Chapter 345 Pressure (1)
Some things come without warning.
Suddenly, one night, the five of them ran out to hold a press conference and said:
"The DSP is blaspheming our personality by forcing us to unconditionally engage in acting activities that are not what we want...... That's why we want to terminate the exclusive contract with DSP......"
To be honest, it was cold.
The media and the public are completely incomprehensible that a so-called third-tier combination like Kara, who has won one but only one person, can actually barely lift them to the second tier considering their qualifications...... That's actually a little more practical, frankly speaking, if there is no one in the middle of the year, if they are eighteen-line, then they will be eighteen-line.
In short, such a combination took out the same momentum as TVXQ back then, what kind of personality and contract did it say, is this the wrong medicine?
But now that the news is out, then we have to go over to the DSP company to ask, this is a matter of course, is this the professional ethics of Korean entertainment news reporters? But the DSP company was completely stunned, and they gave this statement after communicating for a while:
"We don't understand what went wrong, we can only say that this press conference is laughable, and the specific situation is not yet known, and then a formal explanation will be issued. ”
No way, the people below don't know what's going on at all, and the people above are completely unprepared, they didn't talk about it yesterday morning, and they started a war the next morning? Even Li Yanhao and Choi Mi-kyung were dumbfounded, Jin Zhongming is really going to burn jade? What is the benefit of doing this? You have come all the way to such a big career and achievement, why are you just 'angry for the crown' for a little kara? This TM is not Girls' Generation or FX. If you change FX, we can understand how much trouble you make. If you change to girlhood, you will break the sky, and everyone will not say anything. But what's going on?
Stunned and followed by anger from the heart, when the five kara people told the media again at noon because they did not get a response, they were ready to ask for help from the Korean Artist Rights Mutual Aid Committee, which had reported their exclusive contracts, hoping to get relevant mediation, and the DSP company finally issued a targeted statement. The statement was simple, but it was tough, as Mr. Lee put it. He can't be cowardly at this time, not to mention that he is really angry, even if he is not angry, he has to bite the bullet.
In the statement, in addition to the previous routine justifications and accusations, the DSP also directly pointed out some things: "There are more powerful people behind this matter who are directing and controlling everything behind the scenes. As early as a few days ago, this gentleman asked DSP for a trading opportunity to invite the whole group of KARA. There is nothing wrong with normal business activities and exchanges, but after being rejected, they turn to contact parents privately, and they are co-opted and bribed, which is really despicable. …… Moreover, in the case of the enormous influence of certain power figures themselves. There is no fairness in seeking mediation from the Korea Artists Mutual Rights Committee...... We will do our best to defend our legal rights, and we will continue to communicate with the five KARAs!"
Then, a staff member of DSP directly revealed to the familiar media that Jin Zhongming came to visit his president and his wife yesterday. And then? The media reacted immediately, and they were excited, they really don't care about kara's second- and third-tier girl groups, but Kim Jong Ming is big news!
"I know why the rumors are reaching me. Kim Jong-ming casually accepted a group interview with the media blocking there in the hall on the first floor of CUBE that afternoon, but he behaved very calmly. "Because I do recognize the commercial value of Kara, and I did visit President Lee Yeon-ho yesterday because of the kara contract issue, and I also broke up with the other party for a while because of the position, but I want to state that I am not the one who bought Kara, even if I am tempted. ”
"What does that mean?" the reporters smelled.
"At that time, I was working as an intermediary with Kim Yong-sub, the director of SBS, and Tae Jin-a, a senior of the Singer Association, to discuss the contract transfer with DSP. Jin Zhongming's face was calm and conclusive. "But maybe it's because I and kara have a deep personal relationship, so I'm very dissatisfied with such an excellent combination and friends smashed into the hands of DSP company, so the position in my words is more biased, which has attracted dissatisfaction and misunderstanding from DSP company......"
"You mean, the company or person who is buying KARA and the company or person who is currently communicating with kara is indeed someone else?" The reporters basically had doubts about Kim Jong-ming after hearing the names of Kim Yong-sub and Tae Jin-a, the credibility of these three people together is much stronger than that of DSP companies, and it sounds like a lineup of middlemen, but there is one last thing that needs to be clear. "Then is this person President Hong Shengcheng?"
"It's not. Jin Zhongming shook his head very seriously. "I can tell you directly and clearly that it is another brokerage company, and the business scale is also very large, but it has nothing to do with our CUBE. Of course, I'm still the same sentence, my position is actually very biased, because since 07, my relationship with Shengyan and her sisters has been very close, everyone is the same age, and there will naturally be more topics, and I have been very happy with Hola since "Youth Undefeated". At the same time, everyone should know the current situation of DSP companies, and President Lee is no longer in charge, but Ms. Choi Mi-kyung's business level is outrageous...... Of course, I shouldn't talk about other people's family affairs, but ...... In any case, if you ask me about my attitude towards this matter, my inclination is simple and direct, and I am glad to make a corresponding effort to resolve it, and it is infuriating to say that there is no fairness in the Commission......"
So, the reporters went to find Kim Yong-sub and Tae Jin-a again. Kim Yong-sub, the old fox, just hides on SBS TV and doesn't come out, and everyone has no problem. But Tae Zhen'er is too easy to find, and although Tae Zhen'er's position in the interview is also biased (he is biased towards DSP company), he really did not make any direct refutation of Kim Jong-ming's words...... Thereupon. The media confirmed Kim Jong-ming's claim. And turn to find the real mastermind......
"He thought this kind of pediatric-like thing would be effective?" Li Yanhao was about to laugh angrily. "Who will Kara fall into in the end, and his reputation will be doubled...... We're just going to spend it. I'll see how he ends!"
"But ......" Cui Meijing had a headache. "But why did he name me? Didn't you say that he would go to fight us in other areas? Now there are already people outside who are talking nonsense about me!"
That might be what he really thought. Li Yanhao explained helplessly. "It's no secret that I'm going to give you the DSP and this building, so he's ready to put pressure on you directly, which is the right thing to do tactically...... So Mikyo, I've wronged you. But it doesn't matter, bear with me, when he can't get off the stage, there will be problems over there soon. ”
Choi Mi-kyung squeezed out a little smile.
However, Jin Zhongming didn't give this side a chance to spend it at all. Because that night, just like a script that had been written a long time ago, the media dug up the real 'mastermind behind the scenes' of this matter, and this is still a super big man who shocks the eyeballs and is enough to make all the media fight again-KEYEAST boss, director of S.M company, and Bae Yongjun, the most representative figure of Korean dramas!
The evidence is conclusive, and a reporter took a photo of kara's five parents or guardians going in and out of KEYEAST with Bae Yongjun and then going to dinner!
Damn! This is the unanimous thought of all ordinary South Koreans after returning home and watching today's news. What the hell is going on with Kara, or do you simply want to ask what kind of combination this is? Why did Lee Yeon Ho and Bae Yong Joon get into a fight? Why did you make a fuss between DSP and KEYEAST? Kim Jong-myung, Tae Jin-a, and Kim Yong-sub, the head of SBS?!
That's not the right script, right?
I don't know, anyway, the DSP company found out that all the songs that hit the street before KARA began to appear on the music chart, because I don't know how many people want to know what this kara is for!
To be honest, the appearance of these three words Pei Yongjun turned everything upside down.
Not to mention the thoughts of Li Yanhao and his wife who were almost broken that night - they felt that Kim Jong-ming would rather not have Kara than dump the pot. It is also necessary to take such a breath as domineering as possible, and ruthlessly take out his own resources and money to make his side suffer. This makes them really a little helpless. Let's just talk about the media, early the next morning, with the release of the paper media, coupled with the full range of online media, this matter finally began to completely ferment and erupt!
First of all, it's the three major newspapers, even if they don't know who Kara is, they don't care about this matter, but because of the news effect, the three major newspapers all mentioned this matter in the form of tofu blocks.
After introducing this incident, Dong-A Ilbo analyzed it from the perspective of the market economy, and they believed that this was a manifestation of the fact that the entertainment market, which was in good condition, attracted more capital coveting when the economy could not recover. Therefore, even a combination like Kara, which only has the potential to have good prospects, will attract fierce competition if the company itself falls into instability.
"JoongAng Ilbo" mentioned Bae Yongjun's complicated economic relationship in passing, especially that he also holds a considerable amount of shares in S.M, hinting at the contribution of S.M, the largest idol brokerage company in South Korea, and at the same time, they also recalled the glorious years when S.M and DSP competed for hegemony, as well as the story that Lee so-man and Lee Yeon-ho had to tell...... I don't know what the confused Lee so-man and Kim Young-min will think.
"Chosun Ilbo" is very interesting, they actually focused on Choi Mi-kyung, although it was only a brief mention, chatted a few words, and did not directly say anything bad. But the constant implication that an unprofessional family heir will have a bad impact on the business is still obvious, uh, still obvious. However, no one thinks it is strange to say that the disgusting demeanor of "Chosun Ilbo" has always taken the world as its own responsibility, South Korea's economic ecology is a habitual family group, and then cross-control to form a chaebol, and often a loser will have an impact on the national economy......
In short, everyone nodded convincingly after reading this tofu block, well, "Chosun Ilbo" really takes the safety of the world as its own responsibility, and this idea is high!
However, some people are a little sad and angry when they see this report, that is, Ms. Cui Meijing, who has been wronged for more than ten years and is still grieved, she really can't stand it!
Jin Zhongming's way of attacking made her pressure increase sharply, who didn't care about it.
