371. Lee Jun-hyuk's actions
Because of the company's arrangement, SJ and TVXQ members were silent. Other companies even watched the excitement of SM with the mentality that it was none of their business.
Girls' Generation, who became the center of the storm of public opinion, was suddenly pushed to the edge of the cliff. In addition to Taeyeon, who became popular because of OST, and Yoona, who is filming the hit drama "You Are My Destiny", the two are still working hard to support the team. All the other members' activities were forced to be canceled, especially Zheng Xiuyan, because of the previous scandal, she received the most boycotts and abuses in the team.
Not only that, but the planning of the new project "DQ" that had been launched by Girls' Generation was also stopped, and all kinds of plans made for Girls' Generation were stillborn.
As for the future of Girls' Generation, SM did not directly give a clear statement. This has also become the source of worry in the hearts of the girls, between the development of the girl groups that debuted before SM company, that is, the development of their predecessors in the girl group, it seems that it is not impossible to be disbanded.
As soon as the incident happened, Kim Jung-hyun informed Lee Jun-hyuk of this matter, she knew that several girls from Girls' Generation, especially Jung so-yeon, were his Lee Jun-hyuk's heart, and if such a big thing happened to him, it is estimated that Lee Jun-hyuk, who has always been good-tempered, would also be angry.
It's just that after learning the news, Lee Jun-hyuk's appearance was beyond Kim Jung-hyun's expectations, and after listening to Kim Jung-hyun tell the whole thing, Lee Jun-hyuk simply said that he knew, other than that. There was no more expression, and the flatness in his tone didn't seem like it was made on purpose.
Fortunately, Kim Jung-hyun is used to Lee Jun-hyuk's calm and breezy appearance, and anyway, the things of girlhood can't help much with her ability. All she can do is continue to follow the development of the situation and inform Lee Jun Hyuk that the rest depends on what Lee Jun Hyuk does.
Whether Lee Jun-hyuk is really so calm, no one knows except himself, but when it comes to whether he has the ability to help, it is certain.
Just three days after the events on the "Black Sea". Lee so-man and Kim Young-min, the No. 1 and No. 2 people of SM Company, and Yu Yongzhen, the chief music producer of SM Company, put down the issue of development after Girls' Generation that they were discussing and hurriedly boarded the plane to New York.
The reason they flew to New York in a hurry was to be able to customize the new batch of music sources and corresponding music equipment developed by Lee Jun-hyuk's studio.
Compared to the things of girlhood. This batch of new audio source equipment, which they have just learned the news, is undoubtedly more important for the future development of the company. SM is known as the leader of the Korean music industry, and the fundamental reason is that their star-making ability is unmatched. But as the core figures of the company, all three people know it. The so-called root of star-making ability. This is because all of the company's songs are based on the representative style of the so-called Kpop, which is the style of Korean modern dance music.
The new equipment and sound sources developed by Lee Jun-hyuk's studio can raise the genre of Kpop dance music, which requires a variety of music and extremely gorgeous timbre, to a higher level.
In other words, with the same arrangement, if there are these new equipment sound sources, then in terms of audio-visual feeling, it can give the audience a higher level of experience. That is, with this batch of equipment. The power of SM's dance music style will be even more powerful, and the strength of the company. It will also become stronger. This will undoubtedly play a vital role in future development.
It's just that their news got a little late, and when Yu Yongzhen got the news, it seemed that the first batch of 60 sets of equipment from the producer had all been ordered, and according to the follow-up news from the producer, the second batch of equipment would not be available for reservation until at least a year later.
Yes, when Lee Jun-hyuk formulated the first sales method, he only accepted an order for 60 sets of equipment, and there were no more sets of equipment than that.
Why is there so little equipment in the first batch, this is not the so-called hunger marketing, but according to the production capacity of this studio set up by Lee Jun-hyuk, it can only supply so much at present.
Don't underestimate this mere 60 sets, you know, because the new sound source synthesis method is fundamentally different from the old music source, so the new music source is absolutely not compatible with the previous equipment, in this way, if you want to use the new music source, you have to buy the corresponding new equipment, and in order to maximize the profits, Li Junhyuk has redesigned and manufactured all the necessary equipment around this new music source, and again, they are independent and will not be compatible with any other equipment. (Just like the iPhone now)
In this case, if you want to use this new equipment, you have to buy a complete set of equipment.
Lee Jun-hyuk's move is not insignificant, not only does his practice not only cause huge profits from the sale of equipment, but also ensure the confidentiality of the audio source to the greatest extent and reduce the possibility of the music source being pirated.
The $5 million price for a new piece of equipment may sound prohibitive, but it's surprisingly low for studios with top musicians in the industry who can often make tens of millions of dollars. Of course, this is only the price of the first batch of equipment, and in Lee Jun-hyuk's subsequent plans, it is natural to produce corresponding high-end equipment and some relatively low-end civilian equipment.
This is the advantage of mastering the most advanced resources, or monopoly, a studio with only 20 people, just because it has the most advanced sound sources in the world, it sold the first batch of equipment at the end of the first year of its establishment, it sold 300 million US dollars, in addition to the cost of production and the previous contract with IBM, just the first batch of sales, the studio's net income reached 140 million US dollars. After the share of their respective shares, most of these young people who are students or have just graduated have become millionaires.
As for the owner of this studio, Lee Jun-hyuk, the core of the music source research team, the head of team management and marketing planning, is only a billionaire.
This shows how huge the profits of this new thing are. Of course, this is all temporary, Li Junhe knows very well, in addition to the second batch of equipment can also make some more money, and after that, there will be no such big profits, after all, from the second batch of equipment, there will be high-end and low-end equipment at two prices. Coupled with the saturation of the music market, after the second batch of equipment is released, there will be no such people who buy equipment in large quantities. At that time, the focus of the studio will shift to the update of new music sources, and the studio's first work will be regarded as entering the normal company model, and then the main profit method will also become relying on the sale of music sources, and the studio will officially enter the marketing model of thin water and long-term flow.
To get back to the point, although I have heard that the first batch of equipment has been ordered, but because this batch of equipment is too important for the current SM, Li Xiuman decided to go to New York anyway, in order to maximize the opportunity to order equipment, he flew to New York with the company's president Kim Young-min and the company's chief music producer Yu Yongzhen.
After arriving in New York, the three of them used their connections in the American entertainment industry to seek the opportunity to order this batch of equipment, but unfortunately, the people they were able to find let alone help them, even these people themselves failed to get the first batch of orders, and they are still secretly worried. There's nothing you can do about it.
In this way, after spending three days in New York, the three of them visited almost all the people they knew, and in the end they did not gain anything.
In the end, the three of them, who really had no choice, simply went directly to the studio that developed the new sound source to see if there was any chance.
What they didn't expect was that the mysterious owner of the studio, which few people knew about even in New York, would simply accept their visit...... (To be continued......)
