Chapter 276 Day 272 of Being the Boss
To be honest, if this plan is actually implemented, they can actually make a lot of money. They pay a not-so-small "donation" for their debut, and when the show's revenue comes in, the "donation" will be fully returned. At the same time, they can also get a share of the profits from cutting fans' leeks through program voting and "limited group" activities.
Of course, the lion's share will definitely go to M-net, but other companies will also get a lot. I heard that YG and SM did not participate. Apart from JYP, FYH is the richest and has the best resources. The program production team certainly hopes that FYH can get the lion's share.
Moreover, among these trainees, FYH's trainees are definitely more capable than many trainees from small companies. Even if the votes are faked, it will not look very obvious. On the contrary, it will make the results of the show look more real.
Perhaps because they really have the backing of a big tree, M-net was quite straightforward when facing these companies, and made it clear that the shots in the program and debut quotas will definitely be fake. As for which company's trainees can show up more often and not make their efforts in vain, and bring profits to the company, it depends on the amount of this "donation".
If it was just Xu Yisong, she would have refused without a second thought. But from the company's perspective, there was no reason for the company to refuse money-making, even if the money didn't look clean. The real reason why the people at FYH hesitated was whether the risk behind this matter was enough for them to get involved.
Xu Yisong was reluctant to sully FYH with this not-so-clean "donation", but if all the companies gave money and only FYH did not pay, then FYH would become the target of public criticism. Xu Yisong also did not want FYH to be the first one to stand out and not fit in.
Finally, Xu Yisong changed his method and paid the money in the form of investment. This investment would not account for a large proportion of the project, so FYH would not have any say in it, and if something went wrong, it would not be FYH's fault.
At the same time, the amount of money cannot be too small, at least it should be commensurate with the positioning they give to FYH, so as not to cause dissatisfaction from M-net and other companies.
Since she had given the money, she naturally wanted to participate in the show. Although Xu Yisong gave the money, she did not force the so-called internal debut position, and she knew that it would be another price, in a more obscure way of transaction.
Xu Yisong just pretended that she didn't know about this. After all, she had never attended any of those "parties" for transactions, so it was normal for her not to know.
Finally, FYH decided to select a few trainees to show their faces. They couldn’t waste the money they had paid. Whether they could debut or not was not important. Regardless of the strength of their trainees or the “donation” they had paid before, it was impossible for FYH’s trainees to rank too low.
Just give the company face.
Although this project is really profitable, Xu Yisong does not want to lose FYH because of this small amount of money and let others find fault with the company.
In name, this is just a talent show, but from the very beginning, they put the three major agencies out, which shows that this is just a means for CJ to expand its share in the entertainment industry. If this show is successful, then their next step will be to start acquiring entertainment companies to expand their influence and market share.
FYH is developing too well, like a fresh piece of cake, and I don't know how many people are eyeing it. The more this is the case, the more Xu Yisong can't lay mines for FYH himself, nor can he let others use these little tricks to dig holes for him.
Don’t underestimate these images. They seem to be in a gray area and you won’t be caught as long as you are careful.
But these unspoken rules only apply to large companies with deep roots, and FYH has only been in Korea for less than two years, so he has to be careful with every step.
If these seemingly inadvertent little details are not handled properly, they may suddenly pop up and hit her in the future.
As for the trainees participating in the program, Xu Yisong directly picked the three best ones from this month's assessment - Jeon So Yeon, Seo Hye Jin, and Jeon Ji Woo.
There is no need to talk about Jeon So-yeon and Seo Hye-jin, after all, their FYH only recruited two batches of trainees, and there are only so many people in total. Jeon Ji-woo was originally a trainee of DSP. There are not many trainees left in the entire DSP, and Jeon Ji-woo is considered to be relatively talented and capable.
After deciding on the candidates, Xu Yisong directly handed the matter over to the person in charge of the trainees. When the program starts recording, he can just notify a few people to participate.
The next most important thing for the company is the year-end theater.
The first performance of the theater at the end of the year is scheduled for mid-November, which is still two weeks away.
Year-end Theater is a series of performance group projects launched by FYH, which is expected to be based on a stage play each year. If the stage play is good, the script will be adapted into a short play or movie for promotion and broadcast.
This year is the beginning of an experimental period, and currently there is only a stage play, the title of which is "Awakening from a Dream".
Although the story is inspired by the famous Chinese Kunqu opera "The Peony Pavilion" and includes some Kunqu opera excerpts, the genre and core of the whole story is actually a modern fantasy story with a non-realistic theme and horror elements.
The main storyline is very simple. In fact, a group of people from different industries and ages received a strange letter for different reasons. The letter contained an invitation, inviting everyone to go to an ancient garden to participate in an adventure game. Winning the game will receive an extremely generous reward.
The style of the first part of "Awakening from a Dream" is mainly based on "The Peony Pavilion". The format of the story is actually a bit like an immersive script-killing game, and the format of the series also has a feeling of infinite flow adventure.
There are five main actors in total. In addition to Kim Tae-ri, Jang Jin-yi, Shin Min-won from Xu Yi-song's own company and Lee Ji-eun who she met before in "Infinite Challenge", there is also the male lead Ji Sung who Xu Yi-song met before in the crew of "Kill Me, Heal Me".
In addition, all the supporting roles in the stage play are played by trainees from the FYH actor department. Xu Yisong will also play the role of the ghost boss "Du Liniang" in the stage play this time.
This role requires a solid foundation in Kunqu opera. She originally planned to invite a real Kunqu opera actor to play the role, but it was difficult to find a Kunqu opera actor in Korea. If she went to China to invite one, her repertoire would be too long, and the role did not have many scenes. After searching for a long time, she couldn't find a suitable one, so Xu Yisong had to play the role herself.
She has never studied Kunqu Opera, but she often listened to it when she was a child and has a foundation in Pingtan. After some special training, it would be easier for her to learn a convincing performance than for local Korean actors.
After the script was finalized, Xu Yisong started to go back to China to attend classes every once in a while. This was also one of the reasons why Xu Yisong had worked overtime to the point of collapse.
After all, overtime work is already despairing enough. During that period, she not only had to work overtime, but also had to attend classes while working overtime, and she had homework.
Xu Yisong became so tired and thin during those months.
Fortunately, the results of her busy life were not bad. She achieved good results in her work and she also learned Kunqu Opera quite well. At least it looked like it was real.

First thing: Today's update may only update one chapter in the morning, and the remaining two chapters will be updated as much as possible depending on the situation. The reason is related to the second thing I want to talk about.
My mood has been unstable recently, and even more so today (for the specific reason, please go to Weibo: the moon should be purple, with a lamb head). Because of this incident, I was really sad. I couldn't calm down when I was typing, and I couldn't stop crying.
I can’t write well in this state, and even if I do write something, the content will be messy, so I want to take some time to adjust myself.
Then the second thing is: after reading the content on Weibo, please follow my account if you are willing. It will take me about half a year to finish writing this article, but I will definitely change the place for the next one. During this period, everything I have accumulated in this place (because I can't be too straightforward, I will be blocked) will basically be gone, and I will have to start all over again when I change the platform.
If you are interested, you can follow me. Even if I change my username, you will still be able to find me. If you are interested, I hope you can continue to support my new book.
Finally, thank you all again for your support.
Don’t worry, I will definitely finish this one.”
