Chapter 1260 Confirmation
Kim Yu-fan values Huayi Brothers' status and influence in the Chinese entertainment industry, including his own strength, connections, and various channels. Similarly, Kim Yu-fan also firmly believes that MC company is definitely not a small character who has nothing in front of Huayi Brothers, but only relies on holding Huayi Brothers' thighs to make a living.
Huayi Brothers have strong strength in the fields of film and TV series, but in the music industry, their strength is obviously very weak, and it is even completely incompatible with Huayi Brothers' current status in the Chinese entertainment industry.
In this case, Kim Yu-fan didn't believe it. The two brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei had no idea and did not want the Huayi brothers to start rising in the music industry.
In this regard, I’m sorry, MC company has very strong strength. Huayi Brothers cooperates with MC company to carry out multi-faceted cooperation. Even if MC company does not make a comeback, many things will not be hidden from Huayi Brothers. As long as Huayi Brothers are determined and sending people with intention to learn humbly, they will definitely learn a lot from it.
Perhaps in a short period of time, Huayi Brothers' hard power in music cannot be enhanced, but as long as you study patiently and have a qualitative improvement in soft power, it will definitely have a qualitative improvement. In the future, as long as you meet a good singer and find a few excellent music creators or a few good songs, Huayi Brothers will truly rise in the music industry.
After all, music is not just about doing well in musical works, but also has a huge and complex set of logistics and procedures.
"Then Kim Yu-fan, do you mean that your MC company China branch will be incorporated into our Huayi Brothers?" Wang Zhonglei couldn't help asking.
"Of course, that's what I mean." Kim Yu-fan said with a smile: "After all, only after being incorporated into your Huayi Brothers will Huayi Brothers treat MC China Branch as their own, and will also provide more care and resource support. After all, put your heart in it. If it were me, the other party would just borrow my strength to develop, but I did not get any benefits, and I would not be so generous to help the other party, right?"
"This is right." Wang Zhongjun nodded and said, "Although it sounds a bit bad, and even a bit philanthropic, this is reality. Since it is cooperation, it must be beneficial for both parties to cooperate and continue to cooperate in a friendly manner."
Kim Yu-fan nodded and said nothing. Although it was realistic, there was nothing we could do about it. No one could help you for no reason. Many times, even if you gave a lot of benefits, others might not necessarily help you.
"So Kim Yu-fan, you plan to merge MC China branch into our Huayi Brothers and become our subsidiary. How is it merged into the law?"
At this time, Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but ask. After all, Wang Zhonglei is now in charge of Huayi Brothers. For example, MC China Branch merged into Huayi Brothers and became a subsidiary of Huayi Brothers. The future series of cooperation and some matters must be explained in advance, and these matters are all responsible and resolved by Wang Zhonglei, the executive president.
As for Wang Zhongjun, he is just the chairman of Huayi Brothers. He basically doesn't interfere in anything. Only when encountering major events will Wang Zhongjun come forward and make a decision.
For example, during this cooperation, Wang Zhongjun stood up and expressed his willingness to cooperate with MC. As for how to cooperate or how to cooperate, no matter what Wang Zhongjun is, it is the responsibility of Wang Zhonglei, the executive president.
"First of all, MC China Branch, merged into Huayi Brothers, became a subsidiary of Huayi Brothers. For this reason, our MC China Branch can give up 20% of the shares. Perhaps this share is of no value at the moment, but this is at least an attitude. At the same time, we also need absolute and sufficient freedom, because in terms of music, our MC company will have its own set of habits and systems. I am worried that it will be different from China at that time, so as not to cause trouble."
"At the same time, I hope that when I, or my MC company, who are entering China in the future, Huayi Brothers can use their connections and channels to promote as much as possible when preparing singles or new albums. At the same time, all activities in China can be temporarily handed over to Huayi Brothers for responsibility. As long as it is not too excessive, we will actively cooperate. In terms of artists' professional ethics and attitudes, I believe that Korean artists still have a reputation."
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei nodded without saying anything. To say that artists have professional attitudes, Korean artists are famous throughout Southeast Asia. Especially as the influence of Korean waves becomes greater and greater, more and more people are beginning to pay attention to the Korean entertainment industry, so naturally they also learned that popular Korean artists basically only sleep for three or four hours a day when they are busy, and can persist for a few months in one breath. This is the position of the Chinese arts’ people’s rights, and it is difficult to stick to it.
Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other. After receiving Wang Zhongjun's gesture, Wang Zhonglei spoke: "There is no problem with this. We Huayi Brothers are willing to cooperate with MC company. Not only Jin Yufan, but also all the artists under MC company. As long as we are willing to come to China to develop, we Huayi Brothers are willing to give the greatest help and support. If it is a movie or TV series, our Huayi Brothers will arrange the best."
"If it's music, although we Huayi Brothers don't understand it very much, we will do our best to cooperate and support it. At the same time, we will also be at the critical moment. Before the conflict breaks out, we will finally decide to make the decision. After all, in terms of music, we Huayi Brothers are indeed too weak at the moment. This is a fact and there is nothing to cover up. We are definitely not the kind of person who is showing off for the sake of face and ends up hurting both sides."
Speaking of this, Wang Zhonglei paused for a moment and continued to speak: "However, 20% is still too small in terms of shares. We Huayi Brothers are not greedy people, but we must pay a lot of manpower and material resources at that time, and we also need to help you with a lot of things. It can even be said that your people only need to record albums and sing good songs. The rest is the responsibility of our Huayi Brothers. In this case, 20% of the shares are indeed less, and at least it is not worth the price of our Huayi Brothers' comeback and so much effort."
"Then President Wang, what do you mean?" Kim Yu-fan didn't respond, just asked back.
"Our Huayi Brothers' requirements are very simple, that is, we must guarantee the interests of our Huayi Brothers. We are not domineering and unreasonable, nor do we ask for a controlling stake. But we are very confident about our own strength and the strength of MC company in music. Although the MC China branch has just begun and its shares are not worth much, I believe that with the cooperation between our two parties, the MC China branch will definitely rise. In that case, the shares will be valuable. Our Huayi Brothers have paid so much and only got 20% of the shares. This is too little, at least we also need 45% of the shares."
Jin Yufan did not respond much to Wang Zhonglei's proposal to control 45% of the shares of MC China Branch, let alone Wang Zhonglei spoke up and took advantage of the situation to rob.
After all, the current MC China branch is really just an inconspicuous small company, and shares are not valuable. Only by cooperating with Huayi Brothers, with success again and again, may the MC China branch continue to grow and become stronger in a few years, and shares will become more and more valuable. However, the premise is that both parties must cooperate. Huayi Brothers must also give MC China branch sufficient support and resources in the early stages.
But for Kim Yu-fan, there are still too many 45% shares. To put it bluntly, if Kim Yu-fan nodded now, Huayi Brothers would not have to do anything and would not fulfill their promises, and would have taken 45% of the shares of MC China Branch in vain. Although the MC China Branch is not worth much now, it is not a big loss.
"There are still too many 45% shares, just 30%. "After a few seconds of silence, Kim Yu-fan gave in.
"30% is not enough, I'll take a step back, 40%!" Wang Zhonglei said firmly.
Although the atmosphere between the two sides was very good before, now when talking about interests, both sides will naturally fight for every inch of land and refuse to give in to each other. After all, when you are doing business, be polite and give in at this time, maybe it will seriously damage your own interests in the future.
"33%, after all, I still have enough shares left. I will take it out to find a network of relationships and use it to retain talents." Kim Yu-fan thought for a while and said firmly.
In Kim Yu-fan's plan, at least 10% of the shares must be left to build his own network of relationships, which means that for people with relatively energy, identity and status, let the other party become a shareholder of the MC China branch, and in the future, they can also protect the MC China branch.
At the same time, Kim Yu-fan also needs enough shares. At that time, no one is willing to work for the company for the rest of his life to the outstanding artists of the MC China branch that have begun to rise. At that time, the company will give a portion of the shares and leave the pillars of these companies. This is the best method and method for Director Liu of the company.
Look at the current situation of many brokerage companies in the Korean entertainment industry, they use their company shares to retain important talents.
Well~~~ Of course, MC companies don’t need these at the moment, because MC companies are different, with the highest treatment, loose agreements, sufficient freedom and a good internal atmosphere. Even if the shares are not given, MC’s artists will not leave.
As for the lack of shares and the artist's income is low, I'm sorry, the MC's chairman Kim Yu-hwan is not short of money, and the other two shareholders Yoo Jae-suk and Hong Seung-sung are not people who value money so much, so the contracts given to artists, especially in terms of profit distribution, are very excellent.
As long as you can stay in MC companies for ten years, the contracts will basically be opened at 5:5 at that time. This is definitely a way of distribution of interests that other Korean brokerage companies dare not open at all. It is also a way of distribution of interests that artists from other Korean companies envy.
With this way of distribution of interests, it doesn’t matter whether there is a company’s shares. Anyway, if you work hard over the past year, you will definitely make more money than many artists who own company shares.
To put it bluntly, for S?M Company, the artist with the most shares should be considered BOA. But even among the artists of S?M, the one with the most shares of S?M, is not much. In fact, there is no dividend at the end of the year. If the shares are profitable, it is better to say that they are symbolic.
To be honest, the dividends received by BOA, plus his personal income, are even worse than the four people in Fin.K.L. There is no way, who can make MC company treat well and distribute benefits to artists generously?
Of course, BOA makes a lot of money in Japan, while Fin.K.L is four people. If it is just an individual, its income cannot be compared with BOA. But if Lee Hyori had just gone solo, the money he earned was enough to kill BOA with the MC company's artist contract interest distribution model.
Finally, during a negotiation, Kim Yu-fan and Wang Zhonglei finally determined the shares. Huayi Brothers invested in shares through their own channels, connections and various resources, accounting for 35% of the original shares of MC China Branch.
The agreement on shares has been made, which means that the matter is basically done. The next thing is a little bit of details, but these little details, whether it is Kim Yu-fan or the Wang brothers, don't care about them.
"By the way, Xiao Jin, what are your plans now? Do you plan to return to the Chinese music scene by yourself or let artists from MC company enter the Chinese entertainment industry?" Because the two parties are now in a cooperative relationship and have been initially negotiated, the relationship between the two parties has naturally taken a big step forward. Now the Wang brothers named Kim Yu-fan have also begun to call Xiao Jin, which is a more intimate title.
"If it's a movie, we Huayi Brothers are going to invest in "Tai Chi? Start from Scratch" and "Painted Skin 2". If you have someone who is suitable, we can also find a way to arrange it. Although it won't be the male and female protagonists, it's still OK to arrange a good role. Recently, Korean waves have become popular in China. You can try it in the crew. If the effect is good, we can also package it and you can completely enter the Chinese entertainment industry by then."
To be honest, Kim Yu-fan was still very moved by Wang Zhongjun's proposal, but after careful consideration, he shook his head and rejected Wang Zhongjun's proposal. After all, MC company itself is just starting out in film and television, and it is not tenable in South Korea. Perhaps it is because of its small strength, so there is no strength and time to enter the Chinese market.
"There is no such plan or consideration yet." Kim Yu-fan shook his head: "At present, my MC company is in South Korea, and the film and television industry is just starting out. The foundation is still unstable. Now there is no one or time to enter China. Let's wait a little longer in this regard. When it's almost the same, I will arrange for artists to come and enter the Chinese film and television industry. After all, with such a big sign and advantage of Huayi Brothers, it would be a pity if I don't use it."
How to arrange the MC company? This is MC company and also Kim Yu-fan's private matter, so Wang Zhongjun didn't think much about it, just nodded and said, "So what do you mean is that you plan to start from the music industry recently?"
"Yes, it's the music scene." Kim Yu-fan nodded and said, "My meaning is very simple, that is, I want to return to the Chinese music scene. It has been several years since I calculated it. I didn't expect that there are still many fans in China who have been supporting me and waiting for me. This also touched me very much. In addition to returning to the Chinese music scene, I can't think of any way to repay those fans who have been supporting and waiting, so I can only release an album."
"At the same time, our MC company is currently very powerful in the music industry. Our company has also begun to ask artists to start learning English, Japanese and Chinese. The missA combination is almost the same. At least there are two Chinese members. There is no problem with the simplest Chinese exchange. I plan to let missA enter the Chinese music industry first. As for other artists, they will decide according to the situation."
"Oh, Xiao Jin, are you planning to return to the Chinese music scene?" Wang Zhongjun was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously. After seeing Kim Yu-fan nodding, he couldn't help but say excitedly: "Haha, that's really great. To be honest, I have always admired your musical talent. Your musical talent has been thoroughly proven in South Korea. In China, one album could break the single album sales record of Jacky Cheung's God of Songs. This is a miracle!"
"So, you plan to make a Chinese album yourself like a few years ago, and take charge of and handle all the songs yourself?"
"Half!" Kim Yu-fan was silent for a while before answering: "I will create a few songs for the new album to ensure the quality of the songs as much as possible. As for other songs, I hope Huayi Brothers can help me collect the songs. After all, the situation is different now. I don't need to use a whole album of good songs like I did when I first entered the Chinese music scene a few years ago. As far as the heartbeat of the company's management is concerned, that's not a good deal."
"Haha, that's the same." Wang Zhongjun said with a smile.
Wang Zhonglei: "By the way, Xiaojin, when do you plan to return to the Chinese music scene? Give me a rough time, and I can start to prepare for you. Although we, Huayi Brothers, can really not help you in other aspects, but in terms of connections, public relations, and publicity, our Huayi Brothers still have good strength and can guarantee that we can give you the greatest support."
"It should be in the first half of next year. I am currently participating in a movie performance and director in South Korea. After finishing this movie, it will be almost the Chinese New Year, and I will be busy for a while. After finishing the business, I will come to China to release a new Chinese album. After it is released, I will go to the United States to participate in the filming of the third part of "Twilight".
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Xiao Jin, you are doing well in Hollywood. It can be said that in terms of American values, the box office of the movies you earned in "Twilight" in the two movies are even higher than that of our Chinese Brother Chen Long in the minds of many Hollywood producers. Who made Hollywood a place that only looks at value and interests?"
Although Chen Long succeeded in Hollywood, the time was short, and he finally returned to China. In the case of Hollywood who can guarantee the box office of the movie and make money for companies and investors, who is the old man, Kim Yu-fan achieved a big box office with the two movies of "Twilight". In the minds of many Hollywood film companies and producers, he is definitely the number one Asian actor.
Well~~~ Of course, if one day Kim Yu-fan participated in the box office, then xenophobia, irony and attack would follow. At that time, Kim Yu-fan would be kicked out by Hollywood. Even if he was not kicked out, Kim Yu-fan would lose everything at that time and would never have the glory he is now.
