Chapter 210: Li Xiuman's Calculations
Walking into the S.M high-rise restaurant, looking at Li Xiuman, who was chatting with Yu Yongzhen inside, Li Shengxian felt a little surprised. It seems that this 'tyrant' director seems to be also very close to the people, and often comes to the canteen to eat?
'Sage, how is our company's canteen compared to JYP's canteen?' β
Lee so-man, who asked this sentence with a smile, knew very well that Lee Sung-hyun's relationship with Park Jin-young was far better than his relationship with Lee Sung-hyun. This makes Li Xiuman sometimes feel that the 'gorilla' luck is indeed quite good!
I didn't pay much attention to it, but I was in a private room when I dined at JYP. However, if you really want to talk about comparison, your cafeteria is bigger than JYP, and there are more people eating and eating than them. Otherwise, I really didn't pay attention. β
Big place, lots of people! Is that an advantage?
Of course! The heritage and longevity of a brokerage company depend more on the company's trainee reserves. The more high-quality trainee resources there are, the greater the potential of this company.
This is also the reason why the major entertainment agencies in South Korea attach so much importance to the reserve of trainees. Trainees are sometimes about the future of an entertainment company. And S.M also attaches great importance to the reserve of trainees.
As for why Li Xiuman asked such a question, Li Shengxian didn't think too much about it. At least he knows one thing, several major entertainment companies privately want to say that there is no competition, but I am afraid that no one will believe it.
The reason why South Korea attaches so much importance to the promotion of Hallyu artists is, in the final analysis, that the Korean market is not large. Some top artists can only usher in new development when they go out of South Korea. Nesting in the pool of South Korea will not become a big climate in the end!
At present, S.M is indeed better than several other entertainment companies in promoting Hallyu idol. Here's why. The reason why others think that S.M is the strongest.
But in Li Shengxian's opinion, does this have anything to do with him?
At the dinner table, Li Xiuman also mentioned about the release of an album by Girls' Generation. Li Shengxian also said seriously: "Uncle Man, Teacher Yu told me about this. If there is a good work. I will give priority to working with you. β
This answer made Li Xiuman very satisfied.
As far as he is concerned, after the previous incident, the people behind Lee Sung-hyun are a little dissatisfied with him and even S.M Company. He needed a collaboration to dispel any misconceptions about him and S.M.
'Yes, sage! I haven't congratulated you yet, the first episode of the variety show that served as the chief PD has more than 20 ratings, which is the rating of a hit variety show. It seems that this family was born. It can become SBS's ace variety show again. β
It's only been two episodes, and that's the weight of one episode. Isn't it a bit early to say congratulations now? However, if Uncle Man doesn't think that our variety show is new, then I will ask Zhao PD to send invitations to your company's artists, how about it? β
Hear the meaning and know the friend!
For an old fox like Li Xiuman, Li Shengxian didn't deal with it many times, but he knew that he suddenly mentioned variety shows, and he didn't think it would be for no reason. And the family gave birth to this variety show. It is undoubtedly also a good platform to increase the appearance rate.
Of course, that's fine, it's too late for us to welcome it. It's just that I heard that your show still lacks a regular guest. Do you think there is anyone in my company who is suitable? β
I thought it was Li Xiuman before. It is to let its artists be on the show. Now after Li Shengxian heard this, he understood that this old fox was actually the idea of a fixed guest. It's a pity. It's late!
It seems that Uncle Man is very well-informed! Indeed, in the early days of program planning. It was intended to be equipped with one main and seven vices and eight fixed MCs. It's just about the last fixed candidate, which has already been determined. So. οΌοΌβ
Li Shengxian deliberately didn't say the latter words, but he also hoped that Li Xiuman would understand. Don't play the idea of regular guests! There's no S.M's share in this!
'Oh! It seems that many people have taken a fancy to this regular guest. Can you tell me who the candidate is? β
Seeing that Li Xiuman seemed to be very curious, Li Shengxian thought for a while and said, "Of course this is okay, but this matter has not been made public for the time being." He joined the regular guests, but I was afraid that he would have to wait for a while. Because he needs to take a break? β
Need to take a break?
Don't talk about Li Xiuman, even Yu Yongzhen is curious. What kind of artist, with such a big shelf?
Seeing that the two didn't speak, Li Shengxian continued: "This regular guest candidate is Kim Jong Kook, who just retired from the army some time ago. MC Liu's initiative was also recognized by SBS. Of course, more than that, I promised him! β
The meaning of these words, in addition to telling sΓΉ Li Xiuman not to play the main accident of the fixed MC, also vaguely points out his right to speak in this variety show. The chief planner of a hit variety show, that entertainment company has to give a little face!
'Kim Jong Kook, with his popularity, he shouldn't need to appear in a variety show MC, right? He's a triple crown! β
As a music producer, Yu Yongzhen naturally knows how famous Kim Jong Kook is in the music world. A triple crown champion ran to be a variety show MC, isn't that a joke?
Regarding Yu Yongzhen's words, Li Shengxian said very directly: "He is indeed the triple crown champion, but in the more than two years of publicity gap, how many people still remember him as the triple crown?" β
As soon as these words came out, Yu Yongzhen was stunned, and seemed to realize that Kim Jong Kook after retiring from the army had lost his popularity as he used to be. In the Korean entertainment industry, artists who have disappeared for two years really need to work hard to regain their popularity.
'There is a give-and-take!' This Kim Jong Kook is indeed lucky. β
Li Xiuman, who suddenly said such a sentence, believed that Li Shengxian could understand what he meant. Perhaps in Yu Yongzhen's view, Kim Jong Kook has the best share of the fixed MC in a new variety show. But in fact, it is the wisest choice!
After a lunch, Li Shengxian didn't stop long and left S.M Company directly. And Lee so-man followed Yu Yong-jin to the recording studio to listen to the previous recording of Lee Sung-hyun and Kim Tae-yeon.
After listening to this, he said in surprise: "This young man is so unexpected every time. If he is diligent, his fame in the Korean entertainment industry will be even greater than now. It's a pity! β
Li Xiuman, who is good at mining and packaging idols, made such an evaluation of Lee Sung-hyun as an artist director, which naturally shows Lee Sung-hyun's star potential. It's a pity that Li Shengxian's personality is quiet and not noisy!
Such a character is destined for him to work more behind the scenes. Of course, this will be a pity for Li Xiuman, who loves talents. After all, a talent like Li Shengxian will definitely be on fire if he is packaged.
If he wasn't in this character, how would he be where he is now? How many young people can have his indifference to honor? I think this kind of character is actually better for him! β
Compared with Li Xiuman's pity, Yu Yongzhen felt that Li Shengxian's indifferent and vain character was rare. Today's young people, how many of them can be as indifferent as Li Shengxian in the face of fame?
'Extraordinary people must have something extraordinary', there is some truth in this saying! (To be continued......)
