Chapter 296 Competition and Opportunity

After the Tang dishes they ordered were delivered, the two women were finally full. Tina almost ate the entire plate of Kung Pao chicken, and Blainey also ate two pieces of Dongpo pork without any surprise.

"After eating today, you must control your diet in the future. Otherwise, becoming fat will undoubtedly be a disaster. I will ask your agent about your weight at any time."

What Chen Feng said was very reasonable.

Both women were a little embarrassed, they were indeed a bit greedy.

Tina first responded: "Don't worry, boss, I will strictly control my diet from today on. I will only eat salad at night. In the future, I will strictly follow the diet and exercise plan of the nutritionist and health practitioner."

Blainey nodded quickly: "Me too."

"Okay. I believe you." After saying this, Chen Feng directly issued an eviction order, "It's almost time now. If you have nothing else to do, go back."

The reason why Chen Feng is like this is that he is really afraid that if the two girls stay here until Miranda comes back, Miranda will misunderstand her. Especially now that Tina has become a sexy queen, and she is still single, Chen Feng knows it even more

She has a good impression of herself. It would be bad if she makes Miranda unhappy.

Tina and Blainey looked at each other with resentment on their faces. In their hearts, they still hoped to stay with Chen Feng for a while longer.

However, the host Chen Feng had already issued an eviction order, so they could not stay longer and had no choice but to stand up and leave.

After Chen Feng saw them leaving, he got up and went to his bedroom upstairs to take a shower and then lay on the bed to sleep. He was very tired during this period. Even though he had taken a nap on the plane before, he still felt a little tired now.

, fell asleep not long after lying down.

Tina and Blainey took the same car back, and now they have a very good relationship with each other, often gathering together in private. Even Blainey's current residence is only about ten minutes' drive from Tina's private villa.

It's quite close.

The two went to Tina's villa first. Tina opened a bottle of martini and poured a glass for herself and Blainey.

Both of them actually drink. Although Blainey has not yet reached the legal age of 21 to drink, he has drunk a lot in private.

Of course, the enforcement of this law in the United States is quite inadequate. Generally, after the age of 18, drinking in private is a very common behavior.

The two had drank together several times before, so Tina poured Blaney a drink without asking.

The two stood in front of the bar and took a sip each. Tina smiled and said: "Lenny, the boss really cares about you. And his vision is really good. None of the three people he has selected so far is not popular.

It was me and Tiffany before, and now it’s you. Our Beauty Company is now hailed by many media as the entertainment company that is best at cultivating trustworthy singers.”

"Can I be considered famous now?" Blainey is obviously not satisfied with his current fame.

Tina smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Aren't you considered popular now? I don't know how many people are envious of your current achievements. For example, I have been determined to be a singer since I was eighteen years old, but in the end I can only stay on YouTube.

I developed in obscurity until I was twenty-two years old, when I made some achievements on Youtu.com, with 80,000 to 90,000 fans, and then I was spotted by Meili Beauty Company and signed a contract. Then, even more fortunately, I met my boss, who

Acquired the beautiful lady and then made me famous. I have worked hard for five years. If I were unlucky and didn't meet my boss, I would probably never have the chance to become famous in my life. Compared with me, you are really

So lucky."

Blainey shrugged and said, "I was quite lucky. I met the boss while hanging out in a bar and was chosen by him."

Tina couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth: "So, the boss values ​​you very much. At the beginning, the boss let me choose by myself. If I had not insisted on staying in the company, I would not have achieved such great achievements now.

"

Blainey smiled and said: "I know about this. I heard people in the company talk about it. I heard that you and Tiffany were the only ones who stayed at that time. So, the boss chose to favor you two. As a result,

Both of you were quickly made famous by him."

"Yeah." Tina said with a look of reminiscence, "I felt like I was in a dream at that time. It felt very unreal. Especially after my song "Little Umbrella" topped the Billboard,

It was even more unreal. Only the fact that I had maintained the championship for several weeks in a row made the unreal feeling even more intense. I felt like I was turning red out of nowhere. I was completely unprepared for this. That paragraph

At that time, I was both excited and anxious, and often suffered from insomnia.”

Blainey said disapprovingly: "I don't have any feelings about being famous. Maybe I'm not as famous as you were then. My current song "Super Complicated" only stays at the second place on the Billboard, and it doesn't seem to have enough stamina. It's very

It’s hard to reach the top.”

Tina encouraged: "This is not necessarily true. You have risen to second place in only the second week. This is already a very impressive result. You can beat those veteran singers."

Blainey said helplessly: "Beyoncé is now number one, and the song was just released last week. It's not easy for me to remember her."

Beyoncé was originally the lead singer in a phenomenal girl group in Europe and the United States. She had countless fans and was extremely popular. Last year, the girl group disbanded, and she began her solo career and achieved very high achievements.

Her second solo album was released this year and achieved quite good results. It topped Billboard's singles and album charts in the first week. Even though the sales were slightly lower than Tina's album last year, the gap was still there.

Not very big. It can be said that there is a vague competitive relationship between the two.

First of all, their music styles are relatively similar; secondly, they are both black and white mixed-race black beauties, and both are sexy. Last year, Beyoncé’s song "Crazy in Love" dominated the Billboard singles chart for 8 weeks.

Time, however, was later broken by Tina's "Discovering Love", which dominated the singles No. 1 spot for 10 weeks.

Now in the new year, Beyoncé is auditioning for her second solo album, and the results are quite good. The album topped the album charts in the first week, and the song "Heard and Heard" is now also the top singles chart, and it looks like

The situation will continue to remain so.

It took Blainey's "Complicated" two weeks to climb to second place, and looking at the index, it's hard to beat Beyoncé's "Heard and Heard."

Of course, Tina also knew how powerful Beyoncé was, and she didn’t say anything hypocritical. She just continued to encourage: “Although this Beyoncé is very powerful, your development potential is also huge. You may not lose to her in the future.

"

Blainey was not modest and nodded directly: "I think so too."

Tina was a little speechless, but still said: "Don't take this Beyoncé lightly. In the future, she will be our strong enemy, and there will also be Tiffany. It seems that her new album has also started recording. Maybe.

Crash with your album.”

Blainey was modest this time and said: "I am still a little weak compared to Beyoncé now, but you can hold her head above water. You two are both black beauties, with similar music styles, and are destined to become rivals in the future.

As for Tiffany, I’m not looking down on her. I think it was her biggest mistake to leave the beautiful woman and her boss. Her album may have some success, but it definitely can’t compare with you, and it shouldn’t.

I."

Tina couldn't help but smile and said: "You are confident in me and yourself."

Blainey nodded and said: "Of course. Don't forget, we have our boss, a talented musician, as our backer. I think even if I don't believe in myself, I should believe in his strength."

"That's true." Tina smiled and raised her glass, "Come, let's have a drink, for our bright future and for our boss. Cheers."

"cheers."

The two women didn't hesitate at all and drank more than half of the martini in one gulp.

Chen Feng slept until he woke up at about six o'clock in the evening, and then saw Miranda who had returned in the living room downstairs.

The two hadn't seen each other for more than a month. When they first met, they suddenly felt strange. But soon, the two hugged each other, and after a while of warmth, the strange feeling slowly subsided.

.

"Honey, I miss you so much."

"Me too."

"I'll carry you upstairs."

"……Um."

The next day, Chen Feng went to the company refreshed and listened to the work reports of Trelawen and Lisa. At present, the financial situation of the Beauty Beauty Company is very good. The film "Queen Prada" is

The investment is currently expected to earn nearly three times the income. In addition, a TV series the company has invested in has begun to pay back its capital and is expected to earn double the income.

The biggest investment in film and television is not just Tina's cash cow. Her records, commercial performances, and endorsements have brought nearly 100 million U.S. dollars in revenue to the company. In less than a year, compared with grabbing

Banks are even more violent. They are real money-spinners.

In the future, Blainey will also develop into such a cash cow. Currently, the balance of funds on the company's books is more than 80 million US dollars. It is definitely not a problem to have so much money lying in the company's account. It must be invested and earned.

Just withdraw more money.

First of all, the company's biggest expense is the production of Blainey's new album. First of all, in terms of collecting songs, the company has to spend a lot of money to collect songs. Chen Feng has released three songs in total, and Chen Feng also followed his own

The brothers in the company settled the accounts clearly, giving each song 100,000 US dollars, plus 12.8% copyright dividend. Compared with the licensing fee for each song, Chen Feng valued the copyright dividend more.

After all, 10% of the company's shares are now given to Trelawen, and there will be incentive shares in the future, including those allocated to cash cows like Tina. Otherwise, over time, it will be impossible to tie Tina up. After all, she is so profitable now.

Yes. The liquidated damages of US$50 million previously set for her were obviously a bit low.

Of course, Chen Feng's income is not included in the company's income, it is entirely his own personal income.

The company currently has a budget of US$3 million for the production of Blainey's new album, and does not have much expenditure on other aspects. Therefore, Trauren is currently actively looking for projects worthy of investment, especially in the filming of TV series.

After filming, you can package it all at once and sell it to a TV station, or you can cooperate with the TV station to get a share of advertising.

At present, Trelawen has chosen three scripts for selection. He just has not yet decided which one to film. As a general manager, he has certain rights. After all, the filming of TV series in the United States has always been

Let's shoot one or two episodes to test the waters first. If the audience's response is good and the ratings are okay, we will continue filming, otherwise we will cut it off directly.

If you only shoot one or two episodes in the early stage, the investment will naturally not be much. If you want to control the cost, you can do it for tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, the general manager of Trelawen has the right to control tens of thousands of dollars.

Chen Feng was also somewhat interested in the scripts of these three TV series, so he asked casually.

As a result, Trelawen really gave him a surprise.

"Of these three scripts, two of them are considered adventure dramas. One is called "The Wasteland", which tells the story of a young man living in the wilderness, and the other is called "Lost", which tells the story of a group of people living on a desert island after a plane crash.

The third one is a sitcom called "The Big Bang Theory," which tells an interesting story about a scientist nerd. In comparison, sitcoms require less investment. I am more inclined to invest in this sitcom first."

When Chen Feng heard his description, he was stunned for a while before he realized what he was saying. He quickly said, "Can you bring the script over now? Let me take a look."

Of course, Trelawen had no objection, and immediately went to get the printed manuscripts of the three scripts.

Chen Feng first watched the TV series "The Big Bang Theory", which was very popular in his original time and space. Whether you watch it or not, as long as you go online, you can see traces of it from time to time. And it was filmed for more than ten seasons in one go, and the ratings are stable.

Not to mention, the reputation is also quite good.

At a glance, Chen Feng looks like it is roughly the same version of "The Big Bang Theory" from the original time and space. When Chen Feng was in college, he watched the first few seasons of this drama with his roommates in his dormitory. It is definitely unmistakable. It's roughly the same.

The content is not much different from the classic lines.

Then Chen Feng went to see "Lost". This is also a magical drama, and it took several years to film. Although the plot behind it is a bit broken, it is still a classic. Chen Feng also watched it all when he was in college. Now I compare it.

When I looked at the script, it turned out that it was not much different from the original time and space.

As for the third part of "The Wasteland", Chen Feng watched it for the last time. He only watched the first two episodes, but there was no impression in his mind, so he didn't bother to watch it.

Chen Feng said decisively: "Both "The Big Bang Theory" and "Lost" are good. I suggest you start filming immediately. However, you must find a good actor for "The Big Bang Theory", especially the leading role. Wait for you to choose.

After that, I want to watch it myself. For "Lost", the director needs to be chosen well. Otherwise, I have no objections."
