"Donglai, do you really think so? To march into the United States. ”

Suzy was naturally very happy to hear it, but An Shuzhen was more worried, "It's not easy to enter the United States, wonder-girs were so popular back then, aren't they all coming back in ashes, besides, there is no record department in the United States at present, right?" According to the goal of the Korea Economic Corporation, we should have entered the rΓ¬ market first, after all, it is easier for Asians to develop there. ”

Li Donglai said this not on a whim, but had been planned for a long time, explaining: "There is a record department in the United States, but it used to only sell movie soundtracks, but the distribution system has also been set up and is gradually improving, and it will not be like wonder-girs, which has no roots to rely on and fights everywhere, at least they have a base camp there." Besides, my contract with Universal Music expires next year, and Ghost Music will have to be established sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. The Korean market pattern is there, and it is estimated that it will be time to go out of South Korea next year after another half a year of development. We have nothing to do with entering the country, we have not done it before, but it is better in the United States, at least we are familiar with it, and the market is larger. ”

When he said this, An Shuzhen was also moved.

As the largest music market in Asia, Rì will definitely not give up this market according to the development route of Korean singers in the past. It's just that the situation of the Phantom is a little different, just like Li Dong said, they have a meager relationship in Rì, and if they want to enter the Rì market, they must sign contracts with other music companies and rebuild their relationship. Compared with the two, the American market is more familiar, and Li Donglai is now a singer at the level of a small king, with his first album selling 15 million copies, which is not an easy number to surpass. It's even more reassuring to have him there.

But there has never been a precedent for the success of a Korean singer in the United States before, which makes Ahn Shuzhen unpredictable and difficult to make up her mind.

Seeing An Shuzhen in a wandering, and Xiuzhi's eyes with her mouth open in anticipation, Li Donglai couldn't help but tease: "Xiuzhi." Do you want to go to RΓ¬ben or the United States? ”

"Ask me? Of course, I went to the United States, and we didn't get a good grade in RΓ¬, but English was hard work, and all four of us were able to speak English fluently, or with an American accent. ”

Her words helped An Shuzhen make up her mind, and she said helplessly: "I told you not to learn rΓ¬ well." It's hard to get into the market now. If the development of the United States fails, there is a market that can maneuver...... Alas, I always feel uneasy, after all, the skin is different, and it is not so easy for people to accept. missa's album sales in Korea are also among the best, as well as Iu. The album sold well in South Korea, with 150,000 copies, ranking second in South Korea, but it was not even a fraction of the east. ”

Xiuzhi felt aggrieved and said coquettishly: "Ernie, how can you compare us with oppa, there is no singer in the world more than him last year and this year." It's obviously not fair. ”

An Shuzhen smiled, "Count me wrong." Then you should at least sell better than Girls' Generation albums, Girls' Generation didn't enter the United States. ”

Suzy argued, "That's because S-M doesn't have an American company, and we Phantoms don't have a relationship. ”

"Bingo, Suzy answered well."

Li Donglai raised his hand backwards, Xiuzhi happily gave him a high-five, and An Shuzhen said helplessly: "You are so eager to enter the American market? ”

"Uh-huh." Suzy's chick kept nodding like rice, "I don't want the album to sell well." As long as there are more than Korea, we are satisfied. ”

An Shuzhen first took a preventive shot and said: "Then you have to be prepared to endure hardships, the competitive pressure in the United States is much greater than that in South Korea, so many singers debuted, and how many were buried." There are countless singer dreams, and only a few succeed in the end. Don't be full of faith now, and then run back in disgrace. ”

Li Donglai nodded in agreement. "This is true, I think I can send an English single to find out the bottom first."

"First single? I agree. Ahn Sook-jin said: "If you have an English single, it will sell well in Korea. Of course, it would be better if you were willing to participate in the shooting of the mV. ”

"yes. Oh, yes. If oppa shoots mV with us, my sisters will be very happy. "Xiu Zhile kept talking.

Li Donglai pinched his nose and said, "It's not impossible for me to participate, and don't be too happy." There are pros and cons to this. My participation will certainly attract popularity, but the media will definitely be more demanding, and if your single doesn't sell well enough, you will be criticized. ”

"We will definitely work hard, and we will definitely not disgrace you." Xiuzhi was in high spirits, sat up from his seat, hooked the neck of Li Donglai in the front row, and swore a curse.

"Ah, neck, neck...... Oppa is still driving. ”

"Suzy, don't make trouble." An Shuzhen dissuaded.

"Hehe, if I tell the news to my sisters, will they jump for joy? And Iu, will she also go to the United States with her? ”

Li Donglai affirmed: "Of course, it's good to release singles together." ”

β€œyeah! Be sure to treat Ji-eun...... Ouch. Suzy was so excited that she jumped on the seat, but her head hit the roof of the car and she screamed in pain.

An Shuzhen suddenly smiled, touched her head, and said angrily: "It's okay to give me some points." You are all like this, how can you rest assured that you will go to the United States. In the past, you were spoiled by the East, and from now on, you must be strictly inspected, whether it is practice or study, you must be strict, if you can't meet the standard, the United States will not think about it. ”

"Ahh

"What's my business?" Li Donglai was also aggrieved.

An Shuzhen glared, and Li Donglai had no choice but to shut up. Although he is the boss, he still has a lot of respect for this sister. Suzy turned his head to see Li Donglai's reaction, he rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue angrily, and the two glanced at each other, both of them smiled with empathy and "hehe".

An Shuzhen sat there and thought for a long time, and said worriedly: "You have brought them to the United States, then the Korean side will be empty, and our trainees have not been trained yet." ”

Li Donglai asked casually, "What about 4minute?" ”

"Do you really want to dig them up? cuBe's offer is not low. ”

"Isn't their contract about to expire? Talk more and don't be afraid of high bids. "Li Donglai still remembers Kim Hyun-ah, anyway, the phantom started by digging people, and he doesn't care about other people's eyes." In addition to the girl group, solo older singers should also pay attention to the fact that we can't just rely on the development of the girl group, and sign it if we like it. ”

An Shuzhen suddenly became interested, "You reminded me that Kim Jong Kook hasn't released a record for a long time." Now that Rm is on fire, it's time for him to make a record. It's just that he already has his own music company, which is a pity, but he can also cooperate. YG seems to have been in contact with Park Jae-sang some time ago, and I don't know how the conversation is going, so I have to ask...... There is also a singer I like very much, Yoon Min-so. It seems like it's been a long time. ”

She did it as soon as she thought of it, flipped out the mobile phone in her bag and found the phone number, and kept muttering the name of the singer in her mouth.

Li Donglai and Pei Xiuzhi glanced at each other, and couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

When I came to the venue of the Celebration Banquet Hotel, it was already very lively. The people who gathered together in twos and threes are all well-known figures in the Korean entertainment industry.

Li Donglai walked into the venue quietly. But he immediately became the center of attention. He didn't deliberately dress up, just a simple Versace casual suit, with two buttons open on the inner shirt, revealing a strong chest.

"Li Donglai xi, congratulations, the box office is a big hit, and the year-end awards are estimated to be a bumper harvest again." A glasses uncle came up to him. The physiognomy is not eye-catching, but it is full of aura. It's none other than Lee so-man, South Korea's entertainment tycoon and S-M's major shareholder.

In February last year, he stepped down as the registered director + Neowisbugs replaced Ai Hui as the second largest shareholder of SM and served as the director of the overseas business department.

Although he no longer holds the position of president, in order to strengthen his position as a major shareholder, he still receives an additional 1.5% stake from Rì Benaihui. Securing a total of 28.3% of the shares, the current president of S-M is Kim Young-min.

Lee Dong-rae smiled, winning the award was not attractive to him, but the movies made by the Phantom seemed to have won the award in South Korea. He doesn't care about this, and he is not an award-winning director, the first thing he pursues when making movies is the box office, the second is word of mouth, and the third is whether he can win the award!

In recent years, South Korean awards have become more and more public, and they have to focus on literature and light on martial arts. Large-scale zuΓ² action movies and martial arts films are rarely award-winning. The more sadistic the movie is, the more likely it is to win awards with literature and art. In this regard, the major awards in Asia are far inferior to the 'Oscars', and South Korea's largest Blue Dragon Awards are also far from the Oscars and Golden Globes.

"Rejoice, rejoice. Your company's artists are also more popular. ”

Li Donglai casually took a glass of juice from the waiter's tray and touched it. Someone else drinks. He drank juice, which seemed very unauthentic, but he got used to it...... Others have to follow suit.

Lee so-man didn't mind, and took a sip very happily, "In the whole of South Korea, there is no more vibrant film company than Phantom, and we also have a production department at S-M, but we have always been engaged in TV production, and I hope to deepen cooperation in film when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Li Donglai laughed and said, "The opportunity is right in front of you." Let me introduce you to Ms. Ahn Sook-jin, CEO of Phantom Korea, who is responsible for most of the business of Korean companies. If Li Xiuman's seniors are willing, they can have a good talk with Sister An. ”

An Shuzhen stepped forward with a smile and said, "Senior Li Xiuman, it is my honor to meet a successful person like you." To tell you the truth, before coming here, we have already confirmed the start of filming of two films, and if there are no accidents, the films will start shooting in the second half of the year. However, the development of the Phantom reproduction is still relatively slow, and it is urgent to cooperate with a strong company like S-M. ”

"Oh." Li Xiuman's eyes lit up, "Then we need to have a good chat." Our two companies have a close relationship, just like Girls' Generation, and the brokerage contracts in the United States are all in the hands of the Phantom. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Li, please, let's go over and talk about it."

Li Xiuman glanced at Li Donglai, Li Donglai decisively made a gesture of asking for convenience, and he immediately left Li Donglai and An Shuzhen aside to talk.
