Peninsula: Start with the nephew of the soy sauce bottle

Chapter 20
But Li Xiuman obviously didn't give him this chance, he just stared at him and said with a smile.

"There are several Chinese idioms with similar meanings, such as being in the bag, standing out from the crowd, standing out, etc. I think these words are very suitable for you, Jingxu, what do you think?"

"Uncle Li is too praiseworthy."

"You know in your heart whether you are overly praised or not. There is no need to worry about this issue. What matters is how other people view you. I believe that as long as you know a little bit about Park Jingxu, you will easily admit my point of view."

Facing Li Xiuman's bottomless praise, what can Park Kyung Wook do?
All he could do was smile politely.

"Jing Xu... Maybe you don't even realize your talent. I won't say more about this last time. Uncle Rong, I'm talking nonsense—I really don't want you to waste such a piece of jade on Park Zhenying In hand."

Lee Soo Man repeated his old tune to recruit him, but Park Kyung Wook couldn't say the words of rejection without hesitation like last time.

Humans are not as ruthless as grass and trees. He was a little shaken.

Facing what can be said to be the biggest BOSS in the music industry in a practical sense, he has been recruiting with determination again and again, and he can feel the sincerity and attention involved.

This is even more obvious when compared with the neglect of his uncle Park Jin Young.

The old fox, who can read people's hearts, also discovered the boy's hesitation, so he hit the railway while it was hot.

"If you hadn't come up with a song that was high enough to be a hit last time, I wouldn't have thought of recruiting you again. After all, I, Lee Soo Man, have been in the music industry for decades and I haven't seen any kind of genius."

Lee Soo Man is truly qualified to say this. The long list of artists from Foolish Hat Company is enough to explain everything.

"But you are different, Jingxu. It is no exaggeration to say that a genius like you is rare in a hundred years.

I have a basis for saying this. Not everyone can write a song that has the potential to become a hit at the age of 14.

What does this mean?It shows that your starting point is actually the end point that many people can't reach. Even if you make no progress in the future, you can still occupy a place in the music industry.

Of course, this is impossible. Even if a pig lives for a few more decades, it will grow. "

Although he was worried about whether he could successfully recruit, Li Xiuman looked relaxed and even joked.

"In addition, your physical and vocal talents are also rare. You can be an ACE in any group;

His acting skills as a child star were also remarkable, so there is no obstacle to getting involved in the film and television industry;

Your performance in the variety show is also very impressive - it can be said that Jingxu has no shortcomings.

As long as such people are not too unlucky, they will definitely be able to make a career in the entertainment industry.

I don't quite believe it, Jingxu, that you don't realize the difference between yourself and others. "

Li Xiuman smiled confidently, as if he had understood everything.

Hearing this, Park Jingxu could no longer remain silent. He was not the type to pretend to be an ostrich.

"Uncle Li Xiuman, I admit that I have never doubted that I will succeed. This is not arrogance, but as I get older, I gradually realize that I can achieve my position in this industry as long as I work hard. .”

Park Jingxu took another sip of the tea soup, and he unexpectedly got along with the taste.

Maybe the statement is wrong, maybe it is more compatible with expensive things?

Converging his slightly divergent thoughts, he continued.

"If the competition in the entertainment industry is compared to a grand Texas Hold'em poker game, after the cards are dealt, as long as someone sits in my position, they will find that my hole card is an unbeatable royal flush.

I didn't need to read faces or bluff to increase my odds, I could simply put up my chips and wait for victory to come. "

After listening to Park Jingxu's words, Li Xiuman frowned slightly, as if he could guess what the other party would say next.

Sure enough, at the next moment, Park Jingxu said those words just as he thought.

"Since I am destined to win, is there any need to let others make it better?
Since I am destined to win, does it matter whether I am a fool or JYP?
Since I'm destined to win, what's the point of trying a little harder difficulty? "

When Park Kyung Wook finished speaking with great enthusiasm, Li Xiuman realized that he might have really gotten to know the young man in front of him at this time.

That ambitious look is very similar to his young self, when he sent Boa to RB, ushering in an era.

What about Park Kyung Wook?What will he bring to the Peninsula music industry and even the entertainment industry?
he does not know.

But this didn't stop him from becoming more optimistic about this young man.

"There's still a difference, at least a silly hat will take you to the next level."

"Uncle Li Xiuman, you think too highly of yourself." Park Jingxu shook his head to express his dissent.

"Oh? Really? I think I have some ability in this area."

Li Xiuman raised his eyebrows and was denied by a half-year-old boy. He was a little unhappy but still maintained his demeanor.

"Of course I will not deny your ability, and I respect your achievements in opening up the RB market. But my pessimism about the prospects of idiots is not in these aspects, although it is indeed one of the things you are proud of."

“I admit that I treat artists as commodities, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.

When does a salesperson work their hardest?Of course when he can make money.

In terms of treatment, I feel that I have never treated anyone badly.The kids gained fame, I gained money, and everyone got what they wanted. "

Park Jingxu finally saw how shameless the person in charge of the leading music management company was. He could tell such a lie that could be seen through at a glance without blushing.

Although there were many flaws in Lee Soo Man's words, Park Kyung Wook did not hold on to them.

Because that's not what he's talking about.

"Let's take it as what you said, but that's not what I want to say."

The first half of Park Jingxu's words made Li Xiumei raise his eyebrows. He wondered if he was too polite to this little kid, causing him to lose his basic respect for his elders?

However, Park Jingxu's next words made him ignore these and fell into deep thought.

"Has Uncle Li Xiuman paid attention to the after-sales service of Shamao's family?

From the beginning of the myth, to this year's event of Dongshen and SJ's contract termination, I think Uncle Li Xiuman should have learned a lot of lessons from it.

Of course, I don't mean to go back to the topic of 'whether artists should be treated harshly as commodities'. "

Seeing Park Kyung Wook blatantly exposing his scars, even the well-educated Lee Soo Man couldn't help but feel a little angry.However, he suppressed his emotions for the time being and watched all this with a cold eye. He wanted to see what the other party could say.

"Two of the company's economic pillars have collapsed at once. You may regret it and think about changes. But the size of the company is there, and it affects the whole body. Because of this, the development policy formulated cannot be changed overnight, which is not conducive to development, I understand your approach.”

After hearing these words, Li Xiuman's expression softened slightly, but Park Jingxu's next words made him secretly angry.

"I sometimes think about what I would do if I were in your position. After thinking about it, I found that I am not much different from you. So I am probably not a good person!"

Pointing fingers at mulberry trees and scolding huai trees, right?brat!

"Back to the point of after-sales service, after-sales service is not only for fans, but also for artists.

The normal group signing time limit is about seven years.When the contract expires, the company will face the decision of whether to renew the contract - this is actually very simple. If you can make money, cooperate, if not, get out.

That's how most companies handle it, except for my egomaniac uncle. "

As he spoke, Park Kyung Wook looked at Lee Soo Man, who looked hesitant, and said with a smile.

"It just so happens that you, Uncle Li Xiuman, are a very capable person. The groups you launched have been very successful. Your clever marketing and excellent packaging have made fans very loyal.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the group contract will be renewed when it expires.

At the same time, this is also a disadvantage of being a fool. Artists are too dependent on the company, and it is difficult to make waves without the company.

Because they have never been themselves, they are just playing the role assigned by the company.For the sake of their future, few people choose to leave the company. "

Park Jingxu's analysis was still listened to by Li Xiuman. In fact, he was also thinking about this after the recent incident between Dongshen and SJ. Part of Park Jingxu's thoughts coincided with his.

“But have you ever thought about what will happen to Foolish Company as the timeline stretches out?
Assuming you still maintain the high-level packaging of Toshin SJ SJ, then the accumulated groups in the company will only increase.

I believe that with your intelligence, you will not realize the consequences of this, right? "

Of course Li Xiuman is not a fool, he figured out the key point after a little bit, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

“Uncle Lee is from Seoul National University and should understand the diminishing marginal effect in economics.

That is to say, the investment in the old group will eventually exceed the output.

Under the premise that the company does not have unlimited expansion possibilities, the resources available to the company are fixed.

As the number of old groups increases, the proportion of new groups will be squeezed, causing the proportion of new groups to become smaller and smaller, and the proportion will become abnormal.

Reflecting the reality, the time between new groups and their debuts is getting longer and longer.

However, the first three years before the establishment of the new group is the peak period of profit, and the decline in the frequency of group promotion will greatly affect the company's profit, leading to increased dependence on the old group, and eventually falling into a vicious circle. "

As Park Jingxu went deeper into the deconstruction, Li Xiuman's face became paler, and at the end he couldn't help shaking his hands.

"Uncle Li Xiuman, tell me, can this big ship riddled with holes help me set sail? Or will it drag me to the grave like the Titanic?"

Park Jingxu's last shocking rhetorical question kept echoing in the ears of the actual leader of the leading company in the music industry, making him lose all color on his face, unable to stabilize his body, and almost fainted.

At that moment, he seemed to have returned to the night when he was accused of embezzling public funds. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave and felt chilled all over.
