Pani spoke with a very clear happiness, happy for Jessi. The two are very close friends, and both are developing in the same circle. However, although both of them are in the entertainment industry, their 'paths' are completely different, one is an idol and the other is a rapper.

Hiphop culture is a niche, and it has only been slightly recognized and sought after in recent years. But in any case, the 'profession' of rapper is not popular in Korea. can't make much money, a niche is a niche after all, and there are only a handful of people who are willing to pay for such free and unrestrained music. It's just that in recent years, more hiphop has been added to the K-pop elements, which has given rappers a little respite.

And, after various talent shows in South Korea came out, M TV immediately came up with a special hiphop talent show "showmethemoney". This is why people who really love hiphop have found a glimmer of light in this idol full of South Korea.

But in this country, it is difficult for male rappers to survive, let alone female rappers. Now that CJ Entertainment has created a show specifically designed for female rappers, Pani is really happy for Jessi.

Pani said to Jessi on the other end of the phone, "Sica, because last year's 'showmethemoney' attracted a lot of attention, and this year CJ Entertainment has planned another rapper show. ”

"Well, Pani, you know, I've already made my debut, how can I go to the draft again?" Jesus knows that it's impossible for the entertainment industry to design a show specifically for rappers, except for the draft. So, naturally, she thought of "S.M.T.M", which would be coming in a few months.

"It's probably not a draft. I don't know the specifics, Li Yuhao called me earlier, he asked me for the phone number of your agency, and I said that you are now a free person and have not joined the company. I didn't talk much about what the show was like. I'll send you his private number, and you can call him yourself. This show was made by him, so it shouldn't be a draft. ”

"Lee Woo-ho, the president of CJ Entertainment, hehehe, what is your relationship with your president? I've seen a few scandals between the two of you. Honestly, is it possible between you? Don't hide it from me as a friend, I won't talk about it everywhere. ”

"Hehe, another day. Let's talk when we meet another day, I'm in the waiting room here, and I'm going to shoot a show later. ”

"Hahaha got it, got it. ”

"Well, then I'll send you his number. If you are free now, contact him immediately, the show will be released in April, and the time is very tight. ”

"Okay. ”

After Jessi got Li Yuhao's private call, she called him without the slightest hesitation, as a star, she is a failure at this stage, because her popularity is really enough, and almost all of the people who know her Jessi at this stage are people who know more about hiphop in the circle, Jessi's talent is great, but it is limited to hiphop.

As a singer, she was also a failure. Because the sales of her albums are very dismal. There is no itinerary as an artist. The song has no sales, so all that remains is to wait for the singer to slowly 'disappear'. Of course, Jessi's family is not bad, and she can fully support her to continue to do the music career she loves. She has been doing feat lately.

So, this time, when Jesus was faced with the opportunity, she stretched out her hand and wanted to grasp it steadily. Pani had already vaguely explained her relationship with Li Yuhao on the phone before, so if she could succeed this time, she would be very grateful to Pani.

After Jessi called, the other end rang twice and then answered, and she immediately said in very suffocated Korean, "You, hello, Chairman Lee Woo-ho." ”

A very strong American accent came from the phone. Li Yuhao laughed when he heard it, and then communicated with Jessi in English, "Hello, you're Jessica.H.O, right? I'm also from the United States, use English." Your Korean hehe. ”

"Oh. Boss, listen to ffany say that this time you guys CJEamp; M has a new rapper show?"

"Yes, the show's format of rappers are against each other. This time it's all female rappers. Except for the MC, who is a man, the participants in the show are all women. So I would like to recommend you to the program team. Not sure about your itinerary"

"Well, I don't have any problems with my trip, I've been off for more than a year. ”

"Huh. That's fine. You ask the agent to contact the program team, and say that I recommended it. ”

"That me, I don't have a brokerage company for the time being. ”

"Well, if you think our company is pretty good, I invite you to join us at CJEamp; M。 Although we are relatively weak in this aspect of hip-hop compared to those who specialize in this kind of music, it can also give more freedom to your own music, and you can do what you want to do in your own music mode. ”

"Okay, I'll join you CJEamp; M。 ”

"Well, in terms of signing money, maybe the company can't give you much, and it is estimated that it won't exceed 2,000, but these will go according to normal. 7.3 Open. Company 7"

To be honest, Jessi's fame at this time, she signed with other brokerage companies, and it is estimated that she can't even get the signing money. Li Yuhao still looks at her future development, and still gives her 20 million. At least that would leave a good impression on her mind in the future. When she was not yet popular, it was Lee Woo-ho, CJ Entertainment, who was sending charcoal to her.

In the face of Li Yuhao's cheerfulness, jessi did not delay at all, she directly agreed, and did not even ask for a few years, "OK, I am willing to join CJ." ”

"Hehe, welcome, if you have time now, come to CJ Entertainment. I'll take care of all your things today. ”

"Ne, Ne, I'll come over here, I'll call you when I get to CJ Entertainment?"

"Yes, it's time to call me. ”

Half an hour later, CJ Entertainment's agency, Jessi, signed his name on the contract and pressed his handprint. A five-year brokerage contract and a signing fee of 20 million yuan are only 4 million won a year on average. For the future Jessi's hot Cheng Dù, this price point is definitely great value for money.

After the staff here collected the contract, they put the share that belonged to Jessi into the Wen Jiàn bag and pushed it in front of her, "Jessica, your agent, we will arrange it for you tomorrow." And your car, too, tomorrow. So, please come back to the company tomorrow. The employee ID card will be processed for you in a while. This is your signing fee, please take it. ”

"I see, thanks. Jessi collected his contract and signing fee, and the staff walked out. She smiled at Li Yuhao and said, "Thank you, Lee." ”

"I don't need to say anything thank you. But I have a little Jianyì, because your stage name overlaps with Girls' Generation's Jessica's stage name, in the future, in order to better let the audience separate the two of you 'Sika', I think your stage name will use jessi?"

When Li Yuhao suddenly said that the stage name issue, Jessi was also very puzzled, because she personally felt that there was no need to change her stage name "E"

Looking at Jessi's very unhappy facial expression, Li Yuhao smiled and explained to her, "Jessi, think about it, your stage name is Jessica.H.O." But as soon as Jessica is mentioned in this circle, everyone will immediately think of Jessica of Girls' Generation. And not you Jessica.H.O"

"After you participate in this show, our company will also contact you with more variety shows. Then it is possible that some hosts will compare your Jessica to Jessica of Girls' Generation. You're all in different fields, what's the comparison, right? So, I'll say you change your stage name and call it Jessi, anyway, in the United States, everyone calls Jessi, not Sika. Of course, sometimes an artist changes her stage name and her development will be different, in Asian parlance, this is called transshipment. Of course, you can also say that I am superstitious, and this is up to you. ”

The grinning jessi looked a little better, as Li Yuhao said, in the United States, Jessica's abbreviation is jessi, not ssica. "Hehe, President Li, do you still believe in these?

"Hehe, this thing is too mysterious, those who believe in it will naturally believe it, and those who don't believe it will not believe it. Anyway, it's not bad for you to change your stage name this time, and at the same time, your fans will call you in the future. It is also a line with Sika, a girl's generation. Your name as a rapper is Jessi, and her name as an idol is Sika. Wouldn't that be nice???"
