293. Rules
Li reorganized for a long time before calming down his mood, and the trace of doubt just now was also washed away by this news.
Lee Chong called Kim Yoon-seok and Ha Jung-woo to inform him of the good news, Kim Yoon-seok was very calm, after all, "Chaser" gave him too many honors, the best actor at the Baeksang Art Awards, the best actor at the Daejong Awards, and this time it was the Blue Dragon Award, if he won the award again this time, he won the three major film festival awards in South Korea in a year, it would be really unthinkable; Ha Jung-woo is complaining about Li Chong's skipping ticket, before Li Chong asked Ha Zhengyu to practice skiing, and he didn't care about it after giving the money, if He Zhengyu didn't believe in Li Chong, he really thought that Li Chong had forgotten him, and Ha Zhengyu was also relatively depressed This year is obviously the year he broke out, whether it is good, his acting skills in "Chaser" are also recognized by most people, but unfortunately he met the general trend of Kim Yun-seok, he is the closest escort to the two major film festivals this year, and this time the Blue Dragon Award is estimated to be so sad.
Lee Chong finally appeased Ha Jung-woo and promised to wait until after the Blue Dragon Award to start preparing for the new film, and then notified the other nominees. During this period, the assistant PD of "The Birth of the Family" came to him for filming, and Li Chong politely refused as soon as he heard that it was a rock music performance, saying that he had too many things now, and at this time, Zhang Hezai PD also knew the news of the Blue Dragon Award nomination, and even knew that Li Chong should be informing the crew now, so he discussed with Liu Zaishi and let Li Chong over.
After dinner, Yoo Jae-seok and Lee Hyo-ri went to the village activity room to prepare for tomorrow's performance, and each episode of "The Birth of a Family" will do a performance in the recorded village, or dance, or sing, or traditional projects, etc., but each time it will bring joy to the villagers.
It's the same this time, because Kim Jong Kook, Lee Hyori is here, Daesung and Yoona are there, so Jang Hyuk Jae PD and the writers' team discussed it and decided that tomorrow's performance will be to sing a song in the form of rock......
After Li Chong informed everyone, he thought for a while, and then called Li Haoyang back with a happy mood, "What's wrong?" Call me in such a hurry? Li Zhong asked after the phone was connected.
Li Haoyang knew where Li Chong went, but he heard a news that was not too complete in the afternoon, so after many inquiries, he finally gradually restored the news, and the accuracy was quite accurate, that is, the president of the DSP company suddenly deteriorated, and he had begun to fall unconscious in the past few days, and now the people of the DSP company were panicking.
And Director Jin of the DSP company even let out the wind when he was drinking last night, wanting to disband Kara and launch a new girl group, because he has prepared a new girl group, as long as the funds can be moved, he can make his debut at any time......
Of course, the person who drank with him also proposed that he sell Kara, after all, it is better to sell it than to disband, at least it can recover some of the cost, and Director Jin also has some thoughts about this idea, saying that he will go back and discuss it with his sister. This time, the drinkers included a composer who had a good relationship with Li Haoyang, and it was also this composer who proposed to sell Kara, because he had made music for Kara, so he really didn't want such a promising girl group to be disbanded like this.
After listening to this, Li Chong thought for a while, "You go and get this composer in touch with Director Kim to see how much KARA's plan to sell?" Let's just say that someone intends to take this plate, of course, the price will be lower first, starting from 1 billion...... "Li Zhong plans to test it first, to see if this director Jin can call the shots, and also let him know that kara can still be sold for money......
“…… Sister, I think this matter is really something to consider......" In a luxury villa in Jiangnan District, a noble lady sat on the sofa and listened quietly to her brother's words.
That's right, this is the wife of the president of DSP, Mrs. Lee, and the sister of Director Kim......
In fact, Mrs. Li is also a woman with huge ambitions, or she would not have taken over the DSP company when her husband was sick, not to mention that she would have such courage to purge her husband's power, which is the pillar of a series of DSP companies, including SS501.
"I know what you're saying, but are you sure someone will take Kara? There have been combinations that have changed owners before, but if you can survive, you can count how many are left, will there be such a stupid person now? Mrs. Li thought about it for a while, in fact, she also wanted to get rid of Kara, and even more wanted to dissolve SS501, so that the DSP company would be completely their Jin family...... However, SS501 is the backbone of the company, and it is the main source of income for the company, so even if it is to be dissolved, it must be squeezed out of value first...... As for Kara, she is just a small fish, and Mrs. Li doesn't care at all, because Kara debuted for a year, and the money from selling albums, running commercial performances and advertising has basically earned back the training fees of the trainees, and the DSP company really didn't lose money on them to be honest.
Maybe some people don't understand, how can you make money back in the first year of your debut? Doesn't it mean that newcomers earn less and it's not easy to mix?
People in the circle actually understand, even senior idols know that the least earned is idol, and the worst is also idol, and the brokerage company will sign an extremely harsh contract when signing a contract for the first time before debut, generally for five years, and some for eight or ten years, tell the prospective artists who are about to debut that the company spends a lot on you, so don't make too much money in the first five years, let the company return to its original cost first, and earn back the money you trained. Wait for the next five years to be the time for you to make money......
When you think about it, in order to cultivate yourself, the company's annual expenses can be estimated, and everyone basically knows how much money a combination can spend from trainee to debut, and that is not a small amount, not to mention that large companies will give you publicity after your debut, etc., which is a big expense, so everyone can accept the harsh contract of this debut, which can be regarded as an unspoken rule of the Korean entertainment industry......
But sometimes people don't realize how much benefit they can make for the company. Taking Kara as an example, the debut album eventually sold more than 50,000 copies, with an average of 14,000 won per album, which is 700 million won, as well as the sale of music sources, the sale of MVs, advertising endorsements, commercial performances, and the announcement fees of the three major TV stations are ignored...... The value created by KRA in just one year should be about 2 billion won, and KARA's training fee is about 1 billion won, because Goo Hara and Kang Ji-young joined later, and theoretically the training fee is less, and last year's publicity investment was a fraction of SS501, less than 1 billion won, which means that DSP companies will not lose money on KRA in just one year, let alone Girls' Generation and Wondergirls, who will make more money than KARA...... Wondergirls, in particular, made more money this year than many boy groups......
