On the morning of the Spring Festival in 02, the plane flew from Star City to the imperial capital.

Two and a half hours later, Li Lin got off the plane with his team, wearing large sunglasses that were large enough to cover half of his face, and slowly walked out of the airport under the team's way.

"Li Jun." A blue Bugatti Veyron stopped in front of Li Lin, the window rolled down, and a familiar face appeared in Li Lin's eyes, "Sit down!" ”

When Li Lin saw him, his pupils shrank slightly, and he asked casually, "Why did Mr. Matsuura Katsuto come to the imperial capital?" Is it because there are business matters that need to be taken care of? ”

"Is Li Jun my business business?" Katsuto Matsuura smiled lightly, "Get in the car, I'm here to talk to Li Jun about your debut in Japan and South Korea." ”

Li Lin glanced at Shen Meng, and waited until Shen Meng nodded before he sat down, except for him and his agent Shen Meng, everyone else got into the car that had already been prepared.

The car roared, and the ordinary Bugatti Veyron worth more than 20 million yuan started to move.

"I wanted to fly over from Japan when I received Yang Jun's notice, but at that time I was stumped by some things, so I didn't come here until today, Li Jun won't blame me for this!"

"If you blame me, I'll apologize here first!"

"How so!" Li Lin smiled, secretly vigilant in his heart.

If he was just an ordinary singer, it was really possible to be moved by Katsuto Matsuura's approach similar to Corporal Reixian, and thus throw himself into the arms of the Ibex Group, but he was not just a singer, he was also a shareholder of Gold Medal Records. He needs to be responsible for the company.

So he became wary of Katsuto Matsuura using this kind of style to poach the company's singers.

He knows the charm of Matsuura Katsuto.

In Li Lin's previous life, Katsuto Matsuura was made wild by the board of directors, and Ayumi Hamasaki announced that he and Katsuto Matsuura would advance and retreat together after learning of this situation. And this move was supported by more than seven layers of artists in the Ibex Group, and the end result was that the board of directors retreated.

This is the famous 'Matsuura Katsuto' incident.

Judging from this, what kind of image is Katsuto Matsuura in the singer's heart.

"By the way, why did Li Junwei suddenly think of entering the Japanese and Korean markets in an all-round way?" Katsuto Matsuura asked curiously.

"That's right." Shen Meng answered Songpu Shengren's question in front of Li Lin, "Li Lin has reached a limit in Huaxia, even if he continues to publicize, he can only consolidate the market, it is better to take this opportunity to enter the Japanese and Korean markets." After all, the singers of China, Japan and South Korea have stable audiences in all three countries. ”

"I see." Matsuura Katsuto suddenly said, "Li Jun is indeed a good opportunity to enter the Japanese and Korean markets at this time, but I suggest that Li Jun fight South Korea." ”

"Li Jun's last album caused a lot of repercussions in South Korea. But the album sales are not high, and the reason is that the competition in the Korean market is too fierce, and it is difficult for artists to really win the hearts of fans if they don't go to Korean events, so I recommend Li Jun to go to South Korea. ”

"We contacted S.M. for this purpose. They will arrange Li Jun's activities in South Korea throughout the whole process. ”

It's all connected, and you still say it's a suggestion? Li Lin slandered in his heart. He knew that Katsuto Matsuura was using himself to open up the Korean market, but he didn't refuse.

Compared with the Japanese market, which is prosperous and yang, the Korean market is indeed more suitable for him at this time, and the Japanese market is not as competitive as South Korea, and the fans accumulated by an album can make him eat for a long time.

"I heard that S.M has launched a new combination, does he still have the resources to help my family?" Shen Meng is not stupid, South Korea, which has a small market due to fierce competition, and Japan, which is not very competitive and has a large market, fools know how to choose. What's more, Shen Meng, who is not stupid.

And there is a common problem in the Korean market, that is, the high cost of publicity.

is different from the major variety shows in China that can be on the basis of connections. It is almost impossible for new artists in South Korea to be on those popular variety shows without operating, and operation requires money, and it is a lot of money.

Similarly, newcomers in Huaxia can easily get some news attention by virtue of the company's connections, while South Korea cannot, and the record company doesn't want to be in the newspaper without spending money on newcomers, unless there is very significant news about the newcomer.

Under such circumstances, Korean record companies are very cautious when launching new talents, and many record companies go bankrupt because the new players they launch are not popular, which is unthinkable in China.

And she has already received the news that Li Xiuman plans to launch TVXQ to occupy the Chinese market at the China, Japan and South Korea Three Kingdoms Song Friends Conference, and before that, they have successively launched the men's group Black_Beat and the girl group MILK, IsakNJiyeon, the failure of the three consecutive combinations has greatly damaged the vitality of S.M company, and now they have launched TVXQ, no matter how you look at it, there are no resources to help Li Lin.

"Mr. Katsuto Matsuura, whether it is Li Lin or Mr. Yang, they all have great expectations for this entry into the Japanese and Korean markets, they are not playing."

"If Mr. Katsuto Matsuura is unable to push Li Lin to a higher position, we will carefully consider whether there is still a need for cooperation between us."

Li Lin didn't say a word beside him, and this kind of negotiation that offended people was still handed over to Shen Meng to do a good job.

A hint of anger flashed in Matsuura's eyes, how could he have been threatened like this? In Japan, neither Sony nor Genesys dared to speak like this in front of him, but considering the company's strategy, Katsuto Matsuura still held back his anger.

"Is this what Li Jun meant?" Katsuto Matsuura set his sights on Li Lin.

"That's what Mr. Yang and I mean." Shen Meng interjected directly, "Doesn't Mr. Katsuto Matsuura know that the agent of the road has full authority to represent the artist?" ”

"It's a shame that in Japan, artists are very free." Katsuto Matsuura couldn't deny Shen Meng's words, "It's impossible for an artist to be represented by a person with full authority like Li Jun's agent." ”

"Please note." Shen Meng said sharply: "We are talking about the resources paid by the iBakers Group. "Katsuto Matsuura hit the idea on Li Lin's head, how could Shen Meng do what he wanted, "If Mr. Katsuto Matsuura is unwilling to invest resources to support Li Lin, we will consider taking back Li Lin's Japan-South Korea contract." ”

"You've broken the contract."

"You broke the contract first." Shen Meng did not back down at all, "According to the contract, Ibex Group should fully support Li Lin's entry into the Japanese and South Korean markets instead of handing Li Lin over to S.M Company for processing." ”

"S.M is the hegemon of the Korean music scene, and its support will not be weak." Matsuura Katsuto: "And we Aibakers Group will also support Li Jun through resource replacement. ”

"Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Shen Meng nodded, she had already gotten what she wanted, and what was there to be dissatisfied with.

"Li Jun, you have found a good agent." Katsuto Matsuura said meaningfully.

At this time, Li Lin spoke, "It is a common practice in China for the agent to act as an artist's business agent, and I ask Mr. Matsuura Katsuto to forgive me." ”

His expression was slightly apologetic, as if he was really just helpless just now, but in fact, what was going on was only clear in the hearts of the three people present.

"Li Jun has a heart." Katsuto Matsuura bowed his head, as if he had seen something and seemed to have seen nothing.

Four cars drove into the parking lot of the CCTV building at the same time, and Li Lin slowly came to the backstage surrounded by bodyguards, even when he arrived at the backstage, he did not have the slightest idea of withdrawing the team.

The China, Japan and South Korea Three Kingdoms Singers Association is not just an ordinary singer club, it is also a contest in the Three Kingdoms music scene, and in the background, the singers of the Three Kingdoms will start the first competition.

In the boxy dressing room, the decorative wreath in the middle has long been removed, replaced by three large red sofas in a triangle, and about dozens of small lamps around it are reflected through the glass, illuminating the whole dressing room.

As soon as Li Lin came in, he saw the princess, Hikaru Utada, and the mythical group sitting on the sofa, and the newcomers from various countries stood behind their top artists, densely surrounded by a black circle.

Li Lin glanced at it and soon saw an acquaintance.

Li Lida!

"Sure enough, I debuted as a group." Li Lin's gaze met Li Lida's, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he made a lip shape to Li Lida, "I'm going to South Korea, are you ready?" ’

"Hmph." Li Lida snorted coldly, and his handsome face turned blue.

"What's wrong?" TVXQ member Shen Changmin heard Li Lida's cold snort and couldn't help asking.

"It's okay, it's just that I saw a person who had a holiday with me, and I felt a little uncomfortable." Li Lida showed a bright smile in a blink of an eye.

Although he has only been in S.M for a short time, he is very popular in S.M with his rich family background, sunny smile, and handsome appearance.

Li Lin glanced at the princess, then at the person standing behind the princess, and after thinking for a while, he still stood behind the princess.

"Li Lin." Li Lida walked up after Li Lin stood still and laughed in a low voice, "I heard that you are very popular in Huaxia, why don't you sit on the sofa?" ”

"Are you Korean or Chinese, why do you stand on the Korean side for a while and run to the Chinese side for a while?" Li Lin shot back.

In an instant, Li Lida's face stiffened.

Theoretically, as a member of the Korean group TVXQ, he should be on the Korean side, but he has made his debut as a singer in China before, and he himself is also Chinese.

No matter how you choose, there is a suspicion of rebellion.

"Li Lin, is it interesting to get entangled in these things?" Li Lida glanced at Li Lin with disdain, "You said you were going to enter the Korean market, but I told you that the Korean market is not so easy to enter, do you dare to make a bet with me?" (To be continued......)
