My Entertainment Circle

"IOI" officially started recording in mid-December, but at the time of recording, the program was still kept secret from the outside world. Only on the day when the program is officially broadcast, the voting mechanism and the "IOI" website will be officially opened. For the trainees who came to participate in the recording today, the brokerage company arranged for them to dress uniformly and arranged for them to go to a beauty salon to receive makeup. Trainees in small companies put on their own makeup and wear their own clothes.

The recording of the show officially started with the entrance of trainees from the once brilliant agency ‘DSP’. DSP used to be a large agency that owned Crystal Boys, Lee Hyori, Fin.k.l and later Kara. It was only later that the agency was exposed to the slave contract, and it has plummeted ever since. Because the company's 'credibility' has been deeply damaged, and the company's management has problems, after Kara, the company has no idol group that it can use.

At this time, the two trainees from ‘DSP’ came in and were still wearing the clothes that Kara wore when she was singing on the stage. Kara was also very popular in Japan with their 'butt dance', even more popular than Girls' Generation. However, many years have passed since Kara’s era, and now Kara only exists in the memories of people like Zhang Ping’an who started paying attention to Korean entertainment around 2010, right?

Standing in the general control room, Zhang Ping'an smiled and said to the executive director beside him: "Kara, I haven't heard from them for a long time. When I was in Tokyo, I saw Kara, Girls' Generation, bringing neat knives. Group dance made me fall in love with the Korean entertainment industry, so I moved to South Korea.”

The executive director of "Little Kara" looked at the marvelous scene layout in the camera and said with a smile: "Oh, PD Zhang, haven't you done any related work in Japan before?"

Zhang Pingan shook his head and said: "I have never done any specific related work in Japan. I just keep accumulating some relevant knowledge and ideas every day. Because Japanese variety shows are really good at making tricks and comedies, I often While watching the show, I thought about how I could change it to be more funny if I did it. When I had ideas, I recorded them... and more and more strange ideas kept accumulating, so I started to do it myself. I tried everything from market research to program production. The first program I produced, "Living Alone," was a variety show based on the psychology of fans."

Listening to Zhang Pingan's words, the executive PD nodded and said: "I have also watched this show. It is very suitable for the fan market."

Programs produced generally face two markets: a program specially produced for fans, targeting the fan market, such as a weekly song competition. The other is a regular variety show that uses comedy to add joy to people. And Zhang Ping'an produced the program "Living Alone" completely targeting the fan market. In the show, celebrities and idols from all walks of life have disclosed their private homes and private lives. This is what fans are most willing to know about, so the ratings of the show have been very good so far.

.......

As trainees from one company arrived at the scene, the trainees sitting at the scene began to ask each other about their ages. Some older trainees heard that there was someone who was fifteen years old sitting at the scene? His eyes widened instantly. The atmosphere at the scene gradually became lively. When the agency was announced on the big screen, the children present began to marvel. The beauty of the trainees who came in was also talked about by everyone.

The children sitting at the scene also began to look at each other at the trainees from the large brokerage companies. Although the show was about overall strength,

and audience voting choices. But when those very small brokerage companies, or brokerage companies that they have never even heard of, appear, everyone is full of doubts.

How should I put this? It feels like "fighting for daddy". Whoever's father has a strong enough backing in the industry will naturally receive more attention.

At this time, the trainees who came in changed. It should be said that 'they' can no longer be described as trainees, because they are all people who have already debuted. MBK is the member of the girl group of Tara Company. They are in DIA, a newcomer who debuted this year. Kim Kwang Soo has created them with great care, and even Tara’s fans in China affectionately call them ‘little junior sisters’. But... they didn't receive much attention after their debut.

So this time "IOI" is their best chance to get back on track, plus MBK's relationship with... is a subsidiary company. So they will definitely get a lot of care, but Zhang Pingan doesn't think it matters.

When 'DIA' entered the scene, the trainees sitting on the stage all said, "Hey, DIA, didn't they debut? Why are they here to participate in this?"

When some sounds from the scene were transmitted to the main control room, Zhang Pingan stood in front of the monitor and held the walkie-talkie indifferently and said: "Unit 3, give a close-up of the girl in the middle."

The person Zhang Ping'an gave a close-up to was Zheng Caiyan, who will also gain attention for her innocent appearance in the future. While Zhang Pingan looked at Zheng Caiyan, who looked pretty good, through the monitor of Unit 3, the executive PD sitting next to her was looking at Zhang Pingan's eyes.

Because at the beginning Zhang Pingan said that he would work with the trainees of the agency to produce the program, but 'DIA' was no longer a trainee. In fact, it was Kim Kwang Soo who forced himself in. After all, he is very close to her. This confused girl group has to find a way to save it, right?

After giving the close-up, Zhang Ping'an put down his cell phone and turned on the intercom, and started filming normally as they chose their positions. Zhang Pingan said: "MBK, is it your subsidiary?"

"It was true before, but not now. After changing the name of the agency, Kim Kwang Soo gave the company a sum of money and left with the artist contract. Although he said he left, the friendship for many years is still there."

Formerly ‘CCM’ and now MBK, with the change of company name he is now completely independent. As for Tara and the DIA brought by Jin Guangzhu, they were all bought out from here, so Jin Guangzhu himself also took out a lot of loans. Although Tara's activities in China have been relatively smooth, her activities in China have to be shared by the agency there.

After deducting the dues from Huaxia Company and Tara members, the funds returned from Tara alone can only support the expenses of CCM Company. So for me, it would not be a loss to sell everything in CCM to Kim Kwang Soo. After all, Tara really can’t make money in Korea.

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Well, Jin Guangzhu is just a pig head, a good hand of cards... Forget it, I won't say more about Tara, I just feel a bit sorry. Fortunately, the members are treated well in China , and recently joined a brokerage company in China.”

But Zhang Ping'an didn't finish what he said, because the good time left for them was not long, and Huaxia and the others couldn't stay too long.

At the studio, the trainees came in one after another, and there was only one empty seat left. When the company's logo of 'JYP' was displayed on the big screen, the trainees present all made a sound of exclamation, because it represents one of the three major agencies in South Korea. No one thought that this large planning agency would also send trainees to participate in the selection.

As the logo showed Jeon Somi walking in, many people looked at her and said, "Somi from "Sixteen" is really beautiful." "Artist, artist, she is a complete artist!"

With the debut of 'Twice', Akiya, who had participated in the selection, became well known to everyone, at least they knew that there was such a mixed-race person.

In fact, Somi applied to participate in "IOI" on her own initiative. Park Jin Young has always felt that Jeon Somi is a child worth cultivating, but she was too young when she debuted in "Rabbit Gas", 15 years old. And it was still a Korean algorithm. According to the actual age algorithm, she was only 14 years old at the time.

Therefore, Park Jin Young feels that Jeon So Mi is still young and can practice for a few more years before debuting, so that she can get more study time and make full preparations before debuting. But Jeon Somi felt that she was ready to debut, but at this time, it seemed as if the company was deliberately holding her back and not letting her debut. Didn't she just sign up to participate in "IOI" this time?

After she signed up, she told the company that she wanted to participate in the "IOI" selection. Park Jin Young can only let her participate. Anyway, the activities of this group have a certain number of years. She can also accumulate experience by successfully debuting in this group. Who knew that after the group disbanded, Jeon Somi returned to the company, and Park Jin Young still asked her to continue practicing. Jeon Somi, who was a little reluctant to continue practicing, switched to other companies. Of course, this is all a story later.

As Jeon Somi entered the stage, the mentors also came in one after another... After the host announced the rules that all selections will be determined by national votes, the strength test began on the site.

Testing one group after another is quite time consuming. Test for one hour, then rest for ten minutes.

During the first break in filming, Zhang Pingan came to the lobby with coffee. When the show team's chief PD Zhang Pingan appeared, not only the trainees but also the 'teachers' sitting on the judges' bench also stood up.

Zhang Pingan handed the coffee to the instructor: "Thank you for your hard work. The training of the children will be a lot more troublesome for everyone."

Park Jiaxi smiled and said: "PD Zhang, don't say that. When we receive this salary, isn't it the job we should do well?"

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "I was watching the evaluation of the 'Pledis' trainees in the studio just now. It is obvious that there are traces of 'A.S.'"

Park Jiaxi smiled and said: "Hahaha, those of us from 'Pledis' can recognize that feeling at a glance."

Zhang Pingan looked at the instructors and asked, "How do you feel overall?"

The dance teacher said: "It can only be said that the good and the bad are mixed! The children still have a long way to go in the future, and they must practice more. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to go on stage for the first time."
