Korean Entertainment's Survival War

"Debut?"

It has only been a month since he came to MBK, and Zhong Taiquan has seen a more bizarre operation than the procrastinated and nondescript "IM66" project.

"Didn't the KBS project require people with acting experience to participate? DIA seniors have already confirmed that someone will go. The company said that IM66 is not good if it has been dragging on. A subunit called IM will be formed, a song will be released, and an MV will be shot. I have acting experience." Li Hanjie explained.

Chung Tae Kwon: ...

The show is still your MBK show, it can't be compared.

After being shocked, Jin Qizhong reacted: "The name of the group is IM? Won't it collide with Monstax's IM seniors?"

"I was worried about this when I was still called IM66," Li Hanjie also complained, "But, we don't have a place to talk."

"Then who will go to this... squad?"

"The three of us, Tai Yin, and Qi Shi, Tai Quan, will your guardian come to sign the contract?"

"I signed it myself. Because of the relationship between me and my family when I came to Korea, they will definitely not sign it. It doesn't matter. Although the United States can only buy alcohol at the age of 21, it is already available for employment. I can sign it," Zhong Tae-kwon said, " But with me? I’ve only practiced for a month, is it okay?”

"You are the main vocal, Brother Tae Kwon. The difficult movements are Han Jie's business. You just need to keep up with the dance. We need you to sing high notes." Jin Qizhong said.

From Meng Chunzhe to Zhong Tae Kwon, the skill of "lead singer's privilege" has been playing its role all the time.Don't look at him and Liu Huisheng as the lead singers in "produce101", it seems that they are not very popular as the main singers. In fact, their good looks and FNC did not say hello. The role given by An Junying is not too small, let alone there are better rankings ahead The main vocal trainees are Kim Jae-hwan, Ha Sung-woon, Jung Se-woon, and Jiang Dong-ho.No matter how talented Koreans are in singing and dancing, those who can sing high notes steadily every time are not Chinese cabbages. Large companies have a rich reserve of trainees, and sometimes they can pick and choose. Small companies sometimes want to promote groups. Everything is ready and we just need to wait for the lead singer to be in place. For example, the top female vocalist Jung Eun Ji in idol debuted as the lead singer of APINK after practicing for a month.With the ability to be the lead singer, whether it is Meng Chunzhe or Zhong Tae Kwon, there is no difficulty in passing the audition.As long as it is not acrobatics on stage, it is generally easier for a person who can only sing to keep up with the team in dance than for a person who can only dance to sing steadily.

Compared with Meng Chunzhe, Zhong Taiquan has other advantages. First, after participating in "produce101", he has a little foundation in dance. That is, he looks better than Meng Chunzhe.

Don't talk about Korean appearance supremacy. After ending his life as Meng Chunzhe, he also honestly chose Zhong Taekwon, who has superior appearance and figure, from the available identities as much as possible.

"I am sincere, although a little sudden, although a little sudden, today I—"

"Papa papa," Zheng Qishi clapped vigorously, "It's very easy to go up."

"This song is quite difficult." Zhong Tae Kwon said after singing.

"Senior Seventeen's high-pitched songs are sometimes difficult." Jin Qizhong said that the two lead singers of Seventeen who let the ultimate appearance control company Pledis lower the requirements for appearance are almost the highest level among the fourth-generation boy groups. Even if I was able to sing a special song showing off the high pitch like "tears" before changing my voice, I should be cautious.

"Because it is difficult, it can become a bright spot." Moon Tae-eun said.

"Is there any dance highlight?"

Li Hanjie pointed at herself: "I want to flip."

Chung Tae Kwon:?Did the original choreography have somersaults?

Li Hanjie: "If we dance the original choreography, will it be better than Seventeen's seniors?"

Zhong Tae Kwon: Yes.It is easier to distinguish good singing from bad singing, but to tell good from bad dancing at a glance, you have to be very good at dancing or bad at dancing.Besides, Seventeen has thirteen people, and they are only five people. Even if Zhong Tae Kwon is not as slow as before, he is still slow in dancing.

"Don't worry, there is no dance solo part in mainvocal, and no one will say anything. You can just dance with us, the key is to be neat," although Li Hanjie was the one who led Zhong Tae Kwon to learn dance, and five people formed a team to compete in "the unit" After the small group, it was vaguely headed by Moon Tae-eun, who was in the middle age, "Practice this song first, we have to pass the primary selection."

After completing the task of song selection and part assignment, while preparing for the primary stage, the five people made their debut under the name "IM" in order to be eligible to participate in the KBS audition officially named "theunit".

——Although it is not uncommon for them to participate in publicity shortly after their debut, since they dare to do so, it is definitely not against the rules, but MBK's operations are still too flamboyant.

Chung Tae Kwon was practicing this debut song called "Sadstory" with complicated emotions. It's not that he didn't think that he might debut as an idol, but he never thought that he would debut like this.

There is one thing to say, the company's planning is not very good, but the music taste is not bad.No wonder those singers who were popular before, such as Davichi and Tara, have excellent sound sources.

But!Why is it that Davichi sings so well and there is only one Tara who barely takes the lead, and these few who "debuted" with me don't seem to have learned to sing well? Where is your vocal teacher at MBK?

"produce101" has a lot of talents and Meng Chunzhe is indeed young and slow, just practice obediently. In the small group "IM", Zhong Tae Kwon has short practice time, obvious shortcomings, and his age is considered a big brother line. Passively waiting for others to approach It didn't work, so he made his own attempt: "Han Jie, have you never tried to move your voice forward?"

Li Hanjie: "Have you ever studied vocal music?"

Zhong Tae Kwon smiled shyly: "My mother taught this."

"Zhong Taiquan"'s mother who died early was poor. He was talking about the things before he was hit by the system. Although he did not come from a major in music, his singing skills were not self-taught.On the contrary, a father who makes film soundtracks and a mother who teaches vocal music at a conservatory, it is strange that his son went to study design, so that when he started making music, he was dissed by his family: "You are not white. Have you been struggling for so many years?"

Is that what you said?It was obviously only more than a year since the first "death", but he felt that it was already far away.

With the topic of vocal music, the distance between Chung Tae Kwon and the original trainees of MBK has narrowed a little bit. He debuted on September [-]st and went to the primary election of "theunit" at the end of the month. For Chung Tae Kwon, the practice time is already very tight Yes, compared to improving strength, interpersonal relationships can be put aside.

The elimination rate in South Korea's entertainment industry is astonishing. There are hundreds of performers in "theunit", which advertises as giving Yizhu a second chance. The selection and recording will be conducted in three days from September 29 to October 90.00. About one hundred people were selected.The primary election is jointly decided by the artist judges invited by the program group and the audience in the venue. The judges can decide whether to pass the primary election, but when [-]% of the audience votes to pass, a "superboot" is reached, and the opinions of the judges are not counted.However, if they can conquer audiences who are not familiar with them, the probability that the judges will disagree is very, very low.As for why viewers who don't worry about voting have fan filters...

We're all here to participate in "theunit", how many fans can we still have?

Since it will be recorded for three days, when it is not my turn to go on stage, I have time to glance at others.Chung Tae Kwon was originally worried that MBK’s operation of letting trainees debut in order to appear on the show would be treated specially. Looking at it in the past, not only did it not take long like the company’s senior sister DIA, but it was already confirmed that many of them were confused. Those who were born as actors Also came to "try".

No wonder there are so many people.Zhong Tae-kwon felt relieved.

Look at the strength again.It turned out that Zhong Tae-kwon was still thinking that he had worked very hard in the audition full of trainees. This time, he will be the bottom in other items other than singing. After the recording started, he came to join in the fun. Having said that, there are also some music singers. Although idols account for the vast majority, their strengths are uneven.Whether an idol can become popular depends on the combined effect of various factors such as personal ability, appearance, image building, planning, company support, luck, etc. It is too biased to say that everyone who is popular is good or not. Among idols, the proportion of those with poor strength is still a little higher.Assuming that everyone's human nature is the same, after you become popular, you want to mess around every event, not to mention that passers-by and fans will scold you, and your teammates and the company will not stand it.If you're not popular, you won't even get on the stage a few times, and it's much more difficult to maintain enthusiasm and focus.

That being said... maybe I can try to win it?

Chung Tae-kwon is not sure what KBS is going to do with the draft, but judging from the fact that the number of people who pass the primary election is expected to be around 101, it should not be much easier to win shots in this show than in "produce[-]". Is there any internal transaction between MBK and KBS? It's hard to say, but even if there is, it's not for him, a newcomer who has been in the company for less than three months, and those who have practiced for a long time are not unable to make it to the stage.

"Do you remember when I introduced myself?"

There is no need for Zhong Tae Kwon to say anything else, if he is not caught by the judges CUE, he only needs to say a self-introduction.But he had only been a trainee for a short time, and he came back from abroad, so Wen Tae-eun still asked one more question before going on stage.

"Remember," Chung Tae Kwon said, "Isn't it a bit disgusting to call yourself 'Leng Du Nan'?"

"I still have to call myself 'the smile is very attractive'." Li Hanjie, who also has a tough face, feels sorry for this.

"I first said 'chicken to chicken'." Jin Qizhong said.

The brothers silently gave him thumbs up.

After a bit of teasing before going on stage, a few "debut singers" who had only appeared on stage once on the day of their debut walked onto the center stage of "theunit", introduced themselves one by one, and then performed "verynice".

The trainees of MBK chose a suitable song. "Verynice" has enough popularity, but few people have sung it. The thirteen people of the original song have been reduced to five, and the basic movements have been changed substantially. In this way, the audience is not only familiar with the song, but also has enough freshness. The effect of dancing with 13 people will not be the same as that of [-] people. Therefore, there is no need to compare with the original singer, and the standard is virtually lowered. What the MBK trainees have to do at this time is to dance where they should dance and sing where they should be in tune.

Jong Tae-kwon, who had undergone special training from "produce101" and MBK seniors, followed the knife group dance and found the camera.

"I am sincere, although a little sudden, although a little sudden, today I—"

——I also sang the high note in the chorus that ordinary lead singers would not challenge.

The author has something to say: Why is twice-cooked pork sometimes included in 404 statistics but often not included in Li Hanjie?Because IM is a combination specially produced by MBK to allow trainees to participate in the unit. After a day of activities, they threw it on the show. After the show ended, there was no movement. Those who were active in the debut group were in the debut group, and the backup dancers were the backup dancers. Wait until 404 At that time, only Li Hanjie was left among the four in IM...

Did I blackmail the appearance of seventeen's dual lead singers?Of course, fans will think that their idols are handsome everywhere, but if you compare them horizontally, the faces of these two people are indeed considered basing in pledis, and then compare them horizontally in the idol circle... so strength is still very important.The problem with the passbook is that he is not up to standard in everything except singing, but as long as he sings well, he can be rescued, and it is not a big problem to be a trainee in a non-three major company.

Muay Thai complements the basics of appearance, height and dance, even if you are a little older, it is no problem to get bread crumbs.
