The Rise of Korean Entertainment

My name is Park Bo Gum, the treasure of swords, the sword of swords! Park Bo Gum is me, I am Park Bo Gum!

I was born in 1993. I have just turned 20 this year. I have not served in the military. I am now a student at Meiji University and I am also an actor. Of course, the term "actor" is relatively loose.

I signed a contract with another company two years ago and played a small cameo role in a movie. Even if I make my debut, I can take advantage of my debut years in advance. As for the next works, it will be zero!

The company's argument is to hone your acting skills and wait for opportunities. In fact, I know that this is the reality in the entertainment industry. Since the first work does not gain attention, then the opportunities will be reduced by more than half. After all, there are many new people, and they can be cultivated to become an instant hit. Newcomers save costs.

However, after communicating with my family, I just studied normally and took some acting classes at the same time. Until more than a week ago, I accidentally learned about the interview for Reply 1988.

This is a TV series that I like very much, so I wanted to give it a try, so I rushed over without even telling my family or company. Everything went smoothly, and I was actually taken seriously by Director Luo. It was very impressive. Surprising.

But the only person who was a bit scary was the president named Li Eun-hee. She always looked at me like a family member going to the supermarket to choose the quality of meat, which made people look scared.

I don’t know exactly how to communicate, but when my family asked me if I would like to work as an artist in SW, I nodded because it couldn’t be worse. Besides, I also secretly checked and it was said that SW’s internal atmosphere was Pretty good.

So I, Park Bo Gum, a relatively new young actor, became a part of the SW family. It happened to be the half-year salary payment in a few days, and several of our recent newcomers were asked to come over and get to know everyone.

I have been browsing the sw fan forum for many days in advance, and even asked a lot of questions anonymously. In short, everyone has different opinions about sw. The only thing that is certain is that senior Li Menglong is definitely a big guy, you must hug him! The key is to talk.

In fact, like many ordinary fans, what I look forward to most and even the biggest reason why I can agree is because of Girls’ Generation. From now on, they will be my senior sisters in the same company. I am very excited just thinking about it. I am hesitant whether I should bring them with me the next day. I went to ask them to sign the album...

Just like that, it was my first official visit to the company after becoming a member of SW. I was already scared outside the door. There were so many fans. Although they didn’t know me, they told them that I was a new actor in SW. He even cheered for me, which was really touching!

Then there is the legendary Lee Mong Yong senior, a legendary figure who cannot be more legendary. The only thing that puzzles me is why he is with Sunny Noona. Aren't Taeyeon and even Yoona more beautiful?

As rumored, the senior was very easy to talk to and even asked me to call him hyung. With his guidance, I also got to know Ryu Junyeol who is my generation, some colleagues from the company, and of course the girl from Girls’ Generation who kept me awake last night. .

What should I say to these senior sisters of mine? It is not good to say bad things behind their backs! But Xu Xiannuna is really nice. When others were busy, she took the initiative to take us to find fruit to eat, and even asked us some other things.

"I've seen enough of your works, and of course I've heard all the songs! Can you sign your autograph for me?" After saying these words, I obviously noticed that Xu Xiannoona was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little shy. .

According to what she said, she is not qualified to be an idol for her family. If she wants to worship, she must also worship Li Menglong and others! I admire Seohyun Noona's modesty, but doesn't she know that she has become a legend in another acting circle? I also seem to have a movie worth over 10 million!

After hearing that I could play the piano, she also took the initiative to invite me to work together if we had the opportunity in the future. I immediately agreed. However, it is said that Seohyun Noona has studied piano for ten years. Will I hold her back?

All the memories of my girlhood are limited to this, because I really don’t want the image of the goddess that I have had for many years to collapse in my heart. It’s so scary! I decided to follow Brother Menglong’s advice and cherish them on stage from now on and stay away from them in private. Of course Seohyun Noona is an exception!

There are not many artists in the company, and I am the youngest in both seniority and age, so the seniors are very kind to me, not at all cold like in the previous company.

For example, when senior Yoo Jae-seok came over, he looked around for Brother Mongryong, and kicked him without saying a word. But everyone seemed to be okay with it. Even Brother Mongryong himself responded with a smile. I really don’t understand what happened. what relationship.

I met a lot of seniors today, but Brother Menglong just said that his family calls him brother and sister, so I have a bunch of brothers and nuna, but I am very unhappy without any younger brothers and sisters.

Brother Shi told me that it would be a pity not to be a comedian if he was so handsome; Brother Zhong Guo said to me that he can play the piano but not release an album. It’s just that the two of them obviously don’t have enough status in the company. With the crazy counterattack of those noonas , my final identity is still an actor.

In fact, I personally think that I am quite talented at comedy! But I didn’t dare to say it, because the noonas in the company were too scary, and the bulging Eunhui noona also came, and they were even more fierce! She even dared to scold Brother Menglong!

The conference room is quite big, but because there are a lot of people, I can only sit near the door. At the same time, I keep a carton of milk ready to hand out to those who need it, but the nuna always come to get it themselves. By the way, they always like to touch my head or pinch my cheeks. I really want to tell them that I will be an adult soon!

But I dare not say it. The bosses of the male artists in the company were all scolded by President Lee Eun-hee. Director Luo and Brother Menglong were because they were lazy, and Brother Zhongguo was because they were unwilling to release an album, even if the company said they would lose money. They are unwilling to carry it around, it seems to be a matter of laziness!

As for the last one in Brother Shi, this is not a problem. He has many shows, so he is very diligent. His problem is that he is ugly, which lowers the average appearance of the company's male artists.

As soon as this point of view was expressed, everyone started to quarrel. Brother Menglong and the others strongly supported it, but Brother Zaishi pointed at these people and said, "Who is prettier than the other!"

So with this sentence, I was caught snickering again. I suddenly felt that it was not good to be more handsome. Now even Brother Mengli wouldn't save me. I seemed to be offended because of my appearance. Several male giants of the company.

Fortunately, the noonas liked me, and it seemed that in the company, the noonas had their word. I decided to consider taking sides in the future, and just joking and making noise, more than an hour passed.

I have participated in the company's money sharing before, and I was not very cautious every time, but here it seems that everything is so different.

For example, it only took a few minutes to send out the money. Each person had a dozen thick half-year itineraries. I secretly glanced at Seohyun Noona's side. The income from a single advertising endorsement alone was over 100 million.

It's just that everyone seems more willing to chat than stare at this. Even Seohyun Noona only glanced at the total number and put it away. The total number is very impressive, which makes me quite envious.

I heard that their contracts with the company are very loose, but that's what they deserve. My contract with the company is a 10-year long-term contract, but there are many terms and conditions that can be changed into shares.

For example, if the starring movie exceeds 5 million, the contract will have corresponding changes, and the TV series will have a rating of 30, but even if these are not included, this 37-percent contract is still very generous, at least I am quite satisfied. .

It was as if we were having a tea party. Anyway, we didn’t talk about business, and the money was all handed out for no reason. Then we were going to have a dinner together, so I had no choice but to follow.

But when we came down, we were quite respectable. Following Girls’ Generation, Jae Shi, and others in front, we newcomers also received a lot of cheers. Many people even didn’t know me. Girls’ Generation’s Noona also Take the initiative to introduce.

"This is our new junior Park Bo Gum, and he is also responsible for the best male appearance in SW. If anyone says that our SW is a gathering place for ugly men in the future, they will fight back with Bo Gum's photo!" Taeyeon Noona even ran over as she spoke. Stand beside me.

I just stood by with a smile, but it wasn’t until the fans kindly reminded me that I realized that I seemed to have made a mistake, so I hurriedly bent my legs a little, and Taeyeon Noona smiled with satisfaction, Then he patted my shoulder with one hand, as if a leader was condolences to his subordinates.

The fans next to me burst into laughter, and I felt it was quite funny myself. It seemed that these somewhat nervous nuna were more down-to-earth in private. For a moment, I hesitated to get closer to them.

But this flash of thought soon disappeared. I finally paid the price for my youth. I have to look at people in a comprehensive and dialectical way. Apart from Seohyun and Noona, Girls’ Generation can just treat them as distant idols. .

Originally, a newbie like me was responsible for the barbecue in this environment. As for the final payment, it was not my turn. But I don’t know if it’s because the family atmosphere is too strong. These noonas always come to help. I drink.

First, I asked Brother Menglong for help, but he couldn't protect himself. Then I found Xu Xiannouna, but it seemed that she said a few words for me and they gave me a glass of wine.

"I'm not an adult yet!" This was my last straw.

However, Xiuying Noona came over and interjected: "You are already 1993, so you should know how to drink. Otherwise, what will you do if you get drunk and molested by a female pervert when you go out to play!"

This is the last sentence I can remember. The wine is not good at all, but the atmosphere is really good, and the people in the company are also very good to me as a newcomer. I don’t think it’s just because I look good, because that Liu Junyeol, who is not so handsome, has been so drunk that he can no longer stand up.

Unknowingly, I also fell down. I personally like the company very much. Whether it is the cowardly male force or the powerful Nuna gang, everyone is really like a family.

"When there are new people in the future, I will pinch their cheeks and drink wine..." With the last obsession, under two bottles of soju and one beer, on the first day of officially entering SW, I was glorious!
