Chapter 363

"Okay, Hyomin, your filming is over. You can go to the side and take a rest."

"Yes, thank you PD Lin for your hard work, and thank you all for your hard work."

After hearing Lin Yongzhe's words, Park Hyomin first bowed to thank the staff in front of her, and then walked to her teammates next to her.

Then, without caring about his image, he slumped down on the stool, still complaining.

"It's finally over. I'm so tired."

"Who told you to have more photos? Just be tired if you want to."

Jeon Bo-ram looked at Park Hyo-min with gloating eyes, first patted her leg, telling her to pay attention to her image, and then spoke to her in a teasing tone.

"Alas, I also want to be so tired and take so many photos, but they won't give me the chance?"

"Ouni~~, how could you do this?"

Looking at Jeon Bo-ram speechlessly, Park Hyo-min's expression was full of helplessness, and she started complaining to her directly.

"This is the decision of the company and the program team, and it's not what I want!"

"And didn't they tell us to take more photos of me, Jiyeon, and Ju-ri in this big city? That way the effect will be better."

"When you get to those natural scenic spots, that will be your and Soken-unnie's home turf."

"Do you remember the photos you took earlier?"

"That's several times ours."

"Okay, that's what I said."

Listening to Park Hyomin's complaints, Jeon Boram felt a little embarrassed, and quickly picked up the coffee next to her and handed it to Park Hyomin.

"Isn't this just to tease you?"

"Don't you know your sister yet? How could I be jealous of you?"

"As long as it is beneficial to our team, I agree to it."

"Besides, I don't want to do anything but watch you guys perform."

Thinking back to the scene a while ago when she wore Chinese traditional costumes and acted cute, she got goose bumps.

Although I am the oldest one in the team, I need to maintain that cute girlish feeling because of my appearance and personality.

It is very difficult for her to act cute in front of the camera anytime and anywhere.

I can't say that I hate it, but I'm already 27 and will be 30 soon, and I still need to maintain this loli girl persona, which is quite difficult.

She also wants to show her mature and sexy side.

But when I looked through the glass window, at the princess dress I was wearing, at Park Hyomin's professional black silk skirt and tight skirt, and then at Park Jiyeon's cool leather jacket, I felt crazy.

"Why am I a girl character?"

"It is obvious that Ming Yan is the youngest, why is she..."

Looking at Jeon Bo-ram whose expression was getting increasingly crazy, Park Hyo-min slightly curled the corners of her mouth.

As a teammate who has been together for several years, how could she not know Jeon Bo-ram's pain points?

So after seeing the expression on Jeon Bo-ram's face, he quickly changed the subject.

"Baolan, we have been in China for a month now. How do you feel about this place?"

"I suddenly feel that we are doing pretty well in China."

"Of course."

Jeon Baolan glanced at the tall buildings of Lujiazui Financial Center outside the window, and couldn't help sighing.

"Look here, can you imagine that they built all of this in less than 20 years?"

"And it's not just here. We've been to so many filming locations. How could those places be any worse than Korea?"

"The most important thing is that they are still developing rapidly here and have no intention of stopping for a moment."

"And considering the population size here, if we can really gain a foothold here, there's really no need to go back."

"Yeah, if we can really gain a foothold here, there's really no need for us to go back."

Park Hyomin was also a little emotional at this time, and her eyes became a little blurred.

Before coming here, Huang Xu had actually talked to them about a lot of things, allowing them to have a preliminary understanding of China and the Chinese entertainment industry.

However, these were just what Huang Xu said, and they did not completely believe it. They just hoped that the conditions in Huang Xu's words could be less discounted.

After this month's personal experience, they have a deeper understanding of China.

The final result was a bit devastating for them.

Why is Huang Xu so honest!
Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of boss always exaggerate a lot when painting a rosy picture for artists and employees?
Why was it that what Huang Xu said at the time was not only not exaggerated at all, but was even a little too conservative.

At that time, Huang Xu said that an average third- or fourth-tier celebrity would earn a whopping 20 to 30 million won for a commercial performance.

The prices of those first-line stars will increase exponentially on this basis.

She still remembers that when she and her teammates heard Huang Xu say this, their faces were full of disbelief.

This is the price for a commercial performance by a first-line star in Korea.

As a result, they now discovered that Huang Xu was still holding back when he said these words.

A few days ago, when they were recording a program in Yangcheng, they happened to encounter the opening of a shopping mall and invited some celebrities to come and support it.

Then they inquired about the quotes for commercial performances and found out that the income for a third or fourth tier star for a commercial performance was as high as 40 to 50 million won.

In addition to the commercial performance remuneration, they also need to bear the transportation and accommodation expenses of the stars and staff.

It can be said that when they knew this, they almost collapsed.

You have to know that in Korea, the cost of commercial performances is basically all-inclusive.

Transportation, meals, accommodation and travel expenses are all included in the commercial performance quotation.

It can be said that in Korea, in addition to the large sum of money that the company takes away from a commercial performance, the company also needs to take out a portion of their pitiful share to pay various people.

By this calculation, the income gap between Chinese and Korean stars is even greater.

In addition to this incident, there is another more important thing, that is, Chinese fans are too tolerant towards their favorite celebrities.

The stars here, or most of the stars, are very free on weekdays. They can do whatever they want as long as it is not against the law.

It can be said that apart from your fans, no one will pay attention to what you do or what you have done.

But it’s different in South Korea, where there are countless pairs of eyes watching the stars.

If you are not careful, you will be attacked by everyone.

Even if you eat a little more on the show, you will be forced to apologize.

Wasn’t it because of their teammates’ false accusations that they were caught up in a “bullying” incident last year and couldn’t get out of it for a long time?
The thought of being boycotted by the entire network and even ganked made her feel scared.

If it weren't for Huang Xu, they would probably still be struggling to clear themselves of suspicion!
Thinking of this, she suddenly missed Huang Xu a little.

"He has been gone for so many days, he should be back soon."

"I remember he said at the time that he would come back every week to check the progress, check the shooting quality, and make subsequent shooting plans."

"But why haven't you come back yet?"

"Why don't you send a message to ask when he'll come to visit, but..."

"If I send a message to ask him now, will he misunderstand something?"

"Ding~~~" Just when Park Hyomin thought of Huang Xu and was hesitating whether to send a message to Huang Xu to ask, a message alert sound rang from her personal mobile phone.

Park Hyomin picked it up casually and was about to see what the news was. After seeing the content, she widened her eyes in surprise.

"He's back!"

"Who's back?"

Jeon Bo-ram was also very curious when she saw Park Hyo-min's surprised expression.

Then he leaned forward slightly and tilted his head, wanting to see what the news was that made Park Hyomin so surprised.

Unfortunately, she was not tall enough and Park Hyomin put her phone away immediately so she didn't see it.

And Park Hyomin pretended to be casual and explained to her.

"No one? Just a friend went back to his country."

"Really? Just friends?"

"Really!"

Park Hyomin looked at the curious Jeon Bo-ram, put the phone directly into her backpack, and then spoke to Jeon Bo-ram.

"Come on, unnie, Jiyeon has almost finished filming over there, let's go over there too."

"Let's shoot the remaining shots, and we'll be almost halfway done with today's shoot."

"Maybe I can go back to the hotel early to rest in the afternoon!"

As he said that, he pulled Jeon Bo-ram up and prepared to take a photo.

However, she didn't know that her attempt to cover up the truth made Quan Baolan even more curious about the information she had just received.

She looked at Park Hyomin who was in a hurry, then turned her head to glance at the backpack behind her, her curiosity clearly revealed in her eyes.

And in his heart, he also complained about Park Hyomin.

"Ordinary friends? Ordinary as hell!"

"With this kind of reaction, no one would believe you if you told me you were just ordinary friends."

"Something must be wrong with Hyomin, otherwise she wouldn't react like this."

"But who is the other party?"

"I haven't seen her on weekdays. Has she had any contact with other men, or any excessive interactions with them?"

However, she did not express these doubts directly, but kept the matter deep in her heart.

Instead, he looked at Park Hyomin's back and made a decision secretly.

"You have the guts to keep it a secret from me, otherwise I will definitely investigate it. Who is your ordinary friend?"

"Are you and him just ordinary friends?"

Just as Park Hyomin was pulling Jeon Boram over to take a photo, Huang Xu on the other side looked at the message he had sent, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response at all.

And seeing that they had already arrived at the hotel parking lot, he could only comfort himself with these words.

"She didn't reply to messages, she must be filming."

Then he put away his phone, got out of the car with Zhang Rui, and entered the hotel lobby.

However, just as Huang Xu was about to check in, a slight disagreement occurred.

"Xiao Xu, don't book a room. The two of us can just sleep in one."

"My room is a standard room with an empty bed. Besides, aren't you just going to sleep there for one night and leave tomorrow?"

"We can just deal with it for one night."

"It's inconvenient, Ruige."

Huang Xu shook his head helplessly, directly rejected Zhang Rui's proposal, and spoke directly to the front desk.

"Help me get an executive suite, one that's a little bigger."

"Yes sir, please."

When Zhang Rui saw this, although he was a little confused, he didn't say anything. Instead, he waited until Huang Xu checked into the room before asking Huang Xu.

"We have been sleeping in the same dormitory for three or four years. What's the inconvenience?"

"Brother Rui, have you forgotten my identity?"

Looking at Zhang Rui who was still struggling with the room he had just booked, Huang Xu's face was full of helplessness. He directly pulled Zhang Rui into the room he had just booked, and then explained to him.

"I am now PD Jin of the program team and the producer of the program, not Huang Xu."

"The two of us should keep a proper distance and not let others know that we know each other."

"Besides this, I came here to check the results and their filming plans."

"I have to have a space to hold meetings for them."

"Yeah too!"

After listening to Huang Xu's explanation, Zhang Rui suddenly understood and nodded.

But then he remembered something and asked Huang Xu again.

"Speaking of which, there's something I forgot to ask. How did you become the PD of the show?"

"Also, didn't we study film and television production in college?"

"How did I become the PD of the show?"

"Besides, aren't you busy running a restaurant chain right now?"

"Why are you filming a variety show all of a sudden?"

"Also, how did you arrange for me to come in?"

Zhang Rui looked at Huang Xu in confusion and asked him all the questions that had been on his mind for the past few days.

A few days ago, he received a call from Huang Xu, asking him to come over and help.

Then when he came here, he found out that this was actually a variety show filming crew, and they were recording Tara’s new group variety show.

At first he thought that this was Huang Xu helping him to find connections and seek benefits.

After all, I am considered a loyal fan of Tara.

But the situation was different later. Huang Xu told him to pay attention to the situation within the program group and then report to him.

And this morning he was asked to go to the airport to pick up the program's producer, PD Kim.

It turned out that the person who answered the call was his college classmate and roommate, and now his boss Huang Xu.

Now there were only two of them in the room, so they asked all their questions at once and waited for Huang Xu's answers.

However, facing Zhang Rui's puzzled face, Huang Xu simply pretended.

"Of course it's because I conquered them with my talent, and then they cried and begged me, so I became the PD."

"Stop it, explain it to me."

Seeing Huang Xu pretending to be cool, Zhang Rui was not polite and continued to ask him directly.

"I'm dying of curiosity now."

"Okay, okay, let me tell you, the reason I can do all this is, of course, because I'm their boss!"
