The Rise of Korean Entertainment

"Why do you end up having conflicts with the company? Don't blame the company unilaterally. The company is not a charitable organization. It is for you to make money. If it cannot generate enough additional benefits, continue to stay. I will harm you if I stop you!" Li Xiuman's opening was so direct that a bunch of girls were stunned.

"I won't talk about the relationship in terms of interests. You should have studied this aspect very thoroughly!" Li Xiuman paused here: "But I want to ask you why I have to spend a lot of money to retain some people? Just For example, if BoA is well, Taeyeon and you should be very familiar with each other, why should I take the initiative to give BoA shares in the company instead of you?"

Taking a breath of air again, this question really stopped the girls. At least the girls really haven't thought about this question. After all, in their hearts, Bao'er was their idol, and they should get whatever they want. But since Li Xiuman asked, there must be an answer after all.

Because of fame? This is the most unscientific point. Boa is indeed a well-deserved queen in Japan. It can be said that the girls also borrowed her light at the beginning, but the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. In terms of popularity, girls have never been afraid of anyone. They have really reached the pinnacle of popularity among girl groups so far, and they are the kind with almost no room for improvement.

If it's not fame, then what is it? Can it make money for the company? No matter how you look at it, the ability of girls to attract money is even more terrifying. BoA has passed her peak period. Maybe now Yoona or Seohyun's business ability is enough to compete with her.

So what else? Could it be because Lee Soo Man likes BoA more and regards her as his niece? If this happens, Lee Soon Kyu will have to find a place to cry. Who does this mean to her? Dad picked it up from the trash?

"Or let me put it another way, why did I dare to let Girls' Generation leave when the subsequent girl group did not take the lead?" Lee Soo Man's words solved the mystery, because there is a living scene in Boa Town.

BoA gave Li Xiuman the greatest confidence. It didn’t matter even if the female artists in the company were inactive or had no leading positions. As long as Boa was still in s*m, Li Xiuman would dare to be so decisive. As long as he dared to ask for more benefits, no matter how big the name was. Even artists dare to clean up!

Can girls who compare their hearts to each other do this? In other words, which of the groups of people sitting here can have such a big impact on your company? This is no longer just a matter of popularity, but more about the cooperation and negotiation with the company behind the scenes, including private dealings with others, the impact on the company, and of course a little bit of luck.

For example, if Boa has left, maybe one of the girls may become this character, but now they can only develop in this direction in SW: "Because of the interest relationship, the company is destined to be alienated from you. , in order to prevent this situation, you should make yourself more important to the company, have you made any efforts in this regard?"

One sentence directly shook all the girls present. To be honest, artists are limited by their own experience and rarely have such long-term plans. This is also the reason why they were manipulated by the company at will after their popularity faded.

Why not plan more for your future ten years later when you are at your peak? It can only be said that this is human nature. If every twenty-year-old college student plans in advance for his thirty-year-old career, his future achievements will be limitless.

But the truth is here, how many people can do it? At least girls can't do it comparing themselves to their own. Every year they work so hard that they immediately relax when they have some rest time. There is no time to waste on these aspects.

Of course, children like Xu Xian, whose eyes lit up when listening, are exceptions among exceptions. She really listened and felt enlightened. She couldn't wait to try it, but she just thought about it. It seems that the future of myself ten years later has already been planned.

A popular actress, a member of Girls' Generation, and a young female director who has directed one or two art films. Of course, she can also be a graduate student or something, but who gave herself these identities? Inexplicably, it suits her appetite!

"Doesn't it sound a little cruel? Do you think the company is cold-blooded? There is no emotion?" Isn't this Li Xiuman's explanation to himself: "There is no way, there are hundreds of employees directly under the company, and there are also people who rely on the company to survive. Over ten thousand, they are obviously more important than you, they are the foundation of the company!"

"After you become popular, you want more shares and more resources. From your point of view, it seems natural, but can the company give it to you?" Li Xiuman said with a sneer: "Let's not talk about increasing the share. Can the net income of the group be comparable to that of a new group? Speaking from yourselves, what is your attitude towards your schedule and company after you become famous?"

This is another solid record. To be honest, although the contracts signed by newcomers are all for seven years, as long as they have two or three hit songs, they will have the confidence to challenge the company, so it seems like a bloody and terrifying seven years. Newcomer contracts are often changed in advance around five or even four years.

Of course, the premise is that they have to be popular enough. As for those who are not popular after the seven-year contract, fans should not feel sorry for the idols, because after all, the company will pay even more, even though there is almost no need to pay the artist, just this alone The cost of makeup and hair for this event is a lot of money, so there is not much room to lose money.

As for the troubles with the company after becoming popular, there are more than just a few things, such as asking for better meals, choosing an itinerary, and secretly falling in love. In short, it is difficult for artists and companies to definitely say who is right and who is wrong. They can only look at each other. The running-in.

But in the face of money, brothers will stab each other, so there are only a handful of groups and companies that have a good relationship with each other. They are often small companies with only one or two groups of artists, and the ranks of the groups are generally not high, otherwise it would not be possible. Keep it safe.

The girls also have their own understanding of this point. What is the core reason why they can stay so stable and happy in SW? Having a company boss like Li Menglong as an assistant? A semi-hardcore fan like Lee Eun-hee is the president?

The most fundamental reason is that SW gave them a terrible contract share. SW really doesn't make money on them. What they said at the beginning was that they value the fans and influence they bring. To a certain extent, they want to build them up. Let’s become SW’s treasure.

But even Li Menglong himself doesn’t know if this will happen again, because seriously speaking, once a second group signs this kind of contract, it means SW will lose money. After all, a group of top artists are involved in the company. The overall energy should not be too much. These human, material resources and even the company's influence are considered costs.

Maybe the best way at that time is to let go. Of course, these things are still far away from SW, so the girls don't have to worry, but other people at the scene listened very seriously, especially Zheng who didn't leave. Grace, she felt that it was worth it to be deceived. Otherwise, where else could she hear this? It would obviously not be broadcast on TV, otherwise Li Xiuman would not be able to tell the truth.

Li Xiuman did not wait until six o'clock in the evening to leave. After all, it was a great honor for him to come over. Of course, his willingness to accept the invitation was not entirely because of Li Menglong. Although Li Menglong already had some status, Li Xiuman was not afraid.

He came here because he felt that he owed the girls something. Don't think that his heart is naturally cold. It's just that he has to be like this in this position. If he puts too much personal feelings into it, he won't be able to bear it when they say goodbye.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the girls congratulated Li Xiuman and walked out together. Especially the girls were all sincere. Although they were still a little dirty with the company, they could at least let go a little. At least they were not there now. Spread your wings and fly high.

But after coming in again, everyone realized that although they had gained a lot today, what would be the basis for ranking tomorrow? This is a major matter related to their quality of life throughout the day, but they don't dare to be careless.

"Of course you have to write down your thoughts after listening to the lectures. Each person should write down their thoughts and feelings in a thousand words. It is best to hit the real point and have real feelings. Tomorrow, someone will be looking for someone to read it. You have to be attentive!" said Director Luo! After that, I irresponsibly left work. Anyway, there would be nothing to do later, as long as there were staff filming.

The girls all showed bitter smiles now. They were not afraid of hard work or sweating, but they were a little afraid of learning, especially this kind of experience that limited the minimum number of words. They would not be able to get through this thousand words. Life.

Only when the tide recedes do you know who is swimming naked. Now is the time for the girls to be exposed collectively. As one of the representatives of the second-generation girl group and even the entire entertainment industry, Seohyun said that these thousand words are childish. There are more than just writing down some future plans.

And some people who can keep up with the pace of learning and are pursuing careers as actors and lyricists can still persevere. After all, the script requires memorizing a lot of lines every time. At least they have memorized many phrases in their minds.

An exception is Jessica Jung. Because she may read a lot of reports on weekdays, she is very good at some official false talk, so she is also full of confidence.

The hardest part is that people like Lee Soon Kyu and Hyo Min haven't touched a pen in I don't know how many years. If they are asked to play games, one is as good as ten, but now their brains are frozen, and they can't even speak. Bar.

You still have to write no matter what, but you can spend money to decorate it before writing. Is it possible to just lie down on the cement floor and write? So the floor mats designed by Lee Soon Kyu were purchased. They were the ones with cartoon characters on them. The small room looked very cozy.

More than a dozen girls are all crowded here. On the one hand, there are more people and it is more lively. On the other hand, the indescribable reason is that you can plagiarize. It doesn't matter if you look at what others have written and you can find inspiration for yourself.

"Xiao Xian, can you help Oni figure out how to write the next paragraph appropriately?" Li Shungui came over again with a shy old face. As for the jealous looks of Xiaomin and others, she couldn't control it.

Sure enough, what her uncle said still makes sense, you need to have foresight! Lee Soon Kyu specially trained Seohyun, a top student, just for today. How can they be like Hyomin and others who don’t do serious work? Now they are caught blind, right? Deserve it!

As for Seohyun herself, she couldn't laugh anymore. It would be fine if there was only Lee Soon-gyu, but the unnies who couldn't stand her were all coming here, making Seohyun want to find the staff to report it. When the time comes, the girl Is it appropriate that the experiences of all nine people in the era are exactly the same?

"It's suitable! Don't be too suitable!" Lee Soon Kyu directly patted his thigh and said excitedly: "This proves that the nine of us in Girls' Generation are one and the same, and have perfect tacit understanding with each other. Everything we hear and think about is incomparable. It's like nine. Twin sisters!"

This shameless statement completely disgusted everyone at the scene. Even Lee Soon Kyu's little wife Hyo Min couldn't help it. Can she even come up with this excuse? And seeing what she means, she expects everyone to believe her, is she treating everyone's IQ as just a decoration?

A good suggestion was rejected by the collective look of contempt. Li Shunkyu said that she was also helpless. Why can't these people be a little more accommodating? Even her own people are so strict, how can they fool the staff?

Just when the girls had a headache, Li Menglong didn't get much better. If he had known it, he would have said that his stomachache was cured. Now it is not appropriate to run away. Although he is half the company's manager, he really didn't expect that the company's current There are so many things going on, and the conference materials that have been handed out alone are already thick. When will this be held?

"I asked you to come here just to talk. Why are you pretending to be here? The company must make a movie this year, even if no one is watching, otherwise the market we have finally opened up will shrink!" Li Enxi patted the table domineeringly, Signaling everyone to see her determination.

Li Menglong was also helpless. What could he say if he was asked to speak? She, Li Enxi, has already made up her mind, is it possible that she wants to go against her? As for singing praises, Li Menglong couldn't do it. After all, he was born with such pride!

"Well said, everyone should unite closely around Li Enxi. Her decision-making is the direction we are going to move forward. Everyone applauds!" Li Menglong said this most loudly after he arrived. After all, flattery must be heard, otherwise What's the point?

Li Enxi was obviously satisfied with his performance. It was estimated that he could have some peace and quiet for half an hour. To be honest, he felt that the company would run better without him. In this case, everyone should be well. He came over to eat. Wouldn't it be enough to order fried chicken with a little bit of it mixed in?

It's just that although he can hide from the company's management level, he is still the most famous person in SW Company at the director level, so this matter cannot be separated from him. Everyone is forcing him to come up with specific details. Shooting plan.

Li Menglong is really not being hypocritical. If there is any, he will show it. After all, so many people believe in him, but now he doesn't have it. He can't show it even if he is forced to death. He still doesn't believe it. Li Menglong's character is good. Is it so bad?
