Chapter 341: Fooling
At the shooting site of the cover of Girls' Generation's new album, Ju Young received a call from the company, and after just a few words, he was surprised: "Phoebe went to Germany? ”
After saying this, Zhu Ying looked around with his hand on the phone as if he had woken up to something, and saw that none of the members present in Girls' Generation looked at him, so he lowered his head and turned around and said while walking out: "No, she didn't say it before this, and SNN didn't mention it, and I didn't have any news." ”
While speaking, Zhu Ying came to the door, and saw that there were still a lot of people coming in and out of the surroundings, so he began to walk towards the secluded place again, and said as he walked: "No, since Barbara served as her personal assistant, many things have not been done through Guò Korea, and the company's previous instructions to me also said that because Barbara was sent by Universal, according to the contract, Phoebe's affairs can be handed over to her to ensure the continuity of the trip." ”
After saying this, Zhu Ying listened to the instructions on the phone and said "um" a few times, and finally said, "Okay, understood, I'll do my best to confirm with SNN." ”
After ending the call, Zhu Ying sighed, pinched his waist and frowned and thought for a while, he can't control Phoebe at all now, this is because after signing an overseas economic agency contract with Universal, the decision on the itinerary of Girls' Generation members abroad most of the time is not in the hands of the company, this is the price that all Korean agencies must pay when promoting artists to overseas markets, otherwise why should people promote your artists? South Korea is not an influential country, its own political and economic form is extremely dependent on other countries, and even basic food security needs external supplies like Japan, so to speak, if it is not a very gimmicky artist, any foreign agency will not be willing to look far away, staring at the language barrier, which Koreans cannot overcome on their own to promote their artists.
And artists who don't have enough gimmicks can only accept the offer of a foreign agency, which is the risk that Korean artists need to face when they go abroad, and the entire Korean entertainment industry knows this situation, so once that artist succeeds abroad, everyone will sincerely bless him - of course, there is also the intention of thinking about climbing the relationship and promoting oneself.
The entertainment industry is not an ivory tower, there are no princesses and princes, there is only cruel competition here that if you don't advance, you will retreat, only naked, naked, naked, naked, li≯▽diǎn≯▽small≯▽ said, .▽.o♂s_(); Benefit exchange, all artists who can't recognize this diǎn and feel good about themselves will either become a tool for the agency to quickly recover their costs after two or three years of popularity, or they will abandon themselves and involve things that should not be involved in their public capacity - of course, artists are actually no different from ordinary people, only a few people who can see clearly can grasp what should be grasped, just like Liu Zaishi, one of the so-called variety show mountains.
Without further ado, let's get down to business.
Zhu Ying really can't figure out what Phoebe is doing in Germany, isn't she studying?
According to Joo-young's information about Phoebe's itinerary, Phoebe would go to school during the day, and around eleven in the evening, she would go to a broadcast studio rented by BS International Radio in Boston to host BS International's Olympics-related programs.
Aside from these two daily schedules, Juo-young doesn't know anything other than knowing that Phoebe accompanied Hyoyeon to a Disney audition.
As for the arrangement of returning to South Korea on weekends, it has long been fixed, and on Saturday and Sunday they are all participating in music programs, in addition to either arranging for Phoebe to go to the company's practice room to practice with the members, or the director of BS International Station will have a meeting with Phoebe.
Although foreign arrangement companies can't call the shots, because there are still many Koreans in Germany, when Phoebe appeared at Berlin Airport, the photo was on the website of a small Korean media.
Zhu Ying knows that the recent atmosphere in the company is actually very delicate, and I don't know why shareholders have come much more often than before, and Kim Youngmin, the managers who have the right to participate in the board of directors, have recently lax a lot in administrative management, which makes many people in the company have a premonition that something big is going to happen, and even some trainees are not stable, and some trainees even go directly to other companies.
The call Joo Young received just now was a call from the company's head in charge of girls' generation promotion, and he also felt a little strange about the current atmosphere of the company, so when he noticed that Phoebe went to Germany, he remembered that someone had mentioned that Lee Yoon-hin was picked up by Phoebe in Germany, which made him feel that the recent company affairs would be related to Phoebe.
After listening to the room chief's speculation, Zhu Ying could only agree to probe SNN, but Zhu Ying felt that it was appropriate to help Li Xiuman contact Li Yunxin and rashly interfere with Teacher Li Xiuman's affairs?
In fact, Joo Young blames him for thinking so, the preparation of the new album this time is too sloppy, not only the songs and dances are very confusing, but even today's cover shoot feels like a fool, and even some members of Girls' Generation have secretly asked him if the company has deliberately lowered the standards of the new album.
Zhu Ying thought that because he had always been more inclined to Mr. Lee so-man, Kim Young-min and his family were finally ready to do it to themselves, and the preparation of the new album this time was so unbearable, obviously preparing for the future accounting, although the lack of funds for the new album was not his responsibility, but the song and dance itself was the responsibility of Mr. Lee so-man, no matter how you look at it, I feel that there is a big conspiracy, but the strange thing is that no matter how Ju-young reminds him, Lee so-man is indifferent.
Teacher, what do you think?
This is what Zhu Ying has often sighed recently, and after listening to the phone just now, Zhu Ying felt that he understood something, that is, Teacher Li Xiuman was also powerless in this matter, and the person who took over Ai Hui's part of the shares last time was Li Yunxin, plus Phoebe suddenly went to Germany, which shows that Teacher Li Xiuman is ready to find a place in other aspects, so Zhu Ying feels that it is best not to make trouble for the teacher.
The asymmetry of information has caused the absurdity of the conclusion, and Zhu Ying feels that Li Xiuman does not let himself know that the deception on the board of directors is for his own good, after all, he is soft-spoken, and any shareholder will have a way to retaliate against him, let alone Kim Youngmin, another big mountain of the company?
In the end, Zhu Ying decided that if she wanted to trust Teacher Li Xiuman, she should not ask SNN what Fei Bi was doing.
However, it is also appropriate to ask, after all, he also has the right to know what Phoebe is doing, isn't he?
With a decision, Zhu Ying turned around and went back to the room, and after finding SNN, he called her aside and asked in a low voice: "The company found a report that said that Phoebe went to Germany, did she say what she was doing in the past?"
SNN was stunned for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "I didn't say it, when did you go?"
"You don't know either?" After Zhu Ying heard that SNN didn't know about it, she became more and more convinced of her previous guess, and sure enough, it was Teacher Li Xiuman who privately asked Fei Bi to do this!
SNN felt a little strange at Zhu Ying's tone, diǎn diǎn head, and asked, "I should know about this?"
Zhu Ying obviously misunderstood SNN's meaning again, and quickly explained with a smile: "I didn't mean that, I just thought that Phoebe would sue you." Now, SNN, there is a website news mentioning that Phoebe has arrived in Germany, and the company thinks she has any arrangements, so they want me to ask, I guess they may mean the same as the last Xiaoyuan audition, thinking that if there is good news, maybe some publicity can be arranged in advance. ”
snndiǎndiǎn head, to be honest, she really didn't know that Phoebe went to Germany, after listening to Zhu Ying's explanation, she thought that the standard of this new album was really a bit bad, maybe the company meant to ask Phoebe if she could make any more news about diǎn, which could help this new album?
In SNN's mind, there are really some aspects that Phoebe does not understand now, so she simply does not understand, but concentrates on the work at hand, and when Phoebe is done, Phoebe will naturally sue herself and help herself clear her mind by the way - this is how she and Phoebe have come over for so many years.
As for the release of the new album, SNN doesn't think Phoebe has much interest in it, after all, Phoebe has always known what she has been thinking, that is, to promote Girls' Generation, as for the new album, both SNN and Phoebe feel that it is a waste to use Titan's influence in this regard, and the sales of the bracelet watch have already helped promote the new album, and the company actually has the meaning of Longwangshu, which is really unreasonable.
SNN thinks that Phoebe is right, the company does value the economic benefits that Girls' Generation will bring, and as for promoting the real influence of Girls' Generation, the company is not really concerned. The concept here is actually not difficult to understand, the company wants to increase the sales of the album, to sell to advertisers to seek more advertising contracts, not to make money The company is not interested, even if some charity projects, the company also values the balance of fame; The filming of "Youth Musical" 3, as for Titan is actively expanding its influence, is also preparing for Girls' Generation to enter the international market.
Therefore, SNN didn't know what Phoebe was going to Germany for, but she knew that Phoebe would never do anything useless, so Snn thought about it and said: "I think we should not ask Phoebe about going to Germany, after all, Universal also has a market in Germany, and you also know that Phoebe's Titan headquarters is in Germany, maybe they have cooperation in other directions?"
Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the predecessor of Universal Music was not the German Polygram? Moreover, Titan's bracelet watch business had been transferred to Universal Music, perhaps he was really always thinking about the company's affairs, and he would think that everything in the world was related to the company's affairs.
SNN smiled again: "And even if Phoebe gives us another chance to create Zào, it will have to wait for specific results to be done, and now it has not been done, we will interfere with Phoebe's plan, in case the news is leaked and messed up, in the end, it will be our big loss, so Brother Zhu Ying, you should not know anything, and Phoebe will not hide it when you turn back." ”
Zhu Ying thought about it, whether Fei Bi went to Germany for Teacher Li Xiuman or to create a chance for Girls' Generation, this matter should indeed be kept secret, why did she care about it and ask it randomly?
Therefore, Zhu Ying smiled with relief and said: "Well, that's right, it's messy if I care, but you should also pay attention to the fact that Phoebe's photos in Germany are already on the domestic website, and it's hard to guarantee that no one will ask, so you will temporarily say that it is arranged by the company, and the rest will be kept secret." But...... Well, for now. ”
SNN saw Zhu Ying's hesitation, but he didn't say anything, Diǎn went to find someone else, and Zhu Ying noticed SNN's costume, and suddenly sighed slightly: If this is a song costume, it's too foolish......
