Chapter 271: Answering questions from reporters
"I once read a report that out of 10 students in their 10s or 20s, 4 of them had the experience of being trainees, and 6 of them had the heart of dreaming of becoming singers.
However, in 2012, after years of exploration, the Korean local market ushered in a saturation period, and there were 88 men's and women's groups in the media alone. ”
With Lee Hyun-cheol's narration, various materials and reports were switched to the screen behind him, and even the eyes of those idol group members gradually became serious.
"In this case, Imperial Entertainment came into being, and everyone knows that when idol groups are active to a certain extent, they will expand overseas markets and seek to extend their lifespan.
From SM's HOT successfully held its first concert in China at the beginning of the millennium, to BOA and TVXQ going to Japan, to Onder Girls' entry into the United States.
All show that many people have long realized that the domestic market can no longer meet their own needs.
However, the road to overseas is very difficult, and we need an opportunity to avoid fire in our own backyard in the process of entering overseas.
The current music industry seems to me to be very chaotic, large and small groups return from time to time, from the previous hit song to get one place to be considered to be the popularity of the certification, to now taking one does not mean that the group can come out, on the contrary, you have to look at the sound source.
The only way to find a way through the chaos is to join forces, and we must be consistent in the starting point of expanding overseas markets.
Imperial Entertainment is the method I came up with, to be precise, it is not a simple entertainment company, but rather an alliance, an alliance of brokerage companies.
Over the years, I have acquired shares in JYP, YG, M, STARSHIP, Star Empire, Jellyfish, Bighit, Loen, and other brokerage companies, as well as Kakao Talk and Naver.
After returning home, I approached the top management of these companies and offered to invite them to Imperial Entertainment in the form of equity crossing.
In our opinion, Imperial Entertainment is not just born to enter overseas, in the local area, we can cooperate more intuitively, and everyone holds the shares of the other company, do not interfere in the things in the hands of the other party, everyone sits down in the allocation of resources No matter how it is distributed, the final benefits are distributed through Imperial Entertainment, everyone can make money, why not. ”
Some people couldn't help but nod, and some people buried their heads in contemplation, in fact, the people present today have a good relationship with them, and the questions raised by everyone are also very objective, to a large extent, the atmosphere is very relaxed and happy.
The laughter that appears from time to time saves a lot of time and tongue.
At this moment, a reporter's question made the audience's attention mentioned the best, which was a link arranged by both sides a long time ago.
"Lee Hyun Chul, I would like to ask, after the opening of Imperial Entertainment, will it launch a new talent group like other companies, and what is the company's future plan?"
Straight to the point, Lee Hyun-cheol liked this crisp style, smiled politely at the other party, and asked the other party to sit down before starting to answer.
"After all, the entertainment industry is a place to look at qualifications, and I understand this, and this year, all Girls' Generation renewed their contracts, and I transferred their operation rights to Imperial Entertainment.
Pushing a new combination will definitely push, which is inevitable for any new company.
However, we can't rush to success, there are plans for the company's future, I will briefly reveal to you the plan for the second half of the year, and let everyone go back to make a good deal. ”
Li Xianzhe snapped his fingers, and the staff in charge released the PPT file he had made before.
"At present, we have negotiated with the presidents of other companies, in the second half of the year, in addition to the return of Girls' Generation, which is expected by the industry, we will start a tour, and Girls' Generation has been hugely popular all over the world for seven years.
The United States, RB, Huaxia, and the market I locked in is in Huaxia, after our investigation, in addition to T-ARA, Girls' Generation is the most well-known Korean girl group in China, and even Onder Girl, 2NE1 has a lot of fame over there, but many companies choose RB when letting artists enter the overseas market, and ignore Huaxia.
In addition, Imperial Entertainment will launch a talent show for newcomer groups in the second half of the year, and all the mentors have been invited, when will the specific program be recorded, when will it be broadcast, who are the mentors, and the name of the program, we will announce it after the program team is in place. ”
After Lee Hyun-chul, the presidents of several companies took the stage to speak, and the reception lasted for more than an hour before it came to an end.
"That's all for today, enmmmm, is there anything else you'd like to ask?"
The reporters couldn't help but laugh when they were amused by Li Xianzhe's appearance, and they have to say that they have been engaged in this industry for many years.
When other artists were interviewed, they wished they could ask fewer questions, but Lee Hyun-cheol asked them if there was anything else they wanted to ask.
"Lee Hyun-chul ......"
"Speak. ”
Lee Hyun-cheol rested his arms on the podium and looked at the female reporter with his hands on his chin.
"May I ask a question about your private life?"
Li Xianzhe tilted his head, not to mention his reaction, even the other reporters looked at the young female reporter with strange eyes.
Although Lee Hyun-chul's speech style is different from the European and American style of Koreans, it is clear that the other party should not ask such questions.
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm interviewing for the first time today. ”
Being stared at by so many people, the female reporter's face turned red and her hands trembled.
"Don't worry, I'm right here, won't run, relax, take a deep breath. ”
The female reporter followed Li Xianzhe's hands and breathed very rhythmically, and there was a little more gratitude in her eyes when she looked at him.
"Well, it's like this, recently "Iron Man" played Robert Downey Jr. mentioned one of his Korean friends on "The Ellen Show" and uploaded a few photos of him with you via fackbook.
I would like to ask you, what do you think about this?"
The words of the female reporter blew up the scene, Robert Downey Jr., who is a household name among the younger generation in South Korea.
“mo?”
Lee Hyun-cheol actually knew Robert Downey Jr., and many people quietly took out their mobile phones to search.
"This Donnie ......"
Familiar with the cause and effect of the incident, Lee Hyun-chul was a little speechless when he looked at the latest episode of "The Ellen Show" that was called out for broadcast.
At the beginning of the show, after Allen's introduction, Robert Downey Jr. walked out of the backstage with the footsteps of Sao Bao.
The two sides hugged and shook hands and sat down.
"The last time we sat here and chatted was last year, when you and Scarlett were busy promoting Avengers number one, and we both knew that the movie was a lot of success.
So, what makes me very curious is that this time your lover said that you took the initiative to ask to be on "The Ellen Show", why is that?"
