Korean Entertainment: Little Umbrella of Happiness

This is a real number of moviegoers, and it does not accumulate box office slowly over time.

Naturally, the Korean media praised this movie and said it was going to fly into the sky. Although it was a bit excessive, it has to be said that Haeundae made such a movie at such a cost, and it was actually very good.

Not bad.

Under such circumstances, Li Huanxi was dragged to watch movies two or three times. Some were with the children from the company, some with the precious girl, and some with the beautiful sister who was facing a resentment. Li Huanxi had no choice but to go.

Yes, and both of them had obviously seen it once, but this sister still wanted to watch it. Li Huanhua could only express his helplessness.

While working and studying at the same time, Li Huanhua has already started to do another thing. Of course, it is just a small plan. The essential work now is the release of Bae Seulqi's comeback sound source on the 18th the day after tomorrow, and the showca color tomorrow.

………………

"Not bad, not bad. The character design and painting style are okay, but the face shape, the face shape, it looks like a product from Cheongdamdong Plastic Surgery Hospital. Don't be too impatient. I don't rush you to work. First, think about each person's image.

If the problem really doesn't work, just look for it in reality, then process it a little and then draw it out. This will be much better than your current situation!"

Li Huanhua stood in front of the computer, looked at some drawings and electronic drafts brought by Zhu Donggen, and commented on them very seriously.

This is the eighth floor of Jinhai Building. As for where Jinhai Building is... it is the building where Li Huanxi Company is located.

Another half month has passed, and Li Huanxi's company finally looks like a company. The recruitment work is basically over. From an ordinary clerk to the head of the publicity department, and then to security and reception, Li Huanxi

I have met so many different kinds of men and women during this time.

No matter what, Li Huanxi finally completed this matter. To be honest, he feels quite accomplished. But the only thing that makes Li Huanxi sad is that the ordinary positions have basically been recruited, but executives, executives, Li Huanxi is very helpless.

ah,

Now Li Huanhua's company actually doesn't have a lot of people. You can count them all in two slaps. There is the Finance Minister Sister Lin, one Propaganda Minister, four clerks, two from the Propaganda Department, two for regular office work, two for reception, and then there is Li Huanhua.

Li Yumei, the little secretary.

Of course, there are still some people in the company, such as Jiang Zhien and Zheng Xueli. However, Li Huanxi only counts those who were recruited later. If we look at the total number of people, there are probably more than 20 and close to 30 people in the company.

President Li Huanhua usually works in the recording studio below. If something happens, Li Youmei will notify him outside the president's office above. Anyway, the company has nothing else to do except Bae Seulqi's return, so

It's still normal, just a little bit worse.

Li Huanhua was also helpless. In fact, there were two suitable people. Judging by their experience, they were all department heads who had worked in large companies. They also had great ideas. However, these people were relatively around forty years old and had traditional

Koreans have very serious habits, and Li Huanhua doesn't want to think that when he is no longer there, the company will turn into a company like S.M., with various systems and regulations, as well as various trainee pits and the like.

Li Huanhua reluctantly gave up in the end. He didn't want to create an atmosphere where everyone in the company was harmonious, but he didn't like those traditional Koreans very much. Although the president's majesty and other things were necessary, it didn't happen every day.

To show off, no matter whether Li Huanhua is young or naive, he at least wants to find a partner who fits his ideals.

But it's okay now. Anyway, the company has more people and the operations of various departments are somewhat normal. As long as Li Huanhua makes decisions and leaves some trivial matters to the subordinates, everything will be fine.

Only major matters such as signing contracts are still being handled by Li Huanxi for the time being. For example, when Li Huanxi signed contracts with several other music source websites, he still went there by himself.

There are still two days until the sound source is released. Tomorrow is the audition of the album, which is almost the press conference. In Korea, this is generally called a showca. On the eve of the singer's return, a showca will be held two or three days in advance to warm up.

The media publishes some reports, then comes the release of the music source and album, and then comes the eback stage of the music program.

Bae Seulgi's showca will be held at the MBC Ilsan Dream Center venue, where she will perform all three songs in the ep, and will then perform an eback at the MBC Music Center on Saturday.

As for why I chose MBC, of ​​course it’s because Li Huanxi has a pretty good relationship with MBC. Of course, I don’t mean with the senior management, but with MBC’s head MC Yoo Jae-seok, and I also have a good relationship here, so this showca color

Li Huanhua asked Zheng Yunjing to contact the venue. Of course, Li Huanhua also stated that Bae Seulqi would return at the Music Center. As for the KBS Music Bank on Friday, Li Huanhua decided not to participate for the time being.

As for whether PDs who don’t participate in KBS will be unhappy, of course they won’t. To put it bluntly, every singer will give priority to choosing a TV station to do e-backs when they come back. If this makes them unhappy, then I’m afraid all of these PDs will become resentful wives.

In addition to these, the first version of the physical album that Li Huanxi finally decided to record was 40,000 copies. Now there are about 11,000 online pre-orders. Although it is pitiful compared to some popular singers, this number is very important for these two people.

For Bae Seulqi, who is getting more and more miserable in her years, she is already very good, and she is better than most singers.

And to be honest, almost half of the reason why there are so many pre-orders is because Kim Jong Kook is a feat, and Li Huanhua is the producer and takes over the songwriting of all the album's songs.

The cost of recording each album is about 5,000 won, which cost Li Huanhua another 200 million. However, Li Huanhua is completely out of money now. First, he signed a contract with Inje Middle School and spent 500 million to buy land, and then Bae Seulgi returned.

, MV recording, photo shooting, etc., plus daily expenses, Li Huanxi only had more than 300 million in his card at that time.

But fortunately, generally speaking, this payment is not a one-time payment. Li Huanhua paid 100 million, and the balance will be settled after Bae Seulqi's return activities, because if it becomes popular, it will definitely continue to be produced.

In fact, as a result, Li Huanxi now only has 200 million in his account. In Bae Seulqi's album, Li Huanxi invested about 230 million. Of course, the bulk of it is basically the cost of recording the physical album.

, and the remaining 200 million are actually not Li Huanxi’s.

The school owes 3 billion, and Loen still has a balance of 100 million. Li Huanxi can now be said to be heavily in debt.

However, if you want to make money, investment is also necessary, and the price of this album by Li Huanxi is 1.3 million Korean won. Because it comes with photos, it is slightly more expensive than ordinary albums. The Korean won at this time has not reached what it will be in the next few years.

ratio, so 1.3w is considered a mid-range price.

Because it was issued with the help of Loen, after Li Huanxi's efforts, the distribution share was lowered to 8%, and finally the supplier part was lowered to 12% after several discussions.

As a result, 20% will be divided. This is because Li Huanxi directly told Han Shitong that he would break up if they couldn't agree on the share, so he forced Han Shitong to sign an 8% contract. There was no way the two wanted each other.

, but Li Huanxi had many choices. Although Han Shitong also wanted to be like Li Huanxi, Li Huanxi’s promise to make iu popular was really attractive. In the end, the share was only reduced to 8%. Of course, recording records was originally

I can make some small profits.

On the supplier side, Li Huanxi directly rejected some chain stores that charged too high prices because he couldn't reach an agreement.

Although it seems that Li Huanxi's company can get 80%, after deducting the cost and the singer's share, in fact, if you include himself as a songwriter, the money the company can earn really cannot be said to be too much.

The company can earn 3,500 from an album, which is pretty good, and it may not be that much, after all, there are taxes.

So Korean management companies are all vampires. In fact, if the album is not popular, this amount of money is just enough to run the company. If you want to make a profit, you can only crazyly let artists accept announcements and exploit them inhumanely.

Anyway, no matter what, everything is ready now and all we need is the east wind.

It's almost six o'clock now. Zhu Donggen came over with his drawings after school. Because Li Huanhua had told him about drawing comics and publishing them very early. Xiaozhu's first reaction was that seniors can really joke.

But later Li Huanxi seriously asked him to do it, and Zhu Donggen, who regarded Li Huanxi as his idol and benefactor, also obeyed.

However, after Li Huanxi read it, he still pointed out a lot of problems. Although Li Huanxi is not a comic editor, from the perspective of an ordinary comic fan, some simple problems can still be pointed out.

Zhu Donggen still wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses and the uniform of Hongik Middle School, sitting next to the computer, looking a little uneasy.

However, after hearing Li Huanhua's answer, Zhu Donggen replied with some surprise: "Um, is there such a way? If you draw like others, won't you get into trouble?"

Li Huanhua rolled his eyes, and then said: "Don't be so rigid, okay? I'm not asking you to reproduce it completely. You can make some modifications, such as the shape of your head, or double eyelids and single eyelids. Your lips can be a little thicker, and you can make some changes."

It’s adjusted. Besides, this is not a Japanese comic style. If you really find it troublesome, just draw it like your classmates and friends, so you won’t have any conflicts!"

Li Huanxi, who was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, seemed to be in good spirits. The main reason was that he had a little more time to rest during this period. It was not like he was busy every day some time ago, so his spirits were much better.

Zhu Donggen nodded in sudden realization and secretly cursed himself as an idiot for not thinking of such a trouble-free way.

As for whether it is a good method or a trap, we can only know this after drawing it. (To be continued...)
