Operational meeting part 2

"Clever!" Ning Yi gave Zheng Ronghe an approving look, "My plan is like this." Covenant, it still has to be continued, but the conditions can be changed a little more specially. ”

"Something special?" Zheng Jinghao couldn't help leaning forward, talking about the renewal of the contract, Xiuying was actually very embarrassed. It's not that she is particularly demanding about the renewal conditions, the main thing is that Zheng Jinghao is not too young anymore, and she can't let Zheng Jinghao wait so hard. Zheng Jinghao understands Xiuying's thoughts very well, but he can't persuade Xiuying to say that you can renew the contract, it's okay if we don't get married, then his parents will tear him apart, and Xiuying's parents will never agree. So Jung Kyung-ho could only silently agonize about Xiuying's distress. Zheng Jinghao was actually very happy when he received Ning Yi's call. Everyone here now is facing the same problem as him, but sooner or later. With his brothers and sisters around him, Zheng Jinghao instantly felt a lot more comfortable, "What kind of special law?"

"In China, most artists will set up their own studios after becoming famous, some of them will operate alone in the name of the studio, and some will attach their studios to the name of the company to reduce the trouble of independent operation. In return for using the company's name, they pay the company a percentage of their income. Under this model, the company only has the right to make suggestions and no decisions about the studio, and in fact, the studio is completely autonomous. The studio and the company are more of a partnership than a subordinate relationship as it is now. So if we can get SM to agree to Girls' Generation to set up their own personal studio, then they will have a lot more freedom, and we can decide a lot of things directly without SM's consent. In this way, all the problems that everyone is worried about can be properly resolved. ”

"That's a good idea, but it's hard to do!" Jung Kyung-ho frowned, "I don't know much about what the situation in China is, but here in South Korea, the company has absolute control over its idols, even if it is as strong as GD and Taeyeon, you have to listen to the company obediently." If you set up a personal studio exclusive to Girls' Generation according to your idea, it is equivalent to us snatching most of the meat that originally belonged to them from SM's mouth, or the best piece, SM is absolutely impossible to agree. ”

Jung Yong-ho nodded silently, Jung Kyung-ho is an actor and has limited knowledge of idol. But he is a pure idol background, and Zheng Ronghe is definitely the only person here who understands the rules of the idol circle. Do Korean artists have set up studios? The answer is yes, and there are many more. But is there any idol among them? Zheng Yonghe can responsibly say that there is none. Unlike actors, the only way idols want to maintain their popularity is to keep on TV and let the audience remember their faces. And if you want to do this, you need someone to support it, most of the resources in the idol circle are monopolized by the three major companies, as long as the three major companies don't allow it, do you want to show your face on TV?

Not to mention anything else, look at SM's runaway idols, in addition to myths, there are a few who can still show their faces on TV. It is precisely because the status of the company and the idol is so unequal that the idol will always be in a weak position when negotiating terms with the company.

In addition to this, resources are also important. In the company, there are ready-made costume artists and makeup artists to design your style, professional dance teachers to choreograph dances for you, experienced planners to design promotional plans for you, set album themes, concert styles, and so on. You can also hire famous lyricists and composers to create songs for you, arrange for you to appear in various magazines, participate in various events, or arrange for you to appear in TV dramas and movies.

And if you set up a personal studio, will you be able to find so many professionals? Can you find so many resources in various fields? And even if you do, do you know how to manage? Do you have so much money to support the independent operation of a personal studio? Even if you really have the management talent and can keep the studio in order, will you still have the time and energy to focus on your idol career at that time? These are all the reasons that prevent idol from setting up a personal studio.

Another issue is the impact, at present, no company in South Korea has a precedent for setting up a personal studio for its idols (except for the exception of Zhang Yixing and Song Qian). If SM really agrees with Ning Yi's idea, it is equivalent to going against the entire music company in the music industry (you leader can play like this, we small companies can't afford to play this kind of game to set up a personal studio for our idol at every turn). Everyone is clamoring to set up their own studios, how can we make money? You are taking the lead in digging the foundation of everyone's money!)

Even if SM has a thick arm and doesn't care about other people's opinions, what about its own idol? Girls' Generation can set up its own studio, so why can't we? What? Girls' Generation has a special reason? I'm sorry! I don't want to hear it! I know that since Girls' Generation can set up a personal studio, then I can definitely do it too. If everyone opened their own studios, what money would SM still make?(SM: Just look at my name, I wouldn't be such a kind person. οΌ‰

Based on the above reasons, Zheng Ronghe is not very optimistic about Ning Yi's personal studio approach, compared to the method of setting up a personal studio, Zheng Ronghe feels that it is better to use the identity and social influence of these people here to collectively put pressure on SM, and strive to make Girls' Generation have a more favorable renewal conditions to be more realistic.

"Ronghe!" Ning Yi was amused by Zheng Ronghe's ever-changing expression, "I didn't make this decision recklessly with a pat on the head. I know you think this is unrealistic, but I want to tell you that it's not as hard as you think. ”

"Oh?" Zheng Ronghe raised his eyebrows, through several meetings with Ning Yi, he also felt that Ning Yi was not like that kind of naΓ―ve person. Among other things, Ning Yi's personal studio in China has been very successful, which proves that Ning Yi is very clear about the conditions required for the establishment of the studio, and he has the ability to run a successful studio. Zheng Ronghe actually never doubted whether Ning Yi had the ability to run this studio well, he was worried that Ning Yi didn't understand the actual situation in South Korea, but Zheng Ronghe of China had been there for a long time, and the difference between the entertainment circles of the two countries was very big.

"There are only two conditions for setting up a studio!" Ning Yi stretched out two fingers, "Funds and resources!" But in fact, these two can be combined into one condition. Ning Yi withdrew a finger, "It's money! And money!" Ning Yi looked around at the people who were listening to him carefully (Ning Yi, the person in the bar who was still bowing his head and wiping his cup, didn't let go), "It should be the most important thing we need now!"

"Needless to say!" Fang Ge put his hands on Li Ke and Lin Mosheng's shoulders respectively, "Stomp your feet, the big man in the United States and South Korea will tremble three times, but he is sitting here!"

"What about you?" Li Ke glanced at the square angrily, "Won't China tremble three times if you stomp your foot?"

"It's still possible for me to inherit the family business in the future, but now!" Fang Ge grinned stupidly, "I'm a rich second generation who lives in a mess, and I can't compare with you two!"

"What you say is too polite!" Lin Mosheng grabbed Fang Ge's wrist, "If you are willing to give birth to a grandson for your father, you can inherit the family business at any time!"

"This concubine can't do it!" Fang Ge looked at Lin Mosheng with teary eyes, "How can I do this kind of big thing alone? If the leader doesn't approve it, everything is in vain! Besides, what are you doing when you have a child? Do you mess up the two-person world that I have so hard to get? I am not short of money, why should I rush to inherit my father's inheritance, and if I lie at the desk every day and read documents, I will have a short life!"

"You mean the two of us will die before you?" Lin Mosheng raised the corners of his mouth without smiling.

"Well, this!" Fang Ge looked at Lin Mosheng, who was smiling gloomily, and then looked at Fang Ge, who was rattling his fists, but he didn't say what he really thought in his heart, "You two don't seem to be short-lived, you should live a long time!"

"Are they off topic?" Ye Luo, who had been listening silently and did not speak, turned his head to Ning Yi. "Aren't we talking about how to set up our own studio?"

"They really digress!" Ning Yi pulled the stool forward, "If you get used to this kind of thing, you will feel that it is nothing! Anyway, they have no other use except for money, so let them go!"

"Hey, I don't like to hear that!" Fang Ge stopped joking with Lin Mosheng and Li Ke, "I've been in Korea for so long, and I know the situation in the Korean entertainment industry very well!"

"Really?" Ning Yi looked at Fang Ge in surprise, "Since you know so much about the Korean entertainment industry, then you have to do this important thing!" Ning Yi handed a black folder in front of him to Fang Ge. "I'm sure you'll be able to get this done, and we'll be impressed!"

"That's a must!" Fang Ge brushed his hair very stiffly and opened the folder, "Although I am a rich second generation, I am a rich second generation who is very pursuing and capable, no matter what you entrust me, I will definitely do it beautifully... What is this?" Fang Ge read out the contents of the document in confusion, "The studio needs to recruit a list of personnel, five stylists, three professional choreographers, two teams of promotion and planning professionals, and a band?

"That's right!" Ning Yi nodded definitely, "You are not very familiar with the Korean entertainment industry, this job of recruiting employees is simply tailor-made for you!"

"But!" Fang felt like he had jumped into the pit on his own initiative, "There are too many people you want to recruit, right?

"You're not professional!" Ning Yi turned sideways and smiled evilly, "This list of recruiters was formulated by me with reference to the personnel that SM has allocated for Girls' Generation in the past and the personnel composition of many small music companies, it may be a little biased in subtleties, but it will not be too big." So you can rest assured that you will be recruited according to this list, and there will never be too much mistake!"

"But!" Fang Ge still wanted to struggle, he was very familiar with the directors of several music companies in South Korea, yes, but he was not familiar with those choreographers and makeup artists! There were also planning and publicity and public relations personnel, where did he know this kind of person? Ning Yi didn't know if he wanted to cheat him! Everyone was a cheating father, why did Ning Yi like cheating alone?

"Don't be!" Li Ke, who received Ning Yi's eyes, couldn't help but hug Fang Ge's shoulder, "There must be no problem for you to do this kind of trivial matter! Let's hurry up and start the next topic! Xiaoyuan and I have already made an appointment to have dinner with friends tonight!"

"Ok!" Ning Yi started the next topic with kindness, completely ignoring Fang Ge's pleading eyes, "The location of the studio has been tentatively set in the office building of the Li Group, Brother Li Ke said that a separate floor can be made for the studio, I think this area should be able to meet the space needs of the studio." ”

"Wow!" Fang Ge was stunned by Li Ke's generosity, when the office building of the Li Group was just completed two months ago, Fang Ge went to attend the inauguration ceremony, according to the data he visually measured, the area of the first floor of the Li Group is enough to open ten studios with complete supporting facilities, but Li Ke wants to take it out for Girls' Generation, Fang Ge suddenly feels that he may see the scene of Girls' Generation riding a bicycle in the studio in the future.

Ignoring Fang Ge's frowning, Ning Yi continued to talk about the results he had come up with after discussing with Li Ke, "If the staff and the place of work are solved, the next thing is the problem of resources." There shouldn't be much of a problem with songs, and even if all the Korean songwriters and lyricists are crazy and don't want to write songs for Girls' Generation, we can find the right people from elsewhere to do it. There will be no problem with the magazine pictorial show, and I promise that they will only have better resources in this area than SM if they are independent. Film and television are a little problematic, but as long as we are willing to invest appropriately in certain film and television works, I believe that no one will refuse our kindness. Then there are the issues of album production and concerts, which I believe will be easy to handle as long as I have one experience. So on the whole, it's really not a difficult thing to set up a personal studio. ”

"Then who is going to run this studio?" Ye Luo finally brushed up his sense of existence, "We are not professionals in this area, no matter who runs it, it's not appropriate!"

"This is easy to say!" Ning Yi confidently picked up the folder at hand, and slapped a stack of files on the table, "This is a few management talents that I asked friends and headhunters to help me find during this time, I will send the specific information to everyone's mailbox later, everyone will see which one is more appropriate, and I will arrange someone to talk to him after deciding." ”

Glancing at the stack of files under Ning Yi, Zheng Ronghe's mouth opened silently, he admitted that Ning Yi thought very thoroughly, according to Ning Yi's plan, even if there will be a little inevitable run-in period in the early stage, the studio will run very smoothly in the end. There is one thing that Ning Yi said is very reasonable, the most important thing in opening a studio is money, as long as the problem of money is solved, other problems are not a problem.

But there is a premise for all this, SM will agree to set up a studio independently from time to time, and if this condition cannot be met, everything they just discussed will be in vain.

"Oh yes!" Ning Yi seemed to see what Zheng Ronghe wanted to say, and opened his mouth to add, "Negotiate this matter with SM, I will try to talk to SM with Brother Li Ke and Fang Ge first." Theoretically, there shouldn't be much of a problem, but given the recent situation, it's still necessary to be prepared for both. So!" Ning Yi looked at Lin Mosheng, "If there is an unplanned problem, you may have to use your strength!"

"noproblem!" Lin Mosheng smiled elegantly, "ready to serve at any time!"

"Then there's the issue of health. Ning Yi's gaze shifted to Ye Luo, "Idol is a profession that is easy to get injured, and I think it is necessary to equip everyone with a few professional health care doctors. ”

"That's easy to say!" Ye Luo smiled faintly, "I'll prepare the right person." ”

"Then please!" Ning Yi squinted and smiled. "Brother Jinghao, Brother Ronghe, we are not very familiar with the Korean entertainment industry, if there is anything inappropriate in the next action, please don't be polite, you must put it forward in time so that we can correct it in time. ”

"No problem!" both Jung Kyung-ho and Jung Yong-ho agreed very happily.

"OK!" Ning Yi slapped his palm, "Now that everyone has clarified their division of labor, this meeting can be over." We're going to set up a chat room now, and we'll discuss everything about this in the future. Note that you must keep this matter a secret from your girlfriend until it is successful. If they knew, our efforts would be in vain!"

"This is nature!" This is Lin Mosheng and Ye Luo.

"I'll pay attention!" This is Jung Kyung-ho and Jung Yong-ho.

Simply nodded, this is Li Ke.

"I'll build, I'll build! I'll be the leader of the group!"

Taking advantage of the gap between Fang Ge and lowering his head to create a chat room, Ning Yi quietly approached Zheng Jinghao and Zheng Ronghe, "Brother, I have something to tell you two." ”

Zheng Jinghao and Zheng Ronghe glanced at each other and looked at Ning Yi with some confusion.

"Recruiting employees!" Ning Yi glanced at Fang who was still thinking about the name of the chat room with great interest, "Fang probably can't handle it!, so I have to ask the two brothers for more help in this matter!"

"Help is due!" Zheng Jinghao spoke first, "but both of us are not very familiar with the personnel in this area of planning, and we may not be able to help Fang Ge in this!"

"Don't worry!" Ning Yi smiled evilly again, "Actually, I already have a rough selection range for the personnel to be recruited, and I will send you the list of personnel later, and the two of you will select suitable candidates from them, and then hand them over to Fang Ge to discuss." Fang Ge likes to do this kind of tricky work the most, and the three of you will definitely be able to do this very well. ”

Hearing Ning Yi say this, Zheng Jinghao and Zheng Ronghe simultaneously launched a sympathetic look at the still dazed square. To talk to so many people, Fang Ge, this kid, was really miserable by Ning Yi!
