Chapter 005 A New Company Full of Acquaintances (Part I) The Fifth Update
In the whole of the following October, according to Sunny's feedback, Girls' Generation returned to normal under the pressure of Han Shenghao's unintelligent treatment, and finally had a healthy state to face the suppression of wondergirls.
Of course, girls' generation is just barely supporting after all, and the current girl group era still belongs to wondergirls, and these five girls really create miracles like the name of their group. may be because they are the first successful girl group, so the number of fans and the popularity of the songs have changed the voice of the entire Korean song industry. Especially after the rise of Bigbang and TVXQ's withdrawal from Japan, the five girls actually broke out of their own world under the attack of these two boy groups. One of the most iconic events happened on October 7th, when this girl group, which had only debuted for half a year, actually held a concert in Seoul that gathered 20,000 people!
This is in South Korea, not China and Japan! This number has completely lost the voice of many popular singers.
And what about the other girl group, KARA? It seems that it has really disappeared. The joke that circulated on the Internet in the form of jokes seems to have really been confirmed. That's wondergirls soaring into the sky, girls' generation is struggling to support, and KARA is struggling to survive.
So how did Jin Zhongming spend October? In addition to attending classes and studying, he only had one thing to do, that is, he was trying to find his partner, yes, since he had already talked to Yang Xianshuo very clearly, there was no need to think about it, he could directly consider the way back.
At the beginning, he didn't give up calling Hong Shengcheng. But the other party once again explicitly rejected him. President Hong told Kim Jong-ming directly. Although his heart Hyunya is not in good physical condition at the moment, the wondergirls where the little girl is are blooming across the board, so he is also happy, and there is no need to mention this matter again.
"I'm not bad here at JYP, after all, I've been friends with Zhenying for more than ten years, and I can get by with anything, so don't provoke it. Of course, Zhong Ming, if you are willing to come to our company. I'll sweep the couch to greet you, and we're willing to give you a signing fee of 1 billion!" As he spoke, Hong Shengcheng in turn recruited Jin Zhongming.
At the same time, I don't know if Hong Shengcheng did it on purpose, he actually revealed the news that Jin Zhongming was looking for his next home, so for a while, all kinds of magical companies came one after another, and in the end, even Liu Zaishi and others called to recommend companies for him.
"Zhong Ming, come to our E&T company, my good friend Shen Dongye is the majority shareholder of this company. And our company is all friends of Seoul National University of the Arts, and they asked me to tell you. As long as you come, no matter how broad the contract is, it doesn't matter. ”
"Shen Dongye is your good friend?" Jin Zhongming pouted speechlessly. "Brother Shi, you have to be careful, your company is expanding too fast, a year ago it was just an ordinary company, and now it's not a good thing to quickly become a giant with the help of classmates from Seoul National University of the Arts, maybe there will be a time when you will suffer!"
"Not coming?" Liu Zaishi asked disappreciatively.
"Don't go!" Kim Jong Ming said categorically. "And if Brother Shi is interested in building a new company with me, it's just a few people. ”
"Forget it, all the classmates in my company here, how can I just leave. After speaking, Liu Zaishi hung up the phone with a smile.
There were still a lot of such phone calls throughout October, from Lee Seung-gi, who was close to him, to Jiang Hudong, who was considered a close friend, all kinds of phone calls one after another, and there was no tendency to stop, of course, Kim Jong-ming rarely had the patience to reply to these people as seriously as he did to reply to Yoo Jae-seok's call.
However, although some people are impatient with the phone, they dare not be serious.
The last day of October was Halloween, and after lunch at noon, Kim Jong-myung, who was writing a paper at home, received a call from Lee Hyo-ri, who was invincible in the world. "Sister Xiaoli is really rare! is there anything going on?"
"Yes!" Lee Hyori has always been crisp and sharp. "The president of our company has been pestering me recently and I hope I can ask you to come to our company, aren't you looking for a home? ”
"I've already thought about it, and I'm going to have a whole small company by myself, I'm a person who doesn't do commercial performances or songs, so it's better to temporarily serve me as a whole legal company. In the face of Lee Hyori, Kim Jong-myung decided to tell the truth.
"For the time being! Listening to your tone, something is still not sure!" Lee Hyo-ri sensed something as soon as he heard it.
"That's right, I have a sister who is going to be a trainee soon, and I promised her some things, so I'm still thinking about the scale of this company, whether to open a trainee department, whether to make supporting facilities, or to put this girl in another company, it's really worrying!" Jin Zhongming was a little uneasy when he thought of Chu Long's matter, he didn't want to break his promise, and at the same time, this was the fundamental reason why he never said anything in the face of the solicitation of so many companies, even if he was not ready to go to this company, but what if this company's preparatory girl group was more suitable for Chu Long than JYP?
"Then come to our company!" Lee Hyo-ri continued her suggestion. "Although I also think that our president is not very reliable, but even if it is to help me send this president away, you can come and talk to him, and our company currently has two girl groups in preparation, what if it is suitable?"
"How long has it been since the new girl group?" Jin Zhongming immediately cheered up.
"It's a very interesting duo, and this shouldn't be the right fit. Lee Hyo-ri replied embarrassedly. "There is also a multi-person group, but now there is a selection plan"
"Just tell me how many female trainees there are in this company!"
"Seven or eight?" Lee Hyo-ri was even more embarrassed.
Jin Zhongming immediately laughed, this is obviously meaningless, okay? So he didn't show mercy on his lips: "Yes, now all Korean song agencies are preparing for girl groups." Didn't you see the eyes of wondergirls? If there is a girl group, I will be exhausted if I have to make a trip. S.M also has a girl group in preparation, but it's not like my sister's style."
"Are you coming?" Lee Hyo-ri was first impatient by Kim Jong-ming's chatter.
"I'll go!" Jin Zhongming agreed speechlessly. "Even if it's to help you send your president, I'll just go there! ”
"This is it, dress formally, don't embarrass me. ”
Half an hour later, somewhere in Jiangnan and the district.
"President Kim, this location is really good, I'll just say I have an impression of your company. Isn't this the newly established company of CJ Group that specializes in female singers? I signed Sister Hyori for 2.2 billion yuan in 3 years, so I'll just say. Kim Jong-ming directly met Kim Kwang-so and Lee Hyo-ri, the presidents of the other party, who came out to greet each other downstairs in the other company, but he was not in a hurry to enter, but just looked at the other party's building with emotion.
"Mr. Kim Jong Ming misunderstood, we are not a company specializing in female singers. Kim Kwang-so smiled and shook his head. "It's just that when the company first started to prepare, it had to choose other paths in order to bypass the saturated boy band market, and as for the source of this statement, it is mainly due to the fact that our sister company FNC is in charge of boy bands and other things, which in turn makes us look like we specialize in female singers. How about Mr. Kim Jong-ming go in and have a cup of tea? It's always okay to talk together, right?"
"That's okay!" Kim Jong-ming nodded at Lee Hyo-ri, signaling that his mission was complete.
"Then I'll go and get busy first. Lee Hyori also understood what he meant. She stretched out her hand at Kim Kwang-so. "President Kim, my mission has also been accomplished. Don't bother me if it's okay. ”
Lee Hyori is gone, Kim Kwang-so and Kim Jong-ming have no special reaction, this is the level of the invincible Lee Hyori in the world, her style of acting has become a special culture in the Korean entertainment industry, and it is recognized by all members. Just like Mutombo in the NBA, when others shake their fingers, it is called a technical foul, and when Uncle Mu shakes their fingers, it is called the scenery on the basketball court!
"Hey, although our CCMedia is a new company, it is actually an old company, so Mr. Jin Zhongming does not have to worry about any professional problems, we have a lot of veterans. Kim Kwang-so walked in front and introduced, Kim Jong-ming pulled in the back and listened carefully. "I think Mr. Kim Jong Ming should be able to understand that, right?"
"Of course!" Jin Zhongming smiled, how could he not know. CJ Group is one of the most widely involved chaebols in the entertainment industry in South Korea, from music charts to music TV stations to cable TV stations, then movie theaters and established film production companies, and in fact, it is not the first time that Kim Jong-myung has worked with them. And with the development of such a big stall to the present, it is natural to try to cultivate the core product of the entertainment industry by themselves - artists, so long before the establishment of FNC and CCMedia, they had similar institutions, but they were abused as dogs by S.M at that time.
And the question naturally arises, why was a behemoth like CJ abused into a dog by S.M? Where did S.M have the courage to fight against such a big chaebol? Li Xiuman is not afraid that he will be swallowed by CJ one day?
The answer is very simple, there is a bigger giant crocodile behind S.M to support it, that is Samsung, Samsung is absolutely not against CJ, in fact, the grievances and hatreds of these two families can be written in a book. Uh, no, it's one family, this is actually a grievance within the family, because the owners of these two big chaebols are surnamed Li, and the founders are the same person - Samsung Li Bingzhe, but later when this one died, he left Samsung to his third child, and left the rice mill he started to the eldest son who disappointed him, and this rice mill is naturally the predecessor of CJ. But then again, CJ is a small rice mill, which is the largest rice mill in Korea, and they are the largest food processing industry owner in Korea.
"Then, I'll ask directly!" Now that he knows the roots, Jin Zhongming also decided to go straight to the point. "I have a younger sister who has decided to come over at the end of the year as a trainee, does your company have a suitable combination to launch?"
This chapter has been changed three or four times, and even more than a thousand words have been deleted, but I am still not satisfied, but the manuscript is not saved, and two more chapters must be made tonight, so I'm sorry. (To be continued......)
