Starting a second career in the entertainment industry

Chapter 40: Beginning the Journey in the Entertainment Industry

The day after signing the contract, Wenrou met her agent, a woman in her early 30s who seemed easy to get along with. But later she found out that beneath this agent's seemingly easy-going appearance, she was actually a person with clear goals and strong execution ability.

The two had a good impression of each other when they first met at the agency. The agent introduced himself first: "Hello, I'm Sun Yunyan, your future agent. The company hasn't assigned you an assistant yet, so I'll be your assistant for the time being. You can tell me if you have anything to say. I hope we can work hard together in this circle in the future. I heard that your debut name is Wen Ling, so I'll call you Wen Ling or Lyn from now on, so you can get used to it."

The agent spoke sincerely and had a good attitude. At least Wenrou felt good at first sight, and they should be able to get along well in the future: "Hello, Sister Sun, I am a complete newcomer, and I will definitely trouble you in the future. Please take care of me in the future."

Sun Yunyan had a good first impression of this polite girl. From what she heard, this girl was a nice person with a good personality. More importantly, this girl had good conditions. As long as she was willing to work hard, she would definitely be able to become famous: "You can call me Sister Yunyan from now on. If you call me Sister Sun, I sound too old. Sister Yunyan is just right."

Nodding gently: "Okay, Sister Yunyan. Sister Yunyan, I just signed the contract yesterday. Is there anything I need to do next?"

Sun Yunyan thought for a moment: "Before I came here, I learned a little about you, including your family, your education, and the recent hot topics about you. I have seen the songs you sang in the bar. First of all, you have no language barriers. French, English, Korean, Japanese, and Cantonese are all good. So our first step is in Asia, and then develop in Europe and the United States, but the prerequisite is that you go far enough in Asia."

"In fact, before signing with you, the company established a branch company because it had a new development plan. The previous music road was not easy to follow. Now is the era of traffic, and you are the company's pioneer. This is the company's new attempt and challenge. The mainland is obviously underdeveloped in this area. If you debut as a singer, I guess we will all starve to death. So your first stop is to train at a Korean agency for at least half a year. Of course, you have to operate in China at the same time. During this period, you must also cooperate with the activities organized by the company, and then debut in Korea, and then gradually broaden your path in Asian countries."

Wenrou knew all this yesterday. When she heard it again from her agent today, she still didn't know how to describe it: "Actually, I'm really confused by what you guys said. I used to like music, but I also know that it's obviously unrealistic to debut as a pure singer in our country. But in Korea, can I do it? I heard that the competition there is even more intense. I'm really a little unsure?"

Sun Yunyan: "So, this is why you got a good contract. The company can give you resources, but the premise is that you can be a tester when the company is transforming. The previous cooperation between Lehua Company and SM also gave us some experience. Don't worry, your sister and I are bound together and will definitely try our best to help you. This time you go to Korea to practice, it is also because our company cooperates with YG. We are responsible for all activities in China, and then we are jointly responsible for Korea, Japan, etc."

"Then my future debut positioning will be an idol/singer, then a model, and then an actor?" After coming to her senses, Wenrou found it hard to believe that she had so many roles.

Sun Yunyan looked at the girl's beautiful eyes with an expression of disbelief and laughed, "What's wrong? You didn't realize it just now, did you? You debuted as an idol first to build a traffic foundation. You chose the modeling path because your appearance and body proportions are really superior. It would be a pity to give up being a model. Maybe you can grow a few centimeters. Finally, you can become an actor. Now that you have traffic, you can at least have many scripts to choose from. And you have also made it clear that you are dispensable for acting, so you don't have to stick to the acting path. You are really young, so it's not a bad idea to choose the idol path first."

Hearing that she could still grow taller, Wenrou was a little horrified: "Sister, I like my long legs, but I don't want to become a giant. My current height is good enough. I agree with what you just said. Instead of playing those ridiculous roles and plots, it's better to be an idol. At least I can still sing, and I can just play some roles I like in the future. I don't want to stay in the entertainment industry for the rest of my life. I am happy to rely on my youth. At least I have at least 10 years to work hard."

"Well, it's actually good this way. It's good to know what you want. It's also good to have both. You have to make sure that you don't miss anything in the end. It's also good to make money while you are young and do what you like."
