I am not an artist when I am reborn

Chapter 27 Master and Apprentice

Chapter 27 Master and Apprentice
The first day of November, Thursday, is not a crazy day, but it is a milestone for Su Jinxing's first five-year plan CIMC Dragon Ball.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to end a matter at the beginning. When a matter has a beginning, the subsequent development of the matter is undoubtedly much simpler and smoother.

After seeing off Jin Shaoqing's family who came to sign the contract, Su Jinxing returned to the office of the Minister of Trainees and met Minister Sun who had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Producer Su, please sit down." Director Sun smiled and motioned for Su Jin to sit down.

Of course, Su Jinxing would not show off. The middle-aged man with a pot belly in front of him played a key role in Jin Shaoqing's ability to join the company.

"Jin Shaoqing's training contract is bothering Minister Sun." Su Jinxing thanked.

"A practice contract is easy." Minister Sun waved his hand, "It's just that Producer Sun may not understand the company's hidden debut standards. Jin Shaoqingxi's height is too outstanding."

High EQ: The height is too outstanding.

Low EQ: Too high.

"I understand." Su Jinxing understands the concept of Jin Shaoqing's height of 172 among SM trainees with an average height of 163.

That is the height of the longest body record raised by one's own strength.

"Then why do you still pay?" Minister Sun didn't finish his sentence, but he didn't understand that Su Jinxing knew that this situation existed, and insisted on helping Jin Shaoqing pay the liquidated damages at his own expense and also pulling her into the company.

You don't want to be in love with Jin Shao, do you?
This method of picking up girls is too stupid and too much money.

After a short contact, Minister Sun didn't think that Su Jin's guild would be this kind of dog-licking and loving brain.

"I have my own plan." Su Jinxing smiled.

You can't tell Minister Sun that he is going to form a group with full height.

"In fact, putting aside these factors, if Jin Shao Qingxi debuts, her leg length can completely reach the height of a hot spot through the operation of the company."

The so-called idols are nothing more than the human designs packaged by the company to sell them.This selling point can be singing skills, appearance, figure, or even an abstract personality.

No matter what the selling point, but you have to.

From Su Jinxing's point of view, if Jin Shaoqing's original company was not too useless, her leg length, which can be regarded as the only one in the industry, is a major selling point of Gfriend, and it is also a major selling point of herself.

Where would it be like the original, except for Gfriend fans, there are not many passers-by paying attention to him at all.

The popularity of Gfriend is not low, but the popularity of individual members is far less than that of other five heavenly kings.

Even Twice, which has held back until a long time after its debut before having a solo, is supported by the popularity of Lim Nayeon, Zhou Ziyu, Shiba Inu, no, Minozaki Saka and other members.

The little girlfriend Gfriend is really a fire together, and sparks are scattered all over the sky.

Is it full of stars?
Really not that level.

Power lead singer Cui Yuna's latest comeback album has sold over [-], and to say that it hit the street is flattering.

In all fairness, are there no selling points for the six members of Gfriend?

How could it not be.

But the level of the company is there, you can't expect them to operate like SM.

How much can a good operation do?
Let's not talk about the story of "[-] hot searches in half a year", just the captain of Red Velvet, "Four Generations of Beauty" Pei Zhuxuan's look.

There is no SM company behind this thing, it is spontaneously recognized by fans and passers-by. Many fans may not believe it.

Don't be just passers-by, passers-by are not a little bit.

YG's obvious and extremely popular routines are all leftovers from SM's play. The real marketing is to moisten things silently, and quietly imprint this concept in the minds of the public.

When you mention the four generations of looks, who do you think of?
Irene from Red Velvet, Pei Zhuxuan.

This is a kind of marketing method. You don't need to go straight to the end, stay behind the scenes to add fuel to the flames, and guide public opinion to lean towards the past. This is the correct way to open up marketing.

As long as Gfriend can make his debut in SM, Su Jinxing is sure to bite off a big piece of this generation's girl group market!

No matter what resistance he encounters, Gfriend is the bargaining chip that Su Jinxing needs to fight for. This bargaining chip represents not only Gfriend's own enthusiasm, but also the opportunity hidden behind it for him to formally enter the management team.

Minister Sun didn't know what the producer in front of him who had just joined the company and wanted to be in charge of SM was thinking.

He is a member of Jin Yingmin's faction, so when he talks to Su Jinxing, a member of Min Xizhen's faction, he will inevitably associate a lot.

Su Jinxing stuffed a golden love, is it his own idea or Min Xizhen's idea?

In the trainee department, only people from Li Xiuman's faction have been trying to reach out, while people from Min Xizhen's faction have always stayed away from the intense struggle of the trainee department.

But now, Su Jinxing suddenly inserted a trainee, so he couldn't help but think about it.

But this Jin Shaoqing...

It is completely inconsistent with the company's previous girl groups. Even if the style is changed, there are no suitable trainees who can be matched to form a girl group.

You can be taller, but you can't be a head taller than the members of the same group, right?
Jin Shaoqing's height of 172 makes Minister Sun's eyelids twitch, not to mention the girls who are generally no more than 165 in the company.

[The trainee hidden by director Li Xiuman is also quite tall, but compared to this Jin Shaoqing, it is still a lot worse. ]
Li Xiuman has many private hidden trainees in his hands. Among them, there is a female trainee who is quite outstanding in height and appearance, but she is tall, and she is not so ridiculously tall. It can be adapted, but Jin Shaoqing is suitable for walking on stilts, right?

Minister Sun also watched Jin Shaoqing's entrance examination. The dance was okay, and the rap was good, but her singing skills barely reached the A-level threshold, and her timbre was not as rogue as Jung Soo-yeon.

A trainee with only that level of strength without a suitable member would basically not be able to make his debut in SM. If such a trainee was inserted in, Director Sun could not understand Su Jinxing's meaning at all.

"Which class is Minister Sun planning to put Jin Shao Qingxi in?" Su Jinxing's words interrupted Minister Sun's thinking.

"Let's be A-level trainees. Jin Shao Qingxi's singing skills need to be improved, but her dancing skills are not bad. It would be a waste of talents to be placed at B-level." Minister Sun said with a smile.

"It's really troublesome Minister Sun." Su Jinxing thanked again.

He originally thought that Jin Shaoqing would be thrown into the B-level trainees. After all, SM's A-level trainees are also called "debut reserve". Those who have the qualifications to have debut potential will be promoted to A rank.

Jin Shaoqing's height was completely impossible to make her debut before Su Jinxing brought the other five dragon balls over.

Minister Sun put her in the A rank. Is this showing goodwill to him?
"Producer Su, you are welcome. I like xo very much. I also listened to the demo of Producer Su's "Roar". If I have the opportunity, I can write more songs for xo." Minister Sun said with a smile.

"There will be a chance." Su Jinxing also nodded with a smile, "Then Minister Sun is busy first, so I'll go there first?"

"Alright, Producer Su, go get busy."

Su Jinxing bowed to Minister Sun, got up and left the office.

Closing the door of the office, the smile on Su Jinxing's face disappeared.

[It will be some time before Kim Young Min's downfall, and Lee Soo Man's wife's health problems will probably happen next year, when Kim Young Min's power will reach its peak. ]
[Thinking about it carefully, Red Velvet's member selection also implies many factors.The private trainees of Park Soo-young are controlled by Lee Soo-man, and Son Seung-wan's talent show is also managed by Lee Soo-man's people, and Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-ki are from the trainee department controlled by Kim Young-min, so they are naturally Kim Young-min's group. ]
[Jin Yelin's joining has been decided long ago, but behind her...]
Kim Young Min?
Not quite.

Li Xiuman?
Not too.

There is nothing wrong with the five members of Red Velvet themselves. They don't even know how many factions the company has, but the chess pieces themselves are used by chess players without knowing it, which is normal.

For an entertainment company like SM, every group debut is the result of various games and compromises. Su Jinxing has no intention of intervening in the change of members of Red Velvet.

The time is too short, and there is a high probability that he will not be qualified to intervene in 14.

But Gfriend's candidates are absolutely irreplaceable.

Su Jinxing's confidence comes from the known future, and it is his greatest reliance not to change some core personnel as much as possible.

[You can't blindly pull people into the company, you have to find a way to keep the six of them. ]
Minister Sun's attitude reminded him.

The group debut of SM Company is not just about letting you debut if you are suitable, it also hides the high-level game at a deep level.

[Still not enough right to speak. ]
Su Jinxing has a lot of headaches. If he is now a permanent member of the council, with Min Xizhen's status, many things don't need such cumbersome planning. Even Gfriend's plan can be directly proposed at the council, and then how to discuss it. discuss.

Where does it need to be like now, a bunch of brain cells die every day to calculate and calculate.

Reluctantly, he plucked his hair.

Come on, let's go and give them the song we promised EXO.

……

Office of the Music Director.

Su Jinxing looked at the door plate speechlessly, and Min Xizhen asked him to bring the demo to Li Xiuman, and on the way, he felt his presence in front of the company founder, the current chairman of the board of directors, and the actual controller of SM's largest personal shareholding.

Frankly speaking, Su Jinxing doesn't really want to see Li Xiuman.

Li Xiuman is his mentor, and it was Li Xiuman's opportunity to debut in his previous life.

But such a person embezzled a lot of money from the company.

Su Jinhang has been in SM company since the beginning, everyone he knows is in SM, it can be said that this company is his home in Korea.

For this company, Su Jinxing has deep feelings.

This is how people are. When you achieve enough, you will feel that something will become a shackle that binds you, and you want to get rid of it.

But for an ordinary guy like Su Jinxing, the shackles of the company have become his protection.

Li Xiuman gave him a chance to debut, SM gave him a continuous working environment, he is such a hit, the company can be said to be kind to him.

At least in the critical period when Hybe and kakao acquired the company, the company didn't kick him out, and still kept him as a "waste" who couldn't create much value.

SM Company is not a philanthropist, and Su Jinxing knows that it is not a good cause, but this company carries the memory of Su Jinhang for more than ten years since he was an adult, and he has a special affection for this company.

When facing Li Xiuman, a "mentor" who is also one of the culprits of the company's decline, Su Jinxing's mood is very complicated.

"Huh..." Su Jinxing let out a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in." A familiar voice came from inside the room. Su Jinxing took a deep breath and walked into the office that he had stepped into countless times.

What catches the eye is the pair of black-rimmed glasses and a face that is not very handsome, but kind.

Li Xiuman in this period, just turned 60 years old, looks like an empathetic elder, not the helm of SM with a "tyrant".

"Hello Director Li Xiuman." Su Jinxing suppressed the waves of emotions and bowed to Li Xiuman.

"Producer Su is here, sit down quickly." Li Xiuman said to Su Jinxing with a smile.

Very enthusiastic, like an elder warmly entertaining a close junior.

Su Jinxing sat down in silence, and looked at Li Xiuman who was across the desk.

"Director Li, I've prepared the winter song for xo, do you want to listen to the demo?" Su Jinxing asked.

"Okay." Li Xiuman nodded with a smile, indicating that Su Jinxing could play the demo.

Take out your phone, find the demo of "First Snow", click to play, and put it on the table.

The office was quiet, only the "First Snow" demo recorded by Su Jinxing echoed.

The demo is only about a minute long, so it is not complete, but it is enough for Li Xiuman, who has a solid musical background.

"Producer Su's singing skills are excellent." Li Xiuman did not comment on the song "First Snow", but mentioned Su Jinxing.

"Producer Su was a trainee before. It's a pity to suddenly become a producer. Maybe there is a chance to make a solo debut." Li Xiuman said with a smile.

Su Jinxing was in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to that afternoon more than ten years ago at this moment.

"This kid's singing skills are very good, maybe his solo debut can cause some splashes." A gentle voice rang in his ears.

Su Jinxing with a dry throat resisted the desire to drink water, wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and looked up at the person not far away.

The old man smiled slightly at Su Jinxing, and made a cheering gesture to Su Jinxing like an urchin.

This scene was frozen and stayed in Su Jinxing's heart forever.

That was the turning point in his life, and the source of everything was the old man in front of him.

Memories faded like a tide, Su Jinxing looked at Li Xiuman complicatedly.

"Li Xiuman... Teacher, do you still remember the original intention of starting the company?"

Li Xiuman raised his eyebrows suddenly when he heard the name teacher, but smiled slightly after hearing the following words.

"Of course, in order to let the whole world hear our country's music. It's just that I'm old now, and the future belongs to you." Li Xiuman looked at Su Jinxing kindly, like a senior in the industry watching the industry. future.

The emotions in Su Jinxing's heart gradually cooled down, and the complex emotions in his eyes also faded away like a tide.

"Director Li has great ambitions, and I believe the company will continue to work hard in the future." Su Jinxing said calmly.

Li Xiuman was a little surprised by Su Jinxing's emotional change.

The child's mood swings were a bit strange, but Li Xiuman didn't pay much attention to them. It's normal for young people to have violent mood swings.

"Let's talk about this song." Su Jinxing took the phone and said.

"This song will be included in the company's music library first, and it will not be used for the time being." Li Xiuman concluded.

"Okay." Su Jinxing nodded, as he expected, now EXO does not need "First Snow", and "Roar" is enough for the time being.

"I heard that Director Min brought Producer Su to Silla's industry strategy party last week." Li Xiuman changed the subject and brought up things that surprised Su Jinxing.

Last week, SM, JYP, and YG led the kpop industry strategy party held at the Shilla Hotel with the participation of [-] other companies. Su Jinxing also attended the party with Min Xizhen.

Although he didn't do anything that night, he just sat there and listened to the leaders of various companies talk about their views on future development.

There is no nutrition, and no one will tell their competitors the real core strategic development in this kind of place.

This kind of party is mainly for developing contacts and getting to know each other. Su Jinxing met many company leaders at that party.

Li Xiuman suddenly mentioned this matter...

"Here, Director Min loves you, and followed the past to experience the world." Su Jinxing didn't know what Li Xiuman was doing when he asked this well-known thing, and chose to stay the same to cope with the ever-changing.

"Director Min sees Producer Su very much." Li Xiuman said with a smile, "Producer Su is currently in the production department, are you interested in being promoted to the performing arts department? Producer Su is very capable and should be qualified for the position of a member of the planning team .”

The production department is a department under the performing arts department, but the production department is not the performing arts department, which is the private land of Li Xiuman's faction.

The planning group is the core department of the performing arts department, and it is also the place where various groups debut and return to planning.

Li Xiuman asked him to transfer from the production department to the acting department...

Poaching, right?
Su Jinxing felt strange.

Li Xiuman is trying to poach him?

I just went to the industry strategy party with Min Xizhen, and it was known that I was Min Xizhen's person, and then ran back to Li Xiuman's side, not to mention that the people on Min Xizhen's side didn't like him, even Li Xiuman would not want to believe it. A [-]-year-old, right?
The old fox wants to kill me!

It is impossible to run away, Jin Yingmin and Li Xiuman are pits, a pit that is about to die, and a pit that will die later, only by holding Min Xizhen's thighs tightly can he give him enough time to develop.

"Sorry, Director Li." Su Jinxing showed a polite but negligent smile, "I still prefer to be a producer."

Li Xiuman smiled unabated.

"The producer is also pretty good." Li Xiuman nodded and glanced at the door.

Su Jinxing understood and got up immediately.

"Then Director Li is busy first, so I will leave first."

"Well, Producer Su, go slowly."

Su Jinxing bowed and left.

"Original heart..." Li Xiuman murmured, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.But after a while, the memories in his eyes were replaced by calmness.

"The initial heart belongs to young people. When people are old, they should think more about themselves."

The fundus of the eyes is like an ancient well, calm and unwavering, deadly silent.

After leaving Li Xiuman's office, Su Jinxing sighed deeply.

"Teacher Li Xiuman, only Director Li Xiuman is left." Su Jinxing said to himself.

Teacher Li Xiuman in his previous life was still the one he saw through the filter after all.

The teacher, also exists only in the memory.

Su Jinxing is not an indecisive person, his eyes gradually become sharper.

"It's time to end."

Turning to look at Li Xiuman's office, Su Jinxing turned around and strode away.

……

Office of the Art Director.

"Director Li's solicitation of me was rejected by me." Su Jinxing told Min Xizhen about the conversation in Li Xiuman's office just now.

Regardless of whether Min Xizhen knew about Li Xiuman's solicitation, Su Jinxing must tell Min Xizhen.

She doesn't have to know, but you can't help but say it.

In case Su Jinxing didn't say anything, but Min Xizhen found out, as a leader, what do you think she would think?
"Planning team...Director Li is willing." Min Xizhen chuckled, "This planning team is a favorite, do you regret not agreeing to him?"

"I am, I am still young, and there will be opportunities in the future, but it is not my way of life to give up Director Min's appreciation for a little profit." Su Jinxing shook his head and said.

Min Xizhen looked at Su Jinxing with undisguised appreciation.

"You're really good." Min Xizhen praised, "It's too early for you to enter the planning team, so wait a little longer."

"The director is also in the planning team?" Su Jinxing looked at Min Xizhen in surprise, he really didn't know about it.

He thought that the planning team of the performing arts department was Li Chengzhu's private plot.

"There are three planning teams, one for each person, isn't it reasonable?" Min Xizhen said with a smile.

Su Jinxing was amazed.

It seems that none of the company's departments is truly completely affiliated to a certain faction, and more or less people from other factions are arranged in it.

He was taking it for granted.

"Taeyeon Xi will contact you after a while, so you should prepare well." Min Xizhen didn't dwell on this issue for too long, and said immediately.

"Nai, I understand." Su Jinxing nodded.

In fact, there is nothing to prepare, just guide Kim Taeyeon according to the concept of "I", he doesn't know how to create, but if he takes the conclusion and reverses the process, isn't it how he wants to make it up?
Don't ask, just ask for inspiration!

Just take this opportunity to fool Kim Taeyeon.

"What does your little girlfriend, Minister Sun, say?" Min Xizhen asked again.

"Director..." Su Jinxing looked at Min Xizhen helplessly, "Why do you say that too?"

"Hehe." Seeing Su Jinxing's depressed expression, Min Xizhen immediately laughed, "That girl is said to be 1.7 meters tall and can't make her debut, isn't it your little girlfriend who brought her here?"

"Of course not." Su Jinxing thought for a while, and was still going to reveal some information to his boss.

"I think she's a good fit for some concepts."

Min Xizhen raised her eyebrows, but didn't think in the direction of the girl group.

"Then you should experiment well, but don't forget about Taeyeon Xi, it will be of great benefit to you if you do it well."

"I see."

"Go get busy."

Hearing the eviction order, Su Jinxing got up and left.

　Thanks to the Raven 666 rudder master for the mobile reward of 10086 starting coins!
　　Thank you Shumin book friend for the reward of Kim Taeyeon's character with 100 starting coins!
