"There are quite a lot of people."

Li Lin delayed a lot of time because of his conversation with Shen Meng, and when he came over, the people who were eating in the cafeteria were almost there.

He glanced around and found that most Korean artists ate in the cafeteria, except for the mythical group, other male and female groups and solo singers ate in the cafeteria.

On the Chinese side, only a few people eat here, while on the Japanese side, there are no artists who stay here to eat except for members of a girl group.

"Give me two." Li Lin walked to the window and asked for two meals, "Wait a minute, my agent will come over to eat with me, and I will help her get it first." ”

Soon the food was handed over from the aunt's hand.

A whole chicken, stir-fried pork with chili, seaweed egg soup, crab meat with stir-fried cucumber, marinated vegetables with jellyfish and pig's ears, the meal is very hearty and appetizing.

"Why are they all spicy dishes?" Shen Meng, who had just made the call, glanced at the dishes brought by Li Lin and complained, "Don't you know that I don't like to eat spicy dishes?" ”

"Then you can change it yourself." Li Lin rolled his eyes, "Anyway, where is the leader you are talking about?" I only see entertainers. ”

Shen Meng shook Li Lin with a knife and stroked his short hair, "It may be that the leader is not here because of something, and I also learned about it after listening to the staff." ”

"You eat here, I'll change the dishes, women are most likely to get acne when they eat spicy dishes."

"Don't, it's a waste of your dish to be returned." Li Lin stopped: "And what does it matter if you eat a spicy meal?" You don't care about one or two meals when you have acne, do you? ”

As he spoke, Li Lin took a handful of jellyfish and put it in his mouth, clattering and biting. "Look, I'm a spicy singer, what else do you have to be pretentious?"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Shen Meng glanced at Li Lin, but he didn't continue to shout to change the dishes. She just silently tasted one or two mouthfuls of seaweed egg soup, and then took out a napkin to wipe her mouth after eating a few more bites, "I'm full, you can eat slowly here!" ”

After saying that, Shen Meng turned around and left.

After Shen Meng left, Li Lin was silently eating alone, and just as he was about to finish eating, a Korean female artist came over.

"Hi, Li Linxi." Korean female artist, "I'm Lee Hyori. I've heard your "Destiny" and it's amazing. ”

Lee Hyo-ri?

Li Lin raised his head and glanced at the female artist who claimed to be Li Xiaoli, a blue and black knitted sweater. Two large silver earrings hung on them, and the blonde hair was draped casually over the shoulders, sexy and innocent at the same time.

"Are you Lee Hyo-ri? FIN. The captain of K.L? Li Lin couldn't help but ask, if this Li Xiaoli is really the Li Xiaoli in his memory. Then it's amazing.

She made her debut as the captain of FIN.K.L in 98 and became a small hit in South Korea. Although the momentum is not as good as that of other girl groups, the number of fans is still quite large.

Of course, if Lee Hyori was just the captain of FIN.K.L, Li Lin would not be so surprised, the problem is that Lee Hyori's popularity has risen all the way after he flew solo, and he was finally named the Korean sexy diva, and his status in South Korea is equivalent to the status of Hikaru Utada in Japan.

“FIN. K.L has been disbanded. Lee Hyo-ri's gaze was a little dim, and last year, FIN. K.L disbanded due to poor grades, although they said on the surface that FIN.K.L was not disbanded, but the members developed separately and will continue to be active in the future. But both the media and the company understand that the so-called non-disbandment and the so-called independent development of the members are just words they use to comfort their fans.

"It's okay, maybe you'll be together in a few years." Li Lin didn't care much. He clearly knew that FIN.K.L would continue to be together in a few years, and of course, that kind of activity was more like comforting the fans.

"And flying solo is for the better development of Lu."

The group has the advantage of a group, and the members of the group can each attract their own fans, and together they form a huge fan base, and in Korea, no matter how well the solo singer develops, the number of fans is always inferior to the rank of the group, so Korea is the world of the group.

But the combination also has its own disadvantages, and that is money.

If the solo singer develops well, all the money goes into his own pocket, and no matter how well the group singer develops, the money must be divided equally, and the more people in the group, the less money the group members will get.

Like Li Lin's later Super-Junior, he once admitted frankly that although he was popular, he didn't make much money, and after the company took out most of the money, the agent was still drawing, and the rest was their thirteen points, and when they got it, they were higher than ordinary white-collar workers, but their consumption was much higher than that of ordinary white-collar workers.

S.M. once planned to let Super-Junior pay for the stylist's own expenses, but Super-Junior was so scared that he immediately appealed, because if they paid for the stylists in addition to a series of expenses, their income could become negative, after all, the number of stylists needed by the Super-Junior of thirteen people was too much, and even if it was evenly apportioned, it was an unacceptable number.

Don't think that money is not important, where is the conflict between the combination of S.M. and S.M? It's money, the group feels that they are already very popular, and they are the NO.1 in the boy group, but their income is not even comparable to a second-rate solo singer, they are unwilling, they want more income.

In this way, the contradiction arises.

What is S.M's purpose for cultivating artists? Isn't it for the money? In the eyes of S.M, fans are gods, and as for artists, they are cash cows.

God should be treated respectfully and worshiped religiously, and the cash cow should be shaken vigorously, the stronger and faster you shake, the more money will fall from the cash tree, as for whether this cash cow will be shaken off because of the excessive force of shaking, sorry, what does that have to do with me? If the cash cow is broken, it will be broken, just cultivate one.

Under the guidance of such an ideology. HOT terminated the contract, and they picked up the mythical combination, and the mythical combination terminated the contract, and it was TVXQ that replaced them.

"Better development!" Lee Hyo-ri's long hair obscured her eyes, and the development of better Lu was a reason, but it was better to say that her wings were stiff and she wanted to fly.

On the name. Solo singers may not be worse than groups when they work hard, but in terms of profit, group singers can't catch up with solo singers, how many groups have disbanded when they are in full swing throughout the ages, and it's not because their wings are hard and they want to fly!

"If you can sell tens of millions of albums like Li Linxi, it will be a better development." Li Xiaoli's envious eyes fell on Li Lin's body.

"Of course, I know it's impossible."

Throughout the history of Korea. No singer has sold tens of millions of albums.

"Not necessarily." Li Lin smiled, "As long as the song is good, it may not be impossible to sell so much." ”

"No matter how good the song is, it can't be done. The ponds in South Korea are too small to raise real dragons in shallow pools. Lee Hyo-ri added in Li Lin's surprised eyes, "This is what the president of our DSP company said." ”

"I'm just learning to speak."

"It seems that your president has a heart." Li Lin smiled, but he was secretly speechless in his heart. He knew that the cancellation of the Daoist policy and the hegemony of Japanese and Korean records would enter the Chinese music scene. Unexpectedly, even the DSP to which Lee Hyori belongs also wants to enter the Chinese market.

"It seems that the Huaxia market is now surrounded by wolves, and it is the most correct choice to leave at this time to open up new markets."

Li Lin clenched his fist underneath.

"That's right, Li Linxi." Lee Hyo-ri asked, "My company is helping me collect songs, I don't know if I can invite you to sing?" ”

She was a little expectant and a little apprehensive.

Li Lin is a well-known musical genius in China, and her attainments in Korean and Japanese songs are even admired by the music godfathers of the two countries, and she wonders if her invitation to sing will be rejected.

In fact, her idea also came up on an ad hoc basis.

At that time, she saw Li Lin eating here alone, and thought about getting to know her, and after getting to know her, she remembered that her first solo album was still missing. I thought about inviting Li Lin to sing, hoping to come out with another song as popular as "Destiny".

Although Li Lin's album did not sell well in South Korea. The sales are also at the level of first-line singers, and the popular group is not comparable at all, but the online sound source download of the song "Destiny" is quite fierce, and the rave reviews, if it were not for Li Lin's album is a Chinese album and did not come to South Korea for activities, this album could not have sunk.

"Invite a song?" Li Lin thought for a while and agreed, "Yes." ”

"But I haven't written a Korean song yet, so you may have to wait a while."

"It's March, I'll go to Korea in March, and I'll bring you your songs then."

Li Lin is paving the way for his entry into South Korea.

If rain is the general trend in South Korea in 02, then Lee Hyori is the general trend in 03, a "LeeHyoLee Vol.1" swept the major music awards in the entire Korean music scene, and it can be said that it is soft to win awards.

In the search rate of "2003 Highest Keywords" on the Yahoo website in South Korea, Lee Hyori also overwhelmed RAIN and became the first.

Now sell Lee Hyori a favor, and you can come back in the future.

"Li Linxi wants to enter South Korea?" Li Xiaoli was shocked by the news, "Aren't you developing in Huaxia?" ”

Li Lin has just sold tens of millions of albums, and the momentum is on fire, and he suddenly said that he was going to South Korea, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a thriller that scares people to death.

Li Lin said with a smile, "Temporarily go to South Korea to explore the market, after all, the Korean market is an important component of the Asia-Pacific market, and if I want to become a king-level singer, South Korea is an unavoidable hurdle." ”

"Why is it not the Japanese market?" Li Xiaoli asked again, her words were purely curious, and did not contain any interest factors, after all, Li Lin is a man, and the market overlap with her is not high.

"If you look at Hikaru Utada's attitude towards me, you can see how miserable I will be if I go to Japan to develop." Li Lin put the blame on Hikaru Utada.

Li Xiaoli nodded, "That's right, Li Lin is really pitiful." (To be continued......)
