Chapter 574 Corporate Affairs; Singer debut?
When he stayed at Ha Ji Won's house until eight o'clock in the evening, Jang Sung Won said goodbye and left, the New Year is coming, and he will enter the crew tomorrow to start filming, so he still has something to discuss and explain to Lin Ji Won, so he can't accompany Ha Ji Won all night.
Ha Ji Won knew that he was busy and there were many women, so he didn't force him to stay, and she was really afraid that if Zhang Chengyuan stayed tonight, he would ask for her again, and then she wouldn't be able to bear it. Every time she was happy with Zhang Chengyuan, she understood a little bit that Cheng Youli would condone Zhang Chengyuan to find a woman outside.
Back at Lin Jixiu's apartment, it was only half past eight, Jang Sung-won thought that Lin Ji-so should not have gotten off work yet, but he didn't want her and Park Xuanying and Lee Ji-eun to have already returned.
When Park Xuanying saw him, he immediately ran up and took his hand and said, "Uncle, why did you come back, we are all hungry." As he spoke, he pulled him in the direction of the dining table. And Li Zhien hurriedly stood up and saluted respectfully: "Brother Cheng Yuan, you are back." ”
Lin Zhixiu smiled at Zhang Chengyuan, then walked over and took off his coat for him, shook it gently, and hung it on the hanger next to him.
Jang Sung-won said hello to Lee Ji-eun and Lim Ji-so, and let Park Xuanying pull him away, but he knocked her on the head twice, which was regarded as a punishment for her impoliteness. Park Xuanying didn't care, she just wanted to eat now.
Seeing this, Lin Jixiu shook his head, and pulled Li Ji-eun to follow.
When he arrived at the table, Zhang Chengyuan looked at the dishes on the table and couldn't help asking, "It's past eight o'clock, why haven't you eaten yet, won't you just wait for me to come back?" ”
Park Xuanying said angrily: "Who are you waiting for?" Didn't you say you'd be here tonight? Sister Jisoo got off work early and made dinner for you. And Ji-eun also ended today's practice early. Ready to wait for you for dinner. But you came so late? ”
Zhang Chengyuan was slightly stunned, and then said a little apologetically: "It's me who made you wait for a long time." Well, without further ado, you're all starving, aren't you? Then sit down and eat right away. ”
As he spoke, he sat down first, then lifted the lid that covered the dish and kept it warm, and took another bite with his chopsticks. Ate it. In fact, he had just had dinner with Ha Ji Won, but the hospitality of Lim Ji so and the others could not be disappointed, so he ate again. Anyway, he can eat with his appetite.
Lin Zhixiu quickly removed all the lids, and then said, "Boss, I'll go serve you dinner." As he spoke, he was about to walk away. Zhang Chengyuan grabbed her, asked her to sit down, and said, "No need, you have worked hard, sit down and eat first." When it comes to serving meals, just let Xuanying do it. ”
Park Xuanying glared at Jang Sung-won. Seemingly reluctantly, he said, "Why should I serve you dinner?" He said so, but walked quickly to the kitchen.
Li Zhien immediately said: "Sister Xuanying, I'll help you." "I went in with him.
Lin Jisoo glanced at Park Xuanying and Lee Ji-eun, then retracted his gaze and said in a low voice: "Boss, I'm sorry, I misunderstood what you meant." You seem to have only said you'd come over tonight, but you didn't say you wanted to have dinner together. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile: "I think it's not that you misunderstood, you may just want to prepare a supper for me, but the two little girls may mistakenly think that they want to have dinner with me, so they specially waited for me to come back for dinner." It's nothing, though, and you don't have to mind. Well, you can start eating too. He casually sandwiched a piece of pork ribs and put it in an empty bowl in front of Lin Zhixiu.
Lin Jixiu smiled, picked up the chopsticks and ate them.
……
After eating, Jang Sung-won chatted with Park Xuanying and Lee Ji-eun respectively, and then asked them to go back to the house to rest, and he also hugged Lim Ji-so back to the room.
Leaning on the bed, Zhang Chengyuan said: "Jisoo, there is something you need to follow up, today I met with actress Han Yise and invited her to join our company, she is a little moved, I should call you in the next two days, you pay attention." ”
Lin Zhixiu responded: "I know what I said, but, boss, what kind of conditions do we need to give to sign this Han Yise?" Do you have a ...... with Han Yise?" she stopped in the middle of speaking.
Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "You want to ask me what special relationship I have with Han Yise, right?" But you think too much, I don't have any special friendship with Han Yise, and I've only met three or four times in total, and today is the first time I've met her privately alone, so you don't need to worry about me about signing the contract. It's just that she can be regarded as a first-line actor after all, so the conditions we give her can't be too bad, at least not worse than what others give, and of course, there is no need to compare it with Sister Zhen'er's contract. ”
After hearing what Zhang Chengyuan said, Lin Zhixiu knew how to grasp it, so he didn't ask anymore, and nodded immediately.
"Well, speaking of contracts, I think of Takai and Jungi coming, how is their contract going, have you signed it?" Zhang Chengyuan asked.
Lin Zhixiu said: "Two days ago, Duohai came to the company to find me, and I signed the contract without looking at it. However, Mr. Lee Joon-gi's contract with our company is still under negotiation. ”
Zhang Chengyuan asked, "Is Jungji not satisfied with the conditions we gave?" ”
Lin Zhixiu muttered: "It shouldn't be, the conditions we gave are already very generous, almost the same as you, it is impossible for him to be dissatisfied!" I think it must be something else, uh, maybe he wants to set up his own economic company? Not many big-name artists are like this now. ”
"If he really thinks that way, forget it. Although I am good friends with him, I can't force him. After all, no matter how much I take care of him, it is not as comfortable as him being the boss himself, didn't I have this kind of thought before to part ways with Brother Park? Zhang Chengyuan said with a slight sigh.
"But if that's the case, it's a pity."
Zhang Chengyuan muttered: "You can continue to follow up on this matter, if Zhun Gi has the idea of cooperating with us, then sign him, if not, then forget it." ”
Lin Jixiu nodded and agreed.
Zhang Chengyuan thought about it for a while, and then ordered: "This year, I want to take advantage of the economic downturn to expand the scale of our company, so you have to pay more attention to some big-name artists and potential newcomers whose contracts are about to expire for me." And try to check them all in. Of course. This kind of thing. Sometimes I can't help it, after all, the strength of our company is not enough, but how many can we sign.
Well, if you feel that there are too few talents to shape, you can recruit some trainees from large companies such as S.M. and JYP, or contact some acting academies and vocal schools in various places. Let them refer talent, and we give them some referral fee. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "I'm already preparing for the expansion of trainees, but, boss, it doesn't seem like a big deal for your company to let our company recruit trainees from other big companies, right?" In doing so, it's easy to make enemies in the industry. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's naturally not good to recruit directly, but you can secretly carry out some publicity and give our company preferential treatment to trainees in all aspects." Promote the appearance of the trainees under our company or other channels to attract some trainees who are not interested in other companies to come to our company for interviews. Then select some of them with potential to enrich our trainee team.
Well, it's not just us who do this kind of thing, but other new brokerage companies that probably do the same, so there's nothing to worry about. Anyway, for those big companies, this little trick will never shake their foundations. But for a small company like ours, it's a great way to save time. Oh, by the way, how is the current situation of our company's trainees, and is there anyone who can make their debut this year? ”
Lin Zhixiu shook his head and said: "Although the company's trainees are very hard-working, they basically can't meet the standard of debut in a short period of time, and because there is not much expansion during this time, there are few new talents found." Well, if you have to push the newcomer to debut, then it seems that at present, only a few actor trainees such as Kim Ji Won, Lee Yoo Fei, and Kim Hyun can be pushed to make their debut, but they are still a little immature.
As for the singers, because your requirement is to cultivate a girl group first, and there are too few desirable candidates, you can't make up an excellent group at all, so if you can't replenish fresh blood as soon as possible, then there will be absolutely no way to launch a girl group this year. ”
Zhang Chengyuan pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that this matter really can't be rushed, so you can watch it for the time being, and then launch the girl group when the time is ripe." ”
Lin Zhixiu suddenly said: "Boss, have you ever thought about launching another SOLO singer?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "It's not good, Ji Eun hasn't gained a firm foothold yet, and he is in a hurry to launch a new SOLO singer, which is obviously a bit reckless, and this will compete with Ji Eun for resources." ”
Lin Jixiu said: "I mean male singers. ”
Zhang Chengyuan muttered: "If it is a SOLO male singer, there should be no conflict with Ji-eun, and sometimes it can be complementary to Ji-eun, which can be considered." However, do we have the talent in this area? Didn't you say before that our company is still weak in terms of male singer trainees. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "There are no trainees, but you can, boss." ”
"Me?" Zhang Chengyuan said a little stunned. He never thought of becoming a professional singer, and he just sang a few times once in a while.
Lin Zhixiu said: "Yes, boss, with your current singing strength, it is enough to be comparable to a first-class male singer in South Korea, and if you add the charm ability of your Yuan Shen power, it will be even more enough to make your singing voice fall for thousands of fans." I believe that if you make your debut as a lyric singer, you will definitely become the new lyrical king of Korea at an astonishing rate, even if you don't consider your current fame and popularity. In this way, we can fill the vacancy in our company's male singer department as quickly as possible and grow our company even more. ”
Zhang Chengyuan hesitated: "Although your idea is very good, I have always been busy filming, how can I have time to be a singer?" And if I have to set aside part of my time to be a singer, it will inevitably affect my acting career, and in comparison, the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said, "Boss, have you forgotten that you still have a Yuan Shen clone?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan also laughed when he heard this: "Zhixiu, you really dare to think about it, but it is indeed a very good idea to let my Yuan Shen clone be a singer, and it just so happens that my third Yuan Shen clone is almost about to be cultivated." ”
"The third? Isn't it the second? Lin Zhixiu said with some doubts.
"It's really the third, and the second one I've given to Sister Taixi to let him be her companion, but for some reason, the cultivation progress is slower than the third, and it hasn't been completed yet." In the end, he was still embarrassed to tell Lin Jixiu about the second Yuan Shen being asked by Kim Tae-hee to turn into a cat and delay his cultivation, after all, it would damage his face.
Fortunately, although Lin Zhixiu was confused, he didn't delve into it and said, "Boss, since you are willing to let your third primordial god clone be a singer, then I will let the relevant departments make some preparations." ”
"Well, it's time to prepare, and since you've made a decision, it's time to finish it sooner. Well, my third god clone should be born next month, plus some time to fake identity, education, past experience, etc., then he can appear in South Korea at the end of February or early March, and then after a little training for ten days and half a month, let him record a song and make his debut. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "This time, what kind of identity do you want to put on your clone, is it still a Chinese-American?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It's nothing to be American, it's more convenient, and you can avoid military service, but the Chinese identity will definitely be greatly suppressed in the Korean entertainment industry, which will make my doppelganger unable to succeed as soon as possible, so it's not very suitable, so it's hard to change to Korean." ”
"What about the name, age, and background?"
"Let's talk about this later, it's quite exhausting to think about it carefully, so I'm not in a hurry to discuss this tonight. Or help me think about it when you have time. (To be continued......)
