Episode 206: Lee so-man and Lee Ho-yeon
After 1 p.m. on February 4, 2005, five or six nanny cars came to the parking lot of S.M. company, and although the people who got out of the cars were different, the composition was almost similar.
The small hall on the first floor of S.M was already full at this time, and the all-staff meeting was not a serious meeting, but more like a small award ceremony, so there was no requirement for the trainees to sit upright, and everyone looked for their acquaintances to sit together and chatte and laugh.
Li Xiuman and others are waiting at the staircase on the second floor of the small hall to welcome the bosses of major idol brokerage companies. With Lee so-man's qualifications and status, none of the bosses of Korean idol brokerage companies can ask Lee so-man to greet him at the gate in person, so it is the current president Xu Daxin who is standing at the gate to pick up customers today, but when the shareholders' meeting is held again after the New Year, Xu Daxin will definitely leave the president's throne, as for who the next president is, Kim Young-min has no hope anyway.
Because the protagonists of the all-staff meeting are the trainees, Lin Xiyin is also waiting behind Li Xiuman to welcome guests today, and Kim Yingmin is because he is the president of S.MCC, the most important subsidiary of S.M, so he also stands behind Li Xiuman, Jin Yingmin looked around, and didn't see the person he was looking for, so he asked Lin Xiyin in a low voice: "Director Xiyin, will Xiyi XI come today?"
Lin Xiyin glanced at Li Xiuman in front of him, and saw that he didn't move, so he also said softly: "I don't know, I went home yesterday to ask him, but it turned out that he was not at home at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night." For the past week, he's been out early and late late, and I don't know what he's busy with, and I'm busy arranging the all-hands meeting, so I don't have time to worry about him. ”
Jin Yingmin nodded and didn't speak again, neither he nor Lin Xiyin saw it, and Li Xiu, who was standing in front of them, curled the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.
As I said just now, the protagonists of the all-staff meeting are the trainees, and artists who have already debuted will only come to participate if they have no itinerary, after all, making money is more important. What's more, this time is the busiest time of the year for IDOLs, and even the artists who have been hidden in the snow have commercial performance schedules to run, so generally speaking, it is rare to see artists at the all-staff meeting.
However, Zheng Xiyi is an actor, and there are no purely money-making commercial activities such as fan meetings these days, so it is Zheng Xiyi who wants to say which debut artist is most likely to appear at the all-staff meeting, and it is good that there must be an artist who can hold the scene at such a conference, and it is for this reason that Kim Yingmin asked Lin Xiyin. Of course, the main reason is that Zheng Xiyi is also his artist, and Zheng Xiyi's presence can also increase his weight.
"Anihasse, President Li Haoyan, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”
Li Xiuman saluted the other party slightly, and Li Haoyan, whose hair was already gray, also bowed slightly to return the salute, and then straightened up and walked forward and stretched out his hand to shake Li Xiuman. In Korean idol agencies, if you can be on an equal footing with S.M in terms of qualifications, there is only DSP founded in 1991, and as the founder of DSP, Lee Haoyan is also one of the few veterans who can be on an equal footing with Lee so-man.
"Yes, it's been a while, Director Li Xiuman, it's not easy to meet again. ”
Li Haoyan's tone had a very strong emotion, and Li Xiuman's small eyes narrowed, "What's the matter, President Haoyan doesn't want to see me again?"
Li Haoyan laughed, pointed at Li Xiuman and said, "I haven't seen you joke for so long, it seems that the matter is really solved." Of course I didn't mean that, I mean you probably won't see me if you don't come back. ”
Li Xiu was taken aback, his eyes were fixed on Li Haoyan and said, "What does President Haoyan mean by this?"
Li Haoyan looked left and right, smiled and said, "Do you want to block me here to answer questions, and won't let me sit down if you don't say anything?"
Li Xiuman was stunned, Lin Xiyin hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to salute, and then stretched out his hand to lead: "President Li Haoyan, please come here, the position has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to come." ”
Li Haoyan glanced at Lin Xiyin, and sighed lightly, "Hey, isn't this Miss Lin Xiyin, Zheng Xiyi's agent?"
Li Xiuman smiled, thinking to himself, don't you, an old fox, know what position Lin Xiyin is in S.M now?
However, he still had a faint smile on his face, pointed at Lin Xiyin and said: "Shibei should be impressed for three days, Lin Xiyin XI is already a registered director of S.M, and now he is the supervisor of the trainee room, and he may become a member of the board of directors of S.M after the New Year." ”
Li Haoyan looked at Lin Xiyin deeply, and made a surprised expression on his face: "Then I'm really lonely, I didn't expect to see Lin Xiyin for more than a year, Lin Xiyin XI has become a director IUM, sure enough, people with ability can come out anywhere, maybe in two years I will call you President Lin Xiyin IUM." ”
Lin Xiyin saluted Li Haoyan with an indifferent face and thanked him, "President Li Haoyan NIM said with a smile, S.M is full of talents, which round to get a little woman like me to be the president, I just happened to borrow the light of Director Li Xiuman's IUM." ”
Li Xiuman was very proud in his heart, because Lin Xiyin answered neither humbly nor arrogantly, and he also slapped him a little on the back, but he didn't want Li Haoyan to entangle Lin Xiyin anymore, so he simply turned around and walked to the middle seat of the front row on the second floor.
After the two of them sat down, Li Xiuman looked at the group of young men and girls standing behind Li Haoyan, "President Haoyan, can you tell me the answer now?"
Li Haoyan looked at Li Xiuman, and then at Jin Yingmin and Lin Xiyin, who were accompanying him, sighed in his heart, but his face did not show half distraction, and said with a wry smile: "I plan to retire this year after finishing my work." ”
"President Haoyan is not joking. ”
Li Xiuman was really taken aback this time.
S.M and DSP are idol agencies founded in the early 90s in South Korea, and the competition between the two companies has not stopped until today, with the men's group having the battle between Crystal Boy and H.O.T, and the girl group having the battle between Fin.K.L and S.E.S. can be said to be an all-round confrontation. Don't look at the chatter and laughter between Li Xiuman and Li Haoyan just now, there is no deep hatred between them, but they have been enemies for more than ten years, and outsiders feel that unless one of these two dies first, the confrontation between DSP and S.M will continue.
Li Haoyan actually told himself that he wanted to retire? Li Xiuman couldn't believe his ears.
It's not that the parties naturally don't know how powerful the president with the same surname in front of them is, whether it is Crystal Boy or Fin.K.L, they are all from his planning, and it is these two idol groups that firmly stand in the position of Korea's top boy and girl groups, and compete with H.O.T, MYTHO, S.E.S. under their command, so that S.M cannot dominate. It is precisely because of the long-term confrontation between DSP and S.M that JYP and YG have a chance to rise, and now the so-called three Korean idol agencies should actually be called the four major Korean idol agencies.
Li Xiuman looked at Li Haoyan, who already had more gray hair than black hair, and couldn't help but feel excited, such an old opponent actually told himself today that he was going to quit, Li Xiuman found that he didn't feel the joy of victory at all, and it was more cold.
Li Haoyan also seemed to be a little distracted, his eyes behind his glasses flashed with an inexplicable light, and he sighed for a long time and said: "My health is getting worse and worse, and I can no longer bear the pressure of work, and my doctor said that if I want to continue, I am afraid that I will not live for two years." ”
Li Xiuman also sighed, and seemed to see his future from Li Haoyan. Although the DSP has become weaker and weaker over the years due to Li Haoyan's health reasons, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the current YG and JYP together have brought more pressure to S.M than the DSP that has been dying and aging with Li Haoyan.
Kim Young-min respectfully said to Lee Ho-yeon: "President Lee Ho-yeon, modern medicine is prospering, and you may not be able to find a doctor in Korea who can make your body better, but you can also go to the United States, maybe you can find a better doctor over there to restore your health and return to work." ”
Li Haoyan smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for your auspicious words, President Kim Young-min." But I actually know my own body, and I really can't hold on anymore. If I could really hold on, would I sit here today and watch this old guy Li Xiuman show off his might to me? hahaha......"
Li Xiuman nodded silently, he naturally understands how tough his old opponent's personality is and how hot his temper is, if the scandal between Zheng Xiyi and Lee Hyori the year before last was not of great help to Lee Hyori's solo debut, Li Haoyan would just ignore S.MCC's cooperation proposal. If he hadn't decided to retire, the arrogant Li Haoyan would definitely not have stepped into S.M, let alone come to S.M's all-staff meeting.
Although this conference is not a serious competition, it is also the time when S.M's trainees bloom their strongest brilliance at the end of each year, and the people of their own company can be said to choose good seedlings, but they should invite people from the same company to see, that is, to show off, show off their confidence, let you see the level of our trainees and don't care, because you are not as strong as us, this is not what it is to show off your might.
Li Haoyan suddenly straightened his waist, pointed to the young man and girl standing behind him with his hand, and said, "However, I haven't retired yet, so this time it's not your turn to show off your might." Come on, look at these kids of mine, and soon a few of them will be on the screen. ”
Li Xiuman unconsciously narrowed his eyes, and for the first time looked at the young boys and girls behind Li Haoyan.
Li Haoyan waved his hand behind him, "Come, let's introduce ourselves to Director Lee Xiuman, Director Lin Xiyin, and President Kim Youngmin, you will often meet artists from S.M in the future, and it is all the handiwork of these people." ”
Five boys walked out of the trainees behind Li Haoyan and solemnly saluted Li Xiuman, Lin Xiyin and Kim Yingmin.
"Anihasse, Director Lee so-man NIM, Director Lim Hee-yin NIM, President Kim Young-min NIM, we are SS501!"
