I want to be a chaebol - Chapter 216 It has to be Lee Soon Kyu
In fact, Lee Soo Man originally planned to name Seo Joo Hyun’s nine-member group Super Girls, in line with SM Entertainment’s boy group Super Junior, which will debut next year. However, Song Yi directly rejected Lee Soo Man’s proposal and named the group Girls’ Generation.
This was also the time when all members of Girls’ Generation appeared in front of Song Yi, and they also performed their joint dance in front of Song Yi.
Perhaps because Kim Taeyeon and Huang Miying joined later, their dance moves are still a bit unfamiliar.
It is currently impossible for SM Entertainment to produce songs for them who have not debuted yet, so the songs they performed were songs by SM Entertainment girl groups S.E.S and Fin.K.L.
After they started singing, Song Yi could tell the difference in their singing skills. Kim Taeyeon’s voice was highly recognizable, her tone was good, and her singing skills were very stable. Jessica’s singing skills are also very solid. I don’t know why her performance in “Sister Riding the Wind and Waves” was mediocre.
Although Kim Taeyeon will also be a well-known female solo singer in Korea in the future, there is still a big gap between her and IU.
In fact, the members of Girls’ Generation all lack a thick voice. Even during the TTS subunit period of Seo Joo Hyun, Kim Taeyeon and Hwang Mi Young, Kim Taeyeon still had some difficulty singing high notes. When the volume is turned up, you can still hear that she is trying to hold her breath.
Of course, due to the fierce competition in the Korean entertainment market, all idol groups have to undergo high-intensity commercial performances. If they keep singing high notes like this, it will cause great damage to their voices. Later, Kim Taeyeon’s solo album was more of a change in technique, and she never transitioned to the direction of powerful singers like IU and Aliee. After all, she needed to continue her career longer to continue making money for SM Entertainment.
Song Yi looked at the tall Lee Yeon-hee. At 1.72 meters, she was taller than Cui Xiuying. It would be a waste to have two frontmen, Lee Yeon-hee and Im Yoon-ah, in a group. Moreover, Lee Yeon Hee already has experience in starring in TV dramas. It would be a waste to train him purely as an idol.
However, Lee Soon Kyu’s father’s agency has not gone bankrupt yet, and she now wants to debut under the name of the group “TINTOP”. If he poached Lee Soon Kyu now and asked Lee Soon Kyu to replace Lee Yeon Hee, whether the other members of Girls’ Generation can accept Lee Soon Kyu is another matter. After all, no matter where they are, the airborne faction is always not very popular.
After the Girls’ Generation members finished their performance, Song Yi was still thinking about whether it was the right decision to replace Lee Soon-kyu with Lee Yeon-hee. Is Girls’ Generation without Lee Soon-gyu still Girls’ Generation? After all, Lee Soon Kyu is the comedian in the team, and although she is not tall, her height when lying down is very prominent. In “Lion Heart”, Lee Soon Kyu wore a red swimsuit, which was extremely impressive.
At this time, Song Yi signaled Zhuo Yingjun to leave Li Yongxi behind and let the other members leave first. He wanted to ask Li Yongxi’s personal opinion.
Jung Soo-yeon and Kim Hyo-yeon looked at Li Yeon-hee with worried expressions. They didn’t know why Song Yi left Li Yeon-hee alone. They had heard about the scandal between Sister Boa and SM executives before.
Choi Sun Hee is very familiar with Seo Joo Hyun’s mother Yoo Hye Young, and Jung Soo Yeon’s mother Lee Jung Sook. When she saw Jessica’s expression, she understood immediately.
She called Xu Zhuxian and said, “Zhuxian, your mother has something to do at school later and doesn’t have time to pick you up. You can take our car later and go back together in the evening.”
Xu Zhuxian didn’t understand why Cui Shanji said this specifically. She stood still, bent down and thanked, “Thank you, Director Cui, then I will wait for you in the dormitory.”
Jung Soo-yeon and Kim Hyo-yeon relaxed immediately when they heard what Choi Sun-hee said. Since Cui Shanji wants to send Xu Zhuxian home, Song Yi leaves Li Yeonxi and naturally has no time to do something bad. After all, Chairman Song of the SA Foundation does not have a good reputation when it comes to women.
Jiang Souna, who had been standing behind Song Yi, shook her head in amusement. Of course she guessed what Jessica Jung and Kim Hyo Yeon were thinking. Girls are indeed relatively precocious, and girls as young as fifteen or sixteen already know the unspoken rules.
When Jin Yingmin saw that Song Yi wanted to discuss matters with Li Yeonxi alone, they immediately said that they would take Cui Shanji to inspect the work of other departments. Only Song Yi, Jiang Xiuna and Li Yeonxi were left in the entire dance classroom.
Song Yi sat down and motioned for Li Xianxi to sit down. Li Yianxi didn’t know what Song Yi wanted to see her for, so she felt a little uneasy. Her legs were stretched straight, her back straight, and she didn’t dare to lean on the seat.
“Relax, let’s just chat between friends today. This also involves my future plans for Girls’ Generation.” Song Yi spoke to comfort Li Zhenxi.
Li Yanxi looked at Jiang Xiuna next to Song Yi and felt inexplicably relieved. If Song Yi stayed alone with her in an office, she would worry about whether Song Yi had thoughts about her.
Unlike other members of Girls’ Generation, Lee Yeon Hee’s best friend in SM Entertainment is Sister Boa, and the two of them play well together. She had heard rumors that Sister Boa lost her virginity to a certain SM Entertainment executive before. She did not dare to ask Sister Boa, but she saw the look of Sister Boa after she cried until her eyes were red and swollen.
She is already sixteen years old this year, and her body is fully mature. Her figure is even more outstanding than that of Sister Boa, who is eighteen years old.
In addition to members of TVXQ and Super Junior, many senior executives of SM Entertainment have also expressed vague affection for her.
But everyone knows that Girls’ Generation is the girl group Song Yi pays most attention to. After all, SNSD’s maknae Seo Joo Hyun knew Song Yi before joining SM Entertainment. Without Song Yi’s relationship, Xu Zhuxian would not have entered SM Entertainment as a trainee.
The dual identity of a member of SNSD and a teammate of Seo Joo Hyun has protected Lee Yeon Hee well and blocked the eyes of men from SM Entertainment who covet her beauty. But Li Xianxi also considered a question. If Song Yi wanted to get her, what should she do?
“Yun Xi, let me ask you a question. If you had to choose between an idol and an actor, would you rather be an actor or an idol?” Song Yi asked.
Li Xianxi was slightly stunned. What kind of problem is this? As we all know, the status of actors is much higher than that of idols. Even if TVXQ becomes popular throughout Asia, it cannot compare to Jun Ji-hyun’s status in the industry.
Jiang Souna said to Lee Yeon Hee: “There are no SM Entertainment executives here, so just tell the truth.”
“But as soon as I entered the company, wasn’t it just a training ground for idols? SM Entertainment didn’t have any good actors. If it hadn’t been acquired by SA Group, SM Entertainment wouldn’t have many connections in the film and television industry.” Li Yeonxi hesitated.
“The company has company arrangements, so you don’t need to worry about them now. Just express your thoughts.” Song Yi said.
Li Yongxi understood. Maybe she had another possibility besides being an idol? When she thought of Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo, Son Ye-jin and Go Hyun-jung under SA, her little heart couldn’t help but beat.
“I want to be an actor more than an idol.” Lee Yeon Hee answered affirmatively.
“Even if you give up all these years of hard training and teammates who have been with you day and night, you still want to become an actor?” Song Yi continued to ask.
When Li Yeonxi heard Song Yi’s question, he hesitated again. Now that Girls’ Generation has successfully formed a group, they only need to train together for two more years before they can debut like TVXQ.
If she gives up now, what will Jessica and Kim Hyoyeon do? They joined SM Entertainment in 2000, and even Seo Joo Hyun and Lim Yoon Ah went through two years of rigorous training at SM Entertainment.
Song Yi smiled, “The fact that you are hesitating now shows that you care about the other girls in the team and don’t want their hard work to go to waste. I’m very pleased about this.”
“How can I put it, I have a characteristic, either I don’t do something, or I have to do my best if I do it. I gave the name of the group Girls’ Generation, and my goal is to make Girls’ Generation a leading brand in Korea and even Asia. No. 1 girl group.”
“The revenue and profits that Girls’ Generation has created for SM Entertainment will not be inferior to those of popular boy groups such as TVXQ and Super Junior. I want every member of Girls’ Generation’s name to be known throughout Asia.” Song Yi said without any scruples. his goal.
Li Xianxi was not surprised at all when he heard Song Yi say this. The man in front of me has led SA Group to become one of the top ten financial groups in South Korea in just a few years. The wealth myth he created is more legendary than Japan’s richest man Masayoshi Son.
Song Yi said to Li Yongxi: “If you want to be an actor, I can give you a chance.”
“KBS will have a historical drama in November called “Poseidon”. It tells the story of the sea king Zhang Bogao who opened up a sea route and built Qinghae Town into the center of East Asian trade.”
“SA Agency got a role to play the role of the heroine Zhenhua in her childhood. You have also taken acting courses at SM Entertainment before. This role is not difficult and is quite exciting. If you want to be an actor, I can You arrange to join the crew.”
“In addition to this TV series, SA Pictures will also create a love movie “My Little Bride” for Moon Geun Young. This movie also has a second female role, and you can play Moon Geun Young’s good friend in the movie.” Song Yi go on.
When Li Yianxi heard what Song Yi said, she was overjoyed. She didn’t expect that Song Yi valued her so much and immediately prepared a TV series and movie for her. Although they are both female second roles, as long as she has these two works, she has established a firm foothold in the film and television industry.
“But let me tell you the truth, these are the only resources I give you. If you want to continue to be an actor in the future, you can only rely on your own efforts.”
“SA has signed so many actors, but not everyone has the chance to become Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye-kyo, Son Ye-jin and Ko Hyun-jung, do you understand?”
Jun Ji-hyun starred in “My Naughty Girlfriend” and won the Daejong Award for Best Actress in one fell swoop. Son Ye-jin starred in “If Love Has a Will” and won the Daejong Award for Best New Actress and the Baeksang Arts Awards for Best New Actress.
ABS TV’s “Queen Seondeok” has not yet finished, and the media has already confirmed that Ko Hyun Jung will definitely win the Best Actress in a TV Series award at next year’s Baeksang Arts Awards for her wonderful performance in this TV series.
Although other Korean actors are envious of Jun Ji-hyun’s resources, after all, it has become a consensus in the Korean film and television industry that the films produced by SA Pictures must be high-quality. Even “The Crown Prince’s First Love” starring Cha Tae-hyun and Sung Yu-ri was well received. Although Sung Yu-ri’s acting skills were average, the script of this TV series was excellent and covered up Sung Yu-ri’s shortcomings.
However, Song Yi did not hide it, “Sung Yuri also joined the SA agency very early, and it was only this year that she waited for her first TV series with a female protagonist. Don’t look at “The Crown Prince’s First Love”, this drama has good ratings, other TV drama directors will not Maybe she will continue to be invited to play the female lead. So, it depends on you whether you become Jun Ji-hyun or Sung Yuri. Whether it is a mule or a horse, you will only know if you take it out for a walk. Do you understand what I mean?”
Li Xianxi understood what Song Yi meant. Although Song Yi supported her to become an actor, whether she can become popular depends on herself. Although she is very beautiful, there is no one in the acting industry who is not beautiful.
If she stays in Girls’ Generation, relying on the resources of SA Foundation and SM Entertainment, she will at least become a member of Asia’s first-tier girl group Girls’ Generation. And judging from her appearance, she is at least in the top three in Girls’ Generation, with considerable fame and income.
If she leaves Girls’ Generation, if she fails to make any achievements in the acting industry, she may become a tepid second-tier actress like Sung Yuri.
Li Yongxi thought about it for a long time, but neither Song Yi nor Jiang Xiuna urged her. After all, this was an important decision.
She finally made up her mind, “President, if I leave Girls’ Generation, will it affect Soo-yeon and the others?”
Song Yi shook his head, “You don’t have to worry about this, Yin Xi. You have to learn to never take yourself too seriously. The earth will continue to rotate no matter who you leave. Even if you leave Girls’ Generation, the company will find a suitable replacement for you.” of.”
Li Yongxi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what Song Yi said, “President, then I want to give it a try on the crew of “Poseidon”.”
When Song Yi heard what Li Yongxi said, Li Yongxi made the decision for him. Maybe SNSD fans don’t agree with Lee Soon Kyu being replaced by Lee Yeon Hee.
“You are now the temporary captain of Girls’ Generation. You cannot leave the team now. In these three months, I will try my best to find a suitable member to replace you. After Jessica succeeds you as the captain of SNSD, the company will issue an announcement announcing your official departure. When I was a girl, I became a full-time actor.” Song Yi made the final decision.
When Li Yeonxi left the room, Jiang Xiuna couldn’t help but ask Song Yi, “President, are you really confident that you can find a candidate for Li Yeonxi within three months?”
Song Yi has decided to dig out Lee Soon Kyu in advance, although Lee Soo Young, the father of Lee Soon Kyu in the original time and space, had to wait until 2007 before the agency went bankrupt. However, the SA consortium can acquire Lee Soo Young’s agency in advance for Lee Soon Kyu.
Cui Shanji also happened to inspect the entire SM Entertainment at this time. She also picked up Xu Zhuxian from the SM dormitory, and Song Yi happened to drop Xu Zhuxian off on the way home.
Before leaving SM Entertainment, Song Yi couldn’t help asking Lee Soo Man about Lee Soon Kyu. “Production Lee, apart from Lee Sung-soo, do any of your brothers and sisters have companies in the entertainment industry?”
Li Xiuman was slightly stunned. He thought Song Yi suspected that he was embezzling SM Entertainment’s property through a related company opened by his relatives.
He thought for a while, “My brother Li Suying is still running an entertainment company called Star World. This company also launched a girl group Sugar, which is developing well.”
Song Yi touched his chin, Star World? Lee Soo Man named the company Star Museum, which literally means Star Museum.
Lee Soo Young calls the entertainment company Star World, which translates to Star World. This Lee Soo Young is obviously planning to compete with her younger brother Lee Soo Man’s SM Entertainment.
Li Suying comes from a wealthy family and was previously engaged in the oil business in Los Angeles, California. Later, the Gulf War broke out, and Lee Soo-young returned to South Korea with his family. Later, Lee Soo-young opened an entertainment company like his younger brother Lee Soo-man. SM Entertainment launched the girl group S.E.S, and SW Entertainment launched the first-generation girl group Sugar.
Song Yi continued to ask, “Excuse me, Producer Li, do you have a niece named Li Shungui?”
When Li Xiuman heard Song Yi ask this, he was a little confused, “Lee Soonkyu? As far as I know, I don’t seem to have a niece named Lee Soonkyu.”
“Although my brother has three daughters, none of them are named this. President, did you hear correctly?” Li Xiuman continued to ask.
Song Yi was also confused now. Li Xiuman didn’t have a niece named Li Soon Kyu? In the information introduction of Girls’ Generation, Lee Soon Kyu has always been introduced as Lee Soo Man’s niece. And Lee Soon Kyu admitted this in the variety show, otherwise why would Lee Soon Kyu have the nickname “President Lee”. Because fans of Girls’ Generation often joke that Lee Soon Kyu will be the second generation chaebol who will inherit SM Entertainment in the future.
Song Yi plans to take some time to visit Star World in a few days, since Lee Soon Kyu is a trainee in his father’s agency. Then Song Yi should be able to find Sunny from Girls’ Generation if he goes to Star World.
“It’s nothing, maybe I remembered it wrong.” Song Yi did not explain.
“By the way, Production Li. There are two things I want to tell you about Girls’ Generation in advance.”
“In order to increase the exposure of Super Junior and Girls’ Generation, I am planning to have Kim Taeyeon and Jessica Jung become the hosts of the ABS TV music program ‘The Sound’.”
“The two of them will not be guest MCs at the same time. Kim Taeyeon or Jessica Jung will host with Super Junior members. Lee Teuk and Kim Heechul from Super Junior are more suitable to be MCs. I will let ABS TV station inform SM about the specific time of the appearance. Entertainment.” Song Yi said.
“In addition to this, Lee Yeon-hee has been confirmed to star in the KBS TV series “Cape”. Lee Yeon-hee is currently working as an actor and an idol at the same time. The company remembers to reduce some of her team training time.”
“In addition to taking acting courses from SM Entertainment, Lee Yeon-hee will also go to the SA Group building to receive professional acting courses. Lee Yeon-hee will make an appointment with her actor agent at the SA agency. In the future, if SM Entertainment artists appear in movies or TV series, Actor management appointments are all placed with the SA agency.” Song Yi said.
When Li Xiuman heard what Song Yi said, his expression was a little bitter. SM Entertainment’s stock price has soared this year, and its revenue has also reached a new level. SM Entertainment is preparing to expand its business into actor management. He is already in contact with Jang Dong Gun’s AM Entertainment company.
If SM Entertainment successfully acquires AM Entertainment, AM Entertainment will be renamed SM Cu0026C and officially become a subsidiary of SM Entertainment, which will be used to sign film and television actors in the entertainment industry. Song Yi’s words ruined Li Xiuman’s wishful thinking.
After much consideration, I still felt that Lee Soon Kyu was more suitable, so Girls’ Generation decided to keep Lee Soon Kyu. In the same way, Tara will also keep Quan Baolan, but Liu Huaying will definitely not stay at Tara!
