Korean entertainment, I am crazy

#2071 profiteer is difficult (below)

Once again, after adjusting his mentality with what happened to his brother, Jin Yingmin finally broke away from the frustration of the past and the unwillingness of reality, and finally can think about the current predicament.

People are always like this, knowing that regret and unwillingness will not help their situation at all, but I still can’t help but think about it, profiteers can’t avoid vulgarity. Fortunately, profiteers can adjust their mentality instead of breaking their mentality. Learning from failure and unwillingness, although I dare not say that I will not make the same mistake next time, it can at least reduce the probability of making a mistake.

SM looks very glamorous now, even if it loses a little market share, SM is still the strongest among the Big Four, but my family knows about their own affairs, and the women’s team has nothing to do for the time being. The existing trainees in the handle are integrated and launched.

Kim Young-min no longer has much hope for the women's group market. The only requirement is to be able to pay back. It is worth celebrating if he can make a small profit. If he wants to engage in the women's group market again, he must wait for the next wave of trainees. This wave not only lacks core competitiveness, but also under the double pressure of Evergreen and BP, a female group that was still in their prime, it is too difficult to get ahead.

Although SM, known as the Star Factory, can be said to be the most capable in cultivating idols in Korea, it is difficult for clever women to cook without rice. For the boys and girls who had good expectations in the entertainment industry, SM was the only choice. Even if JYP and YG were established one after another to break through and form a three-legged situation, SM is still the best choice.

In these two periods, the trainees of other companies were basically selected by SM except for special circumstances. Although it is inevitable that there will be some slips, SM is definitely a crushing level in terms of trainee resources.

But things quickly changed. With YG’s educated and unclassified training style, compared to SM, which requires high overall quality, YG’s rank in the minds of many trainees in partial subjects is It is higher than SM, especially with successful examples such as BB and 2ne1, and it is the best choice for YG to become an amateur center aspiring to enter the entertainment industry and become an artist.

Had it not been for YG to pull too much hatred, there would not have been so many people wishing it would be unlucky at the time, and Kim Young-min would not have made such a heavy hand under the instructions of the big brothers, although there are some reasons why YG happened. It's complicated, but Kim Young-Min can't deny that he is the one who has done the most. It's just that he has been behind the scenes and he didn't fire the first and last shots that made Kim Young-min a good fighter.

Although YG has suffered a heavy blow, and although YG's background is not deep, the benefits of someone behind it have been reflected. Changing to another company will definitely fail. Not to mention disappearing in the entertainment industry, it will definitely have to struggle for a long time in the quagmire, but After some PY transactions, such a big storm ended in a very sloppy way.

Although the people behind YG have paid some prices, those costs are not high compared to allowing YG to continue to make money in the entertainment industry.

After finishing YG, Kim Young-min thought he could sit back and relax. After all, the situation of another giant, JYP, is not much better than YG. Kim Young-min admires Park Jin-young in terms of cultivating artists and sensitivity to trends. At the time, Park Jin-young relied on it. These two points will be able to keep up with SM within a period of time.

Although I appreciate it, Kim Young-min does not agree with many of Park Jin-young’s practices. The vagueness of capital is the fundamental reason why JYP will be turbulent and even split within a period of time. Kim Young-min thinks this is brought about by the artist becoming a manager. Disadvantages. Park Zhenying has this disadvantage, Yang Hyun-suk also has it, and even Lee Soo-man is the same.

It’s just that, compared to the innocent Yang Hyun-suk and the somewhat persistent Park Jin-young, Lee Soo-man’s role change is not only fast but also thorough. In Kim Young-min’s view, managers should be like him. Everything is profit-oriented, and it’s not the entertainment industry. There is no lack of understanding. You can be both a biaozi and an archway. If you have too much scrutiny, how can you manage the company well? How can you earn the benefits that satisfy the big bosses while considering sustainable development.

If it wasn't for the high number of C-jes, if it wasn't for JYP to borrow Dongfeng, or if it wasn't for YG to play the trick of asking for money from the inside out, let them get through the difficulties and change in, he would definitely not have to have such a headache as today.

Even Kim Young-min only needs to put his thoughts and energy in dealing with C-jes on YG and JYP, and he won't be able to find any benefits, and even touched his nose.

Although Jin Yingmin still felt that the original decision was right, he had to admit that his intestines were all regretful.

It is not realistic to start from the aspect of trainees, not only because the best opportunity has been missed, but also because the thirst cannot be quenched. After all, the people's requirements for artists are getting higher and higher, compared with actors and singers. It is said that there are some long training periods. The training period of idol is relatively short and is only suitable for making quick money and it is difficult to last long. It has to increase the resources and time invested in training.

And even if they are trained, they may not be popular. Don't look at SM's strong record in idol training, but there are many examples of failures.

For trainees, improvements can be made, but they cannot bring immediate changes to the status quo. Not to mention that shareholders’ favorites are immediate benefits, and it is impossible to wait for a few years even with a long-term perspective.

It’s impossible to start from the future. Kim Young-min began to think about the resources on hand. The men’s team is better. Although the new team and training program launched in recent years are not very effective, SM still has the feeling of SJ. The old group and EXO group are still in their prime.

And because of the difference in age between the two teams, the fans on both sides do not have a high degree of overlap like the boy groups previously launched by SM. It can be said that as long as the stability of these two boy groups is ensured, SM dare not say that it can dominate the boys. The group market, but it can definitely occupy the largest and most delicious cake.

Especially the strongest rival BB has been wiped out, and the competitive men’s team at 2pm is only empty. Although there are still other competitive men’s teams, the company behind it also has its own capabilities. For this reason, it is impossible to threaten the two teams of SM at all.

Thinking of Kim Young-min’s unbearable memory, I have to know that SM’s expectation of exo is the universe group, otherwise the name EXO would not be used, but it is a pity that EXO has only just become popular and has been taken by the company. As a team to guide the Huaxia Market, three people were reduced.

If it weren’t for Jin Yingmin to make a decisive compromise and make a compromise, the Huaxia team would have become a wedding gown for others. Every time I saw those three ungrateful betrayers mingling with each other in China, Jin Yingmin’s heart would be broken. In the bloodshed, if both can be carried out according to the company's expectations, EXO can definitely dominate Asia, rather than dominate the three-centre area of ​​South Korea.

Even Kim Young-min imagined that if the Korean ban could be lifted early, then EXO would not suffer such a big blow, as soon as it reached its peak in South Korea, it would have to reduce its staff. If the Huaxia team did not reduce its staff, Kim Young-min would dare to say that SM would be. The biggest beneficiary of the Chinese market, C-jes can't change this no matter how much C-jes plays, no matter how sloppy it is.

Feeling regretful again, Kim Young Min also gave up the idea of ​​changing the current situation. SJ basically has no potential to tap. Although the Korean ban has been cancelled, as long as there are three in the China market, EXO will be difficult. Play the biggest role. After so many years, with the efforts of the fans, the three have become deadly enemies. It was originally from the same root that the foreign monks like EXO are completely unrecognizable. After all, EXO can play the routine. All three can play, and EXO's potential market in China is occupied by those three, and there is no way to recover.

If he can get the management power of SMcc, then Kim Young-min can still engage in large-scale linkages and use small cross-border methods to carry out dimensionality reduction attacks, but unfortunately it is impossible for SMCC to get him involved. From the day of establishment This is an independent company. It is an attempt by the big guys behind to enter other fields instead of being satisfied with the status quo at the time.

It is unrealistic to seek change from oneself. The boys' team has no potential to dig in a short time after the plans of China and the island country were destroyed. Originally, Kim Young-min wanted to learn from the routines played by BTS and come up with a new gameplay. The fragrance of the wall blooms outside the wall, but since the bulletproof group collapsed and even the company collapsed, Kim Young-min had no idea of ​​learning and reference. The kind of unstable foundation equivalent to a castle in the sky is not suitable for SM, even if it is suitable for Kim Young-min. I don't have the courage to bet against.

Thinking of this, Kim Young-min once again affirmed that SM’s current predicament and his current difficulties were caused by C-jes and Luo Feng-en. The reason why Huaxia and the island nation’s multi-year plan did not achieve the expected results can even be said to have failed. It has a lot to do with Luo Fengen and C-jes, and even thinks that Luo Fengen and C-jes have no major problems.

The situation of the men's team has nothing to do with C-jes and Luo Fengen, but the market has shrunk in other aspects except for the men's team. C-jes and Luo Fengen are still the culprits.

As for the women’s team, SM once again took Evergreen’s youth in his hands. Although there were many problems, but at least relying on incense, as long as the contract is not too harsh, Kim Young-min believes that the company can still have a good experience with the youth. of.

As a result, Luo Fengen’s existence made C-jes abruptly cut in. At first, Kim Young-min even laughed at Li Xiuman actually letting all Shinhwa employees leave the company. Although Li Xiuman was facing a lot of pressure at the time, if it weren’t for the last one. Distinguishing between teachers and students, Shinhwa shouldn't even think about paying such a price to leave SM, let alone take away the right to use all works.

Kim Young Min, who is not the other party, dare not say, at least the name Shinhwa and the right to use the work must remain in the company. It seems that Li Xiuman made a compromise because he wanted to stop the damage and not be too stiff, but strictly speaking It was Li Xiuman's biggest failure during his time at SM.

On the other hand, when the degree of failure is small, leaving can go beyond the myth. After all, the original myth is very united. Every member is detached from the company. When leaving the company, they are completely twisted into a rope, and when they are a few times, let alone twisted into one. The rope is over, and even a few obedience to the majority can’t be done.

The mythology leaves when the contract is over and is about to talk about renewal. But when most people are in the contract, the most annoying thing is that the pressure faced by Li Xiuman was not fully exposed to the outside world, but at least People in the industry know the situation, and this is one of the main reasons why Li Xiuman can preserve his face.

As for Kim Young-min, he and Xiaofeng are the big guys behind Kim Young-min. No one knows that the pressure he faced at the beginning was much greater than that of Li Xiu-man. The funny thing is that Kim Young-min can only be one. People resist all, even complaining is impossible. Those shameless shareholders are still fighting back in front of their interests. They all voted in favor at the beginning, but now they all say that it is the fault of his president, just as they all agreed. At that time, he still had to come up with an action plan to arbitrarily and resolutely oppose it. Not to mention that Kim Young-min doesn't have that much power. It is impossible to do such a thing. Even if it is estimated that these shareholders will still say that he is wrong, Kim Yingmin really felt that she was too difficult.

Difficult to return, but the reality is still to be faced. He has to do something to appease those shareholders. Since there is no good way to do it himself, he can only start from the outside world to drive the wolf away. Jin Yingmin has played this kind of operation many times, and the current situation is more suitable for playing this routine.

It is very difficult for C-jes to compete with JYP. Although Park Jinying has irreparable shortcomings, he is also a well-known old fox in the entertainment circle. Once he doesn’t play well, it’s easy to steal chickens and lose money. Zhang Yongjian completely regards Kim Young-min as his enemy, and as long as there is a little trouble, he will directly target SM, as if Kim Young-min jumped into a well with his child.

Although it was unrealistic to instigate the relationship between C-jes and JYP, YG gave Kim Young-min an opportunity. The turmoil between BP and Young Shizhi was not small before, although it didn’t even come to the official battle. , But the contradiction between the two sides has been revealed.

As the Southeast Asian market is saturated and the island countries and the China market have little room for maneuverability, the only thing BP can pursue is the South Korean market. Since it wants to develop in South Korea, it will be impossible to keep up with it. For peaceful coexistence, as long as the interests are sufficient and the provocation is appropriate, Kim Young-min believes that there will be a battle between BP and Shao Shi.

Considering that BP is in front of a young age and YG is difficult to get a bargain in front of C-jes, Kim Young-min thinks that he can use his youth to make a fuss, such as the dispute between IU and Taeyeon’s sister. This contradiction is irreconcilable Yes, although there are contradictions on the personal level, as long as you make good use of the effect, it will be great.

As for who can win in the end, Kim Young-min doesn’t care, and it’s not even important for SM to get tangible benefits in the fight. From the point of view of profiteers, weakening the enemy means strengthening oneself in disguise. Anyway, the imminent thing is to appease shareholders. It's not the pursuit of much benefit.
