Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

Chapter 137 Let's have a short meeting.

Over the next two days, Han Shuo and Li Haoyan kept in constant phone contact, confirming each other's bottom lines one by one.

Almost every time he finished filming, he would receive a report from Li Haoyan that he was waiting for his call.

Both sides also convened their key management teams that night to discuss the details of the cooperation in detail.

"To date, we have reached two points of consensus:"

Lee Jong-seok summarized in a loud voice: "First, Star Entertainment will provide four female trainees to supplement Rainbow Project. In return, they will receive at least 1% of DSP Entertainment's shares, and up to 2%."

Fanxing Entertainment has its own trainee label.

The company provides a lot of resources and support to its trainees, which gives them considerable popularity before their debut, such as Kim Yoon-ji.

When a member of StarsRookies is among the nominees, StarsRookies will receive a 2% stake.

Both parties also agreed that each selected member could have only one StarsRookies member, in order to prevent StarsRookies from being drained by DSP Entertainment.

"That's right."

Li Haoyan gave his approval.

"Secondly, the Rainbow project is entirely operated independently by DSP Entertainment, but Bilibili will provide certain traffic and resource support."

Han Shuo nodded: "Yes, but—"

He wants to retain at least four of his female trainees' individual contracts.

This is to ensure support and assistance for the four individuals.

At the same time, Star Entertainment can also benefit from the increased popularity of the four individuals.

However, this proposal was met with fierce protests from DSP Entertainment's management.

He opted for a less ideal approach, choosing a roundabout route: "However, the prerequisite for this condition to be met is that we reach a consensus on the operational details."

The operational guidelines are designed to ensure the smooth operation of the Rainbow Group.

To avoid the terrible situation where the group is ruined by Choi Mi-kyung if Lee Ho-yeon is absent for various reasons.

He is extremely meticulous about the operational details.

For example, it ensured his rights as an independent producer, free from interference from anyone.

For example, it was agreed that L'Arc-en-Ciel would return to their home country at least once a year, and in case of tours or other situations, the period could be extended to one and a half years.

If DSP Entertainment defaults, he can reclaim the individual contracts of the four trainees.

"I also requested that there be three contract negotiation periods of three, five, and seven years, at which time the Rainbow Group's past performance will be used as a basis to increase the profit sharing ratio of all members or maintain the status quo accordingly."

This is to ensure that their four female trainees are not mistreated.

Both parties agreed to select four new members through a selection process at the beginning of next year.

However, Han Shuo already had preliminary choices in mind: Moon Hyun-ah, Jeon Hyo-sung, Kim Yoon-ji, and one undecided candidate.

Two out of the three members are his people.

Jeon Hyo-sung has a hot body, he can't possibly let her go.

The person whose identity is pending might also become one of his people.

From this perspective, he would never allow the four of them to suffer.

Meanwhile, in his future plans, rather than the crude method of directly providing living expenses, he would prefer to provide his wife with financial security through a more subtle approach, such as increasing the percentage of her earnings.

The four members who were sent to debut in Nijisanji also received the same treatment.

"How is that possible?"

Kim Ki-young of DSP Entertainment raised his hand in objection: "We run a company, not a charity."

"The company invests massive amounts in training and packaging costs, all to reap the maximum profits from the group's rise to fame. How could they possibly set up three negotiation periods?"

Han Shuo glanced at him: "You call this reaping the greatest profits? This is called draining the pond to catch all the fish!"

"The company is exploiting its artists too much, which will eventually lead to their rebellion. When that happens, there will be no profits left, and everyone will part ways."

It's supposed to be a three-stage negotiation period, but it will soon become two.

Next year, with the Fair Trade Commission stepping in to rectify industry irregularities, all exclusive brokerage contracts in South Korea will be required to be revised to seven years.

Even SM Entertainment, known for its defiant and stubborn approach, has revised the contract durations of its artists under the guidance of the Trade and Industry Commission.

The thirteen-year contracts of Im Yoon-ah and others were shortened to seven years.

"Resist? What will they have to offer—"

Kim Ki-young tried to argue further, but Lee Ho-yeon stopped him, saying, "I agree with Han Seok's opinion."

He was reluctant to agree to this detailed rule.

But as Han Shuo said, this was a prerequisite for the cooperation between the two parties.

In order to successfully reach a cooperation agreement, he had no choice but to make a painful sacrifice to get Han Shuo's nod in return.

He addressed his subordinates, saying, "Increasing the profit-sharing ratio will motivate the members and also foster a more personal relationship between the artists and the company. Why not do it?"

"Furthermore, the trainee training program of Starry Sky Entertainment has yielded remarkable results, so we actually benefited a lot from it."

With Li Haoyan willing to make concessions in exchange for cooperation, the meeting finally achieved the desired results.

The two parties have officially reached a cooperation agreement.

After Han Shuo signed his name and stamped the contract, he officially became a minority shareholder of DSP Entertainment.

After that, Lee Ho-yeon signed two producer contracts with him.

The contract stipulated a set of targets and corresponding rewards for Kara and Rainbow's new album in terms of album sales, digital music performance, and music show results.

He can exercise his options whenever he achieves a goal.

Acquire a certain percentage of shares at an insider price.

If both girl groups' activities go smoothly, he has the opportunity to acquire a total of 2% of DS at a low price through the two producer contracts.

P Entertainment Holdings.

"It's a pleasure working with you. From now on, we're family. Please offer your suggestions and advice to the company."

Han Shuo shook Li Haoyan's hand back: "I believe you will not regret this choice in the future. This will lead DSP Entertainment into a new era."

Li Haoyan patted Han Shuo's hand heavily: "I'm already looking forward to it."

"Stay tuned."

Han Shuo had Li Zhongshuo announce the collaboration within the team.

Next year, following the T-ara project, the company will collaborate with DSP Entertainment to launch a seven-member girl group, opening up four new debut spots.

They will be able to debut with DSP Entertainment next year. If such a debut opportunity were available elsewhere, it would definitely be snapped up by countless trainees.

However, this debut project was met with a cold reception from Star Entertainment.

All the female trainees under the company showed a resistant attitude.

"Brother, I don't want to go."

Naza immediately found him and explained the situation, still holding him tightly and refusing to let go: "If you dare to send me away, I'll call the police and accuse you of human trafficking."

"6

"This is a normal business collaboration, it doesn't restrict your freedom."

"I don't care, I don't care, just don't sell me."

Han Shuo rolled his eyes at the idiot: "With your terrible Korean, even if I wanted to sell you over there, they wouldn't take you, okay?"

Although she was being looked down upon, Naza was happy: "That's good!"

"You little idiot~"

Naza ran off with a grin, then returned the way he came: "I almost forgot, Ya Rong said she'd poison you if you dared to sell her."

Grass.

What rare species are our own female trainees?

Tell her to wait a minute—

Han Shuo looked at Na Zha with suspicion: "That little monkey might say something like that, but it seems she has no need to go through you—"

"ah!"

Naza knew immediately that the plan had failed, and turned to run away.

Han Shuo grabbed him and lifted him up: "You little punk, trying to fool me?"

"Brother, brother~"

Naza curled up cutely, looking like a big hamster.

Perhaps she's learning from those around her, she's becoming increasingly adept at acting cute and charming.

He rushed over, and Naza immediately became obedient: "Does it hurt?"

Han Shuo smiled gently: "Go and call everyone over, we need to have a short meeting."

"Okay."

The girl turned around and ran away without a care in the world.

Before long, all 21 active female trainees from the four dormitories had arrived.

This was the first time Jeon Hyo-sung had participated in such a nighttime heart-to-heart talk, and he felt quite curious. He looked around and secretly peeked at Han Seok's dormitory.

Wool blankets everywhere, plush toys galore, adorable elements lining the surface—

It turns out that these board members are still little princesses at heart.

If Han Shuo knew what she was thinking, he would definitely correct her, saying, "Sorry, the little princess you saw is actually this little girl, Shen Yunzhu."

Everyone, please sit down in a row.

"I know why you don't want to go to DSP Entertainment," Han Shuo said, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "But I can guarantee that firstly, I am the producer, and I have power second only to Li Haoyan."

The female trainees under its umbrella are unwilling to go to DSP Entertainment, probably because they are worried that the treatment will not be as good as that of Star Entertainment.

"I will do my best to get the best treatment for you. As long as you focus on your comeback, the fame and fortune you eventually gain will not be much less than those from Star Entertainment."

"Not too many, that is—"

Kim Ah-young muttered to herself.

But Han Shuo only glanced at her, and she skillfully covered her mouth, forcing out a fawning smile, as if to say: I was wrong, spare my life.

This guy is a real character.

Han Shuo looked away: "Secondly, I will serve as Rainbow's producer, taking full responsibility for the group's concept and album production."

In this respect, the people who joined Rainbow Project were actually just using the core team from DSP Entertainment; he was still in charge of the entertainment career planning.

This can alleviate the unease in everyone's hearts.

He further hinted: "In principle, I prefer to choose the older ones among you —"

The six members of the Crown Group remained calm and composed.

This has little to do with them.

Of the remaining people, the oldest, Wen Xuanya, suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

She had a feeling that she would definitely be one of Han Shuo's favorite candidates.

To be fair, DSP Entertainment is just about making money, but she doesn't want to go there. She can get everything she wants with Han Shuo, isn't that better?

She broke up with Han Shuo and went to DSP Entertainment.

In the future, I won't be able to give it to him whenever I want; I'll have to carefully plan my time to meet with Han Shuo.

But she is very smart.

Since it is Han Shuo who wants her to go, instead of resisting Han Shuo's wishes, she might as well obediently choose to listen and actively gain more support and favor from Han Shuo.

"Director, if it were me, I would unconditionally follow your arrangements."

You damn bitch!

Jiang Enhui internally drew circles around Wen Xuanya's feelings.

Everyone else resisted, but you were the most obedient. Did that make you stand out?

If we exclude Moon Hyun-ah, and go down the age list, then we're all in the 88 Line.

She definitely doesn't want to go to DSP Entertainment.

No matter how good the opportunity to debut was, she couldn't bear to part with Han Shuo.

From material conditions to emotional value, and even saturation, I can't live without Han Shuo in any aspect.

Actually, if it weren't for the incompatibility, she would have loved to move into Han Shuo's room.

Singing to Han Shuo: I need your love every day~

"I've got it."

Han Shuo's eyes showed admiration.

He gave Wen Xuanya a suggestive look.

There are still more than half a year until the selection, so there is still time to persuade the people.

"I now have a basic understanding of how Rainbow operates. Let me tell you about it first, and you can think about it carefully."

The group sat closer together.

Many of them had already showered and were wearing loose, comfortable loungewear. The various scents of shower gel and perfume kept wafting into Han Shuo's nose.

Heaven has mercy on us.

He has food to eat every day, so he shouldn't be so greedy.

However, the 19-year-old was too hot-tempered, and an embarrassing scene almost occurred.

Fortunately, the little girl came in under the guise of sharing fruit and cleared away the salted pork knuckles around him.

"The group name is 'Rainbow,' and I want it to embody a healthy, sweet, and vibrant American campus style."

Hanseok plans to create a group of sisters who can be both sweet and mature, with Kim Jae-kyung and Kim Yoon-ji, the 88-line sisters, as the core, and Moon Hyun-ah, Go Woo-ri, Jeon Hyo-sung, and Jo Hyun-young.

During this period, a small team can also be formed with Moon Hyun-ah, Kim Yoon-ji, Kim Jae-kyung, and other undetermined candidates.

Copy Sistar's route as a backup plan.

"This concept is both offensive and defensive, allowing for the addition of sexy elements, and it can also be used to gradually transition into a sweet style."

"This requires the selected members to maintain a certain amount of exercise on a regular basis and have an excellent physique, giving a very three-dimensional first impression."

"The general feeling is like Yoonji's version of 'If You Love Me'."

Kim Yoon-ji accurately received the hint.

She was unwilling to leave Star Entertainment.

But what can you do when that scoundrel is so heartless?

No.

She had to eat her fill before leaving.

"Think it over carefully, all of you. Meeting adjourned!"

Wen Xuanya raised her hand almost immediately and said cleverly, "Director, I have an idea that I'd like to discuss with you further."

"sure."

This is the reward for those who take the initiative.

Han Shuo nodded: "If anyone else is interested, or wants to learn more about the concept of Rainbow, please contact me again tomorrow."

at the same time.

Li Xue and her parents were successfully picked up by staff from Fanxing Entertainment.

Check-in at a hotel in Jiangnan.

"Wow, to help with food and lodging, they're offering an executive suite right off the bat."

The family of three marveled at the sight.

Just as rumored, Han Shuo was very generous, displaying the straightforwardness typical of people from Shandong Province.

Even though they hadn't met yet, Han Shuo's impression on Li Xue's parents skyrocketed.

Han Shuo is very talented, has an excellent public image, and the company has a promising future. They also share a bond as fellow villagers from the same province, so they are increasingly reassured that their daughter has joined Fanxing Entertainment.

Li Xue sleeps with her mother.

Mr. Li sleeps alone.

Before going to bed, he opened the laptop provided in the room and skillfully accessed Bilibili.

This is currently his only window into understanding Korean entertainment: "Weekly Korean Entertainment Report".

From its initial poor quality to its current high-quality picture and feel, this entertainment-oriented news summary program has been getting better and better.

Every now and then there will be a high-quality special episode analyzing the overall situation of the industry.

For example, the last Super Junior special made him clearly aware of the inherent shortcomings and unscrupulous operations of South Korean music production companies.

This program will include a May Day special.

He was very curious about what this special episode would analyze.

May Day Special: On the Cyclical Salary Crisis in the Korean Drama Market.

"The Korean entertainment ecosystem has three inherent weaknesses that have severely limited the development of the entire industry."

The opening paragraph is similar to the previous industry situation summary, which can be summarized in one sentence: the current situation is extremely precarious, and we must embrace reform.

"It's even a series of special reports, that's interesting."

Kim Yoon-ji and Kim Jae-kyung (88Line).
