Chapter 196 College Planning
A week passed quickly, and time climbed through February and came to March. The temperature in Seoul gradually warmed up. Although the average daily temperature was not too high, the warm sunshine became more and more, and people finally felt the arrival of spring.
And Zheng Xiuheng's spring has naturally arrived. Whether it is the gentle and smart Han Ga-in or the "look at my bad temper" cousin Hyo-ri, because the two are very close to his life, it seems that spring has indeed arrived.
But in fact, since a week ago, when Han Ga-in brought breakfast down and found Lee Hyo-ri was also at Jung Soo-heng's house, her expression was wonderful. Jung Soo-heng also forgot about this and looked very embarrassed, and the same was true for Lee Hyo-ri.
But to their surprise, Han Ga In walked straight up to Lee Hyo Ri and said very seriously, "Lee Hyo Ri, I fell in love with him first, so I will never give up!"
This line, which was almost like a declaration of war, did shock Zheng Xiuheng. This time, he didn't have to feel anything, and he could see Han Ga-in's feelings for him, which made him feel a little complicated.
However, Lee Hyo-ri's response made Jung Soo-heng very angry. If Han Ga-in and Lee Hyo-ri were friends and knew each other for a long time, she probably wouldn't say anything. But in fact, she didn't know Han Ga-in at all. She could tell the attitude of this woman towards Jung Soo-heng as soon as they met. It was because she thought that this woman knew Jung Soo-heng earlier and Jung Soo-heng said that she was very good that she felt pressured and chose to stay that night.
So when Lee Hyo-ri saw Han Ga-in declaring war so seriously, she had no patience at all and directly displayed her queenly momentum and replied domineeringly: "I have taken his virginity, so what if you loved him first!"
Lee Hyori didn't want to show how much she loved Jung Soo-hyung, she was just simply unhappy, so she was so angry with Han Ga-in. As a result, Han Ga-in was really angry and very sad at the same time. The sad look she gave Jung Soo-hyung made him feel helpless.
But no matter how helpless he was, this was also a situation that Zheng Xiuheng had thought about, so Zheng Xiuheng decisively took Han Ga In back upstairs and simply told her about the situation between him and Lee Hyo Ri, except that the illness had turned into drunken sex, which made Han Ga In's emotions much more stable and her expression relaxed a little.
After explaining to Han Ga In, Zheng Xiuheng returned home again. Facing the somewhat angry Lee Hyo Ri, he directly told her about himself and Han Ga In, and that was all .
However, after Lee Hyori moved back to the house next to Jung Soo-heng and became his neighbor, the three of them would always meet in the morning. Of course, this was also the reason why Lee Hyori had no announcements these days. The relationship between the two and Jung Soo-heng did not change much. If I really had to say something, Lee Hyori and Jung Soo-heng quarreled less often, but they fought more often. Now, when Lee Hyori, the fake cousin, faces Jung Soo-heng, she gets physical as soon as she's unhappy. Of course, if Han Ga-in is not around, she prefers to curse.
Although the two had sex again, Lee Hyori did not propose anything else. Instead, Jung Soo-heng spoke to Lee Hyori a little more normally during those days, which made Lee Hyori extremely uncomfortable. As a result, the sister intensified her troubles with Jung Soo-heng, which made Jung Soo-heng unbearable and started the confrontation mode again.
As a result, Zheng Xiuheng discovered that although Lee Hyori was always quarreling with him, the elder sister seemed to enjoy it unexpectedly. Zheng Xiuheng didn't know whether this was abnormal or she deliberately did this to relieve stress. Zheng Xiuheng could only think that Lee Hyori preferred this kind of relationship.
The only thing Zheng Xiuheng didn't understand was what Lee Hyori really thought of him. After what had happened, it was as if nothing had happened to Lee Hyori, and she never told Zheng Xiuheng about it. This made Zheng Xiuheng a little doubtful. Was he thinking too much? Maybe she just had a good impression of him?
But in the end, Zheng Xiuheng rejected this idea. After all, from the hostility between Lee Hyori and Han Ga In, it can be seen that she really likes him.
With two women liking him at the same time, Zheng Xiuheng naturally felt that spring had come. However, every time the two met at his home, the atmosphere was so freezing that Zheng Xiuheng could no longer bear it. In the end, he simply confiscated Lee Hyori's keys, and then started to work hard for his career from morning till night. He only felt a little relieved in the past two days, while Lee Hyori was going to Jeju Island to shoot a commercial.
As for Han Ga In, she reported back to the company under Zheng Xiuheng's persuasion. Of course, her residence did not change, but Han Ga In found that this was not a good way to go. She met Zheng Xiuheng basically in the morning every day , and occasionally saw him in the evening. The rest of the time, Zheng Xiuheng was working hard for his career.
The most important thing is that every time Han Ga In saw Lee Hyori talking to Jung Soo-heng about the future of the company and the selection meeting in front of her, she felt like an outsider and couldn't get a word in.
As a result, Han Ga-in began to change her mind. She wanted to not only be Zheng Xiuheng's good wife, but also help him in his career. Finally, she chose to return to the agency and continue her acting career. However, she also agreed with Zheng Xiuheng that after the remaining one year of the contract, she would sign a contract with Zheng Xiuheng's company. Zheng Xiuheng thought about it and nodded. As for what would happen after one year, if the company developed smoothly, Zheng Xiuheng would definitely not refuse.
Although the house became a little quiet after both of them returned to work, Zheng Xiuheng was also busy every day, so he didn't feel lonely this time.
In this circle, if you have a lot of free time, it only proves that you are still a long way from success.
On this sunny spring day, a heated discussion was taking place in the Antenna Family's meeting room.
"L!"
"This name is a bit ugly. Besides, isn't this project a bit too large? Although idol culture in Japan and South Korea is becoming more and more mainstream and developing faster and faster, the largest group in South Korea now has only a dozen members. Unlike the situation in Japan, the success rate of this kind of large-scale idol group project is really low!" Zheng Dongren is the former representative of Antenna. Although the company has not developed well, it does not mean that he really does not understand business at all. When Zheng Xiuheng proposed the Antenna Academy project three days ago, the four of them had been huddled in the office for three days of intense discussion.
Zheng Xiuheng, who was wearing a fleece shirt, sat aside and scratched his head with a pen. Looking at the three giants' entangled expressions, he said firmly: "No, no, no, we can't link this project with large female idol groups like AKB48 in Japan. Korean culture and Japanese culture are very different. First of all, the theater model will never succeed in Korea."
"And from the analysis of AKB48 in the past few days, we can see that this group also had a very difficult time at the beginning, but relied on its increasingly precise status, satisfied the psychological needs of fans, and selected some girls who were ordinary people to form the team, and gradually achieved success. This method is impossible to replicate in Korea!"
"And in the Korean entertainment industry, being ordinary means failure! "
In Korea a few years ago, groups like SES, HOT, and GOD were not defined as idols and generally still performed as singers or singer groups.
However, with the development of idol culture in recent years, South Korea has already defined the term "Idol" in the past two years. If the female idol group that has emerged in Japan in the past two years and has broken the world record is still developing and the number of members has become larger, but this group is loved by many audiences even if you are so ordinary that only cuteness remains, then you are likely to be chosen by the planner to become one of the members.
But in Korea, if you want to become an idol and debut successfully, if you are ordinary and just liked by some people, you will definitely not be able to debut.
Even in today's idol groups, not everyone has great singing and dancing skills, but there is a most basic standard in all aspects.
And the more basic standard is a good face.
Zheng Zaixing replied with some doubt: "Then have you thought of any good ideas?"
The four of them discussed it for three days, but there is still no result. In fact, all four of them are very troubled, and Zheng Xiuheng is also fully committed to this matter.
Because the company has no foundation, it is no problem to do small things with the three giants. But if it wants to go big and develop into an entertainment company of that status, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by doing small things and developing step by step.
Zheng Xiuheng looked a little tired at the moment. He opened the notebook beside him and said to the three people, "A large idol planning group doesn't necessarily have to be active together, or even a group. My idea is to establish L as a specific idol brand!"
"Idol brand?" The three were a little confused. It seemed that this was another thing Zheng Xiuheng had tinkered with yesterday. However, they were still very happy that Zheng Xiuheng cared so much about the company's affairs.
Zheng Xiuheng nodded and replied with a little excitement: "Based on the current development and standards of Korean idols, the general direction of the future entertainment industry is already foreseeable. In this direction, they are already ahead of all planning agencies, especially in terms of overseas exports. Both BoA and TVXQ are very popular in Japan. In this year alone, there are several more groups that debuted. The development of idol groups is already a reality in the future!"
"So, putting aside the music aspect for now, the company will definitely do something with idol artists. But with the company's current strength and influence, even if there are no obstacles in development, it is basically impossible to achieve success as soon as the group is launched. Especially to achieve that kind of explosive popularity, it is difficult to achieve rapid development without excellent works and packaging or accumulation of time!"
Zheng Xiuheng picked up the teacup and took a sip of water, then continued, "So, the formulation of this kind of trainee idol project is not just about the advantage in numbers, and then satisfying the different needs of fans. On the contrary, what I need is not to satisfy the needs of fans, but to throw the project out through the most hype-like publicity methods, and then use high-quality trainees as the foundation, launch the first group and achieve absolute success, so that the public's attention can be attracted to the project itself!"
"And the essence of this project is... a cruel elimination system and public participation!"
