South Korean Entertainment Industry News Record - Chapter 766
“It’s not a festival, why did you call us back?”
“Yeah, have you all been so mixed up that even the company only comes here every year?”
“Nonsense, if you don’t return, and you don’t have holiday benefits, what are you doing here?”
“…Forget it, I’m too lazy to bother with you guys, I’ll have a meeting later!”
“What meeting? We’re going back?”
“…You look like this, as if I’m preventing you from returning!”
“Haha, at the same time when the company’s artists are returning to help other company’s artists to suppress their own company’s artists? Why don’t we stop us from returning!”
“…Well, that’s really my fault, but speaking of conscience, didn’t I temporarily increase the share for you? You girls are earning less?”
“That’s right… Then again, why did you call us back this time?”
“To be precise, it’s just asking you to come back for a meeting. You are also a shareholder after all. Not only you, Cailin, and Xianzhen are also back. This time… I have something important to say.”
“…Well! Now go to the conference room?”
“Well, let’s go first!”
Zhang Che entered the conference room with Solzhi, who happened to meet at the door.
It was already full of people, including Li Cailin, Xu Xianzhen, Li Haoyang, Jin Ji Da, and even the financial director of LOEN.
“It’s not a festival, what are you calling us back for?”
“…”
Li Cailin’s first sentence was actually this, Zhang Che was speechless, how failed he was in this company, has he been reduced to the existence of welfare during the New Year and festival?
Forget it, it really doesn’t make a big difference, don’t care.
“Well, I have something. I’m sorry to call everyone suddenly!” Zhang Che said, “I have something I want to consult with you.”
“Yo, it’s rare!” Li Cailin said with a teasing, “You actually have a proposal? Let me ask first, is it related to the company? Didn’t you think about it again?”
“It’s really not this time!” Zhang Che sweated first, and then said, “I want to discuss with you about the direction of the company’s operations!”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“…You, are you sure you didn’t take the wrong medicine?”
“This is not the level of taking the wrong medicine, right? Which alien kidnapped the director and pretended to be here?”
The first sentence was said by Li Cailin, and she was really surprised, while the second sentence was said by Suizhi, who didn’t believe it at all. She was just making fun of Zhang Che. A director who works against the artists under his banner, a person who only has a girl but no company in his heart, how can he pay attention to such a high-level thing as the company’s operation direction.
“No nonsense…” Zhang Che tried his best to ignore the damage caused by Solzhi, and continued, “Some time ago, I was officially in charge of the company’s operations with Director Jin, and found a lot of problems.”
“Oh? Talk about it?” Li Cailin was surprised, and she wondered if her own business had allowed this guy to grow up?
“Mr. Jin and I found out that our company’s affairs are too complicated?” Zhang Che said, “If it’s just the itinerary and advertising endorsements of our artists, it doesn’t matter, I and Director Jin are somewhat of a little bit. Experience, but our company involves artist business operations, variety show production, film and television investment, song production, and even financial investment, isn’t it too complicated?”
“So, what are your thoughts?” Li Cailin smiled and then asked.
“I’ve thought about it a lot!” Zhang Che nodded and said, “Our company is not very large, but it involves so many industries. If it sounds good, it means all-round development, and if it sounds bad, it means doing everything, and no one is good at it. There is no competitive product that can be shot.”
“The report from the first half of this year to the present shows that our profit has been declining month by month. At the beginning of the year, it was better. The investment income of some TV dramas last year has been received one after another. After that, it is really worse than a month, except for Yin Zhen and Hani have a few good short-term advertising income, other income is not impressive, the “produce” at the beginning of the year is still in the calculation of CJ’s income, it is not clear whether it will be able to come in at the end of the year, several variety shows in the middle of the year. They are all human-friendly shows, and they have basically no income, and the response of the children’s return at the beginning of the year is not very good, it can only be said that the basics are maintained…”
“By the way, who did all this harm? S.M is making a lot of money, right?” Su Ji said angrily.
As a shareholder, she is somewhat qualified to view the financial statements, so she is very clear that because of the temporary increase in the income ratio, the company actually lost money on their return. This belongs to Zhang Che’s “disorderly government”, and even Compared with the increased income she gave her, she lost more in dividends at the end of the year, but for the sake of the children, she received this love, but she was still unhappy.
If it wasn’t for this oppa messing around, they could make a lot of money without raising the income ratio!
“Let’s not talk about it in the past!” Zhang Che waved his hand awkwardly and said, “In short, I found out that although our company has a lot of long-term benefits, such as the copyright revenue of songs from Brother Haoyang and me and some TV shows. The rebroadcast is divided, but after removing the share given to us, there is actually not much at the company level. Unless you encounter a program like “produce” again, it is difficult to make a big profit. TV dramas and movies The settlement of the investment is also a temporary thing, it can’t be done for a long time, so in the final analysis, the long-term and stable income is still the part of the artist’s operation!”
“So, do you plan to increase your investment in children?” Li Cailin asked, “Finally, your conscience has found out?”
“It’s not just that!” Zhang Che said, “I want to make an industry plan, temporarily suspend some secondary, unprofitable industries or projects, and focus on developing the company’s more advantageous or promising projects. .”
“Is the industry upgrading?” Li Cailin asked thoughtfully.
“It doesn’t count, at most it counts as optimization!” Zhang Che said, “We haven’t even tapped our own potential to perfect it, so what are we upgrading!”
“Well, I have self-knowledge, let’s talk about the specific plan!” Li Cailin glanced at the chief financial officer of LOEN, who was obviously not using soy sauce, and continued to look at Zhang Che and said.
“First of all, I’m sure EXID, Xianzhen and Huaying are the key points. It’s been three years since EXID debuted, and it’s time for the results. I want to see if I can push them to go further!” Zhang Che is full of confidence said.
“Oh, then you have to let Hani’s kid dump her boyfriend first, it’s too fanciful!” Li Cailin said casually.
“That… let’s not talk about it, there are also Xianzhen and Huaying, to be honest, Xianzhen has accumulated enough in the past few years, acting skills, qualifications, and eyesight are all pretty good, and it’s time to explode. , I plan to find a better script for her next year, and then I will mainly promote it, at least it can’t be worse than that girl Xinhui, even if I buy it, I have to buy a prize back!”
“Oh, it’s not enough just to have a good script. You have to have your sisters, junior girls, and sister’s teammates. The junior sister’s teammates have no interest in it, so it’s Xianzhen’s turn, right?”
“…Can we not talk about that?”
“Okay, you go on!”
“I… Where did I say come from?”
“After talking about Hyun, what about Hwa Young?”
“Hua Ying… Go back and have a good chat with her, this child… just treat her as Brother Hu for the time being!”
Speaking of this, Zhang Che had a headache. This child Liu Huaying is not because she is disobedient, but because this girl is too unmotivated. At the beginning, it was pretty good, maybe I was trying to show it to those who were anti her, so I worked hard to run the schedule, and I didn’t complain about any TV drama roles I arranged for her. It’s not easy. With a little fame, this girl has changed.
It’s not that she has become proud, arrogant, and feels that she is amazing, but this girl is simply lazy.
I used to know that I came here and complained about not paying attention to myself, but now it’s better, I wish I could see Zhang Che walking backwards. It’s not that they don’t make money for the company every year, but they are basically a few cameos or unimportant supporting roles, and they have a sense of existence. That kind of income is just enough to cover the salary offered by the company to her and her team. The next step is to travel around. Today I go to the United States and tomorrow I go to Europe. The number of times that my face is shown on SNS is actually more than that on TV.
Over time, Zhang Che decided to discuss with Jin Ji, and this girl was not short of money anyway, so she just followed the treatment of Jiang Hudong’s team and treated the child as if she was affiliated with the company.
“Well, the artists are all finished, let’s talk about the trainees!” Zhang Che continued, “I haven’t paid much attention to it before. I took the time to look at it last time, and there’s basically no one there, right?”
“Indeed, you set up a trainee team, but you haven’t been able to make your way out for four or five years. Who can stay?” Suizhi smiled bitterly and said, “The remaining few people… It is better to say that they have dreams rather than dreams. Self-knowledge, knowing that I have no chance at other companies, I might as well try my luck here.”
“Then recruit again! Must” Zhang Che thought for a while, and then said, “For those children who stayed, those who were not bad in strength were given priority, but the strength was really not good… Ask if you are willing to transfer to the company’s management, from Starting as an assistant, if it really develops, our company does not need to recruit external agents.”
“Wait a minute, let me try to figure it out!” Li Cailin interrupted Zhang Che and asked, “Are you arranging the next work plan?”
“Yeah, is there any problem?” Zhang Che asked strangely.
“Aren’t you talking about industrial optimization?” Li Cailin was even stranger than him.
“I said it, just now, let it go first!”
“…Is it over?”
“Then what if you don’t?”
“What should I do? You ask me what should I do?” Li Cailin became stunned~www.mtlnovel.com~ and scolded directly, “I thought you were growing up, didn’t you want to come out one time out? Put it down, where do you put it? Investment can be put aside for a while, and you can also temporarily stop writing songs and do not accept album production, but what about variety show production? What about the variety show production team? Do it or not, what do you do with those PD writers who have signed with us?”
“That… I mean, the status quo can be maintained for a while there, other places…” Zhang Che said in a low voice.
“Oh, maintain the status quo?” Li Cailin sneered and said, “Do you know that every expense of ours needs to actually appear on the book, and it can only be where it should be. Change is not impossible, please provide a feasible reform plan and pass it on the board of directors, otherwise…”
“Otherwise you won’t be able to move a penny!” LOEN’s chief financial officer said, “Of course, after all these years, I also like it here, and if there is no strange reason, I am happy to turn a blind eye. , but for such a big matter of industrial optimization, I am afraid I have to report it to the company, so please understand.”
“Do you understand?” Li Cailin glared at Zhang Che angrily, suppressed the urge to act, and said to Zhang Che, who was dumbfounded, “Go back and write the report, a week later, the meeting will be held again, now, after the meeting, you, this fellow, will be with you. I come!”
After speaking, he got up and pulled Zhang Che and left. The few people behind you look at me and I look at you, including the chief financial officer who pretended that nothing happened. They packed their things and left.
On the other side, Zhang Che was being baptized by a violent storm.
