Wang's Korean entertainment

Chapter 1273 Li Xiuman's Confidence
"President, are you ready to agree to this?"

Facing Jin Yingmin's somewhat urgent question, Li Xiuman's reaction was exceptionally calm.

He leaned forward, picked up the cup of warm tea in front of him without haste, and put down the cup after taking two sips. He said lightly, "Don't worry, the company is my company. What decisions will be made that are not good for the company."

"But……"

"Do you know why I seriously consider that silly boy's proposal?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this sudden question, Jin Yingmin couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Seeing Kim Young Min whose thinking has not caught up with him for a while, Li Xiuman showed a weird smile on his face, "If Baekhyun from EXO and Taeyeon from Girls' Generation are in love, and the news gets out, do you think the outside world will react? How is it?"

"This..." Jin Yingmin frowned and said tentatively, "Should it cause a big commotion?"

"That's right! It's a big sensation!"

Li Xiuman's voice suddenly raised a little, he excitedly pointed Kim Youngmin with his finger, and then said in a firm and deep voice: "This news will cause a 'big explosion'! Everyone's attention will be drawn! EXO and Girls' Generation The combined effect is enough for the two of them to completely occupy the headlines of all entertainment news!"

Jin Yingmin seemed to finally understand Li Xiuman's intentions, but he still couldn't understand why Li Xiuman took this approach.

"But, President, this is too risky... If we make a mistake, we may destroy both groups at the same time! Both sides are popular artists, especially Baekhyun, who has grown into a popular artist in the past two years." Not bad male idol, Taeyeon will definitely be attacked like crazy."

Kim Young-min's concerns are not without reason.

You know, in the entertainment circle, it can be said that more than 90.00% of the fans of young male idols are female fans, and most of them are still young.

Fans like this are often the most troublesome type.

Not to mention young and vigorous, each one of them is like the little female leopard protecting the food, baring its teeth and claws, and is extremely aggressive.

Although Taeyeon is a big senior and has accumulated fans for many years, but if the two sides are really torn apart, it is really hard for Kim Youngmin to say which side will win.

More importantly, no matter which side wins, it seems that it is not worth the loss.

Both sides will be attacked crazily, and this damage will also spread to SM company.

It was because of this concern that Jin Yingmin tried so hard to dissuade Li Xiuman at this moment.

He wasn't worried that Taeyeon and Baekhyun would be hurt because of this, but he was worried that there would be an uncontrollable black tide, which would cause considerable losses to the company.

However, Li Xiuman, who quietly listened to Jin Yingmin's words, did not intend to change his decision. He glanced at Jin Yingmin from the corner of his eye and said, "I understand what you mean. But have you forgotten?" , even Anti is a kind of fan. In the circle we live in, being noticed is never a bad thing, being forgotten is the real thing to be afraid of.”

It's this theory again.

Jin Yingmin couldn't help but sighed secretly, he lowered his head, frowning in thought.

"If I remember correctly, Baekhyun is quite popular among so many members of EXO, but he has always lacked decent personal exposure, right?"

Li Xiuman, who was sitting leisurely on the sofa, understood the hesitation that still existed in Kim Youngmin's heart at a glance, and continued to say: "As the face of SM's new generation boy group, how to keep EXO's good momentum and continue to develop is what we must do right now. One thing to consider. If they can be brought to the attention of more people through a simple gossip, that would be a good thing."

Hearing Li Xiuman's words, Jin Yingmin smiled wryly.

It is certain that it will get more people's attention, but whether this kind of attention is wrapped in turbulent malice or will become a boost to EXO's popularity growth, that is another matter.

"Of course, getting Baekhyun to increase his personal exposure, and even raise EXO's popularity, is just an incidental thing. What I'm really thinking about... is actually Taeyeon. She appears in the public eye as the captain of Girls' Generation. For a long time, I thought, it's time for her to appear in everyone's eyes as an individual, as an artist Taeyeon."

Li Xiuman's words made Jin Yingmin stunned again.

"What? Did you forget? After we get that person's permission to kick Jessica out of Girls' Generation, we can officially start dismantling the number one girl group in history."

When Li Xiuman said this, his voice was very soft. He picked up the teacup on the table again, and while drinking, he narrowed his eyes behind his glasses.

"Don't occupy the space for expired products that can't be sold. When it's time to take off the shelves, we should take them off. However, before processing, we can squeeze out a little residual value, such as 'discount promotions' and the like ?hehe……"

Jin Yingmin sat upright and pursed her lips, her face silent.

He knew exactly what Li Xiuman meant by these words, SM has been using Girls' Generation's remaining popularity this year to finally get a considerable profit.

He also knows that when the company launches a new girl group Red Velvet at the end of the year, the company will "put Girls' Generation, who has helped the company from its development stage to its peak stage," "into the sidelines."

Perhaps the approach will not be as decisive as it was with Tianshang Zhixi back then, but Girls' Generation will inevitably end up being gradually forgotten in the future.

SM's business strategy has always been like this. In the same era and in the same field, they will only focus on one target. For example, after the launch of EXO, the company's boy group resources seldom lean towards SJ and TVXQ, and even only The same goes for SHINee, who debuted four years earlier than EXO.

If you can't climb to the top, or slowly slip from the top, you will only end up being abandoned.

Tiantian Zhixi, f(x), SHINee... There have been too many idol combinations of SM throughout the ages, all of which are proving SM's ruthless management principle.

And now, it's finally Girls' Generation's turn.

SM has always had a high tolerance for boy groups, that’s because the fans of boy groups have always been long-lasting, not to mention, let’s talk about the fan group of “Shith Creation”, which has been with them for 16 years.

However, girl groups are different. As they get older, the former beauty is no longer there. It is hard to say which girl group can maintain popularity for 16 years like Shinhwa. This has no precedent in the entertainment industry.

Therefore, as Li Xiuman said, the products that should be taken off the shelves must be taken down after all, the difference is only in the different ways.

Due to the particularity of Girls' Generation, Lee Soo Man and SM Company don't mind using some special soft methods.

"Taeyeon, and Yoona, the two of them are the most valuable part of this 'expired commodity', even if we officially disband Girls' Generation, or officially abandon Girls' Generation, the two of them must stay The trump card in the company. So, there is nothing wrong with cultivating their personal influence from now on. Anyway, in our plan, isn’t Taeyeon going to start a solo solo next year? As the captain of SNS, she was too It's too low-key, now it's time to catch her alone and show her in front of everyone."

Regarding the statement given by Li Xiuman, Jin Yingmin actually still has a lot of objections. He thinks that Li Xiuman's ideas are too taken for granted, even if he wants to increase his personal exposure, such an approach is too radical.

This may be the difference caused by the different concepts of individuals.

Li Xiuman has always adhered to the theory that "black fans are also fans", so in his opinion, even if it is such a scandal that can be predicted to cause huge waves, after considering the possible benefits, he still insists on doing it.

Jin Yingmin could even guess what Li Xiuman was thinking about the whole thing.

The big deal is that if you really can't control it at that time, let the two break up. Anyway, no matter how noisy the fans are, the result is nothing more than this, and there will be no loss if you give it a try. As for the feelings of the two parties, Does that matter?

In Li Xiuman's eyes, Kim Taeyeon and Byun Baekhyun are not two people, but two tools that can bring benefits to the company. No one will consider the feelings of the tools. Does it mean that they still have the power to resist?
This is SM, this is Lee Soo Man.

Jin Yingmin felt emotional, and didn't try to say any words of dissuasion, and turned to think about other issues.

"What if we do this... What if it arouses that person's resentment?"

It can be seen that when Jin Yingmin mentioned "that person", his tone was a little cautious, and he subconsciously raised one hand to touch his forehead.

He seemed to still feel a faint pain.

"This matter was originally out of his control. It was agreed in the contract that we have full control over the management of Girls' Generation. Besides, didn't we report to him once when Yooner fell in love? Since he can be so tolerant even about Yoona's love affairs, what is a Kim Taeyeon? I guess in the whole boyhood, the only person he cares about is Yoona."

Regarding Jin Yingmin's question, Li Xiuman also seemed to have a draft in his mind, and threw out an answer without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Jin Yingmin nodded silently in agreement.

Through these years of dealings, they thought they had touched the real bottom line of that person, and thought that he only cared about Yoona from the beginning to the end. Thinking about it this way, the matter between Taeyeon and Baekhyun seems to be really nothing Appropriate reason for blocking.

"Then... I will seriously consider this matter when I go back."

At this moment, Kim Youngmin thought of something again, and said hesitantly, "Do you think that person will agree with our proposal to remove Jessica from Girls' Generation?"

"What reason does he have to disagree? Even if he is interested in Jessica in his heart, as long as we tell him that Jessica has a boyfriend in private, he will definitely not mind if we 'clean up' her for him. Is such that."

Li Xiuman shook his head, looking as if he was sure of winning. He squinted his eyes and stared at the empty air in front of him, and muttered to himself: "I said earlier, SM doesn't need disobedient people. And, also No one can change the company's development plan, no one..."
