The next day, Li Shenglin and Luo Bo officially signed the agency contract at "Lin Shengmin Credit Co., Ltd." As for the content, it was something they didn't quite understand, so they just ignored it...
Luo Bo never thought he would become a talent agent for a free artist one day. "How should I address you? Boss? Or Shenglin?"
"Calling me Shenglin is fine. I'll call you Big Brother Luo. However, there are very few people with the surname Luo in Korea, and even fewer with two-character names, so it feels a bit awkward to call you that!"
Luo Bo said indifferently, "That's natural, because my father is from China. Although I grew up in Korea and have Korean citizenship, my name is more Chinese!"
"Really?" Li Shenglin was a bit excited, after all, he was someone with a Chinese heart... In his excitement, he used Chinese...
"Of course, do you speak Chinese?" Luo Bo hadn't spoken Chinese much since his father passed away, so he spoke it haltingly.
Li Shenglin couldn't say that he was Chinese in his previous life, "Yeah, I really like Chinese culture. My father taught me a bit when I was young, and now I'm studying Chinese in university!"
Luo Bo couldn't help but marvel, "Your Chinese is really good, much better than mine!" Since he liked being an agent, he naturally hoped his artists would become famous, and knowing a foreign language was definitely an advantage.
Speaking of which, Luo Bo was quite satisfied with Li Shenglin's appearance and creative talent. The only thing he wasn't satisfied with was his debut through a variety show. Although the status of variety shows in Korea had improved in recent years, the identity barrier still existed.
It wouldn't be easy to shake off the variety show label in the future, but fortunately, for some reason, he had appeared in a TV drama before, so he could also be considered to have debuted as an actor...
"Hehe, just so-so!" Li Shenglin saw that the other party's Chinese was also just so-so, so he decided to speak in Korean...
Luo Bo was a very responsible person. He had carefully checked Li Shenglin's background last night, so now he was in a professional state, "Actually, you don't need an agent right now, as Minya said, you need a nanny more. So, besides taking care of the child, I don't have much else to do recently, but I still need to talk to you about your current and future development.
Let's start with the present. For an outsider to start in the entertainment industry with 'Infinite Challenge,' no matter what the reason, you are lucky. Although it may affect your other developments in the future, overall, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
As an artist, you can't do without popularity. This surprised me. An artist who hasn't debuted yet already has two relatively solid fan bases: one is the audience of 'Infinite Challenge,' and the other, I have to praise you, is the fans of a girl group. That's not easy!"
Li Shenglin was very puzzled, "I've seen the fans of that 'win-win CP.' I'm really speechless. I don't have much to do with Seungyeon, and there aren't many of them, either?"
Luo Bo looked at Li Shenglin confidently, "My personality isn't really suited for the entertainment industry, I know. But after all these years, I can't just rely on luck, right?
At least, I have confidence in my eyes. Because of you, I also paid attention to the group called KARA. Although they aren't very popular now, the members are talented, and the company has a good foundation. They have just reformed, and with your unintentional help, I can guarantee that this group will become famous within two years!
At that time, the current hardcore fans will become the management of the fan club. As long as you don't do anything that angers the heavens, just the rise of KARA will lead to an explosive increase in your popularity..."
Li Shenglin was stunned, "What's this? Do I have to rely on a rumor to rise?"
"Hey, Big Brother Luo, do you think I can become famous before KARA?" Li Shenglin felt a bit shameless asking this...
"Yes!"
"Really?"
"By sheer luck!" Luo Bo looked at the somewhat disappointed Li Shenglin, "You need to be down-to-earth. Take one step at a time, eat one bite at a time! A pie may fall from the sky, but it might not hit you! Besides, your starting point is already high, and you have good connections, knowing national MC Liu Zaishi and others. What more do you have to be dissatisfied with?"
Yes, Li Shenglin knew he was being a bit impatient. It might be because Li Seung-gi was currently looking down on him from a high place. But Big Brother Luo was right; as long as he took one step at a time, he would definitely climb higher!
"I understand!" Li Shenglin said firmly, "What should I do from now on?"
"You can't be an idol. Not only because of Xiao Hu Hu, but also because the nightclub fight incident will ruin your career if it ever comes to light!" As he said this, Luo Bo looked at Li Shenglin strangely, as if to say, "I didn't expect you to be like this..."
Li Shenglin was shocked, "You know about that?"
Luo Bo nodded, "I had to know why the artist I'm responsible for isn't a trainee at YG, right? After all, you have a good image and creative talent! I had to ask around!"
Li Shenglin was stunned, "What did you do all night? But this also gave him a direct understanding of Luo Bo's connections...
"So, you will basically have to take the path of an actor. You're not suited to a purely variety show route; it would be a waste of your talent! No matter what you do in the future, the fight incident will come to light when you become famous. You need to be mentally prepared for that, but the impact won't be as great as if you were an idol."
Brother Liu also said this, "But how can I become an actor?" Li Shenglin was headache, he didn't have the chance to act...
Luo Bo looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Did you hire me just to take care of the child?"
Li Shenglin thought, at first, he really had that intention... Now, not so much... After all, Luo Bo's performance was too impressive...
What kind of artist did he end up with? Why did this person want to mix in the entertainment industry? Luo Bo was helpless, "Just focus on filming 'Infinite Challenge.' Although variety shows aren't acting, there is still a performance aspect. I'll watch your acting.
Then I'll find you some small roles, extras, and the like!"
Li Shenglin knew that it wasn't realistic for a new actor to play a major role, but who doesn't have the heart of a lead actor...
Luo Bo felt he wasn't there to be an agent but a nanny. Not only did he need to take care of Xiao Hu Hu, but also this immature father, "Be content. At least with my connections, you won't need to audition for these small roles and extras!"
Li Shenglin was very satisfied with this agent, feeling like he had found a treasure...
