Chapter 300: A Rare Vacation
The girls laughed and the scene was fragrant. is extremely gorgeous, although they are still teenagers, they are all very anxious to develop, and their figures are not to mention, and Li Junxi can't help but be embarrassed here.
"Ahem! Cough! ”
The girls were reminded by Li Junxi, and then they realized that there was a big man here, and when they were playing just now, the ~~~~~~~~~ of their clothes was also very embarrassing.
Li Junxi laughed twice, hiding his embarrassment, and quickly diverted the topic: "That's it!" You've been tired lately, so why don't you take a day off tomorrow, and how about I take you out to play? ”
During this time, Princess has really worked hard, it seems that they have not had a good rest since they were preparing for their debut, of course, in the Korean entertainment industry, this is also a commonplace thing.
As long as you have the heart to enter this circle, first of all, it means hard work, from the time of the trainee, this kind of hard work must always be with you, every day to learn to dance, learn to sing, learn to perform.
But it's not that the world is too peaceful after the debut, there are too many Korean ISOLs, as an artist, you must always maintain your freshness and exposure rate, and there can be no negative news.
Princess's treatment in NRG is definitely excellent, things like S.M's companies that beat artists happen from time to time, in the earliest HOT period, Moon Hee-jun was beaten to the point that he couldn't perform on stage, or the agent forcibly gave him a closed injection and let him go on stage, which was all experienced by Lee Jun-hee himself.
There is also SES who was once locked up in a small black house, and then the most famous mythical andy was beaten to the point of wearing a mask on stage because he didn't buy food for the popular female singer, and then he was driven back to the United States for a year, and finally junjin called to participate in the convening of 10,000 people, and then called Andy back to the team.
Being an artist is really a very hard profession, and what about the actor's side, Lee Jun-hee doesn't know very well. But on the singer's side, Lee Jun-hee has experienced it personally.
First of all, as a trainee of the brokerage company, in the spare time according to their own characteristics of performance, singing, lyrics and composition, etiquette, culture, and human education, etc., such days should last at least more than a year, most trainees have 2 to 4 years of trainee career. Some are even 7 or 8 years, and during the time they are about to debut, they have to train intensively, have about ten hours of practice every day, and also carry out diet control and physical training to maintain their shape. If you want to win awards, you have to be on various variety shows, day and night, it's okay to sleep four hours a day. There are also all kinds of questioning scandals, and even the expressions have to be strictly managed, artists, it's really not who wants to be. You can do it.
This is probably the principle that if you want to take it first, you must give it first!
The princess is now enjoying their stardom while paying the hard work. Naturally, it is a matter of course, they are now popular, in the field of women's groups, there is no opponent at all, a Suger, a Seeya, there is no way to compete with them, although they are still in the newcomer stage, but various variety show invitations, CF invitations, so that they have no chance to rest now.
Although Li Junxi forcibly stipulated that they must be guaranteed rest time every day, but how can this kind of thing be guaranteed, once they are really busy, even if Li Junxi is very sympathetic to them, he can only be ruthless and let them continue to work hard.
Because Li Junxi has been from the trainee era to the present, he really knows this circle too well, don't look at the princess is popular now, but once they make the slightest mistake, those who still hold them up as goddesses will immediately let them fall to the mortal dust.
This is the reality of the Korean entertainment industry, at least for now, no one can change it!
Princess is working so hard, Li Junxi is naturally very distressed when he looks at it, but he has no way at all, because the place where they live is the entertainment industry, and they are the objects of entertainment.
In addition to hard work, there is more mental pressure, don't look at the artist on the stage, but in fact?
In fact, Korean artists can't be respected at all, they are just ancillary products of brokerage companies, behind the infinite scenery of artists, there is a desolation and misery that ordinary people can't imagine, not only have to endure hard work, but also can't make any money, and often encounter violent problems.
Those artists who call for wind and rain on the stage, in the eyes of the senior management of economic companies, are just a chance to make money, and they don't even have the most basic personal dignity, and they will fight when they raise their hands.
Some time ago, TVXQ's strongest busybody, Changmin, once wore a mask on stage during a performance, and later an insider revealed that the day before the performance, he was severely beaten by the top management of the record company, and his face was no longer visible, but he also had to go on stage in this way.
There was another group whose members had to go on stage at a very large concert because he had been beaten to the point of fracture by the top of the record company the day before. But it's impossible to cancel the show, so they can only take a closed shot, and their concerts are not one a day like ordinary artists, but two a day.
Many young people enter this circle, in addition to their interests, a large part of the reason is that they hope to change their family's economic situation through the platform of guò, but in fact?
Apparently not!
Artists in the Korean entertainment industry, as long as they are popular, are basically very profitable, but it is not them who make money, but the brokerage company, for example, NRG at the beginning, when they were still active in the form of six people, it can be described as popular all over Asia, they are the pioneers of Korean artists to open up the Chinese market, every time they go to China for activities, fans will send gifts to them, there are many kinds of gifts at the beginning, but in the end, fans basically send some food, because these things are for them, That's the most important thing.
NRG is a special case to survive, but what they have experienced is still commonplace in the current entertainment industry, before when the seventh series was promoted, Lee Junxi once saw a mess in some artists' lounges, and the ground was full of packaging bags of various foods they had eaten, no need to ask, Lee Junxi also knew. Those artists often can't eat anything good, and at the same time, they have to face strong performances, which is definitely not to lose weight, under the irresponsibility of the record company, the living conditions of Korean artists are so difficult.
Artists are indeed very profitable, but the money goes into the pockets of the brokerage company, and it is good for the artists themselves to really get a few tenths of what they can get, and some even debuted for several years, and they can't even get a penny.
For example, the mythical Lee Min-woo. A few years after his debut, he had his own car, which is almost impossible among artists in other countries, but this car was bought by himself.
Korean agencies basically have quite high commissions, and most of the singers appear in the form of groups, so the money in their hands is very small, and a lot of this money is used to invest in performances. Therefore there is very little left at their disposal.
But even so, I have to work hard, because the Korean entertainment industry is very fast in survival of the fittest, so if the artist doesn't work hard. will be eliminated in an instant.
Every artist works very hard, and he will do his best in the TV series and entertainment programs he has starred in. Try to express yourself in the show, even for the show. They can do what they could possibly do, in such a way, to earn high ratings. At the same time, increase your exposure, everyone is no matter how many seniors and qualifications you have, you must do your best in the show, whether you are very popular or not, you must unconditionally obey the needs of the show, because if you don't work hard, you may be eliminated by this circle tomorrow.
You must know that South Korea's star-making is very fast, newcomers will emerge every year, newcomers are very beautiful and talented, if you don't work hard, you will be eliminated immediately, if there is any negative impact, you can't turn over, so artists are public figures and should be clean, but artists are not immortals, so you can make mistakes, but not all mistakes can be made.
Surviving in this environment, the pressure of Korean artists can be imagined, and in recent years, many artists have chosen to commit suicide because of negative news and excessive pressure on the director.
There are many well-known artists, because there is no acting, they can only be unemployed, so they cherish every opportunity given to them by TV stations and entertainment companies
Don't look at many Korean celebrities who always give people a glamorous appearance, but I don't know how much hard sweat and tears have to be paid behind this.
No one has the heart to understand how strict those well-known companies are for artists: you can't go out on the street casually without makeup, you can't take pictures of people's faces at airports and other places, and signing and asking for photos on informal occasions are conditions one by one.
Otherwise, they will be scolded and punished, slapped in the face, and banned for months or even years.
The place is not big, but there are many celebrities who can be counted, and as famous as South Korea's plastic surgery is the celebrities and family members who died by suicide.
In the Korean entertainment industry, where there are many newcomers, it is difficult to become famous, and newcomers who have just debuted are showing their faces everywhere, losing the advantage of "newcomers", and stars who have been tepid for many years abound.
And everyone's suicide is followed by a carnival of Korean media, digging gossip, looking for lovers, various hidden brokerage companies, and insiders breaking the news from time to time, they restore the scene, their dialogue reproduces, they are vibrating and speculating. They try to attract the attention of the audience through the so-called amazing inside story after guò, and make a profit on the celebrities who can no longer argue for themselves.
Therefore, surviving in the Korean entertainment industry is definitely a high-risk job, artists always have exquisite makeup, always fashionable clothes, are always well-trained in front of the media, can always answer questions without leaking, and can change the topic tightly, it doesn't seem to be difficult, but in order to make a living, it is actually more difficult than imagined.
Compared with the debut model of some drafts that became famous, most of them have to go through obscurity for several years, and the national host Liu Zaishi, the "Liu Dashen" in the minds of all hosts, has also been a familiar funny artist for many years.
Actor Song Seung-heon, who is famous for his role as Brother Junxi in "Blue Life and Death Love", also disappeared for several years because of the scandal of forging a hospital certificate to evade service. I made a very bad decision."
As an idol singer who is updated more frequently, the fierce competition is even more extraordinary, starting from the trainees, they have to receive training in singing, dancing, acting, language, etc., and those who are lucky enough to have an innate voice advantage like SJ member Jin Lixu, who took the stage after five months, are generally lucky like TVXQ's Kim Junxiu, who spanned primary school to middle school for six years during the trainee period, and there are also bad luck, who have not been able to meet the audience after many years of hard work. Pack your bags and leave quietly.
Even those who debuted don't mean anything, because in this circle, there are too few opportunities, first of all, the platform, artists want to show their faces on stage, except for MBC, KBS, and SBS, there is almost no other choice.
As stars, they have to rack their brains in order to be on the show, and they have to be willing to play ugly as required. On the one hand, they are the perfect "Oba" in the fairy tales of Korean dramas that have been the same for decades, but on the other hand, they are walking on the tip of a knife in the thrilling and treacherous Korean entertainment industry, the road is dangerous and long, but there are almost no shortcuts.
There are very few Korean celebrities to choose from. Therefore, they can only do their best to let these few opportunities to pity themselves, their star journey is difficult and long.
NRG was the same at the beginning, as the captain Lee Sung-jin had to put away his light in order for the members to be able to appear on the show together. Playing the role of Gagman in the show, Cheon Myung-hoon must also forget about his talent in order to be able to regularly appear in "Love Letters". Concentrate on playing the burden boy.
These are all experienced by Lee Jun-hee personally, and he doesn't want to repeat it on Princess, so all along, he has been doing his best to protect and take care of him, but in this circle, there are many things that he can't help himself.
Since the day Princess was preparing to debut, she has been living in high-intensity training every day, and after her debut, the song "Nobody" became popular, and their hard work is also increasing day by day, these are things that Lee Junxi is powerless to change, and there is no way to change them, Princess wants to survive in this circle, not by Li Junxi's care, which requires their own efforts.
Hearing Li Junxi say that they could rest tomorrow and take them out to play, they were all stunned, and after a while, they broke out into cheers.
Before they debuted and became famous, they longed for their current life, but after they really got it, they found that this kind of life was not enjoyable at all, it was simply torture, it was painful torture, but once they entered, there was no way back, they could only work hard to move forward and succeed.
“OPPA! It's true! Can it really be? Can you really rest tomorrow!? Jin Yarong, the youngest, was trembling when he spoke.
Li Junxi listened, and his heart was also full of pity, during this time, the girls were really hard: "Of course it's true, when did I lie to you!" ”
After getting Lee Jun-hee's assurance, the girls cheered again, but Choi Ji-na couldn't help but be a little worried: "But OPPA, we have an announcement tomorrow!" ”
Lee Jun-hee smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll inform Kim Ki-joon, postpone your announcement if it can be postponed, and push it off if it can't!" ”
Before coming to Princess's dormitory, Lee Jun-hee had learned from Kim Ki-joon that Princess's itinerary tomorrow is not very much, there are two CFs, as well as flat posters, and then there are several variety shows on cable stations, CF and print advertising shooting can be postponed, with the face of NRG, the other party will not set up obstacles, as for those shows, think of some reasons, and they can also be pushed off.
During this time, Princess is really hard, after all, they are all girls who are not yet twenty years old, according to the Korean algorithm, they are not yet adults, although they usually complain, but no one drops the chain because they can't stand the hardship, which makes Li Junxi pity them even more.
They are all young girls, who can refuse such a temptation, even Cui Zhina, who is the most stable on weekdays, can't help but cheer along.
“OPPA! I want to go to Lotte Playground tomorrow, is that okay? ”
"Yes!"
"I want to go shopping tomorrow! OPPA! May I? ”
"Yes, I will pay for tomorrow's expenses, including your purchases!"
"Hooray! Long live OPPA! That's right! OPPA! I still want to go for a barbecue! May I? ”
"Yes~~~~~~~ yes! You can eat as much as you want, but you have to deal with the problem of body management! ”
Li Junxi is also out of the way today, no matter what the girls want to do tomorrow, he will respond to their needs, but in terms of body management, Li Junxi has no way to do this, Princess has a full-time body management assistant, and the girls' weights are all on the record with him, and Li Junxi is not easy to meddle in this matter.
"That's it! Rest well today, and we'll have fun tomorrow! ”
"Long live OPPA!" (To be continued......)
