My Entertainment Circle

The entertainment industry is really a very cruel circle. Whether it is South Korea or China, it is very difficult for artists without resources and connections to survive. This circle is not about finding a job in the workplace. If this job is not good, you can always get a living space by going to that job. No matter what happens, the worst possible outcome is to become a restaurant waiter.

In the entertainment industry, you have no connections, no backstage resources, and you can’t even get on the show. How can you talk about being an artist? There are many so-called entertainers in South Korea who can't even appear on TV shows, and the lifestyle of these entertainers is either working odd jobs in cafes or washing baking sheets in restaurants. At least for ordinary working people, they may become regular employees of the company and receive a fixed salary. Although salary earners may not necessarily live a good life, they still have the basic guarantee of life.

Artists working odd jobs may not even be able to solve their food and clothing problems. Therefore, for those artists without a backstage, most of their artist careers will come to nothing in the end. There are many such people!

Just like Cao Lu, well, well, Cao Lu is different. I bought a house in Yanjing ten years ago. Ten years ago, it was a house in the third ring road. Now it has increased in value more than ten times. Now it costs tens of millions. She really couldn't survive in Korea anymore. All she had to do was sell her house in Yanjing and go back to her hometown of Zhangjiajie to live with more than 10 million yuan. That little life was simply too comfortable.

Living in the capital with more than 10 million yuan may not be considered a wealthy life, but when she goes to her hometown in the prefecture-level city, the consumption level there... With a deposit of more than 10 million yuan, the interest alone is enough. Calculating based on the bank's most basic regular interest rate of '1.75', then in one year the interest alone will be '175,000' Hua Xia coins. If it is a large deposit of tens of millions, in fact, you can get '3%' Yes, this is simply the income of a senior white-collar worker.

This is also the reason why Cao Lu can still live in Seoul calmly even though she doesn't have many opportunities at this time. This is obviously the rhythm of having enough food at home and not panic.

However, at this time, Cao Lu had the help of Zhang Pingan. She worked harder personally, just like her teammate "Mad Dog", and seriously showed her own style in the show. Then the future will be easy for a while. Of course, after the "honeymoon period" between China and South Korea passes, it will be difficult for the Chinese people in the Korean entertainment industry. However, there are still two or three years in the future for Cao Lu to make some money. At least she can earn back the expenses she spent in Korea over the years, including the money invested in her face.

...

Facing Cao Lu's thanks, Zhang Ping'an smiled and gave up: "Okay, if you want to thank me, you can help me take care of them when you have time in the past two days. After all, they have just arrived in Seoul, and they are still very unfamiliar here. And they don’t speak Korean.”

Cao Lu smiled and patted her chest, as if to guarantee Zhang Pingan: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the two girls. I will take them to visit Seoul when I can. In fact, Seoul is just In that case, they are coming from Shanghai, and they will find that Seoul is not as prosperous as Shanghai.”

Zhang Pingan said: "Well, I will leave them to you for the time being. Can you drive? If you can, I will give you a car and you can take them around for the next two days."

Cao Lu shook her head and said, "No, I don't have a driver's license. Public transportation is very convenient anyway, I can just take them on the subway together."

"Okay." Zhang Ping'an took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Xiaoju: "This is the credit card for you. You will have one month's living expenses, subsequent rent, water, electricity and gas, and you will go to the company later. Daily expenses such as transportation expenses and communication expenses are all included, and the amount is 10 million won. I calculated that it is enough. "

When Cao Lu heard that they had 10 million living expenses,

Her eyes widened: "Wow... Ten million won, this is completely enough. The middle class in Korea only earns about five hundred won a month."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "The fees to be paid for the house in one month are more than two million. Moreover, they go to and from the company every day, and sometimes need to take a taxi or something when they come back at night. They also have meals on weekdays and buy some snacks. It’s better to have enough supplies for daily necessities, cosmetics, clothes, etc.”

The money belongs to Zhang Pingan anyway. How he gives them living expenses is all Zhang Pingan's business. But Cao Lu on the side looked at the two of them with great envy. She knew that the agency would provide food and accommodation for trainees coming from overseas. But she had never heard of any brokerage company being responsible for the living expenses.

Zhang Pingan has given them the best conditions. It feels like he is raising artists instead of trainees.

Cao Lu can understand that the place they live in is more upscale. After all, both of them are foreigners who cannot speak Korean, and there is no Korean-speaking person living with them in this dormitory. Therefore, considering the safety of the community, Cao Lu is Understood. It's just that she didn't expect that Zhang Ping'an would even be responsible for their daily lives. This was something Cao Lu didn't understand.

Cao Lu said with envy: "Your 'B.H Entertainment' has always been so good to artists? Otherwise, if I transfer to your company after my contract expires, I won't get the signing bonus."

Zhang Pingan smiled and explained: "Your group has only been out for more than three years, and there are still four years to go. Are you thinking of changing jobs so early?"

Cao Lu said: "Your company's treatment is simply too good. It's so good that I'm even envious."

Zhang Pingan said: "Our company's treatment has always been very good. If you don't believe it, you can ask Mamamu or BTS when you have the chance to meet them."

Cao Lu said: "Mama Mu, they are a girl group that has been a hot topic recently."

Seeing that Cao Lu was about to start talking, Zhang Pingan stood up from the sofa and said to Cao Lu: "Okay, I'll leave them to you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You two will follow Sister Cao Lu today and buy some together. Home appliances, kitchen utensils, etc. It’s best to make a list of what you need to buy, otherwise I won’t be able to take it out for you and throw it away later.”

"I know, thank you An Geer."

Zhang Pingan said: "Well, let's do this for today. I still have something to do, and I really can't stay long. In the evening, if my affairs are not over, the three of you can eat by yourself. Remember, treat Sister Cao Lu to a good meal. Yes. Just call me if you have any questions and leave first.”

.......

After temporarily settling down the two of them, Zhang Pingan left the follow-up matters to Cao Lu, who currently had no work schedule to take care of. Zhang Ping'an felt relieved to have her take care of him. After all, Cao Lu had a very flexible mind and had been living in Korea for so many years.

After Zhang Pingan dropped them off, he didn't even have lunch with them, and hurried back to Li Zhien's house. When he got home, there were countless unpacked small household appliances on the floor of the living room, including TVs, refrigerators, air purifiers, etc. Wait until everything is in place. Home finally has the flavor of life.

Seeing that Zhang Pingan had come back so early, Li Zhien felt relaxed, because there were still many small household appliances on the ground that Zhang Pingan needed to pick up. Well, Zhang Pingan is a hard worker at this time.

Li Zhien smiled and said, "Hey, you're back so early. Have you had lunch?"

"No, I came back after sending them to the dormitory. Let's tidy up here first..." Zhang Ping'an rolled up his sleeves and got ready to do things. At this time, Li Zhien brought a bottle of water: "Have a rest and drink some first." Water."

Zhang Ping'an took two sips of water and said: "I heard a joke. It's actually very difficult to be a man, because when I was a child, I had to look at my mother's face, when I was studying, I had to look at my teacher's face, and when I was in love, I had to look at my girlfriend. His face will depend on his wife and mother-in-law’s face in the future.”

Listening to Zhang Pingan's words, Li Zhien couldn't help but laugh: "Why, do you complain when I ask you to do something?"

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "How can you? In fact, it is more meaningful to decorate our home with your own hands, isn't it? By the way, has Yoo In Na taken over the house?"

Li Zhien said: "Yes, I took it. I have been busy decorating a new home with my family recently, so I haven't contacted her. She doesn't live in the building with us, but the building next to hers."

Zhang Pingan raised his eyebrows and said, "She lives with her family?"

Li Zhien nodded and said, "Yes. She will probably get married in the future, and she will prepare this house for her family."

"My filial daughter. What about you, do you want to give this house to Xun?"

Li Zhien said: "Who knows, I have been handling the matter of studying abroad for Ah recently. At the end of last year, I revealed his name on the show. He was discovered by his classmates that he is IU's younger brother, even though he denied it in every possible way before. , but...so he has been clamoring to study abroad since last year, and his family recently agreed. "

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "He has no intention of playing, so it's good to send him out to study. As a man, you have to learn to grow. You have to let him go out on his own and learn how to interact with others in that strange country. Get along with friends, because only if you learn how to behave will you not be beaten by your classmates.”

Listening to Zhang Pingan's words, Li Zhien said dissatisfied: "Ah, what are you talking about? Why are you being beaten?"

Zhang Ping'an said disdainfully: "Boys in school all over the world have a small society. How can he survive in that small society alone overseas? This requires wisdom and courage. This is also a part of the growth of a man. !”

"What about you, were you beaten when you were studying in Japan?"

Zhang Ping'an recalled: "When I first arrived in Japan, I was unfamiliar with the place, so some classmates in the class came to bully me, a foreigner. So I had a fight with my classmates, and then no one came to trouble me again. Because I broke the nose of the kid who fought with me, and no one came to trouble me again."
