My Entertainment Circle

When they heard Zhang Ping'an's words clearly, not only the representatives of their company were stunned, but even several members of Mamamu also froze in an instant. All of them were stunned on the spot. Except for Zhang Ping'an who still maintained a gentle smile, everyone present looked at him in shock.

After being silent for a few seconds, the representative of their agency came back to his senses and smiled at Zhang Ping'an and said, "PD Zhang, you love to joke too much, don't you?"

Zhang Pingan shook his head and said: "I never joke about these things, how about it? Transfer them to our company, and I will give you a satisfactory price."

"PD Zhang, are you kidding? These children were carefully created by our company. Although our company doesn't have much money, we will never sell their contracts."

"That's it, okay, I get it. Although I can't buy them, but..." Zhang Ping'an deliberately paused here and then said with a smile: "Whether your company can be sold or not, how about I buy your company?" ?”

Their representative looked at Zhang Pingan speechlessly and said, "Buy my company?"

"Well, if you don't sell them, I will have no choice but to buy all of your company. Don't refuse in a hurry, just listen to me and tell me what I think. In this way..." Zhang Pingan took out his own He took out a 50,000 Korean won note from his wallet and gave it to Jin Rongxian: "Rongxian, go buy a few cups of coffee and let's chat slowly. I came here sincerely this time."

Jin Rongxian took the 50,000 yuan handed over by Zhang Pingan. She looked at her representative blankly. After their representatives nodded, Jin Rongxian took the money and went out. Zhang Pingan took all of them to the reception area, and everyone sat on the sofa together. The representative of their company introduced the young man sitting there, who was Mamamu's agent.

In fact, the boss of their company also plays the role of agent. After all, a small company doesn't have that much money to hire employees. Currently, they are the only two men in the entire company who take the children on trips together. No, there are only four debut artists and two of them left in the entire company, and all the previous trainees have been eliminated. They don't have enough money to keep trainees in the company.

Small companies will save as much as they can on all peripheral expenses. Currently, their company does not have other departments besides their group of people. After all, they have trained the children and even spent a lot of money to produce MVs for them, etc. However, the total number of registered members on their official cafe since their debut is only ‘10’.

It is said that among the ten people, four are Wheein's cousins, and one is a relative from Warsaw. This means that there are only five fans who know about them outside, so their company is trying to save unnecessary expenses as much as possible.

Jin Rongxian took Zhang Ping'an's 50,000 won and trotted out of the practice room, heading towards a nearby cafe to buy coffee. In Seoul, the streets and alleys are full of cafes, so you can find them not far away from home. Jin Rongxian was very confused and muttered to himself: "What is this Zhang Ping'an doing here? One moment he said he would buy our brokerage contract, and the next moment he wanted to buy our company?"

Not only Jin Rongxian had such doubts, but all of them sitting in the rest area also had such doubts. Zhang Ping'an suddenly came to visit and said that he wanted to buy "Mama Mu", a girl group with no reputation at all. Is it a bit too unreasonable?

Zhang Ping'an looked around and said, "Let's wait until the captain comes back. Let's discuss it together. I took a look at your company... is it a little difficult financially?"

The representative said: "It's okay. We may not be able to make much money now, but I believe that my children can succeed."

Zhang Pingan smiled and said, "Really? I heard Zheng Xiujing say that the TV station only gave them 200,000 yuan for the OST they sang? In today's market, AOA, Apink, and Hyeri's GSD, these three companies The girl groups are all very good, both in terms of appearance and the resources provided by the company. Oh, and EXID, which suddenly became popular today.

I heard that the commercial performance invitations they received today are all scheduled for next year. The business performances held by various corporate groups at the end of the year are when various groups make money. It seems that there will be no "Mama Mu" in the market at the end of this year. "

Although Zhang Pingan's words seemed to be nitpicking, they were true. The reason idols are busy at the end of the year is not only because there are awards ceremonies held at the end of the year, but more importantly, there are group gatherings held by major companies at the end of the year.

Winning awards is to let them gain more fame and let more people know about their existence. In the final analysis, it is to make more money. The awards at the end of the year are equivalent to a kind of market recognition, and this 'recognition' also provides companies with candidates for renovation of advertising or new product advertising next year.

But now the 'Mama Mu' are not famous at all, and they won't be able to perform commercial performances at the end of the year, let alone any advertisements. The most important thing right now is to open up the market.

Zhang Ping'an continued: "The girl groups in the music industry today... are all relatively beautiful, or Sexy, I don't deny that the 'Mama Mu' members all have good strength. But the strength can really be said today. Can they survive in this market? This needs to be carefully considered. I saw the MV for their title song, and the shooting was pretty good, and they also invited a lot of artists to appear. I guess this album will suffer a lot. Three hundred million, right?”

Their representative nodded and said, "This album really didn't make any money..."

This time, ‘Mamamu’’s debut album invited so many popular artists to appear, so the production cost naturally increased a lot. After all, those who appeared on the scene all had their own agencies, so they would have to spend money to appear on the scene. Originally, they wanted to use the popularity of the people who appeared on the scene to inspire them. Who would have known that the song did not arouse any response after it was released, which made their ambitious production a big loss.

At this time Jin Rongxian came back with coffee, and she gave the remaining money to Zhang Pingan. Zhang Ping'an smiled and said 'thank you' after taking the change.

Holding the coffee, Zhang Pingan took two sips and said: "Although I don't know when you plan to make an album for them next time. But I don't think you can't keep up with the promotion of each album. Does the situation have any effect on them? I think the music industry today uses appearance, publicity, and ability to sort? Do you agree with this? "

What Zhang Pingan said is true. In today's music industry, if you don't have a glamorous appearance that makes fans fall in love with you at first sight, it will be really difficult to continue. AOA, even among agencies many times larger than theirs, failed to gain a firm foothold the first time they debuted. How much wealth does he have, can he do what FNC supports AOA?

Their company is a bit like Sinsadong Tiger's company. Sinsadong Tiger himself has produced many famous songs, so he is considered rich. However, it has been more than two years since their EXID debuted. If it hadn't been for the video uploaded by a black man in the fan circle yesterday, which suddenly attracted EXID's attention, they would probably be not far away from disbanding.

In fact, when they were working as a management company, they already knew that countless groups are produced in the music industry every year, and countless groups disappear as well. If it can't be helped within two years, then the rest of the fate can only be disbanded!

When Zhang Ping'an saw that the representative didn't speak, he continued: "I am very lazy. The first agency I invested in, 'B.H', only had one group of artists, BTS, who were also in Korea. The popularity is not high. However, the recent concerts in Asia have been quite good. Just like what I told Bang Si Hyuk, it doesn’t matter if the kids don’t make money for one year or two, but what I need is to persist with them. Characteristics rather than compromising to the market..”

"I will tell you this today. I personally like 'Mama Mu' very much, so I don't want to see them disappear. It doesn't matter if they don't make money in one year or two years. When they don't make money, I will give them It doesn't matter if the annual salary is 100 million, but I hope that 'Mamamu' should have the characteristics of 'Mamamu'. Sell the company to me, I will invest 3 billion, and I will use 10% of the shares to re-employ. As the company representative, I will not interfere with any company's development plan. As long as you agree to this invitation, I will invest another three billion won as the start-up capital for the establishment of the new company's network department, publicity department, practice room, and studio. It can be completely formed. This is only good for Mom. If you are a good representative, you should seriously consider my suggestions for their dreams. By the way, I don’t have a business card. Please take my phone number. Bar?"

After Zhang Pingan said what he wanted to say, he was about to stand up, but at this moment their representative immediately said: "Don't think about it, I agree to your request. I also know that our company is not worth anything except for children. Three billion won, I am also really working for their dream! Of course, it would be better if I can make money myself. With PD Zhang’s support in the future, I believe they can get more resources!”

"That's right, it would be even better if we can get benefits while they realize their dreams." After saying this, Zhang Pingan looked at the 'Mama Mu' people: "After I invest in your company...what do you have?" Do you have any requirements? I remember that BTS wanted their own studio, so I equipped them with two of the top studios on the market. What are your requirements? ?”

The four of them looked at each other, wondering whether they didn't have a request or didn't dare to make a request.

At this time, Hua Sha raised his hand and said: "Um, PD Zhang...can we change to a better dormitory?"

Zhang Ping'an nodded and said: "Okay, as long as the monthly rent of your dormitory does not exceed 3 million, I know that Girls' Generation's current dormitory rent is only 5 million? By the way, the food expenses for the four of you will be 200,000 per day. "
