The conditions Li Xiuman offered to Sun Tao were indeed not low. He immediately said that he would pay Sun Tao billions in copyright fees. How many billions! Although it is in Korean won, it does sound very NICE.
Lee Soo Man also said that if BoA's singing voice appears on the stage of "If You Are the One", it will definitely add a lot of color to the show.
Sun Tao originally wanted Yanjing TV to use his songs for free, and he has always done so in the past. He paid the planning fee for the variety show, and he did not charge copyright fees for his songs to appear in the show.
After hearing what Sun Tao said, Li Xiuman's eyes widened, "NONONONO, President Sun, that's not how the account is calculated. You were deceived by the TV station. Although the planning fee of several hundred million won seems high, you don't know these vampires at all. No matter how much you earn from advertisers, you don’t pay much attention to your own rights.”
Li Xiuman spoke very fast when he was excited. Li Dongen was worried that Sun Tao wouldn't understand, so he translated it into Chinese for him. At the end, he added his own opinions, "... President Sun, you are a super, super productive producer. People, but you don’t know that many producers only have one or two programs or one or two songs that can be broadcast on TV in their lifetime. There are countless scraps behind every program and every song... You really should listen Listen to our Chairman Li’s opinion.”
Stones from other mountains can attack jade.
Sun Tao believes in being open to all rivers. Although he doesn't have a good impression of Koreans, Sun Tao is still willing to listen to suggestions if they are beneficial to him.
After chatting for hours, the two parties reached an intention to cooperate.
Both parties will provide convenience for the other party's artists to perform in their own countries;
Both parties will invite each other's artists in their respective variety shows;
Under the same conditions, both parties will have priority in having the right to cover the other party's songs;
In the future, we may exchange trainees and jointly own part of the trainee contracts;
Finally, Sun Tao also invited SM artists to join the Weibo website Sun Tao just created if they log in to China. Although the website has just been established, Andy Lau, Jackie Chan, Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, and many other big names have already gained hundreds of thousands of fans on it...
Lee Soo Man took a look at Sun Tao's presentation and readily agreed, and asked BoA and TVXQ's managers to get started quickly.
Of course, the bosses only talk about intentions, and Tang Lei or Xu Youwei will naturally discuss the specific details with SM.
After discussing the cooperation, Li Xiuman personally took Sun Tao to the third floor. Boa was performing in Japan. Now there are more than a dozen young men training on the third floor. Some of them are dancing on the field and more than a dozen people are watching.
Lee Soo Man introduced Sun Tao. The people dancing on the stage were: Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun, Kim Junsu, Jung Yunho, and Shim Changmin. They are TVXQ who have just debuted less than a year ago. SM is ready to promote this group to both China and Japan.
The onlookers outside the court are also the best among the trainees. They are about to form a team, and the team name has been decided, SuperJunior.
The big boss came, and the young man leaning on the ground and the TVXQ group who were training all stood up and said hello to the boss.
Lee Soo Man pulled over one by one, "Park Jung Soo, Kim Heechul, Kim Jong Woon, Shin Dong Hee, Lee Sung Min, Lee Hyuk Jae, Choi Si Won, Lee Dong Hae, Kim Rye Wook, Jo Kyuhyun...these are the future of our company."
The average age of TVXQ is 18, and the average age of SuperJunior is 16. They are rebellious ages and have all kinds of strange makeup. The only thing they have in common is the fear of Lee Soo Man.
Li Xiuman pulled his hand over, and Sun Tao saw a few young men visibly shaking.
Maybe they had been beaten in the past, or like Yoona and Nami who suddenly appeared in Sun Tao's room, they had already passed SM's obedience training and tests, and their fear and obedience to their bosses were deeply rooted in their bones.
……
There was a time when Sun Tao was disgusted with handsome boys.
But later he also understood that this was a semi-colonial tragedy and could not be blamed on any specific young person.
……
Sun Tao himself is also the boss, but his trainees have never treated him like this. Although there is a contract, the manager and boss always coax and support good talents. They may also climb onto Sun Tao's bed, but they do so for various purposes, and there is absolutely no obedience involved.
In fact, when Sun Tao was driving Didi, he also met some girls. They looked down on drivers like Sun Tao who drove jobs. Listening to their phone calls, you can tell that those selling sales will not be obedient to customers unless your money is real. It’s in place!
What other obedience test do you want to play?
You're lucky if those ladies don't scratch your face.
……
Although the boys didn't know Sun Tao, seeing that the big boss and the big agent were all polite to him, they thought he might be the son of some chaebol family. They bowed respectfully to Sun Tao and said hello. When they knew that he was a big producer and he also wrote Sun Tao, whose "Gangnam STYLE" helped Korean pop music invade Europe and the United States...
Sun Tao could bear it when Yoona and Nami came over to hug their thighs and groped around on their bodies, but if it were a bunch of young guys... Eh! I have goosebumps...
——
On September 24, 2004, Friday, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Tao and his party took an international flight back to Yanjing.
There are two people in charge of CCTV, one is the team leader Zhou Zhiqiang, and the other is the director Li Feng. The team members are composed of translators, reporters, photographers, etc. Sun Tao is a small star.
Originally, this group of people were afraid that Sun Tao would stage a show and cause some trouble, but it turned out that Sun Tao was very polite to everyone, followed the rules and did not cause any trouble, and even shared some of the Korean ginseng and other gifts given by Li Xiuman to everyone.
CCTV had a car to pick him up at the airport, and Sun Tao also had a car to pick him up. The two parties left each other's contact information and said goodbye.
The expressionless Leng Feng (Zhang Shan) drove the Buick with license plate number Beijing A.1628 bought by Qin Boya. When he saw Sun Tao, he first looked around before reaching out to take Sun Tao's newly bought large suitcase.
"Hey, Zhang Shan, why are you here? Where is Yan Feng?"
"Enrollment Promotion."
Zhang Shan doesn't talk much. What Sun Tao likes mainly is the sense of security he can bring to everyone.
Seeing that he couldn't get any information from Zhang Shan, Sun Tao got into the car with him and exchanged his Korean phone card for a domestic phone card.
[Ding...ding...ding...ding] There was a ding ding ding ding. Someone called Sun Tao. Although there is no record, the text messages are always stored in Telecom.
Sun Tao watched for a while and then decisively said to Zhang Shan: "Old Zhang, I will put the suitcase in and come out in 15 minutes. I have to go back to the film school to sleep at night."
Zhang Shan glanced at the rearview mirror and was surprised. The love-making relationship between men and women did not touch his bottom line. However, working under such a scumbag still made him feel a little uncomfortable. It wasn’t for Wang Dong who repeatedly told him that Sun Tao was a good person. If not... well, what’s the point of being able to fight? He could still rob a bank...
Zhang Shan said in a deep voice: "That courtyard is now the Pansi Cave. You may not be able to come out if you go in. How about I call you."
Sun Tao laughed loudly, "Forget it, it's not as serious as you said. Us Chinese girls are quite reserved, MD, but Korean girls are crazy... uh... haha."
If it were Yan Feng, he would definitely be interested in asking about the crazy tricks of Korean girls, but Zhang Shan was not interested in this topic at first glance, and Sun Tao ended the topic with a smile.
There were several text messages sent by Xu Youwei: [Boss, CCTV has asked Girls’ Generation to come over to record the program. You are great this time. The girls are very happy. 】
[Boss, why didn’t you tell me about such a good thing like performing abroad? The girls are going crazy. 】
[Boss, have you gone abroad for inspection? Why don't you tell me in advance that the girls are very disappointed not to see you? 】
The last one was from three days ago: [Boss, in order to save you money, the girls have come to live in your courtyard...hehehehe...this is your chance. But you have to be careful, there are Mr. Qi’s confidants inside, hahaha. 】(End of this chapter)
