Chapter 370 370. Self-reliance
The students showed their prepared setups in front of the camera, and other than that, there was nothing special.The current situation is unstable. Just before the college entrance examination, large-scale protests were vigorously organized. There should be more after that. People are sensitive, and when doing programs, we must know how to stop when enough is enough.
Anyway, the extra episode was also filmed, and the foreshadowing of "concert guests" was also buried. Both the photographer and the person being filmed squeezed out the remaining value of the program "idol cram school".
In addition to extracting surplus value, the biggest significance of this shooting should be that their "class group" that has been quiet for a while has returned to the light for a while, and the topic of discussion is the inevitable occurrence after the college entrance examination-applying for university.
"You guys are really in a hurry," Zheng Zhiyong said, "Are you providing me with screenshot material?"
Then the group became quiet all of a sudden, and after a while Kim Mingyu poked him privately: "We discuss how to talk in another group."
Zheng Zhiyong: ... "Are some of you in the comeback period? Tell me to pay attention to rest."
Speak like I'm very old!
Compared with the active idols who are on the rise, Zheng Zhiyong, who was born in 92, is of course not young.But in the circle of rappers and musicians, he is still the younger generation.In another new field that he is about to step into, he is an out-and-out junior.
That field is called: Company Representative.
After Zheng Zhiyong came back to see An Shuojun, he directly raised a request to the boss. The previous route of gradually improving his stable status is no longer applicable. He needs a team and the power to command the team, and he also needs more autonomy in planning. It doesn't matter about making money, pictorials, advertisements, performances, all can be decided by cj, what Zheng Zhiyong cares about is career, in terms of income, as long as he doesn't deliberately cheat him, is there a difference between one billion and eight hundred million?
"There is a difference," An Shuojun said, "it determines whether you want to pay one-tenth of the money or one-eighth of the money."
"doing what?"
"Buy a company."
This is the idea that An Shuojun finally came up with.He doesn't doubt that Zheng Zhiyong has ulterior motives. An Shuojun started dealing with Zheng Zhiyong before he signed the contract, and he thinks he knows a little about him. The restriction did not exceed the limit of his tolerance, Zheng Zhiyong would not leave this big tree just to make some quick money.
From this point of view, it is not impossible to meet Zheng Zhiyong's requirements.But after all, he is not focused on managing actors, only Park Jae-bum is the exception of Sidushq's leader, Zheng Zhiyong signed to CJ for only a year and then set up his own company, he felt a little bit unreasonable.
Others' routes cannot be copied, but An Shuojun thought of a solution with cj characteristics.
CJ characteristic [-]: Because he is rich and has a strong sense of expansion, he has a lot of special subsidiaries.
CJ feature [-]: Because of CJ's pitfalls in planning, the income of the subsidiaries under the music business department is generally not very good.
Then choose Zheng Zhiyong from this group of subsidiaries with poor income.
"Subsidiaries are different from subsidiaries," An Shuojun explained to Zheng Zhiyong, "Aomg is a completely independent operation. CJ is responsible for part of their business and enjoys dividends, but they cannot interfere with company management. Some companies just We don't have the energy to manage that much."It's not an unmanageable problem.
"I'm going for the latter kind."
An Shuojun nodded.In this way, Zheng Zhiyong is only in the name of a "leader" and can decide daily affairs, but the important positions are still controlled by cj. If Zheng Zhiyong wants to turn against cj, he will definitely be over.In this way, Zheng Zhiyong's status will be greatly improved, and he will get all the conveniences he wants, and An Shuojun will be easy to talk to his superiors and colleagues.
"I'll sell you a part of the shares," he explained to Zheng Zhiyong, "You are nominally the largest shareholder, and I will appoint the top person in charge of the company."
"Unless it is SK's undercover agent, no one is willing to give up the relationship with CJ easily." Zheng Zhiyong said. CJ and SK are the two biggest chaebols in the entertainment industry. Unlike CJ who participated in the battle in person, SK usually invests in brokerage companies and does not interfere much with the management. Park Jay Bum's former brokerage company Sidushq , was acquired by kakao and also invested in starship and na (formerly acube) loen, all of which are representatives of the sk department.
"There was a man named Maroo under mbk and he ran away." An Shuojun hit him.
Zheng Zhiyong:? "I've never heard of it." CJ was like an octopus when he became a shareholder in a brokerage company. Partial holdings, full holdings, non-interference in independent operations made people look forward to him. Zheng Zhiyong almost didn't think that mbk was also ten thousand A member of the Thousand Subsidiaries has no memory of what maroo is.
There are so many large and small brokerage companies in South Korea. The relatively well-known pledis has a scale of more than 20 staff members. There are too many small workshops with four or five people listed. No matter how good Zheng Zhiyong's memory is, it is impossible Remember each one.
"The empty shell will collapse in a few days. It's normal for you not to remember." An Shuojun commented contemptuously, and continued to explain to Zheng Zhiyong, "I don't think you will be so stupid as to make trouble with me." Open the hand, usually there is nothing to do, the company will listen to you."
"Is my opinion inconsistent with the representative's agent?" If the ambitious person wants to make a career, but he has a different idea from Zheng Zhiyong, Zheng Zhiyong will feel very uncomfortable.Being ambitious sounds like a good thing, but actually it depends on the situation. Zheng Zhiyong doesn't want the executor who is responsible for both him and CJ to have too much personal will in the future.
An Shuojun has also considered this question: "Not everyone can start a brokerage company, promote artists, become popular, and make a lot of money. How many self-employed entrepreneurs have been running around for half their lives and still carry debts? If you do things for you, at least you don't have to worry too much about your income. .”
"The [-] million that the representative just said, wouldn't mean that I should bear the company's debts." Zheng Zhiyong said.
"No, am I such a bad person?" An Shuojun categorically denied, "But that company is not doing very well. The artists I entrusted to them to manage are not completely unknown artists. After a year of tossing around last year, only 2000 million profits".Zheng Zhiyong's dividends for releasing songs now exceed this amount.
Hearing this, Zheng Zhiyong had a bad feeling: "Who is running the business?"
"Don't worry about Sun Haoying not doing much activities, and there is also Park Baoram, they are also running when your friend Roykim is active." An Shuojun showed his card to him, "Mmo, do you know?"
Zheng Zhiyong: I know, massively multiplayer online games, my sister gave me a popular science not long ago...
Stop, stop, stop, Zheng Zhiyong withdrew his divergent thinking, lowered his head and opened na|ver: "cjmusic, jellyfish, musicworks, mmo, 1877, five company groups bel?"
"This happened many years ago. If I remember correctly, it was in 2014." An Shuojun said.
Zheng Zhiyong nodded: "This company has been under CJ for a long time?" The companies in the news are all owned by CJ, and it's just the difference between interfering in operations and not interfering in normal times.
"What's the use of a long time, and it's not doing very well. If it was in charge of Roykim's activities, if it did a good job, would you be so unfamiliar? Do you think his activities have always been in charge of the headquarters?"
Zheng Zhiyong was speechless.
"But after all, I have experience. It turns out that mmo and the headquarters are jointly responsible for the artists, and they will still be jointly responsible in the future. How about it?" An Shuojun said with a smile.
"What about profit and loss?"
"Conceit, you will save money before you mention dividends," An Shuojun said, "If you put more energy in there, the income from the headquarters will be less, and the 51% shares will be sold at a corresponding price. , no comments."
The artists who have been in operation are not unknown, but the "largest shareholder" of a small company with an annual profit of only 2000 million sold [-] million. Zheng Zhiyong can speak on daily affairs and be responsible for his own profits and losses. Zheng Zhiyong was overthrown. In addition, Kim Sang Woo (Roykim) and Park Baoram, who were originally in charge of the headquarters and mmo, were also dumped by An Shuojun to Zheng Zhiyong for their future work production.
Don't you want to make production more conveniently? You can't ignore the artists of your own company, right?
Zheng Zhiyong felt that An Shuojun might stand in the position of the "headquarters" in the future and give him more blame. For example, Heize, who came out of "unprettyrapstar" last year, signed with CJ. Her rap skills are not outstanding, but The network and career planning ability are quite good. The "Don't Come Back" co-operated with Long Junheng half a year ago has become an evergreen tree on the music source list, and there are many recent moves.
"Please let me understand the company's situation first," Zheng Zhiyong said, "but I have something to say in advance, please take care of me in the future, representative."
But considering the support and protection that cj can provide, these costs are worth it. Zheng Zhiyong chose cj at the beginning, didn't he just fall in love with him with deep roots?
——Although sometimes the characteristics of being backed by the chaebol will also attract suspicion, such as being beaten as a target this time.
"Please take care of me in the future, Representative Zheng Zhiyong." Sitting behind the desk, An Shuojun stretched out his hand with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to start your own business first."
It is not a trivial matter for an artist to form a solo team. Zheng Zhiyong originally thought that he would have to go through a tug-of-war, and he would not officially put it on the agenda until the end of mama. Unexpectedly, An Shuojun agreed very happily. If this is the case, Zheng Zhiyong will not Procrastination, before going to the United States, we must hurry up and do what we can do.
During the time when Zheng Zhiyong stayed in France to avoid disaster, in addition to the turmoil in the political arena, there was another event that he could not ignore.
Beast's contract has expired.
Not long before their debut, SM’s TVXQ superjuniors proposed to terminate their contracts one after another. The Fair Trade Commission stepped in and limited the duration of the idol group’s contract to seven years. Beast, who debuted in Cube, signed the longest contract. On October 2017, 10, the seventh anniversary of Beast's debut, their contract with Cube also ended naturally.
Long, long before their contracts expired, there was talk about whether beast would re-sign.If Cube is what it was in its heyday in 2011, there is no suspense about this question, but the decline of Cube in these years can be seen very clearly by the people who eat melons. It sounds like saying goodbye to the old club when they have to serve in the military in less than two years. Things that seemed a little incomprehensible became understandable when placed on beast.
Cube is naturally unwilling to give up beast, the cash cow that brings in most of the company's revenue. Although because of the previous power struggle, they did not discuss the renewal of the contract with beast early, but registered everything related to the "beast" brand. It started at the beginning of the year.After the dust of the power struggle settled, Hong Shengcheng also talked about contract renewal in accordance with the situation. Beast, who had made up his mind to leave, was practicing Tai Chi while thinking about his next move.This dragged on until the contract expired, and Cube still said to the outside world that "it is working hard to renew the contract", but the actual situation can already be seen clearly.
Beast doesn't want to renew his contract.As for whether to switch to another company after leaving Cube or start a business on your own, there is no answer yet.
At the same time, there was another person whose contract expired, that is, Zhang Xiansheng, who had quit beast for half a year. Zheng Zhiyong called him immediately, and said that he had asked cj for a team to facilitate future work.
Zhang Xiansheng's response sounded very simple.
"Me first?"
"My former teammates will probably do it themselves," Zhang Xiansheng said, "don't tell it."
