Chapter 1040: Tiffany Does Not Renew the Contract
Wine was served, and there were also edamame beans for the three people as a small appetizer to go with the wine. Cut the Dasai into 2 and 3 pieces, and the fruity aroma lingered in the mouth. Today, even Taeyeon had a porcelain wine cup in front of her. What Tiffany said earlier surprised Taeyeon. Originally, Taeyeon had always thought that Tiffany would not leave the company, but today she made the final decision... not to renew the contract!
After ten years of "Girls' Generation", this is considered a complete separation. Jessica has begun to move towards her own sideline route, which is considered a fashion business circle. She may occasionally appear on TV in the future. However, she is not signed to any agency, this is Jessica's original words. Sooyoung, the youngest member, has also confirmed that she will transfer to a film and television agency after the contract expires.
After all, S.M is very powerful in the music industry, but its connections in film and television are slightly worse. It may also be because there are no top actors in the company? Although S.M produced some TV dramas by itself in the early years, and asked the company's idols to star in them, the income is still far less than that of professional actors. In addition, the script selection itself is problematic. Moreover, the tastes of modern audiences are becoming more and more picky. The era of using idols to stimulate ratings has long passed in Korea.
However, the era of traffic has just begun in China. At present, the traffic in China is getting more and more jubilant, and even tens of millions of film remuneration are offered at the beginning? However, after a few years of being washed by traffic, any traffic will eventually return to its essence, that is, the story itself! Good scripts and good actors, only in this way can a good drama be made and loved.
There can be some "flowers" as a foil in TV dramas, but "drama" needs people who take the lead to play, so that the audience will stay in front of the TV or be willing to pay to watch it. Of course, this takes time to transition. At this time, the Chinese entertainment market has just tasted the sweetness brought by traffic. This is an era where "quality" is not as good as "traffic".
South Korea is different. They have long passed the era of traffic. As for Japan, they have been influenced by more powerful "film and television works". Moreover, there have always been beauties in their "film and television industry", and they have new people every year. And they are just like all actors, they also play different roles in different works.
.......
When Taeyeon heard Tiffany say that she was going to leave, the two began to drink. Because Taeyeon would not persuade Tiffany to stay in the current company, after all, Tiffany might have her own plans for the future career, or Zhang Pingan has an arrangement?
After Taeyeon raised her glass and drank another glass with Tiffany, she turned her head and looked at Zhang Pingan: "Is Tiffany going to transfer to your company?"
Before Zhang Pingan had time to answer, Tiffany next to him immediately said: "He thinks I'm troublesome, so he doesn't plan to sign me. Taeyeon, you didn't expect Zhang Pingan to be such a person, did you?"
Zhang Pingan listened to Tiffany's complaint, and he immediately defended: "How can I think you're troublesome? Don't say anything nonsense, this is simply slandering my personality."
If she didn't defend herself, wouldn't it make Taeyeon feel that she was a heartless person? Of course, Taeyeon knew that Tiffany's words to Zhang Pingan were highly exaggerated. Taeyeon just smiled gently at the two of them, and Tiffany said what Zhang Pingan said to her in the afternoon like a machine gun. Taeyeon was scratching her head when she heard it.
Because Zhang Pingan's ability in songwriting is really good, but he rarely writes songs, perhaps just like the words he has been saying for a long time, he finds it troublesome. So far, only she and Li Zhien have received songs from Zhang Pingan, and he never asks about the artists under his company because it's troublesome.
He has always said, "What they will develop into in the future is their business.
The company just needs to do its best. 'From the outside, Zhang Pingan's money-making projects have never been on artists. Because whether their company invests in film and television or in variety shows, these are the main sources of income for the company. As for the artists under his company, it would be better if they can make money. If they can't make money, it doesn't matter, just like he said to Fang Shihe at the beginning.
However, Zhang Pingan knew very well in his heart that according to their development trajectory, it would be strange if they didn't make money. He just supported them when they didn't make money, and he never blamed them for not making money. So they will all remember Zhang Pingan's kindness in their hearts, at least when renewing their contracts in the future, they will first consider staying in the company. On the one hand, there is kindness, and on the other hand, there is Zhang Pingan's attitude towards them.
While Tiffany accused Zhang Pingan of his "sins", the dishes they ordered were served one after another. The three of them ate and chatted.
Zhang Pingan said at this time: "Every solo singer has a very good grasp of lyrics. And the creators who can write good lyrical songs on the market are either contracted songwriters of other companies, or have already founded their own companies. Even if they are free creators, most of them have some very close singers. And if Taeyeon stays in the company, I don't think Lee Soo-man can buy Taeyeon a good lyrical song. So, in the future, Taeyeon's album needs lyrical songs, and I can still make them here. As for fast-paced dance music, Yu Young-jin's ability is very good."
Tiffany continued Zhang Pingan's words and said: "It means that you still have to take care of Taeyeon in the future, so I can't take care of it here? What about Lee Ji-eun?"
Zhang Pingan responded with a smile: "Ji Eun? Her creative ability is very good now. She can already satisfy herself with her own creation and production. This time, I didn't provide her with a single song for her album. Didn't her album come out today? My name is not on the list of creators, right? It has achieved great results anyway."
Taeyeon is just a little bit behind in creation... It can be said that Taeyeon is a very pure and powerful singer. But she is not a creator, so if she wants to release an album, she must receive good songs outside. She stayed in the company and wanted to release an album, and the only way was to "wait", wait for good songs!
Although Yu Yongzhen is a very powerful songwriter, he has always been mainly creating group songs. So Yu Yongzhen is really not as good as JYP in terms of "lyrics"!
When Zhang Pingan talked about Li Zhien's album released today, Taeyeon said: "Li Zhien's album this time has completely dominated the charts."
The so-called "completely dominated the charts" here refers to all the songs in Li Zhien's album. If there are ten songs in total, then the top ten songs in all the music download charts in South Korea are all songs from Li Zhien's album. Taeyeon's first regular album released not long ago did not "completely dominate the charts", but some good songs dominated the charts.
Among solo singers, the only Korean singer who can completely dominate the charts is Lee Ji-eun!! Although Taeyeon's sales performance is also very impressive among solo singers, it is slightly different from Lee Ji-eun.
Now fans have begun to describe "Taeyeon and Lee Ji-eun" as the two top solo singers in the Korean music industry. The results are there, and there is no way to question it. The two of them also have their own characteristics in singing, and it is really hard to say who is better and who is worse.
When listening to Lee Ji-eun completely dominating the charts, Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "Isn't this normal? She has always achieved high scores as long as she releases music sources. In fact, Lee Ji-eun was quite confused for a while..."
Zhang Pingan also told Taeyeon and Tiffany about the bottleneck that Lee Ji-eun encountered. On the other hand, Taeyeon will not have such a bottleneck, because she has tried various styles of music modes in Girls' Generation, so Taeyeon has no bottleneck in style. If I have to say, Taeyeon's biggest bottleneck is that she can't create.
Taeyeon smiled and said: "Everyone will experience their own bottleneck period, right? And I don't know when my bottleneck will appear?"
Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "It's okay, don't you still have me? Actually... if you ask me, sometimes you can let go of work. Really, I think you should also learn from 'Senior Lee Hyo-ri'."
Taeyeon smiled and said: "By the way, haven't you been in contact with Senior Lee Hyo-ri more recently? What do you think of her?"
Zhang Pingan smiled and responded: "In my eyes, Lee Hyo-ri is actually a very simple person. Her so-called 'strength' is all pretended in front of the camera. In fact, she is very timid. Just like Tiffany's good friend, Jessie. On the surface, she is extremely strong... and she is quite a girl in her heart."
Speaking of 'Jessie', Tiffany nodded with emotion: "Yes, Jessie's strength in front of the camera is Pretending, he is a very gentle person in private. "
Taeyeon turned to look at Tiffany: "What about you? If you don't renew your contract and Zhang Ping'an doesn't want to sign you, what are your plans? Have you contacted other companies?"
Tiffany shrugged in an American way and said: "No, let's talk about it after the tenth anniversary. After the news that I will not renew my contract is reported, I believe there will be companies that come to me. Zhang Ping'an suggested that I sign with an American agency because the management of companies there is more free than in Korea."
Taeyeon picked up a piece of her pork chop, dipped it in the sauce, and put it on Zhang Ping'an's plate. Then she said to Tiffany: "In fact, we are now...even if we sign with a Korean agency, we are still very free."
Tiffany smiled and said: "Unless there is no signing fee, any company wants to make back the money from the signing fee from us. On the other hand, the United States may not give too much signing fee, but it will not interfere too much with our work."
Taeyeon turned to look at Zhang Ping'an and said: "Oppa, what about your Chinese agency?"
