My entertainment circle

Chapter 296 Negotiations with the Company (Part 2)

The music director's office, Zhang Pingan, Sika, and Li Xiuman were sitting on the sofa in the reception area and chatting with each other.Zhang Pingan took two sips of coffee brought in by his assistant, then put down the cup and said, "Mr. Li Xiuman, I have recently collaborated on a music show with MBC. We still have a good chance to cooperate."

It is a kind of respect for Zhang Pingan to call Li Xiuman a "teacher". After all, he is indeed a very powerful business man in the entertainment industry. It is not surprising that Zhang Pingan, a rising star in the entertainment industry, calls him a "teacher", not that Li Xiuman is true. It is Zhang Pingan's teacher.

Li Xiuman smiled kindly and said to Zhang Ping’an: “I heard that you and MBC have been very close recently. The launch of your "Living Alone", our company also gave a lot of support? This time your new The show must have a chance to cooperate with us. After all, we have always maintained a cooperative relationship, right?"

Zhang Ping’an nodded and said, “Yes, we have been working together very happily. My first show started, and your company has indeed given a lot of support. This is what I have always kept in mind. There is a word from China’s. The grace of dripping water will be reported by Yongquan. "So your company is good, I keep it in my heart. I am sure if I have the opportunity.. No, it should be said that we will definitely have more cooperation opportunities in the future."

"Yes, we have more opportunities for cooperation in the future." After Li Xiuman said here, he cut to the topic: "Then Sika's brand this time, do you think we can cooperate? I heard that you are already HK has completed the flagship store, and now..." Li Xiuman turned his attention to Sika when he said that, with a question.

Sika answered Li Xiuman honestly: "The decoration of the store has been perfected in all aspects, and the rest is waiting for our brand's products to be put on the shelves, and it may open in a week at most."

"It's going to open? The action is very fast. It seems that this matter has been implemented for several months. But our company has no news at all. If it weren't for the news published in the HK media this time, we would have been I'm in the dark, Sika. You are like this... it's not right." Li Xiuman seemed to say this very mildly, but the warning was extremely serious.

Zhang Ping’an took the words and said, “Actually, there is nothing wrong with idols, a career that eats youth meals. Wouldn’t it be great to create their own business while their fame still exists? After all, they will also want Living, idols can’t be done for a lifetime, right? I know that their transformation is inevitable, because their girlhood is in their thirties soon. Is the thirtieth generation still jumping on the stage? And Sika Acting skills are not as good as Yoona. Singing, although she is the vocalist, but her overall strength is not as good as Taeyeon, can she turn to variety shows? She has no talent for funny. The only thing left is to do what she likes It’s up. After all, I like to put my mind and energy into it. And the fashion brand she created is also what she likes and is good at. I think there is nothing wrong.

Under Zhang Ping's repeated'attack', Li Xiuman put away a kind smile, but responded very seriously.Zhang Pingan is not an artist in their company, and he is much smoother than an artist.

Li Xiuman pushed the glasses: "Sika is an artist of the company, and her personal agency contract is on the company's side. She started the brand this time without going through..."

Before Li Xiuman finished speaking, Zhang Ping’an interrupted him: “Wait, don’t you need to get permission to create a brand? First of all, she didn’t use Jessica’s portrait rights in her personal brand, nor did she participate in any branding. Commercial activities. She just created the brand. All the company's related matters are handled by a dedicated manager. I remember that among your company's artists, family members opened coffee shops, and many of them use their portrait rights. Well. Have they agreed with the company?"

Li Xiuman looked at Zhang Ping'an earnestly and said, "Ping Anxi, it's really meaningless for you to say that."

Zhang Ping’an smiled and said: “So. We are reasonable, legal, and human, and we can talk about anything. But we can’t bully the small with the big, right? The company’s reasonable requirements can be mentioned, even if the company wants to cooperate with us. It can be discussed, but if you want to use the company to press Sika, then there is no way to talk today."

He didn’t know the specific details of Zhang Ping’an’s family, but Li Xiuman was under Zhang Ping’s strength, and he also put away the aura that he wanted to overwhelm others. He nodded towards Zhang Ping’an and said, “Then let’s talk about it. Talk about cooperation."

"Well, let me first talk about when I invested in the Sika brand, 10 billion won, I asked for 49% of the shares. Maybe the price was a bit high at first, but now our brand has found a regional manager from China I am in charge of developing the China market. HK is the first stop, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Yanjing. These are all being carried out one after another. So... what does your company think now?"

Li Xiuman thought for a while and said: "Our side can invest 5 billion, but we need 30 shares of the brand. Sika can participate in the event under the name of'Girls' Generation'."

Zhang Pingan shook his head and said, "Uh, forgot to say, now we have 9% of the shares of our brand that can be sold to your company, but your company needs to put out '2 billion' in cash. Because Before coming to the company, that is, yesterday, the shares of the brand were shared by other members of'Girls’ Generation'. After all, Sika is a member of'Girls’ Generation.' After the brand was established, I brought everyone together to make money. Each of them asked for a share, and now they are left with 9%."

When Li Xiuman heard Zhang Pingan talk about the brand being divided by Girls’ Generation, his eyes widened.Now the brand is no longer by Sika alone, it belongs to the entire girlhood!

Li Xiuman's eyes widened and remained silent. While thinking about the response, Zhang Ping'an continued: "They have already paid a lot to maintain the'Girls' Generation.' Does the company even want to dig a lot for the brand that the nine of them cooperated with? Is it in the past? If this is the case, then the company is too unsympathetic. They can't always pay for the company. After all, they also have their lives. This brand is equal to the future protection of the nine of them. Is the company even the last guarantee Should they be poached? If the company really thinks like this, then I can persuade them to wait for three years. Anyway, after three years, the contract expires and the nine of them will reorganize outside. Then they will create another brand together. That's it, big deal, don't use the name'Girls' Generation', but even if they don't use it, don't they not be Girls' Generation?"

Zhang Ping'an's last words were slightly threatening.But this threat does work very well. After all, the brand is no longer owned by Sika, but by the entire girlhood.So the pressure should not be borne by them, but by the company. Just like Zhang Ping'an said, the contract extension they completed this time only lasted three years.If they did too much this time, what about three years later?

Li Xiuman frowned in contemplation, and Zhang Ping’an immediately said, “Give a handful of sweet jujube”: “In fact, your company has suffered a bit from the brand cooperation, but the “Girls’ Generation” has been left to the end. Isn’t it a company? They are here, Girls’ Generation is here. If they’re not there, what's the point of keeping the SNSD name? I also know that your company has suffered a brand loss this time, but I can learn from Places make up. My new show can help you push someone, and at the same time, I can take Girls’ Generation to open up the China market. Aren’t there many in Girls’ Generation who want to transform into actors? And I have invested in TV dramas in China. They can take all their acting to Huaxia, and I don’t charge any'intermediary fees'. In addition, I can guarantee that they will be paid at least 100 million won for one episode of the TV series, and it is after tax!!! How?? "

Zhang Pingan's "sweet jujube" was given to Li Xiuman's heart, because SM has always wanted to open up China's market, but they themselves don't have this ability. The main problem is that they have no one.Now that Zhang Ping'an intervenes, this is an opportunity, so Li Xiuman is more tempted.

But Li Xiuman still didn't reveal anything. He just said faintly: "We need to consider these things you said before making a decision. Let's do that for now, right?"

"Okay, let’s do this for the time being. I hope your company can seriously consider it. Um.. If your company agrees to this plan, then I will take them into the China market.. Within a year, I will let at least Two members of Girls’ Generation are shooting TV dramas, movies, and of course variety shows in China. If I don’t do it, I will return 2 billion won, and 9% of the shares will be given to your company for free. "Zhang Ping'an can be regarded as an extremely attractive military order-like'gambling agreement' for Li Xiuman.

Li Xiuman nodded and said, "Well, we will contact you after we think about it."

"Well, then, Mr. Li Xiuman, Sika and I will leave first, and I won't disturb your work."

Less than half an hour after Zhang Ping'an and Sika entered the office, the negotiation ended. After coming out of the office, Sika breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Do you think the company will agree?"

Zhang Ping'an smiled and nodded and said, "It certainly will. Now they are not facing you alone, but the whole girl's generation. Even if they want to pressure, they have to consider the consequences of this pressure. And I gave him a tempting condition. I believe your company will not be so stupid, and completely quarrel with your entire girlhood."
