The time soon passed twelve o'clock in the evening.
November is officially here!
In a private room of a barbecue restaurant, Wang Hao, Zhang Yixin, his agent, assistant, driver, and security guard, a total of six people, were seated in order.
The table was full, and there were three cases of beer piled in the corner, and he looked like he was not going to get drunk.
"Brother Hao, have you uploaded your new song?"
As soon as twelve o'clock passed, Zhang Yixin picked up his phone to confirm.
His new song has already debuted at No. 4 on the Hot Songs Chart.
Looking further up, "Exchange the Rest of Life" is in the first position, overwhelming the king and queen.
Wang Hao's response came belatedly: "It should have been posted. Take a look."
"Okay, I don't need to ask anymore."
After giving a wry smile, he picked up the wine glass again and drank it all in one gulp.
Although he is not bad in popularity, he never thought that he could defeat the King and Queen, who are the real top people in the music industry!
But Wang Hao did it.
He is clearly showing signs of becoming the new top star in the music industry.
Just waiting for the show "I Am a Singer" to end, if he can win ten consecutive victories, then a new king will be officially born!
…
Here, the two of them were having a good time drinking.
In Guangying Media, the entire music department is like an eggplant beaten by frost, every one of them has wilted.
They put in so much effort and still lost?
This completely unequal harvest was simply unacceptable to everyone, so much so that some people had already questioned Zhong Taiji in their hearts.
Could it be that Zhong Tianwang's singing is really that bad?
"One million! Only one million missing!"
Zhu Jianchen clenched his fist and waved it, with a look of reluctance on his face.
If you could give him another million, wouldn't it be a sure win? What on earth are these fans doing?
But at this moment, the voice of music director Zhou Xun suddenly came to my ears: "To be precise, it should be five million votes, because we have almost received four million votes."
"..."
There is no need to say such shocking words, right?
Zhu Jianchen glanced sideways at Zhou Xun and subconsciously opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
If you lose, you lose. It’s useless to say anything now!
"Ahem!"
Zhou Xun cleared his throat, glanced at the lost Zhong Taiji, and said solemnly: "Since the facts have become a conclusion, it is useless for us to say anything now. We can only try to eliminate the impact of this incident."
"it's useless……"
Fu Yongxin, who was looking at the hot search list, smiled bitterly and shook his head, indicating to everyone to look at the hot search list on Weibo.
At this time, the number one spot on the hot search list has suddenly become:
【The new king of love songs——Wang Hao!】
In the comment area, Wang Hao’s fans were extremely excited:
"Zhong Taiji, out!"
"The foundation has been laid for the road to becoming a god. This title of King of Love Songs in the music industry will definitely belong to me, Brother Hao."
"No, no, no! We need to make it clear upstairs, our Brother Hao is not just singing love songs, this is just one of his abilities."
"Almighty King!?"
"I like this word, haha, Brother Hao is so mouth-watering,"
"Holy shit! Where was that guy in the live broadcast just now? Brother Hao has already won, now it's your turn to perform a handstand and fly, right? Where's the other guy? Get out of here!"
"What the hell? The account you are looking for has been logged out? What a dog!"
"..."
After briefly reading the reviews, the faces of several people in the conference room became increasingly ugly.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xundao said: "Now it seems that I can only respond with 'sophistry'."
sophistry???
This word makes everyone confused.
What kind of sophistry?
"The difference in votes is only one million, which means that the two songs are actually indistinguishable. The reason why there is a gap is entirely due to differences in the subsequent charting process."
"If it were just a simple singing competition instead of a ranking competition, could King Zhong still lose?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Jianchen suddenly stood up and said: "Absolutely not!"
Fu Yongxin on the side couldn't help but smacked his lips and looked at Zhou Xun as if he were looking at a monster!
He was particularly curious about how long the head of the music director of Light and Shadow was.
Good guy!
Wouldn’t netizens just explode because of such sophistry?
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Zhou Xun added: "Now that the matter is over, don't worry about whether the public opinion is true or not. As long as we can maintain the popularity, even a single victory will be enough to prove the strength of King Zhong Tian."
"This kid is a pure freak and cannot be saved by common sense. Letting Zhong Taiji fight with him this time is really not a good choice."
Hearing this, Zhu Jianchen on the side couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face.
This decision was made by him, and the situation that has resulted in this situation has nothing to do with him.
If he had known that this would be the case, he would definitely not have sent Chung Tae-ki to start an album battle with Wang Hao, let alone participate in "I Am a Singer".
This is simply putting the stepping stone under the other party's feet, and then wagging his tail and saying:
"You step on it, step on it as much as you can, and I will definitely lie down obediently and perform the double act for you."
Fortunately, he is Xu Baoshan's confidant and an old employee who has followed the light and shadow and risen from humble beginnings. Otherwise, the company's shareholders would almost doubt whether he is Wang Hao's biological son.
Good guy, you are pushing Wang Hao to the top again and again!
…
Just when everyone had different thoughts, a new voice sounded in the conference room: "I'm afraid all the subsequent songs will have to be overturned."
"Um?!"
Everyone turned their heads subconsciously, staring directly at the lyricist Zhou Xianqi sitting in the corner.
At this time, the originally high-spirited little old man actually showed a bit of fatigue on his face.
Obviously, this failure was a big blow to him!
Is Chung Tae-ki's failure not his failure? What's more, this song was the one he originally decided to use in the finals.
The final song failed, so how could other songs have the chance to win?
Zhu Jianchen frowned and his voice was slightly hoarse: "You mean, all subsequent songs have to be rewritten? Re-arranged? Re-practice?"
Zhou Xianqi nodded heavily: "Yes! This must be done! Otherwise there is no hope of winning at all!"
hiss!!!
For a moment, there was a gasp of cold air in the conference room.
The production cost of a song is too high. Lyrics, music, arrangement, recording, mixing, and mastering... all require a lot of manpower and material resources.
There are only a few singers in the industry who can draw money from the system like Wang Hao.
Now Zhou Xianqi suddenly said that he wanted to overturn all the songs he had prepared before and redo them. This cannot be done simply by talking.
Zhou Xun's expression changed, and he couldn't help but confirm again: "Is it necessary?"
"It has to be this way!"
Zhou Xianqi explained: "The song "Yuan" is already the strongest song in this album, but this song is the strongest and lost. Can any of you guarantee whether that guy will create better songs in the future?
"
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale.
Only ghosts can guarantee that!
Who knows if that freak will come up with something else?
To be honest, Zhou Xianqi also made a lot of mental preparations for making this suggestion.
As a top songwriter in the music industry, it takes a lot of courage for him to admit that he is "not good".
After living for most of your life, you actually lost to a newcomer who had only become popular for less than half a year?
Where can I go to reason with this?
"call……"
After heaving a sigh of relief, Zhou Xianqi continued: "Contact Liu Ye, put an end to his collecting behavior, and ask him to come back to work as soon as possible."
"I will write the lyrics and he will compose the music. I don't believe that this guy is really invincible!"
Liu Ye???
Hearing this name, many people in the conference room frowned even more.
A person lives up to his name.
Although this guy is the treasure of the Light and Shadow Composition Department, he has a very wild temperament. He hangs out almost all year round, and he is nicknamed "Cai Feng".
Even Zhu Jianchen can't do anything to him. After all, this man is not only the veteran of the company, but also recognized as the top music master in the music industry!
Such characters are all king-level existences. No matter which company they go to, they must be "offered" to the great masters.
Ask him to come out.
In this situation, will he come back?
Suddenly, Zhou Xun seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously: "Leave this matter to me, I will contact him."
…
…
The meal lasted until three o'clock in the morning.
After returning home, Wang Hao looked at his schedule for the next day. After confirming that tomorrow would be another relaxing and leisurely day, he immediately turned off the alarm clock and fell asleep.
It's been a long night, and it's already nine o'clock in the morning.
After washing and tidying up, Wang Hao took a car to the company and began to deal with the piling up contracts that required his signature.
However, before he had time to read the contents of the first contract, there was a sudden knock on the door of the office.
"Enter!"
Crunch…
The door opened, and Zhou Xiaoyu, wearing an off-white fragrant suit, walked in.
And behind her was Hu Wen, the director of the film and television department of Haohuan Media!
This former employee of Huihuang Media and the deputy director of the film and television department was also poached by Zhou Xiaoyu.
Speaking of which, I have to mention the extremely tragic Brilliant Media.
As a front-line media company, the internal backbone was almost wiped out by Zhou Xiaoyu, but there was nothing Wei Yueyang could do.
During the initial recruitment, except for those company executives and core employees who signed non-compete agreements, everyone else applied normally and competed for jobs.
Now that the middle managers of the company are leaving, he has no good way to stop them. After all, most of these people leave their jobs normally, and he can't stop them at all.
Whenever he showed any signs of hesitation or carding, the labor bureau would call him in the afternoon...
Helpless, Wei Yueyang could only continue to suffer the consequences of being dumb while thinking about how to deal with Zhou Xiaoyu.
But damn, this is impossible to deal with!
He wanted to block the entire network, but how could he block this thing? How could he do something that even light and shadow couldn't do?
Last time, I pushed the company’s Iron Lung King Chen Han to the top. I originally wanted to compete for the first place, but I didn’t expect that there would be a cruel round of games...
Because of this incident, I don’t know how many people on the Internet are laughing at Brilliant Media for not overestimating its capabilities, so much so that these days Wei Yueyang doesn’t dare to let his celebrity artists hit the hot search list.
The ridicule was really harsh and made his legs tremble with shame.
…
Back to business.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoyu and Hu Wen walking in, Wang Hao put down the contract in his hand and looked at the two with curiosity.
"Is there a problem?"
Zhou Xiaoyu glanced at him helplessly: "October is over, and I have given you a summary of the month. Can you listen to it?"
Monthly summary?
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, and his face turned slightly red: "Ahem, okay, let's talk, I'll listen..."
Okay, he almost forgot.
"The Disciple" was released on October 1st, and today happens to be November 1st, so it happens to be the release time.
a month...
I don’t know how much box office this movie got with the help of the China Propaganda Department?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Hu Wen pushing up the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose, opening the folder in his hand and starting to talk.
""The Disciple" was released for thirty days this time, with a total box office of 5.15 billion, deducting 3.3/% business tax, 5/% special film fund, 7/% theater funds, 50/
% of the cinema’s funds and 3/% of the China Film Group’s digital withdrawals, it still leaves us with 40/% of the income.”
"Excluding investment, advertising, crew and main actors' remuneration, etc., we finally received 1.93251 million yuan."
What the fuck?!
Listening to this astronomical figure, Wang Hao was stunned for a moment.
He did think that the final profit would be very scary. After all, the nature of this movie is quite special, and with the support of the Chinese Propaganda Department, the final box office will definitely be indispensable.
But I never expected that the terrifying figure of 1.9 billion would eventually appear!
Wang Hao subconsciously looked at Zhou Xiaoyu and asked: "Good guy, let's not mention other donations. If this money is left, what will happen to our company?"
Zhou Xiaoyu seemed to have already imagined it in his mind.
After listening to Wang Hao's question, she said directly without thinking: "You can buy a headquarters office building belonging to Haohuan Media in Kyoto, then improve each department, and then continue to invest in at least three movies, two
TV drama……"
"Okay, okay, stop talking!"
Wang Hao hurriedly interrupted Zhou Xiaoyu's idea to continue talking. For a moment, he felt his heart was bleeding.
1.9 billion, donated in one go.
To be honest, I really can't bear it.
But the money must be donated. If he really keeps his pockets and doesn't take out any money, the netizens will drown him in their spit, and all the efforts he has made during this period will be completely in vain!
Dare you let go of the "China Propaganda Department"?
Don’t you want your head anymore?
"call……"
After taking a deep breath, Wang Hao's eyes suddenly became firm.
It’s only 1.9 billion. The first movie can have such a harvest, but what about the second, third, and fourth movies?
This number is just the beginning, not the end!
What's more, with this 1.9 billion, he will definitely use greater leverage and receive more rewards!
"Have you contacted the Narcotics Control Bureau? What did they say?"
"We contacted him, and the person in charge there formulated a set of expected plans for us, and explained that if you have better suggestions, you can add them to the plan."
As he spoke, Zhou Xiaoyu took out a document and placed it in front of Wang Hao.
After picking it up and looking at it briefly, Wang Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes filled with surprise.
I saw seven big characters written on the header of the document:
[Anti-drug publicity and commendation conference]
Although the number of words in the document seems to be a lot, the link is very simple. It is roughly that the China Anti-Narcotics Administration and Haohuan Media will hold a joint press conference.
At the meeting, Haohuan Media will donate the box office proceeds to the General Administration of Narcotics Control, and he will receive commendations from the General Administration of Narcotics Control.
However, after reading it, Wang Hao frowned slightly and said, "Wouldn't it be a bit boring to hold a simple press conference?"
dull?
Listening to this somewhat special word, Zhou Xiaoyu couldn't help but asked curiously: "Then what do you mean..."
Wang Hao didn't elaborate, he just said: "How about this? You put this document here with me and I will improve it. I will give you a complete plan before leaving get off work. How about it?"
"good."
Although he was very curious, Zhou Xiaoyu still nodded slightly.
"By the way, there is also "Charlotte". I heard that the actors have been almost found, and a press conference is expected to be held this Wednesday or Thursday. What do you mean..."
Wang Hao waved his hand and said casually:
"Don't worry about it, just let them play. If they need anything, you can help adjust it. This is a comedy for them to practice. Just don't lose money."
"We are too pressed for time. We can take advantage of the popularity of the Lunar New Year stalls, but I guess we won't be able to explore too much."
"good!"
Zhou Xiaoyu nodded slightly, confirmed some other matters, and then left the office with Hu Wen.
After watching the two people leave, Wang Hao put aside the document about the "press conference" for the time being, and then focused on dealing with the contracts that required his signature.
He worked until three o'clock in the afternoon, and after finishing all the contracts, he put the document back on the table.
"Anti-drug publicity and commendation conference? Since it is anti-drug publicity, why can't we use documentaries or short film screenings for publicity?"
"Also, anti-drug propaganda is important, but Haohuan Media's propaganda is also a top priority. At the very least, the role of these 1.9 billion must be maximized."
While thinking about it, Wang Hao began to use his memory to look back.
He had to look for something that could be added to this press conference. At the very least, he had to maximize the benefits...
…
Before I knew it, several more hours had passed.
The documents on the table had already changed drastically. Wang Hao had filled in a lot of elements, as well as various copywriting that could reflect "anti-drugs" and "commendation".
After checking it one last time, Wang Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Let's leave it like this for now."
With that said, he subconsciously reached out to get the phone to notify Zhou Xiaoyu to come over and pick up this brand new document.
But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door!
"Dong dong dong..."
Through the light-transmitting glass under the office door, you can see that the visitor is wearing casual clothes, and the pair of women's sneakers reveal the other person's identity.
woman?
"Enter,"
Wang Hao responded, then sat back on the chair and looked out the door curiously.
As the door lock clicked, a familiar figure walked in.
Shen Xixi?!
Seeing that pretty face that was obviously full of fatigue, Wang Hao couldn't help but raise his brows, his thoughts darkening.
Sure enough, just as he guessed last night, something happened again!
