Chapter 119 Lee Hyori sings out of tune (Additional update)
Zhang Junfeng, who was smiling, suddenly felt uneasy after hearing Li Fuzhen's half-threatening reminder. He just wanted to see if there were any female celebrities he knew at the trainee selection competition. He didn't want to run into such trouble, right?
But seeing Li Fuzhen looking at him, Zhang Junfeng did not say what was in his heart. He just put the cut fruit on a toothpick and handed it to Li Fuzhen, using the fruit to stop someone who was about to continue speaking.
…
The next morning, not long after seeing Li Fuzhen off from the villa, Zhang Junfeng packed up and set off for SM Entertainment with his bodyguards.
When Zhang Junfeng arrived at the company, he found that a large number of young men and women had gathered outside the competition venue where banners and posters were hung. They were holding filled-in registration forms in their hands and queuing there in high spirits, waiting for the start of the first round of auditions.
"...Oh my god, are young people so enthusiastic about debuting as entertainers at this time?" Zhang Junfeng looked at the grand occasion in front of him and couldn't help but complain in a low voice.
However, the company staff who had been waiting outside to greet them didn't wait for Zhang Junfeng to continue complaining. They stepped forward and greeted Zhang Junfeng respectfully, and led them quickly into the company's office area.
Thanks to the huge financial support from Zhang Junfeng, SM Entertainment has now completely upgraded! Walking into the building, you can clearly see that the decoration style combines modern and luxurious elements, highlighting the company's unique charm. The interior of the headquarters building is open and bright, with the overall color tone dominated by white and gold, creating an elegant and fashionable atmosphere.
As if seeing that Zhang Junfeng was somewhat curious about the situation of the company's office building, the company executive in charge of guiding gave Zhang Junfeng a brief introduction.
The interior of the building is divided into multiple areas, including the front desk reception area, artist practice room, music production room, conference room and rest area, etc. Each area has been carefully designed to meet functional requirements while taking into account aesthetics.
The front desk reception area is bright and spacious, decorated with the company logo and artist posters, showing the company's professionalism and vitality; the artist practice room is well-equipped and spacious, providing a good training environment for artists; the music production room is equipped with advanced recording equipment and comfortable creative space, providing strong support for music creation.
…
Soon, Zhang Junfeng came to the president's office under the guidance of the other party. Seeing Zhang Junfeng coming, Li Xiuman quickly stood up to greet him. In the next ten minutes, Li Xiuman gave a brief report on the company's management and operation during this period, but Zhang Junfeng was not interested in it and he didn't pay much attention to it.
In his opinion, he only needs to be responsible for investment, ensuring that capable people manage the company well and not let the company suffer losses. In his previous life, Li Xiuman was able to turn a "studio" into a company from scratch, so he should have no problem with his management ability for SM Entertainment.
As for whether this guy would swallow the company's money and run away like he did in his previous life, Zhang Junfeng believed that this guy was a smart man and would know what he could and could not do! If he really swallowed the money without knowing what was good for him, even if it was lost overseas, he could catch him back and make him spit out all the money he swallowed. As for the rest of his life, he would just have to step on the sewing machine in there until he died!
As if he noticed that Zhang Junfeng was looking at him with a slightly uneasy look, Li Xiuman felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking of the purpose of Zhang Junfeng's visit, he smiled and told Zhang Junfeng about the general situation of this trainee selection competition.
It turns out that after SM Entertainment received a large amount of financial support and corporate cooperation from Zhang Junfeng, not only did the office area get greatly improved, but the treatment of the artists and trainees under the company also improved a lot. In particular, the trainees who were recruited before were only provided with food and drink by the company, but now they can get a considerable living allowance every month! Such treatment has greatly increased the sense of belonging of these trainees to the company, and they have worked harder in their daily training. For this trainee selection competition, they have done several rounds of promotion and publicity in Seoul, and the boys and girls who got the news signed up enthusiastically, fearing that they would miss the great opportunity to become stars.
Moreover, for many young boys and girls from ordinary families, coming to SM Entertainment as a trainee can also relieve a lot of pressure from their families. After all, the current economic situation in China is not optimistic. In many families, the husbands, wives, or even both of them have lost their jobs, and their lives are quite difficult...
…
As the competition time approached, Zhang Junfeng and Li Xiuman sat in the guest area and watched with interest the contestants whose turn it was to go on stage to perform their talents.
But after seeing the lively scene in my previous life where beautiful girls and handsome boys with all kinds of figures and good looks sang and danced on the stage and drew cheers from the whole audience, I obviously couldn't get interested when I saw these young people whose singing and dancing seemed very immature.
Seeing Zhang Junfeng's lack of interest, Li Xiuman was also shocked. It seemed that the boss was not satisfied with the performance! However, since things had come to this point, he could not do anything at this moment. He could only continue to watch the progress of the game in the distance from the guest seat.
…
Dozens of minutes passed by unknowingly. Just when Zhang Junfeng was bored and was planning to find an excuse to leave, he heard the host calling out an extremely familiar name - Lee Hyori!
Zhang Junfeng was a little surprised at first, wondering if he had misheard. It was not until the tall girl called Lee Hyori came on stage and sang a popular song that Zhang Junfeng realized that this girl who looked 70% to 80% like Lee Hyori was the top female singer who topped the MBC music program "MUSIC CAMP" song chart with the song "10 Minutes" within two weeks and was nicknamed "National Fairy" by fans! However, Lee Hyori's performance after she came on stage was quite ordinary, and there were even a few out-of-tune parts in the song she sang. The judges in charge of scoring shook their heads helplessly and gave a low score, which also marked Lee Hyori as eliminated.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Seeing Lee Hyo-ri leaving the stage somewhat disappointed, Zhang Junfeng in the guest seat said to Lee Xiuman beside him, "President Lee, isn't this selection and scoring a bit hasty? I think this girl named Lee Hyo-ri has a good look and voice. I think she will definitely be a good candidate after some training."
