The Rise of Korean Entertainment

"Do I still want to give you money?" Li Eunxi asked absurdly. Although she saw Li Shunkyu's bankruptcy with her own eyes, she couldn't ask for any money.

"Why can't I ask for it? I've put in my time and labor. I deserve this. Why do you act like I'm being unreasonable?" Li Shunkyu immediately defended.

"I don't want money because of the company's face. I am willing to dedicate myself!" Li Shungui became more and more excited as he spoke: "But it does not mean that the company can openly deduct my labor income, especially when I ask for it. !”

Seeing Li Shun Kyu's righteous words over there, Li Enxi opened his mouth but rarely said anything, because what Li Shun Kyu said did make some sense.

In theory, artists can do odd jobs for the company, such as attending the company's internal party, helping the company's newcomers stand up, or helping the company to serve as judges as they do now. These should not require money.

It’s not that you shouldn’t ask for it, but the company can’t give it to you. Firstly, it’s all for the company’s activities. How much is appropriate can’t be calculated as an endorsement. Secondly, it’s the artist’s own consideration. Even with this kind of money If you want it all, aren't you afraid of the reputation within the company?

In fact, 99% of artists still have to think about it. Artists and companies rarely break up unless absolutely necessary, but Lee Soon Kyu is the remaining one percent!

She's not afraid of the company's so-called threats. It's better to ban her. Anyway, she has long wanted to retire. As for not giving her a job opportunity, it's not a problem.

By the way, Lee Soon Kyu can even say that the entire Girls' Generation has passed the time when they need to rely on the company. It's not that the company can't provide help, but it doesn't have that much effect.

Objectively speaking, with their current popularity, capital, and connections, girls can live a very prosperous life if they independently set up a company that serves them.

Even the earnings are not necessarily less than those of large companies. Although the opportunities will be relatively less, there is no need to consider the share. Every penny earned is their own.

Of course, doing this will be more tiring, and being a boss is risky after all, even if it is the smallest possibility. If this fails, wouldn't it mean that all the wealth accumulated over the years will be lost?

Rather than taking risks on your own, it is of course more appropriate to rely on a large company to ensure your profits through drought and floods and take your share of the generous dividends. This is the best strategy for girls.

This is what Li Shun Kyu thinks now. If the company dares to suppress her, Li Shun Kyu will simply "defect" out, even if he joins a gang by himself.

I don’t dare to say how many achievements she can achieve in acting and solo, but it will be no problem for her to host some variety shows. A female idol with a sense of variety shows like her is a rarity in the industry!

Of course, the above premise is that the company will suppress Lee Soon Kyu, but will SW Company do this? I have never heard of any company openly suppressing its own company's major shareholders. It's hard to say who will suppress whom.

So now if Lee Eun-hee applies pressure forcefully, it will be of no use. Lee Soon-kyu's aggressive posture is really hard to resist. All he can do is to be reasonable. The president of a large company has been raped by his subordinates. It’s sad when an artist is pushed to such an extent.

"If you want to say that, then we can have a good chat. If I remember correctly, you are also one of the starring actors in this movie. Have you signed the contract?" Li Eunxi leaned back on the chair with his hands folded in front of his chest, as if The aura of the superior came to him.

Speaking of which, Li Eunxi is not so easy to get along with. If she didn't have some external strength, she would not have been able to reach this position as a woman and lead her SW to become bigger and bigger.

It's just that there is no need to show this attitude towards girls on weekdays. After all, girls are more suitable to be partners of the company than artists of the company.

Whether it is based on the current popularity and status of the girls, or judging from their private relationship with the company's top management, they are not ordinary artists.

But this is not a special situation now. Sure enough, as Li Eunxi became serious, Li Soonkyu became a little unable to resist, but when she thought about her empty pockets, she felt that she should give it a try!

"Yes, I signed a contract, but it's all an actor's contract. Don't think we don't understand!"

"The contract should have specific terms. For example, the actors are obliged to cooperate with the company's filming, promotion and preparation of the film!"

Li Menglong on the side could not help but applaud Li Enxi. Even he, the director, did not expect such a clause. He did not expect that Li Enxi, a dignified president, knew so much about the details of the contract. Is this a sign of serious work?

If Li Menglong was willing to ask questions, Li Enxi would definitely give her a blank look. Do you really think she, Li Enxi, was sitting there as a decoration? After all, she has worked her way up from the bottom step by step, and she keeps all the big and small things in the company in mind.

Just like this clause, Li Enxi is actually not sure what is written in the contract. Even if she is really free, she will never read the girls' contracts one by one, because it is not necessary!

Even if there are any troubles or disputes, they can be resolved privately through Li Menglong, and there will never be a confrontation where the contract needs to be dug out.

But SW is a formal company after all. Even if it doesn't deliberately obsess over the girls' contracts, it will at least have a rough template. This is Li Enxi's confidence.

In other words, what exactly is the purpose of inviting actors to come to a movie? Is it just to invite them to come and shoot a movie?

If that were the case, then the prices of many actors would need to plummet, because acting is the only consideration for filming, and there are many actors with poor acting skills.

Apart from anything else, if idols want to transform into actors, they almost have to start acting as bit parts, because most idols only have the acting skills to play bit parts!

But this is not the case in reality. Take Yoona for example. This girl's first work was the heroine of a Japanese drama. Could it be said that Yoona at that time already had the acting skills to be able to carry on in a major film?

And more of the works where idols appear are basically in supporting roles. However, if they are popular, they are not the protagonist. If this happens, we have to talk about another role of actors.

The company invites actors. Acting is only one aspect. The key is to increase the box office and drive ratings. Simply put, as long as it can bring profits to the company, poor acting skills are tolerated.

When thinking about this effect, in addition to its own popularity, publicity is also indispensable, and can even be said to be quite important. In this way, such an important thing will naturally be reflected in the contract.

Otherwise, if the actor disappears immediately after filming, this will really make the production company cry to death. This is what Li Enxi is betting on now. She believes that this clause must be included in the contract.

Although this clause mainly restricts the actors' actions in post-publicity, it seems to be appropriate to cooperate with the casting of the film in the early stage.

It would be a joke to expect Lee Soon Kyu to know something that even Lee Eun Hee is not sure about. Although the contract was signed by her name personally, who would read that.

Li Soonkyu vaguely remembered that Li Menglong got this contract back one night, and even kept it in the dormitory for a day for them to take a closer look.

But it seems that no one except Xu Xian has this patience. As for Xu Xian looking at the contract, it’s not that he doesn’t trust Li Menglong, it’s just out of the habit of so many years.

As for when it comes to Lee Mong-ryong asking for a contract, naturally there are all kinds of things, and Lee Soon-kyu who dug it out from under the bed is considered good.

Yoona didn't know what was sprinkled in her share. The whole contract was crumpled and the handwriting was a bit unclear. Wasn't this the last thing she got through because everyone knew that the contract had no restrictions on them. As long as Li Menglong is here, they won't suffer.

So now Lee Soon Kyu still feels guilty. If there is such a clause in the contract, it means that her current work is already included in her salary, which makes her suddenly lose the legitimate reason to ask for money.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He couldn't help but glare at Li Menglong who was snickering over there: "You still have the nerve to smile? As our agent, is this how you negotiate the contract? How much income have we lost? Are you Didn’t you get a kickback there?”

"Yeah, you have to use evidence when you speak, don't act like a bitch!"

"Why don't I tell you the evidence? Why are you afraid that I will tell you what you can do? Everyone is watching. Who do you think you can hide?"

Seeing that Li Soonkyu was no longer trying to reason, Li Menglong felt that there was no need to continue the conversation. After all, justice is in the heart of the people. As she said, everyone sees everything and makes a judgment in their hearts. of.

As for everyone's judgment, they are obviously more inclined to sympathize with and believe in Li Menglong. This is not to flatter him, but it is really difficult to find a more reliable agent than Li Menglong, especially in terms of money.

As we all know, it is difficult for celebrities to handle some matters in person because of their status. Basically, all matters involving money will be handled by their agents, which gives many agents the opportunity to do something.

But it's not that there are no reliable agents. Others may rely on their character, but Li Menglong simply doesn't lack money.

If he has time to embezzle money from girls, he might as well make one more movie. It is estimated that the income will be enough for him to embezzle for decades.

Seeing that no one could speak for her, Lee Soon Kyu was really unhappy, but after all, she signed the contract herself, and it wasn't her style to go back on it. What's more, she wasn't sure whether Lee Eun Hee would pursue her for liquidated damages or something. of.

If it were in the past, Lee Soon Kyu wouldn't care about this. I'm so amazing that I'll pay the money and quit. But it's because I don't have money in my pocket. I don't have the confidence to speak.

As these people sat down, the atmosphere was still a little depressing. Now it was Li Menglong's turn to feel a little sorry. Of course, there was no need to think about returning the bank card.

"Otherwise, you can give me some, as much or as little as you like. Anyway, I want to give you some hard work!" Li Menglong persuaded here: "Besides, everyone is really working hard, so it would be nice if everyone had a share. "

Even though he was sulking there, Lee Soon Kyu's ears were still propped up. I have to say that Lee Meng Ryong was still a human being after all, and would consider her emotions to some extent, otherwise he wouldn't want this boyfriend!

Li Shunkyu knew that his attitude just now was not very good, so he did not dare to speak now. He just looked at Li Enxi helplessly. After all, the decision-making power was in the hands of the other party.

Li Enxi saw the expressions of these people in her eyes. To be honest, it was a bit absurd. She, Li Enxi, put it more harshly, because she worked for Li Menglong and his wife.

As a result, two bosses came to her as a part-time worker to ask for wages. This was a bit unreasonable, and the suggestion itself was worth complaining about.

In order to make himself agree, Li Menglong even suggested that the person who met her should have a share in it, and he was using money to corrupt her Li Enxi in disguise. The key is that the money still belongs to both of them, so they can take advantage of them?

The relationship here is really complicated, but since these two insist on receiving benefits, she, Li Enxi, seems to have no reason to refuse. This bad guy has failed miserably.

"Forget it for the rest of us, it's just us as judges. What do you think is an appropriate amount of hard work fee?"

"Ten billion!" As Li Eun-hee relented, Li Soon-kyu finally couldn't bear it any longer and directly shouted out a sky-high price, promising to get his money back.

Yoona, who had been watching the excitement, was actually very happy. She didn't do anything and was able to make some extra money. This kind of good thing should be more for her.

However, when she heard Lee Soon Kyu shouting out the hard-earned money, Yoona was still a little bit panicked. Is this sister confused? Most of the money belongs to the two of them, but now she has to take it out and Share equally between everyone?

When everyone looked at her like they were looking at idiots, Li Shunkyu couldn't help but feel a little shy despite his shamelessness. Even if the money was a little more, it wasn't non-negotiable!

"One...one hundred million is enough, it's really not much!" Lee Soon Kyu tried to win everyone's approval here.

"Don't underestimate yourselves. You are the president of a big company, a well-known domestic director, the most popular idol and actor at the moment. Why do you think your value is less than 100 million? I even think it is too low!"

I have to say that what Lee Soon Kyu said is still a bit bluffing, but whoever believes it is a fool. Even a simple take advantage of Lee Eun Hee will not agree.

If she wants to make money from the company, there are many hidden ways. Only Li Shunkyu can think of such an ugly look. What is the difference between this and a price of 3,000 for a switch?

Xu Xian didn't know what was going on inside yet. She came here to ask when the interview could start: "What, there is a hard-earned fee? No need, this is what I should do!"

"As expected of Xiaoxian, look at this awareness, and then look at some people, tsk tsk!"
