Reboot the heyday

"correct."

Noona swallowed the food in her mouth and said expressionlessly: "You have been helping Xica deal with the group's affairs recently, how is it going?"

Wang Taika paused and looked at Noona with some hesitation. This was a sensitive topic. Although Noona knew about the matter between Wang Taika and Chunka, she never asked about it. Why did she suddenly bring it up today?

"Yeah, that's right." Wang Taika didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Noona still had a blank expression on her face, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. She said calmly, "If she wants to return to the group in a good way, I have no objection."

Ok?
It's a rare statement. I always feel that Noona's attitude is the most uncertain. Why did it suddenly change today?
Wang Taika asked, "You weren't saying that in anger, were you?"

"You're asking stupid questions again, Yuda." Noona said indifferently, "After going through all these things in the company, I suddenly feel... well, it's meaningless. I thought right and wrong were important things, but there are always times when things change and I suddenly realize that they are not important. What's more, it's not an unacceptable contradiction now that I think about it."

It seems that the turmoil in SM company is still beneficial. Lee Soo Man has lost his voice. It seems that an era has passed and some things in the past seem to have faded away.

We did have a falling out at first, but we didn't become enemies. Looking back now, it's just like that. But there's no need to be enemies, and we can't go back to being friends. So let's maintain some dignity, give an explanation to the past, and not betray our former selves.

but!
Noona added: "She has to take the initiative. It wasn't me who almost left."

Wang Taika's eyes went dark: "Do you think Chunka, with his personality, will take the initiative?"

"Good question. Do you think I will take the initiative given my personality?" Noona said, "Giving someone a way out doesn't mean I have to put myself in a difficult position. Don't feel bad about being stuck in the middle. It has nothing to do with you in the first place, and no one is begging you to bring them together."

Wang Taika nodded helplessly. This was Nuna's personality, very frustrating, but there was nothing she could do.

Regardless, it's a great start.

Wang Taika hasn't paid attention to SM company recently and doesn't know how chaotic the current situation is.

Lee Soo Man has not completely left. Judging from the current situation, he should wait for the next generation of girl groups to debut. This is his last work in SM. After it ends, basically all the work is completed, and the remaining influence will gradually end.

Although he has not left, Lee Soo Man is no longer in management and has lost control. Now the company has a completely new senior management.

Since there has been a major change, the new emperor has new ministers. The old artists who have already debuted, as the traces left by Lee Soo-man, seem redundant.

Don't forget that Wang Taika still holds shares in SM. But looking at Noona's situation now, she is still under some pressure, which shows that these new executives can no longer suppress their ambition to completely control the company. Even those who are protected by Wang Taika will be suppressed in some way.

Wang Taika was not furious or even angry about this. He can now look at many problems calmly, just like Noona's current situation, which is inevitable.

To take a step back, if Noona becomes completely disillusioned with SM Entertainment because of this incident and runs to XB Entertainment, then Wang Taika will probably have to secretly be happy.

In fact, Noona is in a good situation.

The male artists in SM company and the female artists who have no one to protect them are the ones who are the most miserable.

No matter who wants to be a solo artist from Dongshen, SJ, SHINee, or Chadan, they have never succeeded because their companies do not support them. Some of Chadan's activity fee bills have also been withheld, and I don't know how much the company has embezzled behind the scenes.

The situation of girl groups is similar. They are all miserable. For example, Noona and Chonger, who have the support of Wang Taika, are in a better situation. But those who have no support are much more miserable. Even BoA, who has become a director of the company, has been subjected to various invisible pressures.

Because most of the members of Girls' Generation and Function are too close to Wang Taika, Red Velvet, the only remaining debut group, is under tremendous pressure from the company.

Although Wang Taika and Pei Baicai have a different relationship, under the current circumstances, Pei Baicai will definitely not abandon his teammates, but will stand on the side of his own group and bear the pressure together.

It is worth mentioning that Pei Baicai has been in the industry for such a long time but has no solo songs. It is obvious that the company has a negative attitude towards this.

The second and fourth generation girl groups are all remnants of the old era.

The current SM company can no longer accommodate these people.

Noona was also a little sad about this. She was not that bad, but she was still abandoned. This feeling was really terrible. It felt like the company she once trusted was now going their separate ways. At least psychologically, she was not very comfortable.

Before this, no matter how many problems SM had, it still had a sense of honor and belonging as the former No. 1 entertainment company in South Korea. But now, it is gradually disappearing.

Noona sighed and said, "If SM is going to fail, Yuda, can you take over SM? I mean the artist side. Not all of it, just a part will do."

Wang Taika didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do you think SM is going to end?"

"It's not like it's over, but I just feel that this is not the company I want to work for until I grow old." Noona pouted. There was a time when she really thought that she would never change companies in her life.

Wang Taika said: "Companies always have ups and downs, and XB Entertainment may not be healthier than SM. The outside world has long said that XB cannot cultivate its own artists and can only take artists that other companies have given up. People on the Internet say that this is a garbage dump for idols."

Noona shook her head: "No, I am very optimistic about your company. Because the problems SM is facing now are exactly what you will never have."

Wang Taika rarely heard Nuna talk about this kind of thing, and she was praising herself. She said happily: "Please tell me in detail! I love to hear you praise me."

Noona rolled her eyes at Wang Taika and smiled: "You see, the first problem with SM is that resources are always given to newcomers and not to veterans who have already debuted. You don't have this problem because there are no newcomers in the company."

Wang Taika scratched his head: "Why does it feel like you are scolding me?"

"No." Noona smiled and said, "The second problem with SM is that the creative will is suppressed. I have wanted to participate in songwriting many times, but the company did not allow it. Your company does not have this problem. I have heard that XB Entertainment wants its artists to be omnipotent and they don't have to worry about anything and just collect money. There is no suppression of creative will."

"The third problem is communication. There is no feedback when there are problems. The fourth problem is the infighting among the company's top management. There is constant internal friction." Noona even laughed, "But this is not XB Entertainment's problem, because you are the only real top management of XB Entertainment. There will be no internal fighting. If you want to communicate, you can go directly to me."

Wang Taika thought for a moment and said, "What I mean is that my method is very scientific and better than SM Company?"

"Not entirely. After all, the biggest problem is that the way to communicate is to please you." Noona said angrily, "I think you did it on purpose! That's why I don't want to change companies. After all, I haven't changed companies yet, and you've already asked me to sleep with you!"

Wang Taika cried out in injustice: "Nonsense, it's okay to sleep with someone, but I was the one who accompanied you! So I'm the one who suffered the loss!"

Nuna said in shame and anger: "Yuda, you are shameless!" (End of this chapter)
