EXID, no one in the brokerage department of CJ Entertainment knows about their savings, which shows how depressed they are. Agencies and agencies are connected, and agents often sit and chat together in a nearby café while the artists record their shows. Some resources need to be exchanged between brokers. For example, today's artist originally booked a show, but because there was a commercial performance at zero hour, I couldn't go there, so the show couldn't open the window. Therefore, I will contact artists of the same company or the same level of other companies to replace them.

However, at this time, there were no less than 50 employees in the brokerage department of the huge company, and not one of them had heard of the EXID combination. This gave the brokerage minister a lot of headaches, and he had to tell what he knew: "EXID is a girl group launched by the New Shadong Tigers in 12. Do any of you know their personal phone numbers? Or ask their agent, I'm going to use it soon!!Give you 10 minutes to know their phone numbers. ”

The minister boldly assigned the task, and then returned to his office depressed. The employees present are stupid, you look at me, I look at yours, I don't know why their minister suddenly had a convulsion today?

At this time, an employee quietly raised his hand, and the section chief here asked when he saw this, "Ah, if you don't look for the phone, why are you raising your hand?" If I haven't gotten their phone number after 10 minutes, I'll let you walk around without food." ”

"I don't know the phone number of the EXID members, but I know their agent. Their agent is a friend of mine, and he told me that he led a girl group at the Sinshadong Tigers, and this girl group has been debuting for two years and has not had the slightest popularity. I think that combination is probably the EXID in the minister's mouth. ”

"Ah~~ Since you know that you don't call and ask, hurry up!!"

"Inside, inside, inside~~ I asked. ”

Just when the CJE&M brokerage department was all mobilized to find EXID calls. In EXID's dormitory, the five of them gathered in the living room to eat two packs of ramen in a copper pot, "I'm still hungry, I've eaten ramen for a week." When is this the end of a day? Let's have a trip, so that at least there is a little income. ”

They still have a lot of benefits here in Xinshadong Tiger. At least the tigers won't deduct their performance pay. Every time the performance fee is less, at least every penny of Tiger is clearly settled to EXID everyone. He never deducted a point, which Tiger did very well. Some agencies have a group of entertainers who have no income. I won't give anything, except to rent you a house, and maybe five people will live in a one-bedroom apartment. As for whether the artist eats or not, it's not for the company to worry about.

EXID At this time, five people can only eat two packs of ramen, and the maximum of two chopsticks for one person is gone. There is no way to do it, they have already debuted. They can be regarded as social people, not to mention how much money they make to their families, they have to solve their own food and clothing problems, right? Not to say that every month they are still asking the family for pocket money? Of course, it is understandable that you are underage, but even the busy people in their team are adults this year. So

When they don't have an income, they can't think of anything better than to live with ramen.

Xu Shuzhi smiled, "We still have two ramen to eat every day this week, and it is estimated that in another week, we will have no way to eat ramen if we want to." Hey" Now she has nothing but sighing and complaining about the difficulty of life. As the captain of the later members, she also wants everyone to have a good life, but now everyone knows the situation of their combination.

And their contracts are about to expire. They don't even know what the future holds, and they don't have time to think about their own 'tomorrow'.

Tomorrow's affairs, let's not talk about it. They can't even eat enough for themselves right now, so how can they think about tomorrow?

The five of them took turns drinking the soup base of the ramen, not to mention how miserable it was. This is the situation of Korean idols before they became famous, not everyone can stand on the stage in a beautiful way to accept everyone's screams and applause, and there is an unknown sadness behind them.

Each of them has a dream of a stage to be so persistent, but the cruelty of reality makes them have to bow their heads like life.

In the face of life and reality, you must know that a penny can stump a hero. Not to mention the women of this group. HANI TOOK THE LAST BITE OF RAMEN SOUP, LOOKED AT XU SO-ZHI AND ASKED, "ONI, WE HAVE 3 MONTHS LEFT IN THE CONTRACT, WHAT SHOULD WE DO NEXT?" Once again, they have to face their own life choices, which makes them extremely confused.

They themselves also know that at this time, their 'achievements' cannot continue to renew their contracts here in the new Shadong Tigers. The company's resources have been wasted on them, and it has not been effective, so who is willing to continue to sign them? Even if they don't need the signing fee, it is estimated that the Tiger side will dislike the expensive rent. For the five of them. The tiger can't get in and out of the light, he also has a headache, and he is also at a loss.

Xu Shuzhi clicked his mouth, tasted the taste of the ramen in front of him, and replied thoughtlessly, "I don't know either." You know, I've made my debut before, I failed, this time I still didn't succeed, and I don't know what I'm going to do next. Even I don't know if I want to continue to stand on the stage, it's too hard to be famous. ”

"Yes, it's too difficult to become famous, South Korea is a small place, but there are so many idols. If you want to become famous, it's not easy. The company's planning, publicity, strength, as well as the selection of songs, the strength of our singers, and so on, all kinds of factors add up. It's hard, it's really hard. We have missed the golden age of the girl group, and it is almost impossible to stand out at this time. ”

"Indeed, at this time, EXO led the men's group craze, and many companies are launching men's groups one after another, leaving less and fewer opportunities for our women's groups, not to mention that we still have Girls' Generation seniors and 2ne1 seniors in front of us, that is, Sistar, Secret, GSD and apink, etc. So even if a variety show requires people to participate, we are not qualified. Unless our brokerage company is like the three major brokerage companies, the background is almost the same. ”

Small companies have limited resources, and they are not famous, even if the Xinshadong tiger begged his father to tell his grandmother to ask them to come to a show to be a guest, it is estimated that their turns are edited so that they don't want it, so what's the use of wasting such resources?

After EXID filled their stomachs a little, their minds were able to move again, so they were all sad when they watched their poor five people eat two packs of ramen.

The dream, the stage, and their future are all bleak. At least at this point they don't see a glimmer of hope for tomorrow.

After some discussion, the five people collectively sighed, "Hey~~~", this lament was full of a lot of helplessness.

Just when they were melancholy and complaining, Xu Shuzhi's phone on the floor sounded a crisp ringtone, 'Ring, ring~~~'

Xu Shuzhi was too lazy to move and hooked the phone next to her with her own foot, why didn't she actively connect the phone? What if it was a call from the company? You must know that they are all people who are extremely eager to have a trip, so whether it is an agent or a boss, their phone ringtones are specially set up. So at this time, the most ordinary phone ringing can only make her listless.

Even if a friend called her and invited her out for coffee, she didn't even want to go out because she didn't have money.

After she hooked the phone, she saw that it was an unfamiliar number, "Hehe, the scam calls are really getting more and more high-end now, and the tail number is actually 'four 8' hehe"

It's boring, so a group of people just want to tease the liar over there and play "Hahaha, pick it up and listen, see if we 'won' the lottery?"

Xu Shuzhi nodded, picked up the phone, and pressed the amplification: "Hey, hello." ”

A man's voice on the other end of the phone came softly from the receiver, "Hello, may I ask if this is Xu Shuzhi's phone?"

"Well, I am, may I ask who you are?"

"Hello, I'm Lee Woo-ho from CJ Entertainment. ”

After Lee Woo-ho's self-introduction came out, everyone at EXID burst out laughing, "Poof~~Hahaha~~ Lee Woo-ho of CJ Entertainment?, why don't you say you're Park Geun-hye?" "Ah~~ Are you stupid, President Park is a woman, how can a man say that he is Park Geun-hye." "Now the scammers are getting more and more high-end, and I am also CJ Entertainment's Lee Woo-ho, I'm bah~~ If you are Lee Woo-ho, I will be Kim Tae-hee. "Wowhaha~~ Awesome, really awesome, now liars are not afraid to blow it up. ”

Li Yuhao is really full of black lines on the other end of the phone, and he was called a 'scam call' just by saying his name?

However, it's no wonder that they don't believe that Li Yuhao, the president, will take the initiative to contact them? Even if they have a job, then they should contact their agency through the people from the program team below him, not Li Yuhao, the president, to contact them directly. Therefore, Li Yuhao will of course be labeled as a 'scam call' when he reports his home (to be continued.) )
