As one of the hundreds of brokerage companies in the Korean entertainment industry, Jade Brokerage Company, a newly established brokerage company, has less than ten people, including the boss and staff, and cannot even afford to rent a house in Gangnam District.
, I can only work in an office building in Jiangbei District, which is not very eye-catching.
But in fact, anyone who enters a jade brokerage company will definitely be shocked.
Because when you enter the door, you can see an ancient Chinese poem. In terms of writing skills, the writing can only be said to be good, but the word "Xiao Qi" was written on it.
The elimination of Chinese characters among Koreans has been implemented for many years, but older people, as well as young people, are not unfamiliar with Chinese characters, and many people can recognize them.
If there are many people with the same name as "Xiao Qi", then a couplet next to the ancient poem and the words "Li Jianxi" signed below will make people immediately respect the jade brokerage company.
There is only one Lee Kun-hee in South Korea who can be used as a sign on the wall of the lobby. If it is not Samsung's Lee Kun-hee, if you want to pretend to be powerful, someone will definitely come to trouble you immediately.
Next to Li Jianxi's couplet, there are flower and bird paintings by LG Chairman, and cursive calligraphy by Hyundai Motor Chairman...
There are five or six top Korean bosses, and the Xiao Qi who is comparable to them can only be the world's richest man, Xiao Qi, who has countless dazzling titles!
For a newly established brokerage company to have such strong support is inconceivable to anyone.
One of the top three brokerage companies in South Korea. Not to mention the copybook sent by Xiao Qi, it is impossible to get Chairman Lee Kun-hee’s greetings!
Korea's rich and aristocratic people look down on these actors and stars very much. It's okay to have fun on weekdays, but they are basically using celebrities as playthings. How can they possibly be able to work hard enough for Lee Kun-hee to give face to the company and send a handwritten couplet gift to the company's opening?
A gift that you write and draw yourself, and a gift that you buy from outside are two completely different meanings!!
Most of the staff who originally applied for the job came because the boss was very famous in the hosting industry in Korea. A small number of them had nothing to do and came here to work casually and do odd jobs.
But when the company decoration was completed, these calligraphy and paintings were posted up. They immediately opened their eyes wide and couldn't believe it after looking at it for a long time.
Then there was a burst of ecstasy!
With such a broad and profound background, do you still worry about not being developed?
The Jade Brokerage Company is still in its infancy stage, and I and others are the veterans of the company. As long as we work hard, the only thing we can do in the future will be rising tide!
As a result, their work enthusiasm has become much higher.
Especially when the boss and the only contracted artist Yoo Jae-seok took out the contract with China Bird Network, indicating that the program "I Am a Singer", which has been very popular on the Internet recently, has been fully bought out by the Jade Agency Company in South Korea. The first
When Bu was about to actively plan for this show, everyone became even more excited.
In the past two years, many variety shows from Xiaoniao.com, such as "Korea's Got Talent", "The Voice of Korea", "The Show of the Year", "Star Diving Cube", etc., have caused a huge sensation in South Korea.
In particular, "Korea's Got Talent" and "The Voice of Korea" both received extremely high ratings of more than 50%.
The ratings of Korean idol dramas are only around 40%-60%, which is the highest. The average ratings of the most powerful variety shows are only about 40%. Two variety shows from China, they actually have the highest ratings.
The ratings increased by ten percentage points, which made the Korean variety show industry feel helpless and afraid.
After all, a big country has a profound foundation. Once all kinds of potential are stimulated, it is completely unmatched by a small country like South Korea!
And "I Am a Singer" is a singing program that focuses on nostalgic feelings. Because it directly selects old singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, Xu Guanjie, Tan Yonglin, Zhang Xueyou, etc., they are all super stars that involve the memories of young people in South Korea from the 60s to the 80s.
Singers, Hong Kong singers of that era, completely suppressed local Korean singers and became the memory of a generation of Koreans.
Therefore, even if this program has not been broadcast by Korean TV stations, Koreans have flocked to Xiaoniao.com and watched every video. Basically, 60% of Xiaoniao.com’s current foreign popularity is through various variety shows.
After that, the rest are various animations, movies and videos.
All viewers who watched "I Am a Singer" expressed high praise for the format of the variety show "I Am a Singer". Not only did they feel that the concept was very nostalgic, but it also looked more touching. They couldn't help but hum along with it.
Already.
It was precisely because of the huge potential popularity of "I Am a Singer" that s.bs was willing to offer a huge copyright fee of US$18 million over three years. However, Xiaoniao.com did not agree.
Don't think that 6 million US dollars a year is very small. This is completely the net income of Xiaoniao.com. It is 42 million yuan a year. This is just a small country like South Korea. Aren't you still satisfied?
If it were the United States, the annual copyright fee would have to be increased at least ten times.
I originally heard that s.bs wanted to raise the quotation again, but I didn't expect that "I Am a Singer" has been quietly sold to Jade Agency, which seems to be the rhythm that made Jade Agency become famous overnight!
When the news spread, the first reaction of people in the entertainment industry outside was disbelief.
How can a mere Yoo Jae-seok be so famous? They can get projects from Xiaoniao.com that even s.bs can’t handle?
But as Yoo Jae Suk invited more than a dozen veteran Korean singers to his company to discuss cooperation, those who questioned him shut up.
Originally, there were many old singers who looked down on Liu Zaishi, a younger generation, but as soon as they entered the door and saw Xiao Qi's calligraphy, Li Jianxi's couplets, Chairman LG's flower and bird paintings...etc., they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats.
Already.
South Korea, like Japan, is a country that pays great attention to social class.
In a family, when the son drinks with his grandfather, he will turn around and drink after toasting to show that he is not qualified to drink with his elders and also to show his respect.
This is true for the whole family, let alone in society.
It is obvious that Yoo Jae-seok has so many wealthy people in the world supporting him, especially Lee Kun-hee and a few others. How can anyone go against Yoo Jae-seok?
If you don’t give face to Chairman Lee, you are not giving face to the Republic of Korea!!
So, very smoothly, Liu Jae Suk signed contracts with these singers and discussed the recording process of the first season of "I Am a Singer".
As a result, before Yoo Jae Suk could even think about which TV station to find for cooperation, KBS TV station eagerly came to visit him.
The way the managing director bowed and apologized as soon as he entered the door, that groveling manner was talked about by the company's employees long after he left.
KBS's suppression of Yoo Jae-seok is well known, but now they come to ask for cooperation, and the conditions are very high, basically reaching the level of 1.5 million US dollars per issue. According to the amount of about 20 issues per season
For just one episode of the show, the Jade Brokerage Company can earn US$30 million.
Even if all costs are taken into account, Yoo Jae Suk only spent 20 million and earned 10 million US dollars in the first season, which is a huge profit!
Moreover, KBS said that the purchase fee of 30 million US dollars will be transferred to the account of the jade brokerage company as soon as possible, which will save Yoo Jae Suk a lot of money.
In other words, even Yoo Jae Suk didn't have to pay for it himself, he could just use KBS's money to produce it.
Although the salary of Koreans is very high, the annual salary of an ordinary white-collar worker is only US$50,000, and the annual salary of a senior white-collar worker will not exceed US$500,000.
As for those artists, it is even more sad. TVXQ has been popular for ten years, and only one member had the money to buy a small house for his parents in Gangnam District. This shows how low the income of people in the entertainment industry is!
Yoo Jae Suk used to be known as the national host, but his income was only about 300,000 US dollars. At the beginning of this year, he wanted to negotiate a contract of 500,000 US dollars a year, but he was severely criticized by the agency, and he also had issues with the agency.
KBS, a company with which he was closely related, immediately semi-banned Yoo Jae-seok, forcing him to be very embarrassed.
Things are different now. With Yoo Jae Suk as his backer, he is completely proud. KBS, not to mention wanting to suppress him, wants to please Yoo Jae Suk and apologize, but it all depends on whether Yoo Jae Suk is willing to accept it.
Of course, Yoo Jae Suk is not a man who gets mad when he succeeds. He didn't take the KBS matter to heart. He could even forgive his previous agency, so why should he still go against the TV station?
Although Sister Zhenxi is backing me, I try my best not to trouble her if I can. After all, I am not a child anymore, and I should support myself as a genius.
However, after understanding the program "I Am a Singer", Yoo Jae Suk felt that he could still strive for some benefits so as not to miss such a good program in vain.
Even if there is no increase in program purchase fees and you can get more other benefits, then get more. If you don’t fight for some things, the TV station won’t give them to you.
Next, s.bs and mbs also came to discuss the purchase with Yoo Jae Suk.
After careful consideration, he finally chose s.bs, which is best at producing variety shows. The price was slightly higher than kbs, at 32 million US dollars, but s.bs was willing to provide a full set of recording personnel and equipment, and agreed with Liu Jae-seok
Full supervision with maximum power.
Being able to learn how to produce a variety show by yourself is a very rare experience for Yoo Jae Suk. Every more skill means more ability!
