The system makes me rich and versatile

Chapter 600: Idol, it’s not as simple as you think
After Zhang Junyi arrived at the agreed coffee shop, he met Zhu Minxi and the store owner, her former teammates.The two of them were talking and laughing while drinking coffee. The coffee shop was particularly deserted today, with only a few people sitting in the coffee shop to rest.

When Zhang Junyi appeared wearing a black mask, Zhu Minxi looked at Zhang Junyi's iconic textured permed wool roll, and she waved to Zhang Junyi.Zhang Junyi walked directly in the direction of the two of them. Zhu Minxi and An Songyi had completely different concepts.

An Songyi was born in 2000. At this time, she was 20 years old and still had a girlish air.Zhu Minxi was born in [-] and is about to enter her thirties, so she has a more mature flavor. After meeting Zhang Junyi, she did not act nervous like An Songyi, but was very relaxed. state.

After Zhang Junyi sat down, Zhu Minxi said: "What would you like to drink? The boss happens to be here, so just say it. The boss is also my former teammate."

Zhang Junyi smiled politely and nodded at the boss: "Hello, just give me a glass of lemon and honey water, because I just drank coffee not long ago." As he said this, Zhang Junyi was about to touch his wallet.

The boss said with a smile: "I'll buy you a drink, please wait a moment."

Zhang Junyi nodded to the boss and said, "Thank you!"

When the boss went to prepare drinks for Zhang Junyi, Zhu Minxi looked at Zhang Junyi and said, "I was really surprised when I found out yesterday that it was you who came to my live broadcast room."

Zhang Junyi said easily: "Is there any surprise? Aren't live broadcasts just for everyone to spend their leisure time? It's the same thing after watching those live broadcasts of games, or watching singing and dancing. Anyway, it's all to kill time, isn't it? Is it? And since everyone is at home and can’t go out recently, live broadcasting should be pretty good lately, right?"

Zhu Minxi shook her head and said: "It would be great if it were like this. Although there may have been more people watching recently, there have been fewer people giving rewards. The recent situation is so serious that it has led to many bankruptcies. , unemployed, so no one has any extra money to reward us anchors.”

At this time, the store owner came over with the drinks Zhang Junyi asked for. Zhang Junyi thanked him and looked at the store. The whole place was relatively spacious and the decoration style was quite good.

So Zhang Junyi asked casually: "How is business lately?"

The store owner said: "It has been two losses in a row. Before that problem, this place was pretty good and there were more people. But after the incident broke out... the number of people coming has dropped a lot, mainly because the rent here is relatively expensive!" ! If this continues, I wonder how many more months I can hold on?"

Indeed, because her store is rented in a prosperous area in Itaewon, and it occupies a relatively large area.Although there are foreigners living around, and everyone has the habit of drinking coffee, the problem is that people from many countries have ordered those in Seoul to return home as soon as possible.

She could still make money here before, but now she has been losing money for two months in a row, but for now she has to persevere!

"Business has been difficult recently. When I came here, I saw that there were many stores around with advertisements for rent." Zhang Junyi's situation not only happened in Seoul, but also in Tokyo, Shanghai, Yanjing and other major cities. Things like this are happening in the city.

This is especially true for individual small businesses, which have been greatly affected by this incident. Especially those stores that open stores in prosperous areas, the monthly rent is hundreds of thousands, and even the monthly rent for larger houses is based on [-]. Counted in millions.

The boss said with a smile: "There is no way. I have only paid half a year's rent. Even if it is a loss, I have to get through this half year. After all, it is impossible for the property owner to refund the rent. Okay, you guys talk, I I won’t bother you anymore.”

After the boss left, he gave the space here to Zhang Junyi and Zhu Minxi.

After Zhang Junyi took off his mask and took two sips of the drink, he said directly to Zhu Minxi: "I don't know if you have time recently. I plan to shoot a video similar to an interview. It will mainly talk about some things in the industry. , it can also be said to complain about the darkness in some circles. If you really don’t want to talk about the past, forget it. Of course, I won’t say anything about performing for free in such a show. I can offer you a performance fee of 2000 million!”

Zhu Minxi's answer was much more straightforward: "Okay, I agreed. Anyway, I have time recently, so I will cooperate with your shooting."

Seeing Zhu Minxi's cheerfulness, Zhang Junyi thought for a while and said: "Actually, it's just a simple shooting method similar to chatting. How about tomorrow afternoon? After the shooting, you can even go back to live broadcast." Okay, let’s decide tomorrow afternoon.”

In this way, Zhang Junyi managed two idol anchors in one day.In fact, Zhu Minxi is also very topical. After all, the MV of their group was banned from being broadcast by major TV stations in South Korea.

After returning home that day, Zhang Junyi followed Taeyeon's idea and wrote something like a script. He wrote down all the things he wanted to ask in it for the next day's shooting.

For the shooting on the second afternoon, no one was called for help this time. The venue was already in Zhang Junyi’s restaurant...just two comfortable seats, and then three cameras were set up to face the seats.

Before preparing for the shooting, Zhang Junyi placed two cups of coffee until two o'clock in the afternoon. Zhu Minxi, who put on beautiful makeup today, came to Zhang Junyi's restaurant.After she entered the restaurant, she curiously looked at the layout of the restaurant.
Zhu Minxi looked at the layout of the restaurant and said with emotion: "Suiyuan Restaurant, this is one of the most recommended restaurants in Seoul. It's a pity that I haven't had the opportunity to eat there!"

Zhang Junyi invited Zhu Minxi to come to the camera: "Sit down, let's just have a casual chat today."

"Ok."

After Zhu Minxi sat down, Zhang Junyi said to the camera with a close-up: "Hello everyone, I am your Neptune Emperor, Zhang Junyi. I can't go out recently, so I thought of doing something about idols. The topic, of course, is not the invited very successful idols to talk about their success stories, but the former idols, now disbanded girl groups! Let’s explore the unknown behind the scenes together. The people who are chatting with me today It’s... Stellar, Zhu Minxi!!”

During editing, some introductions about their girl group, past scenes, etc. were added here.It was 11 years since their debut and 17 years after their disbandment!
Zhu Minxi pointed to the camera, and when Zhang Junyi nodded, she bowed slightly to the camera and introduced herself: "Hello everyone, I am Zhu Minxi, and I used to belong to the girl group Stellar!"

After her introduction, Zhang Junyi asked: "Girl groups, the first thing everyone cares about is their glamorous image on stage. Do you have anything to say about girl groups?"

When talking about the word girl group, Zhu Minxi showed a helpless smile on her face: "Girl group, the word "girl group" doesn't impress me that much. Maybe it's because we were born in a small company. , which is definitely incomparable with those big companies.”

Zhu Minxi began to recall her time in a girl group. She said: "Although we are a girl group in a small company, it is not easy to become a girl group. Because we debuted very early, we are all very young. So every time we face the camera, what we have to do and what we have to say are all arranged. And we must obey this arrangement!"

Zhang Junyi continued what Zhu Minxi said: "The company arranges what you say and do. This is equivalent to the company shaping an image of 'you' to the audience? Can you understand it this way?"

"Yes, this is a kind of screen image creation! At that time, for my so-called dream, I had to obey this arrangement! And at that time, my skin was a bit dark, so I had to make myself fairer, It’s almost like not letting your skin see the sun.”

Zhang Junyi nodded and joined the topic and said: "They say the old enemy of girl groups is to lose weight. Have you ever had such an experience?"

When recalling the weight loss period of the girl group, it was simply a nightmare: "Of course, because around 11 years after our debut, it was the hottest period for girl groups. During that period, dozens of new girl groups debuted. So before that , our goal after becoming trainees is to lose weight, and our managers will come to monitor our weight every day. If you are a little fatter than what was recorded yesterday, then a scolding will definitely be inevitable."

Zhu Minxi continued: "That period can be said to be the time when we grow physically. After all, we are only in our teens. We get hungry quickly and eat a lot. In order to lose weight at that time, I even developed an eating disorder! At that time, all the girl group members I knew basically said the same thing, 'You didn't eat today, and I didn't eat either!'"

"During that period, the most common phrase among our girl group members was 'I'm going to use this diet.' 'I'm losing weight this way.' 'I don't eat anything, I only drink water.' I still clearly remember that after we formed a group, our daily food was only 150 grams of chicken breast, [-] grams of vegetables, and [-] grams of fruits. A total of [-] grams, but this was our daily allowance Got it!"

"And this was not just the case for our girl group, it was the situation for all girl groups at that time!! Looking back now, it's really scary, because we were ruining our bodies and overdrafting them at the time when our bodies needed nutrition the most. Various functions!!”
