Chapter 599: Surrender of power

What has happened in the past few days is a little strange, Kim Yingmin goes to Li Xiuman to discuss things at every turn, and Li Xiuman's office is often closed for a long time as soon as the door is closed, and no one knows what they are doing, and Li Xiuman also goes to Jin Yingmin's office from time to time, so that the company's employees who are used to their competition with each other are really a little incomprehensible.

On this day, after Kim Young-min got the ratings report of a program from the Statistics Department, he went to Lee so-man again.

"This is the ratings of yesterday's trip to the United States and some viewers' feedback, and the ratings have broken ten for four consecutive times." After Kim Young-min closed the door, he handed the document to Li Xiuman, and continued: "I didn't expect her to lead so well." ”

Li Xiuman frowned and took the document, and after a few hurried glances, he shook his head and said, "Careless, no one expected her to have this level." ”

Jin Yingmin sat down on the chair in front of Li Xiuman's desk, rubbed his forehead and said: "I have to think of a way, she didn't listen to the company much before, she participated in several company parties, and she didn't have anything to do with other people, at most she talked to a few of the preparatory members of the new girl group." Speaking of this, Kim Young-min shook his head and said, "RB people also attach great importance to her, and it is said that her report will be overcrowded every time." ”

Li Xiuman, like Jin Yingmin, had a sad face, nodded and said, "Well, Ai Hui even wants to re-invest because of this incident." ”

Jin Yingmin nodded and said: "Well, they did come, and even threatened us with the development of several regiments that went to RB, to be honest, I don't understand, no matter how popular that black water book is, Ai Hui shouldn't be so interested in her." ”

Li Xiuman shook his head and said: "I told Ai Hui that all the itineraries of Girls' Generation were signed to Universal Music, but depending on what they mean, they are still very interested in the company's shares." ”

Kim Young-min nodded again and said, "I'm afraid, there are still some things we don't know that Phoebe didn't tell us." Just like before the victory over children watching the Olympic activities. ”

The two frowned and thought for a while, and both sighed, Jin Yingmin shook his head and said, "It seems that as long as she doesn't say it, we won't be able to know." ”

Li Xiuman shook his head and said, "It's just that we were too careless when we signed a contract with Universal Music." ”

"If you sign a contract with the Americans in the future, let's hire a few more lawyers to review the contract, the company's legal ......" Kim Yingmin didn't finish, just shook his head.

Li Xiuman sighed: "This matter cannot be passed by the board of directors, unless we tell the board of directors that because of the contract, there is no room for the company to interfere in Girls' Generation's trip outside of South Korea." At that time, whether it is you or me, the situation will not be too good...... On top of that, I'm afraid there will be turmoil because of this, which is not a good thing for the whole company. ”

So Jin Yingmin also sighed and said: "This can only be done, to be honest, I should be responsible for this matter." ”

Li Xiuman shook his head and said: "If you really want to be responsible, continue to do your job, only you can do a good job in the operation and management of the company, to be honest, no one can do it except you." ”

Kim Young-min smiled bitterly and said, "I know......"

Li Xiuman continued to shake his head and said: "I said it, don't think I'm using this matter to threaten you, if it's me, I'm afraid it's not as good as you, so for the sake of the company, forget about those things." ”

Kim Young-min smiled wryly again, but nodded.

Li Xiuman changed the topic again: "Girls' Generation American Group Variety has such good ratings on the first TV station, are you also interested in the three major broadcasts?" ”

Kim Young-min nodded and said, "That's right, they all have contact, and the most positive of them is KBS, and it seems that Yuna's TV series has also added a lot of points to this." I also think it's good to hand it over to KBS, after all, it has the largest coverage and the best signal quality. ”

Li Xiuman nodded and said, "Well, what about the time period?" ”

"It premieres after 9 p.m. and reruns at 3 p.m. the next day, one at a time."

Li Xiuman said regretfully: "It's a pity that because of the contract, we can't get the copyright, so we can only suggest Titan TV Production Company, and the key depends on how much KBS pays." After all, when it comes to playing on cable stations, the production company doesn't get much. ”

Kim Young-min nodded silently, and after a while, he said: "If you look at the analysis of the audience's comments, it is expected that thirty percent of them will become fans of Girls' Generation, of course, some of them are originally their fans, but obviously this trend is very good." ”

What they don't know is that Titan has also sold American tours to Southeast Asia and South America, as well as Australia, and even an RB television station is ready to buy and broadcast it. In the branch of the company in Southeast Asia, when they saw the new group of Girls' Generation, they found that the head office did not greet them, so they thought that the head office had sent someone else to do it. Since there is often an unspoken rule of meddlers in Korean companies, none of the branches reported the matter to the head office.

When Lee so-man heard Kim Young-min say this, he finally had a smile on his face and said, "Anyway, the situation of Girls' Generation has changed for the better, and according to the schedule, it will be much easier to cultivate their popularity in early January next year." ”

Jin Yingmin also smiled and nodded, "That's right." ”

Li Xiuman said again: "By the way, the physical assistant sent to China reported that before she went, Girlhood seemed to be deliberately controlling her weight, and she ate very little, probably because she had a premonition that she was going to return." Obviously, after what happened in June, they are much more sensible. ”

Kim Young-min remembered some information she got after the BJ Paralympics, saying that Phoebe was very strict with her girlhood's diet, and although the members couldn't complain and shouted hunger every day during that time, it also let a group of trainees see how strict the artists were after their debut. But as far as Kim Young-min knows, if no one is watching, Girls' Generation will definitely eat unscrupulously, after all, it is in China, even if there is less to eat, but there are too many types, and you can gain weight if you don't pay attention to it.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, Kim Young-min and Lee so-man both know that Phoebe is still quite effective in helping to manage Girls' Generation.

But Phoebe's role is not only that, like the American group variety that the two of them started at the beginning, which made many people fall through the glasses, but I didn't expect a girl group member who didn't have any directorial experience to shoot a group of people who were not just a group of people making noise, but it was very themed to introduce everyone in this group to the audience - what surprised many people was that Phoebe seemed to have forgotten herself and didn't give herself many topics, which is exactly the same as her habit of often helping members grab shots when she participated in the show before, Most of the stolen footage will be passed on to companions, rather than for yourself.

Therefore, although there are many people in the company who have opinions about Phoebe, seeing that she takes such good care of the members, and during the Paralympics, Phoebe is also relatively good to the juniors, so many people feel that Phoebe will be influenced by the company one day sooner or later, and she is very friendly to everyone.

If Phoebe hears everyone's voice, she will ignore it, and at most she will say: "Dreaming!" ”

At this time, Jin Yingmin asked again: "Have you thought about the matter discussed before?" ”

Li Xiuman frowned and shook his head and said: "This matter is too difficult to do, with my understanding of Phoebe, I really can't force her to do anything, even if she agreed to take into account the position of other people in Girls' Generation, she will definitely take revenge on the company when she turns back." ”

Kim Young-min nodded, and both of them fell silent.

For a long time, Li Xiuman sighed and shook his head: "To be honest, I really didn't expect that Phoebe was hiding so deeply. On the one hand, she does many things that others can't do, so that the company can't do without her, and on the other hand, she is not very respectful to the company. ”

Jin Yingmin nodded understandingly: "If it wasn't for some reason at the time, maybe it would have been me who signed her, after all, her conditions are too good." ”

Li Xiuman knew what some of the reasons for what Kim Yingmin said, wasn't it that Kim Yingmin heard that Phoebe was coming with Sunny, so he was considered a person from Lee so-man's side, so he stopped preparing to meet Phoebe? And now, the rivalry and hostility between the two have been reconciled because of the fact that some of the directors on the board of directors of the partnership pit who were too deeply involved in politics in June, and after the reconciliation, the two also saw their respective strengths and weaknesses, so the cooperation was very pleasant, and even the people in the company were very surprised.

But it is precisely because of the cooperation that the two of them have seen many crises hidden within the company, especially the artist's attitude towards the company is becoming more and more difficult to control, except for Girls' Generation Phoebe, other groups have long had such a thing, but the two were busy fighting before and didn't put much energy into it at all.

Of course, in addition to these things, one of the recent priorities is to make a comeback for Girls' Generation, after all, the forces behind Girls' Generation are not small to unite, and the company has also gained a lot of benefits because of these forces behind it, if they can't let Girls' Generation develop again, I'm afraid their families will really have to find a way back for Girls' Generation, and this is naturally the last thing the company wants to see.

And after the Paralympics, the situation faced by Girls' Generation has been much better, coupled with the new group with very good ratings, so that there are also voices in society reflecting on the lights out incident, and the two know that if they don't actively operate to relaunch Girls' Generation, not only Girls' Generation's family will not agree, but their fans and sympathists will not agree.

Fortunately, a plan was made to make Girls' Generation reappear in January next year, and now everyone is constantly filling and enriching this plan, so that Girls' Generation can appear on the stage in time.

However, now there is a problem.

Phoebe said hello to the company before, saying that she would participate in the Qatar Rally with Lee Yoon-hin at the beginning of the new year, and the company didn't take it too seriously at that time, and thought that this would maintain the exposure of Girls' Generation, but I didn't expect it to overlap with the comeback plan now.

The two carefully considered Phoebe's personality and found that they could only force Phoebe to participate in the rally as an agency - yes, from the company's point of view, Phoebe's participation in the rally should be better than her playing songs with the members.

But this has another problem, Phoebe is actually a thorn, what if she loses her temper and doesn't cooperate with the company?

The most obvious example is the movie that Phoebe is shooting, Phoebe actually did not reserve any spots for the company's senior artists, but went to China to invite a large number of Chinese actors, if she still remembered to bring Taeyeon to shoot with her, the company would even suspect that Phoebe wanted to leave Girls' Generation.

Especially in the matter of making movies, there are actually many actors in the company who can speak Chinese, how can you Phoebe be so desperate and not give any resources to the company? It was spread all over the company, saying that Girlhood's Phoebe was not close to the company from the beginning, and she didn't talk to her seniors and juniors when she attended company parties, and she just waited in the corner for her sisters to leave when she had enough fun, which was too unsociable. If it weren't for the fact that Phoebe was very kind to the preparation of the company's new girl group who lived in a villa with her during the Paralympics, the company would not know how to appease everyone.

And there are promotional activities before the release of the movie, so Phoebe and Taeyeon can't be busy combining activities and promoting the movie at the same time, right? What does this make those in the company who have given up their individual activities for the sake of group activities? How else do you bring the team?

As for Phoebe going to participate in the Qatar Rally, isn't it also impossible to participate in the singing trip? This is not a big problem, after all, the company heard that Phoebe was going to participate with Li Yunxin as early as April, so it revealed this matter, and when Girls' Generation was silent in the past few months, it would take out this matter from time to time to stir it up, in order to maintain the popularity of Girls' Generation. Moreover, if you go to a rally, it will make Girls' Generation, who is playing songs, more topical, which is much more meaningful to the group than promoting the movie.

The most important thing is that although the Samsung Li family was cleaned up by the new president, Li Yunxin is still an existence that cannot be provoked.

But the crux of the problem is not only that, from the company's point of view, even if Phoebe's participation is very beneficial to the group, the company cannot explicitly ask Phoebe not to participate in the singing trip. If Phoebe were to compete, the company's attitude would have been to sanction her - for example, by excluding Phoebe from the new song and freezing it for a season.

However, participating in world-class competitions is of special significance to Koreans, even if Phoebe can't win the award, as long as she can hold on for a while, I'm afraid she will be popular among the Korean people, and what position does the company have to sanction her at that time? On the contrary, the company should respect her.

But the reaction of the people is difficult to predict, after all, Phoebe's nationality is American, and Lee Yunxin is Korean.

To be honest, the variables of this matter are too great, so that the two leaders of the company scratch their heads every day and can't think of a reasonable way, and if they ask Phoebe not to participate, on the one hand, they will lose their trust in the people who have known about this matter for a long time, and on the other hand, I am afraid that they will also face the anger of the little princess of Samsung, so if they are not careful, the company may suffer because of their wrong decisions. The most important thing is that no one knows what Phoebe is planning to do.

After the two were silent for a long time, Li Xiuman shook his head and said: "The time is getting closer and closer, and we can't come up with any way, otherwise, let Phoebe make her own decision as discussed before." ”

Kim Young-min was tempted to say "no", after all, it meant that the company had delegated decision-making power to artists, which was simply intolerable. But reason told him that now I am afraid that this is the only way, after all, Universal Music has already given the company a set of contracts so that the company cannot restrict Girls' Generation's overseas itinerary. And this matter must not be exposed......

So, Kim Young-min sighed helplessly, nodded and said, "Then let's do it, I'll go and contact Barbara and ask her to tell Phoebe that the new song and choreography are ready......"

Li Xiuman nodded slowly and said, "Well, by the way, I also told Barbara that the company respects Universal Music's rights to Girls' Generation, but I also hope that Universal Music will not take into account our influence in Korea and not go too far." ”

Hearing Li Xiuman say this, Kim Young-min looked at him for a while, and then said with a wry smile: "Okay, I know." ”

And Li Xiuman also nodded with an apologetic smile on his face......
