Heads Up Hollywood

At the negotiating table, everyone at Samsung Electronics was frowning.

Don't look at Tim Cook's smiling and peaceful appearance, but he just refuses to let go, and doesn't even give him an extra chance. He will fly to Japan early tomorrow morning.

Li Zairong was sitting next to Tang En. He did not participate in the negotiations. He took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Mr. Walker will definitely stay in Korea for a few more days."

Tang En nodded, "Well, I can't refuse the kind invitation from the Film Promotion Committee, and I even arranged a film lecture."

Li Zairong said in surprise: "Lectures? It's really an honor for Korean movies to listen to your teachings on the spot! Your two speeches at Columbia University and the University of Southern California, even I, a layman, felt like a spring breeze after listening to them. Gained."

Tang En smiled and waved his hands: "It's too good, too good!"

"How can it be? Not at all, it's true. I can guarantee that with your guidance, Korean movies will rise to a new level." Li Zairong said swearingly, looking more confident than Tang En.

Tang En smiled without saying a word.

The three-star prince flattered him, and he was still in a good mood.

Next, Lee Jae-yong said half-jokingly: "Mr. Walker, you can't favor one over another. As far as I know, you are not only the best film director in the world, but also a top musician! For our Korean music, Can you give me some advice? The company under our umbrella, the record company we mainly cooperate with, is Universal Music. From this perspective, we are also partners."

Tang En pretended to be surprised and asked, "Samsung still has an entertainment company?"

"S/M Entertainment, it should be said is a brokerage company, music is a very important part." Lee Jae-yong said with a smile.

There are currently three major entertainment companies in South Korea: S/M Entertainment, YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment.

However, South Korea is a real chaebol country, such as the Samsung consortium, SK Group, Hyundai, Lotte, etc., and large consortiums are involved in all walks of life.

Among them, S/M Entertainment is affiliated with Samsung, YG Entertainment is backed by SK Group, and JYP Entertainment is backed by Seoul CJ Group.

However, the strength of CJ Group is relatively weak. In many cases, half of JYP Entertainment also has a foot on the big ship of Samsung. This can be seen through the shareholding structure. (CJ is actually a branch of Samsung.)

Tang En said with a smile: "So it's S/M Entertainment. It's very famous. I've heard of it. However, I can't talk about it if I give advice? Don't look at me as an American, but I also know that S/M Entertainment is Korea's No. 1 entertainment giant, the creator of Korean pop music K-POP, even "Forbes" magazine said so."

Li Zayong sighed, and said helplessly: "It's just superficial. Do you know the trainee system?"

Tang En raised his eyebrows and nodded, "I've heard of some in Japan."

Li Zairong said disdainfully: "What do the Japanese know? Their methods have long been outdated. Our trainee system is the best and most efficient star training mechanism in the world."

Tang En nodded noncommittally, "I seem to have heard of some."

nonsense!

The cultivation of trainees and the creation of idols are actually packaging and manufacturing people like industrialized products on the assembly line.

This kind of product requires removing the inherent personality of a person, and everything is introduced to the market according to the design standards of the brokerage company.

This is simply inhumane, and must be carried out with force and brutal means!

In this regard, the Koreans are more ruthless than the Japanese. They don’t treat people as people, but forcibly polish them as if they were products. Beating and scolding are just commonplace. Coupled with top-notch plastic surgery technology, they can naturally launch products that meet market expectations. Personality, appearance, personality" idol.

Lee Jae-yong sighed: "The company does not know how much resources it needs to invest in cultivating a successful idol group. As a result, the company made them popular, and they wanted to go solo and make a lot of money. There used to be HOT. Last year, the Shinhwa group Also collectively terminate the contract."

After finishing speaking, he shook his head frequently.

Tang En almost laughed angrily.

Pack!

Just keep pretending!

Those brainless idols, in order to make more money, dared to offend the giant brokerage company, isn't that crazy?

If you don't cancel the contract, although you are squeezed out, you can at least make a small amount of money, and you can continue to be a popular idol and enjoy the fans' pursuit and love. When you earn enough money for the company, maybe the brokerage company will show kindness and give you a way out.

However, if the contract is forcibly terminated, it will be miserable!

Take a look at HOT, which was popular all over Asia a few years ago, what happened after the contract with S/M Entertainment was terminated? Except for Kangta who renewed his contract with S/M Entertainment separately, everyone else has disappeared.

The same goes for idol groups "Shinhin" and "SES".

Such a super idol team that set off the "Korean Wave" boom, once the contract is terminated, the career will of course be wiped out, let alone other idol groups?

In a country like South Korea, going against S/M Entertainment and offending Samsung, is there any good fruit to eat?

Banning is an inevitable result.

Of course, this is also because the Korean entertainment industry has just started, and many artists do not understand the market at all.

It's good to have experience.

In a few years, no idol group will dare to clamor to terminate the contract with the brokerage company, unless the popularity is no longer there, or they really want to change their careers, or... they don't like the Korean market, and switch Go to Japan or China to develop.

Tang En suppressed a smile, and said lightly: "The old ones won't go, and the new ones won't come. Idol groups are like the wind, a trend comes and goes. Even if they don't terminate the contract, when they get older, they won't be popular for a few years. .”

Li Zairong seemed to have introduced Tang En as a confidant, nodded repeatedly, and said in surprise: "Yes, yes, that is what it means. The old ones will not go, and the new ones will not come. To be honest, SM Entertainment is cultivating more than 130 people. He is a good seed, and he plans to launch more and better idol groups. In the past, the main direction was boy groups, and next... will focus on girl groups!"

Tang En's heart skipped a beat, and he glanced at him, "What do you mean?"

Li Zairong smiled flatteringly, "Tomorrow...if you have time, I hope you can give guidance to the trainees."

"guide?"

Tang En raised his brows slightly suspiciously.

Lee Jae-yong lowered his voice, "Mr. Walker, I have arranged for your Japanese friends. I also found a tour guide who will take them around Korea. In fact, we Koreans are also very hospitable."

"Really?" Tang En remained calm.

Lee Jae-yong has no choice but to continue: "Mr. Walker, S/M Entertainment lacks a popular girl group. I know that you have a pair of piercing eyes. You are a famous goldsmith in the entertainment industry and have cultivated many Hollywood stars. If possible If so, I hope you can help, pick out a group of eye-catching female trainees from the more than 80 female trainees in S/M Entertainment, train them yourself, and discipline them."

Tang En narrowed his eyes slightly.

Savor his words carefully.

From more than 80 female trainees...choose a group of eye-catching...personally train...discipline...

Reminiscent of his last sentence, he clearly pointed out the Japanese girls Aoi Yu, Sasaki Nozomi, Aragaki Yui, Horikita Maki, Nagasawa Masami... and said that Koreans are also hospitable...

In fact, Tang En had already guessed something in his heart.

Lee Jae-yong will definitely use women to win him over.

After all, he is famous!

The whole world knows it.

Tang En was 100% sure of what he said now.

Li Zairong is giving him a big gift!

Moreover, it seemed that he was afraid that Tang En would refuse. It was obviously a gift, but he said it so gracefully and elegantly, as if he was begging Tang En...

After all, he is the prince of Samsung, with superb language skills and public relations skills!

This is not over yet, Lee Jae-yong went on to say: "Of course, we can't ask you to help in vain. Except that the manager of this girl group will stay in S/M Entertainment, and the revenue sharing must follow the contract. The control of the girl group can be completely handed over to you so that you can discipline it in a planned way. As a reward, I can give you the villa in Jiangnan District."

Tang En didn't know that in his previous life, Lee Jae-yong planned the "great achievements" of an international business conspiracy. He only knew that he was the president of Samsung Electronics, and he almost stepped down because his mobile phone exploded.

As soon as these words were finished, Tang En couldn't help showing a somewhat amazed expression.

This Lee Jae-yong is amazing!

The meticulous grasp of people's hearts is wonderful!

Look at his words——

The manager of this girl group wants to stay at S/M Entertainment, is this trying to steal people from Twain? On the contrary, this is using the power of SM Entertainment and the Samsung Group behind them to restrain them and make them obedient!

The income must be paid according to the contract. Is this a money grab? Wrong again, Tang En is the richest man in the world, would he care about such a small amount of money? What Li Jae-yong said was actually to let S/M Entertainment continue to squeeze the girl group’s income and be a villain; then treat Tang En as a good person and give them pocket money and warmth. They will naturally be grateful to Dade.

The control of the girl group can be handed over to Tang En. It is easy to understand that on the surface they are artists of S/M Entertainment, but in fact their final decision-making power rests with Tang En.

As for the villa in Jiangnan District... Tang En needs a suitable place to "discipline" this girl group, right? Hotels definitely won’t work, let alone dormitories.

It was originally Lee Jae-yong's mansion, so there must be no problem in terms of security and privacy.

Hand it over to Tang En, just right!

Li Zairong's words obviously brought great benefits to Tang En, and solved a series of follow-up problems in a comprehensive manner...even better than that of Japan's Zhou Fang Yuxiong.

As a result, the words in his mouth changed drastically, as if he had taken advantage of Tang En, and was begging Tang En pitifully to let go of his status and do him this little favor.

Inside and outside the words, they are all lowering their status and holding Tang En in a high position.

It can be said to give enough face!

Tang En was really surprised by the three-star prince in front of him. Such a shrewd person...he is rare!

More importantly, he is not only shrewd, but also willing to pretend to be a grandson.

This is the basis for great things to happen.

Tang En really couldn't find any reason to refuse such a sincere "pleading".

Why!

Then accept it!
