Reboot the heyday

Chapter 2929 The Essence and Purpose of Entertainment Company
"Abba thinks, what kind of members does a group need?"

Goldfish didn't answer Wang Taika's question directly, but asked a question first.

Wang Taika said: "There must be a strong person, who must also be good-looking, face-to-face, lead dancer and lead singer."

Jinyu smiled: "Abba really doesn't care about these things at all. The answer is basically the same as that of ordinary people who don't follow stars."

Duck King has a different opinion: "Albert, have you forgotten that many powerful people can't make their debut, and the reason doesn't match the style of the group? So the most needed members should be members who fit the concept of the style of the group."

Goldfish nodded and said: "President Zhang's answer is correct, and from the perspective of the team, he is already very professional."

Duck King smiled triumphantly at Wang Taika.Wang Taika curled his lips in embarrassment and didn't say anything.

Jinyu continued: "The concept of style is the first, followed by appearance and strength. But there is another very important concept, that is the independent weak."

This is a brand new concept, Wang Taika asked: "How to explain?"

Jinyu said: "Father, just imagine, if the members of a group are all good-looking, strong, with a good attitude, and even compose popular songs by themselves, will such a group company like it?"

"I definitely like it!" Wang Taika said without thinking.

Goldfish shook his head: "Abba, you are wrong. This is the difference between XB Entertainment and other entertainment companies, that is, the starting point of looking at problems is too down-to-earth and not enough capital. It is because of this that capital does not like XB Entertainment."

Wang Taika asked: "Is this combination not good?"

Goldfish looked at Duck King: "President Zhang, which is more important, the combined sales or stock price of entertainment companies?"

Duck King said: "It must be the stock price."

Jinyu nodded and said, "That's it. The core of the stock price is the capital and investors' confidence in a company. If the company's portfolio is strong and creative, the public will only say, 'Ah, this company is really good. The most important thing is that the ancestral grave is smoking, and you can get such an artist'. Because such a person will be popular no matter where they go, so people will only pay attention to this group, and will not think how powerful the company is."

"That's why major companies have the term 'explosion-proof', just to avoid such 'strongman idols'. Because once such strongman idols appear, the impact on team balance is actually only the slightest thing, and the most important thing is that they will affect the value of the company."

Wang Taika felt very novel when he heard this argument, it was an angle he had never thought of before: "Go on, why?"

"Because strong idols are uncontrollable!" Jinyu said, "It's not like there is no precedent for Hanyu. A group member is very strong and versatile. In the end, he directly terminated the contract with the company and got together to plan, write songs, The choreography and music arrangement, the personnel have not changed, the group has changed its name and debuted as a new group."

Wang Taika looked at Duck King: "Is there such a thing?"

Duck King nodded: "Indeed there are. So strong idols, independent weak are antonyms."

"Oh, that's why. I've always wondered about the occurrence of 'explosion-proof'. The members are so popular, isn't it the company that benefits? But I ignored the possibility that the artist cannot be controlled." Wang Taika asked: " How did you come up with this?"

Jinyu smiled and said, "I met GD oppa in YG company, didn't dad know about it too? He is very good, and the songs he wrote are very popular. But I found that YG company suppressed him very much, even a bit too much Repression. Even President Yang was very strict with GD Oppa. I was curious at first, after all, GD is YG’s cash cow. So I thought about this for a long time before I came up with this answer.”

"You are smart." Wang Taika nodded, because what Jinyu said made sense.For a long time, Wang Taika and Duck King have been thinking about this from the perspective of pure profit, and there is really a lack of consideration for deeper things.Unexpectedly, Goldfish thought of these things.

Duck King said: "Now I understand a little bit, no wonder, those big companies think about it carefully, there really are no strong idols."

"It's more than that!" Jinyu continued at this time: "Some companies will even eliminate strong people, deliberately select some weak people to join the group, and finally push out to make their debut. The core purpose of doing all this is actually Let the public have an impression that the success of this group is not due to the strength of the idols, but the power of the companies behind them. Without the packaging of the company, these idols are nothing. The value of the company is highlighted. So investors see With such strong control and creativity, the company will naturally have confidence and investment will come."

Wang Taika also came to his senses: "Yes, there was indeed such a saying in the early years. When a person became popular, the brokerage company always said that it all depends on its own packaging. Without packaging marketing, it is an ordinary person. I was surprised at the time, and there is To tear down the stage for yourself? Now that I think about it, there is such a relationship of interest behind it."

"A running idol, an iron brokerage company. Only such a stable brokerage company can win the favor of capital." Duck King figured it out: "This is where the problem of XB Entertainment arises. The most representative is the second generation of Pandora. But Pandora's second-generation group became popular because of the collision of the styles of these female idols with different styles, rather than song management and other aspects. Even if this combination is changed to another company, it will still be popular. Therefore, the capital is not optimistic. us."

Wang Taika sighed: "Sure enough, the situation hasn't arrived yet. I now understand why XB Entertainment is not favored, but after SM was harassed by me, the stock price is still rising. It seems that Li Xiuman also knows what he can do in the future." Blood back, that's why I compromised with me at the beginning. It's really cunning and cunning."

Jinyu said: "The company hopes that its artists will reach the top, but they don't want to rely on the artist's own strength, but hope to rely on the company's packaging and marketing. So, Dad, have you noticed that the combination concepts launched by the three major companies often They are all relatively abstract. Especially in recent years, SM has been either alien or grotesque. Because such concepts are not grounded, so idols have no right to explain themselves, and can only rely on the company to plan.”

The aliens refer to tea eggs, and their concept of combination is twelve teenagers with superpowers from aliens.

And the grotesque style is Hong Beibei. Hong Beibei didn't become a big hit when he debuted. In fact, he also experienced a period of trough. Time doesn't wait.

Later, SM company continued to make efforts, so that more people accepted Hongbeibei.And after having this kind of experience, Hong Beibei was completely controlled by SM.

In fact, SM's control over its portfolios is different. Let's not mention the disintegration of the tea eggs, just say that they almost lost their place when they were young.If it wasn't for Wang Taika, Stupid Card would not be a member of SM company long ago.

But looking back at Hong Beibei, after SM's operation, fans first accepted Hong Beibei's completely different style, and then they were liked as members.

Even if some people like a member first and then accept the music style, this member has always been shrouded in the conceptual style preset by SM.If this member leaves SM company one day, he will also leave Hong Beibei's style.In this way, there will definitely be fans who feel uncomfortable and change their taste, so they will lose their fans.

The more Wang Taika thought about it, the more frightened he became, because now SM's control over Hong Beibei was ridiculously strong. He couldn't figure it out before, but now he understands that there are so many ways behind it.

"If you want to reflect the power of the company, the easiest way is to empty the concept of the combination! In this way, everyone knows that this is the company's concept, not the members' self-ideas." Duck King said: "And this is not grounded. Only when Qi’s style can be displayed will it reflect the strength of the company.”

Wang Taika asked: "Goldfish, tell me, it's too late for XB Entertainment to produce a new group, how can we show the feeling that capital wants?"

Goldfish smiled and stretched out his hand: "What about the rewards? You have to give sweets if you get [-] points in the test, and you have to be rewarded for your ideas."

Wang Taika said: "You can mention whatever you want, you can do it."

Jinyu pointed to Yuanying: "My younger sister also has the dream of being an idol. If you don't mind, let her join XB Entertainment. If she goes to another company, I'm afraid she will be bullied."

Yuanying wanted to yawn at the side, but she didn't know where to go.At this time, the topic suddenly came to him, and he was a little flustered.

Wang Taika waved his hand: "This is a trivial matter. You can talk about this kind of thing casually, and the reward will be changed."

"Forget it, what kind of reward do you need for giving advice to Dad, I'm joking." Jinyu said, "The method is actually very simple, that is, let the second generation of Pandora sing a song, and the value orientation of a song is not normal. s song."

Duck King was curious: "Tell me in detail."

"For example. The lyrics can be a little humble, which is the humbleness of the relationship between men and women. To put it bluntly, it is a bit anti-feminist style."

Jinyu explained: "Let the most popular female idols with the most different styles and the most unique styles form a team to sing such a song that violates their gender position. This is not to show everyone , The female artists under XB Entertainment are all under the command, command, and control. They have to do what they are asked to do. Even singing songs like this, they have to be obedient. How strong is this kind of control? Do you like XB Entertainment?"

Damn it, Wang Taika was shocked.

To be honest, the goldfish's trick is really wicked, and the damage is endless.But it really goes straight to the core of the problem and directly solves the difficulty.

At this time, the goldfish stuck out its tongue, looking harmless to humans and animals.

It is true that Jinyu has changed for the better, but this does not mean that she will become a doormat.A belly full of bad water is just suppressed in her heart, waiting for a predestined person who will offend her.

Wang Taika even wanted to applaud the goldfish: "It's amazing, you can think of this."

Jinyu said with a smile: "Abba, do you know what my current combination position is?"

Wang Taika really knew this: "It's still ACE, right? I remember that."

"Yes. But it was Jenny who made the decision at the beginning, not me." Jinyu said with a smile: "In matters such as debut, Abba's influence can't give me much help. And Jenny has some strengths. It is indeed much better than me. But why me in the end?"

"This is not something I snatched, but the company's own decision. The biggest reason is that I am mediocre except for my appearance. Dancing is not as good as Lisa Unnie, singing is not as good as Caiying Unni, rap is not as good as Jenny, and my overall strength It’s not as good as Zhixiu O’Neil. In every assessment, he basically ranks third or fourth. Therefore, after a person like me makes his debut, he can’t leave YG. But it’s not necessarily the case for others. Therefore, it’s safest for ACE to choose me .”

Duck King asked strangely: "I've watched your training before, and it's pretty good. Is your combination too strong, or are you slack, and every time you are three or four?"

Wang Taika smiled and said, "Goldfish, I think you are hiding your clumsiness on purpose?"

Jinyu smiled and pursed his lips: "A little bit. But what I said just now is also true. I am indeed not as good as O'Neills in some aspects, but it is not necessarily the bottom of all subjects. It's just that I figured out these things later. I know that because of my father, I will not be eliminated. So every time the assessment is deliberately poor, I want to make a debut, and I am grateful to the company. After a long time, the ACE will become me."

Wang Taika knows a little about psychology, but psychology is not scheming, so I'm really not sure about these things.At this moment, I couldn't laugh or cry: "You are smarter than me, I really am not made for this job."

"It's not that Dad didn't think about it, but he was too lazy to think about it. Because XB entertainment is not the real core interest for Dad, so he didn't take it to heart. A person who has been in Korea for so long and still has little knowledge of the Korean entertainment industry, either You're a fool, or you just dismiss it. Abba must be the latter. If you don't like it, you won't study it."

"But I'm different. This is my way to change my future. I have to figure it out."

What Jinyu said gave Wang Taika enough face and also told the truth. When did Wang Taika care about the management of XB Entertainment?It is said that coming here is to delay people, but it is actually true.The core interests of Wang Taika are domestic companies, and those in South Korea are abandoned when necessary.

In addition, how careful is the goldfish's mind?He knew that Wang Taika didn't like Jenny, so when he called other people just now, he always called him O'Neill, and only called Jenny by his first name.

Of course, it is still necessary to speak respectfully in person, but not in front of Wang Taika.Just to make Wang Taika not have the slightest discomfort.

Wang Taika said: "Very well, this time you have done a great job. You go and take your sister to visit the company first. Besides. I'll think about it again, let's go first."

Goldfish knew what Wang Taika was hesitating to say, but he didn't know what to reward.Wang Taika's character is like this, revenge must be revenged, but credit must also be rewarded, otherwise there will be a sense of indebtedness.So Jinyu is not hypocritical, and pulls Yuanying away happily.

After walking outside, Yuanying dared to ask: "Oni, just said those words directly, is it really okay?"

Jinyu smiled: "I'll teach you a truth today, no matter what you say or do to other people, you should be careful. But for the one just now, it's best not to have too many reservations, be honest It's the best. Because the style of the guy just now is that you don't care about what you say, you can be a bad guy, but you can't be an enemy."

"Oh." Yuanying wrote down these words.It's just that at the same time, my little thoughts are also skyrocketing. If I have a relationship with the one just now, then I don't have all the things my sister has now. Do I have it?
Goldfish asked: "What are you thinking?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I'm trying to remember Ernie's words." Yuanying smiled.

How can such a small mind deceive Goldfish, but she sees it through and doesn't tell it.In fact, Jinyu has no feelings for this younger sister.I just thought that if Yuanying made her debut in XB Entertainment, then she would have more influence on Wang Taika, this is the most important thing.

As for Yuanying's careful thinking, Jinyu didn't care.After all, they are not in the same rank.

Oh, my stupid sister, do you really think you can take my things?
Innocent!
