Wang's Korean entertainment

Chapter 955 Do you want to sign Girls' Generation?
"According to statistics, yesterday's airing of the tenth episode of "Dear Eun Dong" shows that the national ratings have reached 14.6%, and it is basically foreseeable that it will exceed 15% next week."

"At this level, according to our speculation, maybe we can really touch the status of the annual trend of "Producer". After all, there is a big gap between JTBC and KBS..."

"Snapped!"

With the sound of his capable speech lowered strangely, a plain white palm suddenly slammed a file folder on the desk in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a cold female voice that could not hear too much emotion faintly passed into his ears——

"Are you right... Boss?"

The hand that was originally on the chin touched his upper lip with his slender fingers. Han Yu glanced at Yin Zhi who was sitting behind the desk and raised his eyebrows at him with a slightly cold expression. The handsome man who has gradually matured recently There was a helpless smile on his face.

"Cough... Got it, I'm not distracted."

Sitting up straight, he tidied up his clothes by the way, and said to his female agent with some intention of hiding, "I'm listening to you carefully."

"...So, are you listening to me carefully, and by the way—thinking about your own business?"

The sun at eight or nine in the morning is just right.

A large piece of golden and soft sunlight poured into this extremely spacious top-level office from the floor-to-ceiling windows, warmly shining on the two people who were sitting opposite each other on the huge mahogany desk in the center of the office.

He casually took off the pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and rubbed the center of his brows with his slender fingers like a headache.

Yin Zhi looked at someone with a definitely not good-looking face, and said in a faintly hostile tone: "Boss, no, Mr. President, listen carefully to the work reports of your subordinates. This is also the work attitude that a superior should have."

"This one……"

When his female manager said this, Han Yu folded his hands in an unnatural manner, and leaned back on the back of the chair with a little embarrassment, "I'm actually not... well, sorry, next time I will Will pay attention."

He was still thinking about defending himself, but as soon as his eyes touched the clear light in Yin Zhi's eyes, he still wisely chose to change his words and simply admitted his mistake.

However, after saying this, Han Yu remembered something again, and the expression on his face became inexplicably complicated and hesitant.

He hesitated to look at Yin Zhi who was sitting opposite him, and before he could say anything, he heard the female manager who was processing the documents with her head down said casually: "If you have anything to say, just say it, it's rare that you have time to come today." A trip to the company allows us to speak clearly face to face, saving us from having to call and waste time afterwards."

"That..." After hearing Yin Zhi's very personal speech, Han Yu smiled wryly for no reason. After thinking about it, he still hesitated and asked: "Manager Yin, I want to ask , is our company's resources in girl groups... still sufficient?"

The back of the white hand showed faint blue veins in the sun, holding a delicate pen firmly in the palm of the hand, the vigorous yet delicate handwriting paused on the paper.

Yin Zhi raised his head and glanced at him, "Women's group?"

With a questioning tone in his tone, the gold-rimmed glasses placed beside him were picked up and put on again.

"Uh-huh."

Han Yu raised his hand and scratched his forehead, and the unconsciously lowered face made the charming peach blossom eyes on the opposite side narrow slightly, as if he saw some traces.

"Um... not bad. There's really not much room left."

After thinking about it, Yin Zhi still suppressed the curiosity in his heart, but glanced at Han Yu with a little doubt in his eyes, then lowered his head and continued to process his documents, explaining for someone: "The new girl group It’s about to debut soon, and the company also has an old-fashioned girl group like T-ara. Generally speaking, an entertainment company rarely promotes two artist groups of the same type with the same intensity. So even if the resources It is not enough, the company is now discussing within the company, which side should the resources be inclined in the future... But, Boss, why are you asking this?"

After listening to Yin Zhi's explanation, although he had already thought of this in his heart, a deep distressed look could not help but flash across his brows.

Han Yu frowned slightly, sat in his seat and thought for a while, then pursed his lips, heaved a sigh of relief, and replied softly to his female manager: "It's okay...just, I want to know if the company has any more The ability to accommodate the next girl group."

"Accommodating another girl group? Why is it so..."

Suddenly.

As if realizing something, the tip of the pen stopped on the smooth paper again.

Yin Zhi frowned subconsciously, and raised his face to meet the pair of complex black eyes not far in front of him, and there was a little unbelievable surprise in his tone:
"You... want Girls' Generation?"

To be honest, Han Yu wasn't too surprised that his female manager could guess his thoughts so easily.

He just nodded, and suddenly looked straight at Yin Zhi's frowning face with a very solemn expression, and asked, "If I want it, is there a possibility of it?"

Yin Zhi immediately fell silent when he heard the words.

She pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, then quickly picked up the cap of the pen and tightened it tightly, then sat up straight for a while, looked at Han Yu seriously, and said: "Tell me the cause and effect of the matter." Tell me carefully... Boss, you didn't suddenly think it was fun, did you want to do this?"

Han Yu smiled helplessly when he heard the words.

Speaking of which, among the people who knew him well, Manager Yin should be one of the top few people in terms of understanding his character.

Thinking of this in his mind, his thoughts involuntarily returned to the conversation he had with Xu Xian downstairs at her house last night...

……

"general speaking."

"The company is ready to abandon us."

"This year's return is the last time to let go and invest, and it is also the last chance. If the results fail to meet expectations...it will be over."

Facing his sudden and puzzled stare, Xu Xian looked very calm, and she explained to him some situations that no one outside knew about in a language as calm and concise as possible:

"To put it bluntly, the company's expectation of us is not just as simple as a few people on the stage."

"Maybe this is the sequelae of being a top artist group. The past glory will make others demand you with a higher standard."

"Of course, it might be too serious to call it 'abandoning'. In fact, it is nothing more than the traditional process...gradually tilting resources towards the new regiment, and then gradually marginalizing us."

"It's not enough to say that the snow hides us. After all, the foundation of the past is still there, but the reality is that the company will no longer pay attention to us."

After quietly listening to Xu Xian's words, under the night, Han Yu looked a little dazed and inexplicable for a while.

He opened his mouth, his eyes met Xu Xian's clear eyes looking at him, and his brows frowned involuntarily.

Xu Xian's words have already explained the ins and outs of the matter very clearly, and the stakes in this can be understood very clearly even if they are not in the circle.

He lowered his head and pondered for a while, then looked at Xu Xian with a slight frown, and asked straight to the point: "So...Xiao Xian, why are you telling me this now?"

"Brother, haven't you already guessed it in your heart?"

Xu Xian paused, then looked at Han Yu seriously, and said in a tone of not knowing if it was a suggestion: "I want to ask you, brother, if you are interested in...signing Girls' Generation?"

Suddenly.

The vague thought in my heart was truly confirmed.

Han Yu took a deep breath and didn't answer Xu Xian's question immediately. Instead, after thinking about it for a while, he looked at the girl with complicated eyes and asked, "Xiao Xian, I roughly understand what you mean... However, there is still one thing I can't understand. What you said before was only based on the premise that your comeback this time was not successful. In fact, what if your comeback is successful this time? Then..."

"Almost, impossible."

Before he finished speaking, the girl sitting on the stone chair in front of him shook her head very rarely and interrupted him, and said in a very firm tone: "For our own works, we will naturally have our own works in our hearts. Let me tell you the truth, brother, this time the comeback song is not particularly good, everyone in our group knows this in their hearts. In addition, this is actually not a problem related to the quality of the work. Because no matter what How about... Our failure has actually been decided long ago."

"Ok?"

The whole person couldn't help being stunned for a moment, Han Yu frowned slightly, and looked at her with some puzzlement.

"The so-called success is just an empty concept." Xu Xian looked at him and said softly: "Compared with the new group... We, who are incomplete members, are like so many predecessors in the past. It is undeniable , popularity is going downhill, and our age is doomed that the few of us can no longer continue bouncing on the stage like we did when we were teenagers."

"I said directly, in fact, this return is said to be the last attempt, but it is more like a symbolic explanation from the company. Before doing this, in the minds of those in the company, I have left the impression that 'Girls' Generation has fallen'. So unless there is a situation like the general trend of the whole people, it can be delayed for another year or two, otherwise, the situation I mentioned before is almost an inevitable result."

"After this comeback, if the facts are as the company expected, we will no longer be able to carry the banner... The name 'Girls' Generation' will continue to exist only as a false name. The company may disperse each of our members. Come, according to the previous business positioning, redefine the direction of our development."

"In fact, before this return, the company has already started to do these things."

"Yoona Oni, Sooyoung Oni, Yuli Oni have almost all received new dramas, and I have starred in two musicals myself, the variety shows that Sunny Oni and Hyoyeon Oni are preparing recently, and Paneo Ni and Taeyeon Unni are also preparing for their solo."

As she said that, a faint bitter smile finally appeared on Xu Xian's face. She lowered her head and murmured in a low voice: "From this point of view, it seems that the company still misses the old relationship... However, it is precisely because We have worked together for so many years, so we are more aware of the "ruthless" side of the company. Let alone according to this development, it is not appropriate for us to continue to stay in the company... On the other hand, staying in a company that does not value ourselves Does your company have any meaning to an artist?"

Han Yu was silent for a while when he heard the words, but there was still not much emotion on his face. He thought for a while and asked another question: "This matter...Yun'er and the others never mentioned it to me."

"Because of this matter, Yoona Unnie and Taeyeon Unnie probably don't know about it yet."

Hearing his words, Xu Xian suddenly smiled again, and that smile looked a little bit differently beautiful.

She winked playfully at someone rarely, and said: "Maybe people who focus more on their careers will not pay attention to these things like us. Like Taeyeon and others, although the popularity ranks the highest in the group , but it may be the other way around. The company tries to hide it from them even more before it actually happens. In the group, the only people who know the news should be me, Xiuying Unnie, Hyoyeon Unni, and Sunny Unnie. The news is what Sunny Unnie told us, and she told us not to tell Taeyeon Unnie and the others for the time being. As for Yuli Oni, I think she should have heard some rumors... That's why she has been working so desperately recently Just focus on acting."

After hearing Xu Xian's explanation, for no reason, Han Yu suddenly thought of Cui Xiuying when he was recording "Running Man" earlier.

At that time, he felt that although it was normal for artists to want to express themselves more in front of the camera, he still felt that Cui Xiuying's performance seemed a bit too much.

It wasn't until he heard what Xu Xian said that he suddenly understood... Maybe, at that time, that tall girl who didn't impress him too much was secretly working hard on him for this reason. with.

"If it's you, brother...you should be able to do it."

Seohyun in front of him said again: "I said these things to you brother today, not only because of me, but also because of the careers of other members, but also because of the glory of Girls' Generation. I think no matter which member of our group , will not be willing to simply give up... I believe in you, brother, only you can solve this matter."

Han Yu couldn't help looking up, but saw Xu Xian's eyes seemed to be shining with a bright light that he had never seen before.

It's like... at sunrise, the sun's first ray of light bursting from the horizon far above the sea.

……

"so……"

The metal pen body was turning between her fingers, and Yin Zhiqing's cold and beautiful face showed a faint look of thought. She raised her hand to support the glasses on the bridge of her nose, stared at Han Yu, and asked in a consulting tone: "Boss, do you mean that you want to accept Miss Xu Xian's request?"

"That's not a request, but... something I think I should do."

Han Yu frowned slightly, looked at his female manager solemnly, and said: "A considerable part of the reason why I went to the United States at the beginning was because of Yuner and the others. Now that I have entered the entertainment industry and bought this company, it is also That's it. It can be said that the most fundamental purpose of the things we have done, or the things I ask you to do, is for Yuner and the others. Now, when it is time to really use our previous preparations, what do you think , what attitude should I take to face this matter?"

"Then... let's try."

Hearing what Han Yu said, the expression on Yin Zhi's face did not change much, but the pen turning between her fingers paused imperceptibly, and then she said without thinking.

"Huh? Really?"

"Well. Since you have already decided, Boss, of course I have no objection. However, there is one most difficult thing now."

"The most difficult part?" Han Yu asked.

"Well. Even if we can sign Ms. Yoona and the others...'Girls' Generation' will no longer exist."

Yin Zhi nodded slightly, and while lowering his head to reprocess the documents, he glanced at someone who was slightly stunned with his indifferent eyes, and said without any ups and downs: "This name, the chances we can get it , close to zero."

With a simple sentence, Han Yu understood the meaning.

So, for a while, the atmosphere around the desk seemed a little stagnant and silent.

"Ring Ling Ling..."

A hasty bell rang.

Yin Zhi picked up the microphone of the landline on one side of the table without looking at it, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?"

After a few seconds.

She raised her head to meet the gaze in front of her, hooked the corners of her lips, and said:

"The nanny's car has arrived downstairs... It's almost time, you should go, Miss Jessica is still waiting for you."
