007 To be or Not to be
When Lin Junxiu returned home, Lin Zhimei was still working in the night supermarket. In fact, Lin Junxiu really hoped that Lin Zhimei would quit this job, but the family really didn’t have much money. Although the new Johnny’s contract could supplement the family’s income.
A little income, but judging from Lin Junxiu's observations these days, it's really a drop in the bucket. Although Japanese idol artists are not exploited like Korean idol artists and owe money to their agencies, they really don't earn much.
Money. Those who really make money in the entertainment industry are the creators of their works. Popular singer-songwriters (the kind who do all the lyrics and music themselves) can easily buy a Ferrari a year; but popular idol artists, unless
If you can receive a national advertising endorsement, otherwise you may not be able to save a Ferrari for five years. So Lin Junxiu extinguished the remaining "moral sense" in his heart. After all, if he wants to survive, then he has no choice but to be a copycat.
Japanese public schools almost never leave any homework for students, and there are very few even some basic in-class tests, for fear of hurting the children's hearts. Therefore, if they do not enroll in cram schools, Japanese students' spare time is really
It was terrifyingly sufficient. But since Lin Junxiu decided to be admitted to Azabu High School, he would have to work many times harder than ordinary Japanese students. Lin Junxiu bought a few reference books with the pocket money he saved, and then couldn't help but sigh
The price of Japanese teaching aids is really terrible. In a sense, it is a special kind of happiness for Chinese children to be able to vomit on the topics in the tutoring books.
After sorting out the knowledge points he has mastered in the past two days, Lin Junxiu has basically determined that he has no big problems in Chinese, mathematics, English, science and other subjects, but the biggest problem at present is history. The history that Lin Junxiu learned in his previous life can be
It’s not Japanese history. For Lin Junxiu, Japanese history is just a small part of world history. And this Lin Junxiu’s predecessor was not a child who loved learning. When he encountered a relatively boring subject like history, he naturally
He went to bed. Therefore, Lin Junxiu had to spend time starting from the history book in the first grade of junior high school and slowly make up for the missed history lessons.
"Junxiu Jun, haven't you rested yet?" Just when Lin Junxiu was fascinated by reading, there was a gentle knock on the door. "Mom is coming in." Then, the door opened. He looked tired.
Lin Zhimei saw Lin Junxiu who was studying, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Junxiu Jun, mom knows that you want to study hard, but you must also pay attention to your body."
"I will pay attention." Lin Junxiu nodded and said, "By the way, this is the new contract of the firm and you need to sign it."
Even though Lin Junxiu is a party to this contract, he is still a minor after all, so the contract still needs to be signed by his guardian in the end. However, Lin Zhimei’s education is not high. She looked at the contract and said a little apologetically: "
Mom can’t understand it either, so if Junxiu-kun thinks there’s no problem, then mom can just stamp it.”
Japan's seal culture is very popular. A Japanese will have at least two seals. One is called the identification seal, which is needed for express delivery and so on. The other is called the real seal, which is used for anyone who needs to prove their identity.
This is the time when you need to use this seal. Basically, in Japan, using a real seal to stamp it means signature approval. Of course, opening a bank account and other subsequent operations require a bank seal, and signing documents within the company requires
Make special corner seals. However, for Lin Junxiu's family, bank seals and corner seals are too far away. Lin Zhimei only has real seals and recognition seals.
"There is a difference between this contract and the last contract." Lin Junxiu felt that it was not worth it for Lin Zhimei. As a single mother, she had to work so hard to raise a child, but in the end, the child did not even share the key points of the contract.
"It turns out that Junxiu-kun can also make money for the family!" Lin Zhimei said with surprise when she heard that the new contract included a certain monthly salary for Junxiu-kun. "My mother was still worried about what Junxiu-kun would do when he goes to high school. Now Junxiu-kun
You can earn your own pocket money.”
"I can't use that much pocket money." Lin Junxiu was startled, and then said immediately. The monthly salary given to him by Johnny & Associates plus other subsidies is 50,000 yen a month. Although the average monthly salary for formal members in Japan is
The income can reach more than 150,000 yen, but this is Johnny after all. But even so, using 50,000 yen as pocket money is too exaggerated. The pocket money of Japanese junior high school students is probably less than 3,000 yen per month.
The amount of pocket money for high school students is 5,000 yen. Of course, girls will get a little more than boys. If it is really 50,000 yen as pocket money, then they are really the little rich among the students. "Every month
My 5,000 yen is enough. If I need anything else, I will ask you for it. Leave the other money at home, so that you can go to the late-night supermarket less times a week. I said, I will make it easier for my family to
The better comes.”
"Then thank you Junxiu-kun." Lin Zhimei looked at Lin Junxiu's insistent eyes and finally agreed. The extra income of more than 40,000 yuan per month is really a surprise for this poor single-parent family.
What a surprise.
After Lin Zhimei finished printing the contract, Lin Junxiu began to pack his schoolbag. Lin Zhimei didn't say anything more, but left Lin Junxiu's bedroom silently. Lin Zhimei returned to the living room and packed some things
, and then she sorted out a place to sleep. When Lin Zhimei lay down to rest, she thought of Lin Junxiu’s words. For some reason, she felt that Lin Junxiu’s promise could be fulfilled. When she thought of this, she was busy for a whole day.
Lin Zhimei was completely relaxed.
"Do you plan to let this child make a solo debut?" When facing his niece, Johnny always has a critical eye. Perhaps this is due to some dissatisfaction with her mother, her sister.
Well. Johnny's feelings for his sister Mary are very complicated. Without his sister's help, the current Johnny & Associates might not exist. The best result would be nothing more than a support club produced by Watanabe. Even Johnny doubts
Will Shin Watanabe swallow up all his property and turn Johnny & Associates from a support club into a complete connection club? But it is also because of his sister's existence that he has to have many problems when managing artists.
Compromise. "What do you expect from his creative abilities?"
"You can tell just by looking at his works." Jingzi knew that his uncle would definitely compromise when faced with his identity as a songwriter. The creative ability of Johnny's Agency is actually quite worrying. The entire agency's official songwriter
People are just Makaino Koji. That’s not to say that Makaino Koji’s works are not good, but no matter how great a songwriter is, there are highs and lows, right? What should I do if I encounter Makaino Koji’s creative trough? Inside the office
There is no replacement candidate. And external outstanding songwriters don’t want to meet idols. After all, apart from some sales of idols’ records, the gains in word-of-mouth and awards are rather embarrassing. Therefore, Johnny & Associates has always hoped to find a stable and productive person.
As a songwriter, even if he cannot replace Makaino Koji, it would be best if he can become a strong substitute who can make an immediate impact when Makaino Koji is at a low point in his creation.
"If this kid can turn in a decent work, I will agree to let him make his solo debut." Johnny finally said. Just when Keiko was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly said again, "Julie, I know
What are your thoughts? But this child is indeed not simple. I hope you can put in 100% of your efforts to cultivate this child. This is not only beneficial to you, but also beneficial to the company. Remember, don’t let this child go easily.
When leaving the office, he must be tied to our chariot."
Hearing Johnny's last few words, Jingzi was a little surprised. Yes, she was indeed using Lin Junxiu. On the one hand, she wanted to try her hand and accumulate some experience for leading the group in the future; on the other hand, she also wanted to work in affairs
Some noises were made within the office, letting other young Johnnys know that there was another supporter in the office that they could rely on. Therefore, Jingzi's cultivation of Lin Junxiu could only be said to be limited. After all, experimental works do not need to be so laborious. But now Jingzi
The emphasis on Lin Junxiu has increased by several levels. Although Jingzi herself doesn't know how to judge the future of a little Johnny, she believes in her uncle's vision.
"Of course, even if that child can't become a successful artist, he definitely has a chance to become a successful behind-the-scenes producer." After hearing what her daughter relayed, Mary chuckled. "Why is Jenny not willing to let that child easily?"
Leave? It’s very simple. What will happen if a person who can clearly see our selection mechanism and standards joins our rival company? Now we can indeed use our advantageous position to force TV stations and radio stations to ban other male idol groups from being exposed. But
, whether a group becomes popular or not depends on its work. We have had the male idol cake for too long, and other companies have long been dissatisfied. Stardust has been recruiting suitable boys, and Vision Factory has launched one after another
Several male idol groups came to test our attitude. If that kid joins these companies in the future, he can completely use the resources of these companies to create groups similar to ours, and then use the same operating methods to snipe us. Therefore, he cannot
Walk."
"I understand." Keiko nodded. "And I think that kid is quite capable. I heard that he is quite prestigious in Kanto Johnny's. Although he can't compete with Takki (Takizawa Hideaki), Yuki (
Compared with Yuki Obara), it can be considered a small group." As for the factions within Johnny's, senior executives like Keiko are well-informed. However, the competition between these factions is still relatively controllable so far.
Moreover, the firm also needs this kind of competition, so the senior management chose to ignore it.
"Then let's see what he can do." Mary said quite calmly, with a slight smile on her lips. "There are two mountains pressing on it, I want to see what he will do.
?”
While Mary and Keiko were talking about Lin Xiuming, he rushed to the office with the newly signed contract. After handing the new contract to the agency, Lin Junxiu went to the practice room to participate in Johnny's practice. Akanishi Jin
He looked at Lin Junxiu a little strangely. After all, Lin Junxiu had told him that he was quitting the company. But thinking about what happened to Keiko yesterday, Akanishi Jin also guessed that things would change. Sure enough, during the break, Lin Junxiu
