Chapter 45: Routine Questioning
"You've been busy lately, haven't you?"
Before he got off work in the evening, Li Xiuman was in his office, facing Wen Chengyou, who was sitting opposite, and asked casually. I have been looking for Wen Chengyou for a long time, but Wen Chengyou is really busy, and most importantly, he also knows what Li Xiuman is looking for him, so he deliberately avoids seeing him.
It's just that today can't be avoided no matter what, because of the rapid popularity of their youth, they are about to release a new album, and their every move can even affect the company's stock situation to some extent, and talking with such a reason is also unavoidable by Wen Chengyou.
Hearing Li Xiuman's inquiry, Wen Chengyou took a breath and looked up with a smile: "It's okay." The crew is now in Hungary, and Representative Ann has followed, so I can be a little more relaxed. β
Since you can't avoid it, then face it calmly. And during that period of delay, many things have been prepared, and now it is also time for a showdown and strive for the dust to settle.
Li Xiuman nodded and took out a document and put it in front of him casually: "Just say that there are always people who can't find you, since you can come over today, let's talk about the work of the recent period." β
Pointing to the document, Li Xiuman spoke: "I don't interfere with anything else, and under your operation when I was young, the development was also very good." You just have to explain, what is going on with this film and television drama production company affiliated with S.M? β
Wen Chengyou pretended to look at it a few times, and then pretended to look up suddenly: "I also thought that Weishenme was about undertaking the production and filming of "Iris" a while ago, and I was not good at registering a company by myself for a while, and I needed procedures and documents in all aspects. Therefore, it was established and attached in the name of the company. β
Looking at Li Xiuman suspiciously, Wen Chengyou frowned: "Is there something wrong with this company that is causing trouble to the company?" β
Without waiting for Li Xiuman to speak, Wen Chengyou waved his hand with a serious expression: "Director Li rest assured, it's just an affiliation, no matter what goes wrong, I will definitely be responsible for myself, and I will definitely not implicate the company in the slightest." And if it has caused reputational or financial damage to the company. I will also double the compensation and make a guarantee in the name of my S.M director. β
Li Xiuman curled the corners of his mouth and looked at him with a chuckle: "The son of the Wen family, sure enough, everyone has the demeanor of everyone." β
After a pause, Li Xiuman flipped through the document casually, and asked casually after a while: "I also found Cui Siyuan's family to persuade him...... Was it your brother's idea? β
Wen Chengyou shrugged: "I don't quite understand what Director Li said. β
Li Xiuman sighed, leaned back in the chair and shook his head: "I'm sure you don't understand what I'm saying, but the premise is that he didn't tell you." β
Leaning forward, Li Xiuman frowned and looked directly at Wen Chengyou, who was smiling disapprerovitically: "If you have something to say, there is a pie in the sky." After the launch of HOT's debut, I never thought about it again. Since it is a company affiliated with S.M, how can it still invest in "IRIS" in the name of the company? β
Wen Chengyou smiled: "The affiliated company also belongs to S.M at least nominally." Naturally, investment is also counted. β
Wen Chengyou waved his hand and looked at Li Xiuman: "Don't worry, the money has been invested." Not much, two billion. And I don't have to burden it with S.M. Everyone shares to make money, and everyone doesn't have to lose anything to lose money. β
Li Xiuman shook his head: "That's what I want to ask, for no reason, weishenme wants to do this kind of thing?" I don't believe you have the money to spend it for nothing. It is better to go to the city center and give money to the people, which can also help many people in need. β
Wen Chengyou was silent for a while, and shook his head helplessly and looked at Li Xiuman: "Sure enough, Yang You always said that I should learn more from Director Li." At least in the entertainment industry, nothing can be hidden from you. β
Exhaled, Wen Chengyou put away his smile and looked at Li Xiuman: "Let's be honest, what's the situation of "IRIS". I think Director Li also knows. But because of the misunderstanding, you know better that we can't open our mouths to ask S.M for help. And even if it's a help, I guess you won't. So I'll take matters into account. In the name of S.M, he invested in this "IRIS", which is considered a strong momentum. β
Waving his hand and looking at Li Xiuman, Wen Chengyou had a serious expression: "But Director Li Xiuman, please rest assured, I will definitely be very low-key, and I will not let S.M be known by the public as one of the investors of "IRIS", and try my best to protect my reputation and losses." β
Spreading his hands and smiling, Wen Chengyou spoke: "As for the money I invested in my own name, it should be compensated to the company in the name of S.M." Even if I am a shareholder of S.M, I will definitely not take advantage of everything in the company. β
Scratching his head and looking at Li Xiuman, Wen Chengyou smiled: "After doing this business, I realized that all well-known things, even the names of the groups, have great commercial value and cannot be used for free." I'm getting more and more professional now. β
Leaning over with an inquiring look, Wen Chengyou was full of expressions that wanted to be recognized: "Director Li sees that I still have hope to really do this in the entertainment industry, right?" Okay, right? β
Wen Chengyou's series of performances made Li Xiuman laugh. Wen Chengyou also pretended not to understand and laughed with Li Xiuman. After a while, Li Xiuman got up, went to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses, sat back in place and poured the wine and handed it over. Because he knows that his performance can't work, and the conversation at this time is the core.
"I'd still prefer to deal with your brother. It's even harder to deal with. β
Taking a sip of red wine, Li Xiuman shook his wine glass and watched Wen Chengyou speak casually.
At this time, Wen Chengyou also tasted a sip of wine, felt it in all directions with his taste buds in his mouth, and after swallowing it, he gave Li Xiuman a thumbs up: "83 Bordeaux estate craft brew, I still have a bottle at home." My mother buried it the year I was born, and I had to drink it on my wedding day. β
Li Xiuman nodded: "I have also stored rare wine for many years." β
Wen Chengyou paused, pursed the corners of his mouth and looked up at Li Xiuman, but did not speak.
Li Xiuman said calmly: "At least when your brother has no last resort, he will always choose to go straight." β
Looking at Wen Chengyou, Li Xiuman shook his head: "Let's just say it, what do you want?" β
Wen Chengyou was still silent, Li Xiu was stunned, and said disapprerovitously: "It's obviously a hostile relationship, and the camps are different." You should know that coercion or inducement will not help. For me personally, money is no longer important, and I have to transfer money to my top for the first time. Basically, there is no way to change your position, and it makes no sense for you to use this little favor to win over those shareholders to give them sweetness. That's why I don't understand why you're doing this. β
Wen Chengyou finally didn't be silent anymore, but looked up at Li Xiuman: "I guessed well, it was indeed what he meant, not mine." But he always makes sense to do things, and I'm more at ease. So I don't think there's any point in Director Li asking anything. Accept or reject. Find a way to turn the tide of the situation. β
Putting down the wine glass, shaking his head and leaning on the back of the chair, Wen Chengyou chuckled and said: "Presumably, Director Li has also dealt with Yang You, and he should know that once he decides to do something, there will be no time to give up halfway." And at all costs, it will also achieve the goal. β
"Except for Taeyeon, isn't it?"
Li Xiuman looked at Wen Chengyou casually and said this.
Wen Chengyou's smile froze, and he looked at Li Xiuman with a strange expression: "Director Li Xiuman, the founder of idol, will still care about the emotional problems of boys and girls?" β
Li Xiuman shook his head: "Also score people." Ordinary idol socializing. It won't come to me. The agent or the president will deal with it directly. β
After a pause, Li Xiuman spoke: "But your brother who can always make big moves, I can't help but care." β
got up and poured wine for Wen Chengyou, and Wen Chengyou subconsciously held it with both hands. No matter what the relationship. But in the end, Li Xiuman is an opponent that Moon Yeonwoo admires very much, and he is also an elder, and everyone will maintain the Korean etiquette engraved in his bones. This is also the upbringing of the children of the big family.
Put down the bottle. Li Xiuman motioned for him to take care of himself, pushed his glasses, shook his head and said, "Actually." What you just said, what he does, he won't give up when he starts. But didn't you break up with Kim Taeyeon? There was such a big fuss a while ago, TVXQ and Han Geng quit the team, and he instructed you to do it, right? β
Wen Chengyou hurriedly waved his hand: "Then that, Director Li." Don't talk nonsense without evidence, I'm a shareholder of S.M, and you say that I instructed my idol to have a dispute with the company, which I can't admit. β
Li Xiuman chuckled and nodded: "So, I am willing to deal with your brother." He will never deny anything, but will only let you know that there is no way, outside and inside. β
Wen Chengyou pursed his lips and muttered a few words without speaking, Li Xiuying put away her smile and looked at Wen Chengyou: "Actually, you don't have to care, it's not your instigation, but the time is about the same." β
Wen Chengyou was stunned: "What time?" β
Li Xiuman shook his head: "It is said that idol groups, five years is a hurdle." It is almost impossible to pass smoothly until the time comes, either dissolution or dissolution and splitting. Ses, hot, myths, these are. β
Wen Chengyou smiled: "Director Li is excusing me? Do you mean that even if it weren't for my instigation, TVXQ would definitely have a dispute with the company? β
Li Xiuman nodded: "At least within two years of your debut, if you want to ask them to terminate the contract, no one will dare to agree to you, and you will tell the agent immediately." I don't know if you believe it or not? β
Wen Chengyou's tone froze, and he frowned and pondered, roughly understanding what he meant.
Li Xiuman looked at the red wine in the wine glass, and sighed lightly after a while: "As for Han Geng, I don't know if your brother really saw the relationship in it, or if it was a coincidence." But I guess it's a coincidence, it's not something that can be understood by ingenuity, it will take years of market testing to become clear. β
Moon Seungwoo felt that this time was not like a confrontation, but more like a teaching course.
Leaning over to look at Li Xiuman, Wen Chengyou asked suspiciously: "I don't understand this time, what do you mean ......?"
Lee so-man looked at Moon Seung-woo: "idol, Korean idol." Almost all of them went to Japan after the big red and never went to China. Do you know the reasons for the development of the country? β
Wen Chengyou nodded: "I heard what Yan You said, because of the . . . The market is too chaotic and irregular, and piracy is rampant. β
Li Xiuman nodded: "There are reasons for this, but there is another point, maybe he didn't see it." β
Wen Chengyou frowned: "What is it?" β
Li Xiuman's expression was complicated, and he shook his head and said: "Because of chaos, but the money seems to be more profitable." It has the same status and popularity as South Korea. Chinese artists, they make money, the amount and speed are ten times, or even a hundred times that of this side. Hot went in. country, not long after I came back, the contract was terminated. Since then, I have never dared to let my idol go to the center. The development of the country is just enrolling. Nationality trainee training debut ......"
Wen Chengyou couldn't help but laugh: "I'm afraid that they will be too comfortable going there, and after returning to China, they feel that the contrast is too great, and they will dispute with the company to improve their treatment?" β
Li Xiuman nodded: "You don't have to laugh, rich children like you are not short of money, and they don't understand the hard work and fun of making money." But for these idols, after practicing for so many years, if the family background is not haode, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. After debuting, who doesn't want to live comfortably, but can still make a lot of money to support their family and improve their quality of life. β
Wen Chengyou really didn't laugh anymore, and subconsciously nodded in agreement.
And Li Xiuman frowned and took a sip of wine, shook his head and said: "It's also that I'm a little anxious, thinking that maybe there is no big problem, so I let TVC go to the middle. Guo starred on the stage a few times, let Han Geng return to China with SJM to develop, and the position of captain was given to him, I think it seems that it should give him a sense of honor or mission, temporarily get rid of the monetary interests in front of him, and wait for the future to slowly flatten, but Zuihou still let this contrast break free from the balance. β
Wen Chengyou waved his hand: "I will disagree with this, although I don't care about money, but just like Director Li said." They will care a lot, it is also an event to rush the schedule, you can earn more than ten times more than ten times here, and there is only a little here, no one can balance it. β
Li Xiuman nodded: "Of course I understand, so I have never let my idol go there to develop." But in today's era, going abroad is as easy as leaving home, and even Shijie in Asia seems to be one step away, and it is becoming more and more impossible to block people's eyes from looking abroad. Sooner or later, you will learn about the situation outside, and you can't stop it. β
Wen Chengyou shook his head: "Another point is that the market is different. The entertainment company on our side is indeed a bit too much, and it is the same as drinking blood. β
Waving his hand to interrupt Li Xiuman's words, Wen Chengyou spoke: "Of course, I know the position of being a brokerage company, and I will also say that cultivating an idol, from trainee to debut to popularity, this investment is huge." So it's okay to divide it into more. However, this contradiction is irreconcilable, and as idol becomes more and more popular, the contradiction will become more and more acute......"
Speaking of this, Wen Chengyou suddenly scratched his head and looked at Li Xiuman blankly: "Strange, why should I talk to you about these issues?" β
Leaned over and looked at Li Xiuman: "By the way, is it this matter that Director Li is looking for me today?" β
Li Xiuman suddenly laughed, but Wen Chengyou's face slowly became ugly, he looked at Li Xiuman angrily, and secretly sighed that Wen Xiuyou really said that this guy is an old fox, and he can always bring others into his rhythm unconsciously, and then ...... Digress?
