Chapter 138, The Difficult Way To Survive For Inner Entertainment Idols
"Long live the idol?"
After Wang Taika finished watching the performance, he couldn't help but look at Hong Luochun.
"What do you think, Mr. Wang?" Hong Luochun said with a smile, "This is a team we have carefully built."
Wang Taika asked directly: "Just tell me where you are on the singing stage in South Korea."
Hong Luochun said: "It's not about relationships, it's about cooperation. In fact, this is not a secret. I think Mr. Wang knows about CJ Group."
Wang Taika nodded.
Hong Luochun said to himself: "The past few years have really been the era when the Korean wave has reached its peak. Uncle Psy had a Jiangnan who pushed everything to the top. Tea Egg became popular in Asia when he debuted. Crown released "Sexy Love".
Also Sistar’s “alone” is the beginning of the resentful woman trend.”
Wang Taika smiled: "Resentful women, these people are really good at making up new words."
"So when Hallyu was at its peak, domestic entertainment companies also made some attempts." Hong Luochun said: "What you see now is the result of our launch. Four Chinese members, two Koreans
member."
Wang Taika asked: "With this kind of staffing, is the target of Chadan's team exom?"
Hong Luochun nodded: "That's almost it. In fact, we have tried many times before this. Our company is called Sijie United, and there is a domestic group called Supreme Lihe, do you know?"
Wang Taika nodded.
"That's the combination launched by our company." Hong Luochun said with a smile.
"That was really early enough. Before the Korean wave reached its peak, Supreme League was almost a loser in China." Wang Taika recalled.
Hong Luochun said: "There is also a girl group ime. You may not know this. The little black devil Yan Lili in "Bala La Little Devil Fairy" is played by Liu Meihan, who is from this group.
"
Wang Taika smiled and said: "I know, I have been on "Kuaiben", I have the impression. It seems that one year I also participated in the mama ceremony, and it was criticized as a national humiliation by the country. Now it seems that it is nothing, but the combination of
The song is good, but the dance of the swordsmen is really not very good."
Hong Luochun said with a smile: "There are two foreigners in IME, one Thai and one Korean. The Korean girl among them was originally a trainee of S.M., and she was in the same period as SNSD."
Only then did Wang Taika realize that he had underestimated domestic entertainment companies before. He thought Lehua was prescient, but he didn’t expect that this was also an older boss.
"I thought it was from Tianyu, but it turned out to be Sijie United. I remembered, your founder is Sijie, right? He is known as the number one in domestic entertainment groups." Wang Taika asked.
"Yes, that's us." Hong Luochun said with a smile: "The current group is called timez, which is a cooperation between our company and CJ Group. Our company provides the artists, and CJ Group provides the stage. The focus of development is still in the country, and we will meet in a while
What do you think of Mr. Wang from Kuaiben?"
Wang Taika thought for a while and said, "It's a pity."
Hong Luochun's expression remained unchanged: "How do you say that?"
"Actually, I also know that there are many groups in China, but they are heavily influenced by the Korean Wave. They all use Korean singing styles and Korean arrangements. Either they can't pronounce the words clearly, or they have all kinds of inexplicable electronic music. Your group is quite
Not bad, there are actually Korean members in it. I didn’t recognize it at first because the pronunciation was very clear. The most important thing is that the song has no inexplicable elements, it is catchy and listens well.”
Wang Taika paused: "That's why I feel pity. We obviously have such strength, but there is no such soil in China now. If we could have debuted a few years later, maybe it would have become popular. But now, there are not even one hit song in China."
There is no stage, and the future may be...untimely."
Hong Luochun said: "There are actually similar singing platforms in China, such as Yinyuetai."
Wang Taika smiled: "Do you think that is useful?"
Hong Luochun shook his head: "It's really useless. That's why I invited Mr. Wang to meet today. You see, we have such strength, but we lack a stage. I know that Mr. Wang is not only influential in South Korea, but also in
There is also a lot of fanfare in China, and they want to establish an order for domestic idol entertainment. I wonder if our company can become a collaborator."
Wang Taika smiled: "I remember that when I was in China, your company was not very interested in me. I guess it was Lehua who inspired you, right?"
Hong Luochun explained: "I didn't know that Mr. Wang had such a big influence at the time. Now it turns out that our vision was shallow. In fact, the cooperation with the South Korean company was basically a unilateral throw of money. But even if it is so difficult, it is still possible."
To debut in South Korea with Chinese songs, I want the Asian music scene to be more than just Korean Wave."
Wang Taika smiled: "No need to exaggerate, we are not doing charity. But if we can achieve this goal while making money, I think it is acceptable. I won't mention the previous things, but now I want to cooperate
If so, my conditions are very harsh."
"It doesn't matter, it will definitely not be more demanding than CJ Group." Hong Luochun smiled: "And with our cooperation, Mr. Wang can definitely become the godfather of the domestic idol entertainment industry. This road must be truly knowledgeable.
Only our own people can go to the end. But Mr. Wang is the only such person now."
Wang Taika feels that this kind of cooperation is very good. His current domestic partner is only Lehua, which is not safe. Now with the addition of Sijie United, if the two powerful forces join forces, they can better monopolize the domestic market.
The actions of CJ Group and Si Jie United obviously wanted to break through Wang Taika's original blockade. However, CJ Group did not expect that Si Jie United also approached Wang Taika.
But in this case, Wang Taika can talk about cooperation with CJ. If he wants to have more say in South Korea later, relying on what he has now is not enough. CJ Group is a very good choice.
"Okay, I agree to cooperate. As for this combination, you have to sell me the general management rights."
"no problem."
Wang Taika is indeed very optimistic about this timez group, because he has rarely seen domestic groups dancing together so well and at a very high level.
I have to say that in terms of idol training, Sijie United is much better than Lehua.
Wang Taika was originally in a stage where no one could use him. The combination trained by xb Entertainment was, well, hard to describe. Although the combination he bought is not an outsider now, after all, it has already passed its peak period, and its growth potential is much worse.
The cooperation with Sijie United means that the market must be divided in the end. But this will not harm Wang Taika, because he himself cannot capture so much of the market.
Rather than forcing these companies to become competitors in the end, it is better to bring them all together to form a coalition of interests. Only monopolies are the most profitable in this world.
Moreover, the idol entertainment industry is not big to begin with, and it is not an industry, and does not involve industries related to people's livelihood, so monopolizing it will not be that big of a risk. If other industrial industries want to monopolize, the government will be the first to do so.
I have to stand up and stop you.
Comparatively speaking, Wang Taika feels that Sijie Entertainment is more reliable than Lehua. Lehua Company has great ambitions, and it doesn't look like they will be rich and powerful together in the future. Don't worry about so much, and take precautions in advance.
