Chapter 230 Come to my office
"Really?"
"Can we really join the debut project?"
In the practice room, Choi Ji-na and others were stunned by what Zheng Xiuheng had just announced, especially Kim Yoo-jin, whose eyes turned red, and Kim Hyo-rin also had an expression of disbelief on her face.
As for Kim Chae-kyung, who was hired by Zheng Xiuheng a few days ago, he looked at the four people with envy and disappointment. As for Park Ji-yeon, she didn't care much. Although she was arranged by President Zheng Xiuheng to learn dancing and singing, he also arranged for her to take some basic courses in an acting school. Anyway, she wanted to be an actor.
As for Lee Ji-eun, she is not here. There are a total of seven trainees in the company now. Lee Ji-eun is the most special one. She basically receives music literacy training throughout the whole process. The three giants also take turns teaching her. The three of them really do it according to Zheng Xiuheng's requirements. Except for Park Ji-yeon who wants to be an actor, everyone else is very envious of Lee Ji-eun's treatment.
However, all envy at this moment is false, because Zheng Xiuheng pointed out that the company will establish a large family-style artist group Antenna Academy. As long as you are selected into the academy, you can be guaranteed an 80% chance of debuting. Zheng Xiuheng just read out the first batch of candidates and explained that a girl group will be formed in the second half of the year to debut.
Those who have been selected into the program are Choi Ji-na, Jeon Hyo-sung, Kim Yoo-jin, and Kim Hyo-rin, so the expressions on their faces are very interesting. At this time, they all have similar thoughts, that is, happiness comes too suddenly.
Looking at the four excited girls, Zheng Xiuheng's gaze turned to Jin Zaijing, who was standing aside with his head down and looking a little lost.
This girl introduced to the company by Kim Hyun-ah was different from what Zheng Xiuheng had imagined . When they first met at the company, he found that her figure was better than what Kim Hyun-ah had described. She was about 1.7 meters tall even in flat shoes, with a well-developed chest and slender legs, giving people a body shape that was close to being plump. But it was just a little short, so she gave people a more healthy and sexy beauty.
But if we talk about appearance alone, she is indeed not as delicate as Choi Ji-na, nor is she a pure Korean beauty like Park Ji-yeon. However, her face shape is not the V-shaped face commonly seen on the streets of Korea. It is a little rounder, but her facial features are still distinct. It is not too good when viewed alone, but when you add the shape, the overall quality is relatively high.
Then Zheng Xiuheng assessed her dancing and singing skills, and was quite satisfied, so he accepted her.
Zheng Xiuheng's mentality has changed a lot now. He may poach people, but he doesn't think of it as begging people. Instead, after understanding the situation, he understands that he is giving others opportunities. Of course, there may be people who look down on his company, but Zheng Xiuheng doesn't care about that. After all, he is just an ordinary trainee. No matter how high his vision is, he is still far away from success and his position.
Although Zheng Xiuheng is not a hypocrite in the company, he is much more serious and is a little more casual with the two little girls.
"Don't be too happy. The project hasn't been fully launched yet, and the company is going to hold a selection meeting. If there are better and more outstanding candidates than you, you may be replaced. As for Zai Jingxi, don't be too disappointed, because you have just joined the company. So you are not included in the plan for the time being, but the number of people in this project should be five to eight, so there will still be internal selection. Just work hard now. In addition, even if you don't join this group project, as long as you can join the academy, you will definitely get a chance to debut in the future!"
"Because there are not many trainees in the company right now, you will be directly exposed to these things. Make good use of the opportunity now. After the selection meeting, all the projects will be made public. Only then will you face real competition. So be nervous now and work harder !"
"Boss, am I included?" Park Ji-yeon raised her hand and asked. She didn't want to practice dancing. She was thinking, "I want to be an actress!"
Zheng Xiuheng glanced at her and smiled, "Of course, in the future, whether it's a singer or an actor, as long as they are trainees of this company, they will debut through the academy, so first you have to reach that standard, then you will have the opportunity to do what you want!"
Park Ji-yeon's little face also became nervous. She had never thought that she would have to learn so many things on the road to becoming an actor.
After listening to the president's words, Kim Jae Kyung felt a little stronger. To be honest, after failing the JYP girl group selection, she had the idea of leaving. It happened that DSP girl group project was also holding an open audition, and she also participated, but failed again. However, DSP wanted to keep her as a trainee. Kim Jae Kyung originally tended to go to DSP, but Kim Hyun-A found her and gave her an opinion.
Everything else was fake, just eight words - "Lee Hyori's agency". After weighing the pros and cons, Kim Jae spoke with Zheng Xiuheng on the phone and met in person, and finally joined Antenna.
After all, she was eliminated in the group selections of JYP and DSP. In fact, Kim Jae Kyung was also very confused. When Zheng Xiuheng met her, he did not show any desire. He just talked about the plan to debut in a girl group this year. He said that if Kim Jae Kyung was strong enough, she might realize her dream this year. In addition, with Lee Hyori as her signature, she finally joined.
However, she regretted having only been in the company for a few days because the company is too small and it is completely different from what she had imagined. What she did not expect was that she suddenly received news of a debut plan today, but she was not included in it. She felt so disappointed at that moment. Fortunately, the president made an explanation later, which proved that there was still a chance. Now there are only a few trainees in the company, and now she also knew the key news in advance. Kim Jae-kyung's heart became a little hot.
Choi Ji-na and the other three standing by were nervous and excited at this moment. It was like a dream, especially the three girls from the five girls. They never expected that all three of them would be selected this time.
But what the three of them didn't know was that Zheng Xiuheng valued the relationship between the three and the experiences of the five girls, which was why he directly chose the three as the basis for forming a group. Unless they had problems themselves, it could basically be said to be certain.
Kim Hyo-rin was selected because of her good singing skills. After all, a group must have a lead singer. Although Choi Ji-na is also good, she is still far behind Kim Hyo-rin. The most important thing is that Kim Hyo-rin's current singing skills are actually just at the level of a qualified singer, but the three giants are very sure of her talent and there is still a lot of room for exploration, which constitutes the reason for Kim Hyo-rin's selection. Unless the new trainee sings better than her, she will not be replaced.
After a long discussion, Zheng Xiuheng and others have a general direction for the company's future. The first is the music industry. Idol culture is becoming more and more mainstream now, and the company certainly cannot ignore it. In the future, Antenna Academy will be the main outline. The music industry will mainly focus on training girl groups, and of course there will be solo singers, but this will not be forced. It mainly depends on whether there are any talented candidates to introduce.
As for cultivating girl groups, it is not anyone's obsession, but the current trend of boy groups. Not to mention others, just the two SM groups, unless SM themselves are asking for trouble, are basically a mountain that cannot be overcome, especially TVXQ, which is at its peak.
In recent years, the entertainment industry has been promoting the slogan that girl groups are dead, but who except an idiot would believe such words? Among the major music industry brokerage companies, all of them are creating their own girl groups. Even a layman like Zheng Xiuheng can see the gap in this market. The entertainment industry is about to usher in a new era of girl groups. It is not clear how high they can reach, but there is no doubt that in addition to their innate soft power, Antenna's hard power is not too bad.
The only weak point is that the company does not have a creator who is good at dance music. The only other weakness is that it has few partners and relatively weak promotion capabilities. However, focusing on training future idols in girl groups will not have much impact. Although there will definitely be fierce competition, the chance of reaching the top, that is, the chance of becoming the leader of the new era girl group, is countless times greater than training a boy group.
Zheng Xiuheng's eyes swept over the six girls in front of him, then turned away from Park Ji-yeon who was still growing up.
Although he had a plan, if he really launched these people, the positioning and style would be problems. But at this moment, Zheng Xiuheng discovered that, except for Park Ji-yeon, the other five people's figures were really unique, but the common point was that they all had very good figures.
Feeling a little strange at Zheng Xiuheng's look, these excited girls nervously lowered their heads.
Coming back to his senses, Zheng Xiuheng also coughed lightly, and then said to the girls: "Okay, continue training, Xiaosheng, come to my office!"
After saying that, Zheng Xiuheng left the practice room directly, and Jeon Hyosung just stayed for a moment and then followed him immediately. Her position was different from that of everyone here. Even if all the trainees of this company quit and the company collapsed, she couldn't do that because her family owed Zheng Xiuheng too much debt. This was no longer a situation where she could make whatever choice she wanted, not to mention that she really saw hope now.
"Ouni, why did the president call Hyosung over?" Kim Yoo-jin pulled Choi Ji-na and asked in a low voice. She was a little concerned because she heard from Choi Ji-na that Jeon Hyosung owed the president money.
Choi Ji-na was a little nervous as she watched the two people walking out of the practice room. If she had been tough with Jung Soo-hyung when she first met him, her temper had slowly subsided after she really joined this company. Now that she had received the news that she could join the debut project, she was even more surprised. However, even so, when Choi Ji-na thought about the president asking Hyo-sung if she was a virgin, she felt uneasy.
"I'm not sure. Let's wait for Hyo-sung to come back and ask her!" Choi Ji-na replied helplessly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
