Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

When Li Wei arrived at Zhou Xiao's, Zhou Xiao had already served most of the dishes on the table, except that the duck soup with ginseng and lily in the stew pot was still simmering.In fact, as trial students and bachelors, Li Wei and Zhou Xiao are both good at cooking, but Zhou Xiao is good at big dishes, and Li Wei is better at home cooking.

Li Wei looked at the table, three dishes and one soup, two meat and one vegetarian.Sweet and sour pork ribs, fish with pickled cabbage, scrambled eggs with bitter gourd and freshly stewed duck soup with ginseng and lily.Seeing that Zhou Xiao is so good at cooking, Li Wei suddenly felt that Zhou Xiao would have a gourmet show when he made his debut in the future.

It is interesting to say that the viewing habits of gourmet programs in the East and the West are different.On Western TV, the food show is usually scheduled after the morning news show and before the daytime talk show, usually around [-] am.At this time, the husbands of Western families have already gone to work, and the children have already gone to school. Full-time mothers can watch TV in their busy schedule.On Oriental TV, food programs are generally arranged in the evening, usually before children's programs and after episode reruns.At this time, mothers can learn how to cook on the way to pick up their children, and then pick up their children and watch children's programs while preparing dinner.

Generally speaking, in addition to good cooking skills on popular food shows, the chefs are all handsome.After all, the main viewing groups of gourmet programs are married women, and the programs of handsome men cooking are quite attractive to this group.

Li Wei will not bring up this idea with Fan Zhi for the time being, after all, Li Wei also has selfish intentions.If Hulu.com needs to make its own programs in the future, he plans to make a food teaching program of "Sporty Man Chef".In addition to a handsome chef teaching people how to cook, this kind of program also has a beautiful assistant host who is in charge of helping.In addition, a celebrity or celebrity will come to each episode of the show. He will talk about the dishes he wants to eat, and the chef will be responsible for making them.While the chef is cooking, he will also chat with the guests.This is a variety show that combines food teaching and celebrity interviews, and it is estimated that the ratings will not be too low.

In fact, Li Wei was reminded by the doctor during the physical examination. On the one hand, Li Wei's stomach showed signs of illness. The reason was that Li Wei had eaten too much raw and cold food; The intake of protein and fat was too low, and Li Wei's nutritional balance was broken.

For the doctor's reminder, Li Wei has nothing to do.On the one hand, he is quite repulsive to bento, which is related to Li Wei's cleanliness, and the taste of bento is too greasy and salty for Li Wei; on the other hand, Li Wei has no time to cook.His time is only enough to make salads and simple western food, so Li Wei has nothing to do.Although Li Wei began to eat bacon, smoked ham and other foods to increase his protein intake under the advice of the doctor, the doctor still suggested that oriental cuisine is more suitable for the appetite of oriental people.

Seeing a large table of meals prepared by Zhou Xiao, Li Wei's appetite whetted immediately.He took a bite of the sweet and sour pork ribs. The ribs were covered with a layer of sweet and sour icing, and the meat of the ribs melted in the mouth, overflowing with meaty aroma.The pickled fish soup is very appetizing, and the fish meat is very smooth and tender without any fishy smell.

"Zhou Xiao, I suddenly wondered if you signed up for a chef training class during the self-sufficiency period?" Li Wei said while eating.

"What kind of chef class do you apply for? On the one hand, I am willing to learn this skill from my mother, and on the other hand, you don't know the percentage of our firm's commission."

Li Wei didn't know how to answer Zhou Xiao's words.

The Smart Agency is indeed very stingy, and the expenses for board, lodging and make-up of the trainees are deducted from the trainee's income.There is no fixed salary for trial trainees, only a monthly lunch allowance of 500 yuan.Unless you are participating in shows or dancing for seniors, you will have a little income, but after deducting the so-called office expenses, there is not much money you can really get.

Especially before your debut, you don't enjoy the share of all the commercials, records, and film and television drama revenue, but the firm gives you a fixed amount.Of course, this is only the income of a few outstanding trial trainees.The only income that the firm does not take is the red envelopes given by the company and seniors at the end of the year or on birthdays, but the regular red envelopes given by the company or seniors are actually not big, unless you are directly under the seniors and dote on you a little bit, it is possible to get the so-called A big red envelope of more than [-] yuan.

In the first five years of the group's debut, [-]% of the record revenue, [-]% of the film and television drama revenue, and [-]% of the advertising campaign revenue were the group's entire income, and the money had to be divided internally.After the five-year rookie contract is over, it depends on your popularity and the company's contract renewal.Of course, the popular groups can get good contracts, and the general group is slightly better than the rookie contract. As for those groups that have not made it to the top, they either continue to accept the C-class contract that is similar to the rookie contract, or they retire from the entertainment industry.

Therefore, many firms have made their debut for two years, and they dare to eat more than a dozen 20 yuan curry beef bento, and even consider the 30 yuan fried pork cutlet bento.Therefore, quite a few members with excellent culinary skills were forced out of the firm.After all, everyone knows the cost of bento. Cooking by yourself obviously saves half the money compared to buying bento, and you can also make a tooth festival occasionally.

"Your Shengli Youth Team should have renewed their contract with the agency. Isn't there any change? Besides, you signed a brokerage contract with Sister Fan Zhi alone, so there should be some increase, right? APEX seniors earn a lot of money." Li Wei said.

"Anyway, you can guess it, and I will give you a general idea." Zhou Xiao said while eating, "If I release the record as a member of the Victory Youth Group, then I will follow the contract of the Victory Youth Group. Now Shengli The juvenile group can get [-]% of the records, and this is because we were still popular in the past. My film and television dramas, variety shows and endorsement advertising contracts are with Sister Fan Zhi. I get [-]% for film and television dramas, and four for variety shows and endorsement advertisements. In short, the current situation is that there is no problem in supporting myself, but it is difficult to plan for the future family. My father said, or simply cancel the contract and retire.”

"Then is there any good job in your family that you can recommend? If it's really difficult to help your future life, it's better to leave."

Li Wei knew that it was not so easy to persuade Zhou Xiao, who was able to make it to his debut and persisted in this way, but Li Wei really felt that instead of working so hard, he might as well change to an easier job.Regardless of the glamor of the artists, the income of many artists is not as good as that of ordinary salarymen.There are even some unsatisfactory artists who just force themselves not to receive social relief. In fact, their income is far below the city's minimum living allowance line, and they are completely low-income groups in need of relief.

Li Wei knew that many girls who went to participate in the selection of DNH36 basically ate a bag of instant noodles for a day before entering the selection group.It is said that the class of each group in DNH36 is the epitome of the class in the entertainment industry. The selection group represents the artists who have already made their debut. Not only can they eat their stomachs, but they can also start buying properties; They are able to take care of themselves; the situation of NextGirls is a bit worse, it can only be said that they have more than enough food and clothing; FutureGirls are barely food and clothing.Pay attention to the members who are not in these groups, that are the poor people who basically can't even get enough food and clothing.

The current Shengli Youth Group can barely be regarded as UnderGirls. While taking good care of themselves, they have started to have enough money to think about the future.

"My father said that the son of his former family friend is starting a business, and his direction happens to be in the entertainment industry. I hope I can take the time to talk to him. After all, I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years. If his son invests in the entertainment industry, at least one Do you understand?" Zhou Xiao smiled lightly, "But I also know that I am not a businessman, what do you want me to talk to a businessman? It is you, I heard that your Qilin Entertainment is very impressive, even Sister Fan Zhi said it was much better than her Smart dream."

"Do you want to consider investing in me?" Li Wei suddenly asked, "Kylin Production and Kylin Brokers may not accept investment, but my current Hulu project and future Hongxiu live broadcast project will consider accepting financing. If you have a way If you help me get financing, I will give you a cut. And as your good friend, I also sincerely suggest that you invest in a side job as a way out. You also know that the life limit of an idol is 30 years old. Then In the future, they will either be eliminated from the entertainment industry, or they will become powerful. However, as the old artists of the powerful group grow older, the resources they can have are also decreasing."

After Zhou Xiao listened to Li Wei's words, he pondered for a long time, and then said, "Why don't I know? It's just that I don't know what to do. I'll help you with the financing. Guaranteed."

"I'm not in a hurry for the two investments. Someone will be interested anyway. It's you now." Li Wei said, "You and I will be 25 soon. How can we have the energy to talk to those fifteen or sixteen-year-olds?" Xiao Xianrou to grab the idol market? We should prepare for the future transformation while we are still online. Tell me, what are you interested in? Entrepreneurship must first be interested.”

Zhou Xiao thought for a while, "Maybe it's catering? But the catering industry doesn't have a high net profit, and it's very hard work, so it's not very suitable for artists."

"Then you are wrong. You only need to focus on purchasing and finance, and catering is the best entry point." Li Wei knows that there are many artists on the earth plane who have set foot in the catering industry.After all, the catering industry has a low threshold and there are many consumers. Basically, as long as they can make special features and there are no food safety problems, the catering industry is an industry that artists can do for a lifetime. "What do you think of hot pot? Basically, hot pot can save the expense of chefs, and if it grows bigger in the future, the central kitchen only needs to ensure the supply of soup base and dipping sauce; meat, fruits and vegetables can be purchased through centralized And entrust processing to ensure supply."

"Hot pot restaurants? Are these all over the place? What kind of hot pot are you going to make? Sichuan style, Chongqing style, Beijing style, Shandong style? Northeast style, Southwest style? Beef pot? Mutton pot? Dog meat pot? Seafood pot?" Zhou Xiao shrugged Shrugged, "I'm afraid there are more than a dozen famous hot pot restaurants in Donghai City alone? If you count those small shops, it is not a problem for Donghai's hot pot restaurants to break through one hundred."

"Yes, hot pot is indeed the first choice for everyone to have dinner, but why can't we break this rule?" Li Wei now thinks of the table-style shabu-shabu on the earth plane, "What if you want to eat hot pot alone? What do you think? Which hot pot restaurant can satisfy you? Especially white-collar workers who want to eat hot pot alone at noon, or a few colleagues join in and don’t want to make you drool. Do you think a small hot pot for one person is interesting? Especially, eating alone It’s especially easy to get full, and white-collar workers don’t have that high intake of meat. So in theory, the cost of a single pot is much cheaper than that of a big hot pot. At the same time, it can also make it high-end.”

It's not that Li Wei is bragging, compared to the food stall-style hot pot restaurant, the one-person shabu-shabu is all in the style of a petty bourgeoisie bar.
