Chapter 17 Entertainment Industry
"Junning, have you misunderstood something?" Liu Zaishi looked at Luo Junning with some embarrassment. His original thoughts disappeared, and the rest was just a headache.
Luo Junning shook her head and said, "I know, the popularity of Shi Ge Sharinana is now. Even if she pays a higher price to join the Unlimited Work, it is worth it for Unlimited Work. I will not misunderstand that she wants to get much benefits from it. After all, I know the person of Sharinana. However, the person I know is very proud. She will say such words that are like asking for help, which really makes me very curious."
What was Lee Hyo-ri's previous words considered a hint?
No, in Luo Junning's view, it is more like asking for help, and with Lee Hyori's pride and the pride of the invincible national fairy, how can he say what he wants to help, even if it is just a hidden deep request.
Yoo Jae-suk's expression was very nice. After a while, she said helplessly: "Hyuri has encountered some trouble recently, but she has not told me about the specifics, and I don't know much. Speaking of which, it is because of the contract. Hyori's value is so high now. Although the company treats her very well, because Hyori will bring more benefits, her agency has always been very nice to her. However, this year Hyori's contract is about to expire, but she has no intention of renewing the contract. So her itinerary has become particularly numerous during this period, and she has almost no time to rest every day."
Luo Junning nodded, this is a very normal situation.
If he is the head of Lee Hyo-ri's agency, he will use the same method when facing a super popular artist who is unwilling to renew his contract with his own company and use the last time to squeeze her final value. Did he always encounter her working situation when calling Lee Hyo-ri recently? So that's the reason why Lee Hyo-ri said that before?
Looking at the lights outside the car window, Luo Junning fell silent.
If it's just like this and Lee Hyo-ri is willing to do it without restrictions, then Luo Junning will not refuse, but... Is the unlimited job now able to afford Lee Hyo-ri's agency contract?
The next day, Luo Junning found Choi Hansung and Yoon Eun Hye and discussed Lee Hyo-ri's affairs with them.
"If there is no liquidated damages, it is still fine for the company to bear Lee Hyo-ri's agency contract. Jun Ning, you have made a lot of money in the past two years. The advertising fee alone has earned a lot. You have taken out billions to sign Lee Hyo-ri and can advertise for the company. It's great." Cui Hancheng waved his hand proudly, and was full of fantasy about the future with Lee Hyo-ri joining.
Unlike Luo Junning who devoted himself to the production of the program, Cui Hancheng wanted to turn the unlimited work into a comprehensive entertainment company. If the company had not had resources and the development direction of CJ had been determined, then he would probably think about going to the direction of the TV station. But now, it would be great to have one popular artist after another join the company.
Yoon Eun Hye was very serious about checking the information, and she was also the analysis information just sent by the company's planning department. "In the absence of liquidated damages, colleagues in the company believed that Lee Hyori's net worth was about 700 million won per year. As for the resources that can be enjoyed by actually coming to the company... Jun Ning, you have to allocate this, otherwise I have no objection, and the other three sisters may have some minor opinions."
Yoon Eun Hye is now able to devote herself to the position of director of the Artist Department, and she is doing a good job. When she occasionally shoots advertisements, she is more working as the director of the Artist Department.
"I understand." Luo Junning nodded.
In fact, Unlimited Works can provide artists with not many resources. In addition to the several popular variety shows that the company has, which can be used for promotion, Luo Junning's own TV series scripts with not high output cannot give the company's artists too many opportunities. In terms of connections, this has a considerable advantage. Unlimited Works' best resource is investment.
In this society, money is not omnipotent, but it can do many things, especially in the entertainment industry.
However, when Luo Junning had confirmed that he would win Lee Hyo-ri's brokerage contract and consulted Lee Hyo-ri's current brokerage company M, Lee Jae-min, who specially asked for this contact opportunity, told him funny: Lee Hyo-ri's brokerage contract will not end until the middle of the year. If you want it now, pay a penalty of 5 billion won first.
Suddenly, Luo Junning became embarrassed.
Unlimited work is rich, but if you spend 5 billion more won just to shorten the time of a few months, it seems a bit too exaggerated.
After hesitating for a while, Luo Junning still asked Lee Jae-min about Lee Hyo-ri.
"Let me say that, the company and this national fairy are indeed a bit conflicting, but don't worry, the company dare not do anything too much to Lee Hyo-ri. Although the entertainment industry has a gray area, it is only for those artists whose popularity has not reached a certain level. Artists like Lee Hyo-ri who have attracted attention from the whole country, if we dare to do something bad to her and she "accidentally" said in the show, then we must not be fans of the national fairy
The silks are removed?" Li Jae-min held the phone in one hand, but took out a piece of information about Lee Hyo-ri with the other hand, walked to the shredder and destroyed the information, and then continued, "You should understand that in the past six months, we always have to make more money, right? Don't worry, it will only make her a little tired, nothing else. Of course, if you are willing to pay the liquidated damages now, I am still happy to give you her contract. After all, our friendship is there, right?"
friendship?
Luo Junning curled his lips and said, "Forget it, I won't break the rules of the game, that's it."
The phone hung up, and Li Jaemin played with his cell phone in a funny way.
Since taking over the entertainment work arranged by his family, Lee Jae-min has become much more calm, or has become more sophisticated. He will no longer play the "game" that he used to do it by himself. Moreover, he can calm down for Luo Junning, who is still in the honeymoon period, so he quickly called out: "Cancel Lee Hyori's part of the itinerary and follow the normal procedures."
Not long after Lee Jae-min's phone call was finished, Lee Hyo-ri's agent got the news and said excitedly to Lee Hyo-ri who had just finished filming the cf and looked tired: "Hyo-ri, good news!"
"What good news? Isn't the company going to make things difficult for me?" Lee Hyori said sarcastically. Last night, she almost asked Luo Junning for help, but in fact she said that was similar to asking for help. During this period, in order to deal with m's tight pressure, she was exhausted. If she hadn't been popular now, she would probably... but even so, she wouldn't think she could last long.
The expiration time of the contract is getting closer and closer. It would be strange if M, who is backed by CJ, would let her go so simply, but compared to those troublesome things, Lee Hyori would rather die of exhaustion every day.
"So smart, it was the words of that Young Master Li. Now, no one will force us anymore." The agent sister said happily.
Lee Hyo-ri was stunned. Suddenly thinking about what happened last night, a soft smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and this smile made the agent sister on the side stunned. She had seen Lee Hyo-ri's many smiles, domineering, charming, proud and disdainful, but this gentle smile was the first time she saw this gentle smile, "Hyo-ri, you..."
"It's okay, I'm very happy." Lee Hyori waved his hand, walked to the side, picked up his phone and called Luo Junning's phone, then hung up immediately, and then sent a text message.
On the other hand, Luo Junning, who was about to answer the phone, found that the phone was disconnected. Before he could call back, he received a text message from Lee Hyori. The text message was very simple, with only two words: Thank you.
Although it was a little unclear, Luo Junning also replied, "You're welcome."
After thinking about it, Luo Junning felt that it must be Lee Hyo-ri who knew that he had asked M for the other party's contract, and the 5 billion liquidated damages... In the end, Luo Junning called Lee Hyo-ri and told him about the problem of communicating with Lee Jae-min today.
"No need to spend so much money. I am living a good life now. I have nothing to do except being tired. Let's do it. When my contract expires, you can prepare a suitable brokerage contract for me, and I will sign it directly at that time."
Well, this sister is still so direct.
Since Lee Hyo-ri said that Luo Junning would not spend that money in vain, not to mention that M has taken so many itineraries for Lee Hyo-ri during this period. In addition to making Lee Hyo-ri a little harder, she also has a rich income. You should know that the agency contract of the National Fairy is no less than the contract for Yoon Eun-hye and others without restrictions.
Putting Lee Hyo-ri’s affairs aside, Luo Junning focused on “We Are Married” again.
The guests of two men and two women have been confirmed, but the match was not confirmed. Luo Junning originally wanted to draw lots, but considering that Huangfu Hye-jeong is already an artist in his company, he always has to give him some chance, so let Kim Hye-jeong of S501 and Huangfu Hye-jeong be with him, and then let Shin Ai and Alex form two couples, as for the shooting time.
