Chapter 678 The Market You Understand

Went out to find Liu Zhimin, helped to pay the money and signed autographs for her friends, the little girl has a lot of face, not to mention how happy she is.

"Use this first today. If you don't have a password to sign for consumption, if you can't even write my name, then don't use it at all, understand?" Zhu Ziren casually threw his credit card over.

"Thank you Oppa." Liu Zhimin took it with his head down, and said cutely: "I will make good money for the company in the future."

"I will give you my card and you will make money for the company, right? Is there something wrong with the brain circuit in your little brain?" Zhu Ziren stretched out his hand and rubbed her head, "What product will you endorse in the future? Just give me a few sets, and then I will be very happy."

"I know Oppa." Liu Zhimin raised his head, "Did Oppa also come out to play today?"

"I came out to play, but quickly throw away what you're thinking about now." Zhu Ziren couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "If I'm seen playing with a few junior high school students, my fame will be ruined."

"But now we have been photographed by passers-by a lot, and they made a lot of noise just now." Liu Zhimin looked at his little friends.

The friends immediately closed their mouths and shrank.

"So this is the best choice." Looking at the little grapefruit who was wronged like a puppy, Zhu Ziren couldn't help sighing, "It's useless to act like a baby, and you will know how outrageous your current behavior is in the future." .”

……

"Anyway, I've come out for such a trip, and I can find something to do."

Just told a lie, Zhu Ziren's only certainty when going out is to be Xiaoyouzi's wallet.

However, Zhu Ziren is not someone who will go home without doing anything after he comes out, so he chose to go around the audition scene of "Please Answer 1988".

"Yo, are you here?"

Zhu Ziren actually saw Jin Shizheng, which surprised him a little.

"Accompany a friend to audition, accompany this one."

Jin Shizheng moved away, and the girl seemed to be a friend she met when she participated in "PRODUCE 101".

"What, you think I'm here to audition?" Jin Shizheng walked up to Zhu Ziren in two small steps, and then the two went outside to talk together, "Does Ouba think that I will not notify the company in advance if I accept the job?"

"The main reason is that you have no way to notify the company. Your current agency is M-net." Zhu Ziren spread his hands, "Before IOI was disbanded, you were an employee of another company."

"Oh, Oppa, to be honest, I think the lifespan of IOI is really too short, can't you extend it?" Mentioning IOI Jin Shizheng was a little sad, "I really like everyone in IOI, and I want to talk to everyone Let's spend some time together, won't you?"

"Obviously not." Zhu Ziren curled his lips, "Didn't you see the statistics compiled for you by others? If the girl group IOI continues to be popular for two years, the overall girl group market will be destroyed. , who will take the responsibility then? Guess who it will be?"

"That must be Oppa who proposed to let IOI continue." Jin Shizheng understood everything in an instant, "Even if it was a decision made by everyone, in the end, I will still blame Oppa who was the first to make this suggestion."

"Yes, this is some kind of inferiority of human beings." Zhu Ziren stretched out his hand to touch her head, and comforted her: "So, enjoy the life you like now, or you will feel it is a pity in the future."

"But I don't think our stats are exaggerated. They are basically the stats of an ordinary first-line girl group. Why did Oppa say our stats are special?"

Jin Shizheng was a little puzzled, but also a little bit dissatisfied.

"The rookie group that has just debuted for a few months is at the level of a first-line girl group, can't everyone be alert?" Zhu Ziren was speechless, "Don't take this kind of achievement as something that can be easily achieved, even if it is a big company. The new girl groups that come out sometimes work hard for a long time for one of the three major song shows, and you can be regarded as an exaggerated symbol as soon as you debut."

"Of course, saying that you disturb the market environment is never about your own business." Zhu Ziren began to explain some core things, "You have to look at the overall environment."

"For example, when you came back to release songs, did the big companies be quieter? Have you ever thought about why?" Zhu Ziren asked.

"..."

Jin Shizheng shook his head, unable to say anything, so Zhu Ziren could only explain everything clearly.

"First of all, they must not be afraid of your IOI. Which big company doesn't have a very capable girl group in their hands now, and the chance of losing in the ring with you is only [-]% at most."

"However, they didn't have to lose at all. In the past, they had no chance of losing."

"So that's one of the problems, the big companies have created a rivalry for the big companies themselves."

"We all know that the so-called market environment is the face of leading companies in the industry. Now that IOI is an existence that can affect them, it must disappear as soon as possible."

"However, groups of big companies have not fought against IOI so far. We all know this, and we also know that big companies are not afraid of fighting against IOI in our conversation just now."

"So why?" Zhu Ziren asked.

"Because there are many trainees from big companies in IOI." Jin Shizheng understood quickly this time, "Unless there is a problem with the brain, otherwise everyone should not do things like beating their own people."

"What you said reminds me of a few companies that love their own people and beat their own people." Zhu Ziren was suddenly speechless, but he quickly adjusted, "Yes, it's a very bad idea to not want your own people to beat your own people." important reason."

"But big companies can't always back away from IOIs, can they? Sooner or later there will be conflicts."

"Then it's self-evident who the company will choose when there is a conflict. One is the owner of the company, and the other is the two trainees who went out. A fool can tell which is more important."

"Therefore, there is no possibility of contract renewal in IOI, and everyone will not allow characters that are almost only harmful to themselves to exist." Zhu Ziren directly pronounced the death sentence, "To a certain extent, this was a good decision when everyone participated in it at the beginning. A group that's dying."

"If all trainees from small companies are a group, they can live for a few more years." Zhu Ziren added: "Big companies are all stepping on other people's corpses all the way up. It is absolutely a joke to think that they dare not fight."

"I completely understand now." Shizheng scratched his hair, "Although I was reluctant, I still understood and accepted the fact that our IOI will soon be scattered."

"The other thing is." Jin Shizheng looked at Zhu Ziren curiously, "Where did Ouba study it? How can he speak so well?"

Originally, Shizheng just wanted to take the opportunity to praise Zhu Ziren, and wanted to change the subject to make the bad atmosphere disappear, but...
"Because I just told your friend Concubine Quan En about these things a few days ago." Zhu Ziren sighed helplessly, "This is the second time I've told you about it, can you say it well?"

"Concubine En asked these things?" Jin Shizheng was a little surprised.

"There's nothing surprising, she would have asked." Zhu Ziren explained: "Because she is my assistant, so I gave her the right to ask questions at will. After all, the more she knows, the easier it is for me to use an assistant."

Jin Shizheng asked: "I know this, but why did she ask?"

"Uh, you probably don't know the influence of IOI among the group of trainees." Zhu Ziren smiled, "Every trainee who has no debut plan will dream of participating in "PRODUCE 101" and debuting as an IOI." Look, everyone will."

"Is Concubine En still dreaming of debuting? Isn't she Ouba's assistant?!" Jin Shizheng was even more surprised.

"No, although she is my assistant, I have not deprived her of the right to debut. This kind of thinking is just your wishful thinking." Zhu Ziren joked cheerfully, "You think too much, little girl, Ou Barco is not such a domineering person."

"I can't, I can't." Jin Shizheng shook his head violently, "After receiving so much information at once, my head is going to explode. It's better for me to go back and sit."

"Also, Ouba, hurry up." Jin Shizheng pushed his president twice, "I really have you for daring to come over from the main entrance. If you don't want to be surrounded by the crowd, run quickly from the side."

"Well, I'm leaving now." Zhu Ziren started to blame directly, "I went to see Xiaoyouzi before coming here, and I probably got infected by her idiot breath."

"Ouba, you just..."

……

Originally, I wanted to chat with Director Shen Yuanhao to see how his selection work was going, but I had to leave early because I came in through the main entrance carelessly.

Tsk, although Zhu Ziren doesn't blame himself, he still feels a little pity.

"Please Reply 1988" is the peak of the "Please Reply Series", Zhu Ziren is still very interested in witnessing the process of its birth from scratch.

Of course, if you can see Shen Yuanhao, you will definitely not only talk about "Reply 1988" with him. You may also have to talk about the following works such as "Witty Prison Life" and "Witty Doctor's Life" .

They are all well-reputed TV dramas, and the sooner they come out, the sooner they will reassure Zhu Ziren.

Director Shin Won-ho's break?

Uh. Sorry, I forgot about this.

Putting down his gradually blackened capitalist heart, Zhu Ziren walked to the street and started shopping.

At the end of March, there is a strong spring atmosphere in South Korea. The most obvious feature is that the song "Sakura Ending" began to appear on the speakers of various stores.

However, there are also some naughty stores that will play "Except for Spring, Love and Cherry Blossoms". If nothing else, it is interesting enough just because the singers are Zhu Ziren and IU.

At the time when this song was written, Zhu Ziren seemed to be busy making money with variety shows, and Li Zhien was just an artist who had just taken the first two steps on his flower road.

This must have happened several years ago. If Zhu Ziren appeared in a variety show now, it would definitely not be at the price at that time.

"Well, you said."

Zhu Ziren answered the phone.

"No, there is no need to discuss."

After saying a word, Zhu Ziren hung up the phone again.

It's not a big deal, Huaxia's "Run, Brother" has already set a broadcast time, and now I want to ask Zhu Ziren for a video blessing for the broadcast.

Everyone should know this thing, that is to show your face in the video and say a few words of blessing, and then the program team finds the right time to release it to advertise the program, usually the old ones bring the new ones, and the high-status ones help the status People with low or similar status join together to create a lively atmosphere.

But what is the relationship between Zhu Ziren's identity and "Run, Brother"?It is definitely an exaggeration to say that there is a sky and an underground, but no one should deny that the difference is huge.

So your "Run, Brother" is here to chew on the old man!I took you to South Korea to help you make a way to shoot a show, and you want to take another bite of my enthusiasm after returning to China, right? !

I'm in my twenties and I'm going to be eaten by you?I am a guy in his twenties who has no temper? !

Of course you have to sternly refuse!

After rejecting others, Zhu Ziren, who was refreshed, chose to go shopping for a while. Now that all schools in South Korea have just started school, there are many interesting things on the street. There are many small shops that only come out to do business when students start school. The stall also popped up.

Take another look at the current time, which is almost eight o'clock in the evening. If the students come out to play, it is the best time.

It's a pity that Zhu Ziren is no longer a college student who can wander around, and there are people at home who are worried about him.

"Ouba, where did you go to play, why didn't you come home for dinner after eight o'clock."

Li Zhien's call arrived at the right time.

Zhu Ziren looked around to confirm his location, and replied, "I'll be home in 10 minutes."

……

When I got home, the table was full of leftovers and takeaways.

No problem, it's your own fault to expect these two people to cook for you.

"Did Ouba go out to play too? Where did he go?"

Zhiyan helped him put the rice away, and asked a casual question.

"I didn't go anywhere." Zhu Ziren thought for a while, "It was two o'clock in the afternoon when you went out, I did housework and worked at home for a while, and it was five o'clock, and then I walked around twice and arrived now this time."

"I originally planned to go to the audition scene of "Reply 1988", but because I was a bit ostentatious, I only said a few words and left. I have no impression of most of the things that followed. Maybe I was just walking." Zhu Zi Ren shook his head, "I can't remember clearly, whatever."

"It's good to be able to go out for a walk. You are either at home or in the company now, and you don't even have a decent opportunity to exercise." Li Zhien continued, "That means you don't need to be an artist anymore, otherwise you are here now. The image and temperament, I am afraid that everyone will not buy it."

"But it's good that my figure hasn't changed, right? It's just that some muscles have disappeared." Zhu Ziren forcibly went back to make up for it.

"You have too many things that you need to do now, consuming a lot of your energy." Li Zhien glanced at him, "After you get used to this kind of life and the pressure is not so great, your belly will be up soon. In the end, it will definitely become like Boss Hong."

"Will you leave me then?"

Zhu Ziren deliberately asked a question in a low tone

"Let's see how you behave."

"It will not happen."

Honest children and naughty children will always give different answers.

"Let's talk about the future." Zhu Ziren held the two of them in his arms, "Let's eat first, and I have something to ask for your help after dinner."
