Chapter 17 Entertainment Circle

"Junning, did you misunderstand something?" Liu Zaishi looked at Luo Junning with some embarrassment, his original thoughts disappeared, and the rest was just a headache.

Luo Junning shook his head and said: "I know, in Brother Shi. Xiaolinuna's current popularity, even if it pays a higher price to let her join Unlimited Production, it is worthwhile for Unlimited Production. I misunderstood how much benefit she wanted to get from it. After all, I also know Xiaolinuna's personality, but the Xiaolinuna I know is very proud. It is true that she would say such words as if asking for help. made me curious."

Is Lee Hyori's previous words a hint?

No, in Luo Junning's view, it was more like asking for help, but with Li Xiaoli's pride, the pride of being an invincible national goblin, how could he ask for help, even if it was just a deeply hidden one.

Liu Zaishi's expression was very good-looking, and he said helplessly after a long while: "Recently, Xiaoli has encountered some troubles, but she didn't tell me the details, and I don't know much. Speaking of it, it's because of the contract. Now Hyori’s net worth is so high, although the company treats her very well, but because Hyori will bring more benefits, her agency has always treated her very well, but this year Hyori’s contract is coming soon It's over, but she doesn't intend to renew her contract, so during this period of time, her schedule has become very heavy, and she has almost no time to rest every day."

Luo Junning nodded, this is quite normal.

If he were the head of Lee Hyori's agency, he would use the same method to squeeze out the last value of a popular artist who is unwilling to renew her contract with his company. Could it be that when he called Lee Hyori recently? It happened when she was working, so it was like this, but is this the reason why Lee Hyori said that before?

Looking at the lights outside the car window, Luo Junning fell silent.

If this is the case, and Lee Hyo-ri intends to continue Unlimited Productions, then Luo Junning will not refuse, it's just... Is Unlimited Productions able to afford Lee Hyori's management contract now?

The next day, Luo Junning found Cui Hancheng and Yin Eunhui, and discussed with them about Li Xiaoli.

"If there is no liquidated damages, there is no problem for the company to bear Li Xiaoli's brokerage contract. In the past two years, Jun Ning, you have made a lot of money. The advertising fee alone has earned a lot. Yilai signed Lee Hyori, and he can also advertise for the company, which is very good." Choi Hancheng waved his hands proudly, and was full of fantasies about the future with Lee Hyori joining.

Unlike Luo Junning who devoted himself wholeheartedly to the program production, Cui Hancheng wanted to turn Unlimited Production into a comprehensive entertainment company. If the company had no resources and cJ's development direction had already been determined, then he would very likely want to go to In the direction of the TV station,

But now, it's good to have one popular artist after another join the company.

Yin Eunhui looked up the information very seriously, and in his hand was the analysis information just sent by the company's planning department, "Without liquidated damages, colleagues in the company think that Lee Hyori's worth is about 700 million won per year. The resources you can enjoy... Jun Ning, you have to allocate this, otherwise I have no objection, and the other three sisters may have some minor opinions."

Yin Enhui is now able to devote herself to the position of head of the artist department, and she is also doing a good job. In the case of occasional commercials, she is also working more as the head of the artist department of Unlimited Production.

"I see." Luo Junning nodded.

In fact, Unlimited Production currently does not have many resources for artists. Apart from a few popular variety shows owned by the company that can be used for publicity, Luo Junning's own TV drama scripts that do not have a high output cannot give the company's artists too many opportunities. , but in terms of connections, this has a lot of advantages, and the most available resource for infinite production is investment.

In this society, money is not everything, but it can do many things, especially in the entertainment industry.

However, when Luo Junning confirmed that he would win Lee Hyori's management contract and consulted with Lee Hyori's current management company, Lee Jaemin, who specially asked for this contact opportunity, told him in a funny way: Lee Hyori's management contract will not end until the middle of the year , if you want it now, pay a liquidated damages of five billion won first.

Immediately, Luo Junning was embarrassed.

Unlimited production is rich, but it seems a bit too exaggerated to spend an extra five billion won just to shorten the time of a few months.

After hesitating for a while, Luo Junning still asked Li Zaimin about Li Xiaoli.

"Let's put it this way, the company does have some conflicts with this national goblin, but don't worry, the company doesn't dare to do excessive things to Lee Hyori. Although there are gray areas in the entertainment industry, it's just for those who haven't reached a certain level of popularity. For an artist like Lee Hyo-ri who has received national attention, if we really dare to do something bad to her, and she 'accidentally' leaked something on the show, then we will not be punished by the national goblins. Fans dismantled it?" Li Zaimin held the phone in one hand, but pulled out a document about Lee Hyori in the other, went to the shredder and destroyed the document, and then continued: "You should understand, the past six months , we always need to earn a little more money, don't we? Don't worry, it will just make her tired, nothing else. Of course, if you are willing to pay liquidated damages now, I'm still happy to give you her contract, after all, Our friendship is there, isn't it?"

friendship?

Luo Junning pouted and said, "Forget it, I won't break the rules of the game, that's all."

After hanging up the phone, Li Zaimin played with the phone amusedly.

Since taking over the entertainment work arranged for him by his family, Li Zaimin has also become a lot calmer, or more sophisticated, he will no longer play the "games" he used to do by himself, and for the present Luo Junning, who was still in the honeymoon period, was able to calm down and deal with it, so he quickly made another call: "Cancel the part of Li Xiaoli's itinerary, and follow the normal procedure."

Not long after Lee Jae-min’s phone call here, Lee Hyori’s manager got the news, very excitedly said to Lee Hyori who had just finished filming the cf and looked tired: “Hyori, good news!”

"What good news? Isn't the company going to make things difficult for me?" Li Xiaoli said mockingly. Last night, she almost asked Luo Junning for help, but in fact, what she said was similar to asking for help. During this period of time, in order to deal with She was so exhausted, if it wasn't for her current popularity, maybe... But even so, she didn't think she could last long.

The time for the contract to expire is getting closer and closer, it would be weird to let her go so easily with Netet behind her back, but compared to those troublesome things, Lee Hyori would rather die of exhaustion from running the schedule every day.

"It's so smart, it's that young master Li. Now it's over, no one will force us anymore." The manager sister said happily.

Li Xiaoli was stunned, suddenly thinking of what happened last night, a soft smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but this smile made the manager sister on the side stunned, she had seen many smiles of Li Xiaoli, domineering, charming, Haughty and disdainful, but this is the first time I have seen this gentle smile, "Xiaoli, you..."

"It's okay, I'm very happy." Li Xiaoli waved his hand, walked aside on his own, picked up his mobile phone to call Luo Junning, hung up immediately, and then sent a text message.

On the other side, Luo Junning, who was about to answer the phone, found that the phone was disconnected. Before he could call back, he received a text message from Li Xiaoli. The content of the text message was very simple, only two words: Thank you.

Although a little unclear, Luo Junning also replied that you are welcome.

After thinking about it, Luo Junning felt that it was Li Xiaoli who knew about the other party's contract, and the five billion liquidated damages... In the end, Luo Junning still called Li Xiaoli and told him about the communication with Li Zaimin today.

"You don't need to spend so much money, Nuna, I am living a good life now. I have nothing else to do except to be tired. That's it. When my contract expires, you prepare a suitable brokerage contract for me. When the time comes I just signed it."

Well, this sister is still so direct.

Now that Li Xiaoli has said it, then Luo Junning will not waste that money. What's more, during this period of time, she has received so many schedules and advertisements for Li Xiaoli. Apart from making Li Xiaoli work harder, she also has a good income. You know The brokerage contract of National Fairy is not much worse than the contract that Unlimited Productions gave to Yin Enhui and others.

Putting Lee Hyori's affairs aside, Luo Junning turned her attention back to "We Got Married".

The guests of two men and two women have been confirmed, but how to match them has not been confirmed. Luo Junning originally wanted to draw lots, but considering that Huangfu Huizhen is already an artist of his own company, it must be given a little chance, so let ss5o1's Kim Hyun Joong and Hwangbo Hye Jung together, and let Shin Ae and a1ex together to form two couples, as for the shooting time.

Huangfu Huizhen said that as an artist of Unlimited Production, her current itinerary is also decided by Unlimited Production. Due to the popularity of Shin Ae and a1ex, it is also very convenient to adjust the schedule. As for Kim Hyun Joong, ss5o1 seems to have quite a lot of schedule recently. , It is estimated that there is not much time before the Spring Festival, and after confirming with ss5o1's agency dsp, it is indeed the case, so let's shoot the first meeting part of Shen Ai and a1ex first.
