Chapter 24: Mythology

Thinking of this, Li Shenglin picked up the landline on the table and dialed Jiang Jianshuo's phone: "Help me collect information about GOOD Entertainment." ”

"GOOD Entertainment?" Jiang Jianshuo had never heard of this name at all, "When was the company established, and who is the president?"

Li Shenglin paused in his tone: "...... I don't know. Jiang Jianshuo on the other end of the phone paused for a moment and said, "...... Okay, I got it. Then he hung up.

Kang Jian Suk graduated from the Department of Journalism of Korea University, and after graduation, he did not engage in journalism like his classmates, nor did he rely on his father's relationship to enter the TV station. Relying on the relationship between classmates working in the media, Jiang Jianshuo simply collected some information in half an hour and sent it to Li Shenglin in person.

When Bai Haoyu sent the information, Bai Haoyu had already gone back, Jiang Jianshuo looked at Li Shenglin and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want the information of GOOD Entertainment for, president? You said that I had never heard of this name before." ”

Li Shenglin lowered his head and looked at the information, due to the limited time, Jiang Jianshuo could not collect much information, and it was only two pages when he printed it, but it was written inside the scale of GOOD Entertainment Company and the number of staff, which was enough for Li Shenglin to make some judgments.

"You know the myths. Li Shenglin raised his head and explained the matter to Jiang Jianshuo, and explained the matter clearly to his subordinates, so that he could understand Li Shenglin's meaning and do things better. This is also the tacit understanding that Li Shenglin and others cultivated, if Li Shenglin didn't say it, then Jiang Jianshuo wouldn't ask again next time.

There's no reason why Jiang Jianshuo shouldn't know about myths, but what does this have to do with GOOD Entertainment?

"Bai Haoyu and Lao Bai both suggested that I sign Myth. I have a source, Myth is ready to contact GOOD Entertainment, now collect the information of GOOD Entertainment, just to see if the two of them exist in advance. Li Shenglin explained the matter as it was, and only mentioned a word about the source.

"From the current point of view, it is unlikely that Myth and GOOD Entertainment have a tacit understanding. GOOD Entertainment has less than 100 people, and the reason why Myth is optimistic about GOOD Entertainment may be because of the high degree of freedom in the contract. "If you have to rely on a big company, the myth will not be separated from S.M. Is there a better planning company than S.M in Korea?

In the afternoon of the same day, Li Shenglin made the decision to contact the myth.

On May 2, Myth was in a private room in the hotel, Li Shenglin went alone, and Bai Haoyu did not follow. When Li Shenglin arrived, the six people of Mythology had been waiting for a while, and when they pushed open the door of the box, all of them were stunned for a moment and stood up directly.

Li Shenglin didn't expect such a big battle, and was surprised, "Yo, it's all here." "When you enter, you beckoned the others to sit down. Eric, as the captain of the myth, was also the first to speak, "I didn't expect it to be Katsubayashi XI, you came in person. "Oh, you know me?" Li Shenglin was a little stunned.

"At Jongmin's 10,000-person concert, you came out last time. Jin Yi explained after speaking. It turns out that this is the case, which is not surprising, Gao Yaotai and Mythology also debuted at the same time, and it is normal for them to know each other and be connected.

After sitting down, Li Shenglin looked at the six people of Mythology, and suddenly gossiped in his heart, "I'm curious about what is the contradiction between Mythology and S.M? Is it because of some reasons on the Internet that caused Mythology to leave S.M?"

There have been rumors that S.M company and myth have contradicted each other for a long time, and it is rumored on the Internet that Andy was beaten by Lee so-man, resulting in only a mask on stage, and this time the myth broke away from S.M en masse in order to maintain integrity, because Lee so-man wanted to disband the myth and leave only Shin Comet, just like H.O.T left only Ahn Qi-hyun. Regarding the various versions of Liu Chuanguo, a mythical fan in his previous life, although Li Shenglin is not a mythical fan, he has been in contact with fans of mythology and heard some rumors, and the fire of gossip in his heart is even more blazing.

"Mythology wants to follow its own music path, and there is no negotiation with S.M on this point, so we decided to leave S.M collectively after the contract ends, and the news on the Internet is untrue. Eric said the official manifesto on behalf of the myth.

As the captain, Eric is one of the most popular in mythology, with a face that Lee Seung-rim hates very much, and he is a relatively shy and shy person in life. Eric's father is a wealthy Korean-American businessman, he was born in the United States like Andy, and he is also a standard rich second generation, leading the members to work hard to maintain and increase the fame of the mythical group after the myth broke away from S.M, and he is very captain.

Li Shenglin spread his hands in his heart, this was just a little curiosity of his own. Now the two sides are not familiar with each other, and Myth has not decided to sign a contract with SL Entertainment, let alone friendship, not even partners, Eric will not say anything in a shallow manner, and Li Shenglin didn't take it seriously.

After a few pleasantries, Li Shenglin began to get to the point: "I came with great sincerity this time, and I very much want to invite Mythology to join in the position of SL Entertainment. I also brought a draft contract this time, but I'm very sorry that I didn't know that the Myth Club was all present, so I only brought one. ”

Li Shenglin took out a contract and handed it to Eric, who gathered together with the members to look at the contract.

The first article of the contract directly says that all future itineraries of Myth will be negotiated with Mythical members to cooperate, SL Entertainment will not force Mythical members to do things against their will, Mythical members will always maintain the integrity of 6 people, non-Mythical members will decide by themselves, and the company will not add or withdraw one of them without authorization.

This alone touched the mythical 6 people quite a lot.

The contract states that the working relationship between Shinhwa's agent and makeup artist and other staff is the company, and the salary is also borne by the company, and the album released by Shinhwa is produced by Shinhwa itself, and the company cooperates with the distribution, and the income earned by SL Entertainment is 40%.

Why does it seem that the income extracted by the brokerage company is not as much as that allocated to the myth, is there really such a good thing in the world? Mythology several people looked down again, about the mythical support items and other peripheral income companies extract 50% of the net profit, the company will arrange advertising endorsements for the myth, the advertising revenue myth shooting himself gets 30%, the other 70% belongs to the company. This seems to be normal, other concert revenue companies take 3% of the net profits, and the other 70% go to mythology.

In the future, the company will arrange myths to carry out overseas activities, and the company will bear all the costs of overseas activities, and the profit extracted will be at least 7%. This point is only briefly mentioned, without much explanation, and the details can be discussed in detail when the contract is formally drawn up. Judging from these alone, the contract is really sincere and cannot be more sincere.

After reading the contract drafted by Li Shenglin, the mythical 6 people all fell into thought, and no one spoke first. Li Shenglin understands them very well, SL Entertainment's style is almost the exact opposite of S.M's, S.M's desire to control is too strong, and the contract Li Shenglin gave them hardly requires them to do anything.

"According to the contract, is there anything that needs to be done with mythology?" Eric asked cautiously, everything seemed too good, and Eric couldn't be careless, there might be a bigger conspiracy hidden behind the sweetness.

There's nothing to hide, and the myth will know if it joins SL Entertainment, and if you don't join, you won't lose anything. Li Shenglin said honestly, "SL Entertainment does not have a plan for a boy group, I don't know how to cultivate a boy group, and I may need Myth to help the company cultivate a new boy group in the future, but this is a matter for the future, so far the company still has no plan for a boy group." ”

"To tell the truth, Myth is not an artist cultivated by SL Entertainment, there was not much investment in the early stage, and now the company does not have many resources for Mythology, and most of the albums and others in the future of Myth rely on Mythology itself. However, the company still has some connections in the upper echelons and the media, which is a little better than a myth to join a small company. Li Shenglin said the core problem.

"The company's philosophy is to develop healthily with artists, and if the company doesn't have too many resources for myths, then it won't squeeze the value of myths too much. But in other places, there may be myths to do some publicity for the company or something. Li Shenglin added.

The matter was basically opened, and in the end, the result of the discussion of the 6 people of Myth was to go back and think about it, Myth's contract would not expire until the 8th, and even if Myth agreed, he could not join SL Entertainment immediately, and Li Shenglin was not in a hurry.

……

After returning to the company, Li Shenglin saw Bai Haoyu who had nothing to do. He beckoned Bai Haoyu over, "How about the things I asked you to prepare before I left?"

Bai Haoyu said: "Oh, the car you asked me to buy has been modified, and now it is parked in the underground garage, the key is here, but the president you prepared it for Lee Hyori?"

"Congratulations, you got it right. Li Shenglin teased Bai Haoyu, Bai Haoyu didn't react, he didn't know this stalk at all.

After taking the key, Li Shenglin waved his hand happily: "Let's go, let's go and see what the modification looks like." ”

After arriving at the underground garage, Li Shenglin opened the car door and looked at the modification situation and couldn't help but be very satisfied.

Useless fixtures such as gas stoves have been removed, leaving only a small refrigerator to store food and water, and a small bed resting against the back of the car, with high flaps on either side of the bed so that the car doesn't wow even when cornering.

After getting out of the car, Li Shenglin patted Bai Haoyu on the shoulder, "Good job." In the future, you will follow me as an agent, and in the future, when I run the trip, I will also need someone to help me deal with life matters. ”

……

In the underground garage, Lee Hyo-ri looked very surprised when she saw the RV covered with a rain cover when she was called down by Lee Seung-rim, she turned her head and asked Lee Seung-rim, "This is for me?"

Li Shenglin took out the car key, opened the lock with a tick, put the key in Li Xiaoli's hand, and said to her with a smile: "Go in and see if you are satisfied." ”

Li Xiaoli pulled the car door and got into the car, and Li Shenglin followed in and introduced the role of modification for her one by one. Finally, he said: "It is foreseeable that you will be very busy when running the trip, maybe there will not be much spare time throughout the year, and this modification is just to allow you to have a better rest environment on the way, how about it, you are not satisfied?"

Li Xiaoli was very satisfied, but looked at the huge modified RV and hesitated, "This car cost a lot of money." ”

Li Shenglin didn't take money seriously at all, "It only cost 300,000 US dollars, and the most important thing is to change it for money, so that her owner can get a comfortable experience." ”

Li Xiaoli paused for a moment, but she was a little unsure, and suddenly accepted such a valuable gift from Li Shenglin. "It's too expensive, I can't take it. "As he spoke, he was going to return it to Li Shenglin.

Li Shenglin forcibly stuffed Ruo into her hand and held her hand tightly, "If you want to take it, take it, this is my personal birthday gift to you, if you refuse, you won't give me face." Li Shenglin looked directly into Li Xiaoli's eyes, and the soft light in his eyes made Li Xiaoli's heart suddenly itch.

Li Xiaoli no longer accepted it politely, and she didn't say thank you, she saw from Li Shenglin's eyes that saying thank you would be outward.
