Chapter 205: Victims?(1)
In the end, Kim Jong Ming still put on jeans with holes, a square plaid knit sweater, and uh, a brown scarf that looked like a lump or something! No way, compared to leggings, Jin Zhongming still thinks that jeans with holes are more suitable, and this knitwear can barely be said, as for the scarf, I don't know what this group of bombards thinks, they each chose a huge scarf, and the style is more strange than the other, and the color is more ugly than the other, you don't let him choose this, do you want him to choose the pink scarf brought by Pani? Or use the scarf embroidered with frog Juncao brought by Xu Xian?
What are you kidding? Xiuying's outfit is already the most normal outfit!
"Shoes!" Xiuying circled around Jin Zhongming with great interest. "The shoes were changed to sneakers. ”
"And then?" asked Jin Zhongming helplessly put on his shoes. "Isn't it time to take pictures? After taking pictures, you can leave, you have to take a break on the big weekend." At this point, he suddenly turned his head to PD and asked. "By the way, do you give a fee for this?"
The audience fell silent, everyone was pretending to be dead, even Xiuying, who helped Kim Jong-ming sort out his clothes, didn't say a word.
"What about the magazines? Don't I pay them for being a model?" Kim Jong-ming did not give up.
Everyone's brains are lowering.
"Don't you even have a boxed lunch?" Kim Jong-ming stretched out his hands and posed out a big character, and then continued to be poor while letting Xiuying help him tidy up.
"I'll call you after the show is over. Sika glanced at Jin Zhongming faintly. "You were invited by us temporarily, can we pay for it?"
"Ah~. Jin Zhongming looked up at all his thoughts. "How about deducting it from your living expenses?"
When everyone heard this, they naturally laughed again, and even Sika and the others were amused, they still have 'survival idols' since their debut, at least in the past six months. When M didn't advertise them, they still had to ask for living expenses from their families.
“Oppa。 Where do you usually do your music?" and the others decided to get down to business after discussing it. "We're going to shoot a set of musical portraits for you, with guitar and piano."
"I only have a guitar at home, no piano. Jin Zhongming stomped his foot, he was still a little uncomfortable with the outfit on his body. "And I usually make music in the company now......"
"What then?" asked Parney, blankly.
"Go to your company, it's close to here and it's well equipped. Jin Zhongming replied disapprehantly. After a few temptations, he is now lacking interest in this variety show, this is a typical 'group variety', it is for fans, the jokes and content of the show itself are almost empty, and it is meaningless, no matter how much he participates, he can't help much, since that's the case, let's get rid of it quickly.
In this way, Jin Zhongming left Krystal and Chu Long at home, and followed the program team and Sika and others to S alone. Inside the M company. In front of the music equipment there. He simply set up the pose according to the requirements of several girls and completed the shooting, and his attitude should be more and more decent, so that they were helpless.
After the filming was completed, Jin Zhongming called Wang Zhongbing again and asked him to go and express his feelings to the people in the program team, and he himself came to Li Xiuman's office with ease.
"Who gave you the courage to come to our company?" Li Xiuman was sitting behind his desk drinking tea, and his eyes were straight when he saw Jin Zhongming pushing the door in, and it took a long time to ask this sentence.
"The people from your company invited me to come. Jin Zhongming sat down in front of the other party with a natural face. It's like coming to one of your company's offices to inspect your work. "That factorygirl asked me to take some fashion photoshoot, and then I was blocked in the house and then forcibly pulled over. And they said you can ask for an appearance fee......"
"Girls' Generation's Tuanzong, you asked me for an appearance fee?" Li Xiuman found that whenever he saw Jin Zhongming recently, he always laughed involuntarily, uh, he was laughed at.
"Not really. Jin Zhongming picked up a poster sample of TVXQ on the other party's table and stared at it, and waved his hand at the other party very considerately. "I know that TVXQ has not made as much money as you expected this return, and the outbreak of the last two months in the music industry can't hide the coldness of the record market for most of the previous half a year. Otherwise, wouldn't you go around telling people that I don't understand the elderly?"
Li Xiuman was laughed angrily again: "What are you here for?"
"What do you say?" Jin Zhongming retracted his previous face of not caring about anything and turned serious, and at the same time threw back the pictorial in his hand. "Sika, their current situation should come to an end......
"I know that!" Li Xiuman stretched out his hand to interrupt Kim Jong-ming's speech. "Don't I know about my group?"
The corners of Jin Zhongming's mouth curled slightly, revealing an obvious mockery.
"Jin Zhongming!" Li Xiuman was even more angry this time, he thought that the other party was mocking his grasp of the combination of Girls' Generation. "Don't laugh, I've had an idea about the comeback of Girls' Generation. But everything is done through observation and market feedback. In October, we thought it might work, so we asked them to try to make a comeback, but then there was a more serious one in Shanghai, so we protected them again. Now we have this "factorygirl" in our hands, and this show will be broadcast live until Christmas, and this thing will intuitively reflect the acceptance of them in the Korean market, and as long as the ratings come up, we will naturally ......."
"Don't tell me these things. Jin Zhongming became impatient after hearing a few words. "I'm not the rookie I was again, and now I know the truth here. ”
Li Xiuman's heart moved, and then he really stopped preaching.
"In the past, I was too young, and I always relied on my intuitive feeling that the idol industry was too cruel and ruthless, and at the same time thought that the success and fall of these idols had rich stories and wonderful humanistic plots."
"And now?" Li Xiuman interjected.
"Now, of course, now it's figured out. Jin Zhongming said after laughing self-deprecatingly. "In the final analysis, it's just a word for money! The treatment, resources, unity, rise and even fall apart of this group of idols. It all depends on how much profit they bring to the company and themselves as a cultural commodity. After all, this thing is a mature industry in South Korea, but this industry is just run by people. ”
"I saw this through when I was around '98, and then I introduced the myth and the hot group of people to Japan and China as commodities, and then ...... Of course, at that time, only the Japanese market was successfully developed. Li Xiuman sighed as he spoke. "It's amazing that you can jump out and look at this stuff at such a young age. Especially if you have two younger sisters in this industry chain, this kind of emotional thing will generally easily blind people's eyes. He smiled wryly at this. "Looks like you've evolved. ”
"Then let's go back to Girls' Generation!" Kim Jong Ming chuckled and pulled the other party back from his memories. "I see things differently, and I can understand what happened before. Now that I think about it, your company pulled Girls' Generation out to engage in an affair strategy with TVXQ and SJ, I'm afraid it's not just to let them follow the popularity of the two groups of senior brothers to increase their own popularity, right?"
Li Xiuman lowered his head and smiled, not admitting but not denying it either.
"During the period after the debut of Girls' Generation, TVXQ was certainly the leader of your company, but SJ also rose quickly. Of course, you are reluctant to give up a new cash cow, so the fans of SJ and TVXQ obviously feel that the resources are tilted to SJ's side, so the two artists and fans are not very happy. ”
Li Xiuman nodded frankly: "It was true at that time. ”
"Then Wondergirls left South Korea, and Girls' Generation was faced with a huge opportunity for growth. Jin Zhongming continued to analyze, but his tone became stronger and stronger. "So your old man didn't do anything, and simply let Girls' Generation go up. On the one hand, you certainly want to hype up their popularity, but on the other hand, why don't you take their new combination and have no economic value. What about being the sacrifice of those two cash cows? Then, they can bear the grievances and dissatisfaction of the fans of those two groups. Isn't that right? If the popularity goes up, then everything will be fine. But you have expected this situation now, right? Isn't it a sacrifice that dies in the process of sacrifice?"
Li Xiu bowed his head expressionlessly and took a sip of tea.
Speaking of this, Jin Zhongming raised his head and sighed with emotion: "So, the Chinese language is broad and profound, even if Korean is only a variant of the Chinese language, it has inherited these things." The word sacrifice. Both the original meaning and the meaning of the reference are vividly reflected here. ”
"And then you dismantled SJ!" replied Li Xiuman calmly raised his head. "We're even. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, it's early. Jin Zhongming continued to tilt his head and fight-for-tat.
"Then go out and do some work? Don't talk nonsense with me here! Aren't you going to buy TVXQ? Didn't you go to Kim Jae-joong's house? Don't you want him to open an online store?" Li Xiuman was not to be outdone. "You can also go to Park Youtian's house and Jung Yunhao's house to have a look?"
"I have to be optimistic about Girls' Generation first!" Kim Jong Ming sneered. "It's all because Sika is in there, otherwise why would I be involved in all this?"
"I've been very careful with them because of your existence, if it weren't for you, I would have pulled them out to fight for the last time!" Li Xiuman said unabashedly. "Make a toxic song like 'TellMe' and make them gamble at the end of the year, and if they can do it, they will live or die. ”
"What about Sunny?" the mockery on Kim Jong-ming's face intensified. "Your brother has entrusted his daughter to you. How dare you ruin her path with your own hands?"
"Since my brother handed over my niece to me, I will hold it with my own hands!" Li Xiuman was furious. "That's my niece, S. The shares of Company M can be divided equally between her and my two sons!
"What now?" asked Jin Zhongming thoughtlessly.
"What's now?" Li Xiuman asked impatiently.
"I mean, don't make any assumptions, just tell me what the hell you're going to do with this combination now?"
"I'm still worried about you now, so I've decided to take a look and give them two more chances."
"No need to delay, no need to give two chances. Jin Zhongming sat up straight and looked at the other party and replied. "I'm going to give them a fight myself, a song like 'TellMe.' ”
"Be specific. Li Xiu was concise and to the point.
"For a new mini-album, I'll be the producer, and I'll have all the production rights for this album, including the release time, styling, song arrangement, etc., and I'll also be the writer and MV director of the title song. Jin Zhongming picked up a pen on the other party's table with his backhand and wrote it directly on the back of TVXQ's poster. "But at the same time, I want the full assistance of your company, professional choreography, stylists, music equipment, production venues, skilled feats, and sufficient production funds ......"
"I can promise you, I can promise you anything. Li Xiuman stretched out his hand and snatched the poster, and then pointed to the poster and said. "But I need you to promise me this. ”
"What?" Kim Jongming was puzzled.
"This!" Li Xiuman tapped the Dongshen poster in his hand again. "Don't tease TVXC anymore, okay? You've already killed SJ, and now this combination is the only cash cow we have!"
Jin Zhongming sneered.
"If you promise me, I will promise you. Li Xiuman held back his anger and said. "Otherwise, it will be split in two. ”
"I won't promise you, but you have to promise me. Jin Zhongming grinned.
"Get out!" Li Xiuman simply stretched out his hand and pointed to the door.
Jin Zhongming immediately got up and left.
