it."
Weng Zhian was really envious as he watched groups of singers taking the stage one after another, giving dazzling performances one after another.
"Such a program is really good. It gives singers a chance to promote themselves. It would be great if it was available in China. It's a pity, it's a pity."
Xiao Qian smiled.
"What's the pity about this? No, we'll just make it."
Weng Zhian didn't know why.
"How to do it? We don't have a TV station."
But this time there was no need for Xiao Qian to continue explaining, he reacted immediately.
"Oh, Xiaoqian, you mean to cooperate with Modutai?"
After all, he wasn't too stupid, but Xiao Qian still shook his head.
"Not necessarily. The audience of Modu Channel is too limited, and the publicity effect is slightly worse. If it were CCTV, the problem would be easier to solve."
"CCTV?"
Weng Zhian scratched his head a little.
"Can it be done?"
Xiao Qian also scratched his head.
"Try it."
To be honest, he couldn't guarantee whether it would work or not.
He knew that this would be a good program, but the problem is that CCTV does not produce programs based on the quality of the program as the only criterion.
As a national television station, it has other considerations of its own.
In fact, in Xiao Qian's opinion, it is more appropriate for programs like "Inkigayo" to be placed on provincial channels. After all, the entertainment aspect is highlighted and there will be less worries.
But the problem is that the provincial TV stations of this era have not yet launched stars, and the audience is too small, so it will not be influential if it is launched.
Alas, in the final analysis, it is still the limitation of technological development.
Xiao Qian has long said that whether the entertainment and culture industry is strong or not is actually a matter of technology, which is evident from this.
But he can't care about that much for the time being, and these are not things he can solve.
After staying in South Korea for more than a month, Xiao Qian spent more time inspecting and studying.
For this reason, he even personally participated in the production of Hyun Jin Young's third album "Int. World Beat And Hip Hop Of New Dance 3", and finally mastered the technology of how to create a formal album.
Only after achieving this step can he truly enter the threshold of a modern pop music producer.
