Lee Soo Man wants Lee Hyori, which is something Xiao Qian never expected.
Of course he values Lee Hyori very much.
There is no need to go into details about this person's status in the Korean music scene. It can be said that having such a singer in his company is equivalent to having a steady stream of wealth.
In the previous life, this eldest sister could say boldly, "I am rich, very rich." So you can imagine how much money the brokerage company behind her made.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Lee Hyori's ferocity, where would DSP have the capital to launch so many artists under the hard work of that old lady?
However, Xiao Qian was actually in a dilemma as to how to operate Li Xiaoli.
He has been thinking about it during this time, but he has not found a good way.
Big Hit does not operate idol groups, and doing so would be too expensive. But if Lee Hyori is to make her solo debut, she currently does not have the ability.
But Xiao Qian knew very well that this matter could not be delayed.
Everyone’s youth is limited, Lee Hyori came to Big Hit just to make her debut.
In a year or two, if there is still no hope of debuting, Lee Hyori will definitely leave.
And losing this top diva is something he absolutely cannot tolerate.
Under the tangle, Xiao Qian had no idea for a while and simply said: "The company has a plan?"
Li Xiuman tried his best to persuade him.
"The company currently has two relatively high-quality trainees. Their singing, dancing and image are all excellent. But as a group, they are still too weak. Lee Hyori has a good image and can be the C position of the group. Although her singing skills are not
It's amazing, but it's definitely enough. Especially her dancing, which is ranked number one among the trainees. Many teachers have advised me to include her in the new group's debut plan."
Xiao Qian didn't say anything, except that Li Xiuman was coming to the new group's debut plan. After reading it briefly, she couldn't help but feel a little funny.
The two debut candidates currently selected by the company are none other than Sea, the leader of SHE in the previous life, and Eugene, the rapper.
Sea was Bada, who later became so crazy that even Park Myung-soo was afraid of him, and Eugene was Ryu Jin.
Only Shoo is missing.
Now it seems that Lee Soo Man is planning to fill Shoo's position with Lee Hyori.
Shoo is of Korean descent from Japan and was the last to join SES. Now SM has just launched a plan to create a girl group, and of course, candidates must be selected from the company's resources first.
In fact, SM's first generation group did not receive trainee training for as long as it did later.
The company is new and they want to practice but they don’t have the time or place.
For example, SES, Bada has been a trainee for a little longer, while Ryu Jin only returned to Korea last year. As for Shoo, he only passed SM's assessment and joined SES a few months before their debut.
Now that Lee Hyori has a better quality, Lee Soo Man has no plans to go to auditions all over the world.
Xiao Qian thought about it for a while and had to admire Li Xiuman's vision.
Not to mention, the effect of combining Lee Hyori with Bada and Ryu Jin will not be worse than SES in the previous life.
Lee Hyori's singing skills are passable, but not very good, and she can replace Shoo's position as deputy vocalist. Her dancing is also very good, and her stage style is unparalleled, which can make up for the shortcomings of the two people in front of her.
Coupled with her aura and good looks, she will definitely become a pivotal character in such a combination.
After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Qian couldn't help but feel a little moved.
But no matter what, Lee Soo Man cannot be given the advantage in vain.
"It's not impossible for Lee Hyori to join a new group. But I have one request, that is, during her group activities, her contract will be shared by SM and Big Hit. Once the group disbands in the future, Lee Hyori will return to Big Hit."
This is the best plan after he thought about it.
We can use SM's platform to help Lee Hyori debut and grow without losing ownership of Lee Hyori, and we can also properly arrange Lee Hyori's future solo career.
Anyway, SM's first-generation group basically has a five-year itch. When the time comes, Lee Hyori, who returns after the group disbands, can repeat the solo trajectory.
Don’t think that this model is unique to Xiao Qian. In fact, it has already existed in the Korean music scene.
The famous JYP is like this.
Speaking of which, Lee Soo Man, Park Jin Young and Yang Hyun Suk are all very unique in the company's operations. This has also led to completely different endings between their artists and the company.
SM company was built by Lee Soo Man with all his hard work and accumulated capital after many years of hard work.
In Lee Soo Man's eyes, SM Company is his taboo, and everything in the company belongs to him. Anyone who dares to oppose him or resist him is a traitor and must be completely eliminated.
This is also the reason why every SM group will completely fall apart with the company after becoming extremely popular.
Lee Soo Man only regards these combinations as tools to make money, and believes that these people must obey him unconditionally.
But after the artists have experienced the naivety and ignorance in the early stage, and have seen the prosperity of the entertainment industry, they will definitely have their own demands. The contradiction between the two parties is irreconcilable, no one will give in, and in the end they can only break up.
As for artists who leave SM, there is almost only hatred between them and Lee Soo Man, and they will never interact with each other until death.
It was not until later, when SM developed sufficiently and Lee Soo Man's temperament became much gentler as he got older, that the situation slowly improved.
If SM artists leave with deep hatred, then YG artists leave with only resentment.
This is also related to Yang Hyun Suk’s life experience.
Like Lee Soo Man, he also debuted as an artist at the beginning. However, he did not act independently, but as a member of Seo Taiji and the Children.
If you listen to the name of this group, you will know that it is just a pendant of Xu Taiji.
It was that Seo Taiji was about to debut, but he was not strong enough alone and needed a few helpers, so the company randomly found two people to join in.
These two pendants can be Yang Hyun Suk and Lee Juno, or naturally they can be anyone A, B, C, or D.
During the period of Seo Taiji and his children, Yang Hyun Suk was a veritable little transparent person who really had no sense of existence.
To describe it in one sentence, at the age of eighteen, I stood like a gangster.
In addition, Yang Hyun Suk was born in an underground dance club, which is a place where strength is most valued. People with strength have unlimited fame, while those without strength are just happy.
The lackluster artist career and extreme personality have developed Yang Hyun Suk's vicious and vicious character.
In his eyes, he only values talented artists. He completely ignores those who are incompetent or worthless.
And even those with strength cannot escape his poisonous tongue.
If nothing else, to be able to say something like "You are the source of all evil" to a leading artist, you can imagine how terrifying he is in private.
Anyone who is familiar with YG knows that even though everyone is an artist, there are only a few who are famous. The rest of the people show a cautious look on their faces.
To put it bluntly, Bigbang's maknae went from being a simple young man to finally embarking on such a path, which was probably not without the stimulation of this boss.
In YG, once you lose value, you lose everything.
Just look at 2NE1 and you will know how successful they were when they debuted. But once their popularity faded, they were immediately thrown aside by the company.
When CL first debuted, she was called the female version of GD. In the end, she had no choice but to leave the company full of complaints.
Among the three major entertainment companies, the one with a relatively harmonious relationship between the company and its artists is naturally JYP.
And the person Xiao Qian borrows from is also JYP.
Park Jin Young's journey to start a business is a bit interesting.
He initially started an entertainment company, but it didn't make much of a difference. He was mainly active as a singer himself.
It was not until later that he wrote "Entertainment" for Uhm Jung-hwa that he entered the circle. During that period, Park Jin-young basically spent his time in the process of being a singer himself and writing songs for others.
When I was writing songs for others, I met other music producers because of the cooperation.
Hey, you are also running a company, why don't we cooperate?
It was with this idea in mind that Park Jin Young successively found Hong Seung Sung and Bang Si Hyuk, who later became the famous troika of JYP, and that was how JYP emerged.
Park Jin Young, Hong Seung Sung, and Bang Si Hyuk not only co-founded JYP, but also brought in some artists each.
It is this situation that makes JYP's artist contracts quite complicated.
From the first idol group GOD until 2PM and 2AM, JYP artists have been in different camps in terms of contracts.
Park Jin Young’s idea is that we all have a cooperative relationship.
If we get along, then we'll do it together; if we don't, if you want to leave, I'll say goodbye.
This is also the reason why so many artists who left JYP never had any grudges with Park Jin Young.
