Chapter Five Hundred and Ninetieth Four Dog Days Band Comeback(1/2)
Luo family, in the study room.
Luo Tiannan, who was dressed in home clothes, leaned on the sofa, looked at his son who looked very sad in front of him, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "You are already in your early thirties. It's time to think about starting a family and starting a career. Sisi
His personality, appearance and academic qualifications are all good..."
Luo Dibei sneered: "Dad, I said long ago, don't use me as a tool for marriage. I promise you that I will definitely get married within three years, but I have to find the marriage partner myself."
Luo Tiannan looked calm, blew the tea, and said quietly: "When we made the bet, I made it very clear to you that there is no 100% win in bets, and you have to be mentally prepared to bear the consequences of failure.
...Are you willing to sit in the position of deputy director of the marketing department for five or ten years?"
Luo Dibei didn't answer, so the answer was naturally no.
Luo Tiannan continued: "If you marry Sisi, you will get the support of her father, which will be of great benefit to the company and you. Only in this way can I convince the shareholders of the company to arrange you to the position of assistant to the general manager.
.”
The assistant to the general manager has the same level as the department director, but is above the department director and is regarded as a step between senior executives and core executives.
Generally speaking, department directors who want to be promoted to vice president must go through the transition and test of this position.
For this position, Luo Dibei naturally longed for it, or had longed for it for a long time. This meant that he finally jumped out of the department and officially entered the succession process.
But it is really difficult for him to agree to the marriage... Until now, he has not given up the idea of having both power and beauty. In other words, with his background and excellence, he cannot truly accept the reality of failure.
Keenly catching the entanglement in his son's eyes, Luo Tiannan narrowed his eyes deeply and said in a deep tone: "If you insist on refusing, I won't force you. You can submit your resignation letter yourself and leave Gunxue."
"Dad, why are you forcing me like this?" Luo Dibei's face changed with shock. Where could he go after leaving Gunxue? With his status as the prince of Gunxue, could he work for another record company?
Luo Tiannan said: "This time, in order to resolve the previous grudges with Hua Can, Kong Yanyin went to apologize to Shu Zhen, Su Yaqing went to apologize to Ning Lan, and Wei Haonan went to Dong Fei to promise in person that he would not pester her again in the future.
You all know it."
Luo Dibei nodded.
Luo Tiannan added: "After that, Ge Guangyao will entrust his younger brother Ge Rongguang, and Ge Rongguang will find Qiao Li to convey my intention to reconcile with each other, and give up three places in the Beijing gala in three quarters as compensation. Before that, there were still
One thing, and the most important thing, must come to an end."
Having said this, he pointed his finger at his son: "Your marriage must be decided as soon as possible, and an engagement banquet will be held in the near future. You must send an invitation to Hua Can."
Luo Dibei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood, and then his expression became extremely complicated.
No wonder his father suddenly arranged his own marriage. This was the most important step in bowing his head to Hua Can and reconciling him.
Kong Yanyin, Su Yaqing, Wei Haonan, all those who have had a grudge against someone under Hua Can's banner only need to apologize and seek forgiveness from the other party. Only he must show sincerity through actions.
That's right. In the final analysis, the grudge between him and Li Huan only involves one woman, and can only be solved by one party giving up completely.
And giving up completely is not just words, but actions. Engagement is the best proof of action.
"Li Fan and He Jingyun are about to get engaged. This news has spread in the circle, and the two parties involved have chosen to acquiesce. It seems that there is no lie. This woman is destined to have no fate with you."
Luo Tiannan stood up, reached out and patted his son on the shoulder: "Should you marry Sisi and take the position of assistant to the general manager, or hand in your resignation report and leave the company, give me an answer tomorrow morning..."
Watching his father's back slowly walking away, Luo Dibei fell into absolute silence. After a while, a strong hint of self-deprecation escaped from the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but shake his head silently.
...
Tuesday.
Li Fan received calls from Su Ting, Xue Bing, and Ning Lan.
Su Ting talked about Kong Yanyin, Xue Bing was entrusted by Xiaopang to talk about Wei Haonan, and Ning Lan talked about Su Yaqing.
Wednesday, morning.
There is news in the industry that the son of General Manager Gunxue is about to get engaged. The engagement partner is the daughter of one of the top six international giants and the partner of Bandai Entertainment Asia Pacific.
In the afternoon, Ge Guangqi went to Qiao Li's office and talked behind closed doors for nearly an hour.
After Ge Guangqi left, Qiao Li found Li Fan and conveyed Gunxue's intention of reconciliation.
Needless to say, Li Fan was really planning to target Gunxue severely. In the exchange transfer between Kong Yanyin and Shu Zhen, Gunxue had already taken advantage of him. However, it was after Shu Zhengong announced that he was the one who jumped the most fiercely. Among the rising singers who openly suppressed Shu Zhen, 30% were under Gunxue, not counting the fact that Shu Zhen posted a piece, Xin Danyuan and Kong Yanyin formed a pincer attack, and their intention to target them was obvious.
At that time, Hua Can was still weak and had the courage to fight when faced with bullying. Now in terms of the size of the company and the quality and quantity of its singers, Hua Can deserves to be number one in the industry. Is there any reason for not fighting back despite being deliberately targeted?
What's more, due to the bet, there was already grudge between Hua Can and Gunxue.
Unexpectedly, Gunxue actually bowed his head, and he was very thorough, cutting off all personal grudges, and even offered three festivals and three Beijing gala spots as compensation. If this was more aggressive, it would be unreasonable.
After all, in the previous confrontations, Hua Can was the winner. To put it bluntly, the fight was all about the company's interests, and at most it was a bit of a fight of emotions.
It was not a deep grudge. Even the only unsolvable grudge between him and Mr. Luo was resolved with Mr. Luo's engagement.
After some persuasion from Qiao Li, Li Fan reluctantly nodded. As long as Gunxue didn't take the initiative to provoke him in the future, Hua Can wouldn't deliberately stumble. Everyone should follow the rules and do whatever they want.
On Saturday night, Li Fan completed the Baodao stop, the final stop of his tour!
This round has a total of 6 shows in 6 places, with a total of more than 227,000 tickets. Every venue is sold out, and the box office exceeds 98%. It has refreshed the previous record of 6 shows in a single round held by the Kaisou Band, and will attract more than 200,000 tickets. Record.
At the same time, it also set a record for the average box office of a single tour.
Sunday, early morning.
Li Fan and his party headed back home, and it was only around eleven o'clock when the passenger plane landed at Shenzhen Airport.
After leaving the airport, Li Fan did not go back to the company with everyone, but took a taxi alone and headed to Hua Can Records.
Small conference room.
Li Kai, Su Ting, Shen Guanchang and Ni Houdao sat around a round table.
"Xiaohan, the island country, the Indian country, the new country, the Thai country, the Philippines, and the Malay country have currently signed temporary agency distribution agreements with a second-tier record company in this country. Together with the domestic ones, it is equivalent to 8 in Asia. The film distribution channels and publicity resources in China have been completed, and the remaining countries of Vietnam, Indonesia, Patan, and Laos should be able to handle them all when Dong Fei comes back next Wednesday."
Shen Guanchang was on a business trip for two weeks, visiting 5 countries, and returned to China yesterday with 5 contracts.
So far, Xiaohan, Japan, Singapore, India, and Malay, the five countries with the largest share of the Asian record market outside of China, all have distribution agents, and they are fully equipped to distribute records in all Asia. qualifications.
Li Fan nodded, with a hint of approval in his eyes. Despite his low academic qualifications, his little cousin was driven and hard-working, and now he could really stand on his own.
Of course, Dong Fei's assistance was indispensable. Su Ting mentioned to him that in the past, Dong Fei was not the person in charge of Snow Records' overseas business, but he was a direct participant, with rich experience and a considerable network of connections.
Another person who deserves a lot of credit is Fatty, who took advantage of the situation and got the beauty back, and even picked up a treasure for the company.
Ni Houdao said: "The recording of Future Girl's album should be completed next week."
Shen Guanchang answered: "The master tapes are sent to the factory, which takes five to seven days to be filled, and another five to seven days to be sent to agents in various countries, who then deliver them to various stores through distributors."
Su Ting thought for a while and said: "The film can be released as early as mid-July."
Li Kai said hello, and then said: "After Future Girl releases her album, it will be Sister Ning's turn for her single."
Su Ting mused: "If you want to publish a film in the international music scene, it must span at least two regions and more than 18 countries. Only in this way can you be qualified to compete for the top 100 list. It is not difficult for 12 to 14 countries in Asia, plus 4 to 6 countries in Europe. But the problem is that the United States accounts for more than one-third of the international record market. In North America, the United States and Canada are the only countries. If we abandon the European region and focus exclusively on Asia and North America, the entire Asia region will have to release the film in 16 countries."
Li Bo slowly shook his head: "Sister Ning's single is not enough to meet the standards of the international music industry. I have great expectations. When I was in the United States, I met a person from an economic company. I gave it to Xicheng Boy , he was the one who pulled the strings for the songs written by Ruth.”
"He came to China last weekend, and I had a chat with him. European and American singers released videos, even newcomers, in no less than 25 countries. Basically, second-tier singers and above released videos in Europe, North America, and third-tier Asia. There will be more than 30 countries, including several countries in South America.”
"For Sister Ning's single, I have a minimum standard of 25 National Film Festival."
"In the United States, I have entrusted him to help me connect, and he has promised to help Xicheng Boy write two songs for his next album. It shouldn't be a big problem. You can find a way to deal with various countries in Europe."
Su Ting and the other two people were secretly stunned. It was the first time for a domestic singer to have her film released in 25 countries and conquer three regions. In the past, there were only three domestic singers on the international music scene who had their film released in more than 20 countries. Among them, Wang Jingfang had the most, 22 country.
For every additional country that publishes a film, the cost will increase by at least 500,000 yuan. Ning Lan's single may not be able to beat the total cost of 12 million yuan.
Li Fan saw their expressions in his eyes and smiled: "Hua Ge will promote He Jingyun to the Asian music scene. According to the contract, he will skip the single and release the album directly. I deliberately encourage Hua Ge to directly promote He Jingyun to the international music scene. , Therefore, Sister Ning’s first single is very important. Only if Sister Ning gets a good result, Huage will have the courage to try it.”
"When the time comes, Sister Ning will release another album and compete in the international music scene with He Jingyun. Once the two of them have established a firm footing, other singers under the group will be able to follow suit."
"I know that the cost of releasing a film in the international music scene is very high and the risks are high. It is precisely in order to share the risks that we must bring Hua Ge along with us."
Su Ting and the other three were suddenly enlightened and nodded silently. They thought it made sense. In the international music world, a record can easily cost tens of millions, so the risks should be shared.
However, Li Fan's next words directly choked them.
"The group's singers focus on the Asian music scene. Just like this time in May and June, they will work one after another. All of them must be released within three months."
The cost of releasing a film in the Asian music scene is much lower than that of the international music circle, but it still starts at 5 million. This time, one singer from each group will release a film, and it is basically expected to achieve triple platinum by default, thus obtaining an Asian music release.
Quota.
In this way, there are six places, and Future Girls will still have an album, starting with an additional RMB 30 million.
I spent 30 million in three months, and the international music scene released two albums, which is about the same amount.
In addition, Ning Lan has a single first and an album later...
Hiss, 50 million, this is to drain Hua Can's book funds.
Li Fan guessed what they were thinking, and said: "The music world is about a wind, just like the Korean Wave. Only when it comes fiercely can it become a trend. Previously, Xiao Han's kings and queens, as well as several A-listers, have already released films. In the short term,
We will not be releasing any more albums within this period. The Asian music scene is currently experiencing a gap period, and it is our opportunity to exert our efforts and strive to create a Chinese style throughout Asia."
"Once Hua Guofeng takes shape, it will be much easier to discuss cooperation or even acquisition with Xiao Han and those entertainment companies in the island country that have the resources to independently publish films in the international music scene. They are looking for agents everywhere, but it is only temporary after all.
This is not a long-term solution, I am also paving the way for Hua Can's singers to break out of Asia and go global."
Su Ting and the other three looked at each other with a somewhat bitter expression. It sounded reasonable, but could they move a little slower, or find someone to share the risk?
Ni Houdao opened his mouth and was about to make a tactful suggestion when Li Fan spat out five words and directly sealed his mouth.
"Time waits for us!"
