Xu Yun took a bottle of mineral water to Han Yan'er: "Everyone has his own path, and he must accept what he chooses. Being an artist in Korea is also a high-income industry."
"It seems that many of us are making money, but in fact the money we get is not as optimistic as we imagined." Han Yan'er said: "Because during the three years of being a trainee, the company has to pay for all our expenses.
, each person invests at least 150 million won every year, which is a very high investment.”
"It's close to one million yuan." Xu Yun nodded: "It is indeed a lot of investment. One person needs that much, and if it is a combination of more than a dozen people, those who have been eliminated must also be included, haha
…That’s really not a small sum of money.”
Han Yan'er sighed helplessly: "In order to ensure that this high investment can be recovered, the contract period between our company and us is quite long, ranging from five years to ten years. Contracts are very common, and some are even dead contracts...
We are all company people to death."
"The company is not a charity. To train you to become famous is not just to make money for yourself. That would be boring." Xu Yundao said: "For the company, you are a tool for the company to make money."
Hearing what Xu Yun said, Han Yan'er nodded sadly: "The company's commission on our income is quite high. I got 30-70 cents, while others got 20-80 cents, and many artists even got it when they just debuted.
I haven’t been able to get any money at all for several years. I have been famous in Korea for more than three years, but I still have no money to buy a house for my parents..."
This thing is common in Goryeo, and Xu Yun knows it very well.
Young people who want to become famous have no concept of money at first, because before they become famous, they only have one thought, and that is to be famous!
But what happens after you become famous? What happens after you have been famous for a long time? You may have conflicts with the brokerage company, and if you want to leave the company, you must pay a high penalty!
The terrifying amount of liquidated damages often discourages the artists trained by these companies. In addition, Korea also has organizations such as the Singers Association. If a singer wants to change jobs before the contract is up, even if he can afford the liquidated damages
, the Singers Association will also ask other companies not to sign contracts with this person.
This is a means to restrict artists. Korea's entertainment companies are very experienced in controlling artists.
Any entertainment company must have this kind of scruples before signing a contract, so all escape routes must be sealed first.
The only artists from China who dare to terminate their contracts with Korea Entertainment Company are the artists from China who went to Korea to become trainees, because the artists from China can return to China to develop, so what if Korea completely bans them?
There are still so many fans after returning to China. Even if there is a super high liquidated damages, so what? Don’t be afraid!
This small amount of liquidated damages is nothing to an artist who has returned to his motherland to develop his career! The money he earns casually in a year is enough to pay several liquidated damages, so it doesn't matter if he has the confidence.
But for Goryeo artists, the money was great.
"Idol artists are an industry that thrives on youth. Mr. Xu, you are in the entertainment industry, and you know it very well. How many people have been forgotten by the public within a few years of their debut?" Han Yan'er said: "Let's just say that you were famous in China back then.
F4 was so popular for a while, how many people are still paying attention to them now?"
Xu Yun nodded and agreed with her words.
"In order not to be forgotten, I can only keep rushing to the show." Han Yan'er lowered her head: "I must try my best to work hard. We have hundreds of variety shows in Korea. In addition to completing the recording and filming of movies and TV shows, I In addition to my normal work, I also had to accept the company's arrangements to participate in these variety shows... I even only slept in hotels twice in a month, and spent the rest of the time in an RV."
This is not surprising in the Korean entertainment industry.
"In order to catch the notice, the car had to speed and break the rules. There was a car accident, and even the driver died..." Han Yan'er sighed deeply: "I didn't expect that I was so lucky. Not only did I not die, I just suffered a little. Slight injury... If I had been disfigured at that time, haha, I would have been forgotten in a corner by now, and the company would not have wasted an extra bit of investment on me."
In fact, Han Yan'er is not the most tiring at all. It is normal for some of the most popular groups to shoot for twenty magazines and attend ten performances a day.
There are many people who faint due to lack of sleep, and there are also many people who suffer from illnesses caused by training for too long.
"What makes it more difficult for us female artists than male artists is that there are many potential threats around us..." When Han Yan'er said this, her face was already ugly.
Xu Yun actually knew that it was an arrangement similar to today's.
But Xu Yun felt that since it was his choice, he agreed, and he was willing to give up anything in order to succeed, there was nothing to complain about.
In fact, this is not irresistible, but once you refuse, you will cut off your own path.
There are actually many paths a person can take in his life. If someone likes an official career, then he or she should become a civil servant. If someone likes business war, then go to business to practice. If someone likes a comfortable life, then engage in literature and art. If someone likes to be the center of attention, then become a civil servant. artist……
In fact, there is not only one road in life, there are many roads in life. If one road is broken, then go to another one. As long as you don’t surrender, you will definitely have a road of your own. This road can not only After the walk, you can still walk very beautifully.
But once you give up your dignity and surrender, there is no hope and there is only death.
In the end, he becomes someone who even the world would give up on.
How many Korean actresses have fallen into trouble due to this matter.
Of course, some threats are the most terrifying ones. As the saying goes, hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, whether they are hidden arrows or hidden "cheats", it is difficult to prevent them.
There are actresses who were secretly filmed by their boyfriends who were sexually explicit, and were then threatened with money. There were also actresses who were drugged by their managers, and there were also agents who colluded with the underworld to extort artists. These are all things that have happened. .
Because Korea does not have a complete agent system, it is the responsibility of an assistant for the company to arrange an agent next to the artist, and this type of assistant agent usually has a lot of information about the artist. When the agent does not get the expected benefits, he will Try your best to get revenge on the star.
Kim Han Bang's manager is a good example. When he can get enough benefits, he is like a dog next to Kim Han Bang.
When he realized that he had no future with Jin Hanbang, he simply kicked Jin Hanbang away like a dog.
This is a complete profit relationship, so there is no "true love" or real concern in it.
"What will happen to President Song if you fail to complete the task assigned to you this time?" Xu Yun smiled and asked Han Yan'er.
Han Yan'er bit her lip nervously.
The whole world knows how strict the management of Koryo Entertainment is, and being beaten is only the lightest punishment.
Xu Yun was very aware of the Korean people's admiration for Confucianism, which is why they said that Master Kong was also a Korean among them.
Because the Korean people admire Chinese culture and are enthusiastic about Confucianism, they use Confucianism as a management method. In the company, the relationship between seniors and juniors is very clear, not to mention the president and president who are in the company.
status here.
Han Yan'er has seen this kind of distinction between superiority and inferiority more often.
For example, if a member of a group is disobedient and the senior or leader is the "elder brother", it is normal for him to be punched or kicked.
Korean artists must be obedient if they want to be popular!
Very, very obedient!
Otherwise, the company will implement a banning order. For example, if an artist gets fat, the company requires him to lose weight. If he fails to do so, he will be refrigerated. If there is any behavior that violates traditional Confucianism, he will be banned completely, or even the entire circle.
If a Korean artist joins another nationality in order to avoid military service, all walks of life across the country will definitely block him and completely destroy him! This is the fate of anti-traditional Confucianism!
Therefore, if the artists in Goryeo dare to disobey, the consequences will be very serious, so serious that the artists will tremble all over just thinking about it.
Han Yan'er's task was personally assigned by the president, so if Han Yan'er cannot successfully complete this task, the consequences can be imagined...
Thinking of Xu Yun's current attitude, Han Yan'er shuddered a little.
If Xu Yun really doesn't want to do this, how will she end up? Will she really go back with her tail between her legs and tell President Song that she simply doesn't have the charm to make Xu Yun's heart flutter?
