Chapter 5: Kang Jun Hyuk
"How long will you have to wait? Why haven't you come out yet?"
In a room on the third floor, the girls gathered together, looking through the half-open window at the corner of the hallway and the staircase.
"Yuli, are you sure he hasn't left yet?"
"yes. Do you say he's gone. ”
"Ernie, are you sure your predecessors will pass through here?"
……
Listening to the voices of the members questioning one after another, Quan Yuli bared her teeth and burst out: "I don't believe me or can't wait, you won't go to Teacher Yu Yongzhen's office to see it by yourself?" And you, Xu Xiaoxian, squirmed when you were called, why are you so active now? And ......?"
"Shhhhh The one next to him is Senior Li Zheng, right? He's really tall. ”
"Don't squeeze, let me see!"
"Kim Hyo-yeon, you stepped on my foot. ”
"Busy, your clothes, you've pulled my hair. Hyoyuan, open the window wider, I can't see it. ”
……
The girls flocked to the window, looking at the crowded probes, and as Yu Yongzhen's figures got closer and closer, the discussion sounded again.
"His skin is so white, he looks better than a girl, I don't know what brand of skin care products he uses?"
"He's quite tall, but he looks a little thin, how much does he weigh? I guess he's not more than 70 kilograms. ”
"The clothes of the predecessors are still so tasteful, simple, clean, and always give people a very refreshing feeling. ”
"Ahh Did he find us? Close the windows! Close the windows!"
"Bang!"
With a soft sound, the window was slammed shut, and the girls exhaled softly, looked at each other, and suddenly someone laughed, and then everyone laughed out loud. Tiffany glanced out through the gap in the window lattice, lowered her voice, and laughed softly: "It turns out that he is Li Zheng's senior!
Jin Xiaoyuan snorted and said arrogantly, "Now you should believe my words." ”
…………
"Li Zheng, what are you looking at?"
"Nothing. ”
Glancing at the room diagonally opposite, seeing that the window was tightly closed and there was no one left, Li Zheng shook his head and smiled, and followed Yu Yongzhen downstairs.
After saying goodbye to Yu Yongzhen, Li Zheng made a phone call, and after making sure that there was no problem with the afternoon visit, he found a café nearby and sorted out his thoughts again.
In South Korea, for artists who have just entered the industry, there is no network accumulation in the early stage, and it is difficult to have a way out without a brokerage company.
There are two aspects to this, one is resources and the other is opportunity.
In terms of connections, most of Li Zheng's resources are in S.M. Company.
But Li Zheng of S.M Company is of course more familiar, and he also has certain connections and background, but in the film and television industry, in terms of film and television resources, the identity of S.M's music industry background has a congenital disadvantage, and in the fight for and provision of superior resources, S.M Company has a huge gap with those brokerage companies that are rooted in the film and television industry.
Signing a contract with S.M Company, perhaps he will soon be able to star in one or two film and television dramas with the support of the company in the early stage, but it is extremely detrimental to Li Zheng's long-term development in the film and television industry. Therefore, after deciding to develop into an actor, S.M Company was first excluded from Li Zheng's choice.
After collecting the detailed information of many film and television companies, after a comprehensive comparison, Li Zheng chose iHQ Entertainment Agency.
iHQ is one of the best entertainment agencies in Korea. Since its establishment, the company has cultivated well-known film and television stars at home and abroad, such as Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye Kyo, Cha Tae-hyun, Jeon Do-yeon, Jung Woo-sung, Jang Hyuk, and Cho In-sung, and has strong strength in both South Korea and Asian film and television circles.
There are two main factors in choosing iHQ: First, iHQ's strong film and television strength. Second, there is a certain network base in iHQ. The seniors that Li Zheng is going to visit in the afternoon are the employees of iHQ, who have a certain voice and influence within iQH.
In the café, stirring the coffee with a spoon, Li Zheng continued to organize his thoughts.
It should be noted that choosing iHQ will give you a greater chance of achieving your goals, but it does not mean that signing a contract with iHQ will necessarily give you access to a large number of film and television resources, and will be fully supported by the company. If you are incompetent, no matter how many resources and opportunities you have, it will only be wasted, so in terms of acting skills, you must strengthen your practice. But at least by signing a contract with iHQ, you can have the opportunity to fight for more and better resources, and in terms of congenital conditions, you will have a higher starting point and greater advantages than those actors who sign with small brokerage companies or companies with scarce resources.
Just like an old Chinese saying, if you climb high and move, your arms will not be lengthened, but those who see will be far away; Also like Newton said, if I look a little further, it's because I'm standing on the shoulders of giants.
Standing on the top of the mountain, standing on the shoulders of giants, can we see a broader and more boundless world and climb to a higher peak.
Xunzi once said in "Persuasion" that those who fake horses are not good for their feet, but lead to thousands of miles; those who fake boats are not able to use water, but are not able to rivers; gentlemen are not different, and they are good at faking things.
Li Zheng has understood this truth since he was a child.
He knows that only by knowing how to take advantage of the situation and being good at creating and using conditions that are beneficial to him can he increase his chances of realizing his dreams and make it easier for him to embark on the path of Korea's top stars.
Therefore, when he has the resources and connections he can use, he never cares about face, does not scruples, and does not hesitate.
After sitting in the café for a long time, sorting out his thoughts, half an hour before the appointed time, Li Zheng stopped the car and rushed towards the Sanbao Building, the film and television branch of iHQ Company.
On the fifth floor of the Sanbao Building, as soon as Li Zheng stepped out of the elevator, a middle-aged man of medium stature and some wealth greeted him.
"Li Zheng, here. ”
He waved his hand at Li Zheng with a smile, walked over, patted Li Zheng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "I know that you are coming soon, I have been waiting for you here." As he spoke, he looked Li Zheng up and down again, and nodded appreciatively, "Although I have seen it in MSN's chat video and seen your photos, the real person is still more handsome." ”
Li Zheng pretended to smile shyly, bent down, bowed and saluted: "Uncle De, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
The middle-aged man's name is Park Chengdeok, who works as a minister in the film and television department of iHQ company, and is a friend of Li Zheng's deceased father.
"Okay, let's talk as we go. Director Choi is still waiting in the office. ”
Park Chengde smiled warmly, took Li Zheng's hand and told him: "Xiao Zheng, what I'm going to take you to meet is Director Cui, who is responsible for the contract of the company's new artists." However, don't worry, Director Cui and I have a good relationship, and if there are no accidents, there should be no problem with your signing with the company this time. ”
The two came to the outside of Director Cui's office, knocked on the door, and after the people inside responded, the two walked in.
Director Cui is about forty years old, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and gold-rimmed glasses.
After the two went in, when they saw Li Zheng, Director Choi's eyes suddenly lit up, Park Chengde handed over the personal file information brought by Li Zheng, he nodded and smiled, motioned for the two to sit on the side for a while, and then opened the file bag and carefully checked Li Zheng's information.
Real name: Li Zheng.
English name: Krystian Lee.
Date of birth: 20 May 1987.
Height: 186cm
Blood Type: O.
Languages: Chinese, English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish.
School: Yale University Graduate School of Business.
Experience: From 2001 to 2003, he was a contracted trainee of S.M. In 2004, he was admitted to Yale Business School. During his time in school, he participated in actor training classes in his spare time and participated in many American film and television dramas......
……
A few minutes later, putting down the file in his hand, Director Cui glanced at Li Zheng with a somewhat strange look, smiled, and said, "To be honest, your resume is very good. Appearance, height, education and so on are all advantages. It's just that I'm a little curious, with your qualifications as a top student at Yale Business School, you are very promising in any line of work, why do you want to be an actor?"
"A personal dream. Lee Tsung-said.
"Dreams?"
Director Choi knocked on Li Zheng's information on the table, shook his head and said with a smile: "If it's really a dream, why did you leave South Korea back then? With the strength of S.M Company, although there are not many resources in film and television, it is no problem to launch you as an actor." ”
After finishing speaking, seeing Li Zheng smiling and silent, Director Cui shook his head and smiled again, "Forget it." It's just a little curiosity on my part. If you don't want to say it, I won't force it. Saying that, he knocked on the file and said with a smile, "With your conditions, and recommended by Chengde, there is no problem in signing with our company, if you agree, we can sign the contract now." ”
Seeing Li Zheng nodding, Director Cui smiled with satisfaction.
He looked at the file, as if remembering something, and said, "There is one more thing." I read your profile just now, and since you are going to become an artist, it is very important to choose an elegant and easy-to-remember stage name.
A good name is not only good for promotion, but also easy to add points in the hearts of fans. Celebrities are the dreams in the hearts of fans, the substitute for emotions, and represent the most genuine goodness and the most fantastical beauty. Just like when you go to buy goods, the most eye-catching items are always the most beautiful items. After all, in the hearts of fans, they always hope that their idols are perfect, and this perfection includes all aspects. Although your real name is also very good, it is still a bit too popular. ”
After thinking for a moment, Director Choi asked Lee Jung: "What do you think of the name Junhyuk? Handsome! Prominent! Lee Junhyuk!"
Li Zheng pursed his lips and fell into silence, and after a moment, he suddenly raised his head and shook his head: "I'm sorry." My mother's surname is Jiang, so I want to call it ...... Kang Jun Hyuk. ”
