Chapter 131 Song Enchantment
Four o'clock in the afternoon, President's office.
On the sofa, Sun Shengwan looked curiously at the 'girl' in front of her, but the President kept typing on the desk, so Sun Shengwan didn't speak, just kept looking at Kim Tae-yeon.
Kim Tae-yeon knew Sun Shengwan. Red Velvet's debut song was a hit, and IVE's debut song was also a hit, but Twin Stars' stage had a magic that made people unable to take their eyes off, causing them to naturally ignore the other four members.
Red Velvet didn't have this situation. Although Bae Joo-hyun was the most eye-catching, the other four members all had their own stage charm and wouldn't become mere accessories.
As the main vocalist of the group, Sun Shengwan, whose looks were not inferior to many girl group visuals, naturally had high popularity.
Her nimble big eyes looked at her, and Kim Tae-yeon immediately felt immense pressure.
She didn't know why the President called her over, and why Red Velvet's Wendy Senior was also called.
"Done," Jiang Shu's voice rang in both girls' ears, and then they heard the sound of a chair.
The two looked up and saw Jiang Shu stand up, and they also hurriedly stood up.
"Let me introduce you, Red Velvet's main vocalist, Wendy."
"This is the company's new exclusive trainee, future solo singer, Kim Tae-yeon. She was born in '89."
Hearing that Kim Tae-yeon was a twenty-nine-year-old unnie, Sun Shengwan's eyes widened in shock.
Just by looking at her appearance, she couldn't tell at all.
"Wendy Senior," Kim Tae-yeon bowed in greeting.
"Taeyeon Ouni," Sun Shengwan looked at Kim Tae-yeon in shock, but didn't forget to return the greeting.
Watching their greetings, Jiang Shu smiled and continued.
"Taeyeon, I found you a teacher, but she has something going on this year and can only come to teach you next year. During this time, you can learn music from Teacher Sun."
Teacher Sun?
Sun Shengwan raised an eyebrow, looking at the President in surprise.
She had long heard that her President liked to give artists nicknames, and she didn't expect that she would also have this 'honor' one day.
"Yes," Kim Tae-yeon had no dissatisfaction. Not to mention that the capable come first, simply because Sun Shengwan had already debuted and she hadn't, the other party was qualified to teach her on this point.
Age?
That's not important.
"President, I have no objection to your arrangement, but I may not have time every day, and I can't control my schedule," Sun Shengwan said.
"It's okay, let her follow you," Jiang Shu said with a smile. "If you have free time, take some time to teach her. If you don't have free time, let her follow you on your schedules."
Anyway, solo singers don't have as high demands for dancing as idols. Lee Ji-eun has been debuted for more than ten years, and she is still a dance idiot when she returns, which is one of her major characteristics. If she were an idol, she would be a useless one.
Different identities naturally have different requirements.
"Huh?" Sun Shengwan was dumbfounded, turning to look at Kim Tae-yeon, who was still bowing her head, deep in thought.
"Then... I have no objection." A decision made by the big boss, seemingly a consultation, was actually an order.
"You've worked hard during this time. I'll give you a big red envelope at the end of the year," Jiang Shu said with a smile.
"This is what I should do. President, don't forget, I am still the company's vocal teacher," Sun Shengwan said with a chuckle.
"You didn't resign?" Jiang Shu said in surprise.
"No, President Li said that having artists teach vocal lessons to trainees can better encourage trainees to practice hard," Sun Shengwan explained.
Jiang Shu nodded. If he remembered correctly, S.M also had similar situations, where debuted artists came to teach classes.
However...
They don't seem to get paid?
Unlike Sun Shengwan, who receives two salaries.
"Alright, you two can go out now," Jiang Shu said, dismissing them after finishing the matter.
Sun Shengwan and Kim Tae-yeon stood up upon hearing this, bowed to Jiang Shu, and then exited the office.
He packaged a portion of the songs he had painstakingly deleted into a document and sent it to Lee Ji-eun.
Shu: 【File】
Shu: The arrangement is up to you.
Lee Ji-eun has received the file.
Lee Ji-eun: Okay.
With Min Xizhen around, Jiang Shu didn't have to worry about which subsequent title tracks Red Velvet should use. Whatever concept Min Xizhen gave him, he would write that song.
Originally, Jiang Shu's idea was to use 'Slap the Sticky Rice' for the mini-album, but Min Xizhen's concept clearly fit another popular Red Velvet song better, so he decided to use that popular song.
It was originally a complete song, but in order to let Lee Ji-eun enchant it and add to its popularity, he spent more than two hours deleting a part of the song, and then handed it over to Lee Ji-eun to supplement it.
Jiang Shu had considered not letting Lee Ji-eun handle it and directly releasing the song with her name on it, but considering that it would be difficult to determine whether the enchantment was successful, he chose to let her participate in the production, and not bother with these trivialities.
Tian Xiaojuan was currently leading the team, busy with ITZY's debut song, and he didn't know what kind of debut song she would come up with.
Jiang Shu didn't have many songs for ITZY, mainly because he didn't listen to JYP's girl groups much. If he had to say, it would be TWICE and NMIXX more. He didn't listen to ITZY much, so it was better to leave it to Tian Xiaojuan.
Lee Ji-eun's enchantment wasn't as effective as Tian Xiaojuan's, but the advantage was that it could be used for others. Tian Xiaojuan's could only be exclusive, which was a pity.
If Tian Xiaojuan could also enchant for others, then he would really go and create various retirement home groups.
Girls' Generation, T-ara, 2NE1, none of them would be a problem.
Wait.
T-ara?
Jiang Shu's eyes flashed, and he picked up the phone on the desk.
"Tell President Li to come to my office."
Soon after, Li Duohui arrived.
"President, you called for me?"
"Have Ye Shuhua's news been released yet?" Jiang Shu asked Li Duohui.
"It's been released. Many companies have already caught wind of it," Li Duohui said, pulling out a chair and sitting down.
"Add another person, Liu Huaying, she should be born after 1990. I don't remember the exact year, but just release the news like that."
"Will these entertainment companies believe in a trainee of such an old age?" Li Duohui asked, bewildered.
"Isn't Bae Joo-hyun here?" Jiang Shu said with a chuckle.
My twenty-seven-year-old Bae Joo-hyun has already debuted, so it's reasonable to have another one, right?
It's just that Kim Tae-yeon can't debut right now, otherwise he would promote her along with them.
"Okay," Li Duohui nodded. Just as she didn't know what the situation with Ye Shuhua was, she also didn't know about this Liu Huaying, but since the President arranged it this way, she would follow through.
"How's ITZY's progress?"
"It's going very smoothly. The debut song is almost finished. Once the debut song is completed, we can arrange the subsequent matters," Li Duohui replied.
Jiang Shu didn't manage these things, but she had to keep an eye on them. Although Tian Xiaojuan was very skilled professionally, the overall big picture still needed to be controlled by her personally.
"Thank you for your hard work, President Li."
"This is what I should do."
