Of course, those were just momentary thoughts, so Tang Menglong didn't put it into action, and he didn't necessarily arrange Jiang Zhiying into this combination.

It was only the later situation that made him think about this matter again, and then he made an agreement with Han Shengyan.

At the beginning in the hot springs of the resort, Tang Menglong said that he wanted to live happily and cultivate some stars by the way, not jokingly, on the contrary, he did have this idea, because now he has found that kind of fun, the kind of fun of manipulating other people's dreams and futures.

So of course, there is only one reason why Tang Menglong came to the KARA dormitory today......

……………………

At dinner time, it was almost nine o'clock when it was a little late, but Park Gyu-ri's craftsmanship was not bad, the spicy fish soup tasted okay, and the side dishes were mixed well, Tang Menglong was very happy.

also ate happily, and Nicole, who was sitting across from him, looked like a bit of a heartless silly girl, but her Korean was indeed very rusty, and she was not even as good as Tang Menglong, who had studied for a year.

And at this moment, Park Gyu-ri and Han Seung-yeon were frightened, and they didn't expect that the cultivation that Tang Menglong said would be like this.

"You guys think about it, anyway, I'm not in a hurry, to be honest, after your member quits the team, it is estimated that the DSP company will temporarily suspend your activities, but it is impossible to disband, after all, it is not a small entertainment company, and it is impossible to say that you will be disbanded if you don't show results in a year, and there should be people added at that time, but no one can say what will happen in the future, anyway, my conditions are what I just said. Although I promised Han Shengyan that I would train you, but training is not the same as help, and judging from your current contract with DSP, even if I really train you, I am afraid that there will not be much improvement in income. Tang Menglong said while eating, looking quite serious.

At this moment, Han Shengyan and Park Gyu-ri were sitting together, the two looked at each other, and they didn't know how to answer, and after a while, Han Shengyan replied a little weakly: "But what if the company is unwilling to let us go?" ”

Tang Menglong glanced at her and said with some realism: "Shengyan." Let's be realistic. Maybe the DSP may have valued you in the past, but now you don't get the results they wanted, if it were WG. Now it's definitely not for sale at JYP. As for you. I'm a little embarrassed, but as long as you can give enough chips, it's good for a newcomer in your situation. DSPs are not considered for sale. ”

Tang Menglong's words were indeed a little hurtful, and even Nicole, who was stupid on the side, turned dark, and then Park Gyu-ri thought about it and asked a little seriously: "Then Oba estimates, how much will it cost if you want to buy our contract?" ”

Tang Menglong thought for a while and said: "According to the signing fee of the three of you, the three of you have a total of only 150,000, and the liquidated damages of 20 times are not more than 300 million, so the maximum will not exceed this number." ”

"Oba, are you trying to make us break the contract?" Han Shengyan asked with some surprise.

Tang Menglong shook his head and smiled: "Of course not, breach of contract is just the last choice in desperation, if you can negotiate well, of course it is a good negotiation." ”

"And what if it really comes to that?" Park Gyu-ri asked cautiously, after all, these things are related to their questions, of course they have to understand clearly, and then make a good decision.

"I don't have to care if I really get to that point, I don't have the idea of setting up a brokerage company, when the time comes, I can naturally pay as a friend to help you jump out of the fire, and then let other companies sign you, so that it is not a rule breaker to the outside world, judging from the DSP and your signing conditions, I can have a good reputation, so you don't care about this at all." Tang Menglong had already planned it in his heart, and as far as this money was concerned, he was not allowed to come out by himself, but he had a joint partner, but Tang Menglong's words were a bit of a deception to the three of them.

Tang Menglong has never been an arrogant fool, and he will think that he can fight the invincible opponents all over the world by himself, in fact, because of the politics of the Korean country. The Hallyu has long become the main channel for promoting Korean culture, and it is also one of the national policies, because the benefits brought by the Korean Wave are huge, tangible and intangible.

As a state-sponsored business, most of the large entertainment clubs have a political background behind them. Why was the shadow of the house, like S.M's Comrade Lao Li, sentenced, then suspended, and finally pardoned?

As one of the originators of the Korean Wave, Lee Xiuman's contribution is indeed huge, but he will only have the original disaster if he stands on the wrong side at a critical moment.

Of course, although there is a government. The shadow of the house, but what they have to do is not to say absolute control, you can play how you want to play in the entertainment industry, as long as you don't play too much, we are your solid backing.

And poaching people or something, in fact, is a big taboo in the entertainment industry, especially poaching people on the surface, that is to break the rules, of course, if it is an artist whose contract expires, then don't say it, this is legal and reasonable.

But digging the artist during the contract period, it's not good, no matter how the artist signs the contract, but the liquidated damages are basically linked to the signing fee, unless it's really a fool who doesn't care about anything for his debut, of course he will take a good look at the contract.

And the brokerage company is not a fool, specifying a thousand times a hundred times the liquidated damages, even if there is a government protection, but this TM has something that can't be too much, isn't it, how to certify such a contract? In fact, the issue of artists' contracts has caused a lot of strikes and social repercussions, and the South Korean government is already looking for opportunities to knock on these brokerage companies, but the entertainment companies may be competing with each other, but they are absolutely consistent in the general direction.

Because of this situation, unless it is those stars who re-sign after becoming famous, it is almost impossible for newcomers to sign tens of millions, and more than one million is a lot.

Therefore, for example, the members of KARA signed a contract of 5 million per person, and the liquidated damages of 20 times were only 300 million.

But even so, no one will dare to openly poach people, just like the liquidated damages of the current members of WG, which will definitely not be too high, and there are companies that can pay liquidated damages, but no one will dig them, because breaking the rules is equivalent to doing against the entertainment industry, even if you really dig people, then you will face verbal criticism in the entertainment industry, as well as the banning of all brokerage companies.

As for TV stations, of course, they will also have their own trade-offs.

Of course, all of this premise is based on rule-breaking poaching.

Tang Menglong's method is actually much simpler, first talk to the DSP, if the other party does not agree, he will directly pull the media to hype up the contract and life problems of KARA members, and then lend money to Han Shengyan and the three of them in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, let them jump out of the fire, and then secretly contact other companies to sign them, and then wait until the limelight passes, and then let them return to the stage, of course, the impact on them is definitely not as light as he said, He didn't say what the three girls would face if they failed.

However, Tang Menglong did not know that South Korea's politics. In fact, the government has had many discussions and suggestions on some negative news and news generated by the issue of artist contracts, but all the brokerage companies are holding together and not letting go, and they can't find a breakthrough.

If Tang Menglong really makes a big fuss, I'm afraid that if he doesn't have to contribute too much, someone will help him stir up this matter.

Of course, these things are basically only known to the real power figures of these entertainment companies.

"That~that~ then how long will it take us to pay back this money?" In the end, Han Shengyan asked with some concern.

Tang Menglong said with a smile: "Don't worry too much, according to the normal contract, 100 million per person, it's not too high a number, maybe you can't use it for a year, you can pay back the money, and besides, this money is not to be repaid immediately, it can be deducted from the income in the future, and if the DSP is willing to release people, this money will be paid by others, so you think about it yourself, but it's best for you not to say anything about this matter, even if your parents choose to say, Because if this matter is revealed, you should understand the consequences. ”

All three nodded, and then ...... Nicole went to ask the two sisters to explain to him in detail, and a child who is not good at Korean can't afford to be hurt.

After a while, Park Gyu-ri asked with some seriousness, "Can I know how Oba will train us in the future?" ”

Tang Menglong was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and then said: "It's hard to say, but there are three of you a little less, when the time comes, I will let one of my younger sisters, the girl named Jiang Zhiying you saw last time, I will let her join your group, and when the time comes, practice together for a period of time, and make a new debut according to the actual situation." ”

"That Ji-young sister wants to join us?" Han Shengyan asked with some surprise, of course she knew the relationship between Jiang Zhiying and Tang Menglong, since Tang Menglong was willing to let her join the KARA group, then she would definitely not perfunctory them, right?

At this moment, Han Shengyan and the three of them are already a little excited, of course, the main reason is that Tang Menglong's production ability has been certified, and last year, just one "Color and Black" had already established his reputation as a top producer, and later at the Golden Record Awards Ceremony, that album became the biggest winner.

And although "Color and Black" has created an extremely amazing sales because it is a charity album, even if the charity part is removed and the sales are halved, which is considered normal sales, the income is also amazing, and when the number exceeds a degree, then the impact is completely different.
