Chapter 1: Interviews

Park Shi-yoon, male, 20 years old, is a young man from Jeonju. Like all young people who dream of stardom, after graduating from high school, he came to the dream city of Seoul despite his parents' opposition, hoping to realize his dream of stardom in the city.

Yet the dream is good, but the reality is cruel. After coming to Seoul for a month, Park Shiyun interviewed several brokerage companies, but the other party was not satisfied. Although Park Shiyun has shown a certain talent in music, most brokerage companies have their own trainees, how can they easily sign a contract with a person who comes to their home to recommend themselves, and he is a little old as a trainee. Unless he really has an earth-shattering musical talent, a musical genius that is rare to see in ten years.

After hitting a wall again and again, Park Shiyun was completely disappointed. I thought that I could successfully enter the brokerage company for training with my own ability, and then make my debut, on the big stage, and finally return to my hometown with honor.

Now that I think about it, such an idea is naïve enough. He is not the male protagonist in the novel, he has no plug-ins, no money, no backstage, and no earth-shattering musical talent, why do you think the other party will sign a contract with him.

As the days passed, Park Shiyun ran into walls everywhere in Seoul, but the money he brought from home was almost exhausted, from the first three meals a day and living in a small hotel, to the last day eating only a bucket of instant noodles and living in a simple basement. His time in Seoul was getting sadder by the day.

By chance, Park Shi-yoon saw a newspaper about the packaging of star singers, from an advertisement issued by a company called Dazi Dahong Culture Communication Company, and he did not hesitate to use his last 30,000 won as transportation expenses to come to Gangnam-Apgujeong, he wanted to try his luck.

Dazi Dahong Culture Communication Company, although the name is cheesy, the place where this company is located is not vulgar at all, located in an office building in Jiangnan-District, where every inch of land is valuable.

On May 3, 2007, wearing a pair of old canvas shoes, whitewashed jeans on the bottom, a simple and cheap T-shirt on the top, and a wooden guitar on his back, Park Shiyun walked into the office building in high spirits

Park Shiyun walked into the office building with a newspaper in his hand, looking around all the way, reading as he walked. The company signage of the Big Red Culture Communication Company fell into his eyes.

After explaining her intentions, the company's beautiful female secretary warmly received Park Shiyun, led Park Shiyun to the manager's office to introduce him to the company's manager, and then went to the water dispenser to get a paper cup to receive water for Park Shiyun before returning to his position.

This move flattered Park Shiyun.

"You may be seated!" The manager shook hands with Park Shiyun and nodded.

Park Shiyun nodded in thanks, sat down and looked at the office. On the wall of the office are photographed by the company's manager and some celebrities, including the hot little king Rain, the Asian celestial group TVXQ, and Kim Jong Kook, the former triple champion of golden songs who has enlisted in the army.

The manager sat back in his position, and secretly observed Park Shiyun's words, while asking, "Why did you come to our company?"

Park Shiyun retracted his gaze, got up and handed the newspaper to the manager, "I saw an advertisement in the newspaper, saying that your company is a professional packaging singer star?" ”

The manager shrugged noncommittally and pointed to the star photos and pictorials on the wall, "Yes, our company is for packaging stars." You see, these are all from our company, and now they are very famous in China, you should know each other, right? ”

Park Shiyun nodded, but he knew in his heart that the manager was not telling the truth, at least Rain and TVXQ were not in line with this company at all, and the manager was somewhat suspicious of pulling tiger skins. But with so many celebrities on the wall, Park Shiyun naturally couldn't know all the backgrounds, and secretly said in his heart: He may be talking about someone other than Rain and TVXQ.

Seeing Park Shiyun nodding, the manager said with a smile: "Do you want to be a singer?" ”

"Sort of, I just want to pursue my musical dreams." Park Shiyun said what was in his heart.

The manager said: "It's good to have pursuits, how many people have relied on their dedication to the pursuit to embark on the road of stardom, and finally become big stars." You already have the basics to become a pop star.

I see you're young, have you studied music before? If you haven't learned it, we will also ask professional teachers to train you. ”

"Yes, I have studied guitar with a teacher for six years, taught myself vocal music for four years, and have also dabbled in writing lyrics and composing music." Park Shiyun said.

"I can't see that you have a wide range of music! Don't know what your voice condition is? The manager nodded with a smile, seemingly satisfied with Park Shiyun.

"Shall I sing it to you first?"

With the manager nodding in agreement, Park Shiyun picked up the guitar and sang TVXQ's famous song "Hug", which he adapted himself.

The song "hug" has a fascinating magic, and "hug", which has been changed by Park Shiyun, with a light guitar accompaniment, gives people a small and fresh beauty and another flavor.

After singing the song, Park Shiyun looked at the manager nervously, waiting for his comment.

The manager, who had closed his eyes at first, opened his eyes wide and slapped his thigh exaggeratedly after the last scale fell, and said three "good" words in a row.

"Good! Good! Good! Very good! Although the voice is a little lacking, as if you haven't eaten enough, the foundation is really good, and after our packaging and promotion, you will definitely succeed. ”

"Really?" Park Shiyun looked at the manager with great surprise, this is the highest praise and affirmation he has heard in the month since he came to Seoul.

The manager nodded affirmatively, "Of course!" Now that I know how good you are, I'm going to want us to go so far? ”

"To what extent?" Park Shiyun only knows singing, and he doesn't know anything about anything other than singing, and he doesn't know to what extent it's packaged.

"That's right," the manager carefully explained, "If you want to become popular within half a year, our packaging fee is 150 million won, and if you want to become popular within a year, it is 70 million won." We will carry out a series of all-round packaging, planning, promotion and hype for you! Make an album! Then step by step, you will develop in an all-round way in film and television, ensuring that you will be popular all over the country, and even enter Hollywood. There's nothing we can't do, only what you can't imagine! This is also the purpose of our company. ”

Park Shiyun looked at him a little confused, and after listening to his long words, he said, "Are you saying that if I give your company 70 million, you can make me famous?" ”

The manager looked at him strangely, "Of course, we have relationships with major media such as TV stations, radio stations, and the Internet. ”

Park Shiyun looked at him embarrassed and said, "But how can I have so much money." I've been in Seoul for more than a month, and the only 30,000 won left on me is used as a fare, and I haven't drunk a sip of water or eaten a mouthful of food since last night. I don't even know where I'm going to stay tonight. ”

Hearing this, the manager's expression immediately became a little disdainful: "Then there is no way, our company is for young people who are prepared, since you are not ready, then we can't help it." ”

The manager's face changed faster than turning a book, and in the end, Park Shiyun was half-pushed out of the company office by the beautiful female secretary. The manager looked at the back of Park Shiyun walking out with a stupid face, and snorted disdainfully: "I don't have money and I want to be a star, go dream, poor ghost!" ”

Park Shiyun left the office building dejectedly, and he faintly heard the manager's last cursed words, but after a series of failed interviews, Park Shiyun also had a certain resistance to such blows, and did not turn around to him in anger to theorize. For the manager who painted a beautiful blueprint for himself and destroyed it with his own hands, Park Shiyun also sneered at him in his heart. I secretly told myself in my heart that the manager might just be an excuse to cheat himself out of his money by helping him realize his dream of stardom.

After leaving the office building, Park Shiyun looked up to the sky and sighed, "Alas, what should I do next, I don't even have money for food and accommodation, do I really want to live the life of a homeless man on the streets!" ”

Park Shiyun touched his already hungry stomach, and for a moment he was confused about his prospects. Is this the end of it? Do you just go home like this? When I left home, I once put down my ambitions, saying that I would never go home if I didn't become a star, but it was only a month of work, and I had to go home to compromise. You know, in order to come to Seoul, he almost fell out with his family, especially his father.

Fortunately, Park Shi-yoon is an optimist and quickly left these troubles behind. He just walked in the crowd, his stomach singing the empty city plan, this was the first time in his life that he had tasted hunger after leaving his parents.

Park Shiyun licked her lips and continued walking. Ten minutes later, as he walked past a street corner, he suddenly heard the sound of pulling an erhu.

The erhu is not a traditional Korean musical instrument, and it is still fresh to hear the sound of playing the erhu on the street. Following the sound and looking to the left front, a group of people were gathered under a green tree.

Park Shi-yoon stepped forward and pushed through the crowd. I saw an old man sitting on a stone bench under a green tree and pulling an erhu. The old man was dressed dirty, not like a showman, but like a bum. There was a jar in front of him, and the audience around him threw money into the jar in twos and threes, ranging from 1,200 won to 15,000 won, and it was estimated that there must be tens of thousands.

Looking at this scene, Park Shiyun was thoughtful.
