Chapter 321 Trouble Maker
Yang Siwei knew that her boss would never do anything without a purpose.
Since we can ask about Han Geng, the captain of Super Junior-M who is very popular nowadays.
Then she has to get some information first.
On the second day, a detailed information about Han Geng was placed in front of Yang Siwei.
Yang Siwei shook her head repeatedly. It seemed that she had overestimated SM Company: "Evil capitalists!"
Yang Siwei sighed. The information showed that Han Geng only received 30% of the record's profits in the first five years of the contract.
All other peripherals, endorsements, and commercial performances have nothing to do with him and all belong to SM company.
The penalty for breach of contract is as high as 25 billion won, which is nearly 1200 million yuan.
Of course it’s nothing to his boss, but for an idol artist like Han Geng who debuted as a trainee.
It is definitely a huge penalty for breach of contract, and even selling everything you have may not be enough to cover it.
"Boss Yang, this is not an isolated case. Even for local South Korean trainees, the contract is the same." The subordinate stated truthfully, saying he was no longer surprised by this situation.
Yang Siwei nodded and sent his men away.
Just when she was thinking about whether to report this to her boss, Li Chen called her.
"Contact SM about Song Qian and ask her to dance for the annual meeting."
Although Yang Siwei didn't know who Song Qian was, her boss had already specifically pointed out that she was an SM artist, so this made things easy.
"No problem, boss, I'll make the call."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Siwei's mind was full of questions. She had never seen her boss specifically hiring an unknown person.
Yang Siwei checked online and found out that he was another Chinese trainee who also starred in the MV of "Any Dream", the theme song of the Olympic torch relay!
He and Jingtian are both students of Beijing Dance Academy.
SM naturally would not refuse, but was just curious why Rongchen Pictures suddenly made this request.
Is it just because Song Qian is Chinese?
The influence of Rongchen Pictures in China is something that SM Entertainment cannot even try to catch up with, nor can it afford to offend.
Who makes the big pie of the Chinese market so tempting?
The lesson of "Dae Jang Geum" is right there.
If someone wants to mess with you, there are many ways to do it.
The assets are incomparable. They have even acquired New Line Cinema in Hollywood.
The relationship with Warner is even more unbreakable.
This is the character of Koreans, they admire the strong!
As long as you are strong enough and have enough money, you are the boss.
Seoul, South Korea
Song Qian dragged her tired body to record MVs for a month, recording three songs at a time. Others were singing while she was dancing.
There are also countless model advertisements in between.
But these profits have nothing to do with her.
As soon as I returned to the company apartment, the phone rang. It was my agent.
"Song Qian, come to the company now." The agent didn't give her a chance to refuse and hung up.
Song Qian looked up to the sky weakly and said, "Is this the end?"
When she arrived at the company, she suspected that her agent might have taken the wrong medicine and was talking in his sleep.
"What what? Let me choreograph a dance to attend the Rongchen Film Annual Meeting?"
The agent's attitude softened: "Yes, it's a call from the company's BJ office."
"Rongchen Pictures specifically asked you to go."
Song Qian left the company almost top-heavy.
Rongchen Films approached her? The most famous and largest entertainment company in China approached her? I heard that they only approached the most popular boy band Super Junior!
How did it suddenly come to her, a small shrimp? Song Qian racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the famous director Li Chen in China had taken a fancy to her?
No way, her girlfriend Liu Yifei is much better than herself in every way.
Even if there is a shortage of women, the substitute players would probably be lined up from Beijing to Seoul, and it would never be her turn.
That night, Song Qian, exhausted both physically and mentally, suffered from insomnia.

Music frontier reports
"The four mentors of the large-scale inspirational professional music review program "The Voice of China" gathered at the Kempinski Hotel in Beijing today. The four mentors' fans were so numerous that they caused a traffic jam near the hotel road, and the traffic police had to maintain traffic order on the spot."

Sohu Entertainment News
"In recent years, writer Guo Jingming, who has topped the list of "literary tycoons" for several consecutive years, revealed that he will sign a contract with Tianyu Media on the 8th of next month."
"Tianyu's singers Xu Fei, Yu Haoming and Tianyu's top singer Chen Chusheng expressed their welcome through their blogs."
"Tianyu said that the first action after signing the contract is to film Guo Jingming's best-selling masterpiece "Tiny Times" into an idol drama."
Fans of Guo Jingming's original novel were like they were on drugs, running around to tell others and celebrating.
It's even the same as when "Chinese Paladin III" and "The Tomb Blows Out the Light: The Mystical Ancient City" were being prepared for filming.
Voting has started on major forums and BBS to determine who will play the roles in "Tiny Times".
The news about "The Voice of China" was suppressed by "Tiny Times".
Director Li, who was filming "Passengers", sneered repeatedly.
I don't mind being a good citizen at the critical moment and cutting off the source of the problem.
By then, if Guo Xiaosi doesn't reshoot it, he will have to wait until AI technology matures and then change the head.
Now that he has his own butterfly, artists with bad records will have to retire early.
Many people hated Li Chen because of this, such as the singer Xie who just came out of a drug rehabilitation center.
There was a movie with a multi-million dollar investment waiting for his comeback, but now he has lost all his money.
Wu Bin returned from Hami with the Ghost Blows Out the Light crew, exhausted.
Every face seems to have a story, and looks old and weathered.
Zhang Yuqi was summoned away by Old Monster Xu.
Xu Ke’s “Women Are Not Bad” is starting to gain momentum.
The three women Xu Jinglei, Gui Lunmei, and Zhang Yuqi all returned to their positions.
Old Monster Xu is full of confidence and vows to fight a comeback.
Unfortunately, he died before he could accomplish his mission, and lost to "Jin Ping Mei" in a shocking way. Of course, this is a story for later.
