Chapter 175: Visiting Seniors
"Everything is ready, let's go!" Shinee's agent, Kyoshi, came to their practice room to greet the six boys.
Everyone who was trying to relax said "Oh", sorted out their clothes with each other, and walked out of the company with Brother Jingshi.
On May 25, 2008, the weather was very clear and blue. Because it was Sunday, there were many pedestrians on the street. They sat in the nanny's car and saw couples holding hands under the shade of trees on the side of the road through the car window, chatting happily. The atmosphere was so beautiful, and the surrounding scenery became clear, with a pure and transparent sky, a gentle cloud, a tranquility, and a kind of peace.
At midnight today, the full version of Shinee's debut mv officially landed on major music websites. Since the MV login to the music website, everyone has been constantly refreshing the page of the web page, paying attention to the click rate of this mv at any time. Today, as their debut stage, everyone's heart is full of excitement and excitement. As long as they complete the performance on the first stage, they will no longer be hard-working trainees, but will become newcomers in the music industry and real debut singers.
"San brother, can you be more reserved? You have been smiling since you left the house." Cui Minhao turned around and looked at Chen Haoyu who was sitting in the last row, thinking that he was really abnormal today. He was always quiet, but he smiled silly from time to time.
Chen Haoyu rolled his eyes at Choi Minhao. Although we have been together for nearly a year, they will not understand what they think. The scenes of meeting girls for the first time came to his mind one by one. He just joined the company and became trainees inexplicably in order to get closer to them. Because of this, after becoming trainees, he watched the girls debut together, and watched them sweat on the stage and bring wonderful performances to his fans, he has been looking forward to one day to be with them. Today, the moment of dreaming for the past two years is coming, and his mood is completely indescribable. He can't find any suitable way of expression, and he can only smile foolishly.
"Jane Ki, are our album ready? How are the order of visits to you later?" Chen Haoyu calmed down and approached Li Zhen Ki and asked.
"Don't worry if I do my business, look..." Li Zhenji said, pointing to more than ten neatly coded albums beside him, then took out a piece of folded paper from his pants pocket and handed it to Chen Haoyu.
Chen Haoyu took the piece of paper handed over by Li Zhenji, opened it and browsed it carefully. It carefully recorded the performance list of "Popular Songs", and Li Zhenji carefully marked the order of visits of each senior.
"Are all nine people here in Girls' Generation? Or are there only three people, Jessica, Tiffany, and Xu Xian?" Chen Haoyu asked casually after reading the list.
"I really don't know this, why don't you ask?" Li Zhenji really didn't seem to know their arrangements.
Chen Haoyu shook his head. He has not seen many people from Girls' Generation recently. Although he belongs to the same company, he has almost no chance to meet. In addition to Zheng Jae-hee, he can only search online through the news of Girls' Generation. With the release of their series, girls are becoming more and more well-known and popular. They are a group of high school students themselves, and the company's positioning for them is also very accurate. Therefore, girls are now very popular among the ten generations of teenagers, and the number of registered fans of Fanclub is also showing a continuous upward trend.
Before, those who didn't know the Girls' Generation group just thought that these were nine young and beautiful girls. After Kim Taeyeon's "If" was released, her strength was quickly recognized by the public, and this song also became a simple colored costume such as cy.k, baby_blue, etc., and the Girls' Generation poses, setting off their cute and gentle new images, and presenting their charm like dolls and illustrations.
Along the way, the members were talking nonsense, and it was obvious that they were using this special way to relieve themselves. Chen Haoyu also interjected from time to time, occasionally making a small joke to relieve everyone's emotions. After a while, the nanny car finally arrived at the door of SBS TV. Six boys got off with Jingshi and, under his leadership, came to their standby room.
"You change your clothes first, and then sit obediently and don't move around. Let the makeup artist put on your makeup." Kyoshi explained.
Chen Haoyu was very quick to move. After changing into the stage costume, he said to the makeup artist: "Well, just put on some light makeup, don't be too thick."
"No!" The makeup artist shook his head and then explained: "Because it is a stage performance, the makeup should not be too light, otherwise it will be very bad under the light."
Chen Haoyu, who was not clear about the trick, could only accept the advice of the makeup artist completely and let her apply it on her face. After the makeup was over, Chen Haoyu carefully looked at himself in the mirror. It seemed that the makeup artist's level was indeed good. He couldn't help but exclaimed himself: "It seems that he has a good foundation and is so handsome no matter how he puts on makeup."
Of course, Chen Haoyu's words were collectively despised by the members as soon as he said it. He ignored them at all, picked up the performance list given to him by Li Zhenji, and began to think about visiting all the seniors later.
In Korea, visiting seniors is a must-have etiquette for newcomers. No matter what the other party’s fame is, as long as they debut one day earlier, they will be seniors. Of course, in addition to the etiquette, visiting seniors is still beneficial. In this way, you can try to make a relationship with seniors. If you meet a very kind senior, they will also teach their own experiences to juniors. These experiences are undoubtedly very valuable to newcomers.
After all the members put on makeup, Kyoshi looked at the time and estimated that all the singers who participated in "Popular Songs" were here, so he and six boys were preparing to visit all the seniors in the song industry one by one.
The six boys kept knocking on the door, then greeted them in honorifics, introduced themselves, and then delivered their debut album. This feeling was even more tiring than practice. Fortunately, the seniors they visited before were all good, and they responded very friendly to their visits, whether it was out of etiquette or something.
After visiting about six or seven singers and groups, Chen Haoyu and his group came to the door of a standby room. Looking at the familiar name sign on the door of the standby room, Chen Haoyu smiled, "Brother Jingshi, we are all familiar with each other in private. Do you still need to be as formal as before?"
"That's sure, after all, you are all singers. This is a public place. The etiquette you should have must not be missing. Otherwise, if you are seen and used with ulterior motives, it will be bad for you and them." The agent Jingshi expressed his point of view very seriously. In fact, Chen Haoyu just asked casually. He understood what Brother Jingshi said, and he would have been enlightened if he wanted to make them seniors.
"Hey, everyone, please make up your makeup, I'm going to knock on the door!" Chen Haoyu paid more attention than before. He sorted out his clothes and said to the other people. Seeing everyone doing some sorting, Chen Haoyu felt that there was no problem, and took a deep breath and knocked on the Girls' Generation's standby room door with "dongdongdongdongdong".
The door was opened, and Chen Haoyu saw at a glance that it was Zheng Jae-hee who came to the door. Zheng Jae-hee smiled, pulled him into the girls' waiting room, and said, "I guess you should be here too."
"Hello senior, we are shinee. This is our debut album. I hope you will accept it." Chen Haoyu, as the captain, looked at the three girls in front of him, his face turned slightly red. He gritted his teeth and took everyone to bow to the girls and then handed over their debut album.
jessica, tiffany, and Xu Xian also formally responded to the juniors of the same company and took the album handed to them by Chen Haoyu. Xu Xian looked through the album curiously and then said, "It's really not accustomed to Brother Haoyu calling me senior so formally just now." For Xu Xian, he has been calling him brother since the first day he met Chen Haoyu, and suddenly changed his identity, which is really not very adaptable.
"Xiaoxian, there are not many opportunities like this!" Tiffany looked at Chen Haoyu with a smile and joked with Xu Xian.
"The album has finally been released. Now I can use your song as my phone ringtone openly." Jessica looked very happy. The song "Sister is So Beautiful" was created by Chen Haoyu. Before he handed it over to the company, the girls knew it and liked it very much. Because it was not officially released, it could not be used in public occasions. Now, these are not a problem. Besides, as the lead singer of the group, Chen Haoyu also sang a lot. The sentence "Sister is So Beautiful" seemed to be confiding with them.
"There are a few more for them here." Chen Haoyu took a few more signed albums from Li Zhenji and sent them to the girls again.
"So should we give back the gift?" Jessica smiled and turned around and took out six Girls' Generation series from her bag as a return gift to Chen Haoyu and the others.
Chen Haoyu took the album handed over by Jessica and distributed it to the members one by one. It seems that the girls have prepared for a long time. Their names have been signed on it, and each album has stated who it is for.
In addition to calling the senior at the beginning, Chen Haoyu felt a little awkward, the chat after that, in terms of the atmosphere and content were much more depressing than before. Because they were very familiar with each other, they were delayed a little longer at the Girls' Generation. However, there were other seniors who needed to visit them. Jingshi reminded them, so everyone was ready to leave.
Although there were only a few steps, the three girls still sent them to the door.
When everyone said goodbye to each other again, the three girls waved their fists, "You guys have to cheer up, shinee, fighting!"
"Girls' Generation, fighting!"
Chapter completed!
