Chapter 343: The Draft

After the recording of "Love Letter" was completed, Lee Chung-hee did not have a very formal job in the remaining three days, that is, there was no work on the schedule, so it can be said that he had complete freedom.

Of course, if it were other artists, they would be much more idle, but Lee Chung-hee is still a little busy because of his huge industry, and even said that the artist's work only accounts for half of his life.

This is also the reason why there are Lee Wen-hee and others in North America and Zhang Dongguo and others in South Korea to manage the company.

After recording "Love Letter" in the early morning, he took a morning off, and in the afternoon, Lee Chung-hee went to Imperial Entertainment Company, and he basically sorted out the things that should be talked about with Zhang Dongguo and the things he should know about the company a few days ago.

Since the end of the last century, S*M Entertainment has started draft activities since hot and other groups became popular, and there are three fixed ones, including one in February and March during the winter vacation, one in June and July in the summer, and one in September and October after the start of school.

The names are all different, one of them belongs to professional singing, another is a professional performance, and the last one is comprehensive, because S*M Entertainment basically focuses on the music industry, so the professional singing competition is also the most focused on S*M Entertainment.

But Imperial Entertainment is different, because Imperial Entertainment is a truly comprehensive entertainment company, and, unlike many star brokerage companies, whether it is movies, television, music, or funny public welfare programs, they all have their own production platforms, and they don't have to rely on going outside to get film appointments and the like.

As for the broadcast platform and advertising endorsements, do you need to talk about this? There's the big sign of Imperial Entertainment there. It represents the best broadcast platform. Public relations strategy, business interests, therefore, the draft event that began this year has attracted countless Korean people to participate in the draft.

Imperial Entertainment doesn't just have a draft event in South Korea, it's global in nature, twice a year, once from June to July. Once from December to January of the New Year.

Of course, this temporary global nature is only going on in South Korea and the United States, and then it will slowly spread to the United Kingdom, China and other places, but that will be a few years away.

And the drafts in the United States and South Korea are different, and on the Korean side, at the beginning it is a comprehensive nature, and people who feel that they are talented in some way. You can all come and participate, then. The company will focus on training according to the ability of acting, singing, funny hosting and other aspects, of course, comprehensive elements need training, but there is just a focus.

The United States also has such a comprehensive nature, but there is no talk show host, only acting and singing skills, and in terms of singing skills, those under the age of 16 are accepted by the Korean Imperial Entertainment, and those over the age of 16 are received by the North American Imperial Music.

The reason for this is because Imperial Music is working with Fox TV to produce "American Idol", "American Idol" comes from a British reality show "Pop Idol" in O1, but now this show is long gone, because the copyright has long been won by Lee Chung-hee.

Since the establishment of Imperial Music last year, there are too few artists under it, and Lee Chung-hee has been planning this matter, and in the end, Fox TV has a vision and atmosphere, perhaps saying that this was originally a program that was bought by Fox with the copyright, and the other party will naturally be more fond of it.

Therefore, from the beginning of this year, the preparations have been basically completed, and the auditions will officially begin in July and August, of course, if it is broadcast live on TV, it will be a long process until January next year, and the finals will be at the end of May.

Either way, this is a big project for Imperial Music to reserve musical talent for itself.

The entertainment industry in North America and South Korea are separated, and they have not been merged because the cultures of the two countries are completely different, and because Lee Chung-hee, the real big boss, has always been in control.

Of course, even if Lee Chung-hee is not responsible in the future, it will not be merged, it is still a matter of culture, but there will be cooperation, such as this draft in the United States, that is, people from this side go over there, and then people from there help deal with some social relations and so on.

Such an outcome is the most appropriate in Lee Chung-hee's opinion, at least for now.

It started in June, but the publicity PR started at the beginning of the year, and at the end of May, the registration for 66 renewals began, and at the beginning of June, the initial interviews began.

With the talents of S*M Entertainment Company, coupled with the accumulation of Imperial Entertainment itself, now, this work is being carried out in an orderly manner, and Lee Chung-hee does not have much to pay attention to.

The reason why he came was to see if there were any names in his mind, and if those good seedlings saw them, he would take them down, so as not to rob them for others, and if they wanted to snatch them back in the future, the cost would be much greater.

For example, Jang Dong-jian, Cha Tae-hyun, Song Yoon-a and others all had contracts that arrived this year, and it was easy to pass to Imperial Entertainment, but Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Ha-na's contract, because there are still some days, if you want to terminate the contract, you have to pay a price.

If it's someone else, forget it, Kim Ha Na and Lee Chung-hee are very familiar, she doesn't want to stay in the original company anymore, Lee Chung-hee pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and she can't refuse, so 500 million won will be obtained.

He can't always use his power to suppress people, which will make others disgusted, but fortunately, 500 million won is not much, and for an actress like Kim Ha Na, it is still worth it.

"Why, no one accompanies you, it's boring!" Jang Dong-guk watched Lee Chung-hee approach his office, deliberately looked outside, and laughed.

"I will have no one to accompany me," Lee Chung-hee sat on his table with a smile and teased: "It's you, my sister-in-law has just given birth to a child, and I'm so hungry and thirsty!" ”

"You're really getting more and more out of place," Zhang Dongguo said angrily as he stretched out his foot to kick him off the table.

Zhang Xizhen gave birth to a child for less than half a month, it was born prematurely, originally, Li Zhengxi should have been able to come back this time, and there was naturally no way to give birth prematurely, of course, this is not very important, Zhang Dongguo is just a father.

Zhang Xizhen has just given birth to a child, and Imperial Entertainment is busy now, Zhang Dongguo is naturally busy, although now with an assistant and a secretary, there are three people to help him, but he is a sincere character, and many things will be seen by himself to rest assured, this matter, how many times Li Zhengxi told him is useless.

This may be the characteristic of Koreans, and it is also because of this that Koreans have many family businesses, they believe in themselves more and are more willing to endure hardships and stand hard work.

chatted casually with Zhang Dongguo for a while, and the two of them went out of the office together to see the situation of the draft in various companies, although movies, television, and now including music are all operated by the following companies, but they are all in the same building, and they don't need to run more errands.

In addition to film, television, music, and now comedy artists and hosts, the company is also organizing a new department, and in the future, Lee Chung-hee will develop this department into a company, and it is also very important to master the hosts of those variety shows in the Korean TV industry.

"Boss,"

Just arrived at the door of the film company, Han Yise and her agent happened to come out of it, she greeted Lee Chung-hee first, smiled, and said: "You said last time you invited me to dinner in Los Angeles, but I waited at home for several days, now, how should you compensate me?"

Han Yise is a native of Los Angeles, but she debuted in a modeling contest in South Korea, and has only joined the company for more than a year, she is very beautiful and tall, but her acting skills still need to be polished, but she is very naughty, probably because she was born in the United States.

She and Lee Chung-hee are really familiar with each other, first joined the company was Lee Chung-hee looking for her, and then, when she returned to the United States twice, she and Lee Chung-hee were both peers, and it was easy for lively people to get warm.

Lee Chung-hee is young and understands the hardships of artists, so he respects artists very much, and he doesn't have too many shelves, which is naturally very precious to them.

"Then why don't you call me, how do I know when you're going home," Lee Chung-hee also replied with a smile: "I also said that I have been waiting for you in the United States for half a year, and I have been in the United States for the longest time this year, including Christmas,"

After a meal, he also joked: "I'm here on Valentine's Day, I was single at that time!" ”

"Phew, who believes it!" Han Yise pouted her lips coquettishly, "Scarlett Johansson is no more, Jessica Alba is no more, Katy Perry, and Nicole Kidman, oh, Sister Madonna heard that she has been quite lonely late......ly." ”

"Okay, you won this time," for Han Yise, who doesn't treat him as his boss very much, Lee Chung-hee really doesn't have much to do with her, and she doesn't look like the docile and calm temperament of a Korean woman.

The film company was very busy, and after Lee Chung-hee and Han Ye-seol said goodbye, they entered inside, and a lot of people stayed there, some were negotiating contracts, some were auditioning, some were preparing props, some were writing scripts, and some were taking acting classes, and of course, some activities of the audition.

Because there are so many people participating in the draft, everyone has a lot of work, and even the company's employees can't be busy for the time being, so they have to let the artists who have just joined the company as temporary workers.

This is the usual practice in the Korean entertainment industry, when the juniors enter the company, some twist the bag and pour water for the seniors, some for the backup dancers, some for the assistants, etc., etc., in short, if the company has not arranged anything, or has not arranged a debut, just a trainee, then, life is very hard.

I have to do all kinds of things, and I have to study hard, but I eat poorly and sleep poorly.

Of course, this, there is no zĂ i in Imperial Entertainment, Imperial Entertainment has the best accommodation and eating conditions, according to the circle, the accommodation of trainees is comparable to the big names of general brokerage companies, and the diet is the best in South Korea, better than the diet of many high-end restaurants.

However, hard work is certain, you must study hard is also certain, this, is the company's purpose, to give you the best, but you have to work hard, if it is poor talent or other, hard work, the company can understand. (To be continued!)
