Love Story: Starting from Marriage

Taeyeon was surprised when Kwon Yool suggested starting a company.

It only took four days from the time he knew that Jung Ho-yong was arranged to be transferred to work with Kim Soo-hyun by the company until Kwon Yool proposed to let Jung Ho-yong open the company during dinner tonight.

During this period, they had not talked about anything about the future, the company, the contract, or Zheng Haorong in Italy.

Taeyeon always thought that Kwon Yul would cooperate with the new manager arranged by the company until the end of the contract. As for Jung Hoyong, Kwon Yul would probably persuade him to take good care of Kim Soo Hyun.

Never thought that Quan Lu would let Zheng Haorong become independent.

It is not uncommon for agents to open companies, especially in the 1990s. Many agents of generation idols or actors also opened their own entertainment companies after accumulating several years of experience.

Until about 2005, it was an era when a hundred flowers bloomed. It can be said that entertainment companies were everywhere in Seoul.

Many people who dream of becoming singers, idols, and actors are rushing to Seoul because of the rise of the pornographic trend of a generation of idols.

Some people have worked hard with small companies, but that is only a 1% chance, and from the initial dream of being an idol or an actor, they have to become a Trot singer in order to make their debut.

More people were deceived by people who claimed to be cultivating stars. They signed artist contracts, dreamed of debuting, and did various exercises and preparations every day in a rooftop room in Seoul, but in the end they turned out to be the so-called representatives. They ran away with the money they paid.

Too many things like this happened, and it still does today.

It is easy to set up a company, but running the company after it is established is a difficult problem. .

Jung Ho-yong didn’t ask Kwon Yool what direction he planned to start after establishing the company.

He believed that since Kwon Ryul proposed the idea of ​​starting a company, there must be other subsequent considerations and preparations.

Taeyeon didn't ask Kwon Yool at the dinner table.

With countless curiosity, Taeyeon and Kwon Yool returned to the Seongbukdong villa.

Living room on the first floor.

Taeyeon sat on the sofa and looked at Kwon Ryul: "I didn't want to ruin the atmosphere while eating, so I never asked."

Quan Lu raised his hand and pinched Taeyeon's cheek gently and said with a smile: "That's why I always think you are a very smart person."

Taeyeon asked Kwon Ryul: "When did you make this plan?"

Quan Lu shrugged: "To be precise, I made this decision four days ago, but I thought about this issue after last year's Fruit TV New Year's Eve party and even when I was filming with Han Geng the year before last."

"Do you still remember that KEYEAST and I were in the process of renewing our contract for the first time? At that time, Han Geng told me that I could actually consider opening my own studio."

"In Country H, there are studios, but almost all of them are run by composers and lyricists."

"For example, I have learned about Sinsa-dong Tiger from a side perspective, but I haven't seen actors opening studios yet."

"Brother Choi Min-sik doesn't have his own agency. Brother Hwang Jung-min has handed over his career to his wife's company to take care of it."

"You are very busy. Girls' Generation is also a top idol group. I never thought of leaving my career to you to start a company."

"But from the moment the company decided to reject the movie for me without notifying me, I was thinking that the best outcome for the company and me in the future would be to break up peacefully. At that time, should I go to Hwang Jung Min's company, or should I go to Hwang Jung Min's company? Like Choi Min-sik, you don’t want a management company.”

"For me, it's too troublesome not to use a brokerage company. I have never dealt with various tax and other issues myself."

"It just so happens that this time the company has done something that makes me very disappointed. If Brother Haorong doesn't resign, I will indeed persuade him to resign tonight. He is the most suitable person to open this company."

After listening, Taeyeon just nodded slightly. No matter what Kwon Yul does, he will do it carefully, and Taeyeon unconditionally believes in Kwon Yul.

He is a mature person at work and will not make any impulsive decisions.

Taeyeon is also aware of the changes KEYEAST has made to him since the end of last year.

The reality is inherently cruel. When the person who relies on you to make a fortune knows that you are about to leave, he will definitely replant the money tree. Kim Soo Hyun will undoubtedly become the person to replace Kwon Yul.

Taeyeon asked again: "But your contract with KEYEAST still has more than a year left. What will Oppa do if Hoyong starts a company at this time?"

Kwon Ryul looked at Taeyeon and asked, "Yes, what do you think the new company should do as the first step?"

Taeyeon pointed at herself: "Are you asking me?"

Quan Lu nodded: "Well, I need your opinion, and I believe your opinion will be of great help to me."

Taeyeon didn't expect Kwon Yool to value her opinion so much.

Suddenly, Taeyeon felt the pressure.

Quan Lu comforted him: "Don't feel pressured, just say whatever you want."

Taeyeon held her chin with her left hand, looked at the ceiling for a while and then said: "Actually, there are only a few things that you can do when opening an entertainment company, either to train actors or to train idol singers."

If a newly opened company wants to train idol singers, it will cost too much money. It must first recruit external trainees. At least dozens of trainees must be recruited, and then a dozen or so trainees must be selected from them to join the debut preparation group. of.

It’s not surprising that these people have to pay for food in the early stage, and they also need to arrange dormitories after entering the debut preparatory group. In fact, these are just small amounts of money.

The key is that if you really want to make a debut, the album production, MV shooting, singing costumes, makeup, transportation, publicity expenses, etc. will add up to a huge amount.

Girls' Generation spends a lot of money on every album comeback. The last comeback cost more than 20 billion H won.

However, it would be the most fatal if you spend 20 billion H yuan to debut and fail to gain traction.

It is not easy for newcomers to get out of the circle, especially in the highly competitive idol circle.

It's okay for an actor. You already have connections with directors, writers, screenwriters, and broadcaster PDs in the industry.

And when training an actor, you don’t need to think about album production, you just need to find opportunities for him to star in works.

In addition to actors, solo singers are not impossible, but in country H, it is also difficult for solo singers to be successful.

To be safe, my advice is to do what you are good at, and if you want to train new people, train actors.

Kwon Yool nodded while listening.

After Taeyeon finished speaking, he took over the topic and said: "I also want to train new actors, so that there is little pressure in all aspects, and it is also a job scope that Ho Yong is familiar with."

"It's just that it's not easy to find an actor with potential, so if I want to do a good job in the company, but I'm not good at being an actor, I need to think about cultivating idols or solo singers."

"Are you really considering this?"

Quan Lu smiled and said: "Really, if you train someone, make money. If you can't train them, then transform. There are also cases of idols transforming into actors, just like Yoona." (End of Chapter)
