Chapter 270 Tang Xi and Yu Yi, confrontation?
"Damn it, it's so boring to be caught just pretending to be cool."
Liang Fei ran out of Yang Zhicheng's office, went downstairs without stopping, got into the car, and patted Jin Jiaer on the shoulder: "Drive!"
I'm quite busy, so I have to find something to do even if I have nothing to do.
A while ago, an entertainment company approached Liang Fei specifically, hoping to get some sponsorship. Liang Fei was puzzled at the time. He was not an angel investor, so why would the other party set their sights on his money?
Later I found out that this entertainment company specializes in girl groups, and Liang Fei started out as a female anchor. The other party thought that they were all the same kind of people, had common topics, and would resonate with each other, so maybe they could really be deceived... and really attract Liang Fei to invest money.
Jin Jiaer was driving the car and said to Liang Fei, "Boss Liang, didn't you say before that starting a girl group in China is a dead end, and so is a boy group. Why do you suddenly want to check out that company again?"
"Poaching."
Liang Fei was rubbing her hands, eager to give it a try: "I've seen the information of that company. It's completely modeled after the Korean trainee system, selecting seedlings with good foundations for training, very similar to the TFboys I invested in before."
Jin Jiaer seemed to understand after hearing this: "So, Mr. Liang thinks they have a chance of success?"
"Success!"
Liang Fei sneered and thought that since the concept of the entertainment industry came into being in China, when have singers from the mainland surpassed those from Hong Kong and Taiwan?
Even among groups, the only ones that will be remembered for a lifetime are SHE, Mayday, and Twins. The latter even had an accident. But these groups have been in the industry for many years. They were the ones in the millennium, and they were still the ones in the 2020s.
As for the domestic situation, the three little ones have been flying solo for many years, and there is no group that can compete with them in popularity.
"Why are Korean idol groups so popular? Because they have enough exposure on TV and the Internet."
Liang Fei began to explain to Jin Jiaer: "Each of the three major TV stations in Seoul has a special stage for singing songs every week, such as KBS TV's Music Bank. Every time an idol group releases a new song and returns, they will be on a similar stage for several weeks in a row to maintain long-term exposure. Then they will rush to catch up with announcements, variety shows, TV dramas, and musicals. This is a complete entertainment system."
"We don't have the soil for this in China. Apart from Happy Camp, which everyone is scrambling to be on, what other well-known variety shows can you think of? It's impossible for this to be successful."
Liang Fei is not very praiseworthy about the ecology of the domestic entertainment industry, especially in terms of innovation ability. Now is the time when Running Man is the most popular in South Korea. Two years later, China directly bought the copyright and created Running Man. Even the script and characters were copied directly. As a result, it became a huge hit.
After tasting the sweetness, the entertainment industry also began to follow the Penguin Technology model, not caring about anything else and directly copying Korean entertainment, buying copyrights for TV series, movies, and variety shows. Korean entertainment has played out things like dating variety shows, but they are still very popular in China.
Including the Produce Camp series and the limited boy and girl groups, they are all leftovers from the Korean entertainment industry. When they came to China, they still produced phenomenal figures like Yang Chaoyue.
It is no exaggeration to say that after becoming popular, Yang Chaoyue's ability to make money exceeds the total of idols who debuted in the Korean version of "Creation Camp", or even more.
There is no way, this is the horror of a market with a population of 1.4 billion.
Jin Jiaer nodded and suddenly asked, "But Mr. Liang, if that's the case, why do you think Tfboys can be popular?"
Liang Fei grinned: "Because they use the Internet."
"Understood."
This is a profound subject. Once the general direction is determined, the rest will be left to the market.
"So, there is no future in having the dream of being an idol in China. It's better to follow me and become a live broadcaster to make money faster."
Liang Fei became more and more excited as she spoke, and urged, "Hurry up, if you go too late, all the pretty ones will be picked up!"
Jin Jiaer: “…”
"Boss Liang, we are going to an entertainment company, not an entertainment club."
"Oh, sorry."
In the back seat, Liang Fei crossed his legs, looking contented, thinking that he was really a different person now. In the past, in order to recruit people, he had to go to an agency that specialized in finding girls for the club, or he had to go to a foot massage parlor, but now it was so bad that he had to go directly to the entertainment companies to poach people.
Wow, this level is climbing up.
Speaking of which, the idea of setting up an entertainment company with a trainee system is still a relatively new thing. After President Park came to power in 2013 and said that Zhao Zilong is the lover of my dreams and the China-ROK friendship will last forever, the Korean Wave will completely invade the country, allowing domestic capital to see the money-making ability of idols. At that time, similar entertainment companies will spring up like mushrooms after rain.
However, most of them are a waste of investors' money and the beautiful youth of many boys and girls. They just give out some living expenses every month and post some catchy songs online, and they think they have done their best and are very professional.
There are also famous ones, such as Du Hua who runs Lehua Entertainment, but she cannot be considered successful. After all, Wang Yibo made great contributions to the company's listing in the end, and he controls half of the entire company.
To say that they control half of the country is an understatement.
The car stopped in front of a building. Liang Fei and Jin Jiaer took the elevator to the floor where Mike Entertainment was located. As soon as they walked in, they found it was very lively inside. Many young and beautiful girls were queuing against the wall, waiting to enter the dance studio for an interview.
"Mr. Liang, I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person!"
A man dressed fashionably in a white casual suit with a floral shirt underneath, shorts and loafers, with his hair neatly combed, walked over with a charming step.
"Mr. Zhu." Liang Fei smiled and shook hands with Zhu Dayong.
Zhu Dayong waved his hand: "What's the use of always or not, just call me Mike, dear, dear."
As he spoke, Zhu Dayong took Liang Fei to visit the entire company. This guy was quite impressive, with four or five charming and beautiful female assistants following behind him. However, it seemed that Zhu Dayong had no interest in them. They were very interested in Liang Fei, and their eyes were filled with tears.
Zhu Dayong was the same, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Liang Fei was also watery.
Hold!
Damn it, take your hands off my shoulders, you dead...
Liang Fei laughed dryly, dodged Zhu Dayong's dirty hands without leaving any trace, stood next to Jin Jiaer, put his hands in his pockets, and asked, "Excuse me, is there any major event in your company today?"
Seeing that Liang Fei was unwilling to have close contact with him, Zhu Dayong felt a little disappointed, but he still held up his little face and introduced enthusiastically: "These are all girls who came to apply for trainees. There are many good seedlings from major art schools. Mr. Liang, our company has a very solid foundation."
What the hell is profound? You are just a small company established last year. How dare you talk about your foundation here?
Liang Fei glanced at the crowd and suddenly found a suspicious target. He walked over and picked up Yu Yi: "It's such a beautiful Tuesday, why are you here?"
Yu Yi had seen Liang Fei a long time ago and had been hiding, pressing his body against the wall with his back to people, but he didn't expect to be discovered anyway.
"Is it so difficult to hide my beauty?"
Yu Yi made a sad face: "How can you be recognized with only the back of your head?"
Liang Fei grabbed Yu Yi's wrist and pulled her out of the team: "Tell me, why don't you go to school?"
Yu Yi pouted and pointed in the direction of the dance studio: "I accompanied Wu Ling'er to sign up as a trainee, but I don't know what happened. As soon as I came in, the staff held me tightly and asked me to fill out the registration form and give it a try. I want to give it a try, so I'll give it a try..."
The more he spoke, the less confident he became. Yu Yi shrugged and looked at Liang Fei cautiously.
Before Liang Fei could open his mouth to lecture him, Zhu Dayong suddenly came over and asked enthusiastically, "Boss Liang, what is this?"
"My child."
"Ah, your child is already this big."
"Mike Zhu, it's hard for me to invest in you now that you've said that. The main reason is that I'm worried."
"Oh, don't worry about the details. I'll take you to meet the major shareholder of our company." Zhu Dayong took the opportunity to pull Liang Fei out again. The elevator opened at this time, and a lady who was nearly fifty years old but very well-maintained walked out. She had an outstanding temperament and was very noble .
But Liang Fei didn't look at her. Instead, he saw Tang Xi following behind the noble lady.
Tilting his head, Liang Fei grinned and asked, "Are you here to sign up as a trainee as well?"
Everyone, if you want to succeed, you need to practice very hard for two and a half years!
Tang Xi didn't expect to meet Liang Fei here, she smiled and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm here with my tutor to take a look. The teacher has shares here."
