I am not an artist when I am reborn

Chapter 293 SMTOWN
Chapter 3SMTOWN
News related to the first press conference held by the reorganized SM company were reported by major media as soon as possible.

In particular, the questions that reporters from Xinhua asked Su Jinxing and Su Jinxing's answers made many entertainment companies think.

It’s true that Korean nationals can’t get in, but other nationalities can, right?

The Zheng sisters are dual nationals of the United States and South Korea. They were all arranged by Su Jinxing. Now they have set up a small team to make money in the mainland.

This really made other companies very jealous, and they started to think about it.

Especially JYP, the most important thing within JYP is foreign members. Whether it is the popular girl group TWICE or previous groups, there are foreign members.

If this road can really be opened, in such a big environment, won't JYP have an opportunity to overtake in corners?
As a result, many entertainment companies began to try to contact the official departments in the mainland to inquire about information, and some also thought of getting some inside information from Su Jinxing. However, even Su Jinxing's phone number was not answered, and the ones who received the call were always Kwon Taemin.

Don't ask, just ask because President Su is busy.

On May 16th, EXO members Lu Han, Zhang Yixing, Huang Zitao and SJM member Liu Xianhua formed an SM boy group sub-unit and returned to China. Under the attention of many media, they signed a contract with Qingtian Entertainment and opened their respective accounts on the day of signing. Weibo.

Among them, Lu Han's first Weibo post "Hello everyone, I am Lu Han, I'm back" exceeded [-] million comments in a very short period of time, breaking Weibo's active data since its establishment, showing this The appeal of the top members of the best boy band of the era.

The other three members also received a lot of attention, and each of them received more or less resources after signing with Sunny Entertainment.

Liu Xianhua is not a member of EXO and has been left out a bit, but on the other hand, the non-top resources that Lu Han and the others are less likely to like found Liu Xianhua.

The popularity of the returning four sons has made many Korean entertainment companies, which were already eager, take action and arrange for their foreign members to sign contracts with mainland entertainment companies.

then……

They were rejected.

No matter what I say, no matter how good the conditions are, well, I just won’t sign.

The only company willing to sign was Qingtian Entertainment. After checking, it turned out that Qingtian Capital was the controlling shareholder.

Everyone knows who Qingtian Capital belongs to, and giving it away is just a big gift package to Su Jinxing.

In the end, Kakao Entertainment, which has some connections in the DPRK, got the answer.

People from SM company can join because the company's last name is Su.

Okay.

Now I understand everything.

It's not that foreign artists in the mainland are not blocked, it's because the companies of these foreign artists are named Su, and that's why they are not blocked.

These entertainment companies are speechless and want to report it, but they don’t know how to report it.

How do you report something like this?

Who do you report to and who can accept it?
I can only watch with greed as Su Jinxing arranges people to make money in this fertile market in the mainland.

SM has made such big moves in China, and South Korea has not ignored them either.

After GFriend ended the singing career of "TT" with fourteen championships, it was announced that it would start a national tour on May 30th.

This is GFriend's first national tour since its establishment. The concert theme is "Six Girls". The first stop is Seoul. It will start at 30:07 pm on May 30th. The specific ticket sales method will be on May 18th. announced.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately aroused enthusiastic reactions from fans.

Most Korean groups will hold concerts about a year after their debut, but GFriend's delay in holding concerts until now has long made fans a little dissatisfied.

But when the national tour concert was officially announced, all these dissatisfactions were immediately wiped away, and everyone was looking forward to the ticket sales in two days.

But what is strange is that the major ticketing platforms did not list relevant links for GFriend’s national tour tickets, and even issued special announcements. Before the official announcement of the Six Girls concert, these ticketing platforms did not even know that GFriend was going to hold a concert. things.

This is really confusing for fans.

The concert was held on May 30th, and now it’s already May 16th. You haven’t negotiated with the ticket sales platform to cooperate in selling tickets?

Then you hold a Hammer concert!
For a time, fans poured into the GFriend office account to leave messages.

However, GFriend's office did not respond to requests for comment.

On the morning of May 17th, a fan discovered an APP called "SMTOWN" on Samsung's App Store that was launched last night. She downloaded it out of curiosity, and then she discovered that this SMTOWN was actually launched by SM. APP, where she saw the albums and peripherals of SM's groups, and even saw the ticket purchase window for the Six Girls concert in GFriend's column.

Among them, the ticket sales time at Seoul Station is 20:[-] pm on May [-]th.

After that, there are a series of stations such as Busan Station, Gyeongju Station, and Suwon Station.

The fan immediately posted his discovery online, which attracted a lot of attention from netizens.

There was still no movement in the GFriend office, but the next day, May 18th, SM announced on its official website that the self-developed software "SMTOWN" had been logged in major mobile app stores.

In the future, all peripherals, albums, concert ticket purchases and other activities of SM's artists can be carried out within the SMTOWN APP. New functions will continue to be developed in the future, and everyone is welcome to give suggestions.

Ticket purchases for GFriend's Six Girls theme concert will be conducted simultaneously on SMTOWN and offline.

After real-name registration, one person has one ID, and both persons and IDs can be used to purchase tickets. Each account can only record two IDs, and can purchase up to two tickets for the same event.

At the same time, the concert will conduct a unified ID check upon admission. Viewers with different IDs will not be admitted.

In addition, SMTOWN has installed security programs internally. If it is found that a script is used to steal tickets and cheat, the user will be permanently blocked and will no longer sell SM related peripherals to the user.

The offline purchase site is a temporary site outside SM's new building. Fans can bring valid documents (including but not limited to Korean citizen ID cards, overseas tourist passports and other ID documents) to purchase tickets. It is also a combination of identity card and ID card. Admission method.

As soon as this announcement was announced, it immediately won half of the criticism and half of the praise.

Fans naturally praise it. The emergence of SMTOWN allows them to purchase the star-chasing peripherals they need directly from SM. At the same time, the strict identification system allows ticket purchase to be based on hand speed, and scripting is easily detected without any problem. People know how advanced the security system inside SMTOWN is. If you are caught, your account will be permanently banned.

This also means that in the future, if you want to pursue SM artists, you will have to go through second-hand channels, let alone concerts, unless SM company abolishes this ticket checking method in the future.

The launch of SMTOWN APP has made some people happy and others sad. The ones who scolded the most harshly are the second-tier ticket sellers. Those at the top are still negotiating with SM, while those at the middle and lower levels can only stare and scold them, and then find another way out.

For example, proxy shooting.

They use the method of guaranteeing refunds for tickets if they can't take photos to trick fans into giving them their money, and then earn money from the photos.

The top-level ticket sellers went directly to the SM company and tried to open a gap.

It's a pity that SM has changed people now.

……

SM Company, top floor, president's office.

Jin Yingmin looked at the representative of the ticketing website who complained for a while in front of him, and then showed his loyalty and even gave the profit to a [-]/[-] split, still with a faint smile on his face.

"I'm sorry Agent Park. Although I am executing this matter, it is an order from the council and I have no right to interfere." Jin Yingmin shook his head and said. "Think again! You should be very clear about the spending power of GFriend's fans. If some tickets can be released, a considerable number of wealthy fans will spend a lot of money to buy them. The profit is very high." Agent Park tried to persuade Kim Young Min.

"There is no need to persuade Agent Park. The will of the board of directors cannot be changed." Jin Yingmin's attitude was very gentle, not tough, but his words were unflinching.

This person, or maybe people still don’t understand the SM company’s development philosophy led by Su Jinxing, is just like an artist. The current SM company’s personality is people-oriented, and fans can come as easily as possible.

This small profit is nothing compared to the maintenance of the company's personality.

Agent Park wanted to say something more, but noticed Jin Yingmin's gradually colder expression and suppressed the words that came to his lips.

"Okay, then I look forward to cooperating with your company next time." Agent Park saluted to Jin Yingmin unwillingly.

"Okay." Jin Yingmin nodded with a smile, as if he wasn't the one who was sullen just now.

Agent Park did not stay any longer and left in a hurry.

As soon as Agent Park left, Kwon Tae-min knocked on the door and came in.

"Director Quan." Jin Yingmin looked at the visitor with a smile. Quan Taimin is now the director of the Board of Directors' Secretariat. In theory, he is an executive at the same level as him.

The secretary who used to be with Su Jinxing is now a senior executive of SM Company.

"President Jin." Kwon Taimin smiled and saluted Jin Yingmin, the company's senior, and stepped forward to put the documents in his hand on Jin Yingmin's desk.

"This is the board's list of promotions and demotions of middle-level cadres from various departments of the company. President Jin will take a look at it."

"Just let the secretary do this kind of thing. There is no need for Director Quan to go there in person." Jin Yingmin asked with a smile while taking the document.

"Things are more important. I don't feel comfortable letting someone below be the president." Quan Taimin explained with a smile.

Jin Yingmin nodded and opened the document in his hand.

"Then I'll leave first. The president still has some things to tell Representative Min."

"Okay, Chief Quan, walk slowly."

Quan Taimin nodded, turned and left.

Jin Yingmin flipped through the large-scale purge of the company's middle-level cadres. Among the cadres of Li Xiuman's faction, the most capable ones were retained in their posts, so they could wait and see.

Those who are capable can be downgraded from half a level to one level.

If you are incompetent, you will be dismissed directly, you will be given a severance pay according to national regulations, and you will be kicked out of the company.

Cadres of the Soviet faction were promoted one after another and held important positions in various departments, including some names that Jin Yingmin was familiar with.

These people were all cadres of the faction he belonged to before, and they were all very capable people. Unexpectedly, Su Jinxing took these people under his command after he was sent to Japan.

However, Jin Yingmin was a little surprised by the promotion of an acquaintance.

Ding Zhongming.

He had an impression of this person. He was the director of the teaching department of the trainee department. He had been working there for many years and was one of the few people he had in the trainee department.

Unexpectedly, Ding Zhongming also joined Su Jinxing after he left, and he seemed to be doing well. This list promoted him from the director of the teaching department to the deputy director of the trainee department, responsible for the admission of trainees at Qingya Art High School.

Qingya Art High School is a project that Qingtian Capital and Qianshu Education attach great importance to. It is also a very famous art high school in the Korean art education industry. Jin Yingmin estimates that they are planning to build Qingya Art High School into Hanlin Art High School and Seoul Art High School. of prestigious schools.

The possibility is not small.

The main reason is that Qingya Yigao has unique resources and has no worries about students.

Directly connecting to SM and Cube, this alone cannot be compared with those two schools.

There are too many factors to consider when an entertainment company cooperates with Yigao, unless there is a common leader like SM, Cube and Qingya Yigao.

Su Jinxing has a close relationship with Qianjia, almost like a leader. This is also the reason why SM Entertainment can sign a talent transfer contract with Qingya Art High.

Originally, Yigao had cooperation with major entertainment companies, but the cooperation model between SM, Cube and Qingya Yigao directly broke this environment. This model of in-depth cooperation is still too attractive.

Even though the students know that there are only a few people who can debut, that is SM Entertainment, and this golden brand is too easy to use.

The three major companies in the idol industry are now rarely mentioned by people and the media.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are barriers between SM and the other two and other entertainment companies.

The gap is too big.

Recognized as the first in the industry and the only unique company.

With the success of Girls' Generation and EXO, coupled with the major internal reforms of SM under the leadership of Su Jinxing, this company has completely surpassed its peers. With the golden brand name of SM, there is no need to take the initiative to be elegant and artistic. Recruit people and the students will come by themselves.

As Ding Zhongming, SM's counterpart to Qing Ya Yi Gao, the meaning and authority of his position will naturally be particularly important.

Jin Yingmin looked at Ding Zhongming's information and was amazed.

Apart from anything else, Jin Yingmin felt that he was not as good as Su Jinxing based on his boldness in hiring people.

He really dared to use even the remnants of Li Xiuman's outstanding abilities.

This means, if I don’t die, you will always be the prince?
Jin Yingmin couldn't help but laugh. Su Jinxing's confidence could be seen from this list of cadre appointments.

He picked up the pen on the table and signed his name at the end of the document.

The secretary was called.

"Give this document to Director Han."

"Guess." The secretary took the document with both hands.

"Where is the president now?" Jin Yingmin asked.

"The president was at the Seoul Stadium and went to see the Six Girls concert venue with Director Choi."

Jin Yingmin nodded when he heard this. This was the first concert of GFriend. It was normal for Su Jinxing to go over and supervise it in person.

"Go ahead."

"Inside."

The secretary took the personnel transfer list and bowed to Jin Yingmin before leaving the office.
