Chapter 711: An Opportunity to Exit
South Korea's entertainment brokerage companies, like most countries, are very chaotic and complex, most of them are small companies, and most of the bosses are old artists.
Most of them need the entertainment industry the most, either choose to be a mentor for newcomers, or choose to become the president of the company, relying on their accumulated connections, and make great efforts to promote the newcomers they sign, but some things still need a little luck, not just relying on connections to become a popular star.
For example, Liu Zaishi's brokerage company was established by the predecessors of funny artists in the entertainment industry, and the directors of the company are all popular funny artists, but there is no professional management personnel, which leads to the company's management and operation is very chaotic, and the company's accounts have been missing.
There are two kinds of artists in Korean agencies, one is talented singers and actors, who can grow up quickly with a little training and become a new generation of popular stars.
The second is represented by S.M Company, the reason why Li Xiuman is not very good in the entertainment industry has an absolute relationship with the fact that he is the first product to treat artists as assembly lines.
The older generation of artists all think that in the entertainment industry, they rely on everyone's talent and hard work, but Li Xiuman directly believes that artists can be completed through acquired training, even if they have no talent, as long as they pay enough sweat, they can eventually become an artist star, which is also the purpose of his company.
Talent is not the only criterion for S.M company to select artist trainees, the most important thing is whether the appearance is qualified, other things can be cultivated, but in Li Xiuman's opinion, appearance is the only thing that needs talent, only a beautiful face can attract the attention of fans, so as to quickly increase the number of fans.
When other entertainment brokerage companies looked at Li Xiuman and his agency with strange eyes, everyone thought in their hearts to see how miserable he had lost, and they definitely didn't expect that he would create a new star training mechanism.
When HOT, Mythical Age, SES, TVXQ and other groups continued to achieve success, other talents put away their old ideas and adopted the same training mechanism as S.M, hoping that they could also cultivate HOT and other heavenly groups, so as not to let S.M take the lead.
The key is that most of the people who own shares in the brokerage company are the seniors of funny artists, so many artists in the company dare not speak out when they suffer losses, for fear that they will not respect the reputation of their predecessors, causing them to be dumb and can't say anything.
Until this time, the company's capital chain was broken, resulting in the inability to pay all the artists' income in the company, so that even top funny artists like Liu Zaishi were forced to sue the agency for arrears of salaries after six months in arrears.
In the chairman's office on the top floor of the KG building, Jin Guofeng has been worrying a lot recently, especially this year when it is time for the return of the program members he participated in, but he and the program team have not found a suitable time to leave.
Especially for the two-day and one-night show, Kim Jong-min returned to the show as early as the end of last year, and suddenly there was an extra member, which caused the filming effect of the show to be much worse, and the program team was already discussing the time of his departure.
Jin Guofeng's idea is to leave the two programs together, although the impact is a bit big, but it is very beneficial to himself, even reporters will not be too interested in reporting these news.
Things often turn very suddenly, and on the evening of March 26, a very sudden news began to circulate quietly in the upper classes.
"What? One frigate of the Navy is silent! Jin Guofeng was shocked by this news, and he knew very well what this news meant.
"Well, the specific situation is not clear, whether you hit the reef and are silent, or you need detailed information to be sunk, I will tell you in advance, so as not to catch you off guard tomorrow." Kim Jong-chao did not forget to inform his partners in his busy schedule, that is, he knew how big the economic blow to South Korea would be if the news spread tomorrow.
"Thank you for the notice, I know you're the busiest at this time, so let's hurry up and get busy with your important things." Jin Guofeng knows very well in his heart the importance of this call, when everyone knows the news after dawn tomorrow, the financial market will be disrupted, and everyone will be worried about the recurrence of the Civil War and the coming of war.
Putting down the phone, Jin Guofeng hurriedly contacted Henry, told the news, and asked him to quickly find a way to remedy it, so as not to suffer heavy losses after dawn.
After sitting in the office and thinking about it for a long time, Jin Guofeng suddenly remembered that this very sudden news of the sinking of the frigate would definitely attract the attention of the people of the whole country, and all entertainment programs would be temporarily suspended, which was the best time for him to quit the show, and when no one was paying attention, he would directly withdraw from all the shows.
The Cheonan incident directly led to the end of the period of friendship between the two Koreas, and the smell of gunsmoke reappeared near the 38th parallel.
The next day happened to be the day of the Infinite Challenge recording, and when Kim arrived at the TV station, the members were already in the lounge putting on makeup and changing costumes, ready to prepare for the start of filming.
At this time, the news of the sinking of the Navy frigate had already begun to circulate on the TV station, but it had not been reported by the Blue House since it received an official reply.
"Brother Taihao, I have something to talk to you about." Calling the chief director of the program aside, Jin Guofeng told the situation, hoping that the program team would officially consider his request to quit.
"Are you really leaving?" Kim Tae-ho actually doesn't want people to leave, after all, the interaction between the members is very successful now, and he doesn't want to destroy this chemistry anymore, but he also knows a little about Kim Guofeng, and he knows that he will definitely come back on this day, and he has long thought about quitting.
"Okay, I'll study it with the people of the show, you still shoot with everyone today, I guess if the news is prepared, the broadcast of the entertainment program will definitely be canceled, and you can quit when the time comes." Kim Tae-ho thought about it and decided to wait for the news first, after all, the news had not yet broadcast the news of the sinking of the warship, and today's shooting had already been arranged, so it was natural to shoot according to the plan.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Jin Guofeng didn't say much, he naturally knew that things could not be solved so quickly, and everything would take time.
