Chapter 258: Pattern (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
After arranging for An Tai and contacting Fang Shihyuk, Lee Seung-woo sat in front of the computer in the office and searched for Fang Shihyuk's information in detail on the Internet.
After some searching, Lee Seung-woo had a preliminary understanding of the other party's Shi He.
Bang Si-hyuk, born on August 9, 1972, graduated from Seoul National University, worked for JYP Company, worked with Park Jin-young, and is a well-known gold medal composer and ace producer in South Korea. He has single-handedly created well-known groups and singers such as 2AM, eight, Jian Meiyan, and Lim Chung-hee. The most well-known song he wrote is "Like a Shot" written for South Korean tragic diva Baek Ji-young.
Overall, Fang Shihe is a very talented and capable person.
Generally, people like this kind of personality are relatively confident, relatively stubborn, and have their own pursuits.
After reading the information, Li Chengyou began to calculate, and he didn't know if he could persuade the other party to agree to buy shares after Antai and Fang Shihe contacted him.
A few days later.
Ahn Tae-ho replied to Lee Seung-woo.
Regarding Lee Seung-woo's intention to take a stake in BigHit, Shi Hyuk did not agree, but he did not refuse, only saying that he wanted to meet with Lee Seung-woo first and make a specific decision after talking.
Meanwhile.
Lee Seung-woo also learned another news from Ahn Tae-ho, that BigHit has been in debt at the moment. Since Fang Shihe did not directly refuse, as long as the two parties can negotiate properly after meeting, Fang Shihe should not mind the unexpected investment of funds.
Morning, café.
The place where Fang Shihyuk and Lee Seung-woo met was neither BigHit nor the company, but chose a third-party location.
After meeting, salute and say hello, and do not say more.
Fang Sihyuk is a typical Korean appearance, with single eyelids, slender eyes, and a pair of round-framed glasses, and his face looks slightly serious.
After chatting a few words, Fang Shihyuk got straight to the point and asked directly: "I have been thunderous in the past two years, I am a screenwriter, director, and composer, and I am talented, and several works have been successful one after another, and I am a representative figure of the new generation of Korean directors." But as far as I know, Chengyou Xi's main business has always been film and television, why did you suddenly want to invest in the music field?
And you still invest in a small company like me? ”
"Brother Shi praised it."
With a humble word, Li Chengyou paused slightly and said with a smile: "By the way, you are older than me, you are my senior, you don't mind if I call you Brother Shihe, right?" ”
Fang Shihe was dumbfounded, shook his head and smiled.
Li Chengyou smiled: "At that time, Brother He, don't call Chengyou xi, just call me Chengyou." ”
Fang Shihe smiled and nodded: "Since Chengyou said so, then I won't be outside." But I still want to understand first, why did Chengyou suddenly decide to invest in my company? ”
Lee Seung-woo said frankly: "Potential. ”
Fang Shihe was slightly stunned.
Lee Seung-woo chuckled and explained: "Actually, it's a coincidence. The other day I was walking down the street and overheard a student talking about BTS, so I searched for it out of curiosity. ”
Fang Shihe smiled and said, "Chengyou doesn't want to invest in my company just after listening to a few BTS songs, right?" ”
Lee Seung-woo shook his head and said, "Frankly, this is just one of the reasons. Another reason, or more important, is that I have taken a fancy to Shi Hege's ability, and I am also optimistic that BigHit will definitely make a name for itself in the future under Shi Hege's leadership. After a pause, Lee Seung-woo explained, "At the beginning, I did have some interest in BTS, checked the information on the Internet, and learned about it briefly through some friends.
When I heard that Brother Hege insisted on sending his artists to study in the United States even though the company was in debt, I had the idea of investing in Brother Shi's company.
There is an old saying in China that says well, those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain; Those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment.
Compared with those companies that are eager for quick success, Shi Hege's vision and pattern are more worthy of my investment. ”
Fang Shihe was stunned when he heard this, and his expression instantly became serious.
He looked at Li Chengyou intently, Li Chengyou did not dodge, looked at each other for a moment, Fang Shihe smiled slightly bitterly, and sighed: "No wonder Chengyou can become famous at a young age." Nowadays, many Korean brokerage companies just want to make quick money, or they want to quickly become popular with the luck of one song or two songs, but they can't make music seriously at all, and they don't consider the long-term development of their groups and artists. ”
Li Chengyou said: "It is precisely because of the existence of these companies that the vision and pattern of Brother Shi He are more prominent. Rather than investing in BTS and BigHit, I actually invested in Brother Shihe's ability and courage. After a pause, Li Chengyou said again, "Moreover, I actually want to establish a strategic cooperative relationship with Brother Shi He." I'm mainly in charge of film and television, and Shi Hege is mainly in charge of music.
And film and music complement each other.
The film and television works produced by our company can help the artists of Shi Hege Company to further their popularity, and also help to expand their popularity and increase their exposure.
Meanwhile.
If there is a suitable role, I can also arrange for the artists of Shi Hege's company to play, which is also extremely beneficial to the long-term development of their careers, which can not only help Shi Hege's company attract more talents to join, but also help retain more talents. ”
Fang Shihe's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help laughing: "And their popularity has increased and their popularity has become higher, and Chengyou, as one of the shareholders, will naturally be able to get more benefits." ”
Lee Seung-woo: "Of course. Together, it's good for both sides. ”
Fang Shihe smiled, considered it slightly, and said solemnly: "To tell you the truth, Chengyou really moved me by what he said, and at present, I have indeed been operating in debt and urgently need external capital investment. But...... If I promise to take a stake, then I don't know what Chengyou thinks about the future development direction of the company? ”
Li Chengyou did not hesitate, and said frankly: "There is a good saying, there is a specialization in the art industry, and professional things must of course be handed over to professionals." If Brother Shi asks me about my views on film and television, I have a lot of opinions to share with Brother Shi. But in terms of music, I don't shy away from saying that Brother He, I know nine out of ten - I don't know anything.
After taking a stake in the company, the development direction of the company is still sometimes the sole responsibility of the company.
I am self-aware, and since I don't understand, I will never interfere. ”
After a pause, Li Chengyou smiled again: "When I became a shareholder, Brother He's company wanted to make money, not lose money, I didn't want to interfere indiscriminately, and in the end it was self-defeating." ”
Fang Shihe's expression was relaxed, but he groaned for a while, and he was still a little hesitant.
Li Chengyou smiled again: "If Brother Shi He still has concerns, we can indicate them in the contract." Of course, it must be on the premise of ensuring my rights and interests. ”
As soon as these words came out, Fang Shihe completely put his mind at ease.
Looking at Li Chengyou, Fang Shihe smiled, stretched out his hand, and handed it to Li Chengyou: "Since Chengyou has said everything, if I hesitate any longer, I don't know what to do." Thank you, happy cooperation. ”
Lee Seung-woo stretched out his hand, shook hands with Fang Shihyuk, and smiled at each other.
"Brother Shi He, happy cooperation."
