Li Xianzhe's gloomy and uncertain expression completely frightened the girls who were eating snacks obediently.

Although they didn't know Li Xianzhe's thoughts, judging from Li Xiuyan's attitude, they knew that what he said next could completely affect their future.

"Leroy is in South Korea now. It is no different from a general agency. Although we can use Starship's help in training trainees, they are not a big company after all, so after much deliberation, I can only find you."

Li Xiuyan spread his hands, and they both sighed.

A strong dragon cannot defeat local snakes. Li Xiuyan also understands the importance of local partners, but Li Xianzhe's situation is not much better than his.

Both companies have little foundation or background. They just have money to put together and launch two girl groups at the same time.

When he thinks about Red Velet and Cosmic Girls debuting one after another, Li Xianzhe feels a twinge of pain in taking care of who comes first.

But Li Xiuyan is his good friend after all, and Lehua and the Empire are like a family, so he can't be too sure of his words.

"This plan of yours, even if it is placed in S..M., will definitely mobilize most of the company's resources. I can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not.

If you are willing to wait, I can ask my father about this matter for you.

After all, when it comes to cultivating large-scale combinations, he dares to be second, and no one dares to be first."

As soon as Lee Soo Man moved out, Lee Hyun Cheol's whole expression changed. Even though he and Lee Soo Man had a bad relationship in the past, he couldn't deny it when it came to the training, packaging, and planning of artists.

"Really? Don't you always have a bad relationship with your father?"

"It has been reconciled, but you misunderstood what I said. I just asked my father to see the feasibility of this WJSN plan."

Glancing at the girls who had already put down their snacks, Lee Hyun-cheol suppressed the smile on his face and continued, "In the eyes of the public, they value the foundation of the company behind the group more than the members.

Just like now, for large planning agencies such as S..M, JYP, and YG, as long as there is news about the launch of new talents, the outside world will pay a lot of attention, and netizens and media will spontaneously join in to help promote it.

There is even a popular saying in this circle that all the newcomers launched by the three major agencies are not popular. (So the weirdo NCT is not popular but not popular)

The reason why I am not optimistic about your company's plan is because the slogan of cross-border cooperation is now used, but there are not many truly successful cooperation cases.

Lehua is not well-known in this country. Even if this plan is feasible, it will not be possible without the support of strong local partners.

And to launch a new group, the publicity expenses spent in the early stage of debut, and the various expenses for the pictorials taken by the members together are between tens of millions of RMB. You can estimate how much it would cost in exchange for this country's exchange rate. The more members the group has, the more it will cost.

The more you spend, the more you spend.

After that, the cost of releasing an album is between RMB 100 million and RMB 500 million. In other words, if you add it all up to the time of debut, RMB 20 to 30 million is considered a normal investment. Whether their debut will be successful is not guaranteed."

At this point, Lee Hyun-cheol took a sip of tea, flipped through WJSN's member information again and again, pointed at the people above and said, "Also, the biggest drawback of this new girl group is that your company is completely patchwork.

Such a girl group configuration was only created under such circumstances.

Some members have been practicing for a long time. For example, Kim Hyunjung has been practicing for more than eight years (ten years when she debuted). Among the senior members of the girl group who have already debuted, only Su from Girls’ Generation

y practice time is less than her.

Also, Qiu Sojing and Son Juyeon’s information states that they have been practicing for three years.

Except for them, some of them have never received complete and systematic trainee training before, and some of them were hired by your company from other companies.

In this comparison, do you know how big the gap is between the eight years of longest practice and the few months of least practice?

For those who have been hired by your company or attracted by your company, each of their previous companies has its own set of trainee training systems. After debuting as trainees and becoming artists, people from different companies have different characteristics.

Some styles and atmospheres are also different.

Comparisons like SM and YG, JYP and FNC are all clear at a glance.

WJSN is a group that is good at everything except these two things, so I suggest you not to let them debut before you have completely washed away the aura of their original company and narrowed the gap in strength between the members."

Li Xiuyan put his chin on his head and pondered, and had to admit that Li Xianzhe was right. After analyzing it carefully, even a layman like him had some clues.

Moreover, Lehua also needs its own girl group. Even if it recruits people from other companies, it still wants to package them into its own people.

Lee Hyun-cheol thought the same way, so he repeatedly emphasized to the trainees brought out from S..M. You are members of Empire Entertainment and are no longer trainees of S..M.

This is a sense of belonging. Although few companies in the entertainment industry truly have this, many companies still work hard to create this feeling for the outside world to see.

Superficial formalism, Easterners are very fond of this.

Li Xiuyan also doesn't want to see that after WJSN debuts, the public will say that this girl group is just a pot of random stew, putting people from several companies together to fool the public.

In that case, not only will Leroy be ridiculed by the outside world, but he himself will feel embarrassed.

"So, what's your solution?"

Li Xianzhe picked up the teapot and stood up, adding "Since we are cooperating, you can trust me, and I can trust you, so I have a solution that is not a solution."

"What is it?"

"As you and I said on the phone before, Leroy and Empire have formed an alliance, just like their companies.

Let them receive training in my company and my trainees in the next time. We are professionals in training trainees.

After all, Lehua is a company of the Chinese nation. They can only copy the trainee system and idol culture, but cannot learn the essence. The essential cultural differences between the two countries can be seen from here. Remember one sentence, the Chinese nation is

There is no idol culture."

Let Lehua’s trainees transfer to Empire Entertainment for training? Li Xiuyan’s proposal to Li Xianzhe was very strange.

As for Leroy forming a strategic partnership with Empire Entertainment, he said there is no problem. The two have worked together before in school and are as close as one family.

However, every agency is very precious to the upcoming artists who are about to debut, and Leroy is the same, even if these people are just patchwork.

"What do you mean, let my trainees train with you? Then go back to debut?"
