Chapter 2087 Much Attention (1)
In two days, under the leadership of Hong Shengcheng, MC Company basically paved the way for T-ara to return, including the rankings and scenes of the TV station's song programs, as well as various itineraries and variety shows. After confirming the time, MC Company also completely announced the news of T-ara's return at this moment.
With the announcement of the news and time of T-ara's official return, the entire Korean music industry suddenly became uneasy. After all, everyone knows the current situation of T-ara. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Everyone is very curious. I wonder if T-ara can become another top girl group this time.
Although everyone is basically optimistic about T-ara's return this time and becoming the top girl group, after all, there is no big problem with becoming the top girl group.
However, everyone is still very curious and wants to see if T-ara will have any accidents on its own at this time, or MC company makes a major mistake, or even S?M company will send Girls' Generation to strongly block and suppress T-ara to the top.
At this time, in the office of the president of S?M Company, Kim Young-min also looked serious at Li Soo-man and Yu Yong-jin sitting opposite him with a hint of worry.
T-ara's return this time is clearly about to attack the top girl group. According to T-ara's current situation, once it rushes up, it will definitely face Girls' Generation directly with this momentum. Even because T-ara just reached the top and when it was the strongest, it is estimated that Girls' Generation is not T-ara's opponent for the time being, and she has to give in for the time being.
In desperation, Kim Young-min could only find Lee Soo-man and Yu Yong-jin for this matter, and planned to discuss it carefully with them. Facing T-ara's return to top, and then 100% becoming the biggest competitor of Girls' Generation, what should the current S?M company do and how to do it?
This is also because T-ara is an artist under MC. The MC company's strength in all aspects is much stronger than S?M. If it were other brokerage companies, they would not have any strength to do with S?M. If it were other brokerage companies, then Kim Young-min would not have any worries, and would not have found Li Xiuman and Yu Yongzhen to discuss it and directly play against each other.
Even if the other party knows, so what? Just find a scapegoat and explain to the outside world that you don’t know about this, and you have never issued such an order. All of this is your own decision. I have already punished this person the most severely. Don’t mind or get angry. All of this is a misunderstanding.
Then other brokerage companies also have no choice but to use S?M. Even if they know that it was intentional by S?M, it is useless. After all, their strength is not as strong as the other party. S?M is clearly cheating, and other brokerage companies also have no choice but to use S?M.
It’s not like you really fight with S?M for such a thing. Even if you are willing, you still have the strength and confidence and the qualification. If you really fight, you are not a match for S?M. You will pay a bigger price. Although S?M will also pay a certain price, in general, S?M will not suffer much loss, but other brokerage companies are probably going to be hurt or even be hit hard.
Under such a huge crowd, other brokerage companies can only swallow their anger when facing the rogue behavior of S?M. After all, they discovered it in time and there was no big loss. There was no need to fight S?M at the cost of completely destroying the brokerage company and fight S?M to the death.
However, this time, because T-ara is an artist under MC, and MC's strength in all aspects is much stronger than S?M, so at this time, Kim Young-min hesitated. After thinking about it again and again, he had to find Lee Soo-man and Yu Yong-jin to hear what their opinions on T-ara's return this time.
More importantly, Kim Young-min hopes to get some tips and support from Lee Soo-man and Yoo Yong-jin, whether to use evil means to deal with T-ara, what is the cost of doing this? If it really angers MC company, how much impact will it have on S?M company?
Although the relationship with Lee Soo-man and Yoo-jin was not very good, and even within the S?M company, both sides cheated each other when they had nothing to do, and the open and secret battles never stopped, but now facing the return of T-ara, Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man have to sit together.
After all, the two represent the two forces of S?M Company. No matter what, the two sides fight back and forth just to get more rights and interests in the company, that's all. From the starting point, both sides are just targeting each other, and everyone hopes that S?M Company can get better and better, so that it is in the interests of both parties.
"Director Lee Soo-man, I don't know what you think about T-ara's return this time?" Although everyone sat together and discussed T-ara's return, considering it for the sake of S?M, the two sides were in a competitive relationship after all. Over the years, there have been many conflicts and grudges, so Kim Young-min was too lazy to talk nonsense and play Tai Chi with Lee Soo-man. Instead, she asked very directly, forcing Lee Soo-man to give some ideas and suggestions directly, instead of perfunctory himself.
"T-ara's return this time is to hit the return of the top girl group. And according to T-ara's current situation and the strength of MC company, T-ara's return this time is not a big problem. Once T-ara becomes the top girl group, it will pose a huge threat and challenge to our company's Girls' Generation. It can even be said that once T-ara becomes the top girl group, the threat and pressure to our company's Girls' Generation will even exceed WonderGirls and Kara. So I don't know how to deal with T-ara's return now. Should I pretend to be unseen, or arrange for Girls' Generation to return with a single to block T-ara, or to play some conspiracy?"
"No!" Lee Soo-man certainly knew what Kim Young-min meant, and knew that Kim Young-min forced herself to express her thoughts and could not be perfunctory. Lee Soo-man didn't react much to this. After all, the return of T-ara to the top has a very big impact on Girls' Generation, and it can even be said to be the most direct impact. Then harmony also means that it has the most direct impact on S?M Company. Although Lee Soo-man competed with Kim Young-min in private, the two were still in agreement on major events about S?M Company.
Just as Kim Young-min finished speaking, Lee Soo-man shook his head decisively and stopped Kim Young-min's proposal.
Lee Soo-man squinted his eyes and looked at Kim Young-min and said lightly: "You should know that this time it's MC company, not the small brokerage companies we bullied before. The strength of MC company is there, which really angered MC company. If MC company chooses to fight with our S?M company to the death, the price will be too high and we can't afford it. Even if we barely support it, our S?M will be riddled with holes at that time, and the company's stock will plummet. Do you think that at that time, the members of the company's board of directors will still tolerate us?"
Kim Young-min was silent. Isn’t this nonsense? It must be impossible to accommodate it. Even if Lee Soo-man is the largest shareholder of S?M, he will probably be joined by the board members to completely drive Lee Soo-man out of S?M, so that Lee Soo-man can only enjoy dividends with the shares in his hands, but he can no longer interfere in any matters of S?M.
This is not impossible. Jobs was so awesome back then, and he was also kicked out of Apple.
"What's more, you have to know that Kim Yu-fan and Hong Seung-sung of MC are not polite and gentle people. I won't say that Kim Yu-fan is a young man, and he is full of energy and can easily be angered. You also know Hong Seung-sung. Although he usually smiles and looks gentle, anyone who plays conspiracy and tricks will be subjected to Hong Seung-sung's crazy counterattack and revenge. It seems that conspiracy and tricks and tricks have stimulated Hong Seung-sung, making Hong Seung-sung completely transform from a gentle person into a irritable person."
"MC Company has the leadership of two top-level people, Kim Yu-fan and Hong Seung-sung, and that is definitely a bomb. This happened before. The conflicts and competition between MC Company and KBS TV's performance department were enough to prove that MC Company was definitely not a suffocating personality under the leadership of Kim Yu-fan and Hong Seung-sung. You can use some tricks, unless you don't let MC Company know, otherwise once MC Company knows, it will retaliate against us S?M. This is too expensive and you can't try it, and there is no need to try it."
Kim Young-min didn't say anything, but she still recognized Lee Soo-man's words very much. MC company even dared to fight against KBS's performance department, and did not give in at all. In some ways, it was directly matched with the huge KBS TV station.
MC company will not even give in or be afraid of KBS TV, let alone S?M, which is much worse than MC company in all aspects. It is estimated that MC company will be even more crazy by then.
"I don't think there is any need for this." Yu Yongzhen, who had been silent at this time, also spoke up and expressed his thoughts: "In fact, even if T-ara's return this time has reached the top and become the top girl group in South Korea, it poses a great threat to Girls' Generation, and even directly suppress Girls' Generation, or even tramples Girls' Generation under her feet, but what does this matter? At least for our S?M company, it's not a matter of falling down and damaging the sky. We S?M are not unbearable."
"Although we S?M is not as strong as MC, it is not bad, and our foundation is there. Even if Girls' Generation is abolished by T-ara, we can still train more outstanding newcomers to replace Girls' Generation. However, once the methods are used to anger MC and are frantically retaliated and suppressed by MC, it will definitely be a tragic end, and the price will even exceed the price of losing several Girls' Generations."
Kim Young-min and Lee Soo-man didn't say anything. In fact, how could the two of them not understand what Yu Yong-jin said? Even Yu Yong-jin is a hot temper and only knows how to write songs. They can also see that, let alone Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min, two old foxes who have been playing conspiracy for the rest of their lives.
In fact, Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min also knew that they could not play any conspiracy against T-ara. After all, with Hong Seung-sung taking over, it would not have any effect. Otherwise, when Hong Seung-sung taking over JYP, GOD and Rain would not have developed so well.
When facing any conspiracy, Hong Shengcheng seems to have a special sense of smell, and he can discover it as soon as possible and then solve it as soon as possible.
Now, as the president of MC, Hong Shengcheng has a stronger MC company to make capital. This is not the case when Hong Shengcheng was in JYP before. Because JYP has little strength, even if he resolves some of S?M, he can only pretend to be ignorant and concentrate on developing the company. At this time, Hong Shengcheng can continue to play the conspiracy with S?M to target S?M. First of all, MC has the strength and capital, and secondly, he exhales the anger he had in JYP.
Even though you know that playing some evil things in front of Hong Shengcheng will not have any effect, you may not be sure to cause MC company to fight back furiously. This is too expensive and it is not worth the effort and cannot be done.
"Then, let's arrange for Girls' Generation to prepare a single, and specifically choose to release it when T-ara returns to prevent T-ara's return and affect T-ara's return?" A few seconds later, Kim Young-min looked at Lee Soo-man and asked calmly.
Facing Kim Young-min's inquiry, Lee Soo-man did not return to Kim Young-min. After thinking for a while, Lee Soo-man turned his head to look at Yoo-jin beside him and asked very seriously and seriously: "Yong-jin, if you are asked to create a high-quality song for Girls' Generation in this month to block T-ara's return, do you have confidence?"
Yu Yongzhen was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have not expected Li Xiuman to ask him this question. But soon, Yu Yongzhen, who came to his senses, knew why Li Xiuman asked this. It was obvious that Li Xiuman still planned to let Girls' Generation produce a single to block T-ara. Although it was a bit too much, it would at least have the effect of blocking T-ara. Even if it might not be able to prevent T-ara from becoming a top girl group, it would at least affect T-ara, which is enough.
However, the premise of all this is based on songs. Although Girls' Generation is now the number one girl group in Korea and has a high popularity and influence, if this time, it will definitely not work if there is no high-quality song.
If you talk about song creation, there is no doubt that Yu Yongzhen is very confident about it. After all, Yu Yongzhen does this and does it very well. He is S?M's well-deserved first male musician.
Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min also understood that the prerequisite for Girls' Generation to block T-ara is to have a good song. So, when they saw Yu Yong-jin thinking about this matter silently, they did not disturb Yu Yong-jin.
After all, in terms of song creation, there is no doubt that Yu Yongzhen is the absolute boss of S?M. It is because of Yu Yongzhen and S?M that he has cultivated excellent combinations, even top combinations, such as HOT, SES, Myth, Oriental Godqi, SuperJunior, Girls' Generation, etc., and S?M has also gone from an inconspicuous small brokerage company to one of the most powerful brokerage companies in South Korea today, and even has a great influence and popularity in Southeast Asia.
In a certain way, Yu Yongzhen is the first hero in the rise and development of S?M. Even without Lee Soo-man, Kim Soo-man and others will appear and continue to serve as the president of S?M. He will lead S?M to develop and move forward. Although Lee Soo-man has made great contributions to the development of S?M, he is not as good as Yu Yongzhen. At least even if Lee Soo-man stops doing it, other people cannot continue to carry S?M development. Kim Young-min has done a good job in recent years.
In contrast, Yu Yongzhen is the most indispensable person in S?M. If Yu Yongzhen had not continuously created excellent works, then S?M would not have been able to cultivate one top-level combination after another, and the company would not have benefited from it and continued to grow and grow.
After five minutes, Yu Yongzhen finally reacted. Mayor Yu Yong sighed, looked up at Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min, and shook their heads and smiled bitterly: "I'm not sure."
"If it were just other people, then I really didn't take the other party seriously. But this time it was T-ara, and behind it was MC's full support, and more importantly, there was Kim Yu-fan. If nothing unexpected happened, T-ara's main song this time must have been written and responsible by Kim Yu-fan. After all, T-ara's return this time is a top-notch combination. If you don't advance, you will retreat. This is impossible for MC company to know. Since you know, there will definitely be no despises, so the main song of T-ara's return this time will definitely be left to Kim Yu-fan for the responsibility."
