On the stage of "Popular Ballad", after her debut, the princess, who won one place on the first list, couldn't hide her excitement and cried so much that she couldn't stop crying.

Princess is lucky, they were lucky to enter the NRG company, lucky to meet Lee Junxi, a gold medal Zuò person, in the history of the Korean music industry, they are also lucky to create a history, before Princess, there has never been any newcomer, can hit the list for the first time after their debut, and they will receive one of the song programs.

Even HOT, FIN.KL, SES, and TVXQ have never done it, but they did.

The hard work paid off, and in this moment, the princess girl could not find a better way to vent her feelings than tears.

The next thing to go is the encore stage, Park Chulong, who had already discovered Lee Junxi, grabbed the trophy, ran in front of Lee Junxi in a few steps, stuffed the trophy into his hand, and then turned around and stood in a good position, when the music sounded again, although the dance steps were not chaotic at all, but the voice was really not flattering, but no one blamed them, but it proved that Princess was really singing on the stage, and their performance was sincere.

Because most of K-pop is dance music, it is really reluctant to sing while dancing, so most singers will choose lip-syncing when performing live, and fans don't care, although they prefer singers to sing live, but lip-syncing is not unacceptable, but anyone who has the courage to sing live will be classified into the ranks of singers and be loved by more people.

NRG has always been singing live, and Moon Chengxun, who released a mini album before, is also a real singer, and of course he also has this requirement for Princess, who also belongs to NRG.

Look at the princess who is on the encore stage, and then look at the trophy in her hand. There are already many of the same trophies in the NRG, but the princess's one is really different.

Princess got the first one since their debut, and the already very high popularity has been increased a lot again, and the number of officially registered knights has also exceeded 150,000 in one fell swoop, although there is still a gap compared with the company's predecessor NRG, and the popular combination TVXQ of S.M company, but considering that they have just debuted, Princess's popularity has risen rapidly. It can definitely be called riding a rocket to rush upward.

Princess's return to the stage was a great success, and all the resources of the NRG company began to shift to Princess, and for a while, the girls' schedules were full, even if it was Lee Jun-hee, it was not easy to see them in the company or in the dormitory.

However, regarding Princess's itinerary, Lee Jun-hee also issued a hard and fast rule to their agent Kim Ki-joon. Girls must be guaranteed at least six hours of sleep a day, and although it is important to make money, it must not be ranked above health.

From the day the NRG company was founded. Lee Jun-hee never thought that he would turn the company into a brokerage company like most of the agencies in South Korea, especially after being controlled by two vampires Kim Tae-hyun and Jung Won-kwan for so many years, Lee Jun-hee didn't want to join the hated vampire army himself.

Lee Jun-hee has always wanted to create a family atmosphere at NRG. Now NRG, Yoon Eun-hye, Princess. There are also artists launched by the company in the future, all of whom are members of this family.

I don't want to let myself and the artist have a simple employment relationship, and I don't want to fall out with any of the company's artists in the future because of economic interests.

It can be said that Lee Jun-hee's approach is completely breaking the existing rules of the Korean entertainment industry, and once Princess's brokerage contract is exposed in the future, NRG will inevitably be suppressed by those with vested interests.

If you don't squeeze artists, how can you get benefits!

This is the usual thinking in the minds of the top executives of most Korean brokerage companies, many people think that those new talents in the Korean entertainment industry are squeezed and controlled by the brokerage company, but in fact, those insatiable brokerage companies are not only newcomers, but even popular stars such as Jun Ji-hyun, Choi Ji-woo, Moon Geun-young and other are victims, and their respective brokerage companies will require them to disclose all the details of their private lives when they sign an acting contract. Even when they fall in love or break up, the agency can control them behind their backs, they have no personal space at all, and they have completely become the private property of the brokerage company.

People can see that Korean artists respect their agents very much and dare not disobey their instructions, Lee Jun-hee had heard Yoo Jae-seok say that he once had dinner with Jun Ji-hyun, but the agent didn't say to start, and Jun Ji-hyun didn't even dare to touch the chopsticks.

Personal freedom is restricted, economic interests cannot be guaranteed, and those stars in the Korean entertainment industry don't look glamorous on the stage and dazzling in front of the camera, but they are really not generous financially.

After the artist's debut, some agencies will sign an "unequal" contract with them, which is generally at least 10 years, such as NRG, whose previous contract with MF was 10 years.

After their debut, the artist needs to repay a huge amount of money to the company, which includes the one qiē that the company spent on them after they entered the agency, which is why Choi Ji-na had to pay him back when Lee Jun-hee gave Princess money before.

After the end of the repayment, you can sign a revenue sharing agreement with the company, and the distribution of income is generally more than 70% of the brokerage company, and the same situation in Hollywood, the United States, the big-name brokerage company will charge 10%, no more than 40%, for newcomers, the company will take 40% of the sky.

In addition to freedom and economic interests, Korean artists also need to be prepared to be punished from time to time, the relationship between seniors and juniors in the Korean entertainment industry is very clear, if any member of the group is disobedient, it is normal for older players to punch and kick as brothers, in South Korea, if artists want to be popular, they must be "obedient". If they do not comply, the company will impose a ban order.

In addition, from the black. There are many cases of changing careers to become agents after leaving the Taoist organization in South Korea, such as actor Kwon Sang-woo has been intimidated and threatened by his agent. People like Bae Yongjun, Lee Byung-hun, Lee Young-ae and others have all set up their own small companies after the expiration of their contracts, but in general, there are only a handful of stars like them who can be independent.

In the Korean entertainment industry, no matter how popular an artist is, as long as he does not reach the real national level, he cannot escape the control of the brokerage company and be in front of the brokerage company. They didn't fight back at all, that's the status quo.

Star?

You?

People are starting to know about you, so they think you're very famous, right?

You think you're a little taller, don't you?

But in fact, it's only your heels that get taller, just a little height.

This is the true portrayal of those artists who survive in the Korean entertainment industry.

Therefore, in the Korean entertainment industry, don't think that you are popular, you really think that you are a star.

In Korea, it's always possible to discover artists. Even if you stand on the side of the road, you may be spotted by a talent scout.

The agency invests in money, the artist invests in youth, and the idea of the agency is to put a watch that was originally only 20 yuan. Sell it for 10,000 yuan.

Once you become an artist, you have to live a life of "great pressure", South Korea is the only country in the world that implements the online real-name system, and there is strong pressure from public opinion. Sometimes it can make a person collapse in an instant.

The character of Koreans is summed up as "aluminum-hot pot root", which means that when there is a little fire, it will heat up quickly, and the fire will cool down as soon as it is turned off.

Korean artists have been very successful. But they are completely different in private and in front of fans, they all live very cautiously, work very hard, and endure the "oppression" of the company, under layers of pressure, every Korean artist is walking on thin ice.

Although it is understandable that Korean agencies have a lot of requirements to protect artists, on the other hand, some agents use this to "make trouble" and ruin the image of artists, and what they show is greed.

The biggest trouble of the Korean brokerage company's "evil deeds" was Song Hye Kyo's earlier visit. Country. Platform. b. Participate in business events. Her Korean brokerage company simply treats the organizer as a "big water fish", in addition to calling room service for a night to eat 70,000 NT$ of food, even calling a masseur has to pay the bill, and later directly asked for the extra return ticket to be directly discounted, the organizer can't bear to be so "advantageous" of the brokerage company, and spit out bitterness to the media after the press conference.

Coincidentally, Cai Lin took over the filming of "Love in the Aegean Sea". During the filming of the exterior filming, it was also rumored that his agency was dissatisfied with the hotel room, and asked the crew to change from the suburbs to the downtown hotel, and had many requirements for the facilities in the room, and even waited until the fax machine and other equipment were complete before they were willing to start filming.

In addition, some Korean agents also looted their things before leaving the hotel after the event, so that the organizers could only "silently" pay the bill.

Don't look at the Korean stars who are energetic and beautiful on stage, in fact, most of them are pretending to be bitter. Many "corners" who have become famous have compared their economic companies to "bloodsucking leeches" behind their backs, and some celebrities simply say that they are the "slaves" of the company.

This is because most of the contracts signed by celebrities with companies before they become famous are "unequal treaties", according to the contract, the newcomer's performance fee is often taken by the company, and if you are dissatisfied with this and want to leave the company early, you will have to pay astronomical liquidated damages.

The darkest thing is that, and even worse, some companies and makers often force sex with potential newcomers when they are not famous. Close. Tie and make zuò videotapes, and stay in the company as a "mortgage", so as to control and contain the newcomer, and prevent the newcomer from being hollowed out after becoming famous.

Korean Performing Arts Company with Black. It has long been an open secret that society has something to do with it, and in South Korea, black. Society mainly intervenes in the entertainment industry in two ways, and the more traditional way is the "settling the problem" style, which is to pull a "team" and "settle" things by intimidation, fighting, etc.

Korean performing arts companies are blooming everywhere, but it is more difficult for Korean newcomers to enter the entertainment industry than to ascend to the sky. Some non-standard performing arts companies use "cultivating and launching new talents" as a bait to deceive people and cheat money. If an artist wants to become popular, he has to drink alcohol and sleep with others. Behind it is the control of the black forces, and the black forces also intervene in the entertainment industry as investors with their strong financial resources. holds shares in performing arts companies, and some also directly invest in making movies and become the force behind them. If an artist is disobedient, don't blame them for being unkind.

So, in South Korea. Even if it is a popular artist, it is not generous financially, the commission of the artist agency is basically quite high, and the share ratio agreed in the contract of some popular artists is 1 to 9, that is, the artist takes 1 percent, and the company takes 9 percent.

However, it is rare for an artist in the Korean entertainment industry to "turn his face" with the agency after becoming famous, and once the contract is broken, public opinion will point the finger at the artist. Reviled by the world.

At the beginning, when NRG left MF, Kim Tae-hyun also pretended to be pitiful, and frequently complained in interviews, reprimanding NRG for treachery. It has already caused public outrage among fans of the NRG.

It can be said that behind the seemingly glamorous aura of Korean artists, there are too many unspeakable secrets, and they live a high degree of tension every day. A stressful acting life.

Lee Jun-hee doesn't want the NRG company to become such a "bloodsucking leech", for his artists, he works hard to make the other party feel the warmth of family, not only financially. It's the same in life.

Therefore, the seven girls of Princess are lucky to be able to join the NRG company, if they change to another company. I'm afraid that after their debut single becomes popular, they will immediately become a cash cow for the brokerage company, and they want to rest, which is delusional.

For Lee Jun-hee's thoughtfulness, Princess's seven girls are naturally very grateful, although they are newcomers, but like Choi Ji-na, Kim Yoo-jin can also be said to know a lot about the dark side of the Korean entertainment industry, just by comparing them, their current treatment in the NRG company is similar to the previous treatment in the good company, which can not be described from heaven to earth.

Lee Jun Hee gave Princess the best care, and the seven girls of Princess returned to the company and Lee Jun Hee for their 100% efforts.

With the frequent appearance of Princess in the grid programs of the three major TV stations, the popularity of the seven girls is also getting higher and higher, and those endorsement contracts are also coming one after another, for the endorsement contract, Lee Jun-hee explained to Kim Ki-joon The basic principle is that endorsements that do not conform to the image of Princess, as well as product endorsements that do not have a good reputation in the society, are all rejected.

At the beginning, NRG suffered this kind of loss, and when it first debuted, NRG was also very popular, although it did not reach the current Cheng Dù of Princess, but it can also be called a popular red star.

As a result, because he was not cautious enough when receiving endorsements, he was forced by Kim Tae-hyun to endorse a gambling machine, which greatly damaged the image of NRG.

Lee Jun Hee doesn't want Princess to repeat the mistakes of the past, they are all underage children, and what Lee Jun Hee can do is to do his best to protect them from any harm.

At the same time, on major ballad programs, Princess also launched a fierce battle with SJ, "Nobody" and "U", two songs destined to be selected as the golden song of the year, collided together, and could only sigh "Both Shengyu and He Shengliang".

In the end, it was "Nobody" that came out on top, completing three consecutive championships on the stages of "Popular Ballads" and "Music Center", only to be overtaken by "U" once on "Music Bank", and then began a wave of consecutive championships, until the ninth consecutive championship, with the release of Princess's new album, the end of publicity.

Of course, that's all for later!

Princess became popular, and now the most unpleasant thing is naturally Mr. Li Xiuman, the president of S.M Company, who hyped the military service incident of Chimyeongxun before, but only delayed Princess's debut, and then let SJ return, so that SJ, a super boy group that has established its own position in the music industry, to block Princess.

originally thought that it was nine out of ten things, but now not only did it not succeed, but it was stepped on by Princess, and SJ was basically defeated in the showdown with Princess on the song show.

This made Lee so-man, who has always regarded himself as the godfather of K-pop music, swallow this breath, first called SJ's captain Litt to the office and scolded him, suspended all SJ's activities, and let them think about it behind closed doors, and then thought about countermeasures.

Through the success of Princess, Lee so-man has now determined that the Korean music industry will usher in a new era of girl groups, and since the first cake in this market has been eaten by NRG companies, what he has to think about now is how to compete for the girl group market.

Now the s.m company's girl group plan has been approved by the board of directors, but the person in charge is not him Li Xiuman, but Kim Minying, although this is the result of the previous exchange, but when he thinks of the company's girl group in the future, he will not be able to intervene at all, and Li Xiuman, a tyrant who is used to dictatorship, is not happy.
