Chapter 76 Show off
The more Li Menglong knows about the entertainment industry, ** companies, and Girls' Generation, the more he values Kim Taeyeon's opinions, and he will listen as carefully as possible to each other's words.
It didn't depend on the other party's appearance or attitude. Just because she was the captain of Girls' Generation and got to where she is today, Li Menglong felt that the other party couldn't be that simple.
There may be some shortcomings in one aspect, but her experience in contacting companies, program crews, etc. is much stronger than that of him and all Girls' Generation. To put it simply, from the very beginning of Girls' Generation's album, she You have the right to participate in the behind-the-scenes production.
As for the fact that from being disheartened in the Black Sea, to turning around after Gee, and now becoming popular all over Asia, Girls' Generation has been going through almost zero scandals internally, and at least half of it must be attributed to Kim Taeyeon.
So after thinking for a while and seeing that the time was not too late, Li Menglong simply called Girls' Generation's manager Park Xiangmin: "Hello, I am Sunny's personal assistant Li Menglong. Do you still remember me?"
"Of course I remember. What's wrong? Did Sunny get into trouble? This kid has a bad temper!"
"No, everything is fine. Sunny is a very nice person." Li Menglong stopped talking nonsense to the other party and briefly explained the situation: "Is there any problem with the company?"
"It's not a big problem. You can ask the program team to come to the company to sign a contract with me. You don't know the specific details, right? I'll handle it." Park Xiangmin said lazily while lying on the sofa.
"This won't bother the company. I've almost finished the negotiation with you. I'm just coordinating the time with you." Li Menglong heard the other party's overtones very clearly. He didn't help at all and still wanted to extract a share. Is he crazy or thinks Li Menglong is crazy.
"Oh? Are you sure you don't need to ask Sunny for her opinion? You should get into this kind of thing slowly." Park Xiangmin slowly sat up and rubbed the corners of his eyebrows.
"There's always a first time. You can't trouble the company all the time. That's no problem. I'll confirm the contract and show it to you!" Li Menglong said without any doubt.
"Why are you calling me if you have such an idea?"
Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Li Menglong's brows almost furrowed. This Park Xiangmin's problem is not as big as usual, but for the time being, there won't be any big conflict with him. What will happen in the future can only happen later. Solved.
He reopened the book that was upside down by the bedside and took a sip of water. Gradually there was only the sound of turning pages in the room, and before he knew it, Xu Xian had already read half of the book he lent to Li Menglong.
Things went very smoothly in the next few days. The program team was even more anxious than Li Menglong. They got the approval in two days. The funds were not rich, but it was enough to save a little.
Next it was time to deal with the various guests, and the journey was smooth. Like JYP's Suzy, her company was so rich that they didn't even bother to bargain. They just promised a symbolic 500,000-per-episode performance fee after ensuring the basic shots.
The same is generally true for others. Lee Soo Geun's discussion was a little more laborious. After all, there is no shortage of programs and there are many people working with him. In the end, more money was spent. One episode cost 11 million. In the MC world, except for Liu Jae Suk, Shin Dong-yup's block is really high for Lee Soo-geun.
I originally thought that Sunny, who was holding a handful in his hand, was left at the end. Kim Sang-ho also wanted to keep the price down here and save some money as welfare for the crew. Unexpectedly, Li Menglong finally showed his ugly face at this time.
When it was confirmed that the finger extended by Li Menglong represented ten million and not one million, Jin Sanghao almost cursed his mother. Then he, the writer, and the maknae PD took turns to persuade Li Menglong.
As a result, Lee Mong-ryong stuck to his identity as Sunny Girls' Generation and a meritorious member of the first season, making the show without Lee Soon-kyu worthless, but what he said makes sense.
Originally, when negotiating the price, the price was always high and he would pay back the money, but Li Menglong would not drop a penny of ten million. If you want to talk about reason, he will talk to you about reason. If you want to talk about feelings, then talk about feelings. If you are ruthless, He left immediately.
In the end, Kim Sang-ho slapped the table, but it was of no use at all. The 10 million episode was just settled. It was like Kim Sang-ho had swallowed a mouse. All his previous efforts to reduce costs were in vain, and he was left with only Several million in activity funds.
When Li Menglong came back with the signed contract, he thoroughly enjoyed the treatment of an emperor. Li Shunkyu was like a human transport plane. He didn't even let Li Menglong change the channel, but she changed it on the side.
The contract was placed where she could see it at any time, and she smiled like a hamster stealing oil.
As for the price, Li Shunkyu couldn't be more satisfied. Objectively speaking, the price is not expensive for her and she can afford it. But she belongs to the type that has a price but no market. To put it harshly, with 10 million, she can hire a team of idols. That is to say, the timing of Li Menglong's card is better. Just like when selling a house, if the house is urgently sold, then naturally both sides have to compromise on the price.
While Lee Mong-ryong was eating the high-end ice cream that Lee Soon-kyu had forcibly distributed, Girls' Generation's private group was also very lively. As Lee Soon-kyu posted the photo of the contract, there was a chorus of congratulations.
"Unnie Dafa! I'll make a guest appearance for you after I finish filming the TV series!" Yun Bo said.
"Wow, please support me!" Taihua said.
"Congratulations, Unnie!" the maknae said.
"Hey, can you please stop talking below me? Our styles don't match!" Taihua.
"Unnie~~" the maknae said.
"Bullying the maknae again!" Mr. Quan said.
"Thank you Yulioni!" the maknae said.
"Don't call me yet!" Mr. Quan.
"I guess the maknae must be canceling the last message now, haha." Taihua.
"Okay, everyone who is free today will come over for dinner. Report on time at 5 o'clock. Don't wait if late." Little Sun.
"Private Kim Taeyeon salutes our sun! Arrive ten minutes early!" Taehwa.
"Fifteen minutes early!" Mushroom t.
"You are right next to me, why did you arrive earlier than me?" Taihua.
"Thank you, Unnie, I will be there on time!" said the maknae.
"I told you that our styles don't match, so don't stay under me? Otherwise, I'll beat you?" Taihua.
"So noisy? Are everyone going crazy? Can't you just sleep peacefully?" Queen.
"Flash" the little sun.
"+1" Taihua.
"+2" Mushroom t.
……
Looking at Li Shunkyu holding the contracted child, Li Menglong was also sincerely happy. He finally lived up to her trust. Thinking about all the things they had done since they met, he unconsciously looked at her and became stunned.
