Chapter 536: Scruples
Needless to say, how many tears and laughter there were during the Beijing Olympics, seeing that September was approaching, the Korean entertainment industry breathed a sigh of relief, and then it was finally able to live a normal life, and many artists were gearing up, thinking about working hard in the last three months, and striving to get one or two awards at the end of the year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not just the artists who have such thoughts, but the various program production teams also have the same plan, and the ratings of all regular programs during the Olympics have seriously declined, which makes everyone's life very sad, and some programs have even stopped broadcasting altogether, so as not to have even more miserable ratings.
However, some people are troubled and some people are happy, even in the idol industry, after the release of WG's new song "Nobody", all the data are far ahead, plus the MV is very interesting, and the on-demand rate on the Internet is also very high, which makes WG, which has been busy since its debut, even busier.
Lee so-man and Kim Young-min had both heard samples of WG's new songs before, and it was for this reason that they made some plans to maintain the "undefeated" artists under the company - their group did not release new songs to compete, so they were not defeated.
So when Lee so-man and Kim Young-min heard the official version of the song "Nobody" and saw the MV, both of them secretly congratulated their previous decision, and at the same time, the two also felt a little sorry for each other.
Through the operation of Girls' Generation, Kim Yingmin understands that he is indeed not as sophisticated as Lee so-man in entertainment planning, and his strength is still in organization and management, and Lee so-man also realizes that he is inferior to Kim Yingmin in organization and management, and if the two can work together, they can also play the effect of one plus one is greater than two.
Although the two rarely talk in the company, as the leaders of the two factions who had fought openly and secretly before, they actually helped each other in many things, which made the company stunned at the same time, but the operation has become smoother, but on the other hand, the management and interference of its artists have become more efficient.
Although there was a matter of issuing free games in the support station of Knowles Light, but in general, it is just a new thing, in the traditional entertainment industry, Saman Company with many years of operation, coupled with Kim Yingmin's business strategy in line with international standards, has made Saman's position in the Korean entertainment industry more and more stable, and the brokerage company behind it can also compete with Saman Company before, but with the reconciliation of Kim Yingmin and Li Xiuman, Saman's ability to integrate resources in the circle far exceeds Tongji, Although the development of the girl group is not very smooth, the men's group, in addition to the music works, also needs to be purchased from outside, which can be said to fully occupy the vast majority of the channels for idol artists in the Korean entertainment industry to appear on TV.
In fact, it is said that it was kidnapped by the company, but it is better to be kidnapped by the community of interests formed by the advertisements and sponsors integrated by the company, which is the most proud place for Kim Yingmin, in his opinion, the company's previous practice of directly using whether the artist appeared on camera to blackmail the TV station is both crude and ineffective, but it is more effective to let the advertising and sponsors "persuade" the TV station.
Although Kim Young-min and Lee so-man have reached a consensus on some things, they can't think of going together on some things, such as the development direction of Girls' Generation.
Previously, Barbara got the English adaptation rights of several Girls' Generation songs in the name of Universal Music, at that time, because Girls' Generation was not in South Korea, Li Xiuman was also entangled in everything, and did not carefully consider the possible impact of the English version of the song, but after Girls' Generation returned to South Korea, Li Xiuman studied some reports submitted by the assistant team of Girls' Generation for a while, and suddenly reacted, Universal Music is prying people in disguise, which is very similar to what happened to a certain group of the company in Japan.
This is a serious provocation to the ruling order of the company, although there is nothing to say to Universal Music, but it can be suppressed by Girls' Generation to record the English version of the song, so as not to cause any changes.
Although Girls' Generation is not as popular as the group that went to Japan, and the members have no disagreement at all, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in an anthill, and everything has to be prevented.
But this matter is a good thing in Kim Youngmin's opinion, after all, the establishment of branches all over the world is not just to put artists internationally, and now Universal Music is so concerned about the things of Girls' Generation, and it doesn't take the lights out incident seriously at all, so Saman Company should also actively cooperate, after all, it will be more convenient for artists to return to South Korea to develop after gaining international fame.
The two wanted to press and the other wanted to push, but they were also deadlocked for a while, but Universal Music quietly got the English cappella version of the CD directly into the US military camp, which made both of them think that if Universal Music didn't have another purpose, why did it bother so much to push Girls' Generation?
At this time, Titan's business scope was all focused on military and large-scale projects, and its reputation in the business world was not obvious, and the only civilian product bracelet watch was also transferred to Universal Music, so neither of them knew that Titan was actually secretly promoting Girls' Generation, and combined with what happened in Japan, Saman Company could only conclude that Universal Music was prying the wall.
Of course, because Lee Yun-hin had intervened in the affairs of Girls' Generation before, and she also "became a shareholder of the company", this made the two feel that this was a cooperation between Samsung and Universal Music. I just don't know if Lee Yunxin, who has become a "shareholder", will make a bad start in the matter of Girls' Generation, so the two finally agreed to suppress the matter of Girls' Generation's recording of the full English version of "intothenewworld".
After all, the company has had a myth before, in case someone really wants to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and then make a similar mythical incident, then the blow to the overall management structure of the company is very big, especially the combination of several red up underground is not easy to manage, so both public and private can not let similar mythical events repeat again.
Therefore, when the game of Knowles Light came out, Lee so Man and Kim Young-min were extremely disappointed in the technical department, and they were deeply jealous, at least in their opinion, Knowles Light's game was unfair for Girls' Generation, but it was not surprising that there were some back-ups, which made Lee so Man and Kim Young-min feel a little waxy, very worried that Girls' Generation would have other ideas in the quiet period, and they were more worried about whether they would be affected by Lee Yoon-xin after Girls' Generation made a comeback next year. I also plan to leave the company as a whole after a few years in the company, just like a mythical combination.
But after a few attempts, I found that Girls' Generation is still quite loyal to the company, including Phoebe, who is incompatible with the company and even has film and television company resources outside of Korea.
When the game of Knowles' Light spread, Phoebe left a message on the company's online guest book: Although I didn't have a long-term trainee experience, the intensive special training in the first half of my debut also made me understand that many things experienced by the company's trainees were more difficult than in the game. However, the various training provided by the company is very professional, which shows that the company does keep its word, and if a trainee wants to make his debut, there is no other way than to work hard to enrich himself, and the selection system of the company is very fair to everyone......
Although many people privately believe that Phoebe's comments are not true, the vast majority of the company's trainees and debut artists still leave messages as guarantees, declaring that Phoebe is right—this is clearly the time to show loyalty.
Regardless of what happened in private, Phoebe's attitude obviously meant to draw a line with the light of Knowles, and it implied that she felt that it was good to stay in the company, and the meaning of maintaining the company's system was very obvious.
In fact, the company's top management naturally didn't think that Phoebe was the one who made the game, and they didn't think that Phoebe was the controller behind the scenes of Knowles' Light, so for Phoebe in Girls' Generation, Kim Young-min and Lee so-man also turned a blind eye, as long as they didn't touch the company's authority, it was easy to say.
And since entering the girlhood, Fei Bi Ming also respects the authority of the company very much, Li Xiuman knows that the power of Enceladus run by Fei Bi is not small, but Fei Bi has never worked against the company on the surface, and even when the company punished her at the beginning of the year, she also sincerely accepted the punishment and maintained the authority of the company, which made Li Xiuman also feel that some things can still be trusted by Fei Bi.
With such a cognitive premise, Li Xiuman believes that Universal Music deliberately found the sister of the family who once adopted Phoebe to serve as the chief foreign agent of Girls' Generation, just to win over Phoebe, or it may be to win over the entire Girls' Generation, but Girls' Generation is not famous at this time, and what is worth winning over makes Li Xiuman scratch his head very much.
Fortunately, Kim Doo-seok reported that Barbara had nothing else to do except promote the English songs recorded by Girls' Generation, which made Lee so-man and Kim Young-min a little relieved, although Universal Music's possible plan was to wait for the company to cultivate Girls' Generation before prying the wall, but who can say clearly in the future, as long as the company holds the music copyright, even if Girls' Generation does not have one heart with the company in the future, the company has a way to restrict them, Let them understand that the company can either give glory or take it back completely - the only thing to worry about is how much Universal Music intends to invest in Girls' Generation.
Fortunately, from the current point of view, Universal Music is only thinking about adapting the Korean version of the Girls' Generation song into the English version, and there is no intention of releasing it through official channels, although it is sent to the US military camp in Korea and Japan to play, but the most listened to in the US military camp is the song of popular foreign singers.
As for the Paralympic Games in September operated by Universal Music, Lee so-man and Kim Young-min both think that it is okay to participate or not, it just so happens that Girls' Generation is not much now, and it is not bad to accumulate fame through charity projects, after all, when Girls' Generation debuted, it was not very surprising that they became foreign volunteers for the Paralympics because of the fact that sign language was related to charity projects.
It's just that Titan's Korean branch, in addition to recording the American group of Girls' Generation, also plans to invite Taeyeon and Phoebe to make a movie, this news really makes Lee so-man and Kim Young-min scratch their heads, you know, in addition to idol artists, there are also some actors under the company, with film and television resources, Phoebe didn't think about leaving a few more positions in the company, which is really a little annoying, but now there is no excuse to stop this, after all, the news that came out over there is, The movie was filmed for Girls' Generation to enter the Chinese market, and except for Phoebe and Taeyeon, the other actors were all selected from the Chinese military art system, so Saman didn't dare to make a move on this matter despite the many ideas, after all, it was Chinese......
