Chapter 655: Progress of the Proceedings; New blood

After Li Dahai fell asleep, Zhang Chengyuan went to Lin Zhixiu's room next door, woke her up, asked for a return, and then talked to her about some things that had happened in the nearly two months since he left.

As soon as Lim Jisoo opened his mouth, he was talking about the lawsuit between the three members of TVXQ, Kim Jae-joong, Park Youtian, and Kim Jun-so and S.M. Company.

At this time, the preliminary judgment of the lawsuit had been issued, and the Seoul Central District Court temporarily ruled that part of their contract with S.M. was invalid, and that S.M. could not interfere with their personal development or arrange their work without their consent. The three of them could not sign contracts with other brokerage companies until the court made a final decision. Other issues, such as the distribution of earnings between them and S.M., have not yet been decided.

In this regard, Kim Jae-jung and the three were quite satisfied, and claimed that they would not consider independent development for the time being. S.M., on the other hand, held a press conference to publicly express its dissatisfaction with the ruling and that they would be ready to appeal.

On the reporter's note, they also published an official document explaining in detail the inside story of the termination of the contract between Kim Jae-jung and S.M., and attached the attitude of two other TVXQ members, Jung Yoon-ho and Shim Chang-min, and their parents on the termination. Roughly speaking, the contract between TVXQ and S.M. was not unfair, and the dispute arose from the benefits of Kim Jae-chug's cosmetics business.

In addition, S.M. also stated that it will make a series of improvements in the future to prevent similar things from happening again, and advocate that the entertainment industry and relevant government departments such as the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the Fair Trade Commission, academia, the Diet and other legislatures jointly negotiate and formulate a new exclusive standard contract, or formulate a contract code certified by a notary public and has legal effect.

At this time, Zhang Chengyuan listened. Hehe smiled. Disapprovingly, he said, "S.M. is quite good at creating public opinion. However, what was said was useless, and it would take at least five years for so many departments to work out a standard contract, and it would not even be possible to join forces to do such a thing. If it had been so kind, it would not have had so many contract terminations and controversies in the past decade. Of course, this incident should give them a warning and urge them to improve the treatment of their artists. From this point of view, these three members of TVXQ. has made a certain contribution to the entertainment industry. ”

Lim Ji-so said with a smile: "But S.M. and many other brokerage companies believe that their move has caused great chaos in the entertainment industry, and if other artists follow suit, it will cause great harm to the entire Korean cultural industry, and even lead to the destruction of the Korean Wave phenomenon." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said disdainfully: "Those economic companies really put gold on their faces, do they really think that the Korean Wave phenomenon was created by them alone?" Over the years, artists have been squeezed for so long, and it is time to relax and slow down. Well, by the way, have you found out that Kim is behind the middle guys? ”

Lin Zhixiu's face sank slightly. Shaking her head and saying: "I didn't find out which brokerage company secretly supported them, maybe they didn't ...... behind the scenes" She herself didn't believe it. So halfway through the conversation, it was stopped.

Zhang Chengyuan said indifferently: "If you can't find it, you don't need to check it, maybe you really don't." Well, have you sent someone to contact them? ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "No. I won't do that without your permission. However, their parents did come to see me, as if to test whether we were interested in Kim's brokerage. ”

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "It seems that our company is still somewhat attractive in the entertainment industry now, and we can actually let them take the initiative to come to the door." ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "Maybe they think that the boss is one of the few people who can compete with Li Xiuman and S.M Company." They're looking for you, you're in the right place! In her words, there seemed to be a hint of persuading Jang Sung-won to take the opportunity to sign Kim Jae-jung.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I'm not afraid of Li Xiuman, but although I have a bit of a conflict of interests with Li Xiuman now, I basically don't interfere with the river water from the well, so I can use it to fight Li Xiuman for them?" Besides, they don't necessarily take me seriously, and if I help them now, they won't necessarily appreciate me! If there is such a thing as terminating the contract after signing a contract with me in the future, won't I suffer a big loss? ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "What do you mean, boss?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said in a deep voice: "Let's wait and see what happens!" Don't look at them to win the lawsuit soon, but S.M. has a way to make it difficult for them to move forward in the entertainment industry, and we can wait until they are downtrodden in the future to help, because only in this way will they know how to cherish their hard-won stability. Then you will be more disciplined in the future. ”

Speaking of which, although Zhang Chengyuan is very inconspicuous about the S.M. company's exploitation of artists, he also has a lot of complaints about Kim Jae-zhong's behavior of taking on private work outside, after all, he is now the boss of a company. Therefore, he felt that he had to borrow the hand of S.M. and teach them a lesson, so that they would not be arrogant in the future, and they would follow some necessary rules. Of course, if he signs them, he will not treat them poorly, and the treatment and benefits that should be given will never be lacking.

Lin Zhixiu nodded and said, "I will continue to pay attention to them, but if other companies sign them first in the future, then what should we do?" ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Presumably, no big companies will sign them, because their savings will definitely cause an unstable situation for those big companies, and this is not something that can be compensated for by the benefits that may be earned from them." So the only one who can sign them is a small company. So why should we worry? It's a big deal that we will buy this company in the future, aren't you used to doing this kind of thing? ”

Lin Zhixiu smiled slightly: "I understand." Oh, by the way, boss, I've bought Kim Ha-na's company, J.OnePlus Entertainment, and there's one more bonus. ”

"Surprise? What is it? ”

Lim Ji-so said: "When I acquired J.OnePlus Entertainment, the company's representative Kim Hyo-jin had just signed Han Ga-in, so that's it. When the acquisition is completed. Han Jiaren took advantage of the trend to become an artist under our company. ”

"Han Jiaren? It was a bonus. In the entertainment industry, a female artist like her who has been married for many years but still maintains a very high popularity. It's not much. In the future, the female artists of our company should learn from her. However, that Kim Hyo-jin is even more amazing, which can not only make Kim Ha-na return to her heart, but also make Han Jiaren willing to sign a contract with her, she is definitely a talent, how did you arrange her? He believes that Lin Jixiu will not let go of this kind of talent.

Lim Ji-so said: "I asked her to be the deputy director of our company's artist management department, alongside the original deputy ministers, and continued to put her in charge of managing the artists and agents of the former J.OnePlus Entertainment, such as Kim Ha Na and Han Ga-in. ”

The head of JSW's artist management department is headed by Lim Ji-so. And Zhang Chengyuan almost doesn't care about things, so the position and power of the deputy minister are already very high, so with this arrangement, Lin Zhixiu can be regarded as a good use of people.

Zhang Chengyuan nodded, expressing his approval of her arrangement, paused, and said, "What about Han Xiaozhu?" Did you sign a contract with her? ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "I signed it, in the middle of last month, after her contract with the original company expired, I signed a contract with her immediately." She's extremely popular right now. Just after she held a press conference with Kim Ha Na, Han Jiaren and others, many advertisers came to her to endorse. Of course, the same goes for Kim Ha Na and Han Ga-in. ”

Zhang Chengyuan nodded again, not surprising, under normal circumstances, if the artist's contract is only a few months left, even if the popularity is very high, most advertisers dare not look for them to endorse, so as not to cause certain economic disputes if the artist's agency contract expires and the advertising contract does not expire.

Zhang Chengyuan said: "She is a potential stock, and her future should be good, so if there is a corner cesium suitable for her or the corner she wants to play in the future, try to help her fight for it." ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "This should be no problem, now there are many companies looking for our company to invest, and it is not too difficult to arrange suitable angle cesium for our company's artists." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "I believe this, but you have to remember that if it is not suitable for our company's artists, don't force the company to agree, otherwise even if you have money, there may not be a good company to invest in us." ”

Lin Zhixiu said: "I will pay attention to this." Our purpose is only to seek wealth and help artists develop better, and our company will not do anything that bullies others. Of course, with you, no one will bully us. ”

Zhang Chengyuan hummed lightly, changed the topic and said: "Well, I found a promising female artist at the Daejong Awards tonight, it is Park Bo-young, the heroine of "Speed Scandal", you go to check her situation, if you have the opportunity, sign in to our company." ”

"Park Bo-young from "Speed Scandal"? Well, this girl star Su zhì is really good, and now her popularity is also very high, and our company also paid attention to her in the first half of the year, but her contract will not expire until another three or four years. ”

"So? Let's forget about it for now. Zhang Chengyuan is not very disappointed, anyway, there are many female artists under his company, and there are many good trainees, although there is no young and popular actress like Park Baoying for the time being, but after a year or two, it can be cultivated.

Lin Ji-so said: "Boss, although I don't have a chance to sign Park Bo-young, the young actresses Lee Yoo Fei and Kim Ji Won that our company has cultivated themselves are also very good, I believe that with our strong support and hard work for a few years, we will not lose to Park Bo-young." By the way, boss, the company discussed and decided to take advantage of the fact that the girl group is hot now, and take advantage of the trend to promote the debut of the girl group cultivated by our company, what do you think? ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Since it has been discussed and decided, let's arrange it like this, launch it early, you can get a piece of the pie early, and make a little money back early, but be careful not to tire them, and the treatment they deserve should not be less." Suddenly remembered that several members of this group were friends of his doppelganger Zheng Yuanyin, so he specially added.

After a pause, he asked again: "By the way, what is the name of our company's first girl group?" ”

"It's called Girls/of/JSW, or J-Girls for short."

“J-Girls? Jang Sung-won's girl? Are you asking me to make a name for them? ”

Lin Zhixiu smiled: "Anyway, most of your restaurants, cafes, clothing companies and other businesses use your name as signboards, and it is nothing more." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Okay, you can use this name if you want, I hope there will be no backlash." ”

Lim Ji-so said: "We will explain that the meaning of the name is 'JSW girl', and it will not be directly related to you, so that your female fans will have psychological comfort and will not say anything." ”

Zhang Chengyuan said softly: "I hope so." "A lot of female fans aren't too sensible. (To be continued......)
