Chapter 404: Heading to the United States

Jin Yufan is very relieved about Kara's girls, especially Park Gyu-ri and Han Seung-yeon, but for many BT variety shows in Japan that Jin Yufan can't accept, Jin Yufan can only say hehe.

As a result, Kim Yu-fan repeatedly emphasized to Kwon Jung-ho that in Japan, except for formal music programs, variety shows are not participated, and even some commercial performances must be finalized in advance, so as not to make any excessive demands from the organizers at that time.

This kind of thing can't be careless, after all, Kara entered the Japanese market in the first place, and a similar situation occurred. It was originally simple, but a commercial performance was not made clear in advance, and in the end, when Kara was about to perform, his employer asked Kara to wear a sexier and hotter outfit, even worthy of the temperature of zero degrees.

Although a hundred were reluctant, the business contract was settled, and Kara was able to grit her teeth and continue to perform.

Now, with the appearance of Jin Yufan, Kara naturally doesn't have to be so wronged by herself, even if someone sets a trap and asks for compensation, Jin Yufan will definitely take the money out without saying a word.

In Jin Yufan's valuation, Kara is an artist under the MC company, his own person, and his juniors and sisters, so naturally Kara is not allowed to be wronged a little.

"Inside, I know the director!" Usually Kwon Jung-ho can be commensurate with Kim Yu-beom's brothers, but now looking at Kim Yu-fan's strict expression, Kwon Jung-ho also knows that Kim Yu-fan is talking about business, so he calls Kim Yu-fan director in a proper manner.

Kim Yu-beom is the president of MC Company, and almost no one knows about it except for Grandma and Hong Seung-sung. Including Shirley, who is closest to her, Lu He, who has the best relationship and can be trusted, doesn't know.

Therefore, regarding the current identity and status of Jin Yufan in the MC company, everyone thinks that Jin Yufan is just the artist director of the MC company. At the same time, he has a certain amount of shares and only serves as a director.

As for the identity of the big boss of the MC company, it has been a mystery until now.

South Korea flies to Japan, it's really not far, less than two hours. So Jin Yufan and Kara didn't go to sleep and rest, but chatted happily on the plane.

In the pleasant conversation, time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Jin Yufan and his party had arrived in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. Hop into a car sent by Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary, and blend into the mighty traffic of Tokyo.

That's right, it was Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary that came to pick up Jin Yufan and his party, and Kara's debut this time was in the name of Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary, with the operation and help of Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary. Entered the Japanese market.

Under the guidance of Hong Shengcheng, MC has become an ally with the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Music, and the two sides have even exchanged shares to share with Ai Hui Records and S? Company M, like that, wants to deepen the cooperation between the two sides.

Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary is watching Ai Hui Records because of the relationship with South Korea's S? The cooperation between Company M, especially the success of BOA and TVXQ, shows that Korean artists can easily open up the situation in Japan as long as they have the strength. It's still profitable, it's profitable.

Thereupon. Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary is also actively looking for allies with South Korea, hoping to reach an agreement that will serve as a base camp for the agency's artists to come to Japan in the future.

In fact, when he was in JYP, Hong Shengcheng had already begun to contact major powerful record companies in Japan, and finally selected the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Music. I hope that an agreement can be reached in the future, so that JYP's artists can be listed under the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Music when they enter the Japanese music scene.

But now, with Hong Seung-sung leaving JYP. Joined MC Company. At the beginning, Hong Shengcheng was responsible for all the connections between JYP and Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary, so after Hong Shengcheng joined MC, he naturally brought this connection over.

From this aspect, it can be seen that Hong Shengcheng's value is not only a top management talent with means and strength, but also brings a lot of excellent staff and trainee seedlings with unlimited potential to MC Company, and now it has popped up a partnership with Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary.

Therefore, Jin Yufan really didn't feel that he gave Hong Shengcheng 10% more shares, but even felt that it was a little less, and he was a little wronged by Hong Shengcheng's talent.

Fortunately, Hong Sheng is not greedy, and in the face of the 20% shares proposed by Jin Yufan, he has always refused on the grounds that it is inappropriate to take so many shares without paying for it, from 20% to 15%, and finally slowly became 10% today.

At the beginning, Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary naturally didn't want to cooperate with MC Company, after all, for MC Company, in addition to a Hong Shengcheng, there is also a three-year military service without a publicity period of Jin Yufan, whether MC Company can develop, Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary is not sure, and it can even be said that it is not optimistic.

It can't be said that Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary is realistic, it's just that MC doesn't have the strength to let Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary see its own value and potential, how can Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary cooperate with you.

But soon, with the crazy rise of Kara, Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary began to be moved, and took the initiative to contact MC Company to begin preliminary negotiations on the cooperation between the two parties.

Of course, this is also because Kara was too popular during that time, not in South Korea, but because of the parody video storm of "Mr.", which was popular all over the world, plus there is also a Gu Hara who resembles Namie Amuro, Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary is naturally excited.

But after Kim Yu-beom discussed with Hong Seung-sung, he took a look at the news that Lee Hyo-ri, the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Records, was about to join, and at this time, the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Music had no opinion, and immediately made an alliance with MC and reached a series of related agreements.

Although the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Music also knew that it was impossible for Lee Hyori to come to Japan to develop, at least even if he came to Japan, it would only be a soy sauce. However, Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary does not value Lee Hyo-ri's ability to come to Japan for development, but rather values Lee Hyo-ri's status and influence in the Korean music scene.

In the eyes of Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary, MC has Lee Hyo-ri, which is enough to be very competitive, which can also ensure that MC can survive in the Korean music scene.

It is precisely because of this that Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary was happy to reach an agreement with MC. After all, no one wants to work with a brokerage company that is going to go out of business at any time.

Well, it can be seen that Lee Hyo-ri's status and influence in the Korean music scene at this time, even if it is the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Music, is even Lee Hyo-ri's influence.

In the end, 10% of the shares were exchanged between the two parties. Of course. It is impossible for Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary to let its singers come to South Korea for development, and MC will never allow Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary to interfere with and influence MC with its 10% stake in MC. (The madman also knows that the share swap between MC and Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary cannot be a 10% swap, at least the MC company is not worth so much money at present, but the madman does not have the time and patience to estimate the value of the two parties, so in order to save trouble, he directly decided that the two sides are 10% share swaps, and everyone has seen it.) Don't be serious. )

Therefore, both parties have reached a tacit agreement, which is only to exchange shares, and the two parties do not interfere with and affect the affairs of the other company.

Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary needs MC's continuous stream of singers to come to Japan in the future to develop and hang under its own record company, giving the record company more ways to make money.

MC also hopes that in the future, its singers can be listed under the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Music and enter the Japanese market.

In a word. In this cooperation, both sides have their own needs. Absolutely complementary and win-win.

Therefore, when Jin Yufan and his party walked out of the airport, they were already picked up by someone sent by the long-awaited Japanese subsidiary of Universal Music.

As the de facto chairman of MC Company, the director and artist director revealed to the public, since he came to Japan with Kara, of course, he has to do his duty. Help Kara better enter the Japanese music scene.

So, Jin Yufan met Kazuhiko Koike, CEO of Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary, and the two sides closed the door and had a conversation for more than an hour, and the results showed from the satisfied expressions of the two that the conversation between the two sides was very good.

After talking to Kazuhiko Koike. Jin Yufan told Kazuhiko Koike about Kara's planning and attention to enter the Japanese music scene. Kim Yu-beom firmly believes that as the CEO of Universal Music's Japanese subsidiary, Kazuhiko Koike's ability and professionalism are beyond doubt.

This also means that there is nothing to do with yourself next, and there is liberation. So, Jin Yufan didn't say a word, in Kara's resentful eyes, he waved his hand very chicly, shouting goodbye, I went to the United States.

Of course, Jin Yufan can't leave Japan and fly to the United States so chicly, not to mention that he has to rest for a few days, not to mention that in Japan, Jin Yufan's main purpose is not for Kara, but for BOA.

Jin Yufan has always been a person who attaches great importance to feelings, and the more cold and unapproachable people are, once they recognize someone and a certain relationship, they often attach more importance to it than ordinary people.

This point is obviously shown in Jin Yufan, otherwise, Jin Yufan would not have been allowed to go to Japan and talk to Kazuhiko Koike for more than an hour, and then say hello to Kara, in less than three hours in total, Jin Yufan left Kara and his party and chose to go out alone to find BOA.

Although it is the first time to come to Japan, with Jin Yufan's terrifying IQ, he has already mastered the Japanese language, and there is no problem at all, plus he has money in his hand, and there is no difficulty in going anywhere.

Before registering, Jin Yufan sent a text message to BOA, and after leaving Kara, Jin Yufan took a taxi and rushed to the place where BOA sent the text message.

"OPPA!" At a coffee shop, Kim Yu-fan met BOA again after more than a month.

I saw BOA wearing big sunglasses, a small and cute lady hat, and a thick down jacket that wrapped herself tightly, like a pig.

"Hehe, Bao'er!" Seeing BOA, Jin Yufan was also in a good mood, and his depression about being killed by Li Xiuman and Park Zhenrong during this time disappeared a lot.

I had a close hug with BOA, and I wisely chose to ignore BOA's face that was red because of shyness, and then deliberately pretended to be okay and let BOA sit down first, and then Jin Yufan sat down and looked at BOA like this.

"OPPA!" Facing Jin Yufan's hot eyes, BOA couldn't hold it anymore. ALTHOUGH BOA IS A WOMAN WITH A STRONG CHARACTER AND A COMPETITIVE PERSONALITY, IT IS WITHIN LOVE. In front of Jin Yufan, it can be regarded as a complete failure.

"What, are you tired during this time?" Seeing BOA's exhaustion, Jin Yufan asked with some distress.

Since successfully becoming the majority shareholder of Facebook, and usually making money, money is really a number for Jin Yufan now. Therefore. In Jin Yufan's view, work is a hobby and a hobby, just a matter to pass the time, and it is necessary to work happily and freely, like BOA so hard and hard work, Jin Yufan is really a little painful and reluctant.

If he didn't know BOA's character, Jin Yufan would probably directly ask BOA to give up his career as an artist, stop working so hard, with Jin Yufan's current ability and financial resources. ENOUGH FOR BOA TO LIVE LIKE A PRINCESS.

"Well, I just released my 24th single "LoseYourMind" a few days ago, and I'm busy promoting it. Hearing the pain and reluctance in Jin Yufan's tone, BOA also felt a burst of sweetness in his heart, gave Jin Yufan a sweet smile, and nodded softly.

"It's all 24 singles!" Jin Yufan couldn't help but sigh, he deserves to be dedicated to the Japanese music scene, and he is a top singer in Japanese songs. The speed at which this single was released, that's absolutely nothing.

To know. The high level of Japanese popularity, especially the support for genuine editions and the crackdown on piracy, have made the Japanese record market the second largest in the world.

In the Japanese music scene, whether it is a single or a mini album, or a regular album, or even a classic selection album. As long as the quality is excellent, the publicity is strong, and the popularity is not bad, they are all very popular and the sales are very good. It's very profitable.

Unlike Korean singles, Korean singles are more like temptations, but in Japan, singles are no different from regular albums, that is, they come directly to the real thing, at most, the number of songs is small, and the production of singles is cheap, and the price is lower than that of regular albums.

BOA has just released its 24th single, which is enough to prove BOA's status and popularity in the Japanese music scene. After all, releasing a single in Japan is not a temptation, but going directly to the purpose of making money, there is no interest if there is no popularity, and if there is no benefit, you will be like sending a single, let alone 24 albums like BOA.

"Hee-hee, yes, I'm busy promoting the single, and at the end of this month, I'm going to appear on TBS TV's 49th "Japan Record Awards"!"

"Well, although it is useless to know what I said, I really can't bear to see you so hard and tired. Work is work, don't work too hard, even if you don't work, I can support you for a lifetime, and at the same time give you the best and highest life and enjoyment. ”

As soon as I saw BOA talking about work, the whole person began to become a little excited, Jin Yufan sighed helplessly, although he knew that it was useless, but he couldn't help but remind.

"Got OPPA!" BOA smiled happily, enjoying Kim Yu-beom's concern.

Afterwards, BOA first glanced at Jin Yufan carefully, and then lowered his head in a low voice, a little cautiously: "I know, I will definitely pay attention in the future, and I won't let myself be so tired." ”

Well, after listening to BOA's words, Jin Yufan knew that his reminder was in vain, it was obvious that BOA was just perfunctory, even if it was sincere, it was useless, how to arrange Ai Hui Records, BOA couldn't refuse.

I opened my mouth and wanted to say something, but when I saw BOA lowering his head and answering cautiously just now, he could only sigh and say helplessly: "Okay, since you insist, I won't say anything." But you remember, pay attention to my body, don't have an accident, otherwise, I will definitely not let you continue to work as an artist and career, so hard work, your body doesn't care. ”

"Inside!" Feeling the sternness of Jin Yufan's tone, BOA also responded honestly, and then some children muttered in a temper: "No way, artists are not all chapters, after all, there is only OPPA in this world You are a very special artist, low-key and free and relaxed, who can compare with you." ”

Jin Yufan's hearing is very good, so when he heard BOA's muttering, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

Listening to BOA's words, it seems that he has made his own mistakes, he is not serious about his work, and he does not know how to be self-motivated.

In fact, Jin Yufan didn't know, as BOA said, in fact, almost all artists in South Korea have all kinds of jealousy, envy and hatred for Jin Yufan.

All Korean artists can't understand why Kim Yu-bum is so low-key, but he was able to become the top singer after two years of debut. Not only that, I don't participate in commercial performances when I don't go on the show, but why can I make so much money, and now I live in a double-storey independent villa by the Han River in Heishidong, Tongque District, and now I even cooperate with Hong Shengcheng to transform from an artist to a director and artist director of a brokerage company.

Every time a Korean artist thinks of this, he has an incomparable resentment towards Kim Yufan, and all kinds of jealousy, envy and hatred also follow. I can't figure it out, I'm so hard, I'm tired to death, and I only have three or four hours of rest at the end of the day, why is it like Jin Yufan, and it's not even comparable at all.

It seems that in front of Jin Yufan, all the singers admit one thing, that is, diligence and hard work do not seem to be valid in front of Jin Yufan.

"OPPA, I'm really sorry this time. Suddenly, BOA stood up, bowed to Jin Yufan and said.

"Eh!" BOA's reaction immediately stunned Jin Yufan, and then quickly reacted that BOA should be referring to Li Xiuman's killing of himself.

Others don't know, but as a professional, he is very smart and knows the complexity and danger, BOA of course knows that Li Xiuman praises Jin Yufan on the surface, but in fact, he is praising and targeting Jin Yufan.

On the one hand, he is his favorite boyfriend, and on the other hand, he is his most respected teacher, at this moment, BOA who is sandwiched in the middle is really in a dilemma, and the past two days have been spent in sorrow because of this incident.

"Hehe, silly girl, it doesn't matter what you do, let alone who Li Xiuman is, you should know better than me, even if you try to do something, it's useless. You are you, he is him, you have to figure that out. Okay, let's not talk about that, if you should come by car, it's the first time I'm in Japan, so let's not talk about those unpleasant things, but now let's take me to Tokyo first. ”

Reaching out and touching BOA's head, Jin Yufan stood up and smiled and said, after seeing BOA's worried eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't worry, your man is not as weak as you think, those people want to kill me, and it is impossible to suppress me." ”

"What my man, I haven't agreed to yet. Being embarrassed by Jin Yufan, BOA also stood up happily, raised his head proudly, and said with disdain.

Well, at this moment, BOA is starting to be tsundere.

Afterwards, neither of them continued to talk about it, but began to visit Tokyo under the leadership of BOA. In the process of playing, Jin Yufan found that BOA is really not very familiar with Tokyo, and it seems that BOA has been busy with work in Japan for many years, and has no time to play at all.

After staying in Japan with BOA for two days, BOA had to continue the promotion of the single, and the time was almost up, and finally under BOA's farewell, Kim Yufan boarded a flight to the United States. (To be continued......)
