Chapter 8 Gao Yaotai
On the Lantern Festival, Li Shenglin and Han Xue made a phone call and greeted the Han family on the phone. They chatted with Han Xue's mother for a long time, but the old man in the Han family told him a few words to end the call. After going home and having a meal with the old man, he returned to his own home.
This time, Lee Seung-lin returned to South Korea and bought a house by himself, near Cheonggyecheon in Seoul. He knew that it would take long for Lee Myung-bak to take office as mayor of Seoul. In less than a year, the Cheonggye elevated road was completely demolished in July 2003. Then, the restoration project was carried out in two years and three months, and in October 2005, the 5.84 kilometers of clear Cheonggyecheon spring water was restored to Seoul citizens.
Li Shenglin did not comment on this project, and believed that Li Mingbo's intention to serve the people is more important than his intention to serve the people for this political achievement, but no matter what, this is a good thing that can be the best of both worlds.
After the first month of the year, Bai Xiangyan used his connections to recall some friends who had left LT Company. Bai Xiangyan had asked Li Shenglin about his opinion before that the company needed to develop, and Li Shenglin waved his hand and said that the company that was willing to come back would never treat them unfairly. Bai Xiangyan was relieved.
The recruitment matters are mainly Bai Xiangyan, and Li Shenglin participated in the whole process. He had to know a lot about the Korean brokerage company Bai Xiangyan, and Li Shenglin followed him to learn. Bai Xiangyan had no objection to this, but he knew the three-point taste of being a subordinate.
The company's expansion is still steadily progressing, and Bai Xiangyan did not make any big fuss. He followed Li Shenglin's instructions and continued to absorb talents. Bai Xiangyan asked Li Shenglin about his plans, but Li Shenglin didn't have to hide it. He directly told him that he wanted to package the captain Li Hyori who was about to be disbanded separately.
He is very familiar with Lee Hyo-ri. When Lee Hyo-ri debuted, he had already left the DSP company, but he still knew the outstanding trainees in the company as the reserve force of artists. Unfortunately, things in the world are impermanent. After Bai Sang-ri and Li Yanhao, who were expected to succeed as president, fell, they were also considered rivals with DSP.
When fin.k.l debuted, Bai Xiangyan still paid great attention. At that time, he also thought about using the general trend to cultivate his own girl group. He almost made his debut last year. Bai Xiangyan almost put all his efforts and resources on this girl group that had not yet debuted. Unfortunately, three of them were poached by Li Yanhao in the early stage of his debut. This girl group that had not yet debuted directly announced its disbandment.
Li Shenglin asked Bai Xiangyan why he left the DSP company. Bai Xiangyan didn't explain in detail, but knew that the reason for leaving was related to Li Yinghao and the person behind him.
I have not had a relationship with the upper level since I founded my own company, but it was not as big as the one behind DSP, and the relationship was not close enough. There were not many people who stood up for LT, which led to such a dismal situation now.
Regarding Li Shenglin's plan, Bai Xiangyan misunderstood that Li Shenglin was going to sign the entire fin.k.l. He was not very optimistic about this. He didn't know that fin.k.l would have their members solo in a few months, and Li Shenglin was not easy to say.
lt is so miserable that he can't even receive some information. Li Shenglin doesn't know if his choice is wrong. Since he has acquired lt company, he has no choice. At least he has obtained a complete set of training trainees himself, which is not a loss.
Li Shenglin knew very well that although s.m company can absorb the bone marrow of artists, they have inherent advantages in cultivating high artists' level and high fame. Countless people who dream of debuting even know the style of s.m will continue to do so.
Although dsp company is now known as the only company on par with s.m, after fin.k.l was disbanded, dsp then launched ss501 in the next few years. Unfortunately, not to mention rising from the Eastern God, even bigbang can beat ss501 and cannot find the North.
In the future, the remaining two yg and jyp, the three giants in the Korean entertainment industry, have unique styles, and the style of jyp is somewhat similar to S.m. Park Jin-young's song Nobody is popular throughout Asia, making girls the number one throne unrivaled. Even some boy groups are not as popular as girls.
Unfortunately, Park Jin-young is not as good at the strategic vision of popularity but has no matching strategic vision, and is always inferior to S.M and Lee Soo. Wonder �
Although WG has become popular in the United States, European and American pop popularity is not a buy-in of Asian popularity. WG has no follow-up songs to consolidate its popularity, the United States has not conquered, but the popularity in South Korea has gradually lost. It was replaced by its youthful years of experience in the Black Sea three times, and dominated the first throne of the girl group for several years.
The dsp company is not as good as S.M in terms of training and resources. The former is a famous wine company, and its artists have repeatedly sued the company for insulting their personality.
Coupled with the cold-blooded attitude of the Korean agency towards its artists, Li Shenglin felt that as long as he used enough money, he still had hope of stealing Lee Hyo-ri from the DSP company. Because Lee Hyo-ri is still not the national fairy queen Lee Hyo-ri, Li Yanhao didn't know what kind of popularity it would bring to independent packaging Lee Hyo-ri, otherwise Lee Hyo-ri would definitely give up this idea.
...
Before waiting for the news that fin.k.l went solo, another thing filled the small Korean entertainment industry.
When Gao Yaota was in a smooth sailing in 2002, member Kim Joo was exposed to be taking drugs, and members of the same group, Kim Jong Min and Shin Ji, were unable to stay out of the matter. They were also suspected of taking drugs, and malicious news was flying all over the place.
Lee Shenglin knew that Gao Yaotai, the main album of Gao Yaotai's first album, won the first Korean pop song rankings for three consecutive weeks on the major TV stations, and sold 30,000 copies in 10 days. This song is still a classic among Korean commercial dance classics 10 years later.
In 2004, Gao Yaotai entered the peak, and the sixth volume continued Gao Yaotai's success. Not only did the sales make people happy. His title song "Disco King" and the follow-up song "Spark" also won the championship for three consecutive weeks in the mbc music camp and kmtv popular songs.
The song "Spark" is indeed very popular in Asia. When Lee Seung-lin didn't understand Korean in his previous life, he was familiar with the melody of this song. Later, the Internet was developed and Korean entertainment became more developed, and he learned about Gao Yeota and Shin Ji.
When he knew the name of Shin Ji, the first thing that came to mind was Shin Ji, who was translated as "Funny Family" broadcast on local stations in China. He thought he was a duplicate name, but he didn't know that later he discovered that Shin Ji was the one who Shin Ji.
Before systematically understanding Korean entertainment, Li Shenglin always believed that Gao Yaotai was a stage name. The Internet and computers in China were popularized very late. Li Shenglin had only watched Gao Yaotai on TV. There was not much introduction to the Korean group, so Li Shenglin believed that Gao Yaotai was a male or female singer, and the remaining female or male was a backing singer. Then add the backing dance!
After getting to know Gao Yaotai, Lee Seung-lin learned about Gao Yaotai's development history. Gao Yaotai is known as the king of disco in Korea, but its development was not smooth. First, the lead singer left and joined Kim Jong-min. Kim Jong-min fell in his head when he was a child, resulting in a poor memory. Moreover, his stupid style is very different from Che Sung-min's image and singing style.
Gao Yaota's fans did not accept Kim Jong-min, but with the persistence of Shin Ji and Kim Cho, Kim Jong-min became a stable member of Gao Yaota and was accepted by fans. Then today, Kim Cho was exposed to drug use. In addition, Lee Seung-rim also knew that even if the matter of Kim Cho was over, Gao Yaota's members would have to go through a replacement before they would be fixed.
After Jinqiu took drugs, Gao Yaotai's agency wanted to dissolve Gao Yaotai. Kim Jong-min and Shin Ji begged Ruli Company, and the company decided to give them a chance. So Gao Yaotai's "10,000 people" was successfully summoned. Gao Yaotai successfully summoned more than 6,000 people (Gao Yaotai's task was 5,000 people). For Shin Ji, Zhong Min established the confidence to continue to move forward. It also further sublimates the friendship between the two.
At this time, Gao Yeota was left with Shin Ji and Jong Min. He joined the member Kim Young-wan when the fourth volume was released, and later left. In the fifth volume in 2003, Jung Myung-hoon joined. Although the album was very successful and won multiple awards, Jung Myung-hoon also left soon. It was not until the addition of the new rapper Pai Jia when the sixth volume "koyote.6" was released in 2004.
Looking at the news on the newspapers and the Internet, Li Shenglin thought he should take action? It would be good to take advantage of Gao Yaotai's trough period and get Gao Yaotai under his command.
On April 14, 2002, during the day when Gao Yaotao was summoned, just as Shin Ji and Kim Jong Min were shouting everywhere on the streets with a trumpet, Lee Seung-lin sent Bai Sang-yan and others to negotiate with Gao Yaotao's agency. Although Ruli Company produced famous singers such as Lee Jung-hyun and Yeon Zheng-hwan, it was obviously not comparable to companies like S.m. Lee Seung-lin was still confident and sure.
Ruli Company had originally had the idea of disbanding Gao Yaotai, but because of the friendship and other reasons, Gao Yaotai mobilized 10,000 people to convene an event. But this does not mean that Gao Yaotai will not be disbanded. If the convening event fails, Gao Yaotai Company will definitely disband Gao Yaotai mercilessly when Gao Yaotai sees Gao Yaotai's prospects are bleak.
Now some people are willing to take over the "mess" and Gao Yaotai Company is eager to do. Moreover, the compensation price Li Shenglin gave Gao Yaotai's company is also satisfactory, and both parties are naturally happy. They don't want to let Gao Yaotai fall into a quiet period just because of changing the brokerage company. Li Shenglin and Ruli Company discussed and asked him to cooperate with SL Entertainment to customize Gao Yaotai's itinerary.
It will definitely take some time to organize all kinds of things. If Ruli Company cooperates, Sl Entertainment can take it slowly. Sl Entertainment is willing to pay part of the compensation, and Ruli Company also agreed happily. On April 15, Ruli Brokerage Company and Sl Entertainment jointly issued a statement Gao Yaotai joined Sl Entertainment.
