Who can cross the line and become the empress will depend on their outstanding performance in the next few years.

WG (the plug-in group), which was responsible for opening the era of girl groups, left for the United States this year and its home country fell into a blank period.

Occasionally a small group would return, but the results were not ideal.

But President Gorillas' dream of conquering the United States has not been shattered, and WG has not been badly hurt by successive failures.

At this time, the "plug-in group" rode the popularity of "No body" and enjoyed the treatment of superstars.

Brown-eyed girl (fourth aunt) has great potential, is confident in her sound source, has a brilliant performance, and has become a top-tier singer in terms of popularity.

How to describe Kara's performance...

Pretty standard.

But in Li Zhenyu's eyes, they are not a threat. Compared with Kara, he is more worried about the numerous girl groups that will appear in the next few years.

From 2009 to 2011, the competition among girl groups was as fierce as that during the Warring States Period.

Therefore, the best performing groups in recent years are also jokingly called the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period."

All factors are indispensable for Girls' Generation to stand out and become the queen.

What Li Zhenyu is struggling with is whether or not to let Girls' Generation take into account the Japanese market and officially start their death journey.

If they want to take care of both Japan and South Korea, they need to stick to it for at least two years. Can Girls' Generation hold on? In just a moment, Li Zhenyu threw away the useless pity in his heart.

It doesn't make sense that SM is OK but he is not OK. "Secretary Xia, ask Agent Cheng to come over."

Cheng Yuli, who serves as the general manager of the group, is very proud of the formation of T-ara and the advent of Girls' Generation.

With the two treasures highly valued by the president in hand, Cheng Yuli finally no longer has to run around like a handyman and act according to people's wishes.

Now, she finally doesn't have to envy her former colleague, agent Luo Youlan anymore.

"Yuli."

"Inside?"

Looking back at the person who came, Cheng Yuli restrained her pride and said, "Sister Youlan, are you going out again?"

"Yes, IU is going to participate in the recording of a variety show. She will be busy again."

"I'm so envious. IU is so popular right now. People on the internet are saying that she is the future of South Korean solos."

"This is what she deserves. The little girl worked very hard." Luo Youlan said distressedly: "She hasn't been back to the dormitory for 50 days."

Every idol’s rising period is the same, working hard, working hard to catch up with their schedules.

Even if she grows to Dongshen's level, her schedule will not be easier than IU's, and the pressure will only be greater.

In just a few years, the Korean Wave has swept across East Asia and has had a certain impact in Europe and the United States.

The reckless internal competition has contributed greatly! There is a saying in the Korean entertainment industry, "Trainees are used as animals, and artists are used as machines. When they break, just throw them away and replace them with new ones."

This is why entertainment companies of all sizes continue to recruit trainees and make various combination plans in advance.

After launching a combination, we will reach a conclusion in 3 to 5 months.

No, I'll take the second group and prepare for the third group...

If it still doesn’t work, do the third set and prepare for the fourth set, and repeat this process over and over again.

Don't worry about investing too much or having no one available.

Living in the basement, eating ramen, paying for their own travel to participate in activities and publicity, there are still many people who are willing to persevere even if it means "paying to work".

Normal treatment is just enough to cover the basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Of course, small companies have more tricks.

If a trainee is unable to debut successfully, he or she will have to bear the expenses during the training period by himself or herself.

No money?

We are all good people and will introduce you to a good job.

Male, Ohm, that's even better.

Roast duck on the market is much more expensive than roast chicken.

Zy+'s model is somewhat different from theirs. In fact, from the very beginning, Luo Youlan and Cheng Yuli had some doubts about the company's decisions.

Whoever is chosen will have all resources mobilized, regardless of cost, and there will be no alternative plans.

Simply put, the company is too good to the artists and trainees.

So good that it makes people forget how to say the word "leave"...

This is why everyone feels that Zy+ is more like an entertainment venue for its own president than a normal entertainment company.

Now, their minds have changed.

Maybe the president didn't take this business seriously, but his vision was too sharp.

IU, Lee Joo-bin, Han So-hee, Lee Sung-min, Lee Ja-yeon, all the artists selected by him to join the company have developed very well.

The president's positioning of each of them is the most appropriate at the moment.

It was as if... as if he knew from the beginning what the future would be for everyone, and he just had to snap his fingers and put them back in the right place.

The same goes for Sun Yinzhu, Yin Shanying and Li Yanjing. The three of them are doing very well in the radio station.

In terms of revenue alone, the three of them are definitely at the top of the company.

At the last year-end summary meeting, Luo Youlan mentioned in his report that the three people’s total annual income was 29.7 billion yuan.

This number is beyond the reach of everyone.

When we are together, we often joke that "the president is like an omnipotent superhuman," and they don't need to do much, just follow his instructions.

Today, the joke has turned into reality, and they are indeed doing everything according to the president's instructions.

No questions, no doubts, just willingly following any of his orders.

"Congratulations on taking over the job of the girl group."

"Thank you, but congratulations should wait until their results are out. It's too early now."

"I believe the president has already made arrangements." Luo Youlan glanced at his watch and chuckled, "I hope you can still be so optimistic in a month."

IU is not the only one who is busy. Luo Youlan, who is in charge of independent artist affairs, is busier than anyone else.

Fortunately, the company assigns an assistant agent to each artist, so that she has enough helpers to deal with any troubles.

Hearing the sarcasm in her tone, Cheng Yuli's excitement was poured with a bucket of cold water.

Next, she had something to do.

"Agent Cheng Yuli, the president is looking for you." After receiving the call from Xia Zhuxi, Cheng Yuli's premonition became stronger and stronger.

When she arrived at the office and took over a horrible itinerary from Li Zhenyu that was filled with densely written words, like ants crawling all over the white paper, Cheng Yuli knew that all her arrangements for the second half of the year had been in vain.

When she turned to the second page, Cheng Yuli closed her eyes resigned to her fate. "Alas, next year's time is also wasted."

"This way I don't have to look up all kinds of information to make plans, which saves a lot of time. This should be considered good news... right?"

"If you need anything, ask now." Li Zhenyu didn't need to question.

She just needs to tell herself what help she needs to get the job done.

"I need a lot of manpower, a few dedicated business phones for easy communication... and an assistant. When I accompany the girls to Neon, someone has to be in charge of T-ara's work."

Remote control and coordination of activities for the two locations require more than just a mobile phone.
