Episode 716: Everything is a deal
After Yuna and Seo Hyun finished their answers, they all stared at Li Xiuman, feeling uneasy, for fear that they would not express themselves resolutely enough, which would make Li Xiuman doubt their abilities. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAlthough Kim Young-min is now more and more authoritative, and many new trainees who join the company even have more respect for Kim Young-min, but a debut artist like Girls' Generation knows very well that Lee so-man is the real speaker of S.M, even Lin Xiyin privately admitted to Jung Hee-yi that no matter whether Lee so-man is the largest shareholder of S.M in the future, as long as he is alive, S.M is still Lee so-man's S.M.
YG, JYP and S.M are known as the three major idol agencies in South Korea, but in terms of the control of the three company presidents over the company, Yang Hyun-seok and Park Jin-young together are not as much as half of Lee so-man, even if Lee so-man is now hiding behind the scenes and is extremely low-key, but no one dares to underestimate his influence on S.M. The reason why Zheng Xiyi tried every means to acquire more S.M shares is because it is impossible to eliminate Li Xiuman's influence on S.M by relying solely on ability and prestige, and it is even more impossible to persuade him by lip service, in order to maintain control of S.M, Li Xiuman is even willing to abscond to the United States on charges of embezzlement of public funds, which shows that he does not hesitate to sacrifice everything in order to control S.M. Money can't shake Li Xiuman's determination to control S.M, and only by threatening his identity as S.M.'s largest shareholder can he force Li Xiuman to bow his head.
In fact, as long as you accept the blood sucking of S.M by political groups, it is also optional to directly replace Li Xiuman as the president of S.M as the largest shareholder, but if it really comes to that point, Li Xiuman will definitely fight to the death, "Since I can't get it, then simply destroy it" is the inevitable result, Zheng Xiyi doesn't want an S.M that is broken up, so he will always step on the red line of the second largest shareholder to fight wits and courage with Li Xiuman. Moreover, with Li Xiuman's old treacherous slippery, it will not be impossible to see that the existence of Lin Xiyin's executive director is not a bad thing, on the contrary, Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi, the two sisters and brothers, have become Li Xiuman's shield to resist the increasingly greedy appetite of political groups in many cases, after all, Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi are both Americans, and there is also RELOAD, a multinational electronic entertainment group, behind them, and it is more faintly related to the Korean chaebol of the Lotte Xin family, so Li Xiuman's attitude towards the Zheng sisters and brothers has also changed in the past two years, and he no longer sets Lin Xiyin in everything, and even took the initiative to stand on Lin Xiyin's side a few times, although it is just a favor, but it can also be seen that Li Xiuman has accepted the Zheng siblings as partners who are both enemies and allies.
After waiting for half a minute, Li Xiuman took his eyes off the script, but instead of looking at Yun'er and Xu Xian, he looked at Zheng Xiyi, Zheng Xiyi understood what he meant after a little groaning, turned his head and gave Lin Xiyin a look, Lin Xiyin then said: "If Yun'er or Xu Xian is selected, I will propose a plan for the adjustment of the film shooting schedule and concert schedule in the council, set up a special coordination office, and I will personally grasp this matter in the second half of the year, Director Li Xiuman, what do you think?"
Li Xiuman nodded slightly, Zheng Xiyi really has the same style as before, he has already been prepared, and he will send the corresponding plan just as soon as he expresses his position, even if he opposes it, he is afraid that Lin Xiyin will immediately give a set of plans, and in the end, he will inevitably force himself to agree to let Yun'er and Xu Xian go to audition.
"Hmm......" Although Li Xiuman had agreed in his heart, he still deliberately waited for a few seconds, Kim Yingmin, Han Shimin, Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi would not eat this set, but Yuna and Xu Xian were still nervous and sweaty, maintaining a certain sense of mystery to deter his subordinates is also one of the compulsory courses to be a boss, Li Xiuman has long been instinctive to play this hand, "Since Lin Xiyin said so, let's do it first." Let's go to the audition first, no matter how intense our discussion is, and the director doesn't see any of them, what's the point, it's better to wait for the character's attribution to be confirmed, and if Yuna or Seo Hyun can really get this opportunity, then discuss it specifically. ā
Kim Young-min's face was as black as the bottom of a pot on one side, and he, the president and CEO, was sitting on the side, but Lin Xiyin and Li Xiuman sang and reconciled the matter, and they were obviously ready to work together. Although Li Xiuman said that he would discuss it after the audition, if Yuna or Xu Xian really got the role, there would naturally be different voices in the council, not to mention that Lin Xiyin and Li Xiuman alone could directly let the council pass the plan, and the combined shares of the two of them were as high as more than 40%, unless all the remaining directors all objected, no one could stop the two of them from joining forces.
Seeing that there was no room for recovery, Kim Yingmin didn't want to sit down anymore, and was about to stand up and leave as soon as his body moved, but unexpectedly, Li Xiuman suddenly smiled and said: "By the way, Xiyi, can you think about debuting as a singer?" Your "Gangnam STYLE" is now sweeping all the charts with just one digital sound source, and when the official MV comes out in July, I'm afraid that the general trend will continue for a long time, I'm thinking about whether to postpone the release date of Girls' Generation's new album." ā
Everyone looked at Li Xiuman, I don't know if he was joking or telling the truth, Zheng Xiyi was also a smile, and Li Xiuman glanced at each other, seeing that the other party's eyes were full of fine light, his heart moved, he nodded and said in a relaxed tone: "Since Uncle Man said so, then I will consider it." But Uncle Man, even if I make my debut as a singer, I can't really release an album every year like a singer, and it's unlikely that even a single song, after all, I only write one song a year, and the quality is not very stable. ā
Li Xiuman looked at him deeply, and his face was full of wrinkles with a smile, "Haha, Ms. Lin has high standards and strict requirements, and it is naturally difficult to be satisfied with your pop music works from the perspective of experts and scholars, but what are we doing?
Zheng Xiyi tilted his head and thought about it, frowned and asked, "As long as it's a good song, I don't insist that it has to be a song written by myself." However, Uncle Man, I heard that the company does not allow singers to create their own songs, if I sing the songs I wrote, will it affect the company's rules?"
Li Xiuman laughed, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Ani, Ani, Xiyi, you must not believe those rumors, when did the company explicitly prohibit its artists from originalizing, but the creative level of these children is really not good, but they are all high-spirited, I am afraid that they will spend all their time on creation and do not practice well, so I don't like them to engage in originality, and as a result, there are such rumors." ā
Zheng Xiyi looked suddenly enlightened, patted his thigh and said to Li Xiuman: "So that's the case, then I really misunderstood Uncle Man, Crisp Song Mita, since Uncle Man said so, then I will rest assured, I will definitely seriously consider Uncle Man's suggestion, you can rest assured!"
Seeing that Zheng Xiyi agreed, Li Xiuman also nodded and smiled, looking at the hypocritical smiling faces of these two people, Yun'er and Xu Xian glanced at each other silently, lowered their heads and didn't dare to show their expressions, and secretly sighed in their hearts......
Although Jin Yingmin was angry, he was not so angry that his IQ went offline, after listening to Zheng Xiyi and Li Xiuman's words, his heart moved, he glanced at Li Xiuman, and said secretly in his heart: "Sure enough, it's an old fox, and he doesn't suffer at all!" Although he took a step back in the matter of Yuna and Xu Xian going to audition, he made Zheng Xiyi agree to consider becoming a singer of S.M, obviously as long as Yuna or Xu Xian can successfully win the role and the company releases it, then Zheng Xiyi will sign a singer contract with S.M, and the company actually earns money compared to the two, and no one on the board of directors will object to Yuna or Xu Xian going to make a movie. ā
Lin Xiyin and Han Shimin naturally understood the meaning of Zheng Xiyi and Li Xiuman's words, Han Shimin didn't care, only Lin Xiyin glanced at Zheng Xiyi with a little worry, and then looked at Xu Xian, secretly surprised in her heart, she didn't expect that Zheng Xiyi was willing to sign a singer contract with Li Xiuman in order to be able to go to Xu Xian's audition, this is really groundbreaking, does this mean that Zheng Xiyi has identified Xu Xian? Or is he optimistic about Xu Xian's audition this time? Or does Zheng Xiyi think that Xu Xian must play this role?
She knew very well in her heart that Zheng Xiyi should not be fighting for Yun'er for this opportunity, this time Yun'er was only afraid that she was covering Xu Xian at all, because if Yun'er could win the role, Zheng Xiyi would not have to spend so much time to bring Xu Xian, and the council would not oppose it so much, after all, Yun'er's positioning was the face and acting from the beginning. Although the company also has an actor setting for Xu Xian, in fact, as long as he is not interested in actors at all or has no conditions like Taeyeon and Hyoyeon, basically the company will label him as an actor first, in case the blind cat bumps into a dead mouse, but no one expected that Xu Xian seems to have really bumped into it, and Zheng Xiyi is actually very optimistic......
Xu Xian felt that someone was looking at her, raised her head slightly and glanced at it quickly, just in line with Lin Xiyin's gaze, she couldn't help but wonder, Lin Xiyin was looking for something on her body strangely, she lowered her head and looked at her clothes, but she didn't find anything wrong, her heart suddenly tightened, could it be that the makeup on her face was spent?
Seeing Xu Xian carefully covering up his hair, Lin Xiyin hooked the corners of his mouth, knowing that this girl wanted to be crooked, and wanted to tease her again, but he saw Zheng Xiyi glaring at her, in front of outsiders, Lin Xiyin still wanted to save some face for Zheng Xiyi, so he withdrew his eyes from teasing Xu Xian, smiled slightly and continued to play his OL goddess.
Li Xiuman was also very satisfied in his heart, his goal had been achieved, so he didn't stay any longer, stood up and said, "Okay, since it's decided, let's disperse." Yun'a, Xu Xian, you have to prepare for the audition, Xiyi, you think about it and reply to me as soon as possible. ā
Everyone stood up, Yun'a and Xu Xian bent down and saluted: "Nei, Ah to Yi Smecta, Li Xiuman teacher NIM, we will definitely go all out!"
Zheng Xiyi also bowed slightly and saluted: "Uncle Man, you go slowly, I will think about it seriously!"
