Chapter 63: Swap LOEN and MelOn!

The next day, June 23, was a Saturday.

Yesterday's light rain has passed, and today is a sunny day.

After the rain, the sky and the air suddenly became clear.

At nine o'clock in the morning of this day, Kang Meteor came to a café near the LOEN Entertainment Company in Samseong-dong, Gangnam District.

In an elegant box, Jiang Meteor was asked by two people.

One is Shin Won-so, who is the president of LOEN Entertainment.

The other is An Xiulu, a senior agent at LOEN Entertainment.

Jiang Liuxing met the girl Li Zhien before, when Li Zhien went to LOEN Entertainment Company to participate in the first interview for the selection of trainees, Jiang Liuxing sent Li Zhien to LOEN Entertainment Company, and deliberately looked at the building of LOEN Entertainment Company, and he was still quietly thinking about something in his heart when he looked at it.

He wasn't thinking about anything else, but wanted to sign a contract with LOEN Entertainment.

Because LOEN Entertainment Company also approached Jiang Liuxing once and wanted to sign him, but when Jiang Liuxing put forward his conditions, the other party refused, which made Jiang Liuxing feel very regretful.

In recent days, with Jiang Liuxing's fame and popularity on the Internet, many entertainment companies are looking for him, including LOEN Entertainment Company, other entertainment companies have been avoided by Jiang Meteor, only LOEN Entertainment Company, Jiang Meteor not only did not dodge, but was very excited to meet the other party three times.

After three meetings and three exchanges, LOEN Entertainment finally agreed to Kang Ryung's conditions, which were the three conditions that Kang Ryung's previous offer to YG Entertainment's president Yang Hyun Suk.

Today, Jiang Liuxing came to see the contract, and if there is no problem, he can sign the contract.

……

Although LOEN Entertainment is not as popular as S.M and YG, LOEN Entertainment is not inferior to S.M and YG, and the power behind it is very large, and it is comparable to Mnet.

Founded as early as 1978, LOEN Entertainment has been established for 29 years, originally called Seoul Records, and is now a subsidiary of SK Telecom, the largest telecommunications company in South Korea.

In South Korea now, there are three entertainment companies in the Korean record industry that occupy most of the market for production and distribution, they are LOEN, Mnet and S.M, among them, LOEN is the best, it is greater than Mnet, and Mnet is greater than S.M, and the three entertainment companies operate in different ways in the record industry.

S.M only publishes its own records, just burying its head in making money, and its company has a lot of idols, and the output is enough, which can be regarded as a daily income.

Mnet's production direction is more inclined to popular K-pop, and there are many subsidiaries of the company, most of which also produce their own works, and there are not many other companies that choose to cooperate with Mnet, but some of YG Entertainment's works will be distributed by Mnet. In addition, Mnet has the ability to export its works abroad.

As long as it is good music, whether it is K-pop, pop, rock, RB, hip-hop, jazz, classical, contemporary gospel music or Korean traditional music, etc., all of them are all single-handed, not only that, but it also imports audio and video products from the European and American markets to China, and exports Korean local music works to foreign countries, and its distribution capacity is extremely wide.

In addition, SK Telecom, the parent company of LOEN, also controls MelOn, the largest audio source website in South Korea.

Because of this, many other companies are willing to choose to cooperate with LOEN Entertainment.

Looking at all the large, medium and small entertainment companies in Korea, LOEN Entertainment's attitude towards music is the most commendable.

Nowadays, the society is developing rapidly, and the development of the record and music industry is also changing at a high speed, LOEN Entertainment can do 29 years in this industry and stand tall, not only to have financial resources and patience, if there is no love for music, I am afraid that it has long disappeared when electronic music sources hit the traditional market.

Mnet and S.M, when they do record releases, follow the trend and make money as their main purpose, but LOEN is very brave, not only can follow the trend of the times, but is also willing to spare no effort to promote and produce something that does not make money, and stick to the conscience of a music.

For example, in South Korea, Mnet and S.M are good at using fashion trends to open up the Asian market, and they are the siege soldiers, while LOEN is the defender of the city, on the one hand, they import European and American music, so that the Korean people will not leave the music pop circle, and on the other hand, they carefully protect their own country's culture to avoid being cleaned out of the eyes of the people by the invaded foreign culture.

Most of the artists under LOEN Entertainment are not mainstream music, and they are more fond of lyrical music that can show their singing strength, so in terms of following the trend of the times, LOEN is weaker than Mnet and S.M. In addition, the enrollment model of LOEN Entertainment is different, only recruiting, which is completely a talent scout and recommendation recruitment, and there is no large-scale draft like S.M.

Therefore, LOEN Entertainment has not created a very famous artist until now, and not a single façade artist can do it.

However, LOEN Entertainment's treatment of artists is top-notch in South Korea, the contract has always been more generous, and the company does not object to artist lovers, whether it is an artist or a trainee, the company's desire to control is not high, unless it is a working period, and the other time gives artists enough freedom.

This attitude towards artists is very unique in South Korea, and it can even be said that there is some subversion of the traditional Korean brokerage company, that is, only artists from China and Europe and the United States can enjoy this kind of treatment.

……

If YG Entertainment is a good choice for Kang Ryung, then LOEN Entertainment is the best choice for Kang Ryung, and it is also the company he wants to go to the most, and it is the most suitable company for him to go to.

Jiang Liuxing is very consistent with the temperament of LOEN Entertainment Company, both of them are a little proud, maverick, and unusual.

Signing in to LOEN Entertainment Company, Jiang Liuxing's dream chasing path can be smoother, and he is more likely to become the brightest and unique star, and become the star he hopes to be in his dream.

At this time, in the box of the café, after Jiang Liuxing was invited by Shen Yuanxiu to sit down, he looked at Shen Yuanxiu who was sitting opposite with a frank gaze, and asked in a respectful tone: "President Shen, are you really willing to agree to the conditions I proposed?" ”

Kang Woo-sung has great respect for Shin Won-so, because he knows that Shin Won-so is not only the president of LOEN Entertainment, but also a representative of SK Telecom, and his status is higher than that of Yang Hyun-suk. Today, a big name like Shen Yuanxiu is willing to meet Jiang Liuxing in person, which has already made Jiang Liuxing feel satisfied.

Shen Yuanxiu nodded and glanced at An Xiulu who was standing behind him.

An Xiulu knowingly handed a prepared contract to Jiang Liuxing.

Habitually, Jiang Liuxing didn't sign the contract immediately after taking it, and looked at it carefully under his senses.

Seeing Jiang Liuxing carefully checking the contract, Shen Yuanxiu was not dissatisfied, but showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes, feeling that Jiang Liuxing was a young man who was very serious and had a good attitude.

Half an hour later, Jiang Liuxing checked the contract, feeling excited and happy in his heart.

This contract is exactly what he wants, LOEN is no longer like the previous YG, the three conditions he put forward are ghostly, and there are no other strict restrictions, the contract period is five years, the vacation is more reasonable, and he is willing to cooperate with Jiang Liuxing's studies, and there are no restrictions on love issues, and the desire for control is not high, giving him enough freedom.

Moreover, the contract also pointed out that he was willing to give Jiang Liuxing a signing fee, although it was not much, but it showed sincerity.

It's a very sincere contract!

There are many reasons why LOEN Entertainment is willing to give such a contract.

First, LOEN's artist contracts have always been more generous.

Second, LOEN has long taken a fancy to Kang Meteor and thinks that he is a rare musical genius in South Korea.

Third, Jiang Liuxing's personality and genius ability are very in line with LOEN's criteria for selecting artists.

Fourth, in South Korea, many entertainment companies are often supported by a façade artist, LOEN is not short of money at all, has sufficient resources, and has strong distribution strength, what is urgently needed is a façade artist, LOEN feels that Jiang Meteor is very suitable, and with Jiang Meteor's creative talent, it is likely to lead other artists of the company to popularity.

Fifth, Jiang Liuxing has now become famous and is very hot on the Internet, it is a good time to sign him, and he will make his official debut immediately after signing, it is easy to become popular, and the company will be able to make a lot of money.

Sixth, now there are a number of entertainment companies that are opening conditions to compete for Jiang Meteor, and if LOEN doesn't hurry up, Jiang Meteor will be missed by it.

Among the six reasons, the second, third, and fourth points are the key points, and the fifth and sixth points are the driving force, if there is no fifth and sixth points, even if LOEN wants to sign Jiang Meteor, he will not rush to agree to the high conditions proposed by Jiang Meteor, otherwise LOEN would not have rejected Jiang Meteor and would have signed him a long time ago.

After being optimistic about the contract, Jiang Liuxing immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Shen Yuanxiu: "President Shen, thank you for being willing to give me such a contract." ”

Shen Yuanxiu smiled: "Then sign a contract, I hope you won't let me down in the future." ”

"I won't let you down." Jiang Liuxing said as he signed the contract.

Jiang Liuxing stood and bent down to sign, because after this signature is signed, he will be regarded as an artist under Shen Yuanxiu, and he needs to have enough respect for the president, which is also Korean etiquette, for example, An Xiulu, even if he is a senior agent, he has been standing respectfully behind Shen Yuanxiu from the beginning to the present.

Looking at Jiang Liuxing's attitude, Shen Yuanxiu's eyes once again showed a hint of appreciation, realizing that although Jiang Liuxing's personality determined that he was difficult to control, his character was still very good, Shen Yuanxiu felt that as long as LOEN Entertainment Company treated Jiang Liuxing well, even if Jiang Liuxing did not renew the five-year contract, most of them would continue to bring benefits to LOEN.

After Jiang Liuxing signed the contract, Shen Yuanxiu pointed to An Xiulu behind him: "He will be your agent in the future." ”

Jiang Liuxing nodded, smiled at An Xiulu and said, "I'll trouble you in the future, Mr. An Xiulu." ”

An Xiulu is a 35-year-old man, with a somewhat sturdy figure and not a high appearance, Jiang Liuxing has communicated with An Xiulu twice, and it can be seen that this is a person with a good personality, who is more sincere and straightforward, and he is also very serious in his work.

An Xiulu smiled and said, "This is my duty, it's not a trouble." ”

……

The contract was successfully signed, Jiang Liuxing did not delay Shen Yuanxiu's time any longer, and walked out of the café excitedly and happily.

Not long after leaving the café, a phone call came, and it was Yang Hyun-suk.

Jiang Liuxing answered: "Hello, is it President Yang Hyun-suk?" ”

Yang Xianshuo said: "It's me, how did you think about the contract I gave you before?" ”

Jiang Liuxing was amused in his heart, after so many days, Yang Xianshuo already knew that he was unwilling to agree, and he had already taken the initiative to call Yang Xianshuo, saying that he would not consider the contract again, and now Yang Xianshuo still asked him this, undoubtedly on purpose.

Jiang Liuxing said calmly: "I'm sorry, President Yang Xianshuo, I won't sign that contract." ”

Yang Hyun-seok said: "Just stop thinking about it? ”

After a pause, Jiang Liuxing said calmly: "I have just signed a contract with other entertainment companies. ”

Yang Hyun-seok was curious: "Oh, can you tell me which company I am?" ”

Jiang Liuxing said: "LOEN." ”

Yang Hyun-seok said, "Okay, this company is not bad, it seems that we YG still have no fate with you." ”

Jiang Liuxing said respectfully: "I was able to get your appreciation from President Yang Xianshuo before, which is already a kind of fate. ”

Yang Xianshuo said: "Maybe, it's a pity that our fate is still less, well, since you have signed a contract, I won't say more, when you make your debut in the future, I will still take care of it if you have the opportunity, after all, you are Professor Li Yuchang's protégé." ”

Jiang Liuxing hurriedly said, "Thank you." ”

When the phone hung up, the corners of Jiang Liuxing's mouth showed a playful look, and he was also glad that he had not compromised on signing with YG before, otherwise he would have missed the best place to go to LOEN.

The phone hung up, and on the other end of the phone, YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun-seok was sitting in his office, and Kwon Ji-ryong was still standing in front of his desk.

Quan Zhilong asked eagerly: "President, what did he say?" ”

Yang Hyun-seok said calmly: "He has signed a contract with LOEN Entertainment. ”

Quan Zhilong let out an "oh" and was stunned.

Because Quan Zhilong felt a little regretful, but he was more happy for Jiang Liuxing, he knew that LOEN Entertainment Company was a very good company, and it was also very suitable for Jiang Liuxing, and he also knew that the company Jiang Liuxing wanted to go to the most was LOEN.

Seeing that Kwon Zhilong was stunned, Yang Hyun-seok would be mistaken, thinking that Kwon Zhilong was worried about something, so he said in an encouraging tone: "Don't worry, even if he is very good, after he really debuts, he will definitely not be able to compare to you Bigbang, you have to be confident in this, anyway, I firmly believe it." ”

Quan Zhilong nodded, but quietly thought in his heart: "Although I am also very confident, I am really not sure about this matter." ”

……

What Jiang Liuxing didn't know was that when he left the café, when Shin Won-so walked out of the café with An Xiulu, a car suddenly stopped next to them.

It's a black Jacos sedan.

It was Jin Bin who was driving, and it was Xuan Min Zhong who was sitting in the back!

The window rolled down, and Hyun Min Zhong shouted to Shin Won-so, "Hello, President Shin." ”

After Shen Yuanxiu saw Xuanmin Zhong, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked to the car and said respectfully, "Hello, Secretary Xuan, how could I see you here?" ”

Xuan Min Zhong smiled and said, "Can I delay you a little time and get in the car and talk to me?" ”

Shen Yuanxiu hurriedly said, "Of course there is no problem. ”

With that, Shin Won-so opened the car door and sat next to the Xuanmin Bell.

An Xiulu stood outside the car, looking surprised and curious, surprised because he knew who Xuan Min Zhong was, and curious because he didn't know why Xuan Min Zhong suddenly came to Shen Yuanxiu.

After Shen Yuanxiu got into the car, Xuan Min Zhong got straight to the point: "Did Jiang Meteoring sign a contract with you just now?" ”

Shen Yuanxiu's eyes widened, but he didn't expect that Xuan Min Zhong was looking for him to ask about Jiang Liuxing.

"How could this young man Jiang Liuxing have a relationship with Secretary Xuan?"

Shen Yuanxiu was surprised in his heart.

Immediately, Shen Yuanxiu calmly said about the signing of Jiang Liuxing.

……

At noon that day, Xuan Min Zhong appeared at a funeral home.

At this time, at this funeral home, a woman is holding a wake for her father.

As in China, in South Korea, after a family funeral, there is a 3-5 day vigil in the funeral hall of the funeral home.

At this moment, this woman was standing in a lounge next to the auditorium with Hyun Min Chung.

Hyun Min Chung sued this woman about Jiang Liuxing's contract with LOEN Entertainment.

When the woman heard this, she pondered for a long time.

After a while, she picked up her phone and made a call.

"Hey, is it President Jiang?" The voice of a middle-aged man came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me." The woman said, "Chairman Choi, I have already thought about the business cooperation you discussed with me before. ”

"Really? Would you like to let your company work with SK? ”

The woman said calmly, "I don't want to." ”

"Ah, that's a shame, can you think about it again? As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, I am willing to give enough sincerity. ”

The woman suddenly said, "No, I don't want to cooperate with you, but I'm willing to transfer my company directly to you!" ”

"What?!" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became startled, "Transfer to me?" Chairman Jiang, you're not kidding me, are you? You know, I'm very sincere, and I don't want you to play such a joke on me. ”

The woman said calmly: "I'm not kidding, but I have one condition, exchange your LOEN and MelOn!" ”
