After becoming the son of the boss [entertainment circle]

On the way to the company, Li Xianyin deliberately flipped through the news about the anniversary of the museum.

Perhaps it was not long before the celebration started, and there were not many related written reports. Most of them were photos and videos of the celebration scene circulated on the Internet.

Judging from these video materials, there were many people at the anniversary celebration, including celebrities from all walks of life, and Ms. Lu’s husband, her second daughter and youngest son also accompanied her to entertain the guests, especially her husband, Mr. Cui Taiyuan. Made a speech on stage.

Li Xianyin stared at the photo for a long time. It was the Cui family of four photographed at the celebration scene. Both children were wearing clean and flat white shirts and black trousers. Ms. Lu was also wearing a rather elegant black overcoat. The knee-length skirt, except Cui Taiyuan, is different. A maroon suit is not unobtrusive on him, and it is not in the same style as his wife and children.

The four people in the photo are all smiling, which slightly dilutes the sense of disobedience, but Li Xianyin still finds it a little strange, has Cui Taewon ever worn a suit with such an outstanding color?

Except for Li Fuzhen, the actual managers of the top ten chaebols in South Korea are all middle-aged and elderly fritters in their 50s and [-]s. They wear black or dark blue suits when they go out, and at most they can be decorated with dark stripes and squares. Generally do not dress too out of line, so as not to affect the image.

In Li Xianyin's impression, Cui Taiyuan has never worn such a brightly colored suit. To be honest, this suit is not very suitable for hanging on his slightly obese body, not to mention that it does not match his temperament. , it made his complexion dull, but anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

It seems that because of his clothes, Ms. Lu's expression will be a little unnatural when she looks over occasionally. This unnatural or unhappy emotion is hidden deeply, and it is all buried in the overflowing smile. Under the circumstances, if she didn't know her well and observed her carefully enough, maybe she wouldn't be able to find the abnormality.

Li Xianyin thought this scene was very interesting, and a sense of discord came over his face. He felt that there should be something wrong with the suit on Cui Taiyuan's body, maybe... it was worn from Xiaosan's house?

Thinking about it, it’s not impossible. If Cui Taiyuan has lived in Xiaosan’s house for a long time, he will definitely store his daily clothes there, and the reason why he is wearing a strangely colored suit today may be because he was The mistress arranged it for the purpose of disgusting Ms. Lu, the original partner.

Everyone is not a fool. Cui Taiyuan has never participated in various celebration activities of art museums before. This time he came unexpectedly, but he was dressed abnormally. It was hard not to let the few insiders think of Xiao San.

"President, the company is here."

Kang Zhengyuan, who was sitting in the front row, reminded him in a low voice, and Li Xianyin also temporarily put down the newspaper, and walked slowly towards the large practice room on the basement floor of the company on crutches.

SM is still working in the old building. This building is full of office areas filled with various logistics departments, as well as recording studios and dance practice rooms. The remaining space simply cannot build a large auditorium for everyone in the company to sit. Come on, every time there is a big event, it is either held in the largest practice room on the basement floor, or rented a hall in a hotel outside, Li Xianyin feels uncomfortable no matter how he looks at it.

It’s not that SM is poor, they’ve gone public after all, the stockholders have made a lot of money, just counted the various brokerage companies today, but none of them have an office building that can accommodate hundreds of employees of the auditorium.

Just kidding, what's wrong with such a big place?You just have to build a lobby that you never use twice a year?Isn't this a waste!

However, it doesn't matter what others think, Li Xianyin's opinion is the most irrefutable one.

He felt that a large group of people were all crammed into a practice room, and only the judges had a few chairs to sit on, which was really uncomfortable. It seemed that the air had become thicker, and there were breaths from other people's noses everywhere. carbon dioxide.

He quite likes the excitement now, but what he likes is not just the crowds, nor the earth-shattering screams at the concert, nor the tension and fear of a group of people in a small space.

So Li Xianyin doesn't like this kind of occasion. If there are such activities after the new building is completed, he would be happy to go to the auditorium on the third floor, which is particularly large in the drawings. It's not for Ms. Jin, he really doesn't want to take the initiative to come here.

"How did you come?"

Seeing his son wandering in slowly from the door, Li Xiuman, who had just returned from lunch and was sitting drinking tea, asked in surprise, but Li Xianyin shook his head and did not respond, and pulled a chair to sit beside Lao Li. Only then did he casually say: "Let's take a look when you have time."

Looking around, the room is full of people. Except for a few judges sitting in front of the mirror wall, there are young and beautiful girls sitting or standing on the surrounding floor. At first glance, the age gap between the girls is very large. But not small.

Judging from their height and faces, most of the girls are only at the age of junior high school, and some of them may be elementary school students. Compared with them, some people are several levels older. Even if they are not adults, they are not the same. Far.

Seventeen or eighteen is the best time in life. At this age, no matter what you do, you can do it in time. Even if a poor student suddenly strives hard and says that he wants to go to Harvard, he may be encouraged. After all, young people can always create miracles of.

Although the failure rate is as high as 90.00%, it does not prevent people from continuing to believe in miracles.

But the idol industry has its particularity after all. Singing and dancing skills are important, but appearance and personality are also parts that cannot be ignored. Otherwise, there will be no such thing as "beautiful waste" in the future, and there will be no one who only relies on character and personality charm circle powder.

Of course, such things as personality charm can be faked. Many brokerage companies will design a distinctive and pleasing personality for idols. When idols attend public events, most of them must act according to this personality, otherwise they will lose Set collapsed.

This kind of deliberate character design is entirely a commercial need, and strictly controlling the debut age of its idols is actually a commercial need.

The vast majority of people in this world like young and beautiful people. As a profession that can satisfy people's fantasies to a certain extent, idols require them to have a pleasing appearance. When people get older, their skin will definitely change. Natural relaxation, despite the help of medical aesthetics, but the aging state of people is infiltrated from various details. After all, it is not as attractive as when it was young, which is very detrimental to the idol career.

There must be people who look better when they are older than when they were young, but they are absolutely rare. It is impossible for a brokerage company to bet on such a small probability event, so when selecting candidates, they still prefer children under the age of 15. If you are seven or eight years old and have no hope of debuting, it will be very difficult for you to get ahead in SM.

——Unless you are so beautiful that the company is willing to wait for you for a few years.

Some people may think that seventeen or eighteen is the best time to look, isn't it a good time to debut?How could you be disliked?

This is not wrong, but the problem is that these seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls have not yet reached the standard for debut, and they will be twenty when they reach the standard.

Furthermore, idol groups must consider the length of their careers, and choosing younger members is conducive to the long-term development of the team. After all, many idols are no longer willing to be singing and dancing stages as they get older. There will be a sense of exhaustion in mentality, basically seeking transformation, and returning to nature is far away.

The overall rejuvenation of the members is conducive to the longevity of idol activities, so even Lee Hyun Yin doesn't think there is anything wrong with choosing younger children as much as possible.

What surprised him a little was that there were too many people in front of him.

"Do we have so many trainees in our company?"

It's not that Li Xianyin has never taken the trainee's monthly exam. When he was fighting wits with Jin Minying, the other party invited him to observe once in the practice room upstairs.

All the trainees participated that time, including even male trainees, but the overall number was less than half of today's, which really confused him.

Lao Li immediately curled his lips, "It's not all because of you, if you don't say you will give away a house after you have been in SM for 12 years, how could so many children come to our company to interview trainees!"

Li Xianyin suddenly remembered this matter: "..."

After getting stuck for a while, he refused to admit defeat, and quickly choked back, "Isn't it good to have too many people? Don't you have more room to choose people? It's just that you get cheap and act good."

Lao Li snorted speechlessly, and didn't bother to complain anymore, turned his head and said nothing, and signaled to the dance teacher next to him to start the screening work in the afternoon, and to finish early and dismiss early.

It was at this time that Li Xianyin discovered that not all the girls in the house were idol trainees, and a very small part of them were from the actor department, so they were pulled together for screening this time.

However, actor trainees only need to walk straight in front of the camera for a while, then pose a few poses, and then perform a short section according to the content on the random note. As long as the performance is not too eye-catching, the probability of being dismissed negligible.

If those few older idol trainees are willing to switch to become actors, they can also try the audit by the actor department, but Li Xianyin is not optimistic about this approach.

Acting seems to be not too difficult, especially for actresses. A senior male senior in South Korea even said that "it is enough for a young actress to be beautiful", It can be seen that as long as the appearance is good enough, even if you can't be the protagonist, it's not too difficult to be an unknown supporting role from time to time, and you will still have a job.

Moreover, TV dramas starring idols will always appear in front of people from time to time, which further proves the low difficulty of acting, but most of those idols are already famous, and coupled with the management of the company, it is difficult to say that the crew chooses them. Is it because the image is suitable and the acting skills are acceptable, or because of something else.

Abandoning the aura of idols, the real selection of actors is very harsh. If you are not a child star, it is not easy to become an actor. Even a company like SM cannot select many actor trainees every year. On the other hand, factors such as photogenicity, temperament, standard demeanor, and difficulty in hearing are the main review objectives.

Of course, a good face definitely has a bonus, but an actor's standard good face is different from an idol's standard good face.

The hopes of idols turning into actors are not high, and Li Xianyin has gradually lost interest in the review in front of him. If he didn't seem impolite, he might have taken out his mobile phone to play with it at this moment.

However, apart from the fact that the process was a bit boring, he was familiar with some of these people, such as Li Yunxi and Cui Zhenzhen.

Li Yunxi entered SM at the age of 13, played the female supporting role in the historical drama at the age of 16, and played the heroine with Hyun Bin when he was 18 years old. Last year, he was also put into the preparatory group of the new girl group by the company for experimentation, but In the end, the plan was abandoned.

She and Gao Yala are both actresses that the company values ​​very much. Originally, this kind of screening was not used, but they are still taking acting classes, and they are under the name of actor trainees. When they are not yet 20 years old, If I have time, I will still come to take the company's exams. Gao Yala didn't come today, but there is work to do.

As for another familiar face...

The moment Li Xianyin saw her, he was indeed a little dazed. He didn't know what to say for a while, and his heart was indeed a little complicated.
