Tang Jinyan leisurely sipped his coffee as he leaned back on the sofa. It was as if this wasn't the first time they were meeting to discuss business, but rather an old friend. However, what he said surprised Kim Yingmin and Lee Soo-man.
"Actually, when I saw Girls' Generation downstairs, I already knew that the two of you had already rejected my offer," he said calmly, "If it was a win-win situation, why would the two of you need to find someone you know to negotiate with?"
This was exactly what the S * M was thinking.
Before Tang Jinyan came, he had called to make an appointment. He also briefly explained the purpose of his visit. It was to discuss a mobile game project.
In reality, Tencent had already mentioned to the S * M that they wanted to collaborate with a few more companies and celebrities to make the game bigger. However, from the perspective of the S * M, they didn't want to collaborate with anyone.
It was a very profitable project to begin with. If they were to collaborate with others, they would have to deal with the copyright issues and other issues. Moreover, there would be a lot of unnecessary infighting. Most importantly, they wouldn't be able to make a lot of money. It wasn't worth it.
Therefore, when they received Tang Jinyan's call, after some internal discussion, they decided to reject his offer. They were worried that rejecting Tang Jinyan's offer would greatly offend him. That was why they called Girls' Generation over. It would be easier for Tang Jinyan to negotiate since they were acquaintances.
However, they didn't expect Tang Jinyan to be so perceptive. When he saw Girls' Generation, he was able to guess the S * M's attitude.
Lee Soo-man was silent for a moment before he smiled and said, "If one project doesn't work out, we can still look for other projects.
Even if all of them don't work out, we're still friends. "
Kim Yingmin also said, "A mobile game is just a simple project to make money. There's no need to be so serious about Chairman Tang's status."
Tang Jinyan shook his head, "A simple project to make money … Is that what President Kim is thinking?"
Kim Yingmin frowned, "It's just a mobile game. What's so special about it?"
Tang Jinyan said, "Maybe my brain is always different from others.
When I was doing the Sino-Korean Cultural Park project, the original plan was to focus on the Cultural Corridor and Amusement Park, but I felt that it would be better to make it into a Film City.
When I first heard about this mobile game on the Sino-Korean Exchange Forum, I felt that it shouldn't be a mobile game. "
Kim Yingmin and Lee Soo-man looked at each other. Their expressions were serious as they said, "Please elaborate."
"I'm an amateur when it comes to the operations of the entertainment industry, so my ideas aren't mature yet. The two of you are very experienced, so it's a good opportunity for us to discuss it together."
Tang Jinyan did not hide anything. He muttered, "First of all, everyone knows that after the popularization of smartphones, young people have all become low-level people. The number of mobile users is no less than the PC users, and it might even surpass them. This is a huge market."
Neither of them said anything. This was something that everyone knew. Tang Jinyan's words were obviously just a prelude, and there was more to it.
Sure enough, Tang Jinyan continued, "The online communication of Korean artists' fans is currently concentrated on DAUMCAFE and NAVERCAFE. They pay to gather and form a fan exchange base, which is the so-called official cafe.
I think that there's still a lot of room for development in the form of an official cafe forum … For example, this mobile game … If we can make it into a fan exchange base with game elements in it, and even allow users to date virtual idols … It's a combination of an official cafe and a game, wouldn't there be some unexpected effects? "
Kim Yingmin and Lee Soo-man's eyes suddenly lit up. They lowered their heads and muttered to themselves. They were much more experienced than Tang Jinyan in this industry, and they knew that there were many complicated problems that could not be solved so easily.
But they had to admit that this was a very good idea.
If everything went according to Tang Jinyan's plan, this mobile game would be a gathering place for all the artists' fans. It was very likely that it would become … an app for each of the fans, and they would fight to become users?
Would they be outdated if they didn't play this game?
Would this still be a game?
This is going to be a huge monster …
Perhaps it was because Tang Jinyan had never really been involved in the entertainment industry. As a bystander, he was always able to see things outside the box. His perspective was indeed different from people like them who had been bound by a fixed mindset for nearly 20 years …
Tang Jinyan's vision was too broad. When he opened his mouth, he encompassed everyone. He did not consider the problems of each individual company.
This vision was impossible for the people involved. Not to mention whether they could let go of all kinds of grievances, just based on qualifications alone, no one could unite all the entertainment companies to participate in this grand event.
Moreover, Tang Jinyan's idea was not limited to Korea. First of all, it was in the plan in China. Perhaps it would be a grand event in the entertainment industry that spanned across China and Korea?
Tang Jinyan continued, "Originally, my idea was completely different from the original theme of SM. Tang can do it himself.
But in the end, your company is too awesome. I can't do this without your company, so I might as well be honest with you and cooperate in this grand event.
What do the two of you think? "
The two big shots were deep in thought.
This kind of thing was enough to make one's blood boil. Once it was done, as one of the initiators, SM's benefits would be unimaginable. It was really incomparable to the so-called small matter of making a mobile game.
But they also knew that if they let SM take the lead, there was a 99.999% chance that this matter would fail. Who would be willing to be led by the nose by SM?
This kind of thing could only be done by the government. China's Ministry of Culture and Korea's Ministry of Culture, Tourism, and Tourism would co-lead.
And a brand new company would have to be set up. All the big companies would have to share shares and restrict each other. In the end, the CEO that all parties could accept would most likely be Tang Jinyan, who was neither close nor distant from the industry and had the support of the government.
The two of them looked at Tang Jinyan's overly young face and sighed to themselves.
That was how Tang Dynasty was formed. The rise of Tang Dynasty had already made Tang Jinyan stand in the upper class of Korea. This idea might be another virtual Tang Dynasty company. If it was really done, Tang Jinyan wanted to go to heaven?
Lee Soo-man finally said, "SM needs to discuss this matter.
We can't give Chairman Tang an answer in the short term. "
Tang Jinyan smiled slightly. "Director Li's attitude means that Tang Dynasty's proposal is not whimsical?"
"It's a little whimsical, but it's not impossible.
The main thing is that this picture is very interesting and makes people want to think about it … "Lee Soo-man sighed." No wonder Chairman Tang would personally make the connection. In comparison, making a mobile game is really boring. "
Tang Jinyan smiled. "That's good. This idea is not mature. I was afraid that it would make people laugh.
But since Director Li said so, there is still hope.
Your company can discuss it first. If necessary, Tang Dynasty can be responsible for contacting CJ and we can all sit down and talk. "
"Chairman Tang has shared this idea with SM. It shows that he thinks highly of us."
Kim Yingmin stood up solemnly and extended her right hand. "SM will give Chairman Tang an answer as soon as possible. Whether it succeeds or not, SM hopes to be friends with Chairman Tang."
Tang Jinyan reached out and shook her hand. He smiled and said, "We are friends, aren't we?"
Lee Soo-man smiled and said, "It's rare for Chairman Tang to come here. Why don't we show him around?"
Tang Jinyan blinked. "I think you can have a small meeting first. I have a tour guide here."
Lee Soo-man was stunned. He saw Tang Jinyan pick up the phone and make a call. "I'm done with my business. You can show me around … Yes, I want to see where you practice and live. I heard that you even have a private room?
That's awesome … Oh right, a bunch of your sisters came to welcome me this morning. You two didn't come. Are you itching for a beating? "
The two big bosses were dumbfounded as they watched this guy flirt with their artists in front of them. They didn't know how to react.
What a weird guy … They said he was a hooligan, but he knew his limits better than anyone else. They just said that he was broad-minded and had high vision, but he suddenly became a hooligan …
But no matter what, after today's conversation, they knew that this guy's success was not a fluke.
Not to mention Lin Yuner and Xu Xian, even if there were a few more, SM felt that it was completely worth it.
