Chapter 297: The Age of Beauty
Bar.
Li Lin and Li Xiaoli went in together, and as soon as they entered, Li Lin saw the members of FIN.K.L sitting on the sofa, and then there were the mythical group, Ahn Qixuan, Kim Jong Kook, and some new faces with nervous faces.
"Li Linxi." Moon Yee-hyuk, the captain of the Mythical Group, greeted with a smile, "Long time no see." β
After winning the lawsuit with S.M, they lived a comfortable life with the Mythical Combination, not only built their own Mythical Combination Company, but also trained a large number of trainees.
"Long time no see." Li Lin nodded, he said hello, his eyes fell on the new faces, knowing that these people had come to introduce him to him, "Who are these people?" β
"Takanoshi."
Moon Yeong-hyuk pointed to the man on the far right, and then pointed over, "Ko Ya-ri, Kwon Jin-heon, and Park Ji-yong are all novice trainees of our company, and I plan to let them form a group to debut." β
"A mixed male and female group?" Li Lin frowned slightly, the mixed male and female groups are not popular in South Korea, and in his impression, Gao Yaotai in the top mixed male and female groups is not as good as the mythical group or the later Girls' Generation.
"The women's group market is tepid, and the men's group market is occupied by TVXQ, and we may not be able to compete with those big companies when we launch these groups, so we plan to make efforts in the mixed male and female groups that the major companies have not noticed, hoping that they can occupy a place."
"At that time, whether it is a split or a reorganization, there will be a lot of room for manoeuvre."
Wen Xihe talked eloquently. Tell them all about their prospects.
Li Lin glanced at the newcomers.
I only saw that they didn't react to Moon Yeong-hyuk's words, as if it wasn't me who was determined about the future. Li Lin sighed involuntarily in his heart.
Once upon a time, the mythical group was also the object of oppression, and they also dared to quarrel with the company because of their own line, and now they are not soft at all when they squeeze others.
He has seen the contract drawn up by the mythical group for the company, which is better than that of S.M, but he can't escape the evaluation of an oppressive artist. This is about what is called the butt deciding the head.
However, Li Lin is not prepared to change this system.
Ever since S.M's success with the Vampire Contract, the Vampire Contract has become a spectacle in South Korea, and anyone who wants to break the spectacle will inevitably be met with a counterattack from the entire Korean entertainment industry.
Li Lin is here to make money. is not here to be a savior, he wants to save the artists of China, and the artists of South Korea are doing things.
He poured himself a glass of wine, then shook his head slightly. "I don't agree with you."
Wen Yanhe was stunned. He never thought that Li Lin would actually reject his proposal, "Li Linxi, do you have any different opinions?" β
"First, the market for mixed male and female voices is too small."
"But ......."
Wen Yanhe was about to speak, but Li Lin interrupted him, "I know what you said, but you ignore the girl group market." β
βFIN. The fact that K.L and SES are not as good as the men's in the women's market is their own problem, not the market itself. You need to figure this out. β
Later generations of Girls' Generation and WonderGirls have proven it.
Moment. FIN. A few members of the K.L group threw their eye knives at Li Lin, daring to say in front of them that they couldn't do it, they were simply looking for death.
Li Lin nodded apologetically to several members of the FIN.K.L group, and then said: "I have always been very optimistic about the Korean girl group market, and with the restructuring of the Asia-Pacific market, the Korean girl group has a large market in the entire Asia-Pacific region. β
"It's ......." Moon Hye-hyuk hesitated a little, and now the women's market is generally in recession, whether it is the new girl group launched by S.M Company or the girl group launched by other companies, the response in the market is mediocre.
If you launch a girl group to the market, there is a great possibility of failure.
"Nine people." Li Lin said: "Three Koreans, three Chinese, three Japanese, a total of nine people form a girl group, called Beauty Era." β
Li Lin plans to imitate Girls' Generation to create a new girl group, and then compete with Girls' Generation for food.
"In my plan, this group must grow into a new generation of top girl groups in the Asia-Pacific region, and she must be popular in China, Japan and South Korea."
Hiss!
Everyone present gasped.
It is popular all over China, Japan and South Korea, what a difficulty, that is, when the Chinese music scene was at its peak, there were a few all-eating artists, and others were at most all-eating two countries.
But thinking about Li Lin's identity, they felt relieved.
Who is Li Lin? As soon as the debut album swept the entire Asian market, with sales exceeding 10 million, and then came to South Korea to develop, an EP and a Korean album established the status of the king of Korean music, and then won the Golden Melody Award in China and became the king of China and South Korea.
And it is said that his albums are selling extremely well in Japan, and his popularity is not inferior to that of first-line Japanese singers, and he is a character who eats the Asia-Pacific market.
It doesn't seem difficult for him to create a girl group that is popular in China, Japan and South Korea.
Three of the four newcomers looked at Gao Yali with envy.
They are all men, and it is impossible for them to be selected for the women's group, and only Gao Yali has some opportunities present.
"Nine people?" Wen Yanhe frowned, "There are too many people!" "Although there is a trend of more and more Korean music groups, there are nine people at once, and he feels a little out of place.
"It's nine people." Li Lin nodded, he knows the trend of Korean groups, Girls' Generation, SuperJunior and EXO, and they are all powerful.
After all, the popularity of a large number of people is also high, and the fans of each member are combined together, and the combination of fans becomes a huge fan group, and if there are more people, the number of advertisements is also more, the more endorsements there are, and the more money the company makes, the better.
As for the problem that the income of the members of the group has dropped sharply because of the large number of people, the brokerage company does not care about this. Anyway, their contract is a vampire contract, and if one person shares or a combination of more than a dozen people, the brokerage company will not lose income.
And the combination is not popular after that. They can also split the group, leaving the popular one to change careers to be solo singers, which can be said to be a million profits.
However, there are many people in the Korean entertainment industry, and Japan is even more terrifying, the 48 members of the AKB48 group make a lot of money by selling photo albums, and AKB48, which is known as the hand-breaking hand, is known as Japan's unsinkable aircraft carrier. But the members in it have changed and changed, all of them have gone solo, and they have become a novice base in the Japanese entertainment industry.
If there are any newcomers in the major brokerage companies, they will stuff people into AKB48. Wait for your newcomer to accumulate enough popularity to fly solo.
That's why AKS was able to operate akb48 without any crackdown.
"It's not a lot at all." Li Lin said with a smile: "The combination is to have a lot of people, if the company is not just starting, I would be like forming a group of 48 people." β
48 people!
Everyone present was stunned.
It is said that there are many Korean groups. But so far. The Korean group is just a regular number, 48 people, which is already a shocking number.
"48 people, even if those artists are popular, there will be no good results!" Lee Hyori said subconsciously.
Korean artists are already exploited, if there are 48 people in the group, even if they are popular, I am afraid that the people inside will not be able to eat and clothe.
"You can fly solo." Li Lin said with a smile, in fact, it is no different from what Li Xiaoli said. After AKB48 was established, although the albums and photos were bought very well, various endorsements and advertisements were not missing. But the members inside ate boxed lunches one by one, and some even had to work to support themselves.
This is the disadvantage of having a large number of people β when there are more people, the income goes down.
In Li Lin's previous life, the AKB48 members were extremely unstable, and once the members of the group were famous, they would announce that they would fly solo, even if the prospects after flying solo were not as wonderful as in AKB48, but they chose to fly solo without hesitation.
For what? It's money, popularity has declined, and the future has dimmed, but at least the money is in the pocket, after all, fame can't be eaten.
"It's horrible." The mythical group shuddered, and he couldn't help but murmur: "Once this kind of giant appears in the Korean music scene, who else can resist it?" β
The combination of 48 people is terrifying when you think about it.
Li Lin shook his head with a smile when he heard this, the combination of 48 people is impossible in South Korea, its market is too small, and it can't support such a behemoth at all, that is, a market like Japan can make AKB48 endure, but Rao is so, there are many problems inside, and if you are not careful, you will capsize.
As for the unsinkable aircraft carrier, just laugh and laugh, after all, even the unsinkable giant ship Titanic has sunk, and Japan, the unsinkable aircraft carrier, may hit the iceberg at some point.
"Where's the candidate?" Moon Ye-hyuk asked, "Do you have any candidates?" β
"If you choose someone, South Korea's three-person mythical combination company will come out." Li Lin said: "The Chinese are from our gold medal record company, as for the Japanese, I will ask Mr. Katsuto Matsuura of the Ibex Group to see if they have any good candidates to recommend." β
The Belle Γpoque is destined to be promoted by three companies together, after all, it is difficult for one company to make its portfolio call for wind and rain in other countries.
This is true for Mythic Groups, it is true for Gold Records, and it is also true for the Ibex Group.
"We usually gather together for activities, and if necessary, we divide them into three parts and move in three countries."
"One company is responsible for one market."
China, Japan and South Korea record companies have joined forces to launch the Belle Era, coupled with Li Lin's dedication to create it, it can be said that the prerequisites for the fire are all in place, and then it depends on the Belle Era's own considerations.
"As for the requirements." Li Lin pondered for a moment and said, "It should look good." β
Moon Yeong-hyuk nodded, the most important thing in South Korea is handsome men and beautiful women, any ugly monster only needs to be sent to the plastic surgery hospital, and when it is kept, it will become a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
As the saying goes, there are no ugly women, only women who don't have plastic surgery.
"And then there's the dancing, and I'm sorry for that." Li Lin smiled at Wen Yanhe, "The last is the song, I'll be in charge of the title song!" (To be continued......)
