Chapter 36 Yang Hyun Suk: Are you crazy? Go to S/M to recruit people?
Li Xiuman, who has not been seen for a long time, is now radiant and in high spirits. After all, he has launched three groups in a row and they have all been very popular. His wallet is full and his mood is naturally good.
Even he himself felt that he had become much kinder and more tolerant recently.
Just like this time, he waited for this kid for several minutes but he was not too angry. Li Xiuman stood in front of the window and adjusted the positions of several albums on it. He put HOT, which could bring him a lot of benefits, in the center. "Ye-en, how are you doing in the company recently?"
This is the opening line he always uses when chatting with the children in the company. Basically, every child’s answer is similar, such as “not bad” or “very good”.
However, this child did not play by the rules. Ye-en stood straight in front of her desk and thought seriously about her deepest feelings every month when she came to the company. "Boss, the teachers are so fierce."
My stepfather Uncle Jin is also a teacher, and the teachers in the elementary school are also teachers, but none of them are as fierce as the teachers in the company.
"What do you mean?" Li Xiuman smiled. Only a strict teacher can produce an excellent student, right?
Yien didn't notice his indifference, because this Agassi had helped her and Zhilong before, and Yien had a natural liking for him. She thought this Agassi was a "good person".
"The dance teacher said that several unnies were not very good at dancing, so she told them not to go back to the dormitory to sleep but to practice in the practice room. Also, the vocal teacher would sometimes kick the unnies when she got angry." Ye-eun frowned, but what she could not understand the most was that the unnies who were scolded never resisted, and would even touch their heads and say to herself who was comforting them that those teachers were doing it for their own good.
But one of my sisters told me today that she hasn’t been back to the dormitory for three days. She just takes a nap in the practice room when she’s tired every day…
"Oh, I see." Li Xiuman sat in the boss chair. When he heard the other party call him Agassi, his face was friendly and he didn't even frown. "Maybe the teachers are disappointed with me?"
Ye-eun looked up in confusion, her face serious, "Why do you say that? Can teachers beat people for the sake of unnies?"
Li Xiuman's eyes wandered over Yien's serious face. Different from those children who live in the company before their values are mature, she seems to be more "undisciplined" because she lives with Chinese parents, and she does not have a deep sense of seniority and inferiority. Other trainees are subtly influenced by the company, but this has no effect on her.
But it was also because of this clear-cut black-and-white character that once I "stood" on their side once, she seemed to treat me as one of their own.
When facing a child with this kind of personality, you have to treat him in a different way. Even though he decided to lower the age of recruiting trainees in the future to facilitate discipline after hearing what Ye-eun said, he also became serious on the surface, "Agassi knows about it and will tell the teachers."
The little girl's eyes curved up after hearing his perfunctory words of comfort. He leaned back in his chair and said, "I heard from the teachers that Ye-en performed very well in both acting and dance classes. Does Ye-en want to be an actor?"
It can be said that Yeen's appearance is born to do this job, with an oval face, beautiful features, eyebrows like water, and eyes like stars. When this Chinese child is not smiling, she looks like a Chinese ink painting, fresh and elegant, but when she smiles, she becomes as bright and vivid as a watercolor painting.
Moreover, idols need to be obedient, but actors can have some personality of their own. Li Xiu, who was heartbroken by Hyun Jin-young, the first singer trained by S/M, thought about it.
Ye-eun shook her head in confusion, "I don't like it." Compared to acting in which she plays someone else, she prefers singing and dancing, which allows her to express herself.
Li Xiuman smiled and made the final decision, "Didn't you perform well as the flower boy last time? You can also give it a try in this MV shooting, Ye-eun."
After the other party left with a reluctant look on his face, Li Xiuman turned the pen in his hand, thought for a moment and then made a phone call.
A few days later, when Ye Eun was taken to a filming by her mother, she still had a sad face. She advised Zhilong to find a new job after he started working for her, but she ended up becoming this donkey's official trainee. What's going on?
"Ye'en should still practice normally, just go instead of once a month to every week. You don't have to be an actor, even if you want to be an idol, if Ye'en doesn't like it in the future, we can just not debut." Li Zhen squatted down and comforted her. After talking with Director Li Xiuman for a long time that day, she had to admit that some of what he said made sense.
For example, S/M is indeed the leader among Korean entertainment companies now, and Ye-eun is very talented in this area and maybe she can really develop in this direction in the future. And as the other party said, they will only provide more resources to formal trainees, such as the shooting of Seo Taiji's MV this time.
Even during the trainee period, the profit sharing ratio between me and the company was 9:1.
She had only signed informal trainees before because her family was not wealthy, but now that her branch has opened, she can afford the final trainee termination fee in her daughter's performing arts contract if she grits her teeth.
"Okay." Ye-eun sighed, holding her mother's hand and looking back at the set, "Where is the uncle that Agassi was talking about?"
While she was looking for Choi Jin Yeol, Choi Jin Yeol also saw the beautiful child that his former partner had mentioned. It was indeed a child that could be seen at a glance even in a crowded crowd.
"Is this little Yi-eun?" He greeted Li Zhen and waved to Yi-eun with a smile, "Come over with Agassi."
Choi Jin Yeol was once in the S/M project with Lee Soo Man. At that time, they were young and frivolous, full of confidence, and invested almost all their resources in Hyun Jin Young. However, not long after the other party became popular, his career plummeted because of □□.
Li Xiuman still held out hope of bringing him back to prominence, but in the blink of an eye, he became the manager of Seo Taiji and the boys.
The other party also took advantage of her guilt and allowed the girl to star in Seo Taiji's MV without even having to go for an interview.
Ye-eun didn't know about their past experiences. When asked what she thought of Lee Soo-man, she answered blankly, "Agassi? He's pretty good, a good person."
Cui Zhenlie smiled, met the little girl's eyes, raised his hand and rubbed her head, "Oh my god, what a simple child."
Ye-eun didn't understand why the other party said that, and she didn't care, because she saw Shin Se-kyung standing obediently in front of the director. Seeing an acquaintance, she raised her hand happily and greeted: "Se-kyung unnie!"
Shin Se-kyung got this opportunity through an interview. When he first arrived today, he heard that another girl would also be filming with him. His originally uneasy mood calmed down when he saw Ye-eun, "Ye-eun, it's you."
The filming for the two of them was not difficult. In the MV, they played a pair of sisters, one representing Seo Taiji's former happiness and passion, and the other symbolizing the singer's loss and confusion in the past two years.
In the final cover shoot, Ye Eun and Shin Se Kyung faced the camera hand in hand, one with her hair tied up and smiling brightly, while the other with her long hair loose and crying silently.
Yang Hyun Suk stood next to Seo Taiji, and the two of them looked at the two children standing in the studio, and countless thoughts came to their minds.
"You're finally back." Yang Hyun Suk patted the man who was once very popular in Korea. They were once glorious, but the tide of the times caught them off guard.
When South Korea decided to build a "culture-based nation", their heavy metal rock music was excluded.
The idol who was once praised as a fashion leader was suddenly regarded as a heretic by countless people one day, and was even banned by the Korean Film and Television Ethics Committee.
Seo Taiji turned his eyes away from the two children and looked at his former teammates. He smiled and responded as if the two years he had escaped to the United States had never happened again. "Brother, how are you doing now? Is the company doing well? I heard that it changed its name again?"
After changing his name three times in three years, Yang Hyun Suk even laughed at himself, "Well, I'll use my nickname Yang Goon. I don't know if I'll change it in the future."
He then sighed again, "I also released an album this year, and the company also promoted a group, but it didn't make any splash at all."
If you were to ask who the common thorn in the eyes of the presidents of Korean entertainment companies is right now, everyone would definitely give the unanimous answer - S/M's Lee Soo-man.
"kkk," Seo Taiji was amused by his honest words and pointed at the little girl in the studio with smiling eyes that made people happy. "Look, that's the S/M trainee. Be careful not to let her hear it. I heard that Li Xiuman personally recommended her."
Yang Hyun Suk then took a serious look at her, and said with a twitch of his lips, "She looks like an S/M type. She really likes good-looking kids."
Unlike those rock musicians, they always value strength more than appearance.
"How about poaching her?" Seo Taiji stroked his chin and joked, "A kid that S/M values so much should be pretty capable, right?"
Yang Hyun Suk laughed out loud: "Are you crazy? People who work at S/M are willing to come to a small, unknown company like mine?"
But I couldn’t help but think in my mind, it’s hard to poach people from big companies, but what about small companies? Maybe there will be some surprises.
Although Ye-eun couldn't hear the conversation between the two people because of the distance, she was keenly aware that someone was looking at her. I turned my gaze to the corner and saw an uncle wearing a hat meeting my eyes.
Ye-eun raised the corners of her mouth towards the camera, but when her eyes saw his face wrinkled with laughter, her mind couldn't help but wander, thinking, how could an old man have wrinkles like a chrysanthemum when he smiles.
After returning home that day, Yien's mind was still full of that wrinkled face. She lowered her head and glanced at the questions on the test paper, but the answers were immediately locked in her mind while she was chatting.
She held the pen and filled a number in the box. When she looked at the next question, she said, "Oh my God, Zhilong, I'm telling you, you didn't see it. When Agassi smiled, his whole face wrinkled together, even around his eyes were wrinkles. It was totally ridiculous!"
Kwon Ji-yong was also doing a math test at that time, which was in stark contrast to Yi-eun who finished a question easily. He was scratching his head and calculating the questions in his draft book, and replied perfunctorily, "Ah, really?"
Then when he found that the answer he had calculated was not included in the options, he erased his draft with an eraser with a bitter face and started calculating again as if nothing had happened.
Yien finished her homework quickly and glanced to the right. The answers to Kwon Ji-yong's exercise book were placed aside. Although his face was full of pain while calculating, he did not look at the answers. She propped her chin with both hands and looked at Quan Zhilong's test paper full of red pen marks, "You are so serious, Zhilong."
How can you be so serious and still be wrong?
Yi Eun, who was born with a talent for learning, looked at Jin Hejun behind her, a university teacher who left after teaching at the university, but was very serious in tutoring children with their homework at home.
Quan Zhilong finally gave up on this question, raised his hand obediently, turned around and asked Jin Hejun, "Uncle, how do you solve this problem?"
Jin Hejun looked down and saw that it was a pursuit problem that the fourth graders had just started learning. It was indeed a bit confusing for a child who had just started learning. He moved a small stool and sat next to Quan Zhilong and began to explain.
"Ah? Why? Why do the two distances have to be added together?"
"Oh, draw a picture. Wait uncle, I didn't draw this circle well."
"Alright, alright, you can start chasing now."
The voice of Quan Zhilong came from behind. Yien took a bite of the apple and hugged her mother. She said vaguely, "Mom, my right tooth seems to hurt a little."
Li Zhen lowered her head and pried open her mouth. Sure enough, a tooth on the right side began to wobble. "Don't eat candy recently. Don't think that Zhilong secretly brings you a candy every day without your mom noticing."
She glanced at Ye-eun, who looked guilty, and said, "You're still eating candy every day during your teething period. If you continue to eat it secretly, you'll get cavities and teeth changing at the same time. Then it will start to hurt at the same time."
Ye-eun blinked and nodded, “Okay.”
Then she leaned on the kitchen door and shouted to Quan Zhilong, "Zhilong, my mom told you not to bring me candy anymore, did you hear me?"
The two looked at each other, and Yi-eun blinked frantically. Quan Zhilong immediately understood, raised his hand and made an OK sign, and responded: "Don't worry, aunt! I will take good care of Yi-eun."
However, a few days later, when Yi-eun ran to him crying and holding up a tooth stuck in a candy, Li Zhen held his forehead helplessly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You two...really."
Han Lanji also laughed. She pulled Yien's teeth out of the candy, cleaned them, and soaked them in hydrogen peroxide. She joked to the guilty Quan Zhilong, "Son, you have to avenge your great hatred! I will help you preserve them."
