Chapter 42: Change
Kim Do-joon looked at himself, peeked at it privately, raised his head and looked at TigerJK, and said with a puzzled expression.
"Why can't I make my debut as a singer like this, aren't you similar to me?"
Kim Do-jun looked at himself, although he didn't look like a beautiful man, and he didn't belong to a particularly stylish category, but at least in this country with excessive plastic surgery, he was pretty good.
Of course, it can't be compared with some idol artists, the youth rice they eat, after a long time, fans get tired of watching it, and their popularity will naturally decline, and no one will always stand at the peak of the entertainment industry.
"You look at your hair, you don't usually do image management, and you don't manage your style and skin well, just wear a T-shirt and a hat, you can usually be alone at home, it doesn't matter, you have to pay attention to your image when you come out in the future, now you are the singer of our company, don't go out and embarrass me, although I am like this, it doesn't matter, I am in my thirties, there is nothing to care about, you are only nineteen years old, the road of singer has just begun, work hard."
tigerjk said a lot of things seriously, after all, he was a singer he signed, and his expectations for Daojun are also very high, so he naturally wants to instill more experience in being an artist.
"Brother Tiger, what do you think I should do?" Kim Do-joon asked respectfully.
Tigerjk thought for a while, looked at Kim Do-joon's eyes and said: "Why don't you find a stylist first, after all, you are also going to make your debut as an artist, agents and stylists are all necessary, and it is best to be a private stylist, so that it is not only reassuring, but also easy to use." ”
Generally speaking, agents and stylists are more private, because many artists have their own little secrets, except for the more pro agents who know, stylists generally know, so stylists not only have to shoulder the responsibility of makeup and styling of artists, but sometimes they also have to keep secrets for artists.
Therefore, many big-name artists are full-time private stylists and will not share them with others. And there is the most critical hair in makeup, and the hairstyle of each artist is very important, varied, stunning, and handsome are all things that stylists need to consider.
You also have to match clothes for various occasions for artists, costumes for award ceremonies, costumes for announcements, and costumes for parties all need to be carefully prepared, the Korean entertainment industry, especially for newcomers, has no opportunity to choose clothes freely, it is all stylists to arrange what kind of clothes you wear, if it is sponsored by a brand company, there is no right to choose, it is completely a state of selection, which is also the reason why many newcomers are depressed, they originally liked a dress next to them, but they were arranged to wear clothes they didn't like, It's really hard now.
After all, South Korea's entertainment industry is so developed, many newspapers and magazines like to make various evaluations of the artist's dress, and they are very beautiful or handsome, the first is the merit of the artist, the good look and the like, the second is that the clothes are good, the style and version are very suitable for the artist's figure, and the third is the turn of the stylist, saying that the match is good or something.
So good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, which is also the sadness of stylists.
"Well, then please ask Brother Tiger to recommend one to me, I'm not familiar with it here, and I don't know these stylists." Kim Do-joon replied honestly.
"Well, I'll ask my stylist to contact them, their shop is in Cheongdam-dong in the Gangnam area, there should be some stylists in the store, by the way, the price of stylists over there is not cheap, you have to be prepared." tigerjk deliberately joked that he knew that Daojun had opened a company in the United States, but he didn't know the scale, and he probably heard it from Li Yongzhe.
"Then thank you Brother Tiger, if you find it, call me directly, I'll go directly to the store to do it, if there's nothing to do, I'll go back, I'm going to go to Myeongdong in the afternoon, I haven't bought clothes for a long time, wait until I make my debut, I'm afraid it's too late, I'll go pick out a few clothes first." After speaking, he stood up directly and prepared to leave.
"Well, okay, then I won't bother you, rest well, pay attention to your body, and if you want to be so easy in the future, it's impossible, get ready, fighting." TigerJK gestured at Kim Do-joon, clenched his fists and said.
Kim Do-joon and TigerJK touched their fists and left the company directly, and suddenly Do-joon felt indescribably relaxed, as if a big stone in his heart was suddenly unloaded.
Picked up the phone and dialed Han Chenghao.
"Hey, Brother Cheng Hao, I signed a contract." Jin Daojun said in a low voice, although his voice was very small, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a good-looking smile.
"Really! You've finally fulfilled your wish, and even though it's only a small step now, that's a good start, or I'll pick you up right now and we'll celebrate. ”
Han Sung-ho was also very happy when he heard the news of Kim Do-joon's signing, and was ready to hurry over to meet and celebrate with Kim Do-joon.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door of the company, or we'll go shopping in the afternoon, anyway, I'm going to make my debut as a singer, and I have to buy a few decent clothes!"
Kim Do-joon thought about it and said with a smile.
"Hehe, our Young Master Jin actually wants to go shopping too, this is really rare, okay, wait for me a little, I'll go over and pick you up right away, and we'll talk about it when we meet."
After saying that, he quickly cleaned up and drove the nanny car to pick up Kim Do-joon.
The two of them walked around the streets of Myeongdong for a long time, but they kept walking, and they didn't buy anything, not that there were too few shops and boutiques, but Kim Do-joon didn't like it very much, either particularly formal suits, or casual clothes.
Jin Daojun, like a girl, likes to look around, but he didn't buy a single one, and even Han Chenghao, who was following, was a little dissatisfied, so he took Jin Daojun's bank card and swiped it casually a few times, bought himself a few clothes, and "errand fees." ”
In the end, there was no way, I could only return empty-handed, and on the way back, I also told Han Chenghao that I had dinner with Yongzhege in the evening, after all, the song still has to cooperate with Leessang, and I have to have a good relationship with the agent, not to mention that they are all from a company, last time Brother Yongzhe helped himself and introduced himself to Brother TigerJK, and thanks to Brother Yongzhe, I have to thank him this time, so when I passed by a watch store just now, I went in and bought a new watch as a gift, Although the price is not very high, it is quite good for his current income as a broker.
After the two of them made an appointment with Li Yongzhe on the time and place, they went directly to the hotel.
The sun had just set, and there were not many people eating in the restaurant, and there were five or six people sitting sparsely in the hall.
As soon as he entered the hotel, he saw that Brother Yongzhe was already sitting in his seat and began to wait for him.
"Hello Brother Yongzhe." Kim Do-joon quickly took off his shoes and walked over, the place he made an appointment with today was a very traditional Korean barbecue restaurant, so the furnishings in the store are very traditional, and the style of traditional hanoks is everywhere, and even the small cushions are very delicate and full of classical beauty.
"Daojun and Cheng Hao are here." After Li Yongzhe saw the two people coming in, he also stood up and greeted.
The three of them hugged each other, quite American.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng Hao, I just signed a contract in the company in the morning, and after seeing my sample, Brother Tiger said that it was not bad, thank you for your help."
Jin Daojun bowed slightly, thanking him from the bottom of his heart, if it weren't for Li Yongzhe's strong recommendation, he might not even be able to see Brother Tiger's face, let alone let himself have the opportunity to try it once, and it would be impossible to sign a contract in the end, which Li Yongzhe has made great contributions.
"Daojun, it's so polite, I'm just a guide, the company won't sign a singer casually because of my face, the most important thing is the singer itself, if Brother Tiger thinks he can sign you, it means that he has made a decision and is optimistic about your potential, besides, Cheng Hao and I have been friends for many years, this little favor should still be, please come on more in the future." After speaking, he patted Kim Do-joon's shoulder.
Han Chenghao stood next to him, watching the two people boast to each other, and suddenly felt happy, the two of them praised each other in front of themselves, and what did they think of themselves. So he smiled and laughed.
"Two busy people, can you sit down first, and then talk slowly after ordering food, what are you doing standing here, do you compare your height?"
The three of them finally looked at each other and laughed.
"By the way, Brother Yongzhe, I bought a gift when I came, please accept it, a small gift is not a tribute." Kim Do-jun took out the wrapped gift from the bag next to him, handed it to Lee Yong-cheol with both hands, and said.
"Daojun, you're too polite, how embarrassing is this." Li Yongzhe didn't take it, just looked at Kim Do-jun and then at Han Sung-ho, and said in embarrassment.
"Yongzhe, since Daojun gave it to you, you can accept it, you deserve this." Han Chenghao suddenly found Kim Do-jun looking at him, blinked his eyes, and knew what Kim Do-jun meant, so he hurriedly spoke up.
After the last three people pushed and gave in, Li Yongzhe finally accepted the gift, there was no way, he couldn't resist the two people.
Since the gift has been accepted, the atmosphere has naturally become more harmonious, the three of them are talking and laughing, Li Yongzhe also talks about some secrets in the entertainment industry from time to time, and there are some noteworthy news, he will make his debut soon, he will not suffer a loss as soon as possible, in case he accidentally offends a senior, maybe he will wear small shoes for himself.
Kim Dojun nodded while listening carefully, in fact, a lot of what Li Yongzhe said, he already knew that although he was very valuable, after all, he was still in South Korea, there was no foundation, no strength, no relationship, and no background, so it was the right choice to be a low-key talent.
In the Korean entertainment industry, the rich second generation is not allowed to play big names, and if your qualifications do not reach this point, you are not allowed to have privileges, unless you are an investor in this drama, but even if you invest, it is only a small-scale operation, and a large-scale operation cannot be operated at all, they can't control the TV station and producers, and they can't ask others to tailor a TV station for you, no matter how valuable your family is hundreds of times, you have to be a man with your tail between your legs in the entertainment industry, and some rich second generations enter the showbiz, not only will they not enjoy privileges, Sometimes I will suffer unfair treatment because of my identity, such as Sunny, the niece of S.M President Lee so-man, when I first trained, others would say that she came in by a relationship, so I isolated her, but I didn't know that she had been practicing for a long time, even if you are excellent and working hard, in the eyes of many people, you have a background halo, and ordinary people will not recognize your strength and acting skills.
So although the identity of the rich second generation in South Korea sounds glamorous, sometimes they have to bear more pressure than ordinary people.
Although Kim Dojun is not a rich second generation, he doesn't want his identity to be exposed, living in the sight of others is a very painful thing, there is no freedom at all, he feels that he is watched by others all the time, and even eating and drinking water every day will become a hot spot on the Internet, maybe this is called gaining and losing.
"Brother Yongzhe, after Brother Tiger listened to my song in the morning, he told me that this song may be very suitable for cooperation with Leessang, I want to ask you, if you are free, can you make an appointment for me, I want to meet them." Kim Do-joon asked cautiously, it is really a very distressing thing to ask others.
"Okay, I'll help you ask tomorrow, let's meet if you're free, to be honest, their popularity is not very high now, and there aren't many announcements, it's good to have time to meet more, just make friends."
Li Yongzhe picked up the cup and took a big sip of it, and the soju flowed out along the gap in his mouth, and the taste was indescribable.
Which agent doesn't want his artist to be a little busier and have more announcements, which economist doesn't like his artist to earn a little more and advertise more, but the reality is like this, what is there to complain about!
It's a pity that the three of them are together, drinking, eating barbecue, and chatting, but of course Kim Do-joon can't drink, which is really a pity.
Han Sung-ho and Lee Yong-chul talked about the past when they were young, and now they have a special taste in retrospect.
Kim Do-jun muttered in a low voice beside him: "A man without a girlfriend is really lonely!" ”
