The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 1006
"You've always been a fan of Girls' Generation? It's not appropriate to chase stars at such an age!" Li Menglong didn't know the identity of the other party, and he could talk about everything under the feeling of kindness. The peach blossom eyes on the side and the guards behind him were subconscious. Open your mouth wide.

It may have been many years since no one joked with this old man, so he didn't realize that it was a joke, so he answered seriously: "Who is Girls' Generation? This name sounds familiar, do I know it?"

Li Menglong didn't know how to answer. Sure enough, girls are not omnipotent, and there are many people who don't know them. Then the secretary stepped forward and whispered something in his ear, and the other party suddenly realized: "It turns out that the gang Stars, two years ago, in order to snatch them to come to the navy to perform, several departments of ours had a fight."

What else can Li Menglong say besides smiling?And this kind of thing can't be faked from the other party's mouth. This is how it is in the South Korean army. There is no way.

South Korea is considered among the ranks of developed countries, so the per capita income is not low.Normally similar countries will implement a voluntary service system and use high income to attract young people. It is natural for a larger country to talk about it, and a smaller country does not need so many soldiers, so thousands of people are enough.

However, due to historical problems, the capital of South Korea is only 40 kilometers away from the North Korean border. It is similar to what the old driver said. North Korea dug tunnels here because it is a distance that can be dug.

On the top is North Korea, which may go to war at any time, while the island below has quarrels with Japan several times a year, so South Korea is a place that may go to war at any time, so it needs to maintain a large number of troops, so the national military service system came into being. .

College students usually take a two-year break in their sophomore year to serve in the military. It is a common phenomenon for Korean men not to do military service. After all, even for ordinary people, these are the most youthful two years, let alone those stars, athletes and so on.

Moreover, the welfare of the soldiers is extremely poor, and the monthly subsidy can be ignored directly. There are scandals of abuse of recruits every year, but this system cannot be shaken, so the soldiers can only find benefits in other ways, such as hiring popular girls The group came to the barracks to perform.

This point has even become one of the important criteria for judging whether a girl group is prosperous. Whoever performs in the military camp the most times and on the largest scale during the year can be said with certainty that they are the hottest group of the year.

The girls have occupied this position for many years, but as the girls get older, and the men's natural liking for the new and loathing the old, they may be overwhelmed by young idols in the military camp at any time, after all, youth is invincible.

Li Menglong followed the girls to perform in the barracks, and the fanatical atmosphere was simply terrifying. Thousands of men sang along desperately enough to completely cover the girls singing with microphones, and Li Menglong was taken aback for a while.

But if you think about it, you can understand that 80.00% of the time in the army is spent in training, and what can a group of men who are strangers discuss in their spare time?They are naturally women, so girl groups are their natural bond.

As the saying goes, after staying in the army for three years, a sow can compete with Diaochan, not to mention these celebrities who are as beautiful as Diaochan themselves!
I just chatted with this old man for a while, but I didn't mention any serious matters, so Li Menglong had to ask directly: "What's the matter with you looking for me today? Let's talk about the business first, otherwise I will Not practical either!"

"You're still so impatient. Well, I heard you started an entertainment company, right? I remember you did this before you joined the army. How are you doing now?"

"How is it? It's okay, I can earn some money, and the scale is reasonable. If I have a chance, I will invite you to watch a movie!" Li Menglong joked, while thinking about what the other party wanted to say.

"Then I won't go around the bush. Since you are a big player in this industry, you should have heard about the backsides of these companies, such as some shareholders who never show up!" The man stared at Li Menglong and said.

Li Menglong leaned back and didn't answer the other party's words. Instead, he was thinking about what the other party said. He naturally knew what the other party said. After all, they are one of the relatively large companies in this industry.

To put it simply, the money in the industry is so easy to make. Whether it is releasing an album, making a TV series or a movie, if you follow a certain pattern, it is almost impossible to lose money. It is just a matter of earning more or less. For large companies that can resist risks.

And the current SW can barely join this kind of company. In the future, just looking at the composition of SW, it should be the most profitable department in TV dramas, and variety shows are to maintain the company's reputation. It is good to accumulate experience.

As for the shareholders mentioned by the other party, he also knows that this is also one of the characteristics of South Korea. To paraphrase a common saying, South Korea is Chiqian Wangbaduo, full of big brothers, candidates for each term of the government, various parties, chaebols, local gangsters, Those in the military are all people who may come to buy wool.

And this money from unknown sources can be called political donations in private, and to put it bluntly, it is protection fees. Every large entertainment company has to pay, without exception. something like that.

So this shows the importance of choosing a dock. Don’t give money every year. When something happens, the boss disappears. This is simply digging your own grave.

Sw also has people coming over to deliver messages one after another. Fortunately, because sw's rise is short and its scale is large enough, there are not many forces that can come to them to collect protection fees, and cj is just one of them.

Following his own train of thought, Li Menglong stared at the other party seriously: "What do you mean, the military wants to take a stake in my company?"

"Two questions, it's not the military but our navy; we don't have any money to invest in the shares, we just pay dividends directly!" The old man knocked on the armrest, seeming very dissatisfied with Li Menglong's answer.

"How much do you want?"

"[-]% of net profit every year!"

Li Menglong was a little surprised by this number, not too much but too little. As far as he knows, other large companies usually have to pay a quarter, and even in the year of the general election, this amount will be added temporarily.

Favors cannot be taken lightly, and you must see the huge appreciation potential of SW. This percentage may exceed tens of billions in a few years. This amount of money does not seem to be much for the military, but you must know this money It's gray, and you don't have to take the official account.

Therefore, it is appropriate whether it is swallowed up by the high-level or used for some start-up funds that are not convenient for official activities. The more money the better, and Li Menglong does not want to take advantage of it, so he has to raise the price directly.

He admits that he has a better impression of the military than cj or those politicians, who is not giving the money to, the army can always spend some on meaningful things, but before he can speak, the old man just waved interrupt.

"You don't have such a big face with me, so we have other requirements for less money!" The old man waved to the secretary behind him, and he didn't quite understand the following things.

The secretary was a young man who liked to laugh. He handed the plan in his hand to Li Menglong, and at the same time explained it to the side. Simply put, it was to maintain a positive image of the army and call on more young people to join the army in their prime. Have a plan and act.

And this kind of propaganda can't be so obvious, it has to be implanted in everyone's mind implicitly, so TV dramas, movies and even songs have become the first choice, and if you want to produce these, you must find a reliable production company. At this time, Li Menglong and his sw was selected to come in.

In the end, when it was selected by the military high-level, this company whose president has a long military career became the first choice, especially Li Menglong can also be a director and screenwriter, this is simply a gift, the script he wrote and the filming TV dramas and movies must be more reflective of reality.

So now the matter is completely clear, Li Menglong rubbed his head: "That means you will share the company's [-]% annual bonus, and we will shoot military-themed TV dramas and movies within the next year. The kind that changes everyone’s perception of soldiers?”

"The above are all correct, but there is a supplementary clause. There is a minimum amount of [-]% every year, that is, if the performance is not good this year, you have to make up the money!"

Li Menglong almost scolded people directly. This is more secure than sitting on the ground to collect rent. Drought and flood guarantee the income. No one shoots military subjects. Once Waterloo falls, Li Menglong has to pay for the army out of his own pocket?In other words, you have to shoot something to make money?

"Don't be so sad, you won't suffer!" The old man finally comforted Li Menglong.

"Then what can our company gain?"

"Do you still need to ask? Get protection, and you can make money with peace of mind. Whether it is official or private, we will settle all matters against the company. You have to believe in our strength!"

If Li Menglong didn't believe it, he'd be damned. Since ancient times, which unscrupulous force has opposed the army?Isn't that too long? Generally speaking, although there are many restrictions, Li Menglong does not feel wronged, because this is the reality of South Korea, there is no way.

Seriously recalling the series of conditions just now, Li Menglong stood up and stretched out his hand. This kind of thing does not require any contract, because no one will go back on his word, unless SW finds a thigh thicker than the military.

"Boy, do you still want to shake hands with me? Let's talk about it when you return to the army!" The old man finally smiled.

Even if the matter has been negotiated here, there will be a special person from the military to contact Li Enxi for the specific details, and a group of people came out, while the old man and Li Menglong stayed at the end: "Xiao Liu, who was right back then?" I won’t talk about it unless it’s me, you just need to remember, your credit is recognized by the country, you were once a hero!”
