After informing Phoebe to perform on stage, Li Xiuman was ready to exchange opinions with Barbara.

As some people think, after Li Xiuman heard about how Phoebe dealt with the spit incident, he suddenly remembered that this girl is quite a toss-up one, and he, Kim Young-min and a few executives secretly arranged this concert,

The other artists aren't much, but it's hard to say how Phoebe will react.

In this platter concert, he and Kim Young-min's methods for their own group not only involved Girls' Generation, but other groups were also more or less designed. Let Phoebe follow her to the opening act, and everyone can see that it is a reward for Phoebe for dealing with the spitting incident.

Lee so-man approached Barbara to make sure that Phoebe would really sue the leaker - from the perspective of Lee so-man and Kim Young-min, they wanted to poke the spit incident out, because it was too suitable as a trigger for something.

However, when Li Xiuman and Barbara expressed that they didn't want Phoebe to really sue, Barbara suddenly frowned and said: "I'm sorry, Phoebe's image problem is not only your company's, Universal Company also has the right to speak, Phoebe's image outside South Korea, especially in the United States and Europe, has always been princess-type, once this matter is made public, it will definitely damage the image of the previous business, so this matter is not a lie." ”

Li Xiuman saw Barbara's statement like this, and immediately felt a little anxious, didn't he say that Americans know how to put interests first, why are they so inflexible?

The reason why he is anxious is very simple, Girls' Generation has already signed a contract with Universal, and compared to a Japanese agency, Universal's contract is very generous to Saman. The problem is that they also know that Universal Music actually has no shortage of artists, and with the current value and fame of Girls' Generation, it is not enough to attract the attention of a level agency like Universal Music, so there is no one else to promote the signing except Phoebe.

This shows that Barbara, Phoebe's nominal sister, can serve as Phoebe's assistant - Universal Music is not a small company, and Phoebe's Girls' Generation is not famous enough, and according to the company's query information, Barbara was not an employee of Universal Music at all, and now Universal has let Barbara dǐng their name activities, and also let her be in charge of the management of Phoebe and Girls' Generation, this is not Phoebe dǐng diǎn↘ ↘ behind her back ↘, .≧↘.⊙os_ (); What else can work.

When Lee so-man and Kim Young-min heard that Phoebe threatened the crowd of onlookers and said that Universal would also prosecute the leaker, several people who had prepared secret tactics to make the new president angry were surprised to find that they had ignored Phoebe in today's plan. If she knew that what would happen was their handiwork, it was difficult to say what the outcome would be, you must know that Phoebe and the company's position were somewhat contradictory before, although the two sides reached a settlement at the beginning of the year, but at that time the company knew that Phoebe had the advantage.

Li Xiuman asked Phoebe to come to the stage in order to support Phoebe, he and Kim Young-min had to temporarily hold on to explain the matter to Barbara first - no way, it involves Universal Music, and Saman Company can't ignore it, after all, in addition to Girls' Generation, they also want to arrange for other artists to go abroad to make money.

Li Xiuman was very big after hearing Barbara's answer, and regretted very much that he didn't take into account the outliers in the company at the beginning of the plan, knowing that other artists were allowed to be pinched and flattened.

Li Xiuman had to hesitate and said: "Well, Barbara, there may be some variables in some things, and I assure Universal Music on behalf of the Saman Company that there is actually no big problem, and the Saman Company is ...... Well, it's the No. 1 brokerage company in Asia, and things have always been within control. ”

Barbara looked at him with some surprise when she heard Lee so-man say "Asia's No. 1 brokerage company", she really didn't expect that at the level of Lee so-man, when she talked to her partners, she would brag like an ordinary Korean, but then she frowned and began to think about what Lee so-man meant when he said these words, Lee so-man obviously had something to say, and now was not the time to dwell on the arrogance of Koreans.

Li Xiuman naturally saw Barbara's surprise, he knew why this was happening, but he didn't mean to blush and be embarrassed, because he said this to disrupt Barbara's train of thought, not to mention, Saman's company has opened branches all over the world, if you don't count the total amount of funds, it can't be completely wrong to say that it is the first in Asia - when American companies calculate profits, they will also use the expected profit as a reference value, so that the profit amount of the tax return will be reduced a lot, and even there will be losses - the key is to look at the angle of the problem.

Barbara thought that Lee so-man was asking what Universal Music she represented on behalf of Saman in this matter, after all, this is South Korea, and if Universal Music really sues the leaker as Phoebe said, then Saman will have to make a statement, whether it is to take a position with Universal Music, or to take a non-cooperative stance in order to balance the attitude of others in the circle.

Thinking of this, Barbara looked at Li Xiuman and said solemnly: "Mr. Li, Universal Music has made a lot of efforts to improve Phoebe's personal image, so in order to maintain the results of our efforts, we do not hesitate to use some means. I might as well be honest with you, you should have guessed our purpose, the signing with Girls' Generation was actually facilitated by Phoebe, but Universal Music is mainly optimistic about Phoebe. And other people in Girls' Generation obviously do not have the talent to develop in the European and American entertainment circles. Let's not talk about the language problem, when your company cultivates artists, you have erased their creative power in the considerable process, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are assembly line products. I'm not belittling anyone, but I'm just saying that sometimes, Phoebe can take a bigger step. ”

Li Xiuman frowned diǎn diǎn diǎn head, Barbara said that he did know that he had not taken the initiative to promote the signing of a contract with Universal before, in fact, it was also in consideration of this diǎn, he thought that Universal should not be interested in signing a contract with Girls' Generation, which was not very famous, unless Universal Music really saw the spirituality and creative power that the artist possessed, otherwise they would only sign with an artist of Bao'er's level.

What Barbara said was actually the truth, although she was not an employee of Universal Music, but Langley's arrangement of her into Universal Music was easy and pleasant, and Universal Music also gave Barbara a lot of information and evaluation reports in order to make Barbara as familiar with the business as possible, so as not to make the company suffer losses in an unfamiliar situation, Barbara felt that the events of Girls' Generation delayed Phoebe's time, in addition to the development of Titan, the evaluation report from Universal Music also played a large part.

In fact, from the day it was founded, it was hostile to these old record companies - in the 80s of the 20th century, a Hong Kong art critic said: singers? I think they are more like a group of actors, they learn how to perform singing and dancing, rather than actually singing and dancing...... (Appeared in an issue of Hong Kong media magazine, the target is the Little Tigers, this information is provided by relatives and elders, and it can't be confirmed now, but my relative brother is not a cultural person.) The reason why I came up with this is to show that the professional branch of idol singers has been hostile to many veteran artists and companies in the industry from the very beginning, and the reason why Saman Company can be so strong today is that in the beginning, only Saman Company has always insisted on operating a "healthy combination" Unlike some companies in the same period who did everything for the sake of money, it was not until the market was pried open that all kinds of funds began to enter this field on a large scale, and the real reason why the industry respected the company was that it was a pioneer in this industry - at least a pioneer in South Korea. ）

Barbara's words made Li Xiuman reconfirm that Universal Music is actually not optimistic about the development direction of idol singers, judging from some of the programs he knows about Phoebe participating in the United States (he thought that they were all TV that Universal Music helped Phoebe on), Phoebe rarely mentions her singer career in talk shows, and talks more about what happened to her and how she worked hard to get in.

Girls' Generation does not have the confidence to go abroad to develop - the main reason is that the works are not good enough. Although the company tried it in Thailand in May, the album sales were not good, in fact, it can't be bad, because Thailand's entertainment market is too open, and singers all over the world like to run there to release films, and any singer sells albums, and the records of Korean artists will not be found on the charts immediately.

Although Li Xiuman was a little depressed because of Barbara's frank admit, he also knew that in fact, there were really few girls who could develop outside, Xiuying was one, but she could only go to Japan, Jessica and An are good at English, but Jessica's personality and style are really not suitable, and An is quite suitable for development in Europe and the United States, the problem is that after being put in Europe and the United States, an has diǎn is too ordinary- Li Xiuman is not a frog who sits in a well and watches the sky, he has broadened his horizons in Europe and the United States, if An is really talented, then when she arrived in South Korea at the age of fifteen, Li Xiuman directly arranged for her to debut, and she would not have trained for so long at all.

Li Xiuman also knows that if you really talk about talent, Phoebe is indeed better than others, the only problem is that Phoebe has no relationship with the company. She didn't even attend a company party, which made Li Xiu's head big, and the understanding agreement reached between Kim Young-min and Phoebe half a year ago made him really depressed. So Barbara said that Universal Music is optimistic about Phoebe, he is not surprised, but there is nothing uneasy, Tong Guò Xiaoyuan and the signing of the contract with Universal can be seen that Phoebe has a lot of feelings for Girls' Generation, and that is enough.

Therefore, Li Xiuman said to Barbara: "Well, I understand your company's thoughts, but the other people in Girls' Generation were also cultivated by the company, although they are in business, we are also responsible for their future, so we will try our best to balance the popularity of a group." Yes, I know Phoebe is not very popular, but according to what you said, Phoebe is so capable, if we do our best to cultivate her, then Girls' Generation will become a combination of her alone, which is not the result that Saman wants from the company. ”

Barbara diǎn diǎn head, she understood what Lee so-man meant, and Universal Company also analyzed the reason why Phoebe did not become the main promoter of Saman when she was in Korea.

Li Xiuman continued: "Although the agency wants to make money, after a team develops, the money it makes is more stable than that of an artist alone, and, well, I remember that many of your company's artists are actually alone, right? Can they attend events for a long time? Idol groups are different, and when they are developed, group members can dǐng the group's name to attend any event, which is a good way for the agency to get a more stable income, what do you think?"

Barbara diǎndiǎn head, what Li Xiuman said is very reasonable, but what she wondered in her heart was, what did Li Xiuman want to say to herself?

Li Xiuman also felt strange why he said the topic here, and after thinking about it for a while, he said again: "Well, about the incident that Phoebe just experienced, I think we can take advantage of it, we will control the trend of public opinion, and it will not cause damage to Phoebe's personal image, how about it, I hope that the world will not sue for this, of course, in order to maintain Phoebe's authority, I will personally find the people present at the time to explain the power, and sue them for the real reason why they did not prosecute, how?"

Barbara suddenly frowned and looked at Li Xiuman, and said in her heart that if this matter is not prosecuted, then the guys who wholeheartedly support Phoebe in Titan may not know what will happen, so she shook her head very simply and said: "Mr. Li, I don't know why you want to use this matter to hype, maybe Korean agencies have always been like this, but I can't agree, the most important thing is that you forget that Phoebe is also the owner of a large multinational company, and the face of her identity is much more important than the face of her identity as an artist." ”

Li Xiuman suddenly realized, he finally knew what he was wrong, it seems that there is no room for negotiation in this matter, even if the company really secretly revealed the news of Phoebe's bullying, Phoebe will not give up, Li Xiuman knows that Titan is operating in the United States, and there are three employee communities in Boston alone, and the largest community has more than 200 households.

Therefore, Li Xiuman sù sù diǎn diǎn head said: "Okay then, I promise that the company will not take advantage of this matter." ”

Barbara diǎn diǎn head, but immediately frowned and asked, "You plan to make Phoebe a foil for everyone else all the time?"

Li Xiuman looked at Barbara strangely and said, "How is it possible? Doesn't Phoebe have a personal itinerary? The company has no intention of restricting her, but the core person has not considered using her for the time being." If she develops abroad, even if you don't say it, we will let her play an important role, after all, she is the only one who has no language barrier, and no company will despise such an artist. ”

Barbara just diǎn diǎn head, but she still felt that Li Xiuman just now meant that he was going to restrict Phoebe for a long time, or rather, not to give a chance. Therefore, Barbara decided that she would ask Phoebe privately what was going on with the trip of BS International Radio, which was not like the opportunity that Saman Company helped her find, but more like Phoebe herself was too high, and the opportunity found her.

Li Xiuman looked at Barbara, who was no less beautiful than a Hollywood movie star and had blue eyes, and suddenly felt that it was a great food for him to ask Barbara directly. The beauty in front of her is a Harvard graduate, although she looks young, but she seems to have diplomatic experience, in order to avoid her seeing anything, it is better to leave quickly.

Therefore, Li Xiuman took advantage of all Barbara's thoughts, quickly said hello and left, while Barbara was thinking about how to tell Phoebe about her new discovery - she still wanted Phoebe to use more of her experience in Titan rather than Girlhood.
