Hollywood Hunter

After letting someone take away the one, one, and one just now, Chen Qing ordered an attendant to inquire about the general information of the mother and daughter, and then entered the interview room.

Chen Qing didn't have any intention of intervening. She quietly watched a few interviews and listened to Shen Zailun's introduction of some details. After staying for more than ten minutes, she left here and came to a practice room on the third floor.

The trainees recently selected by jy Entertainment rushed over after being notified. There were about twenty people, half male and half male. Chen Qing vaguely heard a staff member whispering to Shen Zailun that some people could not be contacted. I don't care too much, today is Sunday, and it's the rest time. It's good to gather so many people so quickly.

Apparently it was explained in advance that when Chen Qing came in, a group of boys and girls who looked very outstanding in appearance bowed to Chen Qing and called her teacher.

This made Chen Qing feel a little weird, not as good as the senior's sound.

But, teacher?

I wonder if my boss likes this cosplay?

Shen Zailun personally took a roster from the staff next to him, handed it to Chen Qing, and said, "Miss Chen, do you want them to show it?"

"OK."

Chen Qing nodded, walked to the bench next to her for rest, sat down by herself, and opened the roster in her hand.

The bench was very long, but Shen Zailun didn't dare to sit down with him. Han Yunxiu, who originally wanted to do this, could only stand beside it when he saw this.

Shen Zailun thought about it for a while, and said hello, a baby-faced girl walked out of the crowd, bowed again to greet Chen Qing, and then began to sing a Korean song openly.

Chen Qing also looked through the roster and listened patiently. When the girl finished singing, she applauded symbolically, and the others quickly followed suit.

Seeing that Chen Qing hadn't found the girl yet, Shen Zailun bowed his body and introduced to Chen Qing: "Miss Chen, this girl is called Zhang Nala. She is 16 years old this year. She comes from a family of performers. She has been performing in stage plays since she was 8 years old. She has excellent qualifications." Moreover, her personal temperament is very special, I don’t think she needs to form a group, she can debut alone, and she can also try to develop in the direction of an actor.”

Chen Qing hummed solemnly on the surface, but couldn't help thinking that her boss didn't seem too interested in this baby-faced type.

It doesn't seem right either.

My boss seems to be willing to try any type, mainly because there are too many choices. Of course, there are also preferences.

I don't know what this girl's mother looks like?

Just met that pair and it was great.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing watched some singing and dancing performances, got up, went up to the fifth floor, and came to a small conference room.

Shen Zailun began to introduce his plan in detail: "After getting the funds, we plan to recruit 50 trainees this time, and we will roughly maintain the same number in the future. Then, starting next year, we will launch at least two groups or trainees every year. Solo singers like Nala just now. In addition, we also plan to add a sum of money to repackage the three existing groups under the company. They all have great potential, but in the past they just lacked resources and platforms.”

Chen Qing nodded, just listening patiently. This is a professional field, and she will not rashly point fingers.

Chen Qing only cares about the result.

Shen Zailun paused for a while, and continued: "Miss Chen, recently giants such as Samsung and SK have suddenly established their own entertainment departments, and several employees from jy have been poached. In order to retain people, I have to recruit some core employees. The wages have been raised, I need to tell you about this matter, I didn’t spend it deliberately just because I got the funds.”

This topic caught Chen Qing's attention.

In Shen Zailun's view, giants such as Samsung and SK seem to be menacing, but they are not.

After all, the future has not yet arrived. Korean entertainment industry, whether it is movies, TV or music, chaebol giants like Samsung don’t care at all. After the implementation of the 146-day movie quota system in South Korea last year, they realized that there is no guarantee of profit. It was only because of the lost business that some giants established their own film and television production departments.

Therefore, the three giants of 'Samsung Entertainment', 'SK Entertainment' and 'Modern Entertainment' this time are actually just a shell for the Westeros system to be affiliated with the chaebol.

After all, it is in South Korea, and the name of the chaebol is really easy to use.

Because the entertainment industry is not considered fancy, the three companies are also very happy to let the Westeros system backdoor, which can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.

As for the "Cultural Nation" project planned to be promoted by the Westeros system, and even Simon's judgment on the future of the Korean entertainment industry, Chen Qing is clear, but it is absolutely impossible to explain to the chaebols.

In short, this will be a very considerable business in the future, but in the eyes of the chaebol at this time, it is just a small business, and it may be considered as a personal preference of Simon, who was born as a director.

After all, it started with entertainment.

Since Simon Westeros is interested, take it.

This can be seen from the shareholding distribution of the three companies.

The entertainment companies affiliated to the Big Three, and the related chaebol families only hold 30% of the shares, and the remaining 70% are all in the hands of capital controlled by the Westeros system. Therefore, even if the current negotiations with few variables may not be reached in the end, it will be the Westeros system, which holds absolute control, and kicks out the plutocrats, not the other way around.

As for the future, with the rise of the Korean entertainment industry, the three companies will find that their shares are too small, and they will feel cheated?

Who can tell what will happen in the future?

Maybe the three chaebols themselves have changed their owners.

It is also worth mentioning that, according to Simon let the chaebol

Although the early bird strategy at the top holds 70% of the shares, the shares here are very scattered, so on the surface it is still the chaebol who hold 30% of the shares.

Like Samsung Entertainment.

The main body of Samsung Entertainment held by the Lee family of Samsung is Samsung Life, which is an insurance company in the Samsung system. It is absolutely controlled by the Lee family and holds 30 shares of Samsung Entertainment.

Fly 70 remaining.

Apollo Management, headquartered in New York, holds 20 shares.

An investment fund called Qingtian Capital, headquartered in Hong Kong and controlled by Chen Qing, holds 20% of the shares.

A company called Victoria International Group, headquartered in Melbourne, holds 15 shares.

Headquartered in Bern, Switzerland, the Thun Fund, which is named after a small Swiss city Thun and controlled by Charlotte Brenita, holds 15 shares.

All of these four companies, except for the slightly more obvious Apollo Management Company, the other three, without careful study, are difficult to trace back to the Westeros system. This is the effect Simon wants. In addition, Hyundai Entertainment and SK Entertainment also use other shell companies to hold shares, and there will be no oolong phenomenon that a large number of entertainment companies in South Korea all have the same group of shareholders.

Of course, for some people, it is still obvious at a glance.

The problem is that Simon did this not to deal with a few people, but to the majority of the general public in South Korea, giving them an illusion that since companies such as Samsung still hold the majority of shares and their names are also Samsung Entertainment, Then, these entertainment companies must be controlled by chaebols.

By analogy, next, such as the entire Samsung Group, SK Group, etc., will still give Koreans the feeling that these companies are controlled by local chaebol families.

Ultimately lead to contradictions.

It is still the evil Korean chaebol who oppresses the Korean people, and has nothing to do with the kind and law-abiding Westeros system. Simon Westeros is just a businessman who accidentally has a lot of money.

Harmless to humans and animals.

This is off topic.

In the small conference room of jy entertainment, Chen Qing heard Shen Zailun mention the company's being poached, and then realized that he should communicate some things, at least there should be no such thing as his own family's poaching of his own family's corner, causing vicious competition and raising costs for nothing.

However, Chen Qing didn't intend to fully reveal the truth, especially for a small label like jy entertainment.

According to the classification of their own boss, it is only a small brand like jy entertainment that focuses on the "idol industry", and the Westeros system has acquired 7 companies this time.

Still raising Gu.

As for Samsung Entertainment, it is a multi-line comprehensive development of film and television songs. After all, they are under the name of the top chaebol. Both financial strength and available resources are very rich. It is a waste to do one thing alone.

Therefore, you only need to give the heads of the three giants a list, and don't turn to jy and other small brands of their own.

As for the level of jy entertainment, let's compete freely.

After quickly sorting out these things, Chen Qing said to Shen Zailun: "I know about this matter, so let's raise your salary a little bit, but I hope that your future work results will be worthy of this salary."

"Sure, Miss Chen, we will do our best."

Chen Qing asked again: "Are there any other questions?"

Shen Zailun hesitated a little, and said: "Miss Chen, frankly speaking, the reason why I have been able to launch some groups in the past few years and maintain the company until now is not unrelated to my contacts in S, the promotion of artists is inseparable from the TV station. However, it is not easy to use these people. I mean, some time ago, the authorities lifted the layout of foreign investment in the cable TV field. A music cable station like v, so we can have our own promotion channels?"

Hearing this, Chen Qing raised her eyebrows slightly.

He thought to himself that it was not wrong to randomly choose the jy entertainment among a bunch of little Gu worms, Shen Zailun's suggestion was very good.

Actually, with regard to the TV station, under the reminder of her boss, Chen Qing has also been thinking about how to operate it recently, but her main goal is still to focus on the three mainstream wireless TV stations in South Korea, s, sbs and kbs, which cover the whole country , and plans have been made.

Of the three TV stations, s is privately owned, and the other two, sbs and kbs, are state-owned.

Just like the relevant media ban in the United States, even if it is a private company, foreign capital is not allowed to get involved, or even foreign capital is not allowed to control the parent company of the other party. Just like when Sony acquired Columbia, in order to adapt to the legal restrictions on the television industry in the United States, It had to package and sell some TV stations originally held by Colombia.

But it still works fine.

If you can’t hold shares, then find a way to recruit people inside the TV station, especially the two state-owned ones. With the recent good relationship established between the Westeros system and the Kim Young-sam administration and even Kim Dae-jung, who is very promising to come to power, At that time, from top to bottom, it was easy to get involved in the personnel arrangements of the two state-owned TV stations.

s is the same.

No company in South Korea can avoid the problem of funds and debts, and the equity cannot be controlled. It is like the domestic control method for entertainment companies, which controls through debt and indirectly obtains a certain degree of initiative.

Because thinking is limited to the existing structure of the current TV industry in South Korea, Chen Qing forgot to find another way.

The main reason is that South Korea's current cable TV industry is not prosperous.

South Korea has only been separated from the era of the military government for one term. Even the only private s was established in 1990. The development of Korean cable TV

Even more backward.

However, Chen Qing still understood that this was her negligence.

In the established plan, SK, which is mainly supported, will also set foot in the field of cable TV operators while developing the ISP business.

Now that there are platforms, it is easy to set up a batch of cable TV stations by the way.

A music station like V, or even, let’s spread it out, a movie station like HBO, etc., can be done. If it is done well, it can make a profit. Even if it is not very good, it can also provide publicity and marketing for the entertainment company controlled by itself here. Compared with the platform, the practice of placing manpower or indirect control on the wireless station is not as convenient as having your own platform after all.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing simply took out her memo and wrote it down on the spot. By the way, she also made up for some news about the three big companies, not just the seeds of the idol industry like jy entertainment, but also the recent acquisition A group of small and medium-sized film and television production companies that have injected capital must avoid being poached by the three major comprehensive development companies.

"I will seriously consider this matter," Chen Qing said to Shen Zailun after writing it down, "Is there anything else?"

"Not for the time being," Shen Zailun noticed that Chen Qing paid much attention to his suggestion just now, so he didn't say much, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Miss Chen, there is one more thing. It is not easy to create an idol group, especially if it is successful. idol group, it takes both time and luck."

"I understand," Chen Qing said, "However, President Shen, you also have to remember that if jy entertainment has spent all the funds we injected and hasn't made enough achievements, then you won't be able to get any support from us anymore. , even if you say it’s all bad luck, unfortunately, we will no longer cooperate with people with bad luck.”

Shen Zailun nodded slightly, and explained: "Miss Chen, you may have misunderstood me. I'm not trying to shirk something in advance, but I hope investors have some patience."

"This is definitely no problem. My boss has always been very patient and has a long-term vision."

Hearing Chen Qing mention someone, Shen Zailun subconsciously straightened his body, hesitated for a while, but couldn't hold back, and asked: "Miss Chen, can I confirm whether the boss you just mentioned is really Mister Simon Westeros?"

The reason why Shen Zailun couldn't help asking was mainly because even if they already knew some news, too many signs had been confirmed, but after all, they failed to get a definitive statement from Chen Qing.

Is it Simon Westeros?

This point is not only for Shen Zailun himself, it is actually very important for jy entertainment up and down.

If the answer is yes, knowing that they are actually working for Simon Westeros, even if they may never see that great man at the top, will certainly be a huge boost to the company. After all, this name is too dazzling in these years. .

In the expectant and apprehensive eyes of everyone in the conference room, Chen Qing didn't show off anything, nor did she deny it, she nodded and said, "Yes."

Shen Zailun was immediately solemn, and directly bowed slightly to Chen Qing in his seat, and said, "Miss Chen, it is my honor to be able to cooperate with Mr. Westeros."

Several other jy executives present also showed excited expressions when they heard Chen Qing's confirmation. Even though they had known some rumors before, they didn't dare to believe that they were really working for Simon Westeros until they heard Chen Qing's personal confirmation.

Han Yunxiu, who was sitting beside Chen Qing, thought of more.

Chen Qing had previously arranged for her to work in jy, and she also admitted frankly that she was helping a certain big boss behind the scenes to take care of the girls here so that they would not be stretched out indiscriminately. Even though he had already obtained enough information, Han Yunxiu still didn't dare to ask too clearly, but just agreed honestly.

Now, the problem is of course not one's own work.

But... my sister-in-law, the man behind the scenes, could it be... Simon Westeros?

sky!

The 36-year-old girl in her family was so lucky to be favored by a big man like Simon Westeros, which made Han Yunxiu feel more and more jealous. However, besides being jealous, Han Yunxiu is also a very realistic person, secretly reminding herself that she will definitely spend more time building a good relationship with her sister-in-law in the future.

As long as she can please her sister-in-law and blow some pillow wind at Simon Westeros, she, and even her husband who has been arranged by Chen Qing to work in the modern age, may be able to go further.
