Since Cube was just a toy, by extension, the S * M would not be any better.
After returning to the company, Tang Jinyan called the S * M's Kim Yingmin. "The matter we talked about last time is over."
Kim Yingmin was stunned for three seconds before he realized what was going on. He also understood why Tang Jinyan said it was over. It was because those people's attitude of not doing anything made Tang Jinyan very unhappy.
He smiled helplessly and said, "Chairman Tang, you should understand their concerns."
"They're not my father. Why should I understand their concerns?"
Tang Jinyan snorted. "Since they don't want to work with me, Tang Jiu, then goodbye. Let's part on good terms."
Kim Yingmin said helplessly, "Then, Shaoshi …"
"Hmm?" Tang Jinyan said calmly, "Do you really think you can use Shaoshi's contract renewal to threaten me?"
"That's not it …"
"If that's not it, then why did you mention it?"
"It's just a slip of the tongue."
At this moment, Jin Yingmin was also extremely regretful. God knew that Tang Jinyan was actually this powerful. Several major forces had joined forces to attack him, but he had still managed to come out unscathed. He had even dragged Piao Yuanchun down with him.
If they had stood firmly on Tang Jinyan's side in this situation, they would have gained a lot. Unfortunately, there were no ifs in this world. Now, they were facing Tang Jinyan's parting ways.
Fortunately, the S * M was still on Tang Jinyan's side in the matter of the artists' joint letter. Or rather, they were on the side of the Minister of Culture, Tourism, and Tourism. No matter what, they did not lose their relationship. Tang Jinyan would not fall out with them. He just said, "Forget it. We're still very happy to work together in the company. Let's not talk about those things anymore.
If we really want to work together, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. "
He still left some leeway in his words. Kim Yingmin also knew what he meant. She smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I sat down with Chairman Tang. Why don't we have a meal together?"
"Forget it. Shaoshi made three rounds in Japan. What good food can I have with you guys?"
Kim Yingmin wanted to say something but hesitated. On the other end, Tang Jinyan had already hung up.
Kim Yingmin frowned as she held her phone and thought for a while. Finally, she sighed and called the head of the publicity and planning department over. "Cancel the bundling hype plan on June 19th."
The subordinate was stunned. "I've already made an appointment with the D Society."
"As for the D Society, when the photos are taken, I reckon they'll have to meet with Tang Jinyan first.
We don't know what Tang Jinyan's attitude towards this matter is … We've already made him angry when we stood by and did nothing. If we do something like this again, his reaction will be unpredictable. It's better to put it aside for now. "
"Tang Jinyan … He doesn't have anything to do with Tai Yan. He doesn't need to care about this, right?"
"It's hard to say … After all, he brought Tai Yan back from Quanzhou during the New Year."
Kim Yingmin scratched her head. "What a headache. Our company's publicity plan actually needs to avoid other people's attitudes … We've already canceled Xu Xian and Lu Han's pure white line. We don't dare to use this lead singer line either …"
The subordinate's mouth twitched. He deeply understood the boss's headache. Indeed, it was not worth offending Tang Jinyan over this kind of hype.
Their three love lines had actually been planned since the debut of EXO. They planned to gradually carry it out over the next few years.
Xu Xian's line was canceled because her relationship with Tang Jinyan was clear. This was still acceptable. However, Tai Yan's line had to be avoided from him even though there wasn't even a shadow of her. This made him unsure of what to feel.
"Then …" The subordinate probed. "What about Kai Jing's line?"
"Speaking of which, I'm even more annoyed."
Kim Yingmin said angrily, "According to the news from SBS, Tang Jinyan also seems to see Zheng Xiujing in a different light.
It's fine if it's Shaoshi, but even F (x) has something to do with him?
I say, does this guy have a grudge against me, so he's picking on me? "
Tang Jinyan did not know that because of some groundless accusations, the hype plan that S * M had been planning for more than two years had been completely ruined. If he knew, he might have laughed out loud.
Speaking of which, if he knew, he would probably think that this method of publicity was too low and meaningless.
The only thing that stood out was that artists were treated like puppets.
(Note: Tai Bai, Xu Lu, and Kai Jing. At the end of 2012, there were big shots who released these three lines. In the end, two of them really hit the jackpot. The other line was stalled when Lu Han returned to China.
As for whether the two lines were true or not, to be honest, I don't know either.
Recklessness is real, light and shadow are fake.
In front of the stage and behind the scenes, the fake is real. Being too immersed in it will only harm the body. It's better to just read the people in the books.)
*****
The atmosphere in Korea was quiet for half a month.
During this period of time, Pu Hyomin's solo, "Nice Body", had officially hit the charts. She had taken the crown of one of the major leaderboards, creating two historical records: T-ara's first solo, and her first solo to take the top spot.
Kim Kwang-soo was overjoyed. As he increased the publicity for Park Ji-yeon's upcoming solo, he also planned to come up with a new solo proposal for Park Hyomin.
This time, Tang Jinyan did not fall for it. The proposal was immediately sent to his desk. As soon as he saw the words "XX" on it, he threw the proposal into the wastebasket and scolded Kim Kwang-soo.
F * ck, the bosses of other companies know how to avoid certain things because of me, but you, Kim Kwang-soo, dare to touch a tiger's head. Do you really think that I won't get angry?
Kim Kwang-soo was sweating profusely from the scolding. He had no choice but to start planning for Han Eun-kyung's solo. He no longer dared to think about XX.
As Park Hyomin's solo went viral, T-ara's TV series also entered its climax. The ratings reached a terrifying 40%, breaking the peak figures of the third channel a few years ago. It caused a sensation in the industry.
Suddenly, more and more yuri dramas started to follow the trend. However, the public did not seem to be buying it this time.
It was good to watch something new. It was boring to play it all day long.
Just like when "The King's Man" was gay, everyone laughed and watched. If you were gay every day, it would be strange if people did not vomit blood.
Those who followed the trend helplessly turned their attention to New Village Entertainment again to see what new product they were planning to film.
According to the news, New Village Entertainment had no plans to film a new series this year. In terms of film and television production, they were putting all their efforts into wrapping up "Battle of the Dew Beam". It was said that it was about to be completed and entered the post-production stage.
Just when people thought that New Village Entertainment would not make any big moves this year, New Village Entertainment told them that just because they did not film a new series, it did not mean that they would not make any new moves.
On the 19th of June, which was supposed to be the day of the S * M hype show, New Village Entertainment held a press conference to announce the acquisition of IHQ's 30.61% shares in CUBE and the 14.64% shares held by the former president, Hong Shengcheng, for a total of 45.25% of the shares and a strong entry into CUBE.
As soon as the news came out, there was an uproar.
How long had CUBE been on the market?
It had just started to rise and was about to bear fruit. Even the major shareholder and the former president had sold all their shares. All their previous preparations had gone to the benefit of New Village Entertainment?
It was almost certain that Tang Jinyan would make a lot of money in the coming months based on the market value of this acquisition alone.
Ordinary people were envious that Tang Jinyan was clearly robbing money, but industry insiders could see that Tang Jinyan's entry point was very accurate. This acquisition would definitely make a lot of money, but it would be hard to say later … In a sense, this acquisition was to turn CUBE around.
As for CUBE's future direction, it would be revealed based on the following operations.
As for the following operations … it was really confusing.
This was because some observant people would notice that the name of the new president of CUBE was unknown. He seemed to be the backbone that Tang Jinyan had appointed from the New Village Group. And on the new CUBE board of directors, there was an additional name that made people wonder if it was the same name: Executive Director, Pu Chulong.
It's fake … Pu Chulong?
Could it be that the nameless president was the real deal?
In the midst of this chaos, Song Ji-hyo walked into Tang Jinyan's office with a stack of drafts. "There's a TV series about inside news, lies and truth. SBS asked if we were interested."
