Chapter 176: Making an Exception
The other members listened to Director Kim's sincere tirade, and they really couldn't help but have a sense of identity in their hearts, if it was really like what he said, then this opportunity would indeed be very helpful to them and to the company.
Only Sunny, who should have had this emotion the most, was the most sober at this time, and was not affected by Kim Joo-young's mouth at all.
Calmly asked, "Director Jin, if there are companies from other countries that have such a request next time, and it happens that they are also very helpful to S.M., do we have to make an exception again?"
As soon as this question came out, the other members immediately recovered from the effect of mouth retreat, and the slightest sense of identity with the company that had just occurred disappeared in an instant.
Kim Joo-young didn't expect it to be Sunny who objected, originally he thought that this persuasion task should only be a very principled one, and it would be difficult to deal with.
However, this kind of difficult question is not difficult for Jin Zhuying, he shook his head with a smile and replied: "Other countries or companies are definitely not as large and special as the Huaxia market, it can be said that this is the only special case, as long as the Huaxia market is opened, it is impossible for this situation to occur again in the future." ”
Without waiting for the other members to react, after listening to Kim Joo-young's mouth again, Xu Xian finally couldn't help but speak, and directly retorted: "No matter how special this time is, but the promise is to be kept, if we listen to the head of the room this time and break the promise backtracking, then there will definitely be a next one in the future, and this promise will have no meaning in existence!"
The other members listened to Xu Xian's statement and nodded involuntarily, obviously agreeing with Xu Xian's idea.
Seeing this, Kim Joo-young knew that they had already taken precautions, and if they didn't pay certain conditions, it would definitely be difficult to change their minds about refusal.
So he made a condition to fight for from the president, "In fact, the president just promised that as long as you can successfully reach a cooperation with the Penguin Group this time, you can not only renew the contract, but also improve appropriately."
And the company will also give you more autonomy in your future activities, such as the time of return, album content, concert arrangements, fan benefits, etc., which can be discussed and written into the contract at that time. ”
Recently, everyone in Girls' Generation is negotiating with S.M. for the renewal of their contracts and the team, and the renewal will be completed by the end of the day tour at the latest, so time is running out.
The nine have basically confirmed that they will renew the contract of all S.M., but the specific conditions have not been negotiated, and the main disagreement is that the company and their ideas about the control of the group are too different.
They want to be able to dominate most of the events in the future, so that they can better show the fans what they want to show.
But the company wants everything to be business as usual, whether it is the preparation of the album or the content of the concert, they want to continue to hold it in their hands, but they promise to give them part of the right to advise.
In fact, this right is equal to nothing, because with their qualifications, they can now put forward opinions on some small issues.
But it's all things that have nothing to do with the overall situation, such as the title song of the album, the return time, and the arrangement of the concert, which still need to be fully led by the company.
Even if they don't like some of the songs on the album, they don't have the right to change them, or they don't want to participate in certain trips.
In the previous contract renewal negotiations, the company has been unwilling to make concessions on this right, because they are afraid that this will make them lose control of the time, and the two sides will have more conflicts on some issues.
Although the conditions given by Kim Joo-young were very tempting, Xu Xian still insisted on his opinion, "This was originally a condition for us to renew the contract, how can the company exchange this for this!"
Kim Joo-young shook his head and said: "I believe that from the previous negotiations, you should be able to see that the company will definitely not agree to those conditions, and it is estimated that the best result is to make some concessions on an issue, such as albums, schedules or concerts."
But as long as this cooperation can be reached, the company will try its best to agree to all your conditions, even if it is not successful, as long as you go, the company will also make certain concessions on the issue of renewing the contract. ”
Hearing Kim Joo-young say that no matter whether it succeeds or not, the company will make concessions on the renewal of the contract, which can't help but make some members excited.
Jessica was the first to speak, "If what the head of the room said is true, then we can think about it, but let's discuss it collectively first, can you please go out for a while?"
When Xu Xian heard this, he wanted to say something again, but was stopped by Jessica's glare.
And as soon as Kim Joo-young heard that they were going to discuss, he knew that this matter should be stable, after all, as long as a few members agreed, the advertiser did not want all of them to attend.
After Kim Joo-young and the three left, Jessica said earnestly: "This contract renewal is very important to us, we have been debuting for seven years, how long can we continue to be popular, so we must plan for our future next."
If we can get more autonomy this time, we will be able to arrange our own itinerary more reasonably, like the predecessors of mythology, usually in different fields, and get together at a specific time to release albums and hold concerts. ”
Everyone knows that what Jessica said is the reality, and in South Korea, a country with an extremely developed idol culture, it is destined that it is difficult for any group to thrive for a long time.
Red as HOT, Crystal Boy, GOD, etc., couldn't escape the curse of disbandment at the beginning, in addition to the fact that there have been outstanding juniors, more reasons are caused by the contradictions between the company and the group.
It is only the mythical combination that has complete autonomy that has achieved the miracle of not dissolving and continuing its glory to this day.
And they rely on what Jessica said, to rationalize the direction of individual and team development, but to do this, they must have more autonomy.
The others listened to Jessica's words and couldn't help but nod in agreement, after all, they wanted more autonomy in the first place, not only so that fans could see a better Girls' Generation, but also to make the Girls' Generation group survive for a longer time.
Only Xu Xian still doesn't agree with the ideas of his sisters.
Lin Yun'er saw her thoughts and took the lead in speaking: "Xiaoxian, we just reached a verbal agreement with the company at the beginning.
Therefore, when renewing the contract this time, we must write the clause of not participating in cocktail parties, banquets and other activities in the future into the contract, so that the company will definitely not be able to ask us to go for any reason.
As for this time, the Ernnies know you don't like this kind of thing, so you don't have to go, just go home.
Anyway, the head of the room just said that only three people are enough, Ernie usually participates in this kind of party when filming, so I'll go this time!"
In fact, as an actor, it is still very common to participate in this type of party, start, finish, and relax, there are three fixed parties, not to mention that some crews like to have dinner parties when they have nothing to do.
Jessica also said coldly at this time: "Since I brought it up first, then I will also count me in!"
As the captain of Girls' Generation, Kim Taeyeon is of course responsible for this kind of thing, so he said: "I'll be the last one, since there are enough people, let's call the head of the Kim room in." ”
Then, as soon as Taeyeon's words fell, Sunny pulled her over, patted her cheek, and said with a look of disdain, "What are you doing at this kind of party?
The originally serious atmosphere collapsed in an instant at this moment, and the other members burst out laughing when they watched Sunny's movements, even Seo Hyun, who was still struggling with this issue.
"It's not like I haven't participated before, I've never had this kind of situation, as long as I keep pretending to drink, a glass of red wine until the end, how simple it is!"
Kim Taeyeon didn't show weakness at all, and directly moved out of her glorious deeds, and finally didn't forget to fight back: "Let you go, I'm not at ease, who knows if you will be addicted to drinking, just go crazy or something, and scare the advertisers away!"
Sunny was speechless when he heard this: "Am I so unreliable?" However, I really want to go, I guess there are Huaxia's high-level executives, they will definitely open a bottle of Huaxia's good bar, this kind of opportunity can't be missed!"
When the others heard why Sunny wanted to go, they immediately disdained it!
Only Cui Poison seemed to remember something, and looked at Lin Yun'er with a puzzled expression, "Yun'er, tell me honestly, you won't take the initiative to ask to go because you want to eat something delicious, right?"
When Lin Yun'er heard this, she was a little surprised at first, and then pretended to have a small expression of weakness after being discovered.
And the other members also happened to see it at this time, and they were even more speechless, even Xu Xian had forgotten to dwell on the issue of commitment, and she could only smile helplessly at the strange ideas of Ernies.
