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

February 10, 2008, the fourth day of the first lunar month.

Kimchi Country, Gangnam District.

SM Entertainment, New Talent Development Office.

Han Seok quickly signed his name on the trainee termination contract.

It was as if being even a second slower would be disrespectful to the thirteen years he had wasted in his previous life.

Laugh to death.

Did they intend to threaten him by saying his trainee contract was about to expire and renewal would depend on his performance?

Didn't expect that terminating the contract would play right into their hands?

This is called: A promise made, double happiness arrives.

opposite.

Chief Kim's face was terribly gloomy.

Super Junior has been famous for a long time and has a large number of fans. Being able to join Super Junior as a new member means you can skip several years of hard work.

If this opportunity were offered to outsiders, countless people would fight tooth and nail for it.

Who would have thought that Han Shuo, that scoundrel, wouldn't know what's good for him?

Instead of being grateful in your heart, just work like a slave to the company.

They actually dared to disobey the company's arrangements time and time again.

Unforgivable.

He was furious.

"Ungrateful wretch!"

Enraged, Director Kim launched into a tirade: "You've betrayed the company's hard work!"

Han Shuo glared at him, his words dripping with disdain: "Have you let the company down?"

"Don't I have a better option?"

"Obviously not. I was the prospective leader of a new boy group, and I could have debuted legitimately in a few months."

"And now?"

"You guys forced me to join Super Junior with three other people, and my future is uncertain."

"When you added members to Super Junior last time, you promised the fans that you wouldn't add any more new members."

"This time, we broke our promise and still tried to squeeze four people in at once. It's foreseeable that the fan base will be in an uproar and will also hate the four of us to the extreme."

"You deliberately brought me here, saying you wanted to promote me, but actually you wanted me to step on a landmine and become the target of your fans' attacks."

"If I can please the fans, you will keep adding members and turning Super Junior into a boy group that can expand infinitely with new members."

"In that case, the exposure and resources of all members will be distributed infinitely and then reduced, and I, as the target, will not be able to benefit from the negative publicity."

"If you can't, you will definitely discard us like trash, and the four of us will become the victims of your plan."

In the previous life, when faced with protests from fans, the company was the first to kneel down.

The agreed-upon model of first forming a small team and then integrating into the main team has been changed to a China-only small team, with their status and resources being significantly reduced.

He was so angry that he switched to CCM.

"Damn it!"

Having his thoughts exposed, Chief Kim was furious and pointed at her, yelling, "You ingrate!"

"The company has trained you for four years for nothing, and you don't even feel grateful..."

"Feed, feed."

Han Shuo interrupted, "Training them for nothing?"

"Is the company's training program free?"

"Does that mean I don't have to pay it back after I debut?"

"No, quite the opposite. The exclusive contract we signed is not an employment agreement, but a partnership agreement. It's like being in debt before even making our debut."

"After we debut, the company doesn't recoup the training costs from the entire project's revenue; instead, they take a tiny share of our meager earnings to cover the costs."

"This is clearly a model where everyone gets what they want from a loan to debut, a mutually beneficial arrangement. Why are you talking to me about training someone for free?"

"dog……"

Chief Kim was furious and rolled up his sleeves, ready to come forward.

Then, startled by a glare from Han Shuo, she shrank back.

He didn't think he could beat eighteen-year-old Han Shuo.

"You'll regret this!"

You will regret your actions today for the rest of your life!

Han Shuo stopped at the door.

He returned a friendly middle finger greeting.

He hummed a little tune as he went downstairs.

I thought I would have to wait until the contract expired, but I didn't expect to be able to terminate it a week early.

That damn Chief Kim finally did something decent.

beep.

The other party called.

It's easy to guess that it was meant to be a threatening statement.

cut off.

Subsequently, the phone received two text messages in quick succession:

"Seeing how fearless you are, you must have found another company. No matter which company it is, it's no match for SM Entertainment. Just wait to be blacklisted by our company."

"Let me tell you, in this world, you need power and connections."

Leave a message.

The number has been blocked.

"Looking for another job?"

"Who the hell would still believe a bunch of lousy, bloodsucking companies like yours?"

"Wouldn't it be better to start my own company?"

In his previous life, after joining CCM, he discovered that this company was also a huge pitfall:

Debut spots can actually be bought and sold.

If the other party has money, they can easily take your debut spot.

After several twists and turns, he finally made his debut in a small company.

This is an even more unscrupulous factory.

After five years of group activities, they gained some popularity and even had a second debut in Japan, working tirelessly between the two countries.

Although they didn't win any awards during the event, they continued to get commercial performance opportunities.

Logically, the group should have completed its settlement long ago, and the members could have divided the money, but the unscrupulous company falsely listed various inexplicable expenses on the settlement statement.

Even the company's rent and utilities have to be added to their bills.

What future could he possibly have? He turned around, filed a lawsuit, and returned to China.

The entire training and debut activities took a total of thirteen years.

He returned to China still an ordinary person.

The heartache is indescribable.

Fortunately, he returned to China just in time for the live streaming wars, and through live streaming he amassed a considerable fortune, transitioning to an MCN (Multi-Channel Network) and producing short dramas for overseas markets...

After working hard for most of their lives, it's time to enjoy life.

As a result, I woke up back in October 2007.

Bad news: I woke up back to square one.

Good news: We've avoided taking nearly ten years of detours.

This time, no matter what, we must not entrust our future to a bunch of skin-peeling devils.

How can there be a future with these insects?

Using his knowledge from later generations, he borrowed money from his wealthy female classmate and remotely directed his cousin, a programmer who graduated from a prestigious university, to develop "Farm," and then founded Starry Sky Culture Media.

Last December, its first social mini-game, "Farm," became popular on social networking sites such as Kaixin.com, Xiaonei.com, and 51.com.

In the same month, in-app purchase value-added services were launched.

The monthly revenue share reached 40 (approximately 5059 million Korean won).

In January of this year, in order to avoid being devoured by copycats in the overseas market, the FarmVille game was decisively launched with an overseas expansion strategy.

They have partnered with Facebook in North America, Mishow in Japan, and Cyworld in South Korea to spread FarmVille to the global market.

The results for the month were impressive, with total revenue reaching 571 million (7.228 million).

Around the Spring Festival, "Farm" became a huge hit in China, Japan, and South Korea, making a fortune every day.

Now that the four-year period has ended and we have ample funds, it's time to make a big splash.

"Talking about power and background?"

"Let's see who has the last laugh."

In its previous life, SM Entertainment was once glorious and arrogant, frequently banning artists who terminated their contracts. It was the hegemon of the Korean idol market, but what was the final result?

They became fish on the chopping board, eagerly devoured by their rivals HYBE and Kakao.

The company was in dire straits.

With HYBE's failure to secure the operating rights and its subsequent exit from the competition, nearly 10% of its shares were acquired by Tencent Music.

The management rights fell into Kakao's hands, and it became a small brand under another company.

If we could do it all over again, maybe we could get him to pull off a "Don't underestimate a young man's potential, he'll take on the Yunlan Sect" stunt.

After leaving the company building, I walked past two buildings and arrived at the small building in Cheongdam-dong 111.

The third floor houses Fanxing Entertainment, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fanxing Culture Media.

Responsible for coordinating business such as "Farm" in South Korea, as well as cultivating, packaging, and launching idol groups and related businesses.

This will be his focus of work for the foreseeable future.

Today is Sunday.

Together with the three public holidays during the Spring Festival and Saturday, a total of five days belong to this Spring Festival holiday.

The company was completely empty; there wasn't a single person inside.

Enter the office and open your work email.

An email from a domestic company popped up.

Han Shuo's eyes lit up with surprise.

Look what this is?

The last piece of the Farmage operator's map has finally been completed.

A moment later, he typed a reply:

"We will cooperate with Tencent using the second fixed-ratio revenue sharing method, and grant them full authority to act as our distributor."

"In terms of allocation and accounting methods, a revenue-sharing model is adopted."

"If the profit is distributed according to the profit, the calculation is too complicated and it is easy to cause disputes and controversies later on."

"Regarding the revenue sharing ratio, we'd rather forgo copyright fees in exchange for a higher share. A 50/50 split would be ideal, 40/60 would be acceptable, and 30/70 is the bottom line."
