Korean Entertainment's Survival War

Xu Minghe admits that in this situation where the capitalists are intriguing, artists who are at best pawns can play very little role, but he still wants to try to struggle, if there is room to struggle.

The game between CJ and non-CJ capital is not over yet. The primary purpose of the capital involved in this matter is to severely damage CJ and end the produce series.It is also one of the goals to get rid of X1, a group whose starting point is too high, and it is likely to take the lead in the battle between EXO and BTS after enlisting in the boy group.Right now, various TV stations say that "it is inconvenient to invite controversial artists", and it is uncertain whether they will dig out or simply make up black material in the future.Xu Minghe, who still wants to keep X1, dare not express anything publicly, such as discussing the boundaries of idol obligations.

But the disbandment of IZONE and X1 is unlikely to be a direct result of hi. Although most people are paying attention to artists, it is still not a point of view that can be said openly to make idols responsible for CJ's deception of the people. Whether X1 will survive or not will be decided by CJ, and CJ will say it, so Xu Minghe has room for speculation and speculation.

He started to run towards the swing.

The legitimate reason is that fans have sent gifts to the company, and he has to go to the company to collect them.Accompanied by some small movements, it will not appear very conspicuous.

More than half of December has passed, and there are still no obvious changes. It is confirmed that the first and second seasons are also faked, and the member lists of IZONE and X12 are all determined before the finals. Now It's not big news anymore.Xu Minghe also had no way to infer the turbulent undercurrent from the information on the bright side.

——He secretly turned on some system hangs, and confirmed that CJ had also been divided into two factions on this matter.The latter problem cannot be solved by hacking. There are countless stakeholders in the game, many of whom are not representing personal interests. The function of "brainwashing" is extremely expensive in the system. Xu Minghe is now the president of the United States That attention is worth it.

So forget it, he is not the President of the United States.

Xu Minghe had just finished counting the gifts when a staff member came over: "The representative is looking for you."

Well, it saves the brain cells that Xu Minghe would have to consume to find a way to "take the initiative".

Xu Minghe went to the office of Swing's representative director Shen Dongji, but found another person he knew inside. "Representative Shen," Xu Minghe bowed to greet, "Director Zhao."

"It will be reversed soon, Director Shin and Representative Zhao," Shin Dong-gil said, "The company's personnel adjustment has little to do with you, so don't worry about it."

If you say you don’t need it, you don’t need it, Xu Minghe was silent, not surprised, because that “Director Zhao” wasn’t originally Shin Dong-gil’s subordinate, his full name was Zhao Youming, and he was in charge of YMC under the name of producer He is the eldest son of Tae Jin Er, the super senior among the entertainers, and Swing is a subsidiary of YMC.

Although Tae Jin Ah is an artist at the Yuanzu level, he does not have many artistic pursuits. He started to use his contacts and qualifications to fight for power and money very early. Besides, he also has a little traditional sense of growing a family. YMC is operating IOI included a song by his other son, the singer Eru, because the quality was not good, YMC said "have no selfishness", and was scolded by fans for a while.

Therefore, even if Zhao Youming is just an ordinary employee, Xu Minghe will not ignore him.

Zhao Youming followed Shin Dongji's words and took the lead in the conversation: "I listened to the song you wrote for X1, very talented."

Xu Minghe thanked him.

Zhao Youming continued: "It seems that the terms of the contract prepared for you can be changed in terms of creation."

Even if Xu Minghe knew that what Zhao Youming hinted was to change for the better, he couldn't thank him directly. He raised his head: "Now?"

His reaction was actually within Zhao Youming's expectation, but Zhao Youming was obviously calm: "Are you worried?"

"Will there be news like 'Xu Minghe signed an exclusive contract with Swing'?"

When Xu Minghe said this, his expression was a little nervous, but this was all Zhao Youming could think of, "Oh, worry about this," he said, "I also hope that there will be a clause about your share during X1 in the contract , you also have the same idea, that's the best."

Xu Minghe didn't know what to say, so he continued to sit quietly, while Zhao Youming paused for a moment, and then changed the topic: "But I'm not hiding it from you, the situation is not very good now, there may be something you need to do."

"What's the matter?" Xu Minghe asked.

"Can you represent X1 and face other representatives?" Zhao Youming asked.

What's the matter, have a meeting?Xu Minghe thought, but what came out of his mouth was: "I am willing, but... am I qualified?"

The importance of the center is infinitely exaggerated because of the good work of the "produce101" series. The real situation is that the center cannot represent a group, and the captain is the person who has done this work since ancient times.

"It depends on whether the other person will give up his qualifications. When I approached you, some brokerage companies may have already approached him."

Zhao Youming said meaningfully.

Xu Minghe once thought about the fact that Swing did not sign X1 when he debuted, but the reason why X1 debuted without signing a contract has been clarified, it is to facilitate CJ to cut and give up in time, not to be busy making the debut a foregone conclusion. After neglecting it, it is not difficult to explain Swing's actions.At that time, Xu Minghe was just a young artist who had just left the competition and was busy preparing for his debut. The information he could get was limited and he didn't have that much energy, so he didn't know much, but most of the capitalists who participated in this game understood Whatever CJ wants to do, he must be unhappy with what CJ does. If Swing signed a contract with Xu Minghe, it would be difficult to explain to the other members' management companies: What, you have time to sign a contract with Xu Minghe, but you don't have time to sign with X1?Not to mention that signing Xu Minghe will inevitably involve the issue of his share during X1 activities.

For the greater benefit of CJ, Swing had to suspend the action of bringing Xu Minghe under its command, but obviously, they were still determined to win Xu Minghe.As for X1, Swing wants to maintain this cash cow that can theoretically be used for five years, but the actual situation is not optimistic, so that Zhao Youming began to try to squeeze Xu Minghe's use value.

Xu Minghe could see that Zhao Youming wanted to use him, and he could also feel that Zhao Youming, who was still very dignified in front of him, was actually powerless when it came to X1.

Just use it, he wants to do something too.

But no matter what he wants to do, there is one person who cannot be bypassed, the captain of X1, Han Shengyu.During this period of time, Xu Minghe had more or less heart-to-heart conversations with every member, but he kept a distance from Han Shengyu.It wasn't because Xu Minghe and Han Shengyu had a bad relationship, nor did he find out that Han Shengyu had any character problems, but as the captain of Victon, he also had a brokerage company that wanted to promote and emphasize Victon's group spirit early on. Personal wishes are still forced by the situation. At present, Han Shengyu is the most unreliable position on the issue of maintaining X1.

Xu Minghe knew that Han Shengyu had his difficulties, and he was not curious about Han Shengyu's real attitude. Even if he knew about that kind of thing, it would not bring about any change. Besides, the relationship between members of the limited group did not need to be tested by this kind of crisis.

But things are different now.

The problem is that when he left Swing, Zhao Youming specifically told him not to be unreserved towards Han Shengyu, and Han Shengyu would pass it on to his agency.So what to say?

How about treating Zhao Youming's plan as his own, anyway, his current image is already crazy.

After Xu Minghe finished his draft, he knocked on Han Shengyu's door.

Regarding his visit, Han Shengyu put on a dignified expression after the initial surprise.Ever since Ahn Joon Young admitted to cheating in November, and X1’s activities have stagnated, his prestige in the group has declined. Previously, as an idol group, Han Seung Woo was undoubtedly very reliable, but when the fake news broke out, CJ and When the members' respective management companies have their own ulterior motives, not only Xu Minghe has doubts about Han Shengyu's position in the crisis, but for Han Shengyu himself, it is also against his personal interests to fight for X1 in such a crisis, so Han Shengyu remained silent, and stopped commanding the members when it was not necessary. The members had nothing to let the captain know, and they would not take the initiative to find Han Shengyu. This was a tacit understanding among teammates to some extent.

So when he saw Xu Minghe coming, he could intuitively feel that nothing good happened.

"Brother Shengyu, I want to ask one thing."

"speak."

"Can I represent X1?"

Even when he was serious, Han Shengyu, who seemed kind and non-aggressive, suddenly turned fierce, and his sharp sword-like eyes directly stabbed Xu Minghe.

"What did you hear?" Han Shengyu asked.

Xu Minghe wants to hide Han Shengyu, connect with other teammates in private, and finally make a sudden attack, just like "force the palace", it is actually impossible and unnecessary. In this matter, Han Shengyu is only slightly less reliable and difficult to be regarded as an ally But not their enemies.However, what Zhao Youming said was so obvious that Xu Minghe, who was not good at intrigue, dared not go against it directly, nor could he think of any clever solution. He couldn't see it, and if he saw it, whether he would report to his brokerage company in the future was not Xu Minghe's business.

Now it seems that Han Shengyu is more or less aware of it.

"I've heard... bad news."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Do something that is 90.00% useless and [-]% regretful if you don't."

Xu Minghe thought he was not emotional when he spoke, but Han Shengyu just glanced at him lightly, "Aren't you reconciled, I understand," he said, "Yes, but I want to make sure that you took everything into consideration before acting , no matter what you do on behalf of X1, public or private, if X1 cannot continue, it will become your personal behavior, you know?"

"know."

"CJ is leading the agency to give up, you know?"
