Chapter 775: No Effect
June 11, 2009, this day is really not a good day for the entertainment industry, because on this day, the World Health Organization set the alert level of A (H1N1) swine flu virus at level 6, in other words, this zoonotic influenza virus that began in Mexico in March has developed into a global epidemic virus. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In this context, many activities in the entertainment industry have to be restricted, for example, concerts or live events with concentrated personnel, the organizers will be worried that if someone is infected with the flu after a large-scale event is held, then the organizer will naturally face the accusation of public opinion led by the media.
Although this kind of event will not stop, when it comes to artists, the pressure is even greater - if the flu spreads after holding an event, it almost means that the artist will never be able to come out again, especially in showbiz such as Japan and South Korea.
But fans are not afraid of the virus, so many of the concerts scheduled for the concert have not been stopped, even if the Chinese side has begun to take strict precautions, and the South Korean side is still the same, and there are also strong invitations to tourists from surrounding countries to visit South Korea, such as Jeju Island, which has held more tourism activities - in fact, during this time, many Korean experts have been preaching one thing, which is that eating kimchi can help prevent the flu.
Phoebe had already received a message from the U.S. Embassy and the U.S. military stationed in South Korea, warning her to reduce contact with South Koreans, and even the U.S. military in South Korea wanted her to leave South Korea, but Phoebe never took it seriously. And she got news from Lee Yoon-hin that South Korea can't afford the economic decline caused by the prevention of H1N1 now, so during this time, artists must frequently come out to do activities in order to keep the public from thinking too much, to be precise, to call on the public, not to consider the lethality and high transmission rate of H1N1, and not want to hide from it...... Well, this president, and cabinet members, are not generous people.
Of course, in Phoebe's view, this virus is really not a big deal, after all, even if there is no specific drug, but with the help of modern medical supportive therapy, the mortality rate will not be too high, and Phoebe uses another identity perspective to consider the impact of this virus on human beings, Phoebe thinks that this virus is quite beneficial to the entire human society, on the one hand, the emergence of new viruses is bound to make the emerging biomedical industry and the traditional chemical and pharmaceutical industry flourish, from research to manufacturing can give birth to a lot of related new industrial chains, so from a macro point of viewThis virus is indeed a good thing for a country with scientific research strength and scientific and technological background - don't blame Phoebe for not considering small and weak countries, after all, few people donate their entire family property to others, and Phoebe has never been such a saint.
But if you look at it as a member of Girls' Generation, this evaluation level of the World Health Organization is still quite unfavorable to the development of Girls' Generation.
After all, after the singing period of "GENIE" has passed, Girls' Generation will have to choose other resources in order to give up resources for the new group, and Phoebe's plan is to officially start the Japanese plan, and even the group that cooperates with the West Japan Group in Osaka and the AKB48 system has also begun to officially recruit and train. But no one knows whether Japan will become a pandemic because it does not pay attention to the control of H1N1 like South Korea now, and if this really happens, then Phoebe will not talk about the Japanese plan of Girls' Generation, and I am afraid that the cooperation plan with some groups in West Japan will be affected.
After all, when faced with a deadly epidemic virus, people are as ignorant as they were a thousand years ago, and they can't help but amplify their fear of the flu.
And the Girls' Generation everyone is still immersed in the happiness of two things at this time, well, to be exact, it should be three things.
The first thing, naturally, was at the dream concert, they were not boycotted, although everyone had already cried once before because of Activision Blizzard's invitation, but standing on the stage of the platter concert, they still couldn't help but have red eyes, and at that time, the audience seemed to have become their fans and were cheering for them, and this made Phoebe firm in an idea: the people can only be the people forever.
The second thing is that "GENIE" has achieved better results than "GEE", but in Phoebe's opinion, the results are actually very deceptive - if she wants to use the resources she can directly control, she can easily help all of Girls' Generation's works get good results - in the early days of "intothenewworld", she urged the Pentagon to buy Girls' Generation's works, which made Sunny very unhappy, and even bundled "Girls' Generation" with a bracelet watch The matter was also stopped, so after that, Phoebe never did a promotional action for the new work again.
So, last year's and this year's results are actually up to Sunny's satisfaction, because in SUnny's opinion, this is the real hard work - yes, Sunny is actually very conflicted about getting help from Phoebe, but this will be discussed later.
The third thing, of course, is that they have officially signed a contract with Activision Blizzard, Activision Blizzard will apply their image to the Northrend continent of WLK, and they need to shoot a series of commercials in exchange - in fact, the company is the same as before, for the sake of the company's other artists, still want to sign a bundle contract, but it seems that Barbara is very prepared in this regard, so the person sent by Activision Blizzard said simply:" The contract was actually signed with Universal Music, and we were able to give up the use of Girls' Generation image in Korea. As a result, the company could only watch the members of Girls' Generation happily sign exchange contracts.
However, in addition to being happy about these three things, there is another thing in the third thing, which makes them feel very crying and laughing - as I said before, the artists before the girlhood of the company are all international performing arts contracts signed with Japanese brokerage companies, or international performing arts cooperation contracts, in order to obtain foreign performing arts resources, the company can't support its artists to get better contracts, and the main foreign brokerage companies have identified Ai Hui Music, which has mastered a considerable part of the company's shares.
However, as Phoebe used her keen analytical ability in the international capital market to get a huge amount of money in the oil futures market through financial leverage, Ai Hui Music was hit hard, so that they had to give up the shares of the company in their hands to obtain continued funds, making it inevitable for Girls' Generation to sign an international performing arts contract with Ai Hui Music.
In other words, after Phoebe took control of the shares of the Saman company, which originally belonged to Ai Hui, although it has not been made public, it has loosened the ties for Girls' Generation to sign an overseas acting contract, and then Girls' Generation has become the first person under the company to sign contracts with other foreign music companies.
Of course, after signing a contract with Universal Music in Girls' Generation, it actually shocked the entire company quite a lot, after all, Universal Music, with the help of the power of Vivendi and the previous relationship with Universal Business, can control resources far more than Ai Hui Music, so since last year, many artists who have been sambling, either feel that Girls' Generation is going to be shitty, or feel that Sa Man's company is unfair to others...... Especially Girls' Generation's trip to the United States after the lights out time last year made many people jealous, especially now, the American group variety of Girls' Generation is still popular in many countries, the reason is that the group variety is not filmed so well, even if the audience is not chasing stars, they also like to watch this show that is more like a reality show.
Therefore, during the Olympic Games after the Games, the company has always wanted to share the resources and opportunities that Girls' Generation obtained from "Universal Music" to other artists under it, although it has not been successful, but now the company will habitually, as long as it encounters better resources, it wants to help other artists in the company fight for it, even if it will make Girls' Generation members feel dissatisfied.
After all, last year, the company didn't give up on you~
Of course, from the perspective of the company, as well as the predecessors, it does make sense to do this, just like the tilt of resources in the first four months of this year, although some seniors have complaints, but no one can deny that the company has indeed done the resource tilt of Girls' Generation, and even in the last period of the resource tilt period, it has helped Girls' Generation obtain quite a lot of long-term high-quality performing arts resources.
Therefore, the request of the company to let Girls' Generation help other artists in the company this time, and even their predecessors, can be said to be quite reasonable: if there is no company to compete for resources for you, push you forward, and give you support at critical moments, you can have today?!
There is no way, in the financial world, in addition to money, super high-quality resources are also eye-catching, especially this time, in fact, there is no need to consider qualifications, identity, and ability, after all, the image in the game in World of Warcraft is actually all data, and where there is difficulty, at most, it is just a live-action advertisement that needs to be filmed later.
So, the company's request this time is really tough, but in the eyes of the members of Girls' Generation, it hurts, after all, it's not something they can control, it's Barbara who is far away on the other side of the world, and you have the ability, you go and tell Barbara, what's the use of telling us?!
But the company seems to not know this truth, and stares at Girls' Generation every day, persuading them to bring their seniors...... As a result, what Phoebe has been looking forward to, the sisters' loyalty to the company has declined very much, even if everyone has signed a new dividend contract with the company a few days ago.
Of course, Phoebe can actually see that the company seems to be persecuting the sisters, but in fact, it is completely for the seniors to see, after all, as I said before, the seniors have become more and more dissatisfied with the company's "unfairness", and even the fans with the seniors feel that the company is too partial to Girls' Generation. And Phoebe now needs her seniors to turn their faces with the company as soon as possible, so that she, who has not signed a new contract, can get a very good reality to fix the contract with the company, on the other hand, naturally, as I said just now, she needs her sisters to reduce their loyalty to the company.
Therefore, although the sisters will be depressed because of the company's "domineering", Phoebe has been hiding next to her and silent, as if she is not very happy, and she has not said anything to comfort her sisters. And as I said at the beginning, in the past few days, there are actually three good things that make my sisters happy as a whole, so in Phoebe's opinion, the mentality of Girls' Generation at this time is no problem at all.
Of course, during the period of waiting for the conflict between her predecessors and the company to expand, Phoebe also had some troubles, that is, Zhu Ying began to come to her frequently for the new group he was about to lead, after all, everyone knows that the relationship between Barbara and Phoebe is not ordinarily good, and Joo Young now also wants a new group, which can get quite high media attention by signing a contract with Universal Music like Girls' Generation back then, and Phoebe feels that the most troublesome thing is not Zheng Xiujing, who she has already remembered, but the trainee from China who seems to be soft and will not compete with others at all, but is actually hard to the bone, and has the same surname as Phoebe Songใ
And when dealing with this kind of person who hides needles in the cotton, Phoebe really has no good tricks, and even the tried and tested practice of "letting Sister Sun go up" has no effect at all......
