083 [Strong Broker]
Shanghai, dream of course company.
Ye Cheng pushed the door and the girl at the front desk smiled sweetly at him and greeted him: "Hello, Brother Ye!"
"Hello." Ye Cheng nodded and smiled.
Of course, although the company has just been established, it is already quite large. The general manager Ke Liang is unwilling to do decorations, and he has tried his best to do many things and has done it himself. He has established a certain prestige in the company and has also won the recognition of the shareholders behind it.
"It's early Ye Zi."
"Brother Jin."
"Xiao Ye, are you handsome again after not seeing each other for a few days?"
"Sister Zhong, you are getting younger and younger."
“…”
As a popular fan of the company, Ye Cheng walked all the way, and familiar employees greeted him. Ye Cheng had never been to the company several times, but as long as he had dealt with, he basically had some impression. Although he could not remember the full name, he still remembered what the other party's surname was. Adding a brother or sister to the surname can make the other party feel respected.
After Ye Cheng left, the employees started to talk behind their backs.
"Ye Cheng has a very good character and doesn't pretend at all."
"That's right, unlike Lin Yucong who jumped over from Mengxiang Qiangyin, he is not very famous and has a big air."
"Ye Cheng's album seems to be selling well this time."
"It's so popular on the Internet, so it's unreasonable for people to put it there, but it's unreasonable if it's not popular."
"It's a pity that singers are not easy to make money, and they can't make a lot of money."
"The company will definitely plan his transformation, and he can definitely act in idol dramas in this way."
“…”
Ye Cheng didn't know that he had such a good reputation in the company, so he was just kind to others. He walked outside the general manager's room within a few steps, and he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"
"Please come in!"
Ye Cheng pushed the door and entered. In addition to Ke Liang, there were Dai Yunyun and another middle-aged man.
When Ke Liang saw Ye Cheng coming in, he stood up with a smile and said, "Xiao Ye, let me introduce you to you. This is your new agent Yang Weishuo."
"Hello, Brother Yang!" Ye Cheng stepped forward and shook hands with Yang Weishuo, and took the opportunity to look at the person carefully.
Yang Weishuo has a tall figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a tough face. He is a very charming middle-aged uncle. The only disadvantage in appearance is that his slightly raised beer belly, and even when he is handsome, he has never escaped the "historical law" of gaining weight in middle age.
Yang Weishuo smiled and shook hands with Ye Cheng and said, "Hello."
This guy also smiles very interesting, and is particularly lethal to the kind of girl who is not well-versed in the world. I don’t know how many women have harmed.
Ke Liang had previously revealed some information to Ye Cheng that the queen Chen Huiwen was brought to the industry by Yang Weishuo. The three of them were very good friends. This time, Ke Liang was not easy to poach Yang Weishuo to a new company, which is his direct team in the company.
"Xiao Ye, you can check the sales results of the record first." Ke Liang handed a form to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng took it and saw that it read: 1492 physical stores, 5607 gold-powered photos, 1263 Yuesuan.com, 928 Dingdang.com, and 255 Yamason... The total sales in the first week were 9724, and 176 electronic records were sold.
"So many!" Ye Cheng was shocked. Most of these sales came from Gold Toao.com, among which Ye Cheng's own online store sold more than 2,000 copies, and his fans were still very powerful. Especially those rich people who watched his live broadcast, they bought them in 10 or 8 copies and gave them away, contributing a lot of sales.
With nearly 10,000 records sales per week, it is undoubtedly the best-selling champion this year!
This does not mean that Ye Cheng is more popular than those first-tier brands. Most fans buy the records back, not for listening to them, but for personal collections.
Since it is a collectible, it must be sophisticated and attentive, so that it can have collection value. Ye Cheng's "Chasing Dreams and Child Heart" just meets the collection standards. Most of the songs in it are of high quality and the packaging design is also very exquisite. Especially for Ye Cheng's personal online store, each of which has his own signature, which is even more collection value.
Ke Liang was obviously very satisfied with the sales of the record and said happily: "The sales will definitely decline next week, but there is still a chance to exceed 30,000. I discussed with Lao Yang and decided to plan three signing parties for you, held in Beijing, Shanghai, and Chengdu respectively, and strive to sell 50,000 copies of the record!"
"This will cost a lot of money, right?" Ye Cheng was afraid that the income from signing records was not enough to hold an event.
"I spent all the money, and I still care about the money? We..." Ke Liang said halfway through his words, and suddenly his cell phone rang. After making a call, he said, "I have something to go out, and Lao Yang will talk to you about the rest."
Several people had to leave the general manager's room. Dai Yunyun followed Ye Cheng intimately and said in an admiring tone: "Brother Ye Zi, you are so awesome! How did you write that song "Blue and White Porcelain"?"
Ye Cheng had no choice but to say: "With inspiration, I wrote it out naturally."
Seeing that the two were very close, Yang Weishuo couldn't help but think: If Ye Cheng didn't have a girlfriend, he and Dai Yunyun could have a relationship.
Well, this is Yang Weishuo’s professional thinking, using all available resources to maintain the exposure and topicality of his artists.
The three of them came to a small conference room. Yang Weishuo said: "Everyone has known each other just now, so I will not introduce myself. I have been in the industry for 18 years and have brought out some big-name stars. I hope that our future cooperation will be pleasant. What special events do you encounter in the future, such as love, breakup, scandal disputes... and so on, whether it is positive or negative, you must communicate with me first. I will do my best to help you deal with it. Never solve it privately without hiding it from me!"
Very strong, this is Ye Cheng’s new impression of Yang Weishuo.
Yang Weishuo continued: "Let's talk about it first. The old news about your relationship with a rich young man in your sophomore year has been exposed on the Internet. There are a lot of negative news about you, and I will help you with it as soon as possible. Your public image is a sweet and cute talented woman. You must be cautious in making friends in the future and do not act beyond the rules that destroy your image..."
Yang Weishuo said a lot, and Dai Yunyun only dared to lower her head and listen honestly. The powerful aura she exuded made her dare not speak.
After saying that Dai Yunyun, Yang Weishuo instructed Ye Cheng again: "Xiao Ye, your public image is very good, and you are both healthy and positive, and it is very suitable for taking the high-end route of cooperation with the official. I contacted my friends from Yunnan and they agreed to invite you to be the tourism image ambassador. Can you write a tourism promotional song?"
"Ah?" Ye Cheng didn't expect that Yang Weishuo would take such a order for him on the first day of meeting. He had to nod and say, "I'll give it a try."
Yang Weishuo said: "From the current general environment of the entertainment industry, being a singer cannot become a big star. So in the next six months, I will start your transformation and develop in the direction of variety shows and TV stars for the time being. The relevant abilities must be improved. I have already signed up for the auditoral courses in the Shanghai Opera Performance Class. If you have time, you will learn and exercise your acting skills."
Ye Cheng couldn't help but interrupt him and said, "Brother Yang, I usually live in the capital, so it's inconvenient to attend classes here."
"Then move to Shanghai!" Yang Weishuo said without doubt.
Ye Cheng couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. This agent is too strong and he won't discuss with you when making a decision.
However, Yang Weishuo's next words increased Ye Cheng's sense of identity with him a lot. He only heard him say: "Ye Cheng, you are a singer-songwriter now and are praised as an explorer of new Chinese music. You must take the high-end route. I will promote all the commercial performances that are not high-end, and there should not be too many advertisements, which is not good for your long-term development."
The income of the agent is linked to the artists under his command. The more Ye Cheng earns in commercial performances and advertisements, the higher the income of Yang Weishuo. Now Yang Weishuo takes the initiative to reduce Ye Cheng's commercial performances, which shows that he is really considering Ye Cheng's long-term and not just trying to make quick money with quick profits.
"By the way, I will help you contact Shark TV," said Yang Weishuo. "You can do online live broadcasts at most three times a month, and each time cannot exceed three hours."
Ye Cheng had different opinions on this: "Brother Yang, I think you need to be credited. Since you have signed a long-term contract with Shark TV, it is best not to violate the contract. Moreover, live broadcasting is also a down-to-earth manifestation, which can narrow the distance between you and your fans."
"That's why I promised you to do live broadcasts three times a month. They signed you for more than 2 million yuan in annual salary, which is already a big advantage," Yang Weishuo waved his right hand and said with a final say, "This matter is decided!"
Ye Cheng and Dai Yunyun looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They had such an agent, but they didn't know whether it was a good or a bad thing.
