My Entertainment Circle

The entertainment industry is really a very cruel circle. Whether it is South Korea or China, it is very difficult for artists without resources and connections to survive. This circle is not about finding a job in the workplace. If this job is not good, you can always get a living space by going to that job. No matter what happens, the worst possible outcome is to become a restaurant waiter.

In the entertainment industry, you have no connections, no backstage resources, and you can’t even get on the show. How can you talk about being an artist? There are many so-called entertainers in South Korea who can't even appear on TV shows, and the lifestyle of these entertainers is either working odd jobs in cafes or washing baking sheets in restaurants. At least for ordinary working people, they may become regular employees of the company and receive a fixed salary. Although salary earners may not necessarily live a good life, they still have the basic guarantee of life.

Artists working odd jobs may not even be able to solve their food and clothing problems. Therefore, for those artists without a backstage, most of their artist careers will come to nothing in the end. There are many such people!

Just like Cao Lu, well, well, Cao Lu is different. I bought a house in Yanjing ten years ago. Ten years ago, it was a house in the third ring road. Now it has increased in value more than ten times. Now it costs tens of millions. She really couldn't survive in Korea anymore. All she had to do was sell her house in Yanjing and go back to her hometown of Zhangjiajie to live with more than 10 million yuan. That little life was simply too comfortable.

Living in the capital with more than 10 million yuan may not be considered a wealthy life, but when she goes to her hometown in the prefecture-level city, the consumption level there... With a deposit of more than 10 million yuan, the interest alone is enough. Calculating based on the bank's most basic regular interest rate of '1.75', then in one year the interest alone will be '175,000' Hua Xia coins. If it is a large deposit of tens of millions, you can actually get '3%' Yes, this is simply the income level of a senior white-collar worker.

This is also the reason why Cao Lu can still live in Seoul calmly even though she doesn't have many opportunities at this time. This is obviously a person who has plenty of food at home and is calm.

However, at this time, Cao Lu had the help of Zhang Pingan. She worked harder personally, just like her teammate "Mad Dog", and seriously showed her own style in the show. Then the future will be easy for a while. Of course, after the "honeymoon period" between China and South Korea passes, it will be difficult for the Chinese people in the Korean entertainment industry. However, there are still two or three years in the future for Cao Lu to make some money. At least she can earn back the expenses she spent in Korea over the years, including the money invested in her face.

...

Facing Cao Lu's thanks, Zhang Ping'an smiled and gave up: "Okay, if you want to thank me, you can help me take care of them when you have time these two days. After all, they have just arrived in Seoul, and they are still very unfamiliar here. And they don’t speak Korean.”

Cao Lu smiled and patted her chest, as if to guarantee Zhang Pingan: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the two girls. I will take them to visit Seoul when I can. In fact, Seoul is just In that case, they are coming from Shanghai, and they will find that Seoul is not as prosperous as Shanghai.”

Zhang Pingan said: "Well, I will leave them to you for the time being. Can you drive? If you can, I will give you a car and you can take them around for the next two days."

Cao Lu shook her head and said, "No, I don't have a driver's license. Public transportation is very convenient anyway, I can just take them on the subway together."

"Okay." Zhang Ping'an took out a card from his pocket and handed it to Xiaoju: "This is the credit card for you. You will have one month's living expenses, subsequent rent, water, electricity and gas, and you will go to the company later. Daily expenses such as transportation expenses and communication expenses are all included, and the amount is 10 million won. I calculated that it is enough. "

When Cao Lu heard that they had 10 million living expenses, she

Her eyes widened: "Wow... Ten million won, this is completely enough. The middle class in Korea only earns about five hundred won a month."

Zhang Ping'an smiled and said: "The fees to pay for the house in one month are more than two million. Moreover, they go to and from the company every day, and sometimes need to take a taxi or something when they come back at night. They also have meals on weekdays and buy some snacks. It’s better to have enough supplies for daily necessities, cosmetics, clothes, etc.”

The money belongs to Zhang Pingan anyway. How he gives them living expenses is all Zhang Pingan's business. But Cao Lu on the side looked at the two of them with great envy. She knew that the agency would provide food and accommodation for trainees coming from overseas. But she had never heard of any brokerage company being responsible for the living expenses.

Zhang Pingan has given them the best conditions. It feels like he is raising a debut artist instead of a trainee.

Cao Lu can understand that the place they live in is more upscale. After all, both of them are foreigners who cannot speak Korean, and there is no Korean-speaking person living with them in this dormitory. Therefore, considering the safety of the community, Cao Lu is Understood. It's just that she didn't expect that Zhang Ping'an would even be responsible for their daily lives. This was something Cao Lu didn't understand.

Cao Lu said with envy: "Your 'B.H Entertainment' has always been so good to artists? Otherwise, if I transfer to your company after my contract expires, I won't get the signing bonus."

Zhang Pingan smiled and explained: "Your group has only been out for more than three years, and there are still four years to go. Are you thinking of changing jobs so early?"

Cao Lu said: "Your company's treatment is simply too good, so good that I envy it."

Zhang Pingan said: "Our company's treatment has always been very good. If you don't believe it, you can ask them when you have the opportunity to meet Mamamu or BTS."

Cao Lu said: "Mamamu, a girl group that has been very popular recently."

Seeing that Cao Lu was about to open the conversation, Zhang Pingan got up from the sofa and said to Cao Lu: "Okay, I'll leave them to you. I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first. You two will follow Sister Cao Lu today to buy some home appliances, kitchen utensils and so on. It's best to make a list of what you need to buy, otherwise I'll be too lazy to take it out for you later."

"Got it, thank you Brother An."

Zhang Pingan said: "Well, that's it for today. I have something else to do, so I can't stay for long. In the evening, if my business is not finished, the three of you can have dinner by yourselves. Remember to treat Sister Cao Lu to a good meal. If you have any questions, call me, I'm leaving first."

.......

After temporarily settling the two of them, Zhang Pingan handed the follow-up matters to Cao Lu, who currently had no work schedule. Zhang Pingan was still relieved to have her care, after all, Cao Lu's mind was very flexible, and she had been in Korea for so many years.

After Zhang Pingan dropped them off, he didn't even have lunch with them, and hurried back to Li Zhien's house. When he got home, there were countless unpacked small household appliances on the floor of the living room, and the TV, refrigerator, air purifier, etc. were all in place. Home finally has the taste of life.

Li Zhien saw Zhang Pingan coming back so early, and her mood became relaxed, because there were still many small appliances on the ground that needed Zhang Pingan to pick up. Well, Zhang Pingan was a hard worker at this time.

Li Zhien smiled and said: "Hey, you're back so early, have you had lunch?"

"No, I came back after sending them to the dormitory. Let's clean up here first..." Zhang Pingan rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work, and Li Zhien brought a bottle of water at this time: "Take a break, drink some water first."

Zhang Pingan took two sips of water and said: "I heard a joke, in fact, it's really hard to be a man, because when you are a child, you have to look at your mother's face, when you are in school, you have to look at your teacher's face, when you are in love, you have to look at your girlfriend's face, and in the future you have to look at your wife and mother-in-law's face."

Listening to Zhang Pingan's words, Li Zhien couldn't help laughing: "Why, do you have complaints when you are asked to do things?"

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "How can it be? In fact, it is more meaningful to decorate our home by ourselves, isn't it? By the way, has Liu Renna accepted the room?"

Li Zhien said: "Well, I accepted it. I have been busy decorating the new home with my family recently, so there is no contact. She doesn't live in the same building with us, The one next to where she lives." Zhang Pingan raised his eyebrows and said, "Does she live with her family?" Li Zhien nodded and said, "Yes. I guess she will give this house to her family after she gets married." "A filial daughter. What about you? Will you give this house to Xun?" Li Zhien said, "Who knows? I'm helping him study abroad recently. At the end of last year, I announced his name on the show. His classmates found out that he is IU's younger brother. Although he denied it before, he has been clamoring to study abroad since last year, and his family has agreed recently." Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "He doesn't have the mind to play, so it's not bad to send him abroad to study. Men, they always have to learn to grow up. Let him go out and try his luck, and learn how to get along with friends in that strange country. Deal with things, because only by learning how to deal with things can you avoid being beaten by classmates. "Listening to Zhang Pingan's words, Li Zhien said dissatisfiedly: "Ah, what are you talking about, what about being beaten?" Zhang Pingan said disdainfully: "Boys in school all over the world have a small society, and how can he survive in that small society alone overseas? This requires wisdom and courage. This is also a man's growth! " "What about you, have you been beaten when you were studying in Japan before?" Zhang Pingan recalled: "When I first arrived in Japan, I was unfamiliar with the place, so some classmates in the class came to bully me, a foreigner. So I had a fight with my classmates, and then no one bothered me anymore. Because I beat the kid who fought with me and broke his nose. After that fight, no one bothered me anymore. "
