Chapter 273: Negotiation

Of course, these things are not the only ones happening in the entertainment industry, but compared to big events, the other things that have attracted much attention are the romances of celebrities, such as Kim Jong-min and Hyun Young dating stolen. Shooting, Lee Dong Jian Han Zhi ended a 4-year relationship, and these people were enthusiastically sought after by the media.

In addition to these, there is another thing related to Tang Menglong, that is, the DSP announced on the 14th that Kim Sung-hee had withdrawn from the team and the KARA group had suspended its activities.

And the result is ...... It's very sad, there is not much attention from people and the media at all, and a small number of media are basically not optimistic about the prospects of this group, as for KARA's fan club, it is a large-scale withdrawal, and what remains is for DSP to give an explanation.

…………………………………………

In a café across the street from DSP, Tang Menglong was sitting and drinking coffee with a man in his fifties, dressed in a black coat and a little frustrated-looking, dressed in the same outfit he had last seen Han Zhenrong...... Well, there's a weird feeling.

Li Haoying was of course very surprised that Tang Menglong contacted him through others, but with Tang Menglong's current status, Li Haoying was more happy, especially on the phone, knowing that the other party wanted to discuss the KARA's combination with him, not to mention how happy he was.

At this moment, the company basically has two attitudes towards the combination of KARA, one is to say that they will add people to the group and then return, and the other is to dissolve directly, which is not as fast as cultivating a new group.

As a regular club, DSP is very interested in profits. But it is not enough to give up directly after a temporary failure, which is very damaging to the company's reputation, so Li Haoying temporarily vetoed the second idea.

But with the release of the news of Kim Sung-hee's withdrawal from the team, the reaction of the media and the public, Lee Haoying felt a little cold, the entertainment industry is like this, the situation of not paying attention to it is even more sad than breaking out any scandals and negative reports.

And at this time, Tang Menglong came to the door, of course he would have a lot of fantasies. But what Tang Menglong has to do. But it has nothing to do with his thoughts

……………………

"Sell their contract ????" Li Haoying looked at Tang Menglong and shouted in some consternation, to be honest, Tang Menglong said this, he was not angry, after all, this combination is not Fin.K.L. And it's so bad now. Of course, there is nothing to be angry about. But he just couldn't understand why Tang Menglong would talk to him about this, was it because of rumors on the Internet that Han Shengyan passed the selection of "Dream Chaser".

Tang Menglong has lived a very fulfilling time during this time. In addition to the recording of the show, he is a teacher at home, one is to teach Park In-jung and Lee Ji-eun to compose, the second is to teach Kang Ji-young some vocal knowledge, the third is to practice Busan dialect, and finally it is a happy family......

As for KARA's matter, of course he remembered it, he had just been waiting for the right opportunity, and now the timing was right, so Tang Menglong got the phone number from Han Shengyan, and then contacted the middle-aged man in front of him.

Looking at Li Haoying's surprise, Tang Menglong was overjoyed, Li Haoying's attitude was actually a little too much, at least from this attitude, it can be seen that KARA is not for sale.

"Yes, they just want to sell their contracts, and President Li should know the current situation of this group better than me, so we can put aside the superfluous topic and go straight to the topic!" Tang Menglong said with a smile, looking very confident.

Li Haoying smiled slightly: "Mr. Tang's words are not right, there is no superfluous topic on this issue, let's not talk about other factors first, I'm very curious, why would Mr. Tang want to buy their contract?" ”

The more politely Li Haoying spoke, the happier Tang Menglong became, so after taking a sip of coffee, Tang Menglong said with a smile: "President Li, why don't you come and guess?" ”

Li Haoying is 50 years old, and when he suddenly heard such words, he had a brief brain twitch, but after a while, he smiled and said: "I can't guess, Mr. Tang will say it directly." ”

Tang Menglong shrugged his shoulders and said: "Since that's the case, I'll make it clear, in fact, the reason is very simple, I have a younger sister who wants to be an artist, compared to being a solo singer, I tend to let her be a member of the idol group, originally I wanted to pick some trainees in S.M and JYP, but knowing the recent situation of KARA, I think it is a good choice to use them as a foil." ”

Li Haoying frowned, and then smiled: "Then it's better to directly let your sister join the DSP, the strength of the DSP is also among the top five in the Korean music industry." ”

Tang Menglong shook his head and said: "Of course I know the strength of your company, but President Li will definitely not be able to accept the contract conditions I want, and even if President Li really accepts, but for the other members of the same group, the huge contract gap is a huge hidden danger, so I can only thank President Li for his kindness." ”

Li Haoying asked curiously when he heard this: "Why don't you tell Mr. Tang what kind of contract is needed to sign Sister Ling?" ”

Tang Menglong looked at Li Haoying and asked, and directly took out the fictional lines and said: "The music contract is 4:4:2, the company is 4, the artist is 4, I am 2, the other contracts are 3:7, and the company is 3 and the artist is 7." ”

Tang Menglong's words were very concise, but they made Li Haoying almost squirt out of the coffee in his mouth, and he felt that this guy was stupid.

Seeing Li Haoying's eyes widen and looking at him in astonishment, Tang Menglong continued: "President Li don't be too surprised, that's just the condition I gave my sister, or don't look at this contract with the eyes of ordinary people, so you won't be too surprised." ”

Li Haoying shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Mr. Tang is really good to his sister, such a contract, no matter which company you get, no one will sign it, even if the other party is Li Xiaoli, but Mr. Tang should please tell the truth, so that I can think about it, the problem of the combination of KARA, maybe Mr. Tang wants to praise his sister is true, but just because of this reason to come to me, it may not be too simple." ”

Li Haoying has been the president for so many years, and he has been in this circle for so long, of course he won't believe Tang Menglong's words.

Of course, Tang Menglong didn't think about simply convincing Li Haoying, so he shrugged his shoulders and said, "President Li is right, in addition to this reason, there is another reason. ”

"Oh?"

"I am very dissatisfied with the contract signed and the treatment that KARA and DSP have signed now."

Tang Menglong's straightforward and strange words made Li Haoying frown and then asked, "What does Mr. Tang mean by this?" ”

Tang Menglong's face became relatively flat at the moment, and then replied: "President Li, don't be angry, of course there is a reason why I am not satisfied." ”

"Oh, then I don't know what Mr. Tang's reason is?" Li Haoying asked with a light smile, he didn't look angry at all, but at this moment, his momentum had changed a little, just like Tang Menglong, he became more formal, and even his body sat up straighter.

Tang Menglong chuckled: "Although I'm embarrassed, but Han Shengyan is my girlfriend, and we have been dating since November, I hope President Li can understand." ”

Li Haoying was shocked by Tang Menglong again this time, he thought that Tang Menglong was going to accuse KARA of the contract problem with righteous words, but he didn't expect to get this answer.

"Seriously?" Li Haoying asked a little weirdly.

"Why does President Li think Han Shengyan shaved her head? Why did I take Han Shengyan to the song war, in fact, I didn't have such an idea at first, but it was only half a month, and this group has come to this point, plus my sister's reason, so I have such an idea. Tang Menglong asked with a smile on his face.

Li Haoying was surprised: "Then you mean, you were originally going to win Han Shengyan?" In that case, she really passed the selection of "Dream Chaser". ”

Tang Menglong nodded and said: "Of course it's true, but that's just a previous idea, I don't want to talk about their contract issues, in fact, I don't want to talk about it, because I don't think the DSP will make too many changes, so I came to talk to President Li about business today." ”

Li Haoying frowned at the moment, and in a few words, he had fully understood Tang Menglong's purpose, which was to poach KARA, as for his relationship with Han Shengyan, now that he thought about it again, it could still be true, didn't the scandal spread some time ago.

At that time, the company was strange, when did Han Shengyan and Tang Menglong meet, but they didn't expect the two to 'hook up' a long time ago.

And Tang Menglong's attitude is already obvious, the so-called sister contract before, Li Haoying also understands, it should not be a real contract, just expressing his attitude.

The conversation between the two is not too hot, everyone is a civilized person, they are all people with status, of course Li Haoying regards Tang Menglong as a peer, of course, not because of his identity as a security minister.

In fact, the main reason is that Tang Menglong's 5 billion investment in "Haeundae" shows that people are rich, plus he is now making trouble in the Korean entertainment industry and has his own team in Hollywood, Li Haoying naturally regards him as the same level.

Now that the other party's attitude has been indicated, Li Haoying is thinking about what to do, improve KARA's contract, and then invite Tang Menglong to be the producer of their next album, which is of course a good method, but Tang Menglong's words have already indicated that it is okay to change the contract, but it must be changed significantly.

Although Tang Menglong's "Color and Black" last year created an amazing profit, there are too many factors involved, such as charity, such as infinite challenges, such as the unchallenged members, as well as JYP, S.M cooperation, and so on.

If these factors are excluded, just that album, it is already the limit to have one-fifth of the current gain, but the entertainment industry is realistic, and numbers represent everything, which is the confidence that has formed Tang Menglong's current strength. (To be continued......)
