Korean Entertainment's Survival War

"Jin Donghan trainee, congratulations."

The final promotion spot fell on Kim Donghan, who received attention on the stage of "shape of you". Then, 35 trainees, led by Kim Jonghyun, greeted the national producer together.

Then, it's parting.

Before the announcement of the last trainee, Jin Dongbin, who grabbed Meng Chunzhe's wrist, finally let go of his peers, lowered his head and fell into the see-saw between "I agreed not to cry" and "What should I do? I want to cry again". war.Meng Chunzhe stood up and exchanged glances with Liu Huisheng, who was also eliminated. Because of the age difference, the two FNC brothers, who didn't interact so much, found a tacit understanding again in the similar indifference that was a bit incompatible with the current scene.

None of them had any strong desire to be idols before, and they were sent to practice soon after joining the company. Although they cherished the rare opportunity of "produce101", they were not as eager as most of the trainees present.Meng Chunzhe's situation was much more complicated. Out of greed, the higher the ranking, the better, but out of the conscience he was trying to protect, he even hoped that he would not go too far.

The eliminated trainees comforted each other, and the promoted trainees who had finished greeting each other also came down to bid farewell to their partners who had shared joys and sorrows in the past.Meng Chunzhe hugged Li Yuzhen, high-fived Zheng Shiyun, rubbed his head by Park Sung-woo, blessed each other with Takada Kenta, and shook hands with Bae Jin-young and Ryu Sun-ho, who had collaborated but never kissed. The people from brandnewmusic almost came here together, Lim Young-min He and Kim Dong-hyun praised him for doing a good job, and Meng Chunzhe also cheered for their next round of the stage. Next to him, Lee Dae-hui comforted Kim Dong-bin, who was finally relieved, "Everyone knows that you have worked hard, Dong-bin." Lim Young-min also Putting his hands on Jin Dongbin's back, Meng Chunzhe glanced at them, then turned to hug Lai Guanlin.

When the camera comes, people who have changed their cores a long time ago should not get together as a peer group. It is unfair to real children.

That's right, standing next to Lai Guanlin as a height control group, I really have a sick head. The CPU was overloaded so that after hugging Lai Guanlin, he realized that his face was just buried on Lai Guanlin's shoulder. After they separated, Meng Chunzhe looked at the camera aimed at them and thought gloomily.

This is the end of Meng Chunzhe's journey in "produce101". The first thing he did was to summarize the benefits. "How many lives did I gain during the show?" he asked the system.

System: "Four years and three months."

"Not bad." Meng Chunzhe was very satisfied.

Before he became Meng Chunzhe, he also thought about relying on professional skills to make a living, but even if his singing and playing skills are excellent, there are many people with outstanding abilities in the world, and he is not strong enough to amaze people who have seen thousands of sails. To a certain extent, Meng Chunzhe has been tossing around as an online anchor for a long time, and his life span is still in the stage of "making ends meet". He can't use other people's bodies to do things that have no limit, and he has been really burnt out for a while.It was a big gamble for him to become Meng Chunzhe, but fortunately, the gamble won. The show "produce101" is also really popular. He didn't even enter the top 35, and he gained more than four years of life.

"System, if I have the enthusiasm of Kang Daniel, how long can I live?" Although Kim Jong-hyun is currently ranked first, but now he can cast eleven votes at a time. This perfect captain in "produce101", if you want to say that you really like it, Jiang Daniel has a bigger advantage.

"The average life expectancy of a person who can live to the current age is 83 years," the system said. "Beyond this age, the cost of maintaining the system's body will gradually increase. It is generally recommended that the host change the body. If there are more health points left, they can be exchanged for other in the system mall." Serve."

"Stop it." Jealousy.Thinking that Kang Daniel's popularity will probably rise again in the future, I am even more jealous.

Anyway, Meng Chunzhe has now changed from a player to a spectator.After returning to FNC with Liu Huisheng and talking with the director who sent them to exercise, Meng Chunzhe entered the stage of doing nothing.Some trainees have been in closed training for too long, and after being eliminated, all the restrictions are lifted, so they go out to let the wind go out together, causing a large wave of encounter pictures to appear on SNS.On the contrary, Meng Chunzhe didn't go out very much. He, Liu Huisheng, and a band called N.Flying under FNC got together.

FNC, which features idol bands, hopes to launch three bands representing "F", "N" and "C". The earliest FTIsland and later CNBlue were popular for a while, but N.Flying, which represents "N", has not It's not hot, as for why there is no point of discussion, in the case of only two successful idol bands, there is no need to sum up the reasons for N.Flying's failure.Standing in Meng Chunzhe's position, I was very happy to go to N.Flying's practice room to play with musical instruments.

Although N.Flying played with the younger generation of trainees who had just come back from the talent show, it was not because of some family love-they wanted a high-pitched lead singer.

"When N.Flying was preparing, it was originally a dual-vocalist configuration. Many things happened before the debut, and it has been postponed. The original high-pitched vocalist was a Singaporean who went to serve in the military. There has been no suitable substitute," N.Flying said. Lee Seung-hyup, the captain, lead singer, and rap manager of the group, said, "Don't be nervous, the choice is two-way, and we all have reasons to be cautious."

No wonder, Li Chengxie is an all-around player, but as the lead singer of the band, his vocal range is really low.

"Have the seniors thought about joining the arrangement after the treble lead singer?" Meng Chunzhe asked.

Guitarist Cha Hoon: "Not yet."

"Do you want to try it now? As long as someone joins, it can be used." Li Chengxie joked.

Then play it.

One more thing before playing. "Try it first if you win, and you will use my bass?" The speaker was bassist Kwon Kwang-jin, the oldest and the strongest, half of his face was covered by mid-length hair, and he looked a bit unmotivated. "Do you know?"

"I only picked up the scores of "Anoxia" and "Allin." Meng Chunzhe said holding the bass that he got from Quan Guangzhen for trial use.

Quan Guangzhen looked at Li Chengxie: "Then try "Oxygen Deficiency"?"

After such a test, the members of N.Flying were very satisfied with Liu Huisheng's timbre and singing skills, and were even more shocked by Meng Chunzhe's performance level.

"Brother Guangzhen, Chunzhe's bass is no worse than yours. How old is he? It's amazing." The person sitting in front of the drum set is Kim Jae-hyun, the current youngest whose status is about to be threatened.

"That's great. After two years of my military service, N.Flying will have a bass position. Even if there are musical instrument trainees, few are willing to practice bass. Chunzhe, you play bass very well at such a young age. Well, haven’t you thought about it at all?” Although it doesn’t look very smug, Kwon Kwang Jin is indeed the strongest bass player in FNC.

"When I meet a lead singer who convinces me that 'this person is not popular yet, I can be famous later as the lead singer of the band', I will be the bass player behind him, otherwise I still have lead singer ambitions."

"I also said that Chunzhe's level is enough to replace me. Chengxie, it seems that you have to work hard."

"Stop joking, brother Guangzhen." Li Chengxie said.

After Liu Huisheng sang, it was Meng Chunzhe's turn, and Quan Guangzhen took back his bass. While playing the melody that he had played countless times with ease, he listened to Meng Chunzhe singing "Let me lack oxygen, your fascinating red lips", after the music stopped, he couldn't help whistling: "You came to FNC to be a band, right? You understand."

Meng Chunzhe and Liu Huisheng's understanding of the band was so obviously different that Quan Guangzhen didn't have to worry about it.

"Also?" Isn't FNC famous for being a band? What does "also" mean?

"Idolband, some people concentrate on being a band, some people do a band and enjoy something else by the way, some people just play musical instruments just to be an idol and be liked by girls, you will understand after staying longer. But friends here It's still good, they're all very handsome kids, I'm the worst, do you want to think about it?" Quan Guangzhen said.

you?Meng Chunzhe glanced at Liu Huisheng.

So you still want me to inherit your bass, right?

Although Li Chengxie is not strong enough to make Meng Chunzhe willing to be the "bass in the back", he is also a very talented person who is also the rap leader and (bass) lead singer. He is especially good at "how to add rap to the band's songs" So Meng Chunzhe found a more practical rap teacher.

This also attracted guitarist Cha Xun's complaint: "The company has a tradition of seniors teaching younger generations, and they are all in the instrument position. Is it even a rapper now?"

"Where did Brother Chengxie learn rap?" Liu Huisheng asked who didn't know why Meng Chunzhe became interested in rap.

"A rapper named Innovator, participated in "showmethemoney"."

"Oh——" Liu Huisheng suddenly realized, and Meng Chunzhe, who hadn't had time to watch "showmethemoney", pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

Fortunately, Lee Seung Hyup quickly skipped this: "I don't know if my rap is qualified to teach others."

"Brother Cheng Xie told me his experience, let me take a shortcut at the beginning, what happens afterward is up to me," Meng Chunzhe would answer, "A great rapper doesn't necessarily have to be a great rapper as a teacher."

"Well said." Li Chengxie felt relieved.That is to say, South Korea pays attention to training and even teaching rap. In fact, 90.00% of those rappers who only rely on rap to make their debut and not the "rap role" in idol groups are barbaric. Where can they find teachers.

Here, Lee Seung-hye was very busy exploring the performance effect under the double lead singer mode and teaching people to rap. Over there, Meng Chunzhe's first teacher, Lin Yongmin, also encountered a lot of trouble.

Postscript The falsification of the show certainly brought criticism after the show was broadcast, but things like "fan behavior, idol pays the bill" generally stay at the level of idol image damage in the eyes of some people, and will not cause a fatal blow , otherwise, the more popular idol fans in the Korean entertainment industry will do more annoying things, and in the end, everyone will stop being popular.

Lin Youngmin's trouble is rumors of a relationship.

This is fatal.

The author has something to say: Quan Guangzhen: Crazy Hints

This guy is awesome as a bass player, and not bad as a band member, but as an idol, his self-management is a little bit worse (there are private associations, the degree is uncertain, and he sued the rumor-mongering fans some time ago for sexual harassment. Withdraw the lawsuit after getting an apology), people are very complex creatures and cannot be defined in one or two words

Private association or even love is not a capital crime for a band member who is about to enter the age of enlistment and has debuted for more than three years. Kamaboko is very unfeeling to him

As for the fact that he was replaced by Lee Jung-shin when CN was about to debut that year, it is not easy to comment, but Lee Jung-shin only learned bass for a few months and entered CN with a more Japanese face, standing in the position of Kwon Kwang-jin, mind not surprising

There is no need to say that the company does things for a reason. Some of FNC’s decisions are right, and some of them are completely wrong. For example, they have been protecting Lee Jong-hyun for so long, or Baodao Mingming, the biggest fish cake of Lee Hong-ki, feels that he is not prudent. Choi Jong-hoon became the captain, the result?

However, non-vocalist members in idolband actually don’t enjoy much of the benefits of being an idol, and those who can use the idol’s requirements to demand themselves are indeed relatively rare animals. The lead singers of Kamaboko are fine, and the turnover rate of non-vocalist positions is also high. Too high, some people are breaking the law and committing crimes, some people give up self-management, among those who give up self-management, those who become more useless are more annoying than those whose strength is still there

I've watched the variety show "Super Band", but when Zong Xin was busy graduating in the first half of the year, the enthusiasm for this variety show was not as strong as 404, and the popularity was not high, and there was nothing to start with. brain hole
