MBN's aggressive recruitment has brought many unexpected effects.
"Representative, I have a good prospect here. But this person is a bit subtle."
What is this statement?
Xiao Qian was confused.
But since there is a good seedling, he must care about it.
Arriving at the practice room, Xiao Qian saw people and finally understood what Cui Junrong meant.
There is a girl standing in the middle of the practice room. She is not short, almost 1.66 meters tall. She has a round face, grape-like eyes, and a typical cherry mouth that adds a bit of cuteness.
If you just have this appearance, you are more than enough to be an artist. Although there are shortcomings, they can be corrected.
The real subtlety is the girl's figure.
Let’s call it fat. It’s definitely not fat. It can only be described as hot. It should be convex and curly. At the same time, because of the convexity and curvature, the curves of the body are very exaggerated.
But let’s just say I’m not fat, I definitely can’t debut as an idol with this figure.
As a woman, she is really coveted. But to be an idol is too much.
This kind of figure will have a proper name in the future, light mature.
Xiao Qian also knew a girl with such a mature figure.
What he is curious about is...
"Hong Jinyingxi, haven't you already debuted? Why are you here?"
That's right, the girl who appeared in front of Xiao Qian was none other than Hong Jinying, the future top singer in Tort. In Xiao Qian's impression, Hong Jinying made her debut in a TV series in 2006.
Why did you come to MBN to be a trainee?
Like all girls of this era, Hong Zhenying was very excited and dizzy when she saw Xiao Qian.
"The original company planned to put me and two other girls into a group, but something went wrong and my contract ended. I heard that MBN was planning a girl group, so I wanted to give it a try."
Xiao Qian suddenly realized, but she had other ideas.
Just like his first acquaintance with Hong Jinying, this girl is definitely the seed of a high-quality artist, both in image and personality, but she is definitely not suitable for an idol group.
If it was just MBN, then Xiao Qian could only say sorry to Hong Jinying. But there was also Big Hit. Since he met Hong Jinying, of course he had to digest it internally.
But it still needs to be paved.
Xiao Qian acted as the interviewer.
"Can you perform a little bit? Sing first, then dance."
Of course Hong Jinying has no objection. Since she is here for an interview, how can she be admitted if she doesn't show her ability?
The interview was just a pretense, Xiao Qian didn't care, and said: "Just choose the songs you are good at."
Hong Jinying felt slightly relieved and ran over to choose an old song. After singing, she danced to "I'm your girl" by L.E.S.
Once everything is done, the rest is left to fate.
Hong Zhenying stood obediently and stared at Xiao Qian nervously, fearing that the word "No" would come out of Xiao Qian's mouth.
She had no idea what Xiao Qian was going to say and it had nothing to do with her performance.
"Hong Jinyingxi, there is nothing wrong with your singing and dancing skills. But..."
Xiao Qian stretched out his hands and made a gesture of body shape.
"Can I lose weight?"
When Xiao Qian said the word "but", Hong Zhenying couldn't breathe. But she didn't expect that what Xiao Qian said was such a question.
She nodded wildly without hesitation and vowed: "I will work hard to lose weight."
Xiao Qian didn't believe it at all.
It's not like he has never seen it in his previous life, so he is more convinced than Hong Jinying herself.
"Although I am not a medical expert, according to my observation, your body shape is caused by bones and body fat. In this case, there is no way to change it by losing weight."
Hong Zhenying couldn't listen at all, because she had never heard of Xiao Qian's statement. Even if she wanted to eliminate herself, she didn't need to use such a strange reason, right?
She still wanted to argue a few words, but Xiao Qian spoke faster.
"And your figure, if you really lose weight, won't actually look good."
"yeah?"
Hong Jinying was dumbfounded on the spot.
She was clearly commenting on her figure, but she didn't know what Xiao Qian meant.
Isn’t the requirement for artists just to be thin?
Why can't I lose weight now that I'm here?
But none of this mattered anymore, because Xiao Qian's next words were like holy light shining on Hong Zhenying's confused heart.
"Hong Jinyingxi, my advice to you is that you are more suitable to be a solo singer."
For people like Hong Jinying who have experienced debuting, failing, debuting again, and failing again, as long as they can debut and gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, it is fine. As for the form of being an artist, it is not important to her.
In a sense, solo singers are better than idol singers.
Idol singers have to compete with so many teammates for attention and resources, but solo singers don't have this kind of trouble. Everything belongs to them, and the focus will only be on themselves.
Hong Jinying smiled brightly, looking a bit like a pistachio afterward.
"Representing nim, can I really become a solo singer?"
Xiao Qian is very direct.
"If you are an ordinary solo singer, your advantages are not obvious. But if you are a tort singer, you should be able to find a successful path."
Hong Jinying hesitated.
"Tort singer? Is it really possible?"
How can any Korean not know about Tort, and Tort has historically been the mainstream in the Korean music industry. But after all, times have changed, and now even pop singers lack stamina and have given way to idol singers.
Is there really a future as a Tort singer?
Xiao Qian gave her some popular science.
"Don't look down on Tort. Although it seems that the music industry is now dominated by idol singers, Tort is still the dominant player in the vast rural areas and middle-aged and elderly people. And really speaking of consumption power, how can young people compare with middle-aged and elderly people?
Besides, if you take the Tort route, you are not exactly the same as a traditional Tort singer. Strictly speaking, you can take the Tort idol route."
Hong Jinying is not a traditional Tort singer to begin with. Her style is basically a fusion of Tort singers and pop singers.
In this era when Tort's influence is insufficient, its decline is inevitable. If you don't make appropriate improvements, you will fall into a trap.
These things Xiao Qian told Hong Zhenying were very useful because Hong Zhenying was from Gwangju.
Although it is also a metropolitan city in South Korea, it is only a place after all, and traditional culture has a bigger market than Seoul. Hong Jinying has personally experienced the popularity Tort has received in society.
If you were to tell this to a child in Seoul, it would definitely not be recognized.
Hong Jinyoung really doesn’t have many choices.
Successive debut failures made her feel in crisis. Any opportunity was a life-saving straw for her.
If you want to be a Tort singer, just be a Tort singer. You can make your debut first before talking about other things.
"I will follow the representative's arrangements."
After recruiting another promising artist, Xiao Qian was in a good mood and immediately started making plans for Hong Jinying.
"The first thing you need to do now is plastic surgery."
Hong Jinying's smile froze.
“As far as I know, doesn’t Big Hit not require artists to have plastic surgery?”
Xiao Qian's attitude was very firm.
"Your face is very round, but your nose is too flat, which doesn't look good visually. But if your nose is straightened up, it will look very attractive."
After becoming famous in her previous life, Hong Jin Young was liked by many people for her fiery figure, energetic personality, and bright appearance.
The finishing touch is the change of the nose.
For people with round faces, the nose must not be equally round, otherwise it will look swollen like a steamed bun. But if you change it to a pretty nose shape, the appearance will become more three-dimensional and more in line with aesthetics.
Even if Xiao Qian no longer advocates plastic surgery for artists, there is nothing you can do if you really have flaws.
Hong Zhenying was stunned for a moment and took in all Xiao Qian's words. She knew that Xiao Qian was right, and she also had a certain understanding of her previous failure.
"I'll do it."
Xiao Qian was worried and said: "The plastic surgery company will arrange it for you. No matter what, safety is the most important thing."
Hong Jinying's heart warmed up and she believed in the company even more.
In February, Wonder Girls debuted.
This seemed to be a signal, and SM immediately accelerated its planning for the new group.
It is not difficult to understand that SM Company would be anxious.
In the past, they have always been at the forefront in the idol industry. This is the first time that SM's planning has lagged behind other companies.
Although this is just the first time, this signal is very bad.
This means that SM has lost its leading position in the field of idol planning and will not be able to seize more idol markets in the future.
In fact, this is also true.
Girls' Generation is SM's pinnacle in the field of idol groups, and EXO is the final glory.
Then SM began to go down a wrong path when it came to idol groups, and the content they produced became increasingly incomprehensible.
