Chapter 387: The Problem
On Friday morning, the company and Girls' Generation were caught off guard by a news from the United States.
The news that the Korean media doesn't know for the time being is: Kenny? Ortega, the director and producer of Youth 3, invited Hyoyeon to participate in the Disney sitcom "Hannah?" that swept teenagers across the United States. The latest season of "Montat" is going to come to South Korea in person.
In fact, the first to receive this news was the California branch of the company, because they had been shocked once before because the company was able to get Xiaoyuan into "Song and Dance Youth 3", so this news was not as impactful as the previous one for them, but it still made the people in the California branch cheer up - I am full of the company's company, it is really worthy of being the No. 1 brokerage company in Asia, the strength is so strong, and the tentacles are stretched so far!
The ecstatic California branch sent a fax and a phone call to inform the Korean head office despite the time difference, and waited for the next good news, if the Korean head office arranged for any of them to accompany Kenny Ortega, it would be great, so the competition that the head office could not see began......
To be honest, in foreign countries, Lee so-man can't cultivate his own people like he does in South Korea, but it's Kim Young-min's set that it's easy to quickly establish his own lineage in a new region.
However, Li Xiuman stayed in the United States for so long in order to avoid the political situation, and he was not spending time drinking, and some people in the California branch were recruited by him.
Martha and Lee so-man's recruits both did something similar, and after notifying the company through normal channels, both parties privately made private calls to Kim Young-min or Lee so-man.
And Kim Yingmin and Li Xiuman, who received the call, naturally did not blame the subordinates of the branch for ignoring the time difference, but all praised them energetically.
Next, Kim Young-min and Lee so-man were thinking, who did this?
That's right, as a decision-maker, you can't wait for people to come with joy at this time, but you should consider the ins and outs behind this matter, whether it's Kim Yingmin or Lee so-man, they all know that as long as it's in the entertainment industry, even if it's a particularly famous Oscar-winning actress, if you want to participate in a movie or TV series, you have to rely on relationships, this circle -dǐng-diǎn-小-said,.▽.o⊥s_(); The rules of the game are not for the chess pieces to decide how.
Especially in the mature entertainment industry, this is even more so, otherwise, how would a joint ban or an actor or actress not receive a good script?
Some people may say that joint blocking is the power of the public, and the actor and actress can't receive a good script because their salary is too high, well, everyone needs an explanation that can convince themselves, don't they?
In the foreign entertainment industry, there are actually two kinds of people who say that the market of the Chinese entertainment industry is not standardized and immature enough.
One is that they really feel that they have suffered a lot of losses because of copyright, so there will be some advertisements in which they participate in sky-high contracts.
The other is because their influence in this circle is not as good as in the foreign entertainment industry, so they must tell the foreign media: "That circle is not standardized enough!" ”
And the Korean entertainment industry is actually too small, and almost no one can look down on it, so this circle is "standardized", since it is "standardized", then it is obvious that many things cannot be just looked at the surface, otherwise they will definitely offend the people who really control the direction of things.
Kim Young-min and Lee so-man naturally thought of Phoebe first, but since reaching some kind of understanding with Phoebe, Phoebe has never made any surprise attacks on the company, and it is obvious that this matter was not done by Phoebe.
So, who and which force did it?
Kim Young-min and Lee so-man can't figure out why Kenny? Ortega will come to Korea in person for Hyoyeon. Does he know that Hyoyeon's Girls' Generation is being boycotted by more than 20 percent of teenagers across Korea?
This is a very strict question. Because if Kenny? Ortega doesn't know any of this, in case the company finds the media for his arrival, but after being asked these questions head-on, Kenny? Ortega and the forces that brought him to Korea have changed their minds, and what is left for the Saman company is an even worse situation.
Especially for Girls' Generation, the lights-out incident is nothing in South Korea, but if you are abroad, you have to plan carefully, and you can't make it a stumbling block for Girls' Generation to go abroad.
So in a certain way, this foreigner is a little out of time.
Don't blame Kim Young-min and Lee so-man for being so entangled, because there are many things in the entertainment industry, and at the same time they are related to media publicity, if you can't figure out Kenny? Ortega's intentions, and who contributed to his arrival, how should the company receive it? Do you want to notify the media to go to the airport to greet you?
On top of that, if you guess the forces behind it wrong, the incident becomes the biggest laughing stock of the company, and the leader bears a responsibility that the board of directors cannot forgive anyway - the news itself could have raised the company's stock price by at least three percent.
However, now they can't refuse openly, so Kim Young-min and Lee so-man have to continue to think: Is it Universal Music?
It's impossible, Universal Music will definitely not be so reckless and unreliable, and their chief assistant stationed next to Girls' Generation has just been in South Korea for almost a week, so they haven't talked about it at all.
After thinking about it for a long time, Kim Young-min and Lee so-man thought of a person almost at the same time, the mysterious, which has not appeared so far, and is rumored to be Lee Yoon-xin's, the shareholder who bought the part of the company's shares owned by Ai Hui Music, and he or she is the most suspicious.
However, there is a problem, neither of them has a direct way to contact the mysterious shareholder, only a lawyer who has carte blanche to the other party, but this lawyer has not shown this aspect when he conveyed his support to the two of them about the dream concert before.
Almost at the same time, Kim Young-min and Lee so-man, who had been thinking about countermeasures all night, looked out of the window at the same time in different places, the sky was already white, and there were about three hours before the company's work was about to begin, at that time, someone must be able to come up with a reliable decision!
The lack of information support is the biggest challenge for policymakers, and this is when Kim Young-min and Lee so-man have different styles.
Although Kim Young-min has been in the company for so long and has learned some rules in the entertainment industry, in essence, he is still an academic manager, he has received a complete modern business management education, plus he has long-term experience in leading the overseas affairs department, he knows that a large film and television company like Disney is really sensitive to ideas and ideas. And don't forget, Kenny Ortega is not only a director, but also a producer.
So Kim Young-min thinks that it is likely that Kenny knows about Girls' Generation's experience at the dream concert and thinks it is a very good story, and the real intention of the other party is likely to want to know the specific process of the matter, grasp the first-hand information, and then adapt the story framework and apply it in the new series.
In this way, Girls' Generation, as the prototype of the story, may be able to get a better opportunity in the European and American youth class, as long as the company pays attention to the direction of some remarks, which is a shortcut for Girls' Generation to enter the American market, and it can also reduce Phoebe's influence on Girls' Generation.
Of course, the premise of Yiqiē is based on the truth of his speculation, but without information, he can only hope that things will develop in this direction that is most in the company's interests.
And Li Xiuman's thoughts are different from Kim Youngmin's, and the old fox in the entertainment industry for many years will naturally not draw conclusions lightly. Because he had been dragging out the signing with Universal, he finally got Phoebe to transfer the authorization of the bracelet watch to a company affiliated with Universal Music in exchange for signing a contract with Girls' Generation, so at the beginning, the interest alliance reached by the production and manufacturing of the bracelet watch had long since fallen apart. However, Li Xiuman knew that in this matter he had made a lot of sacrifices in order to samulate the company's control over its portfolio, so although he may be a little unnatural when facing SNN, he has a clear conscience when facing the entire girlhood - didn't the previous mythical combination also get out of the company's control step by step?
Moreover, the ability shown by Phoebe, especially the energy she controls Titan mastery, makes Li Xiuman more and more uneasy, Phoebe mentioned the strategy of developing to Japan, Li Xiuman has actually studied it carefully, and after reading ab48's table in the first half of this year, Li Xiuman knows that Phoebe is right, the problem is, in this matter, the company can't give ab48 and as any benefits, so how to exchange for the other party's cooperation? It seems that the only thing that can really provide the other party with what they need is your Phoebe Titusto, so what's the difference between it and Girls' Generation being out of the company's control?
Therefore, Li Xiuman is still dragging on.
In Li Xiuman's memory, as long as Phoebe waits for a certain amount of time, she will definitely make a brazen move, and she doesn't care about the company at all, which is extremely difficult for Li Xiuman to accept, although Phoebe has reached a certain understanding with the company, and she will be notified in advance of anything, but this time it looks like Phoebe did it. But what makes Li Xiuman feel sad is that if he tells others like this now, no one will believe him, because Phoebe's performance in the past six months is too good.
Li Xiuman thinks that Kenny's arrival is likely to be related to Phoebe's plan for Girls' Generation to Japan, as for what the plan is, he can't say, but he really has this hunch, because, Kenny can be regarded as the director and producer of the Disney family, and the hottest amusement park in Japan seems to be Disney......
Li Xiuman didn't know what Fei Bi was going to do, but he would never want to see another traitor combination come out of the company that has grown into today's company.
However, he also knows that this is just his own biased speculation, but it is not too difficult to prove it, and the company actually has connections in Japan.
So, on Friday morning, Kim Young-min and Lee so-man immediately spread the news within the company at a regular meeting, Kim Young-min wanted to lift the spirit of Girls' Generation, and Lee so-man wanted to see the reaction of Phoebe and SNN, and he was still waiting for news from Japan......
