Chapter 754 December (Part 2)

While Zhang Pingan was checking the work preparations related to "I.O.I", Zhou Xiaoqiong's agency gathered all the children who were still practicing: "Are you ready for the dance that the company asked you to practice recently? This is Because there is going to be a huge variety show for a girl group soon. This show is a girl group audition involving all Korean citizens..."

'National girl group audition' When the children heard this sentence, they all whispered to each other and let out shocked sighs. The person in charge of the trainees standing in front of them did not interrupt because of the children's exclaims. He was angry at what he was going to say next. In fact, when he received the news at first, he was almost as surprised as they were at this time.

The participation of people from all over the country means that after being selected, they will be crowned as 'national girl group members'. This will definitely have endless benefits for their future. Of course, the agency will also become The biggest beneficiary, after all, the Korean brokerage company takes the majority of the contracts given to newcomers!

After the children's exclamation subsided a little, the person in charge continued towards them with a full smile: "Okay, okay, children, be quiet and listen to what I have to say. This time the national girl group's The selection is determined by the audience's vote. Who among you can become a member of the national girl group is decided by the audience's vote. And the competitors you will face this time will be all the agencies on the market. "

The children were once again in shock. It turns out that the competition of this "national girl group" is so strong? Originally, when he debuted in his own company, it was just a matter of competition among the trainees within the company. Who is better and who is worse is usually known to everyone. But this time the competition for the ‘National Girl Group’ is between the entire entertainment industry’s agencies. Let’s not talk about large companies. In fact, there are many excellent trainees in many small companies.

Maybe they are 'A-level' in their own company, but that's not necessarily the case in the market as a whole. Because with the expansion of the influence of the Korean Wave, more and more people from all over Asia come to Korea to study, and as a result, the number of excellent trainees on the market has also increased. Moreover, this time the "National Women's Team" draft is competing among so many outstanding people, the competitive pressure can be imagined.

The person in charge continued: "The program produced this time is 'B.H Entertainment' PD Zhang Pingan as the chief planner and chief PD of the program. And this time it is a brand new talent show that has invested unprecedented funds to create. PD Zhang Pingan, I don’t need to introduce more about the production quality, right? He is one of the top three entertainment PDs in Korea, and you should have seen the music programs he produced, such as "Masked" and "Kan Sheng". The best music program, he is the first entertainment PD to put 'fairness' and 'strength' first."

When the person in charge talked about 'Zhang Pingan', Zhou Xiaoqiong, who was listening below, raised her eyebrows slightly because she still had Zhang Pingan's mobile phone number stored in her phone. Maybe, it’s time for me to find time to contact ‘An Geer’? Zhou Xiaoqiong really wants to join South Korea's "National Girl Group" and become a member of it.

In fact, there is an unspoken rule of "going through the back door and relying on relationships" all over the world. And Zhou Xiaoqiong happened to have such a relationship... so there was no reason not to take advantage of it. Cao Lu, who is very popular during this period, publicly stated in an interview program that one person she is very grateful to is Zhang Pingan. She went to "RS" because she was recommended by Zhang Pingan! Isn't this a trust relationship?

Yes, the entertainment industry is a place where personal connections are very important. It is common for artist friends to support each other. Whether they are from Kang Ho Dong or Yoo Jae Suk Line, they all belong to the top circles in the entertainment industry. Even the PD is divided into a network of artists that he often collaborates with.

For example, Na Young-seok belongs to Kang Ho-dong's faction, while Kim Tae-ho belongs to Yoo Jae-seok's Line.

As for Zhang Pingan, as a freelance producer, he wanders among various factions. He has no fixed camp of his own. He not only cooperates with Kang Ho Dong, but also has a very close relationship with people in Yoo Jae Suk's camp.

Connections exist in any professional circle. How to make good use of connections and how to monetize them depends on daily communication. And women happen to be the best people to make use of 'personal connections'. After all, women have certain innate advantages, and they themselves are very clear about where their advantages are, so as long as they make use of them... the 'depth' of the connections will make a difference. Can easily get help.

...

The "I.O.I" dormitory was built by Zhang Ping'an exactly according to the style of college dormitories around the early 2000s of China. Yes, it is the most old-fashioned bunk bed. Once the walls are painted, the bunks are built, and a comprehensive locker is ready for them to store their personal belongings. Of course, this is also the most economical way. As for wanting to decorate your room beautifully? Sorry, Zhang Pingan really never thought of investing so much budget into the construction of dormitories.

Although the children slept in the dormitory during filming, they did not necessarily come back to sleep every day. Especially Korean trainees are famous for being cruel to themselves when faced with the opportunity to debut.

Zhang Pingan still remembers clearly that three days after the release of the program's theme song, the trainees were given another opportunity to be rated. In order to get a higher rating in the second evaluation, at least half of them would not go back to the dormitory to sleep at night. Instead, they would stay in the practice room and practice frantically. When they were tired, they might lean against the wall in the corner of the practice room to take a nap, and then continue to practice after the sleepiness subsided.

This program was filmed in South Korea and China, but it can be clearly distinguished through the camera that the attitude of the Korean trainees towards practice is incomparable to the trainees on the Chinese side. Well... to be precise, the trainees on the Chinese side lack a sense of urgency.

Just when Zhang Pingan was visiting the dormitory, his mobile phone made a text message sound. Zhang Pingan casually took out his mobile phone and looked at the message from 'Yang Yueyue': "Brother An, let's eat Haidilao in Myeongdong tonight, Zhou Xiaoqiong will treat you."

Looking at this message, Zhang Pingan smiled and shook his head and said to himself: "You are really stupid. You are sold and still help count money."

At this time, Zhou Xiaoqiong treated him to hot pot. Isn't it obvious that he has something to ask for? Maybe it's two more shots, maybe... But Zhou Xiaoqiong's future personal development is not bad. And she is also pretty, the key is that she is young enough.

Zhang Pingan did not refuse, and directly replied to Yang Yueyue: "OK, Haidilao tonight, you and Xiaoju are in the company?"

In the cold Seoul, it is quite good to have a meal at Haidilao in the evening.

"Sister Xiaoju is practicing dance in the company, and I am hanging out in 'S.M.TOWN'."

This is a physical store opened by S.M. Company in Samseong-dong for its exclusive artist peripheral products. Here you can meet fans from all over the world. Even if they are not fans of S.M.'s groups, they will still visit such a super-large fan shopping store when they come to Seoul.

"Tell Xiaoju that I will pick you up at the entrance of 'coex' in an hour, and you can go together."

After putting down his phone, Zhang Pingan said to the executive PD: "Well, let's prepare for the program. Inform the company and start the formal filming in a week. The children will not be able to go home for the next three months. During the Spring Festival... we will decide whether to take a holiday or not. What do you think?"

The executive PD said: "Well, if the filming task is tight at that time, they may not want to go back. After all, it will be the most critical elimination period at that time. It is also a good thing to seize the time to practice for one more day."

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Well, next week, I will supervise the first day of filming, and I will leave the rest to you. By the way, notify all members of our group that the equipment will be finally tested three days before filming, and then we will have a group dinner! PD, you book a restaurant here, barbecue!"

"Okay, I will thank PD Zhang for everyone here."

After leaving the dormitory, Zhang Pingan drove to Samseong-dong. An hour later, Zhang Pingan's car stopped by the roadside. Yang Yueyue and Xiaoju entered the luxurious Rolls-Royce in the eyes of many passers-by. Yang Yueyue got in the car and sat directly in the back seat, while Xiaoju sat in the co-pilot seat.

Closing the car door, Xiaoju fastened her seat belt and said, "Brother An, Zhou Xiaoqiong sent a message today saying that she would treat us to Haidilao. I think there is something wrong. It's not the New Year or other festivals, why do you suddenly want to have a dinner together?"

Xiaoju is a little older than Yang Yueyue. So she sees some things more deeply than Yang Yueyue. After all, they both think that Zhou Xiaoqiong is an extremely realistic woman. So today, under the name of "treating dinner", Yang Yueyue also asked Zhang Pingan to join, which contains a lot of information.

Logically speaking, Zhang Pingan has no free time to care about Zhou Xiaoqiong's treat, right? But Zhang Pingan agreed today. Maybe there are some things that they are not aware of yet?

Just when Xiaoju was about to think in a wrong direction, Zhang Pingan said, "I recently planned a variety show, and Zhou Xiaoqiong is going to participate in that show."

After hearing Zhang Pingan's words, Xiaoju realized instantly that this was the situation. She thought Zhang Pingan was a person who liked "young".

If you want to talk about young, Yang Yueyue is not bad compared to Zhou Xiaoqiong in appearance, right? Didn't you see Zhang Pingan make a move on Yang Yueyue? It turned out to be a misunderstanding!

It turned out that Zhou Xiaoqiong invited her to dinner today just to ask Zhang Pingan to take care of her a little in the show...
