After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 605 Screening

Shen Guanchang's expression was tangled: "This is playing tricks on people, it's not very kind."

Li opened his face and said: "What is playing with people, setting up tests and screening them, this is work."

Xue Bing said disdainfully: "Come on, you are obviously digging a hole and pushing us into the hole."

When Li opened his eyes and looked over, Xue Bing grinned, evoking an evil arc: "Hundreds of flowers have been hit hard, and the flowers don't touch your body. You think there are a few Liu Shanghuis in the world. Everyone is a man. I understand. Let's talk about it first. I can't guarantee that I won't be dazzled and cause something to happen to Hongluan Xingxing."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head again: "Guanchang, right?"

Shen Guanchang was choked so badly that he coughed a few times. Regardless of his close relationship with Li Kai, he would not dare to be as casual as Xue Bing in front of this big cousin.

Li Kai shrugged lightly: "You are all shareholders and high-level executives of the group. There are dozens or hundreds of singers under the group, half of whom are young girls, and their appearance is generally above 80 points. It is impossible to send someone to watch you every day, man. Ah, some aspects have to be controlled by yourself."

After all, he leaned his head back, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Xue Bing and Shen Guanchang looked at each other, the former shook his head and laughed, the latter shook his head and smiled wryly, without saying anything more.

Nearly four hours later, the plane landed at Xiaohan Capital Airport.

TY Entertainment sent a special car to pick them up, and the dinner was booked at a club, and the president personally came forward to welcome Li Kai and his party.

After the dinner, they politely declined the entertainment program arranged by the other party, and Li Kai and his party checked into a four-star hotel.

The next day, after breakfast, Li Kai and others boarded a minibus sent by TY Entertainment and headed to TY Records.

TY Entertainment was established in the late 70s and has a history of 21 years. At its peak, it once ranked second in the Korean entertainment industry, but now it has dropped to fifth.

Of course, in Xiaohan, Aikuqi Entertainment is the only one, and it can be regarded as a super giant. There is not much difference between the six first-tier entertainment companies ranked second to seventh.

TY Entertainment has a total of 5 subsidiaries, and its business scope includes film and television, records, advertisements, games, bars, KTV, etc.

Among the five subsidiaries of TY Records, its market capitalization is second only to film and television media.

Wen Longkang is the first vice president of TY Records, similar to the executive vice president of a domestic company. After Li Kai and others arrived, he brought a few ministers to greet him. After a while of polite greetings, the two parties entered a conference room .

The Minister of Music introduced the singers under TY Records.

Including groups, there are a total of 39 signed singers, including 4 first-tier Asian artists, 10 second-tier singers, and 13 third-tier singers, and the rest are newcomers who have never released a film.

In addition to signed singers, there are also hundreds of signed singers.

All the training courses on weekdays are at the training base.

Li Kai proposed that the two spots for the bet, one belongs to a girl group, the other is a boy group or an individual is to be determined, and the selection is not limited to signed singers below the first line, but also includes quasi-signed singers.

Shen Guanchang and Xue Bing were in charge of the first round and second round selection of the girl group, and he was the one who made the final decision.

As for the other spot, he needs to look at the profiles of the singers first.

In addition, during Xiao Han's time, he needed an exclusive vocal practice room at the base, and he could join the dance training courses there at will.

Wen Longkang had no objection, and mentioned that a first-line girl group has completed the recording of a new album, which is expected to be released in three weeks. He hoped that there would be two weeks of publicity in China before the release, and Li Kai agreed.

Coming out of the conference room, Wen Longkang asked his secretary to lead Li Kai and others to the training base.

The training base is a private art school, which has an in-depth cooperative relationship with TY. One-fifth of the area is dedicated to TY, just like a small campus.

In addition to an eight-storey teaching building, two three-storey dormitory buildings for men and women, there is also an extraordinarily large half the size of a football field, two basketball courts, and four tennis courts.
Under the recommendation of his secretary, Li Kai met with the person in charge of the training base, got a schedule of dance classes, and then plunged into the vocal practice room arranged for him.

Xue Bing and Shen Guanchang were responsible for the selection of girl groups.

In the first round of "judging people by their appearance", Xue Bing is in charge of signing singers, and Shen Guanchang is in charge of quasi-signing singers.

TY Records, not counting the 4 first-line singers, among the remaining 35 singers, there are 10 girl groups, ranging from 3 to 9 members.

From the names of these girl groups to the selection of group members, all rights belong to the company.

In other words, if a certain girl group became popular, and the members of the group would be transferred when their contracts expired, it could only be their personal identities, and the name of the group could not be taken away.

If the company is dissatisfied with a member of the group, it can replace it with other singers at any time.

To use the common saying in the circle, it is a combination of iron, a singer of flowing water.

This is also doomed, as singers who are members of a group, they are more constrained and controlled by the company than independent singers.

It was much easier for Xue Bing to filter.

As long as these girl groups do not go out for business activities, they have to come to the training base to practice their voice, body and dance every day. This is much stricter than the management of singers by major domestic records.

Xue Bing only needs to observe through the glass outside one classroom for a while, and if more than half of the members of the group close their eyes, it will be considered a pass, and there is no need to demand that all of them meet the standard.

The same is true for Shen Guanchang, but his workload is much greater than that of Xue Bing, and he has more than 20 singers to sign, including more than [-] girl groups.

The primary election was completed in one afternoon, and 10 of the 8 signed groups were left. The 2 groups that were eliminated, one of the 5 female middle schools had 4 exceedingly good looks, and the other 7 female middle school had 2 third-eyed beauties, 1 Too beautiful, 2 figures are too eye-catching.

There are 20 more than 10 combinations to be signed.

The next morning, two classrooms were borrowed, Shen Guanchang and Xue Bing sat in one, and started the second round of re-selection.

On Xue Bing's side, the first group is called berrs, the third line in the sub-region, five girls of the same height, with slightly different temperaments, but they are all slender, youthful and beautiful.

The five girls bowed, and the team leader gave a short self-introduction for half a minute.

Xue Bing twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, and then followed what Li Kai said, and asked first: "Do you want to be popular?"

The five girls couldn't help being startled, they looked at each other in blank dismay, then nodded one after another, and finally the captain replied: "I think."

Xue Bing said ambiguously, waved his hands, and they began to perform.

No music, just a dance and a cappella.

After the performance, Xue Bing asked the captain to stay alone for a while, and the other four girls went out first, and then said: "Tonight at six o'clock, I want to invite you to have dinner together, at XX Restaurant, and I will reserve a private room."

The captain's face was slightly stiff, hesitating to say something, Xue Bing didn't give her a chance to speak, and said lightly: "I don't force you, you can discuss it with them in private, do you want to be popular?"

The captain was choked, Xue Bing waved his hand: "Call me the next one."

The captain stayed there for a few seconds, bowed, turned and left.

Seeing her tangled back, Xue Bing was a little embarrassed, and silently shook his head and sighed.

On Shen Guanchang's side, the first 7-girl group to come in, when he asked the phrase "Do you want to be popular?", the 7 girls looked at each other, and they didn't answer for a long time. Finally, one of the girls said that they love music. singing is their dream or something
Shen Guanchang listened patiently, but he sighed in his heart. Since this girl chose to avoid answering directly, she was declared eliminated.

After the 7 girls finished performing a cappella and dance, Shen Guanchang waved directly and called for the next one.

The retest time is not long, that is, less than two hours.

On Xue Bing's side, on the question of whether he wants to be popular or not, he eliminated two groups, and for the remaining six, he made appointments for dinner today and tomorrow, KTV singing at 08:30 in the evening, and a bar at 10:30.

On the question of whether Shen Guanchang wants to be popular or not, four groups were eliminated, and it happened that there were only six left. They also made an appointment for dinner today and tomorrow, singing in KTV, and still in the bar.

The time is the same, but the place is different.

That night, Xue Bing had dinner, singing, and bar. All three groups came, singing and bar. For some reason, one group was absent from one girl, and the other group was absent from two girls.

Shen Guanchang's side, dinner and bar, two groups came, each absent a girl, the group that had an appointment to sing, did not come.

On the following night, Xue Bing still had all three groups come, but the total number of absentees reached 5 girls.

On Shen Guanchang's side, the same three groups came, but there were always three girls absent.

Thursday, morning.

Shen Guanchang and Xue Bing came to the vocal practice room and reported the situation to Li Kai.

Li Kai pondered for a while, and said: "Shen Guanchang, please inform the girl group that you had a good date with the night before yesterday, and ask them to play basketball at 06:30 tonight, on the basketball court outside, remember, five girls notify one by one. "

Shen Guanchang was stunned: "play basketball"

Li Kai hummed.

Xue Bing looked inexplicable: "What are you doing, how many women can play basketball, if you want someone to accompany you to exercise, you should also choose tennis, it's not that there is no room."

Li Kai didn't bother to pay attention, and emphasized: "It's just basketball."

Shen Guanchang reluctantly responded, turned around and left.

Xue Bing deliberately stayed behind and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The two of you are in charge of the first and second rounds of screening, and I have to screen again in the last round."

Li Kai stretched his body, looked at Xue Bing's puzzled face, shook his head and said, "Don't ask any more questions, I'll explain to you when we have the results."

After finishing speaking, he patted Xue Bing on the shoulder and said with a light smile: "Tonight, call Ange and the three of them, and play well. According to statistics, among the idols that girls worship, sports male stars surpass male movie stars and Singer, ranked first."

The corner of Xue Bing's mouth twitched a few times, and cursed in a low voice: "Go to hell."

late, six o'clock.

Li Kai and the others ate dinner early, and played three-on-three halftime on the basketball court.

Li Kai, Xue Bing, and Shen Guanchang were in the first team, the drivers and security guards were in the first team, and Li Xia and Ma Qian were cheerleaders on the sidelines.

By 06:30, only 5 of the 3 women that Shen Guanchang notified came.

Two men and one woman form three teams, and three balls go off the stage.

When Li Kai's team left the court, Li Kai called Shen Guanchang aside and asked him to inform the five girls who did not attend the appointment with the group to come to the basketball court to play before 5:07.

Shen Guanchang groaned secretly: "How do you want me to notify you now?"

"Call President Wen's secretary and ask for the contact information of those girls."

"."

"You think it's just for fun, we're working!"

"."

Shen Guanchang was speechless. Playing basketball was a job, and this was as confident as Li Kai said.

Shaking his head helplessly, he stepped aside to make contact.

After making a phone call for about ten minutes, Shen Guanchang informed that he had contacted 4 people, but it was just a notification, and he would not guarantee that the other party would come or not.

Li Kai nodded, with an expression of indifference.

The girls' dormitory was only 200 meters away, but until 7:[-], only two girls came.

Li Jian let them join the gang, and replaced two girls who were physically weak, and the fight lasted for nearly half an hour before it was over.

On the sidelines, Li Kai glanced at the five girls who were dripping with sweat, and said, "We are Huacan Records from Huaguo, and you all know the bet between Huacan Records and TY Records, right?"

The five girls nodded one after another.

Li Kai took a sip of the mineral water, and said again: "One of the release quotas is for a girl group. I will ask TY Records to sign five of you to form a brand new girl group, and then give this release quota to to you."

As soon as these words came out, the five girls were all stunned.

Li Kai said indifferently: "Who among you is unwilling, mention it now, don't force it."

The five girls are only quasi-contracted singers who are eligible to receive training, and the ratio of quasi-contracted singers who can finally sign a contract is less than [-]%, so who would not want to.

As for their departure from the original combination, it was originally temporary, and there was no such concern at all.

It was pie in the sky.

"I am willing."

"Thank you."

The five girls responded one after another, with delayed excitement and ecstasy on their faces.

Xue Bing and Shen Guanchang looked at each other, and Li Xia and Ma Qian looked at each other. They both saw surprise in each other's eyes. They really didn't understand what standard Li Kai made his choice.

Li Kai said a few words with the five girls, and then asked them to go back and prepare for signing a contract with the company tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

After the five girls left happily, Li Xia immediately said: "You are either practicing vocals or dancing these days. This is the first time seeing these girls today. I haven't heard them sing a song before, so I made a hasty decision like this?"

Li Kai said with a smile: "Xiao Han's music circle is systematically screened layer by layer. If they can become quasi-contracted singers, their singing and dancing skills must meet the standards."

Shen Guanchang asked: "Then why can't it be too beautiful or personalized? Thirdly"

Li Kai replied directly: "What I want is a second-eyed beauty with the widest audience."

Xue Bing curled her lips: "Then during the review, why is it popular or not?"

Li opened his eyes and said: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a singer who doesn't want to be popular is not a good singer. I think in my heart but cover it up with my mouth. This is not subtle, but in my opinion it is hypocrisy. Therefore, we will be eliminated. "

Before Xue Bing could continue to ask questions, he said, "I asked you and Guanchang to invite them to a group dinner, sing KTV, and go to the bar. These are not allowed by Xiaohan's record company. If you find out, you will be given a yellow card. Achieving the goal and violating the company's regulations, such singers will naturally be eliminated."

"As for those who didn't go, why did they invite them to play basketball? That's because they didn't go to the appointment. In my opinion, there are no more than two reasons. One is to abide by the company's regulations, and the other is that they are Xiaohan singers. They don’t look down on our Huaguo Record Company at all.”

"And playing basketball does not violate the company's regulations. As you said, there are not many girls who can play basketball. I deliberately made things difficult for you. Since you want to be popular, but you don't want to be wronged, we will be eliminated."

Several people suddenly realized after hearing this.

Xue Bing thought of something again, frowned and said: "Then there are quite a few people on my side who didn't come to the appointment, you"

Li Kai shook his head: "The ones on your side are all signed singers, and even the group they belong to has already released records. It is inappropriate to single them out."

Xue Bing thought for a while, nodded and said: "So, you have already locked in those singers who are going to be signed, and my primary and secondary selections are purely a waste of energy."

"You can't say that. If there is a whole group that doesn't show up for the appointment, I will consider it."

As Li Kai said this, he suddenly smiled evilly, and leaned into Xue Bing's ear and said, "Besides, so many beauties eat and sing and drink with you, this is a beautiful job."

Xue Bing's face turned black, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
