Chapter 113: Deliberation

The A.P company, which was under the control of the two heroes, returned to normal order in a short period of time, and all the work began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

On such a warm sunny afternoon, in the office of the president of A.P Company, Kim Young-min and Choi Jung-won sat by the window, brewed a pot of fragrant tea, and chatted.

Of course, when their status reaches their level, even small talk is something to say, and every word is inseparable from work. It's just that in such a quiet environment, it is more comfortable and comfortable to communicate. It's not like a usual suit and leather shoes, and it's in a hurry.

Kim Young-min put a document in front of Choi Jung-won, "You see, this is the agreement signed between our company and Sony Records, is there anything else that needs to be added"?

Cui Zhengyuan picked it up, looked at it slightly, and then put the document back on the table.

During Kim Young-min's trip to the United States, the details of the exchange were perfected, and all the links were clear in his mind. The content on the document, Cui Zhengyuan is about to memorize it backwards. The reason why I will check it out is just to reassure Kim Young-min.

Caution applies equally to collaborators.

Picking up the teacup, Ren Miaomiao's water vapor floated in front of him, and Cui Zhengyuan asked, "Brother, when will I go to the United States to start publicity?"

"In August, Zhang Jiadu should have completed the preparation of the branch. I will gradually dispatch the relevant personnel in the near future, and your brokerage contract will also be signed at the branch, so that it is convenient for you to cooperate in the United States."

Choi Jung-won's acting contract is represented by the U.S. branch of A.P., which makes it easier for him to carry out activities in Europe and the United States. It is not easy for Asian artists to show their talents in Europe and the United States, and the best way to do so is to integrate into the local area.

In addition, A.P is destined to move towards shijie in the future. There is a branch in the United States, which is also convenient for its artists to carry out activities in this Shijie entertainment center. In addition, the branch is also responsible for recruiting trainees in the United States, mainly for young Koreans and Asians living in the United States.

"Oh August"? Cui Zhengyuan pondered for a while, and then was distressed, "In this case, won't I be able to catch up with Brother Xiang's debut?"

Kim Young-min shrugged in an American style, "That's no way, work comes first." Don't worry, he won't blame you."

"Brother, where do you want to go"? Cui Zhengyuan raised his eyebrows, "I'm the art director, if I'm not there, I'm just afraid that they won't be able to figure out Brother Zaixiang's planning."

"Put your heart back in your belly, our company is full of talents. When I didn't have you before, wouldn't those people do a good job? It's up to you to do everything, not to mention whether you're busy or not, and it also makes others have no chance to exercise, isn't it?" Kim Young-min didn't know that Choi Jung-won Weishenme was so attentive to the activities of every artist, but he just straightened out his business style from the perspective of human resource management.

Cui Zhengyuan was embarrassed and rubbed his nose embarrassedly. He still understands how to use talent. It's just that because of the memory of a lifetime, he is afraid that once he is out of his control, those well-known celebrities will not be able to get very good development, which is not in his interests.

Now that he has listened to Kim Young-min's words, he has also realized that something is wrong.

These famous artists in their previous lives were able to achieve fame, but it was because of their own strength that they could finally get to that position. Even if there is no control from him, all roads lead to Rome, and Zuihou will definitely succeed. It is impossible for a pie to fall from the sky.

Thinking of this, Cui Zhengyuan suddenly felt lighter, as if he had gotten rid of a heavy burden that he had been carrying for a long time.

Kim Young-min has been away for a long time and is more concerned about the progress of the company, so he asked, "Are there any other projects in the company running now?"

"It's almost time for this period of work to come to an end. Before May, we were really busy. It's not just the artists who are busy, but all the staff who are busy." Choi Jeong-won has been in charge of the overall situation and knows the situation well.

Think about it from after New Year's Day, first Kim Jong Kook's solo album, and then Lee Jung-hyun's follow-up song promotional activities.

The two crews of "Blue Life and Death Love" and "My Sassy Girlfriend" have been working continuously for more than half a year.

Around the New Year, I was even busier and couldn't find the north. All kinds of celebrations, all kinds of catwalks, all kinds of commercial performances, wave after wave, never stopped.

and then "Blue Life and Death Love" was released, and it became popular all the way. The popularity of the two leading actors, Won Bin and Song Hye Kyo, is bursting, and various advertisements, performances, and announcements are piling up.

Cui Zhengyuan silently calculated, from March to now, the two of them may not have had more than three days of rest together, and they slept no more than seven hours a day. This is still the result of Cui Zhengyuan's repeated deliberation and cancellation of many irrelevant trips.

Then Leessang debuted, and Choi Jung-won tried his best to help them gain a firm foothold for the future of this HIP-POP group, and took a solid step on the road of acting.

Zuihou is another massive anti-corruption action, like a storm, completely cleansing the entire company from top to bottom.

The whole company was like an overloaded machine, running at full capacity for almost half a year, and almost everyone's energy was exhausted.

Today is June 1st, and the crew of "My Sassy Girlfriend" has been completed.

Guo Jae-yong and the crew are in post-production, and when the summer season arrives, the film will be released.

Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun, who finished filming, are also idle and are recuperating at home. After the movie is released, they will have to carry out non-stop publicity work, and they will be tired by then.

In other words, throughout the month of June, A.P will not make any big moves and will begin to enter a period of recuperation.

It's time to settle down, and the half-year-long trend has earned enough eyeballs and money for A.P companies, and has also forced other entertainment companies into an embarrassing situation. If it continues like this, it will really become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of others. Money can never be earned, and there is no need to offend others to death.

Kim Young-min is worthy of being a natural manager in terms of corporate culture, and after listening to Choi Jung-won's statement, he keenly discovered the problem. After some contemplation, he affirmed Choi Jung-won's practice of putting it off.

Proper rest, not to stagnation, but to go further in the accumulation of liliang. Adequate preparation can make A.P go further.

He wasn't worried at all that if he stopped, A.P would lose the motivation to move forward again. Don't forget, Choi Jung-won will soon go to the United States to release his first solo EP. Thinking about the power of that Divine Comedy, A.P will definitely jump out of the narrow market of South Korea and soar to the sky.

"That's it, Zhengyuan, you see that during this time, I have been tired up and down. Why don't you have a company fund and organize employees and artists to do a short MT? The first is to let everyone relax, and the second is to allow everyone to communicate more conveniently within a relaxed range, and promote future cooperation and division of labor."

"Oh"? Cui Zhengyuan's eyes lit up and nodded again and again.

"Yes, that's a good idea. Our company is not only a place for people to work hard, but also for employees to feel the warmth of family."

Seeing that he agreed, Jin Yingmin clapped his hand and said: "In this way, in the next few days, find a time to coordinate everyone's schedule, and set aside one or two days." Except for the work that can't be stopped, the rest of us go out in groups."

Cui Zhengyuan added: "Not only staff and artists, but also trainees. These people are the hope for the future of the company, and it is important for them to feel a sense of belonging."

The trainees only signed a simple practice contract with the agency, and although the company was responsible for the training, due to the fierce competition in the entertainment industry in South Korea, not necessarily one out of ten trainees could make their debut. Therefore, brokerage companies basically do not treat trainees as members of the company.

Kim Young-min instinctively wanted to object, but when he thought about it, he was just a child. With more of these people, it won't cost much.

Besides, even if only a small number of these trainees can make their debut in the future, with this home-like home, the effect will far exceed the effort of MT this time.

How did he know that there was such a cheating device as Cui Zhengyuan. Among the trainees like turnips in the company, there will be countless dazzling pearls in the future. These people are the top existence in the future of the Korean entertainment industry, and relying on them, A.P Company finally overwhelmed the crowd and monopolized the throne of Korea's No. 1 entertainment company.

Now that the two have unified their ideas, the next step is to study the specific plan.

This is the first social event held by A.P, and the number of participants is expected to exceed 800. With so many people, of course, it is impossible to go all at once. Otherwise, it will definitely not be possible to exhaust the organizers to death.

In response to this situation, the two decided to complete it in two parts.

One group is mainly staffed, led by Kim Young-min. These people are white-collar workers, have a common language, and go out to play without any difference from ordinary companies.

The other group is artists and trainees, who also have a common topic. It is most appropriate to arrange this group of people, and Cui Zhengyuan, the art director, is in charge.

Due to the large number of people, it is not possible to travel too long distances. So the two decided to choose a place with beautiful scenery, good natural environment, and not a tourist area around Seoul to do a buffet picnic-style MT activity.

The two of them studied carefully and finally settled on a place in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do.

Here, A.P Company has a simple film and television base, which is basically idle and useless except for the shooting of film and television works.

This base is on the outskirts of Hongchuan City, close to the mountains and water, with picturesque scenery and fresh air. In addition, it is not a scenic area, there are no tourists at all, and artists are not worried about being disturbed when they go here. Moreover, there are many houses in the base, which is enough for so many people.

After the decision is made, the two of them will go separately to inform the people in their respective responsible parts and prepare to start acting.

The staff in charge of Kim Young-min is okay, everyone usually works from 9 to 5. The time is uniform and easy to arrange. So, he had one more job, requiring the logistics department to prepare cooking utensils, vehicles, foodstuffs, entertainment equipment, etc.

Cui Zhengyuan has a lot of trouble here, and the artists' schedules are erratic, so he has to notify each artist's agent one by one and arrange time.

The artists have been busy for half a year, and suddenly received a notice that the company has prepared an MT event for everyone to reward everyone for their hard work. For a while, they were pleasantly surprised, cheering and grateful for the company's thoughtfulness. Among them, Kim Jong Kook, as a representative of the artist, specially went to Cui Zhengyuan's office to thank him, and Cui Dae was very embarrassed.

It took three days to unify the itinerary of all the artists, and Cui Zhengyuan was really tired. At the same time, for the first time, I empathized with the difficulty of artists.
