Chapter 40: Boys, Variety, and the Future
Lin Ke held a pencil between the ring finger and middle finger of his right hand, and shook it gently without a sound, occasionally stopping shaking and writing two words on the file in front of him, marking it. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info looked like he was listening attentively to Li Daoxun on the right side, but half of his mind was empty, and half of his mind was on Cui Zhenhao on his left and Hong Shengcheng a little farther away.
The content of Li Daoxun's speech is very simple, Lin Ke acquired several companies in the United States and "saved" the American D.K Entertainment. Park Junfeng represented Lin Ke and handed them over to a professional management team to manage, capitalism is good, as long as you can afford to pay for it, there is a clear direction for doing things. There are people who can help you do everything. Lee Do-hoon is talking about the two main projects that D.K Entertainment Headquarters is doing.
One project is a little boy on YouTube, which has not attracted the attention of Hong Seung-sung and Choi Jin-ho today, even though this little boy has already gotten millions of hits on YouTube since he joined D.K. with Arthur the Kid. Lin Ke doesn't know much about this ***, but before buying him, he also knew clearly that this is a project worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the future, and there may be close to ten figures in the future who think he is the next Michael Jackson. Of course, the number of his black fans will easily exceed ten figures.
Lin Ke was reborn and knew that the future was uncontrollable, so if he couldn't see more than ten times the benefits, he wouldn't easily change anything that had nothing to do with him. For example, this collaboration with NBC.
The various fires of music programs in the future, from the appearance of it, everyone will feel that suddenly many music celebrities are willing to appear on TV, and many people think that it is just about money. But this also has a lot to do with TV broadcast technology, Lin Ke knows that a few master musicians almost don't go on TV shows a major reason, that is, the effect of TV recording, only a simple melody, can not show the beauty of music at all, everyone feels the charm of music more through the exaggerated expressions of live variety shows, rather than the music itself. And through a little technological innovation, this fundamental contradiction was later resolved. Only then did more and more celebrities enter the TV, and music programs appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
This is not as simple as making a simple icon that compares the microphone to two, and getting a few people to turn chairs on the stage. The collaboration between D.K and NBC is a reality music show called "The Voice of America" (aka "America's Good Chair"). Inside, it is the team he "saved" to solve the technical problems of music broadcasting. Judging from the current progress, when the first season of "The Voice of America" airs next year, it should be able to present TV viewers with an unprecedented auditory experience. Even if it is far from the standard of the field.
After Lee Do-hoon gave a brief introduction to the situation in D.K. America, Hong Seung-sung and Choi Jin-ho glanced at each other. No wonder Universal Music was so good at talking before, it turned out that the parent companies of the two sides had deeper entanglements of interests in the United States, and CUBE was not so important in Universal, especially after multi-party intervention may lose the right to speak.
Next, everyone began to talk boringly about the work that Cui Zhongshi did in the early stage and the debut of 2AM. These are all things that Lin Ke is not very interested in and can't interject, so Lin Ke puts more energy on Cui Zhenhao on his left.
Cui Zhenhao looks to be only in his early thirties, with a slightly round face and black-framed glasses. Underneath the average black suit, he wore his third plaid shirt of the week. It was this person who served as the agent of WG, 4 Minutes and apink. The later APINK is probably the most "round" girl idol group in Korea. Lin Ke put him at the top of the list for Cui Zhongshi because he was good to his female artists, and if HANI chose to join the company in the future, he would be much more at ease. And he was selected by Cui Zhongshi, which also shows his outstanding ability.
However, now, he is good to his female artists, which has just become the most laughable thing for Lin Ke. Because people have brought a wave of "daughters". So where will the T-ARA go?
After a few days of contact, Lin Ke found that Hong Shengcheng and Cui Zhenhao were good to their trainees, but their preferences were different, Hong Shengcheng liked the men's group more, and Cui Zhenhao preferred the women's group. And Lin Ke put more energy on Hong Shengcheng before, and the actual operator of the production of T-ARA in the future is indeed this Cui Zhenhao. Lin Ke smiled helplessly, he didn't expect that he would be reborn in the third life, and when he went to an unfamiliar field, he would still inevitably be "educated".
Cui Zhenhao sensed Lin Ke's mood, looked up at Lin Ke, and saw Lin Ke's unchanging polite and honest smile. The two of them continued to listen to Cui Zhongshi's introduction without much communication.
In fact, Cui Zhongshi is here, there is not much to do, and there is no good opportunity for film and television drama production. Previously, in order to raid CCM to take down Hyomin and Han Eunjing, Choi Jung-seok and CCM's representative Kim Kwang-so carried out some resource exchanges. At that time, Lin Ke proposed the "SuperStarK" plan to Mnet TV through Choi Zhongshi, and when Lin Ke forcibly memorized this show in his "previous life", he always felt like the Korean version of "Super Girl". In fact, the technical content of production is not high, but the investment is huge. This should be one of the few programs where Lin Ke has written down the overall plan, according to Lin Ke's "previous life" experience, the "future" is not so reliable, and the real reliable ones are the people in front of him who can do things.
Of course, Lin Ke knows that this is a program that is bound to be successful, and the vigorous development of the Korean entertainment industry in the next few years will lead to the risk of burning money on this kind of show is not as big as it seems. So this is the only project that was being done here before the company was founded.
Soon, what CUBE is currently doing will be simply presented in front of everyone. In addition to coordinating the overall situation and improving the company's system, CEO Hong Seung-sung is mainly responsible for the debut of 2AM. Managing Director Choi is responsible for the cooperation between SuperStarK and Mnet, as well as the next film and television drama projects. And Director Cui Zhenhao, who was supposed to be in charge of artist management, has no artists in the company, so the main focus is currently on the preparation of the company's new girl group. Lee Do-hoon is responsible for the coordination and allocation of resources between them.
After briefly sorting out the current work, Cui Zhongshi glanced at Lin Ke, who was "listening" to the audience on the side, and then said:
Perhaps, Representative Cui can tell us about the company's future strategic direction. ”
