My girlfriend is an idol

Chapter 208 New Girl Group Variety Show

"Girls' Generation has just renewed, and the outside world has even speculated that there will be a return in the second half of the year. After all, there are not many women's groups that can go through seven years.

You are pushing the new women's team at this time, afraid that it will be blocked by the light of the seniors."

Empire Entertainment has the big mountain of Girls' Generation. Although it is a new company, no one will ignore it with this combination.

Right now their value has not been squeezed out. People with a little business acumen will choose to arrange the return of Girls’ Generation and then touring, using this to earn the first pot of gold, fame and fortune.

This sharp judgment made Li Xianzhe nodded secretly. As expected, it was Yang Xianshuo. In my memory, RedVelet made his debut a bit too hastily. It was affected by the events of EXO and fx.

In addition, the company's planning route for this new girl group is unprecedented, and it is not good to say that the appearance of RedVelet's debut song MV at the beginning was almost aroused by passers-by.

In the end, the women's group debut did not reach the expected height.

"Girls' Generation is definitely going to return. This is the first return of the seven after the first collective appointment. The expectations of the outside world are very high. From this point of view, as long as the exposure of the new girl group is resolved..."

"Unless their (new girl group) debut has the same level of topicality as the seventh anniversary of Girls’ Generation...

Or you can choose to make this new girl group debut at the Girls’ Generation 7th Anniversary Concert. First, there is a wave of popularity and the predecessors will bring the area. Then, as long as the quality of the debut song is not bad, it is basically a success."

Yang Xianshuo touched Li Xianzhe with a glass of wine, and said, just then, seven boys walked into the canteen.

At a fixed glance, they were some of the preparatory members of Ikon who hadn't made their debut, but they were not seven, and there were a few extra faces.

"Ah Niyah, there is it, President Nim~"

Except for the four people of Jin Zhini, Yang Xianshuo and Li Xianzhe sat in the central area of ​​the canteen. It was hard for people to ignore it.

The president, who usually only stays in his office, appeared in the cafeteria for an unprecedented time, and there were female trainees present.

This obviously does not comply with YG's rule that male and female trainees are not allowed to appear in the cafeteria at the same time.

With just a light glance, the older boys shivered in fright, lowered their heads, and bowed nonstop when they ran over.

"Oh? Is it Han Bin Zhiyuan? Finished practicing?"

Yang Xianshuo put his hands on his chin and grinned gently, but unfortunately these people who bowed their heads all the way didn't notice this scene.

"Inside... let's come over for dinner."

"Oh...Thank you, let's go eat."

The few people headed by Jin Hanbin suddenly became lighter and fled the canteen directly after bending at Li Xianzhe.

Stay for dinner?How can they not hear that Yang Xianshuo said that because there were guests present.

With his gaze taken back from those people, Lee Hyun-che was thoughtful. Among the three major clubs, YG did the most in the draft.

Bigbang's "Bigbang Debut Record", Winner's "Win:whoisNext".

Ikon's "Mixmatch" and "MixNine" which was later controversial but failed to debut, and the new group debut draft, and the group is a different type.

Each one succeeded in raising unprecedented levels of topic and attention before and after his debut, which is exactly what Li Xianzhe currently lacks.

Brought in like this, Li Xianzhe suddenly felt that Yang Xianshuo had opened a new door for him.

"It's not impossible. Generally speaking, in order to make this women's group successful, the strength of the members and the value of their faces must be a blockbuster.

Or, when Girls' Generation returns, bring their publicity, if you remove these, only the variety show will be left."

Variety show?Yang Xianshuo put down his knife and fork and waited for Li Xianzhe's following.

"Korean variety shows are blooming, and there are countless types of themes that we can think of or unexpected.

Only, in the draft variety show is relatively unpopular, especially the well-known combination, who participated in the draft variety show before their debut and thus made their debut.

Such as "Kpop-Star" and "SuperStarK" that you participated in the recording, as well as the more technical "Showmethemoney", the amateur "VoiceKorea", the female Rapper gathering place "UnprettyRapstar", these are relatively well-known to the public. of.

But they all have one thing in common. There are so many contestants and they are not specifically used to cultivate idol."

If you really want to count, remove the internal variety show produced by major companies, and the only idol draft that has come out and in the true sense is "produce101".

This is a super-large women's team draft in the true sense of the country. In the first season alone, more than 30 companies participated, and 11 out of 101 trainees were selected. At first glance, the competition rate is close to ten to one.

But...Who has ever thought about the number of participants before the preliminary rounds...

Of course, it is impossible for Li Xianzhe to let "produce101" be born at this time. His own reputation is not enough, and his company is unable to gather hundreds of trainees from dozens of companies into one program.

"So you want to be a variety show dedicated to let trainees go to the competition, and then win the final, debut?"

Yang Xianshuo suddenly guessed Li Xianzhe's intentions. Compared with YG's previous launches, it looks like changing the soup without changing the medicine.

But...because it is a girl group, it is not undesirable.

Li Xianzhe nodded, "Yes, when the few people just came in, I think I can learn from the model of YG's previous "Win: WhoisNext". In this way, the new girl group can also absorb a wave of heat before its debut."

"But have you ever thought that Empire Entertainment has never launched an artist-qualified entertainment show, just producing a variety show similar to this model, what about the ratings?"

In Yang Xianshuo's view, no matter how popular the women's group is, the ability to attract gold cannot be compared with that of the men's group. At least 14 years ago, the three major clubs plus DSP and CUBE did not launch a variety show for women's group.

Even the Girls' Generation in the peak period may not be able to beat Superjunior and TVXQ in the peak period.

In addition, the women's group debuted at the same time, and the preservation period was less than half of the time of the men's group.

The men's team can be active until the age of 30 to serve in the military, and the women's team begins to decline after the age of 25.

This also shows to some extent that the investment of major companies in women's groups cannot be compared with that of men's groups.

For this reason, Yang Xianshuo participated in the production of three men's team draft variety shows, but never launched a women's team draft variety show.

"So we have to change the model, assuming...16 trainees will participate, divided into Group A and Group B. Initially, each person will be tested for all-round strength. Those who are assigned to Group A will be equipped with the standards of artists. There are special agents, assistants, makeup artists and so on.

For those in Group B, the food, clothing, housing and transportation are all standards for trainees."

Yang Xianshuo's eyes brightened. Although the two groups were compared, there is no doubt that this kind of differential treatment is the easiest to stimulate the trainees' desire to win. For the program group, the highlight also appears.
