My Entertainment Circle

After Zhang Pingan directly named those people who were doing things behind the scenes, Choa and Seolhyun were both shocked. Because the things that Zhang Pingan said those people did were simply not human, and it was not an exaggeration to describe what they did as animals. But when Choa wanted to say something, she couldn't say anything in the end.

Is it a distortion of human nature and moral degradation? No, this is survival!

This is the way artists survive. Those artists who come out of big companies don't know the hardships of artists in small companies. This is also the main reason why every time a big company publicly recruits trainees, everyone wants to go to a big company desperately. Choa, I have interviewed S.M more than ten times... just to stop worrying about what will happen after debut.

Although the competition in big companies is very fierce, once they are determined to debut, basically they can get good resources in the future and shine. This is a big company! Small companies may have less competition among trainees, but they have to face greater market competition and elimination.

And 'AOA' didn't have a smooth debut at the beginning. They went through two years of obscurity. So they know very well how miserable it is for an artist when they are not famous. They have to rely on their family for even basic living.

Artist? Haha, even eating, or even worse, toilet paper for shitting, needs money from their family. Can they still be called artists?

When many people hear the word "artist", they think of those people who shine in front of the TV, and they think of them making a lot of money, right?

In fact, those debut artists who are not famous are not even as good as trainees. Because if you don't make money for several consecutive years, the company will not give you money to rent a house, so artists have to consider renting a house by themselves. This is a cruel "survival" game, some are not even as good as office workers. After all, office workers still have a fixed income, but artists have no income if they don't have activities.

But artists have to find a way to survive, right? There are part-time jobs, which have been mentioned countless times in the show. Because artists have signed a contract for a certain period of time, they can only work part-time unless the contract expires.

Of course, some people would rather work part-time than do something weird. But there are also some people who always think of other ways to increase their fame, but no matter which choice they make, they are all for survival.

This is not a moral decline, nor a distortion of human nature, but a bloody reality! !

So even if Cao'e felt disgusted, she couldn't give an answer. Because life requires money, and the way to make money requires you to choose.

Those who have some fantasies and want to hype CP with someone to increase their exposure. Little do they know that people are waiting for such people to come and throw themselves into their arms. When you are calculating others, don't others calculate you?

.......

Listening to Zhang Ping'an's story, the private room became particularly depressed, and even Xuexuan became silent. Because she didn't expect that there would be such a person among the seniors she had met for a long time? Feeling absurd, she also felt a little angry.

Zhang Ping'an picked up the roast duck very calmly and wrapped it himself and ate it with satisfaction. A mouthful of roast duck and a mouthful of wine, this is life.

After Zhang Pingan finished chewing the roast duck in his mouth, he looked at the silent two people and said, "There are many things we cannot intervene in, because that is other people's life and other people's choice. Those who are willing to contact this group of people, they also have not so pure thoughts. So, who can we blame? We just need to do our best and don't care about other things. We are not the commander-in-chief, let alone superman. Especially for your profession, you only need to hold a heart of "mind my shit" and look at everything.

"

Cao'e listened to Zhang Pingan's words, she smiled and nodded and said, "Because worrying too much will only add burden to yourself. But those heartless people still live well."

Cao'e's words may have other meanings, but they are the truth. Because of what happened this time, the other members looked at everything that happened indifferently, but she was the only one who couldn't stand it. But even if she couldn't stand it, it couldn't change the ending. In the end, she just made things difficult for herself. So Cao'e chose the last way, leaving, so that she could achieve: out of sight, out of mind!

Seolhyun frowned as she listened to the two people's words thoughtfully. She said, "But..." Before Seolhyun finished speaking, she just said the word "but", Zhang Pingan said, "There is nothing to say 'but'? Do you think idols are a permanent career? No, including Girls' Generation, which will disband after the tenth anniversary. Uh... Don't talk about this now." Girls' Generation will disband after the tenth anniversary? Choa widened her eyes in surprise, and Seolhyun covered her mouth. Zhang Pingan said, "Don't be so surprised. Girls' Generation can reach ten years, which is already a legend among girl groups. And they are all thirty years old, and they must find their own side jobs. Whether it is acting, solo, or other things, they need to find a path suitable for their future. The group is just a stepping stone for you. How to survive longer in this circle in the future is the most important thing. Girl groups, ten years is almost enough. Just like the new generation now, BP, Red Velvet, Rabbit Gas, IOI... How many years do you think you can last?"

Cao'e continued what Zhang Pingan said: "It is inevitable for idols to be eliminated by time! Seolhyun, you will definitely continue to walk on the path of an actor in the future, so don't think about your teammates and think more about yourself. Because we don't We may be together forever, so I don’t have to feel sad if I leave the team.”

Zhang Ping'an said: "That's right, think more about yourself. The best example is right in front of you, isn't Lee Hyori senior's group going their separate ways now? Their group has developed relatively well individually. Think about it, there is also Yoon Eun Hye’s former group. Apart from Yoon Eun Hye, who can name the other members walking on the street now?”

Seolhyun choked up with emotion after listening to the two's words: "I just think that Unnie left at the best time for us...a little bit sad."

"There is nothing to be reluctant to part with. Didn't we spend the best few years together?"

Zhang Ping'an asked Cao'e: "How are your discussions with the company going?"

Cao'e said: "There is no result, because there is still one year left in the contract. However, I do not plan to continue to participate in the team, let alone stay in the company."

Zhang Pingan said: "You can directly post the news that you are leaving on 'INS'. This is a way of expressing your determination to leave!"

Cao'e nodded and said, "Well, if the discussion continues to drag on, I will do this."

Zhang Pingan nodded and said, "If you need help, you can contact me."

"Thank you PD Zhang for taking care of me all the time. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Because after Cao'e became famous, she appeared in many variety shows of Zhang Pingan. These were all taken care of by Zhang Pingan, so that's why Cao'e said, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Zhang Ping'an said: "No. I have never been disappointed with you and Xuexuan whom I recommended. Just rest well and live a good life. I wish you the best."

"Thank you, sincerely."

.......

After eating and coming out of the hotel, Cao'e got into a taxi and left first. The remaining Zhang Pingan and Seolhyun took the second taxi and left the hotel. On the way back, Seolhyun said: "Oppa, let's find a place to sit for a while."

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said, "Okay, if there is a cafe near your dormitory, let's sit together for a while."

In fact, Seolhyun still had something to say, but the driver was sitting in the front. So the two of them could only sit quietly in the car and look at the night scene outside the window. Zhang Ping'an said: "It's quite nice to calm down and look at the city at night. It's just that there are neon lights everywhere, which always makes people dazzled. ”

The driver listened to Zhang Ping'an's emotion and asked, "Are you a poet?"

Zhang Pingan responded to the driver with a smile: "I am not a poet, I am just an ordinary office worker."

"I think I've seen this girl somewhere?"

"On TV?"

"Hey, when you talk about it like this, it seems like you've really seen it on TV."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "Listen to the radio." This sentence expressed that they refused to talk.

The driver turned on the radio, which happened to be playing "Night Letter" by Li Zhien, and Zhang Pingan started humming along with the music.

After the song ended, Zhang Pingan said to Seolhyun: "This song is one of my favorites, and it is also one of her favorites."

Seolhyun nodded and said, "It sounds very good. I also like this very tender song. "Fine" by Taeyeon sunbae is also very good."

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Both of them are very powerful singers. In my eyes, they are equal."

Chatting about music, the two soon came to a coffee shop near their dormitory, a very small coffee shop. There were not many customers sitting in the coffee shop to rest at night, because at this time there were more people drinking wine than coffee. people.

Some light snacks were sold in the cafe. Zhang Pingan pointed to the menu. Seolhyun shook his head and said he didn't need it. Just when Zhang Pingan was about to place an order, he heard someone shouting: "Xue Xuan"

Zhang Pingan and Seolhyun looked back at the same time. Shen Huijing and Jin Chanmei from her team came to the coffee shop together. When the two of them saw Zhang Ping'an standing next to Seol-hyun, they quickly bowed and greeted: "PD Zhang, hello."

"Hello, since we have met, let's have something to eat together. Let's see, what do you need?"
