Chapter Forty-Eight: The Speechless Antae
Li Chengyou didn't respond when he heard this, looked at An Taihe, his eyes flashed slightly, and an idea suddenly popped up.
"Brother Taihe......"
After thinking for a moment and feeling that there was a possibility of success, Li Chengyou thought about it a little and said, "Brother Taihe also knows that I will graduate in a few months. ”
Ahn Tae-ho nodded, looking at Lee Seung-woo with some doubts.
Li Chengyou continued: "Brother Taihe also knows that when the box office is divided, I will have some money in my hands. ”
An Taihe nodded again, the doubt in his eyes deeper.
Lee Seung-woo said: "So, after graduation, I plan to set up a film and television production company. If Taihege is interested, I would like to invite Taihege to be the president of this company, fully responsible for the company's operations, and I will only be mainly responsible for film and television shooting. In addition, please rest assured that this company will be the two of us, and I will give Taihe a part of the company's shares for free, I wonder if Brother Taihe is interested? ”
"Huh!?"
Antaihe was stunned, looking confused.
What's going on?
He was still thinking about how to convince Lee Seung-woo before, why did it become Lee Seung-woo bewitching him in a blink of an eye?
Antai and speechless......
Li Chengyou then persuaded: "Brother Taihe, there is a good saying, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix." Instead of being an underappreciated department manager at S.M, it would be better for the two of us to start a new business together. Brother Taihe, you also said just now, you believe in my talent. I am also a firm believer in this. I am sure that I will definitely become the most well-known director in Korea in the future.
But Brother Taihe, you also know that people's energy is limited.
I had to devote my whole body and soul to the film, and I couldn't juggle the company anymore. However, I didn't want to lose my dominance in making movies and let some laymen who didn't understand movies interfere indiscriminately, so I had to set up my own film and television company.
Frankly speaking, I have been in contact with Brother Taihe for so long, and I greatly appreciate Brother Taihe's ability and personality. But it's a pity that if a person with the most ability is restrained in doing things, he will only waste his time and talent in the end.
Brother Taihe, time waits for no one, youth is fleeting, we are all men, who can not be ambitious if we are men?
Could it be that Brother Taihe was in the prime of life and was willing to waste his life in an unappreciated department? Or ......"
"Excuse me, stop ......"
An Taihe smiled bitterly and hurriedly raised his hand to stop Li Chengyou.
He found that after just such a while, he was shaken by what Lee Seung-woo said, and if he continued to listen, An Tae-ho was afraid that he would really be fooled by Lee Seung-woo and succeed.
Yes.
It is undeniable that he admires Lee Seung-woo very much and thinks that Lee Seung-woo is talented.
But he has been mixed for more than ten years and finally climbed to the position of manager of the film and television department of S.M company, not to mention that he now has a wife, children, and parents to support, so it is so easy to change jobs if he wants to.
Lee Seung-woo is right when he says that as a man, he also has great ambitions. He didn't understand the truth that he would rather be the head of the chicken and not the tail of the phoenix.
But the key is whether you, the 'chicken', can survive, how big you can grow, and even whether you will become a phoenix one day.
If it hasn't been two or three years since he changed jobs, and your 'chicken' will burp directly, then he will regret it again, and there will be no regret medicine to take.
In the adult world, how can it be the same as a young man, saying that he will change jobs.
There are too many things he needs to consider and worry about, even if Lee Seung-woo is out of the blue, before he is at least eighty percent sure, even if he is tempted, he doesn't dare to really let go of everything.
After all, he already has a family, and he has long lost the courage to dare to risk everything.
Seeing this, Lee Seung-woo turned a little circle in his mind, and he understood Ahn Tae-ho's worries.
It's human nature, and he understands it.
If he was really only in his twenties, seeing An Taihe so hesitant, he would definitely feel that An Taihe didn't know how to lift up, and he couldn't grasp the opportunity.
But in his previous life, Lee Seung-woo was also a person who had been mixed for decades, he had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he had seen all kinds of people, and he knew very well that it was impossible for people to be as fearless as they were when they were young when they were middle-aged.
The older a person gets, the more he will feel the reality of society, and the more he will be negatively pressured by various relationships, and the more he will be unable to help himself and worry a lot.
But it is precisely because people have already experienced the beating of society and are experienced in middle age, so Li Chengyou needs Antai and such a professional who has been in the film and television industry for more than ten years.
In the final analysis, Lee Seung-woo has only traveled for a few months, and he has never been in the Korean film and television industry in his previous life, so he does not know some unspoken rules and industry details of the Korean film and television industry. If there is no Antaihe who is familiar with the industry market, he still needs to find other insiders to re-cultivate friendships, and he may not really be able to find someone like Antaihe who is pleasing to his eyes.
But if he had Aetna and helped him, he would have been much easier in the future.
And because of this.
Li Chengyou pondered for another moment and said with a smile: "Brother Taihe, I understand your concerns. Otherwise, what about my proposal, Brother Taihe, you should think about it carefully. Originally, S.M dared to put such a contract in front of me, and I didn't plan to cooperate with them again. But for the sake of Brother Taihe's face, I am willing to negotiate with them again. Since they look down on me so much, okay, for TV series, ratings are the most important thing.
Then I'll talk to them with ratings.
If they dare to bet on it, I'll bet with them on ratings.
I remember that most of S.M's self-made dramas are cooperated with the three major TV stations, so after the TV series is broadcast, if it is until the end of the TV series, if the ratings are less than 10%, I will not take a penny, not a penny. If it exceeds 10%, I can only charge 10 million won per episode according to the current contract, but the dividend must be added.
That's what I deserve and that's the premise for me to work with them.
If I'm not mistaken, S.M's self-made drama hasn't had a rating of more than 10%, right? ”
Antaihe tugged at the corners of his mouth and nodded awkwardly.
Lee Seung-woo continued, "If the ratings exceed 15%, the remuneration for each episode will increase to 20 million won, the replay fee and rebroadcast fee will also increase by 10%, and the copyright amount will also increase by another 2 points. If the ratings exceed 20%, the remuneration for each episode will increase to 30 million won, the replay fee and rebroadcast fee will be increased by another 10%, and the copyright amount will also be increased by another 2 points. If the rating reaches 30%, the remuneration per episode will be increased to 50 million won, and the replay will ......"
"Thank you, stop! Stop! ”
Ahn Tae-ho raised his hand again and stopped Lee Seung-woo.
Shaking his head, An Taihe smiled bitterly and said speechlessly: "Chengyou, don't talk about the back, even if you mentioned these conditions earlier, the company will most likely not agree, let alone ......" Shaking his head again, An Taihe didn't continue to say anything more.
In South Korea, the film industry will increase dividends based on the number of moviegoers, and if it exceeds the profit or loss point. The TV industry has no tradition of raising remuneration and dividends based on ratings.
Even if it seems to be in S.M's favor, S.M will not be the first to break this rule.
The first bird is shot at the head, not that the first person to eat the crab will definitely be able to eat a fat belly, but there is a greater chance that he will be attacked by a group and slapped to death on the beach.
Lee Seung-woo is still too young to understand these unspoken rules, which is why he would have such an idea.
He shook his head secretly, looked at Li Chengyou, An Taihe thought about it, and said: "That's it, Chengyou, it's basically impossible for the company to agree to these requests you made, I hope you can be mentally prepared." But don't worry, I'll still help you convey it. After all, with these requirements, I can also try to help you fight for as many as possible. Honestly, I'd love to work with you.
But if we can't cooperate, I understand.
All I can say is...... I also hope you can understand Brother Taihe, this time it has been done like this, and Brother Taihe owes you a favor. ”
