Chapter 172: The Prototype of an Entertainment Empire
"What are you doing, it's not like you haven't seen it. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Li Xianhao couldn't help but laugh.
Krystal listened, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Hmph, who knows her." ”
When Pei Xiuzhi heard this, he couldn't help but shoot back, "I don't know you either." ”
After the two finished speaking, they looked at each other viciously, and then they both turned away from each other.
"Alright, okay, don't be vindictive. Li Xianhao said with a smile.
"From now on, Suzy will be your new member, and she will train with you and make her debut. ”
"Oppa, why do you want her to join in, aren't the four of us okay?" Krystal objected.
For this question, Li Xianhao just smiled and did not answer.
Krystal their f(x) and the original f(x) are one member amber liu yiyun, although li xianhao can let the four of them debut to form a foursome f(x), but pei xiuzhi's side, there is no one to take them in.
Although it is said that Bae Suzhi is now training with Park Chulong and them, Pei Xiuzhi's style is obviously different from Apink who will tie the pink girl to the end in the future, and it is even more inappropriate to let her join 4minute, there is already a small wild horse there is the focus of the audience, if such a good person as Bae Xiuzhi enters, it is easy to split that group into two evenly matched small groups, which is the most taboo for a group.
F(x) is different. f(x) Everyone in it has their own characteristics, Luna's beautiful singing voice, Krystal and Cui Xueli can all develop in variety shows or show business, as for Song Qian, her focus will definitely be in the arms of her motherland in the future, so Pei Xiuzhi joins in, and she is not afraid of robbing them of their resources or something, because everyone is equally good and has their own development direction.
This is also the best arrangement for Pei Xiuzhi under Li Xianhao's careful consideration. Without missa, Pei Xiuzhi will not be nowhere to go, but will become the changing X in the function group, perhaps because of Pei Xiuzhi's talent, she will become the dazzling X in F(X).
"Okay, okay, Crystal, Xiuzhi has been with you for a year, and she's just a little older than you, you don't know each other if you don't fight, you have to get along peacefully in the future, you know?"
Krystal listened, his head twisted obviously, and he did not answer Li Xianhao's words. Li Xianhao could only smile helplessly.
"Song Qian, as the biggest in it, you have to be responsible for managing them well, do you know? Especially Crystal and Xiuzhi, Xiuzhi later, you have to take good care of her, don't let everyone have conflicts. You're older and more sensible, and I'm booking you to be the captain of this team, and I hope you won't let me down. Li Xianhao gently patted Song Qian's shoulder and said to Song Qian in Chinese.
"Oh, got it, President. Song Qian listened to this, and was slightly surprised in her heart. Although everyone used to let her be the captain to manage them, this decision from Li Xianhao's mouth can still make people excited. This shows that Li Xianhao is optimistic about her ability.
"Didn't I tell you that I wanted to call oppa, and I didn't obey you. Li Xianhao scratched her nose and said.
Such an intimate act in front of everyone suddenly made Song Qian's face flush slightly, remembering the careless "kissing" last night, her head couldn't help lowering, and she didn't dare to look at Li Xianhao again.
"Oppa, what are you talking to Victoria? Why do you want to speak Chinese? Do you have any ulterior secrets?" Krystal couldn't help but be unhappy as he watched Li Xianhao and Song Qian's intimate actions on the side.
"Oh, I'll let Victoria take care of you and keep you from having a conflict with Suzy. Li Xianhao smiled at Victoria, "As for speaking Chinese, because Victoria is a person from the Heavenly (Harmonious) Dynasty, speaking Chinese will make her feel more cordial, and let her not forget her motherland." ”
Hearing this, Song Qian looked up at Li Xianhao again, she was still wondering why Li Xianhao would communicate with her in Chinese from time to time, it turned out that this was the reason. I couldn't help but be very moved by Li Xianhao's good intentions.
"Suzy, you will train and debut with them in the future, strive to integrate into everyone as soon as possible, have a good relationship with your teammates, and if you have any grievances, you can come and tell me. Li Xianhao's last sentence was obviously to remind everyone present not to bully Pei Xiuzhi.
"Oh, thank you, President. Pei Xiuzhi respectfully saluted Li Xianhao.
Pei Xiuzhi understood Li Xianhao's good intentions at this moment. Just now, Yin Pumei was still talking about who the company's second girl group was going to launch, Pei Xiuzhi was still thinking about the krystal team at the time, but he didn't expect that he was actually arranged by Li Xianhao into the krystal team.
After Li Xianhao instructed a few people again, he left their training room and let them integrate by themselves.
After Li Xianhao left, I wanted to go to see IU's training immediately, after all, she can now be said to be a stage of temporary silence, some time ago her album sales came out, and the single album sales were only about 3700 copies, which is a bit of a blow for a junior high school student, so Li Xianhao wanted to comfort and comfort her, and learn guitar with her by the way.
But before he could press the elevator, a phone call came, and Li Xianhao had to temporarily stop going to IU.
…………
CJ Entertainment Building, inside the office of Vice President Lee Mi-jing.
"Xianhao, look at it, this is the latest box office of "Very Anchor". Li Meijing handed a statistical table to Li Xianhao.
"Yesterday, the movie was fully offline, and the total box office was just counted. ”
Li Xianhao took the statistics book and looked at it. The first thing that comes to mind is the following aggregate data.
In the 40 days since its release, "The Extraordinary Anchor" has received a total of 9.89 million viewers, only 110,000 people short of breaking the 10 million mark, and the total box office is 52.0864 million won. Then the investor accounts for 45% of the box office, that is, 23,438.88 million won, and the film is invested by Lee Seon-ho's AT company and CJ Entertainment half-each, so Lee Seon-ho's half is 11,719.44 million won.
But the total investment in this movie is only 5 billion, that is to say, Li Xianhao earned more than 8 billion won in one movie.
Of course, this does not include Kang Shixi's overseas earnings from now going to various countries to distribute the film.
"Xianhao, I'll transfer this money to your company's account in two days. ”
"Hmm. Li Xianhao nodded.
"Xianhao, I called you here this time, in fact, there is another thing I want to discuss with you. Li Meijing pulled down the curtain and sat down on the sofa in front of the guest table again.
"Oh, auntie, you can tell me. Li Xianhao sat precariously looking at Li Meijing.
"I want you to be the president of CJ Entertainment. Li Meijing looked at Li Xianhao and said suddenly.
"What? Let me be the president of CJ Entertainment?" As soon as Li Meijing's words came out, Li Xianhao was stunned for a while, and seemed to be a little incredulous.
"That's right. Because, you are the heir of our Li family. Li Meijing said with a straight face, and then slowly said a secret story.
"Your father has already transferred 20% of CJ Group's shares to your name, and he currently only owns 61% of CJ Group's shares, and we are also planning to make CJ Entertainment Group independent of CJ Group, and then merge M into CJ Entertainment Group and integrate it into a new entertainment group. ”
"CJ Group holds 80% of CJ Entertainment Group's shares, and the rest is my 15% and Chairman Kang Seok-hee's 5% shares. ”
"What you and I mean is that if you take out 20% of CJ Group's shares and exchange them for 80% of CJ Entertainment Group's shares, you will own 80% of CJ Group's shares and become the new chairman of CJ Entertainment Group, because your vision is more accurate than ours, and you are also proficient in the entertainment industry, which is more conducive to the development of the entertainment group, and at the same time, the entire CJ Group can also be better integrated, and you will focus on the development of food, distribution and biopharmaceutical industries in the future. Li Meijing slowly explained to Li Xianhao.
At present, CJ Group is indeed a bit disordered, because it has a TV station M, and CJ Entertainment Group is separated from CJ Group, which means that there are two entertainment-related companies, but they are not subordinate to each other, and the management is somewhat disordered, and it is also very troublesome for business development. Because M's music videos are widely distributed, it also has TV media, which can be used as a good publicity medium. At the same time, there are many signed artists, and this M company is actually more profitable than CJ Entertainment Group, which specializes in film and television production and distribution, and because of this, CJ Group has to divide many people to manage a company as large as M.
If it is reintegrated into a company, the group will be all professionals in the same industry, and the promotion and decline of personnel positions will not be the phenomenon of management personnel who do not understand the market.
"But, auntie, I already have an AT company myself, this small company, I don't have much to do, let alone let me manage such a big group as CJ Entertainment Group, I'm actually very lazy, and I have no interest in managing a company. Li Xianhao shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
Seeing Li Xianhao like this, Li Meijing also looked very helpless, Li Xianhao is always like this, although he looks plain and unambitious, he always does some earth-shattering things, but he really wants to give him a heavy burden, so he quits again.
Perhaps, he is really not interested in this kind of thing.
Li Meijing smiled helplessly in her heart.
"Xianhao, actually, you don't have to take care of things, as a president, in fact, as long as you do a few things, it's completely OK. First of all, in terms of funding, you don't have to worry about this at all, I have a look at this aspect, and the second is the use of people, well, everyone has everyone's opinion, like when I was in charge of CJ Entertainment, I took a fancy to the ability of Chairman Kang Shixi, which made him the president, he is a really capable person. This third point, which is also the most important thing for a company, is the strategic positioning, if a company's strategy is wrong, then the company has absolutely no development prospects. ”
"So, if you become the chairman of CJ Entertainment Group, as long as you are in charge of the company's strategic direction, you will not be wrong, and I think from your point of view, there should be no problem with the company's development strategy. ”
Listening to Li Meijing slowly tell him some tips for managing the company, Li Xianhao was also a little moved. There is no doubt that CJ Entertainment is much bigger than his AT company pattern, especially after joining the M Buddha, it is the absolute hegemon in the Korean entertainment industry, and when the time comes, he is the president of such a big entertainment group, and when he takes care of his group members, he no longer needs to go here to ask for favors.
"But, auntie, I have a company and a singer and artist now, and I am very busy many times, and I don't have time to manage such a large group. Li Xianhao still has concerns.
In fact, Li Xianhao's concerns are just groundless, he is now handing over the power of the company to Hong Shengcheng to manage, and as a singer and artist, he will only be able to sing for a month, and unlike other singers, he will go to a variety show or something after singing, Li Xianhao did not agree to an invitation to a variety show at all, and even many media who wanted to interview Li Xianhao did not have the opportunity. Li Xianhao is actually a very leisurely person on the whole.
"You just have to hang your position now, and other small things can be handed over to us to take care of, you, you, let me say hello, sometimes I see you are very hard-working, and would rather sweat and train hard, but when you encounter something you don't like, you seem to be distracted, do you just want to become a big star that everyone pays attention to? But I don't think you like to be in the limelight, and some media can't even interview your shadow. Li Meijing didn't understand what Li Xianhao thought.
If you want to say that he wants to become a big star, he does have the intention of doing this, and he is a singer and now accepts to make TV series, but he doesn't want to appear in front of the public at all, which makes some media reporters helpless against him.
If you want to say that Li Xianhao wants to be behind the scenes, he also does it well, a TRA group is booming, and the AT company has also been pulled up by him, becoming a large company at the same level as S.M company, JYP company, and YG company.
Li Xianhao thought carefully about his original intention, he wanted to push them to the top and make up for their regrets, but by chance, the songs he sang were liked by many people, which made Li Xianhao want to change the kind of life that he lived in the dark in his previous life. And when he found that his singing voice could make more people happy, Li Xianhao seemed to like this feeling of bringing joy to people. It is precisely because of this that Li Xianhao wants to become a singer.
As for the subsequent TV series, it was purely because Li Xianhao felt that he wanted to challenge and try it.
Thinking about it again, if he becomes the president of CJ Entertainment, it will be of great benefit to himself and those trainees under his command, Li Xianhao nodded in his heart.
"Auntie, I can promise to be the chairman of CJ Entertainment Group. But I have a couple of conditions. ”
"Xianhao, you can say it. ”
"First of all, Chairman Kang is still in charge of the company's affairs, and you continue to be in charge of the group's finances, and I continue to serve as the president of my AT company, and AT is not merged into CJ Entertainment Group, but it has priority to enjoy the resources of CJ Entertainment Group. ”
"At the same time, I will also set a direction for CJ Entertainment, and you just need to be firmly implemented by the people below you. Li Xianhao put forward several conditions in an orderly manner.
"Okay, my aunt can make the decision and promise you. Li Meijing responded happily.
CJ Entertainment Group can be said to be the brainchild of Lee Mi-jing, and when she and Spielberg's DreamWorks jointly established CJ Entertainment, it was Lee Mi-jeong's decision to override the crowd. At that time, CJ Entertainment was founded in the name of CJ Group in cooperation with DreamWorks, so CJ Entertainment would be a subsidiary of CJ Group, but now CJ Entertainment Group has already taken back the outside shares and has become an entertainment company that only belongs to her Li Meijing, and she has built this entertainment company as her life's work.
Because of this, Li Meijing wants CJ Entertainment Group to have broader development prospects and build an entertainment empire, but as a woman, after all, she has limited vision in many aspects, and it is precisely because of this that she will give up the position of chairman before and hand it over to Kang Shixi to take care of. But Kang Shixi is not the Li family after all, and now that Li Xianhao is a better choice, Li Meijing will want Li Xianhao to be the chairman of this big group.
"Okay Auntie, I'll go back and talk to Abba and ask him to exchange the CJ Group shares transferred to me for CJ Entertainment Group shares. As for the extra money, let's think of it as the money that M merged into CJ Entertainment. ”
CJ Group's 20% stake is definitely much more than CJ Entertainment's 80% stake.
"Well, I'll tell you Abba, too, that when the time comes, I'll hold a general meeting of the company's executives, and then announce your chairmanship at the meeting. Li Meijing said.
Li Xianhao nodded.
Today, CJ Entertainment is called CJ Entertainment Group, but it is only a private company with only three shareholders. So everyone else is just a wage earner.
Li Xianhao thought in his heart what kind of development direction he should formulate for CJ Entertainment after he went back. (To be continued.) )
