Chapter 683: Mobile Phone Advertising
Taeyeon's worries are not unreasonable, and when it comes to TVXQ, it naturally reminds Kim Do-joon of Kim Jun-so.
I've only heard it before, and I'm not very familiar with it, but after Taeyeon and his scandal, Kim Do-joon specially found a lot of information to find out what kind of person this person is.
The three words Kim Jun-so, like a gilded business card, are deeply engraved in Kim Do-joon's mind, and he can't erase them even if he wants to.
Although the matter has passed now, in his way of thinking, it is very difficult to forget a thing, unless it is really because of time that he can't remember it, or even if it is five or ten years, he will forget it.
Just like now, many people have forgotten the things they did when they were young, but for Kim Do-joon, he remembers the things when he was a child so deep that he can't forget them at all.
Turning back to the topic, although she only made a cameo in the advertisement and was not the main character, she was still a little worried.
And this advertisement has been officially broadcast as early as May 8.
The first man who had an affair with Taeyeon, you can guess with your ass that Kim Do-joon's impression of him can be so good.
Now, although he is not angry, it is almost impossible to give a good face.
When Kim Dojun listened, his originally closed mouth slowly opened, looking thoughtful.
In fact, as soon as Taeyeon had an affair, Kim Do-joon had already asked people to investigate the background information of all the members of TVXQ.
A very interesting thing happened, TVXQ in 08 was still strong, sweeping Japan and South Korea. But at home. Still facing sniping from BIGBANG. The popularity is also gradually rushing.
It's not as exaggerated as the 800,000 fairy queens, but it's still not to be underestimated.
In addition, TVXQ has been pressed by S.M Company in Japan, and he can't go back if he wants to, and he was ordered to force him to make money in Japan, so there are also quite complaints among the members.
If it is changed to an ordinary company, then it is no problem, the key is that the S.M company is too black-hearted, and the slave contract is not to be said. The contract for the debut newcomer alone was signed for 13 years.
Through Kim so-young, Kim Do-joon already knows about these materials, and he is the agent of the former S.M company, so he still understands these things very clearly.
Since their debut in 2004, TVXQ members have only been able to return to China, Japan, South Korea, and three countries every year according to the company's arrangement.
During the year, except for a fixed holiday of one week, only 3 to 4 hours of rest are allowed every day. The rest of the time, I'm either rushing to the schedule or practicing. Either that, or just participate in the show.
Therefore, the physical condition of the five members is not very good, there are health problems, and there are also things that have happened to the hospital, and they are very tired.
It's not so much an artist as a tool for companies to make money.
Kim so-young told Kim Do-joon that TVXQ's contract is the most demanding in S.M, and Girls' Generation is much better in comparison.
The 5 members are all 13-year exclusive contracts, generally more than 10 years, are called lifelong contracts, according to the content of the contract, not including 2 years of military service, so to be precise, it should be 15 years.
In fact, this includes the entire time of an idol artist's acting career, which lasts until the end.
And in order to prevent such a thing as a myth, as early as the debut, a big trap was set, and if you propose to terminate the contract, you will face a huge liquidated damages equivalent to three times the total investment and twice the daily income.
That is, if anyone wants to leave TVXQ, they have to pay hundreds of billions of liquidated damages before they can leave safely, just like the original myth, Eric alone took out most of the funds to redeem himself for the myth.
If the members of TVXQ have family conditions like this, they can also choose to do so.
Only in this way will it not arouse the hostility of the S.M company, after all, it is to pay for it, and it has not torn its face with the company, although it has not been renewed, but after all, it has earned a lot of profits for the S.M company.
As for the other method, you can only file a lawsuit with the court and declare the contract signed between yourself and S.M Company invalid, because the terms of this are almost unacceptable.
To give a simple example, when a singer signs a contract, there is generally a signing fee, which is the so-called signing fee, as long as he signs his name on the contract, he will have a sum of money to take, which is what they deserve, just like Lee Hyori, of course, the treatment is different in various countries, but this is tradition, even in the football world.
There is also a clear rule from S.M that only TVXQ's album sales reach more than 500,000 copies, and each person can get 10 million won when the album is released next time, and if the sales are less than 500,000 copies, then I'm sorry, I won't receive a penny at all.
However, S.M has already revised this clause, according to the latest instructions, even if the revised clause is completed, it is very small for TVXQ's five sons, they can only get less than 1% of the album sales, and then the five people will divide it equally, you can imagine how bad this condition is.
Since S.M likes to launch a combination of a large number of people, from HOT, to SES to mythology, TVXQ, Superjunior, Girls' Generation, etc., these people are numerous, the packaging degree is large, and the cost is very high, once they debut, they have to work a lot of work to earn back the cost for the company.
Kim so Young Highway, Kim Do-joon, TVXQ and Superjunior are all trainees of the same period, but TVXQ debuted earlier.
There were a total of 30 trainees in the early batch, but in fact, only 18 became famous, and more trainees chose to give up.
The company wants to earn back the cost of more than 30 people on these 18 people, so although they are very glorious on the stage, they can't actually make money personally.
It costs 50 million won, or nearly $50,000, to train a trainee from head to toe, but once the debut is confirmed, this number will increase exponentially, and the cost of makeup, costumes, styling, dance training, vocal training, and even acting training, and some dissatisfaction may require a plastic surgery gift, so the cost of the company is far beyond personal imagination.
However, there is no free lunch in the world, so most of the money earned by Korean artists is owned by the company, and the artist has to be exploited by the company to which he belongs.
In this world, not all people are Choi Siwon, Kang Dongwon, Yoo Si Won, Kim Do-joon, and many people are born in ordinary families.
Through the information, Kim Do-jun learned that the most popular group of S.M company HOT sold an album, and each person could only get 20 won, that is, one dime and six dimes, and then deducted royalties and official taxes, and finally only 7 won was left, that is, five cents of RMB, what is the fact, this is the truth.
As early as when the scandal between Taeyeon and Kim Jun-so first appeared, Kim Do-joon sent Kim so young to understand the bottom line of several people, and they were all ordinary.
However, I found a very interesting thing, TVXQ five people, it seems that there is a lot of internal division, a group led by the captain Yun Hao and the strongest Changmin, inclined to the S.M company, the goal is to become the same character as An Qixuan and Boa, and has been staying in the S.M company, in exchange for seniority.
As for the other three, Kim Jun-so, Kim Jae-joong, and Mi Qi Youtian are in a group, and they belong to the same group, and there is no more than a small conflict with the company, and they seem to be very dissatisfied with the itinerary and the current income distribution.
Moreover, there is a grapevine that at present, a Chinese cosmetics company has contacted Kim Junxiu and the three people alone, hoping that they can invest and carry out indirect publicity as a representative director, but it is still just a symptom, and everyone's focus is still on the Japanese tour.
Kim Do-joon has already given Kim so Young an order to collect some information about TVXQ, and everything is okay only if it is beneficial to him.
And this has now become the focus of Kim Do-joon's attention.
Suddenly an idea popped into my head.
"Will TVXQ announce its dissolution one day, like hot?"
If the activity is stopped, it will definitely be cheaper for someone else, or another company, and it is better for CJES to inherit it.
Anyway, there is not a single artist in the company, and they are all mainly in the security business, and they just took this opportunity to officially announce their entry into the entertainment market.
With the strength of TVXQ members, coupled with their own ability, financial strength, and connections, they will definitely break out for them.
Although he had this idea, Kim Do-joon didn't say it, but just secretly hid it in his heart.
As long as S.M. doesn't offend Kim Do-joon, it's not too embarrassing to do such a thing, after all, Taeyeon is still there, he doesn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, and his girlfriend is still in the company, if he does this, if it is exposed one day, the little guy's shoulders will not be able to bear much pressure.
Even if she asks her to come to CJES, is Taeyeon willing to give up everything and give up her feelings for so many years as a girl?
No one knows what the future holds, but with Kim Do-joon's understanding of Taeyeon, she will definitely give up everything for the sake of the four words of girlhood, whether it is feelings or friendship, it is the same.
The two of them chatted for a while, then hung up the phone, he was going to take a bath, he was ruined, came to the table, opened the notebook, the previous one was broken by him, and this one was bought again later.
I turned on my computer and searched for news about Girls' Generation and TVXQ shooting mobile phone commercials for the first time. (To be continued......)
