My Entertainment Circle

Chapter 1049 Pani will not renew his contract

The wine was served, along with the accompanying edamame for the three of them as a pre-dinner side dish to accompany the wine. Cut Dassai into 2 and 3 parts, and the fruity aroma lingers in your mouth. Today, even Taeyeon had a porcelain wine cup in front of her. What Pani said in front of her made Taeyeon a little surprised. Originally, Taeyeon always thought that Pani would not leave the company, but today she made the final decision not to renew her contract!

After ten years of 'Girls' Generation', this can be regarded as a complete separation. Sika has begun to move towards her own sideline business, which can be regarded as a fashion business circle. She may occasionally appear on TV in the future. However, she is no longer signing with any agency, this is Sika's original words. Sooyoung, the maknae, has also decided to switch to a television agency after her contract expires.

After all, S.M is very powerful in the music industry, but his connections in film and television are slightly worse. Maybe it’s because there are no top actors within the company, right? Although in the early years, S.M produced some TV series by itself and let the company's idols star in them, the income was still lower than that of professional actors. In addition, there is a problem in choosing the script itself. Moreover, the tastes of modern audiences are becoming more and more sophisticated. The era of using idols to stimulate ratings has long passed in Korea.

However, the traffic era has just emerged in China. At present, China's traffic people are getting more and more excited, and they even ask for tens of millions in salary? However, after a few years of film and television works being washed away by traffic, any traffic will eventually return to its essence, which is the story itself! A good script and good actors are the only way to make a good drama and be loved by people.

TV dramas can have some "shows" as foils, but the "drama" needs to be performed by someone who takes the lead, so that the audience will stay in front of the TV or be willing to pay to watch it. Of course, this will take time to go over. At this time, the Chinese entertainment market has just tasted the sweetness brought by traffic. This is an era where ‘quality’ is not as good as ‘traffic’.

But South Korea is different. They have already passed the traffic era. As for Japan, they have been influenced by more powerful ‘film and television works’. Moreover, beauties have always appeared in the film and television industry, and new ones emerge in large numbers every year. And like all actors, they also play different professions in different works.

When Taeyeon listened to Pani saying that she was planning to leave, the two of them started drinking. Because Taeyeon will not persuade Pani to stay in the current company. After all, Pani may have his own plans for his future career, or does Zhang Pingan have arrangements?

Taeyeon raised her glass and had another drink with Pani. Then she turned to look at Zhang Pingan: "Is Pani going to transfer to your company?"

Before Zhang Pingan could answer, Pani next to him immediately said: "He thinks I'm troublesome, so he doesn't plan to sign me. Taeyeon, you didn't expect Zhang Pingan to be such a person, right?"

Zhang Ping'an listened to Pani's complaint,

He immediately defended: "How can I trouble you? You can't say nonsense. This is simply slandering my character."

If she didn't defend herself, wouldn't it make Taeyeon feel that she was a ruthless person? Of course, Taeyeon knew in her heart that Pani's words to Zhang Ping'an contained a strong element of exaggeration. Taeyeon just looked at the two of them with a gentle smile, and Pani was like a machine gun, saying what Zhang Pingan said to her in the afternoon. Taeyeon was scratching her head when she heard this.

Because Zhang Ping'an's ability in song creation is really good, but he rarely writes songs, perhaps because he finds it troublesome as he has said for a long time. So so far, only she and Li Zhien have received the songs written by Zhang Pingan, and he has never even asked about the artists under his company because it is troublesome.

Hasn’t he always said, ‘Whatever they develop in the future is their business. The company just needs to do its best. ’ From the perspective of outsiders, Zhang Pingan’s money-making projects have never been about artists. Because whether their company invests in movies, TV shows or variety shows, these are where the company makes the most money. As for the artists under his banner, it would be better if they could make money. If they couldn't, just like what he said to Fang Shihe at the beginning, it didn't matter.

However, Zhang Pingan knew very well that according to their development trajectory, it would be strange not to make money. He just supported them when they were not making money, and he never blamed them for not making money. Therefore, they will remember Zhang Pingan's kindness in their hearts. At least when renewing their contracts in the future, they will first consider staying in the company. On the one hand, it is kindness, and on the other hand, it is Zhang Pingan's attitude towards them all the time.

While Pani was accusing Zhang Ping'an of his 'sin', the dishes they ordered were served one after another. The three of them were eating and chatting.

Zhang Pingan said at this time: "Every solo singer has a very good grasp of lyricism. And the creators on the market who can write good lyrical songs are either contracted songwriters from other companies, or they have already founded Their own company. Even if they are freelance songwriters, most of them have some very close singers. As long as Taeyeon stays in the company, I don’t think Lee Soo Man can acquire good lyrical songs for Taeyeon. Taeyeon’s future albums need lyrical songs, and I can still produce them. As for fast-paced dance music, Yoo Young-jin’s ability is very good.”

Pani continued what Zhang Pingan said: "It means that you have to take care of Taeyeon in the future, so I can't take care of it? What about Li Zhien?"

Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "Ji Eun? Her creative ability is very good now. She can already satisfy herself with her own creation and production. This time, I didn't provide her with a single song for her album. Didn't she release her album today? My name is not on the list of creators, right? It has achieved great results."

Taeyeon is just a little bit behind in creation. It can be said that Taeyeon is a very pure and powerful singer. But she is not a creator, so if she wants to release an album, she must receive good songs outside. She stayed in the company and wanted to release an album. The only way is to "wait", wait for good songs!

Although Yu Yongzhen is a very powerful songwriter, he has always been mainly creating group songs. So Yu Yongzhen is really not as good as JYP in terms of "lyrics"!

When Zhang Pingan talked about Li Zhien's album released today, Taeyeon said: "Li Zhien's album this time has completely dominated the charts."

The so-called "completely dominated the charts" here refers to all the songs in Li Zhien's album. If there are ten songs in total, then the top ten songs in all the music download charts in South Korea are all songs from Li Zhien's album. Taeyeon's first regular album released not long ago did not "completely dominate the charts", but some good songs dominated the charts.

Among solo singers, the only Korean singer who can completely dominate the charts is Lee Ji-eun!! Although Taeyeon's sales performance is also very impressive among solo singers, it is slightly different from Lee Ji-eun.

Now fans have begun to describe "Taeyeon and Lee Ji-eun" as the two top solo singers in the Korean music industry. The results are there, and there is no way to question it. The two of them also have their own characteristics in singing, and it is really hard to say who is better and who is worse.

When listening to Lee Ji-eun completely dominating the charts, Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "Isn't this normal? She has always achieved high scores as long as she releases music sources. In fact, Lee Ji-eun was quite confused for a while."

Zhang Pingan also told Taeyeon and Tiffany about the bottleneck that Lee Ji-eun encountered. On the other hand, Taeyeon will not have such a bottleneck, because she has tried various styles of music modes in Girls' Generation, so Taeyeon has no bottleneck in style. If I have to say, Taeyeon's biggest bottleneck is that she can't create.

Taeyeon smiled and said: "Everyone will experience their own bottleneck period, right? And I don't know when my bottleneck will appear?"

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "It's okay, don't you still have me? Actually... if I say work and other things, sometimes you can let go a little. Really, I think you should also learn from 'Senior Lee Hyo-ri'."

Taeyeon smiled and said: "By the way, haven't you been in contact with Senior Lee Hyo-ri more recently? What do you think of her?"

Zhang Pingan smiled and responded: "In my eyes, Lee Hyo-ri is actually a very simple person. Her so-called 'strength' is all pretended in front of the camera. In fact, she is very timid. Just like Tiffany's good friend, Jessie. On the surface, she is extremely strong... and she is quite a girl in her heart."

Speaking of 'Jessie', Tiffany nodded with emotion: "Yes, Jesse's strength in front of the camera is all fake, and he is a very gentle person in private. "

Taeyeon turned to look at Tiffany: "What about you? If you don't renew your contract, and Zhang Pingan is unwilling to sign you, what are your plans? Have you contacted other companies?" Tiffany shrugged in an American way and said, "No, let's talk about it after the tenth anniversary. After the news that I will not renew my contract is reported, I believe there will be companies coming to me. Zhang Pingan suggested that I sign with an American agency because the management of companies there is more free than in Korea." Taeyeon picked up a piece of her pork chop, dipped it in the sauce, and put it on Zhang Pingan's plate. Then she said to Tiffany: "In fact, even if we sign with a Korean agency now, we are still very free." Tiffany smiled and said, "Unless there is no signing fee, any company wants to make back the money from the signing fee from us. On the other hand, the United States may not give too much signing fee, but it will not interfere too much with our work." Taeyeon turned to look at Zhang Pingan and said, "Oppa, what about your Chinese agency?"
