Peninsula Steel Love

Chapter 749 Krystal is really cheap

What kind of agency is suitable for Goo Hara? To clarify this issue, you must first understand the differences between various brokerage companies. You must know that not all brokerage companies are exactly the same.

Take SM as an example. What they are best at is promoting idol groups, from the initial training and selection of trainees, to the concept planning of new groups, song selection, arrangement, choreography, recording, MV shooting and publicity and promotion. They have the ability to complete the process independently.

This is not easy. In fact, there are only a handful of brokerage companies in South Korea with such all-round capabilities. Small companies can only maintain the normal operations of their portfolios through extensive outsourcing.

That's why countless trainees are fighting to get into big companies like SM or JYP, which have sufficient resources and unique advantages to debut. Compared with other small company groups, they are not on the same starting line.

It is precisely because of this that large companies have very strict management of their artists, and they have little say in the idols, unless they become Kwon BoA or G-Dragon, which is about the same level.

Girls' Generation is so popular, and the female diva group has reached the top, SM Entertainment still rejected the movie script of "Introduction to Architecture" without any discussion, and Seohyun still can't let it go.

This shows how strong big companies like SM are, and the situation that Goo Hara has been in in the past seven years is generally the same. She does whatever the company asks her to do, and the company doesn't care about her personal thoughts.

So are there any management companies that are not so strict on artists? It's true. In fact, this is the case for agencies that mainly focus on actors, because the quality of an actor's work is determined by the crew and the producer, and has nothing to do with the agency.

The company will also provide guidance during the newcomer period. Once the artist becomes popular, the company will do more work such as image management, public relations, and business endorsements.

In other words, the economic company and the artist are not superiors and subordinates, but a cooperative relationship. When she reaches a position like Son Ye-jin, the company president has to look at her face and act.

Talking back to KeyEast Entertainment, the reason why Son Ye Jin opposed Goo Hara joining this company is because their internal management is more interesting. They were once called the entertainment company in Korea that is closest to the "Hollywood management model" in the industry.

Of course Zhou Jing didn’t understand what the Hollywood management model was, and Son Ye-jin didn’t intend to explain it in detail. She only mentioned one point, that is, in this model, no one forces you to do anything, and everything relies on self-management.

There is no additional supervision. Do your own thing well. If you don't do it well, you will be replaced by others immediately. This will stimulate everyone's creativity and self-driving force and become the strongest one.

To be honest, this mechanism can indeed play an unexpected role for mature actors, but it does not apply to Goo Hara.

As the face of the three major Kara groups in 07, Goo Hara is a well-known senior in the music industry, but in the entertainment industry she is a newbie, far incomparable to Crystal and Sulli.

Thanks to DSP, Hara has only acted in one TV series "City Hunter" in more than seven years since her debut, and the rest were all guest appearances.

Just let her manage herself? Are you kidding me? It's not until she turns black. Besides, she had listened to everything the agency told her before. How could she possibly adapt to the sudden 180-degree U-turn?

I have to say that Son Ye-jin’s words are very reasonable. Zhou Jing himself is also doing management work. If he suddenly announces that the entire equipment department will self-manage and no longer give any instructions in the future, the people below will immediately be confused like headless flies. Take measures.

Of course, this metaphor is not appropriate, but Zhou Jingshen knew that Goo Hara would definitely need the support of her seniors when she first entered the entertainment industry. If she left it alone, she would not be able to continue in the end.

What should I do? Zhou Jing fell into deep thought. Now the career plans of Crystal and Shirley are very clear, but the new sister Ha La is still unclear. This has always been Zhou Jing's worry. At least, people call you brother. .

As a result, this problem was easily solved by Son Ye Jin. The plan was very simple. When Goo Hara's contract with DSP Company expired, she would directly go to Son Ye Jin's agency, MSteam Entertainment.

MSteam Entertainment is a small company with only four artists. In addition to Son Ye-jin, there are also actors Lee Min-jung, Moon Chae-won and Wei Gongjun.

But as mentioned before, actors are not like idols, and the size of the agency is not decisive. Furthermore, the fact that Son Ye-jin has stayed in MSteam since her debut shows that this company has merits.

In addition, once Goo Hara leaves, and Son Ye Jin is a fellow senior and has Zhou Kyung's relationship, the conditions will not be better than the conditions for taking Shirley in the first place.

Of course Zhou Jing couldn't have any objections, so he invited Son Ye-jin to his house for dinner and a meeting with Ha-ra. Son Ye-jin was much more persuasive than him when she came to talk about this matter.
-

"Okay, you guys are done talking, now you can eat."

"Hey, brother, Ye Jin Oni and I are coming right now, hehe."

It seemed that the deal was settled. Zhou Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. Ha La was not Shirley. The latter was obedient to Zhou Jing's words due to some experiences.

Goo Hara is a typical person who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. If she really wants to make up her mind, she will be the one that even nine bulls can't win back. Fortunately, Son Ye Jin stepped in, otherwise Zhou Jing may not be sure to dispel Hara's beautiful fantasy about KeyEast.

"Brother, what kind of dish is this? It's so mysterious." Goo Hara came over and immediately took aim at the casserole in the middle of the dining table.

She was interested in what was stewed on the stove from the moment she walked in. Coincidentally, Son Ye-jin became curious when Ha-ra told her about it. At this time, Zhou Jing slowly opened the lid of the pot and said with a smile:

"Haha, this is a good thing. I went to China Street to buy it. Today is Sanjiu. You and Yizhen will eat more later."

As the aroma hit their faces, Son Ye Jin and Goo Hara looked at each other, and then asked in unison:

"What kind of meat is this?"

"Braised mutton. You Koreans don't eat much mutton and always focus on Korean beef. I'd say mutton is king in the winter. Do you understand?" Zhou Jing gave them a piece of meat and then motioned to the two of them to eat first. Respectfully.

There is a tradition of eating mutton in Zhou Jing's hometown in winter. Generally, there are two ways to eat it, either braised red mutton or white-cut mutton. Then put the mutton in a hot pot and add cabbage, fried tofu, vermicelli, etc.

In fact, Zhou Jing prefers the pot base that is half mutton and half haggis, but that means many girls don't like it, so he chose to make braised mutton. "mutton?"

Son Ye-jin put the meat into her mouth doubtfully. As Zhou Jing said, Koreans rarely eat mutton. Even if they eat it, it is usually French-style lamb chops in Western food. Zhou Jing's method is unique.

Unexpectedly, Son Yejin's eyes lit up in the next second. It melted in her mouth, was fat but not greasy, and had a light milky fragrance, which made her couldn't help but praise:

"Dafa, it's so delicious. It turns out that mutton is so fragrant."

"Haha, of course."

While talking, Zhou Jing gave Son Ye Jin another piece of mutton. As for Goo Hara, she had already eaten three pieces of mutton in the blink of an eye without his help. At this time, Zhou Jing continued to talk,

"Yizhen, let me test you. Do you know how to write the Chinese character for "fresh"?"

"Mo?" x2

Son Ye Jin and Goo Hara were confused by the question. They didn't understand why Zhou Jing suddenly asked them to test their Chinese character skills. When Zhou Jing saw this, he didn't say anything and just smiled, then returned to the kitchen.

Sun Yizhen and the other two looked over and were curious about what kind of riddle Zhou Jing was playing, but they saw him taking out a plate from the pot and then turning on the oil pot to heat up the oil.

"Stab it."

Zhou Jing poured hot oil on the dinner plate. The movement frightened Son Ye Jin and Goo Hara, but before they could react, Zhou Jing had already returned with the plate.

"Try it, you two. Steamed seabass, hey, it's fresh and alive. This thing is much more difficult to get than mutton in Korea, haha," Zhou Jing said angrily.

"Brother zzang, Salanghei." Goo Hara took off her chopsticks without saying anything.

Don't forget, she has been to Zhou Jing's hometown, and she still remembers this dish. Son Yejin followed closely, and soon her eyes became sad.

If I had known he had such skills, I should have slept with him when they first met. Assi, Krystal is really taking advantage of him, Son Yejin thought bitterly while eating fish.

How could Zhou Jing know the mental journey of his close relative? He was still proudly popularizing science.

"There is no better delicacy in the world than the word 'fresh'. Fish and sheep are fresh. Yizhen, how does it taste?"

"Well, it's good." Sun Yezhen raised her head to look at Zhou Jing, then shouted dissatisfiedly with a cold expression on her face,

"Ah, Zhou Jing, you've gone too far. It seems like this is my first time eating your cooking, huh."

The words were more coquettish than reproachful. Goo Hara didn't say anything after hearing it, but her pretty eyes kept looking back and forth at Zhou Jing and Son Ye Jin. Maybe she was already thinking of something.

"Hey, no matter what, if you want to eat from now on, I'll do it for you." Zhou Jing replied casually before he noticed Sun Yezhen's strangeness.

"Jinjia? That's a deal. How about you come to my house and cook me a meal another day?" Sun Yezhen made the request without hesitation.

"Cooking? No problem. Don't mention one meal. You can eat as many meals as you like, haha." Zhou Jing agreed without any doubt.

Apart from anything else, he just asked Son Ye Jin to take care of Sulli first and then Goo Hara. There was no way Zhou Jing could refuse her no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Goo Hara was speechless when she saw this situation. She thought to herself, I have a brother. Does he want to eat? I'm just afraid I'll take the opportunity to eat you. Why don't you have any sense of self-protection? Really

No, for the sake of Crystal and Shirley, Goo Hara decided to remind Zhou Jing. However, at this moment, Zhou Jing's cell phone suddenly rang, showing that it was still an unknown caller.

"Oh, don't compete."

"Anihasay, Zhou Jing Agassi, it's me."

"Inside?"

Zhou Jing felt that the voice sounded familiar. After a moment he remembered who the other person was, so he smiled and said:

"Minji, is that you?"

"Hey, Agassi, I will arrive in Seoul tomorrow. Can I treat you to dinner tonight?"

"Arnie, don't you have to go to school?"

"Haha, Agassi, we are on winter vacation."

"Okay, forget about this. Then come to the company to see me. Let's get together in the evening."

"Uh-huh."
