Chapter 16 Contradiction
"This is the girl group that our AB Entertainment will broadcast next month, EXID!"
Li Haoyang proudly declared to Li Chengyin, and then under his instructions, several people stood up one after another and introduced themselves:
"Na Neng Zheng Youzhi is one meter long..."
"Jiang Huiyan is one meter long..."
"LE An Hyo Jin!"
"HaNi An Xiyan..."
"Luo Hailing is one meter long!"
"Park Jung-hwa..."
There are six members in EXID. Li Chengyin’s first impression is that they are all quite tall.
When I saw the members of A Pink before, the tallest one seemed to be Chorong. Of course, this is just a visual observation, and the sisters are still growing, especially Na Eun, Yu Kyung and Ha Rong. It is estimated that they will all be taller than her in the future.
As for the six girls in front of me, the shortest one is probably Jiang Huiyan, who is about the same height as Chu Long. The rest are estimated to be around 167,168cm tall.
This makes people feel not like they are choosing a girl group, but like they are choosing a female model.
Of course, female models may be taller, but in a girl group, such a height, standing together with many female idols who are around 1.5 or 1.6 meters, can be said to be at the level of "giant"...
Li Haoyang seems quite proud of the lineup he has built by himself.
In his opinion, just the long legs of the water are enough to attract attention.
It’s the era of thighs, right? Are our legs as long as ours?
And because you are tall and have long legs, dancing is actually very visually impactful. Of course, the prerequisite is that you can dance well enough.
Just like what Li Chengyin saw just now...
As for the song problem, it was the least of his worries. Even without Li Chengyin, he could handle it all by himself.
This is the confidence that comes from a well-known music creator who has written many hit songs. If he didn't have this confidence, he would not dare to get involved in this field easily.
Talented people are less willing to work for others, and are always more willing to stand out on their own when given the opportunity.
Then Li Haoyang briefly explained to Li Chengyin that the backgrounds of these girls are not simple.
For example, Jung Yoo-ji, who is tentatively designated as the leader, was a trainee of JYP Entertainment and formed a four-member girl group with SISTAR member Hyorin, Secret member Ji-eun, and now another member of EXID, Ahn Hee-yeon.
After being eliminated from JYP, he joined the new company together with Ahn Hee-yeon and became the scheduled member and leader of EXID.
It is worth mentioning that An Xiyan went to China to study after being eliminated by JYP, so she still has a foundation in Chinese, which is another small factor that makes her valued by Li Haoyang.
After all, large companies are now actively exploring the Chinese market, and small companies also want to follow suit and open up new paths to get a share of the pie when domestic competition pressure is too great.
Also a JYP trainee is Park Jung Hwa. She used to be a child star, and later joined JYP. She also appeared in a certain song MV released by WG in 2007. However, after many years of trainee experience, she never got the chance to debut.
, so he left JYP and was picked up by Lee Ho Yang.
Luo Hailing was also a child star, and had experience as a trainee in JYP and CUBE. He also joined here after his debut was hopeless.
Ahn Hyo-jin is different from them. She is a female member of the underground group Jiggy Fellaz. She also collaborated with Xu Ge on a single last year. By coincidence, the heroine of the MV is Park Jung-hwa...
To be honest, after listening to this detailed introduction, Li Chengyin’s biggest feeling was that the peninsula is really small.
These people had some connection before coming here, so it seemed like they were destined.
And as expected, Li Haoyang was picked up from a big company.
Basically, these girls have already had the experience of being trainees, and finally they were pulled over by Li Haoyang through various means, and they gained the airs of this new girl group.
But it’s not enough to have airs. Since we are a group, we must look like a group.
But after Li Chengyin saw that they were not paying attention, several girls started chatting in twos and threes nearby. They didn't seem to be very familiar with each other, so they frowned and asked in a low voice: "President Li, please forgive me, how long have they been practicing together?"
Li Haoyang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How long do you think they can practice since my company has only been established for a few months?"
Although they all have the experience of practicing in a large company, their inability to debut is not necessarily a problem of their strength. It may conflict with the company's positioning or other reasons. However, to debut as a new group, it itself requires enough time to adjust and practice together.
.
But according to Li Haoyang, they may have known each other for less than two months, and they will have to sign a contract, choose songs, and set makeup for their debut.
Even the signing seems to have some problems.
The key to this issue lies in the binding force of the contract.
Generally, when artists signed by Peninsula Company debut, they will have contracts that are almost squeeze-y and binding, so as to prevent them from running away immediately after becoming popular.
But from what Li Haoyang said, I don’t know whether he is too confident or too unsure. He actually stipulated in the contract with these girls that if the debut song fails, the contract can be terminated.
(This is a hypothetical statement, do not take it seriously)
This doesn’t look like they’re in a girl group, they’re doing it for charity, right?
Even if he succeeds and becomes popular, wouldn't he be asking for trouble if he uses this clause to terminate the contract?
Or is it really the artistic bacteria that broke out at the critical moment and defeated the businessman side?
Li Chengyin frowned slightly and said: "So, Li Hao and Yang XI just position them as their own experimental products?"
"This..." Li Haoyang hesitated, and his expression even struggled.
Li Chengyin sighed, but he also knew that this was the case and there was nothing wrong with it.
If they can show some potential in the future, Li Haoyang may continue to invest in Yuan until they are smashed out.
When experimenting, there must be successful examples so that you can accumulate experience and know how to operate next time.

And if it doesn't work, then there will be nothing to say about the follow-up.
"Chengyin XI, do you have any ideas?"
Seeing Li Haoyang's glaring eyes, Li Chengyin thought about it and suddenly knew that he probably had some thoughts about the M he was in.
If the TV station can allocate resources...
But it was not opened by his own family. He can know his current identity and it is impossible not to know his background.
Seeing this, Li Haoyang added: "Chengyin XI has been in the TV station for so long, he should have learned some experience, right?"
Li Chengyin smiled and shook his head, "President Li is not counting on me to come up with any good ideas, is he?"
"Really not?"
"Well... according to my superficial understanding, it will definitely not work if you want to take the formal publicity route. You can only find another way and go eccentric..."
Of course, this also requires a certain amount of luck.
But you can make preparations first and wait until the time comes.
Li Haoyang pondered silently, thinking about Li Chengyin's suggestion.
"By the way, looking at President Li's positioning, does he want them to be sexy?"
Li Haoyang asked: "Chengyin XI thinks there is another way for them to go?"
Li Chengyin frowned slightly, but actually he felt a little pity.
But thinking about it, what the other party said is correct. Nowadays, girl groups are in a lot of trouble. If they follow the route of cuteness, ghosts, punk, etc., they may not be suitable. On the contrary, they will be more likely to be buried.
It's a sexy style, it's best to bring something that's forbidden in the 18's or 19's, it can be a blockbuster immediately.
People are naturally curious about things that are "forbidden".
But in this way, these girls have really embarked on a road of no return, and it will be difficult to turn back.
Even once you put on this label, it is not that easy to take it off.
In fact, if you look at the girl groups launched by the three major companies, you will know that none of them, including SNSD, miss A, and 2ne1, have a purely sexy style. These are all used by small companies who have found new ways to carve out a new way.
Once this initial impression is settled, it becomes even more difficult to transform later. After all, "It is easy to take off clothes, but it is difficult to put them back on." Although the nature is not exactly the same, the truth is the same.
Of course, judging from their songs and dance choreography just now, I don’t know if Li Haoyang also wants to leave a way out, so he has reservations, or plans to take it step by step. It seems that he is going to take a sexy style, but he is just trying it.
.
If you are not completely sexy, you are completely unsexy.
Even from Li Chengyin's perspective, I feel that their youthful vitality has diluted the temptation towards the opposite sex.
If you think about it carefully, you will understand that this is a problem with makeup.
The hairstyle and makeup look a bit cute, which is obviously different from the stage style.
So for a while, Li Chengyin didn't know whether to say that his company was a grassroots team, or that the company's positioning was inherently contradictory.
