Chapter Eighty-Nine: Returning to China for Development (II)
In September and October, there were two consecutive months of departures from the top team, which was a big shock for 'S.M'. One is a member of the legendary girl group, and the other is a member of the hottest boy group at the moment... With the addition of Wu Sign, who left in May, the company has left three artists before it is over this year.
Because of the continuous departure of the company's artists, the direct reflection is the company's stock price, and the company's stock price has fallen a lot in the past two months, which makes many shareholders very dissatisfied with the company's current problems. In order to prevent the phenomenon of artists escaping, the company began to negotiate conditions with Li Yu.
In fact, not only Li Yu, presumably Huang Xiaotao, who was resting at this time, but also Zhang Xiaoxing was also accepting the company's negotiations.
Yes, at this moment, the company is really afraid of leaving the team again, at least this year, it really doesn't want to see such a thing happen again, so the only way is to negotiate conditions with the artists here in Huaxia.
S.M is actually very clear in his heart, the departure of these two Chinese-speaking members must be promoted by a brokerage company on the Huaxia side behind this matter. But they didn't have anything to do. Because 'S.M' also covets the high price offered by Huaxia, it is impossible for them to refuse their artists to operate in Huaxia.
In the Huaxia event, then the artist may come into contact with the people sent by the Huaxia agency. And everyone knows very well that from this year onwards, the investment in the Chinese entertainment market is very large.
Especially in the 'variety show' section, it can be said that all the copyrights of classic programs in South Korea have been bought! And after these rights are purchased, popular artists need to appear before anyone can watch them.
And these super popular Huaxia members in 'EXO' are one of the good targets! Including Li Yu also received the topic of variety show shooting from Huaxia TV, and the price was very high.
You must know that the company is currently only acting as an agent for Li Yu's Huaxia activity rights, because Li Yu's overseas activity rights were in Li Yu's own hands when the contract was signed. At this time, Li Yu did not set up his own team in Huaxia, so the overseas activities at this time were represented by the 'S.M' side.
The company saw how outrageous the fixed price of the variety show that Huaxia gave Li Yu was here. One season, 12 issues, with a hundredfold income of South Korea's top host Yoo Jae-seok! The price is really outrageous, right?
And this is just a variety show, Li Yu's film salary in Huaxia is now close to 10 billion won! That's a lot of money. Of course, the company was reluctant to give up Li Yu and other Huaxia members, because Huaxia's money was too easy to make.
So the agent found Li Yu to talk at this time, because there was only one agent in Huaxia, 'EXO', he was just here to talk about a preliminary situation, and the company wanted to know a little bit about their inner thoughts at this time. Then, according to the preliminary idea put forward by Li Yu, everyone sat down and negotiated slowly. As long as you talk sincerely, you can always find a win-win result, right?
And Li Yu really has no other requirements for the resources that the company has tilted towards him at this time.
Because Li Yu is definitely the person with the most resources given by the company in 'EXO', of course, all of this is what Li Yu strives for with his own strength, which is something that his teammates can't envy. And the Korean market is also very recognized by Li Yu!
After Li Yu said a bunch of polite words, he said, 'It's just..' This made the agent ask: "Just what?" The company said that everything is negotiable now, and there is no need to be like Wu Qian and Xiao Lu.."
Yes, anything can be discussed, lest in the end they choose the way to escape, so that the company will not be able to gain any benefits.
Li Yu looked at the agent and said, "Actually, we all know why Wu Qian and Xiao Lu chose to leave. It's just that there are some things that are not convenient to say in your position. But we are all people who understand, and we can all see that the opportunities we have in China now are definitely far greater than those in South Korea. The key is that the entertainment industry in Huaxia is willing to give money. You're in charge of our itinerary every day, you must know that, right? ”
Li Yu said it so bluntly, the agent was no longer hiding, he nodded and admitted: "Indeed, there are many more opportunities in China than in South Korea at present." And the remuneration is also more than that of South Korea.. But that's not a reason to run away. Xiao Lu, when we were filming a movie in Huaxia in June, didn't we actively cooperate? ”
Li Yu shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know how the contract between the company and Xiao Lu was signed, but I can say with certainty that Xiao Lu's salary in Huaxia, after finally going through the Korean brokerage company, he can get at most 50% of the money in his hand, maybe less." And Huaxia's brokerage companies are generally three-seven, or two-eight, and artists get more. ”
Li Yu continued: "In South Korea, they starred in variety shows for up to 2 million won, but what they got here is 100 million won. If it were you, what would you choose? Obviously, the work is the same, but the money in Huaxia is dozens or even hundreds of times more. Moreover, Huaxia Brokerage Company will definitely reuse Wu Signature and Xiaolu more than Korean companies. If I change it, I'm also excited, this is dozens of times the difference in income. ”
Li Yu's words made the agent not know how to refute them, because what Li Yu said was the truth. As the hottest 'EXO' members at the moment, they will definitely be valued by Huaxia Company. And after joining Huaxia Company, their income has directly increased dozens of times, hundreds of times, who can not be impressed by this?
As an artist, desperately want to become a top streamer, what is it for? Isn't it just to make some more money? And they can make more money by changing the market, which will make everyone choose like them. In this day and age, everyone is profit-seeking.
The agent looked at Li Yu and said, "Then what do you mean?" Are you also planning to cooperate with Huaxia? ”
Li Yu waved his hand and said: "I want to cooperate for a long time, I have already received an invitation from this company when I was working in Huaxia, but I didn't agree." Because I think the company treats me very well, and I really don't care about making two or three billion won a year, so I have no reason to go to court like them, right? But.."
Li Yu continued: "But... I must have made more money in Huaxia than in South Korea, so why don't I focus on Huaxia? After all, the market here is much larger than in Korea, and I am already a member of 'EXO-M'. So I plan to be like Song Qian's predecessors and focus my work on the development of Huaxia. And if the team has a new album to prepare, or a concert like this one, I'll go back. ”
Li Yu directly said his thoughts, learning from Song Qian to set up his own independent studio in Huaxia, and the focus of his work was in Huaxia, but he would also unconditionally cooperate with some activities of the group.
Because there is still a 'Korean team' in South Korea's 'EXO'. For some daily travel activities, just arrange for the Korean team to go. Large-scale events, such as the recording of new albums, etc., Li Yu went over and participated in concert tours.
Li Yu's idea was spoken, and now there is only one issue left of the distribution of benefits, and this side requires him to communicate with the company first when he goes back.
And after Li Yu's concert, he immediately took some pictorials. The other members began to rest after the concert, but he hadn't had a good day of rest, so this time he planned to go back to the magic capital and go back to his renovated home to rest for a few days.
The agent nodded and said, "Okay, I know, I will report to the company, and the company will definitely discuss this situation in time." That.."
Li Yu looked at the agent and said, "What are you doing?" ”
The agent asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go back to Seoul tomorrow?" ”
Li Yu laughed instantly: "What? Are you really worried that they won't come when I go back to rest? Don't worry, I'm a man of words, and my thoughts have already been spoken, so I will definitely continue to communicate with the company. Don't worry, I'll go back and rest.. It will take you a week at most to go to Seoul. I believe that the news is all around us at this time, and it is impossible for the company to arrange activities for the members, right? ”
"Okay, you rest first, I'll go back to my room." The agent nodded and said. Because he had to tell the company's upper echelons about the idea of communicating with Li Yu in time.
In addition, when Li Yu was on holiday a few days ago, he told the company that he wanted to go home and rest for a few days, and the company agreed. But now that something like this has happened, do you want to let Li Yu go home and rest? It's not something he can decide.
After the agent returned to his room, he quickly told Li Yu's suggestion to the people in the upper echelons. Including the time when Li Yu was going home to rest for a week, and at the same time told the people in the company.
The company agreed that Li Yu would go home to rest, because everyone understood that the people who were going to leave could not be kept. There's no way they're going to imprison Li Yu, right? That's against the law! So the company promised Li Yu to go home and rest for a while.
After they dealt with Xiao Lu's affairs first, they came to negotiate a suitable new contract with Li Yu.
Because after Xiao Lu's incident, Li Yu got a rare vacation.
At this time, he had time to reply to those who sent messages, first of all, Li Yu sent a message to Li Zhien: "I'm fine, I suddenly got the news when I was shooting pictorials in Huaxia in the afternoon." I have your "Flower Bookmark" in my playlist, what have you been busy with lately? ”
Li Zhien didn't believe that Li Yu's mouth was 'okay', because this time the matter was bigger than the last time. But Li Yu was reluctant to say, and she was embarrassed to ask more.
Li Zhien replied: "Recently, I have participated in some events and ceremonies and the like. Wasn't "Zhaogedong", which was a collaboration with the seniors, published? ”
