Chapter 116: The cruelty of the trainee system

"Xuanyi Oni~"

Qiu Suojing was taken aback by Wu Xuanyi's bold behavior, although she knew that the two knew each other, how good could the relationship between the landlord and the tenant be...... It's just that Wu Xuanyi is still a foreigner who is not familiar with the culture here, and it is really rude to say such things.

"Oba, we're family, aren't we?"

Wu Xuanyi guided Li Xianzhe to eat seaweed, and asked with a smile from the corner of his eyes.

"Hmm~" Li Xianzhe nodded dumbly.

"We're kind of trainees of Imperial Entertainment now, right?"

"Hmm~ That's right. ”

"Oba just said that the company's treatment of trainee artists is based on YG and LOEN, right? ”

"Is that right?"

"So, as the president, Oba shouldn't you give us these newcomers, pay us living expenses, and calm our hearts. ”

The corners of Li Xianzhe's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he subconsciously glanced at the other girls.

Those people didn't even have the courage to look at each other, but Li Xianzhe had a feeling of bullying others.

"Ahem...... It is only natural that the elder will give the new trainees living expenses. ”

Li Xiuyan put on a serious face and poked Li Xianzhe's arm with his finger.

"You won. ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Xianzhe returned to his desk, took out a bank card from the drawer with a key and put it in Wu Xuanyi's hand.

"There's not a lot of money in this card, and the password is six zeros, but it's more than enough for ten of you for a month. ”

"How much money?"

"Five million, you go back and divide it, and the other three people who didn't come, let them pack their bags together, and someone will take you to the new dormitory. ”

Five million people can get 500,000 yuan, which is two or three thousand yuan in the currency of Huaxia, which is equivalent to the normal monthly salary level of a college graduate and low-level migrant workers in Huaxia.

Lee Hyun-cheol didn't know what range other companies would give to trainees at this time.

But combined with factors such as many idols having stomach problems after their debut, as well as the company's demanding body management methods, he can only say that what he gave was definitely a very high standard.

Even if the prices here are high, it is not a big problem for these trainees to rely on their part-time jobs and the money given by their families to eat and drink for a month.

"That president nim, isn't it a little too much. ”

When Wu Xuanyi was still there with his fingers calculating the exchange rate, Qiu Suojing was directly frightened by this number and almost fainted.

"After the company opens, the living expenses will be redivided according to the level of the trainees, but the minimum will not be less than 200,000 (S.. M normally only subsidizes about 100,000 yuan for the lowest-level trainees, combined with RMB four or five hundred, and the high-level trainees are doubled).

This money is considered to be the care I gave you privately in the friendship of your president. ”

Such an answer made Wu Xuanyi hold the bank card even more until she left.

"It's only 5 million, why is it scared like this, is it a lot?"

"You don't understand how harsh the trainee system in South Korea is, do you?"

Faced with the doubts of Li Xiuyan, an outsider, Li Xianzhe directly put S.. M: This is the most representative one, and tell the other party.

"Let's start with S.. The subsidy of M, D-level trainees is about 400-500 yuan a month, and the money here is less than 100,000 yuan, and the C-level, B-level, and A-level trainees are doubled each.

In addition, I will give you an analogy on the question of how fierce the competition is, if a large-scale performing arts planning company has 1,500 trainees, and more than 75% of them are singer volunteers.

There will be about 700-800 male trainees, and the rest will be female trainees.

Then, more than 30% of the trainees are not contracted, which means that they may be abandoned by the company at any time. ”

This data made Li Xiuyan open his mouth wide and asked, "As a trainee, how old are you in general?"

"Under normal circumstances, the most of them are over 19 years old, and these people who have not debuted are old-timers, and most of them have been eliminated after several new group selections, but they still persist.

However, after the company completes the selection and launch of the new group, it will not produce similar combinations within three years normally, so at this time, it is also the most frequent period for many company trainees to leave.

Secondly, trainees between the ages of 15 and 18 account for about one-third of the total number of trainees, and the remaining small part is newcomers who have just entered the company, normally between 13 and 15 years old, of course, there are even smaller ones, and those under the age of ten abound. ”

Such data came out of Li Xianzhe's mouth lightly, which made the corners of Li Xiuyan's eyes twitch.

Demanding is no longer a word that can be used to describe the word trainee, this profession.

For example, what Li Xianzhe explained for him later, in different companies, the requirements for local and overseas trainees are also different.

The simplest to use in S.. For example, foreign trainees go to the company around 7 a.m. every day, while local trainees go to the company around 10 a.m.

The company course is arranged by yourself, but since you are a foreigner, the local language class is also a must.

Trainees are often divided into four classes of ABCD and A+1 according to their own level, and are temporarily divided into preparatory debut trainees.

Class D and Class C are practiced by the teacher, Class A and Class B are basically practiced by themselves, and occasionally there will be teachers with training, no matter what level of person it is, it is normal to be beaten and scolded by the teacher, or to train out of an injury, and no one will sympathize with you.

In addition, male and female trainees practice separately, with 5~7 people in each practice room in Class D and Class C, and 3~4 people in Class AB.

The company has monthly assessments, and there is no assessment for the first 2 months for those who have just joined the company.

The assessment is divided into different categories, such as dancing, singing, etc., if you have several of them at the bottom, then the company will consider whether to leave the company, and it doesn't matter if the contract has not expired.

For example, trainees will practice a movement thousands of times, and they cannot eat or drink water during the practice period.

On the surface, many company artists say that they practice for 10 hours a day during their trainees, but in fact, more than 12 hours is the normal time.

Li Xiuyan touched his chin and didn't speak for a long time, this reaction was exactly the same as the expression of Lee Hyun-cheol, who knew the real details of the trainee from Song Ki-beom before returning to China.

"Isn't it scared? ”

Li Xianzhe laughed, the other party didn't understand and it was also within his expectations, after all, in Huaxia Country, in the United States, trainees are unfamiliar to too many people.

Unlike RB trainees, South Korea is a unique product of the local entertainment industry culture.

"It's a little, it seems that I'm still thinking too much about trainees. ”

Li Xiuyan exhaled heavily, and at this time he deeply understood that when he heard about the magical profession of trainee from Li Xianzhe in the United States, for a while, he actually wanted to secretly go to S. M as a trainee idea.
