Chapter 240: Cooperation between companies
After dealing with work in KaKao Company for a few days, Lin Yi came to Starship Entertainment again, and this time he also had a lot of work to communicate with several managers of the company.
Tencent Xiaoma mentioned the establishment of a joint venture entertainment company in China at the last dinner, Lin Yi thought carefully during this time, and decided to agree to this proposal.
But he doesn't have to ask about the specific things, and he still has to let the people on Starship Entertainment's side follow up on this matter, after all, he doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, so let's leave it to professional people.
As soon as Lin came to the office, he called the president Cui Ruzhen, and then told her about the establishment of a joint venture entertainment company.
Cui Ruzhen now admires Lin Yi even more, even more in the five bodies, even if he goes to Huaxia, he can reach this kind of cooperation agreement with the largest domestic Internet company in Huaxia, which is simply impossible for other Korean entertainment companies.
All the entertainment brokerage companies in South Korea are peeking at the vast market of Huaxia, but there are very few entertainment companies that can set up in Huaxia, and most of them are still in the nature of offices, just responsible for recruiting trainees in Huaxia, and there is no other business at all.
Although the entertainment company established by Starship and Tencent was also recruiting trainees at the beginning, it could also participate in the production of variety shows, talent shows, TV dramas and other entertainment industries in China later, which laid a solid foundation for Starship Entertainment to step out of South Korea.
"President, how many shares do we have in this entertainment company?" Cui Ruzhen asked the crucial question.
"You can go and talk to Tencent about this, my demand is not less than 30%." Lin Yi also knew that Tencent would not be able to give too many shares.
"Okay, then I know what to talk about."
Compared with Cui Ruzhen's optimism, Lin Yi actually does not attach much importance to this upcoming joint venture entertainment company. The main reason is that in addition to fans, most Chinese people are more repulsive to Korean artists, so it can be said that it is quite difficult for Korean artists to integrate into China.
Although the road is very difficult, there is no harm in establishing such a company for Starship, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and it can earn a little is a little, not to mention that this can also accumulate a lot of experience in transnational cooperation for Starship Entertainment, and it can also cultivate more talents.
"President, do you have any other requests?"
It was also the first time for Cui Ruzhen to face such a major negotiation task, and he was also very uncertain.
"If the company is to be established in the capital, there must be at least a deputy general manager position on the Starship side, of course, it would be better if we were in charge of the operation of this company. In addition, it is also necessary to negotiate with Tencent in advance about the ownership of the cultivated artists, contracts and other issues. You organize the people in the company to discuss it."
"Yes, I see."
"Also, since we are going to recruit trainees from Huaxia, these children must have a lot of discomfort when they come to South Korea at the beginning, and it is estimated that Hangul will not be able to do so, so the company must take care of it accordingly."
"Yes, the company has teachers who are responsible for the daily life of trainees, and there are teachers who are responsible for teaching Chinese, Japanese, and English."
"That's good, you can do the rest, as long as we don't suffer losses, there are more places to cooperate in the future, and don't care about temporary gains and losses."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
After talking about the cooperation with Tencent, Lin Yi remembered the new girl group he proposed some time ago.
"President Choi, what is the current situation of the company's new girl group? Where's the progress?"
"President, I and several other teachers have already selected some candidates, but they haven't been finalized yet."
"Well, don't be in such a hurry to determine, the selection conditions can be appropriately improved, I have high hopes for this girl group, the strength of singing and dancing cannot be watery, and you can't only choose trainees with excellent appearance."
"Yes, strength is also one of the fundamental requirements for our selection of members this time."
"That's good, what are you going to do with the company's male trainee?"
"There weren't many male trainees in the company, some of them left on their own, and I introduced the rest
Other entertainment agencies."
"Well, it's not that the company doesn't launch a men's group, but now we have to focus on the women's group first, and after two years, the results of the women's group are good, and we still have to train male trainees."
"Yes, I understand that."
"Fang Shihyuk represents that over there, I remember you told me that you were going to launch a boy group, right?"
"Yes, now that the members have been confirmed, the debut song is also being recorded, and it should be in the M music program "M! officially debuted."
"M, okay, I see, what do you think of this boy group?"
"I'm not very familiar with the members inside, but I heard from Representative Fang that they are all good seedlings that he has cultivated for many years, and they are very powerful, and he is confident that this boy group will become a general trend."
"Okay, I'll ask him myself."
"President, if there's nothing else to do, I'll go and get busy first."
"Okay, you go."

After Cui Ruzhen left, Lin Yi asked the secretary to call Kim Sang-woo, who was in charge of the film and television department.
"President, are you looking for me?"
"Yes, please be seated."
After Kim Sang-woo sat down, Lin Yi opened his mouth and asked:
"Vice President Kim, the TV series "The Inheritors" has finished filming."
"Yes, the feature film has been filmed, there are still some transition scenes being re-filmed, and the first two episodes have been edited."
"Well, this is the first TV series launched by Starship Entertainment, and it must be well-made and no problems are allowed."
"Yes, I will definitely supervise the execution myself."
"What about the other TV series, when will the filming start?"
"The crew of "I Hear Your Voice" has been formed, all aspects are ready, and filming will officially start in a few days."
"Oh? The actor was decided so quickly?"
"Yes, the actor you recommended has also been confirmed as the leading actor."
"Huh? Actor?" Lin Yi really didn't expect it at this time, he thought that it would be a supporting role or something at most.
"Yes, screenwriter Park was very satisfied with the performance of actor Lee Jong Suk, and the director had no other opinions, so it was confirmed."
"Since the screenwriter and director have no opinion, then it's okay, who is the heroine?"
"Lee Bo-young is an actress born in 1979."
"I remember that this Lee Jong Suk was born in 1989, and the difference between the male and female protagonists is ten years old?"
"President, this TV series itself is about the story of sister and brother love."
"Uh, okay."
Lin Yi also understood why the screenwriter and director chose Lee Jong Suk as the leading actor at this time.
"President, in addition to the relevant talents, does the film and variety show department established by the company have to sign some exclusive artists to come in?"
"Okay, you have a goal?"
"Well, I've reached out to some artists, and although I've made some promises, they're still hesitant."
Lin Yi lit the table rhythmically with one hand, and his mind was also thinking about how to solve this situation.
Often big-name artists or influential artists are not very interested in the signing fee, and these people are often interested in the resources that the company can give, or the prospects for the company's development.
It's just that at present, Starship Entertainment does not have many resources that can be used now, and it really can't attract these big-name artists to join.
However, although Starship Entertainment does not have many resources, KaKao Group has more resources, whether it is a TV station or a distribution company, it is very important in the entertainment industry, not to mention that it also has social software with tens of millions of users like k, which can be said to have a huge influence.
And these two companies belong to Lin Yi.
"In this case, I'll talk to the person in charge of KaKao Entertainment about the cooperation between Starship and KaKao."
"That's great, so I can lobby those artists and get it."
There are a lot of conditions for making a move."
"Well, tomorrow morning, you come to KaKao Company, and I'll introduce you to someone over there."
"Yes, President"
The reason why Lin Yi didn't want Starship Entertainment and KaKao Group to intersect in the past was just because he didn't want to be too high-profile, and now only a limited number of people know about it, and the general public doesn't know that the major shareholder of these two companies is Lin Yi.
Now that the cooperation between these two companies is not too deep, Lin Yi doesn't want to go too deep, just simple cooperation.
