Chapter 41 Proposals
Cui Zhongshi's question is not a sudden attack for an "old gun" in the entertainment industry like Hong Shengcheng. So Hong Shengcheng quickly talked about www.biquge.info how to make high-quality music and influential artists, and then improve the direction of competitiveness.
After speaking, he didn't say anything more, but asked Cui Zhongshi what he thought. Choi Jung-seok threw the question at Lee Do-hoon. After making a brief eye contact with several people present, Lee Do-hoon said:
"The situation of the entertainment industry will get better and better in the future, there should be no doubt about this today, including SJ, SK and other large consortia have rearranged in entertainment, although it is because of the financial crisis that has impacted the real economy, but the resources invested are enough to show the future potential of the cultural industry. Of course, this is not only seen by many large conglomerates, so countless economic companies are now registered every day. ”
Hong Seung-sung and Choi Jin-ho glanced at each other, and then motioned for Lee Do-hoon to continue.
"Taking idol singers as an example, men's and women's groups are now booming, even if they were not favored before. Not only WG and Girls' Generation have achieved a lot, but Jewelry has continued to come out during this time. The results are also good. It's an indisputable fact that this market has become bigger. Exploring the internal causes and looking for patterns can predict when this wave of 'entertainment boom' will end. This is what the Data Services Department has been doing. ”
"However, we all know that the Republic of Korea has such a large population base. Sooner or later, this growth will stagnate, regardless of whether it is three years or five years. At that time, we will have to compete face-to-face with everyone, including the current hegemons such as SM, JYP, YG, new companies supported by large conglomerates, and many small companies that are everywhere. We can make high-quality products, and we can also grab a good position in advance, but the resources we can call on are smaller and smaller compared to these resources that are blindly smashed in every day. Therefore, D.K. believes that in addition to doing a good job in front of us, we should have a long-term goal in terms of strategy, and even a more tragic one, a direction to break through. ”
"We're not afraid to compete with people. Hong Shengcheng interjected when Lee Do-hoon paused in his speech, but still waved his hand to signal Lee Do-hoon to continue.
Lee Do-hoon stood up and walked to a blackboard in Hong Seung-sung's office and wrote and drew on it.
"Regardless of whether the Korean market is saturated or not, going abroad is the general trend. The entertainment industry in the Republic of Korea is going outward, and there are currently only four directions, Japan, the United States, China, and Southeast Asia. Lee Do-hoon said as he wrote and drew on it. Then he pointed to the regiment and said:
"Japan, the record market is 20 times that of South Korea, and the previous development is relatively mature, as long as you have the ability, you will never give up. SM opened up the Japanese market, and it is easy to develop in Japan, but it is difficult to achieve greater results. Because then not only face SM, but also face Ai Hui Group. ”
"The influence of Southeast Asia is also very important, but the fragmented market is too complicated to do, and it is basically half the effort. ”
"And then there are only these two, the United States and China. If we just want to survive and have markets in Japan and Southeast Asia, we can do it. But if you want to compete with these big companies, you must open up the situation in one of these two. When Li Daoxun said this, he didn't speak again, but walked back.
Several people on the field paid attention to Hong Shengcheng, and Hong Shengcheng stared at Lin Ke for a few seconds.
The content of what Li Daoxun said, several people present knew that it was from Lin Ke's instructions. There is nothing new, but the situation facing the future is put in front of everyone in advance.
Several of you here are naturally ambitious, but in fact, all the content above is that the direction of future expansion is limited to the United States or China. Lin Ke naturally has a choice, but the specific operation still has to be done by Hong Shengcheng. Therefore, he has to determine Hong Shengcheng's attitude today, and then determine how to go next.
"The Japanese market must not be given up, and it must maintain a certain strength. This is also a disagreement between me and President Park Jin-young. JYP branches in China and the United States were both established by me. The U.S. market looks good, but the Japanese have tried for so many years to make Americans fully accept the Asian face. If the opportunity comes, it is natural not to give up. If it is the direction of development, it will lose the sanity that managers should have. ”
Hong Shengcheng thought about it while organizing the language and said:
"But the Chinese market is also difficult to enter. SM and JYP have been working on this for the past two years, and have also recruited some Chinese trainees. We still don't have any advantage over them. China and Japan, these two directions, we must prepare well now, but where to invest more resources still depends on the future development. ”
Lin Ke nodded, he can't build a good road in the future, and it is indeed difficult to develop in China. Hong Shengcheng can have such an attitude today, which has made Lin Ke feel very satisfied. After talking about the details of some specific facts. Several people also left Hong Shengcheng's office. When Lin Ke walked out and closed the door, he saw Hong Shengcheng staring at his back, smiled at him, and then turned to leave.
Lin Ke went downstairs to the practice room, and saw that Cui Zhenhao was also there, looking at the direction of the practice room in a daze. Lin Ke walked to his side and listened to the laughter of a little dinosaur and the sound of another girl chasing her with a smile from the practice room on the right, which sounded like it should be Quan Baolan. Then it was Xian Eunjing who stopped the two from messing around. Soon after the break, the sound of beating the body and feet rhythmically on the ground as in the practice room on the left was heard on the right side, just like the practice room on the left.
Lin Ke smiled and looked at Cui Zhenhao, who was a little relieved. asked, "Perhaps, Director Cui has time to have a cup of coffee together." Cui Zhenhao glanced at Lin Ke and nodded.
"Director Cui is quite satisfied with the members of T-ARA?" Lin Ke asked with a smile on his face.
"Their quality is not bad, Ju Li's singing and dancing foundation is slightly worse than others, and her acting skills are very good. However, this will make them lose motivation if they do not eliminate the reserve combination of the players. If you only have a practice period of about one year, you may not be able to get the desired results. The team is a group, and as long as there is a shortcoming, it will put the whole group in trouble when it debuts. ”
Lin Ke smiled slightly, things evolved into what they are today, which he didn't expect. What Cui Zhenhao said is very reasonable, but whether it is postponing his debut to make way for the trainees brought by Cui Zhenhao, or allowing Cui Zhenhao to let go and change people, it is difficult for Lin Ke to accept emotionally.
"So I hope that the trainees on both sides will maintain a healthy competitive relationship. This requires us to grasp the steering wheel together so as not to lose control. Lin Ke looked at Cui Zhenhao with a sincere face and proposed.
