Chapter 648: Li Xiuman's attitude
In the office, Li Xiu lightly tapped his fingers on the desk in front of him with a tired face, and his already small eyes narrowed into two slits, making it impossible to see what his mood was.
Lately, he's been tired enough -- not physically, but mentally.
The members of TVXQ have a conflict with the company, how can he not be in a hurry? Especially this time, they have a momentum of not giving up until they reach their goal, which makes him even more angry.
In Li Xiuman's concept, all the artists of S.M company are cultivated by the company, and everything about them naturally belongs to the company. Of course, he also understands that the company's management of artists is a bit excessive, but most of the Korean agencies are like this, and in his opinion, the fundamental reason is that after the artists are praised, they become restless, which will lead to all kinds of things.
This time, the three members of TVXQ, Kim Jun-so, Kim Jae-jung and Park Youtian, had a conflict with the company, which provoked the sensitive nerve in his brain.
Li Xiuman's attitude towards artists is not as prevalent as the outside world rumored, but he will never be merciful. He didn't have an idea of how to deal with Kim Jun-so and the others, but it was absolutely impossible to compromise.
"Knock knock......" At this moment, a rhythmic knock sounded on the door.
"Please come in." Li Xiuman's fingers suddenly stopped, gently supported the frame, the fatigue on his face disappeared instantly, and he sat up straight and said.
"Teacher Li Xiuman, hello." Jin Shengyuan walked in, bowed slightly and said to Li Xiuman, Han Shenghao did not follow up. Perhaps because of the unsuccessful debut at the beginning, there is basically no contradiction between Kim Sung-won and Lee so-man, so he has always maintained the honorific title of "teacher" for Lee so-man.
"Shengyuan, why are you here?" Li Xiuman got up and said. Even if it is him, he needs to maintain a respect for Jin Shengyuan at this moment. Although Korean society is superficially based on seniority, in essence, strength is the most respectable thing.
"Come and see Taeyeon." Jin Shengyuan said unscrupulously. "At the same time, there is something I want to discuss with the teacher."
"Sit down." After Li Xiuman invited Kim Sung-won to sit down, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Jin Shengyuan looked at Li Xiuman, although he covered it well, the fatigue on his face was still clearly visible. A little groaning. Kim Sung-won said: "I finally know that you, Weishenme, must let me shoot the MV for them." ”
Li Xiuman was slightly stunned, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and then said: "You have such a good relationship with them, don't you want them to go faster and further?" ”
"Of course." Jin Shengyuan nodded and said, "But some things don't happen overnight. Teacher Li Xiuman is so anxious to make Girls' Generation go further, is it because of TVXQ? "He is also a shareholder of S.M., although he does not have much real power. But he didn't know anything about this matter in advance, and he inevitably had a lot of resentment in his heart.
Li Xiuman's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't understand where Jin Shengyuan knew about this news. You must know that he pressed this news very deeply, and even the media didn't know the slightest, and it was actually known by Jin Shengyuan!
"There really is a reason for that." However, he nodded and said. "Originally, the company's assets have shrunk significantly due to the economic crisis, and now it is not easy to show signs of recovery, if this news breaks out. It is easy to cause panic among investors. Although it was a plain tone, he was explaining the reason to Jin Shengyuan.
"What is the specific reason?" Jin Shengyuan asked.
"There's no specific reason for that. If you are ambitious, it will naturally be like this! There was a hint of anger in Li Xiuman's voice.
"It's not a matter of the company's contract with them, is it?" Jin Shengyuan narrowed his eyes and asked. The "slave contract" in the entertainment industry is no secret, it basically depends on the "conscience" of the company's president, and it is difficult for the law to bind it. After all, the original contract was signed by the artist on his own initiative, and no one forced you. …,
Li Xiuman's expression stiffened slightly, and a trace of obvious anger flashed on his face, and then he said: "The heart of an inch is not satisfied!" The two children, Yun Ho and Chang Min, are very loyal to the company. Naturally, the company will not treat them badly. But there must be no precedent for threatening the company like Kim Jun-so! The original H.O.T. couldn't do it, and neither could they! ”
Jin Shengyuan looked at Li Xiuman, who had a clear attitude, and somewhat understood his thoughts in his heart. Between the company's senior management and its artists, no matter how close they are to the outside world, what is "like family". Actually, it's all! Because of different interests and different angles of looking at problems, there will always be a layer of estrangement between the two sides! When the interests of one party want to expand, the interests of the other party will inevitably be touched, and contradictions will arise as a result. The company's squeezing and so on are all manifestations of this, and there is no one right and who is wrong, only the difference between the weak side and the strong side.
The actions of the three members of TVXQ, from their own point of view, were completely wrong, and they had been wronged and unjust too much. But from the perspective of the company's managers, it is completely unforgivable.
Thinking of this, Jin Shengyuan already understood that he had no room for interference in this matter. With a slight sigh in his heart, Jin Shengyuan suddenly asked, "How much is the company ready to invest in this MV of Girls' Generation?" Also, my salary hasn't been negotiated yet. ”
Li Xiuman was slightly stunned, he didn't adapt to Jin Shengyuan's transformation for a while, and paused for a moment before saying: "A MV, of course, can't invest too much, but it's not too little." Between the words, there seemed to be a flicker.
"Where's my pay?" Jin Shengyuan asked with a smile, and Li Xiuman seemed to be deliberately avoiding the question.
"Shengyuan, you are also a shareholder of the company, and you are filming MVs for Taeyeon and Seo Hyun, do you still need to be paid?" Li Xiuman pushed the frame and said.
Well, Jin Shengyuan has to admit that every successful entrepreneur must have a cheeky face. Lee so-man is actually using Taeyeon and Seo-hyun to play the emotional card with him! I don't think anyone will believe it.
"Then I don't want much, 20 million won, it's always okay, right?" Jin Shengyuan said with a smile.
"Ahem! The company is very strict with the management of its artists, and under normal circumstances, it is not allowed to stay home at night! Li Xiuman did not answer Jin Shengyuan directly, but changed his mouth and said.
It's not that the company can't pay 20 million won, but Kim Sung-won is also a shareholder of the company, and one of the nine people in Girls' Generation was abducted by him, and one is his sister, asking him to help is like some artists appearing in a friend's MV for free. Lee so-man invited Kim Sung-won to shoot a MV for Girls' Generation, and he also had such a mind.
"Teacher Li Xiuman, you are really my teacher!" Kim Sung-won pinched his chin and said, "I'm thinking about whether to cheat her pocket money out of Sunny now." ”
Li Xiuman almost fell headlong on the desk. He originally thought that young people had a good face and paid attention to feelings, but he didn't expect Jin Shengyuan to go further than him.
"Hehe......," Jin Shengyuan smiled, no longer mentioning the salary. 20 million won, he really doesn't care too much. What's more important is that Lee so-man gave him face very much at the beginning, and did not stop him and Taeyeon's affairs, nor did he restrain Taeyeon, although Lee so-man had his own purpose, but for him, this was enough.
When Li Xiuman saw Jin Shengyuan's attitude, a trace of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes, but he didn't expect that he really gave up 20 million won like this!
Thinking of Kim Sung-won's big investment in movies and opening 20 barbecue restaurants in one go, Li Xiuman even had an impulse to ask Kim Sung-won to teach him some tips for doing business.
No way, people can really be angry with people compared to people! I have worked hard for decades, but my net worth may not be comparable to the results of Jin Shengyuan's hard work for several years. …,
Jin Shengyuan chatted with Li Xiuman for a few words and then got up to say goodbye.
……
It took a lot of effort, but Jin Shengyuan only came for less than ten minutes, and he was even distracted when he was watching! This made the Taeyeon Nine quite frustrated.
It's rare to have such an opportunity, they originally wanted to participate in the conception of the MV, hey!
After exchanging ideas about the MV in the practice room, Taeyeon Nine plans to leave it for the next time to tell Kim Sung-won, and then change clothes in the locker room and leave together.
I have to say that the fate between them and Jin Shengyuan is really amazing.
Taeyeon suddenly proposes to take the stairs despite the opposition of so-young, Yoona and others, and Kim Sung-won does not choose to take the elevator. And just like that, the two sides met at the corner of the stairs on the third floor.
Taeyeon's nine looked at Kim Sung-won standing on the stairs with his hands in his pants pockets, and all of them opened their mouths in surprise. Then, so-young and the others all looked at Taeyeon meaningfully.
"Aren't you busy?" Taeyeon asked first.
"yes. I just came out of Mr. Li Xiuman's office. After Jin Shengyuan was surprised, he walked down, stood in front of them and said.
At this time, Sunny suddenly took out his phone and looked at it, blinking, and looking at Kim Sung-won with a strange gaze.
"What's wrong? Sunny。 Suyoung asked.
"Uncle told me, let me be careful not to be deceived by Shengyuan OPPA for pocket money." Sunny said with a confused expression, she couldn't figure out how her normally serious uncle Weishenme would send her such a text message.
Jin Shengyuan almost fell headlong under the stairs. He was just joking casually, and Lee so-man actually sent a text message to Sunny!
"Don't look at me, I don't know what's going on." Jin Shengyuan said with an innocent face, "What are you going to do?" ”
It was only at this time that Yun'a and Yuli's open mouths closed, which is too coincidental, right? They remembered that Taeyeon didn't contact Kim Sung-won when she proposed.
Yuna secretly stepped forward and reached out to pinch Jin Shengyuan's arm to confirm whether it was real. However, he was slightly turned around by Jin Shengyuan and said, "Suspicion is a dream? You won't pinch Xiaoxian! ”
"Brother Shengyuan!" Xu Xian's snort instantly became heavy, his eyes widened, and his mouth bulged into the shape of a bun, almost without rushing over to bite Jin Shengyuan.
Taeyeon slapped Kim Sung-won amusefully and said, "Is there such an irresponsible brother as you?" (To be continued)
