Chapter Twenty-Three: To the RedVelvet Lounge
June 28th
Li Chenghao taught Han Shanya a lesson on the phone.
I called to build a concert stage in the playground of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology campus in Ho Chi Minh City, but it turned out that the venue could not be provided due to other activities of the school.
Fortunately, the detailed address of the concert was not made public when it was announced, but it was only said that the 25th anniversary friendship concert hosted by TVN was held in country Y.
Li Chenghao personally communicated with the other party's principal by phone, and finally finalized the venue at the Hanoi campus.
July 2nd
The online ticket window was released on the TVN Music Center website, and details of the concert were also announced.
In one minute, 15,000 tickets were swept away.
The music center was still celebrating, and Li Chenghao's phone had already called, asking about the current progress of the stage construction.
July 5th
Lee Sung-ho asked Kim Ah-hee to give VIP tickets to the people on the list.
meantime
Villa 13 in Seongbuk-dong
Knowing Lee Sung-ho's recent movements, Lee Jae-hyun also called Lee Sun-ho to the study.
"Your brother has already made a move, what about you? What is the progress of logistics companies entering the Chinese market? ”
Li Shanhao explained: "Dad, I am currently acquiring qualified enterprises in Huaxia, and I have negotiated with relevant local personnel to invest in building factories and providing jobs and other livelihood issues, and the relevant procedures can be completed in a month at most." ”
"Be quick, the people on the council are looking at you and Cheng Hao, although Chairman Son Kyung-sik and I support you to take over CJ, but if you can't do good results and don't have the ability to take the position, I can't keep you."
Li Shanhao nodded heavily.
His resentment towards Li Chenghao is heavier than before.
If Lee Sung-ho was honestly the head of the music division at CJ Entertainment before, he could still let Lee Sung-ho go, even if he was talented, his development in that position was also limited.
But now it's different, and he has a cable TV station in his hands, which is undoubtedly one of the important weights in the competition for the chairman's position.
It has only been half a month since he took office, and Lee Jae-hyun took the initiative to talk to him about this, obviously because Lee Sung-ho's action was recognized.
"And Seon-ho, you've been smoking that stuff at Gangnam Bar lately, right?"
Looking at Lee Jae-hyun's face that was about to explode into anger, Lee Sun-ho resolutely denied: "No, Dad, I haven't touched that thing anymore, but Lee Sung-ho's kid, who has recently been addicted to women, and took a woman to Monaco for a vacation the day before yesterday."
"Get out of here, hurry up and get your things done."
In the study
Lee Jae-hyun frowned.
He also knew about Li Chenghao taking a woman to Monaco for a weekend vacation, and he was still playing with Choi Sung-geun's chaebol children who were not in the climate.
Although it seems like nothing now, this matter will also become a stumbling block for Li Chenghao in the future, and the character of playing with women will definitely not be accepted and recognized.
merely
He had only heard about it, but he had not grasped anything useful, such as some unsightly photographic material.
July 7th
The day before the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between South Korea and Vietnam.
Hanoi, Handi Resco Building on Kim Ma Street, Li Chenghao did not greet anyone after checking into the hotel, and came to the Hanoi campus of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology wearing a mask and a hat by himself.
Standing on the shore of the elegant NgocKhanh Lake, looking at the controlled concert venue from afar, you can still faintly hear Han Sun-ah's voice, holding a microphone to guide the camera position and adjust the stage lighting set.
July 8th
Early in the morning, Lee Sung-ho opened the window of his room and heard KPOP songs.
Last night
Twenty-two groups of solo singers and idol groups arrived in Hanoi one after another.
Fans stayed at the airport early and surrounded the airport.
All kinds of screams, cheers, and roars were overwhelming.
Li Chenghao also smacked his tongue after seeing the relevant video on the Internet, why don't there be many idol groups in countries that like KPOP so much to make money by holding concerts.
After Tara joins the company, the concert can be put on the agenda, and the Southeast Asian countries and regions will go around first, which can be regarded as announcing their new beginning in their new club.
So, last night, Lee Sung-ho called Bae Jong-han to communicate about this matter, and by the way, he also talked about IU's work plan for the second half of the year.
Talking about this topic, Bae Jong-han cautiously asked Lee Sung-ho if he had come to Hanoi, and when it was confirmed, Bae Jong-han had a twitch in his mind and took the initiative to tell IU about it.
Originally, IU and Ji-yeon and Shirley made an appointment to drink and chat together in the hotel room at night.
As a result, knowing that Lee Sung-ho was also in Hanoi, IU was inevitably distracted to think about Lee Sung-ho.
Li Chenghao has not contacted him recently, and last weekend IU was thinking about whether he would be called by Li Chenghao to attend an event.
Didn't Choi Sung-geun say that he would get together again after returning to Seoul, and it seems that he didn't make an appointment with Lee Sung-ho.
In those two days, IU would pick up his mobile phone from time to time to take a look, and always felt that he would receive a call from Li Chenghao the next moment.
As a result, Li Chenghao was like evaporating from the world, not to mention the phone, not even a single message.
IU kept hinting to himself in his heart that Lee Sung-ho might be very busy because of this concert, after all, it was the first time he had led such a large-scale special concert stage overseas since he took office.
Stretched
With the end of the rehearsal of Lee Seon-mi's "Gashina", Lee Sung-ho walked towards the bathroom.
turned on the shower, and just at the moment when the door was closed, IU's "Night Letter" also began rehearsal, but unfortunately Li Chenghao didn't hear it.
10:30 a.m
Campus playground
A makeshift backstage lounge area for the concert
Singers and idols greet each other's seniors.
Close friends also get together to chat about the current situation.
In the lounge where the Sistar group was located, the appearance of an uninvited guest shocked the four members of the group.
"Oh, hello"
Seeing this person appear at the door of the lounge, Captain Xiaolin was the first to stand up and say hello.
The members got up one after another and greeted them in a daze.
"Sit it all"
The person who came was not polite, and he pulled a chair and sat opposite the four of them.
looked at Xiao Lin in the center: "Lawyer Jin Zhongrong has looked for you, right?" ”
As soon as they spoke, the four of them were even more confused.
Yin Baola cautiously asked, "President Nim knows Kim Zhongrong's lawyer Nim?" ”
The person who came to the Sistar lounge was none other than Lee Sung-ho.
smiled: "I asked him to find you." ”
"President Nim, why?"
"I'm the owner of Zion Entertainment"
As soon as this sentence came out, there was no need to say anything, and the four of them understood it in an instant.
I thought that Zion Entertainment was jointly founded by IU and her agent, and she also signed Tara into the company, but I didn't expect the boss behind it to be Minister Lee Sung-ho of CJ Entertainment, no, it should be the president of TVN Lee Sung-ho now.
It's no wonder that companies can sign into Tara instantly, and they have already been approached before, not only by being familiar with the industry, but also by mastering the artist's contract time.
Now that the explanation makes sense, the boss is Li Chenghao, the fourth generation of the chaebol, no matter what happens, it will not be surprising.
Now
Among the four, Hyo-rin cheered up and looked at Lee Sung-ho: "Is President Nim here today for Sistar's signing of Zion Entertainment?" ”
nod
Li Chenghao didn't like to drag the mud and water, so he said directly: "There is no shortage of resource companies such as albums, concerts, TV series, movies, variety shows, etc., Sistar is one of the idol groups I recognize, so I sincerely invite you to join Zion Entertainment"
The boss personally came forward, and they felt it completely.
Originally, when I met Kim Zhongrong the day before yesterday, I was already thinking about agreeing to sign with Zion Entertainment, but today's appearance of Lee Sung-ho has made all the members of Sistar have no worries.
"Discuss the specific content of the contract with Jin Zhongrong and Representative Pei Zhonghan, the conditions must be better than you before, and I still have to leave in advance."
After saying that, Lee Sung-ho got up and left Sistar's lounge.
It's really in a hurry, and it's in a hurry.
Decisive and confident.
The four of Sistar, you look at me, I look at you, and only after half a ring did they spread their hands: "So, we are now artists from Zion Entertainment?" ”
"yes"
Outside the lounge, by the playground.
Han Shanya hurriedly greeted Li Chenghao after seeing him come out of the Sistar lounge: "President Nim has dealt with them before." ”
"Sort of"
"Shall we go to the lounge of the artists owned by S.M now? Girls' Generation, EXO, SHINee, and RedVelvet were all on the scene. ”
"Let's go"
"By the way, the MC of this concert is enabled GOT7 member Wang Jiaer, RedVelvet captain Bae Joo-hyun and rapper SanE."
"Got it, let's go, let's go to the RedVelvet lounge first"
