Chapter 175
Chapter 175
Although the SM family support for TVXQ in Seoul was very touching, but I have to say that after the Shanghai show, the SM staff looked at the two TVXQ differently.Overseas has always been SM's biggest source of income. After more than a year of absence and the toss of the three members who left the team, their popularity in China is still almost the same as when they were at their peak.And SM people are also very familiar with the routine of abusing fans. After this injury, Fan will only be more loyal and affectionate.It is almost equivalent to making more money.Although this is cruel, the respected seniors and the company's spiritual symbol are always not as important as making money.
After returning to Korea from Shanghai, Jung Yunho and Shen Changmin started preparations for their comeback album.And such news naturally reached JYJ's ears through his acquaintances in SM.
Moods are naturally complicated.Although TVXQ's name was abandoned by them, but people's psychology is so strange, they don't want to see others own things that they don't want.but--
"Sooner or later, there will be a day when TVXQ will come back. I never thought that only what I did before would make Yunho give up. Then it's not Jung Yunho." Park Yoochun comforted the other two.
"Then what should we do now? Shall we do something to stop it?" Jin Junxiu asked.
Jin Zaizhong looked up at him, but didn't speak.
"Now is not the right opportunity. The best action will be when they come back officially. The most important thing for us now is the world tour." Park Yoochun analyzed calmly.
"But, didn't we talk about it with Ai Hui last time?" Jin Zaizhong said hesitantly, "Why don't we just forget it and persuade Brother Baek Changsu to follow what Ai Hui said."
"Are you kidding? When we first joined C-JeS, we had already agreed to help them launder money. Otherwise, why would you give us such a large signing bonus?" Jin Junxiu was a little annoyed: "Ai Hui is also strange, overseas tour They don’t have to bear anything for money laundering and they can get the proceeds for nothing. Why do they still object? And they actually want us to sign a contract with them independently without C-JeS. Do you think we are fools? If you sign a contract with Ai Hui alone, you have to listen to Ai Hui’s arrangements. , there is not even a company that can fight against them.”
"They will accept it." Park Yoochun was full of confidence: "They have already fallen out with SM, sold off SM's stock, and Girls' Generation has also been signed to Universal. After paying so much to sign us, if even we Give up, and they get nothing. Smart people know how to choose."
At this time, Ai Hui is urgently convening an interim board meeting to discuss issues related to JYJ.
"...the three members tended to their Korean agency C-JeS, and proposed a plan to jointly hold a world tour with Ai Hui Company. Some cities in the planned tour were considered impossible to guarantee attendance, but the other party proposed that they could Buying tickets from C-JeS guarantees that our company can get the corresponding proportion of income according to the full capacity. Because the source of funds of C-JeS is involved in gangsters, our department believes that this move will involve our company in the position of helping Korean associations to launder money. But three One member insisted on the tour plan, said that if Ai Hui had no intention of joining, they would hold their own world tour concert and rejected our offer of an exclusive contract that excluded C-JeS."
The head of the office in charge of the operation of JYJ's brokerage affairs reports to the board of directors.
"I heard that their Korean agency has connections with right-wing groups in Japan, is that President Matsuura?" a director challenged.
"When we signed them, we gave them a large signing bonus to sign the full contract, but because the Korean contract has not been resolved, we only signed Japan. At the beginning, the talks were very good. They themselves said that the songs they played during SM I can’t sing, if I go overseas, I can only sing Ai Hui’s songs, so I will definitely not leave Ai Hui behind. Now that I have released a new album in Korea, are you confident?”
"And it has not stopped promoting the cosmetics business to fans in Japan. After the audio and video were exposed, there were many complaints from fans, which also had a great impact on Ai Hui's image."
"Although we don't have strict management over artists like Johnny's, we can't allow artists to tarnish the company's reputation, can we? Besides, the company won't get any profit."
"I also lost SM's friendship. Girls' Generation's meet and greet in Tokyo a few days ago was very popular. Akira and Boa have decided not to renew their contract with Aihui. In the future, SM's combination will also cooperate with competitors, It no longer belongs to Ai Hui. The potential loss is huge~"
"Yes, yes, and TVXQ is going to return to Japan. When the time comes to fight JYJ in the ring, some fans will definitely go to them. There is no benefit of exclusive TVXQ bonus that I proposed to sign with JYJ at the beginning~"
……
When it comes to the experience of being cheated with blood in just a few months after signing JYJ, the directors complained a lot.I thought I could take advantage of the chaos in SM to pick up leaks, but who knew that what I picked up was not a treasure but a big trouble!This is not picking up leaks, it's obviously stepping on shit!
Katsuto Matsuura listened to Ai Hui's director complain without saying a word, his heart bursting with anger.He was not the only one who made this decision. Didn't the board of directors think it was a good opportunity to agree collectively, and then he carried it out?Now that the follow-up problem is troublesome, I will put all the responsibility on him.Katsuto Matsuura wanted to scold people, but he also knew that all the boards of directors in the world had this kind of virtue, and they were smoother than anyone else in shirking responsibility.Once he said that signing JYJ wasn't also the board's decision?They will definitely say that there is nothing wrong with the decision, the fault is that they did not implement it well, leading to the failure of a good plan and so on.
So he endured until the directors' complaints came to an end, and then patiently persuaded them: "The image problem can be handled by the public relations department. Whether the artist's image is good or bad, half of it depends on the company's packaging, doesn't it? I I don’t think this is a big problem. If it’s about money laundering, wouldn’t Ai Hui not participate in JYJ’s overseas activities and not allow them to use Ai Hui’s released songs outside the occasions authorized by Ai Hui? I have to remind everyone Directors, the price paid for signing JYJ is very high, and we have not yet recovered the cost. We chose JYJ when we gave up SM, and if we give up now, we will have nothing."
One of the directors asked sharply: "If there is a problem found, the company must be investigated. President Matsuura, the company is a listed company, how much impact will this kind of scandal involving black money laundering have on the stock price? The company's market value How much will it evaporate? Have you considered it?"
It is a common phenomenon in the entertainment industry to be involved in gangsters.But those who have achieved the level of Aihui and listed on the market have been successfully cleaned up without leaving any grounds for others to catch.Getting involved with money laundering is definitely not worth the loss.Even though Ai Hui's finances are tight now, there are still some things that cannot be touched.
"Besides, such an artist who is easy to cause trouble, who knows what kind of troubles will be caused in the future!"
Katsuto Matsuura was silent.
At this time, Vice President Chiba Ryuhei broke the deadlock: "Actually, I have a proposal: How about reuniting with SM?"
Everyone looked at him in shock.
Chiba Ryuhei looked around with a relaxed smile: "In business and business, as long as we can convince SM and Ai Hui to join forces again, it will be in their best interest. The past will naturally not cause trouble. After all, TVXQ's Japanese contract is still with us. In hand, it will not be easy for SM to dissolve the process with us. They also have to weigh whether TVXQ can afford another lawsuit, right?"
"Then...who is going to talk to SM?" a director asked hesitantly.But in fact, I already understood it in my heart.
"It was my suggestion, of course I will go." Qianye Longping accepted the order happily: "I have a good personal relationship with Li Xiumansang. If I go to him, I should not be refused to meet him."
"Then please leave it to Vice President Chiba~" The directors heaved a sigh of relief.
Katsuto Matsuura clenched his hands: This cunning guy...
When Chiba Ryuhei flew to South Korea to apologize and repair the relationship with SM, Jung Yunho was taking stock of the final proceeds of "Heading the Earth" with Jin Eunhe.
"Heading the Earth" caught up with the aftermath of football after the World Cup, coupled with the ferment of word of mouth, the box office rose very well, although the "Uncle" starring Yuan Bin, which was released on August 8th, blocked all the movies. presence.But at that time, "Heading the Earth" had been released for almost 4 days and was about to be released, so it had little impact.In the end, the number of movie viewers in South Korea reached 20 million.Based on the calculation of a ticket for Korean movies, which costs 313 won on weekdays and 8000 won on weekends, the box office is about 9000 billion won.And there are overseas box office.
"Japan's box office revenue is 2.3 million yen. According to the introduction agreement we signed at the beginning, the producer will get 25% of the box office revenue, which is..." Zheng Yunhao checked the report, pressed the calculator, and muttered: " 5750 million yen. Well, including the South Korean revenue, the producer will get a total of about 90 billion won."
"Wait, wait. Why? Didn't you just say that Japan's box office is 5750 million and South Korea's box office is 264 billion. Did you jump a few steps in the middle?" Jin Eunhe interrupted Zheng Yunhao's calculation with a look of bewilderment.
Zheng Yunhao patiently explained: "Introduced film producers share 25% of the box office, and Korean local producers get one-third of the box office after tax, right? The exchange rate ratio between Japanese yen and Korean won is about 1:10. And then tax is deducted." .The tax rate in Japan is...the tax rate in Korea is..."
After Balabala for a while, Jin En and the two were stunned, feeling even more confused.
郑允浩的计算还在继续:“电影的总投资是6.7亿韩元。前期我和你都没有收钱。你的导演和编剧身份,按20%分红。我的主演身份分红5%,投资分红50%。金基德老师作为制片主任分红5%。JYP投资分红20%……”
Jin Enhe stared at the stars, and his three faces were confused: "Just tell me the conclusion directly... I don't need details..."
Zheng Yunhao looked up and saw the blank expression on his wife's face, he felt as if he saw the windless and automatic hair on her head, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke her head.But Jin Eunhe didn't resist at all, and stared at him blankly, as if he hadn't woken up from the series of digital bombardment just now.
After he had enjoyed enough of his wife's rare cuteness to his heart's content, he told her: "The result is that you have about 12 billion won in the account this time."
"Oh...it feels about the same as my income from accepting a Korean movie...but the director is much more tired than the actors. It's not worth it to think about it~" Jin Eunhe pondered for a long time and came to such a conclusion.
Zheng Yunhaomo, he earned 32 billion won this time, which is almost the same as the entire income of his idol career.Looking at it this way...he is much poorer than his wife...
----
Pushing this idea out of his mind, Zheng Yunhao continued to take inventory: "Of course there is also the release of DVDs. The sales in Japan and South Korea are good. They also won the first place in the Oricon weekly chart. But the division of DVDs will be more complicated... oh, By the way, there is also an OST disc of the movie..."
"Ah! Ah... I suddenly remembered that I don't know how much money I have in my account." Jin Enhe hurriedly stood up and ran back to the room: "I'll check it~~"
Zheng Yunhao watched his wife run away in a panic, looked down at the things in his hands, and was at a loss: he didn't seem to say anything just now?
After a while, Jin Eunhe suddenly ran out again, and said to Zheng Yunhao in surprise: "Brother Yunhao, I actually have 137.4 billion won and 3.4 million yen now!"
Zheng Yunhao did a little mental calculation: "1360 million US dollars."
"I actually have so much money?!" Jin Eunhe was stunned (⊙o⊙)
"...Did you not know how much money you have before?" Zheng Yunhao was also stunned: "How do you usually live?"
"When shopping...swipe the card...it's...okay...ah~" Jin Enhe felt a little guilty for no reason, and then wondered why she was guilty!Immediately he became confident again: "Anyway, there will be no problem of insufficient balance!"
"So... you just let such a large sum of money lie in the bank to rot? You never thought about investing it?" Zheng Yunhao was powerless.At least he bought a house.
Jin and musing.It is obvious that such a sentence is written on the face: What is investment?Does it have something to do with her?
Zheng Yunhao suddenly felt that maybe after he got married in the future, he would not be able to enjoy the happiness of having a man hand in his salary card... If the financial power of the family is handed over to his wife, how will he support the little ones?
It feels like the responsibility on the shoulders has dropped a little more.
Just when Zheng Yunhao was thinking about whether he should study and make some investment to carry the burden of the family.Jin Eunhe suddenly said: "Brother Yunhao, tell me, how about I set up a fund to support some filmmakers with good ideas to make movies?"
"Why do you have such an idea?" Zheng Yunhao was a little surprised.
"There was a script "Today" that I thought was very good. The director and screenwriter contacted me and hoped that I could follow it. But this film can hardly find investors. It is very likely that I will not be able to start the film on time after I set the schedule. And they can't afford my salary. Brother Yunho, you know that actors are valuable. Even if I want to lower the salary, I have to consider it. After starting this, I will have no position when talking with other crews in the future. So I thought about it for a long time, but I still refused." Jin Enhe was still very regretful when talking about this matter.
"Anyway, I don't know what to do with so much money. How about doing something meaningful!" Jin Eunhe thought optimistically.
Zheng Yunhao pondered for a while, and began to imagine the establishment of the fund: "If you want to establish this kind of fund, you must first determine who will screen the scripts and identify talented newcomers. You have a lot of work, and it is impossible to rely on you alone. .And there must be a check and balance of power between the departmental composition and members, and you cannot let this fund become someone's private power and finally get out of your control."
"Well... this is indeed a big problem. I think I can contact Teacher Kim Ki-duk and the seniors. See if they are interested." Jin Eunhe nodded: "As for the big directors...Director Feng Junhao has a very close relationship with the teacher. It's subtle, and he has his own film company and the juniors who support him. The situation of other people is similar, so don't think about it for the time being."
"You know the situation in these industries best, you just make the decision." Zheng Yunhao stretched out his hand to hold her in his arms, stroking her hair: "But a professional professional manager is a must."
"Oh~" Jin Eunhe lay down on his lap.
"It's best to plan the charity activities to be carried out at the same time." Jung Yunho added.
"Eh? Why?" Jin Enhe turned over and looked up at him.
"Tax deduction~ It can also expand the influence and increase the popularity of the people." After Zheng Yunhao explained, he said: "By the way, a fund like this to support the film industry should be able to win the country's preferential tax policy. I will check it out later. How to deal with the specific situation…”
"I think it's better for me to invest as an individual." Jin Enhe was heartbroken.Setting up a fund is such a hassle, crying... She picked up the yellow rabbit doll on the sofa and poked it.
"It's okay if you don't want to be troublesome..." Zheng Yunhao smiled.Jin Enhe put down the rabbit and narrowed his eyes to stare at him: "Are you laughing like this, and you are trying to think badly again?"
Zheng Yunhao pretended not to hear, he touched the rabbit's ears: "Samsung, SK and other chaebols invested 1.7 million in "Head to the Earth" through JYP this time, and the return rate you gave them was almost 700%. I think , Your commercial value in their eyes is even greater. If you go to Cui Mingjunxi with the plan of establishing a fund, he should be happy to help you take care of all these troubles."
Jin Eunhe's eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed his hand and kissed him: "Brother Yunhao, you are right. Why didn't I think that it would be troublesome for me, but it would be a good thing for others~"
Zheng Yunhao just looked at her with a gentle smile.
He knew that his wife hadn't yet realized what kind of status the idea of the film fund would give her in the film industry.But he won't remind her.Eun He, always maintain such a pure heart, just make a good movie happily every day.
And with the support of CJ's deadly rival Samsung, CJ's status in the film industry will inevitably be impacted.He will never forget the role CJ and MAMA played in TVXQ's contract termination.Even though SM has settled with CJ and MAMA, he won't.
They will always be his enemies.
Zheng Yunhao only thought for a while, then withdrew his thoughts, squeezed Jin Eunhe's hand and said: "If there are big chaebols involved, your proportion will not be enough. Take the proceeds from my investment in the film this time and invest it in In the fund."
Jin Enhe pointed to himself hesitantly: "In my name?"
Zheng Yunhao nodded with a relaxed expression, as if he didn't take out more than three hundred million all at once.In fact, the money he earned this time always felt unreal.He didn't want himself to become dependent on this windfall and forget his own profession.Since Enhe wants to do something big, he might as well use the money here.
Jin Eunhe stared at him for a long time, hugged his waist and buried his face in his abs indignantly: "Hmph! You are so cunning, you actually used money to hit me. I am such a superficial woman! If you want to smash...you should smash it with your body..."
Zheng Yunhao paused when he squeezed her hand, his eyes lit up more than once: "Are you sincere?" Then he murmured: "It really seems like I haven't been on the sofa for a long time..."
"Hey! Who wants to be on the sofa! Stop it!"
"Not on the coffee table! What a tough bastard! You can't even touch your abs!"
……
After taking a shower, Zheng Yunhao kissed his wife and glared angrily, put on a large T-shirt and ran to the living room to clean up the mess.As soon as he was sorted out, he received a call from the company.He listened for a while, and his face, which was smiling happily at first, became a little dignified.Finally he replied: "I see, I will go back to the company right away."
"What's the matter?" Jin Eunhe put on a Zheng Yunhao's T-shirt and asked while leaning against the door.
Zheng Yunhao put down his phone and looked back at her: "Ai Hui's vice president has come to Korea, and they want to cooperate with SM again."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Jin Enhe was a little puzzled at first, and then quickly thought: "Is the opening conditions not good enough?"
Zheng Yunhao walked towards her, lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead: "It's okay, this time we have the upper hand. You go to bed earlier, I may not come back."
After arriving at the company, Zheng Yunhao went directly to meet Li Xiuman and Kim Youngmin, and said hello first after entering the door: "Teacher Li Xiuman, the president."
Li Xiuman greeted him: "Yunho is here? Sit down."
Jin Yingmin nodded to him without saying a word, and breathed on a cigarette that was almost burnt out in the ashtray.Zheng Yunhao followed his movements and saw that there were a lot of cigarette butts accumulated in the ashtray.
It seems that this has been discussed here a long time ago.Zheng Yunhao thought in his heart calmly.
"You know the conditions brought by Chiba Ryuhei, right?" Li Xiuman asked.
Zheng Yunhao nodded, and answered cautiously: "Ai Hui's budget for TVXQ in 2011, wanting to produce a regular album, four singles, and give us a concert. It is definitely not enough. But I think it is not enough with Ai Hui. The advantages of cooperation outweigh the disadvantages. After all, many of TVXQ’s music copyrights in the past were in the hands of Ai Hui. And we really don’t have time left for us. When the contract termination lawsuit with Ai Hui is over, TVXQ will have a blank period in the Japanese market for more than three years. That’s when things got worse.”
He had pondered over and over on the way here, so as soon as Li Xiuman asked him, he immediately expressed his thoughts.
"But? Why is Ai Hui suddenly determined to abandon JYJ?" Zheng Yunhao still couldn't figure this out.
Jin Yingmin snorted softly, with a contemptuous tone: "Baek Changsu is a rascal. He thought Japan was South Korea, and he did it without hesitation if he wanted to launder money. He even asked someone to trouble Ai Hui. Ai Hui This time I got shit, so I had to give up in order not to be dragged into the water." He turned to Li Xiuman: "Anyway, my opinion is that it is okay to cooperate with Ai Hui again. But you can't sign the full contract with Ai Hui, and some rights must be kept in the Our Japanese branch is in the hands. The share must also be adjusted..."
While Kim Young Min was discussing with Lee Soo Man, Jung Yun Ho listened quietly.But he was thinking about Ai Hui's budget.If Ai Hui can't even provide the most basic, then what chance can he get from this matter...
"But no matter what, if we want to rebuild the image of the duo TVXQ in Japan, the quality of TVXQ's album must not be lowered." Li Xiuman sighed: "If Ai Hui's budget is only so much, then we SM will do the comeback album! "
Zheng Yunhao raised his head and looked at Li Xiuman fixedly.
Jin Yingmin took another puff of cigarette in silence, put the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray after a while, and made up his mind: "Okay! I will be in charge of the board of directors. I will try my best to make this decision pass within this month. But before that, we want Ai Hui to show their sincerity first. Ban JYJ all over Japan. Mr. Li Xiuman, please tell Chiba Ryuhei. When JYJ is finished, Ai Hui will come and talk to us about signing the contract."
The author has something to say: In fact, the real reason why Ai Hui and JYJ fell out is still a mystery.Money laundering is my guess.Because the money laundering of this company is too obvious.Has anyone ever wondered why JYJ wants to hold a concert in South America?Such an obvious money laundering move!Then there is this company that obviously has no resources but has suddenly signed a lot of big-name movie actors in just a few years... You can tell where there is a problem at a glance.
Let me give you an example from China: some movies are known to be bad by everyone, and I have never heard of anyone going to the cinema to watch them, but the box office is over 5 million.Don't you think it's weird?Because the domestic box office only needs to pay 3% of the film special fund and about [-]% of the turnover tax, and then give the movie theater some benefits, the box office can be used, and then the funds can flow into the company's accounts in a very legal form.So the entertainment industry is a place where the cost of money laundering is very low and fast.For example, a friendship
