NIO Entertainment general manager Peng Haofeng said calmly: "The most popular female singer in the music industry this year is Zong Qingzhen. I'm not raising prices based on the situation, but based on the actual situation. Director Yu, this year's New Year's Eve parties of all major TV stations are competing for stars.
, if you don’t pay a high price, it will be very
It’s hard to invite your favorite singers to help out. If there are no good singers to help out, then the New Year’s Eve party will be much less interesting. This has to do with ratings and online broadcast clicks. These data can help the director of your stage.
Attracting massive advertising endorsements..."
"Mr. Peng, this is our rule at Donghai TV. Every singer or guest who comes to the New Year's Eve party, regardless of their status or popularity, will only be given three million."
Donghai Satellite TV director Yu Shuai said decisively: "Well, since I made this call personally, I won't discuss it with the director team. The fixed price is five million. If you are willing, we will start signing the contract immediately."
It's a contract rehearsal, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work out, benevolence and righteousness remain if the deal doesn't work out."
Peng Haofeng sneered from the bottom of his heart. In the past few days, more than one TV director had personally called, and the quotations were all between three and five million. It was as if everyone had agreed to lower the price for the star of the show. Of course Peng Haofeng would not
Zong Qingzhen will agree to this. Let alone the New Year's Eve party, even for ordinary performances, Zong Qingzhen's average external quotation is more than 8 million.
It's a good thing that for such an important event stage as the New Year's Eve party, only five million was given.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, I can't agree. In fact, there are many similar bidders. If I agree to you, Mr. Yu, it would be unfair to other bidders. Then I will face a very troublesome situation...
…”
Although he is dissatisfied in his heart, Peng Haofeng is still willing to be conciliatory and polite on the surface, and at least he will not make the other party feel disgusted in his heart. After all, he is the TV director of Donghai TV, not another trash, so he must be treated with caution and politeness.
"How many do you want?"
After hearing Peng Haofeng's words, Yu Shuai finally calmed down and did not hang up the phone immediately, but asked in a deep voice.
For just one performance, singing one or two songs, and getting paid tens of millions, it is a bit painful for major TV stations, and may even be unbearable. That is why many TV directors have personally replaced the director team to submit reports to major entertainment companies.
The bosses of the company called to inquire, but the results were the same.
"You are wrong." Ren Yue said seriously and carefully: "You are busy with work, so it is normal for you not to know Ge Qingqi's recent developments, so I will tell you directly. This Ge Qingqi has been invited by the Spring Festival Gala, and
It was director Ao Yan who personally invited him. He did not participate in the audition and directly appointed Ge Qingqi to be a guest performer at the Spring Festival Gala..."
"Ge Qingqi alone is worth 10 million, and Junyu is worth 5 million." Ren Yue said: "The total is 15 million, it can't be lower. Mr. Yu, please give me an answer after you think about it."
What Peng Haofeng didn't know was that after Donghai TV Director Yu Shuai hung up the phone angrily, he immediately made another call: "Hello? Mr. Ren? I'm Lao Yu, Han Sen's New Year's Eve Party Quote
Isn’t it ten million?”
Han Sen only gets 30 million?
It’s a bloody profit!
Yu Shuai's breathing was a little rapid. At this moment, he almost regretted going to his grandma's house. If he had known this earlier, he would have paid more to get Han Sen's notice.
"Ge Qingqi? The singer who sang "Crescent Bay"?" Yu Shuai obviously had some impression of Ge Qingqi and couldn't help but said: "I remember her. She ceased fire last year, but she has no popularity at all this year."
"Even the real king and queen cannot quote 10 million at the New Year's Eve party." Yu Shuai said: "This matter is subject to discussion. I'd better discuss it with the director team and give you an answer."
Yu Shuai was still suspicious: "Why can Ge Qingqi be on the Spring Festival Gala? And he doesn't have to participate in the audition? What is her relationship with Ao Yan?"
"Of course, the most important thing is that the song "Human World" was written and composed by Han Sen himself."
Yu Shuai's voice was a little high, obviously he was a little dissatisfied with Ren Yue's fooling around.
After hearing this, Ren Yue had the urge to hang up the phone. She smiled: "Mr. Yu, you also said that we have been partners for many years. You can't cheat me like this. Although I am the vice president of the company, if someone
I will be scolded to death by those on the board of directors if I find out that I am selling the company's assets at such a low price."
Peng Haofeng didn't have any surprises. He threw away the microphone in his hand and said to the assistant next to him: "Next, no matter who calls, just follow this standard. Without 10 million, I can't let Zong Qingzhen attend the New Year's Eve party.
"
"Okay, then invite Ge Qingqi to come over and sing this song "Human World"!" Yu Shuai said excitedly.
It would normally be almost impossible for a famous director like Ao Yan to change the name of a TV series because of a song, but if Han Sen wrote the lyrics and composed the music himself, then it would be fine.
"Liang Youqi, this old man..." Yu Shuaishuai's breathing felt like he was going to get angry.
After Peng Haofeng was silent for a few seconds, he said slowly: "Director Yu, you are too late. Zong Qingzhen's notice has been taken away by the director team of Xiangnan Satellite TV..."
"Six times..."
And once you agree to one of the parties, the bosses of the other parties are bound to be offended.
Ren Yue shook her head and said: "This is impossible, Mr. Yu, the copyright of the song "Human World" has been locked by the Spring Festival Gala. Before the Spring Festival Gala, this song cannot be exposed in any way. This is the decision made by Director Ao Yan himself.
tone."
When Ren Yue heard this sentence, he naturally quickly understood the twists and turns, so he said with a smile: "Director Yu, you will gain wisdom after eating a little. This shopping mall is comparable to a battlefield, and I heard that
Liang Youqi got a quota of 50 million from Taiwan just to lure Han Sen to the New Year's Eve party. Who knew that Han Sen was very satisfied and agreed with 30 million."
Yu Shuai said in surprise: "Isn't this the back door?"
Yu Shuai's excited and enthusiastic heart was instantly doused by a basin of cold water. He gritted his teeth and said: "Then invite her to sing "Crescent Bay"! And that Junyu group was also packaged and brought to me. Mr. Ren, we have been together for many years
My old friend, please don’t let me go."
Upon hearing Director Yu's inquiry, Peng Haofeng said without any hesitation: "Ten million."
Yu Shuai hung up the phone again. At this moment, his heartbeat was very fast, as if he had run a five-kilometer long-distance run. After dialing Ren Yue's phone while somewhat out of breath, he immediately said: "Mr. Ren, what we talked about earlier,
I answer all
Yes, 15 million. I want to sign both Ge Qingqi and Junyu! However, I have a request. Ge Qingqi must sing at least enough of her three famous songs! "Crescent Bay" and "Millennium Love"
There is another song..."
The cost of a New Year's Eve party is almost between 70 and 80 million. It is normal for major top satellite TV stations to make a net profit of 30 to 50 million for every New Year's Eve party.
"I asked how much money Xiangnan Satellite TV paid to sign Zong Qingzhen."
"Dududu——"
"How much?"
"And I heard that because of Han Sen's notice, Jiangnan TV's sponsorship of this year's New Year's Eve party was more than six times higher than in previous years. If it weren't for the worry that the sponsor's logo would fill the entire stage and arouse the audience's disgust, then this year's New Year's Eve party
Jiangnan TV’s sponsorship fee will be at least ten times more than in previous years! And this is all because of Han Sen’s announcement.”
Ren Yue smiled.
"oh."
Yu Shuai said: "One person is three million, and Junyu Group is a combination, counting one person, so the total is six million."
"This old man..." Yu Shuai seemed a little out of control and kept cursing Liang Youqi on the phone for what he had done.
Ren Yue whispered: "Let me tell you in more detail, do you know about a TV series directed by Ao Yan this year?"
So starting from this year, many satellite TV stations have discovered that if they keep the previous quotations unchanged, almost all the singers they invite will be from the second tier. The singers who are popular this year, such as Zong Qingzhen, Lin Yi, Dong Jinlun or Clover, etc.
Basically they will be declined politely.
"Of course! Can I still hide this?"
Ren Yue lowered her voice as she spoke: "Let me tell you clearly, Guang Guang now has the contracts of the other three members of Jinghong Band. Besides Wu Yu and Zhong Juntao, the one you should pay most attention to is Ge Qingqi."
The call was hung up without any pause.
"What? How long has it been?" Yu Shuai was a little confused.
The competition for this year's New Year's Eve party seems to be more intense than in previous years. All the major TV stations invited are popular singers in the Chinese music scene. Almost every singer is worth a lot of money. If it is like previous years, just give two to three million.
Don't worry, many singers who think highly of themselves and are quite popular will simply not accept this notice in order to preserve their own worth.
Although the directors of satellite TV are all big bosses, in the face of real interests, the bosses of major entertainment companies still cannot afford to lose tens of millions of dollars in profits just to take care of favors.
This trick did work. Seeing that the New Year's Eve party was getting closer and closer, many party directors and satellite TV directors were also anxious, and they began to make phone calls in person, and some of them did increase their original quotation from two to three million.
To four or five million, or even six or seven million.
"Ge Qingqi, can you attend the Spring Festival Gala?" Yu Shuai's tone was full of disbelief, because Ge Qingqi rarely appeared in public this year. The most important thing is that Ge Qingqi did not release a single song this year, and his popularity is even higher than that of Zong Qingzhen.
Far worse.
But now, because of Han Sen's existence, the sponsorship fee has increased by six times, which is at least 600 million!
Ren Yue, Vice President of Yuanzheng and Secretary-General of the Board of Directors, heard Yu Shuai's voice and said helplessly: "Director Yu, you are late. I just heard from internal news that Han Sen's notice for this year's New Year's Eve party was handed over to Jiangnan Satellite TV.
Yes, I heard that Mr. Tan personally helped contact me, and the price was also very high, I heard it was 30 million."
Liang Youqi is the director of Jiangnan Satellite TV.
According to the external quotations of these singers in the past, almost all of them were around 10 million.
Yu Shuai frowned and said, "You tell me a price."
Ren Yue smiled and said: "The name of "Ups and Downs" has been changed to "The World", and "The World" is the theme song of this TV series, and the singer who sang the theme song is Ge Qingqi."
"Dududu——"
Yu Shuai nodded and said: "Last year, Ao Yan filmed a film called "Forensic Medicine of the Song Dynasty", which performed very well. This year, he filmed another film, "The Ups and Downs". Although it has not yet started airing, I can also understand from industry trends that it will
It is another high-quality hit work comparable to "Forensic Medicine of the Song Dynasty"."
Peng Haofeng was also holding back his anger. After all, he spent tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of resources to train a singer, and then you guys used such a small amount of money to fool me?
"Okay." Ren Yue nodded in agreement without any surprise.
"Yes, these are the three songs!"
"It doesn't matter."
Yu Shuai is already stunned. Every year, most of the New Year's Eve party sponsorship fees collected by the top satellite TV stations are between one and two billion, and the maximum does not exceed three hundred million.
After Yu Shuai hung up the phone, he hurriedly called Peng Haofeng from Weilai Entertainment: "Mr. Peng, Zong Qingzhen's notification fee of 10 million is too high. After thinking about it, I still can't do it. In this way, I can't do it anymore."
What do you think about adding three million or eight million to you?"
Ren Yue paused and then said: "It's just about the price..."
As soon as this sentence came out, Yu Shuai immediately raised his heart to the song "Human World" by many levels. After all, Han Sen's works are almost all hits.
The two words Hansen represent all guarantees.
"TV series? "Floating"? I know, it's scheduled to be a hit next year."
Therefore, it is imperative to increase prices.
"What?"
At this time, Ren Yue said again: "Mr. Yu, what happened has happened and it can't be undone, but you can still consider other signed singers under our Guangguang Group..."
"Okay." The assistant agreed quickly.
Not only did they lose real profits, but they also offended several other big bosses. They could lose money no matter what they thought. Therefore, many entertainment company bosses, including Peng Haofeng, decided to follow the real quotation, and the higher bidder would win.
"Ten million? This is too high! Zong Qingzhen's quotation is only 10 million!"
But there is not one that exceeds 10 million.
Peng Haofeng said: "Twelve million."
"But it's true. The announcement of the New Year's Eve party has been arranged on Hunan Satellite TV."
"'Our Love'!" Ren Yue immediately added.
"There is no way, this is the bottom line." Ren Yue said helplessly: "Ge Qingqi and the others have a very good relationship with Han Sen. They are not close friends of life and death, but they are almost there. With Han Sen's help, they will have great potential for growth in the future.
, it is impossible to become another king and queen."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yu. The brokerage contracts of these three people are all with Enlight, and their schedule announcements and arrangements are all decided by Enlight."
Ren Yue shook her head and said: "It's not a back door, it's a manifestation of strength, because after hearing the song "Human World", Ao Yan decided to let Ge Qingqi appear on the Spring Festival Gala to sing this song. Ao Yan once said that this
It’s a song that will move anyone who hears it.”
"What? Thirty million!" Yu Shuai was shocked and blurted out: "That old man Liang Youqi has agreed not to raise the price, how can he give him thirty million!"
"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it for you."
Ren Yue beamed with joy. She didn't expect that there would actually be someone who was willing to sign Ge Qingqi, Zhong Juntao, and Wu Yu. She immediately called Tan Gaohan and asked Tan Gaohan to help arrange the announcement.
Tan Gaohan was a little surprised.
Although he has also received announcements and invitations from many satellite TVs about Ge Qingqi and the others, the quotations are generally between three and five million. For example, Donghai Satellite TV directly quoted fifteen million, which is really unheard of.
