American Dream?

The term is not new to Mr. Lin, because in college he almost thought that finance was something Americans had come up with. A Zhejiang buddy in the same dormitory is inspired to become China's Soros, and a man with glasses in the next bedroom admires Buffett, listening to their nonsense every day and night, Lin Weiran has heard and seen many classic cases in the US financial market.

Graduation is approaching, and it is their American dream for their graduates to be able to work in the United States, and if there is an olive branch extended by a large American investment bank, it is like an invitation from heaven.

But Lin Weiran knew that heaven does not mean ease and comfort, if you don't work hard or don't work hard, it will be the same in any country.

"The American Dream?"

Lin Weiran muttered softly, only feeling incredible. In his opinion, even if Park Zhenrong no longer has the ability to operate, he is still in his forties, and such an unrealistic dream is really incredible.

Li Xiuman chuckled and sighed: "Lin is not Korean, and he is a little younger, so he shouldn't understand the influence of the United States on Koreans, nor the influence of American music on Korean music in that era." ”

Lin Weiran blinked, he really didn't understand. But none of these issues mattered, and Li Xiuman said that he had sabotaged S.M's plan, and he wanted to know what the plan was.

"What do you say I ruined?"

S.M originally planned to let Girls' Generation begin to resume exposure this month, return to the three major TV stations for a special Christmas stage next month, and officially make a comeback in January next year. But because of Lin Zuo's actions at that reception, this year's plan will be canceled. ”

"For what?"

"Because of Wonder-Girls...... Lin Production doesn't quite understand that the outbreak period of an idol group is only once, and there are only two in a very small number. The company's packaging planning cannot control the public's preferences, but it can try to meet the public's preferences during their outbreak. For Girls' Generation, the black ocean of '08 completely ruined their first outbreak, and S.M was preparing for a second time, but they appeared. ”

Lin Weiran saw something in Li Xiuman's eyes, and asked in disbelief: "Do you think Girls' Generation is an idol group that can surpass Wonder-Girls?" ”

Li Xiuman replied slowly: "Because their positioning is the No. 1 girl group in South Korea, if they are destined to not be the first, then there is no need to exist." ”

Looking at Li Xiuman's expression with a look that he didn't know whether he was confident or confident, Lin Weiran didn't feel the slightest arrogance. Whether this man's ambition is rhapsodic or not is not a question that he should be concerned about at this time, knowing S.M's position on girlhood, he still has doubts about Park Jin-young's statement of the American dream.

"Wonder-Girls' No-Body song has gone out of Korea and caused a pop boom throughout Asia, and while I don't know about that, I know that the next six months or a year is the best time for Wonder-Girls to make a profit. At this point in time, you actually told me that Park Jin-young has an American dream? You mean, he's going to get Wonder-Girls on the US market? ”

Listening to his words, Lin Weiran felt that this was nonsense. But Li Xiuman in front of him actually nodded, and said a paragraph that he couldn't believe, but he had to admit that it was very well-founded.

"I don't know if Rain has been researched by Lu Daolin Productions, but as far as I know, advertising agencies have a research report on the popular artists in these circles to determine what kind of endorsement and image they are suitable for. In fact, Rain's image is completely praised by the news media, and he is popular because all reporters say that he is popular, so everyone admits that he is popular.

Rain's influence in Asia has reached its peak since the romantic full house summit, and although he has returned to China every year to shoot a TV series, the focus of his activities has shifted overseas, most notably in the United States. …,

Even though his subsequent TV series did not receive good ratings, everyone still felt that he was popular, because he was the only male artist in South Korea who successfully transformed from an idol singer to an actor at that time, and his image was representative, and there was no male solo singer in the Korean entertainment industry at that time who could compete with him.

Even now, the album is not selling and the music is not popular, but he is still the self-proclaimed representative Korean male artist in South Korea. The situation of Wonder-Girls may be slightly different from his, but they face the same situation...... In today's Korean music industry, there is no girl group that can compete with Wonder-Girls. ”

People in the entertainment industry say that the media is the uncrowned king, which is true, because everyone is golden. When every platform that people come into contact with gives a certain artist superstar treatment, over time, this artist has the image of a superstar in the eyes of the public.

Of course, it's easier said than done, and there are several conditions needed to achieve this situation, the first is representativeness, Wonder-Girls is equal to the retro craze, which is the symbol of Korean girl groups; The second is uniqueness, when other girl groups are holding lollipops to sell cuteness and hook the pure fantasies of men, Wonder-Girls stands out with cute little sexiness; The third is news, in the silent days of the girl group, Wonder-Girls, as the pioneer of the revival of the girl group, who wouldn't say a few words about entertainment reporting?

There are many more details to pay attention to, but the three hard conditions of Wonder-Girls have been met, and it seems that it is not impossible to say that they start to repeat Rain's development trajectory.

Lee so-man continued: "Lim doesn't know enough about Park Jin-young because there is no need for that, but S.M. has a lot of investigations on this opponent. On average, Park Jin-young has to go to the United States for two or three months every year, but this year he went for almost four months, and even the MV of Wonder-Girls has a bit of an American flavor, not to mention my personal relationship with him, as long as you are an insider, you know his desire for the United States.

However, Rain has only one, there was no male artist who could steal the media attention with him back then, but now there is a girlhood who can compete with Wonder-Girls. ”

S.M's position for Girls' Generation is the first in Korea, but now there are people standing in that first position, and competition is inevitable.

Lin Weiran was still puzzled: "You said that I destroyed ......"

Lee so-man replied: "I can think of it, and Park Jin-young can also think of it, and the only brokerage company in South Korea that can push his group to the top in one fell swoop is S.M." We were hit hard by the black ocean that Girls' Generation faced, so Park Jin-young would feel that even if Wonder-Girls went to the United States, the domestic market in South Korea would be saved. Because he opened the girl group market, but no one can continue it.

It's just that it's different now, Lin's actions are enough to make Park Jin-young hesitate, the 'virtual idol' is facing millions of Korean fans, and if he has your support, he can't guarantee that his prediction will come true. So his dream is about to wake up now, and it was Lin who woke him up. ”

The black ocean makes insiders think that Girls' Generation does not have the ability to reach the top in a short period of time, and with the retro trilogy, Park Jin-young has made Wonder-Girls have the conditions for Korea's No. 1 girl group. The most threatening opponent of the future will not be competitive in the short term, and he can certainly prepare his own plans, no matter how bold and wild they may be.

But now it's different, because a Lin Weiran appeared out of thin air, and the main group of 'virtual idols' is fans, and if he has strong support, Girls' Generation has the possibility of replacing Wonder-Girls in Park Jin-young's eyes. The plan can be changed, the United States can not go, Park Zhenrong is a president after all, and he knows a little bit about business.

Because his actions may provoke strong opponents for Girls' Generation, S.M's positioning of this team is the first in Korea, and if it is destined to fail, there is no need to exist. It's not that Girls' Generation will suddenly disband, look at the girl group Tenkami Tomoki launched by S.M in 05, their current situation is not much worse than fending for themselves. …,

The plan can change, S.M is a big company, and its portfolio is not just a girl's generation. SHINee, a newcomer boy group that was launched not long ago, is waiting to be fed at the moment, and if S.M comes to the conclusion that Girls' Generation can't live up to the value expected by the project, then they may not be the next Heavenly Jixi.

Realizing this, Lin Weiran's tongue was bitter, but on the surface, he was still not moved in the slightest.

"What can I do?"

Li Xiuman was not surprised, because of the sudden designation at that cocktail party, Lin Weiran and S.M had reached a consensus of interests in Girls' Generation. It doesn't do anyone any good if they disappear, but when they do, everyone is happy. What can bind people together is not only feelings but interests, and now, Lin Weiran is a trustworthy partner.

He smiled and said, "Help Park Jin-young continue to dream." ”

Lin Weiran pondered for a moment and nodded in acceptance: "I know the truth." ”

He stood up, didn't say goodbye to Li Xiuman, and walked straight out of the conference room.

The door was closed again, and after saying so many words, Li Xiuman seemed to be a little tired. He looked at the screen at the end of the conference room, but he didn't have the idea of replaying the music video that had been frozen.

Even though he had a lot of thoughts about Lin Weiran, thinking of the girls under him, Jin Yanping still blew the wind: "According to the current situation, Representative Lin is our best partner. ”

Li Xiuman chuckled and shook his head: "The best partner is always a fool with money and no brains, and the better one is a dreamer like Park Zhenrong who puts his obsession on the ethereal." Lin Weiran is not the best collaborator, because I don't know what Lu Dao is thinking. ”

Jin Yanping was puzzled: "What do you say?" ”

Li Xiuman confessed: "I don't know what he chose for Lu Girlhood, did he see something or believe in our ability?" This is a big gamble for him, he wants to show Mr. Zhao his ability, and he also wants to prove himself to the insiders. Such a risky thing is not like someone like him can do. ”

After pondering for a moment, Li Xiuman asked, "I heard that Yun'er has the most contact with him?" ”

Jin Yanping nodded and confirmed: "Yes." ”

Li Xiuman made a decision: "Yingmin has always been in charge of the film and television department, you pay more attention, and notify me as soon as you find anything." Falling in love with a female artist is a good fate when it should come, and it is a bad fate at other times. ”

Jin Yanping naturally accepted Li Xiuman's decision, because this man, who was both his teacher and his boss, was the goal he had been studying.

Turning off the projector and passing by Lin Weiran's seat just now, Jin Yanping suddenly asked, "Teacher, who do you think Representative Lin is?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Li Xiuman shook his head slightly, and then replied: "I can't see through it, but I don't see his special personal style in acting." But this is the best style, because I can guess Park Jin-young's next step, but I can't guess his next step. ”

Lin Weiran, who was thinking hard in the Mercedes-Benz car, did not know that at this moment, Mr. Zhao had become the most mysterious veil on his body, and he himself had mastered the best style.
