I am not an artist when I am reborn

Chapter 6 Factions

roll!
If you don't die, you will die!
I don't know if it's because two lives are human beings, and the two in one are greater than one. Su Jinxing didn't feel too many obstacles when he retook his high school courses.

This gave Su Jinxing a lot of confidence.

The admission standard for international students is far lower than that of native students. Now that his learning ability has been enhanced, Su Jinxing is a little bit more confident about being admitted to Seoul National University.

There are not many courses in Hanlin Yigao, so Su Jinxing goes to the study room after class, squatting for a whole day.

Every high school in South Korea has a special study room for college entrance examinations, but there is a difference between less and more.Hanlin Yigao’s self-study room is basically empty, at most a few people will come in at night, Su Jinxing monopolizes the entire classroom every day, and does not return to the dormitory until 10:30 after lighting up the night battle.

Because the dormitory closes at 10:30.

After returning to the dormitory to wash up, I will continue to roll!
This kind of king life lasted for a week. On Saturday, Su Jinxing received a call from a stranger.

"Yo Busa." Su Jinxing stood in the corridor, blowing the breeze blowing away a little bit of fatigue.

"Good morning Su Jin Xingxi, I'm Min Xizhen." Min Xizhen's mature female voice came from the receiver.

"Good morning, Director Min."

"Do you have time now? Come to the company, terminate the practice contract, and sign a producer contract." Min Xizhen went straight to the point without detours.

Su Jinxing likes this kind of boss.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

"Well, slow down on the road."

After hanging up the phone, Su Jinxing clenched his fist and swung it vigorously.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but this first step is finally taken!
Su Jinxing wasn't in the mood for reading anymore, so he went back to the self-study room and simply packed his schoolbag, then quickly went downstairs with the schoolbag on his back.

……

SM Corporation.

Under the guidance of Min Xizhen, I went to the floor where the Performing Arts Department was located.

There are many departments in SM company, but the most core department is the performing arts department. There are many departments under the performing arts department, among which the producer department is one of the subordinate departments of the performing arts department.

When Su Jinxing came to the performing arts department, he saw Min Xizhen's secretary at a glance, the sister Yu Pu Zhenyan who always wore black professional OL attire.

Under the leadership of Park Zhenyan, they came to a conference room.

Park Jin-yeon raised her hand and knocked on the open door.

"Director Min, Minister Li, Sister K, Su Jinxing is here." Park Zhenyan said Su Jinxing's name was a bit awkward, and it was really hard to pronounce this name in Korean.

Su Jinxing followed Park Zhenyan in and saw Min Xizhen and the three of them.

Min Xizhen sat in the middle, on her left was a man wearing glasses and a suit, and on her right was a woman wearing black-rimmed glasses.

Su Jinxing knows everyone.

The man is Lee Sung-soo, and the woman is Kenzie, Miss K.

Lee Sung Soo, Lee Soo Man's nephew, the future representative of SM Entertainment.

Kenzie, Sister K, one of the gold medal producers of SM company, Girls' Generation's "Reunited World", Fun's "hot summer", and EXO's "wolf" are all produced by her.

Su Jinxing did not expect that these two would also attend the signing ceremony, and bowed to the three of them.

"Come on, sit down." Min Xizhen pointed to the seat opposite the three of them and said.

Su Jinxing nodded and sat down.

There is a sense of sight of an interview...

"Do you know these two?" Min Xizhen asked.

"I know, Minister Lee Sung-soo and the producer of Kenzie." Su Jinxing said with a nod.

"Just get to know each other." Min Xizhen nodded, "The director of performing arts, that is, Minister Li, is solely responsible for the signing of the producer. Kenzie wants to see the songwriter who wrote "Roar"."

Su Jinxing looked at Miss K, and Miss K smiled at Su Jinxing.

"We have heard both of your songs, you are very talented." Lee Sung-soo said, during this time they were not only considering the market value of these two songs, but also checking Su Jinxing.

Don't look back at where this kid copied the song, it will be a lot of fun.

This kind of thing is not without, and there will be no shortage of speculators anywhere.

"Thank you." Su Jinxing responded politely.

"This is the contract, you have a look." Li Chengzhu took out a contract and handed it to Su Jinxing.

"You can take it back and have a lawyer look at it." Min Xizhen interjected.

Li Chengzhu glanced at Min Xizhen, and said with a smile: "Director Min is right, you should be more cautious about things like contracts."

Su Jinxing nodded, a little surprised in his heart, but he was surprised by Min Xizhen's kindness.

Open the contract.

Su Jinxing took a general look, and he has a certain understanding of the producer's contract.

First of all, this contract is a normal newcomer producer contract. It is a two-year contract with a monthly salary of 150 million, and the songs produced are not included.

Participating in the production of songs will be rewarded at 500 million yuan per song, and leading production songs will be rewarded at 1000 million yuan per song. Independently produced songs can choose to buy out or participate in copyright sharing, and the copyright sharing will be divided [-]-[-] with the company.

Compared with the artist's vampire contract, the producer's contract is much more relaxed, after all, the producer and the artist are not the same thing.

The copyright is in the hands of the producer, and the money is split [-]-[-] with the company, which is a normal Korean new producer contract.

It can't be compared with gold medal producers like Sister K and Yu Yongzhen. Their contract copyright share can reach [-], or even [-].

But SM company didn't bully him either, just follow the most common [-]-[-] split in the market.

"How do I calculate those two songs?" Su Jinxing asked.

"'Roar' and 'Party' are based on the terms of the contract, you can choose whether to buy out the company or share the copyright." Lee Sung-soo said.

"Okay, where to sign?" Su Jinxing became energetic when he heard that there was a copyright share.

"Don't let the lawyer take a look?" Li Chengzhu said with some surprise, and Min Xizhen reminded him.

"I believe in the company." Su Jinxing's inexperienced appearance amused the three of them.

"You trust the company, and the company will not live up to your trust." Li Chengzhu said to Su Jinxing with a smile.

[If Director Min Xizhen told me this, I would probably believe it. ]
Su Jinxing murmured in his heart, if Li Chengzhu who backhandedly reported his own uncle was a good bird, Su Jinxing would not believe it if he was beaten to death.

Don't talk about righteousness and killing relatives, cheating ghosts!
Seeing Su Jinxing sign his name on the contract, Li Chengzhu spoke again.

"Your name is not very good for publicity, let's take a stage name."

"Stage name." Su Jinxing thought for a while, "Su, let's call him Su."

"Okay." Li Chengzhu was not entangled in such trivial matters.

""Party" will be included in the company's music library, and will not be accepted for the time being. "Roar" will be included in xo's official first album, and "wolf" will be a double hit. This is the company's initial plan."

What Li Chengzhu said surprised Su Jinxing.

Tell him this kind of thing is to...

"On the strong recommendation of Director Min, the company decided to give you the first production task." Li Chengzhu continued, "Director Li Xiuman, the music director of the company, will be the supervisor of the regular [-]st album of xo, and you will participate in the production of the regular [-]st album as a producer. Sister K is also a participating producer, responsible for the production of the title song."

Su Jinxing looked at Miss K, and Miss K smiled at Su Jinxing.

""Roar" has the potential to be the main title, but "Wolf" has already been produced, and the company tends to have double titles, but Director Min believes that "Roar" is more competitive as a follow-up promotional song for the regular album. You are the producer of "Roar" Man, what do you think?" Lee Sung-soo asked.

Su Jinxing couldn't help looking at Min Xizhen.

Su Jinxing, who has memories of the future, of course knows which option is better. Min Xizhen is worthy of being the art director of SM company, this kind of strategic vision is indeed outstanding.

"I think Director Min has a better idea."

Li Chengzhu looked regretful, but Min Xizhen laughed.

Su Jinxing was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted.

Factional war.

There have always been various factions fighting each other within the SM company. As an artist in his previous life, Su Jinxing was naturally just a bystander and was not qualified to join the game.

But it's different now. Strictly speaking, the producer is the backbone of the company, and it's completely different from the naturally low-status artist.

Su Jinxing's choice just now seems to be a suggestion for the follow-up development of EXO, but in essence, is it not a kind of standing?
Min Xizhen strongly recommended him to participate in the production of EXO's regular first album, which in itself released a signal, a signal to win him over.

And Su Jinxing chose to support Min Xizhen's propaganda method, which also responded to this signal.

No matter what he thinks, after leaving this conference room, he will be labeled as Min Xizhen.

Lee Sung Soo still represents Lee Soo Man's faction at the moment, and Min Hee Jin is naturally herself.

Min Xizhen's faction...

Also good.

Since one wants to climb up in the company, a backer is indispensable.

Jin Yingmin's faction is now powerful, but he takes jujube pills.

Lee Soo Man's faction has been active, but he also takes jujube pills, and there is Lee Sung Soo watching over here.

The director factions are all invested by a group of large capitals. They will not treat Su Jinxing as a human being until Su Jinxing shows enough value. Plutocrats all have the same virtue.

In comparison, Min Xizhen's faction is the best choice.

Although Min Xizhen left SM in 2019 and took away a lot of direct descendants, those who did not follow her were not suppressed, but still worked in the company, and some even got promoted.

Judging from the results, Min Xizhen's departure was not the result of a failed high-level game.Think about it too, if a high-level resignation is forced, how could it be so sudden? After all, at Min Xizhen's level, they all hold the shares of SM Company in their hands, and they are also members of the board of directors. Probability is something else.

Moreover, Min Xizhen herself has no interest in the position of president. This faction tends to be neutral and safer.

With such a boss, Su Jinxing had a backer before he fully developed.

All in all, his unintentional choice is still the best.

"Su, follow Kenzie to find an office area." Li Chengzhu's words pulled Su Jinxing back.

Su Jinxing got up and nodded to Min Xizhen and Li Chengzhu, then followed Kenzie and left.

Li Chengzhu didn't speak until Su Jinxing left.

"Director Min is very optimistic about this child?"

"Give more opportunities to young people." Min Xizhen responded indifferently.

"Director Min really doesn't want to consider the position of vice president? With your qualifications"

"I won't get involved in the matter between you and the president." Min Xizhen interrupted Li Chengzhu's words, "Director Li has been very active recently, I hope you don't forget that the tax office is still watching him."

The smile on Li Chengzhu's face froze, and when he wanted to say something more, Min Xizhen had already got up and left.

Helplessly shook his head.

"It's really oily and salty."
