Chapter 146: Negligence

On the first day of 2005, it was running at full power, and the original agreement with MF had expired, and now the NRG is finally returning to the music world.

The media had already learned the news before, and if the NRG was still the same NRG before, maybe their release of the seventh series would not have attracted much attention at all.

After all, there are talents from all generations, and a generation of new people replace the old, not to mention that in such a fast-changing circle in the Korean song industry, those distant ancestors in the era of the rise of the Korean Wave, the dissolution of disbandment, the transformation of transformation, there are not many left at all, count carefully, and only myths and G can be called the first line.

Nowadays, the Korean song industry is the world of emerging forces, and TVXQ is the king.

But since the release of these four songs on the Internet by NRG last year, which caused a huge sensation in the Korean music industry, people are now full of expectations for the well-crafted seventh album of NRG.

The name of the genius composer on Lee Jun-hee's head has been recognized by countless industry insiders, and Cheon Myung-hoon's previous creation in the fifth series of the NRG was also a hit, and now the merger of the two composers will bring fans what kind of surprises it will bring, people are looking forward to it.

Before that, the NRG company had already started to go all out, coupled with the media's encouragement. Now people's expectations for the new album of NRG are very high, and they all want to see it, after Lee Jun-hee created a miracle in the music industry in 2004. What kind of surprises will it bring?

Now that the preparations for the seventh series of the NRG are all ready, everyone in the NRG can be said to have exhausted their efforts for this return album.

From recording, shooting MVs, to post-production promotional photos and peripheral products, NRG will be ready for everything. Just waiting for the album to be released.

But at this time, the problem arose. And it's a fatal problem.

It's not that some other forces don't want to see the rise and suddenly make trouble, but their own negligence.

"I'm damned!"

In the conference room, Li Chengzhen grabbed his hair with a painful face: "It's all my fault." It's all my fault, I thought I thought I had thought of everything, but I forgot the most critical question, what should I do now? It's all my fault! It's me who hurt NRG, it's me who hurt the company! ”

Looking at Li Chengzhen, who was still blaming himself, Li Junxi sighed and said, "Brother Chengzhen! What's the use of saying this now, no one blames you, you have done so many things during this time. We all see that there is a problem now, and the most important thing is to find a way to solve it. Not to blame yourself here! ”

Li Chengzhen raised his head, he was still in good spirits yesterday, but today he looked unspeakably tired: "Junxi! Are you ~~~ any way? ”

Other members of the NRG, as well as some of the company's executives, have their eyes on Lee Jun-hee.

Lee Jun-hee is now their backbone, and everyone knows that Lee Sung-jin is the president. is in charge of the company's daily affairs, but it is Lee Jun-hee who really makes the idea. It's not because Lee Jun Hee has the most shares, but because NRG has been able to come up with a rebirth from the ashes, and every step he has taken has been planned by Lee Jun Hee, and now that there is a problem, people instinctively expect Lee Jun Hee to come up with a solution and lead the company through this difficulty.

Li Junxi is also having a headache now, if he wants to talk about a way, what can he do, other problems can be solved, but now what is collectively ignored by everyone is the most fatal point.

The albums have been produced and are ready to be released to the market, but at this time, they found that there was no distribution channel at all!

Distribution Channels!

This is the most important thing, there is no distribution channel, that is, no matter how good the music of the NRG is, people can't buy it or hear it.

In the Korean music industry, major brokerage companies have their own distribution channels, through which the works of the company's artists are sold to all corners of South Korea and even overseas markets.

This kind of channel is not available, and you can't let the people in the company go to sell along the street like a hawker.

Li Junxi pondered for a while and said, "Although we don't have a distribution channel, other companies do, Brother Chengzhen!" You can contact those companies now and ask them if they can lend us the distribution channel, and we can give away some of the profits! ”

Leasing distribution channels is not uncommon in South Korea, after all, the Korean market is so large and the distribution channels are very limited, and not every brokerage company has them.

When the first six albums were released by NRG, MF agencies also did not have distribution channels, so they could only rent S.M, and even the production of physical albums had to be completed by S.M.

Of course, this comes at a price, and Lee Jun-hee is also ready to be slaughtered by S.M.

The reason why it is said to be S.M is because according to Lee Jun-hee's idea, the most ideal partner is S.M, S.M has developed for so many years, and its status in the Korean music industry can be called a hegemon, and the software and hardware facilities in all aspects are also the most perfect.

Lee Jun-hee was thinking about cooperating with S.M, and Lee so-man, the director of S.M's agency, had actually been waiting for a long time.

NRG is going to release a new album, how could Lee so-man, the leading boss in the Korean music industry, not know that he has already received the news.

Although the quality of NRG's new album is still unknown, since Lee Jun-hee can create the four songs that have become popular on the Internet before, it is worth looking forward to this new album.

Although NRG will become a competitor to TVXQ, a boy group under S.M, once it re-emerges, Li Xiuman will never refuse businessmen who seek profit and have benefits.

Li Xiuman is now waiting for the NRG people to come to the door, and then fortunately he gets a part of the benefits, the reason why he is so sure is because S.M has the most complete sales channels of major brokerage companies in the Korean music industry, which is not available to DSP and JYP, which is why for so many years, S.M brokerage companies have been able to suppress those opponents The key reason.

As Li Xiuman expected, when NRG was worried about the sales channel, the first thing that came to mind was S.M, and when he heard a call from the front desk, the president Li Chengzhen arrived, Li Xiuman smiled disdainfully, and deliberately let Li Chengzhen wait in the hall on the first floor for nearly an hour before notifying people and letting him in.

Li Chengzhen is anxious now, the preliminary work is ready, and now he is short of the sales channel, and when he was just waiting downstairs, he also thought about leaving directly, going to JYP, or DSP cooperation, but when he thought of S.M's sales channels all over the country, he could only endure it.

is stronger than others, and now that he has asked for the door of other people's homes, even if he suffers some grievances, he can only endure it.

At this moment, Li Chengzhen is sitting in front of Li Xiuman, in the past, this middle-aged man, he could only look up to the mountains, but now although he is sitting face to face, it seems to be equal, but in fact, he is still at a disadvantage, because S.M is the overlord of the Korean song industry, and it is just a small company that has just been established for less than half a year.

Li Xiuman naturally didn't take Li Chengzhen in his eyes, but after all, he has been in a high position for many years, and he has cultivated to the home, since Li Chengzhen came in, Li Xiuman's face has always had a warm smile.

"It's come true! Speaking of which, we've known each other for many years! ”

When NRG debuted, S.M company was established a few years ago, at that time, although Li Xiuman was the president of the company, but whenever HOT participated in the show, he followed the president from time to time, and naturally he also came into contact with NRG, at that time, NRG was full of awe of Li Xiuman, and it is the same now.

Although Lee so-man has to hand over the position of president and serve as the company's music director because of a lawsuit with fake accounts, in fact, the power of S.M Company is still in his hands, and as for the president Kim Young-min elected by the board of directors, it is just in name only.

Hearing Li Xiuman say this, Li Chengzhen hurriedly got up and bowed: "For so many years, it has always been thanks to President Li Xiuman's care!" ”

Li Xiuman waved his hand: "Don't say that, now I'm not the president, but you, come true!" It's hard to be the president of a company! ”

Li Chengzhen patiently talked with Li Xiuman for a while, and finally couldn't help it and said the purpose of the trip.

Li Xiuman smiled: "Actually, why are you so bothered, when I heard that you terminated the contract with MF, I thought about signing you to S.M, but unfortunately, you rejected my kindness." ”

When Li Chengzhen heard this, he couldn't help but cry bitterly, he knew that if he wanted to achieve the goal of this trip, he was afraid that it would not be so easy! (To be continued)
