Chapter 418 Day 414 of Being the Boss
Today's competition system is mainly for several groups to get the opportunity to choose songs through game links, and then complete a collaborative stage with guest performers.
At this time, the nine groups in the studio were still in the stage of selecting songs.
Because there are so many people, and they are all boy bands, this segment can be said to be quite noisy, but precisely because there are so many people, it is also quite interesting.
Xu Yisong clearly found his own children among the crowd through the video on the wall.
But after watching it, Xu Yisong felt that it would be better not to watch it, it was too terrible.
As a newcomer, VICTON seems to be quite restrained when playing games, but this is only compared to the other members of their team. If compared with the other new members of another team who just debuted, these members of their team are also a group of little bullies.
There are nine groups in total in the variety show, and FYH has three teams. Although BAP's nominal company is RS, the walking distance between FYH's subsidiaries and the head office is no more than 10 minutes. Plus, they all live in dormitories provided by the company, so it's no exaggeration to say that they see each other every day.
In addition, Blue Whale is not only a permanent assistant to the trainees but also a teacher for VICTON's debut special training. Later, BAP also followed Xu Yisong's advice and served as an assistant to the trainees from time to time.
Therefore, the relationship between the three boy bands of FYH is definitely not the simple senior-senior relationship in other companies, but much closer.
It is precisely because of this that VICTON, a new group that debuted less than a month ago, has become extremely bold with the company of their brothers on the show. They are much less cautious when playing games than other groups and are quite relaxed.
For example, now, in order to fight for the rights to a song, several juniors relied on the fact that they had one more person than Blue Whale, and actually pinned their seniors including Kang Sung-woo to the ground while playing games.
In fact, not everyone was pinned to the ground. The ones who were bullied were mainly Kang Sung-woo and Kim Seo-min. However, the only one who was truly pitiful was Kang Sung-woo, because their beloved teammates were either too busy to take care of themselves or only saved the captain, and some would rather watch him being pinned to the ground by his brothers than come to save him.
As for BAP...Xu Yisong really didn't expect that these boys who looked quite strong were actually the weakest team among the three groups!
After one game, Xu Yisong had already figured it out. The six members of BAP only had four and a half brains. Bang Yongguk had one, Kim Leechan had one, Moon Jongup had one, the youngest member Choi Joonhong had only half, Yoo Youngjae had two, and Jung Dae-hyun…he had none and owed one.
Xu Yisong used to think that their style was more like beasts than rabbits, but now it seems that they are indeed a group of rabbits, and the kind that won't bite people.
Obviously, FYH has three groups this time, which should have given it the most advantages in playing this large-scale game, but now it seems that may not be the case.
Who could have thought that the two most combat-effective regiments would actually start a civil war, leaving behind a herbivorous rabbit regiment that looked combat-effective but actually had almost zero combat effectiveness?
"Ouni, which one will you help later?" Sunmi was laughing so hard that tears were about to come out as she watched the fight.
Faced with this problem, Xu Yisong chose to remain silent. She didn't want to help anyone now.
Fortunately, the real competition is not this kind of game, otherwise, let alone the top three, the last few would only be the last ones according to this way of playing.
It may be that Blue Whale and VICTON were too into the fun, which caused other groups that were originally restrained to gradually relax.
Although it has lost some of its idol baggage, the viewing and entertainment value of the game has indeed been greatly increased, and the variety show effect was immediately achieved.
The last game successfully turned into a melee comparable to a snowball fight in the north, and by the end it was completely impossible to tell who was the enemy and who was the friend.
In the end, as Xu Yisong expected, Blue Whale's game score was not very high, and it even ranked last. However, BAP, which had not understood the rules and was in a free state, inexplicably ranked in the front.
VICTON, who sacrificed their predecessors, took second place in the game and got the right to choose songs first.
Ranked first is the group NCT from SM Entertainment.
This group is a new group launched by SM company last year. Heo Yisong heard of them when they just debuted.
However, compared to the group, Xu Yisong is more interested in their concept.
When Xu Yisong first heard the concept of this group, he couldn't help but sigh that the president of SM is indeed a master at creating concepts.
NCT's name is an acronym for the new technology "Neo Culture Technology".
"(Many) + "City" - This means the infinite aspiration of hoping that NCT exists in every city in the world.
The core concept of NCT is unlimited openness and unlimited expansion. That is to say, the group has no fixed number of members, new members may join at any time, and it will expand to the world, and members will be born in any city in the world.
When Xu Yisong saw this concept, she was shocked. But she saw more of SM's ambition than the concept.
However, whether this concept can ultimately achieve "infinite openness and infinite expansion" remains unknown.
You have to know that this concept sounds great and is indeed novel, but it is difficult to actually implement and it is easy to go wrong.
However, SM's current strength can support such an extraordinary ambition.
There are only eight members in NCT now. The one participating in the variety show this time is one of NCT's sub-groups, NCT 127, and all eight members are there.
Xu Yisong is actually quite curious about how many people NCT will have in the end, but she feels that the so-called "unlimited openness, unlimited expansion" system is absolutely impossible to truly achieve.
It's so hard.
However, regardless of whether this concept will ultimately be successful, SM's spirit of unlimited innovation is what Xu Yisong needs to focus on.
There is probably no one in the entire entertainment industry who is better at creating concepts than the SM president.
There are so many idol groups in South Korea. To stand out, it is not just the idols' own strength that counts. It can even be said that apart from absolutely outstanding talent, strength is actually the least noticeable factor in the idol group.
There are a lot of talented artists in Korea, but for idols, having talent is only a basic requirement for entering this industry.
The sudden popularity and even long-term development of an idol group actually depends more on the ability to stand out from the crowd of idols.
And this ability is ultimately based on the strength of the company behind the group.
Although companies like FYH and SM are competitors, in fact, in addition to competing, they are also constantly learning from each other's successes and failures to enrich themselves.
This is also one of the pleasures of running a company, at least for Xu Yisong.
