Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 113 Win-Win Cooperation
  The "strictest training and cruelest elimination system" mentioned by Tang De was learned from later generations of Korean troupes. Through strict dance and song training, batches of idol groups were cultivated to form groups to create stars and make money. .

This method has withstood the test of the market, and the strict contract can also ensure the maximum revenue. As long as there are a few hits, fans can be quickly harvested.

Moreover, as the Korean Wave has invaded the world in later generations, such idol groups have even begun to stand at the Grammy Awards ceremony, which also shows that their influence cannot be underestimated.

Of course, this is supported by the country's promoters, and also by European and American fans' novelty of this idol group.

As a new culture, it can always attract attention quickly at the beginning. As for whether it can gain a firm foothold later, it depends on the quality of the work.

However, at present, the environment in the United States is not suitable for completely copying the Korean Wave. In layman's terms, the version has not been updated, and the people in Europe and America are not yet ready to embrace this model.

But there is no problem with small-scale operations. Tang De plans to first let the customer service girls participate in regular training in dance, singing, body shape, and acting skills, and then form a group of three or five people, and launch them one by one for the market, and then based on market feedback Adjust strategies promptly.

Of course, the quality of this group of customer service girls varies, and some are even tone deaf. Such girls can be arranged to be actors, models, or become dancers in the team.

In addition, rapping with a few simple words is always possible, and it won’t be out of tune anyway.

After telling the girls about the training, Tang De talked about the so-called "most effective way to become famous."

This is very simple, just cooperate with music companies. Angel Declaration produces the group, and the music company produces the album. Both parties will each have a certain percentage of the music income, achieving a win-win situation.

Tang De also thought about setting up a music company of his own, but gave up after thinking about it. It is conceivable that in the future, personnel training will be a major expenditure, and setting up a music company will inevitably make ends meet.

Moreover, I have no accumulation of musical talents here. Good producers and recording engineers are not easy to find. They are hidden like treasures by various music companies.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Tang De finally decided to cooperate with Republic Records, an old friend.

The main reason is that there are not many singers in their company, and a lot of recording studios and equipment are idle. According to Badman, vice president Giorgio Bablin is now having a headache on how to sign more singers.

This was exactly in line with Tang De's requirements, so he contacted Giorgio yesterday and agreed on specific discussions today.

After hearing that they could receive professional training and become singers, actors or models, all the customer ladies became excited. They put their hands on their chests and clenched them into fists, shaking them in a small and high frequency.

"Then I've finished talking about training and planning. For everyone's future consideration, the company has drafted a new contract. If you want to receive training, you must sign this contract first."

After Tang De finished speaking, Kane came over with the prepared contract: "I will explain the details of the contract to everyone carefully. I hope everyone will listen carefully and sign after confirmation."

After Kane began to explain the contract, Donde and Jimmy walked into the office.

Jimmy wondered: "Why do we need to negotiate a contract with them? Why don't we just let them sign it and that's it?"

Tang De leaned against the table: "There's no need, Jimmy, I'm not a black-hearted capitalist."

Seeing the word "disbelief" written all over Jimmy's face, Tang De spread his hands and said, "Okay, I admit, Kane will talk about those messy and useless terms, and he will go over the key terms in one go."

"Don De, you are such a bad boy!" Jimmy clicked his tongue twice, and then said: "You want to stun them, right? You even called Caiden back specifically to make their heads spin, right?"

That's right, Kaiden's return to the company today was a play performed by Tang De to show the customer service ladies.

"You've become smarter, Jimmy!" Tang De laughed without the slightest hint of embarrassment: "This is for their own good. They will know the value of this contract in the future."

Although he used some small tricks, and the terms in the contract were relatively strict, stipulating huge compensation for breach of contract.

But he never thought about profiting from exploiting these girls, because he knew very well that the consequence of doing so would be to be sued in court.

Especially in the United States, which is about to enter the era of political correctness and an increasingly magical social environment, if its girls suddenly become LGBTQ+ and then sue the company, the company will suffer great losses.

In addition to opportunities and precipitation, the biggest benefit brought by time travelers is the ability to avoid risks.

Since you can make money steadily, there is no need to take huge risks.

The reason why Hallyu is desperately squeezing idols is not only because the industry is too complicated, but also because the national consumption power is not high enough. Their overseas exports are also driven by real profits.

If you can make money comfortably at home, just like China Entertainment, who will train yourself to go abroad?

For this reason, the United States is uniquely blessed to develop girl group/boy group culture, because this is the center of the world.

As long as the local reputation in the United States is strong, the world will naturally accept Tang De's idol groups. When the time comes, they will go on tour in Tokyo, Seoul, and the United Kingdom, and they will definitely make a lot of money.

And if Tang De's process can make a name for himself, it is foreseeable that many companies will try to poach him and imitate his routines. Angel declares that the current contract is prepared for such moments.

Kane's explanation of the contract lasted for half an hour. It was not until many of the girls were drowsy that he allowed them to choose to sign the contract independently. However, the girls were already said to be dizzy and did not care about the huge compensation. None of them cared about the huge compensation. They all signed their names in unison.

"Very good, let's finish recording." Tang De turned to look at Jimmy, who was recording with a camera.

Jimmy nodded: "Don't worry, it's all done."

Tang De patted him on the shoulder: "Then I'll go find Giorgio. You go find the venue."

"no problem!"

Twenty minutes later, Tang De appeared in front of Giorgio's office.

Before he knocked on the door, he saw his secretary, a brown-haired girl with big breasts, walking out of the door. Her collar was open, revealing a deep ravine.

Tang De raised his eyebrows, suddenly thinking that when he and Giorgio met for the first time, he seemed to have said that he loved his wife very much.

When the secretary saw Tang De, he lowered his head shyly and left the door without saying a word.

Tang De shook his head and walked directly into the office, and then found the vice president of Republic Records wearing a tie.

"Donde! Oh! Long time no see, why did you come right in?" Giorgio's shirt is still ironed properly, although he looks a little sorry for the person who ironed his shirt at the moment.

"Your secretary seems to be busy with something." Tang De sat opposite Giorgio.

After Giorgio finished cleaning himself up, he smiled and said, "Sorry, I took a nap for a while."

"I slept really well, I couldn't sleep at noon." Tang De joked, and then said: "So, do you have any ideas about what I talked about with you before?"

"Of course!" When it came to business, Giorgio immediately returned to normal: "I thought about the cooperation yesterday, and I have to say, Tang De, you have come up with another genius idea."

Giorgio's eyes were complicated. He was the one who watched Tang De rise from the bottom step by step. Although the two had only cooperated once, he had been paying attention to Tang De.

Pay attention to his consecutive MVs ranking first on the Billboard, watching him win the MTV Award, and watching him enter the film industry. Now, the identity gap between Tang De and him has been smoothed out, but it has only been less than a year.

Giorgio originally thought that he might not be able to keep up with Tang De's progress soon. Fortunately, the two had another opportunity to cooperate.

"The idol group development you proposed is very interesting. After your reminder, I did some research and found that even in the place where you proposed it, their form and completion are not as mature as you said! Selection , develop, and become famous, the whole process is so clear!" Giorgio became more and more excited as he talked, as if he saw a huge treasure in front of his eyes.

"So we have to hurry up! Tang De, we want to seize the European and American markets, and then rely on the country's influence to push it to other regions!" What Giorgio said now is what Tang De said to him before, and he has fully accepted it.

"Haha, Giorgio, you have to eat the burger one bite at a time!" Tang De knocked on the table: "Since you agree, let's sign a contract. You will be responsible for the album and training, and I will be responsible for the personnel and film and television. I think we will see you soon. It’s working.”

"No problem, happy cooperation!" Giorgio stretched out his hand.

"Happy cooperation!"

Three days later, Tang De drove to the 67th Armory in New York, because the Victoria's Secret show was going to be held here tonight.

After he handed the invitation ticket to the staff, he entered smoothly and came to the official T stage show.

The place has been decorated, and the first thing you see is the magnificent marble background in the center. At the same time, the edges of the T stage are wrapped with orange light sources, and the sides are black velvet with red and white dotted light sources.

The whole space looked psychedelic and solemn. Tang De couldn't help but look forward to it when he thought that those models would walk in front of him wearing sexy underwear.

But just when he was about to find a place to sit down, his cell phone suddenly rang.

Tang De opened it and saw that it was Kaiden. She wanted Tang De to come backstage and said there were some things to deal with.

Tang De raised his eyebrows, not knowing what was going on behind the scenes, but since she said there was a need, naturally he, the boss, would help his employees solve their problems.

So he walked to the location mentioned in Kaiden's text message and walked through the flow of staff to the backstage area.
