Chapter 498: Prelude (I)
In the Korean music industry, since the disbandment of Lee Hyo-ri's group FIN.K.L, the girl group has entered an ice age. In the past few years, the music industry has always belonged to the world of boy groups, and girl groups are just a soy sauce character.
In the Ice Age, even S.M, a giant known as the Korean star factory and the No. 1 brokerage company, was a little more than willing to do so, and spent a lot of energy and resources to build a girl group for the world, although it was not that there were no achievements at all, but compared with the company's efforts, it was quite bleak.
However, in the recent year, the wind in the music industry has changed faintly, and the girl group group has gradually shown signs of recovery, and various brokerage companies have launched new girl groups. JYP was the first to launch the group WonderGirls at the beginning of the year, and DSP companies immediately followed up with the launch of their new girl group, KARA. S.M, which has always considered itself to be the vane of Korean entertainment, is naturally not far behind, and is also ready to launch a new girl group that it has been preparing for nearly a year.
Having learned the lesson of the poor publicity of Tomoki Tenkami's debut, S.M decided to make its new girl group whose name has been determined to be "Girls' Generation" appear in front of the public in a different form from the previous debut. However, a few months have passed since the task was promulgated to the company's planning department, and the guys in the planning department couldn't come up with a plan that satisfied them, which made Kim Yingmin very annoyed.
"What kind of bullshit plan are you coming up with?" Kim Young-min slammed several plans sent by the planning department on the table, and roared angrily: "I said it." Do you want to bring forth the new, do you understand the new? Look at what you've brought? Either it's decent and the same as before, or it's bullshit, and there's no possibility of implementation at all. The company feeds you for nothing. Go back, redesign the plan, and come up with a feasible plan within a week, otherwise you will take the initiative to submit a letter of resignation. ”
Cha Duxi, the head of the planning department, couldn't help but lament and quit Kim Youngmin's office, how could it be so easy to come up with a plan that was different from others, different from the past, and had to cause a sensational effect? All the employees of their entire planning department have killed many brain cells in the past few months. How many schemes have come up with. Some of the plans are even about to be written as fantasy novels, but none of them can satisfy the company. I couldn't think of a good plan for a few months before, but now that the president has given them the last week, how useful can it be? It seems that this resignation letter will not run away.
Cha Duxi returned to their ministry's office dejectedly. The employees of the ministry saw his expression as soon as they saw him. As far as I know, the few solutions they thought were the best they could come up with still failed to satisfy the company. Immediately followed by the despondency.
Then I heard that the company had given the most urgent ultimatum, and if I couldn't come up with a satisfactory plan for the company within a week, I would submit a letter of resignation. The heart is even more cool and cool.
It's hard to find a job, it's even harder to find a good job, and life is not easy to mix. Maybe a few of the better people can stay in the company or jump to other big companies to continue to serve high-end jobs, but most people here estimate that they will either be hungry for a while, or they can only go to those small companies to eat.
I have to say that S.M's reputation as the No. 1 brokerage company in the Korean music industry is not covered, and it is not difficult for the company's people to find jobs after they leave. But there is another premise for this, and that is usual. If the whole department is fired, it will give the outside world a message, the people in this film are all garbage, and other large companies are embarrassed to accept them even if they were originally willing to accept them, otherwise wouldn't they be laughed at by the S.M company for being a garbage receiving camp? So if that happens, most of the people here will have to go to small companies and continue to eat.
Even the few employees in the department who are recognized as having good skills and the best brains don't think that they can't come up with a good plan for a few months, and they can get it in the last week, so after listening to Che Duxi's warning and encouraging everyone to work hard, not only did they not arouse a vein of blood, but they thought about where they would go to eat if all the people in the department were fired.
Of course, the best ones are to go to CJ, JYP, YG, etc., and the next best ones are to DSP companies. Wait, no, the best thing is to go to the ZX Group, and then it's the turn of CJ, JYP, YG and other companies. Now who in the entire Korean entertainment industry doesn't know that Ludao ZX Group has the best treatment? Employees live a fairy life? However, on the other hand, ZX Group is also the most difficult company in the entire Korean entertainment industry to enter, and even returnees are blocked by them.
Those people pondered, if they left S.M, would they be able to join the ZX Group? I heard that they have transferred some people to the United States because they want to develop the American market, so the Korean company is short of manpower and has to expand its recruitment.
Maybe you can ask Zheng Xiuyan for help, isn't she a shareholder of ZX Group, or the sister of Xiahou Zhongying, the chairman of ZX Group? Eh, Zheng Xiuyan? Xiahou Zhongying? One person suddenly remembered Zheng Xiuyan and Xiahou Zhongying and immediately patted his head, looking a little annoyed, and his actions inevitably attracted the attention of others.
"Liu Renshan, what's wrong?" Che Duxi looked at the guy who patted his head and played self-harm suspiciously.
"Minister, we can ask for foreign help." The guy named Liu Renshan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Find some foreign aid to help us come up with ideas, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise?" ”
It is naturally better not to leave the company than to be fired, and it is difficult for us to leave the company in the way of being fired, and it is difficult to want to join other large companies, so it is better to find a way to stay in the company first. If we can have a good relationship with her, even if we change jobs in the future, with her recommendation, it will be much easier to enter the ZX Group, Liu Renshan thought to himself.
Che Duxi rolled his eyes, looked at Liu Renshan with the eyes of an idiot, and said in his heart, this person usually looks quite clever, why is he so idiot now? What a bad idea, although our gang is not the top in the Korean entertainment industry, how can we say that it is also a first-class level, right? Finding foreign aid from other companies, not saying that they are not much higher than themselves, even if they have good ideas, what will they tell their competitors? Let's just talk about us, if people from other companies ask for it, we can't help them.
Liu Renshan was defined by Che Duxi as quite clever before, and naturally he is also a little clever. Seeing the undisguised eyes of Che Duxi and other colleagues, I knew what they thought, and the corners of my mouth skimmed imperceptibly, you look at me like an idiot, I still look at you like an idiot, I don't understand the Tao in this.
