Chapter 404 Going to America
Kim Yu-fan is very relieved about Kara girls, especially Park Gyu-ri and Han Seung-yeon, but Kim Yu-fan can only say hehe...
So, Kim Yu-fan repeatedly emphasized to Kwon Jung-ho that in Japan, except for regular music programs, no variety shows will be participated. Even some commercial performances must be finalized in advance, so as not to ask the organizer for any excessive requests.
This kind of thing cannot be careless. After all, Kara has entered the Japanese market, similar situations have occurred. It was originally simple, but it was not explained clearly in advance in a commercial performance. When Kara was about to perform, she was asked by her employer to wear kara more sexy and hot clothes, even worthy of the temperature of zero degrees.
Although one hundred people were unwilling to do so, after the commercial contract was agreed, Kara was able to grit her teeth and persist in performing.
Now, with Kim Yu-hwan's appearance, Kara naturally doesn't have to be so wronged. Even if she is set in a trap and demands compensation, Kim Yu-hwan will definitely take out the money without saying a word.
Kim Yu-fan values it. Kara is an artist under the MC company, his own person, and his younger generations and sisters. Naturally, he does not allow Kara to suffer a little grievance.
"Inside, I know the director!" Kwon Jung-ho can usually be called to Kim Yu-fan's brothers, but now looking at Kim Yu-fan's serious expression, Kwon Jung-ho also knows that Kim Yu-fan is talking about serious business, so he calls Director Kim Yu-fan a regular name.
Almost no one knows that Kim Yu-fan is the president of the MC company, except for grandma and Hong Seung-sung. Including Shirley, who is closest to him, Luhe, who is the best relationship and trustworthy, does not know.
Therefore, with regard to Kim Yu-fan's current identity and status in McC Company, people think more about Kim Yu-fan is just the artist director of McC Company. He also has certain shares and serves as a director.
As for the identity of the president of the mc company, **oss, he is still a mystery to this day.
It’s really not far from Korea to Japan, it’s less than two hours. So Kim Yu-fan and Kara didn’t go to bed and rest, but started chatting happily on the plane.
During the pleasant conversation, time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Kim Yu-fan and his group had arrived in Tokyo, the capital of Japan. They got on a car sent by Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary and integrated into the vast traffic of Tokyo.
That's right, the one who came to pick up Kim Yu-fan and his group was Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary. Kara's debut this time was in the name of Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary, and entered the Japanese market with the operation and help of Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary.
With the help of Hong Shengcheng, mc has become an allies with the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Records. The two sides even swap shares. Like Aihui Records and S?m, they want to deepen the cooperation between each other.
Universal Records’ Japanese subsidiary is watching Ai Hui Records because of its cooperation with South Korea’s S?m, especially the success of Bo A and Oriental Shenqi, and it shows that as long as Korean artists have the strength, they are still easy to open up the situation in Japan. They are still profitable and profitable.
Therefore, Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary is also actively looking for allies with South Korea, hoping to reach an agreement and become the base camp for artists under this agency to come to Japan for development in the future.
In fact, at JYP, Hong Shengcheng had already started contacting major Japanese record companies and finally chose Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary. He hoped to reach an agreement in the future so that the artists under JYP could be placed under Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary when entering the Japanese music scene.
But now, as Hong Shengcheng left JYP and joined the mc company. At that time, all the contacts between JYP and the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Records were responsible for Hong Shengcheng, so after Hong Shengcheng joined the mc, he naturally brought this contact here.
From this aspect, we can see that Hong Shengcheng's value is not only a top management talent with means and strength, but also brings many excellent staff and trainees with unlimited potential to mc company. Now it has emerged its cooperative relationship with the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Records.
Therefore, Kim Yu-fan really doesn't feel that he has given Hong Shengcheng more than 10% of the shares, but he even feels that it is a little less, which makes him feel a little wronged.
Fortunately, Hong Sheng was not greedy. Facing the 20% stake proposed by Kim Yu-fan, he refused on the grounds that he had not paid so many shares without paying money. From 20% to 15%, it gradually became the current 10%.
At the beginning, Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary naturally did not want to cooperate with MC. After all, for the mc company, in addition to Hong Shengcheng, there is also a Kim Yu-fan who has no publicity period for three years of military service. Whether the mc company can develop, Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary cannot be determined, and it can even be said to be unoptimistic.
It cannot be said that Universal Records’ Japanese subsidiary is reality, but the mc company does not have the strength and cannot allow Universal Records’ Japanese subsidiary to see its own value and potential. How can Universal Records’ Japanese subsidiary cooperate with you?
But soon, with the crazy rise of Kara, Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary began to be moved and took the initiative to contact MC Company and began to initially negotiate cooperation between the two parties.
Of course, this is also because Kara was so popular during that period, not in South Korea, but because of the imitation video storm of "MR.", which was popular all over the world. In addition, there is a Goo Hara that looks like Namie Amuro, and Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary is naturally moved.
But after Kim Yu-fan discussed with Hong Seung-sung, he told Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary Lee Hyori that he was about to join. At this moment, Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary had no objection and immediately decided to form an alliance with MC and reached a series of relevant agreements.
Although Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary also knows that Lee Hyori cannot come to Japan to develop, at least even if he comes to Japan, he will just make a soy sauce. However, Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary does not value Lee Hyori's status and influence in the Korean music industry.
In the eyes of Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary, if McC owns Lee Hyori, it is enough to have strong competitiveness, which can also ensure that McC can survive in the Korean music industry.
It is precisely because of this that Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary has reached an agreement with MC very readily. After all, no one is willing to cooperate with an agency that will go bankrupt at any time.
Well, from this we can see that Lee Hyo-ri's status and influence in the Korean music scene at this time, even the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Records is even Lee Hyo-ri's influence.
Finally, when both parties were willing to do so, they exchanged 10% of their shares. Of course, Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary could not allow its singers to develop in South Korea, and mc company would never allow Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary to interfere with and influence mc company by 10% of mc shares. (The madman also knows that the exchange of shares between mc and the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary cannot be a 10% exchange. At least the current mc company is not worth that much money, but the madman does not have the time and patience to estimate the value of both parties, so in order to save trouble, they directly decide that both parties will exchange 10% of their shares. Just watch it. Don't be serious.)
Therefore, both parties reached an agreement in a tacit understanding, just swapping shares, and both parties did not interfere with each other or influence the affairs of each other's company.
Universal Records’ Japanese subsidiary needs MC’s continuous singers to come to Japan to develop in the future, and to be under its own record company, giving the record company more money-making path.
McC also hopes that its singers can enter the Japanese market under Universal Records' Japanese subsidiary.
In short, in this cooperation, both parties have their own expectations. It is absolutely complementary and win-win.
Therefore, when Kim Yu-fan and his group walked out of the airport, they were picked up by people sent by the Japanese subsidiary of Universal Records that had been waiting for a long time.
As the actual president of MC Company and the director and artist director who revealed to the outside world, since he came to Japan with Kara, he must do his best to help Kara better enter the Japanese music scene.
So, Kim Yu-fan met Ceo Koike Ikki, a Japanese subsidiary of Universal Records. The two sides closed the door and had a conversation for more than an hour. As a result, it can be seen from the satisfied expressions of the two that the conversation between the two was very good.
After talking to Ichihiko Koike, Kim Yu-fan told Ichihiko Koike about Kara's planning and attention to the Japanese music scene. Kim Yu-fan firmly believed that Ichihiko Koike's ability and professionalism were beyond doubt as a Japanese subsidiary of Universal Records.
This also means that there is nothing left to do next and it will be liberated. So, without saying a word, Kim Yu-fan waved his hand in Kara's resentful eyes and shouted for goodbye, I'm going to the United States.
Of course, Kim Yu-fan could not leave Japan and fly to the United States so casually. Not to mention that he would have to rest for a few days, not to mention that in Japan, Kim Yu-fan’s main purpose is not for Kara, but for the sake of A.
Kim Yu-fan has always been a person who attaches great importance to feelings. The colder and harder a person is, once he recognizes someone and a certain relationship, he often pays more attention than ordinary people.
This is obviously revealed in Kim Yu-hwan. Otherwise, Kim Yu-hwan would not have been allowed to talk to Koike Ik-hwan for more than an hour when he arrived in Japan, and then greeted Kara. In less than three hours in total, Kim Yu-hwan left Kara and his group and chose to go out alone to find Bo A.
Although it was my first time to come to Japan, with Kim Yu-fan's terrifying IQ, he had already mastered Japanese, so there was no problem at all. In addition, he had money and did not have any difficulty where he wanted to go.
Before registering, Kim Yu-fan sent a text message to Bo A. After leaving Kara, Kim Yu-fanton took a taxi and rushed to the place where Bo A's text message came.
"oppa!" In a coffee shop, Kim Yu-fan once again saw Bo A after more than a month.
I saw Bo A wearing big sunglasses, must have a small and cute ladies hat and a thick down jacket wrapped herself firmly, just like a pig.
"Haha, Bao'er!" Seeing Bo A, Kim Yu-bun was in a good mood, and his depression was much lost due to being praised by Lee Soo-man and Park Jin-young during this period.
I had a close hug with Bo A, and wisely chose to ignore Bo A's face that was blushing because of shyness, and then deliberately pretended to be fine and let Bo A sit down first. Then Kim Yu-fan sat down and just looked at Bo A.
"oppa!" Facing Kim Yu-fan's hot eyes, Bo A couldn't hold it anymore. Although Bo A was a woman with a strong personality and competitive personality, she had completely failed in love in front of Kim Yu-fan.
"Why, are you tired during this period?" Kim Yu-fan asked with some distress when he saw Bo A's exhaustion.
Since he successfully became a major shareholder of Facebook and was able to make money in normal times, money is really a number for Kim Yu-fan. Therefore, in Kim Yu-fan's view, working closely is an interest and personal hobby, just a matter of passing the time. You need to be happy and free and happy in your work. Kim Yu-fan is really a little painful and reluctant to leave when he works hard and hard like Bo A.
If it weren't for knowing Bo A's personality, Kim Yu-fan would probably have asked Bo A to give up his career as an artist and not work so hard. With Kim Yu-fan's current abilities and financial resources, it would be enough for Bo A to live a princess-like life.
"Well, the 24th single "Lo-Sexual Temptation R-Secret" was released a few days ago, and I am busy promoting it." Hearing the pain and reluctance in Kim Yu-fan's tone, Bo A felt a sweet feeling in his heart, gave Kim Yu-fan a sweet smile, and nodded softly and said.
"There are 24 singles!" Kim Yu-hwan couldn't help but sigh. He is worthy of being focused on the Japanese music scene and a top Japanese singer. The speed of this single is absolutely nothing to say.
You should know that the quality of the Japanese, especially the support for genuine editions and the crackdown on piracy, has made the Japanese record market the second market in the world.
In the Japanese music industry, whether it is a single, a mini album, a regular album, or even a classic selected album. As long as the quality is excellent, the publicity is strong, the popularity is good, the sales are very good, and the money can be made.
Unlike Korean singles, Korean singles are more like temptations, but in Japan, singles are no different from regular albums. They just come directly. At most, there is a small number of songs, the production cost of singles is lower than that of regular albums.
Bo A has just released his 24th single, which is enough to prove Bo A's status and popularity in the Japanese music industry. After all, posting singles in Japan is not a test, but a direct effort to make money. Without popularity, there is no benefit. If you don't have any benefits, you will be released like singles, let alone 24 photos like Bo A.
"Hehe, yes! I'm busy promoting the singles now. At the end of this month, I'll be in the 49th episode of TBS TV "Japan Records Awards"!"
"Okay, although it's useless to know what I said, I really can't bear to see you working so hard and tired. Work is work, don't work too hard. Even if you don't work, I can support you for the rest of your life and give you the best and highest life and enjoyment."
As soon as he saw Bo A talking about work, he began to become a little excited. Kim Yu-fan sighed helplessly. Although he knew it was useless, he still couldn't help but remind him.
"I understand oppa!" Boa smiled happily, enjoying Kim Yu-fan's care.
Then, Bo A first looked at Kim Yu-fan carefully, then whispered quietly, lowered his head carefully and said, "I understand. I will definitely pay attention in the future and will not let myself be so tired."
Well, after hearing Bo A's words, Kim Yu-fan knew that his reminder was in vain. Obviously, Bo A was just perfunctory, and even if he was sincere, it was useless. How to arrange Ai Hui's record, Bo A could not refuse.
He opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Bo A lowering his head and answering carefully just now, he could only sigh and said helplessly: "Okay, since you insist, I won't say anything anymore. But remember, take care of my health and don't have anything wrong, otherwise, I will definitely not let you continue to work as an artist job or profession. What's so hard work, and I will ignore your health."
"Inside!" Feeling the seriousness of Kim Yu-fan's tone, Bo A also responded honestly, and then some children muttered: "There is no way, the artists are all Zhang. After all, there is only a very special artist like Oppa in this world, who is low-key and free and easy. Who can compare with you?"
Kim Yu-fan has a good hearing, so when he heard Bo A's muttering, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
After hearing what Bo A said, it seems that he is his own fault. He is not serious about work and does not know how to be ambitious when fishing for bait.
Actually, Kim Yu-hwan didn’t know that, as Bo A said, almost all Korean artists have all kinds of jealousy, envy and hatred for Kim Yu-hwan.
All Korean artists can't understand why Kim Yu-hwan is so low-key, but she has been able to become the top singer after two years of debut. Not only that, she doesn't appear on the show or participate in commercial performances, but why is she so profitable? She now lives in a double-story independent villa by the Han River in Heishidong, Tongque District. Now she even cooperates with Hong Seung-sung and transforms from an artist to a director and artist director of an agency.
Every time a Korean artist thinks of this, he has great resentment towards Kim Yu-fan, and all kinds of jealousy, envy and hatred come with it. I can't figure out that I work so hard and tired, and I only have three or four hours of rest in a day. Why is it even more like Kim Yu-fan?
It seems that in front of Kim Yu-fan, all singers admit one thing, that is, diligence and hard work, it seems that it is not true in front of Kim Yu-fan.
"Oppa, I'm really sorry this time." Suddenly, Bo A stood up and bowed to Kim Yu-fan and said.
"Uh!" Bo A's reaction immediately stunned Kim Yu-fan, and then quickly realized that Bo A should be referring to the fact that Li Xiuman praised him and killed him.
Others don’t know, but as a professional, he is very smart and knows the complexity and dangers. Bo A certainly knows that Lee Soo-man praises Kim Yu-fan on the surface, but in fact he is praising and targeting Kim Yu-fan.
On one hand, he is his favorite boyfriend and on the other hand, he is his most respected teacher. At this moment, the wave a sandwiched in the middle is really in a dilemma. Because of this, he has almost been spent in a frown.
"Haha, silly girl, no matter what you do, let alone who Li Xiuman is, you should know better than me. Even if you work hard, it will be useless. You are you, he is him, you have to figure out this. Okay, let's not talk about these things. If you should drive here, it's a rare first time in Japan. Let's not talk about those unpleasant things. Let's take me to visit Tokyo first."
He reached out and touched Bo A's head. Kim Yu-fan stood up and smiled and suggested. After seeing Bo A's worried eyes, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, your man is not as weak as you imagined. It is impossible for those people to praise me and suppress me."
"What my man, I haven't agreed yet." After being shy by Kim Yu-fan, Bo A stood up happily, raised her head with a proud look on her face, and said with disdain.
Well, at this moment, Boa began to be arrogant.
Afterwards, neither of them continued to talk about this matter. Instead, under Bo A's leadership, they began to visit Tokyo. During the tour, Kim Yu-fan discovered that Bo A was really not familiar with Tokyo. It seems that Bo A has been busy with work in Japan over the years and has no time to play.
Chapter completed!
