Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

Chapter 109 Jeon Boram, who invented this little gadget?

"In the first month, the five of them mainly focused on showcasing their singing and dancing talents."

"Yoonjoo and Soyeon will be covering Chinese songs. I will decide the songs for the first few episodes, and the songs for the later episodes will be determined based on feedback from the comments section."

"Ni Ni's English is good, and she and Yun Zhi covered an English song together, choosing the same song."

"As for Hannah—"

It's definitely not feasible for all five members to sing.

Han Seok decides to have Kang Han-na perform a cover of a Korean dance from the early 2000s.

Early 2000s K-pop dance emphasized rhythm and power, offering a novel retro experience to young audiences who had never experienced it before.

"Even though they are all cover songs, they need to be differentiated from each other."

"We need to optimize and adjust their musical style, image, makeup, and stage settings according to the standards of benchmark artists."

Li Haoyan was terrified.

With such high treatment and requirements, what's the difference between them and debuted idols?

Judging from the makeup and styling level of Han Shuo's current activities, the investment that Fanxing Entertainment has made in the five trainees is definitely not a small amount.

This approach inadvertently increases the cost of training trainees.

If the operation is successful and the trainee debuts smoothly, that's fine. But if a trainee leaves during the process, the bad debt rate will be much higher than the industry average.

At this point, someone voiced the question that had been on his mind: "Director, should we consider business activities in advance?"

With such high training costs, it's only natural to match them with commercial activities to ensure healthy revenue generation.

"Didn't they say that Elite and Smart are talking to my marketing colleagues about my endorsement intentions? They're going to build a bundled collaboration based on this endorsement."

The stage outfits for "Fiction" feature a uniform style.

The performances will be divided by high school uniforms, meaning there will be a different school uniform outfit for every other performance.

To this end, the marketing department contacted the four major school uniform brands in South Korea and, relying on his reputation, easily obtained their sponsorship.

As his popularity and musical achievements continue to grow, Elite and Smart, the top two players in terms of market share, have considered deepening their collaboration.

"If it's a suitable endorsement in the future, and all five of us can endorse it together, we can make some concessions on certain conditions."

Using one's own fame as leverage to secure business collaborations for StarsRookies is tantamount to selling one's blood to help the poor.

With Han Shuo protecting them, if they still can't achieve anything, the members of Fanxing Entertainment's new media team feel they can pack their bags and go home.

"yes!"

"If the exposure on Bilibili exceeds expectations, or if the group has a base of popularity, the next step can be to try producing travel-themed mini-variety shows."

Apart from Ni Shi, the other five members either have very limited Chinese or no experience living in China, making them perfect for the concept of traveling abroad.

When foreigners travel to China, differences in language, customs, and other aspects can create unique and interesting experiences.

Not to mention now, even twenty years from now, these videos of foreigners traveling in China will still have a large market.

The dilapidated Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which locals are used to seeing, and the local delicacies that they're tired of, might offer a different interpretation if viewed from a foreigner's perspective.

"Depending on their popularity and performance, we will also create Chinese singles for them."

'

"President Li, did you find anything?"

"Your operational methods seem simple, but they are actually very difficult to execute. For example, where am I supposed to find someone with your popularity, a near-top influencer, to support newcomers?"

It's Han Shuo who's in charge. If it were someone else, trying to bundle their new talent with a new company for promotional purposes, the brand would probably have just replaced them.

"How about this, when we make a travel mini-variety show, we'll invite members of Kara to participate."

Fanxing Entertainment has not yet formed its own artist matrix, nor can it possibly dominate the Chinese market with just one company. Deepening cooperation with several strategic partners would be beneficial for all parties.

"Also, Bilibili will launch a mini online variety show in the second half of the year, and Kara will record two episodes."

After the monthly test, the trainees enjoyed a half-day break.

After a month of hard practice, everyone finally had some time to relax, and almost everyone chose to rest, either going home or going shopping.

For example, two Chinese trainees, Ni Shi and Nazha, spent time with their families in Seoul.

Only Moon Hyun-ah and Jeon Bo-ram remained, quietly waiting for Han Seok in the boardroom.

"Unnie, what do you need the director for?"

Jeon Boram is the eldest among the trainees, but she doesn't act like a senior at all.

She couldn't lie and was easily tricked into revealing information; Wen Xuanya figured out her intentions in less than two minutes.

It turns out that the other person was usually required by Han Shuo to keep the dormitory clean and take photos every day, and this time they came specifically to be checked.

Han Shuo is usually extremely busy juggling his company and entertainment activities, but he still finds time to check on Jeon Boram's dormitory life.

This proves that her intuition as a woman was correct; Han Shuo was very concerned about this older sister who looked like a little girl.

"Have you been waiting long?"

Han Shuo strode into the office, taking off his coat as he went.

"Leave it to me."

Wen Xuanya was very perceptive and immediately went up to Han Shuo, making a move to take his coat. Han Shuo hesitated for a moment, then smiled and handed it to her.

Jeon Boram was stunned, indicating that she had learned something.

Han Shuo then chose to chat with Wen Xuanya privately, asking her to go outside and wait for ten minutes before coming over.

The problem is she can't learn it.

For every step Wen Xuanya takes, she has to take three.

Boardroom.

Han Shuo gestured for Wen Xuanya to sit opposite him and got straight to the point: "You came here because you were eliminated from StarsRookies, right?"

Wen Xuanya shook her head.

For the first twenty minutes after being eliminated, she felt a deep sense of loss.

It is foreseeable that future development will inevitably lag far behind those of its contemporaries.

But as her emotions gradually stabilized, she realized that dwelling on her defeat was pointless and that it would be better to talk to Han Shuo about the future.

She is not included in the early exposure resources for StarsRookies and the Summer Invasion project.

She is not on the list of candidates for a six-member girl group next year.

As a senior trainee, it was hard for her not to feel anxious, and she wanted to ask if the nine-member backup dancer group would be the company's next girl group project.

Moon Hyun-ah's change in attitude, which prevented her from clinging to StarsRookies, exceeded Han Seok's expectations.

"As long as you can adjust yourself, that's good."

He pondered for a moment: "In principle, I intend to launch a nine-member girl group project, focusing on model girl groups, but everything depends on the company's development."

"It's good that you're ambitious, but there's no need to be too anxious."

"StarsRookies will receive some resources, but they won't completely monopolize all the resources. Also, the second season of StarsRookies will continue after the initial members have gained some popularity. I have high hopes for you."

"Yes."

Has your inner anxiety been relieved?

No.

She's already 22 years old. She might still be considered a newcomer in other industries, but in the entertainment industry, especially among idols, she's considered quite old.

No matter how well future opportunities are described or how tempting they seem, they are all too uncertain.

Wen Xuanya clasped tightly together, her heart filled with turmoil.

In fact, if you want to take control of your destiny at Fanxing Entertainment, there's more than just debuting; there's also a shortcut to success.

The image of Ni Shi being left alone after Han Shuo's first stage performance came to mind.

Perhaps Han Shuo chose Ni Shi because of her language skills, but who can say for sure that there wasn't some personal affection involved?

She had always looked down on Jiang Enhui's affected manner; no matter how passionate she was, she always behaved quite appropriately.

But now she really needs to change herself.

"Director~"

She leaned forward, reached out and took Han Shuo's hand, rubbing it against her face affectionately: "You'll always support me, right?"

"Yes."

Han Shuo felt that he might have to make Jeon Boram wait a little longer.

When Wen Xuanya wears light makeup, her facial features are somewhat similar to those of the Chinese actress Jia Qing, exuding a plump and heroic air. However, when she wears heavy makeup, she transforms into a completely different person, appearing sexy and alluring.

She is 1.72 meters tall, with a pair of long legs that stand proudly, making her jeans look neat and pleasing to the eye.

Now those chubby, long legs were sitting right in front of him.

"Director~"

Wen Xuanya's hot breath hit his face.

Her plump and full figure made the seat creak and groan.

Han Shuo suddenly felt that the office chair was not ergonomic enough, and that he should replace it with a chair with an adjustable backrest angle next time.

I enjoyed the softness of the beautiful mature woman's lips.

He patted the other person's butt: "That's it?"

Wen Xuanya leaned on his shoulder.

Her lips were burning.

I wasn't sure if it was just pure excitement or the passion of the kiss, but I couldn't calm down.

I wish I could sell myself:

Why were you so pretentious before!

This is perfectly beautiful.

She hugged Han Shuo tightly, her face pressed against his, and uttered a wet and ambiguous word: "Director, I'm free this afternoon."

"I'm sorry, I have something to do this afternoon."

Han Shuo leaned closer and moistened his lips.

To further boost album sales, we've arranged numerous autograph sessions in the past few weeks, including two this afternoon.

After a large public autograph session and a private autograph session at the company, it was already evening.

"Then I'll wait for your call. I'm available these next few days."

Han Shuo nodded to indicate that he understood, picked up Wen Xuanya and placed her on the table. Before parting, he pinched her chin and kissed her.

After Moon Hyun-ah left, she called Jeon Bo-ram over.

"Come on, let me check your homework."

Han Shuo put on a new look, just like a kindergarten teacher.

Jeon Boram is totally into this.

They were completely under his control.

She obediently handed over her phone and a stack of Polaroid photos.

Her phone's photo album recorded the cleanliness of her dorm room bed every day since the birthday party, showing that she had been obedient, folding her blankets and cleaning diligently.

"not bad."

"Right?"

Jeon Boram smiled broadly.

The other stack of Polaroid photos was mainly used to record moments from the past week or so.

Ever since Han Shuo gave her a Polaroid camera, she has discovered many little joys in life.

"Wow, you've taken quite a few photos of me without my consent?"

Of the twenty Polaroid photos, at least ten featured him, including one of him doing push-ups with Moon Hyun-ah at his birthday party.

"Take pictures of all my detentions."

"OK."

How can this not be considered another form of gift-giving?

Jeon Boram is even more motivated to take candid photos.

"Speak, is there anything else you want to say?"

Jeon Boram, like a thief, leaned over the desk, tiptoed, and stealthily approached Han Seok: "I've noticed that Qri has been frequently leaving the dorm for night runs lately."

"It's so late, it's not safe."

"I've got it, I will—"

"No, please don't! That would make it look like I'm tattling!"

Jeon Boram subconsciously grasped Han Seok's hand, but then apologetically let go when she realized what she was doing. Fortunately, Han Seok didn't mind and asked her what she was going to do.

"How about this, next time she goes for a night run, I'll call you, you can go and bump into her, and then bring up this topic."

"I'll do as you say."

Han Shuo pressed down on the corners of his mouth.

Lee Juri had no motivation to go for a night run; she was clearly just going to renew her "kissing friendship value" with him.

"Anything else? Are you tired from practicing?"

"I'm so tired, so exhausted!"

Jeon Boram rubbed her arm.

She not only had to practice singing and dancing, but also the drums; she never had a moment to relax, seven days a week.

"Look, I've even built up muscles on my arms."

1

"Yeah?"

Han Seok beckoned Jeon Boram over: "Let me touch you."

Jeon Boram pounced around the table, bending her forearms back as if showing off her physique like a bodybuilder.

Han Shuo's large hands reached out and grabbed one in each hand.

What muscles are there?

It's clearly just a simple desire to share.

He didn't press the issue: "Is there anything else?"

"Ah—this."

Jeon Boram noticed that Han Seok hadn't let go of her; instead, he was holding her small hand and playing with it.

Her mind was a bit muddled, and she started rambling: "I've run out of Polaroid film."

,"for you."

Han Shuo took two boxes of photographic paper out of the drawer: "Use them sparingly, they're very expensive."

"ah----"

Actually, Jeon Boram regretted it as soon as she said it.

If you run out of Polaroid film, just use it up. Why did you have to tell Han Shuo about it?

Does she expect Han Shuo to buy it for her?

But then, as if by magic, Han Shuo produced two boxes of photographic paper for her, causing her overloaded brain to shut down again: "Did you buy these especially for me?"

"Yes."

of course not.

But if you put it that way, it's not a big problem.

The company provides Polaroid photos for fans who attend autograph sessions. Han Shuo thought of Jeon Boram and specially asked for two boxes for her. He didn't expect them to come in handy today.

He loosened his grip on Jeon Bo-lam.

"Thanks."

Jeon Boram sat back down, clutching the photograph.

"Is there anything else?"

"I got yelled at by my dance teacher yesterday —"

Han Seok just asked casually, but Jeon Boram always had something new to share.

This familiar feeling of déjà vu.

Isn't that just like little girl Shin Chong-joo's habit?

Just like a child in kindergarten, she would regularly come over to share the little things in her daily life with him.

Before, he only had Shin Yoon-joo by his side, but now he has Jeon Bo-ram, who is also a little girl. Is he the principal of some kindergarten?

Jeon Bo-lam kept rambling on and on.

She never imagined she would have so many private conversations with a guy, especially her own boss.

However, it feels good to have someone listening.

She's already looking forward to seeing him again.

Even in college, I have to be supervised to clean and tidy up every day. What's wrong with folding my blanket?

She deserves to be rigorously monitored and subject to spot checks.

Holding two boxes of photographic paper, she swayed her body, alternating between lifting her toes and heels off the ground, and asked expectantly, "So, do I still have to hand in my assignment at the end of each month next month?"
