My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 1048 Dinner

In fact, Pani himself is also very clear. If he continues to renew his contract with S.M., then there will definitely be a conflict with Taeyeon's positioning at work. This is inevitable. Because her music positioning is similar to Taeyeon's, and she is weaker than Hyoyeon in dance music. After all, Hyoyeon’s title of ‘Dancing King’ did not come for nothing.

If we say, the company has a good dance song in hand. To Hyoyeon or to her? Although Pani can achieve dance effects through a lot of practice. But will the effect of her performance be much better than that of Hyoyeon? It's not that Pani is bad at dancing. After all, Pani is still a girl. She must have a good foundation in singing and dancing, but compared to Hyoyeon... her dancing foundation is worse.

And after Pani's incident broke out, it had a certain impact on her career in South Korea. Under this premise, if the company has good dance music, Zhang Pingan feels that the opportunity for Xiaoyuan will definitely be much greater than the opportunity for Pani. As for Pani's voice, although it's not bad, it's still a step behind Taeyeon.

It's like singing the same song to Taeyeon or singing it to Pani. The benefits brought by the two are definitely different, because Taeyeon's fan base is larger than that of Pani. After all, Taeyeon has one of the largest number of fans in the team, and her voice is indeed better than Pani's. Ni is better. So no matter from which aspect, after having an excellent song, the company's first consideration was to give it to Taeyeon, not Pani.

Even leaving aside Taeyeon and Hyoyeon, the company's main focus is now on the popular 'Hong Beibei'. Now that their company has a very good ballad song, it must be Taeyeon's. But if there is a good dance song, it doesn’t have to be Hyoyeon’s. And it is very likely that it fell on the side of "Red Beibei" and used it as a team song.

This is why Pani said that her position will become very embarrassing after she renews her contract. You must know that after Pani released his first solo album, the revenue did not meet the expected results. So... the company is still hesitating about renewing the contract with Pani.

Pani turned to look at Zhang Pingan, wanting to ask Zhang Pingan when he signed her contract. He smiled and shook his head: "Forget it, our company really has never thought about inviting the distinguished Girls' Generation. Think about it, if you join our company, I give you the song, and then I don't give it to you." Mommy, isn’t this embarrassing?”

Listening to Zhang Pingan's rejection, Pani said with an unhappy face: "Haven't you never cared about 'Mama Mu'? Besides, haven't you given Taeyeon's songs well?"

Zhang Pingan took the mineral water bottle and said to Pani before putting it in his mouth: "Just because I have written songs for two people so far, Taeyeon and Li Zhien, this is something everyone knows. And I am also I said in the show that I only write songs for singers I like. If I don’t take care of you if you join our company, it will be even harder for you, because ‘Mama Mu’ is a singer who can digest any style.

All four of them are singers, and their abilities no longer belong to the category of 'idol'. So, can a good song fall on your head? After all, compared to sales results, they have not lost to Taeyeon in the past two years. "

Zhang Ping'an's words were straightforward enough, because he was right. If Pani were to compete with 'Mama Mu', it would be a big loss. The four of them can really digest any style of song, whether it's rap, singing, or even dance music, they can do it to perfection. In terms of sales, Pani really can't keep up with Mommu, even though she was born in girlhood.

So if she joins the company and Zhang Ping'an doesn't give her special care, then she will have no choice but to pick up the rest. But the problem is, once Zhang Ping'an takes care of him and he doesn't write songs like his mother, then this representative will be a failure.

Now he has neither written songs for BTS nor for Mamamu, so this is a state of balance, and no one will say anything bad about Zhang Pingan. As for Taeyeon and Lee Ji-eun, it was imprinted on their consciousness from the beginning. So Zhang Pingan wrote songs for them two people from outside the company, and none of them thought there was anything wrong. After all, the songs he writes are all lyrical, and it would not be appropriate for a group to sing such songs.

So if Pani joins the company, it would be totally unreasonable for him to take care of Pani and not take care of others.

Pani curled her lips and said, "What? It sounds like I really want to join your company. Now if you invite me, I won't even come! Huh~~"

At this moment, the cleaning aunts came out, and they said to Zhang Ping'an: "Mr. Zhang, the cleaning is done, please check."

"No, thank you." With that said, Zhang Ping'an picked up his wallet, paid them the money, and then sent the aunts doing hygiene away.

The whole home became very neat and clean after cleaning. When Zhang Pingan returned to the living room again, he saw Pani staring at him with very unhappy eyes.

Zhang Ping'an said with a smile: "Isn't this look too scary? Actually, I think you can choose a management company in the United States. Because the management of artists there is much easier than in South Korea. And the convenience of your English can help you You are launching more activities around the world, and there are many well-known creators in Europe and the United States.”

Pani glared at Zhang Pingan and said: "Yeah, there are many songwriters in Europe and the United States, but they charge very high prices. 2NE1's 'CL' is now developing in the United States. Do you know how difficult it is? After her album was released , she can’t even enter the top 100 list. To put it bluntly, most people in Europe and America don’t even know that she exists as a singer.”

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "So, your vision is narrow. If you sign a contract with an American company, you can only develop in the United States? Not necessarily? You have many fans in Asia, why don't you sign a contract with an American company? What about activities in Asia? Can we just keep it simple and hold face-to-face tours in Asia? It’s not much different from the stage, and you can still bring the same benefits to the company. , then the company will serve you diligently. If not, set up a company by yourself and find some American friends to work together. Don’t make things too complicated, and there are no English songs in the Korean music charts. You can’t do it on the Korean charts, but you can do it on the English charts.”

Pani listened to Zhang Pingan's words, and her eyes widened in surprise this time. You must know that the 'meeting meeting' Zhang Pingan mentioned was to use Girls' Generation's name to make money. This does not require a big stage, an indoor stadium will do. And it’s half chatting and half singing. This is much easier than performing at a concert, and you are very free to choose songs during meetings and so on, and you don’t necessarily have to sing your own songs. It doesn’t matter if it’s from a previous group or something that’s popular right now.

Pani was silent for a while, and the first thing she said was: "Why do you feel like you are cheating money when you talk about this?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "The profession of idol itself is to defraud fans of their money!"

Listening to Zhang Pingan's words, Pani said in a dumbfounded voice: "You are really straightforward!"

Zhang Pingan laughed, pointed to the albums on the wall and said, "Of course. Look, these albums in my display cabinet are all money!"

Throughout the afternoon, Zhang Pingan and Pani chatted for a while at home, slept for a while, and waited for night to fall before Pani put on the new clothes Zhang Pingan bought for her. The two left home sweetly and went to have dinner.

The restaurant is a Japanese restaurant that they both liked when they were girls. The two of them were sitting in a private room waiting for Taeyeon's arrival. After the afternoon sweetness, Pani became much gentler. She sat opposite Zhang Ping'an and smiled with her gums exposed: "I don't know why recently, when I was buying clothes, I suddenly saw no pink. Is it because of my age that I had the urge to buy it?”

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "The person in front of the camera is Tiffany, and the person behind the camera is Stephanie."

When Huang Meiying suddenly heard her English name, she felt a little unfamiliar and laughed: "Ah, I haven't heard this name for a long time. Now my American friends call me 'Pani'."

At this time, the door of the private room opened, and Taeyeon said with a smile: "What Pani, Pani's? Is it interesting to call yourself by your own name?"

Taeyeon walked in with a smile and sat next to Pani, opposite Zhang Pingan.

After Taeyeon arrived, Pani immediately became lively. She smiled and said: "He just called me 'Stephanie' and I said I haven't heard my real name in English for a long time. Now my friends in the United States call me 'Pani'."

Taeyeon also laughed: "Hahaha, when you first came to Korea, didn't you say your name was 'Stephanie Wen'?"

Huang Meiying pronounces her word "黄" in standard American English, which is somewhat similar to the pronunciation of "wen".

Pani pushed Taeyeon angrily: "Ah, Kim Taeyeon~!"

Taeyeon picked up the menu and said with a smile: "Let's order. I want a pork chop. What about you? Grilled eel?"

Pani's favorite eel is her must-order dish in Japanese restaurants. She nodded and said, "Well, eel, I want another tempura set. What about you?"

The two of them looked at Zhang Pingan. Zhang Pingan looked at the menu and said: "I want grilled chicken skin, neck meat, a sashimi platter, and a piece of soba noodles. By the way, I want some Japanese ones." Sake set menu.”

After ordering, the waiter went out to prepare drinks for the three of them. At this time, Pani said: "Taeyeon, I asked Zhang Pingan's opinion in the afternoon. I don't plan to renew the contract this time."
