I am not an artist when I am reborn

"Okay, okay, stop laughing." Su Jinxing held back his laughter and stopped the two of them. Xiaobao would really get angry if he continued to laugh.

"Having this goal is a good thing. Having a goal gives you motivation. It is much better than aimless mechanical practice."

Jin Caiyuan nodded in agreement, this is right.

She said her idea was right.

Artists who don’t want to be popular are not good trainees!

Ding dong.

Su Jinxing's cell phone rang on the table. He picked it up and took a look. It was an email from the company's producer.

Open the mail.

"It's been made." Su Jinxing said in surprise.

"What's finished?" Song Yuqi, who was sitting on Su Jinxing's left hand side, stretched her head and was about to come over to take a look, but Su Jinxing dodged it.

"This is the new song from GFriend's comeback. Don't watch it for now."

Song Yuqi has gained a certain amount of popularity because of "The Birth of a Producer" and occasionally does live broadcasts. She is not very reliable, and Su Jinxing is not prepared to let her know the specific details of the song.

As for the news about GFriend's return, just let it go, it doesn't matter.

Everyone knows that GFriend will return this year, there is nothing to hide.

"I'm also a producer now! Maybe I can point out some problems for you." Song Yuqi said angrily.

"This song was produced by Xiaojuan and several outstanding producers in the company. You, the penultimate one, shouldn't talk about it, right?"

The filming of "The Birth of a Producer" ended in mid-January. In the end, Tian Xiaojuan and another producer from Seoul National University were admitted to the Korean Opup Club, ranking first and second, and the other four were eliminated.

Among them, Song Yuqi's final ranking was No. 5. This is still a ranking with a popularity bonus. Without the popularity bonus, she is undoubtedly the last one.

Tian Xiaojuan also made a name for herself through this variety show. The songs produced on the show are of excellent quality and are quite popular.

This single for GFriend's comeback was created by Tian Xiaojuan as the chief producer, and together with several other producers in the company based on the concept he gave, it is also the last step in the long-term journey to becoming a god prepared by Su Jinxing for GFriend.

"It's No. 5!" Song Yuqi corrected the mistake in Su Jin's jargon, "I am No. 5 among thousands of choices, not the second to last!"

Su Jinxing laughed. You were not selected from thousands of contestants like other contestants, but he did not continue talking to save some face for Song Yuqi.

"You can continue playing with Sakura and Caiyuan tomorrow. I'll go back to Seoul first."

"Going back so early?" Song Yuqi said in surprise, and Jin Caiyuan and Sakura also looked over in surprise.

How many days has Su Jinxing been back?
""Super Idol" is about to start preparing for the promotion event, and the 48 trainees' promotional videos are also going to start recording. There are a lot of pre-production matters, and I have to go there in advance to take charge."

"You three, don't stay too late and return to Korea before NO.20."

"Inside~" x3.

They all received the news that they will start preparing to record "Super Idol" in March and April this year. There are 48 trainees in total. In addition to their group of friends, I heard that there are also trainees from entertainment companies such as JYP, P Club, and Big Hit. , this variety show is not very competitive, and debuts are not based on rankings, but your performance in the show will also determine whether you can debut.

To put it simply, ranking first does not necessarily mean that they will debut, but those who rank too low generally do not perform well and will naturally not be included in the debut list.

You don’t need to take the rankings as everything like previous talent shows, but you can’t completely ignore the rankings either.

Kim Caiyuan and the other three were all trainees who were notified to participate in "Super Idol", and they were already mentally prepared.

"Hello, excuse me, I'm here to serve you food." At this time, the waiter came over and pushed the dining cart to serve the food.

"Listening to what you are saying, are you foreigners?" the waiter asked while looking at Su Jinxing while serving the food.

"Well, we are both Chinese, she is Korean and she is Japanese." Su Jinxing raised his eyebrows, smiled and chatted with the waiter, and introduced the nationalities of Jin Caiyuan and Sakura.

"China, Japan and South Korea are all here." The waiter laughed, "By the way, let me give you a few dishes as a welcome to foreign friends."

"Thank you, boss." Su Jinxing thanked him.

"It's okay. You guys eat slowly and call me if you need anything."

"Eh."

After the waiter walked away, Song Yuqi translated the conversation to Jin Caiyuan and Sakura.

"The store manager Nim is so nice!" Jin Caiyuan exclaimed, how many dishes can foreigners get for free?

"She should have recognized one of us." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

"Ah?" Three faces were confused.

"The sound of our chat just now was not loud, and the people at the next table didn't notice it. How did she know that there were foreigners among us?"

"That's right!" Song Yuqi also responded, "We have always spoken in Korean, but Oppa spoke in Chinese when we came in. We saw her before she served the food, and we didn't speak at the time. How did she know? "

"Maybe you can tell." Jin Caiyuan said shaking his head.

Su Jinxing was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at a table not far away of several boys and girls who were obviously minors.

"It seems that they didn't necessarily recognize us, but recognized our nationality." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

"Ah?" The three of them were even more confused.

Are you playing games?
Can you identify your nationality?

"I have almost forgotten it after staying in Korea for a long time. In the eyes of Chinese people, people who often live in Korea are actually quite easy to distinguish. In the eyes of the boss, except for Yu Qi, the other three of us probably have Korean temperament. .”

Su Jinxing's explanation made Jin Caiyuan and the other two people still confused.

But there was no way to continue explaining.

It’s a sense that’s hard to describe in words.

It’s really easy to tell when Chinese and Koreans stand together.Unless this Korean does not live in Korea.

This kind of temperament even exists in Su Jinxing, because he has spent more time in South Korea than at home in his two lifetimes combined.

"Stop worrying, let's eat." Seeing that the three of them were still struggling with this issue, Su Jinxing couldn't help but smile.

Hearing this, Jin Caiyuan and the others had no choice but to put down their questions and start eating.

……

Although there are two members of the hot pot line here, it does not mean that their appetites will be large, not to mention that it is a late night snack, so I ordered a lot, basically one person and one chopstick, and it is almost the same after tasting each one. full.

There was a lot left over, and it was all wasted.

After the meal, he sent Jin Caiyuan and Sakura back to the hotel, then sent Song Yuqi home, and then Su Jinxing returned to his home.

There will be a flight to Seoul at [-] noon tomorrow, and he will go to bed early.

February NO.19.

Seoul, Korean Ouphui Building, President’s Office.

Today is Su Jinxing's second day back. Information about the latest talent show "Super Idol" has been compiled into a complete document and presented to Su Jinxing's desk.

Su Jinxing was the only one in the huge office. Su Jinxing was sitting on the office chair, drinking tea and looking at the trainee list of "Super Idol" in his hand.

SM Entertainment (13): Kwon Eun-bi, Kim Min-joo, Kang Hye-won, Choi Ye-na, Lee Chae-yeon, Song Yuqi, Jeon So-yeon, Sakura, Jo Yoo-ri, Kim Chae-won, Ryu Ji-min, Kim Min-jeong, Naeyoung Eri.

cube entertainment (3): Xu Suizhen, Zhao Meiyan, Minnie.Sunny Entertainment (5): Nako Yabuki, Hitomi Honda, An Youzhen, Zhang Yuanying, Ning Yizhuo.

JYP Entertainment (7): Hwang Ye-ji, Lee Chae-ryeong, Shin Yoo-na, Shin Yoo-jin, Choi Ji-soo...

A total of eight companies participated in the recording of "Super Idol", among which SM Entertainment, Cube Entertainment and Qingtian Entertainment combined accounted for 21 places.

Moreover, the list this time is quite star-studded, with members from IZONE, (G)I-DLE, ITZY, and aespa all present. The value of this talent show will continue to increase as these trainees debut one after another.

In addition to these people, Su Jinxing also saw several other names.

For example...Xu Yunzhen.

"Is this girl also on the list?" Su Jinxing looked at this future member of LE SSERFIM with some surprise, why is she also there?

(She is in produce48.)
After thinking about it, he pulled out Xu Yunzhen's information sheet and put it together with Wang Yiren's information sheet.

In "Super Idol", except for Sakura, Yabuki Nako and Honda Hitomi, the other trainees are basically never debuted. Being popular is another matter.

This is the finalized list, which can also be said to be unofficial.

The auditions for "Super Idol" will begin on March 27st. Trainees from the [-] member companies of the Hallyu Idol Association can sign up to participate in the auditions.

From these trainees in the audition, 48 trainees were selected to appear on the show and participate in the recording.

Although the cakes have been divided among the 48 places and confirmed, the format still needs to be followed, step by step.

The list in Su Jinxing's hand is not the final list yet. He will wait until he signs and seals it, and then convenes the Korean Odd Club's board of directors to read out and vote on the list. The final list will be final only after the vote is passed.

But basically the list that can get to him has already been approved by all the major companies, unless he wants to change the places on the list.

His company together accounts for nearly half of the quota, and Su Jinxing will certainly not have any objections.

He picked up Xu Yunzhen's and Wang Yiren's information sheets, picked up a pen and signed the last part of the document, and then stamped it with the president's official seal.

Pick up the landline phone on the table.

"Come in."

After a while, Secretary Li pushed the door open and entered.

"President Nim."

"Send the documents to the Council Secretary's Office. The information of these two trainees will be archived and listed as persons of concern."

Secretary Li first took the "Super Idol" trainee list signed by Su Jinxing, and then took the information sheets of Xu Yunzhen and Wang Yiren, and took a look at the names.

"Neither of these two trainees are from our company. Do we need to contact them in advance?" Secretary Li asked.

"No, just pay attention."

"Okay." Secretary Li nodded, bowed to Su Jinxing and left the office.

After Secretary Li left, Su Jinxing picked up the phone, found Zhao Yixi's number and dialed it.

After ringing for a moment, the call was connected.

"Su Dong."

"Mr. Zhao, what stage is the progress of 101 at?"

"The trainees who will appear have been confirmed and promotional activities will begin immediately. The shooting should be in April." Zhao Yixi answered.

"Super Idol is about the same time in Korea. Who are the trainees from the company? Those exchange students?"

"Yes."

"Well, is there any news worth paying attention to?"

"Lehua signed Meng Meiqi and Wu Xuanyi from Cosmic Girls, and wanted them to participate in 101, but we Qingtian have never agreed. Lehua has also been stuck. They have been discussing this with us these days. Something." Zhao Yixi said.

"It's from Cosmic Girl." Su Jinxing frowned and came over.

"Don't let them in. Two artists who have already debuted are not conducive to our control over the follow-up of this limited group." Su Jinxing pondered for a while and said.

This limited group will be disbanded sooner or later, and Meng Meiqi and Wu Xuanyi, two "twice-cooked pork" with outstanding strength and a certain degree of attention, cannot be allowed to divert the traffic.

This is not conducive to his subsequent plans.

"Okay, if we don't nod on a sunny day, no company will be able to force people in." Zhao Yixi said confidently.

The copyright is in the hands of Sunny Entertainment, and the production staff of the program team are also from Sunny Entertainment and SM Entertainment. Without Sunny Entertainment’s nod, it is impossible for other companies to get people in.

"Dr. Su, can Ning Yizhuo really not be able to participate in 101? This show still lacks a VOCAL who can hold the show down." Zhao Yixi said.

"Isn't there Xilinna Yigao?" Su Jinxing remembered that this girl had very strong singing skills.

"Okay." Zhao Yixi felt a little regretful.

Su Jinxing understood and immediately laughed.

"So you are thinking about Ning Yizhuo."

It wasn't that he lacked the VOCAL to suppress the situation, he just wanted Ning Yizhuo, so he just made an excuse.

"After all, they are the trainees I sent out. I know their level very well." Zhao Yixi confessed.

"Don't give up on Ning Yizhuo's idea. She will debut in SM. Your focus now is 101, followed by the boy band."

"Okay." Zhao Yixi also put away his regrets.

Compared to girl groups, boy groups are the real money-making tools.

Even though Su Jinxing plays in girl groups every day, the one that actually brings him huge profits is EXO.

The revenue generated by EXO as a group is as much as that of GFriend and Red Velvet, which is extremely exaggerated.

The consumption levels of male fans and female fans are not at the same level at all. Even for fans of girl groups, the main consumers are female fans.

The most intuitive thing is that most of the attendees at the book signing are women, and there are very few men.

And for a boy band whose fan base is basically composed of women, one can imagine its ability to attract money.

"Keep an eye on me at 101. If you need anything, please contact me anytime."

"Ok."

"Then let's say this first."

"Goodbye, Mr. Su."

After hanging up the phone, Su Jinxing put the phone on the table, stood up from the chair, and came to the floor-to-ceiling window of the office.

The top floor overlooks Seoul below.

After "Super Idol" is put on the agenda, preparations will begin for the handover ceremony between GFriend and Girls' Generation's new and old heritage.

The last stage of GFriend's long journey to ascend to God has been completed, and now it's time for GFriend to step on it and complete the ceremony of ascending to God.
