Chapter 9 Butterfly Dream After the soup and rice were served, Jin Shaoqing only took a few bites and then reluctantly put down the spoon. It can be seen that she is still quite self-disciplined. Even though she maintains a good figure, she still strictly controls her diet. As an artist, Jin Shiming also only dabbled in it briefly, leaving Suzuki Taichi alone to eat. "Shaoqing, I'm leaving DSP." Jin Shiming said. "Then it should be difficult to see Oppa again in the future, right?" Jin Shaoqing was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes, staring at the table in a daze. However, she quickly cheered up and smiled sweetly at Jin Shiming: "Oppa, I believe that no matter where you go, you will definitely get better and better!" Of course Jin Shaoqing wanted Jin Shiming to stay, but she couldn't be so selfish. Even from the perspective of a trainee, she feels that Jin Shiming will have more room to display his talents after leaving DSP. "Thank you for your good words. I also hope that my dreams can come true after I go out and start my own business this time." Jin Shiming replied. "Oppa, do you want to start your own company? Well, if it's Oppa's turn, there will be no problem!" Jin Shaoqing was a little surprised at first, then nodded heavily.
"You really have a mysterious trust in me!" Jin Shiming smiled and asked in a serious tone, "Shao Qing, do you want to come to my new company?" "Me? Signing with Oppa's new company?" Jin Shaoqing stretched out his finger and pointed at his own face blankly. "You should be very clear about DSP's situation. Rainbow was abandoned by the company only two years after its debut, which was a waste of such good staffing. In the next few years, the company will most likely not launch a new girl group, and it will be difficult for you to debut if you stay in DSP." Jin Shiming said frankly. Once Girls' Generation reaches the top, all current girl groups will inevitably be affected. In order to temporarily avoid the spotlight, major brokerage companies will most likely postpone the plans for new girl groups unless there is really no other choice, so as to avoid becoming cannon fodder. However, Jin Shaoqing's singing and dancing skills almost cut off her chances of a solo career. Unless she can get a chance to appear in a TV series and debut as an actress, her only option is to wait for a new girl group. But the blooming period of a female idol is so short. If Jin Shaoqing, who was born in 95, delays her debut for another four or five years, her age will be a bit too old for the new girl group. Not to mention her height of nearly 173cm and her aura of appearing to be quite mature, so her compatibility is really not very high. If you are lucky, it may be stuffed into the new group border. If you are unlucky, after wasting your precious youth, you will have no hope of making your debut and will either leave sadly on your own or be persuaded to leave by the company. "Then if I sign with Oppa's company, can I get a chance to debut?" After listening to Jin Shiming's detailed analysis, Jin Shaoqing was somewhat tempted. "I can't promise you that you will definitely debut now." Jin Shiming did not make any promises, but said frankly, "According to my plan, the company will officially launch a new girl group in two and a half years. As long as your level is up to standard, there will be a place for you in this new girl group." Two and a half years sounds like a long time. However, for a newly established small company, two and a half years is not a long period to launch a new girl group from scratch. Scouting trainees, professional skills training, market research, making debut plans, shooting promotional videos... every step takes a lot of time. "I've only been a trainee for two years, plus two and a half years, it's just over four years. Compared to other trainees, it doesn't seem like a long time," Jin Shaoqing counted on his fingers. Trainees who debuted on Peninsula generally have a longer trainee career. Jessica from Girls' Generation practiced for seven years and six months, and G-Dragon from BigBang took eleven years to officially debut. There are many people who have been trainees for five or six years. Jin Shiming took a sip of the drink on the table and said nothing. He had no say in the length of time as a trainee.
If we count from the time he entered DSP, Kim Se Myung's trainee time was less than four months, which is only slightly longer than A Pink's paratrooper Jung Eun-ji. "Oppa, I have to go home and discuss this with my parents. I'll give you an answer in a few days, okay?" Jin Shaoqing had already made a choice in her heart, but this matter was of great importance, and she couldn't make the decision on her own without her family. "Of course, this concerns your life and future, so you must think it through carefully. If uncles and aunts have any questions, or want to know more specific matters, you can give them my contact information and let me talk to them in person." Jin Shiming said with a smile. After finishing the business, Jin Shaoqing immediately relaxed a lot, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Oppa, has your company found an office location?" "Before returning to the peninsula, I commissioned an agency to look for an office location. The other party found three suitable properties according to my requirements. Tomorrow, I will go to the site with Mr. Suzuki to take a look and try to decide on the company's location as soon as possible." Jin Shiming replied. "What about the name of the company, have you thought of it, Oppa?" Jin Shaoqing asked again. "Not yet, how about you help me think of one?" Jin Shiming said that he has difficulty in naming. "How about naming it after the founder like SM and JYP?" Jin Shaoqing said without hesitation. Jin Shiming thought about it and found that no matter whether his name was pronounced in Chinese or Korean, the abbreviation was "SM". "Then wouldn't I become a little SM? That's not right!" Jin Shiming shook his head repeatedly. SM is such a big name that no matter what word Kim Se-myung expands these two letters into, people on the peninsula will inevitably think of Lee Soo-man's Star Museum. If President Li knew that Jin Shiming brought a group of people poached from DSP and ended up doing a little SM, wouldn't he be so angry that he died on the hospital bed? "It seems so! Hmm... Oppa, is there anything that has left a deep impression on you recently? Be it food, animals, or simply the scenery in nature!" Jin Shaoqing thought for a while and suggested again. "Anything that impressed me? It seems not..." Jin Shiming was halfway through his sentence when the butterfly in his dream suddenly appeared in his mind. Jin Shiming took out a pen and paper from his bag and wrote the word "Butterfly" on it. "Butterfly? Butterfly?" Jin Shaoqing gestured with his hands to imitate the fluttering of a butterfly, and was a little surprised why Jin Shiming suddenly thought of a butterfly. Jin Shiming stared at the words on the paper for several seconds, but always felt that something was missing. After a long time, Jin Shiming added "Dream" after "Butterfly". "It's decided, let's call it 'Butterfly Dream'." Jin Shiming finally nodded with satisfaction. "Well... Oppa, as long as you like it!" Jin Shaoqing's expression was a little subtle. It’s not that she thought the name was bad, she was just puzzled by Jin Shiming’s train of thought. "For the sake of convenience, let's just refer to the company as ''!" Jin Shiming said as he wrote on paper. The next second, Jin Shiming looked at the abbreviations on the paper and his expression became complicated. As we all know, SM is nicknamed "Silly Hat" by fans in China. Will this "BD" be ridiculed as a "fool" by Chinese people in the future? Even Jin Shiming had some doubts. Could it be that he and SM really had an inexplicable fate? Hiss, don’t think too much! (End of this chapter)
