Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"He actually took over the SC Club! That's Qi Tianlin's territory!"

"Boss Li, it seems I, Old Fu, will have to call you Young Master Li from now on!"

Fu Chengguo and others were all well-known in the Lenghai world, so they naturally knew the value of the SC Club and were naturally amazed when they heard it.

The girls on Wei Ni's side, however, are pretty and have more or less some connections with the rich young men in Lenghai, so they also know what the SV and SC clubs are.

"Ah, he's actually a shareholder of the club, wow!"

"My ex-boyfriend is a member of the SV Club. I heard it's quite high-end. I didn't expect to meet a famous person from the club here!"

"SV means 'value, importance'. This club is not simple. I heard that if you can join it, the connections there will benefit ordinary people for life!"

Wei Ni listened to the discussion of the girls around her and felt confused:

Regarding Li Shuo’s achievements, she had only vaguely heard of a “Shuoguo Group” before. But now, listening to the conversations of these people, it seems that Li Shuo has a bigger background. Does he mean he is a super second generation?

Besides, isn't Shuoguo Group an ordinary company? How come Li Shuo can be on par with Fuchengguo?

No, they were not equals, because Li Shuo was the absolute core of this group of people. Everyone at the scene acted according to his instructions. His every move seemed to become very strange and carried an inexplicable majesty.

While Wei Ni was lost in thought, Fu Chengguo and the others finally got over the initial "flattery" and the content of the conversation gradually turned to substance.

"Mr. Li, Yunguo has been established for a month, and I have finally lived up to the high expectations and put up the framework..."

Fu Chengguo began to introduce Yunguo’s business and future development direction to Li Shuo.

Because he was mainly responsible for the soundtrack of film and television dramas before, and he was also mainly doing this at Century Huayue, so Yunguo's business, as Li Shuo expected, is still it.

Of course, with the addition of Tang Yunyi, Yunguo’s business is larger than that of Century Huayuelai.

Li Shuo did not treat it lightly just because its business overlapped with Century Huayue's, but listened carefully because he knew that Fu Chengguo and Tang Yunyi were both big names in the industry and the company they founded must have a profit point.

Sure enough, Li Shuo soon figured out the secret. In Fu Chengguo's plan, Yunguo's profit point was very stable: it would mainly undertake the dubbing of various film and television dramas of Leng Hai, and would also cooperate with Shuoguo Culture to carry out film and television drama packaging projects.

The so-called packaging means that all the production of a film or TV series will be done by Shuoguo Culture, including contracted artists, post-production, music and dubbing, etc. All talents of Shuoguo Culture can be used directly, and Yunguo is equivalent to an intermediary, responsible for matchmaking.

Don't underestimate this point, the reason why Shuoguo Culture has been developing slowly is because Li Shuo has been the only one providing blood transfusions, while the contracted artists under it are all "vampires". Currently, only Miss can bring in stable profits, and even the "ace" Jiang Mengjie comes to Lenghai to "eat and wait for death"!

Although this is the current situation of most cultural and entertainment companies, they only need to wait for an artist to take off so that they can support the company, but if they can find other profit growth points, that would naturally be the best thing!

It was because of this that Li Shuo chose to cooperate with Fuchengguo. If Yang Kangcheng could provide some well-known companies and large-scale cooperation projects with central state-owned enterprises to quickly expand the popularity and influence of Shuoguo Culture, then Fuchengguo could create small blood bags for Shuoguo Culture. Although the profit of each one is not large, on the one hand it can bring profits, and on the other hand it can also find something for its artists to do and expand their popularity.

After listening to it, Li Shuo praised repeatedly: "Mr. Fu is indeed an elite of the older generation, with experienced skills and steady actions. Li Shuo admires him. Come, let me toast you a glass!"

"Hahaha, Master Li, you're really too kind..."

The banquet began as Li Shuo raised his glass.

Afterwards, Tang Yunyi introduced Chen Zuojia and others to Li Shuo. Although Li Shuo had never heard of the name of this composer who was favored by Wei Ni, he naturally treated them with courtesy.

After a lively conversation, Tang Yunyi said, "Mr. Li, I intend to invite Writer Chen to be the music director of our Yunguo. However, it is difficult for us to estimate the value of music art. What conditions should we offer Writer Chen? In order to invite this industry master to join us?"

Fu Chengguo next to him chuckled, stretched out his hand and said to writer Chen: "Old Chen, stop wasting time. I'll give you 5 points. Come over here..."

Writer Chen looked at Li Shuo with a smile: "Thank you for your appreciation, bosses. I just wonder if Mr. Li has any suggestions?"

In an instant, Li Shuo understood that this was the "highlight" of why Fu Chengguo and others invited him here, and they would give writer Chen 5% of the shares!

Things like giving out shares naturally have to be brought to the shareholders' meeting. Since Yunguo currently has only three shareholders, and their rights and responsibilities are the same, naturally all three of them have to agree.

Now, Fu Chengguo and Tang Yunyi seemed to have agreed and were just waiting for him.

Logically speaking, Li Shuo should have believed in the vision of the two. Moreover, he did not think much of Yunguo at the beginning. He only regarded it as a bridgehead to enter the Lenghai cultural business circle, so he did not invest much money. Naturally, he would not suffer major losses due to wrong decisions.

However, when Li Shuo thought of Wei Ni, he felt unhappy: How much weight does a composer have to be valued by Wei Ni?

So he opened his mouth and said, "Well, Mr. Chen, forgive me for being frank, I don't know much about music, let alone film and television drama soundtracks. May I ask, have you reached the pinnacle of achievement in this field?"

Although the question was straightforward, it was a free share, so Writer Chen didn't mind. He thought for a moment and said:

"Mr. Li, you don't know that there is no peak in art. If we have to classify it into a level, perhaps I can only be called first-rate in the country... and there are no more than five top-tier composers in the country. Well, I mean those who can compose music for movies and TV shows..."

Li Shuo raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it music composition? It should be more convenient to measure it this way, right?"

Writer Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Within the framework of music, you can't just talk about the peak. There are so many top music composers, and there are even more below the first-rate. I can only be considered second-rate at best."

In one sentence, Li Shuo knew what was going on: a second-rate musician with a first-rate soundtrack? Although it was top-notch for Yun Guo, how about compared to me?

He asked abruptly: "What is considered a top streamer then? Do those people from Sony Music count?"

Writer Chen was stunned and said, "If you mean those original singers signed by Sony Music, then they are indeed world-class. Among them, those international divas are definitely the world's top stars!"

Is the relationship buddy already so powerful?

Li Shuo smacked his lips and was even more unwilling to give away shares for free.

He turned to Fu Chengguo and said, "Lao Fu, actually I have something to do today, but I just happened to pass by, so I stopped by to see you..."

Fu Chengguo and Tang Yunyi are very smart people: Li Shuo changed the subject like this, of course he was unwilling to give away shares.

As a startup company, the three major shareholders had a unified opinion. Fu Chengguo immediately realized, "That's what I was saying. Why did you come here so quickly? But since you're here, don't leave in a hurry. Let's have some fun together. By the way, you brought some people with you, didn't you? Hurry up and let Young Master Li take a look..."

"That someone" refers to Xie Haiyang. He forced a smile, responded, and turned to walk towards the KTV: With Li Shuo's identity exposed, his thoughts on Wei Ni were instantly extinguished!

Moreover, as a member of society, Xie Haiyang now feels that this is his chance. If he can give Wei Ni to this Mr. Li, maybe he can...

"Ahem, Wei Ni, come here and meet Master Li..."

On the other side, Tang Yunyi was setting the stage for the atmosphere: "I remember that Li Shao can also compose music and write lyrics, right? You wrote an original song in school, and that song was quite popular on the Internet..."

Writer Chen, who had been silent since Li Shuo changed the subject, couldn't help but interrupt and asked, "Oh? What song?"

Yunguo’s registered capital is 1 million yuan, and 5% of the shares are worth 500 million yuan, which is a lot for writer Chen, and is also the reason why he is willing to take the risk and join a startup company.

Now that Li Shuo seems to be rejecting the proposal outright, writer Chen naturally wants to "try hard". There are many ways to "try hard", such as currying favor, suppressing, or showing off one's own strength, but all of these require the conversation to be about "music".

Fu Chengguo continued, "The song is called 'Dala Bangba'. I didn't know it before, but later I searched carefully. Now it's in my phone. Writer Chen, do you want to listen to it? Can you give me some comments?"

Writer Chen was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Is it the song 'Dala Bangba' that was posted online three months ago? This song is of very good quality and can be called the song of the year. It turned out to be written by Li Shao?"

Li Shuo waved his hands and said modestly, "It was a long time ago. Now I have a new work called "Ordinary Disco". Has Writer Chen heard of it?"

"Ah? The song that was exposed at the Beijing Dance Academy?"

This time, writer Chen stood up suddenly with an expression of extreme shock.

His performance was so exaggerated that even Li Shuo asked curiously, "It's this, what's wrong?"

Writer Chen stared at Li Shuo intently. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile, "Ah, the younger generation is really catching up with the older generation. I really didn't expect that I would meet the top talent of the new generation in the industry at a party..."

"Ok?"

"what's the situation?"

"Writer Chen, can you explain clearly? How did Li Shuo become the number one talent?"

Fu Chengguo and the other man asked in unison, and even Li Shuo looked confused. What was going on?

Writer Chen sighed and said, "About a month ago, I heard that a divine song appeared in Beijing. It was called "Ordinary Disco". As soon as it appeared, it occupied all the KTVs in Beijing. Later, many music companies wanted to contact the author, mainly to release the song, but none of them obtained authorization. At that time, many companies wanted to release it first... Well, it was a pirated release. It doesn't matter as long as the victim doesn't pursue it..."

"This is quite common, and many production companies have done this before. But recently, these companies received a letter from Sony Music's lawyers, warning all those who pirated and released "Normal Disco". Some of them were even forced to recall the discs after they had already released the album. The loss was huge!"

"It was not until then that the people in the music association discovered that the author was valued by Sony Music and may have signed with this international giant now!"

Writer Chen looked at Li Shuo with a complicated expression and said, "I just said that among the domestic artists who can sign with Sony Music, all of them are top-notch! Mr. Li Shuo, I didn't expect that the author of this work is actually you... Actually, with a shareholder like you in Yunguo, why does it need an outsider like me? Forget it, Mr. Fu and Mr. Tang, thank you for your appreciation. Please don't mention this matter again, otherwise Old Chen will lose face..."

Fu Chengguo and Tang Yunyi were stunned. No matter how much they praised Li Shuo before, they never thought that Li Shuo could achieve such a high level of success in this area! They were like a blind man holding a lantern, and the light was dark!

The girls who were just called over by Xie Haiyang all burst into an uproar, and their beautiful eyes focused on Li Shuojun's face. Some of them had loose pockets and couldn't help but fantasize that if they could get the favor of this guy, even if they only had a little relationship with him, it would be extremely wonderful...

Only Wei Ni did not make a sound. Her mood was actually similar to that of the two bosses of Fu Chengguo: surprise, regret and other emotions surged up in her head, and she felt extremely complicated:

I watched Li Shuo compose the music, and I thought it was good, but why didn't I think he could achieve such success? What's funny is that when I was desperately asking Xie Haiyang for help, I also asked Li Shuo to help. It's really...

Li Shuo, on the other hand, was calm, though he was slightly surprised that Sony Music could act so quickly before signing the contract.

Seeing that Writer Chen was in tears, Li Shuo quickly reached out to support him and said loudly: "Writer Chen, please don't be like this. No matter what works I have, I am just a rising junior in the music industry and I don't deserve such a high evaluation from you. Moreover, I know that I still have many shortcomings. I would like to ask you and the seniors for advice in the future..."

At this point, he paused, then said firmly: "How about this, 2% of the shares in exchange for your contract as Yunguo Music's consultant, I wonder if you are willing? A consultant is not the same as a director, and you don't have to stay in the company all the time. You just need to come and supervise when there is a project."

After all, Li Shuo himself cannot stay in Yunguo for a long time, so it is necessary to hire a music talent for the company. However, he cannot give too much at once. He should first let Chen the writer be a consultant, and then slowly increase his shares after he has made achievements! This is the long-term way to retain talents!
