Chapter 9: A Vicious Curse
"Then why are you staring at me?" Tang Menglong didn't care about her appearance, and asked back a little happily.
Xiujing temporarily suppressed her anger when she heard this, and then looked at Tang Menglong again before she spoke: "I seem to have seen you somewhere before, but I don't seem to remember it!" β
Tang Menglong looked at Xiujing's little sister's pink face, then shook his head and replied: "I have no impression at all, and it's impossible, I've only been in Korea for five months!" Except for the last time, I'm pretty sure I haven't seen you! β
"Just in Korea?" Xiujing's eyes lit up and then asked, "Then aren't you Korean?" So where did you live before? β
Tang Menglong smiled: "America! β
Xiujing said in disbelief: "It can't be San Francisco!" β
Tang Menglong looked at her with some surprise, his mind turned, and he also asked with some surprise: "You won't be the same, right?" β
Xiujing nodded, and then replied: "I feel as if I have seen you, but I forgot where you are, but I should have seen it in San Francisco!" β
Tang Menglong smiled and nodded: "Maybe!" β
"Guest, here comes the dish you ordered!"
At this time, the two waiters pushed open the door and walked in, and all kinds of fresh meat were put on the table, and after a while, when the waiter stepped back, Shirley and Xiujing glanced at each other, and they were a little moved.
Tang Menglong didn't have the heart to tease them at the moment, so he smiled and said, "Eat with confidence, I'm not such a person who can't afford to lose!" β
Xiujing: "Then we're welcome!" β
Shirley: "Thank you, uncle!" β
Tang Menglong waved his hand, and then took the lead in putting the beef tenderloin on the baking tray, and the two little girls, at this moment, finally couldn't stand the temptation of Han Niu, and moved their chopsticks.
Eating and sleeping silently, that being said, most people can't do it.
After the three of them had a good meal, they chatted casually.
Picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth and chewed it, Tang Menglong looked at the two little girls who threw away their images and ate a lot, they were very helpless, and after talking, he also knew the names and identities of the two.
It turns out that both of them are trainees of Sγ»M Company, and both of them are ninety-four years old, and the one who competes with Tang Menglong is called Zheng Xiujing, and the other one who looks more cute is called Cui Zhenzhen, but everyone likes to call her English name, and if it is changed to the local name of Korea, it becomes Shirley.
Sγ»M is an abbreviation for Starmuseum, which means "Star Museum, Hall of Fame".
Lee so-man, a senior executive of S.M Company, known as the "Star-Making Dream Factory" in South Korea, got involved in the music scene in the early 70s of the 20th century and was a very famous singer at that time. After retiring from the background, with his keen eye, he founded Korea S.M Entertainment Co., Ltd. in February 1995, ushering in a new era of Korean planning companies. In 1998, S.M introduced its HOT and SES companies to China, setting off a "Korean Wave" boom in Asia. In April 2000, S.M registered the Korea Gosdaq market and issued shares, becoming the first entertainment and culture joint-stock company in Korea.
Now the most representative artists are BOA, TVXQ, and SuperJunior.
To put it bluntly, Sγ»M is one of the most powerful brokerage companies in Korea.
However, for the Korean entertainment industry, Tang Menglong also has some understanding, this Korean entertainment industry is basically a pit for celebrities, if you look at it according to the ladder, the top level of the entertainment industry is undoubtedly a department like the Cultural Affairs Bureau, followed by the three major TV stations, and then the major brokerage companies, and at the bottom of the ladder is the star, unless the influence really reaches a certain level of superstar, it is possible to jump out of this ladder slightly.
90% of the artists who debuted in South Korea are a miserable word, because there is no difference between the contract of most brokerage companies and the deed of sale, the only difference is that one is for life and the other is for life.
Moreover, the approach of these Korean brokerage companies to their artists is often to squeeze out their surplus value, and finally discard them ruthlessly.
But these are not the most pitiful, the most pitiful thing is that even if the star is in the lowest position, there are still levels in the entertainment industry, as far as the current situation in South Korea is concerned, actors and singers are no longer a system at all, and the status of singers is far inferior to that of actors.
Coupled with South Korea's harsh senior and senior system, being a star in South Korea is really 'admirable'.
And those who enter the major brokerage companies to train in order to become stars are called trainees, which is almost a pit in a pit, these boys and girls who have been trained for seven or eight years and wasted their youth, and in the end, less than 10% of them can make their debut and become artists.
After their debut, they will be subjected to all kinds of severe tests, and even an employee of a TV station can command these newcomers, of course, although this statement is a bit exaggerated, but this is the case.
"Hey, you two little guys are only fourteen years old according to the Korean algorithm, I heard that the life of trainees is very hard, can you bear it?" Tang Menglong looked at Zheng Xiujing and Cui Xueli, looked happy when eating, and asked with a little concern.
"It's okay, it's good to get used to it!" Zheng Xiujing replied nonchalantly, and then ate again.
Tang Menglong looked at the two people who were only concerned about eating, and asked a little speechlessly, "Hey, is it necessary to eat like this?" And no one is robbing you! β
Cui Xueli raised her little head and explained with a little blush: "Which, mainly Xiujing and I lied to our family, I said that I went to Xiujing's house, and Xiujing said that I went to my home, so we have to eat quickly, and go home after eating, so as not to expose the lie!" β

"Keep eating! When I didn't ask anything! Tang Menglong replied weakly, and then simply stopped the chopsticks and baked food for the two little girls.
After another twenty minutes, the two of them finally ate almost enough, and the speed slowed down.
Since Tang Menglong had been silently roasting food for the two, the two of them had a much better sense of him.
"Uncle, you sang very well just now, have you also learned to sing?" Cui Xueli remembered the Chinese song Tang Menglong sang earlier, and asked with some curiosity.
Tang Menglong nodded.
"Uncle, are you also a trainee?" Zheng Xiujing guessed curiously.
"How is that possible! I'm not crazy, how could I be a trainee! Tang Menglong expressed his thoughts very honestly, but he forgot that there were two trainees in this room.
"Uncle, who do you say is a madman?" Zheng Xiujing had a calm face and said coldly, and Cui Xueli on the side also looked at him with some dissatisfaction.
Tang Menglong smiled awkwardly, it seemed that the sentence just now hurt the two of them a little, and he could only say against his will when he looked at the serious look: "I mean, I'm twenty-three years old, how could I run away to be a trainee, I'm not crazy, don't get me wrong!" β
"Don't believe it!" Zheng Xiujing shook her head and said very firmly.
Before Tang Menglong could speak, he said: "Unless you sing us another song, we will treat you as a scumbag who tramples on the girl's dream, and curse you for not finding a wife for the rest of your life!" β
"Hiss !!!!"
