In Hanjiang Park, Yeouido, Seoul, a commercial residential area nearby. Choi Junxiu stood in front of his home and hesitated. He was a little nervous when he thought of facing his grandfather's stern face.

"Choe Junxi, you can do it, fighting!!!" Chooe Junxi took a deep breath and opened the door.

"I'm back! Uh~"

The voice stopped and Choi Junxi was frightened by the atmosphere at home.

The old man was sitting on the sofa in the hall, looking at him with a burning look, with a serious look. However, his greatest guardian, grandma, disappeared.

"Oh, Grandpa, have you been home so early?" Cui Junxi's eyes rolled, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, showing a natural look.

"Okay, show me the contract." Cui Mingxiu didn't know the virtues of her grandson whom she raised, so she quickly cut off the mess before her language fatigue bombing.

"Uh..." Choi Junxiu almost choked by his saliva, and his expression collapsed, "Yes, grandpa."

Choi Junxi took out the contract letter from his shoulder bag and handed it to his grandfather. He felt a pity that since recent times, Choi Mingxiu has never been nagged by his words, making Choi Junxiu more and more proficient in speaking quickly and unable to use her skills.

In the past, in order to exercise Choi Junxi's oral ability, Choi Mingxiu had many "nonsense" conversations with him. But now, she is old and can't stand such fatigue. Choi Mingxiu is clear about her grandson's thoughts and is very satisfied with her grandson's defeat. Boy, Jiang is so hot.

Cui Mingxiu put on reading glasses and carefully looked at the signing contract on her hand.

After a long time, Choi Mingxiu put down the contract, took off her glasses, and rubbed her eyebrows. The contract was no problem. This was a mbc TV artist contract. Although the income share was 8:2, and the contract stated that she could only play mbc TV shows, which seemed to be a slave contract. Because artists wanted to succeed, their exposure rate must be guaranteed. No matter whether they were good or bad, they often appeared in front of the public. This is the basic foundation for the Korean entertainment industry with terrifying star-making speed. The three major Korean TV stations, sbs, kbs, and mbc, suddenly lost two major broadcast platforms. For a newcomer, they could basically say goodbye to success. However, this is not the most important. The most important thing is that the other income share ratio of this contract for artists is 8:2.

Rights, advertising income, etc. are all like this. The income of an artist is definitely not based on the performance fees of the show, but on the additional inputs such as other commercial performance fees and advertising income. Although you, a gagman, cannot be like a real popular idol, this is a minimum thing. When did mbc be so generous? (Don’t you see, Lee Hyo-ri’s advertising income in 2004 was as high as 1 billion won!) What’s even more exaggerated is that the contract time was only 2 years. If other artists saw it, they would probably vomit blood depressedly. In South Korea, the artist’s contract is signed for 7 or 8 years, and the most precious time in the artist’s life was bet on an agency company. If it cannot be successful, then there are many artists who have not lived a very good life in the second half of their life.

In Korea, the trainee system of artists is the world. Many children give up studying in their studies and bet on the stage after their debut. Therefore, many idols do not understand other social survival skills except for various practices. If Choi Junxiu had not been admitted to Sungkyunkwan University, Choi Mingxiu would not have agreed to be an artist.

"What did your Uncle Song Changyou say?" Cui Mingxiu put down her reading glasses and said.

"Yes, Uncle Song said he would arrange for me to debut in Uncle Yoo Jae-suk's "Come and Play" and become a fixed auxiliary to the show." Choi Junxiu answered honestly.

Since the grandson of his close relatives and old friends has decided to take the path of artists, Song Changyou can only consider how to help him. Not to mention hypocrisy, it is just a normal human relationship. The human relationships and worldly ways it contains are not worthy of being told by outsiders.

Cometoplay is a variety show broadcast by MBC every Monday night at 11:00. It is a conversation program that invites celebrities to visit with a relaxed attitude. The program is divided into two parts. The first part is ranking a certain aspect of the guests, such as the most memorable thing in life. The second part is in a comfortable room, like the name of the program, when celebrities come here to visit, everyone opens their hearts to talk, and everyone will reveal some unknown secrets of celebrities in the relaxed conversation. Main mc Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Won-hee, auxiliary mc Park Myung-soo, Lu Hongzhe, and Zhao Hye-ryung.

The program is also a popular project in MBC's variety show category, with good ratings, with an average viewership of about 12%, and has a group of loyal viewers.

The show MC Yoo Jae-suk is Choi Junxi's idol. He is active on the screen with a clear mind, humorous speech and a burden-free hosting style. His outstanding guests' ability to control the show has even praised the artists who have played his show.

Being a fixed auxiliary MC when he debuted does show Song Changyou's role in this matter. Although the main weight of "Come and Play" is on the main MC, and often after an episode, the auxiliary MC has fewer shots, but look at the other three auxiliary MCs, Park Myung-soo, Lu Hongzhe, and Zhao Huilian, which one is not a senior?

Cui Mingxiu thought about it before speaking, "Since you have chosen this path, then go ahead seriously. I don't need to remind you that although I have handed you a lot of compromises over the years, I want to hand you the last lesson of the principles of life. You should always have morals that you adhere to. That is your bottom line as a person, otherwise what is the difference between you and a beast?"

Choi Mingxiu spoke very slowly and seriously. Choi Junxiu knew that the old man was afraid that he would be contaminated by the drunkenness of the entertainment industry, so he also said seriously: "Grandpa, I know that I will stick to what I insist on and will not disappoint you!"

At this time, grandma Park Tae-hee walked out of the kitchen, "Okay, okay, you don't know what kind of Jun-seok is? Since I've finished speaking, let's have a meal? I bought Jun-seok's favorite Korean beef."

"Long live! Grandma, you are the best!" Choi Junxiu shouted immediately.

...

September 16, 2005, mbc TV station, Radio and Television Center Building.

While walking, Kim Sang-min talked to the boy beside him, "I really don't know what you are thinking about. The relationship between the previous generations on TV stations is not impossible even if you want to do a show PDF in the future. But you choose to be an artist or a gagman. The old senior can agree to your nonsense, alas~" and said that, he glared at the boy in anger.

"Yes, yes, I know, I know," Cui Junxi was speechless. "Uncle, you can talk more than me. You have said these words dozens of times. The liquid secretion function in your mouth is so powerful, it's so powerful!" Cui Junxi couldn't stand it because of "destroyed" and decided to fight back.

"Oh, stinky brat." Kim Sang-min was furious.

"This is praise, yes, this is praise, uncle, this is my unique admiration for you. It is praise, praise." Cui Junxiu immediately turned into a "little brother".

"Ah...Western" Kim Sang-min was so amused that he almost endured himself into internal injuries. The boy complained about people's words and his brain was unhappy. He was just cheated and he had to say he was good.

"Uncle, don't think that if you talk apart, it's not a swearing person." Cui Junxiu complained as expected.

Kim Sang-min finally couldn't help it, and raised his hand and was like a chestnut. "Oh..." Choi Jun-seok stared at Kim Sang-min with tears in his eyes.

"Boy, since you have chosen this path, then go well." Kim Sang-min sighed.

"Yes, uncle, I understand, I will work hard." Choi Junxiu said in a low voice, serious and firm.

Kim Sang-min, the exclusive agent of MBC TV station, is a specialty manager of MBC TV station artist. She is a college classmate, a close friend, and has also been a best man for him. So she is naturally very familiar with Choi Jun-seok, and it can be said that she is also an elder who grew up watching Choi Jun-seok grow up.

Kim Sang-min looked at him and nodded with relief. "You are basically familiar with the staff in the station, and I feel relieved about your personality. With the relationship between Senior Choi Ming-soo, even if you occasionally make mistakes, everyone will not take it seriously. But because of this, you cannot relax even more. You must know how to be humble and polite. The entertainment industry is really complicated."

"Uncle, I know, I will work hard," Choi Junxiu said.

Kim Sang-min nodded and said nothing, because he knew Choi Jun-seok's personality and he was very sensible in his work.

"Come and Play" production venue. Kim Sang-min pulled Choi Junxi to visit the program president pd and Jung Ki-suk. "Jung pd, this is a new artist on the TV station. Choi Junxi, please take care of him."

"Hello, Zheng pd, I am a newcomer Choi Junxi, please take care of me." Choi Junxi gave a standard 90-degree salute.

"Oh, you are Choi Junxiu, the grandson of Senior Choi Mingxiu? Young man, are you very energetic? OK, okay." Zheng Jishi specifically mentioned Choi Mingxiu. Zheng Jishi was informed in advance that the upper class would arrange a newcomer from the station to join the program. As the person in charge of the program, he must have an understanding of it. After inquiring, Zheng Jishi said, OK, this guy's relationship is really complicated, and Choi Junxiu usually has a good reputation, so he did not express any objection.

"Yes, pd. I will work hard." Choi Junxiu replied modestly to Zheng Jishi's kindness.

Zheng Jishi nodded, and was indeed very satisfied with Choi Junxi's perception. The young man was very calm and did not take the opportunity to reveal his relationship. Originally, Zheng Jishi didn't have much favoritism for this newcomer who was born. If it weren't for his complicated connections, he would definitely not have a good face for Choi Junxi. After all, Zheng Jishi is also a real-powerful figure in mbc. He holds a program with good ratings in his hand, so he naturally has his pride, but he doesn't have to make tough oppositions that have been decided, and this will not be beneficial to anyone. Choi Junxi's attitude eased the relationship between the two. Since the other party has lowered his attitude, Zheng Jishi naturally would not be ignorant of being a human being.

"These are lines from the show, take a good look." Zheng Jishi handed over a line book, and Choi Junxi glanced at it, there were not many lines on it. But Choi Junxi took it with both hands, "Yes, I will read it seriously, thank you pd."

Kim Sang-min turned to Choi Jun-seok and explained, "Then you can go to the standby room first to prepare."

"Yes, senior." Choi Junxiu left obediently.

Kim Sang-min is the exclusive agent of MBC. He is responsible for many MBC affiliated artists, and naturally has certain power in MBC. However, he is not responsible for specific things, but only the artists are led by his assistant. Today, it is just a statement and a display of his position. Zheng Ji-seok understood it, so he is very polite to Choi Junxi, at least in public. Many things are tacitly understood, and it is meaningless to say them.

Choi Junxi followed the corridor to the door of the standby room, knocked on the people, counted silently for a few seconds before pushing the door in.
