Chapter 28: No Criticism
Han Shenghao is a failed singer, his singing is very average, and his appearance is on the verge of being unsightly. The www.biquge.info of the main brokerage in South Korea claims to be the fourth largest brokerage company and is 'on the verge' of surpassing JYP. But in reality, the situation is much worse.
Personally, Han Seung-ho doesn't have Park Jin-young's creative strength, as a producer, he is a mess, and he hasn't been 'popular', and his understanding of hiphop is not at all an order of magnitude with YG's Yang Hyun-suk, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to lick Lee so-man's heels when cultivating artists, and in terms of operation, he can't compare to Kim Young-min with five stacks. To put it simply, he is a person who is good for nothing in terms of ability except for persistent efforts and not greed.
In terms of the company's strength, S・M has an annual turnover of more than 100 billion won, YG is also nearly 100 billion won, and FNC is only more than 30 billion won. On the other hand, FNC, although the boss is Han Shenghao, but in fact, the ownership of this company does not belong to him, FNC is a subsidiary of MnetMedia, and it can also be seen from the name that this company is based on FTISLAND and CNBLUE, it is more appropriate to say that it is a studio, Han Shenghao cannot be regarded as a boss, and he is just a part-time worker, and he is not even exempted from his duties.
In this way, it is very aggrieved for management. Because he does not have the right to dispose of his income at will, for example, the company's operating income last year was 30 billion won, and the net profit was more than 10 billion won. But he can't, he doesn't have the right to use it, he can only make a report if he wants to use it, and it depends on the meaning of 'above' to decide whether the money can be spent or not.
Because of this limitation, many ideas cannot be realized. Just like now, AOA's next album has been produced to 80 percent, but because the budget was overrun last time, the album was still short of one billion won in distribution costs, and the album was on the verge of running aground. Han Shenghao was already ready to mortgage the house he had just bought, but at this time, he saw Ah Jiu. It's like seeing an oasis before a person who has been trekking in the desert for ten days is about to turn into a dried corpse...... As a person in this circle, he still knows a little about Ah Jiu's news. Girls' Generation,Originally, because of last year's events,It's on the verge of disbanding.。 But this year, there was a rumor that not only was the largest project in nine years going to be made, but it was also a slogan of 'no matter the cost, as long as the effect', and even, in addition to group activities, the captain Taeyeon also had solo activities!
Han Shenghao is also a representative of the company, and he knows the company's operation doorway. The rumors he heard in the capital market that after Li Xiuman returned to the 'administration', he once asked for financing everywhere, which shows that S.M has no money. Under such circumstances, how can it be possible to support Girls' Generation to make such a big project? It is not an exaggeration to say that Girls' Generation is enough for AOA to return for three years. If there is such money...... Han Shenghao didn't dare to think about that kind of life, he was afraid that he would laugh out loud.
But what can be done, you can only think about it. But people are like this, once an idea is generated, the heart is like a grass, and they can't restrain it. If you are in a hurry, the rabbit will bite...... AOA's album has reached 80% completion, and it is short of the last billion won to burn the disc and the cost of publicity. Time is too important, if you wait until next month, Girls' Generation returns, AOA's results will definitely be affected, this gap is fate!
How can you get money from Brother Jiu? Han Shenghao pursed his lips and pondered, thinking for a while, he turned his heart sideways, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Xue Xuan, a member of the AOA.
In the AOA's practice room, Ah Jiu is watching them practice a new song that is said to be released soon. Suddenly, she saw Xue Hyun stop, then went to take a look at her phone and walked out, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and she retracted her gaze and focused on the members who were still practicing hard.
"Alright, let's take a break," Jimin clapped his hands and said after practicing again. I've been practicing three times in a row, the weather is still very hot in the summer, and after two times, everyone's sweat has become a small river, and today the original situation was that Ji Min went to inform alone, and the rest of the people practiced, but Ji Min came back, and they all practiced together.
Ah Jiu is looking at them, they are also looking at Ah Jiu, they don't know who Ah Jiu is, although they have all heard of the name of 'Brother Jiu', but they are not right. It was also because of such curiosity that Jimin went to peek at Ah Jiu. All the members felt very uneasy about the sudden appearance of a man in the practice room, but more curiosity than uneasiness, who is this person?
Among the members, there are those who are afraid of life, but there are also those who are bold, even if Kwon Min-a is the more daring one, she is so curious that she can't help but come over, squatting down and looking at Ah Jiu, and suddenly stretched out her hand: "Looks older than me, Oppa?"
The other members who didn't have the courage all looked over, and Jimin's heart jumped to his throat, and he was about to say something, but was stopped by Ah Jiu with his eyes. Ah Jiu stretched out his hand, shook it with Kwon Min-a, and said, "It's indeed Oppa, what's your name?"
"My name is Kwon Min-ah, what about you, Oppa?"
"My name is ...... Park Chan-young. Ah Jiu paused for a moment and said, people in the rivers and lakes, how can there be no reason not to use the 'trumpet', in this kind of thing, Park Canrong doesn't know how many times he has carried the pot for him. But this time, it doesn't seem to be so easy. As soon as Kwon Min-ah heard him say that he was Park Chan-young, he immediately pouted and said, "Liar, we performed at the Mid-Levels Circuit, I have seen Chanyoung Oppa, you are not him." ”
"Uh......" Ah Jiu was a little embarrassed, he was also a person with a head and a face, and he was pierced on the spot, and his face was indeed a little embarrassed. But what is more embarrassing than him is Kwon Min-ah, because she suddenly thought of one thing, she knows the identity of Park Chan-young, if a person dares to risk his name...... So this person is,
Kwon Min-ah subconsciously swallowed his saliva, jumped up like a spring, and immediately bowed to the bottom. Ah Jiu was suddenly helpless and said, "What is this for?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you!" Kwon Min-ah refused to look up, crying in his voice. Everyone else was also dignified, secretly surrounding Jimin to ask Ah Jiu's identity, and when they learned that he was the ninth brother of the biker party, they were all frightened like frightened rabbits.
"Don't be so nervous, I'm not a bad person...... I'm very talkative," Ah Jiu laughed, Ji Min pouted when he listened, is it easy to talk? I don't know who the guy who was embarrassed just now is! Ah Jiu seemed to have four eyes, and glanced up at Ji Min, who immediately looked elsewhere and pretended not to have done anything.
Perhaps to prove that he was a good person, Ah Jiu looked around and asked, "The weather is so hot, you practice dancing so hard, and the company doesn't provide drinks?"
"We don't have ......," Jimin explained a little embarrassed, "We don't have enough levels, and we ...... The company has no money now. ”
"Oh......" Ah Jiu raised his eyebrows and asked again, "What about your income?"
When it came to income, everyone's faces suddenly became a little ugly, and they looked a little embarrassed. This time it was Kwon Min-ah who answered, but it could be seen that she didn't want to say it either, but Yu A-Jiu's obscenity still said: "Our income is very small, two or three million won a month, and we have to buy cosmetics by ourselves, so we don't have much money." ”
"Then you don't want to do it, can't you just resist?"
"The company doesn't have any money...... Jimin whispered, "The president is not corrupt, he puts all the money into making our albums and events." For the sake of the future, acceptable ......"
"It's really pitiful," Ah Jiu sighed, thought for a while and said, "Assistant Shen, go and bring my boxes, bring them all, and ask someone to accompany you if you can't hold them." Now that I've seen it and I'm in a good mood, I'll help you. ”
Jimin couldn't help but be overjoyed at once...... In fact, she brought Ah Jiu with this in mind. She saw that Ah Jiu was generous, and the casual 'reward' was 5 million won, so she thought that if she brought him over to watch the performance, if he was in a good mood, he could also give the members a little money, which was nothing to him, but for the members, it solved a big problem, it was originally delusional, but now that she really heard it, she almost couldn't believe her ears.
Jimin took Ah Jiu's car keys and hurriedly ran out, no one else knew what the box Ah Jiu was talking about, Kwon Min Ah saw that Ji Min listened to Ah Jiu like this, and called her Assistant Shin, and asked curiously: "Oppa, you and Ji Min ......"
"She was my one-day assistant and I caught her in the beauty salon. Ah Jiu explained casually, Xue Xuan also came back at this time, Ah Jiu heard the voice and looked at the door, just in time to see Xue Xuan coming in, looking at each other, he saw Xue Xuan's eyes were very complicated, he smiled, Xue Xuan quickly avoided his gaze and hid behind a member.
Someone asked her what she was doing out, Ah Jiu heard it clearly, and Xue Hyun's explanation was a call from home, but it was obvious that it was not a truth.
Ah Jiu could probably guess where she went, but she didn't say anything, and continued to chat with the members, asking everyone's name. Knowing who is who, Jimin also came back with the box, and the girl with her was called 'Cao'e', and just now Kwon Min-ah told Ah Jiu. ”
"Assistant Shen," Ah Jiu opened the box, and everyone suddenly let out a 'wow', for them, they had never seen so much cash. Ah Jiu was not surprised by their reactions, he just paid a little attention to Xue Xuan, he saw the hesitation in Xue Xuan's eyes, and disappeared the moment he saw this box of money, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that this is not a strong-willed person.
Ah Jiu took out a bundle of money from it, then buckled the box, took out a few and handed them to Zhimin, and said, "Assistant Shen, on such a hot day, go buy some cold drinks, you can buy anything, you can eat whatever you want, I will treat all of them." ”
"Thank you Oppa!" suddenly brushed his thanks, and the sweetness in his voice was more than a hundred pluses, and Jimin took the money to buy a cold drink. Ah Jiu noticed that Cao'e still went with her silently, and his evaluation of her was a little higher in his heart.
Ah Jiu looked at the rest of the people, thought about it, opened the cash box, and put the money back. Everyone's eyes suddenly became a little disappointed, but no one said anything. Ah Jiu smiled and opened the smaller box, and the golden light almost dazzled the girls' eyes. Ah Jiu took out a pair of 'gold poker', then buckled the box up, and said: "That's it, in the process of cold drinks, let's play a small game, everyone performs a personal skill, I think it's good, I'll give one, this one is about one million won, you can take it to the gold store to exchange money, how about it, is anyone interested?"
"Will you really give it?" Kwon Min-a's saliva was about to drip down, and he couldn't wait to snatch it all away, Ah Jiu saw that her reaction was cute, patted her head, and under her completely confused eyes, he directly handed over a poker: "The reaction is very cute, I like it very much." ”
"I, I, I...... Is this for me?" Kwon Min-a spoke incoherently, but the reaction of her hand was very natural, she clutched the gold poker tightly and didn't let go, and bit it, but she didn't bite anything, she never touched the gold, she didn't know what the gold looked like, just watching the movie like this, she also took a bite.
Everyone else was also envious, Ah Jiu glanced at Xue Xuan and found that her eyes were more determined, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Among the members of AOA, Xue Hyun has the best physical condition and a very abrupt figure, and she is also more prominent among the members, but this personality is ...... Ah Jiu thought about it for a while, and he was relieved, it is true that for their current situation, money is really important, and based on the principle of equivalent exchange, it is actually understandable.
Since Ah Jiu took out the gold poker, he just wanted to give it to them. Let the performance of a personal skill or something, in fact, is to give a step down, for the members of the girl group, who does not have personal skills. With the example of Kwon Min-ah, everyone else is no longer reserved, they all performed individual skills, everyone got a gold poker, Kwon Min-ah got one without performing personal skills, and one got another individual skill, one person got two, and his mouth couldn't close, and he felt ashamed, and his face was red to the base of his neck.
