Chapter 63 The Boss Behind the Scenes

Penguin Building, 22nd floor

Yang Xiaoyue was led here by a secretary.

Because her identity is not enough, she does not have the right to enter this level.

"Mr. Wan is good." Yang Xiaoyue was very respectful in front of this man with an ordinary face but a capable temperament all over his body.

This person is the CEO in charge of the entertainment industry in "Penguin Empire" and the real planner of this show.

"Xiaoyue, please sit down." Wan Kai smiled reservedly and politely. He was just over forty and could be in charge of a department that invested tens of billions of dollars every year, so he naturally had the capital to be proud of.

The planning of this girl group talent show is actually an important step in his implementation of the "pan-entertainment strategy" with IP as the core.

The core of the entertainment industry is that "stars" can control film, television, variety shows and related industries as long as they control the stars. This program is an attempt to create stars through the assembly line.

"Mr. Wan, other aspects of the project have been implemented and completed. What I lack most now is qualified trainees." Yang Xiaoyue said with a smile.

"Have you not found the trainee you need yet? You have met tens of thousands of people in the past month or so." Wan Kai frowned.

"I meet a lot of people, but their skills are not up to par, so I still insist on looking for ideas from professional schools." Yang Xiaoyue's statement at this time was completely different from that at the meeting.

Obviously, she is also worried about the quality of trainees, but she must be consistent with the company's opinions in public meetings.

"Xiaoyue, we have discussed this matter countless times."

"The company does not need people with strong professional skills. What we need is people who can be accepted by the public. Our program is to create 'assembly-line stars'. Two to three years of their acting life is enough."

Wan Kai patiently emphasized it again.

"Mr. Wan, I understand the company's thinking, but we also have to deal with the problem of program presentation. If there is no one who can "control the situation," the quality of the program will also be lowered."

"Didn't you find a good group?"

"No, the technical level of these girl groups is really hard to describe. Some of them are good, but these companies won't let them go because of the terms we gave them."

After hearing what Yang Xiaoyue said, Wan Kai understood her true intention.

"The contract cannot be changed. The company will not make wedding clothes for others. This is its core interest. Xiaoyue, I hope you understand that you are just the director."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wan, I overstepped my authority." Yang Xiaoyue immediately apologized.

In fact, she had expected such a result, but for her, her own achievement is only when the program is done well, and it has nothing to do with her whether Penguin's interests will be damaged or not.

"Director Yang, the company has also considered the suggestion you just made. We have reached an agreement with Yuehua Entertainment Company and they will send people to participate in this show."

"Yuehua Entertainment? Is it the 'Galaxy Girl Group'?"

"Yes, but they are all domestic trainees, and there will be two girls who debuted in the peninsula country to lead the team. They will definitely support the scene."

Hearing Wan Kai's words, Yang Xiaoyue felt a little relieved. She knew about this girl group.

"Mr. Wan, how are the discussions going on with the company over at Xinghe?"

"Galaxy!"

When Wan Kai heard this name, his face immediately sank.

Penguin had originally planned to start a separate girl group, but he didn't want to put in the effort to train trainees, so he just bought one.

They chose over and over again, and finally found that there were only two suitable ones.

One is Galaxy Entertainment, and the other is the "Magic Digital Girl Group" formed by Shuangshuang Company, which also makes instant messaging software.

In the end, we chose Xinghe, but encountered a setback during the acquisition.

That Lao Mu refused to sell the group that was almost finished at that time.

Penguin is not in a hurry, waiting for Lao Mu to buy it when he can no longer afford the pants for those girls.

As a result, Xinghe produced a "Ten Thousand Years Beauty" little orange, which immediately turned the tables.

In addition, the companies that produced girl groups later closed down one after another, so Penguin stopped paying attention to Xinghe.

"The company cannot agree to the conditions proposed by Xinghe." Mr. Wan paused and said, "Their company wants its own artists to participate in the film and television dramas we invest in."

Yang Xiaoyue couldn't help but frown and said: "Xinghe's appetite is so big. Isn't it possible that he can't be satisfied with just one group position and the subsequent operating share?"

Mr. Wan sneered and said: "The slogan we proposed this time is to be the 'No. 1 girl group in China.' Naturally, Xinghe is not willing to do it. After all, in Lao Mu's heart, Xinghe is the number one girl group."

"Judging from the current domestic girl group situation, Xinghe is indeed number one, but it only has some influence in the fandom and cannot reach the national level." Yang Xiaoyue said.

"Yes, Xinghe doesn't have the strength to run his own girl group. Our cooperation is a win-win situation, but Lao Mu doesn't think so." Mr. Wan shook his head.

"Mr. Wan, if this is the case, will there still be stars in our early materials?"

"The predecessor of Xinghe is Sakura Country's 'Hundred Otaku Group'. If this is the case, then we will increase the proportion of 'Hundred Otaku Group' in our materials." Mr. Wan said with a smile.

Yang Xiaoyue smiled knowingly and continued: "Okay, how do we deal with the Magic Numbers girl group?"

"Just seek truth from facts. We are friends after all!" A look of disdain flashed deep in Mr. Wan's eyes: "For the sake of program effectiveness, we will conduct network-wide marketing in the early stage."

"Director Yang, the company's expectations for this show are still very high."

"Currently, the market potential of domestic entertainment for girl groups has not been fully unleashed. This time we must be the first to 'eat crabs'."

Hearing Mr. Wan's ambitious declaration, Yang Xiaoyue felt warm in her heart.

While the two were discussing the draft, Lao Mu and Shen Xing from Galaxy Company were also discussing the matter.

"Mr. Mu, are we really not going to participate in Penguin's show?"

"It's difficult! This show is obviously aimed at all the domestic girl groups. If we go there, it will be a disguised admission. What they have produced is the 'first domestic girl group'"

Lao Mu's smooth and fat face was full of embarrassment.

"Mr. Mu, if we don't go, it will be difficult to work on some projects with Penguin in the future." Shen Xing said while observing the boss's face.

"I have considered what you said, but the foundation of our galaxy is the fan economy. If we participate in this show, the loss of fans will be fatal to us." Lao Mu's eyes became deep.

"Mr. Mu, you are right. The core of this program is actually the same as ours. It just changed the skin and increased the confrontation." Shen Xing said.

"Mr. Mu, we have a little idol here who secretly went for an interview."

"What?" Lao Mu couldn't help being furious when he heard this: "This is betrayal of the company!"

"Mu Dong, you also know that our company has too few resources for young idols. Now that Penguin has offered such a big pie, some of our little idols in Hanoi are tempted."

Lao Mu recovered from his rage and thought for a while and said: "I think this way, you can let people take the rhythm in their pockets and degrade this program, so that we will have less pressure when punishing and interviewing young idols."

Shen Xing nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Dong Mu, why don't we send someone to participate."

"Huh?" Lao Mu looked at Shen Xing with a puzzled look on his face.
