Chapter 2 Selection and Planning

The willow tops on the moon, don't be after dusk.

After coming down from the mountain, returning to the hotel where he was staying, and after a brief wash, Li Zheng took out a pen and paper and spread it out on the desk in the guest room.

It's been a week since I came back from the United States, and although many things in the Korean entertainment industry have not been completely sorted out, the people who need to be contacted in the early stage have been contacted one after another, and the entry point and direction in the early stage have a general idea.

Thinking of this, Li Zheng drew a simple table on the paper and wrote down a few words in the table.

"Actor, singer, gagman. Pros and cons. ”

The tip of the pen tapped a few times under the word "Li", and after a little thought, Li Zheng quickly wrote down a few items.

1. Outstanding appearance conditions.

2. Good at piano, guitar and other musical instruments, with the ability to compose music and lyrics.

3. Excellent dancing ability.

4. Have a foundation in acting, have participated in acting training classes, and have starring experience in American film and television dramas.

5. Highly educated. Speak more Chinese. Graduated from Yale Business School.

After I finished writing, I groaned a little and added a few more under the word "disadvantages".

1. The appearance condition is outstanding, and it is not easy to laugh as a gagman, and the gagman aspect is a disadvantage.

2. He has a defective voice, he gets tired and hoarse when he sings, and he doesn't have the ability to debut as a solo singer, so he can only debut as a member of the group.

3. He has experience in film and television dramas, but only as a trick and a small role, has not played the leading role, and has no starring experience in Korean film and television works, and has a poor resume.

After analyzing his own strengths and weaknesses and comparing the pros and cons, Li Zheng fell into deep thought as he looked at the few items listed on the table.

In the Korean entertainment industry, the debut of an artist is nothing more than three ways out: actor, singer, and gagman. Among the three, the actor has the highest status, followed by the singer, and the gagman is the lowest. Comparing the social status and social influence of the three, as well as their own appearance and other conditions, Gagman can first exclude.

He drew a big cross on "gagman", and Li Zheng moved his eyes to the word "singer", and after a little thought, he put a big cross on it.

In terms of composition and lyrics, because of the cultivation and training since childhood, although I have a good talent and my voice has improved after treatment, it is still an unavoidable obstacle to not be able to debut as a solo singer. Although becoming a member of the group can also realize his dream as a singer, the highest achievement is only a member of a popular group.

But at that time, the label of a singer put an invisible shackle on himself, which was not conducive to his long-term development in the future.

That being the case, the best option is to ......

After staring at the "actor" for a long time, Li Zheng drew two circles in the blank space of the paper, and then wrote the words "star actor" and "professional actor" in the circles.

In the entertainment industry, the actors of the actor agency are divided into two categories: one is the actor who takes the route of professional actors, that is, he impresses the audience by his strength and acting skills, does not pursue luxury, does not deliberately package, does not lead fashion, and does not participate in too many commercial performances or win media exposure with hot news and amazing moves. What they pursue is more about the breakthrough of their own acting skills, the honor of the industry and the recognition of the audience.

Although the other type is also an actor, they may also have acting skills and strength, but they have more star packaging, they have more youth and beauty, and they are fashionably packaged with idol temperament to lead the fashion trend. They frequently attend fashion events, award ceremonies, and appear on magazine covers, seeking more media attention and news focus. They are fashion pioneers, media darlings, and moving fashions that live in the spotlight.

The tip of the pen wandered back and forth on the two words, and looked at the pros and cons list by himself, and after a long time, Li Zheng finally made up his mind and put a big cross on "professional actor".

Compared with star actors, professional actors may be powerful, and they also have huge popularity and social influence when they reach the top. But the reality is that most professional actors are more unknown, and only a few can really overcome obstacles and set foot on the peak. Moreover, compared to the time when star actors became famous, the road to professional actors will be longer. After reaching the top, professional actors may have great influence in the industry, but their influence in the entire society and the world is far inferior to that of star actors whose acting skills are slightly inferior to them.

Just like a predecessor once said, the entertainment industry has always been a game of handsome guys and beauties, since you have an advantage in appearance, you can't use your own advantages to make up for your weaknesses, so that you can realize your dream of becoming the top star in South Korea with a greater chance.

Glancing at the pros and cons table again, Li Zheng drew another circle on the second item "composing and lyricisting ability" under the word "pro".

Although he has decided to take the path of an actor as the main route for his future development, his ability to compose music and lyrics is also a major advantage for him, and it is a shining point to show his strength and talent. In this regard, S.M, the agency that was a trainee in his own life, has a wide range of channels and a deep background, which can be used as one of the most important cooperation objects, which will be of great help in promoting songs and expanding popularity.

Since you have decided to choose a star actor in the actor profession, the more labels you have, the brighter your halo will be, and you will have more advantages compared with other star actors, and your worth and fame will be higher and wider.

After deciding on the choice of career route, looking at the circles and tables on the paper, and pondering for a moment, Li Zheng drew another arrow under the font of "star actor", and wrote nine big characters under the arrow-

Seek fame first, then seek nobility, and then seek wealth.

Since ancient times, ordinary people have been poor and seeking wealth, wealth and nobility, and nobility and fame.

In the entertainment industry, this cannot be the case.

In the early stage, you need to accumulate fame, and you can't be greedy for small profits. As long as you can quickly accumulate popularity and increase popularity, even if you don't want to make a profit or lose a part of your benefits, it is not impossible. With fame, status can be improved, status can be improved, popularity can be stabilized, and there will be more opportunities. With more opportunities, you can accumulate popularity and expand popularity more quickly, and with the expansion of popularity and popularity, benefits will naturally come.

At this point, the relationship between the priorities and priorities of his future actor development route must be clearly understood, and he cannot lose a big one because of a small one. My dream is to become the top star in South Korea, making money is just incidental, not the main purpose, how to choose, I must have a clear measure in my heart.

Thinking about this, and thinking about the arrangement plan for the next few days, Li Zhengzheng was about to record it on paper and comb it again, when a rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded in the guest room, followed by a sweet and magnetic Qingli female voice......

"Chris, are you resting?"
