My Entertainment Circle

In the music director's office, Zhang Ping'an, Xika, and Li Xiuman sat on the sofa in the reception area and greeted each other. Zhang Pingan took two sips of the coffee brought in by his assistant, put down his cup and said, "Mr. Li Xiuman, recently I collaborated with MBC on another music program. We still have a good chance to cooperate."

It is a kind of respect for Zhang Pingan to call Li Xiuman "teacher". After all, he is indeed a very powerful businessman in the entertainment industry. It is not surprising that Zhang Pingan, a rising star in the entertainment industry, calls him "teacher". Zhang Ping'an's teacher.

Li Xiuman smiled kindly and said to Zhang Pingan: "I heard that you and MBC have gotten very close recently. Your "Living Alone" was launched, and our company also gave a lot of support? This time your new If the show has a chance, it must cooperate with us. After all, we have always maintained a cooperative relationship, haven't we?"

Zhang Pingan nodded and said: "Yes, we have always been very happy to cooperate. My first program was launched, and your company did give a lot of support. This is something I have always kept in mind. Huaxia has a saying' The kindness of a drop of water is reciprocated by the spring.'So your company is good, I will keep it in my heart, and I will definitely...no, it should be said that we will definitely have more cooperation opportunities in the future."

"Yes, we have more cooperation opportunities in the future." After Li Xiuman said this, he got to the point: "Then, do you think we can cooperate with Sika's brand this time? I heard that you are already in H.K has completed the flagship store, now..." Li Xiuman turned his gaze to Sika when he said this, with a kind of inquiry.

Sika answered Li Xiuman honestly: "The decoration of the store has been completed in all aspects, and the rest is waiting for our brand's products to be put on the shelves, which may open in a week at most."

"Is it going to open? The action is very fast. It seems that this matter has been implemented for several months. But our company has no news at all. If it weren't for the news published by the media of H.K. You were kept in the dark, Sika. You are...not right." Li Xiuman seemed to be very gentle when he said these words, but the warning in them was extremely serious.

Zhang Pingan picked up the conversation and said, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with idols. They're young people. Wouldn't it be great to start their own business while their fame is still there? After all, they'll also want to do it in the future." Life, idols can’t be a lifetime, right? I know their transformation is inevitable, because they are all in their thirties when they were girls. Is it possible that the thirtieth generations are still bouncing on the stage? And Sika Acting skills are not as good as Yoona. Singing, although she has the title of the lead singer, but the overall strength is not as good as Taeyeon, what can she turn into, can she turn to variety shows? She has no talent for being funny. The only thing left is to do what she likes It’s a matter, after all, you will put your mind and energy into it if you like it. And the fashion brand she created is also what she likes and is good at. I don’t think there is anything wrong with it.”

Under Zhang Pingan's repeated 'attacks', Li Xiuman put away his kind smile,

Instead, he dealt with it very seriously. Zhang Ping'an is not an entertainer of their company, and he is much more tactful than an entertainer.

Li Xiuman pushed his glasses: "As an artist of the company, Xika's personal management contract is with the company. She created a brand this time without going through..."

Before Li Xiuman finished speaking, Zhang Pingan interrupted him: "Wait, you don't need to get permission to start a brand, right? First of all, she didn't use Jessica's portrait right in her personal brand, nor did she participate in any of the brand's promotions." Commercial activities. She just created a brand, and everything related to the company is taken care of by a dedicated manager. I remember that among the artists in your company, family members open coffee shops, and there are many people who use their portrait rights Well. Did they get company approval?"

Li Xiuman looked at Zhang Ping'an seriously and said, "Ping'an xi, it really doesn't make sense for you to say that."

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "So. We talk about reason, the law, human feelings, and whatever you want. But you can't 'bully the small with the big', right? The company can make reasonable requests, even if the company wants to cooperate with us. It can also be discussed, but if you want to use the company to suppress Sika, then there is no way to talk today."

He didn't know the specific details of Zhang Ping'an's family, but under Zhang Ping's strength, Li Xiuman also put away his aura of wanting to overwhelm others. He nodded towards Zhang Ping'an and said, "Then let's talk about it." Let's talk about cooperation."

"Well, let me first tell you that when I invested in the Sika brand, it was 10 billion won, and I asked for 49% of the shares. Maybe the price was a bit inflated at the beginning, but now our brand has found a regional manager in China. Responsible for the development of the Chinese market. H.K is the first stop, Tokyo, Shanghai, Yanjing, these are all being developed one after another. So... what does your company think now?"

Li Xiuman thought for a while and said: "We can invest five billion here, but we need 30 shares in the brand. Sika can use the name of 'Girls' Generation' to participate in the event."

Zhang Pingan shook his head and said: "Well, I forgot to mention that now there are still 9% of the shares in our brand that can be sold to your company, but your company needs to come up with 'two billion' Korean won in cash. Because Before coming to the company, that is, yesterday, the shares of the brand were divided among other members of Girls' Generation. After all, Sika is a member of Girls' Generation. After the establishment of the brand, if there is an opportunity, I will lead everyone to make money together. Each of them asked for a little share, and now the remaining 9% is divided.”

When Li Xiuman heard Zhang Pingan mentioned that the brand was divided up by Girls' Generation, his eyes widened. Now the brand is no longer Sika alone, it belongs to the entire Girls' Generation!

Li Xiuman's eyes widened and he remained silent, thinking about what to do, Zhang Ping'an continued, "They have already paid a lot to maintain 'Girls' Generation', does the company even want to get a large sum of money from the brand they are cooperating with?" In the past? If this is the case, then the company is too unfeeling. They can't always give for the company, after all, they also have their own lives. This brand is the guarantee for the future of the nine of them. Could it be that the company doesn't even have the final guarantee? Do you want to poach them? If the company really thinks so, then I can persuade them to wait for three years. Anyway, after three years, the contract expires, and the nine of them will reorganize outside. At that time, they will create another brand together That's it, big deal, don't use the name 'Girls' Generation', but even if they don't use it, wouldn't they be Girls' Generation?"

Zhang Ping'an's last words carried a hint of threat. But this threat is really effective. After all, the brand is not owned by Sika alone, but by the entire Girls' Generation. So the pressure should not be borne by them, but by the company. Just like Zhang Pingan said, the contract renewal they completed this time is only three years. If they really went too far this time, what about three years from now?

Li Xiuman frowned and meditated, but Zhang Ping'an immediately said, "Give me a sweet date": "Actually, your company suffered a bit from the cooperation of the brand, but from the beginning to the end, the 'Girls' Generation' was left behind. They are here, so Girls’ Generation is here. If they are gone, what’s the point of keeping the name of Girls’ Generation? I also know that your company has suffered a loss in terms of branding this time, but I can learn from other Make up for the place. My new program can help you promote someone, and at the same time, I can take Girls’ Generation to open up the Huaxia market. Isn’t there a lot of Girls’ Generation who want to transform into actors? And I have invested in TV dramas in China. I can bring their actors to Huaxia, and I don’t charge any ‘intermediary fees’. In addition, I can guarantee that they will be paid at least 100 million won for an episode of TV series, and it’s after tax!! How about it?? "

Zhang Ping'an's 'sweet date' was given to Li Xiuman's heart, because S.M has always wanted to open the Chinese market, but they themselves do not have the ability. The main problem is that they have no one there. Now with Zhang Ping'an's intervention, it can be regarded as an opportunity, so Li Xiuman is more excited.

But Li Xiuman still didn't reveal anything, he just said lightly: "The things you said, we need to think about it before making a decision. Let's just leave it like this for today?"

"Okay, let's leave it at this for now, I hope your company can seriously consider it. Well...if your company agrees to this plan, then I will take them into the Chinese market...within a year, I will let at least Two members of Girls' Generation are filming TV dramas, or movies, and of course variety shows in China. If I fail to do it, I will return the original two billion won, and 9% of the shares will also be given to your company for free " Zhang Ping'an made an extremely tempting "gambling agreement" like a military order for Li Xiuman.

Li Xiuman nodded and said, "Well, we will contact you after we think about it."

"Well, then Mr. Li Xiuman, Xika and I will leave first, and we won't disturb your work."

Zhang Pingan and Sika ended the negotiation within half an hour after entering the office. After coming out of the office, Sika breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you think the company will agree?"

Zhang Pingan nodded with a smile and said, "Of course they will. What they are facing now is not you alone, but the entire Girls' Generation. Even if they want to exert pressure, they must consider clearly what the consequences of this pressure will be. And I even offered him a tempting offer, I believe your company won't be so stupid as to have a complete quarrel with your entire Girls' Generation."
