Chapter 825: Annual Meeting (I)
Looking at such a thick stack of invitations, Jin Yufan fell silent.
I don't know why, after Kim Yu-beom crossed, nothing else in South Korea changed, but these award ceremonies changed. Because these award ceremonies are now held during the year-end and New Year holidays, not in a single time period like in Korea before the time crossing.
"Brother, what do you mean?" After a moment of silence, Jin Yufan asked.
Hong Shengcheng shook his head with a smile and said, "You are the president of the company, it doesn't matter what I mean, what matters is your opinion." After all, you are the president of the company, and it is impossible for the company to forcibly arrange a trip for you. β
Jin Yufan fell silent, and finally thought for a while before deciding: "Brother you can help me push these award ceremonies." Now I don't have that mind, all my thoughts are on the new album and the next events, I don't have time. Of course, brother, you can help me push it off, and you have to be tactful. β
After thinking about it, Jin Yufan continued: "Of course, I know that this will make it very difficult for you, brother, but from next year, I will participate in the major award ceremonies in South Korea as much as possible, and you can tell the organizers about this, so that they don't feel resentful." β
It didn't seem strange at all that Jin Yufan's choice was made, Hong Shengcheng put aside a stack of invitations with a smile, looked at Jin Yufan and said with a smile: "What, you are ready to continue to be cold." β
"Hehe, let's be cold for the last time. Jin Yufan nodded with a smile.
Kim Yu-beom started his debut, in the early days, because he was too busy to have no time, he had to keep working to make money for DSP to maintain the company's operation, and in the middle of the year, he went directly to the army to serve for three years, and after he retired from the army, he was busy creating an MC company, and he really didn't have much time to attend the award ceremony.
In addition, in addition to work, Jin Yufan is very low-key and does not appear in the public eye. This also made countless people laugh and joke, thinking that it was Jin Yufan who took the cold and mysterious route.
This also makes many people look forward to seeing which family has a big face and can invite Jin Yufan to participate in the award ceremony for the first time. After a long time, everyone is also numb, and the anticipation from the beginning. It turned into waiting.
Waiting often means a lot of people's attention, which also means that as long as Jin Yufan agrees to participate in that family's award ceremony, he will definitely get huge attention at that time, which is definitely a huge boost for the organizers, whether it is the ratings or the fame and signboard of the award ceremony.
Because of this, eight years after his debut, Kim Yu-beom has not participated in any award ceremonies, except for the three years of military service. Almost every year, as the end of the year approaches, countless award ceremony organizers will send invitations to Jin Yufan.
Although Jin Yufan declined again and again, it seems that it is the same as Jin Yufan, the invitation has never been interrupted, on the contrary, the organizer will try every way to send out all the connections that can be played, just to invite Jin Yufan to participate.
The organizers are well aware. With Jin Yufan's current popularity and influence, and the longer he refuses to attend the award ceremony, the longer it will take. Just like the longer the wine is stored, the greater the value, so the invitation to Jin Yufan is also paid more and more attention, and the treatment and inviters in all aspects are becoming more and more important.
Able to hold a major in Korea. And the very influential award ceremony, any organizer is not a small role, if it weren't for Jin Yufan's refusal to be very tactful, plus he didn't participate in other award ceremonies, so that these organizers would still be able to get by. It is estimated that he must have been dissatisfied for a long time and began to deal with Jin Yufan.
There is no doubt that although the energy of the organizers is not small, it has not reached the top level in Korea. Knowing that Jin Yufan is awesome, he can bear the pressure of the Samsung Li family, and forcefully force Zheng Dongyong and Hyun Jung-eun to bow their heads and admit defeat, only those who have reached the top circle in South Korea know.
Although the organizers of the award ceremony have a lot of energy, they have not reached the Cheng dΓΉ of Korea's top families and collectives, so they don't know about these things. Because Jin Yufan provoked these organizers, these organizers will really attack and retaliate against Jin Yufan.
Eh~~~ Of course, with Jin Yufan's character and his own strength, once things really fall out and completely tear his face, it is not clear who will strike and retaliate against whom.
Seeing that Kim Yu-fan said that he would not continue to do this next year and would participate in all the award ceremonies as much as possible, Hong Shengcheng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Kim Yu Fan is the president of the MC company, Jin Yu Fan really doesn't want to participate, Hong Shengcheng has no way to take Jin Yu Fan even if he is the president of MC. But as the president of MC, Hong Shengcheng's thoughts are all about the MC company, and every refusal of Kim Yufan makes Hong Shengcheng feel the huge pressure brought by the organizers.
Now, Kim Yu-fan is finally relieved and willing to participate in the award ceremony, although it is next year, but this at least allows Hong Shengcheng to give an explanation to the organizers.
I believe that in a year's time, the organizers can still afford to wait, and they are willing to wait, after all, eight years will not wait like this.
Hong Shengcheng also knows that when it comes to next year, the organizers will definitely cross the sea and try their best to strive for Jin Yufan's first award ceremony to be their own, and there will definitely be a very fierce fight and competition at that time.
In this regard, Hong Shengcheng said that he is happy to see this situation, after all, this will reflect the value of Jin Yufan, and it will also allow the organizer to consider and take care of the MC company as much as possible in order to invite Jin Yufan.
To put it bluntly, in order to invite Jin Yufan, the organizer will take care of the artists under the MC company as much as possible at their own awards ceremony.
In this way, the artists of the MC company have won more awards, the value of the artists has doubled, the value of the zΓ o can be higher, and the company can also make more money.
Secondly, MC company's artists have won so many awards, which also proves the strength of MC company, as well as the resources and support for artists, which can greatly increase the company's fame and influence, including attractiveness, which is also a huge benefit to the company's development.
Therefore, Hong Shengcheng is very happy and willing to see the organizers of major award ceremonies fighting for the first award ceremony that Kim Yufan will participate in next year. Willingly hemorrhaged.
Hong Shengcheng: "By the way, Yu Fan, the end of the year is coming, and when the time comes, you still need to come forward in terms of the annual meeting." β
"Annual meeting!" Jin Yu Fan was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded and said, "Well, I know brother." Don't worry, I'll go when the time comes. β
"That's good, the time is the day after tomorrow, the location is at the Shilla Hotel, and it is said that this time it belongs to the home of the Samsung Li family. β
"The Shilla Hotel, the three-star Li family!" Jin Yufan muttered and couldn't help laughing.
The annual meeting, in the final analysis, is also an act of South Korean official Γ to grab money at the end of the year. Because South Korea seems to have a very good economy on the surface, but it is a small country in the end. A single economic crisis can affect South Korea for many years.
South Korea's economy seems to be developing very well, but in fact this is just a superficial illusion. The impact of the Southeast Asian financial crisis in '97 is still there, South Korea has not fully recovered, and it has encountered last year's financial and subprime mortgage crisis in the United States, which has dealt a huge blow to South Korea, which is very dependent on the United States.
Now the South Korean economy seems to be very good, but in fact, only the real high-level officials of South Korea, or the top powers, know. South Korea's current economic growth is more of a bubble growth. Very unstable.
The collapse of the Daewoo Group in '97 led to the collapse of the '08 Asian financial crisis, fortunately, the '08 subprime mortgage crisis occurred in the United States, although the whole world was affected, but overall it was much better than the '97 Asian financial crisis, and Asian countries would not be directly affected the most.
But even so, South Korea's economic growth has turned into what it is today. The current economic situation in South Korea is like a spring that has been stretched to the limit, and if it is slightly affected by an external force, it will break instantly, and the impact will be brought by the time. That is something that the South Korean government, including the major families and collectives in South Korea, dare not imagine.
In the face of the financial crisis of '97, the myth of the Daewoo Group collapsed, and in the face of the situation at that time, the South Korean government was powerless, so it could only pay attention to the heads of major families and collectives in South Korea.
This is why there will be the appearance of the annual meeting, and the appearance of the annual meeting is, to put it bluntly, a meeting between the government and the top families and groups in South Korea, and a robbery activity by the South Korean government against the major families and collectives in South Korea in an open and honest manner for the sake of the country and the people
Of course, if you are more objective, it cannot be said that the South Korean government is robbing, but rather a transaction. Because of the annual meeting, the major families and collectives in South Korea will give a sum of money to support the South Korean government, and the South Korean government has also promised to take care of the big families and large groups participating in the annual meeting in some policies and small aspects.
It is precisely because of this that with the passage of time, the annual meeting has been held again and again, and the dependence of the South Korean government on the major families and collectives in South Korea has also increased, and the major families and collectives have also actively participated in the contact with the government in order to avoid taking the back road of the Daewoo Group, and generously throw money to make their life charms stronger.
Nowadays, the annual meeting has been held for more than ten sessions, and every year the South Korean government will invite South Korea's top families and large groups to participate, and gradually developed to a meeting where the South Korean government invites leaders in South Korea's major fields, and everyone chats, eats, and communicates with each other during the annual meeting, so as to better help the development of South Korea.
With the rise of the Korean Wave in 2000, the influence of Korean entertainment has also created more and more value, since Lee so-man ran away, after 2005, finally started the first cultural annual meeting in South Korea.
For example, the Korean Cultural Annual Conference is an annual meeting for the Korean entertainment industry, and the Korean government will take into account various factors and invite the presidents of Korea's top brokerage companies and artists who have made great contributions to the Korean Wave to participate.
MC company is currently in the influence has been with S? Company M is on par, that is the influence in Asia, it is the influence in Southeast Asia. But in South Korea, MC's influence has long surpassed that of S? Company M, and in terms of revenue, also surpassed the S? Company M is the No. 1 brokerage company in the Korean music industry.
Therefore, there will definitely be the name of MC company on the list of the government's annual meeting, and the South Korean government knows that the real head of MC company is Kim Yufan, not Hong Shengcheng, so the invitation to MC company is naturally the head of Kim Yufan.
If it's an S? Company M's words. S? The bosses behind Company M are not involved in S? Company M, the invitation is useless, naturally it is the invitation to manage S? The head of Company M, that is, the president Kim Min-young.
On the fifth day of the new year, the annual meeting between the South Korean government and the heads of major brokerage companies in the Korean entertainment industry officially began.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Kim Yu-beom and Lu He, who were ready, rushed to the Shilla Hotel, the venue of the annual meeting. It is not the first time that Jin Yufan has participated in this kind of annual meeting. Not unfamiliar.
But to be honest, if Jin Yufan had a choice, he would rather not participate, or let Hong Shengcheng participate, and he would not want to. Although the annual meeting is also a huge opportunity, many artists and agencies will set up cooperation plans with each other.
"Haha, Chairman Kim is here. "Under the guidance of the staff of the Shilla Hotel, Kim Yu-beom has just come out of the elevator and is ready to walk to the venue where last year's meeting will be held. I saw Bae Jongjun laughing and greeted him.
"Hehe!" Seeing that it was Pei Zhongjun, Jin Yufan also laughed happily, sped up and walked over, and hugged Pei Zhongjun fiercely.
If you want to say that the entire Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of South Korea appreciates Kim Yu-beom and has a good impression, it is estimated that there is only Bae Jong-joon. The former Jung Dong Chae is definitely a mortal enemy, and the newly appointed Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Choi Kwang-sik. Jin Yufan has never dealt with each other, and there is no relationship at all.
Only this deputy minister of culture, sports and tourism in front of him. Pei Zhongjun, who is young but stable and capable, and more importantly has his own bottom line, makes Jin Yufan have a good impression.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of South Korea seems to know this, so after Kim Yu-beom ousted Jung Dong-chae, any orders and requirements of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism were actually for Bae Jong-jun to explain to the MC company. Or to sue sΓΉ Jin Yufan.
There's no way, I'm afraid that Jin Yufan won't give face to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism like before, but fortunately, Jin Yufan is a face for Pei Zhongjun, and as long as the request is not too much, Jin Yufan basically agrees.
Jin Yufan: "I really didn't expect it. I feel extremely honored that the Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Tang Tang actually met me in person!"
Pei Zhongjun's face changed, but he quickly laughed again, patted Jin Yufan's guest and said: "Ya Xi, you guy is really uncomfortable, what do you say so well, to put it bluntly, I was just arranged here to receive you receptionists who are big names in the company." β
Regarding Bae Jong-jun's words, Jin Yufan just smiled, he wouldn't take it seriously at all, and he couldn't take it seriously.
Joke, this is the vice minister of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of South Korea, if you really see the other party as a receptionist, then Kim Yu-beom believes that Bae Jong-jun will use his own way to let you know what the deputy minister of culture, sports and tourism does, especially for the major companies in the Korean entertainment industry.
In fact, Bae Jong-joon's appearance here to greet the guests was mainly at the request of Choi Kwang-sik. Because Choi Kwang-sik is not familiar with the presidents or presidents of Korean companies, after all, he has just taken office, and this is Choi Kwang-sik's first annual meeting. Therefore, Pei Zhongjun was specially asked to greet every guest, at least Pei Zhongjun's identity and status are destined not to be rude, and it is impossible for that person to say that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is arrogant and unsightly, and casually sends someone to greet him.
Uh~~~ Well, even if the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is really arrogant, it is estimated that the major brokerage companies only dare to be angry. really annoyed the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, then you don't want to mix in the Korean entertainment industry.
"Alright, without further ado, you go in first, and I'll continue to greet guests here. After a brief conversation, Pei Zhongjun enthusiastically pushed the door open for Jin Yufan and let Jin Yufan in. This is also the reason why Kim Woo-beom gave face to Bae Jong-jun and made many orders from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and after Bae Jong-jun explained, MC Company was willing to cooperate to give face.
Otherwise, no matter how high the other party's status is, as long as it is a person from an entertainment industry agency, then he is absolutely not qualified to let Pei Zhongjun personally open the door for you.
"Yes, I see. Jin Yufan nodded, stopped as soon as he took a step, and asked curiously: "By the way, Minister Pei, will those brokerage companies come to this annual meeting?"
"Hehe, you also said that this is the annual meeting, and everyone who should come will come, and there will be no less one you can think of. After all, this annual meeting is held by our Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, and if those guys still want to develop in the Korean entertainment industry, they dare not come. β
"Hehe, that's right!" Jin Yufan nodded with a smile, then greeted Bae Jongjun, and then turned around and walked into the venue.
Walking into the venue, Jin Yufan found that it was a large hall, which was estimated to accommodate more than a hundred people. Looking at the fact that there were probably dozens of people coming at this time, almost half of them, it is estimated that it will not officially start for a while and a half, Jin Yufan smiled, found a remote corner casually, and then took out his mobile phone and started playing.
Although Jin Yufan didn't care, with Jin Yufan's current status, how could he not attract the attention of others.
In fact, as soon as Jin Yufan entered the venue, the people who had already arrived noticed Jin Yufan's arrival. If it weren't for the fact that Jin Yufan didn't say a word, he directly chose a remote place to sit down and play with his mobile phone, looking not very like being disturbed, otherwise, countless people would have surrounded him and began to make friends with Jin Yufan, hoping to cooperate.
