Chapter 146: JHJ Entertainmen
In Seoul, Gangnam-gu, Mapo-gu, and Seocho-gu are almost all 10 of Seoul's largest and smallest entertainment companies. し
Not only that, but every month, if you can even say every day, new entertainment agencies are established, but then there are old ones that go out of business.
The metabolism of the Korean music industry is too fast, and there are new artist idol groups launched almost every day, limited by the limited nature of the TV promotion platform, only a very small part of the groups can be promoted on TV broadcasts, and more small artists rely on large and small commercial performances, as well as small stages built on the street to perform.
After all, it is produced by a 'small workshop', and there is no spare money to buy songs or anything, generally speaking, they mainly perform the tunes and dances that have become popular recently.
The living environment of an actor is better than that of a singer, but the problems it faces are completely different from those in the music industry.
If one of the major problems faced by the music industry is that the 'metabolism' is too vigorous, then the entertainment industry is facing the problem of the fault line between the older generation of actors and the younger generation of actors.
Although with the rise of a new generation of young actors in China, due to various reasons, their image has not been as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the agency expected.
Early in the morning, on the eighth floor of the 110-1 AME Standard Building in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, ordinary white-collar workers working here saw workers coming and going from time to time next door, coming and going, and the sound of 'jingling' was endless.
Someone curiously went out to take a look, and it turned out that the interior was being renovated and remodeled next door.
"Did you go see the next door?" Returning to her seat, she took the lead in asking her colleague questions.
"See what?" One of them turned his gaze from the computer screen to her and glanced at her curiously. He asked, "What's wrong next door?" ”
"Please, don't tell me that loud just now, you didn't hear?" Listening to his colleague's words, Kong Zhimin couldn't help but cover his forehead. I don't know how big their nerves are, and I haven't heard such a loud decoration sound.
"Jimin, what did you just go out to see?"
Seeing Jimin and several of them taking advantage of OSS's absence, they all gathered around and chatted quietly, and after a while, someone joined in.
"Next door is being renovated," Kong Zhimin pointed to the next door. He explained to the sisters.
"Cut, isn't it just decoration, what's so nice about this?" One person immediately retorted when he heard Kong Zhimin's words, with a look of disdain.
"It's just, it's just decoration, what's so good." Hearing this, someone soon chimed in.
Listening to the words of the sisters, Kong Zhimin was not angry, but stars appeared in his eyes, and he continued: "But the man who commanded there is so handsome!" ”
"Really?"
"What you said is true?"
Looking at the impatient appearance of the sisters. Kong Zhimin snickered a few times, knowing that as long as he said this, they would definitely be fooled, and sure enough, he tried and tried.
"Didn't you know that our downstairs is Keyeast? I feel like the man I saw was definitely an actor. Kong Zhimin nodded as he spoke.
The Keyeast brokerage company she was talking about was Pei Yongjun's company, which was on the sixth floor of the building.
I still remember that when a new batch of female employees came to this company, I heard that the people who work here often meet with Pei Yongjun, and they are naturally very excited, and even after work, they will wait in front of the keyeast agency for more than half an hour, just to say 'hard work' to their favorite artists.
But. This time, Kong Zhimin lied.
In fact, where there are any handsome guys, she is blindly teasing them, except for the muscular uncle who is decorated next door. Where are there any handsome guys. Besides, with the temperament of a handsome guy, everyone should sit in the café and read books and newspapers, how can such a smoky decoration environment come?
Although she snickered in her heart, Kong Zhimin quickly sorted out the management of her facial expressions and nodded solemnly. "Of course there is a handsome guy, and when he saw me looking at him, he smiled at me!"
Because of Kong Zhimin's words, everyone did not doubt it, but they all looked at the door of Boss not far away, and they didn't know when OSS would come out, and they were a little uneasy in their hearts.
"I want to go to the bathroom, do any of you want to go?" One of them suggested.
"I'll go!"
"I'll go too!"
Because of her words, everyone seems to have found a reason to skip work for a while, of course, the reason is to go to the bathroom, as for why so many people go together, naturally it is not to be afraid!
Well, no one will believe it, but anyway, they set off, and before leaving, they specially asked Kong Zhimin, "Zhimin, aren't you going to take a look?" ”
Hearing someone ask him, Kong Zhimin hurriedly waved his hand, and said haha: "I have taken a few closer glances just now, this time you go, I still have a little form to do." ”
"Okay, let's go and come, if OSS comes over to inspect, you remember to help a few of us give the round."
"Okay, no problem!" As he spoke, Kong Zhimin stretched out his right hand and made an 'ok' gesture, solving all the worries, and a few of them quietly left the office, and no one noticed Kong Zhimin's crying and laughing expression behind them.
"What a deception!" Seeing that his colleagues had all passed, Kong Zhimin grinned in his seat, not noticing that he was actually the mastermind this time.
If you want to blame it, you can only blame you for not being able to walk as soon as you hear that there is a handsome guy, one is more than a nymphomaniac, and when I think of this, the smile on Kong Zhimin's face is even stronger.
After waiting in the seat for about ten minutes, the group that went out to see the handsome guy finally returned to the office, Kong Zhimin watched them come back and sit in his seat with a surprised face, and the impression of the 'storm' did not move at all, it was really strange, it seemed that something happened in the process that he didn't know.
"Did you really go and see it?" Kong Zhimin frowned in confusion. He asked again.
"Of course I did!" One of the members of the group nodded, his eyes shining with color, and his mouth explained, "It's really handsome." I can't even close my legs when I'm handsome! ”
"Yikes! Don't say anything so erotic! Listening to the words of his colleagues, one person hurriedly corrected.
"But, Jimin. We went to look there, and there seemed to be two handsome men, and I don't know which one you were talking about? One continued.
Listen to your colleagues. Kong Zhimin was a little dumbfounded, did he really let himself be blinded? There are really handsome guys in the renovated house next door, and they don't see it themselves?
"Are you sure you're right?"
"Of course you read that right!"
Everyone nodded affirmatively, and one of them seemed to remember something interesting, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, which made Kong Zhimin jump, wouldn't they also unify their caliber and then lie to themselves?
"What do you think of Joongi Xi here?" Jung Hyuk-jae stretched out his hand and gently wiped a layer of ash on the balcony, turned his head to look at Lee Joon-gi beside him, and asked.
Window. Sunlight shines right on the floor through the windows, and if you look into the distance, you can see the view of Gangnam District.
"That's good!" Hearing what Jung Hyuk-jae said, Lee Joon-gi smiled, as if he still couldn't believe it in his heart.
Thinking that a week ago he was just a lonely person in the entertainment industry, and a week later he was no longer alone, Lee Joon-gi felt that he was still in a dream, and everything was so unreal.
Yesterday afternoon, Lee Joon-gi officially signed a six-year contract with JHJEAI, officially becoming the first artist under JHJEAI.
The signing ceremony was rudimentary. In addition to Lee Joon-gi and Jung Hyuk-jae, Lee Joon-gi also called a top student from the law department he knew, for the purpose of signing the contract this time.
In the Korean entertainment industry, there have been no celebrities who have been cheated by the brokerage company, and the reason is that the brokerage company has manipulated the content of the contract. High liquidated damages, long contract time, and even various overlord clauses, the phenomenon of 'shop bullying' abounds in the Korean entertainment industry, because the agency has resources in hand, if you don't want to sign a contract, there are boys and girls who want to become famous.
If you are not careful about the issue of the contract, you ignore some inconspicuous clauses. was pitted to only these artists, not the agency.
The content of the contract is also simple, the duration of the contract is six years, and in two years as JHJEAI Company, Lee Joon-gi has won no less than two TV drama actors.
When Lee Joon-gi saw this, he was frightened, and the content of the contract that Lee Joon-gi learned was generally a requirement for artists, and there were very few people like Jung Hyuk-jae who directly wrote the actor of the TV series into the contract, almost none.
Not to mention a newly established company like JHJEAI, even Keyeast, the agency to which Pei Yongjun belongs, does not dare to boast about Haikou, saying that he has won no less than a few TV series for XX, because the position of the actor is not just a company staring, even daily dramas have I don't know how many artists are staring at the position of the actor, not to mention the newly established JHJEAI.
If the previous one is the benefits given by Jung Hyuk-jae, then the next few are the requirements for Lee Joon-gi, including all aspects from life to work, similar to 'How many times have you been in love?' ''When did you fall in love?'' ''Do you have a girlfriend now?'' These are all of these issues.
Then there is the top priority of the signing, about the distribution of income - 7:3, JHJEAI gets 7, Lee Joon-gi gets 3, it seems to be a very unreasonable income distribution, but Lee Joon-gi did not express much opposition to this, in fact, all large and small brokerage companies do this.
7:3 is not outrageous, it can even be said to be a good income distribution, the more bizarre 8:2, 9:1 income distribution he has heard of, and it is like a mythical contract before the 8:2 distribution, 2 will be equally divided among the heads of six people, it is even more pitiful.
There are also such as endorsement income, self-created brand income, etc., all of which are to be shared with the brokerage company, but these are not so outrageous, although the JHJEAI company represented by Zheng Hyukzai still takes the lion's head 6:4, but this is also a general practice in the circle, which is a tacit unspoken rule.
Jung Hyuk-jae opened up the liquidated damages to 2 billion won for Lee Joon-gi, an outrageously high figure.
It seems that Lee Joon-gi suffered a big loss in this signing, but don't forget that from the moment he signed, Jung Hyuk-jae had to take responsibility for Lee Joon-gi, and all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation needed JHJEAI to pay for it.
You can't be an entertainer without a costume, right? Buy!
You can't be an entertainer without an agent and an assistant, right? Recruit!
As an artist, you can't live without a scooter, right? Raise!
Watching the numbers in the bank card decrease little by little, Jung Hyuk-jae inevitably felt pain.
The address of the contract between the two parties was also chosen in a restaurant, because it was just in time for the meal, and the restaurant was a little noisy, and it was in that environment that Lee Joon-gi signed his name on the contract and officially sold himself to Jhjeai.
JHJ is naturally the artist agency founded by Jung Hyuk Jae, and he was originally going to give a more atmospheric name, but it took a lot of brain cells but there was no result, and finally he casually followed the crowd, and like many bigwigs in the entertainment industry, he used the initials of his name - Junghyukjae (Junghyukjae) as the company's name.
JHJEAI was born since then, and at first glance it looks quite bluffing, but in fact it is just an artist company with only a pitiful person under it, and it is also a newcomer who has not yet debuted. (To be continued.) )xh211
