Chapter 601: Set up a bureau
Lee Seung Gi left satisfied, Hee Sung yawned again, and slowly curled up in the soft sofa, ready to sleep peacefully, these two songs were written yesterday, it was a waste of brain cells.
Just as he was about to squint, an abrupt voice rang out behind him.
"Tsk, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have really thought it was Mr. Li because of this style of doing things...... Tsk......"
Hee-sung's heart beat faster, his nerves tensed, and he sat up suddenly.
Suddenly found that there was another person watching from beginning to end at the scene, and anyone who did something bad would feel uncomfortable.
But soon he realized who it was, and the whole person relaxed again, "Brother Dou Huan, you can rest in my lounge again, can you leave me a little private space?" β
Obviously, the door to the lounge was never opened, and the driver's uncle obviously came out of the room.
"What do you do with your private space, do bad things?" Jin Doohuan shook his head and sighed: "Hee Sung, I always thought that you had low emotional intelligence and needed to hone it well, but I found that I was wrong, I was really wrong......"
"Alright," Hee-sung looked a little uncomfortable by him, "You haven't said why you're in my break room, I hate it when people stay in my place." β
"My office is being renovated," Kim Doo-hwan sneered, "Don't change the subject, let me guess what you're doing today, right?" β
"Whatever you think, I didn't do anything," Hee Sung turned his face away, not ready to pay attention to him.
"The headquarters wants to launch a singer, why don't I know?" Kim Doo-hwan didn't believe it, he watched Hee grow up and knew him well.
"Just because you don't know doesn't mean you don't, after all, this is a matter for the headquarters, and you're just the head of the Korean branch," Hee Sung was a little embarrassed and angry, and gradually couldn't maintain a calm expression. A faint flush appeared on his slightly pale face, and it was obvious that his heart was not as straightforward as it seemed.
In fact, Hades is indeed forming a record label, but so far, the purpose of the so-called record label is only to cooperate with Warner to help Hee Sung release overseas records.
Kim Doo-hwan has an overview of almost all the industries under Hee-sung's name, and nothing can get past him.
"Although I'm not a professional," Kim Doo-hwan calmly looked into Hee-sung's eyes, sighed inwardly, and said, "This song sounds good." I'm afraid it's not suitable for Lee Seung Gi. β
"He said he could sing this song well," Hee-sung lowered his eyebrows and didn't look at anyone, "I also persuaded him to give up, but unfortunately, as you can see, he insisted on singing it himself." β
"Bullshit!" Kim Doo-hwan suddenly burst into a foul mouth, "Lee Seung-gi is not a good thing, he came to us just to share the songs he wrote with you." Everybody knows this, but is this the only reason why you designed him this way? β
"Oh, what else is there to do?" Hee-sung's hand gripping the cup tightened. The knuckles began to slowly whiten, and the pursed lips showed the stubbornness of the Li family members.
"Just because he said on the show that the ideal type is Yun'er, just because he and Yun'er had a meal, just because he and Yun'er walked less than 200 meters away after eating. You're targeting him like that? Kim Doo-hwan was also a little angry, "Hee-sung, I didn't think you were such a stingy person." β
"That's right. It's that simple," Hee Sung closed his eyes, leaned back on the sofa and said faintly, "Do you need more reasons?" β
"Don't be childish," Kim Doo-hwan's status in the Li family is more like a legendary protector, shouldering the responsibility of making Hee-sung grow into a qualified heir, he patiently explained: "You and Lin Yun'er are just in love, you can divorce when you get married, and it's normal to break up when you're in love, you can't knock down all the men who come into contact with her, and she also has the right to choose." β
"If you tell your father, your mother may divorce him and fall in love with another man," Hee-sung winked mockingly and said playfully, "Do you think you can still stand in front of him?" β
Kim Doo-hwan thought of Lee Seung-ho's reaction after his madness, and couldn't help but shiver, and quickly shook his head to dispel that scene, "If one day, Lin Yuna likes someone else......"
"No!" Xi Cheng slapped the table in a rage, shaking the tea cup and rolling directly to the ground, he roared with a hideous face: "There can't be that day, if there is, I will let him ruin him, and he will never be able to turn over!" β
"......" Kim Doo-hwan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.
Right and wrong morality is just a means for the powerless and powerless to defend their interests, and for some people, they have amazing resources in their hands, and they only want to do things according to their hearts, and they do not follow the rules and regulations of the world at all.
"I'm not overdoing it, am I?" Hee Sung softened his tone and said: "I just asked him to go to the United States to develop, and he did so willingly, the song I gave him may not be written by ten people in the world, I will sell it in the European and American music scenes, and I won't care about it at all without 10 billion won." β
"Maybe I've been standing in the dark for too long, and I always feel that this game you have laid down is very far-reaching," Jin Doohuan said incomprehensibly: "However, since you have decided, I have nothing to say, as Mr. Li has always insisted that a person must always care about something, and for it can be the enemy of the world." β
First of all, he deliberately took the wrong CD and showed it to Lee Seung Gi to hear that Hee Cheng did not hesitate to come up with a super masterpiece of almost unprecedented quality, and this bait was so big that any singer in the world might not be able to resist the temptation.
Secondly, make up a lie that the headquarters wants to recruit artists, draw a big pie of European and American comprehensive artists, can go to the world's largest record market to make money, and also have the opportunity to act in Hollywood, even if it is BOA, she will definitely go.
Again, this is a good song, yes, a layman like Kim Doo-hwan can hear that this is a good song, but as a layman, he can also tell that this song is not suitable for Lee Seung Gi.
That's the key!
Lee Hyori relies on a divine comedy "Ten Minutes", as long as he does not ruin his fame, he can eat his old book for ten years, but Europe and the United States are not Japan and South Korea, and the competition is more cruel, that is where he speaks with strength, and once there is no good song, he will soon be silent.
Don't think how much you can achieve with this song "RightRound", when Xicheng's song "Arson and Rain" was Adele's masterpiece in the memory of otaku, there was no MV. Without publicity, he won the first place on the Billboard singles chart for 2 weeks, the runner-up for 5 weeks, the third place for 2 weeks, the top 10 for 14 weeks, the top 10 for 43 weeks, and the 12th place on the annual chart in 2012.
But when he was changed to an Asian singer to sing, Hee Sung only got the twelfth place on the singles chart, and he couldn't even enter the top ten.
Lee Seung Gi relies on this song that is not suitable for him at all, if he can enter the top ten, it will be good, and the top of the singles chart doesn't even need to think about it. This is still the case when Hee Sung really praises him.
After this song, as long as Hee Sung no longer writes songs for him, he can only become a third-rate artist, and with a contract that can only develop in Europe and the United States, there will never be any possibility of turning over.
Finally, comprehensive artists are also a big pit, most of the Asian actors in Hollywood are supporting roles or even tricks, although Hades has an innate advantage, but Kim Doo-hwan has no hope for Hee-sung's character.
So. This is a bureau, a big pit, and a big conspiracy laid out by a seemingly innocent teenager with a raised hand!
Hee Sung was silent, not knowing if he was too lazy to justify. Or the default.
"I always feel like you have a castle," Kim Doo-hwan smiled, "but you may not have noticed, or you think you're working hard for girlhood." Haven't you thought about it, the t_ara you're working so hard now is also a ...... for girls' generation Well. Harm. β
Xi Cheng raised his eyebrows, and his mood fluctuated significantly.
He thought about it calmly, and it seemed that it was really like that.
However, there are some things that cannot be explained, and even he himself has been in a state of instability of contradiction and vacillation.
He always wants to protect Yun'a, but many times it always brings harm and trouble to her, such as calling the director of "You Are My Destiny", now that I think about it, it is extremely brain-dead, and there are cruel words to Park Wenwan, in fact, there is no need at all, as long as S&M succeeds, that kind of beam-jumping clown has almost no power to fight back.
He didn't want the Black Sea to happen, because the damage to the girlhood was too deep, but the otaku remembered it clearly and told him that this group could stand at the peak of the girl group for five years or even longer, and this time the Black Sea contributed a lot.
A women's group, let a group of men's groups tie their hands, according to the conventional way is not at all, can only create heroes in the current situation.
The Black Sea allowed them to create a legend of standing at the top from the trough in a short period of time, making them more united and cherished.
Hee-sung is not even an adult, he has not experienced real storms at all, he can only carefully plan his own code of conduct, and strive to minimize the impending misfortune.
"There are some things that are better not to do," Kim Doo-hwan opened the door, paused and turned back and said, "At least don't do it yourself, lest you be caught, I remember that you like the sun very much." β
"Thank you, I will try my best to control my temper in the future, and I will think twice before doing things," Xicheng said very sincerely, and the meaning of this is actually the meaning of admitting mistakes.
Kim Doo-hwan is also a teacher and friend, and there is no shame in apologizing to him.
"Snort," although Kim Doo-hwan was very pleased that he said this, but he was a little disapprehensive in his heart, as the saying goes, it is difficult to change the temperament of the country, especially the people of the Li family, let alone those who know their mistakes and change them.
"As for this matter...... Hee Cheng hesitated for a moment, wanting to say let go, but he was a little unwilling.
Kim Doo-hwan interrupted him and said, "Since this matter has already begun, let's do it more thoroughly, just leave it to me, you don't have to worry about it, prepare well for your graduate exam." β
Hee-sung didn't know how he would change his plans, but since Kim Doo-hwan told him to leave it alone, he would have forgotten about it.
The next day, Lee Seung-gi was pleasantly surprised to get a positive reply from the headquarters, and asked him to report to Mr. Kim Doo-hwan of Hades Korea, and Hades would help him solve some problems in South Korea.
Leaving South Korea to go to the United States, it seems simple, but in fact, it is not simple at all.
The temporary withdrawal of the regular guest of the large-scale variety show "Two Days and One Night", if you can't get KBS's understanding, it will be a breach of contract, not to mention the liquidated damages, and it will offend the TV station and Jiang Hudong.
There are also some advertising endorsements, which need to be negotiated, either to terminate the contract peacefully, or to continue the endorsement, or to compensate the merchant for losses.
"None of this is a problem, I'll have someone help you out," Kim Doo-hwan sat behind a huge desk, his face hidden in the shadow of the backlight, and even his voice seemed erratic.
"Thank you. Director Kim," Lee Seung Gi bowed gratefully.
The head of Hades in South Korea always has a weird smile that makes people feel chills in their hearts, but at this moment, Lee Seung-gi feels that he is like an angel, and the problem that has plagued him all night has been solved at once.
"Call me Brother Doo-hwan, your appearance has solved the problem that has plagued Hades for a long time, don't thank me," Kim Doo-hwan said pretendly: "But." In the end, I have to confirm with you, you must know that no matter how good the song is, there will always be risks for you to debut in the United States, and we will do our best to support you, but whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself. β
"I understand, Brother Doohwan, don't worry," Lee Seung Gi patted his chest and promised, "There is such a good song." In addition, I've been promoting it over there, and if I can't mix it up, I won't complain. β
ββ¦β¦ Alas," Kim Doo-hwan picked up the contract in front of him. Hand it to the other party, "Look at this contract, because hades and HS are separate agencies, so you have to sign a new contract." β
Lee Seung-gi was overjoyed. Hurriedly took two steps to take the contract, bowed and sat on the sofa next to him with great interest.
This contract was written in a hurry, but it was definitely not a version of it being taken out at random to fool people. Lee Seung-ho himself is a senior prosecutor, and Kim Doo-hwan was able to find the most professional people when it came to legal matters.
The division is very generous, comparable to the top artists in Europe and the United States, not to mention South Korea.
For more than two albums per year, the frequency of release depends on the results of the previous album, and each album will be promoted for four months, and Hades will be responsible for the collection, recording, distribution, promotion, and even sales of the album.
The company will recommend roles for the signatories in more than two Hollywood movies every year, and the specific role company negotiates with the signatories themselves, and whether they can get the roles depends mainly on the contractor's own efforts.
For more than two concerts per year, the company is fully responsible, and the company only takes 20% of the profit outside the cost.
If there is something that makes Lee Seung-gi dissatisfied, it is that the contract says that in order to allow him to concentrate on overseas development, he will not be allowed to develop his Korean career during the contract period, but fortunately, the contract period is only three years, and it is really time to return to his hometown at that time.
"No problem, no problem," Lee Seung Gi said brightly, as if he had seen Hollywood and the Grammys beckoning to him, and he tossed and turned all night, never dreaming that the contract would be so generous.
"Your English level is still a little insufficient," Kim Doo-hwan's tone was like a warm spring breeze, warming people's hearts, "I'll send you an agent with good English until you get used to it thoroughly, how about it?" β
"How embarrassing is this," Lee Seung Gi scratched his head a little shyly, "Thank you, Brother Dou Huan, don't worry, I will work hard and win a Grammy or Hollywood award for our Hades." β
"What Hee Sung can't doβmaybe you can really do it, work hard, prepare for it in the next few days, and go over for training in a few days," Kim Doo-hwan smiled mockingly, but Lee Seung Gi didn't see it because of the backlight.
Lee Seung-gi thanked him for his resignation and left, and the contract would be signed in a few days when he arrived at Hades headquarters.
Not long after, someone came to visit.
It is Xicheng's new assistant Cui Minxi, who accompanied Xicheng to the United States at the beginning of the year, although he is quite capable, but because he has just returned from the army, he has no work experience at all, so he can only do chores.
"Sit down, I won't beat around the bush with you," Kim Doo-hwan said slowly: "There is something you need to do, but I don't know if you dare, or if you can do it." β
"Senior, can you please say?" Choi Min-hee is also afraid of this executive director, but he also admires this person.
From a small driver to the management of HS Studio, in just three years, he has become the current executive director of Hades Pictures in South Korea, and he is simply Choi Min-hee's idol.
"This is a bit difficult to say," Kim Doo-hwan rubbed his chin and looked at this subordinate who was still a little young with amusement, "Before I go again, I want to ask, do you think you are a good person or a bad person?" β
Choi Min-hee's forehead was a little sweaty, and he looked at Kim Doo-hwan for some reason, trying to see the reason from his face, but unfortunately he only saw a white and miserable sunshine, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "I'm not a bad person, but I'm not a good person either." β
"Huh," Kim Doo-hwan smiled and shook his head, stood up and walked to the water dispenser next to him to pick up a cup of hot water.
Although it was a sneer, Choi Min-hee glanced at it secretly. I feel that the big boss seems to be happy with this answer.
"You go to the United States to be an agent for Lee Seung Gi for a period of time," Kim Doo-hwan did not walk back to his seat, but sat down opposite Choi Min-hee, looked at him sternly, and said: "Can you win his trust in the shortest possible time?" β
Choi Min-hee's heart was shocked and he had a bad premonition, but looking at Kim Doo-hwan's smiling eyes, he could clearly see Yan SΓΉ's expression, he didn't dare to have the idea of refusing, and nodded after swallowing his saliva. "I've seen Lee Seung Gi, no problem at all."
After Kim Doo-hwan told him about Lee Seung-gi's going to the United States to develop, he said in an unfathomable manner: "After gaining his trust, your task is very simple, that is, to persuade him to become an American citizen......
"What?" Choi Min-hee screamed and almost jumped.
If it were on other occasions, he wouldn't be too surprised by such a request, but the conspiracy atmosphere created by Boss Jin told him that this matter must not be simple.
He couldn't help but think of someone......
Yoo Seung-jun!
Yoo Seung-joon is a famous Korean singer. Have permanent residency in the United States. He has been active in the Korean music scene since 1997 and has released 6 solo albums. In addition, he also shot many commercials and earned a lot of money. According to the Korean Military Service Act, South Koreans who have the right to permanently reside abroad are required to perform military service when they engage in profitable activities in the country. However. Being a soldier means interrupting acting activities and losing the huge benefits at your fingertips, so Liu Chengjun finally made the decision to become an American citizen.
Yoo Seung-jun's move has caused outrage in all sectors of South Korean society. Major South Korean media severely condemned him. Fans have published articles accusing Yoo Seung-jun on their websites. And hope that he "never returns to South Korea." South Korea's HA-NARO Communications Company has decided to shelve two commercials shot by Yoo Seung-joon, which are scheduled to start airing in the near future, and the Korean Broadcasting Corporation Television has also decided to replace Yoo Seung-joon's program with someone else. After learning that Yoo Seung-jun was going to return to South Korea to perform in February this year, the Military Affairs Agency asked the Ministry of Justice at the end of January to refuse Yoo Seung-jun's entry. In the early hours of February 2. Yoo Seung-jun flew from the United States to Incheon International Airport in South Korea. The Immigration Bureau of the Ministry of Justice of South Korea rejected Yoo's request to enter the country, and he had to return to the United States in disgrace.
Since then, Liu Chengjun has become a lonely ghost.
What does Boss Kim want to do, Choi Min-hee's heart is a little chilly.
"That's probably what you think," Kim Doo-hwan smiled and blinked weirdly, "This is a chance for you, if you do it, you are an elite talent of HADES or HS, you can do whatever you want, but if you refuse, I can make it difficult for you to move an inch in South Korea, believe it or not?" β
Cui Minxi's face was blue and white for a while, his fingers were tightly inserted in the flesh, almost pinching blood, and he nodded with a wry smile after a while, "I believe it!" By the way, my biggest wish is to be an agent, and I have no other ambitions. β
Can you not believe it, he saw with his own eyes that Lee Seung-ho and Hee-sung reached a huge deal of up to $500 million in a few words on the plane.
500 million US dollars, 500 billion won, 500 billion won is the concept of Tema, how many people in South Korea can take out 500 billion won casually, and it only accounts for 20% of the shares.
Whether Lee Kun-hee can or not, Choi Min-hee can't guarantee it.
If he really gets serious, he will definitely not be able to move an inch in South Korea.
Jin Doo-hwan thought that he would only believe it if he sent someone to intimidate him, who knew that this kid was so good, but, no matter what, his goal was achieved, and he asked: "So, what about your decision, do it or not." β
"I ......" Choi Min-hee covered his face and wailed, "Boss, you are simply a devil, how did Lee Seung-gi offend you, can't I do it?" β
If you don't do it, you're done, and if you do, it's not necessarily over.
In an instant, a good young man was induced to fall by the Great Demon King.
"Actually, it's very simple," Jin Douhuan didn't think it was wrong, nodded with satisfaction and said: "He has to serve in the military sooner or later, now change his nationality as soon as possible, no one will find out, even if someone finds out, he will mainly develop in the United States in the future, so he doesn't have to care too much......"
Cui Minxi was so sad that he didn't believe the nonsense in his words such as "no one will find out" and "don't care too much", with this kind of devil standing behind, how could it be okay, if it's really okay, what is he doing in this bureau, does it hurt to be idle?
