Heads Up Hollywood

In front of Tang En, Li Jae-yong was like his third grandson. Even Jun Ji-hyun had to be sent out to accompany Tang En, acting as a joking female companion.

Facing the big boss from the United States, Li Xiuman can't wait to take out his heart, how can he distinguish what to say and what not to say?

Next, let's talk about the current operation of s/m entertainment company.

In the era when digital music has had a serious impact on traditional records, South Korea is the first country in the world where digital music sales surpass physical products. However, the impact of the Internet on copyright and prices has shrunk the revenue of the entire recording industry.

In order to cope with the changing situation of the times, s/m entertainment tries to let artists get involved in a wider range of fields, such as filming commercials, TV, musicals, endorsements, concerts and peripheral products, etc.

Peripheral derivatives related to artists account for about 20% of s/m entertainment's revenue. Whether it is perfume, accessories, or clothing, s/m entertainment can do everything.

"When formulating the artist's packaging image and direction in the early stage, the corresponding production has already begun." President Xu Daxin explained, "This will ensure that fans can buy related products as soon as a certain artist is released."

Next, s/m entertainment will focus on infiltrating the "life field" in addition to the traditional two traditional sectors of "artist agency" and "music content production" to comprehensively promote the fan economy.

Such an operation strategy made Tang En secretly nod.

Don't look at the fact that the Korean entertainment industry is copying Japan, but they have really carried forward.

Ten years later, the entire Asian entertainment culture is copying the Korean model.

From idol groups, to the fan economy, from the plastic surgery industry, to the marketing model of life...

And so on.

Next, we talked about the artist's contract.

Tang En has known for a long time that Korean artists are very hard-working, especially the trainees who were trained by the brokerage company since childhood.

In the end, after listening to Li Xiuman's introduction, I realized that I was still too simple.

"After an artist debuts, all the income in the first three years must be handed over to the company. Because artists usually have to debut three years before they can really make money. During this period, the company needs to spend a lot of money to help them pave the way for marketing. Three years In the future, artists will be able to receive income dividends in addition to their basic salary. The prerequisite is that the album sales exceed 100,000 copies. Usually, it is 19 to 19. If the artist becomes popular, the company will make concessions and offer 20 to 80 contracts. .”

It doesn't matter whether it's open in 1999 or 2080 in 2018. Of course, it's the brokerage company that takes the bulk.

Sure enough, it was a squeeze of death!

After visiting and researching for more than an hour, Tang En was a little tired.

The s/m entertainment was also arranged very well. Tang En was invited to a small studio, where fruit plates, meals, snacks, dried fruits, etc. were already set up.

Tang En was also polite, and sat down in the middle seat, with Lee Jae-yong on the left and Jun Ji-hyun on the right.

Ahead is a small stage.

It's time to see the show.

Soon, a few men and women with painted eyebrows, driven by a blast of music, came onto the stage from both sides and jumped violently.

The movement is very vigorous, and the dancing posture is also good.

Just... what are you doing?

Came all the way here to see these men and women?

"Change the girl group!"

After watching for two minutes, Tang En couldn't bear it anymore.

Li Xiuman sat behind Tang En and Li Zayong so that he could take care of him at any time. Hearing this, he waved his hand and rearranged.

Then, there are all kinds of girls.

Not to mention, the white and tender little arms, long legs, and the curvaceous figure when dancing really made Tang En feel a lot better.

However, there's really nothing amazing about it.

In the current s/m entertainment, the focus is on boy groups and girl groups... Ever since the disbandment of ses, they have not been the top players.

I changed three or four women's groups in a row, but I didn't see any stunning results.

It's not as enjoyable as watching videos of top girl groups like Girls' Generation, t-ara, and kara on the computer screen in my previous life.

In 2004, it was still in the embryonic stage of the idol girl group.

The real explosive stage will wait until after 2007, when the emergence of ondergirls and Girls' Generation officially started a new era of Hallyu girl groups.

Li Xiuman has been secretly observing Tang En's expression, and eagerly leaned over and said: "Mr. Walker, the next group is our company's most outstanding girl group Sugar. Although it is only a semi-finished product, it is already the most successful since Ses girl group."

Sure enough, the next thing I saw were four young girls bouncing up. They were wearing the same blue skirts, with white stockings on their calves, showing half of their thighs, and their chests were bulging, which was quite eye-catching.

But the appearance is really not flattering.

They first bowed to the distinguished guests in the front row, and then began to dance swayingly as the music sounded.

Needless to say, their performances are much more mature than those girl groups just now.

While admiring the girls dancing, Tang En asked, "What do you mean by the semi-finished product?"

"After the failure of ses, we have been summing up experience and lessons, how to build a vital girl group, and after a long time of exploration, we found the way of character training and character design reality. This girl group is based on this The first sample created by the process, four girls, are cute and cheerful, quiet and shy, mature and introverted, smart and well-behaved, four distinct personality types." Li Xiuman quickly explained.

Tang En frowned, "Isn't this just facial makeup?"

"There is nothing wrong with facial makeup. Compared with an overly complex and changeable personality, facial makeup is easier to be remembered by fans." Speaking of this, Li Xiuman shook his head and said with some regret, "But the training time is short. Some of them can only be regarded as semi-finished products.”

Tang En's heart moved slightly, thinking of something, and asked: "So, your product is being developed in secret?"

Li Xiuman smiled and said: "That's true. The company now has 83 female trainees, all of whom are good seedlings. They are accepting this new model of assembly line production. If all goes well, the first finished girl group will be launched in 2006 , at the latest in 2007."

Hearing these words, Tang En felt as if there was a powerful righteousness rushing towards him from all directions!

Originally, the purpose of his coming here today was to select a group of pleasing girls among the trainees of s/m entertainment, and take them for his own use.

Kind of evil.

But after listening to Li Xiuman's words, everything is very different.

This is chivalry!

This is fighting against injustice!

This is saving the beautiful girl who was abused by s/m entertainment!

This is great justice!

Just imagine, if a person's character has to be forcibly polished and reformed according to the standards set by others.

How can there be any space for self?

How is it different from women who were oppressed by Confucian ethics in ancient times?

They must be rescued from the dire straits!

Tang En has a strong sense of mission.

I can't wait to rush to the training center of s/m entertainment immediately.

Of course, not all of them can be rescued, s/m entertainment spent so much money training trainees, they can't let them lose everything.

Just solve... nine!

Li Xiuman saw that Tang En's eyes were bright, and thought he had fallen in love with the sugar girl group, so he was relieved, and said with a smile: "It's already noon, why don't you let them come over and have dinner together?"

"Ah? Oh, no need, business matters."

Tang En didn't look sideways, with a straight expression on his face.

This so-called sugar girl group really didn't attract any interest from him.

It's better to have a few fun jokes with Li Zairong's little honey.

The sugar girl group...has a bad reputation, and after it disbanded, some members couldn't make ends meet and couldn't afford extravagant expenses, so they acted as sex girls in Japan, relying on their past fame to sleep with rich men...

...

Cheongdam-dong is the most prosperous place in South Korea, and it is also the place where idol idols are most concentrated.

It is filled with all kinds of fashion, beauty, manicure, and luxury trendy brand stores.

The office building of s/m entertainment is here.

After lunch, Tang En was going to the old building in Sinsa-dong.

There is a training center for trainees.

Tang En's arrangement for today: in the morning, he inspected the headquarters building of s/m entertainment, and learned about the company's operating mechanism and artist training model; in the afternoon, he will go to the training center, use his "golden eyes", and pick out a team based on his understanding Appropriate girl group, focus on training.

The old building has three floors and is rather dilapidated.

The first floor is for male trainees, the second floor is for female trainees, and the third floor is for work offices.

Tang En and his party went straight to the second floor without saying a word.

Before coming, Tang En had already explained, don't make special arrangements.

He wants to see the real situation of the trainees.

Then I really got to know it.

On the second floor, there is a long corridor.

There are many different practice rooms on both sides of the corridor, and loud music can be heard from time to time.

There are many middle-aged men and women in the corridor, walking around in a hurry, looking like they are very busy at work.

However, these are not important!

Tang En stopped in his tracks immediately, a little shocked by the current scene.

In the corners on both sides of the corridor, on the hard concrete floor, there were two rows of girls kneeling.

Most of them look about thirteen or fourteen years old, some look smaller and thinner.

Punish to kneel...

Tang En twitched the corner of his mouth.

If it's just kneeling, it's fine. All the girls kneeling in the corner must raise their hands straight up, without even the slightest chance of being lazy.

A few girls, who may have made more serious mistakes, even held a small water basin above their heads, already gritted their teeth, and couldn't bear it.

But the adults who kept walking in the corridor completely ignored them.

Tang En claimed that he was not sympathetic.

But when he saw such a scene, he couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, and he felt complicated emotions.

Who doesn't pamper such a little girl like a baby?

Tang En even dared to guarantee that if anyone dared to bully little Taylor like this, he would go up and fight desperately.

But right now...

Tang En took a few deep breaths, feeling very depressed.

Is it worth it to receive such inhuman treatment just to be a star?
