Chapter 52: Min Xizhen of God (Dongdong Helm Master Increases the Volume)

If you continue to cut off, you will inevitably suffer from chaos.

Su Jinxing doesn't care, but Jin Shaoqing can't be immersed in tenderness... uh, strong country?

"You find a seat and sit down. I'll buy fried chicken. I'll tell you something later."

"Okay." Jin Shaoqing didn't notice anything strange and responded with a smile as usual.

"Senior, give me your schoolbag and I'll hold it for you."

"No need." Su Jinxing said, turned and walked away.

Jin Shaoqing tilted her head and looked at Su Jinxing's back in confusion.

[Did I accidentally make my seniors angry?]

Su Jinxing took a deep breath, carried his schoolbag and went to the fried chicken window to queue up.

The feelings of a girl are like a poem with gorgeous words, euphemistic and pleasant to the ear.

Frankly speaking, Su Jinxing was moved.

Maybe it was a moment when they got along, or maybe it was that afternoon, but I don’t know when. In Su Jinxing’s heart, this girl named Jin Shaoqing was no longer the captain of GFriend, but her identity was named Jin Shaoqing.

Cheng Dayong is right.

The eyes she looked at herself were not clear, and the eyes she looked at her gradually lost their clarity.

Carrying the fried chicken, I returned to the seat chosen by Jin Shaoqing.

The girl was thoughtful, and when she saw the look on Su Jinxing's face, Jin Shaoqing's heart skipped a beat.

Su Jinxing's expression made her feel uneasy.

"Teacher Qing, there is something I want to tell you." Su Jinxing put the fried chicken and Coke on the table and said.

"Let's talk after dinner." Jin Shaoqing interrupted Su Jinxing's speech for the first time.

The girl's eyes were stubborn and somewhat pleading.

Su Jinxing felt a pain in his heart and nodded.

Leaning on the chair, looking at Jin Shaoqing who was immersed in eating, the complex emotions in her heart flowed through her heart like water.

After an unknown amount of time, Jin Shaoqing raised her head.

"I'm full." He smiled brightly at Su Jinxing and said, "Senior, you can eat."

He pushed the dinner plate in front of Su Jinxing, took a glass of Coke, bit the straw and looked at Su Jinxing with a smile.

"I'll take it back to eat." Su Jinxing said.

"I'm going to get the packing box."

Before Su Jinxing could say anything, Jin Shaoqing had already stood up and ran away.

Su Jinxing stared at Jin Shaoqing's position and remained silent.

After a while, Jin Shaoqing came back, packed the boxes and left the canteen together.

silence.

This was the first time that Su Jinxing and Jin Shaoqing walked together in silence like this. Usually, both Jin Shaoqing and Su Jinxing would take the initiative to stir up topics and break the silence when they were silent.

But this time, the silence continued for a long time.

Su Jinxing knew he couldn't go on like this.

"Teacher Love."

"Inside!" As soon as Su Jinxing finished speaking, Jin Shaoqing responded immediately.

"In a while, I may rarely come to school. I joined a college entrance examination training institution and will start preparing for the college entrance examination." Su Jinxing told Jin Shaoqing about his upcoming itinerary.

"Senior, are you preparing for the exam? Come on!" Jin Shaoqing clenched her fists and cheered.

A smile appeared on Su Jinxing's face.

"You have to work hard. As a trainee of S.M., you must put practice first and put other things aside."

Jin Shaoqing's heart trembled.

Su Jinxing continued: "The company strictly prohibits trainees from falling in love. If you, Teacher Qing, have someone you like, you must restrain it for your own sake. Your debut is the most important thing."

Jin Shaoqing lowered her head and bit her lower lip.

"Then what if the person you like leaves during this period."

Su Jinxing paused.

Jin Shaoqing also stopped. The girl raised her head and looked at Su Jinxing's side face, waiting for the other party's next words.

"The love you have when you are young is just the adolescence's infatuation with the opposite sex. Is it really love?" Su Jinxing smiled, "If the person you like also likes you, during the time you are apart, you can enrich each other.

, if we can still stick to our hearts when we get together again one day in the future, wouldn’t it be a kind of romance?"

Jin Shaoqing stared into Su Jinxing's eyes. The girl's fiery gaze almost melted Su Jinxing's firm thoughts.

"Then senior, do you think he likes me?"

Like it?

"Maybe."

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Jin Shaoqing's face, and she extended her right little finger towards Su Jinxing.

"Senior, let's make an agreement. If I still like him in the future, when I confess to him, senior will witness it."

The girl's smile is like sunshine, lighting up her heart.

Su Jinxing was infected and a smile appeared on his face.

"Then let's make a deal. When you stabilize your debut, I'll come and witness it!"

Stretch out your little finger and make love with Jin Shao.

"A promise made under the sun cannot be forgotten."

"certainly."

…

dormitory.

After bidding farewell to Su Jinxing, Jin Shaoqing returned to her dormitory.

Lying on the bed, the scene just agreed upon echoed in my mind.

Even if the senior didn't say it directly, she would not understand what Su Jinxing meant.

"Debut?" Jin Shaoqing murmured.

Since meeting her senior, she has indeed wasted some practice time. She deliberately inquires about her senior's class time every day, ensuring that she will be at school when her senior is there.

Tired?

Not tired.

How can you be tired when you are with the person you like?

The senior said that the love you had when you were young was just a provocation towards the opposite sex, is that true?

Jin Shaoqing is not clear, maybe.

But she can know from today's conversation that the senior also likes her, and that's enough!

The senior is busy with the college entrance examination and work, and she also needs to practice for her debut. It is indeed very irrational to date at this time.

The senior is indeed a senior, he has even thought of these things.

Remember the present moment and meet again in the future after everyone has settled down. If we still have feelings for each other, will we be together?

Jin Shaoqing couldn't help but have a smile on her face.

It really sounds very romantic.

Make an appointment in the present and meet the future again.

whee!

Jin Shao lay happily on the bed, thinking about the future.

But Su Jinxing didn't think so.

As a reborn veteran, he is not very optimistic about the love between boys and girls in their youth. This kind of emotion is like a rootless tree, too illusory.

Although people who encounter amazing years when they are young will never forget them for life, Su Jinxing does not think that he will be the sun in Jin Shaoqing's youth.

Let her get back on track first. When she debuts and meets all kinds of outstanding people of the opposite sex, she may forget these years.

Su Jinxing felt a little melancholy.

Is he willing to do this?

Nonsense, of course I don’t want to.

A girl who follows behind her all day long and calls her senior really hurts Su Jinxing's heart.

But reality is not a fairy tale. For Su Jinxing, GFriend’s captain Jin Shaoqing is more useful than Su Jinxing’s girlfriend Jin Shaoqing.

GFriend is the most important part of his first five-year plan. It is not an exaggeration to say it is the absolute core. It is impossible for Su Jinxing to overthrow the plan that he has been preparing for so long just because of feelings. He has already passed it.

At an age when he was desperate for love, for Su Jinxing now, rationality dominates.

"Jin Shaoqing..." Su Jinxing sat on the sofa, lost in thought.

He was not Liu Xiahui. Faced with such a lively, interesting, and long-legged girl as Jin Shaoqing, Su Jinxing was naturally attracted to her.

But as the saying goes, a girl is pregnant with spring.

What I said to Jin Shaoqing today was not what I said to myself.

If in the future, when GFriend settles down, Jin Shaoqing is still the same as she is today, then I...

Su Jinxing smiled bitterly.

Let’s talk about it then.

Who would have thought that he only approached Jin Shaoqing because he was the captain of GFriend at first, and after deliberately approaching him with a purpose, he was actually moved by Jin Shaoqing.

You have really lived your life in a dog's belly, and you are actually attracted to a sixteen-year-old girl?

I really deserve to die!

"I thought planning was already a headache, but I didn't expect relationships to be even more of a headache." Su Jinxing rubbed his temples in distress.

It's not like he hasn't been in love before, but this feeling of being moved by his heart is really not good.

But it was impossible for him to give up completely.

"Human beings are really contradictory creatures." Su Jinxing murmured.

I quickly adjusted my mood and brought it back.

Now that this matter has been settled with Jin Shaoqing, the rest can be put on the right track.

All kinds of thoughts always come to mind when we stay together. If this is the case, then run away!

If you can't afford to offend, can you still afford to hide?

"It has nothing to do with Fengyue, I am waiting for your reply~~"

The sudden ringtone interrupted Su Jinxing's thoughts and he took the phone over.

Caller: Kim Taeyeon.

Su Jinxing was startled, why was this person calling him at this time?

Line connected.

"Yo Busa yo, Taeyeon is angry."

"Producer Su, when will you be available?" Kim Taeyeon's voice came from the receiver.

"What's the matter?" Su Jinxing asked in confusion. She suddenly called him about her job. What happened to Kim Taeyeon?

"Producer Su, have you forgotten that before you returned to China, you said that you would take the time to send me the relevant information about the solo song?"

It was only when Kim Taeyeon said this that Su Jinxing remembered this.

I patted my head and actually forgot about it.

"Mia Nei Nu Na, I will package it and send it to you right now." Su Jinxing apologized.

I was so busy after I agreed that I only remembered this now.

"It's okay." Kim Taeyeon vaguely noticed that Su Jinxing's tone was different from usual, so she didn't press the question, "Are you coming to the company today?"

"Go, there is a meeting to be held."

In the afternoon, there was a Red Velvet concept meeting led by Min Xizhen. As a die-hard Min fan, Su Jinxing naturally had to attend.

Tomorrow, Su Jinxing made an appointment to meet with Mrs. Jin and Uncle Yin. He had just returned to South Korea and was quite busy.

"Well, you should get busy first. Don't forget to send me the information." Kim Taeyeon reminded.

"I know, don't worry." After Su Jinxing finished speaking, the phone hung up.

"It's 12:40, I can still sleep for a while." Looking at the time, I set an alarm clock for 1:30.

Personally speaking, Su Jinxing feels more energetic if he takes a five-minute lunch break than if he doesn't sleep at all. The afternoon meeting is at 3:30, leaving two hours as a buffer.

Set the alarm, put down your phone, and go to sleep.

five minutes later.

Su Jinxing sat up immediately.

"I almost forgot again." Su Jinxing muttered, opening his phone, deleting the demo and lyrics of the full version in the document, and then packaged and sent the relevant information of "I" to Kim Taeyeon.

After doing all this, Su Jinxing felt relieved and lay down on the bed.

Take a nap!

…

At 3:30 in the afternoon, S.M Company’s Red Velvet concept conference room.

Su Jinxing is sitting in the second seat on the left. In front of Su Jinxing, the first person on the left is Zhang Yinya, the leader of the planning team. The first person on the right is Lee Sung-soo, the director of the performing arts department.

Ji Yongyuan didn’t come over. The only members of Red Velvet’s concept team planning a group were Su Jinxing and team leader Zhang Yinya.

The main seat was empty, Min Xizhen, who was presiding over the meeting, had not come over yet, and the participants were all doing their own preparations.

Su Jinxing took the book that he had recorded and recalled about the concept of Red Velvet in previous meetings and looked through it.

Regardless of their faction, everyone here is the real elite of S.M. They are all top-notch experts in producing idol groups.

Su Jinxing has his own plan, but he needs to learn in many places. No one can achieve success overnight and become a big fat man in one bite. While working his way up step by step from the grassroots level, Su Jinxing is also learning various experiences.

Especially regarding the production of girl groups, Su Jinxing decided to create an S.M version of GFriend.

Then, he did exactly that, bringing Jin Shaoqing and Zheng Yilin to S.M., and would later bring the other four people back.

What next?

Su Jin can't do it anymore.

He is a low-level artist, and he knows a basket-making girl group.

So learn.

The birth of Red Velvet is an excellent opportunity for Su Jinxing.

From the birth of the concept of Red Velvet to the present, Su Jinxing has participated in the entire process. He has not been absent from every formal meeting and has memorized a lot of knowledge and experience, which he will be able to use in the near future.

Su Jinxing's first five-year plan has already taken shape. It is interlocking and basically revolves around GFriend.

As the core of the plan, Su Jinxing naturally needs a hundred hearts.

The importance of GFriend is even more important than his admission to Seoul University. If the latter fails, he can still go to Korea or Yonsei, but if there is a problem with the former, he will really be sent.

The kind that was directly announced in the first five-year plan.

While thinking wildly, Min Xizhen walked in from the conference room.

Everyone in the conference room, including Minister of Performing Arts Lee Sung-soo, all stood up.

"Everyone, take a seat." Min Xizhen waved her hand and sat on the main seat.

Su Jinxing and others took their seats one after another.

"Team Leader Zhang, are the materials ready?" Min Xizhen asked Zhang Yinya who was beside Su Jinxing.

"Right away." Zhang Yinya typed quickly on the laptop keyboard with both hands. From Su Jinxing to now, Zhang Yinya has been tinkering with this material.

"Then let's talk about Red Velvet's problem first. I have read all the content you discussed during this period. The overall content is very good, and the preparation of the main plot has not strayed from the topic. However, there are some small issues that I need to point out. First of all

yes……"

Su Jinxing opened his notebook and listened carefully to Min Xizhen's speech like a student listening in class, writing down the key points in his notes.

This scene was something other producers at the meeting had become accustomed to.

At first I was confused as to what this person was doing by remembering something like this, but as time went on I got used to it.

Min Xizhen glanced at Su Jinxing, who was writing furiously, and continued to talk about the loopholes in his previous work.

F(x) is the first concept group created by Min Hee Jin. Judging from the results, it is quite successful. Although the timing of their debut is extremely embarrassing, they still rely on the excellent concept and the hard power of the members to gain fame.

The success of a combination is inseparable from the efforts of the team behind it. In other words, generally speaking, 70% of the success of a combination is attributed to the company's team, and the remaining 30% is due to the efforts of the team members themselves.

factor.

F(x) has very little resource tilt, which is easy to understand from the company’s perspective.

Girls’ Generation debuted in 2007, followed closely by Function in 2009. Compared with Girls’ Generation, Function’s return rate is undoubtedly incomparable.

If anyone who is not a fan were to allocate resources, they would choose to tilt the majority of resources towards Girls' Generation rather than functions, because when you give functions, you need to consider factors such as whether you can recoup your costs and earn more profits.

With the same resources given to Girls' Generation, repayment is not a matter of concern. The company only cares about how much money it can make.

In addition, given Girls' Generation's popularity, resources will even automatically come to our door and ask Girls' Generation to attend by name.

Function resources are relatively small, which is completely understandable from the perspective of S.M.

Moreover, as far as Su Jinxing knows, due to the awkward position of the function and some negative news, Min Xizhen has begun to shift her focus to the unfinished Red Velvet.

This concept group actually still has a lot of room to explore, but Min Heejin has begun to shift its focus, and it is inevitable that the function that loses Min Heejin's attention will go downhill.

Later, after a series of events occurred, the function officially declined. The members developed independently, and one member passed away.

Thinking of Cui Shirley, Su Jinxing had a headache. He was really unfamiliar with this girl with a distinctive personality. Although they were in the same company, except for Song Qian, the other members of the function Su Jinxing had been in contact with each other for a period of time.

We haven't exchanged a few words, and we haven't been close to each other even at S.M family gatherings.

To be honest, Su Jinxing wanted to help this sister and Kim Jonghyun, both from the perspective of colleagues in the same company and from the perspective of respect for life.

But...

So unfamiliar.

Buzz.

The phone in Su Jinxing's pocket vibrated, and Su Jinxing came back to his senses instantly.

Min Xizhen just finished, and Zhang Yinya got up and took her laptop to the projector to do synchronization.

Su Jinxing took this opportunity to look down.

OK, it’s Cheng Dayong.

Click on the message.

Cheng Dayong: A relative’s kid failed the exam at our school, and then went to Seoul Arts High School, hahahaha~~

Seoul Arts High School?

Su Jinxing raised his eyebrows. Hanlin wanted Seoul Arts High School, which he didn't want. If word got out, the two students would start a scolding war again.

Never underestimate how bored these kids can be.

Su: I understand. Let your brother pay more attention to pretty girls when he has time.

Cheng Dayong:?

Cheng Dayong: You are not satisfied with your golden love, but you still want to hook up with little girls?

Su: Don’t talk nonsense, especially the trainees from other companies who are excellent in vocals and dance.

Su: Okay, let’s have a meeting.

Cheng Dayong:?

Cheng Dayong: Are you, the scout producer, addicted?

Cheng Dayong: Hello!

Su Jinxing muted his cell phone and looked at the screen.

This is what he planned. Most of the girl groups in the circle, especially the fourth-generation groups, are from art schools. Su Jinxing doesn't know how many GFriends are from art schools, but the remaining four must be.

As for art schools, based on their conditions, they are either Seoul Hallim Art High School or Seoul Art High School, just these two.

The first batch of freshmen started school in March this year. Su Jinxing looked back at his home school and the Seoul Arts High School on the way. Maybe he could meet one.

I have no choice but to remember the key information of GFriend, so I can only use stupid methods to find the needle in the haystack.

As I thought about it, the picture on the big screen also changed.

Su Jinxing gathered his thoughts and looked at the picture displayed on the screen.

The pupils suddenly shrank.

"This is a set of preliminary clothing concepts and covers based on existing concepts. Take a look." Min Xizhen nodded on the screen with a laser pointer.

"Red Velvet's debut song has been finalized, and the song "happiness" written by the producer will be used. The follow-up arrangement by Producer Su has been completed, and everyone should have received the complete version."

The debut song "Happiness" was decided at the last formal meeting. Generally speaking, a group will release a single or mini album when it debuts. It is rare for a group to debut directly with a regular album.

Regular albums often represent recent styles, and every regular album is a change in style. Therefore, it is very rare that the style of the regular album is determined when they have just debuted.

After all, although the concept of the combination is determined by the company, it still needs to be tested by the market.

If you are careful, you will find that the styles of many groups are very immature when they first debut, and they become more and more different as they go on.

The purpose of this period of debut is for the company to better understand the market and quickly adjust its style and concept to achieve a role in catering to the market.

Some team members cast their glances at Su Jinxing.

"Happiness" is a song that has been in the music library for a long time. All the producers here have heard it, and Su Jinxing's arrangement complements it and sounds perfect to them.

This perfection does not mean how great the song is, but that the arrangement and the main theme fit perfectly. If you don’t know better, you might think that the composer and arranger of this song are the same person.

The quality of "happiness" is undoubtedly top-notch compared to the songs Su Jinxing uploaded to the company's music library.

Compared with "Stay With Me", "Roar" and other songs that Su Jinxing put in the music library, the quality and musical innovation of this song are much lower.

But high quality doesn’t necessarily mean good. This song is very suitable for Red Velvet’s concept production so far. As a debut song, all the producers here have no objections.

Su Jinxing ignored the looks from the producers and listened carefully to the boss's words.

"The market feedback work is part of the follow-up planning. We will talk about it when the time comes. Regarding Red Velvet, I actually have some ideas about style." Min Xizhen said, taking out a marker and writing on the whiteboard nearby.

Knocked on the whiteboard.

"In my imperfect idea, we can create two conceptual styles, just like the names of Red Velvet. For example, one is called red style, which goes in one direction. The other is called velvet style, which goes in another general direction. After that,

The concepts and styles are different, but generally they can be classified in these two directions, like..."

Su Jinxing's eyes gradually became confused.

It’s only 2013, so it turns out that Red Velvet’s two major styles have already been proposed by Min Hee Jin so early?

This is the core concept of Red Velvet in the future. Whether it is the hit song "Psycho" that can be recorded in the history of kpop, or the super earthly song "Feel My Rhythm", it is essentially the polarization and opposition of the two styles of Red and Velvet.

.

Su Jinxing originally thought that this core concept would at least be born after Jin Yilin, the "1" of the "4+1", joined the team, but who would have thought that it has already been proposed now?

You are the director of Charlotte Bar.

Su Jinxing didn't understand, but was shocked.

From the perspective of a latecomer, every girl group that Min Hee Jin has worked for is famous. Although there is no real top group, there are F(x) and Red Velvet. Can you say that these two are not popular?

There is also a whale, this girl group really has one song that is more popular than anyone else.

To be precise, compared to the first two concept groups, the group Whale truly embodies how outrageous this woman Min Xizhen really is.

Give her a few trainees who meet the standards. No matter who they are, as long as they meet the standards of her concept, she will make a name for you.

Whale's songs are really outstanding, but the popularity of its members is far lower than the songs. Isn't this a kind of...success?

"This concept is just an idea. If you have anything you want to say, you can put it forward," Min Xizhen said.

Su Jinxing looked at the content on the whiteboard, and what he was thinking about was whether he should give it a push and make "psycho" appear in advance.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was not feasible.

A bit of a pushy attitude.

Red Velvet's success is actually intertwined. It is undoubtedly outstanding that Red Velvet has been able to maintain a popularity that fluctuates from the first-tier to the first-tier level after such a long time since their debut.

Every time Red Velvet releases a song, there are rules and intentions to follow. Su Jinxing believes that he doesn't actually need to get too involved in Red Velvet's affairs. This time, his main task is to study.

"Producer Su, do you have anything to say?" Min Xizhen asked by name.

Su Jinxing came to his senses instantly and stood up after hearing the words.

She glanced at the whiteboard next to Min Xizhen, pretending to ponder for a while, and then said: "The director's idea gave me some inspiration, but the concept of this style is still too vague, and I can't capture it. If it can be more perfect, maybe

I can find some inspiration."

The summary is just one sentence, I have nothing to say.

"Sit down." Min Xizhen nodded and motioned to Su Jinxing to cool off.

After Su Jinxing sat down, Min Xizhen didn't look for anyone else, but looked at the trainee director, Minister Sun.

"Minister Sun, please tell me about the selection of Red Velvet."

"Okay." Minister Sun nodded with a smile and stood up.

This is the second time that Minister Sun has attended the meeting of the Red Velvet concept incubation planning group, because before, the board of directors discussed the selection of Red Velvet, and it was not until the last meeting that this power was delegated to the Red Velvet concept incubation planning group.

Moreover, Park Soo-young and Kim Ye-rim are confirmed candidates who will not change.

What surprised Su Jinxing was that he thought Bae Zhuhyun or Son Seungwan were the candidates for Kim Young-min's investment, but he did not expect that the other party chose the younger Kim Ye-rin.

But after thinking about it, Su Jinxing suddenly understood.

From Jin Yilin’s official debut in 2015 until Su Jinxing’s rebirth, this kid never got even one ending shot on the singing stage.

Although the ending scene only appeared later, there are only five members in the group. Even if the popularity is the lowest in the group, there is no ending scene for so many singing performances, right?

Su Jinxing was very confused when he saw this video posted by a Red Velvet fan, and he didn't quite understand it like the Red Velvet fans.

But now, he seems to understand a little bit. (①)

Kim Ye-rim and Park Soo-young are the only Red Velvet candidates confirmed by the board of directors, and the remaining three have delegated their power to the Red Velvet concept incubation planning team.

Of course, this does not mean that the remaining three candidates can be decided by the Red Velvet concept incubation planning team, or they still need to be reported to the board of directors.

"In terms of candidates for Red Velvet, the trainee department recommends Son Seung Wan xi, Kang Seul Gi xi, Bae Joo Hyun xi..." Director Sun said six names in one breath, and then paused.

"Also, Jin Shaoqingxi."

Su Jinxing's expression remained unchanged and he calmly accepted the looks of his colleagues.

You don’t really think Teacher Qing can be selected into Red Velvet, do you?

Excluding the two confirmed maknae, who is better than Son Seung-wan as the lead singer?

Who can surpass Kang Seulgi in terms of overall strength?

On the outside, Bae Joo-hyun put her hands in her pockets and stood there, not knowing what an opponent was.

Teacher Qing's appearance on the waiting list is outrageous.

Minister Sun's kindness somewhat left Su Jinxing speechless, but it was a kindness after all.

Min Xizhen glanced at Su Jinxing, and then said: "Remove Sun Shengwan from the seven candidates, let's discuss the last two places among the six candidates."

No one has an opinion.

Son Seung-wan's vocal skills are there, and no one will love him once he puts on his sunglasses.

"I recommend Seulgi Xi. I think Seulgi Xi has the potential to become Red Velvet's ace." Su Jinxing said.

The concept of ace comes from Krystal Jung Soo-jung of Function, which means a member who performs both vocal and dance duties, has balanced abilities, and is equally outstanding.

Girls' Generation's Seo Joo Hyun actually fits the concept of ace, but the origin comes from Krystal Jung Soo Jung.

However, Xu Zhuxian became the new originator of direct-shooting idols under Su Jinxing's suggestion, and was even nicknamed the queen of direct-shooting.

At this time, Korean entertainment also started the direct-to-video era ahead of schedule.

As the "Father of Direct Photography", Su Jinxing's name is also widely circulated in the industry and has a certain degree of popularity.

The impact of proposing direct photography in advance was far beyond Su Jinxing's imagination.

"Seulgi Xi has been practicing in the company for six years, and her results are in the top three in every assessment. She is indeed very suitable to be the Dinghai Shenzhen of the group."

The candidates proposed by Su Jinxing are very reasonable, and naturally many people agree with them.

Kang Seulgi is one of the trainees in S.M.com that has been practicing for the longest time. Kang Seulgi's assessment scores have been stable in the top three since a long time ago, and she rarely falls out.

It is undoubtedly very appropriate to recommend Kang Seulgi as a member of Red Velvet.

But there will naturally be opponents as well. As Minister Sun and Su Jinxing proposed candidates one after another, other members of the Red Velvet concept incubation planning team also joined the discussion.

As the person who presided over the meeting, Min Xizhen did not participate in it, but listened carefully to the suggestions of each team member.

After discussing for more than ten minutes, Min Xizhen gave Li Chengzhu a look, and Li Chengzhu stood up and clapped his hands.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

"It seems that everyone has their own candidates. In this case, let's count them up and submit them to the council to determine the candidates at the next meeting."

This is the process, start voting one by one.

Naturally, Su Jinxing voted for the same three, Son Seungwan, Bae Zhuhyun, and Kang Seulgi.

Others also filled in the name of Son Seung-wan. As for the other two candidates, they each had their own reasons.

I didn’t write too much about the reasons for recommendation, I simply wrote about the points that fit the concept of Red Velvet. Anyway, the choice will most likely not change.

Red Velvet is the second concept group produced by Min Hee Jin. If you choose her, you will naturally know who is more suitable.

Then there was another discussion on some other matters, and the meeting that started at 3:30 did not end until nearly 7 o'clock.

Su Jinxing did not leave, but was called to the office by Min Xizhen right after the meeting.

"Tell me what you think about the style of Red and Velvet." Min Xizhen took out a bottle of mineral water from the cabinet and put it in front of Su Jinxing and said.

"Thank you, director, I don't have any ideas." Su Jinxing said with a wry smile.

"Okay, your kid's favorite thing is to hide something." Min Xizhen took a sip of water and joked with a smile, "If you don't tell me the truth, I will transfer you back to the production department."

Su Jinxing's face fell and he nodded helplessly.

"Director, actually I only have a little idea, and it's not perfect."

"Tell me and listen." Min Xizhen leaned on the chair and looked at Su Jinxing lazily.

"Well... I think this style can take two opposite directions, just like day and night. Each has its own distinctive characteristics, so that people can see the difference between the two styles at a glance.

, This not only lowers the threshold for appreciation of style concepts, but also saves some publicity difficulties."

Su Jinxing didn't reveal too much, it was still too early, and since Min Xizhen could come up with so many concepts on her own, Su Jinxing didn't need to say too much, as that would just be superfluous. It would be better to give some inspiration tips appropriately.

, it is better to let Min Xizhen improve it by herself.

"Your idea is not bad." Min Xizhen thought for a while, "Is there anything else?"

"No more." Su Jinxing shook his head.

Min Xizhen has no doubt about him. Although this kid likes to hide everything, it doesn't mean that he has hidden everything.

This idea was something she only came up with recently. Even if Su Jinxing and her had a clear understanding of each other, she wouldn't have perfected it as soon as she proposed it.

"How's Taeyeon's solo song going?" Min Hee Jin asked.

"Well, recently I asked Taeyeon to write the lyrics herself, and I will revise them later," Su Jinxing said.

"Don't worry, Taeyeon won't make a solo debut in a short time." Min Hee Jin said.

"The company has other arrangements for SNSD?" Su Jinxing asked curiously.

"Yes, but it's just a prototype. What, you want to participate too?"

"Forget it." Su Jinxing shook his head. Interfering in everything would only make the labels on him blurred. He just had to stick to the existing plan.

"The concept of Red Velvet is almost complete, and the number of meetings will gradually decrease. During this period, you should worry less about the company's affairs and focus more on your studies." Min Xizhen, like an elder, warned Su Jinxing.

.

"The college entrance examination is in eight months, right?"

Su Jinxing nodded.

"I'm going to study at a training institution in a while, and I'm a little nervous. Thanks to the director for helping me," Su Jinxing said with a smile.

"Haha, take the exam well. Being able to pass the exam is the best thank you to me." Min Xizhen waved her hand and said.

"Yes." Su Jinxing said with a smile, his expression calm, as if he was stating an established fact.

"I like how you look confident of winning." Min Xizhen smiled, "Okay, it's getting late, you can go back."

Su Jinxing nodded. He would see Uncle Yin and Mrs. Jin tomorrow, so he had to go to bed early tonight.

"Okay, come on over."

"Goodbye, director." Su Jinxing stood up, bowed, and left the office.

After Su Jinxing left, Min Xizhen picked up the phone.

"Look at these trainees who are in the company and call them to my office. Bae Joo Hyun, Son Seung Wan, Kim Ye Rin, Jeon So Yeon, Kim So Kyung, and Jung Ye Rin."

Putting down the landline phone, Min Xizhen turned on the sleeping computer, logged into the company's music library, searched for "Su", and more than twenty songs came into view.

Min Xizhen put her left hand on the desk, put her fingers to her lips, and held the mouse in her right hand, swiping back and forth on the latest uploads and more than ten songs registered by the Music Association.

"The styles are completely different, what kind of concept will it be?"

"This kid has wild ideas. If it were him, what would he do?"

Min Xizhen tried to put herself into Su Jinxing's thinking to view these dozen songs.

"With different styles...can't they be put on the same album? If they are all put on one album..." Min Xizhen's eyes lit up.

This was conceptual territory she had never imagined.

Style sets the tone, but if the styles are different, but these very different but somewhat similar songs are connected through concepts and put into the same album, what kind of waves will such an album cause when it enters the market?

The more he thought about it, the brighter Min Xizhen's eyes became.

Ring ring ring.

The ringing of the phone interrupted Min Xizhen's thoughts, and she reached out to answer the phone.

"Director, only Sun Shengwanxi is in the company."

"Bring her here."

Putting down the phone, Min Xizhen continued to watch the song and think deeply.

After a while, a weak knock on the door sounded.

"Please come in."

Sun Shengwan's fleshy figure appeared in front of Min Xizhen.

"Sit down, there is water here." Min Xizhen said, pointing to the mineral water given to Su Jinxing, who did not open it or take it away.

"Thank you, director!" Sun Shengwan sat down nervously, not knowing what Min Xizhen wanted to do with her.

"I called you here this time to understand some situations. I hope you can answer truthfully. Our conversation tonight will not be known to a third person." Min Xizhen said with a slight smile.

"Guilty." When she said this, Sun Shengwan became even more nervous.

What makes it so mysterious?

"About Su Jinxing, Team Leader Su, you should be familiar with it."

Sun Shengwan's heart skipped a beat, and what instantly came to his mind was the scene when he "knocked down" Su Jinxing at the ski resort that day.

"Inside……"

Not knowing what Director Min wanted to do, Son Shengwan could only bite the bullet and comply.

"At the beginning of the month, I heard that many of you went to Seoul Plaza together."

"Inside……"

"Did Team Leader Su invite you?"

Sun Sheng hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"It was Team Leader Su who asked Soyeon xi to invite us, saying he wanted to thank us for taking care of Soyeon xi."

"Isn't it because of Bae Zhuhyun or Jin Shaoqing?"

This question was quite straightforward. As long as Sun Shengwan was not a fool, he would have understood what Min Xizhen meant.

"No, Director!"

Min Xizhen looked at Son Seungwan in surprise who suddenly had the courage to look at her.

"Joohyun Unnie is practicing very seriously. As a trainee, Joohyun Unnie will not fall in love!"

"What about Jin Shaoqing?" Min Xizhen asked with a smile.

Sun Sheng finished the card.

Jin Shaoqing...

Anyone can tell that these sisters have thoughts about Team Leader Su.

"Shao Qingxi... Shao Qingxi is the same!" Sun Shengwan said solemnly.

The smile on Min Xizhen's face did not change.

"I understand. It seems that Team Leader Su is really taking good care of the company's trainees. He is doing a good job."

Sun Shengwan lowered his head again and said nothing.

"Okay, you go back first. Remember the company's ban, especially you guys." Min Xizhen reminded.

Son Seungwan thought he was warning himself, so he quickly stood up, bowed, and left Min Xizhen's office as if running for his life.

"It seems that Pei Zhuxuanxi is just a shield, and the real purpose is Jin Shaoqingxi?" Min Xizhen was confused.

What does this kid want to do?

From the time Min Xizhen started paying attention to Su Jinxing until now, he has always done things for a purpose. No matter what he does, he always considers his own interests. This guy is simply a born businessman.

He would not let Quan Soyeon invite these girls to play for no reason, but what is special about these girls?

Bae Joo-hyun, Son Seung-wan, and Kim Ye-rim are all waiting to debut, which can be understood as early investment.

Jeon So Yeon seems to have good creative talent, which is understandable.

But Jin Shaoqing and Zheng Yilin...

Even though Su Jinxing knew that the company was about to launch Red Velvet, he still wanted to attract them to the company, and even did so even if he owed favors.

Are there any qualities in these two girls that she has not noticed?

Min Xizhen is now very curious and wants to know why Su Jinxing did this.

"Mysterious." He muttered.

This time she went to Sun Shengwan and others to find out more about Su Jinxing's intentions. If it was really a relationship, she didn't bother to care.

Why did she ask so many questions when her subordinates were in love? Even if Su Jinxing and Kim Taeyeon were in love, she would... well, she still had to ask about this.

In short, if it was Su Jinxing's relationship problem, Min Xizhen would not care about it at all. What really concerned her was what Su Jinxing said last time.

This guy vaguely mentioned that Jin Shaoqing and Zheng Yilin were involved in the girl group.

Girl group?

This question has always been hidden in Min Xizhen's heart.

Min Xizhen sometimes feels like she can't see through this young and mature subordinate. His thinking is too out-of-the-box, and sometimes he can accurately capture the market's selling points.

Direct shooting is the best example.

His sensitivity to market hot spots is so high that even Min Hee-jin, a front-line art director in the Korean Wave, was surprised.

This is one of the reasons why Min Xizhen is willing to train Su Jinxing.

Moreover, although the true purpose of the things Su Jinxing did was unknown, everything he showed had a core purpose that was not obvious but could be noticed with a little attention: promotion.

He wants to go up.

He is a foreigner, but he has the ambition to move up in the company.

Min Xizhen is not disgusted with this. For her, it doesn't matter which country her subordinates are from. As long as they have outstanding abilities and are good people, it is enough.

However, it's not enough for her to think so.

He stood up from the chair and stretched.

"Take your time and see how many more surprises this kid can bring me." Min Xizhen said to herself with a smile.

…

Su Jinxing came out of Min Xizhen's office and took the elevator all the way down.

There are still some employees working overtime in the company after seven o'clock, and it is not even the night shift time at this time.

Take the elevator to the parking lot and get on your "elderly" mobility scooter.

Sitting in the driver's seat, he put his schoolbag on the passenger's side, opened the zipper, and took out his notebook. Turning on the car lights, Su Jinxing looked at the notebook and recalled the contents of this afternoon's meeting.

There was a lot of content in the afternoon meeting, and there was also a lot of content in Su Jin’s travel notes, including a lot of knowledge about the positioning of the girl group.

What Su Jinxing needs to do now is to turn this knowledge into his own.

"GFriend... Choi Yoona's music skills are very strong. After joining the company, she can strengthen this aspect. Huang Eunbi is also very good at dancing and has her own style. She can try to integrate into S.M's style. After that..."

The benefits of a large company are reflected in all aspects. Choi Yoona's vocal skills are definitely not bad. In the 2016 stage "The World Reunion" in which Twice, Red Velvet, ioi, and GFriend collaborated, Kim Taeyeon was not the one to hold the high C position.

The winner is Cui Yuna.

When Choi Yuna is brought back to the company, S.M's singing style will be more academic, a scientific style that protects the voice the most and maximizes its own advantages. By then, GFriend's vocalist will only be stronger than the original one.

With such a great vocalist at hand, I didn’t panic at all.

There is no need to go into too much detail about SinB Hwang Eun-bi's dancing skills, which are the dancing abilities that can attract attention in GFriend's six-in-one sword dance.

The others are not as outstanding as these two, their gates are also very balanced, and their strength is very good.

But Jin Shaoqing...

The role of rap is a bit outrageous.

"Actor?" Su Jinxing thought of the development route planned for Jin Shaoqing.

Choi Yoona sings, Hwang Eunbi dances, and Eunha Jung Eunbi is in other directions. Umji has a maknae, Yelin is the facade, and Teacher Qing...

It seems like the location is really awkward.

"Let's talk about it later." Su Jinxing circled Jin Shaoqing's name and looked at Cui Yuna who wrote it at the front.

The lead singer is the absolute core.

S.M values ​​the main vocalist more than any other company, and may even delay the group's debut just to wait for a big vocalist.

Choi Yuna is obviously a promising singer.

Should not be missed.

"Where should I go to find her?" Su Jinxing frowned and thought.

The plan is ready, where can Cui Yuna get it?

"I have a headache." Su Jinxing leaned on the back of his chair and whined.

GFriend has only found two so far, and there is still no news about the remaining four. There are less than two years left before Su Jinxing's GFriend debut plan set for himself, and he has not even completed the first step of collecting Dragon Balls.

Who can I talk to to reason with this?

There are still many things to be busy with in the follow-up. The longer the first step is delayed, the more nervous the time will be later. Just thinking about it makes me very nervous.

"Come on, let's go back first. There will be big events tomorrow."

Su Jinxing put away his notebook and started the car to go back to school.

①: I made this up. I just found a reason that I think is reasonable for Yeli to never have an ending scene. I can just put it together.
