Chapter 25 Returning to the company

"Yuyu, long time no see, I have been looking forward to you." As soon as Li Youyu and Han Changhao entered the office, Li Xiuman walked up enthusiastically.

Li Youyu smiled awkwardly and said, "President, we have not delayed your work here."

"No job is as important as meeting us. Sit quickly. It's rare to come once. You are not allowed to leave immediately today." Li Xiu enthusiastically asked Li Youyu and Han Changhao to sit down, and even poured two glasses of water and handed them to them.

"President, I'm sorry, I ran away privately a few years ago, and it must have caused you a lot of trouble." Seeing Li Xiuman again a few years later, Li Youyu felt a lot. Li Xiuman used to be full of energy, but now she gives people a calm feeling.

"It's okay, they are all their own family, not to mention that you are back with the title of a world star now?" Li Xiuman waved his hand and expressed his indifferentness. He has been in charge of power in recent years and has also begun to pay attention to feelings after work. In the next period of time, he has been asking about Li Youyu's life.

…………………………

"Yuyu, what are your plans next? You really have to give up the foreign market." After almost the private matter was discussed, Li Xiuman talked about official affairs.

"It's not that much to give up, but the focus will be in Korea in the future. I don't want to be so tired from now on. I want to make the music I like." This decision was a decision that Li Youyu had carefully considered. He has too many bonds here. He has reached the peak in his career. In the future, his focus will slowly turn to life.

"By the way, you have really held hundreds of concerts in Europe and the United States in recent years." Li Xiuman suddenly remembered the news from a while ago. There was not much news from Li Youyu in the past few years. As Li Youyu won the Grammy Award, Li Youyu's experience in several years was also revealed.

"It's about 400 shows. And I have to study and study. I didn't realize it. After I won the award, my fatigue suddenly surged out, so there were reasons for this for resting for so long." Li Youyu remembered that he had almost traveled to Europe and the United States in recent years, and held a concert every time he went to a place. Now I don't know how to survive.

"Why are you so hard? You don't think there is any problem now when you are young. As you grow older, the sequelae will slowly come out. You should pay more attention to your health in the future." Li Xiuman knew the difficulties just by listening to the numbers. Even his artists were not so harsh.

"This is also impossible. If you don't use this method, I can't win the Grammy Awards. Don't you wonder why I have very little news abroad? It's because I have been banned." Li Youyu couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of this. He never thought about hiding the news, but the media ban, and the "Li family" blocked the news in order not to damage his image. This is not something he can change.

"Bank, what's going on?" Li Youyu was 'banned'. Not only Li Xiuman had never heard of it, but everyone should have never heard of it. Li Xiuman frowned and asked.

"Actually, there is nothing strange. Singers from Asian countries will be more or less suppressed when they develop in Europe and the United States. At first, I was just secretly suppressed. However, when my fame gradually became popular, European and American countries felt my potential. So they "banned" me at the same time, and even the "Sony" I signed with unilaterally terminated the contract. So I had no choice but to set up a studio by myself, and in order to survive in the cracks, I had to pay for the concerts in various places." The memories at that time Li Youyu really didn't want to recall. He thought that with the memories of his previous life, he was confident that he could defeat all challenges, but those years of experience taught him a lesson, and he realized that he was not omnipotent.

"If this is the case, you will win the Grammy Award." Liu Xiuman soon saw the problem. He really couldn't figure out why Lee Youyu could win the Grammy Award when he was "banned".

"Did you forget how many concerts I have held? If only 100 fans were added to each session, hundreds of them..., and the Grammy jury could not be too obvious to carry out behind closed doors. If it weren't for the pressure of my fans, it would be difficult for me to have a fair chance of competition." He has held hundreds of concerts in recent years, and each of them is vivid in my mind. I remember that the first one was only three audiences watched, and in the end, they all exceeded 10,000. His excellent songs are on the one hand, and the fame is on the other hand.

"Do you think you will choose to return to China to develop if you don't have the chance to win another award in the future?" Li Xiuman vaguely felt that this was not the whole answer, but he expected it to be this answer.

"I have made an agreement with the Grammy Awards judges that I promise not to participate in the competition for the future awards of Grammys. They give me a fair chance to compete. The several awards I won were considered lucky." Li Youyu couldn't help but feel a little proud. He knew the plans of the Grammy jury. They never thought that Li Youyu would win the grand prize. When they were finished, they could no longer regret it.

"Is this agreement a bit hasty?" Han Changhao did not have the overall view of Lee Soo-man and Lee Youyu. He believed that Lee Youyu's talent was enough to compete for the Grammy Awards every year, but now it has been cut off.

"A heavyweight award will not be awarded to foreign singers at international award ceremony such as Grammys. It is almost impossible for Asian singers to win heavyweight awards. Even if I don't agree to this agreement, my future achievements will be the most small awards." Li Youyu knew that Han Changhao was just unexpected, and he did not mean to despise Han Changhao.

"It seems that people in our country are too optimistic. After you know that you won the award, many brokerage companies and artists are preparing to develop in Europe and the United States. Even our company has plans for this. It seems that it takes a long-term plan to let the artists under the company develop in Europe and the United States." Li Xiuman sighed for the first time.

"As long as I distinguish the primary and secondary, I feel that there is nothing wrong with going to Europe and the United States. Even if I can't win a grand prize, it's good to promote the music of our country." Li Youyu continued: "Don't spread the things I said just now. I made a guarantee at the beginning. I said it to remind the company."

"I know this, and even if it is spread, no one will believe it." 'Enterprises will blind your eyes', which can be used in such places. Now the whole of South Korea is eager to compete for those world-class awards, and Lee Sooman knows it very clearly. Even if he goes out and throws cold water, it is useless.

"There is also the studio I created. I want to incorporate it into S, M. Company. It is used as a branch to allow our company's artists to go to the United States to have a foothold when they go to activities, and at the same time, it can also cultivate some potential local artists." The studio that Li Youyu used to use has not been disbanded. It is a pity that the studio that cultivated Grammy singers has been disbanded. S, M. Company has not yet established an American branch, and the studio can be used as a branch.

"Of course this is good. We will discuss the specific matters of the merger when we look back. Now let's talk about your next plan. If you have plans to release a new album, I'll ask someone to collect songs for you." Li Youyu doesn't care about the branch, and Li Xiuman doesn't care about Li Youyu's next plan. This will affect the company's resource allocation problem.

"The company's original plan should not be changed. I will release a new album this year. If possible, I want to be the producer of Girls' Generation." Li Youyu has always felt guilty about her departure. He will not come back immediately before he has not thought about how to compensate those fans who were disappointed with him. He is ready to accept Han Changhao's request and pull Girls' Generation out of the quagmire first.

"You want to be the producer of Girls Generation?!" Li Xiuman didn't expect Li Youyu to make such a request. Li Xiuman thought carefully and said, "I don't object to help Girls Generation, but you must also start activities. As long as your popularity is fixed, it is easier to help Girls Generation overcome difficulties."

"I didn't say anything, I wanted to filter the songs released abroad in recent years. They can be released as a commemorative album." There are very few people in South Korea who have bought albums released abroad in recent years. But now there must be many people who want to buy them, but they can't.

"There should be no problem. Let's go back and hold a meeting to discuss a specific plan." Li Xiuman hesitated for a moment. Finally asked, "Youyu, do you have any idea to hold a concert."

"If I were asked to hold a concert, I would like to ask for it," said Li Youyu.

“What are the requirements?”

"First, if you want to have a few more games, choose a few more Asian countries to hold them; second, select some fans from local fans and listen to my concert for free. If you are registered fans, you should also give certain discounts on tickets; third, you do not need to invite guests; the purpose of this concert is to compensate me for my debt to my fans, so the whole concert is sung by me alone." Li Youyu has been thinking about how to compensate the fans. This method is good to hold a concert, and it can also be regarded as his own comeback stage.

"I can agree, but I have to go through the company's meeting." s,m's stocks are almost entirely in the hands of Li Xiuman and Li Youyu. In recent years, Li Xiuman has given away some shares to outstanding artists and employees, but the amount given out has no effect at all. As long as Li Xiuman agrees, he can basically agree.

"Well, by the way, there is a studio where you can rest. When I officially become a producer of Girls' Generation, I may have to spend some time writing songs." Since I decided to come back in the form of a concert, Li Youyu will practice in the company most of the time from now on, and to create songs for Girls' Generation. It is better to have a dedicated studio.

"I suggest you delay the time you are a Girls Generation producer. I have watched the album you released abroad. If you want to reprint it, you may need to rehearse the dance." Li Xiuman looked for it some time ago. Needless to mention the quality of the songs that Lee Woo has released abroad in recent years. The biggest flaw is that there is no dance performance. This may not have a big impact abroad, but there must be dance in Korean albums.

"It's okay, I don't know how to write all the songs. I may only create one or two songs. As for other aspects, I will let others perform them. As for the dance in my songs, there is no need to worry about it. I rehearsed dance for each song, and it shouldn't be a problem if I just need to find a dance companion to practice." A concert takes at least a few hours. It's hard for Li Youyu to sing and dance alone to hold on to the whole audience, so there are no dance scenes in the concert when the album is released.

"It's better. Come here for a meeting tomorrow. If you have any requirements, you can talk about it at the meeting." Li Xiuman agreed rashly. He planned to hold a special meeting tomorrow to discuss Li Youyu's comeback and Girls' Generation issues.

"This is OK. It's getting late now, so I want to go back and prepare." Now I can't talk about anything, so Li Youyu is going to go back to spend time with his family.

"Wait, your original contract has expired long ago. You need to sign a new one tomorrow. Then you choose a time to hold a press conference to announce your comeback." Li Xiuman hurriedly called Li Youyu. He forgot the most important thing about signing the contract. Li Youyu is now only a shareholder of the company, not an artist under his jurisdiction.
