On the second day of the Mama Asian Music Ceremony, Xiao Lang and Mr. Xu Zhiwei, Vice President of Global Asia Pacific, met in a small, very ordinary conference room in JYP.
Although the two parties had some specific contacts before this, Xu Zhiwei was still not sure about this. Because in the previous contact, JYP claimed that the decision was in Xiao Lang's hands, and Xiao Lang had never expressed interest in the specific matters at all. In fact, Xu Zhiwei sometimes did not understand, because S·M's Girls' Generation and JYP's own WG are also artists under Global, and their performances in the United States are usually operated by Global.
So this is not the first time in the Korean entertainment industry! However, this time, the atmosphere with Xiao Lang was so weird that he was confused. First, the public opinion in the whole South Korea was hopeful that Xiao Lang could always be in Korea, and on the other hand, he hoped that he could achieve results on behalf of Korean pop artists in the world. Moreover, people seemed to take this choice very seriously. Then, the attitude of jyp, which was completely determined by the artist, Xu Zhiwei did not believe it. As the vice president of the Asia-Pacific region, he knew very well the current situation in the Korean entertainment industry. Singers could not have any say. Many singers did not even have the power to choose songs. They sang whatever the company arranged!
It was surprising that singers like Xiao Lang and Nichkhun could be produced in a mechanized training model!
The third one is Xiao Lang's own idea. Michael's support made him reach the top almost in one step. At this time, if he had a little bit of enterprising spirit, he would not be so indifferent. Xu Zhiwei's understanding is not only about the world, but also about Warner and Emi. It seems that this genius singer is not considering how to use a higher platform to make those sudden popularity and pseudo-fans truly become his loyal fans.
This is especially troublesome!
A singer has only three requirements: one is reputation, and is known and loved by more people. The second is money. If you make a lot of money, no one will refuse it. The third is the pursuit of music. Some people want to go to a bigger stage because of the third reason, but just want to tell more people about their singing and performance!
What Xiao Lang shows seems to be not among the three.
According to the information he collected, when Xiao Lang arrived in the United States, he had more than one million US dollars, and even made some partial investments in the following time and benefited a lot. In other words, he was not short of money! His indifference to reputation is also famous in the Korean entertainment industry. When he had extremely high popularity, his attitude towards fans and even artists in the circle remained unchanged at all! Then, it seemed that everything was pointing to the last reason.
Because of the music!
However, before Xiao Lang came to Korea, he didn't even know that he was good at singing, and he never showed his passionate pursuit of music in anything.
Before Xiao Lang came, Xu Zhiwei had been in this conference room of JYP, and his eyebrows were aching.
He didn't know why Xiao Lang had to choose here! According to all the signs, their conversation should be with JYP on their backs.
"Hello!" Xiao Lang pushed the door and saw Xu Zhiwei standing up at first sight.
Xu Zhiwei's confusion just now went away. With his big names gathered, he could certainly have enough majesty when dealing with artists. "Mr. Lance, I'm glad to see you."
"I'm also honored," Xiao Lang asked Xu Zhiwei to sit down and turn his head slightly, "Speak Chinese? English?"
The first reaction between the two people was in English, but Xu Zhiwei seemed to be Chinese. Although his English must be good, Xiao Lang still asked.
"Ah, Lance is very proficient in Chinese, I know!" Xu Zhiwei still uses English. He is from Hong Kong and his Mandarin is not as good as Xiao Lang.
Xiao Lang raised his eyebrows slightly. The vice president of Asia Pacific seemed to be telling him that he had a deep understanding of himself.
"Ah, the New York Times made me that short biography, which really surprised me!" Xiao Lang smiled, without any special expression, but the meaning was very clear, and the whole world knew those things.
The two of them had a small confrontation. Of course, there was nothing else about it. During the first exchange, and there might be some agreements in interest between them. This situation was normal!
"It's like this. Mr. Lance's musical talent shocked us very much. So the company hopes to have enough in-depth cooperation with you!" Xu Zhiwei looked at Xiao Lang, "Mr. Park Zhenrong said that you can decide your future, including contracts in any place in the world!"
Seeing the inquiry in Xu Zhiwei's eyes, Xiao Lang nodded slightly, "Yes, I can return to my freedom at any time, if I want!"
Xu Zhiwei's eyes were full of surprise. It was obvious that Xiao Lang confirmed so quickly that he did not expect.
"You don't have to doubt it," Xiao Lang shrugged his shoulders. I respect the major shareholder of jyp and take good care of my elders. Therefore, I can terminate the contract of jyp at any time.
Xu Zhiwei nodded suddenly, but suddenly said "Oh", as if he had figured out something.
"That's why Mr. Lance is not keen on signing global record companies. It seems that it's because of this?" Xu Zhiwei felt that he should have found the fundamental reason. Xiao Lang has almost absolute freedom in JYP. Once he signs with Universal or Sony Music, there is probably no such environment.
He didn't know what Nichkhun said, and naturally he couldn't guess Xiao Lang's real thoughts.
However, Xiao Lang obviously had no intention of explaining to him, and blinked without objection, "A person who wants to make his own music needs freedom! What do you think?"
"Is this your condition?" Xu Zhiwei asked with a smile.
Xiao Lang opened his eyes wide and shook his head, "Or, it's just a request!"
Xu Zhiwei laughed. The headquarters meant that Xiao Lang must be signed. Even if he could not sign a global contract immediately, he would at least reach an agreement outside of South Korea. Therefore, if Xiao Lang had firm enough demands, some conditions within tolerance.
Xu Zhiwei has no position to retreat.
However, this does not mean that he is just a voice-driven person, and he can influence many things, such as the world's bottom line, which is in his mind!
"Have you been to Hong Kong?" Xu Zhiwei took a sip of water and suddenly asked, "I know you have been to many places, because of your medical skills, have you been to Hong Kong?"
