Chapter 684: EXO (Part II)
PS: PS: Thanks to the book friend 'kakuwinter' for the tip!! Thank you for your support!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Of course, Li Xiuman himself knew that the situation of 'Girls' Generation at that time was indeed not very good, and he had to face the pressure of the outside media and fans, even if he encountered such a situation in a strong heart, he would not be able to resist it. When the 'Girls' Generation couldn't see the 'future', Lee Hyun-ri caught a 'big fish' with a super big bait
Besides, the achievements of Girls' Generation at this time are directly related to Lee Hyun-li, first of all, Lee Hyun-ri made the perfect plan, plus the songs written by Lee Hyun-ri himself, and the album he produced. If at that time 'Girls' Generation was in S. In M's hands, they don't know how to meet the future of girls' generation. It happened that at this time, Lee Hyun-ri exchanged the shares of their company, and Kim Young-min, of course, threw away this 'money printing machine' in his heart as if he was 'losing his burden'.
Li Xiuman's heart aches every time he sees good grades in Girlhood, it's all money.
Li Xiu said angrily, "If you want my newcomer combination, you can exchange 5% of your shares in X Entertainment." ”
Li Xian immediately said: "Li Xiuman, you want money, you want crazy, right?" A newcomer in exchange for our 5% stake in X Entertainment? Do you know how much money we make in a year at X Entertainment? Aside from the investment in movies and TV dramas, just here in the song industry is at least 100 billion won a year, which is considered a movie and TV series, our company is at least 500 billion a year, and you want to change a new combination for 25 billion a year? It means that your harvest of a 'rookie group' is equivalent to the total income of 'Girls' Generation'? Are you dreaming? (Readers can see that it is guaranteed at 25 billion won)
Li Xiuman also laughed when he heard Li Xianli's angry words, "Hahaha", but he was still very surprised that he learned from Li Xianli that the annual income of X Entertainment was at least 500 billion. Still shocked. But when you look at it, the gap between their S.M and X Entertainment is clear.
S.M is indeed a very big weakness in movies, TV series, or actors, and they don't even dare to invest in TV series, but X Entertainment is different, the movies and TV series invested in, and the editors of their company have always been a golden signboard. It seems that there are no cases of failure in the scripts produced by X Entertainment, and the movies invested by X Entertainment are all in the category of big hits. It's true that this is hard power, and S.M and X Entertainment can't be compared at all.
Just when Lee Hyun-ri and Lee so-man were joking, the man with the stool came in and handed the stool to Lee Hyun-ri and Lee so-man. The two of them sat right in front of EXO. Lee Hyun-ri said, "Give me a performance with your debut song." ”
Li Xiuman also knew that it was impossible for Li Xianli to reveal the source of their sound. So he nodded and asked EXO's people to perform in front of Lee Hyun-ri, "Take out your strength and let Lee Hyun-ri take a look." Maybe Li Xianli is in a good mood and instructs you, and you will be of infinite use. ”
EXO's people went to play the music, and then started performing in front of Lee Hyun-ri. Li Xianli watched the performance with a smile, and then said to Li Xiuman: "You deliberately made it look like two groups." Are you ready to go to the Chinese market? ”
Li Xiuman smiled and said, "Hehe." Do you see that? Indeed, I am ready to divide into two detachments. One is on the Korean side, and the other is going to the Chinese/domestic market. What do you think of this combination? ”
Li Xianli looked at EXO, who was already sweating profusely, and nodded, "Well, it's a very good combination." The first album attracts, accumulates popularity, and then explodes on the second album. is a good choice. But if you want to break out, you'll have to look at the title song of your second album. When the time comes, you have to find a better song, the 13-year-old boy group has something to watch, hehe, by the way, Lao Li is not me who I really go to the Chinese/Chinese market to make music, and I am tired of a word, and the pirates over there will be enough to give you a headache. ”
"I know that, but it's easier to make money over there than here. I want to try to do commercial performances or shows over there, and I also want to test the waters. After all, the market over there is so big, and our side is saturated. It's not bad to go to China/China to dig up some FANS. Our men's group is better, but if your women's group enters there, it will be a little uneasy. ”
Li Xianli also really understands Li Xiuman's worries, "Yes, it's for this reason that we X Entertainment hasn't touched the market over there." If something happens, we can't save the fire from far away. ”
Then Li Xianli said to EXO, "You guys are very good, but you must know how to be polite when entering this circle." Don't think that a little success will make you look no further, BIGBANG doesn't dare to do that right now. Some seniors treat you like a handsome boy when the camera is on, and when the camera is turned off, it may not be necessary in private, maybe you will make them unhappy and give you small shoes. S.J is the best role model, even when "sorrysorry" was popular, he was the same 'head down' person. Bow and greet you, you will not lose a piece of meat, but you will be loved by your predecessors. ”
"Also, you're all young and vigorous, and you're impulsive at an age. But remember that in the entertainment industry, it is absolutely forbidden for juniors to wave their fists at their predecessors, even if the other party is making trouble unreasonably, they can't do it. Absolutely can't do it, as long as you do it, you're done, no matter how big the reason is, it's unreasonable, remember. ”
The twelve members of EXO all thanked Lee Hyun-ri, "Thank you Lee Hyun-ri for your teachings, we will take it to heart." ”
Li Xiuman also said, "Xianli is right, politeness is the foundation in the entertainment industry." You have all given me these words to remember these words and have memorized them to death. ”
The people at EXO all replied, "Yes!!" Li Xiuman, who heard EXO's answer, nodded with satisfaction. Li Xianli also smiled and said to Li Xiuman, "Let's go, don't disturb them to practice." ”
Lee Hyun-ri and Lee so-man walked out of EXO's practice room, and Lee so-man said, "Hyun-ri, do you think you should write a song for them?" Didn't you all say that their second album was very important. Since you're also optimistic about those boys, how about you write a song for them? I'm sure they won't insult the songs you wrote. ”
Li Xianli smiled and said, "You have made a good calculation, I used to owe you favors, and I wrote songs for you, I think it is to repay the debt of favors." As a result, the "sorrysorry" written for you helped you push S.J to the throne of the first-line boy group. Now that there is a new person in your company, you have to hit me with the idea, so I can't say it. ”
Li Xiuman said with a smile: "If you think about Xianli like this, S.J, they also earned you a lot of copyright fees for singing your songs." They spread the word to the masses and let everyone know that you wrote the song. ”
Hearing Li Xiuman's words, Li Xian immediately said contemptuously, "Hehe, that bit of copyright fee is useless, how much did S.J earn you with my songs?" Why don't you say a red envelope to thank me? Coming back this time? I'm not so stupid, you have a composer in your company looking for him. In my own company, there are a bunch of hungry 'wolves' with glowing eyes, and they keep an eye on me all the time. ”
Lee so-man can also understand Lee Hyun-ri, so many girl groups under their X Entertainment are waiting for Lee Hyun-ri's song. If Li Xianli is asked to write songs for people from other companies at this time, it will indeed cause dissatisfaction among the company.
Of course, Li Xiuman would not give up so easily, and still insisted and said, "Xianli, things are always negotiable, why don't I buy their songs for 500 million this time?" The copyright is still left to you. ”
"If you give me 20% of the total revenue of the whole EXO over the course of a year, I can think about it and help them make their next album." Li Xianli also directly opened his mouth, directly asking for 20% of EXO's total income in a year.
Of course, it is impossible for Li Xianli's lion to open his mouth, and it is completely impossible to ask for 20% of his income, Li Xiuman also laughed, "Hehe Xianli, this thing is impossible at all, or I will pay 700 million, this is the highest price I can offer." ”
Li Xianli nodded: "Aren't they just debuting now?" You're thinking about the rest of the story? Let's talk about this later. Well, during this time, I first found inspiration to try to write it, after all, I haven't written a song suitable for a boy group for a long time. If you write it, I'll give it to you, and if I can't write it, I can't help it. That's a good suggestion, right? ”
"Well, their second album is early, so you can try to write it. This matter will trouble you, Xianli. ”
"What's the trouble or not, you're going to have to pay anyway. Oh, okay, you go up, I'm going to go out to dinner with S.J, I just met them and said that we would eat together in the evening. ”
Li Xiuman smiled and went upstairs to his office, and Li Xianli also ran to S.J's practice room. Lee Hyun-ri opened the S.J practice room, and all the SJ people sat on the floor to rest. Seeing Li Xianli coming in, they all stood up and greeted, "Senior Li Xianli (brother)"
Li Xianli smiled and walked in and patted the prodigy on the shoulder, "Sit down, start resting?" The group was all sitting on the floor of the practice room.
The prodigy smiled and replied, "Well, we've been practicing dancing for more than an hour, and we're going to take a break." ”
Li Xianli looked at the time and saw that it was already past 6 o'clock, so he said to S.J's people, "Oh, it's about the same time now, let's go, let's go out to eat together." When you're full, you have the strength to keep practicing, right? ”
The prodigy smiled and said, "Brother Xianli, do you want to have a treat?" (To be continued......)
