It is very common in Korea for artists to serve customers in their own stores.
Take Haha's BBQ restaurant 401, for example. Not only does he often come out to interact with customers, but his artist friends who go there will also help.
Because you can often see artists there, many star-chasers prefer to try their luck, so business has always been very good.
In China, artists do not have such a concept.
Generally speaking, Chinese artists are used to being fans and they always like to hold things up.
Xiao Qian was not used to them, so he used them as waiters at Mulan Restaurant.
But the effect was very good, because these artists shuttled among the customers, causing a huge sensation.
Originally the scene would be chaotic, and there might even be congestion. But because of the high-end decoration and elegant atmosphere of Mulan Restaurant, even the most unqualified people can't help but become reserved.
Although many people in the middle looked for opportunities to take photos with the artists and ask for autographs, they were relatively orderly and did not cause any trouble to the artists.
It was busy until the evening, the last table of guests were sent away, and the bustle of the first day at Mulan Restaurant came to an end.
Xiao Qian ran to Xiao Guoji and Ai Milan's offices, only caring about one issue.
"How much water is flowing?"
Aimilan has finished counting the accounts and is very happy.
"See for yourself."
Xiao Qian took the account book and took a look, feeling even more satisfied.
"Then I can rest assured. Just go about your business. I'm going to greet my friends."
There were so many people here today, and it was unjustifiable not to entertain them. So after seeing off the guests, banquets had already been placed on the third floor of Mulan Restaurant.
"Come on, come on, everyone has worked hard today, and this is a reward for everyone."
"cut!"
A bunch of big stars sneered, but they were not slow to move their chopsticks.
I thought it would be enough to cheer up the boss, but I didn't expect to be arrested as a laborer. Who can tell me how depressed I feel?
The damn capitalists don't pay their wages and only use one meal to kill them. Are they worthy of their worth?
Unfortunately, they had no way to complain, so they had no choice but to turn their grief and anger into appetite and try to use their stomachs to get their money back.
In this way, the capitalists still won’t let them go.
"Forget about others, An Dahua, you eat less. Look at you, you have gained weight. You are an idol, so you should pay attention to your image."
The chicken legs even reached the mouth and immediately lost their flavor.
"I find your boss very annoying. If I don't come back now, what will happen if I eat more?"
Xiao Qian snatched the chicken leg over and after a while, only the bones were left.
"I'm worried about your health."
Ella was so angry that she wanted to hit someone, but thinking about her own future, she had to hold back.
"Sister, ignore him. He just gave it to me and ate it on purpose."
Otherwise, everything would be blamed on the traitor, and Ella would show off her power by eating the chicken drumsticks sent by Li Qingjue.
Xiao Qian had no choice but to warn: "You have to pay attention to me, you will return in early October. The time left for you to rest is less than a month."
Preparing for a singer's return is a very long process, taking at least about half a year.
Determining the comeback theme, selecting songs, choreographing, releasing promotional videos, designing album content, contacting performances, creating a comeback stage, shooting MV, album sales, etc., every step of the process is linked without any carelessness.
Especially for an idol group like She, the requirements are higher, the investment is greater, and the preparation period is longer.
Unlike folk groups like Southbound Moonlight, if they hurry up, they can come back once a month.
It is because of Xiao Qian that the preparation period for the singers of Starlight Music to return will not be so long.
I heard that it was coming back soon, so the three girls were not nervous and were a little bit excited.
They have become accustomed to the life of artists, and they are a little confused when they are left to have some free time.
The whole table is full of people from the company, and it’s impossible not to gossip while chatting.
Chen Shuai looked at Shen Jue.
"I heard that your movie sold more than 100 million?"
Shen Jue took a look at his expression first and found that he was very calm, so he spoke with confidence.
"The buyout agreement is what it is. In fact, our company has suffered more losses, and the boss can't do anything about it."
Wen Yi was not polite to him at all.
"Hypocritical. This is a movie worth over RMB 100 million. This is the first one in China. Congratulations, the national idol will become the national vote king."
Shen Juexuan was choked by the abalone.
"What the hell is the national vote king? Why does it sound so ugly?"
Everyone cheered and started joking.
Among the artists in the company today, Shen Jue is the most developed.
Originally he was only famous in TV series, but now he has starred in movies that have sold more than 100 million, and he has established his status all of a sudden.
In everyone's mind, the only one who can compete with Shen Jue is Yang Zhen.
Although Yang Zhen has only starred in one TV series so far, everyone can see clearly that as a kung fu star, Yang Zhen has a bright future.
Xiao Qian looked at Jing Qi and said: "Modutai has planned a TV series, and there is an important role in it that they want to invite you to star in. Director Qin personally called me. The pay is good, and this is your chance. .”
As soon as he mentioned the name of Director Qin, Jing Qi knew he couldn't refuse.
The company has always been very tolerant to her and never forced her to do anything. Now is the time for her to repay the company.
However, Jing Qi also had his own ideas and thought it would be best to talk about it first.
"After I finish filming this scene, I want to travel to Europe for a while to study."
Xiao Qian looked at Li Xiaohan carefully and couldn't help but ask: "Going to find a French man?"
Jing Qi's breathing became rapid, and he grabbed the tea cup, but finally let go.
"We are going to Italy. My parents have some inheritance there that needs to be dealt with."
"you?"
Li Xiaohan raised his hand.
"I'm not worried about her going alone."
Xiao Qian was very angry and looked at Weng Zhian and Wen Yi maliciously.
"I think it is necessary to emphasize the company's discipline in the future and prohibit love within the company."
Wen Yi slapped her chopsticks on the table and pointed at Li Qingjue.
"Your woman is also the music director of the company."
Li Qingjue was extremely shy, but Xiao Qian quickly grasped the key.
"Sister Yi, are you so angry because I said something about your situation?"
Well, this time Wenyi doesn’t dare to see anyone.
However, thinking that this woman had been quite irritable recently, Xiao Qian wisely did not continue to tease her, but instead talked about Jing Qi's problem.
"You're going to Italy and your bar is closed?"
Jing Qi is indeed a free and easy woman.
"It's not making any money anyway, so I plan to close down completely."
Hearing that she didn't want to do it anymore, Xiao Qian immediately thought of many things.
"Then give me your bar."
Jing Qi's eyes lit up, like the sunshine of the Mediterranean Sea.
"How much do you pay?"
Xiao Qian sighed.
"As far as our relationship is concerned, what is the point of asking for money or not?"
Jing Qi banged the table angrily, sternly accusing Xiao Qian of being shameless.
"Wow, look at it. Take a closer look. This is our boss. This is the nature of a capitalist. He will not even spare our hard-earned money."
There was a lot of laughter at the dinner table, but no one agreed with Jing Qi.
Of course Xiao Qian was not a bandit, so he smiled and said, "Why don't I give you a dividend, even though I won't make much money."
It was obvious that Jing Qi really didn't want to keep the bar.
"What are you going to do with the bar? I heard that you have a lot of business now. Do you still have time to do side business?"
Xiao Qian shook his head, not hiding anything from them.
"The location of your bar is good and the place is spacious. I want to transform it into a cultural holy place. As you know, our domestic pop culture is a bit out of touch."
He had this idea because he was actually influenced by the Korean entertainment and culture industry.
As we all know, many artists in Korea, especially singers, come from the private sector.
Before their debut, many people were underground dancers or street singers.
The Hongdae area in South Korea is a famous literary and artistic place.
The earliest cool dragons, jinusean, and later 10cm, hyukoh, etc. are all representatives of street performers.
It is not that there are no such artists among Chinese folk, but there is no place for them to display their talents and communicate with each other.
If you only appear on TV, the threshold is too high. Moreover, the quality requirements for artists are very strict, and they must be fully grown.
But the problem is that many talented people, for various reasons, have no choice but to change careers before they can fully mature.
The future development of starlight culture will inevitably require many artists.
In addition to the company's own training, choosing from the private sector is also an important way.
But China is so big, we can’t just search everywhere, right?
Therefore, it is a good idea to create a cultural holy place and give folk artists a place to communicate and display.
Xiao Qian's ultimate goal is to cultivate the atmosphere of Chinese pop culture.
