I am not an artist when I am reborn

Chapter 374 Exclusive Interview—The Last Voice
Chapter 84 Interview - The Last Voice
Han Ouhui Building, studio.

The character column staff of "Korean Wave Frontline" are busy and seize the time to debug the machinery and equipment.

"Korean Wave Frontline" has four categories of columns: film and television, Korean Wave, entertainment, and people.

The film and television column is only used to announce film and television news, including news about domestic and foreign films in Korea.

The Korean Wave column only reports on the achievements of Kpop groups. The latest article is an exclusive interview conducted by GFriend and Girls’ Generation after they completed the generation-level scene of the generational change of SM girl groups at the Music Center.

The entertainment column is about gossip news. As a media, how can it not have a column about entertainment gossip news?
Moreover, there are currently very few gossips in "K-pop Frontline", but every piece of news must be true as long as it breaks out.

In terms of public trust, this is already tied with or even surpassed by D agency.

The last character column is a bit more serious than the first three columns.

This column is an exclusive interview with people who have made important contributions to the field of Korean entertainment. It is usually updated once a month and will be posted on the official website for one month.

It has been more than a month since the last updated interview with Min Hee Jin, and the new issue has not been released until now in September.

Exclusive interview with Su Jinxing.

"Korean Wave Frontline" is a media owned by Korean Opup Club and wholly owned by Clear Sky Capital. Su Jinxing, the president of Korean Pop Club and Clear Sky Capital, is technically the boss of the parent company of their "Korean Wave Frontline" newspaper.

Interviewing such a big shot made the whole column very nervous.

In particular, Su Jinxing had previously announced that he would show his last dance as a producer, which made the already popular Su Jinxing a hot topic of discussion in the Korean Wave world.

Looking at the short years of producer Su Jinxing's debut, his experience can only be described perfectly as a legend.

For this exclusive interview, the entire character column worked overtime day and night, discussing how to do this exclusive interview.

Not only must Su Jinxing's identity be taken into consideration, but too sharp questions must not be asked.Also pay attention to the amount of reading and avoid asking too boring questions.

This will test the strength of the column team.

After working hard for less than half a month today, it is finally the day to record the interview.

"President, please come this way." The president of the "Korean Wave Frontline" newspaper said respectfully to Su Jinxing, guiding him on the way.

"The president is here, the president is here, everyone is in position." The chief PD wore a headset and conveyed the news to various departments of the column team in the studio.

Everyone immediately started to move. When Su Jinxing and the president and his group appeared at the entrance of the studio, everyone stood up and saluted Su Jinxing in unison.

"Who is responsible for the interview?" Su Jinxing smiled and nodded, then asked.

The female host in charge of the interview walked over on high heels, covered her chest with her left hand, and bowed to Su Jinxing.

"President Nim, I am your host for this interview. My name is Jiang Zhenna."

"I've heard of you." Su Jinxing said with a smile as he looked at Jiang Zhenna, who had an outstanding appearance and a figure that was not inferior to Qian Hongzhu.

"One of our best reporters at Hallyu Frontline, I often see your name in the newspaper."

Nowadays, newspapers have been gradually eliminated, but Su Jinxing still receives newspapers from "Korean Wave Frontline".

The name Jiang Zhenna was often seen by Su Jinxing.

"This is my honor." Jiang Zhenna showed a generous smile and thanked her.

"Mana Xi, please show today's interview topic to the president." The president reminded.

"Okay." Jiang Zhenna responded after being reminded. The staff on the side walked over quickly and handed Jiang Zhenna a folder.

Jiang Zhenna handed it over to Su Jinxing.

"You guys go on, I'm going to look at the topic." Su Jinxing raised the folder in his hand and said.

"President, you are free to do as you like." The president smiled and nodded, then gave Jiang Zhenna a look.

Jiang Zhenna understood.

"President Nim, let's go to the interview venue."

"it is good."

Su Jinxing and Kang Jinna came to the filming location for the interview together. It was a bit like an oxygen stage interview, with a single sofa for each person, a coffee table in the middle, and the logo and name of "Korean Wave Frontline" on the back.

"President, please sit here."

"Okay." Under Jiang Zhenna's guidance, Su Jinxing sat down and looked through the folder in his hand.

Jiang Zhenna sat on the sofa next to Su Jinxing.

"Zhenna, please pay attention to your tone when you ask questions later." The voice of the chief PD came from the headset.

Jiang Zhenna nodded towards the camera, indicating that she heard it.

"Asking..."

Jiang Zhenna was communicating with the chief PD, while Su Jinxing on the side was browsing these questions.

There are a lot of questions. After all, this is an exclusive interview and it will be over without reading two or three questions.It's just our own newspaper, so there aren't too many sharp questions.

After a rough browse, Su Jinxing put down the folder.

"It's time to start." Su Jinxing said to Jiang Zhenna.

"Ok."

"Every department is in place." The chief PD's voice came over.

The lights were turned on, illuminating the interview booth.

The background sound sounded at this moment.

“When you think of Hallyu, what do you think of first?”

"Is it EXO, Girls' Generation? Or the entertainment company behind the scenes that created these groups?"

"Since the policy of establishing a cultural nation was introduced in 1998, entertainment industry giants represented by SM Entertainment have operated many national-level groups that are household names."

"It was under their leadership that Hallyu was able to go abroad and become popular around the world. Today, we are honored to invite the president of SM Entertainment, the founder and first president of the Hallyu Idol Association, and a gold medal producer of Hallyu to create The emperor of the new era of Hallyu, Su Jinxing nim came to our column."

The camera showed Su Jinxing and Jiang Zhenna with the voice-over.

"Hello everyone, I am Kang Jin-na, the host of this "Korean Wave Frontline" character interview. President Su, come and say hello to everyone." The camera showed a close-up of Su Jinxing.

"Hello everyone, I am Su Jinxing." Su Jinxing said to the camera with a smile.

"Welcome to President Su." Jiang Zhenna clapped her hands gently.

"We all know that the popular group GFriend is a girl group created by Chairman Su. There are even rumors that the members of GFriend were personally selected by Chairman Su and brought back to SM. Is that true?" Kang Jin Na said after her opening remarks , raised the first question, and also led to the first core topic of today’s interview: GFriend.

"Well, that's it." Su Jinxing smiled and nodded, "There are many trainees in SM that I brought back when I was a producer, because many of my concepts at that time were beyond the capabilities of the existing group, so I I want to find some suitable trainees to come back and see if the company can let them debut."

“I kept looking, and then there were so many that my colleagues in the company at that time nicknamed me the scout producer.”

Jiang Zhenna laughed when she heard this.

"Scouting Producer? It is indeed a very appropriate nickname. Looking at the trainees selected by President Su in the past, we can find that President Su already had an excellent eye for identifying people during his producer period."

"I can only say thank you to these children." Su Jinxing said with a smile, "Thank you for persisting until the company's new combination is launched."

"Mutual success." Jiang Zhenna commented with a smile.

"You can say that." Su Jinxing smiled and nodded, "Many people say that I made GFriend a success, but in the process of making GFriend, GFriend's achievements were also fed back to me. What Jinnaxi said about mutual success is more For appropriateness.”

"Chairman Su, can you share with us some interesting stories you encountered during the operation of GFriend?" Jiang Zhenna asked again.

"A little fun fact... Well, let's talk about my favorite member SinB." Su Jinxing laughed, "SinB is the main dancer of GFriend, and her dancing level is very good. But SinB has a small problem. , her wrists were easily dislocated."

Su Jinxing raised his right hand and held the joint of his wrist.

"It's this position. Sometimes she would dislocate her wrist while dancing. I remember one time it was on the singing stage of "Time Passage". She dislocated her wrist on the stage, and then she faked it again during the dance break. Go back."

"That scene looked scary, but she actually felt no pain, and our medical team also checked her carefully. It was just a minor problem of hers and nothing serious." Su Jinxing smiled. said.

"Dancing and dislocating your head does sound scary." Jiang Zhenna nodded in agreement.

"Then there is Yelin. Many fans may know that Yelin and Red Velvet's Yeri are very close friends. In fact, in addition to the two of them, there are also (G)I-DLE's Yuqi, IZONE's Cai Yuan, Ruina, and Yuzhen. They are very close relatives, and they are also the children who cause the most headaches for the company’s staff.”

"Sounds like they are all lively members?" Jiang Zhenna asked with a smile.

"Yes, they are too lively and always make the company crazy." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

"It seems that these members have left a deep impression on President Su." Jiang Zhenna and Su Jinxing looked at each other and moved on to the next question.

"GFriend has experienced several key comebacks since its debut, especially the campus trilogy produced by Chairman Su, which was the key point for GFriend to truly take off."

"Which song does President Su like more?"

""time flies"."

"It seems that President Su and the public have made the same choice."

"This song is the song I put the most energy into, and it was also a song I made based on the market's preferences. My thoughts were incorporated into it, so I like this song the most." Su Jinxing explained.

"Every song produced by President Su is a work that has been tested by the market and has been widely recognized. However, some musicians think that the songs produced by President Su are too market-oriented and lose the artistry that the music should have. .”

"What do you think about this?"

Su Jinxing burst out laughing.

"No one understands, is a work that can only be used for self-pleasure considered art? A song that is recognized by the market and is not unknown and separated from the niche does not qualify as art? Does art that is separated from the public also deserve to be called art?"

Su Jinxing asked Jiang Zhenna three times in a row, leaving her confused.

Su Jinxing is criticizing those niche musicians who consider themselves artistic.

Big news!
Jiang Zhenna's eyes lit up.

"The so-called art is a music form that is popular with the public and has certain innovations. Can a song that you can only have a small group of people hiding in a corner and bragging about each other deserve to be called art?"

"Songs that are recognized by the market may not necessarily be artistic, but songs that are not accepted by the market and the public are definitely not works of art."

(Art is a matter of opinion. My concept here is to use the passage used by a great man to criticize a second-rate newspaper. Content that the people like to hear and see is art.)
"Maybe it's a bit outrageous, but that's my point of view."

"Besides, some people say that my works are not artistic." Su Jinxing laughed disdainfully, "Then when Red Velvet returns in October, I will let them know what art is!"

Isn't that the topic?

Kang Jin Na can already predict how much waves this interview will cause in the music industry.

There has always been a group of people in the pop music industry who pride themselves on niche art and are aloof from above. They look down on those golden songs recognized by the market and regard them as so-called "salable songs."

These people are also the same people who attack Su Jinxing for pandering to the market.

Before this, Su Jinxing had never paid attention to them, which made these people jump even more. If you don't care about him, he will kick his nose in the face.

Now, Su Jinxing responded and said that if you want art, I will give you art.

It's not that I can't, but it's not necessary.

Regardless of whether this song is artistic or not, the popularity of Red Velvet’s comeback is already enough.

"Chairman Su mentioned Red Velvet's return. What Red Velvet's office said on Instagram earlier was that this is your last work. Is that true?" Kang Jin Na suppressed her excitement and continued the interview.

"It's true." Su Jinxing nodded, "The company is busy with affairs, and I am a little overwhelmed. Producer Su's journey will end here."

"So, this comeback of Red Velvet is your last work and also the end of producer Su?" Kang Jin Na asked.

"The future belongs to young people. It's enough for an old-era producer like me to be here. This song is my last time as a producer. Please listen to my last work." Su Jinxing looked at the camera and said Said with a smile.

"Judging from Chairman Su's previous works, this time's work integrates art. I believe it will be a song that can be recorded in the history of Kpop." Kang Jin Na praised sincerely.

This is Su Jinxing, a super producer on the ceiling in the Korean pop world.

His final work, I believe, will be unprecedentedly outstanding.

"Producer Su is coming to an end, but the story belonging to Su Jinxing will continue. I believe that Chairman Su will bring more and better works to all of us as he leads the Korean wave."

"Thank you again, President Su, for coming. Audience friends, this exclusive interview ends here. See you in the next issue."
