Chapter 36 Two Issues

So the future fate of the BATTLE group has already been decided, after the end of the third single album "Step/By/Step", Cui Zhenlong is ready to send all of them to Huaxia, anyway, it is not the first time that they have gone there to do publicity, there is a certain popularity base, just as the C.P.C&G company can open up the Chinese market.

If BATTLE can further open up the situation in Huaxia, then Cui Zhenlong doesn't mind providing them with better treatment and more resources to help them develop better, but if the situation is the opposite, then they can only say sorry, and the dissolution of the group is their final outcome.

This can't blame Cui Zhenlong for being ruthless, it can only be said that this is the standard model of the vast majority of Korean brokerage companies operating their various groups or solo artists, the latter is like those goods made from the assembly line, when these "goods" appear "unsalable" in their own country, they will be taken to other countries to test the water, if they can be "sold", then they will naturally be happy, if not, then in the end these goods can only be "destroyed".

"We now have to find a way to change the deteriorating situation of the company, on the one hand, we need to strengthen the selection and training system of trainees and improve the self-hematopoietic function; On the other hand, the company can't just rely on the income brought by the 'mythical' combination, but also needs to further tap the potential of our company's existing reserve talents, and launch a new group of artists every two years, whether it is a solo or a group, so as to bring more new profit points to the company. ”

"So I propose, in the next six months. Make every effort to create the first girl group belonging to our company! "I've been talking about it for a long time. Cui Zhenlong finally threw out the first topic of today's meeting.

"The main girl group?" The deputy director of the first planning department immediately raised his doubts. "President nim, with all due respect, since the disbandment or semi-retirement of girl groups such as S.E.S, Fin.K.L, and BabyV.O.X, the entire girl group market has been sluggish, and only Jewelry (Seo In-young's original group) is still struggling to support, although other companies have launched girl group groups since then, but they have basically ended in failure. Even S.M Company, they launched the girl group 'Girls' Generation' in 07. Not long ago, it suffered a major setback, and the Black Sea incident caused a lot of uproar. At this time, our company launched a girl group, is it really appropriate to do this? ”

Seeing that someone raised a different opinion in person, Cui Zhenlong was not angry, but also very happy, if the whole company is an echo worm that only knows how to nod, that is the real sadness.

"What Minister Li said is very reasonable, but have you noticed a very critical point, that is, in the year 07, JYP, DSP, S.M. three entertainment companies have launched their own new girl groups. Although said so far. DSP's Kara had a bumpy road, and S.M's girlhood encountered the Black Sea. Only JYP's WonderGirls is still developing smoothly, but the deep meaning behind the launch of a new girl group by these established companies so consistently, hasn't everyone here thought about it carefully? ”

"No matter how long the winter is, there will be a day when it will pass! In the past few years, the girl group market has indeed encountered a cold snap, but now this big market is gradually recovering, and the three major brokerage companies have come ahead of everyone, and we can't continue to wait! If you want to catch up, you have to seize every minute and every second now, even if you really fail in the end, what can you do? We C.P.C&G can afford to lose this loss! ”

Although Cui Zhenlong's words were not impassioned, they were also sonorous and powerful, and almost everyone present unanimously affirmed his opinion, so the plan for the new girl group was decided. Of course, there is a lot of follow-up work, including the selection of the members of the girl group, the design of the image, the formulation of the publicity plan, the selection of the debut song, etc., which cannot be completed in a while, and also requires the full cooperation of the entire company's staff.

Although he has the absolute right to speak in C.P.C&G, and there is no problem at all in forcibly implementing a resolution, but if you do this, once or twice is enough, if it takes a long time, the drawbacks will appear, and it is easy to discourage the enthusiasm of the company's management, which is not the way a top leader should behave. The way to control the next should be loose and relaxed, loose and tight, and blindly being strong will only have the opposite effect in the end.

"Let's move on to another topic!" As he spoke, Cui Zhenlong nodded to Cui Zhenxian, who was sitting in the corner, who quickly got up and distributed a large pile of materials to everyone present.

The first half is more like a notice stating that C.P.C&G, with the full authority of Choi Jin-ryong, has reached a consensus with the members of Myth to sign a new brokerage contract.

Since the previous contract, the rights and obligations of both parties have been significantly modified. Among them, in addition to enjoying a higher share of profits, the "mythical" combination also gives them greater freedom to work, and many restrictions have been fully relaxed. Cui Zhenlong was even able to pat his chest and assure that among the same type of brokerage companies in South Korea, there is no contract comparable to this one.

Many of the managers present already knew about the new contract, and some of them also participated in the formulation of the contract, but they wondered why Cui Zhenlong wanted to mention this at this meeting, until they looked at the second half of the information, and they were surprised.

"President Nim, you're thinking too much... Too bold! ”

"Yes, the investment is too risky, and it is likely that you will lose all your money!"

"Well~~ Although this plan is indeed very novel, it may not be possible to rely on our company alone!"

……

The huge conference room instantly became like a vegetable market, and everyone present expressed their opinions, but most of them were opposed, thinking that Cui Zhenlong's idea was a bit ambitious, and if it was really to be implemented, he might fall halfway before he could see the final result.

"Okay, let's be quiet and listen to me first!" Cui Zhenlong knocked on the table with his hand and reminded everyone present to pay attention to the order of the meeting, "I know that this variety show plan will encounter many difficulties in the specific implementation process, but this show itself is different from all previous variety show types, this is a kind of first!" So let me ask you a question first, what do you think of the idea of this show? ”

"Very good!!"

"Excellent! It's also positive! ”

"If it really succeeds, it will have a good propaganda effect on the army of our Republic of Korea!"

…….

Seeing that everyone agreed, Cui Zhenlong also nodded, and then said conclusively: "Everyone is right, if this variety show is really successful, then at least we have occupied the commanding heights in terms of concept, even the government and the army will open the door to us." But the actual problem now is that C.P.C&G and even C.P.C are not capable enough to promote the normal filming of this variety show, and we still need allies! ”

The new variety show that Cui Zhenlong said was a very famous inspirational reality show in his previous life - "Real Man"!

In fact, this program is to organize a group of artists to experience military life in the army, so that the audience in front of the TV can see the various performances of these artists in the army's high-intensity training and daily simple life. And the main selling point of this show is that it closely links the artist and the military.

If you put this show idea in other countries, it may not necessarily have a big positive effect, but it is different in South Korea. You must know that South Korea implements a compulsory military service system, which means that except for some special groups, every healthy adult male has to go through a military service, and of course, all male artists are also included.

And what do artists rely on to eat? It depends on popularity and popularity!

The speed of renewal in the Korean entertainment industry is dizzying, and the two-year window period can basically ruin an artist's previous career, the most typical example is Kim Jong Kook, who was the triple crown champion of the Korean music industry before his service, a hot and popular artist, but after retiring, he can only be reduced to starting again as a funny artist, and the gap is so big that not everyone can afford it.

Therefore, in South Korea, scandals of popular artists evading military service occur from time to time, the reasons are strange, the methods are endless, coupled with the particularity of the profession of artists, they are public figures, and their every move directly affects a group of people. And the national government will naturally not relax for such a typical person, and will severely punish one if there is one, and it can also play a role in killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

But even so, there are still artists who risk their lives, and it can only be said that they are really hard for their careers! (To be continued......)
