Pei Zhongjun said it so bluntly, Jin Yufan and the four of them also knew that Pei Zhongjun was very aware of this matter, and this time he obviously came to negotiate with him in advance, and everyone discussed this matter.

Thinking of this, Jin Yufan and the four of them glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but nod.

Now that the matter is said, there is no need for everyone to continue to pinch and hide, Bae Jongjun's attitude shows that the South Korean government is willing to give the four major brokerage companies a chance to put forward their opinions, and of course the four of them are not so arrogant, and continue to play cold.

You don't have to wait until Lee Myung-bak comes, you can talk to Lee Myung-bak in person. Let's not say that Lee Myung-bak won't give you this opportunity, not to mention that Lee Myung-bak won't pay much attention to this aspect, compared to the more severe economic problems in South Korea, where is there time to care about the problem of Hallyu culture, even if the influence of Hallyu culture is great!

Seeing the reaction of the four people, Bae Jong-jun laughed, remembering Choi Kwang-sik's expectations and the phone number of the Blue House, Bae Jong-jun also had some confidence after seeing the four nodding.

At the very least, the four of them are willing to talk, and that's the most important thing. I'm not afraid that the four lions will open their mouths, everyone can sit down and talk slowly, talk slowly, I'm afraid that the four of them will be completely hurt by the government, and they don't plan to talk about it anymore.

Pei Zhongjun said in a very strict tone: "First of all, I want to state that the above meaning is very clear, that is, the artists under your various brokerage companies, with a certain degree of popularity as the standard, the selected combination must open up overseas markets, which is a must, and there is no need to negotiate." This matter has already been decided, and since it has been decided, it will not be changed, otherwise it will be a slap in the face. And do not think too much, and do not object. It's really a falling out, and no matter how much you join forces, you can't stand up to the government. ”

Looking at the expressions of the four people, especially the frowning brows, Bae Jongjun hurriedly explained: "However, the country is still very grateful to the four of you companies for their contributions to Hallyu culture over the years. I know that this will affect your company, but this is a must, for the sake of the better development of the official so-called Hallyu culture and the better development of the Korean entertainment industry, this cannot be changed. Now, I want to hear what you guys think. ”

Jin Yufan and the four of them were silent, and finally Jin Minying tried to speak: "Since this matter has been decided, then we have nothing to say." I would like to ask if this will be the case in the future. ”

"Yes, that's for sure. Bae Zhongjun did not hesitate, nodded firmly: "Over the years, the country has vigorously developed Hallyu culture, in addition to improving the influence and popularity of South Korea, it has also earned your artists, including your company, for many years. The promotion of Hallyu culture is beneficial to both of us. And the current momentum is very good, why stop it. ”

Park Zhenrong said very dissatisfied: "Then what else do we have to talk about, the newcomers we have cultivated with great difficulty, the Korean market has not yet been stabilized, and you have named them to overseas markets, what should our company do." This is the practice of killing chickens and taking eggs, how can we possibly do it. ”

Yang Hyun-suk's face was also very ugly, and he said slowly in his own unique sharp voice: "Yes, we are not qualified to resist the state, but the state does this." It is clear that we are going to bleed, but the difference between early death and late death, since we all have to die, then what else do we have to say, why do we have to cooperate with the country to carry out Hallyu culture. ”

"Isn't it too much to do this, it's not that we are conceited, but the Hallyu culture, in terms of the music industry, our four companies occupy at least eight layers of the main force and contribution, according to the entire Korean entertainment industry, music, film and television dramas and variety shows, our four companies, the contribution to the Korean Wave, that is definitely more than 25%, just treat us like this, it's too chilling. ”

Kim Min Young couldn't help but sneer when she looked at Bae Jong-jun, although Bae Jong-joon's status is very high and he has absolute real power, Kim Min-young doesn't want to offend. But now that the other party wants to kill them all, leaving no way for himself to live, Kim Min Young has nothing to say.

Can you fight with Li Xiuman and sit firmly S? The position of president of Company M, in addition to his own strength, is also a must.

"This can't be counted like that. Jin Yufan, who had been silent, raised his head, looked at Bae Jongjun and said seriously: "To be honest, the promotion of Hallyu culture in film and television dramas does not have much influence, because it is not that time in 2000 after all." Now for the promotion of Hallyu culture, the most important thing is music and variety shows, and film and television dramas occupy one layer at most. In this way, music accounts for 45% of the promotion of Hallyu culture, and the artists of our four companies are the main force, accounting for 40% of the contribution. ”

Jin Yufan said very calmly and didn't seem to mean anything, but when he said this sentence after Kim Minying, it was obvious that he also expressed Jin Yufan's strong dissatisfaction.

Of course, Pei Zhongjun knew that things couldn't be so smooth, and the dissatisfaction and somewhat cold reaction of the four made Pei Zhongjun see the strong dissatisfaction of the four, and even had a trace of non-cooperation. Of course, what you all said is very reasonable, and the four of you have also played a great role in the promotion of Hallyu culture, so this time I am here to negotiate with you, negotiate with you, see how this matter should be resolved, and try to find an answer that can satisfy both of us. ”

"Then what do you say, at present, you are asking our most popular artists to be sent overseas to explore overseas markets, but you have not given us any guarantees, our base camp has problems, and the entire company will be affected at that time, and even collapse may be possible. Compare your heart to your heart, and if it is you, without any guarantee, if it is you, will you agree? ”

Kim Min Young's sneer and sarcasm, Bae Jong Joon didn't react much, just looked at the four of them, was silent for a while and said: "I can guarantee that in three years, within three years, the artists under your company, according to the strength of your company, plus the popular artists have gone overseas, there are enough resources, it is completely possible to cultivate newcomers into popular groups, and after three years, send these popular groups out to develop overseas markets, how about it!"

For this mention yì. Jin Yufan didn't say anything, but lowered his head and began to think about Pei Zhongjun's mention.

Although Pei Zhongjun meant to ask, his tone clearly stated that this is the bottom line, if you don't accept it, then there is no way. It's a big deal. But the question is, your companies are very good and powerful in the music industry, but can they compete with the country?

Pei Zhongjun knew this, and Jin Yufan and the four of them also knew it, so after listening to Pei Zhongjun's suggestion, he didn't have much reaction, nor was he dissatisfied, but first carefully thought about whether this matter was acceptable.

Three years. With the strength and heritage of the four major brokerage companies, coupled with connections, as long as there are enough resources, it is completely possible to completely train newcomers and become popular singers or groups, which is beyond doubt.

In fact, four years is longer, two years is shorter, and three years is about the same. You must know that even if you don't have enough resources, three years is enough time to train new people. Not to mention if there are still enough resources.

Thinking of this, Kim Woo-beom looked at Kim Min-young, Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-suk, and all four of them couldn't help but nod. Obviously, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism also knows this, and has given a lot of time, and does not intend to force the four major brokerage companies to death.

I thought about it for a moment. Jin Yufan opened his mouth and asked: "So is there a time limit for the artists who originally opened up overseas markets?" For example, unless it is a special circumstance, you can't come back for half a year, maybe a year, and even if you come back, you can't participate in the publicity. ”

Kim Woo-beom's words caught the attention of Kim Min-young and the others. I didn't expect it just now, but with Jin Yufan saying this, the three of them reacted, which is the key.

For example, Kara is developing in Japan right now, but if the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism stipulates that it cannot return to Korea for one year, and it is not allowed to return to Korea for two years, those are completely two different concepts.

A year won't come, the company will run it well, and the impact will not be great, but if you are not allowed to come back for two years, then sorry, Kara will definitely lose popularity and influence in South Korea, and in the case of losing popularity and influence, if Kara has not gained a foothold in Japan and gained popularity and fan support, then Kara will be completely abolished.

The Korean market is small, but no matter how small the market is, it can also give enough popularity support to artists who are ready to develop overseas. If you don't even have the popularity and influence of the base camp, even if you want to go overseas, it's useless, others don't know you, who wants to support you.

Think about it, if TVXQ didn't gain a foothold in South Korea and became the leader of the new generation of groups, and its popularity exploded, but it went directly to Japan to develop just after its debut, not to mention that it might fail, even if it succeeded, it would be very difficult and would take longer.

You must know that even if TVXQ has become the leader of the new generation of team groups in South Korea, it is very popular, and it has gone to Japan to develop, but it is only a small auditorium with hundreds of people singing.

After all, the Korean music scene has been in the music scene for so many years, and there are only a limited number of people who can really go to overseas markets to work hard and succeed without relying on South Korea's popularity and influence, one is BOA and the other is Yin He.

Therefore, it is normal for Korean artists to enter the overseas market, but they definitely dare not ignore the Korean base camp. Once you lose the market in South Korea, you don't have popularity and influence, and it's really hard and very difficult to succeed overseas.

When you enter the Japanese market, when others investigate, it turns out that you are just a second- or third-rate, or even non-mainstream artist group in South Korea, who cares about you, at least it is the top group in South Korea.

Pei Zhongjun was silent for a while, and it took about two minutes before he raised his head and said under the gaze of the four people: "One year!"

"There's nothing negotiable, and I know what you're worried about is nothing more than losing the popularity and influence of the Korean home base. So a year, although it is a bit long, but it is not so long, and when the time comes, it is enough for you to call people back, re-stabilize the base market, and stabilize your popularity and influence. ”

Facing the four of them, Pei Zhongjun said solemnly: "If the artists of your four companies, although they say that they are going to enter overseas, they will come back every few months, or even a month or two, even if only one member promotes it." On the show, it will also make the public remember the combination of this member, which is completely opposite to the hope that the above wants to send your big-name artists out of the base camp market and let small and medium-sized brokerage companies have room for development, and the above will not allow it. ”

"In a year, they developed. Hmph!" Jin Minying couldn't help sneering, I want to develop in a year, I really think that you are one of the four major brokerage companies, even the four major brokerage companies are not sure enough to allow newcomers to grow up quickly in a year, not to mention that small and medium-sized brokerage companies are still under the gaze of the four major brokerage companies.

Although there are no artists in charge, it is certain that it is unhappy to see small and medium-sized brokerage companies seize their own territory and market, and their artists seize the popularity of their own artists. When the time comes, pay more attention and play some tricks secretly, that is also normal and inevitable.

With the annotation and careful "care" of the four major brokerage companies, the artists under the small and medium-sized brokerage companies want to take advantage of the ace artists of the four major brokerage companies to enter the overseas market, and it will take a year to develop without anyone's interference. That's absolutely impossible.

Kim Woo-beom, Park Jin-young, and Yang Hyun-seok couldn't help but laugh, a little happy. There is also some disdain.

Happy because of the time of a year, although the impact is there, it is not big, and it belongs to the range that can be controlled. Disdain is to agree with Jin Minying's words, in one year, small and medium-sized brokerage companies really think that they can be able to do it in just one year. Have you and your artists risen?

"Hehe, that's not my business. Pei Zhongjun loosened his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "This is what the above means, I am just a subordinate, so I naturally do what I am told by the above." As for whether it's right or wrong, that's none of my business. ”

Jin Yufan and the others nodded to Pei Zhongjun with a smile, it is obvious that Jin Yufan and the four of them are willing to deal with Pei Zhongjun, a person who has measure, status and power, and understands the entertainment industry.

Like Zheng Dongcai in the past, he is not familiar with the entertainment industry, but he still pays attention to the development of the entertainment industry, and he has to intervene in everything and make a mess of things, which also makes the four major brokerage companies very uncomfortable.

The two sides chatted about it, and basically reached a verbal agreement, seeing that the matter was done, Pei Zhongjun didn't stay long, said hello and got up to leave.

After all, as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and focusing on the development of the entertainment industry, Bae Jong-jun is of course a very important color at today's annual meeting, although there is a Choi Kwang-sik on it, but Choi Kwang-sik also needs to rely on Bae Jong-jun's introduction to slowly understand some important people in the Korean entertainment industry, especially the bosses of various companies.

Under the leadership of Bae Jong-joon, Choi Kwang-sik first talked to people from the three major Korean TV stations, and then talked with the bosses of the film production company, and finally came to the music agency.

Although the annual meeting is a grand event in the entertainment industry, various circles continue to appear on the scene, and the three major TV stations, including Mnet, are all staying together and not offending each other, but if you take a closer look, you will also find that almost all the people from the TV station are sitting in one area, which also indirectly forms a circle.

Of course, the TV production company also sits in one area, and even because of the frequent cooperation between each other in film shooting, the relationship is far less sensitive and rigid than in the music world, everyone knows each other, and the relationship is not bad, at least they can sit together and chat at will.

In the end, there is a music agency, but even if it is a music agency, it is also divided into circles. Kim Woo-beom sits with the four major brokerage companies composed of Kim Min-young, Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-suk, while Lee Ho-yan sits with GOOD, as well as Mnet's subsidiaries, as for those small brokerage companies, they also sit together.

"I'm sorry, the hospitality is not good, everyone is very forgiving!" Choi Kwang-sik, who took office as Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism two years ahead of schedule, first came to Kim Yu-beom and the four of them, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said to the four with a smile: "Thank you very much, and your company has contributed to the promotion of Hallyu culture over the years." ”

Jin Yufan and the four of them hurriedly stood up, also raised the wine glass in their hands, and said very politely and low-key: "No, no, these are what we should do." ”

Knowing the status and influence of the four major brokerage companies in the Korean music scene, Choi Kwang-sik also plans to have a good chat with the four. Although Choi Kwang-sik took office, he focused more on sports and handed over the cultural aspect to Bae Jong-jun, but Choi Kwang-sik is the minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of South Korea in the end, although he does not manage the cultural field much, but if something really happens, Choi Kwang-sik is also responsible.

Choi Kwang-sik has already known the status and influence of the four major brokerage companies in the Korean music scene from Bae Jong-jun's saying that getting the four major brokerage companies is equivalent to getting the Korean music scene.

In addition, a few days ago, the high-level of the South Korean government issued some orders with compulsive requirements for popular artists under the four major agencies to enter overseas, worried that the four major agencies would have affection, so they planned to sit down and talk to Jin Yufan and the four of them, observe, explain and appease.

In Choi Kwang-sik's heart, his minister is just a temporary and excessive minister, and he can't take it seriously, he will definitely give way when the time comes to elect someone, and if something happens to sports and culture before he is elected, he will definitely have to take responsibility.

Therefore, Cui Guangzhi now does not seek anything else, only stability, and hopes to be safe and smooth. (To be continued......)
