Li Xiuman sat by the window of the café, with an old Samsung laptop in front of him, looking at all kinds of entertainment news on it, but there was no excitement on his face.

An old man over 50 years old sitting in a café watching entertainment news will inevitably be regarded as a strange uncle with perverted interests, but fortunately, he has a face that is well-known in South Korea, so most of the eyes cast are apprehensive and nervous. Decades of experience in the entertainment industry have long made Li Xiuman know that everyone has a dream of stardom, even if the family is a wealthy young master who has no worries about food and clothing, he still can't get rid of the temptation of 'fame'. Being the first to reach a well-known height among his peers is a desire for recognition in addition to vanity. If anyone could come up under pressure at this time, he didn't mind giving this young man a chance, but after half an hour, no one dared to introduce himself in front of all the eyes in the café.

"President, your newspaper."

The young man who spoke had a serious face, and his actions were calm and capable that did not match his age, and he handed Li Xiuman a stack of newspapers with both hands, and there was a respectful respect for the division commander in both actions and tone.

Li Xiuman asked with a smile, "What does Yanping drink?" ”

The young man replied, "I'll just drink double the strength of Americano." ”

Li Xiuman frowned slightly and said, "It's not good to drink that all the time, I can't get used to you." Relying on that thing and only sleeping three or four hours a day, isn't it a drug addict? ”

"President, I'm here for work, too." The young man's serious face finally loosened a little, and it seemed that he was not very good at coping with the care of others, and he looked a little helpless.

"Work, work, I know that you are working. But you have to understand that we are engaged in the entertainment industry, and entertaining others and ourselves is the highest level of our industry. After all, our products are people, not those dead things that can function normally as long as the process is correct, if you want to bring all your artists like you, I see how you explain it to me. ”

"Not really." Jin Yanping smiled awkwardly.

Seeing that Jin Yanping finally showed the appearance of a young man, Li Xiuman's face eased a lot. This person is good at everything, but this serious temperament worries him the most, since he entered the company, he has been nicknamed a 'robot', and he does things at a glance, without the roundness of a businessman. If it weren't for the fact that he has always been reassuring, Li Xiuman would not treat him like a disciple. As the years passed, he became more and more satisfied with the young man, but his rigid temperament became more and more a constraint for his ascension.

opened the newspaper in his hand, different from ordinary successful businessmen, Li Xiuman directly turned to the entertainment version, and looked at the headline on the front page that Yu Suli was convicted of adultery, he sighed, "I think I was fascinated by her for a while when Yu Suli made 'Watercolor Paintings on a Rainy Day', but I didn't expect her to disappear after getting married, leaving only a title of 'model couple in the entertainment industry' with Park Zhe." Looking at it now, it leaves people with gold and jade, and it is ruined. ”

After sighing, he asked Jin Yanping again: "How is PSY's military service lawsuit?" ”

"Lost the case and was sentenced to return to service." Jin Yanping replied succinctly.

Li Xiuman frowned slightly, and said: "The usury endorsement turmoil between Cui Minxiu and Jin Meili has not passed, and recently it has been revealed that the artist's academic qualifications have been fraudulent. Over the years, the methods of packaging artists are still the same, and the brokerage companies with poor donkey skills dare to fake anything, but some idiots can't even understand the fake, and some actually let the artists have something to do with loan sharks. ”

After a pause, he sighed, "These people are crazy! ”

Jin Yanping groaned and persuaded: "It's not just bad news, for example, after Jeon Do-yeon's Cannes closure, there are many veteran actresses who have made a comeback, and the entertainment industry in the second half of the year should be more interesting." What's more, apart from PSY, most of the scandals have nothing to do with the music industry, and our plans to launch a new group in the second half of the year should not be affected. ”…,

"One wins, one loses!"

Li Xiuman said in a deep voice: "Artists are a general term, if the public has a general contempt for artists, no matter what we launch, it will fail." You should understand that in China, female artists have become synonymous with high-class prostitutes, and it is not because of these scandals? If the entire industry is in a downturn, it's hard to stay out of the way. ”

Jin Yanping seemed to understand something, and said: "The company's reduction in investment in girl groups in recent years is because of the scandals in the entertainment industry over the years?" ”

Li Xiuman smiled: "Then what do you think it is?" The power of X-files in South Korea is no less than that of the 'nude photos' in Hong Kong, which is an impact on the entire industry, it has shaken the foundation of the entire Korean entertainment industry, and it is not up to us to hold on to it. Whether the X-Files is true or not, the public's speculation about the star's footage never stops. Celebrities are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires, we want to make them perfect, we can only keep them at a distance from the public, but distance not only produces beauty, but also makes people look up. ”

"Nobody likes to look up." Jin Yanping muttered: "So no matter whether the scandal is true or not, they will want to believe it, so as to 'look down' on these artists." ”

Li Xiuman nodded, with a teachable look on his face.

Looking at the big picture, everyone knows this, but very few can do it. While Jin Yanping was just focusing on the work at hand, Li Xiuman had already considered the problem from the industry itself, and this gap was not a little bit, but a level of level. Looking at the teacher who once again convinced him, Jin Yanping still asked curiously: "Then what should we do in this situation?" ”

Li Xiuman smiled mysteriously: "We are going to meet someone here today, and his words may help us find a way out." ”

Jin Yanping wondered, is this person a government official or a media tycoon? It is difficult for ordinary people to have such influence.

didn't wait long, Jin Yanping finally saw the true face of this mysterious person's Lushan, he looked ordinary, wearing a suit of unknown brand, it was impossible for him to be in a high position at a young age, and he didn't have a proud temperament with a superior background, and he could even be said to be a complete ordinary person.

He?

Way out?

Jin Yanping couldn't believe it.

"Hello, President Lee so-man."

Lin Weiran shook hands with Li Xiuman, and turned to look at the young man who had been staring at him, judging by his face, he should be about the same age as himself, but the complexity in his eyes made people a little confused. He held out his hand and introduced himself habitually.

"Hello, Lin Weiran."

"Hello, Jin Yanping."

The two hands are clasped together and are equally powerful.

"Okay, let's save the politeness, Weiran, it's not the first time we've met, I can call you that, right?"

Hearing Li Xiuman's words, Lin Weiran took his attention away from Jin Yanping, he didn't know what his peers had to say about him, and he almost turned a handshake into a hand-to-hand competition. He sat down in his position and smiled at Li Xiuman: "Of course you can, it's better for the elders to call the juniors casually, so that I won't be too nervous." ”

Li Xiuman smiled, did not answer, but went straight to the point.

"Yanping, you show the document to Weiran."

Jin Yanping took out a stack of documents with a serious face, and when he handed it to Lin Weiran, he didn't seem to be so willing to let go. He couldn't believe that this young man would be a guide.

Of course, Lin Weiran could feel this hostility, to be honest, he never thought that he would receive Li Xiuman's initiative to contact, after the last JYP trip, he went to S.M the next day, but he still didn't achieve his goal.

Seeing the top of the document, his eyes lit up, "This is S.M's new portfolio promotion plan for the second half of the year?" ”…,

Li Xiuman nodded, "Yes." ”

What is this? Nothing to do? Lin Weiran was a little shocked, because a character like Li Xiuman would never steal from him. I looked down at the documents a few times, only to find that it was meticulous and meticulous, even if it was a scam, it would take a lot of effort to make such a plan.

After waiting for a while, Li Xiuman said: "Yanping, tell him about it." ”

"Yes." Jin Yanping responded, and said in a businesslike tone: "The company plans to launch a group in the second half of the year, and it has been two years since the company last launched a girl group, and we are also exploring many places. The debut promotion method We borrowed from the debut record of 'WonderGirls' at the end of last year, which is a very good initial publicity method, which can make the girl group more accessible to the people and closer to the people's lives......"

"Wait."

After a long pause, Lin Weiran suddenly interrupted, making Jin Yanping frown.

"I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just trying to know what are the characteristics of this project? As far as I know, the company launched two girl groups after the dissolution of SES in '01, but both failed. Four years later, he launched Heavenly Zhixi, but now it has not improved, and at the end of last year, he launched a single female singer Zhang Liyin, and the development is not satisfactory. I also want to know why the company is investing in the women's portfolio market? This market is completely unfamiliar territory for S.M. ”

Li Xiuman said with a smile: "Strangeness also symbolizes opportunity, and the girl group market is like a new continent." ”

Lin Weiran blinked and asked, "Do you want to be Columbus?" ”

"Can't you? Don't look at my age, my sense of direction is still good. Li Xiuman joked.

This is a completely different atmosphere from getting along with each other in the past, Lin Weiran is even more puzzled in his heart, Li Xiuman's friendliness can be revealed from almost every smile he has, there is no love and hate for no reason, this atmosphere is weird everywhere in Lin Weiran's eyes, I have to say, this makes him a little hairy.

He flipped through the information in his hand and said, "I admit that you are old and strong, but you are still a little inadequate. ”

Jin Yanping's brows furrowed even tighter, this project was made by him himself, and even received unanimous praise on the company's board of directors. In the hands of this man who doesn't know where the road came from, he only got an inadequate evaluation?

"Where is it not sufficient?" He asked stiffly, inevitably with some anger in his tone.

Lin Weiran glanced at Jin Yanping and said calmly: "For example, most of the candidates for this combination are just high school students, that is, girls in the eyes of adult men. Let's tentatively decide that the theme of this group is girls, so their debut song, MV planning, and even variety shows and the choice of publicity methods should all focus on this theme, and we want to deepen the impression on the audience, rather than making them feel that this is a group of girls singing and dancing on the stage, selling cute and cute ......"

Hearing this, Jin Yanping couldn't help but want to interrupt Lin Weiran's impulse, these girls knew that Lu Dao was a girl just by looking at it, wouldn't they think about it if they wanted to be an audience? He listened to Lin Weiran's eloquent talk, and even inadvertently showed disdain, while Li Xiuman, who was sitting opposite them, became more and more serious, and his eyes were bright.

PS, two more later, ask for recommendations, collections, all kinds of support.
