Peninsula: Don’t just fall in love on Fridays

Chapter 8 President Nim who loves organic
Eating fried food at night can be said to be a taboo for artists.

The intake of this kind of high-calorie food can easily make you swollen like a pig's head the next day.

Kang Do-hwan, who never suffers from edema, only noticed the thick dark circles under his eyes.

The lethality of Brother Zhong Sheng’s icy American coffee was too great. After rolling over and over in bed several times and failing to fall asleep, he simply got up and studied the script.

Forced to stay up all night, he was in a drowsy state and felt that he urgently needed a glass of iced American coffee to stay alive.

I remembered that Gao Zixiang had mentioned to me that the Chinese often complained about the Peninsula people's obsession with coffee. They even joked that when the Peninsula people went for a physical examination, what was drawn was not blood, but iced American coffee.

At first, Jiang Zhaohuan thought it was a bit exaggerated, but during the time he lived on the peninsula, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

He once witnessed a senior in the same major drinking five cups of coffee a day... Just by watching, he was a little worried about the senior's health.

Jiang Zhaohuan put his wallet and dormitory room key into his waist bag. After deciding that there was no need to take anything else, he left a message on Gao Zixiang's KakaoTalk on his mobile phone while going downstairs to find Cui Zhongsheng who was waiting for him at the school gate.

It takes some time to walk from the dormitory to the entrance of Yonsei University, so I just ran to the end.

Jiang Zhaohuan, who cares a lot about time, doesn't like others waiting for him, and similarly, he doesn't like waiting for others.

Jiang Zhaohuan opened the passenger door and got in, nodding politely to Cui Zhongsheng:
"Good morning, Brother Zhong Sheng. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"I'm here early. Let's go to the company now. I've already drafted the contract with the president yesterday."

"Inside."

It doesn’t take much time to get from Sinchon to Cheongdam-dong, after all, Seoul is a small place.

The city of Oxford, where he previously lived, covers an area of ​​more than 2,000 square kilometers, while Seoul is only more than 600 square kilometers.

As the car slowly parked in the parking lot behind the company, Jiang Zhaohuan felt that the plain and dilapidated building in front of him did not match the appearance of the three major entertainment agencies in the Peninsula no matter how many times he looked at it. Even the interior of the company could only be described as ordinary.

He followed Choi Jong-seung obediently and took the narrow elevator, which was as narrow as the artist's body management, to the top floor.

Walk all the way to the end of the corridor and you will see the sign that says "President's Office".

dong dong dong.

After three knocks on the door, the voice of President Park Jin-young came from inside.

When they pushed the door open, they saw the president, who was also wearing sunglasses, watering the nutrient-rich potted plants that were growing wildly on his desk with mineral water.

Park Jin-young put down the bottle of water in his hand, raised his eyes and noticed a handsome young man not many inches away from the door frame.

The pair of phoenix eyes with light pupils, just looking at her casually, even the black mole on her left cheek seemed charming.

Well, of course he knew that these were all his illusions. It was simply that the Ruifeng eyes were more lethal. With a slight smile, he would appear to be looking at everything with deep affection.

This appearance is undoubtedly the best in their company. Even if it is in SM Entertainment, it can make Lee Soo Man wake up in the middle of the night to laugh secretly.

As for why they are happy, it is simply because they save a lot of money on fine-tuning or head replacement.

Park Jin Young thought about the scout who had worked hard to discover this treasure, so he should give him a little more in his year-end bonus, because he deserved it!
He came in front of Jiang Zhaohuan with a smile on his face, without any airs of a president of a big company.

After carefully reading the information, he knew that Jiang Zhaohuan had lived in the UK for a long time, so he simply ignored the Peninsula's etiquette and said casually:

"Your name is Jiang Zhaohuan, right?"

"Nei, President Nim."

"He's really handsome. It's a pity that he's just an actor."

Jiang Zhaohuan was a little stunned. He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Because he knew that idol groups in the Peninsula were all good at singing and dancing, but he had no talent for dancing since he was a child.

Because of the uncoordinated appearance of his limbs, he never danced again after his elementary school graduation performance.

Choi Jong-seung noticed Jiang Zhaohuan's look for help, and he quickly stepped forward and said:
"President-nim, Do Hwan has a shoot this morning, so let's sign the contract quickly so as not to delay the crew's progress."

"Yeah, that's right." Park Jin Young took out the drafted actor contract from the drawer. To be honest, he had not originally planned to recruit any actors. He just wanted to create the most perfect idol group.

But he always felt that he would regret it if he didn't sign Kang Do-hwan.

Jiang Zhaohuan took the artist contract handed over by the president with both hands.

There was one clause that was more important to him than the share of income.

There is no rush to look at the profit sharing after other projects are finalized.

Kang Do-hwan has always been unsure about how much he loves his career as an actor.

So what matters most is the length of the contract.

When he saw the column that said four years in duration, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Last night, Gao Zixiang, who is very familiar with the Peninsula entertainment industry, gave himself a brief introduction.

It is said that in order to retain artists, many large companies generally sign the first version of artist contracts for seven years, and some companies even choose ten years.

This type of contract of less than five years is basically used to renew the contracts of artists who have already debuted and have a certain level of popularity.

Park Jin Young had been observing Kang Do Hwan's facial expressions through his sunglasses, and when he saw him confirm the contract duration immediately, a hint of joy appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The reason why it only took four years to write about was because Choi Jong-seung investigated Kang Do-hwan's background and found out that the villa this guy lived in in the UK was quite expensive and that his clothes were all branded, which meant that he was not a guy who was short of money.

So if you want to keep him in the company and make him grateful, you can only shorten the contract period.

As long as he treats his artists well, the probability of him renewing the contract will be higher.

The one who keeps popular artists in their agencies is the real winner.

Jiang Zhaohuan casually flipped through the contract and found that the profit sharing ratio was basically 50-50. Only in advertising and activities did the company take the majority of the share, but it was also a very reasonable 60-40 split.

This made him recall what Gao Zixiang had said.

Don't go to SM Entertainment among the big companies. I heard that their first contract starts at seven years.

Not only that, only overseas activities account for the majority of the artists' income, and the rest of the income is almost all tightly held in the hands of the company. It is a well-known vampire company!
Jiang Zhaohuan carefully checked the contract and signed his name carefully only after making sure that there was nothing disadvantageous to him.

He handed the signed contract to Park Jin-young, and the smile on his face became more sincere:

"President Nim, I will take every scene seriously and try my best not to let you down."

"Hahaha, Do Hwan, don't put pressure on yourself. After this filming is over, I will invite a few better teachers to give you some necessary courses such as expression management. Of course, if you feel stressed one day, the company also has psychological counselors. Remember to tell me if you need anything, understand?"

Park Jin-young has always attached great importance to the mental health of his artists. The market of Peninsula is so small that there will naturally be a dark side where the competition is fierce.

Therefore, as the president, what he can do is to supervise the team around the artists, pay attention to the physical and mental health of their artists in a timely manner, and ensure that things that no one wants to see do not happen.

Seeing that there was not much time left before the shooting, Park Jin Young smiled and patted Kang Do Hwan on the shoulder. Instead of putting pressure on him, he reminded him not to forget his three meals a day and to eat more organic food when he joined the crew for the shooting.

After leaving the company and getting in the car, Jiang Zhaohuan couldn't resist his curiosity and turned around and asked:
"Brother Zhongsheng, does the president like organic food very much?"

"Hahaha, yes, President Nim has always said that after making a lot of money and buying a new building, he must build an organic cafeteria to ensure that the artists and employees can eat well."

"That's it."

No wonder mineral water is used to water the potted plants, and there is a box of organic green tea on the table.

Jiang Zhaohuan held his chin and looked out the window. It is rare to find a president who cares about the physical and mental health of artists. Many company executives only regard employees as tools to make money, and artists are even more like commodities in their eyes.

He suddenly felt that he had made the right choice in JYP Entertainment, and began to look forward to a less peaceful life in the future.
