Chapter 1308 New Year's Plan (1)
Because of Akimoto Kawashi's forced him like this, both Kim Yu-hwan and BOA were in a bad mood. Even though he finally watched AKB48's performance with face, in fact, neither Kim Yu-hwan nor BOA actually watched it seriously.
Although he did not watch it seriously, Kim Yu-fan also discovered many eye-catching things from AKB48's performance.
The performance of AKB48, as well as the strength of the members themselves, and the different styles, especially the large number of people, can indeed attract countless fans in a short period of time.
There is no way, if there are too many people, it means having great power. No matter what type of female artist you like, whether you have a personality, or appearance, don’t worry, you can find it here in AKB48.
You should know that AKB48 is a super group with more than 100 people, divided into many teams, but no matter which person you like, in the end, it is equivalent to liking AKB48 and becoming a fan of AKB48.
This is still from the AKB48 headquarters. In another two or three years, the AKB48 headquarters plus the Shanghai foreign group will definitely exceed 400 people. Damn, such a terrifying and huge combination team is unprecedentedly certain, and I believe that no one will come later will be the same.
At this point, although Kim Yu-fan was unhappy about Akimoto Kawak, he had to admit that Akimoto Kawak was indeed a very awesome. Being able to control such a large number of people, more importantly, makes this group develop very well, which is indeed very rare.
Think about it when AKB48 was just established in 2005, there were only 7 people in the first two performances. Now, five years have passed and it has become Japan's top team group, the most popular and influential team group. This is indeed not easy.
After all, don’t forget that the Japanese music scene is completely opposite to the music scene. They are basically all solo singers. Look at the singers, they are all solo singers, not so-called team combinations.
After watching the performance of AKB48, he refused Akimoto Katsuyaki's banquet on the grounds that he needed to record "We Are Married". To put it bluntly, Kim Yu-hwan and BOA just didn't want to deal with Akimoto Katsuyaki, and then left AKB48 Theater and began the journey.
Kim Yu-fan spent three days in Japan. After BOA adjusted his itinerary in these three days, Kim Yu-fan and BOA were together. With the cover of the "We Are Married" program team, they played again in Tokyo.
Early in the morning of the fourth day, Kim Yu-fan left BOA reluctantly, took the flight to South Korea, and returned to South Korea again.
When he returned to South Korea, Kim Yu-hwan certainly needed to handle the company's affairs, and then sat with Hong Seung-sung and discussed the main development direction of MC's company next year, that is, 2012.
"Let's talk about the film and television department first. Yufan, what plans do you think our company's film and television department should have next year?" In Kim Yufan's office, Kim Yufan and Hong Seung-sung sat in person to discuss.
"In terms of the film and television department, I think we must stick to a TV series and a movie." Speaking of the film and television department, Kim Yu-fan thought about it before speaking: "The company's film and television department is developing very well, and the company has more excellent actors than before. These must be paid attention to and used. In my opinion, a TV series and a movie are far from enough. But for the sake of safety, the current plan is still planned according to the old rules of a TV series and a movie. If there is enough time or other reasons, it will be added if necessary."
Hong Shengcheng nodded and said, "Yeah~~~ That's right, I mean it. However, in terms of TV series and movies, our MC company can be more flexible, and there is no need to completely separate the company from the outside world. Although some people are targeting our MC Film and Television Department now, we are just individuals and a minority after all, and we cannot resent for this and draw a clear line with each other completely. This is very wrong."
"I think that when our MC company's film and television department and movie production are produced, we can also find suitable actors outside the company. Of course, we will also be deceived several times. This time, looking for suitable actors is to simply find resources and a new cooperation. At that time, the other party must also give us MC certain benefits. At least the other party participates and can interfere in the TV series or movies. How can our MC actors appear? This is fair and normal!"
"Well, I understand, brother!" Kim Yu-fan nodded and said nothing.
The truth is still the same, and Kim Yu-fan also understands it. Nowadays, the most taboo thing is monopoly, and the most disliked thing is eating alone.
Although MC has the strength and ability to digest TV series and movies internally, doing so is nothing more than eating alone.
Although MC does not owe others anything and does not need help from others, you can’t eat alone, because everyone will become jealous and very jealous and dissatisfied when they see it.
At that time, you would not think that you would solve your own business in your MC company. On the contrary, you would resent the MC company because of this. Why do you like to eat alone? I don’t know how to share some of it. In this very robbery mentality, if MC eats alone, it is very likely that MC will be jointly suppressed and targeted by all actor agency companies and film and television production companies, and the consequences are not something that MC companies can bear.
Although Kim Yu-fan doesn't care even if he encounters such a thing, Kim Yu-fan can't care, but he can't help but consider and consider the actors under MC.
Although there are not many actors under MC, there are still a few people. MC company cannot produce its own movies and TV series, and they have suitable roles for these actors. In this case, MC's actors will still participate in other crews.
Once eating alone causes public outrage, they will join forces to suppress it. Kim Yu-hwan is rich and doesn't care how much money the MC company makes, but for MC's actors, especially their personal development, it will definitely be a fatal blow.
Therefore, eating alone is absolutely undesirable. I didn’t see that even the S?M company at its peak, when the tyrant Li Xiuman was in power, it did not really eat alone. It was not that I had thought that I was really afraid of arousing public outrage and dared not.
"The company's movie "National Representative" has been released. With the trend of next year's London Olympics, the box office of "National Representative" is very good. It has now reached 8.7 million viewers, and it is estimated that it may reach 9 million viewers in the end. This is good news. But now, not only me, but I believe everyone is looking forward to your "Rogue of Thieves". By the way, how is your "Rogue of Thieves" filming? Can you get good results?"
Faced with Hong Seung-sung's curiosity, Kim Yu-fan said confidently: "Brother, don't worry, I dare not say anything else, but in terms of box office of "The Thieves Alliance", it is at least better than "National Representative", which is undoubtedly."
The box office of "The League of Thieves" is stronger than that of "National Representative". If nothing unexpected happens, the number of viewers of "National Representative" will exceed 9 million, and "The League of Thieves" is even stronger than "National Representative". Doesn't this mean that the number of viewers of "The League of Thieves" is also a movie with tens of millions.
Thinking of this, Hong Shengcheng couldn't help but widen his eyes, looking at Kim Yu-fan with disbelief and asked: "Ten million viewers, no, Yu-fan, you are really so confident."
"That's a must." Kim Yu-fan nodded calmly, looking at Hong Seung-sung who still didn't believe it, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother, you're not the first day you know me. When did I say something I have not fulfilled, I'm not the kind of arrogant person. Since I dare to say it, I'm sure. If you don't believe it, then we will talk about this at the box office after "The Thieves Alliance" is released."
"No, no, I'm just surprised!" Hong Shengcheng quickly waved his hand to explain, so as not to make Kim Yu-fan feel uncomfortable: "But, there are only a few movies in our country that have exceeded tens of millions of viewers. You only filmed "Sunshine Sisters" and got a good result of tens of millions of viewers. The second "Robber League" can also exceed tens of millions of viewers. This is really shocking. To be honest, it is normal for me not to believe it."
Kim Yu-fan shook his head with disdain: "Brother, who am I? I am Kim Yu-fan! Please don't compare me with the actors of Zhongwu-ro. If they can't do it, it doesn't mean that I, Kim Yu-fan. Tens of millions of viewers are exaggerated. What's the exaggeration about this? The movie ticket is 10,000 won. Even if it's a good result of 15 million viewers, the final result of our MC company is only 60 billion won. In terms of conversion, it's only 48 million US dollars, not even 50 million US dollars."
He seemed to be very disdainful of the revenue of less than 50 million US dollars. Kim Yu-fan said with disdain: "Brother, you have to know that the global box office of "Twilight? Crescent" directed by me before had received $850 million. If this movie was completely invested and produced by our MC company, it would eventually receive $340 million in box office revenue."
Finally, looking at Hong Seung-sung who was stunned, Kim Yu-fan asked with a smile: "Now, brother, do you think the number of lights and shadows in the movie "Rogue" can make the company earn $48 million a lot even if it reaches a terrifying 15 million?"
Hong Shengcheng: “…”
After a while, Hong Seung-sung came back to his senses, looked at Kim Yu-fan with a calm face and couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head and said, "Haha, Yu-fan, although he said that, he can't count like this. Okay, OK, even if "The Thieves Alliance" exceeds 15 million viewers, it's not a big deal."
After hurriedly ending this topic, Hong Shengcheng once again focused on the variety show.
"By the way, Yufan, what do you think our MC company will arrange for variety shows next year?"
"In terms of variety shows, our MC company is relatively nothing. After all, in variety shows, our MC company has no time at all. Not to mention our MC company, any agency is the same. After all, variety shows are still in the field of TV stations. We can't fight or compete with TV stations."
Hong Shengcheng couldn't help but nodded. In terms of variety shows, it is indeed the territory of the TV station, and the agency can't do anything: "Yes, this is still the territory of the TV station, and our agency can only be passive. Let's not talk about some time ago that we and KBS TV have had some minor problems because of "Youth Invincible". Although this matter was solved on the surface, I can be sure that in the future, our MC people will not be able to have a good time on KBS TV's variety shows."
"It doesn't matter. At worst, you can go on less KBS variety shows. There are MBC and SBS, or even M-net, and you don't have to go on KBS variety shows." Speaking of this, Kim Yu-fan was also very upset: "If it weren't for considering that KBS TV is a national TV station, we can't do it too much and give some face. Otherwise, I really don't want our MC artists to be on any KBS show, whether it's a variety show or "Music Bank".
"So, in variety shows, let's watch it, let the company's artists take more ace variety shows, not ace variety shows, unless it's a favor, otherwise it's less. Anyway, our company doesn't need artists to work so hard to make some meager performance fees. It's better to let the company's artists take a good rest if they have that time."
"Of course, in terms of variety shows, Brother Shi is a national MC, and has strong connections and relationships in the variety show field. He also has several ace variety shows. We can make use of this and let the people who lead the company to take on his ace variety show."
Hong Shengcheng smiled and nodded and said, "Haha, this is certain. With Yoo Jae-suk, it is much more convenient for us MC artists to appear on variety shows. At the same time, don't forget the fuse of our fall in love with KBS TV. This program is the responsibility of our MC company. This must be used well. Just as you said before, it is a good stage for the newcomers of the girl group under MC to promote and self-display."
"That's of course. As I said, the reason why I planned "Youth Invincible" was to create a variety show with low ratings but very stable ratings. Then let the female artists of our company appear on this show, not only can they get better publicity, but they can also show themselves and gain more fans' love. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not allow "Youth Invincible" to be suspended."
Kim Yu-fan said with a firm look on his face: "Now, the old G7 members like Goo Hara and others have almost the same time. They should have a rest and then replace them again. Only in this way can there be a new feeling when there is a replacement. Only when everyone takes turns to "Youth Invincible" can they truly promote the female artists under MC."
Hong Shengcheng: "OK, I will take charge of and deal with this matter. What do you think?"
Kim Yu-fan: "I don't have too many ideas. My personal opinion is to let Sistar and T-ara members join. After all, T-ara and Sistar are relatively newcomers from our MC company. At the same time, F(x) can also consider it."
"Well, let's go, I will arrange this matter. Let's talk about the issues in music. Music has always been the foundation of our MC company, the foundation of our MC, and the focus of our MC. Regarding the development of MC company in music next year, in addition to Kara, who is preparing to return, there is also the mythical group that is about to return. The rest has not been confirmed yet. What do you think of Yufan?"
"The opinion is very simple, that is, we must first finalize the concert of our MC family. At present, we have many singers in MC and have absolute popularity and influence. It is time to hold the first family concert of our MC company."
Speaking of this, Kim Yu-fan was also a little excited: "In fact, in my personal opinion, if the family concert has a good impact, it does not need to be limited to South Korea, and it can be held in Japan, China, Thailand and other countries. I believe that the popularity and influence of our MC family, at least in Southeast Asia, will definitely be very large, and there is no need to worry about not having fans to support you at that time."
Hong Shengcheng smiled and said, "This is very good. I will prepare at that time, but this matter is also a big event for MC companies. There will be several meetings to officially determine the matter. But if nothing unexpected happens, it should be held between June and August, because the weather is relatively better at this time."
Kim Yu-fan nodded: "Yes, I think so too. In fact, it's not just our MC family concerts. I think Fin.K.L can also hold concerts, and even BabyV.O.X can also hold concerts. After all, they are all veteran groups. Although their popularity and influence today cannot be compared with their peak ten years ago, they are really not bad. With the halo of veteran groups, I believe that holding concerts will definitely achieve good results."
Hong Shengcheng nodded and said, "No problem, I will be responsible for this matter, and I will personally ask the members of Fin.K.L and BabyV.O.X. By the way, Yufan, you mentioned the return of BabyV.O.X and BabyV.O.X. As an artist director and music director, you should also worry more."
"Don't worry, brother, I don't dare to be lazy. That's BabyV.O.X. With Kim EZ, I dare not do my best!" Kim Yu-fan shook his head. Thinking of the murderous Jin EZ, he dared to be lazy. His aura was even bigger than that of Lee Hyori in the world. He probably would have slashed himself.
"Kim EZ!" Hong Seung-sung was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. Looking at Kim Yu-hwan who was smiling bitterly, he immediately burst into laughter and nodded, "Haha, that's right, with Kim EZ, I guess you kid don't dare to be lazy."
Looking at Hong Seung-sung who was laughing, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but curl his lips. This guy is a little gloating now!
