Korean entertainment superstar era

Xia Zhen's life is divided into two parts: before wearing and after wearing.

Before crossing the summer, she is really a Chinese. She was born in 1988. In 05, she went to Korea as a trainee through the SM company's China selection competition. In 2015, she had no hope of debuting, and she terminated the contract with SM company. She thought her dream would stop here. Unexpectedly, overnight, her Life has changed dramatically.

For unknown reasons, she returned to Seoul in 2000 and became a Korean girl Ha Hee Jin born in 90.

The most important thing is that this girl just signed a trainee contract with SM Company the day before Xia Zhenchuan came.

……

In Xia Zhen’s own words——

She loves SM Company so much that staying in this place for ten years is not enough, and staying for another ten years!

I thought about letting the parents of this body protest to SM for reasons such as underage, and then terminate the contract.

But after carefully studying the contract signed by the original owner, she resolutely decided to stay. This contract is really a hundred times more reasonable than the trainee contract she signed back then!

Life is to have contrast to feel happy.

South Korea is a super xenophobic country. Although they flaunt the most traditional Confucianism, they do not hesitate to tell the whole world the absurd lie that "Confucius is a Korean", but they have never truly achieved "it is a pleasure to have friends from afar". I remember that back then, she not only had to insist on super-intensive training, but also endured cynicism, even punching and kicking from the Korean trainees around her.

Being good also becomes a sin when you're not Korean.

I have no friends, only faith. I think of my parents in my hometown to contribute money to send me living expenses. No matter how hard I grit my teeth, I must persist in training, even if it is a broken bone.

It's a pity that in this world, hard work will not have the same harvest.

The Chinese trainees who came to SM company are generally older when they come to Korea. Language, training, interpersonal relationship... everything has to start again. Korea is a country with a very fast replacement of stars. Idols with more than ten years can almost become idols. Longevity, most of them are just a flash in the pan. When these Chinese trainees adapt to the Korean environment, they are already very old. Compared with the Korean juniors who may be less powerful, but young and energetic, and have a lot of room for improvement, the company's The choice can be imagined.

If it wasn't for the company's clear announcement that there is no hope for her debut, and that her wishes are completely shattered, Yixia's true character would not give up so easily. She has put in so much, ten years, but in the end it was "fetching water from a bamboo basket". At that time, she couldn't even cry. too tired.

Ten years in SM, no one is more familiar with how dark this place is than Xia Zhen.

Maybe it's because the parents of this body have the same appearance as his biological parents, and the same ordinary family. More importantly, both the original owner and Xia Zhen himself are masters who don't accept their fate.

She has persisted for ten years, so what if she persists for another ten years?

With ten years of experience accumulated before time travel.Whether it is vocal music, dancing, or acting skills, Xia Zhen is much higher than the trainees of the same period, and the company has always regarded Xia Zhen as a key training object. In comparison, Xia Zhen's treatment can be called gorgeous.

But she happened to be less lucky.

In 01, the company's diva-level solo female singer BoA ​​debuted in Japan. In order to make up for the gap in the domestic market when BoA developed in Japan, the company decided to let Xia Zhen debut as a solo female singer in 02. In order to increase exposure and attract enough media Prior to this, Xia Zhen had already accepted a lot of commercials, and had also played a role in a flash of the camera in various film crews.

Everything was planned, even the songs were recorded, but something happened to SM company, the general manager Kim Kyung Wook was suspected of illegally embezzling the company's property, and the president Lee Soo Man was also involved.

At this juncture, the company is no longer able to do all-round publicity for Xia Xizhen. The company has spent so much effort to cultivate Xia Zhen in all aspects, it is impossible to allow her to be just a tepid, fleeting meteor. The young singer, so the debut plan was put on hold.

Xia Xizhen could only temporarily let go of her desire to stand in the spotlight, and accept the company's arrangement again, accepting plays without choice, and playing tricks.

If it weren't for Xia Zhen who came to take the company's monthly exam every month, singing and dancing, everyone really thought that the company had given up the idea of ​​letting Xia Zhen become a singer and let her focus on developing in the entertainment industry.

His debut in the music industry was full of twists and turns, and the development of the entertainment industry was not smooth.

Although SM Company has taken the leading role in the music industry, it has not had many contacts in the entertainment industry. Even Lee Yeon-hee, who planned to focus on training as an actor from the beginning, encountered obstacles everywhere during the audition, let alone originally planned to be a Singer Xia Zhen.

Since there is no strong relationship network, and the company only let Xia Zhen take on the role to cultivate her camera sense, it is not important to the company whether she can make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Without a clear positioning, no matter which crew has an audition, she will be packaged by the company and participate in the audition with a temporary agent.

As long as there is a movie to be filmed, even if it is a small role, the manager will take over for Xia Zhen.

Extras, all kinds of extras, with lines, without lines, and some even only have a role in the back of the head.

It was hard to get a scene with a lot of shots, and sometimes because of the director's excellence, he cut it directly.

This situation lasted until 03. In the KBS TV drama "Millions of Roses", she replaced the child star Jeon Hye-jin who had starred in the hit drama "Yinshi" and got a role in "Rose". The outstanding young girl "Yin Zhi", this role made her popular from the end of 03 to 04, and won the 03 KBS Young Girls Performance Award.

During the filming of the "Rose" crew, Xia Zhen also participated in an audition for a crew, the MBC TV drama "Dae Jang Geum", which was a sensation in Asia, but unfortunately she was not as lucky as meeting the "Rose" crew, she did not film well. At least, after the film is completed, it is edited and edited, leaving only a fleeting shot in the end.

For this reason, SM company also made representations to MBC TV station, but the result was not satisfactory.

Compared with the company actively looking for opportunities for its actress Go Ara Lee Yeon Hee, Xia Zhen who is playing around is more like a stepmother.

Although Xia Zhen achieved good results on the screen in 03, it didn't help her much in her own development.

The company's troubles happened one after another. The most sensational thing was the refusal of the supreme boy group "Shinhwa" to renew the contract with the company. In the face of this heavy news, any news lost its luster. Xia Zhen didn't get the attention it deserved. , The gimmick on her body is not as good as a finger of the supreme group "Myth".

This men's group has been preparing since 99. In order to build them into a supreme group that is not inferior to "Shinhwa", SM has invested a lot of money in "Shenqi". The increasingly sluggish market situation forced Xia Zhen's debut plan to be shelved indefinitely.

Afterwards, it was widely rumored within the company that the outstanding Xia Zhen would debut as a girl group. After the disbandment of the legendary girl group SES, the company has been launching girl groups. Since the launch of "Shen Fei" in 02, the curse of the SM girl group It hasn't stopped, new girl groups are constantly being launched, and the company will not invest money in unprofitable girl groups, and has no plan to put the "secret weapon" Xia Zhen into the market with these girl groups, but the new girl groups seem to have The difference is that the reserve members of the new girl group have outstanding strength and sufficient preparation time, which may be able to change the status quo of SM. Xia Zhen seems to have seen her own hope again.

But this time, Xia Zhen's wish came true again. The girl group Tianshang Zhixi was established, and Xia Zhen was not included in the list of members.

It is impossible not to be disappointed. She has waited for so long, whether it is moving around various crews to play tricks, or practicing dance hard every day, the vocal music is all for her debut. The members of Tiantian Zhixi have come to the company as trainees for far less time than Xia Zhen. But she came from behind and became a senior who debuted earlier than her.

The shadow of not being able to make her debut in the past ten years has always hung over Xia Zhen's head. She even has a feeling that no matter how hard she tries, the result will be the same. She will still leave like in her previous life.

He debuted in 02 and has also been a trainee for five years. A member of Blackbeat, Huang Shangxun is responsible for instructing Xia Zhen's dance. This senior who is also a teacher and brother can see Xia Zhen's absent-mindedness during training. Xia Zhen belongs to the company's key training Huang Shangxun has always been very optimistic about this trainee, who usually trains very hard, and she is one of the students with the longest time in Class A. Huang Shangxun has always been optimistic about this trainee. He thought that the other party would make his debut through a popular TV series, but he did not expect it to be so delayed. for many years.

If there is no "Shenxin" to leave, the company needs to urgently rebuild a "Supreme Tiantuan", and the company may be willing to try to launch a new solo female singer.

However, Huang Shangxun is still very optimistic about Xia Zhen's prospects. It is rare for the company to have an all-round development, a talent with both idol and strength, who can act, sing and dance. Because he attaches great importance to it, he is so cautious. Xia Zhen's personal energy is obvious As a member of Gao Tian Zhi Xi, debuting as a group will limit its development. If it is planned properly, Xia Zhen may become the next rain.

But Huang Shangxun would not tell Xia Zhen what he said before the company had no clear instructions, because in this world, plans are not as big as changes.

After thinking about it, Huang Shangxun said: "Don't think too much, the company has spent so much effort to train you, it will always pay back."

As a senior who debuted in the company in 02, and has participated in many SM choreographies, Huang Shangxun's words are still very important, Xia Zhen can only temporarily put away the anxiety in his heart, and let An An do the trick.
