It's hard to be an idol

Chapter 358 Let's Be Boss Together

"Are you asleep?"

"Nope."

With the addition of Lu Han as a guest, the room where Mr. He and the others could sleep three people was also dismantled. Mr. He and Mr. Huang shared a room, and the big bed seemed more spacious. Xu Lai slept with his hxd Lu Han In one room, two young people can also chat.

"Can't sleep?" Lu Han asked Xu Lai, who didn't seem to be sleepy.

"I am busy."

"What's the matter?" Lu Han cheered up a little after hearing what Xu Lai said.

"Is the microphone off?"

"It's closed early."

"Oh, it's actually what I told you before. To make a mainland version of "Product 101". For the TV station, I asked Mr. He to ask if there is any intention on Mango TV, and Brother Taozi said If you can spare time for what you said, it’s on your side, Brother Lu, because you’re busy..."

Xu Lai was talking about something serious with Lu Han. In fact, when Xu Lai asked him if the microphone was turned off, he knew that Xu Lai was going to talk about something unrelated to the show, but he didn't expect it to be this matter.

Before Xu Lai and Lu Han mentioned the matter of making a show, Xu Lai had already bought the copyright here, so he just contacted a TV station or a video website for cooperation. He was also very interested in making an idol group, after all he He came from an idol team, especially as the biggest beneficiary of the mainland idol market, Lu Han knows the benefits of the mainland idol market very well.

However, Xu Lai had just described the blueprint of the project to him before. The plan was in place, but the basic conditions other than buying the copyright had not been completed, so he did not respond to Xu Lai exactly. After all, he had to adjust the schedule. It also depends on the time Xu Lai has determined so that he can give Xu Lai a free period.

"If it goes well, it should be the second half of the year, maybe just after summer." Xu Lai thought for a moment.

"Then you'll let me know when the confirmed time comes out, I'll come out during my free time." Lu Han smiled in the dark, "Thinking about the three of us doing something together again, I'm really looking forward to it. When you think about the last time it was like this, you have to move forward to a year ago."

"Time flies fast."

"That's right, time flies really fast, you have already started to slowly transform from a singer to a boss." Lu Han sighed.

"Don't talk about this yet." Xu Lai smiled, then organized his language a little bit, and sent another invitation to Lu Han, "Then Brother Lu, do you want to be the boss with me?"

"What boss?" Lu Han asked curiously.

"The two of us and Brother Taozi together, the three of us will set up a company together, recruit some trainees to train, and become an SM company in mainland China. Of course, I am not talking about the treatment of trainees by SM company, but the trainees. We all came out of SM’s trainee training system, compared to mainland China, South Korea’s cultivation of idols is indeed much more advanced.”

Xu Lai paused, then smiled mysteriously, "I'm the director of SM Company now, so... I think this matter is very interesting. My studio also raised a few trainees, and they followed SM Company The trainees have been training together and taking assessments together for several months now."

"They have a part in this show, right?" Lu Han suddenly realized.

"Yes, they are all mainlanders or Chinese. When the time comes, I will send them into this show. If they can make their debut, they will make their debut. If they can't, it will be regarded as accumulating popularity for their future debut." The trainees recruited by Xingqi have considerations, "If the show doesn't make their debut, then I will send them to make their debut. It's not a difficult thing."

"This show shouldn't only run for one season, right? Then we train trainees, and we can catch up with future shows." Lu Han also diverted his thinking, "The market is so big, there must be one or two idols. It’s not enough, so this matter is really quite tricky.”

"Yes, when the time comes, we will sign the trainees who debuted on this show to our own company..."

"Then learn from South Korea's experience and gradually form a formal idol group training system like SM." Lu Han dragged his voice with an "oh".

"Xiao Lai, thank you so much for telling me this... I don't know how to thank you, so I can only say thank you."

After associating Xu Lai's words, Lu Han understood that Xu Lai was providing him with an opportunity to move up. His contract was only for three years, and there was not much time left. Waiting for the company to improve. After that, if he gets his contract back, his position will slowly change.

Moreover, who wants to be an employee if they can be a boss?If you can make money behind the scenes, who would want to go to the front of the stage if not to enjoy the attention in front of the stage?Isn’t it good to make money secretly?

Furthermore, Lu Han also understands one thing very well - an idol cannot be an idol for a lifetime.

When time passes, when you get old and look bad, when there are better-looking and more interesting newcomers, everyone's eyes will slowly shift to them. , then you have to plan early for the future.

Being an actor is one way, transforming into a real singer is another way, and running a company and being a boss and doing side jobs is also a way.

Lu Han thinks that Xu Lai's plan is very clever, and he is willing to participate in Xu Lai's plan. Of course, he is very grateful that Xu Lai can think of him at this time... It seems to be friends with Xu Lai, he takes advantage of it. A lot cheaper.

"Xiao Lai, you keep helping me like this. I really don't know what to say."

"Why are we talking about this? Didn't you help me in the same way back then? It was quite difficult for you at that time, and you stood by my side without hesitation. Now I just do some small things. Brother Lu, what are you doing? Why do you need to say this?" Xu Lai shook his head.

"It's different." Lu Han pursed his lips, turning some words around in his heart, but didn't say them out.

We can share adversity, but we cannot share wealth.

This is very common in the circle, and is even more common than the case of "trees falling down and hozens scattering". This also shows how difficult it is to "share wealth and honor" and how many temptations have to be overcome.

"Don't think too much, Brother Lu, do you think that letting you in is just being the boss and not caring about anything? You have to take care of the trainees, and you have to spend all your energy to make money to support them. Do you think it's that simple? "Xu Lai said bluntly, "When the time comes, they will have to use your connections to make their debut! Being the boss is not so easy."

"I know." Lu Han laughed, and the guilt was washed away by Xu Lai's words.

Indeed, imagination is wonderful, but if you want to be successful, there are still many challenges ahead.
