"Everyone, please be quiet, the FNC press conference is about to begin"

As soon as the host's voice fell, the reporters, who were still whispering, also quieted down. Seeing this, the host began to introduce several people sitting on the stage to the reporters in the audience.

"This national actor Ha Ji Won," after introducing several other people in a few simple words, the host began to introduce Victor in a grand manner.

Mr. Victor Huntington is the Director of Marketing Operations at UTA Economics. Mr. Victor has been with UTA since its inception, where he has helped to become one of the top five brokerage firms in the United States. ”

With the host's explanation, everyone in the audience suddenly realized. But in an instant, he became confused again.

"How did the director of operations of UTA get involved with FNC?"

"Do you want to cooperate?"

"No way, how can a big American company take a fancy to FNC."

With the whispers of the reporters in the audience, the press conference officially began.

Holding a few documents, Han Shenghao tidied up his clothes, walked to the press table, cleared his throat and said into the microphone: "I invite everyone to come today, there are a few things that I want to announce to the outside world." Although it can be hung directly on the company's official website, in order for the company to no longer be surrounded by everyone, it is better to hold a press conference. “

"Haha"

Han Shenghao's words. Some time before letting the audience sit down, the reporters who had been in the FNC company laughed out loud embarrassedly.

"There are four things we want to announce to the outside world, the first thing is that my country's famous actress Ha Ji Won xi has officially joined the FNC company."

As soon as Han Shenghao finished speaking, the reporters in the audience looked at Han Shenghao with an expression of 'I already knew'.

"The second thing, the American company UTA company and the FNC company. Reach a strategic partnership. ”

There is no mention of UTA becoming the majority shareholder of FNC. It is because at this stage, Han Shenghao and Victor do not want to attract too much attention from other companies and cause unnecessary trouble.

"The third thing is that Ha Ji Won Xi has become an artist under UTA at the same time. He is about to participate in the filming of a new film from UTA. ”

"The fourth thing. FTIsland and CNBlue. We also successfully signed a contract with UTA. And UTA's famous musicians will help the two bands produce an English-language album to be released in the United States next year. ”

"What I want to announce to you has been announced. Next, I would like to invite you to ask questions. ”

As soon as Han Shenghao finished speaking, he sat back in his place. Until he sat down completely, the hand hidden under the table shook uncontrollably with nervousness.

Unlike the calm appearance just now, the next thing is the time to really meet the opponent.

Although there are reporters who have a good relationship with FNC, that doesn't mean they won't ask spicy questions.

"Oh my God!"

"Is this true?"

Han Shenghao's words were like a bowl of hot water in hot oil, and the entire scene of the press conference instantly became boiling.

After all, FNC, as a small and medium-sized brokerage company, can be favored by UTA brokerage company, which is the first of the five major brokerage companies in the United States, which has to attract the attention of others.

In South Korea, as long as an actor can appear in an American movie, even if he has few roles and can't even be called a supporting role, he can become a country of Asian stars. For a medium-sized company like FNC, which has only been established in Korea for a few years, to be able to cooperate with a top brokerage company like UTA is enough to be called a big news that can attract the attention of the Korean public.

Before they had time to ask questions, the reporters present hurriedly used text messages to convey the news to their newspapers about what Han Shenghao had just announced. After all, at this time, the competition is the transmission speed of the message.

According to the general press conference process, after the organizer announces the news, the reporters will speak independently. But at the moment, the reporters here only cared about texting, and had no idea of looking up. So the host had to take the initiative to ask, "Which reporter needs to ask questions?" “

"Me!" Before anyone else could react, a female reporter quickly got up from her seat. The host came over and handed her the microphone, and the other reporters on the side suddenly had itchy teeth.

"Han Shenghaoxi, hello. I'm a reporter from JoongAng Daily, how do you cooperate with FNC and UTA? After a pause, the female reporter continued: "Or to put it this way, who dominates the process of cooperation between the two companies?" ”

Sure enough, women are not easy to mess with, and I had already thought that reporters would ask spicy questions, but Han Shenghao didn't expect the first question to be so spicy.

"From the beginning of the negotiations between the two companies, the cooperation method was already decided. FNC's artists, after the company's comprehensive assessment and meet the standards for entering the American entertainment industry, will sign a contract with UTA agency. Since then, FNC has dominated the artist's domestic development plan in Korea. Similarly, the development in foreign countries is led by UTA. When answering reporters' questions, Han Shenghao's nervousness was relieved little by little.

"Hello Victorxi. I am a reporter for MBC TV, what is the reason why UTA chose Korea? As soon as the reporter from the "Central Daily" sat down, another reporter quickly stood up.

After Cho Jae-sik translated the reporter's words to Victor, Victor thought for a while, then picked up the microphone and said, "Naturally, it's because of Miss Ha Ji Won, such an actor who deserves our attention." ”

After listening to Cho Jae-sik's translation of Korean, Mr. Reporter was not satisfied, and hurriedly asked, "In this case, why don't you cooperate directly with Ha Ji Wonxi, but with FNC company?" ”

"When I was in contact with Miss Ha Ji Won, I heard a song called 'blindlove' at a coffee shop. Although I didn't understand what to sing at first, the more I listened to it, the more I liked it. It was only after Miss Ha Ji Won's explanation that I started to pay attention to this band called CNBlue. It is precisely for this reason that the decision to cooperate was made after evaluating the FNC company. Victor glanced at Han Shenghao with a smile and continued: "It is precisely because of the potential of the artists and trainees under the FNC company that we will cooperate with the FNC company. ”

"Ha Ji Won xi, may I ask if your choice to join FNC is related to UTA?"

Smiling at the reporter, Ha Ji Won said quite politely: "There is also a certain relationship, although I have the idea of developing to the United States, but I have no way to give up the domestic cause." Therefore, after choosing to cooperate with FNC with Victorxi, he directly joined FNC. “

Ha Ji Won's words are like firewood, making the already boiling water even more boiling.

As the press conference progressed, the reporters mainly aimed their firepower at Victor, Han Seung-ho, and Ha Ji-won, while Lee Hong-gi and Jung Yong-ho only sat on one side of the rostrum as foils.

Just as the press conference was about to end, and Lee Hong-gi and Jung Yong-wha felt that they were going to be the background, a reporter from "Seoul Sports" threw the question at the two.

"Lee Hong-gi xi and Jung Yong-hwa xi, how sure are you that the English-language album to be released in the United States next year will be well received by the public?"

The sharp question was suddenly thrown at the two, making the two young people who had not debuted for a long time stunned. But fortunately, Li Hongji debuted earlier than Zheng Yonghe, and he experienced more things, and he reacted after a while.

"For the English album we are planning, our two bands are very optimistic." Li Hongji, who is like an old fritter, also made the reporters unable to grasp the weakness when he said it.

"Even though I'm just coming back with a new song, my team and I are really looking forward to recording an album in English." Under the leadership of his predecessor Li Hongji, Zheng Ronghe also played a good soy sauce.

"So you mean that the next English album will definitely be popular with the public, right?" The reporter of "Seoul Sports" was a little anxious when he saw that he couldn't say anything from the mouths of the two people.

At this end, Cho Jae-sik also translated the reporter's words to Victor, only to see Victor looking at the reporter who was chasing after him with some dissatisfaction, picked up the microphone on the table and said, "That's natural." ”

Seeing that Victor had been relieved, the two young men immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes were full of gratitude when they looked at Victor.

"I've listened to the songs of two bands and I feel that these two bands really have potential. After thinking about it, it was decided to let UTA, which used to be Ricky? Martin, Rihanna, Britney, Avril Lavigne and other singers who wrote and recorded songs by famous American music producers, Scott? Spock and his team, TheMatrix, produce a new album for FTIsland.

CNBlue, on the other hand, was recorded by Wright, a music producer who once became popular with superstars such as the Jonas Brothers, Britney, and Backstreet Boys.

And before the recording, there will be a special musician, and the two bands will be trained in a fully enclosed way for up to a month and a half. So, stay tuned for the new albums of both bands! “

With Cho Jae-sik's translation, the entire conference hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling to the ground. Looking at the quiet appearance of the reporters, Li Hongji and Zheng Yonghe saw burning hope in each other's eyes. (To be continued......)
