The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Although the prospect seemed very promising during the meeting, when one person calmed down, Xu Xian always felt that the girls had been thrown into a big pit. The key was that they climbed in by themselves.

It’s not that there is no confidence or anything, but the matter itself feels a bit ridiculous. Pani initially just wanted to make an album as a gift for fans. Although it cannot be said to be a trivial matter, it is definitely not that complicated.

It can be said that Li Menglong has to bear part of the responsibility, but Xu Xian knows him well. He definitely does not have such big ideas. At most, he just wants to make some of their albums to sell money.

In this case, how did this matter progress to the current situation? Blame Lee Eun-hee? It seems to be out of the question, he is the most unselfish one.

But there is no point in talking about this now. We need to think about how to do this well. Otherwise, it will definitely not only be embarrassing to the company, but also they themselves will not be able to see others in the future.

She thought about it for a while, but she didn't have any idea at all, and it even delayed her original work. In this case, let's leave the problem to the girls.

It was originally a problem for the entire group. Besides, they were still their own Unnies, so the problem was caused by them. They couldn't explain it without giving it a headache.

As a result, the girls who were enjoying themselves in the dormitory were about to lose their good mood. After listening to Seohyun's retelling, Kim Taeyeon was still hesitant to tell the girls now. After all, everyone was thinking about what to eat at night. What? It’s easy to lose your appetite.

But it seems good to be able to skip one meal. They should really pay attention to their body shape recently. In this case, let's have a meeting: "Everyone, come over here. I have something important to announce to everyone."

"How important is it? Is it important to eat?"

"Isn't it Kim Taeyeon who wants to resign as captain? If that's the case, I personally feel that I should step forward without hesitation!"

"If you say so, I think I can do it too. I just want to be the captain!"

Kim Taeyeon gently rubbed her temples. These little girls still want to be the captain? Is the captain so easy to do? She works hard for them every day and she doesn’t have any money yet. Do you really think she, Kim Taeyeon, is willing to do it?

Of course, that being said, if Kim Taeyeon really wants to step down, the first person to quit will be herself. At least she has to ask why! Did Kim Taeyeon make a big mistake?

But there is no need for her to defend herself aggressively today, because soon this group of people will not be so relaxed, and they have to be the captain. Can they handle this kind of situation?

"We haven't come back for a long time. The company means that we will prepare for our comeback after the filming of the movie is over, so we can start to prepare for the songs one after another recently." Kim Taeyeon first laid the groundwork here.

The girls didn't have any reaction to this matter. Firstly, this kind of thing is not their responsibility. Returning and other matters are all the company's overall arrangements. Secondly, they have indeed rested for a long time and are resting in peace.

Thinking of their lovely fans, the girls even have the urge to play songs now. After all, artists and fans cannot be separated for too long. They need to rely on each other.

"This return can be regarded as another transformation for us. Everyone is mentally prepared. The company has a big plan!" Kim Taeyeon continued.

This will make the girls worry a lot. It is said that the transformation of girl groups is determined step by step according to time, and it is almost inevitable as age goes by.

For example, when they debuted, they featured a pure girl group, and after a year or two, they continued to attract fans with their sexy image and mouth-watering songs. Generally speaking, they have reached a stage at this time.

Those who are not popular can consider disbanding or giving it a final try, and popular groups often reach a period of transformation because they age and the market changes drastically. There are endless girl groups with this type of image.

The most common transformation is the sexy combination. Of course, there are many other styles now. Girls should be more cautious in this regard. With their popularity, they can afford one or two failures, but that's all. That’s all.

Just when the girls were thinking secretly, Kim Taeyeon finally told the whole story without giving up her words. The girls were all shocked and speechless. Does the company think too highly of them?

It’s no wonder that girls have this idea. With their popularity, they can definitely make a profit by releasing albums according to traditional methods. However, they have to take this eccentric approach. They don’t seem to need to use this method. How to get out of the way.

There are nine people and nine albums, and everyone's style is different. To put it harshly, it's embarrassing for them. In an instant, everyone's confidence was somewhat shaken.

This is not because the girls are belittling themselves, but because they didn't go to the meeting. They just heard such a general idea. It would be damned if they were really confident.

But it's not that they are unhappy. Yoona and Xiuying were obviously quite pleasantly surprised. They originally thought that Li Menglong was just perfunctory, but now it seems that the other party is really pushing forward the plan, and it is much beyond their expectations.

In this situation, the company is almost certain to make efforts. It can be said that their return this time has risen to the company's strategic level. It would be unreasonable if the company does not provide some support.

Now what they have to think about is how to make the album perfect, at least to make the fans like it. Otherwise, they will be sorry for the company and themselves.

The girls over there were still afraid that Kim Taeyeon was joking. Although they knew that Kim Taeyeon would not talk nonsense about such a big thing, they still went to inquire about it, just in case it was false news.

However, they got a definite plan from Li Menglong and Li Eunxi, and of course there were many details. They were convinced unknowingly. According to Li Menglong - you are Girls' Generation!

Thinking about it, it's true. They are Girls' Generation. If they just settle for the status quo in this position, they will be a bit sorry for their years of hard work and the support of their fans.

Even if it is to give back to the fans, they have to come up with new ideas and work hard. In this case, they will be nervous from now on. This time is not just an ordinary comeback, it is not impossible to call it a big competition within the team. .

And it’s not just about their popularity. As singers, what better explanation is there than music?

Besides, it can be seen from Yoona and Xiuying that the degree of freedom given by the company this time is unprecedentedly high. They can probably follow their own ideas throughout the process. This degree of freedom also makes them a little fascinated.

After so many years of making music that I don’t really like or agree with, I finally have an opportunity to sincerely communicate with my fans. Everyone really needs to think about it.

It stands to reason that music-level issues should not be a worry for them. After so many years of singing career, they have seen a lot. They should have a clear understanding of their own abilities, fans' preferences and even market preferences. That's right.

In fact, the girls do have a set of more mature song styles, but now it's not to challenge themselves. If Pani's is still quite satisfactory, then Yoona and Sooyoung are really turned upside down.

When I think of Yoona singing rap over there with dreadlocks and heavy makeup, regardless of how Yoona will sing in the end, the challenge and change alone are historic.

Taking Yoona's changes as a benchmark, the girls also had a severe headache for a while. This really became a challenge to themselves, and if they wanted to have a clear distinction in music style, they didn't have too many choices. many.

"What do you want to sing? Is there anyone who wants to sing RNB? If no one else sings, I will sing it!" Lee Soon Kyu was there to attract others.

In fact, RNB has given them preferential treatment, and no one is in a hurry to grab this. They are all thinking about how to make a big splash: "How about I sing bel canto? Ah..."

While speaking, Kim Taeyeon even performed a semblance of coloratura, which sounded quite similar, but does bel canto have an audience among ordinary fans? Or are there any more popular songs that are popular?

Fortunately, there are enough brains here, and after everyone brainstormed, they actually found many feasible solutions, such as reggae, soul music, blues, etc.

Of course, these are situations that no one had any idea about originally, and they just raised the possibility of a choice. In comparison, Yoona and Xiuying's goals are much clearer, and so is one of them.

"What do you want to sing, Unnie? Why haven't you spoken yet?" Yoona looked at Hyoyeon curiously. This person is not such a lady.

The reason why Hyoyeon didn't speak was naturally because she was thinking about her own style. It can be said that to some extent she is the most biased member of the girls.

When she first debuted, Hyoyeon was always the least popular member of the team. After all, her specialty was dancing, and there were so many sections for her to show off in one song.

However, as the popularity of girls has increased in recent years, Hyoyeon's personal activities and opportunities have increased correspondingly. Only then did everyone slowly see more of her possibilities.

So Hyoyeon has some knots in her heart to a certain extent. She also wants to prove that she is no worse than the other girls, at least she is not holding the group back.

Since it is necessary to use strengths and avoid weaknesses, it is necessary to increase the dance part of the song, but then it will become a more "ordinary" conventional dance song. This is not a challenge.

Fortunately, Hyoyeon did not stick to his own thinking, but kept diverging along this line of thinking. Since the current dance music is not good, what about the future dance music? What about dance music from the past?

It has to be said that this gives Hyoyeon a lot more room for choice. The future model she chooses is to make electronic dance music. Although it is more avant-garde, there is always something she doesn't like.

Now that the choice is quite clear, Hyoyeon said cheerfully: "I want to make the dance music of the past."

"Dance music from the past? What is dance music from the past?"

"Disco music is the music in dance halls around the 1980s." Hyoyeon explained here.

Her ideas are quite coherent. When doing disco, you can follow the nostalgic route, including the costumes. Of course, the dance must be innovative. It seems to be quite reliable.

This is also true. Hyoyeon's idea is already comparable to Seohyun's idea. It is much more reliable than Yoona and Sooyoung's idea of ​​simply pursuing their dreams. However, this makes the other girls even less happy. Well, why don't they think about this on weekdays?

As expected, people who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. The girls are already paying the price for the ease of the past. Of course, they will not think of this kind of thing in advance.

After all, the whole thing has such a sense of coincidence. If they were not Girls' Generation, if the company was not SW, and if there was no presence of Li Menglong in the middle, this matter would definitely not be possible.

Because they are Girls' Generation, they have enough popularity base for them to try; because the company is SW and will not use girls as the company's profit point; because of Li Menglong, he can take responsibility for both parties.

There are so many prerequisites for this matter to finally take shape. It is normal that the girls themselves did not think about it in advance. On the contrary, it is abnormal for people like Seohyun and Hyoyeon.

The worries of the girls are not enough to be conveyed to the company. Li Menglong has no sense of empathy at all. After all, he is just a nominal singer, and there is no need for him to participate.

As for Xu Xian, she didn't care at all. Although she was pulled over for a meeting inexplicably, she was still busy with the TV series after returning to the editing room.

In fact, Xu Xian is really not doing anything specific right now. He is even just watching the edited film over and over again. He spent a morning removing a scene and spent an afternoon adding the scene back. .

She also knows that these things are somewhat useless, but if she is not allowed to do these things, she will be restless. Because of this, she does not even have the energy to take care of Li Menglong's movies.

It is said that the filming of the movie can start at any time now, the preparation work is almost completed, the staff are on standby at any time, and the girls have memorized the script early.

It can be said that the entire crew is waiting for her alone. Xu Xian feels very ashamed of this, but she really has no choice. Even if she is forced to memorize the script for an afternoon, maybe she can remember it in the end. It’s only the last sentence that lives.

Xu Xian can only say that after the TV series ends, she will definitely devote 200% of her energy to the movie, with the same energy as when she debuted.

It's just that it seems that her solo album is still far away. Xu Xian can only say that time is not waiting for me, just take it one step at a time!
