The Rise of Korean Entertainment

He drove Xu Xian and Xiaomin to their workplace, but Xu Xian still kindly reminded him in the car: "I always feel that this is a last-minute idea. Why don't you think about it again? Don't be impulsive!"

Xiaomin on the other end is not easy to say this mainly because of her status. After all, seriously speaking, she can barely be regarded as an employee of Li Menglong, at least for the past six months, and Tara and the others also have some small thoughts in their hearts, girl How they jumped to the current SW is a role model.

Of course, the situation is somewhat different due to the time. It would not be too much to say that SW at that time was poor and useless. It was a typical toad that wanted to eat swan meat. It can be said that there were hundreds of such small companies in Korea, but none of them had such a An unreasonable thought,

However, relying on Li Soonkyu's internal support and Li Menglong's external creation conditions, this matter was really accomplished by him. Looking back from the results, naturally everything went extremely smoothly, and everything seemed so beautiful.

But you must know that the girls took great risks at that time. Although they were undoubtedly the number one idol in terms of popularity at that time, you must know that popularity is an elusive thing, just like on the beach. There are huge piles of sand, and a big wave may pass by without even leaving a trace.

At that time, SW could only rely on themselves. Li Menglong couldn't help much in this regard. They had to rely on their own abilities to manage themselves. This was no different from crossing the river by feeling for the stones. The most intuitive examples are many After popular artists leave big companies to set up their own studios, it can almost be said that their works, advertising, exposure, etc. are all declining. This is the difference between big companies and individuals.

That is to say, the girls had such courage and believed in Li Menglong's ability. SW also relied on the initial popularity of the girls to grow up step by step. From the beginning, it had to rely on the popularity of the girls to now it can protect them from the wind. No one in Yu's big tree feels wrong about the girls' superior status in the company. This is what they deserve.

But now if Tara wants to come over, it's a little bit subtle. To put it bluntly, it's a concubine's intention and ruthlessness. SW is gradually moving closer to a film and television production company. It is gradually unable to manage artists, especially idol singers. Of course It’s okay to say it’s overkill.

Needless to say, the profits brought by girls are phenomenal, but their existence is phenomenal. After all, not every group can do their own thing. It can be said that signing Girls’ Generation and signing nine popular actresses are nothing. the difference.

However, if you change to another idol group, even if it is like Tara, there will always be a gap between the income that the company brings to the company and the company's investment. After all, these people can be placed in positions that can create more profits. SW is so positive now. , there are many cakes, but the most delicious cream must be bitten in your mouth first.

At this point, IU's company is the direction of SW's development. The head office operates its own telecommunications company, and branches out subsidiaries to manage artists. However, these subsidiaries are not entirely for profit. Influence is what they want. demand.

Therefore, even though iu's company LOEN Entertainment has a medium-sized mobile bank like Li Ji-eun, and can dominate the existence of girls with one person's popularity, it has no urge to continue to expand. Although there are still a few artists under its banner, they are still small. There are three or two cats. At first glance, it can be said that it is a company opened for Li Zhien alone.

To a certain extent, this statement is not wrong. LOEN Entertainment did put at least 80% of its energy on Li Zhien, especially when she had no intention of coming to join Li Menglong, the other party was even more focused on serving this little girl.

It may be that until Lee Ji-eun is no longer popular or leaves the company, LOEN Entertainment will train or poach a top artist again. In this regard, sw has a somewhat similar meaning to girls.

The reason for this result is not that people like SW look down on girls. It can only be said that the company's most profitable projects do not come from this. To put it more bluntly, why don't large entertainment companies like S*M and JYP Entering the film and television production market? Is it more profitable to cultivate idols?

The fact is that they can't get in, and even invested in several TV series but ended up losing money. As for which model is more profitable, if you think about it simply, entertainment companies cultivate artists and make profits by relying on their fame; while film and television production and distribution companies It is to invite famous artists to make money for them, and the risks and profits involved are wise.

However, sw is still in the stage of rapid development, and now it is not sure which business to abandon, so sw's strategy is to occupy the territory first, and then eat down the most profitable part step by step, and finally eat Whether you are full or stuffed to death depends on the control ability of Li Enxi and Li Menglong.

Therefore, SW is now a little reluctant to even run the girls. Where is the extra energy to help Tara return to the top? This is destined to be a relatively passive situation, but Tara and her gang have identified the SW company, or in other words, identified it. Li Menglong.

Only those who have experienced betrayal know how precious trust is. They don’t want to waste the last and best opportunity. Fortunately, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Li Menglong is not the kind of hard-hearted person, and Tara and the others He has a good relationship with the girls, and he has recently been on the line with Director Luo. This cannot be said to be irrelevant, as fortresses are breached from within.

But no matter how sincere her heart is, Xiaomin has not joined SW after all, so she can't say what Xu Xian can say. She can only help Xu Xian with her eyes, but Li Menglong doesn't care: "What can you do to me? It's all Whether your work is good or not, can you still be picky about your work?”

Li Menglong took advantage of waiting for the red light to educate Xu Xian earnestly: "Although you have been famous for many years, you are considered a new and popular actor, and you have recently made some achievements in the direction of directing, but you still can't be proud. !my little sister!"

Xu Xian didn't know whether to cry or laugh after hearing this. Although the words of praise for her were barely true, she still felt that they were a bit excessive. But later on, she said she was proud and she would not admit it. She was treated by this gang every day. With the unnies destroying her, Seohyun had no chance to show off her prestige as an actor, and Yoona was the first one not to let her go.

But what Li Menglong said before is quite good. Putting aside their personal relationship with Li Menglong, this is work! Even if they say the work is harder, they won't do it. Their professional ethics are quite good. Besides, this can be regarded as helping her train actors. She doesn't have to bear hatred. She should be grateful to Li Menglong for this.

He easily fooled the two girls, but the focus and difficulty were not on these two people. After all, they were on the same tree as Li Menglong, otherwise why would he call them here so early in the morning? Let's unite the front first, and add a few grains of sand to those girls. Maybe it will be useful at a critical moment, but of course it won't be the best!

After the car stopped, Li Menglong motioned to the two girls to wait for a moment. He had no reconnaissance ability at all. Sure enough, he looked around and immediately spotted several nanny vans. If he went on rashly, he might be caught.

"You two go down first. The excuse is as we have agreed. You and Xiaomin must meet in advance to discuss the script!" Li Menglong warned worriedly: "Don't think you are deceiving them. You are the only ones who are just. !”

Xu Xian directly pulled Hyo Min and walked away. Maybe he has been with girls for too long and has learned from the occasional madness. In this case, it is better not to listen to similar words. It is easy to be pulled away. Low IQ.

However, even though they were fully prepared, they still felt a little guilty when faced with more than a dozen pairs of eyes. Soon they were taken back by their teams for interrogation: "Tell me, one big person." Have you gone to see that man a long time ago? And you still want to hide it from us!"

"Where is it? Besides, I'm an adult. As for keeping my talk about friends from you? I'll discuss it with you instead!" Xu Xian argued with a wry smile: "I'm just discussing some script matters with Hyomin Unnie!"

"Really? Then why does it have to be so early in the morning?"

"She has to have time at night!" Hyoyuan said this on behalf of Xu Xian. After all, they sleep in the same room. Xiaoyuan knows Xu Xian's living habits best. Xu Xian has been the one calling her for many years. She got up, but recently it was the other way around. The little girl was really exhausted, which made Xiaoyuan feel distressed.

Now that Xiaoyuan has come forward as a guarantee, the rest of the people will say nothing. After all, they are just here to make a fuss. As long as Xu Xian is not in danger, it will be fine. Besides, the little girl also left a note for them, otherwise they will be busy early in the morning. Nei was missing, and these people had already called the police.

As the filming schedule for TV series and movies approaches, their variety show is coming to an end. Of course, this refers to the regular stage. During the actual filming, there will be people filming them, but in order not to affect the normal operation of the crew, Probably not too much.

That is to say, there is a TV series that occupies their minds, otherwise they would be really reluctant to let go. After all, not only are we old rivals, but we are also friends of a similar age, similar experience, and the same profession. It would be fair to say that we cherish each other. Not excessive.

While everyone was waiting for today's shooting, Li Menglong walked in leisurely with a cup of coffee. His relaxed look made the girls' eyes bristle. In order to avoid them, he stayed up all night. This guy has really become more capable recently.

Li Menglong didn't care about the looks of the girls. With so many people here, could they still fight each other? It’s not that shameful! Besides, soon they won't have to focus on themselves.

Pulling Director Luo to the corner, the two men began to whisper to each other. The girls were very curious, but they were too embarrassed to go over and listen. Judging from the looks they occasionally cast towards them, The relationship with them is not small, what exactly is it?

Fortunately, the two people discussed it quickly. After all, all wretched people are alike. Director Luo was also very satisfied with Li Menglong's plan. During this period, he was really disliked by these girls. They were too noisy. ! It hurts to see too many beauties!

"Please listen carefully to what I'm going to say next. I won't repeat it a second time. You don't have the right to ask questions or make choices, so please take it seriously!" Li Menglong's opening remarks had a strong air of conspiracy.

At this time, the girls did not interrupt, otherwise they would not be able to find a place to complain if they suffered a loss. There are really not many people who can control Li Menglong at work, but they can, but what will happen to Li Menglong in the future? Work?

He was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, so Li Menglong reciprocated and slowed down his speech: "Four groups are performing each other's famous songs. It is now 8:32 in the morning. The official live broadcast will be at 1 p.m. vlive will provide a There is a separate voting page. As a friendly reminder, the other party’s fans will rate you, so keep going!”

Li Menglong swallowed his coffee, but these people were still stunned. Was it because what he said was not clear enough? He waved to them, but since they didn't want to leave, Li Menglong just left. Anyway, it wasn't him who would be embarrassed if he couldn't jump out.

With Director Luo in his arms, the two grown men didn't know what to do, but it was obvious that the girls were not focusing on them now. They skipped each other's famous songs countless times. After all, these were basic business skills. , even if it is a dance that is now popular among newcomer groups, girls will try to dance it.

It can be said that it is no problem for them to jump out immediately, but why are they given a whole morning? And from this point of view, there seems to be plans for the afternoon. The key is to live broadcast again, and to be creative and let the other party's fans rate it. , will the other party deliberately set a low score for their idol?

It’s no wonder that these girls are worried. After all, there are too many things that seem unreliable about this matter. In fact, Li Menglong also knows the loopholes, but he just doesn’t care. It doesn’t matter who gets first or fourth. What’s important is Make them nervous.

At this point, Li Menglong undoubtedly achieved his goal. The four groups looked at each other, and the sisterly friendship in the morning was instantly plasticized. After all, you can't be cowardly when it's time to compete. You can treat guests to dinner after the great event, but everyone Everyone wants to be the one who spends the money, otherwise it’s easy to choke on the meal.

Hiding in their respective practice rooms, the girls had already put on their loose sportswear for dancing and gathered together. As for Tara's Roly Poly, which was already playing on the speakers, it was a very brainwashing song, but how to change it? What about the style of their girlhood? Or how to get recognition from the other party’s fans.

For a moment, the pressure on the girls was not too great. It could be said that this directly trapped themselves and their fans. If they were not careful, it would be embarrassing, so they had no choice but to be careless.

"Hey, I know that bastard Lee Meng Yong has no good intentions. Let's eat more for lunch and get ready. This is our debut stage. Girls' Generation -" Kim Taeyeon shouted loudly, as if It's been a long time since she had to cheer up or shout slogans, and her voice was still a little broken for a while.

"fighting!"
