Volume 5 2013 Chapter 954: Strange Sense of Distance
It was only after arriving at FNC that Yi Haoyan realized that he had underestimated this company.
FNC is not really a small company, at least from the outside it definitely doesn’t look small.
The company building is located at 111 Dongcheongdam-dong, Gangnam, Seoul, with a construction area of 2,644 square meters and a total of 7 floors.
There are three floors underground and four floors above ground.
It has more than 40 personal practice rooms including a recording studio, as well as a cafeteria, office, cafeteria, etc.
It is not easy to buy a building in such a location. Of course, all of this is earned through the success of the artists under the company.
The success of FTISLAND and CNBLUE has created high revenue for FNC and has also allowed the company to reach its current scale.
In addition to these two boy bands, the company also has signed contracts with many actors, including some well-known figures such as Lee Dong-gun.
Strictly speaking, FNC is a medium-sized enterprise and a well-developed company at that.
…
…
FNC attached great importance to Yi Haoyan's arrival, and President Han Shenghao and the management team went downstairs to greet him personally.
"I'd love for Young Master Yi to come to the company in person! I've heard about your achievements in the idol field, but I've never had the opportunity. Now that you're here, please give me your guidance."
Han Seung-ho is not good-looking, with a round face and small eyes. He was obviously a talented artist back then, but his attitude was very sincere and he was not annoying.
"My sister is very busy these days, so I'll come and take a look for her, maybe I can help."
Sun Enxi did not come, but the driver Lao Gao came with Yi Haoyan.
Unlike when she went to Starship, the situation at CJ is different now, and Sun Eun-hee's position is also different. It would be more appropriate for her not to show up in such matters.
"Now that Master Yi is here, our AOA is saved. Recently, the leader of the planning team is losing all his hair..."
"Then let's go directly to the practice room and take a look."
Compared to researching and planning in the meeting room, Yi Haoyan prefers to communicate directly with members.
In any case, even if AOA is not developing well now, he does not think it is the members' own problem.
Whether an idol can become popular or not, personal ability and opportunities are certainly important, but what is more important is the company's planning and operation.
AOA obviously failed because of this.
Although the abilities of these girls obviously do not reach the standards of Girls' Generation and 2NE1, there are few idols .
AOA's achievements are not just what they are now.
When we arrived at the practice room, the girls were already waiting, standing neatly in a row, looking very reserved.
It seems that the company's management is very strict.
It’s interesting to say that among the girl groups that Yi Haoyan knows, AOA should be the one that is most distant from him.
Girls' Generation and F(X) need not be mentioned.
Girl's Day and he are just ordinary friends, and they don't know the boy's true identity, so they get along with each other very casually.
Although Sistar knew his identity, there were many twists and turns and interesting stories in the initial acquaintance process. So even though they were nominally boss and subordinate, they got along very closely and there was no sense of distance.
Not to mention T-ara, who are even "closer" to Park Ji-yeon, with whom they are almost on the verge of fighting.
Only AOA is different.
They are neither friends with Yi Haoyan like in Girl's Day, nor do they share interesting memories like in Sistar.
This young master is a complete stranger to the girls of AOA, and the identity of the other chaebol young master is even more superior than their own president.
AOA has debuted for more than a year and is still a newcomer in the industry. It is the time to emphasize etiquette and rules. Moreover, their performance is not very good, so it is inevitable that they feel uneasy.
In fact, the members didn't even dare to look at this chaebol young master for even a second.
When he met them in such an occasion, there was almost naturally an insurmountable gap between them, which made the girls unconsciously feel a little nervous.
The girls unconsciously lowered their heads and looked submissive, and the sense of distance was obvious.
Here, they are the objects of scrutiny and evaluation. If they are not allowed, they are not even allowed to speak, let alone have the qualifications to communicate.
That won't work.
"You guys go out first, I'll talk to... the members."
Yi Haoyan originally wanted to talk to the sisters alone, but suddenly remembered that some of these people were younger than him, so he paused and changed his mind.
It has been four years since he came to Korea, and there are already some idols debuting who are younger than him.
"Ah? Oh, okay."
Han Shenghao obviously noticed the somewhat stiff and awkward atmosphere at the scene, and even though it felt a little sudden, he still did it.
He knew everything about this young master, he had no prejudice or contempt for idols, he was considered a very down-to-earth person among the chaebols. The other party did this because he was really ready to do something, which would only make Han Shenghao overjoyed.
…
…
Soon, the bunch of executives who were crowded in the practice room and made the kids nervous all left, leaving only the female manager who usually managed AOA.
The female agent looks fat and unremarkable, but she is very discerning.
She swiftly brought a chair to the boy, ready for him to sit down and talk.
The practice rooms are all wooden floors. In order to protect the floors, there are no tables, chairs or benches in the rooms. When the members are tired of practicing, they just sit on the floor.
But isn't this the chaebol's son? We can't let this guy be like this, right?
Li Haizhu thought to herself, feeling very proud of her actions. As a manager, the most important thing is to be sharp-eyed and careful, and in this respect, Li Haizhu felt that she did a good job.
She has been AOA's agent for nearly a year. The group's performance is not good now and she is under a lot of pressure. This young man who is said to be very capable is the rescuer invited by the president with great difficulty. Although he does not look like someone who knows the business very well, she still has to give it a try.
What if it works?
Fat Li Haizhu muttered secretly in his heart.
"Nuna, thank you, but no thanks."
After everyone left, Yi Haoyan waved his hand, refused the stool that Li Haizhu brought over, and sat cross-legged on the floor. He looked casual, like a handsome trainee waiting to debut.
His action stunned everyone present.
Um……
What is this chaebol young master trying to do?
Li Haizhu was a little confused. She had never seen such a scene before.
How can a chaebol young master be so casual? Don't people like that always look very stylish?
Not only the manager, but the girls of AOA were also a little overwhelmed.
They looked at each other, confused about the situation.
