Chapter 104: Li Xiuman's Teachings
"Teacher." Coming to Li Xiuman's office, An Minxuan knocked lightly on the door and called out.
"Is it Xiao Xuan? Come on in. Li Xiuman's voice soon came out.
An Minxuan opened the door and walked in.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiuman looked at his most proud disciple in front of him, although it was not the first time, he still felt very proud.
"Well, there's an invitation from the U.S. to collaborate with me on a song." An Minxuan said truthfully, he knew that Li Xiuman had been very busy recently, and TVXQ's activities in Japan and SuperJunior's China activities needed to be planned by him and a group of management.
"Oh." Li Xiuman subconsciously responded, then his eyes widened, he looked at An Minxuan in disbelief, and said, "You mean?" United States? ”
"Yes." An Minxuan nodded, he knew that Li Xiuman was so surprised, the outside world was rumored that JYP's Park Zhenying yearned for the United States the most, but the outside world did not know that Li Xiuman's expectations for the United States were deeper than Park Zhenying, but Li Xiuman hid it well.
"Did you say yes?" Li Xiuman knew that he was a little out of shape, but he didn't care, anyway, it wasn't the first time An Minxuan had seen him like this.
Li Xiuman just can't control his expression if he wants to, after An Minxuan's success in the United States, Li Xiuman has been discussing with An Minxuan whether to continue to release English records, but he was rejected by An Minxuan. And he An Minxuan and S.M Company have no other connections in the United States, and it is even more difficult for An Minxuan to be active in the American entertainment industry than An Minxuan when he returned to the stage, which is the disadvantage of Asians, because in the hearts of Europeans and Americans, Asians can't control the American style at all, so it is impossible for a producer to deliver songs to An Minxuan, even if they are submitted, the quality is not very good, and the price paid by the company is still very high.
Li Xiuman's originally excited mood also woke up after hearing An Minxuan's analysis, that's right, S.M can open the market for An Minxuan at any cost, but An Minxuan does not have the confidence to be absolutely successful, and he does not have a good song, even if S.M pays a huge price to open the market for him, he can't reap the rewards he deserves, so why bother? Since you can't be a blockbuster, then it's good to lie down and try the salary, what kind of talent An Minxuan has in music, Li Xiuman is very clear about this, and it is only a matter of time before he enters the European and American entertainment circles.
"Promised." An Minxuan could feel Li Xiuman's excitement, and An Minxuan had always respected this teacher who had always treated him like a nephew, so after realizing Li Xiuman's happiness, he also smiled.
"Okay, okay." Li Xiuman said two 'good' words in a row, which can see Li Xiuman's mood, you must know that Li Xiuman, who can be called a tyrant by the outside world, can easily control his mood.
"I'm going to the United States to record next week, and the specific time has not yet been determined, but teacher, can the company profit from this cooperation?" An Minxuan said the purpose of coming to Li Xiuman, he thought about the company all the time, and wanted to repay the company for bearing the losses of all the company's attacks for him.
"I want to think about it." Li Xiuman fell silent and began to think about the gains and losses.
An Minxuan was not in a hurry, but waited for Li Xiuman's arrangement, although he had studied management and finance, but in this regard, he only learned from books, how could he be compared with Li Xiuman.
"We don't care about the U.S. side at the moment." Soon, Li Xiuman reacted and said: "On the American side, after all, we don't have any connections, so don't make enemies easily, and besides, Taylor's company that invited you can be regarded as indirectly helping you, we can't make them dissatisfied, because there may be such an opportunity one day, but in South Korea, you don't have to worry so much." ”
"So, what should I do?" An Minxuan nodded, Li Xiuman was right, S.M Company is indeed the No. 1 entertainment company in South Korea, but that is only in South Korea, in the United States, I am afraid that it is not even comparable to a small and medium-sized company, and it is still irrational to easily offend a European and American entertainment company that is rising rapidly.
"Before leaving, the leak came out." Li Xiuman said to An Minxuan: "Let KBS help you spread the word, when you go to the United States anyway, you have to negotiate with KBS, and KBS definitely does not recommend breaking such news, KBS with the government as the backstage is really a free publicity." ”
"What's in it for that?" An Minxuan asked curiously.
"Of course, most of the benefits belong to you, and the company can also gain a lot of reputation from it." Li Xiuman nodded with satisfaction, An Minxuan is no longer a simple artist in his heart, he really wants to train An Minxuan to be an outstanding person, not only in the entertainment industry, but also in the business world, after all, An Minxuan has a foundation in management and finance, and he completely treats An Minxuan as a nephew.
"Oh." An Minxuan nodded a little blindly, he still can't understand these things at present, but he has them in his heart, and he can study them when he has nothing to do, this is also what Li Xiuman meant, he didn't explain anything to An Minxuan in too much detail, because there are some things that he can't explain, and An Minxuan must be allowed to experience it himself.
"Moreover, Girls' Generation can also get a lot of attention from it, don't forget, Girls' Generation is now in the outside world, but it is tied to you, as your students, once your news breaks out again, they will also receive attention, and there will even be a lot of invitations to send, because you may have gone abroad, reporters or hosts of some programs, you can only get your news through them." Li Xiuman said.
"That's right." This time An Minxuan understood, because Li Xiuman explained very clearly this time.
"Do you have any confidence in this song?" Li Xiuman asked.
"I think this song is very good, a classic duet love song, but the result still depends on the reaction." An Minxuan is surprisingly modest, once he is involved in Europe and the United States, his self-confidence will be gone, not that he wants this, but for Europe and the United States, he is still very unfamiliar after all, although in constant contact.
"Hmm." Li Xiuman nodded, not dissatisfied because of An Minxuan's lack of confidence, he can understand that no one will be confident in an unfamiliar field, because that is not what he is good at, on the contrary, if he is still confident in an unfamiliar field, then this person is either a lack of brains or an idiot.
"That's right, teacher, the agent of Girls' Generation, is not very sophisticated at the moment, and this combination has a large number of people, and an agent will definitely not be busy in the future, so it is best to train an agent now." An Minxuan remembered what happened in MBC, so he proposed to Li Xiuman, and even told Li Xiuman about the events in MBC.
"Hmph, it's really disrespectful to the old." Li Xiuman listened to it, with an angry face, if An Minxuan didn't appear in time, the combination of Girls' Generation really didn't know what kind of treatment it would receive, and for the agent Quan Zhenwu, Li Xiuman was not dissatisfied, Quan Zhenwu is indeed a newcomer being cultivated by S.M Company, and the things he usually handles make the company very satisfied, this time it is also an emergency, Quan Zhenwu doesn't know how to deal with it is normal, and after An Minxuan's reminder, I believe that this kind of incident can be well prevented in the future.
"My agent introduced me to a guy who was nice and could be trained as a new agent." An Minxuan took the opportunity to suggest.
"Really?" Li Xiuman thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, tomorrow you let him come to the company for an interview." ”
It's easy, Li Xiuman agreed, is it easy for the agent of Girls' Generation, the ambitious work of S.M, to do it? No, of course not, that's because of An Minxuan's recommendation, and An Minxuan is very popular with Li Xiuman's newcomer, so it's so easy.
"Teacher, in that case, I'll leave first, and I'm going to KBS and MBC." An Minxuan took his leave.
"Well, there you go." Li Xiuman also knew that An Minxuan needed to explain to the two TV stations, and he did not force him to stay.
An Minxuan left and rushed directly to KBS, and in the car, he explained to Yin Zaidao by the way, and asked him to ask that person to come to the company tomorrow.
