Wu Gaohui canceled all his schedule early in the morning and personally received Liu Qin's arrival.
Standing together with Wu Gaohui were several senior managers of the cultural and creative agency. They were said to be senior managers, but in fact they were all seniors in Taiwan's entertainment industry, and they were just names in the cultural and creative agency.
When he heard that Hanhai Media was going to buy an artist from a cultural and creative agency, and that Zhu Rongjie had never had a chance to show off, Wu Gaohui's first reaction was shock, and his second reaction was a pounding heart.
Zhu Rongjie is a singer he has always been optimistic about, but in terms of importance, it is definitely not as important as he thinks. Any singer who has not become famous, even if he is good, will basically not get much before he realizes his true value.
Much attention is paid to Li Qing, just like Li Qing back then. Everyone knows that Li Qing is a good all-around singer and will become a great singer in the future. However, before he really rose to prominence, he was despised by most people. Of course, no one
You would have thought that after his debut, Li Qing would soar to the sky and become a pivotal figure in the history of Chinese pop music.
If this had been known earlier, the three major media companies in Beijing would not have regretted doing this and becoming a laughing stock in the industry.
Of course, Zhu Rongjie cannot be compared with Li Qing. Even though Wu Gaohui admires Zhu Rongjie's composition ability, it turns out that Zhu Rongjie's songs are not something that everyone can appreciate.
For example, when Zhu Rongjie was just signed, Wu Gaohui personally handed Zhu Rongjie's works to Hua De'an, Wang Weihong and others, but without exception, they were all rejected ruthlessly.
This also made Wu Gaohui very surprised. After finding a few good songwriters to appreciate Zhu Rongjie's works, they did not get much praise after all, so Zhu Rongjie, who had just signed with the company, became gloomy from then on.
It takes a lot of money to package a singer's debut. Wu Gaohui did not dare to act rashly until Zhu Rongjie's future was clear. Although his cultural and creative agency also included the function of publishing albums, it was a second-tier agency in Taiwan after all.
There isn't much extra money to support a newbie at will.
As a cultural and creative agent, there is no basic salary that can support a newcomer's life, and various benefits can only be enjoyed after debuting. Therefore, in order to survive, Zhu Rongjie appeared in the Western restaurant named by Wu Gaohui and became a
Waiter who works part-time as a pianist.
One year later, Wu Gaohui originally had no idea about Zhu Rongjie, but now, Hanhai Media actually sent Liu Qin to buy Zhu Rongjie's contract. This made Wu Gaohui a little unexpected, but at the same time, he was also shocked to realize that he seemed to have missed something.
Maybe Zhu Rongjie has some shining points that he hasn't discovered yet?
Hanhai is not like a cultural and creative agency. It is a company with deep pockets. Every artist it launches will basically make a lot of money. Every new singer will basically get more than one song composed by Li Qing himself.
This aspect alone cannot be compared with other companies, not to mention that Hanhai Media also has many variety shows that are popular across the Taiwan Strait and three places. The effect of forcing them to be guests is simply not very good. This kind of terrifying exposure
Capabilities that other companies cannot possess.
Wu Gaohui knew that as long as he let go and joined Hanhai's Zhu Rongjie, he would definitely make a fortune in the future.
Therefore, he was also very entangled in his heart, because once he let go, Zhu Rongjie would definitely be stripped of his background after he became successful in the future. By then, wouldn't he become the laughing stock in the industry just like the expedition?
Oh, your cultural and creative economy has cultivated artists who have been silent for a year, and then they became famous when they arrived at Hanhai Media. Doesn’t this mean that your vision is not good?
If he really wants to carry this blame and continue to hang around in the industry, Wu Gaohui will definitely not be willing to do so.
Therefore, whether or not to let go today depends on what conditions Hanhai offers.
Liu Qin is Li Qing's manager. He is well-known and has single-handedly helped Li Qing get to where he is today. Although he is young, he is already a figure comparable to Mu Guiying in the circle. His personal abilities are naturally outstanding. Wu Gaohui is a little worried.
He had never dealt with Liu Qin and was worried that something might go wrong, so he invited seniors from the Taiwanese entertainment industry who were named in his company to face this extraordinary day together.
"Old Wu, have you figured out how to talk?"
Under the cultural and creative company building, Brother Bao, a well-known Taiwanese variety show host, said lazily: "We don't have much business in mainland China, and we don't have much contact with Hanhai. You don't have to worry about them. If you don't want to, just say no.
If you are willing, then think carefully about how to maximize the benefits of this transaction. Speaking of which, is this Zhu Rongjie really that valuable? Can Hanhai be willing to pay three million to buy his contract? "
Brother Bao is about sixty years old, with dark skin, but a patch of white hair. Perhaps it is because he has taken good care of himself, and there are not many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes that should be seen at this age. At this time, he asked the question with a strong voice, and his words were quite surprising.
The three million he was referring to was the liquidated damages Zhu Rongjie had to pay for changing jobs. Of course, the three million he referred to here was New Taiwan dollars, which when converted into RMB, was about half a million.
Not every artist has strict control over newcomers like Far EasTone and other companies. Liquidated damages can easily reach hundreds or tens of millions. As a democratic cultural and creative agent, when cultivating artists, they usually sign two contracts, one for each artist.
Contract, one is an artist’s debut contract.
The artist contract is a basic contract with a liquidated damages of about three million, but the contract signed for the official debut is much more stringent, and the liquidated damages have been increased to more than ten million.
"In fact, I have long thought that Zhu Rongjie is a good young man."
At this time, another company executive named Shen Zhiwei said with a smile: "Although he is not particularly handsome, he writes lyrics and music well, and his singing is also very distinctive. When I entered the company on the first day, I felt that he
Sooner or later, he will rise to great heights. As expected, he has been spotted by Hanhai, right? Brother Hui, I think it’s better for us to keep Zhu Rongjie and train him to make his debut. Maybe he will become an international superstar like Li Qing in the future. Wouldn’t it be a lot of money?
earn……"
When the others heard this, they all secretly rolled their eyes.
What a joke! Can a song rejected by Hua De'an and Wang Weihong be called well-written?
Singing is very unique?
This is even more ridiculous!
Everyone has seen the videotape of Zhu Rongjie's interview. He couldn't speak clearly, and his singing tone was like a mosquito buzzing. It was not at all in line with the basic characteristics of a current pop singer.
For such a person, did you think that he would become a successful person when he first joined Tianjing Company?
Do you know why there are so many cows flying in the sky?
You are bragging!
However, Shen Zhiwei's suggestion in the second half of the sentence is a good plan. After all, he is someone who is favored by everyone in the world. If he trains himself, he might also succeed?
But obviously, this plan was not approved by Wu Gaohui.
"The company doesn't have that much money to take this risk." Wu Gaohui sighed: "Young people have their own world. We are all old. When we meet Miss Liu later, everyone will have a more relaxed attitude. I heard
This Miss Liu was trained by Wang Kun's manager Qiu Feng, who is very powerful in the mainland entertainment industry."
"Whether she has energy or not, what does it matter to us? This is Taiwan."
Brother Bao said disapprovingly: "Since they want to buy our artist contract, of course they are the ones who have the right attitude. The worst thing we can do is not sell it, right? Lao Wu, do you really need the three million? You only need to do it in Taiwan."
You can be the godfather of variety shows, but do you also want to go to the mainland to develop like those backs? Nowadays, young fresh meat is popular, and you old bacon can't do it!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Wu Gaohui was speechless, but in fact, he really had plans to develop on the mainland. In recent years, Taiwanese artists have made money in the mainland, which is overwhelming. Some people have even abandoned the Taiwan market at all and focused on developing in the mainland, earning more than one billion yuan.
The human market is extremely huge, which cannot be compared to Taiwan.
If it weren't for the different living habits between Taiwan and the mainland, and if he was worried that the jokes he could make in Taiwan would not amuse the mainland audience, Wu Gaohui would have already gone to the mainland to open a company at this time.
While several people were chatting and laughing, a red Maserati drove slowly not far away.
"Coming, coming."
Wu Gaohui and others immediately stopped talking and stood in front of the company gate, waiting for the car to park in front of them with smiles on their faces.
When the car door opened and Liu Qin stepped out in high heels, Wu Gaohui smiled and stepped forward to shake hands and said: "Miss Liu, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are really beautiful again? Welcome."
Liu Qin also smiled and shook hands with several people one by one.
At the same time, Zhu Rongjie, who was in the passenger seat, also got off.
When Wu Gaohui saw Zhu Rongjie, he burst out laughing: "Rongjie, you haven't been at work these days. I thought something had happened to you and I was so worried. But now it seems that you went to find Miss Liu behind my back."
Have you gone? Good boy, tell me, are you not used to working in a restaurant? If you are not used to it, tell me! Now the company is short of recording engineers. When you come to the company, you first work as a recording engineer in the singing studio and learn how to produce songs.
, when the time is right, I will arrange for you to make your debut, it will be perfect, don’t you think so?"
Facing Wu Gaohui's enthusiastic tone, Zhu Rongjie seemed a little embarrassed.
Liu Qin's eyes flashed, and when Wu Gaohui finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Hanhai just spent a huge sum of money to buy all the shares of Julu Records this morning, and respected the opinions of the original shareholders and retained the infrastructure of Julu Records. Julu Records is
It is an entertainment company that mainly focuses on singers. In other words, as a singer, as long as Zhu Rongjie is willing, he can go to the singing studio of Julu Records to practice singing anytime and anywhere. It would be such a waste to be a recording engineer!"
Wu Gaohui was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, looked next to Liu Qin, and asked doubtfully: "Miss Liu, are you two here?"
"Two are enough. It's not a war, so why don't we have to recruit troops?" Liu Qin said jokingly.
When Wu Gaohui and others heard this, they all looked at each other in confusion. Immediately, headed by Wu Gaohui, everyone invited Liu Qin to enter the cultural and creative agency building.
It is said to be a building, but in fact it is just a six-story multi-story building. The first and second floors are cafes, and the above is used as the office area for cultural and creative agents. It is located in a busy city. When Wu Gaohui and others were standing downstairs waiting,
It has attracted the attention of many fans, but fortunately no one came forward to ask for a photo.
After everyone sat in the conference room, Liu Qin chatted for a few words and then went directly to the topic: "Brother Hui, the purpose of my visit this time was made clear to you in the store. I want to buy Zhu Rongjie's
contract."
"I know, I know." Wu Gaohui smiled, and then looked at Zhu Rongjie sitting beside him, his eyes full of love: "Rongjie, I'm sorry for him!"
The conference room suddenly fell silent.
Wu Gaohui continued: "When I signed Rong Jie, based on his singing characteristics, I actually wanted to help him become a rapper. But as you know, rap is still a very small category in the Chinese music scene. This
There is no such singer whose album has been a hit. And I think the songs written by Rong Jie are very special. Although they are not in line with the current popular music, at least to my ears, they don’t feel annoying. Later, I started listening to him.
Let others sing the song, thinking that if it is really popular, I will support Rongjie again. In this case, the risk in the early stage will be minimized. You know, after all, our cultural and creative agency is not a company mainly engaged in recording.
, it is risky for a newcomer to publish a film. Once the sales are not good, the whole company may be dragged into the quagmire, so I will wait for another opportunity, waiting for an opportunity for Rongjie to publish a film."
Brother Bao and Shen Zhiwei looked calm at this time, but their eyes were a little surprised. Apparently they did not expect Wu Gaohui to say such remarks.
Zhu Rongjie just listened silently, with no clear expression on his face, but judging from his slightly clasped hands, it was obvious that he was touched in his heart.
Liu Qin had rich experience in negotiation. She silently looked at the expressions of Wu Gaohui and others, and she already had a clear understanding in her heart.
Wu Gaohui sighed: "In fact, I have waited for this opportunity. Not long ago, our company received an angel fund. Recently, I have been working hard to help Rongjie invite songs. If you don't believe it, you can ask A
No, I called Arnold yesterday and asked him to do his best to write a golden song and give it to Rong Jie as the title song of his new album..."
Arnold is the ace songwriter of a cultural and creative agency, and has written songs for many well-known singers in Taiwan.
Liu Qin suddenly said: "Brother Hui, I don't have much time, let's just open the skylight and speak frankly."
Wu Gaohui was about to continue making up a story when he was interrupted by Liu Qin, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
He coughed and smiled: "Actually, the thing is very simple. Rongjie, I have started preparing for your new album. I can guarantee you that within half a year, I will definitely let you release your first album.
If you stay, we, master and apprentice, will work hand in hand to create a miracle in the music world. If you are not willing to stay, I, as a teacher, will not force you to do so, and will only sincerely wish you greater success in the future...
…”
Hearing this, Liu Qin turned to look at Zhu Rongjie: "Hanhai, Wenchuang, you choose one!"
The ultimate choice was ultimately left in the hands of the person involved, Zhu Rongjie.
Zhu Rongjie was confused all of a sudden. Looking at the looks from everyone, he felt a little nervous.
According to the rules of the music industry, Wu Gaohui led Zhu Rongjie into the music industry. In a sense, he was indeed Zhu Rongjie's teacher. It would not be an exaggeration to even call him his mentor, even though he did not give him much help.
Therefore, Zhu Rongjie was deeply moved when faced with his mentor's passionate plea to stay, and he said without hesitation: "I choose Hanhai."——
