Peninsula Platinum Era

Chapter 241 Ballet Dancer

"This girl has really been working hard lately. You know, Starship is about to launch a new lineup, and she's the core member."

Chen Shijun never hesitated to shower his younger sister with praise, even in front of Zheng Encai.

"I'm really envious. She's done a really good job as an idol. I wonder how many fans are looking forward to this."

The older sister naturally knew what kind of words Chen Shijun liked to hear. Pleasant words were free and could be said at will. Although this little girl had offended her, there was no real grudge between them.

"Envy? Are you kidding me? Would a famous actor like you envy an idol?"

Chen Shijun chuckled. Today, he had chosen a rather expensive restaurant. En Cai Nu Na said that she had always wanted to come here when she was in school more than ten years ago, but she couldn't bear to spend the money. This time, she finally fulfilled a small wish.

"That's true. Film actors generally have higher education levels and seem to have a higher social standing, but in today's society, even relatively well-known actors can't earn as much as idols of the same level."

Because they can't outearn these bouncy guys, everyone has joined forces to create an invisible barrier and successfully discriminate against idols.

"When it comes to endorsements, it's mostly about popularity. Apart from Song Hye-kyo and others, who can compete with idols in terms of endorsements?"

In the past, luxury brand ambassadors were chosen from among actors, but now, almost every member of BLACKPINK represents a luxury brand.

Fang Pangzi even made a bold statement, saying that when Team N debuts, every single member, no matter who they are, will be paired with a luxury brand, and HYBE has the capability to do so for them.

While actresses' salaries have been rising in recent years, Bae Suzy, who ranks among the top ten highest-paid actresses, only earns 20 to 30 million won per episode, which is a negligible portion of her income.

As for older women who have some status but not a huge one, they only have one decent endorsement, and it's not stable. Without a chance to turn things around, they probably won't be able to keep even that one.

“I’ve recently been contacted by a TV series for a supporting role, a rich second-generation female villain. I’m considering it.”

The older sister suddenly remembered some recent events, and the company was asking for her opinion, but it seems like it's already a very good resource.

Although he has to play supporting roles to actresses who started as idols, he was able to do so for Kim Seolhyun, so playing supporting roles for Bae Suzy seems even less of a challenge. His only concern is that his image might be stereotyped.

She asked Chen Shijun to take some photos of her. Usually, her agent sister would act as her photographer. This agent's shooting skills and image processing were excellent, creating a strong film-like atmosphere.

In addition, Jung Eun-chae's natural and casual demeanor creates a beauty that is captured unintentionally, making her look like a frame from a dynamic story.

Of course, Chen Shijun didn't have that skill. He took a long time to take a couple of photos that met Enchae Nuna's standards, but they needed to be edited before they could be published.

"Who says Britain doesn't have good food? Look at this, it's pretty delicious. Stereotypes are definitely an exaggeration."

Yuan Ying, that girl, kept asking what she was eating and said she was still hungry, but she still had to control her weight for the monthly evaluation.

Although they have already proven themselves as idols, like ordinary trainees, there are some things they cannot be given special privileges for, otherwise this new team will be difficult to manage.

This girl's frame isn't small. If she were to grow up to be of a normal size, she would be about the same size as Ahn Yoo-jin. As time goes on, she'll have everything she needs.

Yuan Ying took pictures of the entire table of food for this guy, making her feel like her life had turned gloomy. She should have been the one traveling and eating with Chen Shijun.

"London has 20 to 30 of the world's top 1000 restaurants, maybe more, but..."

The older sister swallowed a piece of herb-stuffed steak. As an actress, she was used to eating small amounts of food, but she couldn't spoil the fun when she was out with Chen Shijun. "But it was mostly French food. You know, London's high-end dining market is very international."

The older sister's words were very tactful, but Chen Shijun wasn't disappointed that he didn't get to eat fish and chips. He figured he'd be staying here for a long time and would eventually get to eat them.

"How did this girl find out you came out with me? Could it be that she's been spying on you on social media all this time?"

Chen Shijun suddenly thought of a question, otherwise there would be no other explanation. He watched as the older sister picked up a napkin and gently touched the corner of her mouth, a knowing smile seemed to flash in her eyes.

"Girls' minds, especially Zhang Yuanying's, are incredibly delicate!"

The older sister felt that this guy was wasting his talents as an idol and should perhaps report to the National Intelligence Service, but she wasn't afraid of her finding out, and for now they were at a point where they kept to themselves.

“I told her a long time ago that I’m here to work, not to play, but she never listens.”

Chen Shijun clearly told her that this was to coordinate HYBE's global talent search recruitment, but Yuan Ying didn't believe it at all, since such a small matter didn't need a director to arrange it.

"Don't even mention that she doesn't believe it. Even if you told me, I still wouldn't believe it. This girl has a clear mind."

The woman's words made Chen Shijun laugh. His purpose in coming out this time was partly for work, and partly to relax and take a detour to Hawaii to look at real estate. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have made a special trip for this global recruitment.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We won't be staying here for more than a few days anyway, so let's just stay here and have some fun."

Although this global recruitment has caused quite a stir, it's still uncertain whether suitable members can be found. While trainees generally come from wealthy families, is it really reliable to find trainees from among the wealthy?

Before leaving, Source Music's representative, Mr. Su, left his contact information, indicating that there was one person he wanted to meet with privately.

……

"Oh, don't worry! They even reimbursed my travel expenses. I've already verified that Representative Su from Source Music will be coming to meet me personally. They're definitely not scammers."

Inside the hotel, a tall, well-built young woman was stretching her body. Her long-term ballet training, which began in kindergarten, had given her an exceptional physique.

Her flexibility and muscle strength make her stand out among her peers, and both parties showed great interest after the online audition with HYBE.

"Being a ballet dancer is tough and doesn't offer much of a future! The other party values ​​me a lot, so I think I might be able to debut soon."

Thanks to the global influence of BTS and BLACKPINK, the girl was moved by the live performance while watching a concert in Osaka.

Suddenly, I felt that the performances in the small theater were rather dull, and the thunderous cheers were more to my liking. As a die-hard fan, my room is covered with BLACKPINK posters.

Representative Su originally planned to fly to the Netherlands himself, but due to other matters, he was unable to do so and opted for a compromise, having the girl go to London to meet Chen Shijun.

“What’s there to worry about? I studied in England before, and I was even younger then. Oh, don’t worry, oh ...

Born into a wealthy middle-class family, Nakamura Ichiyo, as the only child, has been surrounded by love since birth. However, even so, it seems that convincing her parents is not so easy.
