"Sister Meng, the company has agreed to your concert!" The manager happily told Shen Meng the good news immediately.
She herself received a call from the company's senior management, and was still surprised that she would be contacted for anything. After all, she was responsible for most of the work now, and the company rarely contacted her except for some important matters.
When she learned that the top management agreed to the concert that Shen Meng had been dreaming about, she was extremely happy.
Shen Meng has been thinking about this for a long time. She wanted to hold a concert ever since she won the championship in "God of Song", which was also the peak of her fame.
After all, she defeated a group of powerful singers and won the championship in a phenomenal variety show. The popularity at that time was overwhelming, and she received invitations like snowflakes in that year.
Every singer hopes to be able to hold a concert. This is a singer's dream.
Shen Meng originally proposed to the company to hold a concert, but was rejected.
The reason given was that the music market was sluggish, and the previous concerts held by well-known singers basically lost money. The company was not optimistic about the profit model of the concerts, so the company gave up the idea.
Shen Meng had no choice but to face the fact that she couldn't guarantee that her concert would make money, so she put the matter on hold.
After all, entertainment companies still have to focus on making profits, and are unlikely to make investments that are too risky, especially since concerts involve all aspects and have to deal with the government in advance. The matter is cumbersome and unprofitable, so naturally they will not agree.
At that time, Starway Entertainment had a huge influence, second only to Feifan Entertainment. Even though Shen Meng was a first-line female singer, her status in the company was not the highest among artists. There were several first-line stars, including actors and singers. There is also a big director within the company!
Chen Meng's resources can only be said to be moderate, not outstanding.
The resources of "God of Song" can be regarded as a resource that she fought for. Because she won the championship, it actually made her influence a little greater. Otherwise, her influence within the company would be lower.
Later, Starway Entertainment underwent drastic changes. Several first-line artists left the company, and directors were poached by other companies. In order to stabilize the hearts of the people within the company and the first-line artists, Starway Entertainment raised Shen Meng's status a little higher.
Because first-line artists have left, the remaining first-line artists are even more precious. Every first-line star is a very important resource, and the company values it very much.
It takes a lot of resources to cultivate an artist into a first-line star, and then he runs away, which is a huge blow to the company. Starway's external and internal troubles have actually reduced the company's strength a lot.
But there was nothing they could do. Facing Chen Mubai's conspiracy, they were powerless and could only try their best to appease their artists.
Fortunately, this time Tao Yaoyao's concert was so successful that some singers saw the light and held concerts one after another, and the profits were pretty good.
With Shen Meng's appeal and high probability of making money, the company agreed to hold this concert.
"Really!"
Shen Meng had just finished an announcement and was resting when she suddenly heard the news from her agent. She was shocked and extremely surprised.
"I just received the news. The company has already made a reservation with the government for you." The manager nodded happily: "They asked me to tell you that you must prepare for the concert with all your strength during this period. After the time and location are decided, Then it can be held as scheduled.”
"Now the company will prepare for your concert and start promoting it!"
Shen Meng's face was filled with joy: "Finally, I've been waiting for this concert. I must practice hard and face the fans with the best attitude!"
She had been waiting for this concert for several years, and finally had the opportunity to do so. She was filled with joy beyond words.
"However, how could the company suddenly agree to this matter? I haven't mentioned it recently after being rejected before." After Shen Meng was happy, she couldn't help but have some questions.
The manager said: "Before, it was because the music industry was generally in a sluggish state. Basically, concerts were losing money. During that period, no one held concerts anymore."
"Furthermore, after Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao came out, the rest of the singers were greatly impacted. In the past two years, after Chen Mubai and Tao Yaoyao entered the film and television industry, coupled with their previous influence, the music industry has been greatly affected. After the recovery, they don’t focus on music career, but they allow other singers to enjoy this wave of dividends.”
"That's true." Shen Meng nodded.
Although she hates Chen Mubai, she has to say that the emergence of Chen Mubai has indeed brought great changes to the music industry. Many of his songs have become popular, which has improved the entire industry and ignited the public's love and enthusiasm for music. expect.
Since "Dream Singer" became popular, many music variety shows and talent shows have emerged one after another. It is because of the appearance of Chen Mubai that everyone wants to discover other outstanding musicians.
In recent years, many talented singers have emerged. Of course, compared with Chen Mubai, they are far behind. After all, he is the man that even Zhou Junjie admires!
"Although music has been very popular in the past two years, because of the relationship between the company and Chen Mubai, they dare not hold a concert rashly, fearing that Chen Mubai will interfere with it." The manager continued.
"However, now that he has decided to cooperate with companies such as Times Media to shoot movies, he no longer has the energy to take care of this matter. Only then does the company dare to let you hold a concert to avoid being attacked by him."
After the agent learned the whole story from the top management, he told Shen Meng.
This was also the intention of the higher-ups, who euphemistically expressed why they did not allow her to hold the concert so late. It was not that they did not take her seriously, but that Chen Mubai posed too great a threat.
The relationship between Shen Meng and Chen Mubai is very bad. Once given the opportunity, Chen Mubai will not let go of the opportunity for revenge.
Shen Meng also knew this in his heart.
The manager's explanation made Shen Meng silent.
Although I don't agree with the senior management's approach, I have to accept what they say is indeed right.
Once Chen Mubai knew that she was going to hold a concert, there would be too many ways to deal with her, enough to make her lose all her money.
Even this is trivial. The money lost was paid by the company. What I fear most is the loss of reputation. This is more serious than losing money directly.
If the money is gone, you can make it again. Even if you do commercial performances, announcements, endorsements, etc., you can make a lot of money. After all, fame is here.
Once her concert is targeted and the attendance rate is extremely low, the outside world will make many interpretations of her fame. After all, the size of the audience at the concert also represents the singer's own popularity and fans' purchasing power.
Once the data is too poor, it will have a great impact on her reputation, and may even cause Shen Meng's net worth to drop, which will also have an impact on the price of her future announcements!
The reason why the senior management asked the manager to report this matter was to clear the gap in Shen Meng's heart, and not to prevent her from leaving the company if she was dissatisfied with the company because of the concert.
Shen Meng's contract will expire in a few years. If she does not agree to renew the contract in advance, Starway will once again lose a first-line singer, which will make things worse for Starway.
After all, this can be regarded as Xingcheng's method to win people's hearts.
"It's a double happiness this time!" the manager laughed happily.
"Sister Meng, if your concert can be held, there will definitely be many fans to support you. Your fans have always wanted to see your concert, and their wish has come true."
"In addition, Chen Mubai is going to be unlucky this time. He takes over a Hong Kong film. Not to mention us, even netizens are not optimistic about him. This time he will definitely fail and lose money, and his reputation will also be affected!"
Shen Meng smiled: "I hope so."
"During this period, I have to concentrate on preparing for the concert. If you need anything, please tell me."
Shen Meng said to the agent.
The agent is from Starway Entertainment. Currently, the interests of the two are tied together, but that may not be the case in the future.
If she changes jobs, she and her agent will fall apart. She also knows the meaning of what her agent said just now, which is to appease her.
See it through but don't tell it clearly. When the time comes, we will see if there is a better place to go. If there is a better place, you can leave. If not, continue to renew the contract. This will also make Starway pay more attention to her.
For her at present, this concert is her biggest bargaining chip and capital. Whether it is her internal voice, status or the signing of the next contract, it is also an opportunity to show herself to the outside world. If other entertainment companies value her , there may not be a company poaching her.
Starway is indeed in crisis, but a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If there is no better place to go, she doesn't want to leave Starway. All she has to do is see if a company comes to poach her.
Soon, Starway Entertainment issued an announcement.
[Chen Meng’s solo concert is about to take place. She has made a lot of efforts for this concert, all in order to bring beautiful songs to the public...]
A soft article appeared, and Shen Meng's personal WeChat also forwarded the incident.
As well as her friends in the circle and Starway artists, they all forwarded messages to support her.
The speeches of these celebrities have made this matter more popular. Many people know that Shen Meng will hold a concert soon, and many people express their expectations.
"Come on Chen Meng, I really like your songs!"
"I like your voice and have been waiting for your concert for several years..."
"The timing of this concert is a bit clever. I didn't dare to announce it before. Was it because I was afraid of being sniped by Chen Mubai?"
"Chen Mubai just announced the new movie, and Shen Meng announced the concert. It can be seen that she is afraid of him and wants to take a detour!"
"Speaking of which, Chen Mubai has composed so many beautiful songs, and he hasn't sang for us on stage for a long time. I really want to see one of his concerts!"
"1. I also want to see Chen Mubai sing. I'll go to his WeChat account to urge him and let him know about Shen Meng's concert. Let's see what he does!"
"How bad are you? You want Chen Mubai to snipe Shen Meng in order to hold a concert and then achieve the purpose of listening to songs? But I like it very much, I will do the same, count me in, hehe!"
The news about Shen Meng's concert became more popular, which had a big impact on Chen Mubai's previous filming of "Infernal Affairs", and the popularity of the movie quickly subsided.
However, Tao Yaoyao has made another big move. She will release a new song "faded"!
Everyone knows "fade", what the hell is "faded"?
Later, Tao Yaoyao explained to everyone that "faded" was the lyrics for "fade". It was originally just a piece of pure electronic music, but it transformed into a song!
The popularity of this incident instantly suppressed the popularity of Shen Meng's concert and became the focus of the entire network's attention.
Even the news of writing the lyrics for "Fade" spread abroad, causing countless people to discuss it!
Shen Meng's popularity disappeared even after half a day. The headlines that Starway Entertainment spent a huge amount of money to seize were just gone. I feel like crying without tears!
Not to mention Xingcheng was speechless, even Shen Meng was dumbfounded.
Cheng Yaojin shows up in this half day?
Finally, because of the last hot search about the concert, coupled with the operation of Starway, I originally thought it was very stable, building momentum for the concert and increasing its influence, but it was suppressed in an instant!
In fact, no one was talking about the concert, they were all talking about the song "faded"!
