New Age Artists

Chapter 521 Seeing Me is the Last Option
Li Yu heard the noise, came out to see, and was frightened.

She brought Song Chenghuan here.

Shen Santong's business relationship with SM and the interests of the Korean entertainment industry currently only include Girls' Generation, which she is responsible for.

The cooperation with SBS TV station is still in the negotiation stage and has not yet been reached.

After Song Chenghuan was taken away like a dead dog, Li Yu's face turned pale and asked, "Will using violence cause trouble?"

Shen Santong looked normal: "What's the trouble?"

Li Yu said worriedly: "In terms of law, there is also business cooperation."

Shen Santong shook his head in disappointment: "You have to remember that we are the ones who own the big market."

"I had to take action today. It was you who caused it."

Li Yu looked innocent: "What does it have to do with me?"

Shen Santong scolded: "There is a saying that goes, build a good phoenix tree and attract a golden phoenix. The phoenix tree refers to infrastructure, and the golden phoenix refers to funds."

"We had the same attitude when we cooperated with foreign companies back then, and we should have the same attitude when the Koreans come to our market to make money."

"Do you think Korean celebrities are the only ones who are desperate? In fact, the entertainment industry is also desperate."

Shen Santong told Li Yu to remember: "Don't underestimate yourself, don't underestimate yourself!"

"You shouldn't have brought him here to see me. I'm filming a movie right now and I have to deal with company affairs. Do I have to do everything?"

"This is your business, Li Cod!"

Li Yu also had his own reasons: "I think you need to meet him. Your movie Red Cliff has just been taken off the screen in Korea, and with SM marketing Girls' Generation, you are very popular in Korea."

"You were portrayed as a nobleman at first, but now the forces responsible for Zhang Ziyan's death are deliberately trying to discredit you."

"The two sides are in a state of confrontation, and people's sympathy for Jang Ja-yeon has turned into disgust, believing that she has brought shame to Korea."

"Your image is very bad in Korea."

Shen Santong asked her to continue: "And then?"

Li Yu: "It will affect the company's business in Korea, as well as your plan."

Shen Santong: "What is the worst outcome? Can't continue to cooperate with SM, can't make money from Girls' Generation, or I lose the Korean market?"

"Girls' Generation is just a small business for me, but how much money did Girls' Generation make by using my platform? It's a big business for SM."

"Maybe someone in Korea is putting pressure on SM, but that is SM's problem, not mine."

"Even if SM decides not to cooperate with me after careful consideration, it will still be Jiahe's business, and at most it will be Deep Sea Culture's business."

"You can't ask me to clean up the situation for you."

Lee Yu said he would not take the blame: "It is you who should take care of Jang Ja-yeon's affairs."

Shen Santong shouted: "SM, what qualifications do you have to talk to me like this! You are the weak one!"

"It's like in interpersonal relationships, you start out weak, then slowly you get used to being weak, and then you continue to be weak."

"At first, when being ordered around, they would say 'trouble you', and afterwards they would say 'thank you'."

"And when this weak relationship continues, gratitude disappears and becomes taken for granted."

"After a while, I was asked to do something, but I didn't do it because I had something else to do. Helping was a favor, and not helping was my duty. But I was complained and blamed, as if I did something wrong by not helping."

"As a result, the relationship becomes increasingly unequal, and one has to either change the environment and social circle, or lose temper and explode completely."

"At this time, the other party is likely to be confused and see that you are angry, and then advise you to calm down. It's just a small matter."

"If it softens, then the previous mode of getting along will continue. Only by being tough to the end can the relationship return to equality."

"Even if Lee Soo Man was in front of me, he wouldn't dare to speak like this Song Sung Hwan!"

"SM most likely sent him to try their luck and put pressure on them. The reason they had this idea was not because of me, but because you gave them the illusion that they could give it a try."

"You have to understand that Korean culture is very bullying and fearing the strong, and this is not only true in Korea, but also in Japan and many so-called developed countries."

"You've got the wrong steps in getting along with them. First of all, you have to understand that they are backward, primitive, and barbaric. They don't have 5,000 years of culture and thought, and they don't have long-term plans."

"He doesn't know how to be grateful for his kindness. In short, he is ungrateful."

"Especially the Koreans. On the one hand, they are now the dogs of the United States, so they are very proud of themselves. On the other hand, they were our dogs in history."

"The United States is hostile to us, so it will want to bark from time to time."

"At this point, it's not something that can be resolved through discussion. First, we need to demonstrate our strength, second, we need to draw a clear line, and third, we need to show goodwill."

"To put it simply, give them a slap in the face first, and then give them something sweet. Only then will they understand: Oh, it turns out that my former master has the ability to beat me to death, but he just didn't do it and gave me something to eat. How nice."

"If you offer sweet treats right from the start and put on a very humble attitude, according to the Korean logic, they will think: I am a dog of the United States, I am the second best in the world outside the United States, and the University of Tokyo is afraid of me and my master, and they are inferior to me."

"It's like raising a dog. If you don't dare to hit it or train it, after a long time, you will be inferior to it in the eyes of the dog."

"Only by beating them up can they know who is the master and stop pushing their noses and noses."

Li Yu felt uncomfortable after being scolded, but he had nothing to say.

She is very strong towards Girls' Generation, but she is more polite when communicating with SM and SBS.

Being polite is a nice way of putting it; she really does put herself in a very low position.

Shen Santong didn't really blame Li Yu. This was the prevailing trend. "Your approach would have certain benefits in other industries, such as the real economy."

"But we are in the entertainment industry. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. Who is good or bad depends on their mouth."

"That's also why I'm working on popular culture and idol dramas."

"For a long time, there has been a trend that has made us worship Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong, which has gradually disintegrated the 2,000-year-old position of the University of Tokyo as the leader of the Japanese archipelago and the peninsula in all aspects."

"In fact, this is the common ideal of the United States, Japan, and the rebel forces on a certain island."

"The best way to establish the status of Japan and certain islands is to show the so-called development of these regions to the world, especially to the mainland."

“And through this development, they continue to output cultural works of varying quality, trying to tame us spiritually.”

"This kind of atmosphere has already formed. We put the overall situation first, which has led to long-term discipline. We are always asked to consider others."

"When facing foreigners, especially those gathered by the United States, we should be soft. It seems that it is natural for us to be humble."

"In this chain, a chain of contempt has been formed: the United States > the European Union > Japan > Taiwan. Even a second-rate country like Korea is above us in this narrative standard."

This is the struggle for the right to speak.

This is not the Hereafter.

In later generations, even if the media and capital combine to distort the facts and create a cheating math genius, it will be difficult to do so.

The people who manipulate this are led by the official media.

The video at that time was deleted, but the screenshots are still there.

This is a very stupid thing, manipulating history and law, and playing with rhetoric. For example, if a historian buys a car full of documents, he has the right to interpret the scriptures.

Mathematics is a concrete abstraction with specific standards.

This means that the people who actually report it not only do not understand mathematics, but also do not understand exam-oriented education.

Whatever you think is what you get, and you are used to calling a horse a zebra.

However, the media did not achieve its goal, but instead gave rise to a famous saying: "Todai can bury a genius in art or sports, but it will not bury a genius in mathematics."

This is the change in discourse power, and behind it is a radical shift in the balance of power.

Those born in the 90s are the lost generation, but they still have some voice. But when it comes to the post-00s who want to deny and suppress the new young generation of Tokyo University, no one will play with them anymore.

The further time goes by, the less important many comments are, because I really don’t feel them.

The traditional media’s voice has completely declined, and “studying journalism” means that the image of the media field has completely collapsed.

The value of this sentence continues to increase.

The perspective of later generations is naturally filtered through the "Celestial Empire", and Japan and South Korea are viewed as "vassal states" or "barbarians".

But it’s 09 now.

The 3g era has just arrived.

This is the era of traditional media, and the opinions of normal people are suppressed.

The media can support illiterate people on the one hand, and at the same time criticize them: You see, those born in the 80s are indeed the lost generation.

Shen Santong couldn't avoid it because he was among them.

5 month 1 day.

The Siam scenes have been completed, which means that most of the scenes of "Lost in Thailand" have been filmed, with only a small number of domestic scenes left.

Lee Soo-man and Kim Young-min rushed to Siam to meet Shen Santong.

Li Xiuman pointed at Shen Santong and said, "Mr. Shen, I hope you can give us an explanation as to why our company's employees were beaten by your people. Are you a gangster?"

Shen Santong pointed back, ignoring his question, and drew a line: "First of all, our cooperation is limited to Girls' Generation. Their business is in Golden Harvest, and it is just one of my companies."

"I can't manage too many specific matters, and it's not convenient for me to manage them. If you have anything to say, please go find Li Yu first. She is in charge of the specific cooperation matters of Girls' Generation."

"If Li Yu couldn't handle it, he went to the general manager of Jiahe, then the person in charge of Shenhai Culture, and then the vice president of Santong Entertainment in charge of brokerage business."

Shen Santong and Li Xiuman looked at each other and said word by word: "As for me, I am very busy. Coming to see me should be your last option after all your efforts have failed. Do you understand?"

The space in the room seemed to be frozen.

Shen Santong's aura became aggressive.

"I represent not only myself, but the entire Korean entertainment industry, including many of our elites, such as the Lotte Group you mentioned."

Lee Soo Man did not back down at this time, and looked directly at Shen San Tong: "If you solve it through our channel, you will not only gain the friendship of SM, but also the friendship of others."

"I'm not threatening you, but I'm saying, Mr. Shen, you are a public figure, and your country has a long tradition of ascetic saints. Your moral issues will be magnified in public opinion, and all your actions will be scrutinized."

"On the contrary, if you let go of something that is just outside your country and has nothing to do with you, you can eat with a mouth full of oil."

"Coming to see me is your last option." Shen Santong signaled the end of the conversation.

Lee Soo Man asked back: "Then I will go back and report to the people behind me?"

"It's up to you." Shen Santong asked his secretary to take the two out.

Li Xiuman turned around and looked at the closed door of the hotel, as if he could feel Shen Santong's real gaze behind the door.

Of course, he knew that there was a high probability that Shen Santong didn't care about him at all.

He once again felt Shen Santong's toughness and determination, and he also knew that Shen Santong was qualified.

Jin Yingmin said worriedly: "How can we explain to those people in Lotte? It's a huge monster, not to mention that it's not just Lotte."

Everybody did it.

Li Xiuman returned to the room downstairs and sighed, "Shen Santong knows his influence too well and is very good at using it."

"In any country, phenomenal film directors have a high status, and the bigger the country, the more so, because movies can shape collective consciousness and become the memory of a generation."

"If Shen Santong died now, he would be a legend in the early days of Dongda Film's marketization."

"Shen Santong has two identities, one is a businessman and the other is a director, and he can switch between these two identities."

"It is difficult for us to influence him because of our inter-interest relationship. His most important interest is himself. As long as his movies continue to sell well, he will have no shortage of fans and supporters."

Jin Yingmin is usually very smart, but at this moment he was at a loss: "Break up cooperation with him, at least I can give an explanation."

"Of course we can't interrupt the conversation with Shen Santong!" Lee Soo-man interrupted without thinking.

"How long has it been? We have earned more than 6 billion (won) from Girls' Generation. Who can pay us this benefit?"

Just kidding, the chain of contempt created by Korean Wave is only aimed at those who accept it.

The more you believe, the more humble you become. However, when you actually do business, you will realize how high the cost of training trainees is.

The market for Korean food itself is pitifully small.

The cooperation with Shen Santong is not about future benefits, but it has paid off now, and it is a reward enough to drive people crazy.

One movie made Girls' Generation popular in Tokyo University, and then with the channels built by Santong Entertainment, they got a lot of commercial performances and endorsements.

If Lee Soo-man wasn't afraid of losing control, he wouldn't want Girls' Generation to return to Korea.

What a fucking profit!
It's simply a money printing machine!
On the other side, TVXQ is making trouble. They have worked so hard to cultivate Girls' Generation. If anyone can stop this money-printing machine, Lee Soo-man will really fight with them.

In the long run, Girls' Generation will make at least tens of billions or hundreds of billions (Korean won) in profit. Who will pay him this money?

Jin Yingmin reminded: "It's hard for us to explain."

"This really needs to be resolved. Fortunately, the explanation is ready." Lee Soo-man looked at Song Sung-hwan in the corner of the room, who had lost several teeth and a bruised face.

Song Chenghuan was confused when he was suddenly stared at: "Ah?"

There was a strange look in Jin Yingmin's eyes. He claimed to be sick because he understood Shen Santong's tough character. He knew that it would be fruitless and might even damage their friendship.

Looking back now, Lee Soo Man is such a sinister old fox.

Seoul Airport.

Lee Soo Man and Kim Young Min came out of the airport, followed by Song Sung Hwan with a bruised face.

The reporter happened to be there and took a picture of Song Chenghuan's face with swollen cheeks.
