Wang's Korean entertainment

Chapter 1143 An Invitation to Dinner

At the end of the conversation, Sunny made a proposal that was beyond Han Yu's expectations. At the same time, she also mentioned something that Han Yu hadn't thought of before, or that he hadn't thought of yet.

For fans, the so-called idol group is a few unusual people who get together and make up an unusual name, but in fact, in the entertainment industry, a group of artists can represent a name, but a name , but does not necessarily represent that group of artists.

To give a very simple and well-known example, as a veritable "Shinhin" in the idol group, the members of the Shinhwa group gave up almost everything in order to get rid of SM together with this name. Savings have almost become "sacrifices" to fill SM's gluttonous mouth.

Some people say that running an idol group is like running a brand.

This sentence is biased, but in a sense, it is also quite correct.

Running a brand, as long as it is run properly, can be inherited for a long time, but running an idol group, no matter how glorious it is at its peak, will eventually disappear in time as the members get older.

The only thing the two have in common is that they both may leave a glorious name of unknown value.

There are not many idol groups that can leave some traces in history, or it should be said that there are very few, but Girls' Generation will definitely be one of them.

The phrase "the pinnacle of the women's team" is enough to describe everything.

Under such circumstances, even Han Yu knows that even if he gathers all the nine members of Girls' Generation, there is a very high probability that he will not be able to get the name that has been managed by the nine girls to become a legend.

"Girls' Generation (Girls' Generation)", the name of this group, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a thousand dollars, or even a word of ten thousand dollars. The bigger possibility is that SM will not even open the price tag.

For some things, you know that if you hold them tightly in your hands, they will no longer produce any value, but you still won't let them go.

The four words "Girls' Generation" are just like that.

With this name, SM will leave a strong mark in the history of the Korean entertainment industry. Selling this name is tantamount to sharing more than half of the glory that originally belonged to others to others. The most important thing is Yes, that person is still the big enemy who poached his "cash cow"!
Han Yu privately contacted the members of Girls' Generation, causing them to leave Leon Entertainment one by one.Even though Girls’ Generation’s popularity declines, they are still SM’s biggest economic pillar. Coupled with their huge reputation, Han Yu has moved away the entire facade of SM’s family. For the rest, TVXQ has long been out of favor. Furthermore, neither the new nor the old regiments have achieved success.

After careful calculation, it is not too much to say that Han Yu is copying SM's background.

Sitting in the car heading to Incheon Airport, Han Yu looked out of the car window and thought for a long time, and finally took out his mobile phone from his arms and called Yin Zhi.

"I thought you should be on your way to catch a plane by now."

The familiar cold female voice soon came to his ears, the tone sounded as flat as ever, but in this increasingly cold late autumn night, Han Yu felt an inexplicable warmth in his heart.

He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, then in the soft light of the car, he said softly with his mobile phone: "Yes... I am indeed on my way to catch a plane."

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then Yin Zhi's calm voice came again:
"what happened?"

He didn't ask about the result of the conversation with Sunny, and he didn't say some polite words of congratulations on the award like others. President Yin Da's style has always been so simple and rude, straight to the point.

She knew that there must be something wrong with Han Yu calling her.

Do not go to the Temple of Three Treasures for nothing, this sentence is sometimes put on men, it is almost equivalent to a derogatory term.

At least even Yin Zhi himself would not believe that the man who was talking to him on the other end of the phone at this time would be chatting with him for nothing.

If this was the case, maybe she would keep her face calm while meeting her, but she would feel a burst of surprise in her heart.

"Well... After I talked with Sunny just now, the negotiation has come to fruition."

However, Han Yu's next answer without hesitation still shattered the faint expectation that might exist in Yin Zhi's heart.

On the other side of the phone, the bright and charming face seemed to be a bit colder in an instant. Yin Zhi didn't stay silent for too long. After a few seconds, he held the phone in one hand, lowered his head and continued to work, asking: "Looking at your reaction, it seems that we can't gather all nine people."

"That's right... After finally drawing with Taeyeon, Xiuyan also calmed down, and she acquiesced to our behavior. But now it seems that my original idea was a little too ideal."

Han Yu's voice on the phone was very soft, a little hoarse, and seemed to be slightly tired.

The continuous work for several months, the many problems of himself and the people around him, and the constant running back and forth in the past few days have brought a lot of mental and physical burden to him.

As if hearing the imperceptible weariness in his words, Yin paused slightly for the pen that was constantly writing in his hand, and then his voice gradually softened quietly.

Holding the phone, she still sounded nonchalant and asked, "So, what's the result?"

"She wants to stay in SM, she is very firm. I can't convince her."

Even the Boss said in person that she couldn't convince her. As a qualified subordinate, Yin Zhi would naturally not say anything against her suggestion of sending professionals to lobby. She just nodded lightly, and then asked: "What else?" ?”

The possibility that Sunny will not leave SM has long been anticipated in their plan, and Han Yu has no reason to call himself specifically for this matter.

"But... Sunny has a proposal."

"She wants to sign a separate group contract with us?" Yin Zhi asked directly with no surprise on his face.

Han Yu on the other end of the phone chuckled immediately in the car, and then said: "Sure enough. I find that compared to Sunny and the others, even compared to you, who has been in the entertainment industry for a shorter time than me, my The performance is also more like a complete outsider. It seems that I am really not suitable to be the president."

"As the president, you only need to tell the people under you what you want to do, and we will help you complete the rest." Yin Zhi said holding the phone without changing his face, "Otherwise ...and why do people climb to high positions?"

Han Yu was obviously taken aback, and then he couldn't help laughing again after a while, his originally low tone seemed to be relaxed for a moment.

"Yes...you are right. It seems that if I want to live a more comfortable life in the future, I cannot do without you."

Here, the "you" in Han Yu's mouth should refer to "you", but when Yin Zhi heard this, he pursed his red lips imperceptibly, and the pen in his hand stopped again.

No matter, just treat it as this guy's "overtime pay" for his hard work every day during this time.Anyway, there is no second person to hear it, so I followed all these words by myself.

Under the cold and beautiful face that did not change in the slightest, thoughts unknown to outsiders echoed silently in his heart, and Yin Zhi continued to review the documents with his head bowed silently.

"So, what are you going to do now?"

Han Yu on the other end of the phone smiled wryly, and said, "Now it's not what I want, it's what SM wants. Also, I was reminded by Sunny just now, and I remembered one thing...we hope to get the 'Girls' Generation 'The name?"

"There are very few things in the world that are priceless. If SM really cares about profit as rumored, then we have great confidence to buy this name from it." Yin Zhi immediately gave a reply , she has already considered this matter, "The question now is how much we have to pay, that is, how big is SM's appetite."

"How much do you think SM will ask for?" Han Yu asked.

"It's hard to say." Yin Zhi replied honestly, "Although our people have rich experience, because LJ's business has never been involved in entertainment projects before, it is difficult for us to estimate. Most importantly, there is It's kind of weird."

"what's up?"

"I did some research and found that SM has not trademarked the name 'Girls' Generation' for so many years." Yin Zhi, who is used to American companies' style of focusing on their own property rights, obviously finds it difficult to understand SM's approach.

"It doesn't seem to be surprising." Han Yu was not surprised. He shook his head while sitting in the car, "I heard that Shinhwa's experience was the same. The names of idol groups are not like other commercial brands, even if SM does not Register, it still has the unique right to use it, and when it comes to critical moments, this dispensable thing will become a handy tool for brokerage companies to clamp down on artists."

"Or the best means of revenge."

After listening to Han Yu's words, Yin Zhi didn't continue to explore this kind of matter, and there was a different kind of indifference in his unwavering Qingyue voice: "I feel that you Koreans seem to have a special narrow-mindedness. Even if you I have already squeezed enough benefits from others, and I will take the trouble to bite the other person again, as if I am the one who is sorry."

"What 'you Koreans'?" Han Yu burst into laughter suddenly, and said seriously, "I have at least half of the same Chinese blood as you!"

"After tonight, you, the Qinglong actor, will become a 'Korean' through and through. Even if you are not, you have to be." Yin Zhi didn't care about his boss's face at all, and said every word.

Han Yu, who was sitting in the car, laughed again, and didn't say anything after thinking about it.

Maybe Yin Zhi didn't know the many twists and turns behind his award tonight, but the title of best actor was indeed worn on his head.

Not long ago, after learning the truth from Pu Buhua, Han Yu hung up the phone without further words.

He still has nothing to say to his group of relatives who are truly blood-related, and he doesn't want to foolishly ask for a "fair selection".

There is no fairness in this world, and there is no free reaping.

You get, you have to give.

Even...it was something that was forced into your arms by someone else.

"By the way, I just have something to mention to you."

"what's up?"

Suddenly, Yin Zhi spoke again.

"Girls' Generation Kwon Yuri has a birthday in a few days, do you know about that?"

"I know, what's wrong?"

"The job-hopping conditions that she negotiated with us are very simple, in line with her future development path as an actor, the salary is the same as SM, but there is one..."

Yin Zhi's tone became very strange.

"She asked you to have a candlelight dinner with her on her birthday, just the two of you, alone."

Suddenly, Han Yu froze when he heard the words.
