"So, he opened this small store near your company? With such a high rent here in Apguting, how much income can such a small clothing store have......

Liu Kewei looked back frequently as he walked, and couldn't help but ask more curiously. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the tea house was selected before, Rao Hong and Cai Pingping also talked to Liu Kewei about the rent standard in Jiangnan (District) after learning about it, so he had a clear understanding of it.

Don't look at the store just now, the rent for a year may cost hundreds of thousands of yuan if it is converted into RMB.

This is the area around Apgujeong! 6,700,000 won per square meter a month probably didn't run......

There are only forty or fifty items in the store, how much profit can be made in a month?

It is estimated that after deducting expenses, it may not be much better than going to a restaurant to work for others, right?

"It's okay, Lit, Siyuan and Xiche are quite familiar with him, and they will bring a few of their friends to take care of his business every once in a while, and that guy has been a public trainee in the company for a few years before, and he is also a bit appealing in the fan circle, there are about thirty or forty fans, and these people will also visit his store from time to time, so it's not too difficult. ”

Dana, who is tall and long-legged, walked very fast, and explained a few words without looking back.

It doesn't sound like a trainee who has not debuted to have his own fans. In fact, this situation is not uncommon in South Korea.

The so-called "public trainees" are trainees whose information and materials have been disclosed on the Internet by entertainment economic companies, and often have their own SNS (collective name for online social platform) accounts, which can communicate directly with fans.

Don't talk about others, let's just say that Jessica attracted the attention of many fans because she often uploaded her photos on SNS (including the CY hut mentioned earlier) before her debut.

"It's a pity......" Liu Kewei didn't know what to say, shook his head, and muttered to himself.

"There's nothing wrong with that, even if he does make his debut. You may not be able to make much money. Most of the artists who have debuted in the company may not be able to live a better life than him......"

Dana's understatement made Liu Kewei stunned.

I know that most Korean artists earn very little, but what you say is too outrageous, right?

Toshin, Superjunior, and Young are all idol groups that can be ranked among the best in Asia!

Even if the two combinations of shinee and function will be less popular than the brothers and sisters, it won't come to the point you said, right?

Liu Kewei didn't say anything for a while, Dana glanced back at him, and when he saw that his face was full of questions, he said, "What? Don't you believe it? What do you think most artists should live like?"

"Look at the idols in your company, every time they appear in public, they wear all kinds of fashion brands, and there are bodyguard assistants who hug them when they go out. Judging by the consumption power and personal assets of our **** people, there is always a net worth of at least one million yuan, right?"

Liu Kewei replied as a matter of course.

"Bah, you are so naïve. There are many well-known artists in the company, and usually the income is not enough to spend until the end of the month. There's always a week or two of a month to get by. Our life is as good as you think......"

Dana did not hesitate to scoff at Liu Kewei's speculation.

"Then where do they get so much money to buy designer clothes?"

"You don't know this, do you? Some of the artist's costumes are provided by the company, and some are sponsored by the clothing company......

Dana's words are really not alarmist.

Among the artists under S.M., Zheng Chunyuan's popularity is very high, right?

not only brought out Kim Jun-so, Kim Jae-joong and Taeyeon, three students who can be regarded as excellent in Chinese singing among all the idols in Korea. He has also released three solo albums, released more than 20 singles or OSTs, and held a solo concert the year before last......

Even so, his personal assets are probably more than 100 million won. It's also an ordinary Daewoo car.

Regardless of salary, only counting the R&D dividends of the first two signing fees of "Six Tribulations", the figures Liu Kewei got can catch up with half of his net worth.

By the way. Liu Kewei's Hyundai, which is nominally a studio official car, is also more upscale than Zheng Chunyuan's car......

The reason for this is simple, because he has never opened up overseas markets.

An artist who sticks to the Korean entertainment industry. Naturally, the income is not much higher, after all, the cake is so big.

Liu Kewei opened his mouth wide in a daze, and it was difficult to close it anymore. With a look of disbelief, he followed Dana through several streets and alleys to the door of an inconspicuous gray old residential building.

"This is where the company's trainees train. Dana explained simply.

"Isn't the practice room for your company's trainees in the basement of the company's building?"

As a young man who has paid attention to related variety shows, Liu Kewei feels that his "common sense" has once again been subverted by DANA.

"Ha, you know a lot of details, but unfortunately you only know one thing, not the other. There are indeed some trainees in the practice rooms in the basement of the company, but only those trainees who have been determined to be ready to make their debut are eligible for this - most trainees are not allowed to enter the company's building without permission. Besides, the company trains hundreds of trainees all year round, and the few basements can't fit at all. ”

Dana said as she walked through the door of the old residential building.

There is a desk in the aisle inside the door, behind which sit two security guards. When they saw Dana enter the door, they quickly got up to greet them.

"You don't need to greet me, I'll just bring a student over to see what's going on here. ”

Dana waved his hand and motioned for them to continue their cameo appearances as Shen Tu and Yu Lei (the two door gods in ancient Chinese mythology), leading Liu Kewei to the stairs in the distance.

There was a strange smell in the whole building, like an old musty smell mixed with a strong smell of sweat, indescribably pungent and unpleasant, Liu Kewei couldn't help but cover his nose, but Dana seemed to be accustomed to this smell, and he didn't react at all.

"I used to be in this building too. I have practiced for three years. ”

Casually looking at the various postmodern graffiti on the walls of the aisle, with an indissoluble look of nostalgia in her eyes, Dana said as if talking to herself.

went up to the second floor, Dana casually pushed open a door in the corridor and led Liu Kewei in.

This is a large room of nearly 100 square meters, the decoration is very old, no air conditioning is installed, but there are radiators that Liu Kewei is familiar with, but its original color cannot be seen at all, and the surface is covered with specks of rust.

Seoul in early April. The temperature is getting warmer, and it's even a little stuffy inside.

Overhead, three old pendant fans hung in a zigzag shape, swaying and turning weakly, but barely feeling the slightest coolness.

Not only is the paint peeling on the wooden floor, but it is also covered with various scratches.

Without what appeared to be teachers or staff watching, two dozen boys were sweating and dancing in the room.

Seeing Dana enter the house, they quickly stopped, and the crowd lined up, and the leading boy shouted one, two, three. Then everyone bowed ninety degrees together.

"Dana-sensei, Anihasio!"

"Go ahead and leave me alone. Dana smiled and nodded.

The children replied loudly again, and then straightened up and returned to their previous positions to continue practicing.

"Why isn't there a dance teacher to teach them?" said Liu Kewei, beside Dana. Asked in a puzzled whisper.

"No, but those teachers only stay here for two hours in the morning, and then they have to rush back to the office to do other things - after all, their main job is to choreograph and dance for the idols who have already debuted, and it will definitely be less important to come here to teach them. ”

Dana explained softly.

Liu Kewei nodded blankly. His gaze wandered unconsciously over the boys in the room.

These children all looked immature, the youngest was probably only eleven or twelve years old, and the oldest was estimated to be no more than twenty.

They dance with a lot of movements. The rhythm of the music playing on the stereo in the room is also intense.

It is conceivable that basically everyone sweats profusely, probably in order not to affect the ductility of their limbs, and the clothes they wear are very thin, so wet and sticky to their bodies.

Some even have a small stall of water stains under their feet.

Still, everyone is meticulously jumping. In the eyes of many people, you can even see the kind of martyrdom fanaticism that only fanatics usually have.

It's just that why are they all boys? This is a Korean S.M. company, not a Japanese firm called Genesys (which is known for its 35-year focus on boy bands and male artists......

"Are there no female trainees?" asked Liu Kewei.

"The female trainees are on another floor, and they have to go up another staircase, and most of the time, they don't see each other, at least in the practice room. As for the private situation, the company has no energy or interest in managing too much. ”

Liu Kewei nodded in relief, and his gaze turned to one side of the wall, which was in a prominent position......

There was a whip hanging from it.

"Could it be that your company still punishes trainees?" Liu Kewei felt that he was no longer surprised today.

"In fact, not only the brokerage company in the entertainment industry, but also the entire Korean education industry highly respects the 'bamboo whip of love', and it can only be said that our company is no exception. However, it should not be as serious as you think, usually when the ligament has not been pulled for a long time, and the teacher who has run out of patience will take a bamboo whip and whip it on the calf a few times. ”

Dana replied disapprehantly.

"Could it be that Mr. Dana was also whipped with a bamboo whip back then?" Liu Kewei was a little incredulous.

This is a mysterious master who can easily suppress me with his aura!

I even thought that she was almost as unfathomable as the sweeping monk in the Shaolin Temple, could it be that even she was "loved" by the teacher here with a bamboo whip back then?

Don't spoil your perfect impression in my mind!

"What's so strange about that? I was just a trainee at the time, so why should I be an exception?"

Dana glanced at Liu Kewei with an inexplicable gaze and asked unhappily.

P.S. It's today's Ben Shift, today's old sister's birthday, and I went out for lunch, so I'm a little late.

I'll try to add a new chapter in the evening, but it may be after twelve o'clock.

By the way, in the last few chapters of the plot, it took a lot of extra time to consult the references, and there may be some processing or exaggeration, but it is by no means a fabrication made up by the author in the head.

The number of favorites has been rising and falling for a while, and today it suddenly increased by more than 40, who can tell me what......'s going on? (To be continued.) )
