Be reborn and be happy to the fullest
Chapter 685 Sony President's Sentimental Advocate (Part )
What Li Shuo meant was: if Fei Seji was willing to dance to this song, then it "could" be written for Fei Seji.
The South Korean Dance Queen understood, and she couldn't help but ponder:
Although Li Shuo is highly praised by Iwasaki Rentaro and is suspected to be extremely powerful, his artistic attainments are still unknown. It's okay to chat and joke with him in daily life, but he will naturally not easily agree to something as crucial as this. The more famous the star is, the less likely he will easily make a move in his area of expertise. This is a burden of fame. Whenever he makes a move, he must ensure that it is a quality product.
In the end, it was Rentaro Iwasaki who made the final decision, saying:
"If it's X's song, plus Fei Se Ji's dance, then Sony's agency is willing to prepare the most exciting operation for it!"
Hearing this, Fei Seji, an artist signed by Sony Entertainment, nodded naturally and said with a smile, "That's great." But she was thinking in her heart that she must spend more time with Li Shuo in the following period of time. Deepening the relationship was secondary. The important thing was to confirm what Li Shuo's talent was and the quality of his new songs.
Dancing as a backup dancer for Li Shuo's new song is something that Fei Se-ji needs to consider, but in the eyes of girls like Jessica Jung and Yoona Lim, it is a great opportunity, especially the "operation" promised by Iwasaki Rentaro, which is even more attractive.
In the subsequent chat, Jessica Jung said to Li Shuo in a joking tone: "Oppa, you are biased. Since you invited senior Fei Se-ji to dance with you, why don't you invite us?"
Lin Yuner also nodded and said, "Yes, yes, our group is also known for singing and dancing in South Korea!"
And such good things?
Li Shuo smiled widely and nodded hurriedly, saying, "If you are willing, I would love it. I have also heard of the songs and dances of the Beautiful Legs Era abroad..."
Xu Xian thought he was just being polite and asked, "Oppa, do you know which song and dance is our most popular?"
Unexpectedly, Li Shuo listed them all: "The most popular one should be "GEE", but if we talk about the one with the best stage effect, it should be "genie", and..."
Blah blah blah, he actually listed N songs of the Beautiful Legs Era in one breath, and even said the specific occasions when the Beautiful Legs Era performed the best and was most memorable.
At last, Li Shuo concluded with a smile: "How about it? Am I your die-hard fan?"
“Wow” “Great” “Oppa, you actually pay attention to us, that’s great!”
The three girls exclaimed in unison, and their gazes towards Li Shuo suddenly became more intimate, and the distance between them became much closer.
On the contrary, it was Li Shuo who realized, after being "proud", that he had committed the problem of being a "dog licker" again: this problem had actually been cured long ago, but because he was facing his favorite girl group in his previous life, it has popped up again and again recently.
With the intention of reflection and correction, Li Shuo deliberately avoided talking to the three beautiful girls in the following chat.
What Li Shuo didn't expect was that his sudden enthusiasm and sudden coldness made the three girls lose their rhythm. They wanted to find some common topics with Li Shuo, but they were often led astray by Li Shuo's words and then started chatting enthusiastically with Fei Seji...
When lunch was almost over, the youngest Xu Xian was a little discouraged and whispered to her two companions: "I'm almost done eating, can we leave early?"
Lin Yoona was a little undecided and looked at the captain Jessica Jung, who shook her head firmly and still tried to find some topics to talk about with Li Shuo.
At this time, Li Shuo also felt that he was a little cold towards the girls, so he corrected his mistake in time and asked the girls about their next itinerary. When he learned that they would go to Beijing in the afternoon, he said that he would also go to Beijing in the afternoon and invited the girls to go with him.
Although the girls were moved by this proposal, they ultimately rejected it. Firstly, they were only three members of a team and could not make decisions for the team. Secondly, even the team had to follow the arrangements of the agent. This time, participating in the China-Korea Song Festival was related to South Korea's national affairs.
At 2: p.m., lunch ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Fei Seji and the girls returned with great success. After returning to the delegation, they spread Li Shuo's identity and talents one by one.
When Li Shuo's talent is confirmed in the future, his identity as a boss + talented person in the entertainment industry will spread quickly among this group of people.
In the late afternoon, the delegation left Tianjin and started their journey to Beijing, but the currently popular Yu Yanze was missing from the team. After some inquiries, those who were interested found out that he was excluded from the list of the China-Korea Song Festival by Sony's agency because he "offended Li Shuo"!
The remaining members were surprised and amazed when they heard this. They had a better understanding of Li Shuo's power and talent. When they finished the China-Korea Song Festival and returned to South Korea, half of the entertainment industry there began to spread various rumors about the mysterious artist X...
……
These people didn't know that if it wasn't for Li Shuo, the version they heard would be completely different! To be precise, it was Li Shuo's existence that caused Yu Yanze to be the only one excluded from the list!
Time goes back to after lunch, Iwasaki Rentaro brought Li Shuo and Wei Shuting back to Sony Agency again. This time with Wei Shuting accompanying them, Li Shuo naturally didn't have to worry about the specific details of the contract. He let her discuss in detail with the people from Sony Agency, while he discussed some business matters with Iwasaki Rentaro.
Li Shuo praised the Iwasaki family for their good management of the Sony Group, and also praised Iwasaki Rentaro for his well-organized development of Sony Brokerage.
He was a commercial flatterer. In comparison, Iwasaki Rentaro was much more honest. He sighed and told Li Shuo that Sony Agency was also facing many difficulties:
The advent of the global Internet era has had a huge impact on traditional music. Sony Entertainment, which is backed by Sony Music, has also been hit hard. There are only signs of improvement in Asia for now, but in Europe, the United States and other countries and regions, Sony Entertainment's business volume has been plummeting year after year compared to previous years, and the business in some regions can no longer be sustained.
"So, I attach great importance to Asia, especially China's business, and among China, I think the model of Shuoguo Culture is the most attractive..."
At the end, Iwasaki Rentaro looked at Li Shuo sincerely and said, "I sincerely hope to establish various cooperation mechanisms with Shuoguo Culture so that both sides can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results and make common progress!"
"I hope so too!"
Li Shuo's words were as firm as iron, but in fact he only gave a verbal response.
If Rentaro Iwasaki was replaced by Junko Iwasaki, Li Shuo might give some useful suggestions, such as "develop Internet music" and "embrace smartphones and develop online music business", but he is only Junko Iwasaki's cousin after all, and as the president of a large company, Li Shuo would not be naive enough to think that he really thinks so. Perhaps, Rentaro Iwasaki just wants to get benefits from Shuoguo Culture?
Sure enough, Iwasaki Rentaro did not continue the conversation and instead brought up the matter of the 2PM team. He told Li Shuo that in order to punish them for offending Li Shuo, Sony Entertainment had excluded the entire 2PM team from the list of the China-Korea Music Festival!
Li Shuo was shocked on the spot, because he suddenly realized that his butterfly wings could change the future this time: 2PM became familiar to domestic fans since the China-Korea Song Contest. They did not participate in the concert this time. Can they still become popular in the future?
But Li Shuo didn't hate that kind of future. He just expressed his gratitude to Iwasaki Rentaro at the moment. However, after the two of them finished chatting, when Li Shuo met Wei Shuting, his personal secretary said something to him:
"Boss, do you hate Ok Yeon-taek as a person, or do you hate the entire 2PM group?"
"Is there any difference? I don't have any feelings for 2PM, and I hate Ok Yeon-taek even more."
"Of course there is a difference. If you want Yu Yeon-taek to be unable to make a comeback, you should actually organize President Iwasaki to remove the entire team from the list: that will only make the 2PM team united. Think about it again, if you only get Yu Yeon-taek and let him return to South Korea early, the rest of the people will have an increased workload in subsequent activities, and they will also get more exposure opportunities. Regardless of whether 2PM can succeed this time, when they return to their country, Yu Yeon-taek will definitely be excluded by others..."
Idol groups are not harmonious to begin with. Take the Era of Beautiful Legs as an example. If there were no conflicts among the members, would Jessica Jung leave the group alone in the future?
Compared with girl groups, boy groups have more conflicts, because boy groups have female fans, they are more influenced by their fans, and as for the group of female fans, those who understand will understand:
Take a certain feces-sweeping group as an example. Among the fans of the three members A/B/C, there are N factions. The A faction is hostile to the B\C faction, the B faction is hostile to the A\C faction... and the AB faction is hostile to the C faction, the BC faction is hostile to the A faction, and so on and so forth. There are as many factions as the number of people can be split into...
Li Shuo, who was enlightened by Wei Shuting, did not rush back to find Iwasaki Rentaro, but called Minister Takagi and expressed his meaning tactfully: I have a very good temper and can be used by public relations.
Kenji Takagi is the director who manages artists. His job is to deal with conflicts between artists. When he heard what Li Shuo said, he understood what he meant, so he responded immediately: "Oh my, Mr. Li is so considerate. How did you know that I was worried about how to ask for your forgiveness? Well, where are you now? I'll come to find you..."
Li Shuo gave an internal company address and then hung up the phone.
Wei Shuting was a little confused after hearing this. She blinked and said, "That's good. We can achieve our goal of excluding only Yu Yanze and do a favor to Minister Takagi. By the way, Boos, how do you know that Kenji Takagi is thinking about how to ask for your forgiveness?"
"I do not know"
Li Shuo shook his head and enlightened her: "You still need to learn a lot from Kenji Takagi in the workplace. I'm sure that before I called him, he didn't have any worries about 'asking for my forgiveness', because the real agency behind 2PM is SM, which has nothing to do with him."
"Ah?" Wei Shuting was stunned at first, then suddenly realized: "Takagi Kenji understood what you meant, so he first accepted your 'forgiveness', and then went to the person in charge of SM Company to get benefits from him and 'sell' your forgiveness?"
"bingo"
Li Shuo snapped his fingers and praised, "Smart! This matter should have been done by SM Company, who contacted me through their connections and promised us some benefits... But after all, there are two countries, China and South Korea, so the speed of information transmission is slow, and we want to target Yu Yanze, so it turned out like this."
Wei Shuting nodded and smiled: "Meeting a smart person like Kenji Takagi, things can get back on track..."
"Yes, now it all depends on what kind of 'thank you gift' Kenji Takagi can bring!"
Things turned out just as Li Shuo had expected. Before receiving the call, Takagi Kenji didn't care at all about the boy band being expelled from SM company, but Li Shuo's call made him see an opportunity to gain a favor.
So after hanging up the phone, Kenji Takagi directly called SM director Kim Young-min, who was formerly the head of SM's overseas business department and had a good relationship with Kenji Takagi.
Takagi Kenji first informed Kim Young-min that your beloved boy band had a big problem, your boy band leader was PASSed, your boy band...
Kim Young-min panicked immediately after hearing this. His first reaction was to ask Kenji Takagi to intercede in front of President Iwasaki, and SM was willing to give up part of its interests for this.
"Hey, Director Jin, you still don't understand. The person 2PM offended this time was not our President Iwasaki, but an artist... Well, we are all family, so I can share some information about this artist with you in private. His real name is Li Shuo. At the artist level, he is the most valued talent at Sony Management, a talented composer and screenwriter..."
"More importantly, he has another identity. He is the boss of a promising cultural and entertainment company in China. Our President Iwasaki not only appreciates Li Shuo's talent, but also hopes to establish business cooperation with his company..."
"You have to understand the heavy weight of these two identities, Director Jin!"
After listening to Takagi Kenji's explanation, Jin Yingmin asked naturally: "Then according to Minister Takagi's opinion, how should I apologize to Chairman Li?"
Takagi Kenji thought about it and felt that Li Shuo was very close to the idol girl group under SM Company, so he hinted: "In my opinion, Chairman Li has everything. He is a person who pays more attention to emotional communication... Also, he met your Beautiful Legs Era group today and seemed to be very close to several of the girl members..."
At other times, Kim Young-min would jump up immediately if he heard a man dare to approach his beloved girl group, but at this time he was "in the wrong" and could only reluctantly say, "Well, SM will not force its girl groups to do business invitations or anything like that... But if Chairman Lee just wants to make friends with our girl group members, I personally won't object."
Takagi Kenji was a little unhappy and asked, "You just don't object?"
Jin Yingmin: “…”
