Chapter 969: The water is a little deep
Let the girls continue to complain about the company and the company's male artists over there, while Li Menglong himself stood in front of the sink, and after turning on the faucet, the whole person stood there a little dazed.
Although there have been things to do in the past few days, Li Menglong also has to think about it when he has nothing to do, is it true that he will not make movies? If that is the case, although the company's development can be good, it is still an ordinary company after all.
These days, it's not just Li Menglong himself who is thinking of a way, Li Enxi has also been in touch, it can be said that the two have not broken the phone in the past few days, but the girls haven't found out, and after a very complicated understanding, Li Menglong's jealousy of this circle has deepened a lot.
To put it simply, the entertainment industry is a high-risk but profitable industry, and the high risk is only for those small companies that have no capital, but if they gain a firm foothold in a certain industry in the entertainment industry, they will almost not lose money, and how much they make depends on the ability of each company.
Because the entertainment industry is one of South Korea's established national policies, and the whole country has a tilt in terms of policies and taxes, when Hong Kong's entertainment industry is weak and Japan's entertainment industry is only shrinking to its own domestic market and relying on animation as the main output force, South Korea is rapidly expanding its overseas Asian market at the turn of the new century.
With the entry of NRG and HOT into China, TVXQ occupies Japan, and it can be said that it has succeeded in part of the output of idols, and then with the continuous cultivation of talents, variety shows, TV series, and movies have also followed.
In South Korea, a quarter of people rely on the entertainment industry to eat is not a joke, unlike the general industry, a popular star can at least directly or indirectly raise more than 100 people.
This is not an exaggeration, the planners, front desk, agents, their assistants, stylists, related beauty salons, and even the crew of the clothing stores and TV series sponsored by them, of course, cannot be said to rely on one person completely, but dozens or even hundreds of stars can not get together!
Of course, it is not enough to have the support of the state, after all, businessmen are pursuing profits, and the government is just equivalent to building a platform and setting up a golden avenue, and what really makes people like moths to fire is the terrifying profits.
No one can say exactly how much money this industry can make, and it is not impossible to lose money, but as far as Li Menglong himself knows, the idol industry alone is worthy of the idiom of Wanli, which is the literal meaning!
For example, the company's top or popular groups basically come out with a group every two years, and except for the super popular ones like Girls' Generation, the contract can be modified in five years, and the contract will generally be changed accordingly after about seven years of debut.
As for the terrible slave contract before the contract was changed, many fans have heard of it, and Li Menglong can only say that Jiuyi is compassionate enough, and what is worse is the mainstream, AOA's gang of children have debuted for more than three years and still rely on the president to buy clothes and snacks with pocket money, because they can't make money!
And the fact that the girls can change the contract in advance is not that Li Xiuman or anyone is merciful, but the girls make too much money for the company, and they want the girls to earn more and longer for the company, so showing sincerity is a good way.
Such an exaggerated contract is full of words on the company's side, which is the cost of training for so many years! This is indeed understandable, and the girls have basically received professional guidance for about five years on the S*M side.
It's just that what did S*M pay? a few teachers? a practice venue, a crowded dormitory, and food expenses of one or two thousand yuan per meal? Of course, these training expenses are small, mainly the corresponding resources paid by the girls when they debuted.
As for how much the so-called resources can be worth, it's hard to say, and hundreds of millions of dollars before and after an album still have to be obtained, and many small companies or small groups signed are generally one or two albums, and if they don't become popular, they will end, and the company will even go bankrupt.
But large companies like S*M don't worry about this, if one doesn't work, one will come again, and if two are not popular, they will copy another scandal, and when the star can be mass-produced, S*M will embark on a broad road.
has also achieved a lot of profits, but limited by the size of this market and the number of people in hand, entertainment companies are destined to promote only two or three groups of idols, even if these groups of artists make more, they will not be able to compete with the profits brought by two or three large-cost movies.
Some are similar to the fact that entertainment companies make a profit of 1 to 10,000, and movies are 1 to 1. However, the investment ceiling of entertainment companies may be millions or tens of millions, but movies can reach more than a billion or even tens of billions.
The forms are different, but the principles are the same, the entertainment industry is very profitable, and large companies are simply picking up money, and after the cake is big, many people naturally want to come over and share a piece, even if they are not engaged in this industry, it is not impossible.
South Korea is a country that is somewhat deformed due to historical reasons, and simply put, the gray transactions of various rights within the country are simply frighteningly large, and because of the imitation of the democratic electoral system of the United States, the struggle between several parties will reach its peak every time there is a general election.
And the election campaign needs money, and there are many sources of money, and political donations in the entertainment industry are also an important source, as for how much can be really used for the campaign, it is another matter.
So basically, the companies that can be called in the entertainment industry basically have this behavior of "paying protection fees", as for the form, it is generally in the form of shares, anyway, there are so many small shareholders in the company, who knows which one is the one who eats dry shares.
The main reason is that the development is too fast, and it has not yet reached the beginning of the general election, so it is only now that the wind and waves are calm, but can they escape this money? Those who have paid the money will not necessarily care whether you will be tilted or not, after all, no one who is in a position will affect them; but 100 percent of those who do not pay will be tilted, this is certain.
Both Lee Eun-hee and Lee Mong-ryong wondered if CJ represented a certain party or the will of the specific candidates, and Lee Mong-ryong did not mind sharing a part of the interests in the general environment, after all, he was not a pedantic person.
It's just that it's a bit petty to let CJ's people come over and say this, anyway, Li Menglong is quite optimistic about CJ or the few behind them, although as long as you pay the money, these have nothing to do with Li Menglong, but give money to the characters who look pleasing to the eye.
Silently smoothed out the things in his heart, although there was still no good way, but it did not prevent Li Menglong from feeling better: "oppa! What are you doing......?
With Xu Xian's reminder, Li Menglong found that the water in the sink had come out a lot, mainly because the stacked dishes and chopsticks blocked the pool, so the water was able to accumulate and even bubble up, and he hurriedly pressed down the faucet, looking at the wet ground, Li Menglong was also very embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Is Li Menglong in trouble again?" Li Shungui also rubbed up, because the girls were about to rest: "Oh, I want to play in the water and tell my sister, I will take you to the water park when I have time, I am very beautiful in a swimsuit!"
"Inside, thank you in advance!" Li Menglong took the mop handed by Xu Xian and began to wipe it, but fortunately, there was not a lot of outflow: "You guys go to sleep first, I'll get it!"
Li Shungui nodded, and was ready to quit as a matter of course, but isn't there still Xu Xian: "I can't let you do it alone, I'll accompany you!"
"Hehe, it's still Xiaoxian, I'll go back and buy you candy to eat!"
Li Shungui was a little embarrassed to stand in place for a while, and half of his body turned around, but should he leave now? Xu Xian stayed behind as a busy person, and she, who was a sister and a girlfriend, just left? It doesn't seem to be appropriate!
So she rolled her eyes, and soon had a ghost idea, only to see Li Shungui standing in place facing the living room, waving to the girls who got up one after another, and then gestured with her mouth: Come and eat delicious!
Lee Soon-gyu's actions alone are very suspicious, not to mention this sentence, if there is a delicious food, Lee Soon-gyu will think of them?
So the girls won't be fooled, they don't even have the urge to go in and take a look, and the living room is empty in minutes, leaving Lee Soon-gyu himself to turn around dejectedly, and say very dissatisfied: "I'm here to help, too!
According to the normal rhythm of the conversation, shouldn't the answer at this time be that you don't need it, you go to rest, etc., but Li Menglong will be so polite? Or will he be so polite to girls other than Xu Xian?
"Oh, let's brush the bowl in the pool!" Li Menglong said without raising his head.
It's a natural thing to eat and wash dishes, but when the number of people eating is put to ten, it's more terrifying, so Li Shungui immediately found an excuse to shirk: "I'm going to go on stage tomorrow, my nails are all new, and I can't get wet!"
"Oh, isn't that gloved! If this one is too big, there will be a small one in the cabinet! I'll get it ready for you when I buy it!" Li Menglong smiled heartily.
Li Shungui felt so tired for a while, they were all a family, was it appropriate to play so tricky? As everyone knows, she didn't want to think about who Li Menglong was forced to do this.
Fortunately, she Li Shungui is not a pampered eldest lady, and she is not so entangled in brushing a bowl, but her heart is not smooth, why do those dead girls want her to brush their rice bowls?
It seemed that he had seen through Li Shungui's careful thinking, and Li Menglong leaned over and suggested: "Otherwise, make a rule in the future and brush your own bowl?"
Li Shungui almost agreed, but fortunately, he restrained his mouth in the end, and then kicked Li Menglong hard with one foot: "Go to work, don't keep thinking about the routine for me ......"
