Chapter 1134: An Invitation to a Dinner
At the end of the conversation, Sunny makes a surprise proposal to Han Woo, and at the same time, she also talks about something that Han Woo hadn't thought of before, or that he hadn't thought of for a while.
For fans, the so-called idol group is a group of unusual people who get together and make up an unusual name, but in fact, in the entertainment industry, a group of artists can represent a name, but a name does not necessarily represent that group of artists.
To give a very simple and famous example, as a veritable "myth" in an idol group, the members of the mythical group spent almost everything in order to be able to get rid of SM together with this name, and the savings saved by each member after their debut almost became a "sacrifice" to fill SM's gluttonous mouth.
Some people say that running an idol group is like running a brand.
This statement is biased, but in a sense, it is quite true.
Running a brand, as long as it is managed properly, it is possible to inherit it for a long time, but running an idol group, no matter how beautiful it is at its peak, will eventually disappear into time as the members get older.
The only thing the two have in common is that they may both leave a glorious name that is not worth it.
There are not many idol groups that can leave some traces in history, or it should be said that there are very few, but Girls' Generation will definitely be one of them.
A sentence of "the peak of the girl group" is enough to say everything.
In this case, even Han Yu knew that even if he gathered all the nine members of Girls' Generation, there was a great chance that he would not be able to get the name that had been run by the nine girls to become a legend.
"GirlsGeneration (Girls' Generation)", the name of this group, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a word of gold, or even a word of ten thousand gold, and it is more likely that SM will not even open the price code.
There are things that you know will no longer have any value if you hold them in your hands, but you still won't want to let go.
The words "Girls' Generation" are just that.
With this name, SM will leave a strong mark in the history of the Korean entertainment industry, and selling this name is equivalent to sharing more than half of the glory that originally belonged to him to others, and the most important thing is that that person still poached his own "cash cow" The big enemy!
Han Yu privately contacted the members of Girls' Generation, causing them to jump to Leon Entertainment one by one, and such an act is more than "prying the corner". No matter how popular Girls' Generation is, they are still the biggest economic pillar of SM, coupled with their great reputation, Han Yu is equivalent to moving away the entire faΓ§ade of SM's house, and the rest of the people, TVXQ has long been no longer popular, and none of the new and old groups have become successful.
After thinking about it carefully, it is not too much to say that Han Yu is copying SM's old bottom.
Sitting in the car to Incheon Airport, Han Yu looked out the window of the car alone and pondered for a long time, and finally took out his mobile phone from his arms and made a call to Yin Ji.
"I thought you should be on your way to a flight right now. β
The familiar cold female voice soon sounded in her ears, and her tone sounded as flat as ever, but in the middle of the night at the end of autumn, which was getting colder, it made Han Yu feel a little inexplicable warmth in his heart.
He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and then in the soft light in the carriage, he held his mobile phone and whispered, "Yes...... I was indeed on my way to catch a flight. β
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Yin Zhi's calm voice came back again:
"What's wrong?"
Instead of asking about the outcome of the conversation with Sunny, or saying some polite words to congratulate the winner, President Yoon's style has always been so simple and brutal and straight to the point.
She knew that Han Yu must have called her for something.
If you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Palace, this sentence is sometimes put on a man's body, and it is about equivalent to a derogatory term.
At least even Yin Zhi himself wouldn't believe that the man who was talking to him on the other end of the phone at this time would have nothing to talk to him.
If that were the case, perhaps she would have been silent on her face, and she would have been surprised in her heart.
"Hmm...... After talking with Sunny just now, the negotiation was final. β
However, Han Yu's next unthinking answer still very simply shattered the faint expectation that might exist in Yin Zhi's heart.
On the other side of the phone, the bright and moving face seemed to add a little coldness in an instant, Yin Zhi was not silent for too long, and after a few seconds, he held the mobile phone in one hand, lowered his head and continued to work, while asking: "Judging by your reaction, it seems that we can't gather nine people." β
"Right...... Finally, after a tie with Taeyeon, so-yeon also quieted down, which can be regarded as acquiescing in our behavior. But now it seems that my original idea was a little too ideal. β
Han Yu's voice on the phone was very soft, a little hoarse, and seemed to have a faint tiredness.
The continuous work in the past few months, the many problems of himself and the people around him, coupled with the fact that he has been running back and forth day and night for the past few days, has brought a lot of burden to his mental and physical body.
As if hearing the imperceptible tiredness in his words, the pen in Yin Zhi's hand that had been writing paused slightly, and then the voice of his voice gradually softened quietly.
She held her phone and still sounded casual and asked, "So, what is the result?"
"She's going to stay at SM and she's very adamant. I couldn't convince her. β
Even the boss himself said that he couldn't convince himself, as a qualified subordinate, Yin Zhi naturally wouldn't contradict any suggestions to send professionals to lobby, she just nodded lightly, and then asked, "What else?"
The possibility that Sunny wouldn't leave SM had been anticipated in their plans for a long time, and there was no reason for Han Woo to call him for this matter.
"But...... Sunny makes a proposal. β
"She wants to sign a separate combination contract with us?" asked Yin Zhi directly with no surprise on his face.
Han Yu on the other end of the phone sat in the car and immediately chuckled, and then said, "Sure enough." I find that compared to Sunny and others, even compared to you, who has been in the entertainment industry for a shorter time than me, I behave more like an outsider. It seems that I am really not suitable to be the president. β
"As the president, you just need to tell your people what you want to do, and we'll do the rest for you. Yin Zhi's face did not change and he held his mobile phone and said, "Otherwise...... And why do people climb to high positions?"
Han Yu was obviously stunned, but after a while, he laughed uncontrollably, and his originally slightly low tone seemed to be a little more relaxed in an instant.
"Right...... You're right. It seems that if I want to live a little more comfortably in the future, I can't live without you. β
Here, the "you" in Han Yu's mouth should refer to "you", but after Yin Zhi heard it, he pursed his red lips imperceptibly, and the pen in his hand paused again.
No matter what, just think of it as the "overtime pay" that this guy gives himself to work hard every day during this time. Anyway, no one heard it, so I'll follow this sentence alone.
Under the cold and beautiful face that did not change at all, thoughts that were unknown to outsiders echoed silently in his heart, and Yin Zhi silently continued to bow his head and read the documents.
"So, what are you going to do now?"
Han Yu on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly and said, "It's not what I want to do now, it's what SM wants." Also, I was just reminded by Sunny about something...... Do we have any hope of getting the name 'Girls' Generation'?"
"There are very few things in the world that are priceless, and if SM really cares about profit as it is rumored, then we have a good degree of confidence that we will buy the name from it. Yin Zhi immediately gave an answer, and she had already considered this matter, "The question now is how much we have to pay, that is, how big is SM's appetite." β
"How much do you think SM will want?" Han Yu asked.
"It's hard to say. Yin Zhi replied honestly, "Although our people are experienced, because LJ's business has never involved projects in the entertainment industry before, it is difficult for us to make estimates." On top of that, there's something quite strange. β
"What's the matter?"
"I investigated and found that SM had not registered the name 'Girls' Generation' for so many years. Yin Zhi, who is accustomed to the style of American companies that pay attention to their own property rights, obviously finds it difficult to understand SM's approach.
"It doesn't seem surprising. Han Yu was not surprised, he sat in the car and shook his head, "I heard that the mythical group was like this back then. The name of the idol group is not like other commercial brands, even if SM is not registered, it still has a unique right to use it, and at a critical moment, this dispensable thing will become a tool for the agency to clamp down on the artist. β
Or the best way to retaliate. β
After listening to Han Yu's words, Yin Zhi didn't explore this kind of thing anymore, and there was a different kind of coldness in Qingyue's voice without ups and downs: "I feel that you Koreans seem to have a special cautious eye. Even if you have squeezed enough benefits from others, you will not hesitate to take the trouble to bite the other party again, as if the person who is sorry is yourself. β
"What 'you Koreans'?" Han Yu suddenly laughed dumbly, and said more seriously, "I still have at least half of the same Chinese blood as you!"
"After tonight, you, the Blue Dragon actor, will become a complete 'Korean'. Even if not, you have to be. Yin Zhi didn't care about his boss's face at all, and said word by word.
Han Yu, who was sitting in the car, laughed again, and didn't say anything after thinking about it.
Tonight's award for him, maybe Yin Zhi doesn't know the many twists and turns behind him, but the title of this actor is indeed really worn on his head.
After learning the truth of the matter from Park Buhua not long ago, Han Yu hung up the phone without saying a word.
He doesn't have anything to say to his really blood relatives at the moment, and he doesn't want to be stupid enough to ask for a "fair selection".
There is no fairness in this world, and there is no unearned gain.
You get, you have to give.
Even though...... That's what someone else shoehorned into your arms.
"By the way, I just had something to mention to you. β
"What's the matter?"
Suddenly, Yin Zhi spoke again.
"Girls' Generation Kwon Yoo-ri, a few days to celebrate her birthday, do you know about this?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"The conditions she negotiated with us for job hopping are very simple, in line with her future actor development route, the treatment is the same as SM, but there is a ......"
Yin Zhi's tone became very strange.
"She asks you to go to a candlelit dinner with her on her birthday, just the two of you, alone. β
Suddenly, Han Yu was stunned when he heard this.
