My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 763 December (Part 2)

While Zhang Pingan was checking the work preparations related to "I.O.I", Zhou Xiaoqiong's agency gathered all the children who were still practicing: "Are you ready for the dance that the company asked you to practice recently? This is Because there is going to be a huge variety show for a girl group soon. This show is a girl group audition involving all Korean citizens..."

'National girl group audition' When the children heard this sentence, they all whispered to each other and let out shocked sighs. The person in charge of the trainees standing in front of them did not interrupt because of the children's exclaims. He was angry at what he was going to say next. In fact, when he received the news at first, he was almost as surprised as they were at this time.

The participation of people from all over the country means that after being selected, they will be crowned as 'national girl group members'. This will definitely have endless benefits for their future. Of course, the agency will also become The biggest beneficiary, after all, the Korean brokerage company takes the majority of the contracts given to newcomers!

After the children's exclamation subsided a little, the person in charge continued towards them with a full smile: "Okay, okay, children, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say. This time the national girl group's The selection is determined by the audience's vote. Who among you can become a member of the national girl group is decided by the audience's vote. And the competitors you will face this time will be all the agencies on the market. "

The children were once again in shock. It turns out that the competition of this "national girl group" is so strong? Originally, when he debuted in his own company, it was just a matter of competition among the trainees within the company. Who is better and who is worse is usually known to everyone. But this time the competition for the ‘National Girl Group’ is between the entire entertainment industry’s agencies. Let’s not talk about large companies. In fact, there are many excellent trainees in many small companies.

Maybe they are 'A-level' in their own company, but that's not necessarily the case in the market as a whole. Because with the expansion of the influence of Hallyu, more and more people from all over Asia come to Korea to study, and as a result, the number of outstanding trainees on the market has also increased. Moreover, this time the "National Women's Team" draft is competing among so many outstanding people, the competitive pressure can be imagined.

The person in charge continued: "The program produced this time is 'B.H Entertainment' PD Zhang Pingan as the chief planner and chief PD of the program. And this time it is a brand new talent show that has invested unprecedented funds to create. PD Zhang Pingan, I don’t need to introduce more about the production quality, right? He is one of the top three entertainment PDs in Korea, and you should have seen the music programs he produced, such as "Masked" and "Kan Sheng". The best music program, he is the first entertainment PD to put 'fairness' and 'strength' first."

When the person in charge talked about 'Zhang Pingan', Zhou Xiaoqiong, who was listening below, raised her eyebrows slightly.

Because Zhang Pingan's mobile phone number is still stored in her mobile phone. Maybe, it’s time for me to find time to contact ‘An Geer’? Zhou Xiaoqiong really wants to join South Korea's "National Girl Group" and become a member of it.

In fact, there is an unspoken rule of "going through the back door and relying on relationships" all over the world. And Zhou Xiaoqiong happened to have such a relationship... so there was no reason not to take advantage of it. Cao Lu, who is very popular during this period, publicly stated in an interview program that one person she is very grateful to is Zhang Pingan. She went to "RS" because she was recommended by Zhang Pingan! Isn't this a trust relationship?

Yes, the entertainment industry is a place where connections are very important. It is common for artist friends to support each other. Whether it is Kang Ho Dong's group or Yoo Jae Suk Line, they all belong to the top circles in the entertainment industry. Even the PDs are divided into a network of artists they often collaborate with. For example, Na Young-seok belongs to Kang Ho-dong's group, and Kim Tae-ho belongs to Yoo Jae-seok's Line.

As for Zhang Pingan, as a freelance producer, he wanders among various factions. He has no fixed camp of his own. He not only cooperates with Kang Ho Dong, but also has a very close relationship with people in Yoo Jae Suk's camp.

Connections exist in any professional circle. How to make good use of connections and how to monetize them depends on daily communication. And women happen to be the best people to make use of 'personal connections'. After all, women have certain innate advantages, and they themselves are very clear about where their advantages are, so as long as they make use of them... the 'depth' of the connections will make a difference. Can easily get help.

...

The "I.O.I" dormitory was built by Zhang Ping'an exactly according to the style of college dormitories around the early 2000s of China. Yes, it is the most old-fashioned bunk bed. Once the walls are painted, the bunks are built, and a comprehensive locker is ready for them to store their personal belongings. Of course, this is also the most economical way. As for wanting to decorate your room beautifully? Sorry, Zhang Pingan really never thought of investing so much budget into the construction of dormitories.

Although the children slept in the dormitory during filming, they did not necessarily come back to sleep every day. Especially Korean trainees are famous for how cruel they are to themselves when faced with the opportunity to debut.

Zhang Ping'an still clearly remembers that three days after the title song of the show was released, this group of trainees was given another opportunity to evaluate their ratings. In order to get a higher rating in the ratings, at least half of them will not go back to the dormitory to sleep at night. Instead, he stayed in the practice room and practiced crazily. When he got tired, he might just lean against the wall in the corner of the practice room and squint for a while, and then continue practicing after the sleepiness subsided a little.

This show was filmed in both Korea and China, but it can be clearly distinguished through the lens that the attitude of the Korean trainees towards practice is unmatched by the trainees in China. Well... to be precise, the trainees in China lack a sense of urgency.

Just when Zhang Pingan was visiting the dormitory, his mobile phone sent out a text message. Zhang Pingan casually took out his mobile phone and read the letter from "Yang Yueyue": "Brother An, let's eat Haidilao in Mingdong tonight. Zhou Xiaoqiong will treat you."

Seeing the news, Zhang Ping'an smiled and shook his head and said to himself: "You are really stupid. You are still helping count the money after being sold."

At this time, Zhou Xiaoqiong is treating guests to hot pot. Isn't it obvious that she is asking for something? Maybe there are two more scenes, maybe...but Zhou Xiaoqiong's personal development in the future is pretty good. And it's pretty, the key is that it's tender enough.

Zhang Pingan did not refuse and replied directly to Yang Yueyue: "OK, Haidilao tonight, are you and Xiaoju in the company?"

In the cold Seoul, it is quite good to eat Haidilao at night.

"Sister Xiaoju is practicing dancing in the company, and I am hanging out at 'S.M.TOWN'."

This is a physical store opened by S.M Company in Samseongdong for its exclusive artist peripheral products. Here you can meet fans from all over the world. Even if you are not a fan of S.M's groups, you will still go to such a large fan shopping store when you come to Seoul.

"Tell Xiaoju that I will pick you up at the door of 'coex' in one hour, and you will come together."

After putting down his mobile phone, Zhang Pingan said to the executive PD: "Well, let's get ready for the show. Notify the company that the official filming will start in a week. The children will not be able to go home for the next three months. We will have a holiday during the Spring Festival... We will decide based on the situation, what do you think?”

The executive PD said: "Well, if the filming tasks are tight at that time, they themselves may not be willing to go back. After all, it is the most critical elimination period at that time, so it is also a good thing to seize the time to practice for one more day."

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Well, next week, I will be here to watch the first day of shooting, and I will leave the rest to everyone. By the way, inform all members of our team that the equipment will be inspected three days before the shooting starts. Let’s have a dinner together! PD, you can book a restaurant here and have a barbecue!”

"Okay, I'll just thank PD Zhang for everyone here."

After coming out of the dormitory, Zhang Ping'an drove towards Samcheng Cave. An hour later, Zhang Pingan's car stopped on the side of the road. Yang Yueyue and Xiao Ju entered the luxurious Rolls-Royce in the eyes of many passers-by. Yang Yueyue got into the car and sat directly in the back seat. Xiaoju sat in the passenger seat.

After closing the car door, Xiao Ju fastened her seat belt and said, "Brother An, today Zhou Xiaoqiong sent a message saying that he would treat guests to Haidilao. I think there is something wrong. Is there anyone celebrating the New Year and the holidays? Why do you suddenly want to have a dinner together?"

Xiao Ju is slightly older than Yang Yueyue. So when it comes to certain things, she takes a deeper look than Yang Yueyue. After all, they both think Zhou Xiaoqiong is an extremely realistic woman. So today, in the name of 'inviting a meal', Yang Yueyue invited Zhang Ping'an to come with him. The amount of information contained in this was huge.

Logically speaking, Zhang Ping'an doesn't have the leisure time to pay attention to Zhou Xiaoqiong's treat, right? But Zhang Ping'an agreed today. There might be something in this that they don't know about yet?

Just when Xiao Ju was about to imagine in a crooked direction, Zhang Pingan said: "I recently planned a variety show, and Zhou Xiaoqiong happens to be participating in that show."

Hearing Zhang Pingan's words, Xiaoju instantly realized that this was the situation. She thought Zhang Pingan was a person who liked "tenderness".

Speaking of tenderness, Yang Yueyue is not bad in appearance compared to Zhou Xiaoqiong, right? Didn't you see Zhang Pingan take action against Yang Yueyue? It turned out to be a misunderstanding!

It turns out that Zhou Xiaoqiong's treat for dinner today was just to ask Zhang Ping'an to take care of her a little during the show...
