Trainee, in the entertainment circle of China, is still a relatively unfamiliar vocabulary. However, in South Korea, since RAIN became famous, Korean brokerage companies have followed the training model before his debut to build stars from trainees. Almost every company has a large number of rookie reserves. The company selects students regularly according to the plan, and then carries out training according to the quite mature star-making process. It is not easy to be famous in the entertainment circle where Korean newcomers come forth in large numbers. "Brokerage companies invest in money, and artists invest in youth. Our idea is to sell a watch that was originally only 20 yuan for 6.5438+0 million yuan. " A Korean agent concluded that it is conceivable that trainees lead a "stressful" life. They not only work very hard, but also endure the "oppression" of the company. Under the pressure of layers, every Korean trainee is walking on thin ice, and life is extremely difficult. For brokerage companies, training students is the most important link. Usually a student has to practice hard for two to four years. When you charge yourself, you can debut when you have the opportunity. If the opportunity doesn't come, maybe your efforts over the years will be in vain, and you may never become a star on the stage. Trainees who can become successful newcomers rely on real skills, not the "back door" or "hidden rules" in their thinking mode. Famous artists such as HOT, TVXQ!! The Super junior we are familiar with all started from trainees. To be a trainee, you should start as an apprentice and experience cruel training and boring life. In order to get ahead in the fierce competition, the company has formulated a strict system of students' work and rest, and strictly requires students. Nearly half of the training elimination rate has worked in the top management of many large entertainment companies such as Tian Yu, DR and SM. According to Si Jie, Korean trainees are generally trained in singing, dancing, body building and so on, and even food and accommodation are arranged by the company. In the process of training, the company will be cruelly eliminated because of its poor singing skills or out of shape when it grows up. After two years of training, there will be about 50% elimination rate. TVXQ!, the popular group of five at present! And the 13 group SuperJunior basically belongs to the students who participate in training at the same time. At that time, there were about 30 trainees who trained with them, and finally this 18 person debuted. In addition, TVXQ!'s captain Jung Yunho! She worked as a dancer for five years. Cosmetic surgery is a compulsory course for ordinary Korean artists before they debut. The trainees in the training stage underwent plastic surgery before becoming famous. Trainees also have a skilled plastic surgery process: everyone has to undergo a "lens test" regularly, that is, let the lens shoot themselves from all angles on the stage, and then the experts will give an evaluation. The test results are the basis for judging whether an artist should undergo plastic surgery before he debuts. They will undergo some plastic surgery according to the specific situation, so that each side of the lens can be perfect. It is reported that most of the first-line singers in South Korea have undergone plastic surgery, from rhinoplasty with a knife to face-lifting with injections. For example, members of the myth have basically had face-lifting needles. Zheng Duobin, who committed suicide this year, lost public support because of the cosmetic scandal.

At least 70% of the company's income. During the two-year training period, Korean film and television companies have to pay all the expenses for newcomers. If a large company cultivates a portfolio, the annual cost per person will exceed RMB 6,543,800+0,000. In order to ensure that this investment can be recovered, the contract period between the company and the trainees is quite long, ranging from five years. The 10 year contract is very common, and some even terminate. An Qixuan signed a contract with SM when 1995 debuted, and Bao Er, aged 14, also signed a contract with SM in 2000. Up to now, their agency contract is still with their old club. In addition, large companies take a high proportion of artists' income, usually 73% or 82%, and even many artists don't get any money at all in the first few years. Jin Dongwan, a member of the myth, became famous for seven years before he had the money to buy a house for his parents. Si Jie told reporters that those young people who want to become famous have no concept of money at first, but after a few years of fame, they may have conflicts with brokerage companies. If they want to leave their jobs, they must pay high liquidated damages, up to eight figures. Liquidated damages often deter artists. In addition, there are singers' associations and other organizations in Korea. If a singer wants to jump ship before the contract arrives, even if he can afford the liquidated damages, the Singers Association will ask other companies to stop signing with this person. The trainee's main income depends on the meager living expenses of the brokerage company, but these living expenses are almost a drop in the bucket, which also determines that their lives are tight. If they can save food, clothing, housing and transportation, the conditions are very difficult.

It is understood that the living expenses of Korean artists are basically not enough, and diet is a part of their most controllable expenses, so in order to save money by car, they often lower their food standards again and again. Clothes mix and match, wear style.

Buying clothes is the second largest expense that students can control in their lives. Although as an unknown trainee, they can go shopping at will and are not afraid of being surrounded by fans and the media, without enough funds and time support, this street can't go far.

Steal a walk instead of a car.

Taking the bus may be the biggest expense for Korean trainees. You can eat less and buy less clothes, but it is impossible to save money by bus. The cost of taking the bus is a permanent pain for all students. To save travel expenses, members of TVXQ!! I used to stay in the company for training, saving transportation expenses. There is no privacy in collective life. The living arrangements of Korean trainees are basically arranged by economic companies. What is better is that similar students live in rented dormitories, and many people often squeeze into a small room. Poor conditions are basically living on the balcony or office floor of the brokerage company. It has become a practice to detect corporal punishment with sweat. "Artists will be beaten when training." Kim, vice president of South Korea's MC Entertainment Company, said: "But it's not that terrible. If you can survive, you won't be afraid of any problems in the future. If you can't stand it, it proves that you are not suitable for this business. It is a good thing to quit early and reposition yourself. " He believes that many people in China don't understand this point because there are differences in the understanding of corporal punishment between the two countries. Andy, a member of the myth, is said to have been beaten by the president of the brokerage company. According to the agent, Cui Hanzhen, CEO of South Korea's G 1 Entertainment Company (owned by MBC), said that although South Korea's entertainment industry is prosperous, most of the top stars are concentrated in some big entertainment companies, including SM, JPY, HQ, FANTOM and STARM. These major entertainment companies have been listed, and they are basically giants in the industry: they not only participate in the production of film and television dramas, but also sign their own stars. In Korea, major TV stations, music companies and film and television production companies have formed a long-term and effective selection mechanism. They publicized the selection activities through the Internet and the media. Candidates have no conditions, no threshold and equal opportunities. However, these selections are not public drafts, and they are completely decided by the company and are not affected by fan voting. Mr. Cui said that when looking for a singer, the company will conduct a selection once a month. Generally speaking, look at resumes, looks, basic skills and looks. There are many ways to select actors, including street scouts, school recommendation, insider recommendation, beauty pageant and so on. There are not many professional film and television performance schools in Korea, and many actors are from the performance departments of comprehensive universities. After formal employment, the newcomers are greeted by comprehensive and systematic company training. According to the different foundation of each person, the training duration is different, usually three years. To train a new person, the company needs to spend hundreds of millions of won (equivalent to millions of RMB). Performance training is mainly based on the combination of individual guidance and group learning, 1 3 times, 3 hours per week. At the same time, newcomers, both men and women, need to keep exercising and keep healthy. Almost all artists in Korea can maintain excellent figure. Few men don't have abdominal muscles, and women mainly aim at losing weight. In addition to basic skills, brokerage companies attach great importance to the basic knowledge of newcomers. Newcomers are forced to watch news reports every day. The agent believes that to be a star, you must be clear-headed and be a man. Watching the news can keep them out of society. In addition, how to face the media is also an important course for newcomer training. Regarding the general experience of Han Xing's plastic surgery, Mr. Cui said: "In fact, before a star enters the business, he usually has to undergo plastic surgery himself, and after perfecting himself in all aspects, he will enter the company training."
