My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 581 The Future of Twice

In the waiting room, Zhang Pingan and Park Jin-young talked a lot, and Park Jin-young had to admit that Zhang Pingan, who seemed to be an "outsider", really had many advanced ideas. Especially when it came to the "future" direction of the agency, he saw it more clearly than anyone else on the market. It's just that he was a lazy person, well, in Zhang Pingan's own words, he was lazy and too lazy to take care of it himself.

So he handed over all the agencies in his hands to the original representative, and he just gave instructions on the future direction of his company, and he himself did not interfere too much in the company's specific daily life. A boss like him is really interesting. Just focus on the big direction, and leave the specific implementation to the representative of the original company.

But Park Jin-young also saw that in the past year or so, both BTS and the recently very popular Mama Wood have had a good momentum. This also shows that Zhang Pingan's approach is correct. A group needs a wholehearted team to do their best for it!

Park Jin-young really gained a lot from chatting with Zhang Pingan, but half an hour later, the show started the final rehearsal, and Park Jin-young didn't have to go out to watch the rehearsal. Because he would see the results when the official shooting started, but because of Zhang Pingan's arrival, he went out with Zhang Pingan to watch the children's rehearsal.

When Zhang Pingan and Park Jin-young walked into the studio, they all stopped chatting and greeting each other: "Park PD, Zhang PD."

Zhang Pingan asked Park Jin-young beside him with a puzzled smile: "Why do they all call you 'PD'? Is it because of this program?"

Park Jin-young waved to the children to signal them to continue their rehearsals, and then he said to Zhang Pingan: "It's not because of the program. In the past, the children in the company, the boys called me 'brother', and the girls called me 'representative'. Later, I told the children in the company that those born in the 1990s should all call me PD. I was originally their producer."

Zhang Pingan smiled and nodded. It turned out that this was the reason why Park Jin-young was called 'PD'. He thought that Park Jin-young was called 'PD' by the artists because of the appearance of this program, and after that he was classified as a 'producer'.

The two came to the high platform where Park Jin-young was examining them. Because the stage was built at a certain height, if the two stood below the stage to watch, their sight would be blocked to a certain extent, so it was much more convenient to come to the high platform to watch.

The one who was rehearsing at this time was ‘MoMo’. Her personal dancing ability was very strong. Zhang Pingan watched her dance and said with a smile: “This trainee dances very well.”

Park Jin-young said: “Well, she is a trainee from Japan. Her personal dancing ability is indeed the best among this group of people. But,

There are too many people with good dancing ability in the market. High dancing ability is not the key to becoming an idol. It is possible to become a dancer or a choreographer. Idols still have to test their comprehensive abilities.”

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: “You said that her personal dancing ability is the best among this group of children. Since she is the best, why not stand up? However, compared with ability, I value character more. Being an artist is a public figure. Their words and deeds represent not only the individual, but also the group and the company. It has happened that one person’s problem affects the whole team. Not long ago, a girl group had a ‘threat incident’.”

PS: The threat incident was that a member of a Korean girl group had some ‘communication’ with a big-name artist in private. Afterwards, he threatened the big-name artist with 5 billion won as hush money. Perhaps because of the exorbitant price, the big-name artist reported the matter to the police. If you don’t know, search it yourself. Big-name artists are those who have appeared in many film and television works. Um, let me reveal a little. The actor is called ‘LBX’.

Park Jin-young nodded and said, “Yes, I think so too. Strength and other things can be accumulated through practice, but what about character?”

“Character, it still depends on the person, some people~~” Zhang Pingan couldn’t help shaking his head when he said this.

Park Jin-young smiled and said, "A super popular PD like you must have received many 'invitation' proposals, right?"

Zhang Ping'an shook his head and said, "Not really, because most people know that I am just the general producer, but I don't do any specific related execution. Those cooperative programs are handed over to the TV station to manage, but we are the executive of "Living Alone" and no one who is not famous can come. So those who want to entertain me... probably feel embarrassed, right?"

Park Jin-young nodded and said, "Hahaha~~ It is really difficult to entertain producers like you, Luo Yingshi, and Kim Tae-ho. Because you make more money than most brokerage companies. There are more representatives than that. However, our company also has regulations that no nightclubs can be used for any negotiations. And the reimbursement of entertainment expenses for negotiations shall not exceed 50,000 won! "

Zhang Pingan looked at Park Jin-young and said, "Is that so? Doesn't it mean that I can't even ask you to treat me to a Korean beef meal?"

"Hahaha, it's okay for me to treat you privately, but it's not okay for negotiations and entertainment."

Just as Zhang Pingan and Park Jin-young were chatting, the Chinese song "Beauty Trap" by Jolin Tsai was played on the scene, and Zhou Ziyu was performing a dance on the stage at this time. Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Oh? Chinese?"

Park Jin-young said, "She is from the Taiwan Strait!"

"The Taiwan Strait is also Chinese!"

"Uh... Okay, let's not talk about it. What do you think of this Chinese guy?"

"What's her name?" Although Zhang Pingan knew it, he still asked deliberately. Park Jin Young responded: "Zhou Ziyu."

The Chinese songs at the scene stopped. Zhang Ping'an made a "stop" gesture towards the director in charge of the rehearsal, then pointed to the microphone on the stage and signaled the sound team staff to turn on the microphone. Zhang Pingan's few actions made the staff on site start to act according to his instructions. Although he was not the director of this show, all the staff still followed his request, stopped the music and turned on the microphone.

As for the trainees, they all stopped talking when they saw the movements of Zhang Pingan's hands on the stage. They started to look at Zhang Pingan seriously. In fact, even they didn't know why they paid so much attention to it. Obviously Zhang Pingan has nothing to do with them or their company. But Zhang Pingan always gave them a sense of convincing, maybe because Park Jinying was also there?

After the microphone opened, Zhang Pingan picked up the microphone and said in Chinese: "Zhou Ziyu!"

Zhou Ziyu quickly came to the middle of the stage and looked at Zhang Pingan: "Gui!"

He continued to speak in Chinese: "I don't know how long you have been in Korea, but after watching your performance just now, I feel that you don't work hard in practice? The training of Korean idols is quite strict. In contrast, The Taiwan Strait training system is basically a "hobby class". If you want to become an idol, you have to spend more time practicing while they rest and you practice. Compared with the previous performance of MOMO, it is really different, so the only thing you can do is to work hard. This show is a good opportunity to show yourself, so you have to show more of yourself. My advice to you as a Chinese compatriot!”

Zhou Ziyu immediately bowed and said: "Thank you, thank you PD Zhang, I will work hard."

"Although we are all Chinese, I can't give you preferential treatment, because standing on the stage depends on your ability! So there is no shortcut except working hard!" Of course, this sentence was used by Zhang Pingan It was in Korean, which all of them understood.

Then Zhang Pingan immediately switched to fluent Japanese: "MoMo-san, you and Tzuyu are both from overseas countries. So you have to work harder. Park Jinying said before that those who are good at dancing may not necessarily become idols. It is possible You are a choreographer. And you stand on this stage to become an idol, so your overall personal strength must be improved, and of course you must learn to use your dancing strengths. If Park Jin Young was not blind, I believe he would consider it. Yours, of course, this is just my guess, JYP has the final say. And what I want to say is don’t be discouraged even if you fail! Even if it doesn’t work this year, there will still be a chance in two years. After all, there are so many of you. They’ve all made their debut, but if they haven’t debuted, it’s just to gain experience!”

Of course Zhang Ping'an knew that Zhou Ziyu and MOMO would eventually become members of the group, but he didn't say everything like 'I know everything'. He just gave a more tactful encouragement, and at the same time, it left a deep impression on them.

It has to be said that Zhang Pingan's language switch, although he did not speak English, his performance in Chinese, Korean, and Japanese surprised these children, as well as the staff on site, including JYP standing next to him. The problem of his poor English was simply ignored. After all, he is a Chinese who can speak Korean and Japanese so smoothly, so English, the most widely used language in the world, must not be a problem. This is a subconscious thinking mode. .

After listening to Zhang Pingan's encouragement, MOMO said in Korean: "Thank you, thank you PD Zhang."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said: "Sorry, I have delayed your rehearsal. Let's continue." After saying this, he put down the microphone and said to Park Zhenying beside him: "I gave Zhou Ziyu and Momo some encouragement. As an outsider, it’s not easy to get involved in this circle.”

Park Zhenying nodded and said, "I understand." "Aren't you doing well in our circle?"

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "I'm different. I had a lot of money in my pocket when I came here. With money, it's easier to do anything. And they love the stage and want to be the love Damn it, it can be said that they have chosen the most difficult path!”

"Indeed, being an idol is the most difficult path!"
