Chapter 1544 Zhang Yong's decision
Kim Yu-hwan is not very familiar with Zhang Yong. After all, the age difference between the two sides is too big, and the two are not from the same era at all. When Kim Yu-hwan debuted, um~~~ even Park Jin-young debuted, Zhang Yong had quietly retreated behind the scenes, and was even in a semi-retreat.
Kim Yu-fan didn't know Zhang Yong at all, which is certain. Fortunately, there is Zhao He, a MC company. Although he is young, he is almost the same as Zhang Yong, and he still knows Zhang Yong very well. Whether it is in the previous DSP or such MC, Kim Yu-fan sometimes even heard of Zhang Yong from Zhao He when he chats with Zhao He. According to Zhao He, when Zhang Yong was at its peak, he was the king of the Korean music scene, but because Zhang Yong was not a singer, but behind the scenes, he was considered the king of the behind the scenes.
To be honest, Kim Yu-fan still maintains absolute respect for a super senior like Zhang Yong. After all, it is really not easy to achieve such great results and persist for decades.
Especially if you can get the honor and title of the godfather of Korean music, this is even more amazing. You should know that even Lee Soo-man doesn’t have this honor, including Zhao Rongbi, who was the first to complete the triple crown in the Korean music industry.
Therefore, Kim Yu-fan really doesn't understand why Zhang Yong accepted the position of president of YZEntertainment and made YZEntertainment bully major brokerage companies so much.
In Kim Yu-fan's view, in addition to his own talent and ability, Zhang Yong's brain is definitely not stupid. After all, in the dark and complex circle of the entertainment industry, a person's talent is outstanding, but if his brain is not good, he will definitely not be able to jump for long if he is stupid.
Zhang Yong has always been a strong presence in the Korean entertainment industry, especially the music industry, which is enough to prove that Zhang Yong is not stupid.
Therefore, Kim Yu-fan wondered, since Zhang Yong is not stupid, why did he accept the position of President YZEntertainment? When Zhang Yong accepted this invitation, he really would not have a certain understanding of the company YZEntertainment. As long as he had a certain understanding of the company, he knew that YZEntertainment was a group of second-generation masters who had made it out with special attention as the entertainment industry became more and more influential and the value it generated became higher and higher. So why did Zhang Yong still accept the position of President YZEntertainment?
Could it be that Zhang Yong didn’t know, and did not understand that YZEntertainment was almost all brokerage companies created by a group of second-generation masters. The top leaders of the entire company were almost all children of a big family. Even if they were not valued by the family, they were also children of a big family after all. Zhang Yong and this group of people were completely in two circles and could not become friends. Even if they served as the president of YZEntertainment, they would probably be disturbed and influenced by the children of these big families in YZEntertainment.
If anyone else was this president, it would probably not be able to work for a long time. On the contrary, he would have to be disobeyed by a group of children from a large family who could not afford to cooperate in the company at all times. It would be meaningless to work for such a president.
Because of YZEntertainment's domineering behavior, Kim Yu-fan knew for a long time that the conflict between YZEntertainment and major brokerage companies in South Korea will explode sooner or later. MC Company is also one of the brokerage companies in the Korean entertainment industry, and even one of the top and most representative brokerage companies, and will definitely not be able to escape from this matter at that time.
In particular, YZEntertainment also charged MC companies a "protection fee". Although it is not much, especially compared with YZEntertainment's treatment of other brokerage companies, he is very polite to treat MC companies. This fee is more than just a meaning.
But that's the saying, everyone is not a relative or acquaintance. You did nothing in YZEntertainment and you had to get money from me. If it weren't the case, no one would be willing to accept it and would feel unhappy.
Therefore, a long time ago, or less than a year after YZEntertainment was established, that is, half a year after YZEntertainment was established, it completely stabilized and began to attack other brokerage companies, and almost hit MC companies. At that time, Kim Yu-fan had already started to ask someone to investigate the situation of YZEntertainment.
Kim Yu-fan knew very well that YZEntertainment's behavior of being too greedy and domineering, completely unreasonable, and directly forcing major brokerage companies to end up causing the complete outbreak of conflicts between YZEntertainment and major brokerage companies in South Korea.
Since MC companies cannot stay out of the matter, they can only actively participate. So at that time, Kim Yu-fan had already started to investigate and understand YZEntertainment. After all, when it was really time to fight against YZEntertainment, the more you investigate YZEntertainment, the more you know about the situation of YZEntertainment, the more you will be in your heart.
After so many years of investigation, Kim Yu-fan dare not say that he knows YZEntertainment well, but Kim Yu-fan also knows many things and situations within YZEntertainment.
It is precisely because of knowing that Kim Yu-fan doesn't understand why Zhang Yong can tolerate other senior executives of YZEntertainment over the years and continue to hold the position of president of YZEntertainment.
Facing Kim Yu-fan's inquiry, what else could Zhang Yong say? He could only smile and shake his head: "Haha, I didn't think so much at the beginning. I just wanted to prove myself and prove my ability in the management of the agency. To put it bluntly, it was my conceit and self-esteem. I planned to compete with Li Xiuman in this regard."
"But who knew that the situation of YZEntertainment was so complicated. When I realized it and started to regret it, it was too late. At that time, I could no longer escape from YZEntertainment. Although I could escape from YZEntertainment if I insisted, I could escape from YZEntertainment, but my pride and self-esteem would definitely not allow me to leave YZEntertainment."
"YZEntertainment knows, and even knows very well what the major brokerage companies in the circle do. I can only say sorry about this. Although I am the president of YZEntertainment, many things that I can't make up for are not something I can do. I am also a person in the circle. Of course, I know that it is not easy for everyone to develop in the entertainment industry, and what YZEntertainment does is too domineering."
"At that time, I had already made up my mind that although I could leave YZEntertainment, I could not leave easily like this. At least I couldn't bear to leave like this after all the years. I stayed in YZEntertainment, at least I was the president of YZEntertainment. Even if I could not dominate all the affairs of YZEntertainment, at least I was the president, and I could still affect some things in YZEntertainment."
"At that time, I decided to continue to stay in YZEntertainment, and at least I had to solve the exploitation of major brokerage companies by YZEntertainment. Only by solving this matter can I truly leave and completely leave."
"It's a pity that I overestimated my ability. After two years, I found that I could never do this. Although I am the president in YZEntertainment, because of my identity, almost all the senior executives of YZEntertainment do the same. "
"Since YZEntertainment cannot stop exploiting major brokerage companies, I can only settle for the second best. I hope that through my personal efforts, some situations of YZEntertainment will be gradually changed. Even if I continue to exploit major brokerage companies, at least YZEntertainment can provide certain help to artists under major brokerage companies overseas, whether it is resources, connections, or publicity, all of which can be helped. In this way, the major brokerage companies can still obtain some effects and benefits by YZEntertainment's exploitation of major brokerage companies."
"But until now, my efforts are useless. I, the president of YZEntertainment, actually can't speak in YZEntertainment. Now I have realized that, or from the beginning, I shouldn't accept the position of president of YZEntertainment. This position does not represent rights, but represents the playfulness of YZEntertainment. I, as the president, will become the most suitable scapegoat."
Kim Yu-fan was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yong knew all this and could understand it. This made Kim Yu-fan even more confused: "Senior, you know all these and understand these, why don't you withdraw now? Others may not believe it, but I know that what YZEntertainment does has nothing to do with you. Senior, you can leave YZEntertainment directly and you don't need to be responsible for this matter at all."
Zhang Yong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's too late to say anything now. After all, I am the president of YZEntertainment. Since YZEntertainment was founded in 2006, I have been the president of YZEntertainment until now. Although the current situation of YZEntertainment is not what I want to do, since I am the president of YZEntertainment, now that something happened to YZEntertainment, no matter what the reason is, I must fulfill my responsibilities as the president."
After stopping Kim Yu-fan, who wanted to say something, Zhang Yong stood up and said lightly: "Maybe, you will think I am stupid. At this time, I refused to choose to leave, and willingly buried all my honors and reputations with YZEntertainment. But Yu-fan, you don't understand me, or you MC probably only knows that Zhao He knows me. People who have passed through our era are almost all of this awesome temper. Even if you know it's dead, you will not choose to avoid or give in. This is not a matter of self-esteem and face, but because this is the responsibility I have to bear as a man. Although this matter has nothing to do with me, who made me the president of YZEntertainment."
Speaking of this, Zhang Yong looked at Kim Yu-fan and suddenly laughed: "Yu-fan, to be honest, in the Korean entertainment industry, you are the most optimistic junior in my current Korean entertainment industry. It's not just because of your talent, but more importantly your personality. Look at the current situation of MC, you will know that you have done a very good job in this regard."
"I have thought before, is the entertainment industry so cruel? Since the entertainment industry is so cruel, can't there be more warmth within the agency? Why do we have to make the agency and artists into two camps? Why do we have to be so cruel and unreasonable to our artists? I want to change a little, but it is obvious that I can't do it, or that in the environment of that big era, I can't do this. But now, my wish has been realized by you and the current MC. This is very good. I don't know if you do this will stimulate other agency companies and there will be any difficulties in the future, but I hope you can persist. This circle is too cruel and cold-blooded and ruthless, it requires a little humanity and a little care."
After saying that, without waiting for Kim Yu-fan to speak, Zhang Yong turned around and left. Kim Yu-fan just stood there, watching Zhang Yong leave, and said nothing more.
Because Kim Yu-fan knew very well that from the moment Zhang Yong turned around, Zhang Yong had already adjusted his mentality and would firmly walk with YZEntertainment as president of YZEntertainment and confront the anti-YZ alliances of major Korean brokerage companies. Even if he knew that there was a deep abyss ahead, Zhang Yong would definitely walk over without hesitation.
Kim Yu-fan was still very impressed by Zhang Yong's decision. At least Zhang Yong did not choose to evade responsibility at this moment. Although this responsibility had nothing to do with Zhang Yong personally, Zhang Yong still chose to face and take responsibility. From this point of view, Zhang Yong is a pure man.
However, no matter how much I admire it, the anti-YZ alliance has been formed, and everyone is determined to fight with YZEntertainment. As the leader of the Korean entertainment industry, MC company will naturally be at the forefront when it comes to fighting with YZEntertainment.
At that time, Kim Yu-hwan would meet Zhang Yong again, but at that time, the two would not have had a friendly conversation like they had just now. The two would only become opponents and enemies, and began to engage in the most direct and fierce battle for their respective interests.
South Korea is so small that basically anything will spread throughout Korea very quickly.
For example, this time, the anti-YZ alliance formed by major Korean brokerage companies is planning to fight against YZEntertainment. People may not know about this, but for the TV station and the Korean Culture, Sports and Tourism Department, this matter is no longer a secret.
Especially this time, the anti-YZ alliance formed by major brokerage companies is enough to allow the TV station and the Korean Culture, Sports and Tourism Department to see how much resentment the major brokerage companies in South Korea is about YZEntertainment. After several years of accumulation and depression, I finally couldn't help but explode at this moment.
Basically, it is certain that this confrontation between the anti-YZ alliance and YZEntertainment is definitely a desperate battle, and it is still a matter of never ending.
Therefore, in the face of this situation, the three major Korean TV stations, including M-net, are very polite to major Korean brokerage companies. The TV stations are also very polite to those artists who come to their own TV stations to show, and they can even be said to have some care.
Because the TV stations all know that the anti-YZ alliance is now formed, and major brokerage companies have formed a temporary offensive and defensive alliance. In addition, the original hatred for YZEntertainment has reached its peak and is almost about to break out. At this time, the anti-YZ alliance is definitely full of murderous aura.
At this time, who dares to provoke a certain agency in the Anti-YZ Alliance, or perhaps an artist under the agency, probably, it is estimated that before the Anti-YZ Alliance has had time to fight with YZEntertainment, he has turned his gun to deal with him with murderous aura.
