Chapter 255: Tension
T-ara's filming MV is in full swing here, trying to catch up with the progress as much as possible, and on the other side, Kim Kwang-so, the president of CoreContentsMedia, has long seen the current form, and fans who like T-Ara have been waiting for T-Ara's new song to be released.
On the one hand, he asked the director to shoot as soon as possible, on the other hand, he had already planned the release of T-Ara's new album this time, as well as the chart stage, the song source has been released, and it occupies the first place in the major charts, a good form, just like last year's Bigbang's "Blue", 2NE1's "Lonely", Han Fei's "Ican", "Sparksfly", Girls' Generation's "RundevilRun", "Hoot", all of which are announced as soon as the music source is announced. There are fans who download it like crazy, and almost overnight, they refreshed the major song charts and came out on top.
"It seems that feng shui takes turns, and this time it's time for us to corecontentsmedia scenery, Li Xiuman, Li Xiuman, my T-Ara is no worse than your girlhood!" Kim Kwang-so sat in the boss's chair and muttered to himself.
At present, when it comes to girl groups, the first thing that comes to mind for the public is Girls' Generation, this Li Xiuman has an inseparable relationship, it is he who single-handedly shaped Girls' Generation, and Girls' Generation also helped the company to sit firmly in the position of the leading boss of the Korean economic company.
And Kim Kwang-so's ambition now is to make everyone think of T-Ara for the first time when talking about Korean girl groups, he has spent a lot of effort to promote it, these days, T-Ara has almost occupied the headlines of major entertainment news, and only Kara can compare with it. However, Kim Kwang-so has not yet considered YG Company, after all, the relationship between the two companies is now in an ambiguous period, and the "marriage" of Han Fei and Park Ji-yeon has promoted the cooperative relationship between the two companies, and Yang Hyun-seok has a like-minded goal with him, that is, to be on a par with S.M Company, in the Korean brokerage company, the three-legged state of the tripod.
It's just that Kim Kwang-so's idea is good, but he ignores the other person.
In the office of the president of JYP Company, Park Jin-young was sitting at his desk, frowning with his eyes closed, as if he was struggling with something, and his fingers kept knocking on the table, which completely showed his inner anxiety.
Compared with the current ambition of CoreContentsMedia, compared with YG's increase in staff, JYP, which was originally on par with these two brokerage companies, seems to have been left behind by them, which makes Park Zhenying, who has always been very proud, difficult to accept, at this moment he is thinking about whether to recall Wondergirl from the United States, but when he thinks of this, his heart seems to be dripping blood, Wondergirl has indeed gained a preliminary foothold in the United States, But he already owes a lot of personal debts, and a lot of dollars paid for it, everything has completely exceeded the company's expectations, but at this moment, it is really killing him to let Park Jinying bring Wondergirl back from the United States, if he comes back, then the previous efforts will be in vain.
"No, they must not be called back from the United States!" Park Zhenying muttered silently, turned her eyes to several posters of the company's artists on the wall, stared at one of them, showed a firm gaze in her eyes, and said: "It's time for you to take the lead, JYP will see if you can help JYP hold up half a day in the Korean girl group without calling Wondergirl back!" ”
In May, the "flames of war" were raging, and the major economic companies smelled the smell of "gunsmoke", T-ARA was already destined to set off a storm, and Kara, who had just joined YG Company, was also completely optimistic about the outside world, and they all waited and waited.
At this time, in Park Min Young's office, the two leading bosses of S.M Company are sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee, and the rich fragrance fills the entire space.
"Do you have any thoughts on the current form? YG and CoreContentsmedia are both 'grinding guns', should we also make any big moves, otherwise by then, the market that Girls' Generation has occupied may have signs of insecurity! Kim Young-min said in a deep voice with a frown.
Li Xiuman closed his eyes, silently tasted the aftertaste of coffee, and said slowly: "At present, the main target of Girls' Generation is the market, originally I wanted to target the Chinese market, but there are many dragons and snakes there, although there are many Girls' Generation fans, but whether it can develop well is still unknown." The plan I have already thought of cannot be changed, and in the near future, Girls' Generation will have fewer activities in the country. ”
"So what should I do, now the most famous girl group in the company is Girls' Generation, without them blocking the two tiger wolves of YG and CoreContentsmedia, we would be very passive!" Jin Yingmin frowned, thought for a while, and continued to speak: "Otherwise, let Girls' Generation learn from Superjunior, divide into several teams, and carry out activities separately?" ”
"It's not time yet, at least let Girls' Generation gain a foothold in the company, and before helping the company open up the market, we must not let Girls' Generation separate activities in the form of a team, and separate activities with nine people together, which are definitely two concepts, this is put first, shouldn't we pour all our hopes into Girls' Generation, isn't there other combinations in the company!"
Lee so-man immediately dispelled Kim Young-min's idea of using Girls' Generation as a squad, maybe this would allow them to earn more each, but for the current company, this is absolutely not possible.
"You mean ?!!!" Kim Young-min can get mixed up to this point, how can he not keep up with Li Xiuman's thinking, when Li Xiuman talks about another girl group, he immediately thinks of f(x).
"That's right, it's f(x), and now they have completely gained a foothold in the Korean entertainment industry, although their popularity is not as good as Girls' Generation, T-ara, Kara, these groups, but it won't be bad, as long as we arrange it properly, spend a lot of effort to promote, and collect songs, I think, we can create another girl group that is not weaker than Girls' Generation.!"
Kim Yingmin saw the word ambition in Li Xiuman's eyes.
Now the company is focusing on building the fifth ace boy group after hot, mythology, TVXQ, and Superjunior, and the company spends most of its manpower on them, and Li Xiuman said at this moment that he wants to make every effort to build f(x) and build it into a girl group that is not weaker than Girls' Generation, how is this possible!
"How do I feel that you are like a swollen face and fat man now, the company is spending energy to help Girls' Generation develop in this book, to maintain the development of other men's groups in peacetime, and the men's group that you have always been thinking about in your heart, but if you put most of the company's energy into it, you won't drag the company down?" Kim Young-min asked with a wry smile.
As the president of the company, he is one of the two people who know the most about the current situation of S.M, and he knows very well that although the company can do this with its current funds, the consequences will be unimaginable if something happens. Especially now that the company has been listed, if someone takes the opportunity to maliciously acquire the company's shares and crack down on S.M, then S.M. will be completely passive and helpless.
"I know what you're worried about!"
Li Xiuman glanced at Kim Young-min with satisfaction, this person who succeeded him and sat as the president of S.M Company really has real materials. He took out his wallet, pulled out a check from it, and handed it to Kim Young-min.
"It's ?!!!" Jin Yingmin took the check, his eyes widened, he looked at Li Xiuman in surprise, and said in a deep voice: "You can't be crazy, right?" It can't be your own money, right? ”
Although Kim Young-min is also a person who has seen the world, his hand holding the check at the moment is trembling, but in Lee so-man's opinion, this is purely normal, anyone holding a check of 10 billion won, if he is not excited, then there can only be two kinds of people, the first is blind, and the second is the real rich.
When Li Xiuman heard Jin Yingmin's words, he laughed out loud and said: "How could I come up with 10 billion by myself, I'm not having a hot head, this is what I contacted the major directors and asked them to share it, but I also made a guarantee to ensure that the company can build a girl's generation, Yingmin, you and I are not light!" ”
Kim Yingmin smiled bitterly, 10 billion, to create another Girls' Generation, maybe 10 billion seems like a lot, but it really spends, whether it is enough or not, and in the end, it is still unknown whether it can really build a Girls' Generation, even if the current popular f(x) is built into the real pillar of the company, success or not cannot be guaranteed.
"Don't start doing it yet, you're already discouraged, although 10 billion is not a lot, but it's better than nothing, maybe the company will be a little difficult in the early stage, but as long as Girls' Generation, Superjunior, TVXQ they have been absorbing money, you can use their part of the money, anyway, they are in the middle of the year and at the end of the year to complete the economic benefits with the company, the window period, make good use of it, the harvest will be great!"
Li Xiuman's words surprised Kim Yingmin, although the company will settle their earnings with artists in the middle of the year and at the end of the year, usually their endorsements, record income, advertising revenue, TV series, MV, commercial performances, etc., are directly paid to the company's account by the other party, if it is not distributed to the artist according to the contract, this is definitely a lot of money, but if it is known by the artists under him, the consequences are also very serious.
"Isn't that a little inappropriate?" Kim Young-min asked with some concern.
"As long as we're doing well, it's not a problem at all!" Li Xiuman said confidently.
Perhaps it was Lee so-man's self-confidence that affected Kim Young-min, he also agreed with Lee so-man's opinion, and did what he said, immediately collected songs from major reading music studios, and helped F(X) to take over performances, take on various music performances, and invest a lot of money in publicity, so that F(X) can appear by the people's side at all times
"Teddy, how's it going?"
In the YG recording studio, Teddy was doing his last recording, and he couldn't help but stand up when he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"At present, Kara's songs have been fully recorded, and it is almost time to shoot the MV, and then it is the infusion of the CD, and today is the 18th, and I think that if I work overtime, I can complete most of it by the end of the month!"
Teddy looked a little haggard, and it could be seen that during this time, he had been working a lot longer than before in order to help Kara record songs.
"Well, I'm looking for a director to shoot the MV today.,Get everything ready.,Tomorrow Kara can no longer have a recording studio.,Go straight to shoot the MV.,Now JYP company looks like the main missa.,S.M company focuses on FF (X),CoreContentsMedia company is also holding the golden pimple of T-ara.,It seems that next month,It's the world of girl groups!"
Although listening to Yang Xianshuo's words, there was a feeling of "wolf smoke everywhere", but at this moment, his face was still smiling, looking at the five girls behind the vacuum glass, the smile on his face never disappeared.
"Ah, by the way, what has this kid been busy with lately? Someone who hasn't seen him in days! Yang Hyun-seok asked.
"Oh, Han Fei is writing songs for his new album, and the three songs that have been confirmed are "ican", "sparksfly", and "boyfriend", and this time he is going to get together 8 songs, I think he must be busy now, and he also helped Kara and T-Ara write songs a while ago, which delayed him a lot of time!" Teddy said with a smile.
"This kid is good, it's like a toothpaste, you can make a good song by squeezing it, as if you can't finish squeezing it, it's been more than a year since I signed him, and he has really surprised me more and more! This time, Kara's MV let him participate in the filming as well, this kid seems to be a lucky star, and a cameo appearance in T-ara's MV has raised the fame of "Rolypoly" by several notches, and it would be a waste not to let him participate in Kara's MV shooting! ”
Like Kim Kwang-so, Yang Hyun-seok is also full of confidence at the moment, in his opinion, June is definitely a month for the rise of Kara!
