080 Is this a popular science chapter in the entertainment industry?
Seeing William Wang's doubts about the previous Aura Entertainment, Li Zhina naturally understood it very well, in fact, when he first entered this industry, his reaction was exactly the same......
"If the previous company was in the top two or three hundred, then the current William Entertainment Company ......," William Wang remembered a more important matter.
"The top fifty is definitely fine. Even the first thirty or forty are possible. Li Zhina nodded. Otherwise, why do you think so many people came to see us when we opened? ”
“…… The water in your country's entertainment industry is really shallow! William Wang smiled speechlessly. So why are there so many entertainment companies? ”
"There are many companies that are used by some enterprises or individuals to launder money, and they don't do anything at all." Li Zhina said very seriously, and it can be regarded as an answer to William Wang's question just now, "There are also some ...... that are simply used to trick some little girls and boys into doing some shady business."
"That's right." Speaking of this, William Wang remembered what Kim Taeyeon said yesterday when he came to him, although it was interrupted because of some other things, "I heard that there are a lot of acting trainees doing assistance communication? ”
"It's a lot." Li Zhina nodded, "After all, many people's families are not very wealthy, and it is difficult to support a trainee, so they can only rely on their own ......."
"Trainees cost a lot of money?" William Wang was very surprised by this matter.
"Of course!" Li Zhi's face was taken for granted, "In China, all trainees, preparatory students, and volunteer students...... Wait, it's all going to cost money, it's part of the country's industry! ”
"Where do acting trainees spend money?" William Wang is a little incomprehensible, doesn't the company return the subsidy? Didn't Kim Taeyeon claim that she had money from the company to invite herself to dinner!
Isn't this profitable?
"There are so many places to spend money!" Li Zhina sighed softly, "Generally speaking, performing arts agencies only provide venues for you to practice, as for more important classes or something, if you can arrange it for you once a month, even if you have a conscience, you can expect this class, so many people, what can you learn?" So I had to pay for my own money to go to those training classrooms, as well as all kinds of cosmetics and clothing. Moreover, because most of the trainees are children who are still in school, and they have to go to school, they basically have little time to go out to work and earn money...... If the family is difficult, I really can't afford to support it. Therefore, the trainees of some small companies are either half-forced and half-lured by some people with Taoist backgrounds to do those jobs, or they are ...... by the bosses of their own companies."
"Then you ...... before" William Wang suddenly remembered, isn't Li Zhina an orphan? And what about her...... How can you afford this?
"Actually, seriously." When Li Zhina heard William Wang's words, his face, which was originally light, suddenly became a little strange, "I actually...... Well...... That's right. It's just that I stupidly liked him at the time. ”
“…… Is this a thing that only happens to small companies? ”
"You can't be thinking about Kim Taeyeon, are you?" Li Zhina was stunned for a moment and laughed, "You can rest assured of this!" If you like her, you can rest assured that the girls of S.M are still in good faith. At most, companies at that level will arrange for them to go to some drinking parties and the like, and they won't let them do that. Not only will they not be allowed to do it, but if the trainees of their company are found to be doing this kind of work, they will definitely be fired as soon as possible. ”
"Is it because the subsidies given to trainees by their company are high, enough for the poor children you mentioned to live?" William Wang thought about it seriously, didn't Li Zhi repeatedly say that the burden was high just now, so he would do it? Is it that if you enter a large company like S.M, the burden is not high?
"Of course, the number of classes arranged by large companies will definitely be more, the accommodation conditions will be relatively better, and the company's canteen will also solve the problem of eating, although it will definitely not be good enough to eat meat at every meal. However, there is another more important reason...... Li Zhina shook his head, "That kind of company will not recruit children who can't afford trainees to join the company." At the very least, it is only possible for families above the middle class to enter that kind of company. ”
"Then why do I think Kim Taeyeon seems to be quite poor......
"That's compared to you." Li Zhina smiled, "Compared with you, how many people in the whole country are not poor?" Kim Taeyeon is just not a big spender. The girl's family is not rich, but it is certainly not bad. ”
"Then the most valuable thing on her body before was that silver ring...... "William Wang remembered the price he had paid for her exorcism......
"Boss, in all fairness, how many girls were able to buy a silver ring for themselves when they were teenagers?"
"Silver is not expensive......"
"But this is something that she can buy that doesn't help her trainee status without delaying her life and class!"
"Then you know that she didn't earn money by other means......"
"Boss, believe me, if that's the case, she won't buy anything silver. Just outside their company, there are a lot of good things! Doing that kind of business is more profitable than you think. ”
Be quiet.
William Wang found that he really couldn't refute it.
"Seriously, I really envy S.M." Li Zhina sighed, "Because it is the largest entertainment company in China, they have enough space to select trainees, and even family background can be taken into account, and we, as long as we have a little talent, many times we have to pinch our noses and endure even if our character is not good......"
Speaking of this, he shook his head and sighed.
"We can give our company's trainees better conditions!" William Wang seemed to suddenly remember something, "Anyway, we're not short of money." ”
"But how can there be such a ...... to run a company?"
"Then let me ask you, if you have a bad family background, but you are very gifted and talented, will you want a company like S.M?"
"It's hard to say, I don't usually want it." Li Zhina thought about it and shook his head. "S.M's most important thing is hard work, and talent is placed in the second gear ......"
"Then we're going to do it!" William Wang said with a smile. "Since it's a talent, you can always make money. It's just a little bit more invested! Then you tell the person you want to recruit that we are going to invest a lot of money in him, and when the time comes, we will take it back, and everyone will sign the contract and follow it, and when we get back the investment from you, then we will change to a normal contract...... Do you think these people would be willing to come to our company? Will they practice hard and work hard as an entertainer in order to get a more normal contract sooner? ”
"But in this case, the people you train will eventually jump ship and run out......
"As long as you pay the liquidated damages, you can leave if you are willing to go." William Wang spread his hands, "I wish they were all poached!" ”
"How can there be a boss who runs a company like this!" Li Zhina was amused.
"Then think about it." William Wang shook his head, "If you cultivate ten and all of them are poached, then we will cultivate another ten, anyway, the liquidated damages will definitely be able to earn back our investment, and we won't lose ......."
"But I don't make any money!"
"Oops, don't interrupt me." William Wang waved his hand, "Then you think, if all the ten people you have cultivated are willing to pay to help them break the contract, they must already have enough influence in the entertainment industry, right?" These ten people are all from your company...... How many people don't know about this? ”
"But I still can't make any money!"
"It's like you're running this company to make money." William Wang complained fiercely. "You're running this company just to fulfill your dreams, aren't you? That's fine, as long as you don't lose money! ”
"That's not what you said! How good is it for us? ”
"Oops! You're still dead-eyed. William Wang shook his head, "All those who are willing to leave, as long as they can pay the money and interest we spent on him, then let's go!" We will also wish them success in the future, and even if they want to come back, we will not turn them away......"
"Are you doing a business or opening a good church!" Li Zhina really couldn't help but complain.
"If you don't lose money, will people like you very much? Then one day in the future, when the entire entertainment industry is your friend......" William Wang spread his hands, "Won't your dream come true?" ”
“…… Isn't it embarrassing for you to run a company like this...... After all, that's a lot of money......"
"I can't spend all my money." William Wang shook his head, "This money is just to do you a favor, anyway, you will only have a few decades of life, and when you die, I will not do this company, and it is difficult to say how to deal with it at that time." The money you earn doesn't make sense. ”
The room was quiet again.
It's been a while.
"Boss, I actually think ...... You really don't need me ......," Li Zhina was a little frustrated, "I feel that in fact, all my previous plans don't seem to be as reliable as you ran over and casually pointed out like you had a convulsion today." ”
"Do practical things, I can't do it, bragging, you can't." William Wang patted Li Zhina's shoulder with a sigh on his face, "Work hard!" The organization still believes in you! ”
“…… What is the line of this place? It doesn't sound like you're saying it. ”
"Oh, I watched a movie yesterday and it doesn't matter......"
“…… By the way, I remembered today's business, boss, do you want to be an actor? ”
"I'll think about it again!" William Wang smiled, "I didn't expect the entertainment industry in this country to be so small, it's so unchallenging......"
"A little bit! If you have a firm foothold in the country first, it is not impossible for you to develop in Southeast Asia or the United States. Li Zhi, like yesterday's succubus cat, began to follow the temptation, "If you like the feeling of doing tasks, leave it to me!" I'll set you tasks one by one to kill time for you, and it's definitely better than your numerology hall......"
"Really? Not necessarily, right? ”
"Over there, you have to wait for someone else to come to kill you time, and ...... with me" Li Zhina shook his head with a smile, "You won't be able to finish if there are too many things, and when the time comes, I will pick out enough good things for you to do...... Don't worry, it's not going to be easy......"
"Why do I think I'm getting myself in trouble?" William Wang smiled.
"No matter how much trouble you have, can it be more troublesome than that hexagonal demon you raised?"
“…… That's right, too. ”
"So! Now that you've decided to live your life so empty and lonely, make your life exciting. Li Zhina put on a handover expression, "Your life is going to be very interesting." ”
“…… Preferably so. William Wang sighed softly.
Actually, this was decided before he came here today.
"Oops! I really didn't expect that our company's first official artist would be decided like this. Li Zhina was overjoyed when he heard William Wang's answer, "Well, it seems that I will soon have something to do." ”
"Don't be in a hurry." William Wang thought for a moment and shook his head, "You can arrange things for me next year." ”
"Huh? Why? ”
"I'm going back to Switzerland next month, in about ten days. Moreover, I have arranged this time every year in the future. ”
"Back to Switzerland? Why? ”
"I'll go back with Duan Zhixian." William Wang explained in another simple way.
Li Zhi was stunned, but instantly understood.
"Your organization meets every year?"
"Well, it's tradition." William Wang nodded, "It's been decades." ”
"Only a few decades? Isn't your organization 500 years old? ”
"You had an annual party before you had a plane?" William Wang smiled, "It's on the road back and forth for a year." ”
"That's right. I understand. Although he was a little helpless, Li Zhina still shook his head with a smile, indeed, compared to his own petty fights, his thing is his real main business. I can look at the rest of the arrangement, right? ”
"Hmm...... Just don't mess around with me. ”
"Don't worry." Li Zhi's face was serious, "You are my boss, do I dare to toss you?" ”
"Yes to ...... too," William Wang smiled.
"That's it!" Li Zhina seemed to be really encouraged by William Wang's promise to be an artist in the company, "I'm going to go out to help you contact work...... Well, I'll be your agent personally, rest assured, I will definitely make you the best artist in the whole of Korea! ”
"Meow~"
The cat, who had been surfing the Internet next to him without interjecting, finally spoke.
"What does it say?" Li Zhina looked at William Wang.
"It says, "It's better if it's not necessary, it's more fun...... It can be considered. William Wang smiled and shook his head, "I think it's pretty good." ”
“…… Fun isn't it, this is easy! ”
"Meow!"
"It says, do what it says!"
William Wang took the initiative to translate this time.
On his face, he still has a smile.
