Korean entertainment life reset

Large companies such as SM often have a mature artist training system, which is even called an "assembly line".The singing and dancing of artists can be trained, and the image of artists can be packaged. The planning department designs a suitable positioning according to the needs of the market, and then fills in people, and at the same time spends money on publicity and promotion. In the end, there is still a high success rate.

Of course, small companies also like this stable model, but they have no money, equipment, or resources, so they can only explore their own path.Small companies don’t rely on many things, the ability of the planning team to find market positioning, the luck of finding popular songs, and the most practical thing other than that is the artist’s own ability.

His rap ability is one of the best among idols, and Zico, who can handle the whole album by himself and has a good response, is indeed a rare talent in a small company.

"Haven't you considered it?"

"If you can't bring the whole group over, it's not worth my consideration." Yu Zhihao said.

Even though Kim Hyun Ah and Woo Ji Ho have met relatively more times, the two are still friends of the same age, and if there are some more private things, it is still more difficult to say in front of the opposite sex.

When Zhang Xianju and Yu Zhihao went downstairs to buy food and drinks together, Yu Zhihao seemed much more frank than before. "Of course it's not because of any team friendship", Yu Zhihao replied, "My affection for blockb is not as deep as that of r, the group broke up as soon as it said, I still accept the fact." Ji Ho, Park Kyung, and Kim Kwon.There are also Jung Han Hae, who is currently active as a member of Lyric Group, and Song Min Ho, a member of Bom.Before debuting, Jung Hanhae and Song Minho left the company, and four other members joined to form the current blockb.

"Now contact me with a company that looks more reliable, and the conditions given are almost the same. One or two people with a higher sense of presence in KB will go there with me, and then add trainees from their company to form a new group", Yu Zhihao After stopping for a while, he suddenly snorted from his throat, "Why bother".

"Adding members requires running-in, and changing members is even worse. We will have a knot in our hearts, such as how much power I have as the captain, and how much responsibility I have correspondingly." Yu Zhihao doesn't want to talk about feelings. His feelings for the members of blockb are originally There are depths and depths, relatives and estrangements, it doesn’t make much sense to talk about it, and friendship cards are generally used for fans. It’s always a bit hypocritical for men to say these things. Yu Zhihao doesn’t like to show off to fans. The relationship is very good", and the like, let alone say in front of the seniors, "Even if I don't talk about this, I can now be blockb's rapper, producer, and newcomers, resources, cameras, which one can't compete? Which one can't fight? "

"blockb needs you, and you need blockb, right?"

Zhang Xianyu's concise and direct summary made Yu Zhihao hesitate for a moment, and then nodded, acknowledging this statement that kb is not a group with average strength. For Yu Zhihao, who has one of the best evaluations among idols, it is indeed very difficult to find someone who is as strong as him.

But the problem can't just be looked at in this way. Yu Zhihao knows that his sense of existence is due to his own strength, and he also knows that there are teammates' concessions and sacrifices.The company did not set a strategy similar to "Woo Ji-ho is the main supporter, and one person leads the whole group". In reality, Zico stands out. Ahn Jae Hyo, Lee Min Hyuk, and Kim Kwon who were only assigned three or four lines of lyrics never expressed dissatisfaction. The members of kb have their own tacit understanding in this matter.

Yu Zhihao didn't want to get to the bottom of the matter, he only knew that he needed an "idol" status, his slip of the tongue once brought disaster to the team, he made an indelible contribution to the team, and also received rare trust and support.Zhang Xianjiao is right: blockb needs him, and he also needs blockb.

"It's like preparing a 'friendship card' for the future. When it comes up, it's about changing members and reorganizing...I don't think they want to cooperate for a long time."

"That's true", Zhang Xianyu put the bought things on the cashier counter, turned to Yu Zhihao and said, he agrees with Yu Zhihao's words, some small companies do only do short-term business, and they start to collect money when they are popular. How popular such a company can be depends purely on luck. The typical one in his impression is ts, and mblaq's brokerage company is also one of them. A few bills were handed over, and then he tapped the donation box next to him with his fingers, signaling to donate the change.

After going back to meet with Jin Xuanya, they talked about the contract again. After Jin Xuanya listened to it, she came up with a new idea: "Is there a group that successfully changed the company before?" value.

"Great Country Man?" The group of Great Country Man is "xing", that is, the younger brother of the combination that Long Junheng was tricked into and still mentions as "the past is too hard to look back". After xing failed, the company launched the Great Country Man again. It still didn't get any better. In the end, the company's funds couldn't hold on. The men of Daguo collectively changed companies. The scale and resources of the new owner were not very good, but the combination was maintained and continued to work with difficulty.

"Aside from them, aren't they coming back?" Jin Xuanya added.

Zhang Xianyu's expression froze suddenly.

"We are going to come back, but I didn't take the name with me when I changed the company. I'm afraid I will change the name of the group when I come back," Woo Jiho said, "Also, when they changed the company... I heard some bad things."

"What?" Zhang Xianyu asked.

Yu Zhihao glanced at Zhang Xianyu strangely, a bit puzzled why his expression was so serious: "Those things... I just heard that there seems to be someone who has connections with the underworld, and when they change companies..."

South Korea's entertainment industry has a close relationship with the underworld, but this relationship is mainly due to the underworld investing in the entertainment industry to make money and laundering. The typical example is jyj and Song Zhixiao's agency c-jes. The brokerage company has dealt with the underworld, the artist's reputation is important, and the brokerage company should take good care of feathers on some issues, and there are always times when they have to cooperate with some dark forces.

But no matter what, the artist himself is directly involved with the underworld...

"How did you get involved?" Jin Xuanya also felt incredible.

"I've said it all, I heard it," Yu Zhihao spread his hands, expressing that he was not very clear about the details, "There are also unspoken rules, I don't know exactly what it is." Looking at the expressions of Zhang Xianyu and Jin Xuanya, there is still a little It's hard to accept, Yu Zhihao smiled, "I hope I won't fall to this point, it's really annoying not having a good team behind me."

When the new year is approaching, idols usually don’t rush to come back for concerts, and there are not so many performances to run, but they are not completely idle. After the Chinese New Year, everyone has a holiday and has more time to watch TV. Before their employees go to rest, they need to prepare a bunch of New Year special programs to deal with the ratings war.Among the young people, the more famous one is MBC's "killer feature" - the Idol Games.

"I still don't understand why you're here," said Tian Dong, with his fluffy yellow hair made because of the TV series, "Can't you refuse?"

"I don't know either." Zhang Xianyu's eyes were a little distracted, "You can still earn money when you come here to shoot arrows. It's purely embarrassing for me to come here."

He sprained his ankle while running, which is a tragedy in the world.

Tiandong smiled, helped Zhang Xianjue, and walked towards the lounge together: "That's not very useful...and I lost in the end." In other words, he rushed over from the TV drama set to participate in the archery team competition, Of course, the reason is not just that his archery level is the highest in the regiment. Tiandong, who is calm and silent, with little emotional ups and downs on his face, is usually not very eye-catching, but when it comes to archery, this kind of plainness is the same as "handsome". Draw an equal sign.

Even if it's not very useful, don't let go of the opportunity to make a meal.

"Your opponents are too strong, and each team is of a high standard," Zhang Xianjue said, "Just like our senior sisters, the whole team of Sistar is strong in archery, and Quan Zhaoxian alone can't do anything."

"Yes." Tiandong nodded.

Although the two were familiar with each other, they were not talkative people, and they didn't chat a few words. Tiandong accompanied Zhang Xianjue to the lounge, and helped him get the commonly used medicine for bruises prepared by the program team in the lounge. Drugs, so I left and went back to the set to continue filming.

As a singer who dances all day, Zhang Xianyu is very familiar with how to deal with this kind of sprain, even if there is only one person, it will be resolved quickly.He tidied up his things and didn't want to go out for a while, so he decided to rest here for a while, anyway, going out was just another place to sit.

Zhang Xianyu moved to the corner, pulled up his hat, and wanted to take a rest, but his mind drifted involuntarily.

He just saw a man who came to participate in the "Idol Games" daniel.

Obviously their relationship was already estranged when Daniel's accident happened, but why do they still feel sad?

Zhang Xianyu closed his eyes, and the words Yu Zhihao said that day rang in his ears again.

The shadow of the underworld, rumors of unspoken rules, all changing companies, Daniel's involvement in the drug trade, negative test results, and the court admitted drug use and drug trafficking at the same time...

Is there any connection between these?

Zhang Xianyu's previous life experience was not all smooth sailing, but in the three years before joining the cube, he followed the brothers in the dance troupe, and after joining the cube, he was backed by the company. He protects the artists under his hands, so although Zhang Xianyu has lived for so long, he still doesn't know much about the strife at the bottom of the entertainment industry.In this life, there is no need to say anything.

Because of the lack of relevant information, no matter how Zhang Xianjue thought about it, he couldn't put together the news he had heard.

He was thinking about it when the door of the lounge was opened again. Zhang Xianjue heard the footsteps a little bit heavy, and he knew it in his heart.

Oh, as unlucky as he is.

"You still have to keep running like this. What if the injury is more serious and affects your return." A male voice that sounded more mature said.

"Brother, it's okay." Another voice sounded very young and familiar, "It's just not reconciled, the first event after the group changed company, I have to show my face anyway."

"It's not worth the loss if you can't make it back to the stage. You still have a show to host. Even if the ratings are not good, you need to be able to speak English. Your background can't compete with others. Don't think you can keep it easily."

"……Yes."

"I'm going out to call a car, and I'll go to the hospital for an examination first."

"Got it, brother."

When the door of the lounge was closed again, the young male voice sounded again.

"It's luck that you can get bloody on stage performances. What's the fuss if you fall while running, haha." At the end of the meeting, I will summarize who was injured, and I can count as reporting back to the news?"

Zhang Xianjue already knew who it was. He pulled down his hat, stood up with his unstrained foot as a support, and limped a few steps outside while leaning on the wall.

The other party obviously didn't expect that there were people inside. He was surprised when he saw Zhang Xianjue, and he was also a little embarrassed because he might have heard what he said just now.But this didn't affect his reaction. He stood up while leaning against the wall next to him, and reluctantly bowed: "Hello, senior."

"No, sit down." Zhang Xianjue spat out a few words abruptly.

daniel...

He looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, and couldn't help but recall the frank and enthusiastic appearance of 20-year-old Daniel when Liang Yaoxie took him out three years ago.

Long before Daniel's accident in his previous life, he had already made a decision to distance himself, and Zhang Xianju didn't need to care about what choice Daniel made later.But in this life, he knew what the outcome would be, but he still did nothing.

This is of course not a wrong thing, rebirth is a surprise gift from the heavens, Zhang Xianyu has no moral responsibility to save anyone, what choice he will make depends purely on his own mind.But it was precisely because of this that he felt a little sad now.

After all, it wasn't because of dislike or quarrel that he alienated Daniel, it's just that Zhang Xianju didn't know whether to trust him or not. Without enough understanding and getting along with him, Zhang Xianju didn't dare to get emotional easily.So even though we got along well at the beginning, after realizing that Daniel had changed, Zhang Xianzhen decisively terminated more interactions—at that time, he had an almost paranoid pickiness, or in other words, almost cowardly prudence, towards the object of his affection. Except for the big members he met when he was a trainee, he has almost no entertainers who are not in the same company that he has a good relationship with, and that's why.

"Is there any problem with me? Senior." Zhang Xianyu looked at Daniel silently, with many mixed emotions in his expression, even if he couldn't distinguish them one by one, he could tell whether it was good or bad. Daniel will leave in a while, so he took the initiative to ask, no matter what it is, it should happen as soon as possible and end as soon as possible.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Xianjue said, but facing Daniel, for some reason, he felt a faint feeling of guilt, "Aside from the injury, you have other things that can be on the news."

Daniel was stunned for a moment, and then panicked, "This... what did senior hear?" He tried hard to calm his voice, but the drifting eyes betrayed everything.

"Have you ever studied Korean law?"

Speaking of this, daniel understood it completely, "I have seen it", he said with a wry smile, "but then I will definitely say that I don't know".

The surprised person was replaced by Zhang Xianyu: "When is the time?"

"Thank you senior, I will figure it out." Zhang Xianyu reminded him that what he did has been targeted, and it is illegal to act as a middleman in the drug trade, and Daniel felt that he might let Zhang Xianyu down. With a kind heart, "Also, senior, don't be a good person. It is not illegal to spread the news you heard, and it is not good if you get involved."

When Daniel said this, from another perspective, he promised that he would keep his mouth shut about what happened today.But Zhang Xianyu didn't have any joy: "A good person... I don't count."

Knowing that you will come to this point step by step, but never persuading or helping, until everything has happened, I used cryptic words to remind you that it may have been too late out of intolerance, sadness and impulsiveness, I am not a good person.

Daniel couldn't understand Zhang Xianjiao's words, but he didn't have the time to understand it.Faced with Zhang Xianju's selfless reminder, after thinking for a moment, he decided to give Zhang Xianju some explanation: "I can't turn back, senior."

Facing Zhang Xianyu's solemn gaze, Daniel could only smile wryly: "It's not enough to quit from now on. If I can become more popular, I'm afraid I can be protected by someone."

That is to say...Daniel back then was selected to launch...to attract firepower?

The first idol to be sentenced for a crime, maybe.

"In that case, it will be replaced by someone else's handle." Daniel's words were mixed with a sigh, he paused, and then forced his tone in another direction, "If there is enough time, I will try it. Maybe it's not that bad."

It was already difficult for Zhang Xianju to maintain his serious and righteous aura just now: "I don't understand." He shook his head, trying his best to suppress the tremor in his voice.

"Senior has never experienced it, so how can he understand?" After talking to this point, Daniel has long since lost the restraint of the younger generation when facing the senior, "But when I met the senior for the first time, the senior seemed to be very nervous. If you don’t like me, then you can see that I will turn bad.”

daniel said with a smile.

Zhang Xianyu was speechless.

"Don't do wrong things, senior, I can only remind you like this," Daniel said, "Don't do wrong things, as an artist, once there is one stain, no matter how many stains there are, it doesn't matter."

"I seem to be leaving first." Daniel heard the approaching footsteps, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Goodbye."

Zhang Xianyu stood where he was, watching Daniel walk out of the lounge with the support of his manager, watching the door of the lounge open and close again, his heart beating so hard that it seemed to smash his chest into pieces.

Obviously he chose it himself, why am I sad?

Zhang Xianyu took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

"Should I be glad I didn't become friends with you back then, Daniel?"

He wanted to relax his tone, but when he spoke, his facial muscles twisted uncontrollably.
