Chapter Eighty-Nine: Shining Star
Helpless, Kim Jong Kook had no choice but to explain: "Holy Martyr, it's not what you think. I joined UrbanWorks Entertainment solely because of my trust in it, and because it accepts all JKEntertainment employees to join without discrimination. This is very tempting, after all, if I want to join a new company, I am most relieved that the employees of the previous company are the ones who have helped me a lot. ”
Hearing this, Kim Sung-yeol also knew Kim Jong-kook's idea of joining UrbanWorks Entertainment, since it was not because he was facing being dismissed, then this matter would be easy to do, and at that moment Kim Sung-yeol smiled: "Brother, so many companies you just chose UrbanWorks Entertainment, it seems that they are very lucky." ”
"The main thing is that we have been working together for a long time, and you also know that my main activity now is to record "RunningMan", and the CF I received in Korea is basically received by variety shows, so I think if I join UrbanWorks Entertainment, I can get more protection." Kim Jong Kook is no longer the time when he won the triple crown back then, and now as he grows older, his ambitions have gradually been extinguished, and some are more steady.
Artists also eat youth, Kim Jong Kook knows that although he looks quite popular now, compared to those young fresh meat who are rising, gradually, he will go downhill, and these little fresh meat will go uphill, and he must make some plans for the future, while he is still a little famous, make more money to protect the rest of his life.
Jin Shenglie also heard the meaning of Kim Jong Guo's words, but a trace of bitterness and sourness rose in his heart at the moment, he didn't blame Kim Jong Guo for having this thought, compared with 9 years ago, now they have grown too much age, in the first six years of coma, when he woke up, he couldn't feel the great change of time, but seeing phablets, high-rise buildings and advanced medical equipment would make him feel a little emotional.
However, when he found out that his former friends were gradually buying middle-aged and starting to grow old, he suddenly lost it.
Seeing that Jin Shenglie sent it, Jin Zhongguo couldn't help but laugh and said, "What's the matter, are you also tempted?" As far as I know, you don't seem to have found an entertainment company yet, why don't you come to UrbanWorks Entertainment, I believe they will definitely offer you a good contract, do you want to try? ”
UrbanWorks Entertainment did find Kim Jong Kook to talk about his contract issue, and he also mentioned it bluntly, they are quite interested in Kim Sung-yeol, but UrbanWorks Entertainment and Kim Sung-yeol are not familiar with it, so they also discussed Kim Jong Kook to help him make an appointment with Kim Sung-yeol once, but Kim Jong Kook didn't want to interfere with Kim Sung-yeol's choice, so he never said it, but in his heart he was still looking forward to the opportunity to work in a company with Kim Sung-yeol in the future.
Seeing Kim Jong Kook inviting him to UrbanWorks Entertainment, Kim Sung-yeol couldn't help laughing and said to Kim Jong Kook: "Although I really want to work with my brother, I already have a suitable company, but my brother should you think about it and come to work with me." ”
Kim Jong Kook didn't expect Kim Seung Lie to find the company he belonged to, and he was a little stunned at the moment, but then he was relieved, Kim Seung Lie is so sought-after now, there will definitely be many companies to find him, and I believe that the conditions offered by some companies will not be too bad, so it is normal to sign him, but Kim Jong Kook is still very interested in Kim Seung Lie's company, he asked with a smile: "Have you signed a new company?" I don't know which company it is. ”
"ShiningStar Entertainment" Kim Sung-yeol said a name that Kim Jong Kook was very unfamiliar with.
“ShiningStarEntertainment? What was the name of this company before, and why did I think I'd never heard of it before? Kim Jong Kook couldn't help frowning and asked, since he could sign Kim Sungyeol, presumably this company is not a general, but this name is very unfamiliar, so Kim Jong Kook will ask like this under the influence of his own preconceived ideas.
Kim Sung-yeol smiled faintly and said to Kim Jong Kook: "ShiningStarEntertainment is an entertainment company I just registered, and the formalities were half completed on Monday, brother, it's normal for you to sound unfamiliar." ”
"Your company? Who are you partnering with? Hearing this, Kim Jong Kook was no longer calm, and he asked Kim Sung-yeol.
"I drove it myself this time, how about brother, consider coming to me?" Kim Sungyeol said with a smile.
Hearing this, Kim Jong Kook didn't have half a laugh, looking at Kim Sung-yeol's appearance, he knew that this was true, so Kim Jong Kook was also serious at the moment, he was worried that Kim Sung-yeol would lose money by opening a company, so he was concerned: "How much money did you invest?" Shenglie, if you just want to open a brokerage company that serves you like Brother Shi, I suggest you don't invest too much. ”
Kim Jong Kook has a deep understanding of this, after all, JKEntertainment is a lesson from the past, so Kim Jong Kook still kindly wanted to remind Kim Sung-yeol not to step into his old path, and Kim Sung-yeol also knew that it was for his own good, so he immediately said: "Brother, thank you." But this time, I was serious, I had already bought a piece of real estate in Yangcheon, and I couldn't do it there for the time being because I was still going through the construction procedures, so I temporarily bought an office building in Myeongdong as a temporary office space. ”
Hearing Kim Sung-yeol say this, Kim Jong Kook couldn't help but say slightly, this is a posture to do a lot of work, just these two pieces of land are not less than 10 billion won, and at this time, Kim Jong Kook saw Kim Sung-yeol's face with a determined look on his face, his heart couldn't help but move slightly, he could feel that after coming back this time, Kim Sung-yeol was different from before, and he became more confident and responsible.
"So, what kind of contract are you going to sign me for? Also, do you have any thoughts on the future development of ShiningStarEntertainment? "Kim Sung-yeol's Hadu has already said this, and Kim Jong Kook is no longer verbose at the moment, he is a very righteous person himself, otherwise it would be impossible to bring his own JKEntertainment old people over when he negotiated with UrbanWorks Entertainment.
Now Kim Sung-yeol is going to start his own company, but Kim Jong-kook will not say anything but say that if Kim Sung-yeol really has a very mature idea, then he will not be thinking about signing a contract with UrbanWorks Entertainment, but will directly join Kim Sung-yeol's new company. As for why he did this, Kim Jong Kook's reason is very simple, he needs himself more than UrbanWorks Entertainment Kim Sungyeol, and he is Kim Sungyeol's brother, so he has to help his new company gain a foothold.
And when Kim Sung-yeol heard Kim Jong Kook ask like this, he already knew that Kim Jong Kook was going to test himself, and whether he could persuade Kim Jong Kook to join his ShiningStarEntertainment depended on how he answered, and he fortunately had made some preparations before coming, and said without a trace of nervousness: "ShiningStarEntertainment has just been established, if you want to train your own trainees, It can take 2-5 years to perfect. ”
Kim Jong Kook nodded approvingly, he hadn't thought about JKEntertainment to train trainees before, but his schedule has always been full, and the company has no other artists to fill the façade except himself, so he has never recruited trainees.
Therefore, the company's priority at the moment is not to recruit trainees. And if you want to poach singers or groups from other companies, then the price is a bit too great. In South Korea, the status of singers and idols is lower than that of actors, so many companies are also firmly grasping these people. In other words, we can't dig up the red combination company if they don't let people go, and it's useless to dig up the ones that aren't popular, because they are not popular either. Kim Sung-yeol continued.
Kim Jong Kook had no objection, Kim Jong Yeol said it very comprehensively, and he thought so himself, he motioned to Kim Jong Lie to continue, and Kim Jong Yeol got Kim Jong Kook's signal, so he continued: "So for a long time in the future, the early development of ShiningStarEntertainment will focus on the actors, and the singers and actors will have more initiative to keep their own going, so as not to be restricted by the company." ”
"It's a good idea, and I'm sure they'll be willing to come to you as long as you can make a contract that's satisfying. However, at the same time, I have to remind you that the reason why some big-name entertainment companies can attract artists is largely because of the resources in their hands, have you taken this into account? Kim Jong Kook kindly reminded.
"This is something I thought about before I started ShiningStarEntertainment. For the TV station, the only way to deal with it is to have connections and money, fortunately, I happen to know a little senior who can talk, and as for money, I have saved some money in the past few years, which is enough to get through the relationship. Kim Sung-yeol said.
Seeing that Kim Sung-yeol had already thought about this problem, Kim Jong-kook couldn't help but nod slightly, so it seems that he was not just on a whim, it seems that he was well thought out, and Kim Sung-yeol saw Kim Jong-kook nodding slightly, and immediately hit the railroad while it was hot: "Also, ShiningStarEntertainment still has a very important job to find contracted directors and screenwriters, as an entertainment company, we have the ability to produce movies and TV series by ourselves." ”
Kim Sung-yeol's idea surprised Kim Jong Kook, it's not that no company has done this, but there are still very few in South Korea, and the entertainment companies in South Korea are relatively pure, not that their well water does not violate the river water, and it does not involve such a reason, mainly because they have a specialization in the art industry and limited funds, and if an investment failure occurs inadvertently, it will be a huge blow to the company.
So at that moment, Kim Jong Kook reminded: "Holy Martyr, how much money are you going to invest in the construction of ShiningStar Entertainment?" ”
Finally asked the question, Jin Shenglie waited for Kim Jong Kook to ask like this, and immediately stretched out one of his fingers with a smile and said, "One hundred million." ”
"100 million won? Shengyeol, this seems to be too" Kim Jong Kook couldn't help frowning, 100 million won is estimated to be only enough money to build a house, I really don't know what Kim Sungyeol thinks, and I complained a little bit about Kim Sungyeol in my heart at the moment.
It's just that before Kim Jong Kook finished speaking, Kim Sung-yeol spoke again, and he smiled: "I'm talking about 100 million US dollars." ”
