Chapter 1998 It is difficult for profiteers (Part 2)
Once again, he adjusted his mentality with his own brother's experience. Kim Young-min finally got rid of the past setbacks and the unwillingness of reality, and finally could think about the current dilemma.
People are always like this. Even though they know that regret and unwillingness have no help to their situation, they still can't help thinking. The prodigal businessman cannot avoid the common sense. Fortunately, the prodigal businessman can use this to adjust his mentality instead of a collapsed mentality, and can learn from failure and unwillingness. Although he dare not say that he will definitely not make the same mistake next time, at least it can reduce the probability of making mistakes.
s/m looks quite glamorous now. Even if the market share is lost a little, s/m is still the strongest among the four majors. However, my family knows my own affairs, and the girl group doesn’t think about achieving any results for the time being. I can only integrate the existing trainees in my hands and launch them.
Kim Young-min has no hope for the girl group market. The only requirement is to make a profit. It is worth celebrating if you can make a small profit. If you want to make a fortune again, you must wait for the next wave of trainees. This wave not only lacks core competitiveness, but also under the double oppression of this evergreen tree and BP, a girl group that is still in the age of fighting, it is too difficult to make a comeback.
Although S/m, known as Star Factory, can be said to be the strongest in the whole South Korea in terms of training idols, it is hard to cook without rice. For boys and girls who had good expectations for the entertainment industry, s/m is the only choice. Even if jyp and yg were established one after another and formed a three-legged situation, s/m is still the best choice.
In these two periods, the trainees in other companies were basically the ones left by s/m except for special circumstances. Although there are inevitably some fish that miss the net, s/m is definitely a crushing level in terms of trainee resources.
But soon the situation was a little different. With the formation of yg's teaching and non-classical training style, compared with s/m, which requires high overall quality, many trainees who are biased towards subjects have higher rankings than s/m, especially with successful examples such as bb and 2ne1, it makes yg the best choice among amateur centers who are aspiring to enter the entertainment industry and become artists.
If yg hadn't had too much hatred, there wouldn't have been so many people who wanted it to be unlucky at the beginning, and Kim Young-min wouldn't have made such heavy moves under the instruction of the big guys. Although the reasons for those things happened to yg were a bit complicated, Kim Young-min could not deny that he was the one who made the most contribution. It was just because he was always behind the scenes and did not fire the first and last shots, which made Kim Young-min a good fighter without great achievements.
Although yg suffered a heavy blow, although yg is not profound in its foundation, the benefits of some people are reflected later. If it were another company, it would definitely be in a slump. Not to mention disappearing into the entertainment industry, it would definitely have to struggle in the quagmire for a long time. However, after a py transaction, the big storm ended in a very sloppy way.
Although the people behind yg have paid some price, those costs are not very high compared to allowing yg to continue to make money in the entertainment industry.
After finishing yg, Kim Young-min once thought he could rest assured. After all, the situation of another giant, JYP, is not much better than YG. In terms of cultivating artists and being sensitive to trends, Kim Young-min admires Park Jin-young. Park Jin-young used these two points to get along with s/m for a period of time.
Although I appreciate it, Kim Young-min does not agree with many of Park Jin-young's practices. The hidden separation of capital is the fundamental reason why JYP will be turbulent and even split after a while. Kim Young-min thinks this is the disadvantage of artists becoming managers. Park Jin-young has this disadvantage, Yang Hyun-soo has it, and even Lee Soo-man has it.
However, compared to some innocent Yang Hyun-soo and some persistent Park Jin-young, Lee Soo-man is not only quick to change his role but also thoroughly. In Kim Young-min's opinion, managers should be like him. Everything is based on interests, and they do not lack understanding of the entertainment industry. They can afford to be a archway and can stand up for the archway. If they have too many concerns, how can they manage a good company? How can they earn the benefits that satisfy the big guys while considering sustainable development?
If it weren't for the rise of C-Jes' high-level mathematics, if it weren't for Jyp's borrowing the Dongfeng, if YG hadn't played the trick of rushing money from the inside out, he wouldn't have had to have had such a headache as he did today.
Even Kim Young-min only needs to put all her thoughts and enthusiasm for dealing with C-Jes on yg and Jyp, and she won’t get any benefits, and she is even disappointed.
Although Kim Young-min still felt that his decision was correct, he had to admit that he regretted it.
It is not realistic to start from the trainees. Not only has the best opportunity been missed, but it cannot quench the near thirst. After all, the people's requirements for artists are getting higher and higher. Compared with the relatively long training period of actors and singers, the training period of IODOL is relatively short and is only suitable for making quick money and it is difficult to last for a long time. It also has to increase the resources and time invested in training.
Moreover, even if you train it, you may not be popular. Although S/M has a strong record in training idols, there are many examples of failure.
This aspect of trainees can be improved, but it cannot bring immediate changes to the status quo. Not to mention that the shareholders love the most is immediate interests, and even if they look at each other for a long time, they cannot wait for a few years.
It is impossible to start from the future. Kim Young-min began to think about the resources at hand. The boy group is better. Although the new group and training plan launched in recent years are not very effective, after all, S/M and SJ, the old group of s and exo, which is still in the year of fighting.
Moreover, because of the age gap between the two teams, the fans of both sides do not have a high degree of overlap like the boy groups launched by s/m. It can be said that as long as the stability of these two boy groups is ensured, s/m dare not say that they can dominate the boy group market, but they can definitely occupy the largest and most delicious cake.
Especially the most powerful opponent, bb, has been wiped out, and a boy group with good competitiveness like 2pm is left with nothing left. Although there are still other boy groups with certain competitiveness, because of the company behind it, it is impossible to threaten the two teams of s/m because of the company's own capabilities and other reasons.
Thinking of Kim Young-min's memory that was unbearable to look back, it appeared again. You should know that S/M's expectation for exo was the universe group, otherwise he would not have used the name exo. Unfortunately, exo has just become famous and was regarded as a team that guided the Chinese market by the company, which reduced three people.
If Kim Young-min hadn't made a quick decision and made a compromise, the Chinese team would have become a wedding dress for others. Every time he saw the three ungrateful betrayers who were doing well in China, Kim Young-min's heart would be bleeding. If they could do it according to the company's expectations, Exo would definitely dominate Asia, rather than dominating the three-point land in South Korea.
Even Kim Young-min had fantasized that if the ban on South Korea could be lifted early, would the Exo not suffer such a big blow? He had to reduce his staff as soon as he reached the peak in South Korea. If the Chinese team did not reduce his staff, Kim Young-min dared to say that S/M would be the biggest beneficiary of the Chinese market. No matter how colorful the C-jes plays, no matter how sexy the routine is, it cannot change this.
After sighing again due to regret, Kim Young-min also gave up the idea of changing the current situation. SJ basically has no potential to tap. Although the ban on South Korea has been cancelled, it will be difficult for exo to play the greatest role as long as there are those three in the Chinese market. After so many years, with the efforts of fans, the three have become mortal enemies. They are born with the same roots and have no scriptures to read. After all, the three who can play the tricks that exo can play, and the potential market of exo in China has been occupied by those three, so they are simply powerless to make the world come true.
If he can get the management rights of s/mcc, then Kim Young-min can still engage in large-scale linkages and use small cross-border methods to reduce dimensionality. Unfortunately, s/mcc is impossible to get him involved. Since the day he was established, this has been an independent company. The big guys behind him are no longer satisfied with the current situation at that time and have begun to try to enter other fields.
It is not realistic to seek change from one's own perspective. The boy group's plans in China and the island country were destroyed and there was no potential to dig in a short time. Originally, Kim Young-min wanted to learn from the routines of BTS playing, and to use a new way of playing outside the wall. However, since the BTS collapsed and even the company collapsed, Kim Young-min lost the idea of learning reference. The gameplay with unstable foundation is equivalent to a castle in the air is not suitable for s/m. Even if it is suitable for Kim Young-min, he does not have the courage to bet.
Thinking of this, Kim Young-min once again affirmed that the current dilemma of s/m, Kim Young-min's difficulties today were caused by C-jes and Luo Feng-eun. The reason why China and the island country's multi-year plans failed to achieve the expected results can even be said to have failed, which has a lot to do with Luo Feng-eun and C-jes, and even believed that it was because Luo Feng-eun and C-jes had no big problems.
The situation in the boy group has little to do with C-Jes and Luo Fengen, but the market in other aspects except the boy group has shrunk. C-Jes and Luo Fengen are still the culprits.
In the girl group, S/M once again took Evergreen Shao Shi in her hands. Although there are many problems, at least with the incense, as long as the contract is not too harsh, Kim Young-min believes that the company and Shao Shi can still have a wonderful experience of renewing their relationship.
As a result, Luo Fengen's existence made C-jes stubbornly interfere. Kim Young-min also mocked Lee Soo-man for being able to let all the members of Myth leave the company. Although Lee Soo-man was under a lot of pressure at that time, if it weren't for the last part of the teacher-student relationship, Myth wouldn't have thought about leaving S/m and then paying a little price, let alone taking away all the rights to use the works.
Kim Young-min, who is not the person involved, dare not say that at least the name of myth and the right to use the work must be kept in the company. It seems that Lee Soo-man made a compromise because he wanted to stop the loss and not make too stalemate. However, strictly speaking, it is Lee Soo-man's biggest failure during the s/m period.
When it comes to the degree of failure, it is beyond the myth. After all, the myth was very united. Every member was disinterested with the company and was completely united when leaving the company. When it comes to a small number, let alone being united, even a few being obedient to the majority cannot do it.
Myths escaped when the contract was over and was about to negotiate a renewal, and Shao Shi escaped when most people had contracts. The most annoying thing was that although the pressure Li Xiuman faced was not fully exposed to the outside world, at least the industry insiders understood the situation, which is also one of the main reasons why Li Xiuman can preserve his face.
As for him, Kim Young-min, the two parties involved, he and Xiao-feng, are already the big guys behind Kim Young-min. No one knows that the pressure he faced was much greater than that of Lee Soo-man. What’s ridiculous is that Kim Young-min can only resist everything alone and can’t even complain. Those shameless shareholders still turn against each other in front of interests. They obviously voted in favor, but now they all say that it was his president’s fault. It’s like when everyone agreed that he still wanted to have a rebel against him arbitrarily and firmly oppose it. Not to mention that Kim Young-min doesn’t have that much right, even if he has done it, it’s impossible for these shareholders to do that. Even if they do it, these shareholders will probably still say that he is wrong. Kim Young-min really feels that it’s too difficult.
It's difficult, but the reality still needs to be faced. He must do something to appease the shareholders now. Since there is no good idea on himself, he can only do it from the outside world. Kim Young-min has played the operation of driving the wolf and swallowing the tiger and reaping the benefits of the fisherman many times, and the current situation is more suitable for playing this routine.
It is very difficult to fight with C-jes and JYP. Although Park Jin-young has irreparable shortcomings, he is also a well-known old fox in the entertainment industry. If he doesn't play well, he will easily steal chickens and lose rice. Moreover, Jang Yong-gun completely treats Kim Young-min as an enemy. As long as there is a little turmoil, he will directly target S/m, just like Kim Young-min hugging his child and jumping into a well.
Although it is unrealistic to provoke the relationship between C-Jes and Jyp, the yg side gave Kim Young-min the opportunity. The previous dispute between BP and Shao Shi was quite disturbed. Although it was not even the official war was officially started, the conflict between the two sides had been revealed.
With the Southeast Asian market already saturated and the island countries and the Chinese markets not much room for operation, the only thing BP can pursue is the Korean market. Since you want to develop in South Korea, it is impossible to live in peace with Shao Shi. As long as the interests are sufficient and the provocation is appropriate, Kim Young-min believes that BP and Shao Shi will have a battle.
Considering that BP is in front of Shaoshi and YG is in front of C-Jes, Kim Young-min thinks that she can use Shaoshi to make a fuss. For example, the dispute between IU and Taeyeon's number one sister is irreconcilable. Although there is a personal conflict, as long as it is used well, it will be of great effect.
As for who can win in the end, Kim Young-min doesn't care. It doesn't matter if it's difficult for S/M to get real benefits in the fight. In the eyes of profiteers, weakening the enemy is to strengthen themselves in disguise. Anyway, what is imminent now is to appease shareholders, not pursue how much benefit they get.
