My Entertainment Circle

After the executive representative of the brokerage company came in, he first greeted Zhang Pingan, the big boss. Zhang Pingan looked at the representative who had not seen him for several months and was obviously a little fatter and said with a smile: "Representative Jin, you may still have to pay attention. I’m healthy. It’s been a while since I last saw you. Why do you feel like you’ve gained weight all of a sudden? At least ten pounds?”

Listening to Zhang Pingan's joke on the representative, everyone next to Mama Mu laughed. In fact, many representatives of brokerage companies will show signs of gaining weight after the company becomes successful. After all, they are not artists, so they don't need to deliberately manage their bodies.

And on weekdays, in order to keep in touch with the network of TV station PDs, it is common to treat guests to dinner or something. So, these representatives basically don’t exercise, and they have a lot of social activities. Is it weird that they don’t gain weight?

Representative Jin touched his bulging belly and said with a smile: "Hey, I've gained a lot of weight recently, so I have to find time to exercise."

"I think no matter how much money you make, it is not as important as your health, so proper physical conditioning is the most important thing." Zhang Ping'an first said this to the company representative, and then turned his attention to Mamamu and everyone said : "This sentence is also for you, you can't make enough money. Your popularity is gradually rising recently, so in the limited rest time, you must know how to self-regulate your health problems. And when you debut The main thing is your singing ability, so you guys will definitely have a much longer acting career than those singing and dancing groups. In the future, when you have accumulated enough popularity, the company will also arrange for you to release a solo."

Hearing that Zhang Pingan had long-term plans for them, each of them had a heartfelt smile on their face.

Because after Zhang Ping'an invested in the company, their contract and other conditions can be said to be top-notch in the idol circle. So with the company's long-term plans for them, this sense of joy is natural. With such a good company and such a good contract, of course they are willing to stay in the company for a long time.

Song Le said: "For the future, SOLO, not Song Le, let's all work hard, right? Hahaha~~"

Mamamu is such a self-entertainment band, even if it is his stage name, Jin Rongxian can use it as a joke.

Zhang Ping'an looked at Mamamu who was starting to go crazy. He shook his head and then said to the representative: "Have the songs on Mamamu's comeback album been included?"

When the representative heard this, his eyes immediately lit up: "Oh? President, do you want to write a song for the children?"

Zhang Pingan's creative ability has been certified by the market through Taeyeon's solo album. There is also a song in Lee Ji Eun’s recently released album, which fans jokingly call the ‘regrettable title song’.

Why regret? Of course, it is not officially registered as the title song of Lee Ji-eun's album.

Zhang Ping'an shook his head and said: "I don't have any good songs for them. I'm not afraid of spending money when collecting songs. Just ask the well-known songwriters. As long as you give them the right price, I believe those songwriters will definitely have them in their music libraries. There will be some treasures. I still say, don’t be afraid to spend money. If you are willing to invest in music, the music results will naturally return to us. In the future, I can approve the production fee of one billion won. ! Just like Taeyeon’s album this time, it’s okay to take the entire team overseas to shoot.”

The production cost of an album can be as high as one billion Korean won, which is quite outrageous. With such a high cost price, you have to be careful about the quality of the music. After all, well-known songwriters charge very high prices.

Everyone in Mamamu was amazed: "Oh~~ One Billion, shooting overseas? Is it okay for the next album?"

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Of course, I have never been stingy about production costs. Because I am a producer myself, I know how much I have invested in shooting, so the effect reflected in the MV will definitely be different. Taeyeon For this MV shooting, S.M invited the styling team to go together, and the total cost was more than 700 million and close to 800 million, which still saved me as a director money.”

Although the MV was really beautifully shot, it still cost hundreds of millions of Korean won, which was quite painful to hear. Everyone in Mamamu once again exclaimed: "That's so much money~~"

Zhang Ping'an said: "It costs money to rent other people's venues, and the best thing to use there is a knife. Just renting that coffee shop for one morning cost 30,000 U.S. dollars, and renting a ranch for filming is expensive. It’s tens of thousands... and for this shooting, S.M specially purchased good drone equipment. These are all investments.”

The representative smiled and said: "Of course I know this. As long as there are good songs, I will definitely not be stingy. Next time Mamamu's album is released, I will try to find an excellent song to help the children get a first place." !”

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said: "Haha, OK, I'm looking forward to it. Okay, let's not stand here chatting anymore, these two have no idea what we are talking about."

Yang Yueyue and Xiaoju began to be confused for a while after entering the waiting room. Because Zhang Pingan and the people here were all chatting in Korean that they couldn't understand at all. They watched a group of them talking and laughing here, but they didn't understand the content of the chat or why they were laughing. The two of them were extremely depressed.

Representative Jin looked at the two very beautiful girls next to Zhang Pingan: "Are these the people you told me to come to study? Their appearance is really good. How about staying in South Korea to develop?"

Zhang Pingan shook his head and said: "The company doesn't have any plans for a girl group at the moment? They are both preparing for things in China. I can't leave them here, lest they have another problem after debuting here. When we return to China, fans will definitely make irresponsible remarks. Moreover, the Korean market is too small and the competition is too great. China is different.”

Representative Jin said: "Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say. Our company has recently made plans for a girl group. It will take at least three to five years for the actual debut? Good trainees now It’s very rare.”

Excellent trainees are definitely what all companies want to win over.

Zhang Ping'an thought for a while and said: "This time I am cooperating with you, you can look at the suitable seedlings and dig them out when the time comes."

Representative Jin immediately shook his head and said, "You can't dig it casually. You can't do things that undermine the market."

There are rules in the industry, and if everyone is in the same circle, they must abide by the rules. Therefore, trainees cannot dig up random seeds, especially good seeds.

"Yeah. Let's go out and chat and let them practice." Zhang Pingan glanced at his mother: "Would you like some coffee?"

"Drink, PD Zhang, do you want to treat me?"

The representative immediately took out his legal person card and said: "You are really, take it here..."

Who knew that Warsaw told the truth: "Corporate card? Isn't this the same thing as a treat for PD."

Mamamu and the four of them went to buy coffee together, and probably some desserts as well. After all, it was the representative's corporate card.

Zhang Pingan brought Xiao Ju and the two of them to the representative's office. After asking the two to sit down, Zhang Pingan said to Representative Jin: "You haven't been playing music programs recently, are you?"

When Mamamu first debuted, because they were a girl group from a small company, they didn’t even have many opportunities to compete in singing shows. After the song is released, there may only be one chance to play songs. With so many singing programs, maybe only one TV station can give them to them.

Because if the singing program deducts the advertising time, the actual broadcast time is only fifty minutes, and then deducting some interview time in the program, etc., there are only a dozen groups that can stand on the stage in each episode. The relationship between large brokerage companies and TV stations is very good. For a singing program, the big companies occupy 70% of the time, and the remaining 30% of the time is competed by small companies.

There are really too many small agencies in South Korea. Not to mention Mommy, wasn’t EXID just standing on the street performing without the opportunity to sing on stage?

Representative Jin nodded and said, "Well, there are no programs that are holding me back."

Zhang Ping'an said: "I have a good relationship with MBC. If I'm free, you can contact me more. It doesn't matter if you use my name as much as possible."

"As I know, I have been building relationships with the TV station recently, so there are more wine bureaus and so on."

"Take it easy on yourself. Even if you are trying to build a relationship, you can't ruin your health, right? Have you contacted their teachers?"

"The contact has been made. We have an appointment to meet at the company at two o'clock."

"Well, let's wait." Zhang Pingan also told the two of them that the teacher they hired would not arrive until two o'clock.

Mama Mu also bought coffee at this time and delivered it. As expected, they also bought some desserts. Of course, they also bought two cakes for Xiao Ju and Yang Yueyue.

Just when the representative expressed his dissatisfaction with them for buying sweets, Zhang Pingan's cell phone rang. He looked at the incoming call and answered the phone with a smile, and the representative also waved to Mamamu and everyone to indicate that they could go out.

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said, "PD Luo, what's wrong?"

"PD Zhang, how busy are you? Filming next week..."

"Next week?" Zhang Ping'an thought that he would go back to travel with Li Zhien next week, so he hesitated whether to tell a white lie...?

Luo Yingshi also heard that Zhang Pingan's hesitation was making excuses: "Okay, okay, I don't plan to let you follow him for filming next week. However, I have a schedule and hope you can participate in the filming of his show."

Zhang Ping'an was confused and said: "You asked me to shoot for the show at the same time? I'm not an artist, what kind of show should I go to shoot?"

"This program is not hosted by artists. Have you heard of the program "Un-Summit Talk"?"

"'Un-Summit Talk', isn't this a JTBC program?"
