Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 137
The new year has arrived. According to the saying of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, one should welcome life with a new look.

It aims to highlight the word "change".

However, Park Jingxu's life remains the same as before and has not changed.

In addition to the regular filming of "Invincible Youth" and "HIGHKICK Through the Roof", the remaining free time is still occupied by old tricks.

Touch musical instruments every day, read books or go for a run to find inspiration.

Occasionally upload videos to my YouTube channel.

Otherwise, find acquaintances to drink coffee and chat with.

Life seems to have returned to the calm state before his debut.

Of course, Park Kyung Wook cannot really go back to the days before his debut.

Having both feet in the mire of the entertainment industry, it is not that easy to escape unscathed.

Not to mention anything else, the burden of the debut of Park Cho-long's group of trainees still weighs on him!

Although he asked for it himself, he can't blame others.

Park Kyung-wook himself does not feel that he is doing charity to help others realize their dreams.

But objectively speaking, with JYP having no plans for a girl group other than MISSA in the short term, Park Kyung Wook has indeed taken advantage of these trainees.

Otherwise, their only way out is to go to another company to debut.

Don't even think about the other two of the three majors, because they won't be able to continue promoting girl groups to debut in a short period of time.

But except for the three major companies, the conditions of other companies are not that good.

This is not only a lack of environmental conditions such as facilities and dormitories, but also the manpower reserves of professionals in various fields, as well as the channels and relationships after debut, which are far inferior to those of the three majors.

So the best way is to stay in the big three.

But then the problem came back, and the big three faced a long wait.

Even the company's top executives may not know when the next girl group project will be launched.

It is normal for trainees to waste time waiting for a chance to debut.

But not everyone can afford to wait.

For an older trainee born in 91 like Park Chorong, it is reasonable to say that Girls' Generation born around 89 or 90 should be of the same generation.

However, Girls’ Generation has already debuted two years ago.

Even F(X), whose members are almost younger than the group except for the leader, also debuted last year.

However, Park Chulong is still putting his energy into practice and looking for a possibility of debut.

The situation is almost completely different.

As more and more companies fail in the music industry, the demand for trainees is also gradually increasing.

As the number of jobs increases, the number of trainees will not increase significantly.

The younger idols are an irreversible trend.

In a few years, the competitors Park Chulong will face will not be peers, but children several years younger than him.

You will feel even more sad then!

It’s no wonder that Park Chorong feels anxious.

After all, you can't find anyone of your own age when you look around. Under the influence of the prevailing generation culture, this means that you may not even be able to find a good friend.

Park Chulong's dilemma was seen by Park Jingxu.

He is determined to help this girl whose personality and outlook are very appealing to him.

Therefore, I came up with the idea of ​​launching my own new girl group project.

This idea is undoubtedly a bit fanciful.

After all, he is not even the boss of the company, he is just a commander, so how can he devote resources to forming an idol group.

However, after some in-depth thinking, he found that this idea had great potential.

Although he is not the boss of the company, he is at least the nephew of the boss.

The conditions for launching a girl group are not far away.

With internal coordination, it is not impossible to launch a girl group of its own with the help of JYP.

As for how to coordinate, it is an operation of exchange of interests, let’s not mention it for now.

In addition, after the incident where his uncle tested him, Park Kyung Wook was determined to have his own voice in this industry.

The launch of the new girl group is obviously a very good opportunity.

As long as he succeeds, his identity will change from Park Jin Young's nephew, a new singer, actor and host from JYP, to an outstanding girl group producer.

If your own company is established, you can also have the title of company founder.

You can also occupy a place in this industry.

What's more important is being able to make a lot of real money.

How much profit can be gained from operating a successful idol group? The three major players have the most say on this point.

The reason why the Big Three are the Big Three is inseparable from these well-known idol groups.

Even if the girl group doesn't make as much money as the boy group, it's still much more than being an artist.

Of course, Park Kyung Wook is an anomaly. With the relationship of Park Jin Young's nephew, his contract is much more generous than that of ordinary artists.

It is impossible for the company to exploit him like an ordinary artist, and the share ratio is relatively low.

However, judging from Park Kyung Wook's current rapid momentum, JYP has made a lot of money even with a small head, so surprisingly no one in the company's senior management complained about Park Kyung Wook's privileges.

It can be said that in just half a year, Park Kyung Wook has almost become the third most profitable artist in the company.

The first and second ones are definitely uncle Park Jin Young and 2PM.

2PM has the advantage of debuting early, but judging from the actual popularity feedback, it is not as good as Park Kyung Wook.

If Park Kyung Wook's current trend can continue, it will be a matter of time before 2PM is surpassed.

It is precisely because of Park Kyung Wook's great potential that the new girl group project has not become empty talk.

To put it bluntly, with his current hot momentum and his status as the boss's nephew, he is already qualified to negotiate with the company.

Under Park Kyung Wook's vision, the new girl group will sign a record contract with JYP just like him.

The brokerage contract is placed under the new company.

This model is not the first of his kind.

When BOA went to Neon, they signed their record contract with Aihui in exchange for the smooth development of the local area.

Including their JYP boy group 2AM is also this model.

The management contract was signed with JYP, while the record contract was given to Bang Si Hyuk’s Big Hit.

This situation occurs because of the close relationship between Bang Si Hyuk and his uncle Park Jin Young.

None of these are important. The important thing is that the reason why Park Jingxu also holds the agency contract in his hands is because this is where he makes the most money.

The basis of profits from commercial performance peripheral signings are closely related to the brokerage contract.

Album sales are restricted by the record contract.

Originally, the sales volume of girl groups was not as good as that of boy groups, so Park Kyung Wook intentionally gave up part of his profits in exchange for a mature team to participate in album production, which would save a lot of effort.

Of course, what Park Jingxu gave up would be retrieved elsewhere.

On the surface, I just signed a record contract, but in fact, I will also use JYP's power in other areas, such as the practice room and dormitory. In fact, JYP is still responsible for it, and there will be no changes. This is the privilege of the boss's nephew, and there is no change. It was written into the contract, but it was considered a tacit understanding between both parties.

The only thing that has changed is probably that the arranger and settlement party for commercial performances and other activities have been replaced by Park Kyung Wook's own company.

Park Kyung Wook would do this as a last resort.

If you set up a new company, it will cost a lot of money just to rent office space.

Although there is investment from CJ, Fool and JYP, it is far from enough.

The main operating cost of asset-light companies like entertainment brokerage companies is human resource costs.

To put it simply, it is the salary expenses of the company’s employees.

If you want to establish a well-established and large department and recruit industry leaders, you will inevitably have to pay wages above the average level. Coupled with the supporting mature team, the cost of maintaining these people will be beyond imagination.

It is not suitable for a start-up company like Park Kyung Wook.

If you don’t have the ability to make money, you have to be more down-to-earth.

First establish several essential departments such as brokerage, public relations, publicity and finance.

The establishment of several planning departments such as recording, film and television, and variety shows has been put on hold for the time being.

It’s not too late to wait until you make money.

In order to realize his big game, Park Jingxu currently needs to do several things.

The first is to make money. Without money, it is impossible to fund the establishment of a company and maintain operations.

After reaching the minimum requirement of money, the next step is to sit down with Fool, JYP and CJ to discuss funding.

Only by finding a backer can you stay in this industry with peace of mind.

After the three have reached an agreement and established the company, the next thing that needs to be done is to recruit people.

For a company to maintain operations, even if it is small, Park Jingxu alone is not enough.

The young man believes in leaving professional matters to professionals.

So he needs to find a professional manager to help him manage the company, and he won't be too worried about this.

Just contact the headhunting company directly for help in searching.

After someone is organized, the location of the office needs to be put on the agenda.

Relying on the relationship between CJ, JYP and Fool, finding a place to work is not a problem.

Even if you can't afford to rent the entire building, renting at least a few floors won't be a big problem.

At this point, the company is formed.

All that's left is to think of a name and register it.

Park Kyung Wook should wait until he brings CJ, JYP and the idiots together to discuss and reach a consensus.

But now is not a good time. Anyway, this matter has to be done, not to mention a long time, it will take several months.

Instead of rushing, it is better to wait for the opportunity that Park Jingxu has identified.

That won't be long. Soon, we will see the result in the first month of the new year.

……

In this way, Park Jingxu continued his peaceful and leisurely life until late January.

He finally got the opportunity he was looking forward to.

On January 2010, 1, the second official album of Girls' Generation, a girl group owned by Shamao, released the MV trailer;

On January 1, the title song "Oh!" was released online for the first time and topped the Real Time music chart within 25 minutes.

1月28日正式发行，发售第一天就创下15万张的预售成绩，这使少女时代创下了连续4张专辑销量突破10万张的记录。

Girls' Generation's success did not create a huge splash, because everyone knows that this is the achievement that the first girl group in the peninsula should have.

However, Park Kyung-wook, the producer of the title song "Oh!", is on the hot search list again!

"No... why are all the songs written by Xu Bao so good!"

"The person upstairs is of course because he is Park Kyung Wook! Do you understand the value of being awarded the song of the year award?"

"I'm so touched. I just finished listening to the new songs at the year-end song party, and in less than a month there will be songs by Xu Bao to listen to!"

"Xubao is really a prolific creator. In just half a year, he not only sang so many songs himself, but also wrote so many songs for others!"

"The products produced by Xubao are of high quality and quantity, which is really great! There is also a new album this year! Not to mention the songs written for other singers!"

"I suggest other singers learn from Xu Bao. Without this level, how can they satisfy their fans?"

"Are you trying to kill other singers upstairs? Not many people can meet Xu Bao's standards. Anyway, I fell in love with Xu Bao because of his uniqueness!"

"I met Xu Bao by chance near JYP's company recently. He was really nice. Not only did he meet my request for autographs and photos, but he also bought me a cup of coffee!"

"Upstairs, are you a beauty? Otherwise Xu Bao can do this?"

"I don't know if she's a beauty or not, but Xu Bao is so nice to me just because I run the fan site for him, hahaha!"

"I don't care if there is a beauty upstairs. I just want to know if you have asked Xu Bao about his plans for this year, such as when will the new album be released?"

"Of course I asked about these, but Xu Bao didn't go into too much detail. He said that even he himself hadn't decided on these. But one thing is certain, Xu Bao said that the quality of this album will exceed everyone's imagination. !”

"Real or false? Hahahahaha! Then I'll wait and see. The budget to buy the album has already been prepared! Just waiting for it to be released!"

"To be honest, I think the best thing about Xu Bao is that when he writes songs for others, he always tailors them, and the songs he produces are very suitable for each other. Including this time Girls' Generation's comeback hit "Oh!" I can only say Except for Girls’ Generation, no other group is so suitable for this style!”

"Let me add something to help people upstairs. The songs Xu Bao wrote this time are the main hits of the second regular album. Compared with the mini album, it is more difficult to be selected! Because there are more songs, there is a need for competitors. Just more!”

"It seems that Girls' Generation has told an interesting story behind it. I heard that Wook Bo came up with this song when they met with Lee Soo Man, and Lee Soo Man decided to play the song on the spot after hearing it. Without even thinking about it!"

"Xubao is so good! The myth of never failing to write songs still continues today!"

"Excerpt from the media's evaluation of this kind of song: The title song "Oh!" was tailor-made by composer Park Kyung-wook for Girls' Generation. This electronic pop-style dance song with a concise feel does not lose the splendor of the latest pop, but also combines unique The melody flow and arrangement are integrated, getting rid of the gradual and fixed pattern of "intro - verse - chorus". The members responsible for their respective parts inadvertently sing in leaps and bounds, constantly changing, showing vitality and full of lightness and motivation. The unique personality of Girls' Generation. In addition, the lyrics that express love to the person you love candidly and cutely are also a highlight."

"As a SONE, I am very satisfied with this song! The results on the first day also proved that it is indeed a good song suitable for all ages! I am very grateful to Park Kyung Wook Xi for giving us Girls' Generation such a rare song! Kang Sang Mi clatter!"

As the discussion became more and more intense, not only fans of Park Kyung Wook, but also many fans of Girls' Generation participated.

Basically, it has received unanimous praise, the songs are excellent, and the producer's past achievements need not be mentioned.

No one would listen to Heizi even if he wanted to belittle him, and he was soon drowned in the sound of praise.

The success of "Oh!" is also of great significance to Park Kyung Wook.

Because this time he served as the producer of a girl group for the first time and achieved impressive results.

Although in terms of time, he wrote songs for JYP's girl group MissA earlier.

But after all, it is "Oh!" 》 was launched first.

In the eyes of the world, Park Kyung Wook's ability as a producer was proved for the first time.

This will be a very important boost to his next plan!
