Chapter 375 Day 371 of Being a Boss (Preparation for Debut)
Chapter 375 Day 371 of Being a Boss (Preparation for Debut)
After several months of selection and assessment, FYH finally decided on the debut members of the new girl group.
Jeon So-yeon, who was chosen at the beginning, lived up to everyone's expectations and completed all the assessments with excellent results, and served as the captain of the team. In addition to Jeon So-yeon, the other four members who passed the assessments are also familiar people.
Xu Yisong was also present when the results were announced at the end of the last day of the assessment.
Xu Yisong was very satisfied looking at the five young girls in front of him.
Although Xu Yisong did not participate in the assessment and selection, she paid attention to every assessment, so this result was not surprising.
"Jeon So-yeon, Seo Hye-jin, Jo Mi-yeon, Song Yu-qi, and Kim Min-nie." Xu Yisong's eyes swept over the faces of the five girls one by one, calling out their names in turn, and then took out a box containing five blank interactive hand card templates printed with the FYH logo.
Xu Yisong handed out the blank cards in the box to the five people one by one, and solemnly congratulated them, "Congratulations on successfully passing all the assessments and qualifying for debut."
After that, she pointed to the card with bunny's exclusive logo on her wrist and said, "I believe you are all familiar with this card. This is our FYH exclusive interactive card. You should have seen other people's cards. Now you will also have an exclusive card belonging to your own group. The cards in your hands are blank now. As for what symbol you plan to use to meet everyone, it is up to you to decide."
Every artist of FYH has his or her own exclusive symbol. Xu Yisong’s rabbit, Blue Whale’s whale, Song Eunyo’s cloud... Xu Yisong let them design these special exclusive logos themselves. Now Xu Yisong has also asked Jeon Soyeon and her friends to design their own exclusive logos.
This logo will accompany their group throughout their career and will also be a symbol of interaction between them and their fans in the future.
Since FYH launched this interactive support item, various types of interactive support items have developed in just two years, but this interactive hand card will always be the most widely used and basic support item.
The name of the new group has been decided, it is (G)I-DLE, which means "girl" plus I-DLE which means children. The combination means "girls with different personalities gathered together."
Their official debut date to the public is scheduled for May this year.
"There are still two months left, so start preparing for your debut from today."
Although everyone has already passed the assessment and clearly knows that they will be debuting soon, they still can't help but feel excited when they actually heard the specific time from Xu Yisong.
In fact, since the plan for the new girl group came out last year, the company has been preparing for the debut of this group that had not yet taken shape. Now that the members have been selected, they can even debut immediately.
But Xu Yisong still set the date in May.
Although the company had prepared a ready-made debut song for them, Heo Yi-sung wanted to use another version, which she had previously asked Jeon So-yeon and the producers to prepare.
Because Jeon So-yeon was the first candidate to be confirmed, she also had the most time to prepare. Although she also had to take care of the assessment tasks at the time, Heo Yi-sung saw the final song demo and it was done very well.
Now that all the members have been confirmed, the song needs to be modified based on the different attributes of each member, and she wants to leave this task to them themselves.
These two months are the adjustment period that Xu Yisong left for them.
It can be said that the five of them were all selected by Xu Yisong herself to join the company. In addition, Xu Yisong would give them lessons on a regular basis, so they could also be considered her students.
Although he cannot say that he knows every person very well, Xu Yisong has a basic understanding of their abilities and characteristics.
Xu Yisong doesn't like idols who are purely packaged by the company. She likes people who have abilities and characteristics. The artists who debuted in FYH basically meet this standard.
The same is true for (G)I-DLE today. Each of them is extremely charming.
After announcing the results, Xu Yisong let the girls go home to rest, and even arranged an extra day off. They had hardly had a break during the assessment, so now that everything was over, it was time to relax.
Before the end, Heo Yisong left Jeon Soyeon alone. It was not because she had any selfish motives this time, but because she wanted to discuss the group's debut with her. As the captain, Jeon Soyeon would have more responsibilities than others.
In addition to Jeon Soyeon, there are other people responsible for various matters related to debut.
Because there were many and diverse things to discuss, the entire meeting was extended from the original half an hour to an hour and a half, and by the time the meeting was over it was already past lunch time.
After the meeting, everyone looked at the time and made an appointment to go to the cafeteria to eat together, but Xu Yisong did not go.
Jeon Soyeon was a little confused: "Ouni won't be with us?"
Xu Yisong shook his head in response to her invitation: "You guys go ahead, I have to go back to the office first."
"Then we can eat first and then..." Jeon So Yeon wanted to try harder to get Heo Yisong to eat with her, but before she could finish her words, she was pulled away by an arranger teacher next to her.
This arrangement teacher is the one who worked with Jeon Soyeon to produce their debut song.
He pulled Jeon So-yeon away and said to her, "Don't worry about our president. There are people waiting for her in the office to have dinner together. Don't be a light bulb."
"Ah?" Jeon So-yeon was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. She looked at Xu Yisong who had already walked away, and then she remembered that Kwon Ji-yong seemed to have been in their company these days.
BIGBANG's 10th anniversary concert is over, and Top has enlisted in the military. Apart from Daesung, everyone else has less time to plan. Kwon Ji-yong has nothing to do during this time, so he stayed at FYH to accompany Heo Yi-sung to work.
Jeon So-yeon and the others were busy with assessments and closed training so they didn't know much about it, but other people in the company saw Kwon Ji-yong and their president coming to work together almost every day.
If you don’t know, you would think that Kwon Ji-yong is an artist of FYH.
In the past, Quan Zhilong rarely came to Xu Yisong's company during working hours. He usually came to pick up Xu Yisong after get off work in the evening. These days, it was because Xu Yisong was too busy and he had nothing to do that he appeared in FYH so frequently.
But only people in FYH knew that he was staying in FYH.
When Xu Yisong returned to the office, Quan Zhilong had already prepared lunch for her. Quan Zhilong went to the cafeteria to buy lunch. He had confirmed the end time of the meeting with Xu Yisong in advance, and it was just right for Xu Yisong to come back at this time.
"It's a nice feeling to be able to sit down and eat." Xu Yisong had only eaten one piece of bread this morning and was already hungry.
Because Ava was not around, Xu Yisong had a lot more work to do. He basically had to come to the company an hour earlier than before every day. He also had no time to make breakfast for himself, so he just had to grab a bite of bread or something. He had lost a lot of weight in the past few days.
Kwon Ji-yong placed the sweet and sour pork ribs that Xu Yisong liked in front of her and said, "Ava should be able to come back to work next month, right?" If Ava comes back, Xu Yisong will be much more relaxed.
"I'm afraid not. It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Let her take good care of herself." Although Ava's injury was not particularly serious, that was only because it did not hurt her vital parts. Her wound was very deep, so she still needed to rest for a while to let the wound heal slowly.
Ava won't be back for a while, Xu Yisong wants to hire another person, but Ava's position is not an ordinary job and it is not easy to recruit the right person, and it is not suitable to recruit people. "Forget it, it's just a little busy. I'll take a vacation when Ava comes back to work!"
When Quan Zhilong heard what Xu Yisong said, he pursed his lips and complained, "You have been talking about taking a vacation since the year before last." In the end, he never took a vacation.
Because of the nature of his work, he had always worried that he would be too busy and ignore Xu Yisong. But later he discovered that Xu Yisong, the originally quite idle Xianyu boss, was getting busier and busier. Compared with her, he was nothing.
Xu Yisong also felt speechless.
This was not what she had expected, but plans never keep up with changes. Every time she planned to take a break and give herself a vacation, something would suddenly pop up.
Moreover, all employees in the company can take holidays, but she, the president, cannot leave.
Especially during this period of time, Xu Yisong was basically very busy, even busier than when he was preparing for performances and year-end activities.
"Luckily, you can come and help." Xu Yisong bit the tip of his chopsticks and laughed, "If your president Yang knew what you've been doing recently, he would be so pissed off."
Recently at FYH, Kwon Ji-yong is not just sitting and waiting for Xu Yisong to get off work like he used to. He now also has to help Xu Yisong with work.
Although he had never done it before, he was very familiar with the artist's workflow.
So Heo Yisong handed over the work of the artist department that she was originally in charge of to Quan Zhilong for help, and if there were any problems that could not be solved, she could give them to her. This way, her workload would be less.
Besides the fact that she was too busy, Xu Yisong also had some little thoughts of her own.
She knew that Kwon Ji-yong had already thought about terminating his contract with YG, and that he would definitely come to FYH after they terminated the contract.
She wanted him to get more familiar with FYH.
In her future plans, she may not be able to manage FYH for a while, and relying solely on Ava will definitely not work at that time. Apart from Ava, the person she trusts most is Kwon Ji-yong.
Xu Yisong hoped that if the worst situation she had anticipated really happened, Quan Zhilong would be able to help her protect FYH during the time when she could not do anything.
However, that was just the worst case scenario Xu Yisong anticipated, and it might not happen in the future.
Quan Zhilong, who was conscripted to serve Xu Yisong as free labor, had no idea what Xu Yisong was thinking. He just felt that he was not suitable for management.
He used to think that he was a very patient person, but he still felt a headache when faced with these tedious and boring tasks.
Even though this was something he was very familiar with.
It’s just that before he was the one being arranged, but now he needs to arrange others.
The only consolation is probably that the meals are good every day and that I can be with Xu Yisong.
He looked at Xu Yisong who was happily enjoying his lunch and sighed, "I think we should take some time off after we're done with this."
Working really sucks the energy out of people!
Xu Yisong looked at Quan Zhilong's resentful expression and smiled: "Then we can think about where to go." Although we can't go now, we can plan in advance.
She already had a long list in her travel guide.
I don’t know when I can actually set off.
Although he was very busy, Xu Yisong still held a Surprise Box Concert this year, still in the season when cherry blossoms were in full bloom.
This time the location is set in Seoul again. Xu Yisong also wants to change a few more places, but he really can't spare any extra time this year.
She even had to go back to the company to work overtime during the days of the concert. If she went to a place outside of Seoul, Xu Yisong would not be able to spare much time.
The first location we chose this time was Seokchon Lake, and it happened to be the Cherry Blossom Festival, so Seokchon Lake was quite lively and crowded. There were also many art performances, music festivals, etc., and the venues were all ready.
Heo Yi-sung's stage is right next to Seokchon Lake, with Lotte World amusement park behind her.
In the evening, the sunset glow in the sky is gorgeous, and the blue fairy-tale castle tower looks particularly dreamy surrounded by cherry blossoms.
Because music events had been held here before, Xu Yisong did not need to set up the venue and could use the stage directly.
The staff made simple arrangements on site and put the equipment in place.
Because there have been frequent performances here recently, people passing by seem to have gotten used to it. When they see someone setting up the venue, they just look over curiously, but they don't realize that the person standing on the stage wearing a hat and mask and debugging the equipment is Xu Yisong.
Xu Yisong held the microphone and tried it. After it was OK, she took off her mask and tapped the microphone. The sound spread through the speakers: "Hello, hello, hello? Bunny's Surprise Box Concert is about to begin. Friends who are coming to the concert, please find a seat and sit down."
Today's venue is smaller than the previous park, but free benches are provided.
The crowd, who were originally just curious, became agitated after hearing the sound coming from the microphone. Some even screamed, "Bunny!"
Although FYH had released a concert preview before, the format of the Surprise Box Concert was too special. No one knew where the concert would be held until they actually saw Xu Yisong himself.
"Oh my god, I actually encountered it!"
"I was in Seoul Forest before, but I didn't expect to be here this year. I'm so lucky."
"My friend went to Seoul Forest today, just to try her luck and run into Bunny. If she knew I met Bunny here, she would probably be so pissed off, hahahaha."
……
Amid the discussions in the crowd, people gradually gathered around the stage. The free benches provided were definitely not enough, but everyone found a seat to sit in an orderly manner. If there were no benches, they just sat on the ground.
Anyway, there were no seats at previous concerts, so everyone basically sat on the floor.
Bunny's Surprise Box series has been launched for many times. From the initial unfamiliarity to now, everyone already knows the rules without having to explain them deliberately.
While the audience was spontaneously looking for seats, Xu Yisong on the stage had already taken off his coat, revealing his performance costume underneath.
A light-colored knitted jacket and a sleeveless printed dress.
Her already long hair was tied into a braid and hung casually on her shoulders. She didn't even have any extra accessories except the scarf on her wrist.
Different from the exquisite and gorgeous outfits in other stage performances, Xu Yisong's outfits at the Surprise Box concert are always gentle and casual.
