The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 1919 Sky-high liquidated damages

What happens after the album release?At least the answer that most idols are looking forward to is not to rest. This is completely opposite to what the girls are thinking at the moment. When they were young, they thought the same as most people.

After the release of an album, if it ushers in a break, it is definitely not a compliment, it means that the album is not popular or even a failure. With such a strong competition, there may be no next one. album, next chance.

Even if the company behind him is strong, he is willing to come here to cover the bottom line, but the quiet time is at least in years. A group of people who bet their youth here will delay a whole year of good times. That scene must not lie comfortably That's it.

So getting busy is the most mainstream wish. It is best that the next album is already on the agenda before the promotion of one album is over, and the middle of the two albums is filled with various commercial performances and advertising endorsements. In short, it is good to have a smell of money in the time.

It’s just that those are the thoughts of new people. Girls have already passed that time. Besides, they have actually experienced the so-called death journey. Two or three singles and albums are released a year, and the whole process is mixed with commercials. They don't know how they survived the itinerary of acting, variety shows, etc., and even now they occasionally dream of similar scenes and they will still be awakened.

So they are not empty talkers. As seniors who have experienced these things, it seems reasonable for them to ask for a break. Besides, they can’t make enough money. The right idea, but they find that even earning money while resting seems to be enough.

And at this moment, it seems that Taeyeon's meaning is that the rest is going to be in vain?This is a bit inappropriate: "What else can we do? It won't be another album, right? TV dramas and movies are even more unreliable. What else can we do if we don't take a break?"

It's no wonder that the girls are a little confused. I really can't think of any other jobs for them. From TV series, movies to albums, is it possible to give them a group variety show?Not to mention that this idea is still somewhat possible, after all, sw company's film business is conspicuous enough, but it still can't hide the brilliance of variety shows.

Any company with Liu Zaishi and Director Luo can almost achieve a similar effect, not to mention the professional team behind it, even Li Menglong is included in it, as for the girls, they can only be regarded as artists Resources, imagine a variety show that can be linked to Girls’ Generation at any time, it will be much easier to produce this kind of show.

"Variety show?" Taeyeon frowned after hearing the girls' guesses. Go through the contract and see what the liquidated damages clause is. If they can afford it, they'd better terminate the contract!

The girls are a little scared at this time, why are they going to go over the contract, it is said that when they signed the contract, no one looked at it at all, that is, they just confirmed the proportion of the income, after all, it was drafted by Lee Soon Kyu and Lee Mong Yong , will there be any pitfalls here?Or is it necessary?

"Have you been forgetting one thing? It's been three years since we came to the company, but we haven't held a concert. You all know how profitable the concert will be!" Taeyeon finally threw out a big The bomb directly blew up the girls speechless.

They wanted to justify themselves, but they couldn't get past their own level. After all, although they hadn't discussed this matter with them specifically, they themselves knew that the plan had been in the works. It's almost there.

Singers have always earned much less than actors, and the corresponding comparison is undoubtedly that singers pay more. This is already a default fact, but often top singers can match the income of actors, which is the main reason for raising income. Right at the concert.

It can be said that if every singer can hold a concert, the income of the entire singer circle may surpass that of the actors. After all, to a certain extent, the profits of concerts are pure profits, which actors cannot compare.

Singers first worked as trainees for many years, and then continued to release albums to accumulate popularity, appear in variety shows to promote themselves, and earn income through album sales, commercial performances, and endorsements. In theory, this can be regarded as the entire career of a normal singer.

And once the accumulated fame and number of fans are enough to hold a concert, you will find that the concert is a steady profit business. The scale of 1000 people will earn 1000 people’s money, and the scale of 1 people will earn 1 people’s money. , and something more novel happened in this process. The scale of the initial investment of 1 people does not seem to be much larger than the scale of 1000 people, at least not ten times worse.

So I came to the conclusion that once a singer can hold a concert, the larger the scale and the more the number of concerts, the money earned will increase geometrically, and this is extra income outside of normal work. If I have to compare it to Just like going to work during the day, using your professional skills to make money secretly at night is almost the same, and you may earn more than your salary!

Girls are the top idols and have influence throughout Asia. It can be said that their concerts are almost for money. This is why many big-name singers are keen to hold concerts. They really make money. !

And the opening of the concert can't be said to be too abrupt. Announcing the start of the world tour for no reason always feels a bit straightforward, so the necessary foreshadowing is still needed. The less popular excuse is to use some kind of debut Anniversary, group reorganization, etc., and the most commonly used one is undoubtedly to release an album. By the way, the announcement of this news happens to save the cost of publicity, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

In fact, girls are not opposed to holding concerts, and even they themselves don’t think that they hold concerts for money. If they don’t stand on that stage and face tens of thousands of their fans, they won’t understand that. kind of trembling.

They do not deny that there are economic factors, but at the same time they also enjoy the scene of standing in the center of the stage and breathing with countless fans of their own. Even thinking about it now will make them feel happy. Compared with meeting across the screen, this kind of The scene is undoubtedly the biggest reward for the fans.

"Don't be impulsive, it's a concert, it's not one or two shows in China, maybe it will be a world tour!" Li Shungui had to remind his sisters, don't always think about good things, this little life is gone ?
Like a spell, the girls caught in their imaginations woke up. Only then did they realize that the scale of this concert should not be small. It is conservatively estimated that more than a dozen concerts should be required, and the concert is a physical effort. what.

A normal concert will last for at least three hours. The girls will basically add it to about four hours in order to express their sincerity. If there are so many of them and everyone goes out for a solo period, it will be about an hour at best, that is, It is said that the girls collectively have to hold on for nearly three hours. Thinking about it, their legs are a little weak.

"This is after we first filmed TV series and movies and then released an album. It means that we basically don't have to think about rest this year. To be precise, we should think about how to survive!" Kim Taeyeon as the captain is a gift to the sisters After summarizing the current situation, a group of people ran down in a swarm after a while.

The girls woke up earlier because they were thinking about the forum, so they managed to block Li Menglong who was still sleeping in the room, but Li Menglong who was awakened was strangely calm. It doesn't feel strange.

This appearance of Li Menglong disappointed the girls. Yuner and the others who were bouncing on the bed jumped down very bored. Of course, they did not forget to reprimand Li Menglong, which made him quite speechless: "What do you mean?" I have to cooperate with you, right? It’s a good idea, why don’t you go to sleep when you have this time, dreams may come faster!”

Yoona and the others wanted to refute, but they were stopped by Kim Taeyeon, they came down today to have a serious business: "Ah, you should have a copy of our contract, as our manager, you must be careful." Don't say no!"

"Uh, contract?" Li Menglong repeated. He thought that these people came here because of what happened last night. It seemed a bit different: "Yes, there is, but why do you want that? Sign it all." It’s over, isn’t it too late to look at it now?”

Seeing Li Menglong's confident appearance, the girls became even more angry: "Isn't it because we believed your sweet words at the beginning, otherwise we would have been fooled? Don't say these things are useless, we can spend money to buy a lesson." , What is the liquidated damages in there, just tell us the number!"

Although I don't know what kind of madness this group of people are going through, it doesn't affect Li Menglong's motivation to stimulate them: "This lesson is quite expensive, if I remember correctly, the liquidated damages seem to be worth eleven figures." , a friendly reminder, the number at the beginning is not 1, can you guess the exact number?"

"Ten million..." Taeyeon counted hard with her fingers, and then came up with an incredible number: "Ten billion? It's not 100 billion, why don't you grab it? When did we become so valuable?" ?”

"Hey, from what you said, stealing money is against the law. Besides, stealing money is not as fast as asking you for liquidated damages. As far as I know, some emerging live broadcast companies rely on this to make a fortune!" Li Menglong said here. Bian said with great interest: "Besides, the number was not that big at the time. It was suggested by Ms. Li Shungui, and we respected the other party's opinion carefully. Now it seems that Comrade Li Shungui still has a role to play. Protect everyone, this spirit is worth learning from everyone, applaud!"

It would be too much to describe the applause as sparse. After all, only Li Menglong was watching the excitement here with great interest. Was there a traitor among them?
Li Shungui didn't take the initiative to speak up, but he was betting on whether Li Menglong would forget. It's okay!

But now is not the time to settle accounts with Li Menglong, she now has to face questions from her teammates and sisters, she does not want to bear the name of a traitor, this is quite inconsistent with her usual image of loyalty, this is not her character.

"I didn't know at the time that there would be a day when I would voluntarily terminate the contract. Think about it for yourself, is there any other company that provides the share and restrictions in this contract?" Li Shungui defended himself here: "Since So, should we be worried that the company will take the initiative to terminate our contract? In order to prevent this from happening, I set a super high liquidated damages. What’s the matter? Wrong me!"

The rest of the girls were dumbfounded after Li Shungui's good intentions. After all, it sounds like the same thing. They should really be worried about this kind of contract. At least before this moment, the girls never Have you thought about the termination of the contract, so you wronged Lee Soon Kyu?

It's just that Li Menglong is still sober. As a witness of that day, he combined the vague scene at that time and Li Shungui's words, and seemed to feel that things were not as righteous as Li Shungui said.

At that time, the liquidated damages were set at a very low level. According to Li Menglong, the two parties should not be restrained. In case the girls have some special circumstances, they can jump out flexibly. As for the special circumstances, he never thought about it, just in case. That's all.

Who knew that Li Shungui didn't appreciate it at all. From her point of view, there was nothing wrong with the contract itself, and no company could offer such a favorable contract. As for the company, she is undoubtedly the major shareholder. Will there be any accidents?
In this case, it is natural to set the liquidated damages high. According to her original words at the time, it was too low to reflect our status, so this sky-high liquidated damages just appeared. Visually, it is almost No one will come to dig corners, and they won't be able to dig!
However, when Li Menglong was about to say these words, he saw Li Shungui's warning eyes. Compared with the unsalty threat just now, it is now at the point of bloody hatred. She couldn't survive either.

Considering that he still has a long and happy life to live through, Li Mong-ryong calmed down and watched the girls circling in a circle over there saying these heart-warming words around Lee Soon-gyu. I have to say that this scene seems to be quite beautiful !
