Chapter 409
Jiang Hudong's recent performance is actually very strong.¥f
In fact, after discovering that he had become the target of criticism from the company's artists, Jiang Hudong, who had always been sensitive, was finally completely angered. He no longer suppressed his anger, but chose to fully and directly intervene after a brief emotional vent. That's right, now Jiang Hudong has started to intervene in all the related things of his company and faced S.M and Lee Sooman directly.
Of course, as Lee Soo-man and Kim Jong-ming said before, that chocolate company is not worth mentioning at all, and the key to the problem lies in Kang Ho-dong. Therefore, his intervention has indeed brought an immediate effect.
First of all, of course, it is the simplest and most direct problem of the TV station salary. This is a method that Li Xiuman created through his own connections and the most effective offensive method before. However, as a person who currently has half of the TV screen, Jiang Hudong in turn threatened the TV station with an extremely tough attitude.
Aren't you blocked your salary, right? As long as you are an artist in our company, whoever gets stuck or gets stuck, I'm sorry, I won't be on this TV show next week. mbc's "Golden Fishing Farm - Knee Taoist", sbs's "Strength of Heart", KBS's "Two Days and One Night", I will tell the public that it's your TV station's wages arrears!
The recording of "The Taoist Knee" was postponed, and the recording of "Strength Heart" was postponed. The TV station knelt gorgeously. This is the national mc. His influence is really not overwhelming. No one dared to change the main mc on a successful program easily before the victory or defeat was determined! So the TV station immediately wiped his face and started paying his salary seriously.
The second is the commercial performance issue.
To be honest, Jiang Hudong has no way to deal with the big commercial performance. This thing needs an intermediary company, and the intermediary company unilaterally wants them, so Jiang Hudong has no choice. Those things are not there, just like the artists of s.m company recently held similar events and would definitely not ask their company's artists to host, which is very direct.
但是反过来说,这些底层搞笑艺人也不需要那些东西,他们要的只是出去主持个粉丝见面会啊,小商场的开业典礼啊……总之之类之类的东西罢了,能有一些基础性的入账就好.对于这方面,姜虎东可以称之为身体力行,他总是在下完节目后干脆利索的替自己公司的艺人去拉生意.
So who, are you going to have a fan meeting? Are you going to have a... No plans for the near future, then who will have plans for the near future? Oh, let me introduce it again. Who is the one in our company is very experienced in hosting this thing.
The business was negotiated.
After all, things have returned to the beginning, that is, Jiang Hudong uses his prestige and ability to control the show, and then uses these things as resources and capital to fight against everyone else. The company before actually used this fox to pretend to be a tiger. It was just that the company used to do these things by itself, and the hatred was attracted by this company. Now it was Jiang Hudong who did it himself, and he jumped out and attracted the war directly.
For a time, the TV station complained all kinds of times, but the effect was good. At least the situation was barely maintained. At least the company's financial problems and the survival problems of the underlying artists were alleviated. Therefore, as the situation eased and the ratings of "Two Days and One Nights" slowly warmed up, Jiang Hudong became complacent again.
At some point, you have to admit that your personality has long been judged by your fate. When variety shows later became the representative of Korean pop culture, Kang Ho-dong first came to the top and did not eventually become the highest figure in this field. In a sense, this was something that had long been destined as his expansion after the Baeksho Awards.
However, at this moment, at the end of January 10, no one except for certain people could see through this ending.
That night, Lee Sooman made an appointment with Jiang Hudong to go to a bar in Hongdae. In the small private room, the two of them each took the company manager and then sat side by side.
"Senior wants me to change jobs to S.M?" Jiang Hudong seemed to hear some joke. "I have lived well here and the contract has not expired. Why do I have to go to an idol company?"
Li Xiu smiled but said nothing.
"And, aren't we here to discuss the withdrawal of the lawsuit this time?" Jiang Hudong continued to ask. "Does the senior think that if you want to withdraw the lawsuit, I have to switch to s.m company?"
Li Xiuman did not rush to answer, but waved his hand and signaled the legal counsel of the s.m company who followed him to avoid it.
The other party nodded, naturally picked up a briefcase and left.
The person who came with Kang Ho-dong was a director of the Chocolate Alien Company. Yes, it was Shin Dong-ye. Without waiting for Kang Ho-dong to speak, Shin Dong-ye walked out with some documents and a briefcase like a young follower.
This is undoubtedly very useful to Jiang Hudong. After all, Shin Dongye was as famous as Yoo Jae-suk and himself in his early years, and now he is second only to MCs at the level of him and Yoo Jae-suk. In addition, as the company director, the other party was able to act like this when he heard that S.M company was digging for his own affairs. This is undoubtedly the greatest recognition of himself.
"Hudong." Li Xiuman calmly poured Jiang Hudong a glass of wine. "Why do we have to make a fuss?"
"Senior." Jiang Hudong was a little amused. "Senior, did you call me first while something happened to me in "Two Days and One Nights"?"
"Yes." Li Xiuman admitted frankly. "I agree with you. I was taking advantage of others' danger. But have you ever thought about it? Why should I sue this shit company? Is it really just for the so-called admission fee? They offended not only our s.m company, why should I make this happen?"
"So..." Jiang Hudong drank a glass of brandy and let out a long breath. He was actually not used to this kind of wine. "Senior came for me at the beginning."
"That's right." Li Xiuman gave the other party again. "I hoped that you could join our company. There were so many excellent idols in the company and needed a leading variety show talent to take them. This is a complementary good thing. And I can also guarantee that you are definitely not that kind of contract... that kind of contract. For us, you are a strategic talent. Our company is willing to set up a variety show branch for you, just like Kim Jong-Ming's jk-cube to cube. We are a cooperation, a partner, not a boss and an employment relationship."
Jiang Hudong laughed dryly: "Senior said... To be honest, I am really moved. But there are two problems. One is that my contract has not expired after all..."
"That's why I pointed my finger at this company!" Li Xiuman knocked the empty cup on the bar. A waiter immediately skillfully lifted the curtain from the entrance next to him and walked in. The two immediately stopped the conversation.
"Make me two glasses of Weimeisi's aperitif, the old rules." Li Xiuman ordered. "When I go back and cook, I will talk to Mr. Kang Ho-dong about something."
The waiter nodded and stepped down.
"The old habit developed in the United States." Seeing Jiang Hudong's confusion, Li Xiuman explained slightly. "It's strange that Koreans always like to learn American style. Cafes are all over the streets, but there are very few pure bars. As a person, although I like to open a cafe and drink coffee, I don't like to stay in a cafe. This is probably because of the experience of singing in a cafe in the early years... I made you laugh. But Hudong, in fact, this can also show my sincerity. Generally speaking, I like to invite people to go to a cafe to have a cup of coffee at will. This place is where I often come by myself, and I rarely bring people... Where did we just talk about it?"
Jiang Hudong is not a fool, so he naturally knows what the other party wants him to drink an aperitif. After drinking it, it will be a banquet between the guests and guests... But he doesn't like what others choose for him. In fact, he doesn't like this Western-style place at all. He likes the traditional Korean barbecue restaurant. He sits in the middle, the wine bottles are scattered all over the floor, the barbecue sizzling, and everyone laughs around him... But... Although this scene that lasted for two years is still there, two people have changed...
"Hudong?" Li Xiuman interrupted Jiang Hudong's reverie. "My sincerity is really strong. To be honest, I can understand you if you have to be loyal and face, so as long as you say, I will handle the contract matters to ensure safety, stability and simplicity, and there will be no trend at all. And that company can be retained, as long as they are not stupid, I can protect..."
"But...Senior, I just said, there are two questions!" Jiang Hudong came back to his senses from his thoughts.
"You said!" Li Xiuman gestured with a smile.
"I am a habitual person to mingle with those funny artists." Jiang Hudong replied with emotion. "I am used to it casually. If I suddenly went to a company full of idols, I'm afraid I would not be able to adapt, right?"
Li Xiuman smiled slightly, as if he wanted to persuade him again.
However, Jiang Hudong didn't give him this opportunity: "So, it's better to take a step back and be more comfortable with everyone. And senior, let's be honest, since "The Birth of the Family Season 2" has been taken away by you, then let's forget about the lawsuit. Let others laugh at it for no reason, don't you?"
Li Xiuman changed his face instantly. Although this result was as expected by him, he was still a little unhappy after it really arrived! Because Jiang Hudong was really not qualified to talk to him like this! How could his ambition be limited to a variety show?! He came from the beginning, for the people, a large number of variety show talents such as Jiang Hudong!
"Hudong, do you think you have "Two Days and One Night" on your hands?" After pursing your lips, Li Xiuman directly pointed out the topic. "As long as that show is there, you will be afraid of nothing?"
Kang Ho-dong laughed dryly and ignored it. This is actually his idea. He didn't know if he was holding those artists to promote his company after the variety show every day? He didn't know if the TV station felt itchy about him threatening him with the show? But he didn't care. His idea was exactly the same as Kim Jong-ming left. "Two Days and One Nights" was in hand, who am I, Kang Ho-dong, afraid of?!
That's right, Jin C's departure made him feel a little uneasy and regretful, but as the ratings of the show began to slowly recover, his confidence actually came back.
Therefore, Jiang Hudong felt that he was not afraid of these things, nor was he afraid of being taped through!
"Okay!" Li Xiuman was angry at the other party's childishness. "Then I have to show you my sincerity from "Two Days and One Night"!"
Jiang Hudong thought about it carefully. He really didn't think there were any loopholes in "Two Days and One Nights". Is it whether MC Meng will leave or Yin Zhiyuan will leave, or whether Lee Soo-gen, who belongs to KBS, will leave? Neither will!
So, he simply spread his hands: "Senior, please do whatever you want! Goodbye!"
In the end, the national mc left before the aperitif was served.
"Shen Dongye is leaving too?" After staring at two glasses of wine for a while, Li Xiuman finally sighed helplessly.
"Hey, I'll go with Jiang Hudong." The legal counsel who came in behind him at some point replied calmly. "Everything is right."
"That's good...Is there a drink?"
"Extremely happy, director."
