As Kim Jong-ming expected, Yoona came to the door again with confidence... She was always so confident. Even if the ratings of the previous TV series starring at 4%, she would be full of confidence in the next TV series. To some extent, she could be regarded as a typical figure who fought repeatedly.

How to say it? After more than ten years of defeat, she may get an unprecedented privilege in the Korean entertainment industry, that is, she is regarded as a risk in the industry. What does it mean? As the name suggests, if the TV series really fails, because with Lin Yuna, all the audience will nod naturally. With Lin Yuna, then they will not mock the rest of the crew!

If this is the case, our actor Lin’s acting career may become wider and wider.

Well, let's go back to the present moment. Yoona didn't know how wide a career she would be in the future. She only knew that the second TV series would be asked to start recruiting actors in the second part, and this wave did not limit the hard conditions such as Busan accent. So she didn't even have time to communicate with the company first, so she rushed over with her agent.

"I don't care about this." Kim Jong-ming, who was still busy with something, blocked the other party's mouth without hesitation. "This time, the TV series has been fully handed over to Minister Li Minghan, and I won't even look at it..."

Of course, Yoona wouldn't say much in such an occasion, but her eyes were full of contempt. The meaning was very obvious. No matter how much you care about, you can decide the role of your character, right? It's just that there are too many people around you, so I'm too lazy to refute your face.

"Actually... it's okay to arrange a role." Seeing Lin Yuner go to Li Minghan with confidence, someone next to her couldn't help but persuade him, but he asked the screenwriter of the series, Li Youzhen. "If you need it, we can set a new role specifically based on her personality."

"That's not what it means." Jin Zhongming shook his head quickly. "I just don't want to spoil her."

Li Youzhen smiled, not saying anything.

"But letting Sister Youzhen come over is indeed for casting." Kim Jong-ming changed his subject, but returned to this topic. "I mean... from the company level, we can appropriately give some preferential treatment to the people on the s.m company."

By the way, this sentence was connected to Kim Jong-ming's attitude towards Lin Yuner just now. At first, he felt a little contradictory, but Li Youzhen was stunned for a moment and immediately reacted.

After all, the screenwriter has been experiencing some things from KBS TV station to TVN, from variety shows to TV series. Kim Jong-ming's meaning is actually very simple. He doesn't open the back door for Yoona because he is afraid of designating a role, or because he is afraid of causing trouble to the crew, but if he is biased from the company level, it will not cause trouble to the crew. After all, the s.m company is so big, and the range of options is very large. This role is not suitable, but the next person may not be able to make do with the next person... As for what Kim Jong-ming wants to express to s.m company or Lee Soo-man in this way, it is not something she needs to consider.

Of course, even though he understood the other party's meaning, Li Youzhen couldn't help but take the opportunity to joke in such an interesting situation: "Of course there is no problem with this. The only question is whether Miss Lin Yuner can also enjoy this privilege?"

Unexpectedly, it was obviously a joke, but Jin Zhongming was slightly silent for a moment, and then he actually started to think seriously.

Only then did Li Youzhen really look surprised.

"Yona... forget it this time." After a while, Kim Jong-ming replied with some hesitation. "I'm afraid she will... not perform well."

To be honest, this is the first time Li Youzhen has heard such a bad excuse as "I'm afraid that others will not perform well". Of course, she also knew that there must be something else in this, but the other party didn't want to say it out. So, the famous screenwriter, who was a variety show writer, nodded immediately, wisely did not engage in more entanglements on this topic. After the two continued to talk about other things about the TV series, they also removed this matter.

Let's turn our perspective to the other side. Yoona, who knows nothing about it, is still full of expectations... In fact, it's not just Yoona. The building of Ube Company seemed very lively throughout the afternoon, with a large number of idols and their agents coming in one after another. There are even a few people like Yoona who come here without hesitation after hearing the news. This kind of scene is even more exaggerated than when he asked to answer the recruitment in the first part! And Yoona is just one of them!

Why is this how it looks like?

In fact, the logic here is still very simple.

First of all, if you have the TVN brand and please answer the success of the first one as an example, then people are happy to believe that these two TV series will also be a phenomenal work. A phenomenal work means everything for artists and their economic companies!

That's right, it's everything! Popularity, honor, status... and the real money you can eventually turn into with these things in the commercial market.

But how much real money can reach? The specific number is hard to say, it depends on fate. However, such a work does have the ability to instantly send an artist who was unknown to the top of the market. In 12 years, some of the top people in the idol market can reach a commercial income of nearly 10 billion won a year... Of course, this money is definitely not entirely idol, but how much is the specific division, how many advertising companies, how many idols, how many companies, and how many combinations are? That is

Another topic is another topic. However, the only thing that can be confirmed is that if you can enter this rank, the number of 10 billion economic benefits that year is definitely not false. After all, the top-notch people have the least number, and the food is the most. Back to the moment, what is more important is that from the previous rules of TVN casting, they are basically fair and will not be biased because of your current popularity and status... To be honest, this is really amazing! Because it gives people a possibility and hope.

So, it is no wonder that as soon as Li Minghan issued an announcement, there was a momentum of thousands of troops coming to break into the single-plank bridge.

Of course, Li Minghan would definitely not just pull on the ube and just go straight to the other person. After a little caught off guard during the beginning, he immediately hid in the conference room, and then someone printed out the basic settings of some major characters, letting these people receive these information in economic companies, and then let those who use these methods get out of here... What role do you want to recruit for will talk to the TV station in a few days!

So, although Yoona could go straight to Kim Jong-ming as soon as she arrived, she could only retreat with the s.m company troops who arrived later.

Of course, this did not affect everyone's excitement at all, because no matter what, no one wants to be the next Jung Eun-di or Seo In-ku, what's more important is that such a fair opportunity is in front of you, no one wants to miss it! So they quickly focused on the information about the roles in the TV series, rather than anything else.

This is undoubtedly a good phenomenon.

However, while this group of idols and their agent team were in an excited state, on the other hand, the real senior executives of the agency to which these artists realized something because of this matter.

Three days after time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the day before the public audition date announced by TVN.

Although it was not yet time to get off work and there were still some projects on hand that needed approval, Kim Young-min, the president of s.m, could not sit still. He hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to put down his work and go downstairs to find the company's artist director and board president Lee Soo-man.

Along the way, it may be because the old building of S.M company is too old and the corridor is too narrow. Kim Young-min heard a lot of interesting conversations on such a short period of the road.

"Is this dress really from 1994?"

"Of course, this is my sister's clothes, I'll ask her for it!"

"Stop talking nonsense. I happened to be taking the college entrance exam in 1993. Why don't you remember this style?"

These are two of Yuri's assistants discussing costumes.

"We Exo just debuted. Are you sure we have a chance?"

"It should be no problem. According to the feeling of the previous work, there should be famous idols and powerful actors leading the team, but the main characters will choose new faces..."

"New face?"

"Yes, it's not necessarily a newcomer, but also some artists who are in a stagnant period."

This is the broker of exo asking sj's broker.

"Actually, it's not necessarily an idol. Although Seo In-guk, who was born in the previous film, had already changed his career to a standard actor at that time, right?"

"That's true, but at least he has to be a failed actor. You Yunxi has been doing well over the years. To be honest, I feel that there is little hope... Gao Yala, that girl has not had much chance of three years since "Heading to the Earth" in 2009. She finally received two movies last year, but she lost all of them."

"That's right, if you go to this company, you will be more inclined to Gao Yara. Yunxi is really difficult this time..."

This seems to be Li Yunxi's agent complaining to his colleagues. Do you think Li Yunxi has developed well in the past two years?

"I heard that the last time Seo In-guk was able to join was because of Lin Yuner's recommendation?"

"Don't think about it. The last time she was not suitable for Yoona. This time she ran over after hearing the news. She wouldn't say much if she had room to speak. She must be the most important role."

"That's true..."

This is shinee's agent trying to take some wrong paths.

"Are you just letting them go?" Knocking on Lee Soo-man's office, Kim Young-min seemed a little helpless as soon as she entered the door. "I feel like the whole company is a little restless."

"Everyone wants themselves or their idol to become the next Seo In-kuo or Jung Eun-di, because once things are done, they can or will make huge gains... Do you think they will be restless?" Li Xiuman, who is reading a plan carefully, seemed to be completely distracted, and didn't even raise his head.

"I don't mean that." Kim Young-min pulled open the chair and sat down weakly. "I mean, the artists in the entire company are restless, but we do nothing at the company level. Is this appropriate?"

"Then what do you think we can do?" Li Xiuman was still watching almost, and his face was still unchanged. "Do you go out and stop them from auditions? Or do you organize it systematically and try to make this TV series? Or do you suppress some people and tell them not to go, and then bring out specific candidates and concentrate on helping these people fight for certain roles?"

Kim Young-min was speechless immediately.

"I understand your mentality." Li Xiuman suddenly let go of his tense expression and sneered. "The artists and their team of the entire company are busy with one thing, but as the president, they can only drink coffee in the office with the door closed. It is really unacceptable..."

"This is far from our previous working model." Kim Young-min replied sadly. "In the past, even a character in a Japanese drama had to come forward and use favors, or even pay for money directly... and then hand over the role to the artist, he could naturally tell them openly that this was the company's resource. And now, although he knew that TVN was talking about fairness and justice, this feeling of being out of control was really bad."

"It's true." Li Xiuman nodded, "I also feel like I'm out of control. However, let's not say anything fair and just for now. Have you thought about it carefully, why does this kind of out of control happen?"

"I really thought a little bit." Kim Young-min replied seriously. "First of all, of course, TVN has soared too fast. In just one year, it has continuously created ratings myths in TV series and variety shows, forcibly squeezed out a comparable position from the three major TV stations. But this speed is too fast, so whether we or the three major TV stations, it still finds it difficult to adapt to the three major changes to four majors. We don't know how to deal with such a new player, but it is impossible to ignore the market share in the other party..."

"Well said, keep going!"

"Then it's Kim Jong-ming." Kim Young-min couldn't help but sigh. "In fact, no matter how large the market share of the TV station is and no matter how novel the system is, it is still a TV station. The people in it are all those we are familiar with, and there is always a way to communicate... But now it is obvious that the real control of this TV station is Kim Jong-ming himself. We can communicate and trade for others, but we can't even take any bargaining chips to trade for him, and we can't even sit in an equal position with the other party! And this is the real reason why we are at a loss."

"You can see this... to be honest, it really surprised me." Li Xiuman finally put down the plan in his hand. "I actually think so too. The knot of things comes from the place you are talking about. Kim Jong-ming is arrogant. Everyone has no ability to change his ideas at all, so naturally he seems helpless. Moreover, he has too many resources, so we can only choose to follow his way of doing whatever he says and does." At this point, Li Xiuman paused for a moment. "Give an inappropriate example, it's like the ancient king's words that came out of constitution. After an imperial edict, we may have to passively follow this option."

"Is it a little exaggerated?" Kim Young-min almost instinctively retorted.

"No exaggeration." Li Xiuman shook his head. "You just sensed his remaining power from this perspective. As far as I know, the things in the movies these days are truly about relying on him to survive..."

"Is something wrong?" Kim Young-min asked carefully.

"I just learned from several old classmates from Seoul. Lotte's film production subsidiary seems to think that New has been too active recently, so I want to connect and get involved. Unexpectedly, as soon as we first started, CJ Pictures suddenly jumped out and said that it bullies the small with the big and the old with the new, which is disrupting the market order, and then asked other film production companies to ban Lotte!"

"Block Le, Lotte?" Kim Young-min was stunned. "Do Lotte have his own theater chain?!"

"If it doesn't have theaters, how could Kim Jong-ming target it?" Li Xiuman sneered. "Although Lotte has a big family, they only have one theater in the film circle to rely on. Not only does Kim Jong-ming have double theaters, but he has also worked hard in the entire industry for so long. From the relevant academic mouthpieces to the official film revitalization committee, he has also been influenced by him. He also has various industry associations and power agencies such as the mutual rights committee, allowing him to penetrate the tentacles into the industry... In this case, no matter how large Lotte is, how could it be his opponent?"

"Yes." Kim Young-min nodded repeatedly after coming to her senses. "It's like Samsung, who is in the momentum, insisted on taking the opportunity to enter the automobile market after the Zheng family split up in the civil unrest, but the cars they built could only be sold to employees... It's a truth, the foundation is naturally extraordinary. So, will the winner be decided so quickly?"

"Of course, it took only three days, and Kim Jong-ming didn't even come forward, and the film production companies changed their minds! Then the actors, directors, producers, investors, and even the officials went on the stage together, knocking Lotte's film production department out of the box... I heard that Xin Donghao is already looking for Zhongren to take action on the company!"

"This is losing the car to protect the handsome guy." Kim Young-min complained speechlessly. "Hurry up and admit defeat, just stay in the theater. It's better to collect money in a quiet voice. Why try to challenge the other party's authority in the other party's territory?"

"You also admit that it is someone else's territory?" Li Xiuman smiled. "Didn't you think it was exaggerated just now?"

"Ha!" Kim Young-min also smiled. "Actually, I believe that the rumors on kakao are true now. He is on the Blue House..."

"Is it meaningful to be true or false?" Li Xiuman quickly interrupted the other party. "Is there any difference between the Blue House or the stadium stand for us? The key now is how should we deal with this new order that is gradually becoming clearer and even open... The person who was regarded as a naughty child back then, now he has been pressed by Mount Tai!"

"We still have to follow our own ideas." The smile on Kim Young-min's face disappeared immediately. "Sign some actors and variety shows that can carry the entire work, whether Kang Ho-dong or Jang Dong-jin, the purpose of our cooperation with them is never them themselves, but hopes that they can build a stage for our idol. Because only when we can build a small ecosystem of our own can we avoid becoming vassals... Your previous strategy has always been right!"

"You really make me... feel relieved when you think so." Li Xiuman couldn't help laughing, but sighed in his heart.

By the way, whether it is Mount Tai, his position in the board of directors is unbreakable, or the age gradient between the two is gradually emerging, the other party finally has gone from having more opponents than partners to the point where they work together today.

It's not easy, but no matter what, it's a good thing.

"We have to let Jang Dong-jin renew his contract as soon as possible..." Kim Young-min suddenly stood up. It was obvious that he knew that Lee Soo-man had received his message, so he was not going to leave it anymore. "Although he himself has equity in it, he always feels a little uneasy if he doesn't solve this problem."

"Go and do it." Li Xiuman nodded with a smile. "Be careful, don't be teased by Kim Jong-ming, but you're played with a dilapidated house..."

"Then I'll leave first." Kim Young-min stopped talking and turned around to say goodbye.

However, watching the CEO of his company leave, Li Xiu's smile dimmed with the sound of closing the door with a "splash"... Of course, it is a good thing for everyone to cooperate sincerely, but some words are not easy to say even if they cooperate sincerely.

To be honest, Lee Soo-man's heart is much more complicated than Kim Young-min imagined... In fact, just when the other party took the initiative to stand up and fully agree with his strategy, Lee Soo-man in turn had serious doubts about his own strategy.

This kind of suspicion is not that I think there is something right or wrong with this strategy. To be honest, what if I am wrong? In s.m, almost all artists are new types of experimental products. There are successes and failures, and some are half-dead, but the company's development is still in full swing... Why? Because what I am afraid of in this industry is not failure, but that if one day I lose the spirit of taking the initiative to experiment.

But then again, Lee Soo-man's suspicion at this moment actually came from this deep depression... I don't know when, he felt more and more that something in his body called aging or fatigue began to show its existence. This thing made him easily accept Kim Young-min's bow, making him feel a little powerless when facing the development of the current situation, and made him feel a little reluctant to face Kim Jong-ming's strength and vigorous energy from time to time to avoid and submit.

Of course, maybe this thing will completely defeat him in the future, and it will make him seem powerless at some point, but at this moment, this kind of thing can only appear slightly when Li Xiuman is alone...

Then, it's fleeting.
Chapter completed!
