Chapter 466: The Thoughts of the Girls
As Lee Sung-hyun expected, TVXQ's termination of the contract was still fermenting, and SJ member Han Geng unilaterally filed an application to the court to terminate the contract. For a time, S.M was in a stormy time.
As the most well-known entertainment company in South Korea, S.M's energy in the entertainment industry is self-evident. But the problem is that S.M's traditional style of acting has made it a lot of enemies in the entertainment industry. Taking advantage of this trend, the termination incident is getting bigger and bigger.
Although S.M has done a lot of work to clarify the truth about the termination of the contract to the outside world. But more, it is natural to put the blame on Han Geng, saying that a third party wants to sign Han Geng, so he instigated Han Geng to make such an unwise decision.
Li Shengxian, who has been paying attention to the progress of the situation, saw that many entertainment media in China also reprinted the termination of the contract, and realized that the matter was only beyond the scope of S.M's ability, and the official did not mind, but was afraid that it would not work.
In order to ease the cultural exchanges between the two countries, because an artist or a termination event was affected. The Ministry of Cultural Industry of South Korea immediately summoned the two bigwigs of S.M Company and ordered them to eliminate the impact of the incident as soon as possible.
To add insult to injury, some informed media quickly revealed that S.M signed an overlord treaty with artists. The duplicate of the contract, whose name was hidden, began to go viral on the Internet, shocking the public.
In addition to the harsh sharing regulations, the number of years an artist has signed a contract has also reached an astonishing twelve years. Such a treaty has shocked many people. Even with this report, the whirlwind directly swept the entire entertainment industry.
The termination incident has not yet been resolved, and the truth of the 'Overlord Contract' has been revealed. Naturally, the stock price of S.M Company has also fallen again and again. For this situation. Lee Sung-hyun knew he was about to make a move.
After making a phone call to his aunt, Lee Sung-hyun quickly dialed Kim Tae-yeon's number. Directly: "Taeyeon, how many years has you signed a contract with S.M?" Others. You also ask. ”
'Oppa, I've been with the company for 12 years. The rest of the members are pretty much the same! What's wrong? ’
Hearing Kim Tae-yeon's answer, Lee Sung-hyun said very directly: "It's nothing, you discuss it with so-yeon, you think it's appropriate to sign the contract for a few years." Let me know then, and I'll take care of the contract for you this time. ”
Kim Tae-yeon, who said this, was shocked in her heart: "Oppa, isn't this good?" ”
In Kim Taeyeon's view, they can have today, and the company's cultivation is indispensable. In the case of the company facing internal and external troubles. They are also falling into the ground, which is inevitably a bit immoral. That's what I said!
Li Shengxian, who heard this, said helplessly: "Fool, now that you are the company's cash cow, they naturally attach importance to you." But can you guarantee that you will always be so popular in the future?
Twelve years, how old are you after twelve years? Idols have a limited professional lifespan, and if you are worthless, this contract will limit your future development. This thing. You can discuss it with them and give me a call then. ”
'Inside, I see, then I'll call you back later!' ’
Hung up the call from Lee Sung-hyun. Kim Taeyeon clapped her hands and said, "Children, come to the living room, there is something I need to discuss with you." I'd like to hear from you as well. Come along! ”
Greeted by Kim Tae-yeon, the eight girls quickly sat around the living room. Listened to Kim Tae-yeon's story. The expressions of the women were different. But more girls feel that if the contract can be resolved. It's a good thing for them.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Kim Taeyeon directly named: "Sika, what do you think should be done about this?" ”
Faced with Kim Tae-yeon's inquiry, Jung so-yeon thought for a while and said, "If the contract can be reduced by a few years, it will also be good for us." Oppa must have known that the timing was the right time to do this.
If you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to ask the company to change the contract next time. But we can't come forward in this matter, so we can only leave it to OPPA to deal with. Otherwise, we will be suppressed in the company. ”
'You mean, you agree to change the contract, don't you?' ’
From Jung so-yeon's words, Kim Tae-yeon heard that she was willing to change the contract. In the face of her inquiry, Zheng Xiuyan also nodded directly. As for the other girls, they were also a little moved.
After a while, Cui Xiuying also spoke: "Draw the team, I agree with Sika's opinion." Although the company has recently improved our travel treatment. But in terms of sharing, the company still hasn't changed anything.
Although at this time, it is somewhat bad to change the contract with the company. But you should know that we will eventually fall in love, get married, and start a family. There is a contract tied to it, but I am afraid that it will be restricted everywhere.
My opinion is that if I could change the contract, I would like to reduce it by a few years. At least, I don't want this contract to tie us up until we're thirty years old. Do you think that at the age of thirty, you are still tied to the company? ”
As Lee Sung-hyun said, people are selfish. When the effort is not proportional to the return, it is normal to have some unwilling thoughts. And Girls' Generation is undoubtedly at this stage.
Advertising endorsements, commercial performances and album sales have made Girls' Generation another cash cow for S.M after SJ. When they make a lot of money for the company, the company gives them little in return.
What's more, the share given by the company will be divided equally among the nine girls. Even if there will be some, it will be a separate personal revenue share. But in the eyes of these young girls, the income given to them by the company is far less than what they pay.
are all adult girls, and they have been working hard in the entertainment industry for almost three years. The attitude of thinking about problems is naturally different from when he first debuted. Even if they won't do anything like terminating the contract now, they won't dare to say anything if they continue.
As a lesson from the past, with TVXQ and SJ in front, it is normal for these girls to do something similar to unilateral termination in the future. After all, they also need to make money.
Entering the entertainment industry as an artist is their dream. But it is undeniable that they also hope to earn more money when they are young. Now that they are famous, but their income is pitiful, how can they be willing?
Cui Xiuying's words were quickly recognized by Kwon Yoo-ri and Huang Meiying and others. Even as Lee so-man's niece, Lee Soon-gyu also nodded in agreement. People are very realistic, and Lee Soon-gyu also hopes to make more money.
Joined S.M Company and joined Girls' Generation. Lee Soon-gyu rarely bothered the stern uncle, and the money and honor she received now had nothing to do with that uncle.
Seeing that all the women agreed to change the contract, I also hope that the revenue sharing will be improved. Although Kim Taeyeon thinks this is not good, she knows that the requirements of these teammates are actually not excessive.
And what she has to do is to tell Li Shengxian this request. Then Li Shengxian went to negotiate with the company's senior management. As for what they have to do, just wait for the good news! (To be continued......)
