Seoul, Samseong-dong, LOEN Company Building,
In the corridor on the top floor, An Zhengxun, who was guarding the door of the president's office, smiled and rejected waves of people who wanted to visit Jin Zhixi. Unfortunately, the conversation between the two presidents in the room did not seem to be very pleasant.
"Xie Qianyuxi, you should know who is the financial backer behind our LOEN without me telling you, right?"
"You just said so much and drew one piece of pie after another, but you seem to have failed to tell me how to handle the relationship between the two companies from the beginning to the end?"
After dealing with Xie Qianyuxu for more than 20 minutes, Jin Zhixi, the current president of LOEN Entertainment, finally showed a hint of impatience on his face. Although the other party's offer was very attractive, he was unmoved.
The reason is simple: this record company called LOEN does not have the final say.
Xie Qianyu also knew what the other party was worried about, but as an important part of the plan, he was unwilling to let LOEN go: "President Jin, I know you have your concerns, but I want us to cooperate. The hierarchy should be one that is well within your purview and can be addressed appropriately.”
"Xie Qianyuxi, I know that you have had a smooth journey as an artist and starting a company, but I want to remind you that just like you rely on Ms. Li Meijing, all I can be responsible for is the management section of LOEN idol development. If If you want to discuss the release of the record, I’m afraid you’ll have to go to the person above me.”
Xie Qianyu knew why the other party said that. It was because he only handed over T-ara's album distribution rights to LOEN Company, and his own album distribution has always been different in different countries.
For example, Europe, the United States and South Korea are all distributed by Universal Music, and RB is Aihui, which has an absolute advantage in the local market share. In China and the Asia-Pacific Chinese area, Taihe Maitian and Haidie jointly promote and distribute.
When he heard Jin Zhixi mentioning that there was someone above him, Xie Qianyu was still secretly frightened and turned the cup in his hand as if nothing had happened.
"President Kim, neither I nor T-ara have any plans to release an album in the near future."
"I made an appointment today just to cooperate with artists from QS and LOEN in the music industry, film and television industry and even the variety show industry."
After sincerely expressing his intention, Xie Qianyu finally got a chance to continue speaking: "I also know that LOEN Entertainment is a powerful company with SK's capital injection. Under such circumstances, President Jin does not want to make outstanding achievements. , so that you can take yourself to a higher level?”
"LOEN is developing very well in the entertainment industry now. In fact, I don't think there is any need to reach a so-called 'alliance' with QS."
"Really, President Kim?" As the saying goes, when facing someone who wants something like this, the best way is to attack what they want. "Are you planning to expect BEG, which is half a generation past its expiration date, to reach its peak again? Or are you going to rely on IUxi, who has just started to improve after debuting for more than two years?"
"I'm afraid I won't thank you for your trouble. IU's results in last year's "Nagging" and this year's "Good Days" were already very good, and Gain's acting career is also developing very well."
"I wonder if President Kim thinks IU's "Good Days" will win the New Year's Song, or what is the probability of it entering the top ten of melon?"
Xie Qianyu paused deliberately, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and continued: "I know that the LOEN family has a great business, and even the melon platform belongs to you, but you dare to risk the disapproval of the world and make her data exceed Me? A few songs that have topped the B charts?"
"As a solo female singer, in the current market where girl groups are everywhere, the most profitable thing is the music source that is outside the industry. If I have been dominating the music chart, do you think IU still has room to bring profits to the company now? ?”
After finishing his nonsense, Xie Qianyu, whose face was not red and his heart was not beating, could not help but praise his ability to "intimidate".
In less than two years, IU has become a top-notch solo singer who is known as a "one-man band". Her earning power is enough to support her own small subsidiary. Now, in his words, she seems to be a female idol that can be picked up anywhere.
When it comes to his own interests, the arrogant Jin Zhixi couldn't help but soften his tone: "Other entertainment companies can't watch you dominate and keep eating the biggest cake. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to your own safety, Xie Qianyuxi..."
"You don't have to worry about it, President Kim." Still looking calm and composed, Xie Qianyu drank the tea in the paper cup in one gulp and prepared to leave, "President Kim of SM and President Park of JYP both You and I are very good friends, and I think we will get along very happily when it comes to sharing the cake."
In a few words, the right to speak was transferred back to himself, and Xie Qianyu used a "carrot and stick" policy to make a fool of himself.
"Wait a moment."
Jin Zhixi stood up, pushed the transparent frame, and said as if he had made up his mind: "Since Gan Yuxi has made it so clear, I am not ignorant of current affairs. On behalf of the LOEN Entertainment Department, I hope to be able to communicate with you." The long-term cooperation is limited to the cooperation between our two agencies in the music industry!"
"I also hope that IU or Gain will appear in the upcoming "Idols" and the TV dramas currently being filmed by QS Company!"
Haha, this submissive look... Aren't you still afraid that the relationship between CJ and SK will not be good? It's obvious that I didn't even come out to talk about it, okay...
After making a fuss in his heart, Xie Qianyu weighed the variety shows and TV resources that the other party wanted. Compared with what he wanted, they seemed to be worthless: "Deal!"
----------------------------------------
"How was the talk?"
As soon as he got into his business car, An Zhengxun couldn't hold himself back and asked Xie Qianyu about the results of the discussion just now.
"It's not that good. I almost tempted him with the RB market and the Chinese market. But it can be regarded as planting a nail in the behemoth LOEN. It's worth paying a few conditions."
Xie Qianyu pinched his eyebrows feebly, which was his habitual action when he was depressed, and An Zhengxun naturally saw that his boss's plan was not going well.
While slowly driving the car out of the basement, An Zhengxun still couldn't hold back his inner confusion: "Your plan is really crazy. If it really succeeds, you will be the 'martial arts leader' of the Korean entertainment industry. You Have you ever thought about what the success rate is?”
"Leader of the martial arts alliance? Haha, every man who wants to 'order the world and don't dare to disobey' will end up miserable in the end. There is nothing I can do about it."
Ever since Li Juli flew to the United States without saying a word, Xie Qianyu realized that the original route of the world had been ravaged by him, and even if he tried his best, he would no longer be able to follow the original route step by step.
For example: "NO.9", "Sugar Free", "Sexy Love", "UP&DOWN", "ROLY-POLY", "Lovey-Dovey", he has shown and listened to Li Haoyang and others. If they have passed, then they will naturally not be the creators of these songs in this life.
But don’t these musicians just write songs?
I just can’t write songs like that anymore.
"In this case, why not let me write all the hits, hits, popular songs, and unpopular songs, and then distribute them to the idol groups. As long as they have been in my mind, I will write them all. Carve it!"
Use an unprecedented library of creative music to reasonably allocate the idol market, supplemented by massive resources from variety shows, TV series, and even movies, to establish an alliance of your own in the competing entertainment circles, or a new order!
This is the original version of Xie Qianyu's "crazy plan"...
"The success rate is fifty-fifty. It's either success or failure. Anyway, I've never seen this kind of approach myself."
An Zhengxun shook his head helplessly. The phrase "high risk, high reward" was vividly displayed in Xie Qianyu at this moment. This kind of tightrope walking behavior was never seen in him, who was always conservative.
"Then shall we go to the next two small companies now?"
"Go, we've already made an appointment, why can't we go? No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat. The 'Martial Arts Leader' must not only have the Shaolin Beggar Clan, but also the Five Poison Sect and the Diancang Sect and so on... ."
Two hours later, Xie Qianyu walked out of the office of the president of FNC, which also belonged to the "CJ Camp" with a spring breeze on his face. Even though he was exhausted physically and mentally, Han Shenghao's good words still gave him a chance to breathe.
"President Han, the band is indeed a good form of expression, but it still needs to be used according to the situation. God teaches us to be humble, and the same is true in the way we operate."
After a few words of cryptic mention, Xie Qianyu got into the compartment of the business car, leaving Han Shenghao to savor the wind for a long time: he found this young junior more and more interesting, not only the songs he produced were leading the way. After a few years, even the words he spoke were both Zen-like and deeply Christian, which he liked very much.
(Note: Long time no see, I feel like I have to say something.
The protagonist here is not only pointing out that AOA's early model of a girl band was too vague, but also suggesting that FNC has reached a point where it has failed to manage artists. It depends on how far Han Shenghao Xi can understand.
----------------------------------------
After a busy day of visiting five companies, Xie Qianyu returned to his QS office at sunset, and there was a plenary meeting waiting for him to chair in the conference room of the company building.
In the stylishly decorated QS building, QS employees who had finished their day's work rushed to the ladder conference room on the first floor one after another to prepare for the first collective meeting in the company's establishment more than half a year ago. The supervisors of each department have already been notified that this is the first staff meeting to be hosted by President Xie Qianyu personally, so no one dares to neglect it.
When the commercial vehicle drove into the company's basement, Xie Qianyu found that there was still plenty of time, so he and An Zhengxun went to the sixth floor to rest for a while.
"Boss, the girl you are looking for came to our company to report in advance today. I just received the news. Do you think it is?"
"Oh, Yalin..." The white and glowing figure from the previous life appeared in his mind, and Xie Qianyu had a lot of thoughts for a while, "You came just in time, come with us to attend the conference later."
"Ah you oh ha thi yo, thanks to the president nim..."
While Xie Qianyu was reading through the proceedings of the meeting later, An Zhengxun brought Li Yalin to the office from nowhere, and the 17-year-old girl still seemed very nervous when she saw the "boss" she had never met before.
"I am... Li Yalin... I am very happy to join QS Entertainment... I hope you can give me more advice in the future!"
The girl seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to finish a few words. Xie Qianyu just nodded in response, then put down the document in his hand and stood up: "Let's go, you are also welcome to join QS, let's go to the meeting downstairs. . Let me show your face today, and also tell everyone about your future arrangements."
A group of three people entered the elevator. An Zhengxun stood alone in the front, while Xie Qianyu and Li Yalin occupied the two corners at the back side by side. Xie Qianyu was still looking at the plan in his hand.
Li Yalin glanced at the famous president next to her from the corner of her eye from time to time. The man's face looked a little tired, but his serious and serious expression was still so handsome.
When this character, who was discussed by her classmates every day, was standing less than one meter away from her, she still felt as unreal as a dream.
When the door of the conference room was pushed open, the room where there was some discussion suddenly became quiet.
As Xie Qianyu walked towards the rostrum, he looked at the people in the audience - Lin Mingshu was sitting in the first row near the door, behind him were the logistics-related chef team, cleaning team, financial team and physical therapist team. From the posture, Look, these teams that silently maintain the daily order of QS Company are all under the supervision of Lin Mingshu;
In the middle, those sitting in the second row are T-ara brought by Lee Wang-wol, Song Joong-ki, Yoo Ah-in and their managers and assistant teams, as well as the makeup artist team, choreography team, composer team, etc. .
In the next few rows, there was a group of neatly dressed black suits with solemn expressions. They were the most elite security team, and the leader of this group turned out to be... Park Soo-min?
After entering the door, An Zhengxun walked straight to a group of people leaning on the other side of the wall. Over there was the financial department he was responsible for and had made outstanding contributions to Xie Qianyu's business territory. It was precisely because of this group of people who worked day and night. Making money in the securities market allowed QS to develop without any scruples in the entertainment industry, a gold-selling den.
The company that has been founded for half a year does not yet have a large number of talents, but it can be said that although it is small, it has all the internal organs. The troika that will accompany Xie Qianyu in the future has already begun to appear.
"Dear colleagues, dear ministers of QS Entertainment."
Xie Qianyu obviously had a serious look on his face, but everyone in the audience, uh, including Xie Qianyu himself on the stage, looked like he was suppressing a smile.
"Okay, okay, I'm not very good at those polite words that presidents like to say, and you don't like to hear them, so I won't say them!"
As the handsome man on the stage shook his head helplessly, everyone finally couldn't help but chuckle. Xie Qianyu then continued: "Most of them are old friends who have known me for a long time."
Hearing this, the originally serious people in black suits in the audience smiled slightly with memories. When they met the president, he was still as green as a big boy, but now that childishness has faded away. Er Jing, but the level of liveliness has not changed much.
"Today, I would like to introduce to you a new member of our QS family, who will also be a new member of T-ara."
what's the situation? ? ?
Everyone knows how favored T-ara is in the company, but at the moment when their career is just taking off, Xie Qianyu chooses to seduce people? No one present could understand what he was thinking.
Without waiting for others to think, Xie Qianyu, who wanted to cut the knot quickly, went on to say: "We invite Li Yalin xi from Hanlin Art High School. Everyone is warmly welcome!"
