Chapter 87 The 8th Youth BEST Selection Conference
Many turning points in life, the team is actually very important. This is what is called "fans are different from fate."
===========================
The 8th S.M Youth BEST Selection Conference is about to begin. This selection is very common in South Korea. TV stations and major entertainment brokerage companies will also be held from time to time. The difference is nothing more than the size of the scale.
The main selection of S.M company is the youth BEST selection conference, S.M_Starlight_Casting_System, and the weekend Open_Casting_Audition. Of course, if you are a scout or recommended by other artists, you still need to participate in one of these selections to participate in the assessment. However, compared to the contestants you register, this type of person will have a little more advantage, at least you don’t have to wait too long.
S.M_Starlight_Casting_System is a slightly more professional selection regularly. The biggest difference between this selection and the youth BEST selection is one is the number of people and the other is the scope. S.M_Starlight_Casting_System is not only held in South Korea, but also regularly in China and the United States. However, the youth BEST selection conference is only in South Korea.
In fact, there is basically no big difference between these two selection conferences in the early stages. However, the youth BEST selection conference focuses more on exploration, that is, it focuses more on age and potential. The word teenager limits age. But S.M_Starlight_Casting_System does not have age restrictions. However, if you are too old, you are embarrassed to participate, right?
After 2004, the youth selection conference focused more on diversity, and even GAG would have special evaluations. Relatively speaking, S.M_Starlight_Casting_System still focused on the conditions required for traditional cultivation of traditional stars, such as acting skills, appearance, singing and dancing.
Open_Casting_Audition is much smaller in scale. There are always some people who are impatient or who are in Seoul. They don’t have to wait for such a large-scale selection before participating. Moreover, too many people are more likely to be nervous. So many people choose Open_Casting_Audition this weekend. It is not large in scale and is more conducive to personal performance. Choi Sooyoung and Lin Yuna entered the company through this.
The other people, except for Kwon Yuri, who was awarded the dance group of the first Youth BEST Selection Conference, and Kim Taeyeon, who was awarded the full-staff award of the 8th Youth BEST Selection Conference, all entered the company through S.M_Starlight_Casting_System.
Well, I'm a bit far. At least so far, there are still several people working hard in other places, waiting to reunite with these people now...
Therefore, because the scale of the youth BEST selection conference is too large, it must be auditions. This is the biggest reason why Kang Jae-hee can be a judge. There are thousands of people, and most of them are from other places, and local people can be selected through other methods. Therefore, food and accommodation are a big problem.
Although holding such a large-scale selection makes the company busy, the benefits are obvious.
1 is reputation. Since cultural exports become policy, S.M Company, as the first responding and successful company, has gained benefits that cannot be seen on the surface. Such a youth selection can gain more support by exploring the title of outstanding young people in the country.
2. With so many people, there must be a lot of talents that can be discovered. Many outstanding young people from other places will not be able to participate in other selections for various reasons. However, such national selections are not comparable to those of other selection conferences in terms of publicity and promotion. Naturally, more people will receive this news.
I believe that in addition to these, there will definitely be other hidden benefits. After all, as a company, no matter what, if it is an unprofitable project, it is impossible to continue to be held.
This is why Yu Yongzhen kept reminding Kang Jae-hee of those trivial matters a few days ago. Kang Jae-hee was not qualified to be a judge in other selection meetings. Only the youth BEST selection meeting will not be sufficient staff and not very important audition stage. Let Kang Jae-hee experience it. In the future, taking the musician path and doing a judge will be a win-win road. But although Kang Jae-hee is qualified to be a judge in this conference because of Yu Yong-hee's status, once something goes wrong, the impact will be much greater than that in other selection meetings.
Yu Yongzhen didn't know that Kang Jae-hee had a very mature heart. He was worried that as a young man, he would be in a slump if he encountered a relatively setback.
Maybe time will slowly recover afterwards, but Yu Yongzhen has mentioned Jiang Jae-hee's plan to the above. This selection conference is also an opportunity for investigation. Although it is not a key inspection point, better performance can also add a lot of color to his resume.
These imperial uses did not tell Kang Jae-hee. Sometimes, teachers are quite awkward. They want students to perform well, but they don’t want to tell students in advance, so as to avoid him being prepared in advance and want to see the most real Kang Jae-hee. But they have been talking to Kang Jae-hee about the review before.
It is actually quite hard to be a teacher to achieve Yu Yongzhen...
As a musician, Kang Jae-hee must be a judge in the singing group. And from his memory and from his teacher, we all know that Kim Taeyeon must have signed up to participate in the singing group competition.
So, Kang Jae-hee is looking forward to that day.
However, he was very worried that such a meeting would surprise and not be happy. He also specially prepared some small props.
On March 27, 2004, the 8th Youth BEST Selection Conference officially kicked off at S.M. With such an important competition, Open_Casting_Audition on ordinary weekends was naturally cancelled.
It officially started at 9 o'clock in the morning. In fact, Kim Taeyeon came to Seoul with her father last night. Originally, Kim's father was planning to find a hotel, but he couldn't resist Kang Jae-hee's enthusiasm and took her home to rest for one night.
Jiang Zhijian only appeared during dinner and then continued to disappear. For this reason, Kang Jae-hee had to explain that because of this meeting of the company, as a director of the management department of the company's practice room, he would be very busy at work. This made Jin's father relieve his doubts.
In fact, no matter which country it is, it is impolite to leave suddenly when there are guests. Of course, except for special circumstances.
After Kang Ji-jin left, Kim Taeyeon also relaxed. Compared to Kang Jae-hee, Kim Taeyeon's performance afterwards was more like a master. For example, she politely asked her father what to drink with Kang Jae-hee. Kang Jae-hee said that her uncle should drink tea. Then Kim Taeyeon asked with contempt, "Do you have tea here?"
Although this behavior made Jin's father a little strange, he didn't think much about it. After all, he knew that his daughter had stayed here for a few nights. Hehexiao took the water handed over by his daughter and took a sip of it.
Seeing the young man and woman in front of him communicating with their eyes and expressions from time to time, Kim's father was very pleased. Although he was not very satisfied with the boy being an artist, Kang Jae-hee had never missed his homework. Later, he heard that Kang Jae-hee was not an ordinary artist, and she could even go to college to teach in the future (Kim Taeyeon once said when Kim's father was a little dissatisfied...), so she stopped talking about anything more.
Actually, it doesn’t matter what you do. As long as it is not illegal, you can give your daughter happiness, which is enough, right?
Kang Jae-hee got up at 7:30, washed up and prepared breakfast. Kim's father got up even before 8:00. Kang Jae-hee was about to arrive in advance, so she greeted Kim's father and said she wanted to go to the company first. Kim's father was a little hesitant, after all, this was not his home, nor was Kang Jae-hee's home.
After seeing Kim's father's hesitation, Kang Jae-hee smiled and said, "It's okay, it's the same for the times Taeyeon came. But remember not to let Taeyeon get up too late. It will take time from getting up to waking up in the morning. If it's too late, it will be bad if you haven't woken up yet during the game."
After Jin's father nodded and told him to know, Jiang Jae-hee went to the company first.
I arrived at the company at 8:20, and there were already many people outside. In fact, the selection cannot be completed in one day. If one person is 2 minutes, there will be only 30 people per hour, and only 300 people per day in 10 hours. Even if 10 groups are carried out at the same time, there will be only 3,000 people. According to incomplete statistics, there are as many as 9,000 people.
‘What a huge number.’ Looking at the crowds outside, Kang Jae-hee sighed.
In the Eastern Kingdoms, people always have a jackpot and prepare for such a statement in advance. Whether it is exams, competitions, or other things. So Kang Jae-hee just sighed a little. These have nothing to do with him. The number of people has already been determined.
Three other people were also doing the review with Kang Jae-hee, Park Xiangye, the director of the practice room management department, Li Jinger, the director of the artist planning department, and Kim Chaohan, who is responsible for singing and teaching in the practice room.
Except for Lee Jing'er, the other two people, Kang Jae-hee, needless to say, Park Sang-yeol, if it wasn't him, Kang Jae-hee didn't know what to join the company, because of his misunderstanding, Kang Jae-hee entered the company early. And Kim Cho-han, whether it was Kim Jong-woon or Jung Soo-yeon, was responsible for teaching. Kang Jae-hee had also seen him several times and asked him some questions. Until he completely studied with Yu Yong-jin, he did not ask Kim Cho-han for advice.
At this time, Li Jing'er was still very young, not the slightly fat woman in the Infinite Challenge Idol Talent Special. She was very slim and energetic at this time. However, she was mainly responsible for the packaging and promotion planning of artists, and she did not have much contact with Jiang Jae-hee, who was still a trainee.
Kang Jae-hee was also very surprised, why the people from the Artist Planning Department would be responsible for the evaluation of participants in the BEST selection conference of youth who are not trainees.
In fact, 2-3 people are enough to conduct normal competition reviews, while Li Jing'er actually came specifically to investigate Jiang Jae-hee.
Of course, Kang Jae-hee didn't know about this... He greeted the three of them politely.
Park Xiangyeol always had a cold face, just nodded, while Lee Jing'er was not familiar with him, and nodded politely back. Only Kim Chaohan patted Kang Jae-hee's shoulder enthusiastically and said.
"Jiaxi, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Since you studied with Yu Yongzhen, you have not come to ask me for advice. Do you think I am not as good as him?" Jin Chaohan and Yu Yongzhen are very familiar with him. In fact, Jin Chaohan is also half a producer. His albums are almost all produced by himself. The recording engineer is only responsible for recording, and he is responsible for other aspects. So he has a common language with Yu Yongzhen. And as a senior executive, there must be a few people who can speak in the company, otherwise, he will be really lonely. Jin Chaohan and S.M have an agreement, but they are not from S.M. There is no need to be afraid of the name of Yu Yongzhen's music director and top production department. It is common for the two to joke often. So when he saw Kang Jaexi, he made such a joke to show his closeness.
"Teacher, don't say that, I can't afford it. After that, I mainly studied production and did not pay much attention to vocal music, so I didn't ask you for advice." Of course, what exactly is the reason? There is no need to pursue too much. The purpose of jokes is just to ease the atmosphere.
"Well, it's a pity that you're following this path. If you train well, your singing skills may not be much better than Kangta in the future." Different people say different things. As a powerful singer, Jin Chaohan naturally treats a person from the perspective of singing.
"I am a little lazy. Like Senior Kangta, I must not exhaust me to death..." Kang Jae-hee remarked to Xie Bumin for the idol's itinerary.
Seeing this big and small chatting as if no one else was around, Park Xiangyeo had to stand up and stop him. He knew that the company was evaluating Kang Jae-hee and said too much, especially to say too much to a person who was not binding on him. If he said something wrong, it would be bad.
"Let's talk about these things later when you have time. Teacher Jin, please see if we will discuss some standards before starting, so that during the formal review, we can avoid some unnecessary disputes."
Hearing Park Xiangyeo talk about his serious business, Kim Chaohan would not blindly show his freedom, so he nodded and took Kang Jae-hee to sit down with the other two people before the start.
