Chapter 203 Are you afraid that he won’t be able to take a picture of us?
Seeing Quan Zhilong's proud look, Yien suddenly laughed, propping up her chin and sighing: "Do you feel that my temper has improved a little in the past two years? Your arrogance is starting to show?"
Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized it was true.
In the past two years, Ye-eun has only responded to the president when he criticized artists in person, and has complained less in private, as if she has become so speechless and too lazy to talk to him.
However, Quan Zhilong, who is gentle and polite in private, begins to show his proud and confident side in front of acquaintances.
"As expected, when you are together for a long time, you will be influenced by each other." Quan Zhilong's eyes were gentle, "It's good."
Yien also laughed. It was indeed good. Every step of their growth was influenced and shadowed by each other.
On the day she was leaving the UK, Ye-eun noticed a camera pointed at her when she was leaving the hotel. She pressed the nose strip of her mask and turned around to wave at the other person.
This reporter has been following Yi-eun for a few days, and he has gotten used to it after being caught several times. He calmly held up the camera and aimed it at Yi-eun to adjust the focus, and when he finished taking the photo and realized it didn't look good and was about to delete it when he was suddenly startled.
That's not right. Why should he really take a nice photo of her as the other party said?
When Ye-eun came over with her assistant, he was still looking down at the photos. "Why are you taking such a close-up shot this time?"
The cameras used by entertainment reporters like them are all professional equipment, and standing far away does not affect their filming at all. Ye-eun looked at the camera in the other person's hand curiously. The reporter from D agency curled her lips and looked up at her, "GD is promoting his music in Korea today, I'm just here to help."
"Oh, you're here to take pictures of him, then why are you following me?" Ye-eun smiled, then laughed out loud at the speechless look of the reporter, "Can you take better pictures of me when you go back?"
Make yourself look better in photos! The reporter blurted out, "It's not me who will go back with you."
Ye-eun sighed regretfully, raised her hands and clasped them together, "Okay, then could you please ask your colleagues to take better pictures of me?"
"I'll tell you when the time comes..." The reporter finally relaxed when he saw the friendly smile of the artist in front of him. There weren't many artists who were so friendly to them...
The reporter who had a relatively good temper in the company glanced at Ye-eun and said he just met him. Other people in their company were not so easy to talk to. After making a big news in the first year of its establishment, there was no big news for a year. Now they are following the popular artists in order to compete for performance.
With poor performance, the company's funds naturally began to be tight. Thinking of the recent quarrels among the company's top executives over whether to seek investment, he paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "What about GD?"
Although Yeen is popular, she is not a producer after all. In this industry, the quality of the songs is king. GD, the producer who has written countless hit songs, doesn't know whether his company will be closely watched if it really accepts investment.
Even though their kind of work is already criticized by everyone, most of them are unwilling to become "dogs" who are pointed at and beaten wherever others point their fingers after their company is involved with entertainment companies.
"Ah?" Ye Eun was stunned for a moment. Although everyone knew their relationship, when asked directly by Kwon Ji-yong, she couldn't just answer "Help my boyfriend take better-looking photos."
Besides, she didn't know if the other party was recording. Ye-eun thought about it and answered casually, then immediately changed the subject: "It's up to him, just take a good picture of me. By the way, reporter nim, are we on the same flight? I'm on the 5pm flight."
"…" I'm not a bastard, why are you telling me which flight it is? However, thinking this, he quickly lowered his head and changed the flight, "Got it, got it, I'll help you take better-looking photos at the airport."
"Thank you!" Ye-eun put her hands together and bowed to him with curved eyes. "By the way, this is a small gift I bought for you."
The reporter took the small gift handed over by the assistant and took a look at it. Well, the small gift mentioned by the artist is enough for half a month's salary. He curled his lips as he watched Ye-eun leave, thinking that he had taken a photo of you making a snowman three months ago, and that photo was indeed pretty...
After putting away the gift, he thought about it carefully. Who said this kid was stingy? This kid is really generous when necessary...
In mid-March, "Dancing 9" was officially recorded. There was a contestant card in front of Ye-eun. Several Korean contestants recognized her and kept turning their heads to look at her, while some foreign contestants didn't know Ye-eun at all, but when they saw everyone was paying attention to that girl, they couldn't help but turn their heads to take a look.
Ye-eun was very comfortable in the group. After going through the whole circle, she added the contact information of all the dancers she wanted to meet. Among them, Ha Hui-dong, a senior who has been dancing for longer than her, was a little surprised to see Ye-eun jogging and bowing to him.
"Hello, hello." He Huidong also bowed and greeted. Although he held the title of world champion, he had also been teaching artists to dance in an entertainment company in the past two years. He had actually heard about the scheduled mentor lineup before participating in this program, but he did not expect that one of the artists on the mentor list would become a contestant.
Koreans seem to pay a lot of attention to maintenance. Even though he is already 35 years old, Ha Huidong looks very young. After greeting his senior, Ye Eun curled her eyes at him and said, "I watched your competition in France a few years ago. He was amazing! He has great control over his body!"
He Huidong was slightly shocked, then bowed slightly again to express his gratitude and laughed, "I also watched a few episodes of your show last year. Although you are young, you have solid basic skills and your choreography is very creative."
He turned around and looked around. Everyone was chatting and no one noticed them. He lowered his head and whispered, "If we are in the same group this time, I hope we can work together well."
There are only two groups, and as long as they pass the audition, there is a 50% chance of becoming teammates. Yeen also nodded with a smile.
MC Oh Sang-jin was previously the host of "Dancing With The Stars", so he is already familiar with hosting a dance variety show again this time.
After the rules were introduced, the auditions began without any pause. Ye-eun looked at the judges on the big screen. Among the mentors divided into two groups, red and blue, the one she was most familiar with was Popin J from the red team - YG's former popping mentor who had taught them and Bigbang, while the blue team consisted of two members from Girls' Generation.
After the contestants come on stage, it is their presentation time and the mentors can choose which group will grab the person first. The other group can then use their only two chances to grab the person.
The previous contestants were selected or stopped in the audition one by one. When Ye-en came on stage, she started performing without introducing herself like all the other contestants.
This time she chose a song with a strong sense of rhythm. Ye Eun stood in the middle of the small stage, wearing a simple shirt and trousers, with the baseball cap on her head slightly blocking her vision. When the music moved with her, almost every movement became visualized music.
When the tempo quickened during the chorus, Ye-eun actually began to use her body to express the emotions of the different tracks, which was both appealing to the public and expressed her own emotions. Her basic skills and texture are among the best among dancers of her age.
Compared with the previous dancers, she may not have practiced dancing for the longest time, but perhaps because of her profession, she is the best at keeping up with the music.
Popin J from the red team and Woo Hyun-young, the recognized No. 1 jazz dancer in Korea who has won the Cultural and Arts Merit Award and the Special Artist Award, looked at each other and pressed the selection button at the same time.
The judges of the blue team also looked at each other.
After the simple one-minute presentation, Yeen glanced at the red team button that had lit up, her eyes curved, and it happened that several of her favorite contestants were also on the red team.
Woo Hyun-young is the friend who once mentioned this program to Kim Joo-won. The two had studied ballet and jazz together in New York. She knew that this artist was recommended by her friend to be a mentor on the program. Although she was curious to see that he became a contestant, she did not ask many questions.
"Li Yienxi, right? I saw that the dance style you wrote on your profile is urban?" She looked at Yien curiously, "Are you a choreographer? The moves you used the most just now were also from jazz, right?"
When Ye Eun was in S/M, her teacher told her that since she had learned ballet, she could develop in the direction of jazz. After joining YG, she did not slacken her practice. Although she had to learn various dances afterwards, she danced jazz the most.
She nodded, showing great respect for Korea's top jazz dancer, bowed slightly and replied, "Yes, I have studied jazz for many years."
Yu Xuanying nodded. As a girl, she would naturally pay attention to the gender ratio in the team.
There are few female dancers and even fewer choreographers in this show. She glanced at the red team instructor who was eager to get the card to grab the person, then looked down at the notes on her form and took the lead in using her understanding of dance to attract Ye-eun.
"Nowadays, many dancers choreograph by slightly modifying one set of movements and then fitting them into all songs. However, your choreography for the chorus is very interesting. Your set of movements actually fits all songs into one set of movements?"
Ye-eun smiled and curved her eyes. She was not surprised that this world-class mentor could tell that her set of movements was actually made up after listening to many songs. "Yes, because choreography is very interesting, so sometimes when I hear music, I want to choreograph a dance for it. I wonder if there is a set of movements that can express the rhythm and rhythm of different songs..."
Before she finished speaking, B-boy Ducky from the blue team immediately pressed the button to grab players. He looked a little anxious, "We don't have a choreographer yet..."
What’s even more frightening is that there are no choreographers among the contestants behind!
Ducky, who is a judge in various competitions around the world, got anxious here. The two members of Girls' Generation sat on the side, smiled and tried to speak: "Ye-eun, come to the blue team? We will be there..."
“Hey hey hey!” Popin J from the red team also raised the microphone, “Ye-eun was my student before. She can’t choose the blue team, right?”
Ye-eun looked at the chaotic scene on the judges' panel above the stage and raised her hand without hesitation, "I vote for the red team."
“…Think about it again!” Several mentors from the blue team looked at the grabbing button in front of them, “Ye-en, we used the grabbing button for you.”
Ye-en bowed to them, thanked them with a smile, and raised the microphone without hesitation and said, "Red Team."
Popin J was full of pride when he put the red team badge on Ye-eun. "Oh my god, this kid has been like this since she was young. She sticks to her decision. I know her too well."
And we never waste our time. You guys used your chance to snatch people but I just wanted to be on the red team! As soon as Popin J finished speaking, several judges from the blue team glared at him, "You looked anxious just now, but you don't seem to understand her."
Ye-eun smiled, waved to a few judges, and left the stage area.
After one day of recording, the red and blue teams had been divided. Ye-eun looked at her teammates. In addition to the already famous B-boy like Ha Hui-dong, there were also high school and college students of the same age as her. The most special one among them was a ballet dancer.
Ye-eun and the other party looked at each other and nodded. MC Oh Sang-jin announced the rules of the next game, "The two teams need to choreograph a dance of at least 8 people as the final test, and the remaining contestants need to take additional quizzes. The final test score accounts for 60% of the total score, and the quiz score accounts for 40% of the total score..."
The MC was announcing the rules on the stage, but the contestants below had already started making arrangements in their minds.
Ye-en looked at her mentor, who only occasionally participated in the discussion, and felt deeply that she had made the right decision.
After the recording of the first episode was completed, Ye-eun was indeed entrusted with an important task by a team with only one choreographer. Several team members in charge of the final test discussed the song selection before leaving the TV station.
When she got home, Kwon Ji-yong had just returned. She checked the schedule sent to her by her agent Xiaopang. Next month, Nikon camera D3200 will be officially released, and 2NE1 has also taken on this endorsement this time. She suddenly thought of the reporter she met in England.
He lowered his head and sent a message to his assistant. She put away her phone. Quan Zhilong had just finished removing his makeup when he heard the door open. He walked out of the room without seeing anyone enter the room or wiping his face. His face was still wet. Seeing that Yi Eun played with her phone as soon as she got home, he deliberately rubbed his face against hers, "Who are you texting? Why didn't you come in to see me first when you came back?"
Ye Eun smiled and dodged, "I gave it to Unnie. I asked her to give a camera to the reporter I met in England before."
"Ah?" Quan Zhilong was so stunned that he hugged her. He looked down at her suspiciously, "Giving a camera to a reporter? Are you afraid that he won't be able to take a picture of us?"
“Hehe.” Ye-eun raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Of course not, I just feel that this reporter has a relatively good personality, let’s see if we can become friends in the future…”
Quan Zhilong did not ask any more questions. He lowered his head and rubbed the water on her face. Then he ran away quickly when Yien raised her hand: "Who told you to ignore me the first time you came back!"
A few days later, a reporter who received a Nikon camera that had not yet been released as a gift was stunned for a moment, "Who gave it to you?"
He murmured to himself as he checked the gift sent to the company. After seeing the small card in the gift, he sighed and thought silently in his heart, why don’t you guys, YG, invest a little. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if I really fabricated fake news for you guys in the future…
A colleague glanced at him and whispered, "The company is running out of money to pay salaries these days. Do you have money to buy new equipment?"
The reporter carefully put away the camera and said nonchalantly: "For those who eat, you should use something good."
