The Rise of Korean Entertainment

(The ninth update of the "Big Mao Ni" leader, thank you!)

Looking at Kim Taeyeon's eyes as she looked over, Li Menglong didn't even despise her. In fact, this result was a bit beyond the understanding of the simpler girls.

That's right, their new manager is still Park Xiangmin, but this time it's SW Park Xiangmin. Looking at the stunned girls, Li Menglong laughed unscrupulously.

What surprised the girls was that the things Park Xiangmin had done in the past had disgusted them, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was an enemy.

But does Park Xiangmin have any subjective feelings for the girls in this matter? In addition to maybe always being a little disgusted with Li Menglong, he has always had the same attitude towards girls as Kim Young-min.

Therefore, Park Xiangmin is more like a machine without consciousness. He will have whatever emotions are filled in for him.

And since Li Menglong has become his new boss, one can imagine how Park Xiangmin will treat the girls. Of course, these are all personal thoughts.

As for Park Xiangmin being able to come over, there are various reasons. First of all, because of Li Xiuman's counterattack, Kim Youngmin was already a little overwhelmed with self-care, so naturally she didn't have the energy to arrange for Park Xiangmin.

However, Park Xiangmin's status in s*m was pretty good. Not to mention taking a step up, he didn't even have a position at the level, so he could only be embarrassed and at a loss.

At this time, Li Menglong called. Park Xiangmin originally thought it was full of ridicule, but who knew that he actually analyzed the current situation for himself, and finally offered a series of conditions for him to jump to SW.

Park Xiangmin naturally hesitated for a long time. After all, there were too many miscellaneous things with Li Menglong at the beginning, but Li Menglong meant that it happened, he took revenge, and the matter was over, and he had to move on!

Combined with Li Menglong's past methods, it is indeed what he said. Li Menglong is the kind of person who has a grudge that never ends overnight, and if there is another conflict after revenge, it will be another matter, at least after that s*m fight. The two have always been in peace.

What really moved Park Xiangmin was Li Menglong's affirmation. Li Menglong affirmed Park Xiangmin's professional ability!

As a professional manager, Park Xiangmin has always done very well. Although he has led Girls' Generation since Gee, there is no doubt that the girls have developed better.

As for Yoona's TV series and other scandals about her, they actually have nothing to do with him, and there isn't much room for him to show off. After all, there are countless people above who can talk to him.

So when Li Menglong said that he could let go and show his abilities to his heart's content, he hesitated again.

After a night of struggling, until he saw the girls' concert, looked at the sea of ​​fans, looked at Li Menglong's interaction with the girls and fans, and of course the strength shown by SW, he made this decision.

As for why Li Menglong must find Park Xiangmin, it's very simple. He has no one else to use! Agents, agents who run top Asian artists, do they really think that the streets are full of talent?

As for Park Xiangmin, in fact, if things like Li Menglong had not happened, if he had worked for another one or two years, he would have been one of the top executives of s*m, but he had been cheated by Li Menglong more than once.

And compared to an outsider, both Li Menglong's understanding of Park Xiangmin and Park Xiangmin's understanding of the girls are the most suitable and can be seamlessly connected in the shortest time.

As for Park Xiangmin's past methods, Li Menglong never thought about it, because Park Xiangmin is a smart person, and smart people will know what to do and what not to do.

As for the girls, they have been working with Park Xiangmin for so many years. Just like before they fell out, Kim Taeyeon had always had expectations for him. So if we start over again, we won’t be able to accept it.

The only thing that gave them the confidence to try to cooperate with Park Xiangmin again was the man standing next to the car door arguing with Li Eunkyu.

"No matter how much I say, you won't believe it, so give me some time, let's get to know each other again, and you will see the sincerity!" Park Xiangmin was an agent who once held great power, so he can speak his mind. This is considered the ultimate in talking to his idols.

Fortunately, Kim Taeyeon and the others were not the kind of girls who insisted on revenge. After a few words with each other, the matter was completely settled.

Li Shunkyu was asking questions with her second sister the whole time. She didn't care at all who was the agent. In fact, if you look at the problem more clearly, you can find that no matter who it is, can they ignore the opinions of assistant Li Menglong?

If Li Menglong had to use various means to influence the so-called company level before, now he is the company, but the agent has to do everything possible to watch his eyes.

As for Li Menglong, if he can watch them suffer, then Li Shunkyu will admit it. Besides, he also has his own second sister. From now on, when she is bullied, she will go to her second sister. Her second sister will love her.

"Are you going directly to the company soon?"

"Well, I might not be back for the next two days. You should pay attention. If something happens, there are not so many people in the company. Just look for me! You are now the number one sister in the company!"

"Tch, in which company have we not been the first sister?" Li Shunkyu raised his head, then put his arm around the second sister's shoulders: "This agent assistant, Ms. Li Yinkyu, is getting on the bus!"

"Do you want to die?"

The two nanny cars disappeared like wind. Thinking about Park Xiangmin bowing solemnly to him in the end, Li Menglong felt quite touched. Would Park Xiangmin or he have thought of this scene a year ago?

Putting away his sensibility, Li Menglong went directly to the company's editing room. The professor and his team were still busy there. In fact, the editing in Room 7 was almost completed, and the post-production dubbing was almost complete except for Xu Xian's.

It's just that although there are not many things left, the time is too short to hold on. Li Enxi's words directly sold these people. It will be really embarrassing if they can't get it out before Christmas.

As one of the directors and screenwriters of this film, Li Menglong naturally has to be involved in the whole process, and he has to deal with more than just film matters. Who gives him so many identities?

Being pulled directly out of the dark editing room by Li Enxi, Li Menglong didn't even know what time it was and could only passively listen to Li Enxi and several of his cadres discussing the release of the film.

Unlike TV dramas, as long as you find a TV station to broadcast it and negotiate the price, everything will be fine. There are so many things to say in the movie, and the film schedule of one theater chain alone is enough to put many people away.

As for the detailed explanation, Li Menglong finally understood some of it. First of all, the major distributors in South Korea are CJ, Xiubo, and Lotte. These companies are all well-funded and have their own theater chains. They can be said to be a one-stop production and sales company. It’s not an exaggeration to say that at least half of South Korea’s movies are released every year.

As for other small companies, although they are nominally independent publishers, the theater chain alone is completely eaten up by several large companies, so they must be more or less involved.

As the former senior executive of Xiubao, Li Enxi was naturally focused on investing in the issuance market. Although it was not easy at all, she knew she had to do it.

Otherwise SW will always be at the bottom of the batch, but their demands are more than that.

As for what distribution should do, this is a bit complicated. Simply put, after the director obtains the investment from the investor and shoots the film, everything after that is the issuer's business.

Including subsequent publicity planning, box office statistics, overseas channels, etc., it can be said that the final success of the movie has a great relationship with the distributor.

On the whole, Li Menglong's House No. 7 is an investment from SW, but the internal division of labor is still somewhat clear, and it is this link that Li Enxi and others are struggling with now.

The added value tax for a film in South Korea is 10%, the film development fund is 3%, the cinema has to share 43.5%, and the production company and distribution company have to share 43.5%, which is the return of SW. Of course, the production company can also make some money back through later production of Blu-ray discs, online sales, and various peripherals.

But the problem now is that they can't even manage theaters. Although Li Eunxi and the others are familiar with the business, they still have to spend money to knock on doors. Those with theater chains are the way to go.

As for why theater chains can control them, it's too simple. There are so many movies, why do they have to show yours?

So it is inevitable to spend more money, but the only advantage is that their film is considered a low-cost literary film, so it can barely rely on several Korean film support policies. There are still a lot of various funds in Korea.

Moreover, theater chains or several major distribution companies usually focus on movies that they think can have big box office. As for Room 7, just looking at the lineup and definition, it can't even get in front of the top group of people.

So Lee Eun-hee, a veteran, relied on his past relationships to directly secure Xiubo and Lotte theaters. Of course, CJ would also show them, but relatively speaking, the other two would have much more films.

And because it didn't go through the upper management, there was no prepared profit sharing. It was just enough for both parties to privately distribute nearly 100 million in cash each.

Li Enxi was a little dumbfounded for a while, because this proved that people didn't like this movie at all, and of course there were also people with a discerning eye.

But compared to the company making a lot of money, isn't it better that they can make so much gray income? What's more, the company is not short of such a small amount of money, and they just chose to ignore it between reporting it and ignoring it according to the process. There is nothing wrong with it at all!

"So? Why did you call me here? Just to let me listen to your efforts and praise you by the way?" The matter was settled, and Li Menglong didn't know why he was called here.

"Let me tell you, by the way, how do you want to promote this movie?"

"The simple kind! Spend less and pay less!" Li Menglong said the truth, and it was Li Enxi's heartfelt voice.

Because she was afraid that Li Menglong would not be happy, she was embarrassed to speak directly, but since Li Menglong was so reasonable, she just went along with the flow.

So the promotional plan for Room 7’s gift is simply to run naked...
