Chapter 104: Do you know Chinese?

"Zikun, why did you call me again, didn't we just talk on the phone and miss me so quickly, or did you call from South Korea to the United States without phone charge?" Luo Han received a call from Liu Zikun early this morning, and couldn't help but tease.

Hearing Luo Han's words, Liu Zikun's face suddenly darkened, and he roared: "You go away for Lao Tzu, there is no problem with my orientation, I called you to discuss something, how can I say that you are also my **oss, the company's affairs are still like asking your Jianyi." ”

"Haha, just kidding, what are you talking about the company?" As soon as he got down to business, Luo Han got up.

"It's about that, I decided to release the single 'OPN' in mid-November, and then enter the Chinese market after the promotion period."

"Well, you just have to make a decision on this, it's a good decision to enter the Chinese market, like -ARA was originally due to the improper operation of their president Kim Kwang-so, and its popularity in South Korea declined quickly, but with the entry into the Chinese market, it has been very popular, and it is also good to consider the Chinese market while the new song is released."

"But what I had in mind was not only to work with Chinese entertainment companies, but also to take the opportunity for our company to establish partnerships with Chinese entertainment companies. You know that we have reached a strategic partnership with QQ Music in China, which company do you think we should choose? ”

"You should have your own choice, which ones do you prefer?"

"Well, what I like more is China's Banana Project, Kugou Music, and Ali Music, how much do you know about them?"

"Yes, that's right. I really know a little bit about the companies you mentioned. First of all, the Banana Project is a company founded by Wang Sicong, the son of the richest man in China, ******, and has been involved in entertainment, sports, and e-sports******. ”

"The second one is Kugou Music. This company is China's leading digital music interactive service provider, a leader in Internet technology innovation, and the largest competitor of QQ Music, and has successively cooperated with dozens of record companies, copyright management machines ~♂dǐng~♂diǎn~♂小~♂ say,.∨.o≯s_(); It has accumulated tens of thousands of digital music copyrights, and is a good company. "There is also Ali Music, in fact, to be honest, I am more inclined to cooperate with them, and Ma Yun, chairman of music Alibaba, is a very thoughtful idea. There are very capable people who can get today's achievements completely by climbing up from the bottom of society step by step, and this is not easy. "Although Ali Music has genuine music from dǐng records such as Rolling Stone, Believe, Huayan, Huanya, B, etc., their content library is insufficient in Japan and South Korea, and this diǎn, after we cooperate with them, it is a win-win situation for us." But these are not the key, the most important thing is Gao Xiaosong and Song Ke, the top executives of the Ali department. Both men are well-known figures in the Chinese music industry, and they are now the founders of Evergrande Music. And this Song Ke. He used to be the executive deputy general manager and music director of Warner Records China, and the chief executive officer of Beijing Taihe Maitian Music Culture Development Co., Ltd. "You should be familiar with these two companies, they are authoritative companies in China's music industry and even the entertainment industry. More importantly, they really want to make good music. Not that I said, Wang Sicong's banana plan is more commercial-focused than theirs. "So you think Alibaba Music is the best candidate for our company to carry out online music distribution, marketing and promotion, and other business cooperation in China?" "Yes. That's what I think, but it's up to you to decide, I'm not saying that the banana plan is bad, they have their advantages. "Okay, I got it. I'll think about it. After speaking, Liu Zikun and Luo Han hung up the phone. Do you have an itinerary now, and if not, let them come to my office. “

It's better than in the dormitory in Seoul, the girls don't have an itinerary today, so they are resting in the dormitory, and suddenly the captain Heo Su-ji receives a call from his agent. "Okay, okay, I'll bring the members right over right now." Hanging up the phone, Xu Shuzhi hurriedly shouted in the super room: "Children, come out quickly, we have something to do." "Ernie, who called you, is there any itinerary all of a sudden?" An heard the captain's shout and reluctantly came out of the room. "It's a call from my agent, OPPA, but it's not an itinerary, it's the president who wants to see us, so let's go right now." "President? Is there anything important about looking for us in such a hurry now? "How do I know, the agent oppa didn't tell me, anyway, let's go over quickly." After saying that, the five people reluctantly returned to their rooms to change their clothes and prepared to go out.

Half an hour later, all the members had come to AN Company, in front of the president's office. Half an hour is already fast for the girls, and if it weren't for the president's call, just to prepare, the time for makeup would be more than half an hour. "You're here, sit down first." Liu Zikun watched the girls all sit down, and then said: "I asked you to come over today to tell you something, before talking about this matter, I want to ask you, have you ever learned Chinese?" "Chinese? Could it be that this time it was about China? The five girls thought silently in their hearts. Well, this, except for Hui Xuan and Xi Yan who have learned a diǎn, the other few are a diǎn, and Hui Xuan and Xi Yan's Chinese level is only a few simple words to meet and greet. Xu Zhizhi replied embarrassedly.

They are not to blame for this, because unless the company has the intention of cooperating with the Chinese side for a long time, if the artists are not interested in this aspect, almost none of the artists will specialize in learning Chinese, so the Chinese proficiency of several members is almost no different. "Haha, it's okay, don't be embarrassed, after all, the company doesn't require you to learn Chinese, but from now on, you must start learning Chinese." "Learn Chinese, but aren't we about to release a single?"

"Yes, so you are willing to work hard, and the reason is related to why I asked you to come here today. That's right, after discussion, the company decided to cooperate with Chinese music companies, and you are the pioneers. ”

"So, are we going to enter the Chinese market like our predecessors?" Without waiting for Liu Zikun to finish speaking, the anxious An rushed to speak in front of Liu Zikun.

If an artist in another company dares to interrupt the president so rudely, he will definitely be punished, but the atmosphere of an is better, and the president Yoo Zikun may not be very old because he is not very old, and the relationship with the company's artists is very good.

"Haha, you guys are different from -ara, now -ara, they are basically developing in China, and their company has a feeling that they are going to give up the Korean market. You are different, we are only cooperating with the Chinese side, and the South Korean side still cannot be left behind. ”

"Okay, we'll follow the company's arrangement."

After coming out of the president's office, the girls discussed: "Ernie, do you think we should also cooperate with the Chinese agency of -ara's predecessors?" "This is not something we can consider, since the company wants us to open up the Chinese market, then we just need to sing a good song, but Luo Han oppa should know, right?" "That's right, Luo Han oppa is the president of the conference, why don't we ask him?" "Ah, Luo Han oppa is the best for you, you better ask, haha."

(Thank you for the loss of the heart, the heartache and the short-lived reward!) (To be continued.) )
