Chapter 728: Dearest?
Since the successful launch of Sun Danfei the year before last, ConstellationEntertainment also successfully debuted the girl group AfterSchool at the beginning of this year, which is the first girl idol group of ConstellationEntertainment, vowing to have a long and short plan with Girls' Generation and WonderGirls.
However, after WonderGirls went to the United States to develop the European and American markets, Girls' Generation finally succeeded in winning the first place in the girl group. In order to fight for enough resources and status in the battle of girl groups in the music industry, T-ara, another girl group that ConstellationEntertainment has been planning for a long time, also successfully debuted.
ConstellationEntertainment is a new economy company established by the merger of Kim Hee-sun & Associates after the acquisition of MnetMedia's music TV stations and agencies, PledisEntertainment and CoreCentensMedia, which are affiliated with SBS Television. Coupled with the fact that a number of famous top and first-line actresses have joined one after another, and sufficient funding sources, ConstellationEntertainment has been able to come up with resources to launch two women's idol groups at the same time in a short period of time.
Although ConstellationEntertainment's strength is extraordinary, in the entertainment industry, where seniority and interpersonal relationships are important, ConstellationEntertainment is obviously inferior to TCE, S.M, DSP and JYP, which have been established for many years. It is far from being as complete as these old large brokerage companies.
"Kim Hee-sun Office" was originally just a personal office invested by Zi-hee to protect Kim Hee-sun, in addition to being equipped with enough agents, stylists, makeup artists, and assistants, it is also some staff who deal with Kim Hee-sun's acting schedule on a daily basis. With the successive additions of Ha Ji Won, Han Ga-in, Kim Ha-na, Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye-jin, Park Min-young, Shin Se-kyung and Han Chae-young, Kim Hee-sun & Associates once became a well-known "beauty firm" among Koreans, but it still can't show the lack of foundation.
By eating small fish and big shrimp, the firm swallowed PledisEntertainment and CoreCentensMedia in one go, and Zixi has sufficient financial resources, and "Tianchen Entertainment" is behind it, but large brokerage companies do not mean that they can achieve the level they should be able to merge several companies.
Originally, the lack of supporting facilities of the office was not obvious, but after the debut of AfterSchool, the original supporting measures were insufficient. Lin Yuantai, as the current president of ConstellationEntertainment, was eager to show his ability, ignoring the company's lack of software and hardware support, and forcibly launched T-ara again, and dispersed the resources that should have been allocated to the two girl groups of Davichi and SeeYa, who were old qualifications, to AfterSchool and T-ara. was very dissatisfied with the company's unreasonable arrangement, and even lost his temper with the agent for a while.
Kim Hee-sun is also the current chairman and chairman of ConstellationEntertainment, but she has completely retired as a housewife, and rarely cares about the actual affairs of the company, except for the annual regular board of directors and documents that must be signed by her. Even other directors such as Ha Ji Won, Han Ga-in, Kim Ha Na, Song Hye Kyo and Son Ye-jin also went through the motions and didn't care much about the company. They all know that Zixi arranged for them to be the directors of the company, not to let them manage the company, but to give them the remuneration of the company's directors and the annual dividends as pocket money, so that it is justified. The entire ConstellationEntertainment is managed by a senior management team arranged by "Tianchen Entertainment", so they don't have to worry about it at all.
Lin Yuantai, as the president parachuted from Tianchen Entertainment, when the chairman and the director did not care about anything, the company became his hall, and he had a decisive attitude. The original presidents and representatives of PledisEntertainment and CoreCentensMedia, Han Sung-so and Kim Kwang-so, failed to pose enough threats to Lin Yuantai in the company, and almost became his vassals.
Lin Yuantai has his own lofty ideals and is not willing to be the president of a South Korean brokerage company. His goal is to make achievements in the company and attract enough attention from Zixi, so after Zixi returns to the family and takes over the family business, he Lin Yuantai will have enough capital to go higher and further, even if he will serve as the CEO of Tianchen Entertainment in the future, there is no hope.
It is precisely because of this mentality that Lin Yuantai is so ambitious, regardless of the actual situation of the company, in the case of insufficient support, forcibly launched two girl groups in a row within half a year, so that the company's software and hardware suddenly became overstretched, and despite the opposition of others, privately reduced the resources that originally belonged to Davichi and SeeYa, so that the members of the two groups were full of resentment towards the company.
Since PledisEntertainment and CoreCentensMedia belong to MnetMedia, after being acquired and merged by Kim Hee-sun & Associates, part of the original assets of the two companies has been redivided, and all the properties belonging to MnetMedia have been recovered. So that the newly established ConstellationEntertainmen needed to find a suitable and expanded office space again.
T-ara, as a newcomer group that has just debuted, has a dormitory that is not in the downtown area of Seoul, and is actually arranged to Yuyeon-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, and it takes almost 90 minutes to drive to the downtown area of Seoul, and it takes nearly an hour to take the subway even if you take it, which is a kind of torture for artists who are in a hurry.
Regarding this matter, Zixi didn't know anything at all. As the future heir of a chaebol, as a director of a company, he can't bow down to everything, a small girl group dormitory problem, do you still have to ask him?
But this matter made a big fuss, and before T-ara completed its debut, it was because of the resources of the company's other two groups, Davichi and SeeYa, that the two groups were of course unwilling to be transferred away from their own resources, and complained to the agent, so that the agents of the two groups could only report to Lushang. Taking over the matter is Han Sung-so, the former president of PledisEntertainment and the current executive director of ConstellationEntertainmen.
After Han Sung-so learned about the matter, he knew that even if he reported to Lin Yuantai, it would not be effective. This time, he bypassed Lin Yuantai and reported directly to Zixi, and also submitted the company's detailed report summary to Zixi for a look, so that the actual controller of ConstellationEntertainmen could clearly understand the company's recent situation and the embarrassment encountered.
Han Sung-so did this, not necessarily without the intention of slandering Lin Yuantai in front of Zixi. Because he knows very well that he is an old man of the old company, and there is no comparison with a parachute like Lin Yuantai, which is inextricably linked to the head office. The only thing he can hope for is that Zixi is not the kind of incompetent gentleman, who can understand the company's situation and make practical adjustments to the company. Even if you can't bring down Lin Yuantai just like that, it is enough to increase your weight in Zixi's heart.
Zixi attached great importance to this matter, and immediately made an appointment with Lin Yuantai to understand the matter in detail. learned that it was really as the report submitted by Han Sung-su said, and ordered Lin Yuantai to make rectifications. But the dormitory problem of debut artists is not just talking. Because the artist is a public figure, the residential building must have a good and comfortable environment and good security measures, and Lin Yuantai was unable to find a suitable dormitory for a while, so he arranged T-ara as far as Incheon.
At this time, Kim Tae-hee also proposed to Zi-hee that he move out of the Westin Hotel building in the Nonhyeon neighborhood and buy another property as an apartment, so that the two could have a place to live alone. Anyway, the whole world knows that Zixi and himself are a couple, even if they stay in Zixi's apartment, no one will say anything. But Zi-hee still lives here, and with her girlhood coming and going, Kim Tae-hee can't stay and stay overnight as freely as before, which makes her very dissatisfied with this proposal.
The Westin Hotel Tower has three floors of assets belonging to the "United Bank of America Holdings", and Zixi originally planned to allocate one floor for T-ara to move in temporarily. But with Kim Tae-hee's proposal, he is ready to leave his apartment to T-ara, which is the most suitable for T-ara. And Zixi moved out of here and looked for another love nest with Kim Tae-hee.
Zixi ignored the wishes of Girlhood, and after they moved here, they got along with Zixi day and night, and their relationship deepened day and night. For Girls' Generation, Zixi is not only their dear OPPA, but also a part of their lives. Hearing that he was moving out of the area, and that another girl group they didn't even know was moving in, made Tiffany psychologically resistant to the matter.
Tiffany thinks that she alone can't change Zixi's decision, and she doesn't care if it's zero morning, and dials the sisters' phone. In less than an hour, the nine members of Girls' Generation returned to the dormitory one by one and protested against Zixi.
Fiddling with the spicy fried rice cakes that had cooled in front of them, the ten people had no appetite at all. Zai Zixi explained the details, girls' generation, you look at me, I look at you, everyone stares at each other, and no one knows what to do. After all, this is the company's business, and it is not something that can be fooled by their little girls.
“OPPA! Do you really have to move out? "As the captain, Taeyeon can only be the one who can take the lead.
"T-ara has just debuted for two days, and time is precious to them because they have to play songs, promote them, catch up with different schedules, and be on different shows. You have been through it before, and you should be very clear and aware of it. The journey from Incheon to Seoul and from Seoul back to Incheon is too far and inconvenient. So I took advantage of the fact that I went to the United States to shoot [Twilight March Eclipse] this time, and I had to stay in the United States for at least three months, so that they could move in as soon as I left. Before I come back, Tae-hee will help me find the right apartment. ”
"Wouldn't it be okay to let them move downstairs or across the door from us? Where is it also empty, why do you have to live in an OPPA apartment? Who are they eligible to occupy OPPA's apartments and rooms? Yuri said angrily.
"That's right, let them move to the opposite door, and we'll make sure we'll get along with them. OPPA just stays and doesn't move out, okay? Xiuying said pitifully, hoping that this would dispel Zixi's plans.
Zixi saw that they were all bitter and hateful, and she looked like she was both soft and hard, and she reluctantly persuaded: "Your downstairs apartment is prepared as a staff member of the head office who has come to Seoul on a long-term business trip, how can you occupy it casually?" As for your door, it needs to be renovated because it has not been inhabited for a long time, which is not allowed in time. Anyway, I went to the U.S., and it was empty for almost three months, so it was the best thing for T-ara to move in. Even if OPPA is not here, you should get along well with them, they are all female IDOL groups, they are about the same age, and there will be many opportunities to appear in different shows together in the future, OPPA hopes that you can become friends with them. ”
"No, what are they? I don't want to be friends with them. If they had moved out of OPPA, I would never have forgiven them. Tiffany threw down the spoon and shouted loudly to Zixi. It was the first time she had made such a gaffe.
"Ernie! You don't want to be like this, okay! Xu Xian grabbed Tiffany, who wanted to leave, and looked at Zixi with two pairs of big eyes full of complexity, and said coquettishly: "OPPA!" Don't move out, okay? We're all family, and Xiaoxian doesn't want you to move away. ”
"Alas!" Girlhood's fierce reaction far exceeded Zixi's expectations, and all the soft and hard ones came, which annoyed him a lot. Seeing Tiffany's pear blossom crying with rain into tears, Zixi's heart couldn't help but soften.
“OPPA! Why don't we move to Zirui and you for the time being, and give up our dormitory to T-ara to move into. When we have finished the house with the door, we can move in. You and Zirui are both in the United States, and you should be able to handle the situation in terms of time, do you think this arrangement is good? Taeyeon pulls Tiffany over and whispers comfort before giving her opinion. As long as Zixi can not move out of here, it's just a dormitory.
Yu Li clapped her hands and praised: "That's right! Taeyeon's this is a good solution. Zirui and OPPA are both in the United States, and we can redecorate the dormitory opposite the door according to our own wishes, and we will temporarily live in Zirui and OPPA's house during this time. In this way, not only the dormitory of T-ara is solved, but OPPA does not have to move out, which is simply the best of both worlds. ”
Zixi smiled bitterly, these girls would rather give up their dormitory in order not to let him move out, how could he bear to refuse them? I don't want to make them sad, so I have to find a way to explain and coax Kim Tae-hee to her.
