As the alarm clock rang, Wang Hao opened his eyes on time.
He did not get up and wash up as usual, but took his mobile phone from the side and quickly opened the ranking list of Coolle app.
No. 1 on the soaring list: The ordinary road!
No. 1 on the new song list: Ordinary Road!
No. 1 on the Hot Song List: The Ordinary Road!
No. 1 on the original list: The Ordinary Road!
"Hey, it is indeed a hackberry tree, and it certainly deserves its reputation."
Wang Hao grinned and couldn't stop laughing for a long time. In just one night, he had successfully reached the top of the cool music chart.
And it’s still No. 1 on the four lists!
Although it cannot be described as unprecedented or unprecedented, such achievements rank high on the entire cool music list.
And Wang Hao clearly noticed that at this time, the top recommendation on the homepage of the Kule app had been replaced by the cover of Ordinary Road.
Recommended quote: "After listening to this song, I realized that there will come a time when you will smile and say that thing that once made you painful."
Seeing this, Wang Hao smiled slightly.
He knew in his heart that this must be Yan Zhen's action, otherwise Kule would never give such a big recommendation to "The Ordinary Road" without even saying hello.
After briefly checking various data, Wang Hao then opened the singer's personal background.
At this time, the number of trials and downloads has already undergone earth-shaking changes!
Number of auditions: 2.27 million!
Number of downloads: 1.57 million!
The scary thing is that this is just data from one night.
Waiting until daybreak is the moment when "Ordinary Road" will truly exert its power. Wang Hao believes that by then, both the number of auditions and the number of downloads will have increased several times!
Then, he looked at the estimated income column.
1099000!
"Damn it! This is much faster than recording variety shows!"
Even if he records more than a dozen episodes of a variety show, after excluding company shares and personal income tax, Wang Hao can only earn two million.
But what about singing?
In just one night, this song alone brought Wang Hao more than one million yuan in income!
In such a comparison, the gap between the two is simply terrifying!
But after the initial excitement, Wang Hao slowly calmed down. He did not think that recording a variety show was not worthwhile because of the huge income gap.
You know, the reason why this song became popular is actually because of the platform advantage of Extreme Challenge.
The two parties can be said to be complementary to each other.
"Phew! A new day! A new beginning! Keep up the good work!"
After cheering himself up, Wang Hao turned off his mobile phone and started to get up and clean up.
The recording location for the third phase is still in Shanghai, and it is not far from the hotel where Wang Hao lives, so he still has a lot of free time.
…
At this time, the extreme challenge program group.
Many staff members, including Yan Yin and Zhang Qi, had already arrived at the recording location for the third episode.
Because it was still early, after setting up the scene, Yan Qin led everyone to have a small meeting.
Several assistant directors began to report on their work progress.
Costumes, props, game sessions, on-site scheduling...etc. have all been prepared in advance, and several guests have already departed from the hotel, so they can definitely arrive before the stipulated time.
"very good."
When he learned that everything was ready, Yan Qin immediately nodded with satisfaction.
After two episodes of recording, not only the guests have improved, but even the entire director team has also improved.
Now the whole scene is no longer as messy as the first phase. Everything is in order and there is no disclosure.
At this moment, Zhang Qi, the head of the publicity department, raised his phone, shook it, and said with a smile: "I want to tell you some good news. The number of views for the second issue of iQiyi has exceeded 40 million, and it is making great strides towards 50 million.
Come in."
"As long as we can maintain this momentum, maybe we may actually be selected for the variety show category of this year's China Entertainment Archives."
boom!!!
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked, and everyone had unstoppable smiles on their faces.
If Extreme Challenge can really be selected into the China Entertainment Archives, it will be a huge achievement for the entire program staff.
Let's not mention honors or anything else, just doubling their salary is enough for them to enjoy themselves all day long.
"Zhang Qi, tell me, is it because of the song "The Ordinary Road"?" an assistant director asked excitedly.
Although the other people are not responsible for publicity, as long as you pay a little attention, you can know that the popularity of Ordinary Road has spread throughout the entire circle!
"That's right!"
Zhang Qi nodded, not hiding anything, and went straight to the point: "The song itself, Ordinary Road, is of extremely high standard, and it also has the potential to become a hit."
"So we immediately contacted the person in charge of Cool Music and paid a fee to buy the homepage recommendation."
"I believe some of you already know that Ordinary Road has now ranked first in the four cool music rankings,"
"This is an extremely excellent result! It is also an excellent publicity channel for extreme challenges."
"We roughly estimated that out of ten people who listened to Ordinary Road, at least four of them would choose to watch Extreme Challenge!"
"The sponsor is very satisfied. Our benefits have far exceeded our efforts!"
At the end of the speech, Zhang Qi's voice echoed through the entire studio.
Dozens of staff looked at him with dull eyes, and their hearts were extremely shocked.
At this time, Yan Zhen broke through and stood up.
After circling around, he solemnly said: "Actually, after the second issue ended last night, I already had a bold idea in my mind!"
"If my goal before was just to create a popular variety show, then from now on, my goal has changed!"
"This time, our target is the China Entertainment Archives!"
"And the time limit I planned is... before the end of the first season!"
"Everyone, have confidence!"
At this moment, the sound of heavy breathing echoed in the studio. Everyone looked at Yan Qin blankly, and their faces gradually turned red!
"have!!!"
A moment later, angry shouts suddenly resounded throughout the entire studio!
…
The popularity of a song has an all-round impact. Not only has the playback volume of Extreme Challenge increased significantly, but even Wang Hao himself has entered the eyes of many interested people.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people sitting in the conference room on the top floor of Huihuang Film and Television Media Co., Ltd.
These dozen people include Wang Hao's manager Zhou Xiaoyu, Deputy Director of the Propaganda Department Li Yangjiang, Deputy Director of the Music Department Zhang Liangdi and many other middle-level managers of the company.
The person presiding over the meeting was Gao Xian, deputy director of the Contract Department.
Although everyone is on the same level in terms of level, due to the special nature of the contract department, Gao Xian's actual status is much higher than everyone else.
After placing the data report in his hand on the table, Gao Xian frowned and said, "I think you have all heard the song The Ordinary Road, right? Have you finished reading the data report?"
Everyone nodded, but still no one responded.
Seeing this, Gao Xian looked directly at Zhang Liangdi, the deputy director of the music department, and said: "Lao Zhang, tell me, what does this data mean?"
"The lyrics, composition, and singing are all written by the same person, and his performance even topped the four cool music charts in a short period of time. This means that this Wang Hao has the potential to become a first-line singer!"
"Of course, the premise is that he can continue to maintain this state."
After saying that, Zhang Liangdi paused and then added: "He is only 22 years old! His potential is infinite!"
Gao Xian nodded, looked to his right, and said, "So Zhou Xiaoyu, do you have anything to say?"
Under the table, Zhou Xiaoyu's hands subconsciously clenched a little tighter.
To be honest, she had thought that Wang Hao's song "The Ordinary Road" would do well, but she didn't expect that it would do so well!
No. 1 on the cool music list!
When was the last time this happened?
She vaguely remembered that she seemed to be the super rookie trainee who was promoted to the altar by Penguin Company, one of the four major film and television media companies, last year...Wu Cankun?
Zhou Xiaoyu knew very well that this meeting was actually an accountability meeting.
For the company, what they have to do is to squeeze the potential of the artists without violating the contract.
Making money is the way to go!
But you told me today? This song "The Ordinary Road" that suddenly became popular has nothing to do with the company?
Just thinking about it makes people angry!
The root cause of all this is Zhou Xiaoyu. As an agent, he couldn't even handle the artist's contract. This is definitely a huge dereliction of duty!
Seeing the popularity and downloads of "The Ordinary Road" continue to soar, Gao Xian felt that his heart began to ache.
How much profit will be lost!
…
After taking a deep breath under everyone's gaze, Zhou Xiaoyu explained: "He graduated from Huaxia University of Communication. When he entered the company, he took the direct recruitment channel from the college, and the contract was only for film and television.
The work does not involve music."
Huaxia University of Communication?
Gao Xian's expression was slightly startled, and he suddenly felt suffocated in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent his anger.
As the largest training college for film and television media students in China, Huaxia Media College has an extremely high status!
It is no exaggeration to say that at least one-third of the first-line film and television artists in the entire entertainment industry came from this academy.
Because of this, in order to tap potential new stars, major film and television media companies have no choice but to sign a special contract with the Huaxia University of Communication.
All artists who are directly recruited by Huaxia Media College will enjoy a C-level contract. All profits will be divided 30/70 with the company, and the contract period will be changed to three years!
This is a very overbearing contract, but it also proves the high status of Huaxia University of Communication!
"Moreover, his contract in film and television variety shows is about to expire, at the end of this year."
"Why don't you sign a contract extension?"
Gao Xian frowned, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
Zhou Xiaoyu shrugged and said: "The current comprehensive evaluation given by the company is B level, Wang Hao said that we can wait and see."
Although she didn't say it clearly, who among the people here is a fool?
Obviously, Wang Hao is not satisfied with the contract given by the company.
Looking at the personal information about Wang Hao in his hand, Gao Xian fell into silence for a long time. As the deputy director of the Contract Department, he must first ensure the interests of the company.
As for artists...they are just miserable migrant workers below the front line.
