I am not an artist when I am reborn

Chapter 359 Protection Fee

Chapter 69 Protection Fees
After entering December, major award ceremonies have begun to start one after another, and the returning groups this year have also been invited to attend.

In fact, being invited to participate in the award ceremony is also a threshold in itself.

Fans call themselves a sticky group. They have activities, make money by signing autographs, and can attend award ceremonies.

As for a real band, apart from commercial performances, it is also a commercial performance. If a fan buys an album, he can participate in the face-to-face signing and find that there are no other people around him.I didn’t even watch the award ceremony.

The real confusion is that there is no such person.

A group that can be invited to participate in the award ceremony, even if it is just to watch, cannot be regarded as a group.

A real futuan is no different after debuting, and may even be worse than a trainee from a big company.

In particular, SM has produced Sakura, an outlier. She has three fan sites and 50 followers on Instagram even before her debut.

This year's award ceremony is another harvest year for SM. Although GFriend only made one comeback, one effective comeback is better than countless ineffective comebacks.

"TT" has been occupying the No. [-] position since its release. No. [-] on the annual list, it was no surprise that it won the best album of the year.

As long as GFriend attends the award ceremony, the Best Album Award, Best Female Group of the Year and Popularity Award have not changed.

GFriend's lead is an all-round, fractured lead. It is the first from every angle, and it truly achieves indiscriminate suppression.

In this era when second-generation girl groups are gradually disappearing, GFriend has taken over the top power of girl groups from Girls' Generation, suppressing other girl groups in all aspects, and there is quite a pattern of one super girl group with many strong ones.

Last year, they were still among the four major girl groups along with Red Velvet, MAMAMOO, and BLACKPINK. However, this year, GFriend has become the undoubted "one super", and the multi-strong pattern has added a lot.

For example, Cosmic Girls, ioi, etc. are quite popular recently.

Just highlight a GFriend and let a hundred flowers bloom.

It is SM's girl group that crushes the current generation. This attitude is hard not to remind people of Girls' Generation.

As GFriend swept the girl groups at the year-end awards ceremony, more and more media believe that GFriend will become another phenomenal national girl group after Girls' Generation.

Although this statement is not very recognized by sone, in fact this concept has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

According to the survey, GFriend's current popularity increases infinitely with age.

People in their [-]s and [-]s think Girls' Generation is more popular, but most people know that GFriend is very popular.

Young people in their twenties think Girls' Generation is more popular, but Girls' Generation has fallen out of favor. If it's really about popularity, it has to be GFriend.

Children from Judai have no idea what Girls’ Generation is. When mentioning the representative of a girl group, the first thing they think of is GFriend.

It can be seen from the results of this survey that GFriend's nationality is gradually deepening.

Girls' Generation has indeed begun to fade away. In a country like South Korea, where the entertainment industry is highly developed, it is unrealistic to expect people to remember you if you don't come back for a long time, even if you are Girls' Generation.

(The current teenage children in South Korea have never heard of Girls’ Generation, and even the third and fourth generations have begun to become less famous.)
Everyone can see that SM is already preparing for GFriend to reach the summit. When to reach the summit next depends on SM’s wishes.

Three top groups have appeared in succession, Girls' Generation, EXO, and GFriend. SM Entertainment, which is already the leader in the industry, will reach a higher level. The cake in this circle is only so big. The stronger SM Entertainment means their survival. The less space there is.

Many entertainment companies are worried.

Most of the member companies of the Korean Occasion Club are optimistic.

The stronger SM Entertainment is, the stronger the Korean Illusion Club is. SM Entertainment is one of the pillars of the Korean Illusion Club. The stronger it is, the more resources the Korean Illusion Club will have.

The weaker the company in the Korean Opup Club, the happier it is.

There is a big brother in the meeting, and a little bit of resources leaked from the fingers are enough to develop a small company like theirs. If they follow the big brother, they will eat ten meals in three days!
The film and television industry is also a little uneasy. Sunny Pictures has taken too many actions. This company is different from its predecessor KEYEAST. It has money!
Qingtian Capital is well-known in the Korean venture capital industry for its abundant funds, and when it comes to the film and television industry, it is even more of a dimensionality reduction blow.

Qingtian Pictures, funded by Qingtian Capital, focuses on a film that can catch both rain and dew.

For many film and television works, if it likes it, no matter whether it is short of money or not, it will spend money and resources to let you take it with you.

Attentive viewers have begun to discover that since last year, recent film and television works have a producer called Sunny Pictures in the final credits.

One and two movies can be explained by coincidence, but each one of them has it. Is this too much of a loss?

Sunny Pictures had been on the hot search for this matter before. Although it was not ranked high, there were actually quite a few viewers who knew about it.

Hotspots that can be searched have a very large number of followers.

This series of money-spending moves by Sunny Pictures made film and television companies gradually realize that something was wrong.

At first I thought it was a stupid guy with a lot of money, but now I realize something is not right. This guy has its own film and television distribution system. Why doesn't it publish its own works but keeps compromising others?
The industry is a bit confused now, and idol entertainment companies have already taken action.

It is a foregone conclusion that SM will be the only company to dominate, unless it seeks its own death.No matter how powerful a battleship is, if something goes wrong internally, it will surely perish.

The possibility of breaking into SM Entertainment from the outside is too low. There is not even a decent opponent, so why should you break it?

And the inner self disintegrates…

If the helmsman is still an old guy like Lee Soo Man, he can still expect a hand.

But now that the person at the helm is Su Jinxing, who stepped onto the throne by stepping on Kim Young-min, Min Hee-jin, and Lee Soo-man, this is even more impossible.

He is too young. Even if he becomes like Lee Soo Man when he gets older, he will still have to wait for decades.

Being young means that Su Jinxing has a clear mind and will not lose his drive to forge ahead. This also means that SM Entertainment's peak period will continue indefinitely.

Not to mention that the current SM company has many talents besides Su Jinxing. The old man has retained the core talents, and Su Jinxing has boldly hired new people, which makes SM company have a continuous flow of fresh blood. The company maintains its youthful vitality. It's still a bit fanciful that something could go wrong.

Faced with such a company that cannot see its weaknesses, other entertainment companies must either join the Korean Illusion Club, start a show, or play their own game.

Negative corner stubborn resistance?

Are you courting death?

The film and television companies have not experienced the despair that Idol Entertainment has experienced, but they are not fools. This unusual move by Sunny Pictures has aroused their great vigilance, fearing that this thing will replicate the Korean Wave Film and Television Association in the film and television industry. Take control of the film and television industry.

The entire Korean entertainment industry has undergone a series of changes after Sunny Capital settled in the company, and these changes have been seen by some people.

On Christmas Day, Yipin Restaurant.

The streets are lined with Christmas trees, and there are two at the door of this Chinese restaurant where Su Jinxing often visits. However, there is no Christmas atmosphere inside the restaurant, but it still maintains the original Chinese style.

"It's not too late." Jin Zaiming, who was wearing a suit and standing tall, walked over with a smile.

Kim Jae-myung, who is over fifty, still looks strong.

"Teacher." Su Jinxing stood up with a smile.

"Sit down." Jin Zaiming waved his hand, "We are just two masters and disciples, so we don't need so many etiquettes."

"Recently, the top official of the Ministry of Culture and Sports has been saying bad things about you at the Blue House. Have you offended him?" Kim Jae-myung asked while taking off his suit after sitting down.

"His cake has been touched." Su Jinxing smiled. He had heard Uncle Yin tell him about this, "He has certain investments in the entertainment industry. Recently, the Korean Puppet Association has further annexed the Hallyu market, which has affected many non-member companies. Benefit."

"Tsk." Jin Zaiming smiled disdainfully, "That's the end of it for him to sit in this position. This little benefit requires eye drops. The situation is too small."

"What are you going to do?"

"As usual." Su Jinxing replied with a smile.

"Haha, okay!" Jin Zaiming laughed, "I just like your drive." "I pay no less than 2000 billion in taxes to the Republic of Korea every year, and the most he can do is give me some eye drops, which makes me sick." Su Jin Xingdan said with a smile.

The taxes paid by these industries under his control are sufficient every year, and the amount is no less than 2000 billion won. This money can also be regarded as protection fees in a certain sense.

As long as he makes regular payments every year, the Blue House will not try to touch him.

Su Jinxing has a deep control over his own industries. Once these industries are shut down, it will have a certain impact on the Korean economy.

It is far from being a serious loss of vitality, but it will also result in the loss of a considerable amount of income.

At this level of tax, what Su Jinxing paid was settlement fees.

"You made this move well." Jin Zaiming also had to sigh at Su Jinxing's pattern.

Is this much money?
many.

Many companies' annual book turnover does not reach 2000 billion, and Su Jinxing pays this tax as he says.

If he keeps it, his coffers will expand many, many times.

But he chose to hand it over in full.

After this, if nothing else, the tax department will treat him as a biological father.

This is 2000 billion!

Not 200 billion, but a full 2000 billion won!

Some chaebols have not paid as much as Su Jinxing. Do you really think there will be so many chaebols and companies paying in full?
Su Jinxing's annual tax of at least 2000 billion is quite explosive in the entire South Korea.

If nothing else, anyone who wants to touch Su Jinxing will be killed by the tax department.

Dare to touch your own God of Wealth?

court death!

Cheong Wa Dae also needs this 2000 billion.

Seoul's annual GDP is around 400 trillion, accounting for one-fifth of South Korea's total GDP.

Su Jinxing's industry's annual tax payment accounts for [-]/[-] of Seoul's annual GDP. This is the true God of Wealth.

As long as Su Jinxing does not seek death, he will not be touched even if he knows that he is from the chaebol faction.

"2000 billion... your company's annual revenue is really scary." Jin Zaiming sighed with emotion.

As a student, he can be said to have mastered most of the Korean Wave. Coupled with the various industries controlled by Qingtian Capital, the number of transactions Su Jin has made every year will be astronomical.

"The consumption power of the Kpop circle has been fixed. The annual turnover is only one trillion, and at most it will not exceed [-] trillion. The film and television circle is similar, even less than Kpop."

The taxes Su Jinxing paid were not paid by himself. The minimum tax of 2000 billion was not only from SM, but also Haidilao, Qingtian Films, JYP Holdings, Cube Entertainment, etc. owned by Qingtian Capital.

All these things added together, Su Jinxing paid more than 2000 billion in taxes this year.

Even before he took charge of SM last year, Su Jinxing paid tens of billions in taxes.

This year, the main reason is that the two major taxpayers, Korean Oupha and SM Corporation, account for too high a share.

The entertainment industry is a pillar industry in South Korea. The amount of taxes is very high, and tax avoidance or even tax evasion is generally practiced.

Su Jinxing, who pays the full amount of taxes honestly, is an anomaly in the history of Korean entertainment.

"It's not good for the Minister of Culture and Sports to keep giving you eye drops. I'll ask someone to talk to him." Jin Zaiming thought for a while and said.

"Thank you, teacher." Su Jinxing smiled and thanked him.

"You are my student and you are saying something like this." Jin Zaiming said pretending to be angry.

"Haha, it's my fault." Su Jinxing apologized with a smile, "By the way, teacher, I asked someone to bring some national tribute tea to the country. Knowing that you like to drink tea, teacher, I bought some. I have arranged for someone to Delivered to your home.”

Jin Zaiming raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face became wider.

"Is that so? You are serious about it."

"Does the teacher still remember my brother-in-law, Bae Yongxi from the Seoul District Prosecutor's Office?" Su Jinxing asked.

After giving a gift, of course I have to do something.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"He has been working as a district inspector for almost a year. Do you think there is any free position for him to move to?"

Bae Yongxi is a member of his own family, so Su Jinxing will definitely spare no effort to push him forward.

Uncle Yin is unreliable and has a huge appetite.Compared to him, Jin Zaiming's appetite is much smaller.

"District prosecutor... next year, there will be a case that will go to trial next year, which involves a leader of the prosecutor's office." Kim Jae-ming said that the case is still in the top secret stage.

In other words, Su Jinxing is one of his own, otherwise he wouldn't even mention it.

"Okay." Su Jinxing nodded without urging.

"Teacher, you're tired of traveling. Let's have something to eat first and try this Chinese restaurant."

"Okay." Jin Zaiming agreed with a smile.

……

After seeing Jin Zaiming away, Su Jinxing got into the car and drove towards home.

"Have everything been delivered?" Su Jinxing asked.

"Don't worry, the tea has been delivered to your home." Secretary Li replied.

"Yeah." Su Jinxing responded, saying it was tea leaves, but actually there was a box of gold inside.

It’s a small amount of money, but it’s enough to satisfy Jin Zaiming.

Compared to Jin Zaiming, Uncle Yin’s bastard stuff, even if you give him two boxes, it’s too little.

Su Jinxing raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

If you wait a little longer, when Pei Yongxi is pushed up by him, you can spend less.

"go home."

"Inside."

Today is Christmas, and there will be many people coming to my house in the evening, making it lively.

After a busy day, I just wanted to go back and have some fun.

Thinking of this, Su Jinxing felt happy.
