Chapter 1115 - Whatever It Takes
"Boss!"
In the base camp of the Korean branch of the celebrity film and television company, Li Siheng and Li Siwei stood beside Menjie respectfully, reporting to Menjie a series of achievements made by the two of them in South Korea for a long time recently.
Originally, the power of the Korean branch of the celebrity film and television company was basically in the hands of Li Siheng, and his younger brother Li Siwei was a little not very calm in terms of personality, but it was not suitable.
However, after grinding for a while, and Menjie felt that the loyalty of the two brothers was not bad, he finally negotiated with Wan Tongtong, and began to cultivate and promote Li Siwei.
Up to now, the two brothers Li Siheng and Li Siwei have fully grown up and have supported the entire celebrity film and television company in South Korea.
Just like the Huayi Brothers Entertainment Company back then, it was the two brothers who were in power.
"You don't need to report these achievements and data to me, you just need to report them to Wan Tongtong!"
After listening for a while, Menjie waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care much about it.
It's all small things, and Menjie doesn't have much time and energy to pay attention to.
"But when I came on the way, I suddenly thought of something, I don't know what you think!"
Immediately afterwards, the two brothers Li Siheng and Li Siwei made a look of deafness.
"It's about the development of new people! On the way, I have already discussed with Wan Tongtong, in terms of newcomer training, because of national conditions and other reasons. There is a big difference between Huaxia and South Korea, I don't know what the two of you think about it! ”
As he spoke, Menjie discussed some of the issues that he had just negotiated with Wan Tongtong on the phone. I gave you a general introduction to the two of them.
At the beginning, Menjie planned to cooperate with some well-known colleges and universities in Huaxia, but after talking to Wan Tongtong on the phone and chatting for a while, he temporarily put down such an idea.
At present, in Huaxia, the celebrity film and television company can only barely be regarded as a top company, and there is still a big gap compared with the other eight top entertainment companies. It is still very difficult to win the favor of some well-known universities and achieve in-depth cooperation.
Moreover, there are many top colleges and universities in China, and the population base is extremely large. At present, even if it does not require too much training, a lot of talents can emerge.
It is true that the talent training plan should be carried out, but there is no need to rush it. You can wait until the celebrity film and television company is stronger before thinking about it.
And compared to Korean star artists. Huaxia's star artists are obviously more free, the agency will not oppress too much, and they themselves have a lot of choice.
If the celebrity film and television company can provide them with enough resources and temptations, there will definitely be many people who are willing to break the contract, pay a liquidated damages, or join the celebrity film and television company after the short contract expires.
At least for the next ten years. Celebrity film and television companies are not worried about not being able to get more talent in Huaxia.
Therefore, at present, there is no need to bother with the evolution of human resource development.
Rather, it's South Korea. More needed.
Because of the small population base, the slight scarcity of talents, and the fact that South Korean entertainment companies are notoriously strong, it is definitely more difficult for celebrity film and television companies to poach people in South Korea than in China.
It is difficult to dig up talents, and talent training planning is particularly important.
"Talent development? We're going to do that too! ”
Listening to Menjie's words, Li Siheng said directly, obviously he had such an idea in his heart.
"Recently, we have contacted a lot of capable talents, and after a period of negotiation, we have reached an agreement with a small number of them to join our celebrity film and television company at any time, and I am planning to submit this issue to the headquarters in the next few days!"
"What kind of people are they? I'll see what you think, if you can, you don't need too cumbersome procedures, I can promise you directly! ”
Hearing this, the two Li Siheng brothers were immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Mainly some acting and management talents, after all, our celebrity film and television company is a company that focuses on TV dramas, so I mainly take this into account when practicing teachers!" ”
"Although compared with music, lyrics, composition, and dance talents, talents in acting are more rare, and most of them are controlled by large companies, which is difficult to recruit, but I have spent a long time communicating and working hard, but I have also mastered some talents, as long as the boss nods, our company can also quickly create its own trainee system, and continue to cultivate new people!"
"Change it!"
Menjie didn't say much, just said three words, which made Li Siwei a little puzzled.
"Your idea is very good, and you are doing it very well, but there are some things that you don't know, so this idea of yours should be revised!"
Menjie explained again, but Li Siwei frowned slightly, and he really couldn't figure out where his thoughts needed to be changed.
Isn't this a normal procedure?
"What do you think is the main purpose of my visit to South Korea?"
Without giving a direct reply, Menjie asked softly, but Li Siheng was slightly stunned.
Drama? Menjie has countless opportunities and obviously won't be in the show.
KBS TV? At present, the cooperation is very pleasant, and I am trying to digest the cake they give, and it seems that there is not much important communication.
Publicize? Is there anything you need to promote?
The current Menjie is so busy with work, if Menjie came to South Korea to hang out, the two definitely don't believe it, but they can't think of the real purpose of Menjie's coming anyway.
"Let me tell you, I came here this time mainly to negotiate with S.M, and I want to have a deeper exchange in music!"
This time. The two were even more confused.
Isn't the company signed by Menjie in South Korea S.M? Could it be that Menjie is going to release a new album?
"Including S.M, all the famous singers and groups. In addition to their own country, after it is booming, it must be sent to other countries, after all, South Korea's local market is too small and too competitive! And their first choice is Japan, which is known as the 'Asian box office', with an incomparably developed and rule-based entertainment industry! ”
"And the singers and groups sent to Japan by S.M Company were handed over to a very powerful entertainment company in Japan, 'Ai Hui Company' for operation!"
However, in recent years, with the Chinese entertainment industry becoming more and more standardized. As well as the huge population base, many countries, including South Korea, have also begun to set their sights on China. The purpose of my coming here this time is to take away the cooperation rights in China from S.M, just like the Aihui company in Japan! ”
"Boss, you're going to start a music company?"
Listened to Menjie's words. Li Siheng couldn't help but feel like a whole for a while. Snorted lightly.
If Menjie wants to take away the contract of S.M's star artist in Huaxia, he naturally has a certain amount of music promotion, sales and production capabilities in Huaxia, and there is no doubt that Menjie wants to start his own music company in Huaxia!
"Yes, in fact, I had this plan for a long time, and this time it was the same as the person I co-founded the company with. They are all the leading musicians in the whole of China, and their ability to compose lyrics and music is quite extraordinary. I believe that with the influence of the two of us, it is very easy to start the company! ”
As he spoke, Men Jie grinned, "My partner is Jay Chou!" ”
Jay Chou!
Hearing this name, Li Siwei and Li Siheng's eyes widened suddenly.
Menjie, who is known as the strongest king of the new generation in the mainland of China, and Jay Chou, who is known as the strongest king of the new generation in China, are going to cooperate?
Although Menjie's influence and achievements in the Chinese music scene are weaker than Jay Chou's, because the achievements in movies are too high, Menjie has the popularity of Jay Chou.
Both of them are superstars, and their future development is also immeasurable, and they are both excellent musicians......
Coming together and starting a music company together is definitely very easy, right?
However, as an excellent manager, Li Siheng immediately wanted more questions.
The most important thing is what kind of benefits you, or the Korean branch of a celebrity film and television company, can get in it!
"Don't worry, since I'm going to start a music company in Huaxia, it's impossible to ignore South Korea!"
Seeing Li Siheng's concern, Menjie waved his hand and said indifferently.
"In South Korea, I will also start a music company, but in South Korea, all the companies are owned by me, and I will not add Jay Chou!"
The agreement between Men Jie and Jay Chou is only to set up a company in Huaxia.
If you start a company in Huaxia, Jay Chou's connections, Jay Chou's talent, Jay Chou's popularity, etc., will help the company, which is the foundation of Menjie's cooperation with him.
If he had nothing, Menjie would definitely not cooperate with him, even if it was a good personal relationship.
Friendship is friendship, interests are interests, and they cannot be confused.
In Huaxia, Jay Chou was able to help himself and speed up the development of the music company by double, so Jie Chou brought him.
But in South Korea......
Jay Chou is indeed popular, but it is just popularity.
The effect may not be as good as spending a lot of money to dig up some super popular superstars!
In South Korea, Jay Chou has no connections, and his creative style does not quite fit the feeling here, which does not help Menjie much.
So on the Korean side, Menjie only intends to develop on his own.
"As long as the boss doesn't forget this, it doesn't matter who you work with, we all believe that as long as there is a boss and you, the company will definitely be able to grow and develop!"
Seeing that Menjie had the idea of starting a music company in South Korea, Li Siheng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"But boss, since you are also going to set up a company in South Korea, why do you have to come here and negotiate cooperation with S.M?"
Li Siwei on the side couldn't figure it out, and asked out loud.
"No matter how powerful and rich I am, I can't quickly develop a Korean music company, right? It will take a while. Talent recruitment, talent development, it takes time, I'm not a god. If you can't pull out a person directly, let her debut, and then she will become popular! ”
smiled bitterly, and said softly, "Since you want to develop in the Korean music scene, you naturally have to abide by the rules here, and you will poach some trainees from other companies in advance." Keep cultivating, and then push it out when it feels appropriate, and don't rush it. It's not good! ”
"I see!"
A different color flashed in his eyes, but Li Siheng on the side reacted sensitively and said directly, "Boss, you just said that my ideas are a little insufficient. That's it, right? ”
"I just thought. It's just that we want to recruit talents in acting, but in fact, the boss wants to start a music company in Korea as well, so other teachers such as singing, lyrics, composition, dance, etc., as well as excellent musicians, must also be recruited, right? ”
"Not bad!"
Nodding slightly, Men Jie was also very satisfied with Li Siheng's keen sense of smell, "That's it, whether it's music or acting talents." As long as you determine the right talent, you can recruit into our company! ”
"But the boss. If it's just a talent in acting, it's okay, but a talent in music...... Yes, I know a lot of great people, but the budget is ......."
"You don't have to worry about that!"
As a top local tyrant in China, in terms of money, Menjie will definitely not be stingy at all, with a wave of his hand, he said with a rather heroic appearance, "The current company lacks everything, but it is not short of money!" These days, you go to contact first, and when you go back, I will directly call you 100 million soft girl coins and hand it over to you to operate! And this is only the first money, and in the future, the company will continue to send resources here! Cultivating singers and newcomers is not something that can be effective in a while, and it will take at least a few years of continuous investment! ”
One hundred million?!
Hearing this number from Menjie's mouth, the two Li Siheng brothers only felt dizzy in their heads.
100 million soft girl coins, about 156 billion won.
With such a large sum of money, why not enough? Even so far, the cost of several TV series invested by celebrity film and television companies has all been added together, which is this number, right?
And now, just to build the company, Menjie has invested so much money?
It's really not bad for money!
"Don't be too happy, thinking that you can spend money, invest, and build lavishly, and you can just use the money to smash those who are wavering and hesitant to join our company without saying a word?!"
When Li Siheng and Li Siwei were rejoicing, Menjie splashed a basin of cold water.
"The previous Korean branch of the celebrity film and television company adds up to so many people, but then there will be a lot of acting and music teachers, behind-the-scenes staff, acting trainees, singer trainees, and the number of people in the company will rise several stages, and the current headquarters is a little small, but there are new company leasing and decoration costs in this money!"
"At the same time, you think I'm just starting a music company? Just sign a few people first? Hum! Check it out! ”
As he spoke, Menjie threw a document directly on the table.
After getting Menjie's signal, the two hurriedly picked it up, looked at it, and their eyes widened.
On this, there are a series of names and information written on it, and when you count them carefully, there are already nearly twenty people!
"These people are all very good seedlings, I learned through various channels that you don't know about the way, and I'm not afraid to tell you that I want to sign these people, not the kind of trainees who sign loose contracts, but trainees who are ready to be vigorously trained!"
A trainee who has been vigorously trained?
His eyes widened, and for a while, Li Siheng didn't know what to say.
In South Korea, the selection of trainees is quite cruel, and only a dozen or even dozens of ordinary trainees may be able to give birth to an artist.
Now, Menjie wants to vigorously cultivate more than ten or twenty newcomers in one go? I'm afraid that S.M, the leading company in South Korea, wouldn't do that?
How many resources does this consume?
Don't you feel wasted?
However, Menjie didn't pay attention to Li Siheng's entanglement, and continued, "In the list I gave you, there is no specific information about them, so I'll leave it to you to investigate, among these people, some of them may still be students, some of them may have been trainees in other entertainment companies, and some of them may even be regarded as the target of key training by other jobs, and I don't know what kind of state they are in now!" ”
"But I don't care who they are now, I give this list to you for one purpose! Sign them at all costs! ”
Not spare...... All costs?!
This word made Li Siheng a little surprised.
If these people are ordinary students, it is naturally simple.
If these people are already working as trainees in certain companies, it is a little more troublesome, but they can also be signed.
But if they are already the target of other companies' key training, it is a little difficult to sign them.
Li Siheng just now was also a little entangled, and he didn't know what to do.
However, after hearing what Menjie said, 'do whatever it takes', I felt a shock all over my body and my blood boiled.
At this time, Li Siheng remembered that the big boss he followed was a super-rich man worth tens of billions of won, equivalent to trillions of won.
What can be done with money is not a matter at all for your own boss!
I don't care how much money I spent, as long as I wasn't wronged, I was fooled too badly!
And not to mention Menjie's assets, even the hundreds of millions of soft girl coins earned from excellent works such as the TV series "The Rumored Seven Princesses" are enough for Li Siheng to frantically smash the people on the list with money.
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
After getting Menjie's assurance, Li Siheng didn't say a word, shouted loudly, and expressed his determination. (To be continued......)
