My Entertainment Circle

Doing things based on interest may be the greatest happiness in life. However, they are not so lucky as artists. If you choose a job based solely on your preference, then you will have no job at all. So what if you are a first-line actor? There are still many people in the market who can replace Pei Xiuzhi. So when some opportunities came in, she had no reason to turn them down.

Maintaining exposure every year is what they must do as artists. After all, Bae Suzy has not yet reached the point where she will not be replaced if she does not take on roles for three years.

Do things based on what you like. When Pei Xiuzhi heard Zhang Pingan say these words, there was a hint of envy in her eyes. How many people in the world want to do things based on their hobbies, but how many people can actually do it in this bloody reality?

Pei Xiuzhi smiled and raised her wine glass towards Zhang Pingan. Of course, Zhang Pingan raised his own soda water. After signaling from a distance, the two of them took a sip. After putting down the glass, Pei Xiuzhi said: "PD, how many people do you think can really live according to their own preferences? As far as our profession is concerned, if we stand on the stage for a long time, even if we don't want to move, someone will push us. We're going forward, right?"

How many people can live the life they want? Faced with such a question, Zhang Ping'an just responded with a smile: "It depends on how you choose. A friend I know has already reached the middle or senior level in a large company. Later he resigned. At first, the company thought that another company was poaching, so it offered to give him a salary increase. Later, he said that he didn't want to stay in the city, so he returned to the country and lived a leisurely life every day. Flowers and grass, feeding the dog. Later I asked him if he regretted leaving the big city, and he just said that city life was too tiring.”

Zhang Pingan continued: "If a person is determined not to move, then no one can push him. So, everything depends on your choice. You get all the benefits that the stage brings you, but you don't want to With the spotlight on the stage, how is that possible? People, don't be too greedy. Speaking of this... I think of a friend who is an idol like you, Hashimoto of Japan's Nogizaka46. Nana Wei. Maybe you don’t know the member I’m talking about, but their group is very popular in Japan recently, you must have heard of it, right?”

Bae Suzy also followed the group and spent some time in the Japanese entertainment industry. Although she didn't pay much attention to the entertainment news there, she had heard about the popular girl group "Nogizaka" in Japan. After all, Nogizaka's development in the past two years has been so fast that it has surpassed 'AKB'.

After she nodded, Zhang Pingan continued: "Everyone in Japan's entertainment industry now recognizes that 'Nogizaka' will develop more and more smoothly in the future, and they will even surpass 'AKB' in the next two years. But just when this group is at its peak period, and Nana Hashimoto, who is the next single's "C", suddenly announced her graduation and retired! And she retired just after the release of this album! It feels like you appeared in "Architecture"! On the day you won the title of "National First Love" after the movie "Introduction to Science", you publicly announced that you were retiring from the entertainment industry! It was a retreat, not a rest!"

When Pei Xiuzhi listened to Zhang Ping'an talking about Hashimoto Nana, she said in confusion: "Why?"

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "I don't know exactly why? I just talked with her a little bit during dinner before, and she said she wanted to be her true self, not Hashimoto standing on the stage with a mask! What I said was mainly I want to say that the path of life is not forced by others, but chosen by yourself. Now that you are still standing on the stage, it means that you love the stage, so you are also doing what you like. If you like it, then keep doing it with a good mood, right?"

Pei Xiuzhi smiled and pushed back her long hair with her hand, smiling brightly: "You people who are PDs are all very good at talking. Our PD Park Jin Young is the same,

He talks in one set of words. "

Zhang Pingan raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "I think it's okay? It's just that you look very lonely sitting here drinking alone, so it's nice to chat with you. At least we are peers, so that's it. It’s not like you have no common language. By the way, you just said that you are preparing a new album. Can I ask the inside story? When do you plan to release it?

Pei Xiuzhi listened to Zhang Ping'an's inquiry and responded with a smile: "The earliest publication will be early next year, right?"

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Early next year? Then I will tell you the accurate news I received. Kim Taeyeon will release her first regular album early next year. Lee Ji-eun is also preparing for a regular album next year. It seems that she is also planning to release it next year. First published.”

The two SOLO kings mentioned by Zhang Ping'an made Pei Xiuzhi instantly make a helpless expression. Nowadays, in the music industry, the only two people who can be said to be absolutely invincible after releasing their music are Kim Taeyeon and Lee Ji-eun.

And now that both of them are preparing to release new albums early next year, isn't she going to compete with these two super music overlords?

Although Bae Suzy has many fans who like her, if she really uses her music to compete with those two top singers, she knows very well that there is absolutely no chance of winning. If she really misses the date with them, her return may be severely suppressed.

Pei Xiuzhi smiled and said to Zhang Pingan: "Thank you, I will bring the news to our company. I will call Zhien tomorrow to ask how her album preparations are going."

If you can't beat someone, the only way is to avoid it, which is basically what the music industry does. But your relationship within the circle must be good enough to get this information in advance. Otherwise, your company would announce on the first day when it will return. The next day, Lee Ji-eun or Kim Taeyeon also announced when they would return.

Once the comeback time overlaps, the songs released by oneself are likely to be squeezed out of the top ten! If the album that you have worked so hard to prepare is squeezed out of the top ten, it means that the album you prepared this time has failed. You must know that this is not only a loss of money, but also the hard work of the staff. Because the preparation of an album may take up to three months or more.

........

Zhang Pingan was eating late night snacks while chatting with Pei Xiuzhi in the izakaya. After more than half an hour, all the tempura ordered by Zhang Pingan was eaten. He drank the last sip of soda from the water glass with satisfaction, then looked at Pei Xiuzhi and said, "It's almost four o'clock, aren't you going home?"

Pei Xiuzhi looked at Zhang Pingan with a smile and said, "PD, are you going to send me off?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Let's go and see you off. It's nice to chat with you."

Maybe it was because she was drunk. When Zhang Pingan said to send her off, Pei Xiuzhi clasped her hands and said to Zhang Pingan: "Three grams of oil~! Thank you PD Zhang! Representative, check out."

"I'll do it and we'll do the math together."

"Then I'd like to thank PD Zhang! I'll treat you to something delicious next time."

After paying the bill, Zhang Ping'an came out of the restaurant with Pei Xiuzhi. After unlocking the car, he opened the back seat door and let Pei Xiuzhi get in the car. He did not let her take his co-pilot. Zhang Pingan knew very well that Pei Xiuzhi and Li Zhien were very good friends in private. So he wouldn't do anything beyond her limits, let alone take advantage of her while she was drunk.

After Zhang Pingan got in the car, he started the car, and then said to Pei Xiuzhi in the back seat: "Where do you live?"

"On Hyeon-dong."

Zhang Pingan drove the car towards Nonhyeon-dong, and at the same time said half-jokingly to Bae Suzy: "Oh? It turns out that top actresses all live in Gangnam District. By the way, has MissA disbanded?"

Bae Suzy said: "Well, almost, one of us left after the contract expired. The remaining three of us have no intention of releasing another album. So the remaining members of us are waiting for the contract to expire."

"When your contract expires, do you plan to leave JYP?"

Pei Xiuzhi sat comfortably on the chair and nodded and said: "I have such a plan. Now that the company's girl group has debuted and has done well, the company's focus has begun to turn to them. I...may switch to a company that focuses on A film and television development company.”

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "You missA still left a lot of classic songs."

"Not as many as Girls' Generation seniors! And the competition during our time was very fierce."

Zhang Ping'an responded with a smile: "Competition in the music industry is fierce at any time, right? It's not just your time, but it's the same now, isn't it?"

While chatting, Zhang Ping'an soon drove Pei Xiuzhi to her community, and then let her get out of the car. The two briefly said goodbye to each other. It just so happened that the gym that Zhang Pingan went to for a long time was in Jiang/Nan, which meant that Zhang Pingan brought Pei Xiuzhi back along the way.

Pei Xiuzhi thanked her and watched Zhang Ping'an's vehicle leave. She smiled and said, "Zhien, you have good taste. Get up and have a chat with her tomorrow."

Zhang Pingan came to the gym and smiled when he saw that the empty gym was being used by himself. Just as he was about to go to the locker room to put his phone away, a message came in.

The message was from Pani: "Are you up?"

Zhang Pingan replied: "I'm up. I just arrived at the gym. What's wrong?"

"After you exercise, bring breakfast to Taeyeon's house. There is nothing to eat at her house." Because Taeyeon has been out for half a month this time, the fresh vegetables in the refrigerator have already gone rotten. There is meat in the freezer, but I didn’t buy vegetables yesterday. You can’t eat barbecue early in the morning, right?

After looking at Pani's message, Zhang Ping'an replied: "Okay, come over in an hour!"
