Chapter 250 People without talent need time and effort
Compared to Hong Jin Young, Xu Yunmi's appearance is actually slightly weaker, but it's not because of her appearance, but because of her temperament. It may also be because Xu Yunmi is a Cheongdam-dong beauty who is beyond the model, so from the appearance alone, although she is more delicate, she cannot be said to surpass Hong Jin Young.
The general type of beauties in Cheongdam-dong are the kind that you can tell at first glance that they have had plastic surgery. You can see seven or eight "sisters" along the way.
The beyond model is a fine-tuning on a good foundation, which instantly makes it look high-end. For example, in Korea, most people can tell whether the other person has put something in their nose by looking at the high bridge of the nose. The normal model looks good, but there are always some flaws, while the beyond model is perfectly integrated into nature...
Simply put, it is beyond the model level and can become a template for others' plastic surgery.
As for Zheng Xiuheng and the other two, looking at her at this moment, you will feel that her appearance is an advantage. You won’t feel that it is unnatural and disgusting, but you won’t think that she is better than Hong Jin Young just in terms of appearance.
In addition, Xu Yunmi also surpasses Hong Jin Young in one aspect, that is, her figure. She is over 1.7 meters tall, with plump and firm breasts that cannot be concealed even by a loose T-shirt. Coupled with her slender figure and a pair of straight long legs, Hong Jin Young is more perfect in this respect.
However, Hong Jin Young's lively personality gives her a huge advantage in this kind of selection. After all, it is possible to be a good-looking woman in Korea, but it is difficult to have a likable personality, especially in the Korean entertainment industry.
"Yeah!" After a brief surprise, Xu Yunmei calmed down and nodded.
Yoo Hee-yeol asked, "Do you have an agency?"
“Hah!”
Lee Hyori also asked curiously: "Then why did you come to participate in the audition?"
Although Xu Yunmei was a little nervous, she replied calmly: "The current company is very small. When I first joined, I was a little deceived. After joining, I found out that it was not an entertainment company, but a theater. The company was only established in the second half of last year. Because I am not young anymore, and the company still has no plans for the future, I decided to look for other opportunities!"
Her personality is completely opposite to Hong Jin Young's. Zheng Xiuheng and the other two nodded after hearing this explanation. They finally understood what kind of situation Hong Jin Young is.
However, theater also has its advantages. If it were an ordinary agency, a personality like Hong Jin Young might have been packaged as a group idol and launched. Then, her singing skills would naturally not be as capable and distinctive as those after her theater experience.
Of course, there are pros and cons. The downside is that unless you are in a very good troupe with a very good teacher, you can't learn more practical things. Just like Hong Jin-young, although she has many highlights, her shortcomings are also obvious, such as insufficient development of the resonance cavity, resulting in insufficient strength when singing, and relatively monotonous vocal techniques.
But overall, this experience is not bad. After all, in most agencies, apart from daily practice, unless you have outstanding talent, it is difficult to get a dedicated teacher to guide you. And there are many cases where you have talent but the company needs you to strengthen other training.
What Zheng Xiuheng is optimistic about Hong Jin Young, besides her likable performance, is also the natural stage presence when she sang the second song. Although such a stage cannot be shown in front of the public, it can provide many directions.
"Well, let's sing a song first!" Zheng Xiuheng did not mention the agency again , but went straight to the point, with some expectations in his heart. If she also had the solid basic skills of Hong Jinying, this calm personality would be possible.
But there are not so many things in the world that can be taken for granted. As soon as Xu Yunmei started talking, Liu Xiye frowned . After a minute, Liu Xiye raised his hand to stop Xu Yunmei, and then looked at the girl and commented seriously: "Too amateurish!"
Xu Yunmei blushed, but still controlled her emotions and did not lower her head.
"Are you good at rap? If so, sing a piece!" Zheng Xiuheng agreed with Yoo Hee-yeol's evaluation. Compared to Hong Jin-young, she can only be described as a weakling. If she had talent and a calm personality, she would be a high-quality singer. But if she had no talent but a calm personality, then... I don't know.
"Not very good!" Xu Yunmei was also a little embarrassed. Although she knew that her singing was average, she didn't expect to get amateur evaluation.
"Well, I think you should be good at dancing, right?" Zheng Xiuheng put down the pen in his hand and asked with a smile.
Xu Yunmei looked a little surprised and nodded. To be honest, she knew her talent, her weaknesses and strengths, so she put more effort into dancing.
"Okay, there's no need to demonstrate your dancing skills. Do you want to hear my honest advice?"
"Ah? Uh, I wish, teacher, could you give me some advice?" Xu Yunmei was a little flustered. She originally thought that Zheng Xiuheng would ask her to perform a dance, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't even have the chance to show her strongest weapon.
Zheng Xiuheng carefully looked at Xu Yunmei's information again, then looked at her sincerely and said, "My advice is... give up your dream of becoming a singer as soon as possible. It's not because you are not good at it. It doesn't matter if your singing skills are average. Your figure and appearance are also your advantages. As for dancing, at your age, unless your dancing talent is so good that MJ would applaud, it will be useless for your dream!"
"If you only have these things now, although the chance of becoming a successful singer is slim, it is not zero. If your personality can be as unique as your friend Hong Jin Young, then with all your current qualities, you may still be able to become a member of an idol group. But in a large company, there will be no such opportunity. If you debut in a small company, unless a miracle happens, it will be difficult for you to become a star even if you debut, and your life will even be more difficult than it is now!"
"My advice to you is to give up your dream of becoming a singer and focus on developing your career in the modeling industry. This way, you may have a chance to release a few singles in the future!"
Although Yoo Hee-yeol had passed many people this afternoon, and even though he received many negative comments, he had never actually sentenced a person to death like Jung Soo-heng did, so he felt that these words were a bit harsh.
Lee Hyori did the same. She secretly reached out her left hand to Jung Soo-hyung's leg and pinched it. If such words were said to a weak-willed child, who knows if he would do something extreme.
But Zheng Xiuheng was unmoved, looking at the body shaking a little. Xu Yunmei, whose eyes became flustered and unfocused, continued: "Of course this is just my suggestion. In fact, from my personal point of view, wanting to be a singer and wanting to be a star are two completely different dreams. My final suggestion to you is that if you are still obsessed with becoming a singer, you can start as a model first, but don't stop learning music. You can also get in touch with the world of music, such as the underground music scene and independent music. In this way, maybe ten or twenty years later, you may become a qualified singer. Talented people succeed through talent, and those without talent can only succeed through time and hard work!"
"Here is a business card of the director of DcarModel Agency. If you agree with my suggestion someday, you can contact me and say that I recommended you. This company is not small and has a good reputation in the industry. With your qualifications and experience, I think it should be easy for you to become the company's top model. You may even have more potential than Lee Ji-woo who is currently in the limelight. Well, that's all my suggestions. Whether you reject or accept my suggestions, thank you very much for participating in the Antenna selection. Now you can leave!"
Zheng Xiuheng put the business card in front of the table. Then he looked at Xu Yunmei. He certainly hoped that Xu Yunmei could make the right choice. Zheng Xiuheng was not fooling around this time. Even a manager like him who had just joined this circle could see that Xu Yunmei did not have much potential. The most important thing was that in this situation, such a personality was not attractive at all. No matter how she was in private, she was just like this in the selection. Zheng Xiuheng naturally could not choose her.
However, Hengshou Credit had already acquired 35% of the shares . In addition to the approximately 70 million that flowed into Han's mother's hands after various tax and hiring people to set up a scheme, it finally spent another 80 million to help Han Jae-sik repay the loan shark debt, and finally acquired a total of 35% of the shares.
On the surface, 280 million was spent, but even this number was completely plundered at the original price. In fact, we should thank another shareholder for being able to get so many shares.
As the saying goes, business is like a battlefield, so don't talk about friendship. Faced with Han Jae-sik's predicament, the other party took advantage of his misfortune, threatening to split the profits before half a year had passed, not allowing him to use the working capital for personal purposes, and finally proposed to buy his shares.
This kind of behavior of kicking someone when they are down is much more hateful than the credit company's kicking someone when they are down. The two of them are old friends who have been working together for many years. They didn't expect that the other party would be so shameless at such a critical moment. Han Jae-seok was furious and chose to transfer the shares to Hengshou Credit at a low price, and then he paid off the loan shark.
Even though the partner's offer was 20 million higher, the furious Han Jae-sik would rather sell the shares to an outsider than to that guy.
Of course Han Jae Seok could get a loan, but he had other plans.
As a result, Han Jae-sik only had 20% of the shares left, so he proposed to transfer the remaining shares to Hengshou Credit. Of course, this time the price would not be so abnormally low.
He will only transfer this 20% for at least 700 million, which is a premium, because Han Jae-sik knows very well that only in this way can Hengshou Credit achieve absolute controlling stake. Similarly, if Hengshou Credit is not interested, he can still cheat his partner who is taking advantage of the situation.
In fact, Han Jae-sik is not really without a solution. Even if he does not use the company's shares as a loan, he still has two properties in Gangnam. If he is willing to sell them or take out a mortgage loan, he can fully repay the debt.
But Korean real estate is very popular now, and housing prices in Gangnam are rising rapidly. First of all, it is impossible to sell it now. He is not a fool. But if it is a loan, he will have to repay a total of nearly 300 million. If the debtor becomes a bank, it will take at least one to two years to pay off the loan with the current company's income.
What changes will happen in the housing market in the next one or two years is beyond his prediction. With the abnormally rising housing prices in Jiangnan, if he cannot sell at the right time, it is hard to say whether he will gain or lose. And since so many shares have been taken away, it is better to sell them all and invest in real estate. This is why he gave up his shares and offered a premium price.
