Chapter 612: Visiting
"This matter, it depends on what the company says. Hong Xiuyan said with a smile, "However, there is no problem in visiting the company's headquarters." I'll pick you up at the hotel tomorrow?"
Hong Xiuyan understood what Xiao Yao meant, but she didn't care too much.
She just wanted to take a Chinese star to visit the company's headquarters, and by the way, convey to the company's senior management that the other party wanted to borrow or rent the company's recording studio. If the company really took the opportunity to ask Xiao Yao to invite a song, she would at most play the role of a messenger, and she would not feel that she had to let Xiao Yao agree. It is certain that he will help to make this happen, but if Xiao Yao finally refuses, Hong Xiuyan is ready to follow what Xiao Yao said before, and ask a friend to ask for a recording studio in Seoul with better hardware facilities and for rent.
In this matter, Hong Xiuyan does not have any psychological burden. Even if things didn't work out in the end, and the company knew about helping Xiao Yao find another recording studio, Hong Xiuyan was not worried. Although Hong Xiuyan still has a contract with KM, she is no longer what KM can hide if she wants to, and block it if she wants to.
Hong Xiuyan is not the kind of little star who has just debuted, she has long been a first-line celebrity in South Korea. More importantly, Hong Xiuyan has completely gained a firm foothold in China and has a broad Chinese market. She has been in KM for more than ten years, and the previous contract with extremely harsh conditions has long been executed, and now the contract on her body is extremely lenient, if KM wants to hide her, she can terminate the contract with KM without spending too much money, and if KM wants to block her, she can also give up the Korean market and go to China to develop.
At present, in KM Entertainment Company, Hong Xiuyan is not only the first sister of the company, but also has a relatively detached status, so she dares to say that it is not a problem to take Xiao Yao to visit the company's headquarters at all, and she is not afraid that Xiao Yao who she brings will have too much impact on herself if she does not give the company's high-level work.
After agreeing on Xiao Yao's itinerary for the next day, Hong Xiuyan turned her target to Ye Jiaying.
Ye Jiaying's work arrangement will start tomorrow, and it is only afternoon, which means that in the next half an afternoon and one evening, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao are fine, and Hong Xiuyan still has the opportunity to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
Everyone has finally gone abroad, and they definitely want to go out and have a good time. After settling down in the hotel, people who have nothing to do can move freely, and Ye Jiaying did not ask herself to move with the rest of the crew at this time, so she accepted Hong Xiuyan's arrangement.
You don't need to bring an assistant when you hang out with Hong so-yeon. After Ye Jiaying settled her luggage, she instructed her assistant to move freely, and she and Xiao Yao followed Hong Xiuyan out of the hotel and were taken around Seoul by Hong Xiuyan.
Dinner was naturally arranged by Hong Xiuyan, and she ate Korea's special barbecue. The restaurant where Hong Xiuyan took Ye Jiaying's mother and son to dinner is a very famous barbecue restaurant in Seoul, and it is also a restaurant that many Korean celebrities love to go to. When Hong Xiuyan and her party entered the store, they also met several Korean star artists who were also eating in the store.
Hong Xiuyan didn't pay attention to the original diners in the store when she entered the store, and took Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao's mother and son to find a vacant seat and sit down, and introduced the history and special food of the store to the two. On the contrary, the Korean star artists who were already eating at the table first noticed Hong Xiuyan who entered the door and took the initiative to come over and say hello to them.
It's not too new to meet celebrities in the circle in this store, Hong Xiuyan saw someone coming to say hello, and she also stood up very politely to say hello to the people one by one, and introduced Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao to each other.
As a Chinese actress, Ye Jiaying is also well-known in Asia. This is the first time she has participated in the Seoul International Film Festival as a director, but it is not the first time she has come to South Korea to participate in the film festival, she has been here a few times before as an actor, so these Korean artists also know Ye Jiaying.
Although Xiao Yao has not been active in South Korea before, he is not low in fame, he has written Korean songs for Hong Xiuyan, and has also performed at American events such as the Oscars, Eva Show Swimsuit Special, Eva Show and the American Professional Basketball Masters, these Korean artists also know Xiao Yao.
So after hearing about the identities of Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao, these Korean artists who met by chance were also quite enthusiastic about Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao.
The group of Korean celebrities who came over are variety show stars, and they are the MCs of a well-known variety show "RunningMan" in South Korea. Like the previous life, "Running Man" is the Chinese version of this show. Before Xiao Yao participated in "Running Man", he also watched the original Korean show on the Internet. Although it was the first time to meet a real person, Xiao Yao also knew the MCs of these original Korean shows. Therefore, Xiao Yao not only showed considerable politeness to them, but also showed a certain sense of closeness.
Since both sides felt good, the main MC of "RunningMan" also suggested that two groups of people eat together.
In addition to being the MC of variety shows, some of them also have other identities such as singers and actors. Huaxia's resource connections are also resource connections, and maybe they will have the opportunity to work in Huaxia when they will have the opportunity. Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao's coffee positions in the Chinese entertainment industry are not low, and if you have the opportunity to get acquainted with them and get closer, these "old fritters" will definitely not miss it.
Hong Xiuyan is no problem with the host, but she has to ask for the opinions of the two guests first. Ye Jiaying had nothing to do, so she let Xiao Yao get an idea.
Whether it was in the previous life or in this world, the MC team of this show was Xiao Yao's favorite and more interested, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.
Ten people gather at a table to eat, and naturally they have to chat while eating. And the content of the chat is naturally mainly focused on the two Chinese stars.
When I heard that Ye Jiaying came to the Seoul International Film Festival with a movie, the main MC named Yoon Sedol also talked about the film festival in passing, and said that they also did a program with the theme of the Seoul International Film Festival last week.
Hearing Yoon Sedol mention the recording of their show, Hong Xiuyan immediately remembered Xiao Yaolai. Hong Xiuyan knew that Xiao Yao had participated in Huaxia's "Running Man" program, so she asked Xiao Yao if he was interested in participating in the recording of Korean variety shows.
Hong Xiuyan has developed so smoothly in Huaxia and has a certain relationship with Xiao Yao. Correspondingly, Hong Xiuyan also wanted to repay this younger brother. Although Xiao Yao may not necessarily come to South Korea for development, as a singer and actor, there should always be opportunities to come to South Korea for concerts or movie promotion, and it is not a bad thing to increase his popularity and popularity in South Korea. And when it comes to enhancing fame, this national variety show with Yoon Sedol as the MC is definitely a good choice.
Hearing Hong Xiuyan's words, Yoon Sedol's eyes lit up. Before Xiao Yao could answer Hong Xiuyan, Yin Sedol opened his mouth and sent an invitation to Xiao Yao.
Among the people at their big table, only Ye Jiaying can't speak Korean. Those MCs spoke English when communicating with Ye Jiaying, and Xiao Yao always spoke Korean when communicating with them. Although they all knew that Xiao Yao had written Korean songs for Hong Xiuyan, they didn't expect Xiao Yao to be so fluent in Korean, and they expressed a burst of surprise when they first met and greeted them.
They also invited foreign celebrity guests in that program, but due to language barriers, foreign celebrity guests wore translation headphones to record the whole process, which inevitably had some more restrictions. It will also be a highlight of the show if you can invite a foreign guest with no barriers to Korean communication to participate in the recording of the program, not to mention a popular guest with a high reputation in China and the United States. So as soon as Yin Sedol heard Hong Xiuyan's words, he was immediately moved.
Of course, it is not so casual to invite guests to a program, but this is only a preliminary contact, and it is not a big problem to ask about cooperation intentions. Although Yoon Sedol is not the director or the chief PD of the show, he is the main MC of the show, and he can also be said to be the soul of the MC team and the show, and his right to speak is also quite high. If he identifies a guest, most of the program team will actively strive for it.
Xiao Yao has recorded the Chinese version of "Running Man", and it is also a very interesting thing to go to the original version of South Korea to record a show. But now, Xiao Yao's interest is not very great. On the one hand, Xiao Yao's time is not so free. Of course, the matter of the movie soundtrack is not impossible to postpone in the past, but Xiao Yao is now participating in variety shows, most of them to "carry private goods", with the purpose of publicity by the way.
The participation of "127 Hours" in the Seoul International Film Festival this time is also a point that can be promoted, but Xiao Yao knows that he can't use this show to promote the movie.
This show is once a week, usually recorded on Monday and broadcast on Sunday. If Xiao Yao wants to participate in the recording of this show, the fastest will be the episode recorded next Monday.
Yoon Sedol just said that their program recorded a film festival-themed program last week, and that episode will definitely be broadcast during the film festival, and even if he records the program next Monday, it will be in the next episode of the festival-themed program. The film festival lasts for a total of ten days, and by the time your program is broadcast, the film festival will definitely be over, and you will still be publicizing!
Xiao Yao just has no intention of going to this show as a guest recently, and he is not sure that he will not go in the future. He expressed great interest in this program to Yoon Sedol and others, and also said that it was a great honor to participate in this program, but he had limited time, and he did not have time to participate in the recording of the program when he came to South Korea this time, and hoped that there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future.
The reason why Xiao Yao said this is because the movie "127 Hours" has not yet been released in South Korea, and there may be a need to promote this movie in South Korea in the future.
This time I came to the film festival, and Ye Jiaying also wanted to talk to the Korean distribution company about copyright or sharing after the film festival. If the film has won something at the film festival, or has received a good reputation and response, then Ye Jiaying can also grasp more initiative when discussing cooperation with Korean distribution companies.
However, from the negotiation of cooperation to the scheduled release, I don't know how long the interval will take, and it is not necessarily whether the interval is long or short. If you go to record "RunningMan" next Monday, the film festival is not over yet, and the cooperation may not be negotiated yet, let alone the release schedule, and there is no way to start this promotion.
As for whether Xiao Yao needs to fly to South Korea to promote the movie after the schedule for the release of the movie in South Korea is confirmed, Ye Jiaying did not ask for it, it depends on whether Xiao Yao is free at that time.
Although Xiao Yao rejected Yin Shishi, this answer was at least very polite, so Yin Shishi was not dissatisfied, so he turned the conversation and talked about something else.
After eating a meal, Yin Sedol and several other Korean celebrities have a pretty good feeling about Xiao Yao. When the table was dismissed, the two sides also exchanged contact information.
After saying goodbye to Yoon Sedol and the others, Hong Xiuyan took Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao for a walk, looked at the night view of Seoul, and then sent them back to the hotel.
At about nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Hong Xiuyan took her assistant to the hotel where Xiao Yao was staying again. According to the agreement agreed yesterday, she will take Xiao Yao to visit KM's headquarters.
Xiao Yao, who has always insisted on exercising early, has no habit of lying in bed, and has been waiting for Hong Xiuyan for a long time. Hong Xiuyan sent a message to Xiao Yao after arriving at the hotel lobby, and Xiao Yao came down in a few minutes.
Xiao Yao's hotel is not too far from KM's headquarters, less than half an hour's drive away. It didn't take long for Hong Xiuyan to take Xiao Yao to KM's headquarters building.
KM is one of the three giants in the field of talent management in the Korean entertainment industry, and the headquarters building looks quite magnificent. However, for the "well-informed" Xiao Yao, this ten-story building did not make him feel much shocked, what interested him was the things in this building.
Hong Xiuyan thought about Xiao Yao's use of the recording studio, and first took him to visit several recording studios in the company.
As a giant company in the Korean entertainment industry, KM's recording studio equipment is also top-notch. Xiao Yao felt very satisfied after reading it, and expressed his interest that he wanted to give it a try.
Hong Xiuyan took Xiao Yao to see a recording studio that was not being used, and there was no one in it. I heard that Xiao Yao wanted to try these equipment, so I wanted my assistant to find a few recording studio staff to help Xiao Yao introduce them. As a result, Xiao Yao listened to it but said no. Although these equipment and equipment are top-notch, and there are some of the latest things, none of them are unknown to Xiao Yao and cannot operate. Xiao Yao asked Hong Xiuyan, but he just felt that after all, it was someone else's thing, and before moving, it was best to ask for permission from the owner's family, that is, the person in charge of managing these recording studios.
In this regard, Hong Xiuyan didn't ask anyone again. With a wave of his big hand, Xiao Yao went to tinker. With her position in the company, she still has access to an unused recording studio. The official studio version of the song "Little Lucky" that she collaborated with Xiao Yao was recorded by Xiao Yao, and she is very confident in Xiao Yao's professionalism and ability in this regard, and she is not afraid that Xiao Yao will break things blindly.
Xiao Yao went to the recording room to try out a few musical instruments, tried microphones, headphones and other equipment, and tinkered with the console and the computer next to him for a while, and then simply took advantage of his temperament to record a music sample, and finally listened to it, and felt that the effect in all aspects was very good, so he made renting the recording studio here his first choice.
Although the decision was made to rent the recording studio here, there was no rush to discuss this matter with the relevant person in charge of KM. Xiao Yao came here this time to visit, satisfy his curiosity and insight, so after coming out of the recording studio, Xiao Yao said that he wanted to see the rehearsal room of KM company, and asked Hong Xiuyan to take him to various rehearsal rooms in the company.
The rehearsal room, Xiao Yao's own recording studio in Yin Xi's studio in Shencheng, and the recording studio of Qi Jia Studio in Yanjing, even if the recording studios and rehearsal rooms in Huaxia and South Korea are different, the difference will not be too big. Xiao Yao came here this time to see people, whether it is a group artist who has debuted or a trainee who has not debuted, what Xiao Yao wants to see most is the way and appearance of Korean artists practicing, so he also emphasized to Hong Xiuyan that he wanted to go to the rehearsal room where people were rehearsing.
