Chapter VIII Monthly Review II
There is only one Kwon Po in the whole of South Korea, and there is only one RAIN. And everyone will have some flaws, some will be fatal, some will be harmless. Ma Xiangyi is not alone in his desire for SOLO. S.M's founder Lee so-man also has it. As long as he watched RAIN sweep the huge cake of SOLO with a stormy development, Li Xiuman couldn't wait to launch a male SOLO to compete with RAIN. Ma Xiangyi is a good choice in Li Xiuman's heart, after all, whether it is looks, singing, or other auxiliary skills, he is the best candidate for SOLO. However, the only flaw in dance has become the biggest drawback. can't dance, at best it's just a love song idol. For South Korea, where dance is popular, the attraction is really not much. It also does not conform to the S.M music style. Li Xiuman has never been able to figure out why Ma Xiangyi's dancing strength is so weak, he can dance very well, but he is always intermittent, giving people a feeling of not lasting. Every time he saw Ma Xiangyi's dance score, Li Xiuman secretly shook his head helplessly. It's just that every time he sees his old opponent Park Zhenying showing off triumphantly, Lee so-man's teeth itch with hatred. The next monthly review will be Li Xiuman's last chance to give Ma Xiangyi, if the dance strength still does not rise, then Li Xiuman will not hesitate to put Ma Xiangyi into the preparatory group, completely breaking the heart of wanting to make him SOLO.
For the combination, Ma Xiangyi is indeed a rare candidate. Excellent singing ability can completely elevate the singing strength of the group, and the dance can be completely handed over to other members with outstanding dance ability. As for that rare face, he is also the best choice for the façade of the combination. Indeed, the definition of a combination is to combine some flawed members together to form a near-perfect whole. SOLO shines with only one person, but the group shines with everyone in the group, making it easier to gather fans and develop. The most important point is that it takes almost as much resources to launch SOLO as it does to launch a portfolio, which is one reason why S.M has only launched a portfolio this year. Of course, the lack of trainees who can really make their SOLO debut is also a reason that cannot be ignored.
Office of President S.M
Li Xiuman looked at the sky outside the window with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but squint his already small eyes slightly under the gentle June sun. Halfway, Li Xiuman sighed softly, turned around and sat on the desk, and then picked up a stack of documents on the desktop. I saw that there were a few big words written on the document "Application for Share Transfer". Li Xiu's eyes showed a trace of helplessness, and finally picked up a pen and quickly signed his name. From then on, S.M.'s stake will only be 35% left. Although he is still the first shareholder and chairman, he is less than 5% away from the second holder. But thinking that S.M will usher in a more vigorous development in South Korea because of this second shareholder, Lee so-man is also more full of expectations.
Li Xiuman picked up the phone and pressed a few buttons, and with the "beep... It didn't take long for the other party to be connected.
"Oh no, no? Lee so-man XI? A very gentle voice sounded appropriately.
"Hello Kim Yoo-mi XI." Li Xiuman also replied in a timely manner.
"You think about it, right? As long as you sign, I promise to bring more development to S.M in the film and television industry. Trust me, I'm Kim Woo-mi who does what she says. Kim Woo-mi's unique gentle voice exudes infinite confidence.
"Yes, I naturally believe that you can come over in the afternoon. Hope we have a happy cooperation. As a matter of sincerity, you will be offered a position on the board of directors and a seat on the board of directors of film and television. Li Xiuman smiled faintly.
"Hehe, President Li, I naturally know what you think in your heart. However, I won't worry about you this time, the film and television director will be the film and television director. Jin Youmei smiled faintly, but the slightly narrowed phoenix eyes revealed a wise look. Does S.M have actors? At least Kim Woo-mi doesn't have a name for S.M's actors, so it's no different from nothing. It's funny, to put it bluntly, Li Xiuman just gave two empty positions.
"Ahem... There are indeed some actors who are not well-known now, but I believe that under the strategy of Director Kim, S.M will definitely produce a group of very good actors. Li Xiuman's old face was unnaturally a little red, and it was a very shameless thing to be exposed so easily.
"Of course, let's meet in the afternoon." The corners of Kim Youmei's mouth Qiao Qi curled slightly, and her confident tone came out naturally. Then, he hung up.
PM3:45。
"Squeak...... a Mercedes-Benz van parked in the parking lot in front of the S.M, and then eight men who looked like bodyguards stepped down from the co-pilot and the back door. They quickly unfastened the parasols in their hands, and then respectfully lined up on both sides. When everything was done, a black heel stepped on the ground, and the slender and straight calves were wrapped in a layer of flesh-colored stockings, followed by a graceful figure that appeared in the center of several bodyguards. The woman wore a black dress, which looked extravagant but not vulgar. The slender and white neck carried a necklace of white gold, and the somewhat unfathomable ditch revealed a green gem, which should be one with this necklace. Further up is the slender chin, the pink lips are like two blooming petals, and the nose is high and builds a perfect bridge between the big moist eyes and the lips. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses added a bit of intellectual beauty to those eyes. The thin black eyebrows lie quietly above the eyes, while the bangs cover the rounded forehead, and the hair on the back of the head is combed into a ponytail. This person is none other than Kim Woo-mi, who had been on the phone with Lee so-man before, an unfathomable woman.
"Lead the way." Jin Youmei said in a light tone, and the four bodyguards nodded "yes", and then walked into the S.M hall with a parasol.
"Anihasseyo, do you have anything to do with S.M?" The front desk lady who was facing the hall asked with a smile after seeing Kim Woo-mi and the others who had entered.
"I'm Kim Woo-mi, and I think Chairman Lee must have given you an explanation." As she spoke, Kim Woo-mi stepped on the smooth marble and walked towards the elevator. The front desk lady was slightly stunned, then picked up the phone and dialed Li Xiuman's number, informing Li Xiuman of Kim Youmei's arrival.
"Bang bang...."Kim Woo-mi casually stood in front of the president's office and knocked on the door, and only pushed the door in after getting "please come in".
"Welcome, Ms. Kim Woo-mi." Li Xiuman quickly walked up to Kim You-mi and stretched out his hand to show friendship. (PS: Lady means what a married man calls a woman.) )
"Hehe, thank you." The little hand, which was as soft as a boneless, naturally shook it with Li Xiuman and then quickly let go. Li Xiu had a "happy" smile on his face, and sat on the sofa with Kim Youmei, and the two began to greet each other.
Kim Youmi asked for a stack of documents from his subordinates and handed them to Li Xiuman, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's get down to business first, and I'll have the opportunity to talk to Chairman Li in the future." ”
Li Xiuman took the document with a smile, looked at it carefully and found no problems, and signed his name after taking a pen. Then he handed the document that he had signed before to Kim Woo-mi.
"After the signing, we will be a family, and I hope we can work together happily." Kim Youmi also looked at it carefully before signing her name. Judging from each other's actions, the two are still a little defensive of each other.
"There's going to be a board meeting for you tonight, and I hope you'll be able to attend." After the document was signed, Li Xiuman was naturally very satisfied. After getting up and taking a bottle of red wine and pouring a glass for Kim Woo-mi, he returned to Kim Woo-mi again and handed it to Kim Woo-mi with a smile. It's just that Jin Youmei didn't look at the wine glass, hugged her shoulder and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I only drink 82-year-old Lafite." Other red wines are nauseating. ”
"Uh...."Li Xiuman's old face instantly turned red with anger, and he dared to put on a face just after signing? 82-year-old red wine is not so easy to get, although there are some on the market, but there are too many fakes. Li Xiuman, who likes red wine, naturally knows that the 82-year-old Lafite is the best red wine in the Lafite series, and it is not something that can be bought if you want to.
"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't give you face, but I really do." Afraid that Li Xiuman would misunderstand, Kim Youmi explained again.
"Ahem, it's okay, it's my lack of preparation." Only then did Li Xiuman know that he wanted to be crooked, and his old face became even redder.
"They all say how good the trainees of S.M are, and I really want to see it. And I've heard that S.M has a competition every month, I wonder if that's the case? The corners of Jin Youmei's mouth lifted slightly, and all the development was in her hands. Trainees are a good resource, and they are still in the growth stage, as long as they are trained well, and then use the Showbox signboard to poach, then they don't have to worry about the other party disagreeing. Of course, this has to be done in secret.
"Of course, trainees are the most important part of the company's development in the future. And S.M trainees are indeed the best quality of all entertainment companies at the moment. Speaking of this, Li Xiuman's tone unconsciously revealed a strong self-confidence. S.M's scary thing is not the artist who pushes it once a year, but the strong reserve blood. A steady stream of the best of the best. From the beginning of H.O.T's popularity all over Asia, to Li Xiuman's forced dismantling of H.O.T, people said that S.M was going to fall if it didn't work, but Li Xiuman then launched Mythology, BOA, TVXQ, and other idols, all of which quickly made up for the vacancy of H.O.T. Strong reserve blood, as well as clever sales planning, are the most terrifying existence of S.M.
"Hehe, I naturally believe this. Otherwise I wouldn't have taken a fancy to S.M. Kim Youmi laughed, but then her tone changed: "But Chairman Li, when is the next monthly review?" I'd love to see it. ”
"It just so happens that June 5 is the day of the monthly review. Since Director Kim is interested, let's watch it together. Although Li Xiuman had doubts, he still made an invitation.
"Okay, I'll definitely participate then." Kim Youmi smiled and nodded, and ended the meeting.
