Chapter 1233

"Shen Huizhen..."

Chanting the name over and over again, song Jifan took out his mobile phone and found the phone of WM entertainment representative Li Yuanmin in the address book with thousands of people's phones.

Recently, there are rumors in the circle that this company and woollim are preparing to launch a new women's group. Because both companies launch women's groups for the first time, it has attracted the attention of some small media.

In fact, there is no need to say hello. If Li Yuanmin knows that one of the trainees in his company is the vice president of CJEM and the representative of Mnet department, he will be included in the debut group even if his strength is not good.

Small companies such as WM entertainment are not enough to see in the eyes of CJEM.

"Why don't you plug it? Yuan min...... "

WM Entertainment Office, 3rd floor, fangbeidong building, ruicao District, Seoul.

Among the surrounding buildings, the building of WM entertainment company is just an insignificant sign. Passers-by will not stop and take out mobile phones to shoot because it is a brokerage company that has trained idols.

People living nearby or passing by have long seen such places.

However, the reason is that WM entertainment is not well-known, so that at this time, there are only two or three squatting fans nearby, holding seemingly low-grade AIDS in their hands.

"How is the construction of the company's new building?"

At the moment, in the president's office at the end of the third floor, President Li Yuanmin bowed his head and signed some daily documents. He looked up at the Secretary in front of him and asked.

"It's time to finish the work. Now you can move in only after the formaldehyde smell inside is purified."

"Hmm ~ but we still have to keep an eye on it. This is the first new building our company has bought in so many years. It is very important to move to this place next year."

Signing his name at the end of the document, Li Yuanmin took a deep breath.

This year, WM entertainment bought a new independent building on the world cup road in wangyuandong, Mapu District, and plans to move here next year. The time for relocation is getting closer and closer. Now I'm really excited.

"Good president, I will carry it out."

"Well ~ ~ you go out first."

After dismissing the Secretary, Li Yuanmin leaned back in his office chair and closed his eyes.

Since the establishment of WM entertainment in 2008 and the launch of its first men's group b1a4 in 2011, it has taken three years of efforts

All levels of the company regard the new building as a new starting point for the company. Although it can not compare with the three major societies in terms of efficiency every year, it can be regarded as having its own satisfactory answer among small and medium-sized companies.

Of course, the reason why WM can be replaced with a new building is that last year, b1a4 won the first place in MBC's music center with what's going on.

For small companies like them, this feeling is no less than that the only athlete in a country won the gold medal of the Olympic Games.

Since then, the second album "whoamI" released by b1a4 this year has won eight and one in four singing programs such as popular songs.

It was at that time that Li Yuanmin and other senior executives of WM decided to buy new land to build WM entertainment building and no longer live in the old third floor.

As president, Li Yuanmin himself not only personally participated in the design of the company building, but also wrote on the wall of the new company that "the original stones have their own different characteristics and personality. This is the place where they exist to find them and make them into gemstones".

Highlight their awareness of exploring talents, talents and becoming stars.

In Li Yuanmin's eyes, the philosophy of WM entertainment is to treat idols as ordinary people rather than commodities.

And positioning the brokerage company itself as a protective cover, trust each other through continuous communication, and timely give idol support and refueling.

However, on the surface, WM entertainment has risen in many small and medium-sized planning agencies in Seoul, but in fact, only he knows the internal crisis.

In fact, a year ago, there were many senior executives in the company who wanted to give up this combination because b1a4 could not get one and stand out in the men's League.

In the eyes of some people, the three-year golden period for newcomers, if there is no breakthrough in popularity and influence during this period, the group is basically in the end.

But after all, b1a4 is the first group in the company. These people were all interns who followed Li Yuanmin all the way before their debut. Even if they were businessmen, they were a little emotional.

Fortunately, this combination was quite successful. Under the protection of his two-tier identity of president and largest shareholder, b1a4 successfully won one of the major programs and once became a good story of "counter attack" in the circle.

However, now, as before, the success of idol groups in the music chart program does not prove that the combination has taken off, nor does it mean that they can make a lot of money and rest easy from now on.

Compared with most men's groups in the same period, b1a4's style is more lyrical, which is the style of lyric + dance.

This is not the type that the mainstream groups in the current market like. Those young women prefer the strong knife group dance of exo, beast and infinite.

Only the gold absorption capacity of b1a4 is far from meeting the funding gap of WM entertainment.

When some shareholders began to suggest Li Yuanmin to find foreign aid and sell some shares to alleviate the financial tension of the company through capital injection, Li Yuanmin refused.

Perhaps I don't think that WM has to be acquired by other companies at present. Therefore, with the gradual start of b1a4 and the stimulation to the company's employees one after another, Li Yuanmin decided to prepare for the launch of the company's first women's group.

After more than a year of selection, ohmygirl is the name of WM's new women's group. Just hearing this name, you can imagine the style of this women's group.

"Old man, although your company was acquired by S.. M, it just made you more money. Fundamentally, your woollim still hasn't changed. It's still poor inside. Now I want to see whether your lovelyz is strong or my ohmygirl is strong."

Lovelyz, this is woollim's upcoming portfolio. The debut time of the portfolio and the list of members were sent to Li Yuanmin's desk.

In November, Li Yuanmin seemed to feel that it would be tomorrow in the twinkling of an eye. Li Yuanmin looked at the date and smiled silently.

It seems that his old friend is more worried than he thought.

Most large companies will not choose to let their new groups debut at the end of the year. The grand occasion in the entertainment industry during this period is no less than the idol collective return war in summer.

Probably from the end of October or early November, many predecessors in the circle or idol groups that failed to return in the second half of the year will choose to return one after another.

Others may be busy attending the song awards at the end of the year and awards ceremonies like mama.

The public's attention is basically focused on the performance awards, ballads and variety awards of the three major TV stations. The major variety shows are busy launching year-end specials to grab ratings.

In such a busy period, who will pay attention to the new women's group launched by a small and medium-sized company.

Even if the quality of lovelyz's debut song is qualified, it can only be accompanied by the elders, because it is impossible to hit the sound source fog one day when returning.

However, both woollim and WM seem to regard the new group as a competition. The number of groups launched by both sides was finally set at eight.
