"You can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, just like the girl I've been looking for. Of course, you are the girl I've been looking for..."
Liu Haozheng and Gao Yuanyuan were chatting on the phone, laughing from time to time, and their sweet and enjoyable look made Wang Jinghua on the side look a little helpless.
Wang Jinghua is already used to this kind of situation. Liu Hao also took the initiative to call Zeng Li not long before talking to Gao Yuanyuan.
Almost the same words, the same sweetness, the same enjoyment.
Wang Jinghua tactfully reminded Liu Hao that it is not a glorious thing to be in two boats after all. If it was exposed, it would have a great impact on Liu Hao's career, but Liu Hao didn't care, and Wang Jinghua could only do her best to help Liu Hao fight.
cover.
After all, he is his biggest employer and biggest cash cow.
After waiting for Liu Hao and Gao Yuanyuan to chat for a long time before ending the call, Wang Jinghua began to report.
"I have contacted Pu Shu as you requested, and he declined politely..."
Pu Shu is not popular yet! At this time!
Liu Hao, who has future memories, is very aware of the potential of Pu Shu. Since he hates a certain Tsinghua dropout student, Liu Hao will naturally not leave this money tree to him.
Liu Hao found out clearly that although Pu Shu signed a contract with his "Maitian Music", "Maitian Music" has not produced and released an album for Pu Shu so far. Liu Hao's cost of poaching people is very low.
As long as Pu Shu is willing.
Liu Hao was surprised and said: "Didn't you explain my conditions clearly to him? As long as he is willing to change jobs, the signing fee will not be small, double or triple the salary is fine, and I will not interfere with his creation, as long as he is ready
I can help him produce and release records at any time without any conditions..."
Wang Jinghua said helplessly: "I made it clear to him what you asked. Although he was moved, he still didn't agree in the end. He also said that the person was kind to him and was still his close friend and relative, and he didn't want to betray...
.”
Liu Hao sneered, dear friends and relatives! Don't want to betray! That's because your bid is not enough, you have to pay more!
The conditions I offered were already full of sincerity. Although I admired him, I was not a licker, so there was no need to increase the stakes.
Even if you don't succeed in poaching, the purpose of disgusting someone has been achieved. After all, others refused a big contract and high salary for you, so should you improve others' treatment? If you are stingy and unwilling, you will definitely feel resentment.
But since Pu Shu doesn't want to leave that guy, he can feel more at ease using his future songs. It just so happens that Liu Hao remembers several of his classic songs.
Wang Jinghua continued: "He also wants to connect you and resolve your grudges with someone. After all, it is better to reconcile enemies than to end them..."
Liu Hao snorted coldly and said, "He doesn't have such a big face!"
Wang Jinghua asked again: "Then you still want to sue someone for defamation?"
"Sue, keep suing me!!"
Although defamation is difficult to prove and win, Liu Hao doesn't care. Just spending a sum of money can continue to disgust someone and make someone exhausted. That is enough.
It’s worth thinking about.
Wang Jinghua couldn't help but take another look at Liu Hao, as if she was getting to know him again, but then she thought about it, he was still a young man.
Are young people still considered young if they are not young and energetic?
Liu Hao picked up the information documents that Wang Jinghua had worked so hard to collect. Many of them were news reports about Liu Hao's second album.
"The mainland pop king has worked hard to create a double enjoyment of visual and auditory enjoyment!"
"The work that marks the coronation of the Chinese pop king!"
"Leading figure in the Chinese music scene!"
"It came out of nowhere and made all the stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan eclipse!"
“If you don’t buy it, you are not a mainlander!”
Waiting for extremely exaggerated words of praise.
This situation is not entirely the result of Liu Haofang's public relations, but more of the spontaneous "heartfelt remarks" of the mainland media.
The quality of Liu Hao's second album is obviously much better than that of his first album. Three songs such as "Dusk", "Later" and "Courage" were among the top three songs in the year-end charts of 2000. They are the best songs among the best.
(Up at Station B did a 10-year statistics from 2000 to 2009, and all three songs were in the top ten of the 10-year list!)
Of course, the other songs are all top-notch. The songs on the second album are closer to this era than the songs on the first album, and are more easily accepted by the audience of this era.
Even without the Spring Festival buff of the Spring Festival blessing song "Gong Xi Fa Cai", it would be easy to see the explosion.
This is also true.
The second album was sold out as soon as it was released, major video stores were in emergency, and record recording factories were also working overtime.
Many record companies have also postponed their album promotion plans for well-known singers to avoid being exposed.
With the continued popularity of his second album, no one would think that Liu Hao is a meteor streaking across the sky.
Nowadays, Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music is so popular that it has almost overwhelmed mainland pop music. Liu Hao's sudden emergence is considered by many to be a banner to resist Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music.
After all, he is "one of his own", a singer-songwriter who does all the writing and music, and coupled with his current achievements, he is indeed worthy of the mainland media's boasting.
Rock, rap, Japanese lyricism, as well as innovative drama and popular Chinese style, the attempts of various styles have indeed been recognized and favored by more musicians.
Of course, songs like "The Drunken Concubine" did arouse criticism from some old-fashioned or envious opera people, but Liu Hao did not focus on promoting this song, and such critical voices have long been drowned in the ocean of praise.
Not a single ripple.
Looking at these news reports, Liu Hao felt really happy!
But at this time Wang Jinghua poured cold water on Liu Hao and reminded: "According to the survey data analysis, the sales of your new album will be higher than the first album, but the sales volume of the original album will not be much higher..."
After hearing this, Liu Hao immediately understood that if the already popular Liu Hao released a new album, the popularity of the new album would make piracy appear earlier.
Although the mainland record market is growing with demand, the increasing popularity of VCD machines and the ever-changing piracy technology have made piracy cheaper and cheaper, and piracy has become more and more crazy.
For example, last year Liu Hao's first album sold more than 10 million in mainland China, but the original sales were less than 2 million. This year, Liu Hao's second album sold more than 20 million in mainland China, but the original sales will not exceed 3 million.
Piracy is crazy.
But it was helpless. Liu Hao shook his head and said with a smile: "You said that my first album made these pirates make crazy money. Why don't they take the opportunity to become genuine sellers and help me sell my new album?"
Wang Jinghua laughed, "I have indeed heard of this situation..."
But no matter what, piracy can still give legitimate copies a chance to survive, and albums and records can still make money. After the millennium, publishing physical albums and records will become more and more thankless, and will eventually become a tool for singers to maintain their popularity.
, singers can only make money through other methods.
For example, business performances, catching up on announcements, concerts, etc.
Fortunately, Liu Hao earned millions from his first album, so he no longer had to work so hard to catch up on commercials. He also had enough time to study acting at the Chinese Opera, so he hardly had to do commercials.
How much money can you make from commercial acting? You want me to lower my eyebrows and bow my waist!
"I have received many invitations to commercial performances now. During the Spring Festival, those merchants are very generous. As long as you go on stage and sing the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai", you can get an appearance fee of more than 300,000 yuan. The price can be negotiated..."
Wang Jinghua pointed upward.
So, so fragrant!
There is a Spring Festival buff bonus, but there is no such shop in this village. The bid is so high, no, it is so sincere, so why not make a fortune during the Spring Festival.
Liu Hao was moved and said quickly: "Then you can help me make good arrangements. It doesn't matter if you are tired, but you must remember not to affect my album promotion and Spring Festival Gala rehearsal..."
"Understood!" Wang Jinghua wrote it down.
Liu Hao reminded again, "Try to arrange commercial performances near the capital and don't go too far..."
Traveling too far away is not only because the schedule affects your own plans, but the most important thing is that you may not be able to get the money, and you may not be safe.
Even King Liu Tian can be made things difficult for him, so he just forgets it.
We chatted some more about music, and then turned to movies.
In addition to Liu Hao, Wang Jinghua has shifted her work focus to artist film and television management, and even established her own artist management company "Black Sea Red Sun".
Mainland's first artist management company.
Of course, Liu Hao paid for the shares. After all, he has established a film and television production investment company, and he must slowly grasp the artist aspect.
Of course, Liu Hao also knew about the love-hate relationship between Wang Jinghua and Huayi Brothers. The news that Wang Jinghua "emptied out" Huayi Brothers was still fresh in his mind. When the benefits are big enough, betrayal is easy.
And he is Wang Jinghua's biggest cash cow, and Liu Hao also believes that he will always be the biggest one. If he wants Wang Jinghua to betray him, the price will probably not be small, and Wang Jinghua must also weigh it.
Of course, Liu Hao will not put all his eggs in one basket. At this stage, his film and television company is too small, no different from a leather bag company, and cannot directly sign artists. When his film and television company grows, he will slowly sign artists directly to
own film and television company.
Chen Daoming is the first film and television artist signed by Wang Jinghua Agency. Chen Daoming is highly respected in the mainland film and television circles, and this is the first formal agency in the mainland. Coupled with the help of Liu Hao's funds, many people are attracted to him.
Come.
Now Wang Jinghua's agency has signed contracts with many artists, such as Cheng Qian, Youyong, Li Bingbing, Ren Quan, Hu Jun, Liu Wei, etc.
Oh, and Gao Yuanyuan.
The movie that my eldest brother is preparing to shoot is considered to be the first work of his film and television company, so he has to consider his "own" artists when choosing the cast.
An important male supporting role in the movie was given to Hu Jun, and the important female supporting role Wang Jinghua recommended Li Bingbing, and the eldest brother was more inclined to Zhang Ziyi.
Each of the four ice pairs has its own merits, so let the elder brother have the headache to think about it.
"Your eldest brother is planning to shoot the movie in advance so that you can join the set as soon as possible after the summer vacation." Wang Jinghua reminded.
"Okay, I'm fine!"
However, it was not a big problem to prepare in advance, but Liu Hao soon realized that the reason why his elder brother had set the shooting time in August was because he had to wait for the schedule of the male and female protagonists, or to be more precise, the schedule of the heroine.
"Is it possible that Fei Jie will return to China early?"
Finally, Wang Jinghua said: "People from PolyGram in Hong Kong City have contacted me. Their president Zheng Donghan rushed to the capital from Hong Kong City and wants to talk to you in person..."
Liu Hao asked in confusion: "Didn't you say before that you had no contact with the people from PolyGram and that you couldn't get in touch? Why did the CEO come to the capital in person this time and go through such a huge effort?"
Wang Jinghua replied: "Maybe they realize your value. I heard that they spent a lot of money to buy shares of your record company, buying 25% of the shares from Huayi Brothers..."
"Oh? This is really interesting." Liu Hao suddenly laughed.
"Since you are ready to part ways with Rolling Stone Records, you can actually talk to PolyGram. They are also a very suitable partner..."
"In that case, you can arrange it for me..." Liu Hao nodded.
…..
Indoors of the General Manager of Baywan Rolling Stone Records Headquarters.
"Why, Xu Huaiyu doesn't want to?" The person sitting in the CEO's seat looked surprised and said with raised eyebrows: "Didn't you make it clear to her? What a rare opportunity this is. As long as you can get along well with him, you can treat her well."
It will be of great help to his career, and she also became famous because of his songs. This is her chance to repay her kindness..."
"I've made it very clear to her," the artist management manager below said with an embarrassed look, "Xu Huaiyu said that from the last time I worked with him, I knew that he didn't have feelings for me, and even if I had a good impression of him, I wouldn't use it.
Such a...disgusting way."
"You bitch is just hypocritical!" the Rolling Stones boss scolded.
"Then should we cancel her album release?" asked the head of artist management.
"Forget it, the album has already been produced. If we cancel it at this time, many people will have objections." The boss shook his head, but such a disobedient artist had already left a thorn in his heart.
The boss thought for a while and realized that there were only a few female singers from the Rolling Stones who had outstanding looks and suitable looks. After all, they were not as good as those in the entertainment industry.
Suddenly he said: "Go to the entertainment industry and help me look for it. There will always be a suitable person who is willing..."
