I am not an artist when I am reborn

Chapter 269

Chapter 32Kim Young-min
August [-]th is a day worthy of being remembered by the entire trot music industry.

On August 2016, 8, the trot music world welcomed the debut of Big Devil.

Lin Yingxiong, who joined SM as early as the year before last and started practicing trot music style, officially debuted as a trot singer on August [-]th under the arrangement of New Cube.

This is the first operation of the new cube since its establishment. It is not what anyone guessed, and it is not even the idol that Su Jinxing is best at, but the trot folk field that he has never touched.

Many people sneered at Su Jinxing's move.

It is nonsense for an idol company to engage in trot, and it is even more ridiculous that an idol company run by a foreigner engages in trot.

This is as outrageous as Brother Hei wearing Hanfu and singing "Descendants of the Dragon".

Not many people are optimistic about Su Jinxing's placement in the new cube, including many people under the Su faction.

Even though they have full confidence in Su Jinxing, the gap is still too big. The difference between idol singers and trot singers is almost as big as across industries.

Under such circumstances, naturally not many people are optimistic about Lin Yingxiong's debut.

But regardless of what the outside world thinks, Lin Yingxiong made his debut in the new Cube.

In today's cube, Lin Yingxiong is the only one.

The original Cube portfolio was all sold off by the previous management to pay off debts. After the entire company was acquired by Sunny Capital, it can be said to be an empty shell.

The only thing that has any value is the original staff.

It is well known in the Korean entertainment industry that Cube is a company that is shit in every aspect from top to bottom, but there is only one department, or in other words, a type of employee that is at the top level in the Korean entertainment industry.

Makeup artist.

To be more precise, makeup artist's eye makeup.

For fun and for fun, makeup artists like Cube are all top-notch experts at applying eye makeup.

This is also one of the most valuable aspects of cube for Su Jinxing.

The devil of trot has just debuted, but the overlord of the idol world has returned.

After achieving certain achievements in Europe and the United States, EXO returned to South Korea under the recruitment of Su Jinxing and announced their return with the fourth regular album.

This news instantly overwhelmed the news of Lin Yingxiong’s debut in the new cube.

It has been a year since EXO left Europe and the United States. They have achieved "huge" achievements in Europe and the United States, and set off an EXO craze in China.

Even the domestic media in South Korea once added the title of the world's number one boy band to their reports.

Now, EXO, who left Europe and the United States, announced their return to China with their fourth album, which also means that the king of Kpop music has returned.

There is no doubt about EXO's dominance. Even though it is an incomplete group that has experienced members quitting the group, its excellent management has actually become a boost for it to reach a higher level.

After achieving certain results in Europe and the United States, they retreated and recalled EXO. Although the Internet said that EXO could achieve better results by continuing to stay in Europe and the United States, Su Jinxing knew that this was already close to the upper limit of results, and there was no need to continue.

Under such circumstances, if you quit quickly, both fans and others will have the idea that "if EXO does not come back, the results will be better." With the promotion of this idea, EXO's results will only be infinitely deified, and their status will become even more of stability.

After all, as we all know, the strongest players are those who don’t play.

After Su Jinxing recalled EXO to South Korea to return with the regular fourth album, they completed the charts without any surprises.

No. [-] on the music source list. All major platforms took the first place the moment the sound source was released. The crushing was all-round. No one group could touch it, and they were all left behind.

The loser eats dust!
After EXO's return, GFriend returned with their fifth mini-album "Song of the Wind".

The production team did not originally plan to position "Song of the Wind" as the title song. The title song was originally "Summer Rain", but this was the plan when GFriend's 2016 comeback plan was formulated last year.

After Su Jinxing issued an order for GFriend to return at least four times this year, the GFriend production team could not come up with too many suitable songs in a short period of time, so they separated "Song of the Wind" from the original album "Summer Rain". Take it out and put it together with the other three included songs to create the current fifth mini-album.

The quality of "Song of the Wind" can fully support the title of the mini-album, but the rhythm of this song is not suitable as the main song, which is why "Song of the Wind" has not been used as the title song before.

But now, the death order given by Su Jinxing cannot be changed, and "Song of the Wind" can only bite the bullet.

But judging from the market response, the effect is very good.

After that, the GFriend office also started the production of the group show.

It’s been more than half a year since their debut, and the team’s variety show is about to enter the preparation stage.

This return, instead of preparing a group show for GFriend, they participated in an event that is quite famous in Korea - the Idol Games.

This sports event organized by MBC TV station has been held for many times since 2010. This year it is already the 12th and the 15th will be held in September.

Originally, this spot was intended for Red Velvet. Although Red Velvet participated in the [-]th Idol Games, today is different from the past. The current Red Velvet and the Red Velvet who was beaten by GFriend on the head are completely two groups.

But Red Velvet’s schedule in Tuanzhong is not enough, and F(x)’s members are not all there, so only GFriend and EXO are left. You can’t let EXO go, right?

EXO is already the "No. [-] Boy Group in the World" and "The No. [-] Group in Kpop History" in the Korean media's words, so it would be a bit of a loss to join this group.

This resource bar is very good, but it is wasted if it is not used, and it finally falls on GFriend.

Interestingly, BTS and TWICE also participated in the No. 12 Idol Games.

It is true that Enjiai Road is narrow.

With Min Xizhen watching, and the people in charge of each major group office having outstanding abilities, Su Jinxing didn't need to worry too much about the next thing, as everything was proceeding step by step.

However, September came.

A piece of news suddenly spread rapidly from the Chinese Internet and spread throughout the entire online world with lightning speed.

The ban on entry in September was not expressly stipulated, but everyone knew that it was only a retreat on the surface, and it was not said to be so final, but in fact it was already the beginning and could not be changed.

Very, very few people knew about this news in advance. It caught many entertainment companies off guard, and they all suffered some losses.

And more people want to know what the SM person is thinking at this moment.

What does Su think?
Su had no idea.

At this moment, Su met an old friend at the "Sushi Sennin" shop in Tokyo.

"Thank you." He thanked the little old man who was called the "Sushi Immortal" by the Japanese media. He looked at the sushi on the plate and was not in a hurry to enjoy it. Instead, he turned to look at the man sitting next to him, who was feasting. middle-aged man.

"How have you been during this time?" Su Jinxing asked with a smile.

"What can I do?" Jin Yingmin chewed the food and said casually, "Thanks to you, I was sent here, and now I have to help you with things. I'm so mean."

Su Jinxing laughed.

"Business struggle means you use me and I use you. We don't have any conflicts at all. It's just that our different positions determine that what we do needs to be confrontational."

"Why are you talking so much? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you win, you are right."

"I just don't want unnecessary misunderstandings between us." Su Jinxing said with a smile, not caring about Jin Yingmin's attitude.

"I don't have any objections to you." Jin Yingmin shook his head and said, "You are very young and very capable. I am convinced to lose to you. After all, the changes you have brought to the company are visible to the naked eye."

"It's just that there's no need to mention the big pie you drew for me. This time I'm going to help you just because you give me the money and I'll do the work."

Su Jinxing smiled, but didn't mention what he just said.

Su Jinxing promised Jin Yingmin that he would come back when he takes charge of SM.

But Jin Yingmin thought he was just trying to draw a picture and didn't pay attention.He didn't mention it anymore. No matter how much he said, it was not as good as actual actions.

"If it works this time, your pension will not be reduced at all." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

The benefits he gave were jokingly called his pension by Jin Yingmin, so Su Jinxing followed his words.

"I really don't know what you are thinking." Jin Yingmin shook his head and said, "If you buy three Japanese idols who have just debuted for 100 million, can you make money back?"

"To be precise, one. I'm not very interested in Nako Yabuki and Hitomi Honda."

"DH packs it and forces it on you, isn't it still three?"

"It's true to say so."

"Then it comes back again. Can we get back to where we started?"

"Then please wait and see." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

The benefits Su Jinxing paid to Jin Yingmin amounted to 100 million U.S. dollars.

This does not include the purchase of Miyawaki Sakura, Honda Hitomi, and Yabuki Nako, but only the "pension" given to Kim Young-min, the middleman who was very helpful.

Anyway, in Jin Yingmin's view, Su Jinxing's behavior is simply a typical example of people who are stupid and have too much money.

Su Jinxing only wanted Miyawaki Sakura at first, but DH refused to let him go, and then he found Jin Yingmin, the former president who was sent to Japan.

Jin Yingmin still had energy and persuaded DH, but DH made a rogue condition.

If you want Miyawaki Sakura, you can.But they have to select a few more from the list given by their company and package them together, so that they are willing to sell Miyawaki Sakura.

This is what Su Jinxing meant to ask Miyawaki Sakura.

Then, he saw these two remembered IZONE members on the list.

Three to take away.

How to put it, it's not a loss.

Although the initial investment does seem to be a bit too much, as long as IZONE's plan can proceed normally, the problem is not big.

Besides, with EXO as a cash cow, the most important thing Su Jinxing has now is cash.

Originally he thought miHoYo would be his biggest source of cash flow, but after EXO returned to China, Su Jinxing discovered that he was wrong.

This thing is really good at attracting money. After dividing it with SM and EXO members, you can still have such a huge amount of money.

The gold content of Shi Yi combination!

"What's the situation in China?" Kim Young-min changed the subject and asked about an issue that Korean entertainment has been most concerned about recently.

"Literally." Su Jinxing picked up the sushi and tasted it.

"It seems that this lady is not far from stepping down." Kim Young-min said with a smile.

"Hey, don't talk about state affairs." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

Jin Yingmin rolled his eyes.

"when are you leaving?"

"Let's go in the afternoon, the company still needs to make some preparations."

"What's going on with you and Lee Soo Man now? Why haven't you made any move? I'm still waiting to laugh at the loser." Kim Young Min asked.

Su Jinxing looked at Jin Yingmin who looked expectant with strange eyes.

"what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? I've been kicked and you're not allowed to have fun?"

walk slowly.

reasonable.

"Which one of us do you think will win?" Su Jinxing asked with a smile.

"You wish you both died together." Jin Yingmin said straightforwardly.

Su Jinxing: "..."

He smiled helplessly: "There's no need to be so cruel, right?"

Jin Yingmin glanced at him and chuckled.

"Actually, if I have to say it, I still want you to win. Lee Soo Man is getting old, and his mind is all about making money. When faced with all forces, his first reaction is to take the opportunity to make money. He can't defend himself. It’s hard for SM to stand it now, let alone develop it.”

"But you are different, you are courageous enough." Jin Yingmin looked at Su Jinxing, "For a Chinese to achieve this in our country, I have to say that you are really powerful."

"If we have to fight to the death, you are the future of SM."

"I would be embarrassed to praise you like that." Su Jinxing said with a smile.

"Hmph." Jin Yingmin smiled disdainfully, "Although I don't know why you two didn't make any move, I guess that at the latest next year, you two will definitely decide the winner."

"What should I say?" Su Jinxing asked, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

"You should know why." Jin Yingmin looked at Su Jinxing. He didn't believe that Su Jinxing didn't know about the lady being investigated.

Li Xiuman may not know, because he is a member of the system. If he knows, it means that most people in the system know that something big will happen.

But Su Jinxing is different. He is from the chaebol faction. It is very likely that people from the chaebol faction joined forces with people from other forces at the Blue House to promote this matter. Su Jinxing must know about this.

"It seems that you didn't forget to pay attention to your hometown when you were in Tokyo." Su Jinxing said with a hint.

He was not surprised that Jin Yingmin knew this. After all, his surname was Jin, from Jin Daezhong.

"It's okay." Jin Yingmin smiled, "We'll see who of you can win next year."

"That must be me." Su Jinxing said confidently.

"You're still the same, always winning. It's really annoying." Jin Yingmin clicked his tongue.

He took a sip of sake and stood up from his seat.

"Okay, Director Su, that's it for today."

Su Jinxing also stood up and looked face to face with the former president of SM Corporation.

"I hope that next time we meet, you can let that old guy Li Xiuman come to keep me company." Jin Yingmin said with a smile.

"No, I still need you to go back to the company to help me manage the new SM." Su Jinxing looked at Jin Yingmin and said.

Jin Yingmin laughed.

"Then I'm looking forward to it." He waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

"Goodbye."

Su Jinxing watched Jin Yingmin leave with a faint smile on his face.
