I slept until dawn.

That's right, it's broad daylight! It's like twelve o'clock at noon.

Lin Yimao deliberately put on a formal suit. Today he was going to attend a formal meeting with the company's senior management, so naturally he couldn't dress too casually.

It was already around one o'clock in the afternoon when Mo Mo misi came to the company, and Lin Yimao went directly to the director's office.

There is no way, who knows that he is familiar with Li Xiuman, basically all the more important things about him are discussed here.

"Dong dong dong."

Lin Yimao knocked on the door politely.

Soon, the door was opened.

It was Lee Soo Man who opened the door.

After seeing that the person coming was Lin Yimao, Li Xiuman was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "You're just in time, we are having a meeting, you can come in and listen."

With that said, he walked in first.

It was said to be a meeting, but in reality it was just him and Kim Young-min, two famous and powerful figures in the company.

At least in the perception of outsiders, these two are the only two controllers of S.M Company.

"Sit down." Li Xiuman pointed to the sofa beside him.

Lin Yimao greeted the two of them and sat down.

"No, I'm not thirsty."

Before Li Xiuman could make any move, Lin Yemao struck first.

"Haha." Li Xiuman smiled and sat back in his seat.

Kim Young-min's expression was not very good.

These two people control the company, and the situation is harmonious. In fact, due to different management concepts, the relationship is not as harmonious as it appears.

"Just in time, Yimao Xi is here too. We can listen to his thoughts first." Li Xiuman still respects Lin Yimao's opinion.

The trade-off between cash cow and gold mine is obvious.

"Please tell me." Lin Yimao was curious as to what the two of them were talking about.

"Our meeting is mainly because of you."

"This time a more important person came from Europe and the United States. Did you know?"

Lin Yimao shook his head. Isn't this nonsense? Why don't you stay here and play dumb with him?

"Mr. James, the director in charge of Asia region of Universal Music Group."

"Global?" Lin Yimao was surprised.

This is an incredible behemoth!

In this way, the Disney contract that Lee Soo Man gave him before was actually the record company of Disney Pictures - Walt Disney (Disney Records), and this record company has a very in-depth cooperation with Universal Records, basically

Eighty percent of Walt Disney’s records are distributed by Universal Music Group.

Universal Music, known as one of the four major record companies in the world, also operates artist management and other entertainment projects.

Speaking of artist managers, many of the superstars under this behemoth are world-renowned, including the world's three tenors, Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras.dy, gaga, and the unstoppable rising star of the music industry, Taylor Swift.

, and even signed Chinese superstars such as Jacky Cheung, Eason Chan, and Lin Yilian in the Chinese music scene.

It can be said that the gap between S.M Entertainment and Universal Music is not of the same order of magnitude at all.

If Universal Music wants to sign a certain singer from S.M Company, S.M Company will be very happy. This means that they can officially contact Europe and the United States.

"They want to sign me?" Lin Yimao didn't mince words, and at the same time, this sentence showed his confidence.

Li Xiuman nodded: "To be precise, I signed an agency contract with Europe and the United States."

"This is a good thing." Lin Yimao said, this way he and the company don't have to worry about the operation and sale of albums in Europe and the United States.

As a carrier of music, records can be vinyl or tapes. As a derivative of records, albums have many restrictions. For example, a regular album must contain at least ten songs, and a mini-album must contain at least five to eight songs. Records do not.

These restrictions. However, S.M and Lin Yimao have not released albums for a long time because they do not have enough operation and sales channels.

Your song is a hit, and has even spread all over the world. It still ranks at the top of Billboard's download and playback list, and no one can shake it. But what you need to know is that the Billboard Top 100 calculates not only your download and playback count, but also your

The sales volume of albums is also included in this calculation.

After all, Lin Yimao is currently very partial to subjects, with perfect scores in math and English, but failed in Chinese.

Signing with Universal Music can perfectly solve this problem.

"Your contract with S.M only has three years left, and Universal wants to sign it with you. It is conservatively estimated to be ten years..."

Jin Yingmin said in a serious tone that this kind of matter should not be discussed with Lin Yimao, but the mountain is too high for them. They must be afraid of this mountain and also rely on it.

Lin Yimao is not a fool either.

After all, S.M is still too small. A three-year contract and liquidated damages are just a drop in the bucket for Universal Music.

It would be okay if Universal Music didn't sign him, and they would still have to negotiate three years later, but once they sign him, even a carbon-based creature would know what to choose.

"Actually... I think s.m is pretty good... Haha." Lin Yimao didn't believe it when he said this.

"In the end, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages." After hearing Lin Yimao's words, Li Xiuman understood what he was thinking.

"That's it." Jin Yingmin also nodded.

At least in the past three years, I can rely on Lin Yimao to make a big fuss.

Backed by Universal Music, it is probably not difficult to beat JYP and YG...

"Mr. James is arriving soon. You can do whatever you want during the meeting later," Li Xiuman said.

"Hmm..." Lin Yimao nodded.

…………

Two hours later.

"Then it's signed. A press conference for the signing of Lin Ye-mao and Universal Music will be officially held in three days." Kim Young-min, as the president of s.m, said while sitting in the chair of the meeting.

The audience burst into applause.

Lin Yimao is still an artist of S.M. He has been signed by Universal Music to represent him in Europe and the United States, and has established a preliminary cooperation. So, can the next cooperation be far away?

Of course, this is also the wishful thinking of these company directors.

After the meeting, James found Lin Yimao.

"Hi, Lin."

"Hello, Mr. James." Lin Yimao greeted politely.

James is a fat, middle-aged white man with kind-looking facial features. He has a bald head and two eyebrow-like beards under his nose.

"My family and I love your songs very much. I mean, every song of yours is great!" James said with a smile on his face and held Lin Yimao's hand affectionately.

"It's an honor, Mr. James." Lin Yimao responded with a smile.

"I have a request."

"As you say, Mr. James."

"When the record is released, you can write on your first signature record, happy birthday to dear Claire. Oh, by the way, Claire is my fifteen-year-old daughter, and she has two months left to celebrate her birthday." James said this.

As he spoke, his face was full of endearment.

"Of course it's no problem, I think your daughter must be very cute." Lin Yimao said, this is just a trivial thing.

"And one more thing."

As he spoke, the secretary behind James took out a document entirely in English and handed it to Lin Yimao.

"I think, given Lin's level of English, you don't need a translator at all."

"certainly."

Lin Yimao took the document and read it briefly.

"South Africa World Cup Theme Song Collection"

"this……"

Lin Yimao looked at James in surprise.

James patted Lin Yimao's shoulder: "Yes, this is a pretty good opportunity, Lin, come on!"

After speaking, he looked at the Patek Philippe in his hand: "It's a pity that I still have some work in China, so I can't have dinner with Lin."

"It doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Lin Yimao held the document and nodded numbly.

"Then, see you in three days!"

"goodbye……"

…………

After James left with his secretary, Li Xiuman came over and asked, "What did Mr. James give you?"

"A fucking thing."

Lee Soo Man:......
