"So what? Is the president of CJEM having a party right now? ”

At noon on the penultimate day of January, in the cubicle of the Cat's Paw Cafe, William Wang met Li Zhina, whom he hadn't seen for another month.

Li Zhina's expression looked quite relaxed.

Drinking coffee, looking relaxed.

Although he shouldn't have been so relaxed today at all......

"It should be, what we gave up this time must be worth a lot of money." Li Zhina smiled and nodded, "But it doesn't matter, we don't miss this intangible asset." ”

"I sponsor the production cost or something that I put in......

"It's been earned back a long time ago." Li Zhina said with a smile, "And we have already started to resell the rest of the show to the outside world, this show is so popular, it is still very simple to sell out." It is said that Mnet has convinced CJEM to buy back the advertising and endorsement rights directly from us, and I plan to quadruple them. ”

"Okay." Hearing the statement of quadruple, William Wang nodded, "No loss." ”

"Anyway, it's all on the side of Illiam's investment, and for that company, this income is ...... Don't call for money. It's the nine-tailed fox, the hoodie they sponsored in the name of the BE brand and prepared for the trainees in the show, and the ten colors are said to have been sold out. Li Zhina smiled and said, "This is cash." ”

"I've heard that." William Wang nodded, "It's still Jessica who called me to express her gratitude." ”

"Isn't there nothing wrong with her anymore? She still cares? ”

"I don't have her shares, but I have her sister! She's always been more worried about her sister than she is......" Speaking of this, William Wang smiled and shook her head, "She said that when she saw so many people wearing BE brand clothes on the street, she was finally sure that this brand could make money." ”

"Hmm." Li Zhina nodded, "Anyway, this wave is not a loss." Last Saturday night, the episode was aired outside, and Cheng Xiao said in an interview how she came to the company...... It's all true? ”

"yes!" William Wang nodded.

He watched that issue.

Although the nine-tailed fox told William Wang that it was guarding the whole interview in case Cheng Xiao said something inappropriate and could be interrupted at any time, the whole interview went smoothly, and Cheng Xiao spoke very appropriately and likable.

William Wang had to confirm what she was talking about......

"No wonder he said it so sincerely, and he actually said that he cried......"

"The part where she said she cried was talking about whether her own weight loss part was good!" William Wang glanced at Li Zhina speechlessly, "It's just true that she gained weight because of taking pills and hormones, and it really takes a lot of hardships to lose weight, and I didn't expect her to persevere, otherwise I wouldn't have casually agreed to her to come to the peninsula as a trainee when I was in MA." ”

"Didn't everyone say it! It's just for the sake of the agreement with OPPA, no matter how much hardship it takes. Li Zhina rolled his eyes and said with Cheng Xiao's words, which still had a somewhat mainland accent.

The two of them laughed together.

"What are you doing all of a sudden?"

"This wave of operations of the nine-tailed fox is amazing." Li Zhina smiled and shook his head, "Originally, it was just to preemptively block some people's mouths to prevent some bad rumors from spreading outside, but ...... Well, the official of 101 has all the members open their own accounts on SNS, and the number of followers of Cheng Xiao's SNS has been less than 100,000 before last week......"

"100,000 is a lot, okay!" William Wang is very incomprehensible about Li Zhi's disdain for 100,000 fans.

"Boss Nim, Cheng Xiao is from the mainland!" Li Zhina reminded William Wang, "Although for some reason people in the mainland use SNS differently from what we use, it is a country with a population of more than one billion, and the number of people who use the Internet in this country is very large...... 100,000 is really not much. ”

"And then? The number of people exploded? ”

"Well, by the time I went to like Cheng Xiao's selfie yesterday last night, the number of fans on her SNS was already more than one million...... It should basically be your fans who are supporting her. To be honest, there are so many artists in the company, except for Irene, it is estimated that she has the most overlap with your fandom. ”

“…… That's not a good thing for her. William Wang shook his head seriously, "She's going to make her debut in YG in the future, and Yang Hyun Suk is notoriously cautious......"

"No matter how careful you are, you won't be reluctant to pay for money. If she has 5 million SNS followers by the end of 101, I don't believe YG will want her. Li Zhina said with a smile, "And now that many YG family fans are eyeing her, they think she is very good, and since we can't launch a new group, we might as well incorporate her into YG." ”

“…… Family powder? ”

"It's someone who likes bigbang, then went to see 2NE1 because of his family, and then watched inner, and at the same time is a fan of all the members of YG."

“…… Isn't there competition between families? Resources are limited after all! ”

"That's at our operational level, and everyone is harmonious and beautiful to the outside world. Family concert: Can you still allow the Dreamcatcher fans to turn off the lights while LOONA is on stage? ”

“…… Finish. That's not the case anymore. William Wang shook his head with a smile, "Taeyeon asked me to make an appointment for RedVelvet last night." ”

"Yes, big companies are serious about running family fans, and YG is the first to bear the brunt of it, and being recognized by YG's family fans is an important link that Cheng Xiao wants to gain a foothold in that side." Li Zhina nodded, "In the first ranking and elimination list to be announced tonight, Cheng Xiao should be able to sit on the first place chair very steadily." ”

"As soon as she comes to the first place, will it be too much pressure on her?" William Wang said a little worriedly.

“…… I SAID, YOU'RE NOT SO KIND TO LOONA! Li Zhi glanced at William Wang, "Since their debut, they have been running for the position of the first girl group, didn't you think they would be too stressed?" ”

“……”

"I think you look at Cheng Xiao and Zhou Jieqiong, you completely treat them as children! Is it because they are all mainlanders? ”

"It's not because of this...... It's because they were very young children when I met them, and then I brought them into this circle, right? William Wang thought for a moment and said, "It's probably the same as Irene." ”

“…… Anyway, you don't have to worry, the girl's ability to resist pressure is still okay, and I have officially arranged for the nine-tailed fox to be her agent, with it, there is no need to worry about what will happen to Cheng Xiao, I am very confident. ”

"I'm ...... to the fox Well, the ability is still believed, but sometimes its mentality will be easier to get out of control. ”

"Huh? Why? Li Zhi was stunned by William Wang's words.

"Its temper is actually a little short-tempered, and it's impatient, what I say in front of me, I can still suppress it, let it take other people, I'm afraid it will be easier to rush for quick success, and if you feel that Cheng Xiao is not hot enough, you want to make a big news or something." William Wang touched his chin and said, "When the time comes, I'll have to arrange for a succubus to wipe its buttocks." ”

"Big news is big news! It's better than LOONA's return this time, there is no big news, and it looks particularly bland. ”

“…… It's not bland, is it? It's been two weeks since this was swept! ”

William Wang pointed to the music bank of KS TV, which had just finished broadcasting on TV.

It was Loona who was there with the trophy in hand.

From Lin Nalian to Zhou Jieqiong, there are bright smiles on their faces.

"But I always feel that the battle is smaller, and it is not as good as Tice!" Li Zhina said with a smile.

"Tice, don't learn, you can't learn." William Wang immediately shook his head, "If you arrange for Zhou Jieqiong to fight with that girl named Zhou Ziyu, it will ruin her ......"

"But no matter what, with this topic, Tice's popularity and topic have risen all of a sudden! MAKE LOONA'S RETURN A BIT ......"

"What's the difference between your thinking and those who make their debut to shoot large-scale restrictive dramas, and then claim to wear their clothes back one by one!" William Wang glanced at Li Zhina, "Then it's better to let them dance hot, just like BangBang, why don't you get one on billboard!" If you can't do it, you can just come up with some electronic music to continue BoomBoom's bouncing style, such as Kill V. Maim! ”

William Wang said that in December, during the cycle of illiam Entertainment's family concerts in the United States, Dreamcatcher released the interlude "Kill V. Maim", which was scheduled to be for Irene to participate in the movie called "Suicide Squad".

Just like "Immortal" and "The_Phoenix" written by William Wang for Disney's cartoons, the MV was released in the form of a movie trailer about half a year in advance.

Compared to BangBang, which William Wang gave to Girls' Generation last year, which finally managed to get the first place on the weekly chart on Billboard and became the favorite song of various DJs in the party wave at the end of last year, Kill V. Maim's results are actually a little less, and the best is only the top five on the weekly chart.

Of course, because of the strong electronic nature of this song, it can also occupy a place in the playlists of various DJs, which is not easy.

"Actually, I kind of regret letting Dreamcatcher sing that song now." Speaking of this, Li Zhina sighed, "I originally wanted to say that I wouldn't let LOONA touch pop things first, and I would concentrate on securing my position in the country, but I didn't expect us to fight left and right by ourselves...... Seriously, the trainee supervisor of the previous company, I really didn't see that he was such an ambitious and courageous person! Dare to touch the topic of rectification......"

"I heard the nine-tailed fox tell me that it was JYP who signaled to Tice's assistant agent." William Wang shook his head, "So it was Park Jinying who came out to apologize in the end." He himself wants to pull the investment from that side to relieve his financial pressure, and there are some things that have to be done. ”

"Park Jin-young is also a magic barrier." Li Zhina sighed. "There is some money that can't be earned or touched, doesn't he understand......"

"A penny is hard to beat a hero, you haven't been very poor, of course you don't understand." William Wang shook his head, "Forget it, everyone has their own way to go, just don't have any contact with them in the future." ”

"Not really, right? YMC is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of an investment company! Li Zhina shook his head, "Tice doesn't want it?" ”

"After two years of operation, I will return it to Park Jin-young, and let him spend some money to buy Tice back." William Wang smiled, "He didn't have money before, but now that he has a lot of money, then I guess he will be happy." ”

"What about YMC? Disband? ”

"Haven't we at illiam Entertainment completely quit Produce101 except for Cheng Xiao personally? Can the debut girl group Mnet operate? William Wang asked with a smile.

“…… Do you mean that this selected girl group is run by YMC? Li Zhina was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood.

"Yes, it just so happens that YMC doesn't have artists of its own, so it will be more fair when it operates." William Wang nodded.

"But the problem is that this girl group only has a year ......"

"Just have another draft next year."

“…… Boss, are you serious? Li Zhi's expression was strange.

"Choose a women's group this year, operate for one year to next year, and then choose a men's group, and run for another year!" William Wang said with a smile, "The time to choose is half a year, the operation time is one year, two turns and one circle for three years, and then a wave of girl groups after three years, isn't it just right?" The girl group on the peninsula is only one generation of three years according to algebra! ”

“…… You can still grow and trade! Li Zhina also laughed.

Don't say it, what William Wang said makes sense.

"So, there's nothing wrong with that. And Tice is operating well, plus the draft team, in case some small companies feel that their operation ability is insufficient and want to cooperate with YMC......" William Wang continued with a smile, "These things can't support them?" ”

"Okay." Li Zhina nodded, "Seriously, Tice's side has really caused a lot of trouble for LOONA, who has recently returned. ”

"Dreamcatcher has never officially exceeded Girls' Generation, don't tell me that this time you are so serious that you did LOONA was surpassed by Tice again......"

"Not really, it's just a little trouble." Li Zhina hurriedly said, "But in fact, their chess moves are a bit stinky...... If we hadn't made this move, we wouldn't have slowed down the planning of this year's overseas events for LOONA, but it's okay now. ”

"Hmm." William Wang nodded.

"Okay, remember to watch tonight's show, contribute some ratings, if the ratings of this show can exceed 5%......" Li Zhi looked like he stood up and was about to leave.

"You just say me, don't you watch?"

"What do I think tonight?" Li Zhi spread his hands, "I have so many things to do today!" ”

"You have a lot of things to do, and you came here to drink...... William Wang looked at his watch, "Three hours of coffee?" ”

"I'm here to invite guests! Otherwise, if there is a reliable guest on the scene tomorrow, there will be no way. Li Zhina said, took out an envelope from his suit and placed it in front of William Wang.

"Haven't I already paid the bonus money? What about a house? ”

"You're embarrassed! That's obviously a gift from the nine-tailed fox and the succubus cat! They bought that house! ”

"They're not mine. If I hadn't said I'd give it to you, it would have been mine. ”

“…… Is it okay to have a face? Li Zhi's face was disgusted. Come over tomorrow, and I won't want you to give any more gifts. ”

"I really don't want to ......"

"You're a witness! Don't you come to talk? Li Zhi gave Wang William a blank look. We were two people who would never have had the chance to know each other, because who knew each other? ”

"But you're not really married......"

"How not really married! There are formalities, there is notarization, and there is an oath ......"

“…… Can't you find a pastor? ”

"We do not believe in the holy city." Li Zhina said seriously, "We believe in you." ”

"But I've never done a marriage ...... my followers."

"We are your friends!!" Li Zhina corrected.

Be quiet.

"Okay." Looking at Li Zhi's serious expression, William Wang smiled helplessly.

Li Zhina saw that Wang William finally responded, let out a sigh, turned around and left the compartment.

Not much.

"Master, you promised to help Li Zhina and Zheng Duohui witness their marriage tomorrow?"

Firefly walked into the cubicle, and while cleaning up Li Zhi's leftover coffee cup, she helped William Wang add some water to his teapot and asked.

"Well, how do you know?"

"It's nothing, just now when he came in and told me that if he can't persuade the master to change your mind, please ask me to help him and say something nice in front of you, master." Firefly smiled on her face, "But he didn't tell me when he left." ”

“…… What can you say for him? William Wang smiled a little speechlessly.

"Nothing, he wouldn't blame me if I couldn't help anyway." Firefly smiled and stuck out her tongue at William Wang, "But shouldn't it be a very happy thing to be able to witness other people's happy moments?" Why don't you want to go, host......"

"They are not really husband and wife......"

"Why not!" Firefly shook her head seriously, "Isn't it the greatest romance that two people can hug each other for warmth in this lonely world?" It has nothing to do with gender, looks, race, or whatever! ”

“…… You're bad at following the succubus. William Wang had a black line on his head.

What is the ......

William Wang's bet of two dollars is something he learned online.

"But that's true!" Firefly didn't mind being exposed at all, and continued with a smile: "By the way, master, there is something I want to tell you. I want to take a month off next month......"

“…… Leave? What's the matter with you? ”

"I want to go to the mountains to practice and test the cultivation advice that Asumasu gave me......"

"Amaterasu? Has it come to you recently? ”

"It's staring at Loki over there, and all the news and contacts on this side are directly from the café, so it's kind of familiar with me." Hotaru nodded, "A few days ago, Amaterasu said that there is a cultivation method it knows that can quickly help youkai get through this period of materialization......"

“…… Are you sure it's not a pit for you? William Wang was a little unconvinced.

To say that Amaterasu knew some strange cultivation methods, William Wang must have believed it, after all, for the monsters of the existing Yin-Yang Technique System, it was basically an ancestor-level existence, but the key was whether it really wanted to give advice to Firefly......

But in fact, Amaterasu is a dog, so he shouldn't like to deceive people as much as a fox, right?

"It shouldn't dare." Firefly shook her head. "If its body was here, I might be afraid that it would have deceived me, and I wouldn't be able to do anything about it, now ......"

“…… Then if you want to try it, just try it! William Wang smiled a little speechless and said, "Then the café will be closed next month." Anyway, the business of the café during the New Year is generally ......"

"No, I just want to tell you, I told Zai Yi, she said that she happened to be okay recently, so she came to replace me for a month."

“…… She's been idle to this extent? ”

"I don't know, but she said she was free and willing to help me with this."

"Okay." William Wang nodded.

"Then I'll go to the mountains tonight......"

"Do you want the nine-tailed fox to drive you?"

"Jae-yi said she sent me, and then she just came back here to take over the café."

"She can drive??"

"Master, their group is not popular, and there are a lot of things that can be done in their free time."

“…… It's obviously a good thing to be able to drive, why does she look so pitiful here! ”

William Wang laughed.

……
