Chapter 299: Tearing the Skin
In the office building of DSP company, Li Lin and Li Xiaoli walked up the stairs side by side, and under the strange gaze of many staff and trainees, the two slowly knocked on the door of the DSP president's office.
"Please come in."
Li Haoyan, the president of DSP company, looked at the two who appeared in front of him in surprise, and after only a moment, his face was full of smiles, "Li Xiaoli, is this Mr. Li Lin?" â
"Welcome."
Li Xiaoli became popular and became the pillar and cash cow of the DSP company, and Li Lin is the king of China and South Korea, with great popularity, and he holds the channel entertainment paradise in his hand, so he can't be offended, so he is smiling.
"I want to terminate my contract with you."
Li Xiaoli's words made Li Haoyan's smile cold.
He looked at Li Lin first, and then at Li Xiaoli, his eyes were cold, "Li Xiaoli, do you know what you are doing?" â
Lee Hyori is a pillar and a cash cow, that's right, DSP will also hold him in the palm of his hand, but the premise is that this tree can shake money, if the cash cow can't shake money, then this cash cow will become a roadblock.
"I know." Lee Hyo-ri gritted his teeth and said, "But I still want to terminate the contract with the DSP company." â
Suddenly!
Li Haoyan stood up suddenly, his face was full of frost, and he no longer had any kindness towards Li Xiaoli, "Li Xiaoli, do you know what you're talking about?" â
"I know." Li Xiaoli raised his head and said stubbornly.
In front of the people, she is the national goddess; In front of the media, she is a diva in the music world; But in front of the president of the DSP company. She's just an entertainer who has been exploited.
She has to do whatever she is told to do.
Occasional tantrums don't change her situation.
It's not just her, it's the whole of South Korea. No matter if you are the king or queen or any other artist, you are weak in front of the company, unless you open your own company and become the president yourself.
Just like the current mythical combination and the future Jang Keun Suk, he is the president himself, so that he can live like a human being.
But being president is so simple.
Let's start with capital. Artists have always been exploited, and most of the money they make falls into the company's pockets, and their own money is basically not much left after deducting various expenses. It's almost impossible to start a record label.
S.M Company and JYP Company are two examples of artists opening companies. Behind them stood a Korean consortium. If it weren't for the support of those conglomerates, they wouldn't be able to do this.
The reason why the mythical group can start a company is entirely because Li Lin provides funds behind the scenes, and he himself is because the entertainment paradise is constantly absorbing money, otherwise he would not be able to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on filming.
"Know?" Li Haoyan sneered, "You know a fart, if it weren't for our DSP company to praise you." Can you have today? Now that your wings are stiff, you want to fly, and you have to see if you have the capital. â
"I sue you. It's impossible to terminate the contract, don't even think about it. â
Lee Hyori became popular, and DSP was preparing to shake money, how could he let the fat in his mouth fly.
"I must terminate the contract." Lee Hyo-ri's eyes were stern, "No matter what, I have to terminate the contract, even if it is to go to court." â
To court?
Li Haoyan smiled, if all the artists go to court, then the record company doesn't need to be opened, "Lee Hyori, the night in Seoul is very dark, please don't go alone." â
It sounded like concern, but the hidden meaning in the words made Lee Hyo-ri feel cold.
Where there is light, there is darkness, and under the glorious surface of the entertainment industry is endless darkness, and the brokerage company colludes with the Korean underworld to rectify those disobedient artists.
Once the mythical group wanted to rebel against the company, but they were caught and beaten in the night, and then forced by the S.M company, they wore masks on stage to perform.
Li Haoyan saw that the intimidation had an effect, and immediately sneered, "In addition, the river outside Seoul is very deep, you must not go to take a bath." â
Bathe!
It was the sinking corpse, and Lee Hyori's face turned pale.
Li Lin couldn't help but sigh when she saw her like this, she finally understood why Li Xiaoli signed a CAA contract when he signed a DSP company, this is probably looking for CAA's shelter.
What kind of company is CAA, it is the top international brokerage company, in the American entertainment industry, they are almost comparable to Hollywood giants, and even if DSP companies want to move Lee Hyori, they have to look up to CAA.
But even so, Lee Hyori was able to break away from DSP in '08.
Ahem...... Li Lin coughed twice and said softly: "Let me remind President Li that it is illegal to be involved in gangsters!" â
He was not afraid.
In Huaxia, the underworld forces have long been defeated, and the Shenma Gang Shenma Tangkou has been crushed into scum in front of the country's biggest violent machine.
And as a foreign artist, if he encounters a threat from the underworld forces in Seoul, as long as he publicizes it, it will immediately shake China and South Korea and turn it into a diplomatic incident, no matter what, those underworld forces dare not reach out to him.
"Am I involved in the dark?" Li Haoyan glanced at Li Lin indifferently, so that he would not admit that he was involved in crime, "Mr. Li, I respect you as the king of the Chinese music scene, so I treat you as a guest." â
"But please don't take my respect as a ladder."
"Lee Hyori is an artist in our company, what we are going to do, it has nothing to do with outsiders, please don't interfere in our housework."
"Don't think of us as S.M."
In terms of background, the consortium behind him and the consortium behind S.M Company are on par, but Li Xiuman of S.M Company and the consortium behind him have a conflict, and he does not.
"I didn't." Li Lin shook his head, "I'm just friends with Li Xiaoli, so I can't see her being intimidated." â
"In the business world, there are rules in the business world, and if you use those things that are not visible, the business world will be in chaos."
It is okay for the business world to confront each other openly, but it is also okay to secretly use some small means such as buying and stealing secrets, and the company that suffers a loss can only suffer a hidden loss.
But if a company uses black forces. Then he will definitely encounter the rejection of the business community, after all, those who can use the black forces will inevitably be able to use killers, and that kind of means. It can almost be said to disrupt the order.
"The business world? What is Lee Hyori, who dares to talk to me about the business world? Li Haoyan smiled, no matter how popular and popular Li Xiaoli is, he is just an artist, and has nothing to do with the business world.
"What if it's me?"
Ga!
Li Haoyan's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Li Lin, staring at him with a dead gaze. "You want to poach Lee Hyo-ri?"
"Mr. Li, you probably don't understand the rules of the Korean entertainment industry."
"In the Korean entertainment industry, it is not allowed to poach people without permission. Please also consider carefully. â
Li Haoyan kindly reminded, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a touch of mockery.
Yes, it is true that the major agencies in the Korean entertainment industry are opposed to each other, but when facing artists. All brokerage companies will take a unified position.
If any artist dares to terminate the contract with the company and leave. The major brokerage companies will definitely not accommodate her, and they guarantee that her popularity will fall quickly.
It's really not good, and the major brokerage companies will join forces to ban him and ensure that he can't be on any TV station.
"I don't understand, so I'm going to take her to Huaxia." Li Lin said with a smile: "No matter how long the DSP company's hand stretches, or how long all the brokerage companies in South Korea stretch, it can't reach out to Huaxia." â
Huaxia is not a bird to your Korean brokerage company, and even Huaxia's record company still wants Li Lin to start a war with the Korean entertainment industry. In this way, they can openly exclude the Korean entertainment industry from the Chinese market, as for the Asia-Pacific market. I don't have a problem with you.
"Good." Li Haoyan laughed angrily, he slapped Lee Hyori in the face, only to hear a snap, and a slap print appeared on Lee Hyori's face.
Lee Hyori bit her lip and didn't speak, but there was already cold hatred in her eyes.
At this time, she was in the middle of the day, how had she ever been treated like this, and she swore in her heart that even if she died, she would leave the DSP company.
"Mr. Li, this is the rule of the entertainment industry."
Li Haoyan beckoned to Li Xiaoli and motioned for her to come over.
Lee Hyo-ri hesitated, stood in place, and did not pass.
Tear and pull!
Li Haoyan pushed away the chair, walked out by himself, and then kicked over.
Shout!
Li Lin pulled Li Xiaoli away, and Li Haoyan kicked it into the air.
"President Li, you're not calm right now." Li Lin was angry in his heart, beating the artist, or beating the artist in front of him, what did he take him for? When a doll that doesn't have zĂ i?
"I'm calm." The corners of Li Haoyan's mouth hooked up a sneer, "It's you who is not calm, Mr. Li Lin, it's a pity that you would choose to provoke a local Korean behemoth in the Korean market." â
"Doesn't you have an ancient saying in Huaxia that a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake? Let Lee Hyori go, and I'll still treat you like a VIP. â
"What if I said no?" Li Lin's eyes were cold, "What if I refuse?" â
"Refuse?" Li Haoyan smiled, "It seems that you don't understand where you are now." â
"This is South Korea, and it's normal for people to disappear and not find evidence."
Li Haoyan finally tore off the mask of hypocrisy and threatened Li Lin naked*, "Even if you are a Chinese artist, even if it will cause diplomatic disputes if you disappear, as long as you casually launch a scapegoat, it is enough to calm down the turmoil." â
"Really?" Li Lin's face was as cold as frost, "You can try it and see if you can make me disappear, don't forget it, although it's South Korea here, it's normal for a killer to lurk in, and it doesn't matter if you're Korean or not." â
"A South Korean was inexplicably prevented from being killed, I believe that with the incompetence of the South Korean police, there is no evidence to be found, and as for attracting the attention of the above, President Li's identity is still a little smaller."
"For some consortia, Mr. Li's disappearance means something better, such as taking someone's shares."
"You're threatening me?"
"Each other, each other."
The two went toe-to-toe, and neither of them would back down.
Suddenly, Li Lin smiled, "Sister Xiaoli, let's go, I believe that President Li will not make an irrational choice." (To be continued......)
