Chapter 333: Korean Trainees

In Seoul, South Korea, Li Lin flew in again.

This time he not only brought his own team, but also Qi Xiangdong.

"Xiangdong, when you go to Nexon, remember to take the agency of Bubble Hall (it was pitted, I just found out that Bubble Hall was issued in April 03 instead of April 04, everyone will take a look), of course, it is as low as possible to take Bubble Hall." Li Lin said: "Also, I remember that Nexon was working on a game called MapleStory Island. ”

"Take the agency down too."

"Adventure Island? Newly developed online game. Qi Xiangdong was surprised, "Doesn't it need to be tested in Korea?" ”

Game agency is risky, and the usual practice of the agent is to see how the game runs in the country, and then go to the agency if it is good, of course, a very small number will rely on their own eyes to see the game.

But after thinking about it, Qi Xiangdong felt that he was a little worried.

The person in front of me is a very small number of people who represented "World of Warcraft" when "World of Warcraft" was still in beta, and "League of Legends" was just completed and was represented when the test was about to be held.

"It doesn't seem strange to be acting for Bubble Hall and Adventure Island now."

"But ......."

Qi Xiangdong's thoughts turned, "Does Li always have inside information?" ”

MapleStory is still under development, just announcing the name and progress, Li Lin announced the agent, I think there is some inside information.

It may sound like inside information is mysterious, but in fact inside information is not mysterious at all. As long as you want, it's still easy to dig up a little bit of information, or even dig up secrets. It's not impossible.

The recent "World of Warcraft" source code leak incident, and the previous CS source code leak incident, the former is okay to say, after all, it has begun internal testing, but the latter has just been developed, and the source code has been leaked, to say that there is no other company behind it. Ghosts don't believe it.

"MapleStory is signed for five years! The amount can be a bit higher than that of Bubble Hall. Li Lin waved his hand and said proudly.

The popularity of World of Warcraft and League of Legends has given him an extremely good cash flow, as long as anyone who is not blind knows it. Both of his games are online games that attract more than 100 million dollars a year, and the difference is that they break hundreds of millions.

Therefore, many banks came to the door to ask for loans to Li Lin, and he suddenly had a lot of ease.

If it weren't for the fact that DNF hadn't been developed at this time, he would have wanted to act as an agent for DNF.

Bubble Hall. Adventure Island. Audition, Dungeons & Warriors, CrossFire, and Korean games that will be popular in the future all want to be in his hands.

In addition to this, there are other online game markets that are on the rise.

Web and mobile games.

A web game is a web game, while a mobile game is a mobile game.

Needless to say, the masterpiece is the farm, which has been popular for a while. Although the ability to absorb gold is not as good as that of the terminal game, it is better than the research and development time.

A slightly more refined page game is developed in two or three months. A little rougher can be done in a month, which is unthinkable if it is placed on the terminal game.

Except for the reskinning of the terminal game, it is normal for any terminal game to take more than a year to develop, or even four or five years for a game to develop.

The short development cycle, strong ability to absorb gold, and low investment are the characteristics of the page game, but unfortunately, the shortcomings of the page game are also obvious, that is, the life span is short.

Page games usually only have a lifespan of a few months, and even some shoddy page games are popular, and people become ghosts in a few weeks, which is no different from legendary SF.

As for mobile games, they are games that have become popular with smartphones.

Mobile games have been around for a long time, but the concept of mobile games really took shape when the iPhone was popular, and in 12 years, mobile games gradually formed a scale.

In 14 years, the market size of mobile games has gradually caught up to half of that of terminal games.

Some well-selling mobile games can even attract more than 10 million dollars a day.

He remembers that the most popular mobile game attracts more than 30 million dollars a day, which can be described as a profiteering industry, but the flaws of mobile games are also obvious, and it needs the recommendation of the platform.

There are recommended mobile games and those that are not recommended are not completed at the same level.

Under the same quality, it is normal for a recommended mobile game to attract more than 10 million yuan per day, but it is great for a mobile game that is not recommended to attract more than 10,000 yuan a day, which is a market with a huge gap between the rich and the poor.

And this has also caused the phenomenon of the platform making money.

A mobile game makes money on the platform, and the platform has to take the lion's share, like Tencent and 360's platforms, which generally take away 5 to 7 layers of commission, and the rest is owned by the mobile game manufacturer.

And the life of mobile games is not much better than that of web games, a few months is enough time to make a mobile game a ghost suit, and legendary, World of Warcraft, which has been operating for more than ten years and still has a strong ability to attract money, mobile games are completely making quick money, and they will die if they are cool.

"The platform can take the lead." Li Lin's heart swirled with thoughts.

"Okay."

Qi Xiangdong answered and said goodbye to Li Lin and left.

He went to talk to Nexon about representation.

Li Lin left the airport and immediately went to the Mythical Combination Company.

Moon Yeong-hyuk, the captain of the Mythical Group, personally received him.

"Li Linxi." Wen Yee-hyuk gave Li Lin a hug, "The beauty era you said has been fully formed, and the boy group is about to be launched, do you want to see the children?" ”

The children? Li Lin was stunned for a moment, and then this is a name for South Korea.

In Korea, especially in entertainment companies, the top management is particularly fond of calling trainees children, and it is said that this is to cultivate a sense of home.

But which one would push the trainees and even artists of their own company to those rich businessmen and politicians?

"Go." Li Lin said with a smile that he came to South Korea to shoot "The King's Man", but he is not in a hurry, he has a lot of time, this year he just arranged an album and a movie for himself, which is very relaxed.

"I promise the kids will make you very satisfied." Moon Hyun Hyuk got into the car with a smile and led the way in front.

The vehicle started slowly, and soon came to the building of the Shinhwa Combo Company.

The building looks dilapidated and quite outdated, but it is very lively with people coming and going, and this is the address of the Mythical Combination Company, which is of course rented.

South Korea is similar to China, it is a polarized country, in Seoul, the land is very expensive, and in the countryside, the land is very cheap, even if it is like the rotten building in front of them, the rent is quite expensive, if it were not for the Mythical Combination Company with Li Lin's capital injection, they would not dare to rent in this kind of place at all.

Walking into the practice room in the building, Li Lin saw a group of handsome men and beautiful women practicing dancing inside.

"According to your requirements, all of them are handsome guys and beautiful women." Wen Yanhe smiled softly, very proud.

The most developed place in South Korea is plastic surgery, as long as you want to, as long as you have money, even an ugly girl can be made into a beauty, so there are no ugly artists in the Korean entertainment industry, if there is, this must be a lazy person.

"Welcome to Mythical Combinations." Li Minyu of the mythical group greeted him and said with a smile: "The children here are all very hard-working. ”

Li Lin's gaze swept over these trainees and nodded slightly.

These trainees were indeed working hard, and it was evident from the sweat on their bodies that they had been training for a long time before he arrived, after all, it was spring, not summer.

"Just work hard." Li Lin said with a smile: "Only by working hard can we be an instant hit in the future." ”

"The efforts of the present are the prosperity of the future."

Li Lin's voice sounded, which immediately attracted the attention of many trainees, and when they heard the words, they couldn't help but agree in their hearts.

In the Korean entertainment industry, trainees need to be assessed every month, and generally speaking, the person with the most assessment scores will make his debut, of course, this is not absolute, but the odds are definitely much greater than others.

Therefore, the word hard work is an absolute rule in the Korean entertainment industry.

Seeing the trainee's gaze, Wen Yanhe said lightly: "This is the major shareholder of the Mythical Combination Company and the king of Asia. ”

Wen Yanhe's words made the eyes of the trainees present brighten, and many female trainees even set their eyes on Li Lin, and the desire in their eyes was obvious.

All of a sudden, Li Lin understood that the darkness of Korean entertainment companies also exists in the mythical combination company, otherwise these women should be reserved, rather than naked* desire and temptation.

But he wasn't prepared to correct it.

For him, Shinhwa is just a nail in the coffin in the Korean market, and if he enters the Korean market in the future, Shinhwa will provide him with convenience, that's all.

Make hay? He never thought that the local market in South Korea was too small, and the entertainment companies all survived by squeezing artists, and he couldn't look down on that income at all.

"Hello." Li Lin smiled faintly, "Although I am the major shareholder of the Mythical Combination Company, I generally don't meddle in the affairs of the Mythical Combination Company, so this company is named after the Mythical Combination." ”

As soon as he spoke, the eyes of many female trainees dimmed.

They thought it was an opportunity, but they didn't expect it to be just a void.

"Of course, since I have invested in this company, I hope that this company can make money, and whether a company can make money or not, the first thing to look at is the cultivation of new artists."

The Mythical Group signed a 3:7 share for themselves, which is almost equivalent to the top contract of this era, but because they have their own stake relationship, their share is actually more.

Except for the basic expenses, Li Lin actually didn't make money on the Mythical Combination Company.

"So in the next period of time, we will launch two combinations, one is a women's group and the other is a men's group."

Swish!

The eyes of the trainees present lit up, and their hearts were beating one by one, hoping that they could be selected.

"As long as you work hard, you will have a chance." (To be continued......)
