Chapter 638: Discussion; See
Hearing that TVXQ would almost definitely disband, Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, since this is the case, why don't we take the opportunity to recruit these three members of TVXQ into our company?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan groaned slightly: "There must be a good time." Let's wait and see what happens to the court, and then check who is behind them, what is the purpose of this person, and whether there is any conflict with our plans? ”
To be honest, Zhang Chengyuan didn't really want to meddle in this matter, although he was not afraid of the S.M. company, but he didn't want to get into trouble with them, after all, many of his sisters were still under the S.M. company, and they needed to make them popular or more popular. But since Lim Ji-so wants to recruit Kim Jae-jung in order to improve the strength and fame of JSW's singers in a short period of time, then he will fulfill her. Of course, the premise is to deal with the matter in a more tactful way to avoid conflicts with S.M. as much as possible. If there is really no way to settle the matter amicably, then just quit at that time, and if this happens, S.M. will not have any opinion.
Lin Zhixiu thought for a while and said: "It's okay, this case will be heard in two days, then there will be a result in two or three months at most, and when the court decides that their contract with S.M. is invalid, we will not cause controversy if we contact them again." And during this time, I will find someone to check on them. ”
In fact, she was a little worried that it would be too late to make a move by that time, but she couldn't help but obey Zhang Chengyuan's order.
"Oh, by the way, what the hell are they fighting with S.M. for?" Zhang Chengyuan asked.
Lin Zhixiu said: "These three people are saying that the contract signed by S.M. with them is too long. Unfair distribution of benefits. S.M., on the other hand, argued that the contract was reasonable. That's why it's what it is today. It is because of the contradiction with the cosmetics company invested by the three people, such as the right to the portrait. ”
Zhang Chengyuan asked, "How long is the contract?" ”
"13 years."
"What about the distribution of benefits?"
"There are several ways to distribute it, but it's generally 4:6. S.M. accounted for 60 percent. ”
Zhang Chengyuan sneered: "The appearance of S.M. is quite ugly. If I were TVXQ, I'm afraid I would have asked for the termination of the contract a long time ago. ”
It's no wonder he laughed at S.M., because the distribution of the benefits of famous artists under JSW usually accounts for 80% or 70% of all their earnings, and at least 60% of their profits. The contract period is usually two to three years, and at most only five years. An artist with such a high popularity and high ability to attract money as TVXQ. If you go to his company, you can get at least 70% of the profits.
Smiling, he asked again, "What's the matter with portrait rights?" ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "I don't know very well, I heard that the company invested by these three members used the fame of the three of them to promote without the permission of S.M. Company. ”
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "If this is the case, then at this point, these three people are not very appropriate, since they are members of the group, then take into account the ideas of other members, if you must engage in a side business, don't use your fame to do publicity and solicit business." ”
When he was still at LogosFilms. Although he also invested in cafes and western restaurants, he never promoted it in his own name. So that advertisers of the same type do not come to him again, causing losses to the company. That's why he felt that Kim Jae-jung's approach was a bit too much. Of course, the benevolent and the wise have their own opinions, and it cannot be said that his views are correct.
Lin Zhixiu smiled: "Boss, how can they compare with you?" They don't have any special skills, and if they want to make more money easily, they naturally have to make good use of their popularity. You must know that popularity is a thing, and it will be invalid when it expires. ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled, nodded and said, "That makes sense." Well, let's not talk about that. I think that after these three people filed a lawsuit, the stock price of S.M. must have fallen a lot, right? ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "It did fall a lot, and three days after the incident, the stock price of S.M. fell by about 15%, but S.M. reacted in a timely manner and quickly stopped the decline, so I didn't buy many shares." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "It doesn't matter, a little bit adds up, and one point is a little." If we think about the way S.M. treats artists, we will have a lot of opportunities in the future. Oh, by the way, isn't there another lawsuit, how is the progress of Zhang Ziyan's case? ”
Lin Zhixiu sighed when he heard this: "Except for Jin Chengxun, the owner of Zhang Ziyan's original brokerage company, and Liu Changhao, the agent who made Zhang Ziyan's suicide note, were prosecuted, the rest of the suspects were exempted from prosecution and acquitted due to insufficient evidence. The police and prosecutors are also too incompetent. ”
Zhang Chengyuan sneered and said, "I guessed that this case would not be investigated in depth, and I didn't want it to be so!" However, it is not that they are too incompetent, but that there are people above who put pressure on them to keep them from pursuing it further. Moreover, there is really no very definite evidence, even if you know the truth of the matter, sometimes you still have to let the criminals go. Isn't this kind of thing commonplace in film and television works? So you don't need to worry too much. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "So boss, what should we do?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Have you found any evidence?" ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "No. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Since there is none, then this matter will be put aside first, I have a hunch that this matter will definitely not end so easily, let's wait for the time being, and then decide what to do after there is more accurate news." ”
He also didn't want to intervene in this case very much, at least not too early, so he just wanted to watch from the sidelines for the time being.
Lin Zhixiu really hopes that Zhang Chengyuan can solve the case as soon as possible, but since Zhang Chengyuan has decided so, she can't oppose it.
Other topics were discussed, such as the sisters' situation, company and personal affairs, and so on, until about three o'clock in the morning, when the two fell asleep in their arms.
……
Early the next morning, Zhang Chengyuan had breakfast and chatted with Li Zhien, who got up early, and then rushed to the "IRIS" crew to film. This filming took another whole day, and it wasn't until about ten o'clock that night that he left the crew with Kim Tae-hee, first spent half an hour with her at her house and warmed up for a while, and then said goodbye and left.
On the way, Mr. Jang called Mr. Lim and asked for the address of Ms. Park's dormitory, and then immediately drove there — he wanted to meet her. Due to going abroad to film, he couldn't support her debut stage, and he inevitably felt a little guilty, so he wanted to see her at this time to show his value for her.
When he came to the downstairs of the apartment building where her dormitory was located, he dialed his mobile phone number, only to find that her mobile phone seemed to be turned off.
Coming to the door of T-ara's dormitory, Zhang Chengyuan rang the doorbell, and after a while, a person came out and opened the door, and when he saw Zhang Chengyuan, he was immediately stunned.
Jang Sung-won recognized this person as T-ara's old Park Ji-yeon, so he smiled and said, "Ji-yeon, hello, I'm looking for Xuanying, you can help me call her out." ”
Park Ji-yeon came to her senses, hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then said, "Sung Won oppa, you better come in and sit down for a while." Although boys have always been forbidden to enter the girls' dormitory, Jang Sung-won, as Park Xuanying's brother, is a special case.
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head slightly and said, "No, it's too late, it's inconvenient for me to go in, you can call Xuanying out." ”
"Okay, I'll call you for you." Bowing to Jang Sung-won again, Park Ji-yeon turned and went in.
After a while, Jang Sung-won heard the sound of dressing and shoes coming from inside, and then saw all six members of T-ara hurriedly walking out, filling the entrance. After seeing Zhang Chengyuan, they immediately saluted and greeted him. Zhang Chengyuan immediately returned the salute.
Park Xuanying asked, "Uncle, why are you here?" Looking for me? ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Naturally, there is something, what am I doing here when I have nothing to do?" Okay, let's not talk about it yet, let's go out with me. ”
Park Xuanying nodded, and immediately changed his shoes.
Park Suyan suddenly said: "Brother Cheng Yuan, since you have arrived at the door, why don't you come in and sit for a while?" As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Chengyuan's left hand. Seeing this, the other members also opened their mouths to invite Jang Sung-won, and Park Ji-yeon even stepped forward boldly and grabbed Jang Sung-won's other hand. I don't know if it's because she's still young, but she's not particularly afraid of Zhang Chengyuan's might.
"Okay, then I'll go in and sit down for a while." It's hard to be gracious, and if you don't go in, it won't be good for these girls to misunderstand that he looks down on them.
He immediately took off his shoes and walked in, and since there were no big slippers for him to wear, he simply went in with his socks on. sat in the living room for a while, drank a cup of hot water, chatted with them for a few words, and then looked at the inside of the house, especially Park Xuanying's room, and then he took Park Xuanying out. This time, the daughters will no longer be retained, so as not to delay Zhang Chengyuan's precious time. Moreover, Zhang Chengyuan can come in and sit for a while, which is already very face-saving for them.
Walking downstairs, Jang Sung-won and Park Seon-young got into his car - it was more convenient to talk in the car and not be seen.
Park Xuanying asked again: "Uncle, do you have anything to do with me?"
Zhang Chengyuan said: "That is, to ask about your current situation." How's it going, after your debut, how are you doing? ”
Park Xuanying said: "It's okay, except for a little more announcements and a little more knowledge, it seems that it is no different from when I was a trainee before, and most of the time I was practicing." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "You have just debuted now, you don't have much popularity, so you are naturally idle, but after you have enough popularity, I am afraid that you will not have time to rest if you want to rest at that time." So while you have time now, you can cultivate your body and mind, and by the way, practice the qigong I taught you before, so as to improve some of your physique and prepare for the future. ”
Park Xuanying replied casually nonchalantly, and then said, "Uncle, if you really care for me, can you help us solve our living conditions?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "What, you want to get benefits from me again?" (To be continued......)
