Chapter 298 You are a good man

In the summer of 2012, Ning Sheng plunged headlong into the desert and was busy with his own movie, so that his news almost disappeared from the entertainment industry. However, in this flashy circle, new gossips are always emerging, and new popular idols are always coming. Forward and successive.

However, this summer, to everyone's surprise, the Korean entertainment industry, which had no big news because boy groups were gradually tepid, suddenly had a new selling point.

SM Company launched the Girls' Generation group, JYP launched Wonder Girls, and the song "nobody" pushed Wonder Girls to the top of the girl group, and at the same time opened the door to the trend of girl groups!

This time, SM, which has always dominated the Korean music industry, fell behind its old rival JYP Entertainment. Their girl group Girls' Generation was defeated by Wonder Girls.

If it is said that the results of girl groups are not good, that is to say, forget it. At most, everyone will think that current fans still like girl groups as much as they like boy groups, but the popularity of Wonder Girls is enough to show that girl groups can also be successful, and they can also call the wind and rain. , Therefore, it is no longer that the market does not accept girl groups, but that girl groups that are not good enough are not liked by market fans!

The popularity of Wonder Girls is almost the same as that of SM's popular boy group, and it seems that the demand that has been waiting for many years is met. The popularity of Wonder Girls swept across South Korea in just one week, and then went out of Asia, throughout Asia. A hurricane of women's groups was set off in the country, and then they rushed to Europe and the United States under the ambitious plan of the company behind them!

Not long ago, Ding Xuan was reported by the global entertainment media, saying that he broke the record of Asians in the European and American music circles, and that he was the hero of Asian singers opening up the European and American markets. Some Asian media are even optimistic that European and American fans have begun to accept Asian music. , the opportunity for Asian music to enter the European and American markets on a large scale has arrived.

Therefore, JYP Entertainment, which was dazed by the glory of success and the praise of the media, sent the girl group that it had finally won with great difficulty to North America, where it was not familiar with.

Facts have proved that the preferences of European and American fans are not so easy to change. When Wonder Girls returned to Korea in embarrassment, they found that the number one girl group in China had become the pocket of their old rival SM Girls' Generation.

Wonder Girls is like a martial arts master using the "Tianmo Disintegration Dafa", soaring like a rocket and falling like a meteor. JYP is like using a catalyst to exhaust the potential of Wonder Girls and damage their foundation. They can no longer compete for Girls' Generation. , Since then, he has been devastated, gathering and dispersing indefinitely, and reduced to a mortal.

Girls' Generation, on the other hand, has been tempered in the flames, and has firmly grasped the throne of the girl group with solid steps.

With the sudden rise of women's groups, not only the men's groups have been greatly affected, but other entertainment companies in Asia have also learned from each other's strengths to make up for their weaknesses.

In fact, before this, it was not that there were no other entertainment companies experimenting with girl groups, but all of them failed without exception, or the response was mediocre, and finally everyone was silent.

This time, the successive rise of Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation has made all entertainment companies understand that the era of girl groups has finally arrived.

When SM Entertainment and other Korean companies are scrambling to make money from girl groups, various new girl groups are also being formed aggressively.

So the girls suddenly discovered that their road to fame seemed to have a wider road. Whether it was a Korean entertainment company or other entertainment companies in Asia, the large-scale audition activities made the entire entertainment circle lively.

And some TV stations have seen new ideas to increase ratings from these talent shows.

So Dragon TV brought in Yinbei Records, one of the top five record companies in China, to hold an audition for all the people to participate.

Of course, because it is for the women's team, the requirements for the contestants are actually limited to women and those under the age of 20.

Compared with other companies, the talent show on TV is obviously more attractive, and it also attracts and trusts girls more, so many girls with dreams signed up to participate in this TV talent show.

Zhao Liying is just 16 years old this year. She started to study flight attendant at the beginning of school in September. This time she came to Kyoto to play, and it was the luckiest thing for her family to win a prize. The prize was a three-day trip to Kyoto.

Of course, because I can only go alone, my parents naturally gave this opportunity to Zhao Liying. Originally, Zhao Liying wanted to sell the three-day tour, but her parents felt sorry for her and had never been to Kyoto, so they let her sit. Get on the high-speed train bound for Kyoto.

For a 16-year-old girl, going to Kyoto for the first time is not scary at first, but it is full of novelty. Although the three-day tour includes round-trip and board and lodging expenses, if there are other expenses, it is natural to pay for them by yourself. .

This afternoon, I came back from the outside with the tour guide. After eating, everyone was free to move around.

Someone who also won the lottery asked Zhao Liying to go out to play, but Zhao Liying refused, not because she didn't want to go, but because going out with them always cost money, and the consumption in Kyoto is high, and any piece of clothing costs hundreds of dollars. I can't afford it now, so it's better to play by yourself.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky is still early, but there is no scorching sun, and there are occasional cool winds. People walking on the street are like taking a walk, relieving the sweltering heat of summer.

Zhao Liying was wearing a white skirt that she had washed several times, with a ponytail and an old small bag. She walked casually with the crowd in a relaxed mood, looking at the bustling streets of this great country, listening to the The people around were full of voices, laughing and enjoying the girl's pure shopping pleasure!

After walking all the way, Zhao Liying suddenly stopped in front of a shop. Through the glass window, she could see customers sitting in twos and threes inside, and customers walking out while eating ice cream, looking at the shop. The colorful ice cream with the fragrance of milk and cool air, Zhao Liying's attributes of a snack food burst out, her eyes lit up immediately, and the saliva seemed to be lingering around her mouth.

"Little girl, can uncle treat you to an ice cream?" An uncle suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Liying, startling her.

Originally, he was hesitant to go in extravagantly and taste the high-end ice cream in Kyoto, but now he looked at the other party with a vigilant look, as if he found a dangerous animal, and said, "I don't know you!"

After finishing speaking, Zhao Liying was about to turn around and leave, but her steps were dragged back by the uncle's self-introduction.

"Don't be nervous, little girl. I'm a scout who specializes in scouting for entertainment companies. I can give you a chance to become a star. How about it? Are you interested?" The uncle looked at Zhao Liying with a smile, "I'm a good person." look.Then he seemed to remember something, took out a small box from his pocket, and then took out a piece of paper from it and handed it over, "By the way, this is my business card, take a look."

Zhao Liying took the business card and looked at "New Crown Film and Television Signed Star Detective Zhang Wu!" In addition to this line, there was a phone number on the back, which seemed to be the case.

"How about it? If you are willing to enter this business, let's sit down in the store and talk slowly." Scout Zhang Wu invited by pointing to the ice cream shop next to him.

Zhao Liying looked at the business card and then at the other party, feeling depressed for a while, but the other party was not in a hurry at all, it didn't look like a fake, so she asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Zhang Wu shook his head and smiled, "It's not what I asked you to do, but after you join the entertainment company, they will find your potential, and then arrange a suitable path for you, whether singing or filming, as long as you are signed by the company There will be a day of success.”

After hearing this, Zhao Liying asked again, "Then if I sign the contract, how much will I be paid a month?"

Zhang Wu said with a smile, "It won't be much at the beginning, which is about three thousand. If you make your debut and become popular, you don't need to mention the salary. Remuneration and commission, as well as commercial performances, which one is not hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands?" million income, that’s enough, I’m standing on the street, go into the store and sit down and talk, I invite you, when you become popular in the future, remember to treat me to a big meal, haha—”

Zhao Liying didn't know how she followed them into the store, and then, under the cool air conditioner, ate ice cream that was cool and sweet, listening to the other person's description of her dreamy life after becoming a big star.

Zhang Wu looked at Zhao Liying on the opposite side and nodded again and again, as if he believed in his words completely and had no doubts, he immediately gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

"Xiao Zhao, since you want to enter this industry, uncle, I will tell you a few words from my heart. I have never said this to anyone else. If it weren't for your honesty and good heartlessness, You, Uncle Zhang, I will never talk too much." Zhang Wu looked hesitant, as if he had something important to say, which made Zhao Liying immediately say, "Uncle Zhang, I know you treat me well, what do you want to say? Just say it, I will never forget your kindness in the future."

Zhang Wu listened and smiled and said, "Okay, who made us fall in love so much, looking at you is like seeing your own daughter, Xiao Zhao, uncle can send you to the entertainment company, but every year in the company, people come from all over the world. The trust signed, the total number of trainees is not one hundred, and there are dozens of them. Judging by your appearance, you neither have a particularly good voice, nor do you know how to dance, and you are not a graduate of a professional school. It will be difficult if you enter to compete with other people, and you don’t know when it will be your turn to stand out.”

Zhao Liying was anxious when she heard this, "Why are there so many people? Then what should I do, I can't sing or dance, how about I act? I'm brave, I can endure hardship, I—"

Zhang Wu shook his head and interrupted the anxious Zhao Liying and said, "Silly boy, they are cultivating stars, not recruiting waiters. Apart from outstanding talents, they rely on the company's packaging and publicity. You didn't see that many stars don't even have a high school." If you haven’t been on it, they still make a lot of money.”

"Then what should I do? I don't know anything, or I'd better go back to school"

"Hey, don't worry, kid, it's you, Uncle Zhang." Zhang Wu looked at the "bump" in front of him who was about to back off at the slightest disagreement, and said directly, "Uncle Zhang." I have been in this industry for more than ten years. There are not dozens of stars that I first noticed, but there are always a dozen. The most famous of them is Ning Sheng. Do you know Ning Sheng? He used to be a member of Chaoyang Group , A few days ago, another super boy was formed in the United States, you know?"

When Zhao Liying heard the words, she exclaimed, "Uncle Zhang also discovered Ning Sheng?" Seeing Zhang Wu nodding his head in admission, Zhao Liying suddenly had a wrong idea. "Uncle Zhang, how do I remember that when Ning Sheng debuted, he formed Chaoyang Group with Ding Xuan and the others to participate in the draft? How did you discover Ning Sheng? Do you know Ding Xuan and Yang Rui?"

Zhang Wu shook his head calmly and said, "You don't understand. I was the one who discovered Ning Sheng on the street. At that time, Uncle Zhang had just entered the industry and was still a part-time scout, so he wanted to do something big and found Ning Cheng." After Sheng, I met Ding Xuan and Yang Rui through Ning Sheng, and it was Uncle Zhang who suggested them to participate in the draft. It can be said that Uncle Zhang led them on the road to the Chaoyang group's fame all the way."

After Zhao Liying heard it, she was not quite sure whether what the other party said was true or not, but she was convinced by the other party's knowledge and knowledge of the entertainment industry, and felt that Uncle Zhang was really amazing.

"Uncle Zhang, you have said so much, but you still haven't said what I should do?" Zhao Liying is also yearning for a celebrity career that can make big money and quick money.

Zhang Wu smiled and said, "Didn't I just say that, I am very familiar with many people in the industry, besides big stars like Ning Sheng, there are also the album producers of Yinbei Records, the director of Jinbei Film and Television who is responsible for the training of newcomers, These are friends I have known for many years, as long as I ask them to take care of you and give you a chance, it is still very easy."

When Zhang Wu said this, he looked at the other party with a smile and waited for thousands of constant inquiries, "Uncle Zhang, I will get rid of you. If there is anything you need, just tell me, and I will try my best to do it."

Similar words, similar meanings, in short, it means asking him to find a relationship and help him get ahead from hundreds of other trainees, and I will give a little hint next, and I will naturally be able to finish perfectly and win today's job. income.

However, Zhang Wu waited for a long time, but he didn't hear the words he should have heard. Instead, he met Zhao Liying's innocent and expectant big eyes, and just blinked and blinked at him.

Zhang Wu was a little flustered by the sight, lowered his head to avoid the other party's sight, coughed lightly, and said, "Xiao Zhao, did you understand what I just said?"

Zhao Liying nodded happily and said, "Yes, I understand. Uncle Zhang, you are so amazing. I know so many amazing people. I know you want to entrust those friends to take care of me and help me make my debut. Uncle Zhang, you are such a good person. I will make money in the future, and I will never forget your kindness!"

"Um——hey——not——" Zhang Wu suddenly reacted, shaking his head again and again, "Xiao Zhao, Uncle Zhang also wants to help you, but it's not easy to find those friends to help you, do you understand?"

Zhao Liying blinked her eyes and said, "They are not Uncle Zhang's friends. Isn't it right for friends to help each other? My dad often helps neighbors fix TVs. Uncle Zhang, don't feel embarrassed. It's normal for friends to help each other."

"I—" Looking at Zhao Liying's cute little face, Zhang Wu felt the urge to vomit blood for the first time.Such a big man, why can't he understand the words?

"Xiao Zhao, in fact, Uncle Zhang is not that familiar with those people. It's just that they have some friendship. If you want to ask someone to do something, you can't do it without giving them something. Do you understand?"
