Qingtan cave, Jiangnan District, Seoul.
The "so and so cave" in South Korea is equivalent to the "so and so Street" in China. Qingtan cave is located in the most prosperous and affluent Jiangnan District in South Korea, which is also regarded as the core of South Korea's entertainment industry.
Famous entertainment brokerage companies such as s.m.g, t-rf and reop are gathered here. Every year, a large number of professionally trained artists come out of Qingtan cave, Lun Xian cave and Yaou Pavilion cave in Jiangnan District, providing new blood for the entertainment industry in South Korea.
SyG's headquarters is in Qingtan cave, which is a 12 storey high-rise building.
SyG is not a top Korean entertainment brokerage company. Its strength and scale can not be compared with those of s.m.g, but its history is quite long. This headquarters built in the early 1990s is the best proof.
When Lu Chen came to SyG headquarters, SYG president Li Zhenhao had led a number of senior executives to greet him at the door.
Although Lu Chen visited here a few days ago, the reception standard of SyG has been raised to a higher level today, and several major shareholders of SyG even appeared in the welcome crowd.
Lu Chen was completely surrounded by them and stepped into the building.
"It was a bad time last time..."
Li Zhenhao said sincerely, "I didn't come back in time when I was on a business trip in Thailand, so Mr. Lu Chen, please give me a chance to make up for it and have dinner together!"
When Lu Chen came last time, the president of SyG was not in South Korea, which was a miss. The first thing after Li Zhenhao came back was to send Lu Chen a warm invitation again.
For the sake of maintaining the friendship with his partners, Lu Chen's second visit to YG today was due, but this time he only brought his assistant.
Lu Xi and Chen Feier went shopping in Mingdong together.
The three will return to China tomorrow. The tickets have been booked, so today is the last day in South Korea.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "President Li is too polite. Then... It's better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
Li Zhenhao suddenly showed a bright smile.
The president of SyG is in her thirties. She has studied in China for many years, so she is proficient in Chinese and Chinese culture. Shortly after returning home, she took over her father's position and took charge of the entertainment brokerage company.
It is precisely because of this origin that Li Zhenhao attached great importance to the Chinese market. He established an office in Beijing very early to actively recommend his contracted artists to expand the domestic market.
However, SyG's strength is limited. The development of several main artists in China is not very ideal. The situation has not changed greatly until they began to cooperate with Lu Chen.
Relying on the good cooperation with Lu Chen, many artists of SyG participated in the shooting of "romantic house full" and "blue life and death love" respectively, which quickly became popular in China and South Korea and brought SyG a lot of money!
Li Zhenhao's attention to Lu Chen is naturally extraordinary.
In the conversation room, the group took the elevator to the fifth floor of SyG headquarters.
The third and fourth floors are the practice rooms for trainees, while the fifth and sixth floors are the practice rooms and studios for budding artists.
The trainee system of Korean entertainment brokerage companies has a long history and is very strict. The elimination rate of trainees is quite high. Although there is only one layer from the top to the bottom, I don't know how much sweat and tears to pay from the fourth floor to the fifth floor. I have to have enough luck and talent.
South Korea's entertainment industry has long been a complete assembly line. There are a large number of artists making their debut every year, which also leads to extremely cruel competition. If they do not become popular within one or two years after their debut, they will basically be eliminated.
Of course, this cruelty is not only between artists, but also between entertainment brokerage companies.
Today, Li Zhenhao cordially invited Lu Chen to visit SyG again. Of course, the main purpose is not to invite Lu Chen to dinner, but to ask him to guide the women's group group hgirl, which has recently made its debut in SyG.
Hgirl has a total of seven members. They are between 17 and 19 years old and no less than 1.70 in height. All of them have been trained in SyG for more than three years.
SyG has invested a lot of resources in training hgirl. At the same time, it also has high hopes that hgirl can join the ranks of the first-line women's League in South Korea and become a cash cow of the company.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The women's League in South Korea is already highly competitive. Hgirl has just made its debut, s.m.g launched Kuro, reop launched dawn girl, which makes hgirl unable to lift her head at all, and the market response is very cold.
Of course, SyG can't be reconciled to failure, so it makes every effort to invite Lu Chen, hoping to use Lu Chen's talent in music creation to make hgirl glow with due brilliance.
The number of Korean women's groups is large, and there is a serious situation of homogenization. All the members of the women's groups are young and beautiful, and can sing and dance well. Therefore, whether there are heavy popular works has become an important key.
Both Kuro and dawning girls have master songwriters to create special songs for them. Their debut work has been a great success. In contrast, hgirl is much worse in this regard.
"Hello, Mr. Lu Chen!"
In hgirl's exclusive practice room, seven young and beautiful girls dressed in tight practice skirts, revealing slender white thighs, stood in a row and bowed to Lu Chen to say hello.
It's still in Chinese!
Lu Chen is well-informed. He can't help feeling a little dizzy. He nodded and said, "hello."
The accompanying hgirl agent quickly introduced Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu Chen, this is song Yinghui..."
The girl whose name was called stepped forward and saluted again: "Hello, Mr. Lu Chen!"
Song Yinghui is the captain of hgirl and the best figure in the team. She is quite bold. While saying hello to Lu Chen, she also gives him a hot look.
In today's South Korea, Lu Chen is undoubtedly the most popular Chinese star. The number of his fans even exceeds many local first-line artists in South Korea.
The trilogy of "blue life and death love", "full house of romance" and "you from the stars" has given Lu Chen an extraordinary position in the Korean entertainment circle, and has a different attraction for a new artist like song Yinghui.
Most importantly, Lu Chen also holds the "key" to fame and popularity.
Lu Chen didn't care too much because he met many female fans with similar eyes and met all members of hgirl one by one under the introduction of his agent.
It has to be said that being surrounded by so many beautiful girls and treated with the attitude of fans towards idols makes people feel very elated, but Lu Chen is not an ordinary person after all and has enough willpower.
After the introduction, he said bluntly, "please perform a work."
Not surprisingly, Lu Chen's request was implemented quickly.
