Chapter 23: The Rift
Walking out of Park Jin-young's office, holding the invitation to the Blue Dragon Film Festival in his hand, Han Kwon-woo couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement. Han Quanyou knows very well what an honor it is for a singer to be invited to the Blue Dragon Film Festival. Not to mention anything else, as long as I tell Rain or God and others about this, I'm afraid I will definitely be jealous of them.
"Brother, help me see what itineraries are available today, and what itineraries can't be pushed forward in the past month." The originally happy face instantly became expressionless after seeing the agent Hong Daquan. Sitting in the nanny car, while driving towards MBC TV station, preparing to put on a music program, he asked Hong Daquan.
"Well, let me see, today is first an interview with a music program on MBC TV, and then I will go to Cao Chengmo's new album launch conference, and I will participate in two late-night radio stations in the evening, which is basically all for today. There are not many trips that can't be pushed in this month, but it's not very few, and you're afraid you'll have to work harder. ”
As an agent, Hong Daquan can be said to know Han Quanyou's recent itinerary well, Han Quanyou opened his mouth to ask, and Hong Daquan answered without even thinking about it.
"Uh~ Kwon You, even if you get an invitation to the Blue Dragon Film Festival, you don't have to be so happy." As Han Quanyou's agent, it is impossible for Hong Daquan not to know about such a major event as being invited by the program team of the Blue Dragon Film Festival.
"It's nothing, but this month, brother, you can help me arrange it, and I will be on a few more music charts, and the president will ask me to bring a few trainees from the company." Han Quanyou said lightly.
"Well, I'll arrange this. But Kwon You, if you really add music programs, I'm afraid your schedule will be very busy, can you survive it? For Han Quanyou, Hong Daquan is very satisfied, after all, Han Quanyou's success has also directly achieved Hong Daquan's status in the agent world. Therefore, for Han Quanyou, Hong Daquan really cares.
"There's no way, after all, the president said that even if you're busy, you have to hold on. Don't you believe me, my body isn't great. After speaking, Han Quanyou closed his eyes directly, no longer looking at Hong Daquan, looking like he was ready to close his eyes and recuperate, and he didn't want to speak.
Saying this, Han Quanyou's heart was also very bitter. In fact, Han Quanyou didn't want to be busy all day long, and he didn't have time to rest when he was tired. It's just that I don't care if I want it or not, but I have to do it.
Although he is currently the first brother of JYP, he has a high status in Park Jinrong's heart. But it all comes from there, not because you can make money for the company, but because you make a lot of money.
If it weren't for this, Park Jin-young wouldn't care so much about himself at all, just like the last time when Kim Hyun-ah was a girl, she dared to go against Park Jin-young, not because she could make money and had confidence.
It is precisely because he can make money that Park Zhenrong will tolerate himself, and even let himself. If I can't make money and I'm nothing, I'm afraid I would have been beaten up by Park Zhenrong a long time ago, and then driven away, although Park Zhenrong couldn't beat himself.
For all this, Han Quanyou has always had a sense of crisis in his heart, and he was able to make his debut not by his own efforts and talents, but by Rain's deed of sale. He can be so beautiful, and he can even work against Park Zhenrong and become the idol of the company's employees and trainees, also because he can make money.
If he can't make money, Han Quanyou knows very well that he will probably be nothing at that time, and no one will look up to him, and no one will pity him.
It is precisely because of this sense of crisis that in normal times, Han Kwon Woo is still very obedient to the arrangement of his agent or Park Zhenrong, rushing more trips, participating in more activities, and making more money. Why, it's not for myself to feel better, after all, it has been more than a year since he stepped into the entertainment industry, and Han Quanyou has also begun to adapt to the busy life of an artist.
If Han Quanyou is really allowed to leave the entertainment industry, Han Quanyou himself will be completely confused, not knowing what he should do and what he can do. Therefore, when necessary, even if you work hard and tired, you have to grit your teeth and carry it.
In fact, this kind of thing not only happened to Han Quanyou, but also among all popular artists. Park Jin-young is okay, at least he will say hello to Han Quanyou, if Han Quanyou resolutely disagrees, I'm afraid he won't say anything.
Imagine Li Xiuman of MS Company, and then look at TVXQ, which is currently busy with his schedule, and even if he is sick, he has to grit his teeth. Thinking of this, Han Quanyou felt that he was still very happy.
looked at Han Quanyou, but didn't find any expression, and Hong Daquan didn't say anything, just drove silently. After all, for Hong Daquan, although he cares about Han Quanyou very much, in the final analysis, he is Han Quanyou's agent.
And Hong Daquan has also understood a little bit recently, Han Quanyou is already very disgusted with the fact that he didn't say hello and directly discussed with Park Zhenrong about taking over the trip, which can be said to be very dangerous for Hong Daquan.
The usual agent doesn't care what you think about the artist, whether you want it or not, whether you are comfortable or not. What the agent cares about is that you have to be honest and walk through the itinerary you have set and planned, and you have to perform well.
In the Korean entertainment industry, agents teach their artists a lesson at every turn, and even scold, whether it is imprisonment for artists to wear small shoes, as well as a series of disrespectful behaviors such as handing over mobile phones, etc., which can be said to be very common.
This is also why artists, especially newcomers, tend to work very hard. is not only to be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, but also to be able to become popular, increase in popularity, and increase income. At the same time, I also hope to become a top artist as soon as possible, and then I will be qualified to protect myself and protect my rights and interests.
A typical example is Lee Hyori, who is unhappy with his agent, it doesn't matter, when Lee Hyori became a recognized national goblin and became a top singer, the first thing he did was to replace his agent.
Whether it is the replaced agent or the company to which Lee Hyori belongs, they dare not make a noise, why, it is not because Lee Hyori is qualified to do this, has status, influence, and more importantly, is popular and can make money for the company, so the company naturally wants to hold Lee Hyori and appease Lee Hyori's dissatisfaction, and Lee Hyori is what he says.
After all, agents generally tend to prefer the brokerage company to which the artist belongs, and both parties have some small agreements in private, as for the content, it is definitely for the artist, which will make the artist very sad and uncomfortable.
If Lee Hyori doesn't have status and popularity, he can't make money with the company, and he can't replace his agent, and I'm even afraid that he will be blocked, scolded, or even beaten.
If you have not reached a certain status and strength, you are not qualified to talk to the broker at all, and even the company will not help you, but help your agent. Anyway, if you are disobedient and directly blocked, it is definitely a game to death without you negotiating.
Therefore, the agent is always the most vigilant person for the artist, which is probably also the sadness of the agent. On the one hand, it is cost-effective with the artist's company how to squeeze every drop of the artist's energy, so as to bring more money income and fame to himself.
Once the artist becomes popular and turns over, he will naturally suffer unilateral revenge from the artist, and I am afraid that he will face the tragic ending of being driven away by the artist and the agency to which he belongs.
Hong Daquan is also an old fritter, it can be said that more than ten years have passed in this regard, Hong Daquan has seen more and is used to it. Don't look at the usual good relationship with Han Quanyou, but Hong Daquan knows very well that Han Quanyou will definitely guard against himself. Even recently, I have become a little estranged from myself, unlike at the beginning, I told myself everything.
Thinking of this, Hong Daquan couldn't help but sigh, in the final analysis, after all, he was arranged by Park Jinrong for Han Quanyou, not Han Quanyou himself. In Han Quanyou's heart, I am afraid that he has long been imprinted by Han Quanyou with the idea of being with Park Jin-young.
Hong Daquan knows very well that there is a crack in the relationship between the two sides now, and although it has not officially broken down, this is already a very dangerous thing. Now whether it is Hong Daquan or Han Quanyou, they are pretending to be stupid and almost maintaining the current situation.
If the two can continue to maintain their relationship like this, there may be a chance to change back to the way they used to be. But once there is any accident in the process, then Han Quanyou and Hong Daquan will definitely turn their faces completely and become enemies.
Therefore, considering the current popularity and status of Han Quanyou, Hong Daquan has been very careful in everything he has done recently, and he has also thought about Han Quanyou everywhere. Why, it's not that he was afraid of making Han Quanyou dissatisfied, so he drove himself away. With Han Quanyou's current status and popularity, as well as the income he can bring to JYP, Hong Daquan is very sure that as long as Han Quanyou speaks, then without Han Quanyou's action, Park Zhenrong will definitely take the initiative to jump out and drive himself away.
Don't look at Hong Daquan and Park Zhenrong together, but in the face of interests, all relationships and alliances are like fragile paper, which will be shattered if you tear it lightly.
To say that before, Hong Daquan did have the idea of controlling Han Quanyou and turning Han Quanyou into a machine for making his own fame and making money, as for Han Quanyou's reaction, whether he could bear it, Hong Daquan didn't think about it at all, and it can even be said that he didn't care at all.
But Hong Daquan couldn't have imagined that Han Quanyou would become popular so quickly and so suddenly. Now Hong Daquan no longer has the qualifications and methods to control Han Quanyou's thoughts, so he can only honestly be Han Quanyou's agent, and begin to focus on Han Quanyou's thoughts and think about Han Quanyou. After all, as Han Quanyou's agent, with the contract signed at the beginning, Hong Daquan will also get a high income. (Calculated as a percentage of Han Kwonwoo's monthly income, of course, this is also considering Han Kwonwoo's strong earning ability.) There is also a kind of company that gives the agent itself, rather than the artist's own burden, this kind of agent, it can be said that it is the person of the brokerage company, everything is based on the brokerage company, and often the relationship between the artist and this kind of agent is definitely not much better) A high-income job, Hong Daquan is reluctant to let go.
