Chapter 304: Staying Out of the Matter (1)
S.M company's new debut group FX in the busy Nei Jung so-jeong is the younger sister of Girls' Generation Jung so-yeon, in mid-October 09, about this fact, most ordinary Korean people probably don't know.
Needless to say, the reason for this is that FX's debut was almost a failure, at least as a new group launched by S.M, they were extremely unsuccessful. First of all, their debut song has become a typical failure like the TARA's debut song opposite, well, even if one is a bitter song and the other is hip-hop, but anyway, it means that no one cares. And then the source of fans is also very interesting compared to the tara on the other side.,One is coming to the face.,The other is from the girl's generation side and slid down the vine.。
In short, many Koreans don't know that there is such a girl group, and even if they know that there is such a girl group, they will only nod their heads, and then say, 'Oh, this is the junior sister group of Girls' Generation'. And then? And then it's gone. As for Zheng Xiujing, oh, that little girl with a big forehead is quite cute, well, that's it.
However, for those who work in the Korean entertainment industry, including artists, agents, and even TV workers, they have long known Krystal very well. After all, this circle says that small novels are not big, and the people who live in it have their own unique ecological environment and information circulation methods. What's more, for the entertainment industry, which attaches great importance to interpersonal relationships, this kind of information behind it is actually far more worthy of their attention than the information in front of the stage.
Therefore, the fact that Krystal is the younger sister of Girls' Generation Sika has long been tacitly understood in the Korean entertainment industry, and the reason why it is just tacit is because Kim Jong-ming did not say anything publicly, nor did he specifically appear in the public camera with this Krystal, so naturally everyone is not good at talking.
But even so. Krystal did feel the presence of his brother in the month after his debut. Let's take an example of an incident in the SBS backstage standby room last night.
At that time, Narsha, the captain of BEG, who can almost be called the top senior of the girl group currently active, suddenly pushed the door in, and scared five people, as well as agents and makeup artists, jumped up quickly. You know, this person just came here by accident two minutes ago because he was doing a small variety show, and now what does it mean to go and come back? Could it be that who made her unhappy just now? As a result, this person came in and first asked for a new album very politely, and then touched Krystal's head and left.
Okay. Feelings are specially here to say hello to Krystal, and everyone knows why, Narsha and Kim Jong-myung are working together on a new variety show on KBS.
At about 10 o'clock that night, compared to the bustle and noise of two hours ago, there were very few people backstage at the KBS Yeouido headquarters at this time, after all, there were not many late-night programs. And there are even fewer people in the radio department, because this is a niche within a niche. However, in the standby room where the lights were still on in a certain part of the radio department, there was a noisy and muddy sound from time to time. This is the result of a well-insulated gate.
"If only your brother had come when I was at SBS. In the standby room, FX's busy Cui Shirley was pouting dissatisfiedly and saying something. "In that case, those people wouldn't dare make Amber's jokes......"
Krystal stopped talking.
"Okay Shirley, don't say that again. Song Qian, who was holding Xiao A next to her, scolded softly. "We're newcomers, so don't always think about how to rely on other people's influence. ”
But they went too far. "Luna, too, is a little angry. "Why do you want to ...... Ha Ri so?"
"Don't say it!" the agent interrupted Luna solemnly. "What you mean by this is actually discriminating against the predecessors of Ha Lixiu, being heard is a storm, it is just a joke on the funny stage, and you are not allowed to interpret it too much. ”
"I'm fine. Xiao A finally stopped his tears after hearing the agent's words.
In fact, as a Chinese American who grew up in Canada, Xiao A is very clear about the Tao here. People Ha Lixiu herself don't care about this kind of joke, what can she do if she is compared to Ha Lixiu? And even if she is angry, she can't show it. Because if you're really angry, it means that you're also discriminating against transgender people. Moreover, to put it mildly, Xiao A doesn't care much about this statement when she asks herself, what she cares about is the huge contrast between reality and ideals after her debut, and after a whole month of hard work, they still don't have any popularity. Compared with the predecessors of Girls' Generation, who were too tired to perform commercially and announced, they only received one decent commercial performance. Therefore, she suddenly couldn't control her emotions this time, in fact, she was taking the opportunity to vent her powerlessness throughout her debut.
However, it is estimated that Xiao A himself doesn't know, even the only decent commercial performance-win7 press conference. In fact, it was Jin Zhongming who greeted people privately and asked the organizer to find them, otherwise it would be difficult to receive this commercial performance with their popularity.
And this is precisely the cruel reality of the Korean entertainment industry, a group of newcomers, and they can't get too many resources, so they can only run around helplessly.
"So be it. The agent sighed helplessly, several children were too young, and he was actually a little distressed. "At eleven o'clock, we're going to "kisstheradio", Amber just cried when he got off the stage at SBS, and many artists also saw it, so I went to Litt and Eunhyuk to talk about it, and asked them to prepare two questions for Amber later. How?"
Xiao A held back her tears and nodded, at this time she finally understood how reliable Lit's people were, even if this group of people always love to joke with her and make her angry, but her brother from the same company will never embarrass her on stage.
The agent sighed again, then pushed open the door to the waiting room and went out, but when he turned a corner shortly after leaving the door, he was stunned and could not move any further.
"Brother Zhu Ying. "On the bench around the corner, a large green cotton jacket was draped. Jin Zhongming, who was still holding a bowl of instant noodles, moved to the side. "Sit. ”
"Hey. FX, an agent named Lee Joo-young, came back to his senses and sat down, while Kim Jong-ming's new assistant Jia Chao also got up and stood at the corner of the intersection, apparently wanting to be a sentry.
"What's wrong?" asked Kim Jong Ming as he ate instant noodles. "How can I vaguely hear something like Ha Lixiu's seniors? Can you say such a thing? If it spreads, all kinds of troubles will come over in a matter of minutes. ”
"That's right. Li Zhuying explained helplessly.
It turned out that after FX's debut, it was obvious that it was difficult to get decent resources because the girlhood of the same senior sister was at its peak. That is, to participate in some basic music stages, radio programs, and then to participate in some large-scale programs. And just now they participated in SBS's veteran comedy show "Laughers", and they became eye-catching guests in it. And since it's a newcomer, giving you a shot is giving you a face, and it's common to be ridiculed to a certain extent, among which Xiao A's neutral image was naturally caught by two funny artists, and they even compared her with the transgender actress Ha Lixiu, who is still marked as a man on her ID card.
"Then Xiao A can't stand it anymore as soon as he gets off the stage?" Jin Zhongming asked calmly.
Lee Joo-young nodded.
"I'm still too young. Jin Zhongming put down the instant noodle bowl and sighed a little helplessly. "At the end of the day, I just can't stand the pressure. ”
"Who said it wasn't?" Lee Joo-young also sighed a little. "Song Qian is okay, the rest are too young. It's worrying to be lively, and it's easy to collapse in the face of such pressure. In MBC's "Golden Fishery" before, because of the constant help of Yin Zhongxin's seniors, Jin Jiula's seniors were also a little afraid of you, so they actually received a lot of preferential treatment at that time. But even so, Shirley and Krystal almost cried on the spot twice because they couldn't stand the poisonous tongue of Jin Jiula's seniors......"
"Thank you. Jin Zhongming nodded, he didn't really know what to say.
"Hey!" Li Zhuying smiled bitterly.
"But what are you going to do this time?" After a while, Jin Zhongming asked with a little concern.
"That's ......," Lee Joo-young hurriedly said his thoughts about going to Little.
"You're right. Jin Zhongming nodded. "That's the right thing to do right now. ”
After speaking. Kim Jong Ming got up and threw the instant noodle bowl into the trash can next to him, and then sat back on the bench.
"That ......" Lee Joo-young scratched her head in embarrassment. "Mr. Jin Zhongming, won't you go in and take a look at Krystal?"
"What are you doing in there?" Jin Zhongming shook his head. "What about looking? Those kids must have been around me and had a grievance. And then hope I go how to how. But...... What can I do? Do I have to call SBS and have two funny artists come and apologize? Or do I just have SBS fire these two people? If nothing else, I can do it myself, but is it really good?"
Lee Joo-young was silent.
"Those people are actually at a higher level than they are. Jin Zhongming continued. "Everyone is begging for a living, I believe that whether it is those two or Jin Jiula's predecessors, they are by no means out of malice, they only do it because of their own way of survival. Of course I can be angry about what they do. If any of them encounter a groping pig on stage, where do you need to tell me? That person will be knocked to the knee in three days! But I will never smash someone's job because of a joke on the stage! That's not fair!"
After a pause, Jin Zhongming continued: "So, Brother Zhu Ying, you said it yourself, what's the use of me going in? And then they watched me walk away? It did nothing but ruin my image as a brother. So I can't go in, so I'm just waiting here for you to come out and talk to you and ask about them. Such...... Barely doing the duty of an older brother. ”
Li Zhuying nodded with a complicated expression, and Jia Chao, who was standing on the side, also stared at his boss in a little surprise, and seemed to be a little emotional.
"Well, didn't they play at eleven o'clock on KissTheRadio? Jin Zhongming looked at the time on his phone. "I just came back from "Two Days and One Night", and I made an appointment with Brother Shi, and I estimated that his show should be recorded in ten minutes. You can take this time to tell me more, what have they done since their debut, what is the situation, what is the physical state of several people? Tell me as much as possible, try to ...... as much as possible."
