The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Li Menglong felt cold while driving. He had already begun to estimate his income in the past two years. Although he did not pay attention to it all the time, he still had some estimates. After all, Li Enxi had to report his income at the end of each year. Li Menglong and Li Shungui The major shareholders should be treated with caution, and they are still expected to put their money in the company.

In fact, seriously speaking, it is unfair to the two of them. After all, this is not a small amount of money. Whether it is investment funds or real estate, or even directly deposited in the bank to earn interest, it is a good choice.

But in SW, there is no such good treatment. Not to mention interest and so on. The most is to guarantee that you will not lose money. Once you make money, it will be counted on the company's head, which can be said to be thankless. things.

But neither Lee Mongryong nor Lee Soonkyu have any opinions on this matter. Lee Mongryong doesn't care at all, while Lee Soonkyu thinks that the company can develop well. Besides, she also makes a lot of money as a member of Girls' Generation every year, which is enough for both of them. An expense.

The specific source of Li Menglong's money is not very complicated. One of the larger items is the year-end dividend as a shareholder of the company. With the smooth sailing of SW Company in the past few years, the income has reached a relatively abnormal level. At least Li Menglong I think it's a bit exaggerated.

But even this amount of money only accounts for half of Li Menglong's income at most, maybe less than that. This depends on Li Menglong's personal ability to attract money. Li Menglong has at least one work every year, either a movie or a TV series. Undoubtedly He is a very prolific director.

In fact, in terms of director's income alone, Li Menglong is still average. The income of the entire directing industry cannot be compared with that of celebrities. Logically speaking, it should be incomparable with the company's dividends, but I can't stand it. Li Menglong is not an ordinary director!

Li Menglong's works are often directed and written by both directors and producers, and even though his original intention is to better transform his ideas into pictures, as a result, his income is It more than doubled.

And this money is not the end point. Whether it is to share risks or to reward Li Menglong, in short, Li Menglong’s works include the director and writer’s fees in the investment. Although the proportion is not high, it can Get the overall dividend for the entire project!

This is a bit scary, because this is often a contract that only the top artists can get, and it is mostly due to financial considerations. Otherwise, no company will be willing to offer this condition, especially for works with a high probability of success. For example, Li Menglong’s works!

This dividend is not only the one-size-fits-all price for TV stations or movie theaters, but also includes subsequent copyrights, peripherals, replay fees, etc. In South Korea, a country with relatively complete copyright protection, it can even be said that this work will continue to receive praise for decades. payment.

Therefore, while maintaining the success rate, Li Menglong continued to receive dividends from his works. This money added together is another major part of his income. Together with the company's year-end dividends, it constitutes his main income. .

There are also other miscellaneous things, such as dividends from fried chicken restaurants, and income from occasionally participating in some variety shows. In fact, this money is quite a lot, but the above ones are too scary, so they are not very conspicuous!

You must know that Li Menglong's variety show effect is quite good, and he is often dragged along by Liu Zaishi when he appears on the show. Coupled with his own identity, the price has really gone up. Although it is not comparable to Liu Zaishi, it has already The fee has reached the second level in the industry. You must know that variety shows rarely give such high prices to guests.

It's just that almost none of the above money falls into Li Menglong's hands. The most he can do is look at the numbers. On the contrary, the only income he can receive and have at his disposal is the assistant salary paid by Li Soonkyu every month.

And I want to emphasize that Lee Soon Kyu is shameless and increases his salary at a rate of 100% every year. It is said to be a relatively terrifying increase in the industry. How can other bosses be so generous?

But doesn't she want to see the effect of Li Menglong's work? Not to mention the rest of the work, the assistant himself, Li Menglong, also did a very good job. If someone else succeeds in poaching Li Shunkyu, he will cry, but no one has done this until now.

In the beginning, his reputation was not good, so no one came to poach him. Later, after his abilities were shown, he was given a lot of money. Lee Soon Kyu not only joined in, but also got him a company to work with him. What better conditions could the other party offer? ?

Therefore, Li Menglong could only hang himself on the crooked tree of girls. No matter how horrible the remarks he heard, he had to endure it. For example, these girls now seem to have a quota of 100 million each. They could no longer satisfy them, so they made various insinuations to inquire about Li Menglong's savings.

Li Menglong naturally kept silent, but the girls did not give up. After all, in terms of understanding of income alone, Li Menglong may not be able to compare with Li Soonkyu. She was Li Menglong's housekeeper, so the girls began to focus on Lee Soonkyu.

No matter how big-hearted Lee Soon-kyu is, he can't reveal this figure. Spending one billion is barely acceptable, but if it's all spent, it won't be possible. Lee Soon-kyu will still keep this money for retirement in the future, just in case. What should I do if Li Menglong doesn't want her anymore when she's old and golden? Although the possibility is not high, you still have to be on guard!

While they were having fun, the car suddenly stopped, and it was a sudden stop. The girls were unprepared and staggered like bowling balls. The only one who could still sit still was Xu Xian, not her. Li Menglong's conspiracy was discovered in advance, but she was wearing a seat belt!

"Ah, Li Menglong, do you want to make money and kill yourself? Do you think you can get away with the money you owe us? In your dreams, even if you go to the underworld, we will get the money back!" Kim Taeyeon The girls made declarations from behind, as if they would depend on Li Menglong for the rest of their lives!

Xu Xian looked at Li Menglong pitifully from the side. Although the girls helped a lot in the whole thing, the most important money was paid by Li Menglong himself. The girls were just helping to run errands. Now It’s really a bit too crazy!

But Li Menglong couldn't say anything yet. The kindness of one billion yuan must be repaid no matter what. He is numbing himself like this now. Don't think that the money is his own. The more he thinks about it, the more he feels aggrieved. .

So I tried my best to adjust my expression and showed what I thought was a warm smile: "In order to express Xiaoke's gratitude to these beautiful ladies, can you please allow me to treat them to lunch? It's almost time. You guys just It’s so tiring, it makes me feel bad just looking at it!”

The girls looked at each other. This was obviously playing hard to get. Is it too naive to stop the girls' mouths with a lunch so that they can't say anything later? Were their mouths blocked so easily when they were girls?

Without giving Li Menglong a chance to speak again, the girls immediately filed out. They just ate first anyway. However, they were stunned for a few seconds after they got off. Then they turned around and tried to open the car door before getting in, but Li Menglong would give them Is this a chance?

Slowly but firmly stepping on the car door, the girls ran for dozens of meters with the car door open. In the end, they were tired, and secondly, someone around them recognized them. In order not to be embarrassed anymore, they had to endure it. But looking at the sign in front of them, they really didn't want to go in!

Girls are really not the kind of people who are rich in money. Even if they have made a lot of money in the past two years and have eaten a lot of delicacies, they will still eat the most common seaweed rolls and fried noodles. They will never. What kind of picky mood does she have? She is not a rich girl!

But now facing this noodle shop, they really couldn't bear to go in. They spent a billion to clear up Li Menglong's trouble, but the first meal he thanked was chosen here? Is this a set meal of 5,000 yuan given to each person? It's too casual. How sincere is the promise?

Xu Xian still didn't understand what was going on. She only realized it when she and Li Menglong walked to the door. No wonder they wanted to get in the car. She couldn't stand it. Fortunately, she knew It's an inside story, so he looked around and whispered: "Oppa, just try to coax them. In other words, Ernie, I won't really spend that much money on you!"

Xu Xian said very confidently, after all, they have been sisters for so many years, and they still don’t know them well. They are just trying to scare Li Menglong. If they really have to spend so much, they will be embarrassed. It’s not that they don’t make money, it’s just talk.

When it comes to understanding girls, Li Menglong is not much better than Xu Xian, so he also knows that Xu Xian is right. Although girls with 100 million won't attack, but with their big faces, they can still do it with 10 million each. out.

For Li Menglong, is there any essential difference between one billion and one hundred million? It still hurts, so now is the time to battle wits and courage to see if these people can pluck a few hairs from his iron cock!

Not seeing the girls outside, Li Menglong and Xu Xian strolled in. This restaurant is just the most ordinary Chinese restaurant on the roadside. Li Menglong would not choose it specially. The more common and cheap the better. Even if it tastes worse, it would be better. Zhajiang noodles are also expensive!

There are not even a few tables in the restaurant. The girls have to put three small tables together to be able to sit down. It looks like they have already ordered delicious food and are now taking photos with the few guests. , and even the boss chipped in. This will be the future income of the store.

You must know that fans have a somewhat unique way of thinking. In order to be consistent with idols, their spending power is really no joke. The most common example is endorsement. If it were not for the following of fans or passers-by, as for Why spend such a huge price to hire top-tier artists?

In a small shop like this now, as long as you hang up photos of girls and promote them online, many fans will come here to taste it. As long as the taste is not particularly unpleasant, it will be difficult for the shop to become popular. .

"Thank you so much. I will give you some more fried dumplings. Do you want anything else? It's all my treat!" the boss said very gratefully.

It's just that the girls obviously don't appreciate it: "No, no, no, how can I have the nerve to ask you to spend money? Don't give us anything. It's best to charge for the side dishes separately!"

Faced with the girls' request, the boss could only praise him for his integrity. He would never agree to anyone who spoke ill of the girls to their faces in the future. Such kind-hearted girls, in order to take care of his small business, they even went so far as to I don’t want anything given for free, I’ll be moved to tears if I say any more!

But Li Menglong pinched his chopsticks hard, otherwise he was afraid that he would cry. These girls really spared no effort to let him bleed, and they didn't want anything for free? They were so crazy that Li Menglong wished he could go over and confront them one by one!

Fortunately, Xu Xian secretly tugged on the corner of his clothes from below and motioned him to look at the price. This fried dumpling really didn't cost much, so he wouldn't fall out with the girls just because of this. After all, so did they. Li Menglong's nominal benefactor is not.

Li Menglong accepted it obediently, and even asked proactively: "I need something more, Xiaoxian and I haven't ordered it yet, can we order more for you?"

"Hmph, don't think we don't know what you're thinking!" Kim Taeyeon hugged her shoulders and sneered: "We've already ordered yours and Xiaoxian's, just wait and eat together!"

Li Menglong was really panicked. He looked at the price subconsciously and finally felt more at ease. No matter how much they could eat, three servings of noodles for each person would be enough, and Li Menglong could still afford the money. .

But when the boss served the dishes, Li Menglong was dumbfounded. Everyone saw a big bowl in front of them, but why were there no noodles in it? Did the boss cut corners on the noodles? This doesn’t make sense, this bowl of meat is obviously much more expensive than the noodles!

"Eat it, we specially asked the boss to make it, sweet and sour pork noodles!" Li Shunkyu picked up a piece of crispy meat and threw it into his mouth. It tasted very sweet.

But Li Menglong's face looked a little ugly. The most expensive dish in this small restaurant was the sweet and sour pork. Looking at the girls, it was clear that they regarded this place as a sweet and sour pork buffet. They had to hurt each other. Aren't you afraid of getting bored? After all, pork is no better than beef. Eating too much will make you sick!

After much hesitation, Li Menglong endured it, but silently cursed these girls in his heart. It would be better if they all ate and vomited on the spot. But after he took a bite, his expression was as if he had opened a dyeing workshop. The colorful ones are really beautiful.

As a kitchen veteran, Li Menglong can still tell the difference between pork and beef. After all, the price difference is a bit big, and judging from the texture and taste, it is probably the top quality beef. The price difference can be ten times higher. Not only that, since when did street restaurants become so expensive? Does it make sense that a set meal worth RMB 5,000 costs more than RMB 100,000 worth of Korean beef?
