[Entertainment] Idol Meng Yuhu

Attending an interview is of course exhausting, however...

"The above, I lost the election."

In a potato soup restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, Yi Jia and Jiyou Mr. Fox are sitting and eating.Hearing this, Zheng Zeyun stopped the hand that scooped up the soup, and took a fixed look at Yi Jia.And Yi Jia looked back at him calmly, with a faint smile on his face as usual, without any loss.

"So in order to take care of my wounded heart, please treat me to today's meal, Zheng Leiou." You can continue to be cold, thank you."

Seeing that Yi Jia's complaint system is still normal, Zheng Zeyun is also relieved.He was stupid, although he knew that he should comfort her at this time, but seeing her expression, he felt that comfort was too much for her.

"Hey... But when it comes to the interview, I still feel a little uncomfortable. You see, I admit that I used acting skills to overwhelm people during practice, which is a bit bullying to newcomers, but... if she didn't push me to the ground, I would I won't try to press her hard, don't you think?"

Yi Jia gnawed a mouthful of potatoes depressedly, and then poked the rice in the bowl.She speaks fast as soon as she complains, and sometimes the language system in her head can't switch, so she speaks with some Chinese.Having known her for nearly a year, Zheng Zeyun knows her temperament.He didn't even want to ask what that "dun" meant, but just nodded while eating, anyway, he just needs to listen.

"It's good to have the resources to push. The opportunity I've been looking forward to for a long time was given to me privately by the teacher, but she was given by her uncle. Oh, I'm wrong to think so, um, it's not good to think so."

Yi Jia thumped his own head, spurning his own thoughts of not being able to eat grapes and blaming others for picking them: "In the final analysis, I am still not strong enough. If I act better, that role may be mine." gone."

"That girl got the role?" "No, she was also dismissed." "Then what are you dissatisfied with?"

Zheng Zeyun's cheeks were bulging like a big squirrel.Yi Jia propped his head and looked at his fox eyes, thought for a while, and sighed.

"I'm making trouble for no reason." "..." Zheng Zeyun didn't answer, but his eyes were filled with the meaning of "so you know".

Yi Jia was a little embarrassed by his look, and glared at him slightly annoyed: "Don't look at me like that, lower your head to eat."

[Blame me. 】Zheng Zeyun pouted where she couldn't see, and slowly drank the soup with a spoon.Yi Jia stretched out his fingers and knocked on the table a few times, then took another piece of potato from his own bowl and ate it.The potatoes I liked very much at first, but I ate them in my mouth when I was upset, but there was no taste at all.

"I'm a little impatient."

Yi Jia scratched his face and looked at the potato on the spoon that he gnawed: "I was born in 91. According to Korean calculation, I will be 22 years old this year. Now the average age of female trainees in class A is 17 years old. I look at them like I look at my own children... Don't look at me that way, I'm not kidding. There is a five-year difference between me at the age of 22 and my 17-year-old child. There is a five-year generation gap, brother! It means What, it means that the Big Mac I eat when I’m studying is twice the size of my face, and the burger they eat when they’re studying is only half the size of their own face, you know?”

Yi Jia drank a large cup of barley tea in grief, and sighed like an old man: "That's why I'm lonely. Do you understand the double gap in IQ and EQ?"

【oh. ] Zheng Zeyun nodded, indicating that he understood.Silently calculated the age of the VIXX team.Well, both he and the captain have a generation gap with the youngest Han Sang Hyuk.

So the youngest should call me "Uncle"?

Imagining the young adult-like young lady calling herself "Uncle Leo" with a shy face, Zheng Zeyun's neck felt cold, goosebumps were about to fall off, and he felt like shaking his head to shake off the terrible scene.

And Yi Jia still said to himself: "Actually, I know that the chance of my debut is actually very small. According to the rules of SM group promotion, the order in recent years is Dongshen, SJ, Girls' Generation, SHINEE , F(X), EXO just debuted this year...the company won't be able to release a new group within two years. And I can't wait any longer at my age...so I'm a little impatient, wishing I could have all the resources in my hands, mentally It started to get a little bit extreme."

[I was sober when I analyzed my heart. 】

It happened that the clerk came over and served a new dish.Zheng Zeyun took a plate of egg rolls and placed it in front of Yi Jia as a reward.Yi Jia didn't have much appetite, so he picked up a short piece of food with his chopsticks and ate slowly.

"Say, how about I change to another company?"

When the two were eating in silence, Yi Jia suddenly said a word.Zheng Zeyun raised his head subconsciously, and suddenly bumped into her dark eyes.Although she still had the usual smile on her lips, the smile didn't reach her eyes at all.

She is serious.

Zheng Zeyun was a little surprised.He has known Yi Jia for nearly a year, and he knows her well.This is a very stubborn person, she trusts her own judgment and choice more than listening to others to teach her how to do it.If someone pressures her with rank and status, she will of course be obedient on the surface, but once she gets the chance, she will definitely do it her own way.

So... not a whim?But she has been poached before, and encountering inequality is commonplace. At that time, she said with a smile, "My goal is to hang my poster at the gate of the company."But why do you want to change companies all of a sudden?

"Have you decided?" "Ah, I'm thinking about it."

Yi Jia looked away, played with the teacup and took a sip, with an unnatural expression on his face.Zheng Zeyun froze for a moment, lowered his head and thought for a while, then scooped up a spoonful of soup and drank it slowly.

After a while, he suddenly looked up: "Is there a choice?"

"Still watching."

Yi Jia is lowering his head and putting the rice on the spoon carefully, pressing it into a bulging arc, raising his eyes and smiling: "If I said that I have no choice, would you recommend me to your company, Leo?" "Our company currently does not recommend Mission plan." "Oh, what a pity."

Yi Jia nodded noncommittally, took a mouthful of white rice, and took another mouthful of soup.

"You are good at acting, why don't you concentrate on being an actor?" "Well...how should I put it?"

Yi Jiadun stopped and thought for a while: "Because being an actor is not the most suitable path for me at present."

Facing Zheng Zeyun's puzzled eyes, Yi Jia rubbed his ears: "There are many examples of Chinese people debuting as idols in Korea, but there are no examples of actors debuting in Korea. Speaking of which, if it weren't for the fact that I was under the sm No one will give me the chance to audition for the name of the company's trainee. But to be honest, SM company doesn't have the ability to promote actors."

As he spoke, Yi Jia shrugged his shoulders: "Although sm company is a star-making factory, no matter how much they want to open up the entertainment market, the entertainment industry will say no to them. The reasons are very simple. First, sm's threat is too great. Second, There are only so few resources for idol actors."

Zheng Zeyun listened carefully.Although he is not sensitive to things like these companies, but hearing what Yi Jia said, he feels relieved about his friend's unstable future.

Shaking his fingers: "In the end, it's just a word, the entertainment industry, SM has nothing to say. So for me in the SM company, acting is just to create a personal development path for my debut as a group idol in the future."

"What if you're not in SM?" "That's another matter. But, again, I don't think I, who is not Korean, can gain a foothold in Korea as a pure actor." "Speaking of...why do you always Do you think you want to debut as a group?"

Regarding this point, Zheng Zeyun always couldn't figure it out.He and Yi Jia met during the competition in the karaoke room. At the beginning, her song "To J" beat everyone else to take the first place.Although it was only a small event, her performance left a deep impression on him.From a professional point of view, if Yi Jia is in a small company, soloing is no problem.

He blurted out the question, but Yi Jia looked at him like a fool.

"It's okay to be solo in a small company." Realizing that he seemed to have asked something silly and sweet, he touched his head awkwardly and twitched the corners of his mouth.

"The timing is bad now. Small company solos are mostly rushing, big company solo... SM company doesn't need it at the moment." "Oh." "Hurry up and eat."

Yi Jia sighed.After going around for a long time, she still didn't have the courage to tell him her current situation.

Forget it, let's wait until... the dust settles before telling him.Yi Jia thought.

There is not much time left for the two to meet. vixx is in the comeback period, although it doesn't have much schedule because of its lack of popularity, Zheng Zeyun still has to go back to the company to practice quickly.

"You go back by yourself. It's very fast from here to the company. I can go by myself." "...Less leave, don't be criticized." "Got it."

Yi Jia waved his hand and thanked Comrade Zheng Zeyun for treating him to a meal without asking Jiyou to send him back, and left in a chic manner.

Walking quickly around a corner, she didn't slow down until Yi Jia was sure that Zheng Zeyun could no longer see her.There is no emotion in the eyes, and the corners of the mouth are relaxed.He stood in front of the intersection with a blank expression and waited for a while, then randomly found a road opposite to the SM company and walked over.

I didn't think about where I was going, I just walked slowly along the street.There is no need to hurry back to class, and it is not like she told Zheng Zeyun that she has half a day off in the morning.

Rather, from today onwards, she is no longer a trainee of SM.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon when the sun is shining.Yi Jia rubbed his eyes, licked his dry lips, put his hands in his pockets, straightened his back and walked forward.

"Speaking of which, in the nearly one and a half years since I joined the company, I haven't really visited here. I only know where there is food around, and which store can deliver food 24 hours a day."

Stretching out a hand and running his fingertips across the bushes in the flower bed by the road, Yi Jia laughed at himself: "Well, I have time to go shopping now. So, where are we going now?"

Puffing his mouth, Yi Jia let out a breath.Pulling his ponytail, he walked slowly on the sidewalk.At this time, Seoul has gradually entered autumn, but despite this, the weather has not turned cold, and the weather in the afternoon is still a bit muggy.But the cicadas could no longer be heard. Yi Jia remembered that when he walked back to the dormitory under the moonlight at night, the sound that broke the silence of the night was the sound of the cicadas.

After listening to the disappearance of summer's voice, I suddenly realized this, and my heart was a little empty.I'm really not used to it.

Then, without her SM company, will anyone not get used to it?

No one should feel the difference.There are so many people coming and going, there are so many songs to be sung, dances to be performed, and so many scenes to be rehearsed, who would notice her, a little shrimp.Hey...Maybe only Teacher Jin Mingshu is so sad.If I stood in front of her now, maybe she would poke my forehead and scold me for not being up to date?You have to pack up and leave without even saying hello. This way of leaving is not beautiful at all.

So unworthy of my beautiful face.

Putting his hands in his pockets and walking until he was sweating all over and didn't want to move anymore, Yi Jia turned into the subway station.Blowing on the air conditioner in the subway, I fumbled in my pocket to buy a can of lemon-flavored soda, and took a big gulp of soda to make my nose sore from the bubbles.She squatted down and rubbed her swollen calf.

After squatting for a few minutes, the people passing by her came and went in a hurry, even if they glanced occasionally, they did not slow down at all.Looking at the patrolman not far away who was afraid that she would take out a bowl and put it in front of him and cry, Yi Jia stood up silently, and walked slowly to the subway ticket machine.

I'm also embarrassed to hang around here again.Thinking that as long as he doesn't leave the station, it doesn't matter if he rides the subway back and forth, Yi Jia simply bought a ticket, yawned and swiped the ticket to enter the station.And the mood greeted the security uncle with a salute, very naturally ignoring the contempt in the eyes of others for her "goofing around and gnawing on the old".

When Yi Jia got off the elevator, he just caught up with the subway and issued a warning.Subconsciously, she strode up, but the subway door closed slowly in front of her, and she almost missed the platform.After repeatedly apologizing to the subway order officer who ran over, Yi Jia scratched his head and sat down on a chair beside him.

In fact, there is no need to rush, but I am used to rushing to do things.

When the next subway came in front of Yi Jia, she had already sorted out her mood.At this time, there were fewer people in the subway, and many seats were empty.He randomly found someone on the side and sat down, Yi Jia relaxed his back, lazily leaning his whole body on the cold metal chair.Grabbing the lever with one hand, he rested his head on it and closed his eyes.There were many times when she finished running Xiaolongtao and took the subway back to SM company for evening practice. When she was exhausted, she had to stand with her eyelids open and could not sleep, so as not to miss the station.But now, sitting on the comfortable empty chair, she was very tired from walking, but she didn't want to sleep at all.

I don't know how long I have been closing my eyes, when the phone rang suddenly.Bored, Yi Jia picked up his phone and looked at it, only to find that it was an unfamiliar landline number.She never answered strange calls, so she planned to hang up.But after thinking about it, there is nothing to do now anyway.Even if it's a scam call, she has nothing to be cheated if she is poor and white. Think about it, if the voice of the person over there is nice, it would be nice to let him chat with her.

When No.13 sounded, the passengers in the subway car with Yi Jia cast dissatisfied eyes.Smiling apologetically at the people around him, Yi Jia picked up the phone.

"Hi, I'm Yi Jia." "Ah, hello Yi Jia. I'm Wu Shujun, representative of DreamTea Entertainment." "Hello, representative Wu."

Yi Jia raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and put his right foot on his left ankle.He didn't ask how the person over there got his number, nor did he ask about the intention of calling, but just quietly waited for the person over there to speak.Maybe it was because Yi Jia's answer was too emotionless, the person on the other end choked, and changed to a more formal tone.

"It's very presumptuous to call you suddenly, I'm sorry. Let me introduce to you, we are a formal entertainment agency. We currently have two debut girl groups, Girlsday and Jevice, and a series of normal artists who participate in song and chart variety shows. All the activities that should be held can be seen on TV. Our office address is on the 108th floor of SH Building, 6-4, Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul..."

The male voice from the other end was very gentle, and Yi Jia could hear that he deliberately slowed down his speech.This representative is very proficient in introducing his own company, and the rhymes seem to be a bit jingle, as if he often introduces himself to others in this way and has memorized the introduction fluently.

Yi Shu suddenly felt a little interesting, straightened up, and glanced at the light board on the opposite wall.Coincidentally, the light indicating "Nonhyeon-dong Station" came on.

The office address mentioned earlier is Nonhyeon-dong, right?

Yi Jia felt that he should get off.Touching the upturned corner of her mouth, she twisted her neck and stood up.

"Sorry, are you still listening?" The person over there said a long list in one breath, and finally stopped to ask. "Yes, I am listening. Please speak."

Yi Jia has never been to this station.Tapping the route sign with his finger, Yi Jia put the phone closer to his ear, and strode up the escalator: "Mengcha Company, I know about it. What can I do for you?" "Oh ...That's right, I heard that you quit SM." "That's right." "Then, would you like to consider coming to our company for a try?"

Listening to the gentle female voice on the phone who was calmer than the president himself, Representative Wu of Mengcha Company felt a little stressed.Dream Tea Company is a small company.My own girl group is stretched in terms of manpower resources during the activity period, and of course they don't have much ability to build their own trainee system.But a brokerage company only has a group and no follow-up strength reserve, which is definitely not a long-term solution.

How to save money and effort to have better trainees?There are two ways, either digging or squatting.

Digging refers to going to a big company to dig trainees. The lead singer of T-ARA used to be a junior preparation, but was poached later. This is an example.But as long as there is a glimmer of hope, no trainee from a big company is willing to come to a small company.Even if there is someone who can escape, Mengcha can't afford that condition.

Squatting refers to scouts discovering and squatting to guard the eliminated trainees.The latter is more reliable. If you are lucky enough to find a trainee with good strength, you can make your debut with a little packaging.But... this also depends on robbing.There are very few good trainees who are eliminated, and the chance of being able to pick them up first is even slimmer.What made representative Wu Shujun of Dream Tea Company even more troublesome was that what they needed now was someone with strong skills, preferably someone with excellent singing and dancing skills.In this way, they can quickly fill the vacancy of the fifth member of their lead girl group Girlsday.

That's right, girlsday, who debuted only two years ago, ushered in the second withdrawal from the group five days ago.Because T-ARA member Hwa Young also left the group, their family was also listed on the search list, and the reason was also "exclusion theory".On weekdays, he wished that girlsday would be on the list every day. At this moment, he sincerely hoped that the search term "girlsday quit the group" would disappear as soon as possible.

"Yi Jiaxi, do you want to consider coming to Mengcha Company for an interview?" From Yi Jia's tone, Representative Wu vaguely felt that his usual rhetoric of poaching people was useless, so he simply asked the question directly.

God knows how ecstatic Representative Wu was when he got Yi Gak's information an hour ago.A trainee who retired from Class A of SM Company, and has been ranked first in acting class all year round, seeing this, he felt that he had made a big mistake.After making repeated calls to confirm that the information was not fake, he quickly called Yi Jia.

The moment the call was connected, Representative Wu, who had been rejected too many times, even thought of "I will immediately give you an artist contract if you pass the interview".

"Try it... you need an interview, right?" "Ah, yes, you need to come to the company for an interview." "Yes. When do you have time to interview me?" "Ah? Uh...anytime!" "Interview The address is the 108th floor of SH Building, 6-4, Nonhyeon-dong, right, representative?"

The female voice on the phone answered each sentence and asked questions. Just listening to the voice, Representative Wu Shujun seemed to see a girl strolling in front of him.Although the right to speak was in the hands of the other party, he didn't feel offended at all, but felt that he was winning.

Will you come for an interview?

"That's right, it's this address. Haha, Yi Jiaxi's memory is really good, I just said it once and you memorized it." "You're flattering me. Well, let me ask you, you just said that you can interview anytime Is it?" "Of course." "Well, I'll come for an interview in 10 minutes, can you represent me?"

Eh? ! ! !

President Wu was shocked.Recalling that I did hear the subway station announcement in the background sound of the call just now, and from Yi Jia's voice, I could feel that she was walking.But... she came just after making a phone call?

Could it be that he came to Mengcha from the very beginning?No, it's impossible.

Representative Wu soberly threw this impossible thought out of his mind.The person on the other end was still waiting for him to reply, he suddenly stood up and walked to the bed, opened the curtains and looked down.

A girl in a white T-shirt was standing at the door of his company looking up.

"...Yi Jiaxi, are you wearing blue clothes today?" "It's white."

Yi Jia raised his head, squinted his eyes and smiled slightly.

"You don't have to wait for 10 minutes, please come up now, Yi Jiaxi." "Nei."

He responded happily, and only after the other end hung up the phone did Yi Jia hang up.Taking out a tissue from his bag and pressing his cheeks, Yi Jia walked into the DreamTea agency that looked like a single-family house in the suburbs with his head held high.
