Comeback [entertainment]

Qin Huo was making a big joke. After repeatedly confirming that he was not drunk, Yuanshang hurried to the company and saw Qin Huo's drafted documents, still feeling baffled.

Even Assistant Mu was puzzled by this, because of the release of Yuanshang's album, the current situation of the group's tradable shares is just right, and it can be said that it is rising like the sky.From the point of view of the shareholders, it is common sense to cover your pockets and make a fortune in silence at this time. As a result, Qin Huo not only paid for 150 million shares out of his own pocket, but also took advantage of the situation to raise the price. It's like the way he usually deals with other people in the mall.

There is no problem with the contract, and the price is very reasonable. Yuanshang is very excited. After all, as an artist, it is very beneficial for his own development to be able to get shares in the group.

There is an essential difference between the identity of a shareholder and a signed artist, resource allocation, group contacts, and the right to speak in some matters.Taken together, these nuances can be the key to many things.At the beginning, Yuanshang planned to set up a studio, and there were some reasons why he wanted to jump out of the status of an ordinary artist.It is useless for the Chinese music circle to rely on him alone to make a name for himself, and no matter how outstanding the circle is, it is impossible to rely solely on one person to support it.Nowadays, in the European, American, Japanese and Korean music circles with the most cultural output in the world, there are always a few god-level seniors who are different from ordinary singers, but can you say that without them, the music circle in their country will collapse?

Will not.

For any circle to inherit and continue, it relies on an endless stream of new blood.

But can you say that the decline of Chinese music is because there is no new blood?

No, the rise of countless kings and queens in that era and the refresh of countless record sales are enough to prove that there is no shortage of talented singers and creators in the music world.Even in today's declining music scene, from Yuan Shang's recent observations, there are still many excellent singers with dreams in the music circle, but they have not been able to get the glory worthy of their talents.

They persevere under tremendous pressure, and even pay out of their own pockets to complete the work, because the company does not provide money and resources, and even carry a contract to survive in order to do business.They sell clothing, become online merchants, and do catering. Those who are clearly purely pursuing art bend their waists for five buckets of rice. They are also musicians. Yuanshang can almost empathize with their despair when they are fighting for their dreams.Don't they work hard?That's not the case, but they still can't succeed. This is a problem with the overall Chinese music scene.

Piracy, the Internet, vicious marketing, production chaos... There are too many problems involved, and they are powerless to solve them even if they know about them.Piracy prevents albums from being sold, and the Internet is full of free audio sources. Singers who sing seriously are not enough to attract attention, but crazy marketing can drive fans to consume.So the vicious cycle started, the company could not earn money by making music seriously, so they allocated half or more of the funds originally put in the album to purchase marketing. This kind of breaking away from the traditional practice just allowed them to taste the sweetness, and as time passed...

Presumably someone tried to improve this confusion, so the Internet launched virtual albums in addition to physical records, and the music scene in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea escaped disaster, but this move obviously had little effect in China.The serious problem of piracy has led to the fact that most citizens do not have the concept of consuming cultural industries. As for whether producers will starve to death due to lack of income, this is not within the scope of their consideration.

Piracy starves producers to death, but feeds too many unscrupulous platforms that rely on blood-sucking for a living. To ban piracy is to take away their jobs.Their forces are intertwined, and there are a large number of unscrupulous fans who have benefited from the Overlord's Meal in order to continue to fight back without paying for it in the future. Compared with them, the strength of any individual is too small and too small.Even though he has some reputation and affirmation now, Yuanshang dare not say that he can solve this fundamental problem that has been entrenched in the Chinese music scene for decades with a wave of his arms. He wants to open a studio, nothing more than the first step of hard work step only.

However, it is not so easy to run a studio. Apart from his talents, he has no contacts, channels or even employees in the music circle. Everything can only be started from scratch.During the contract period, he may still be able to borrow the capital of the world, but after the five-year contract period, he will truly become a lonely family.The original is not without pressure, five years enough to do what?The Four Seas Group started from Qin Huo's father's generation, and it has been decades since, and it can't be said that it is the only one in the industry, let alone a small studio with no foundation.

But when the boss of this studio can own part of the shares of the Four Seas Group, the situation will immediately look different.

Yuanshang carefully read the contract, feeling overwhelmed. From Sihai’s investment in music production in recent years, he can see that Qin Huo’s philosophy has something in common with him. It is really rare to have the opportunity to meet friends with the same career outlook. For one thing, even his close friend Yu Shuimiao may not dare to say that the three views are completely consistent.just the price...

Yuanshang sighed, 150 million shares, and the stock price per share was more than 40 yuan. Qin Huo even offered the floating price of individual shares for charity, but for Yuanshang today, it is still a huge sum of money.Although he did make some money out of the album, it was far from that amount.

He hesitated whether he could borrow some from Yu Shuimiao, but although his old friend has been doing some business these years, it is a bit too much to ask for tens of millions. Sell ​​a few suites.Asking an old friend to sell a house to subsidize his own investment, Yuan Shang asked himself that he could not do such a thing.

After hesitating for only two seconds, Qin Huo on the opposite side asked, "What's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with the contract? You can bring it up."

If you can even pick out dissatisfaction with such a contract, then you are really greedy. Yuan Shang shook his head and said truthfully: "Your offer is very good, and I am also very tempted, but it is such a large sum of money..."

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Qin Huo felt a little happy for some reason, as if he had grasped Yuanshang's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, and he was a little closer to this person.However, he still knows the economic conditions of the original, and he never thought that he could ask him to take out more than 6000 million at once. Meaning: "It's simple, don't you want to open a studio? After the contract expires, the studio will be separated from the company. The group's stock price will remove part of the cash, and the other part will be injected into your studio. If there is not enough, you can use During the contract period, your personal income will be deducted."

Yuanshang was stunned for a moment, and his expression looked a little naive: "The group wants to control my studio?"

Qin Huo stared at his face, thinking a little slowly. It took a while to realize what Yuanshang was worried about. For some reason, his heart became oppressed by the other party's doubts, and his brows frowned: "It's just ordinary capital injection, you Do you still want to go it alone in China? After the capital injection, Sihai can share with you the music team, international resources and even the overseas market of Hurricane Records. This is just to ensure close cooperation between the two parties. I can also let go of part of the management rights of the group's music department. You, mutual benefit."

It was as if pie was falling from the sky. Yuanshang was silent for a long time, and met Qin Huo's indifferent but sincere eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he still couldn't help asking: "Mr. Qin, why do you treat me so favorably?" ?”

why?

Qin Huo was stunned by this question, why?It seems that they just subconsciously want to do this, subconsciously want to tie down the rebellious wild horse in front of them.The decision to sell shares was made suddenly, but he has not regretted the slightest until now in the negotiation stage. There is an explanation that he dare not touch in the depths of his heart. Qin Huo tried hard to find the logic he wanted, and finally said: "Because you are excellent."

What?Yuan Shang never thought that he could get such straightforward appreciation from this mouth, so he couldn't help but tilt his head, thinking that he had heard wrong.

Qin Huo only felt that he had found a reason that made him very convincing.He looked at the fluffy and swaying hair on the top of Yuanshang's head when he turned his head sideways, and the rarely calm expression on his face, his gaze softened a little.Yes, Yuan Shang is so good, I just admire a good person, what's so strange?

Assistant Mu outside the door overheard this, and couldn't help but groan, he really couldn't imagine how his boss could say such nasty words with that dead face.His whole body was numb, as if his back was itching, while complaining, he felt something was wrong in his heart.

A strange thought flashed by, and soon disappeared.

********

In such a short period of time after his debut, he has received so many professional affirmations. The speed at which Yuanshang became popular is quite rare in the entertainment industry. It will be released soon, and many media are speculating on what Yuanshang will do next.Are you going to release an album and sing?Or will the focus turn to film and television?

Many people speculated that it was the latter. After all, there are too few singers who rely solely on singing for a living these days. Most of the people who do this are either already popular or have no way out.There is no other reason, making music does not make money!Even making music in China is not easy to become popular. Who in the entertainment industry doesn't want to be popular?Who doesn't want to make money?Who doesn't want to have countless endorsements by big names?People go to high places, and the singers who can't live and die go to film variety shows and act in plays. After standing up a few times like this, everyone follows suit.

Yuanshang now has awards, works, and popularity, but the endorsement and nationality are still a bit short.But he is still young, he has the opportunity to fight hard, and the world is willing to support it. It depends on the upsurge of major companies investing in the production of albums brought by him recently. No one knows how high this person can stand in the end. The law draws conclusions.

The reporters tried their best to dig up the news, squatting downstairs in the company and in the crews of the major recently started productions. Countless informants were mobilized. day, still nothing.Just when they were at a loss, the Four Seas Group suddenly realized their conscience and took the initiative to drop an earth-shattering news.

Yuan Shang's personal studio was established!

Not only established, but also open!

Not just for business!He also released news that he was going to sign a contract to train artists.

The establishment of studios by artists during the signing period has always been the patent of those artists who have signed contracts with overseas companies and returned to China to develop. There has not been a precedent for domestic companies to allow this.Therefore, as soon as the news came out, one stone immediately stirred up waves and caused great repercussions.The media are afraid that the world will not be chaotic and speculate that it turns out that this is a breakup with the Four Seas Group?It is enough to kick off the company and go it alone after becoming popular.

However, before such negative conjectures were confirmed, the Four Seas Group organized a clarification conference.The press conference not only pointed out the cooperative relationship between Yuanshang's personal studio and Sihai Group, but also publicly confirmed that Yuanshang's personal studio does have plans to sign contracts and release artists.

Yuan Shangdao: "I have always dreamed that the Chinese music scene will become better and better, and I also hope that more like-minded people will work hard with me. The power of individuals is too weak. Only the unity of all musicians can truly change this market. .”

The media at the scene seemed to understand these words, but they could vaguely feel the huge power and ambition contained in them. After they published the truth, the responses they received were not the same.

******

All the veins in Jiang Xie's body were boiling, Yuanshang's words made him easily regain his original intention of making music.The press conference was so solemn and solemn, Yuanshang was surrounded by countless media and talked freely, the expression on his face was full of confidence and affirmation, and his whole body exuded a light of faith.Let the music scene rise up, let Chinese music occupy a place in the world, such a lofty and beautiful ideal, I once had it.Jiang Xie clenched his fists tightly, his fingertips were trembling, but a soft sound rang in his ears, so easily shattered his dream——

——Song Tian, ​​the chairman of Mingcheng Film and Television, snorted coldly, put the teacup on the table, and with a cigar in his mouth, said in an indistinct voice, "Arrogance."

"That's right, it's obvious that he forgot who he is after winning some prizes abroad!" Jiang Xie's manager hurriedly lit a cigarette for him respectfully with a spray gun, and commented bitterly, "Jiang Xie some time ago They still use him as a role model. These young people just don’t know the heights of the heavens and the earth. You said that he has won awards, and the world has resources. He can sing his own songs, shoot movies, receive commercials, and make money. He has to do it. These moths."

Song Tian snorted softly: "He's smart, he has to give the company a share of the filming and singing, can it be the same as doing it alone? Look at what he said, but it's actually..."

Jiang Xie sneered at their shallowness and utilitarianism in his heart. How could these businessmen who only see money in their eyes understand the lofty ideals of a person with pursuit?

Song Tian's younger brother, Song Gao, is a lover, and he also disapproved of what his brother and Jiang Xie's manager said: "You guys think too dirty about people, Yuan Shang is really a very ideal person, I have heard All his songs! If he is so worthless, and Chairman Qin is not blind, why bother to praise him? Don't just know money and money all day long."

Song Tian looked at him, as if he was looking at a child, with a helpless and contemptuous expression on his face: "What do you think Si Hai has invested in records without asking for returns every year? Yuanshang can make money, Qin Huoqian Why not praise him? You even agreed to the absurd request of opening a studio, just to hold such a profitable artist firmly in your hands, you are too young, you know your ideals every day, can your ideals be eaten? ? In this society, who doesn’t love money?”

******

Ren Pingsheng looked at the calm and high-spirited person on the screen, and his words could fill the whole body of the audience with his words.As if being held in his heart by a long-lost force, Ren Pingsheng vaguely felt the mood he felt when he stepped on the red carpet of the Connaught Music Festival a few years ago.How did you feel at that time?I am excited to be shortlisted for the Super Music Festival Awards, and I am grateful to Zhao Guan who has been silently contributing behind the scenes, and I am proud that I can go abroad to represent Chinese music and be recognized by others... At that time, I was just young, like an eagle with wings. , Looking at the sky, full of expectations for the future and a sense of responsibility for this industry.

To make better achievements to give back to the society, to make the world no longer have prejudice against Chinese music...

He sighed, waking up from the memories of his youth, Zou Min came down from upstairs with the script in his arms, and smiled sweetly: "Yo, you are awake, hurry up and recite the lines, the role I have been working on with the management for a long time, you You have to work hard."

"Okay." Ren Pingsheng stood up with a smile and turned off the computer.

The remaining vitality was throbbing in my mind, and soon because I didn't have the idea to keep it, it was lost bit by bit.

Young, Ren Pingsheng sighed in his heart and shook his head, life is life, and dreams are dreams.

******

Some people are prejudiced, and others are naturally encouraged.

People who love art are mostly pure. Although many people like Jiang Xie are forced by life to pursue their ideals unrestrainedly, most of them just lack an opportunity for them to make up their minds.Those who have music dreams in their hearts have been persisting under heavy pressure, and even worked hard to make money from various channels and finally invested in their own music production. They can move forward in a dark environment, not to mention Yuanshang enlightened them. Such a bright and fiery road.

Countless musicians contacted the studio through various channels and wanted to sign a contract, singing, composing, composing, playing musical instruments... all kinds of things, some fell down to sell and sing on the street, and some are still under contracts with other companies Qin Huo picked a few managers from the company's music department to help the studio temporarily, so that Yuanshang would not be as busy as he used to be every day.

The artist in his hand became a part of the boss overnight. Sun Hanqing was a little panicked at first, but he soon found that Yuan Shang still treated him the same way as before, and the work content he was responsible for was the same, so he slowly adapted to it. .The cost of the studio was huge, and Yuanshang had overdrawn his salary with the company in order to buy the shares of Sihai. So even though he became the boss, he did not dare to let go of his work, and the burden on his shoulders was even heavier than before.

Fortunately, he is in pain but also happy, and he doesn’t find it hard to fight for the cause he loves. In order to better help the studio to promote, he even learned to use social software in his busy schedule. He loves to use Sun Hanqing's mobile phone to browse Weibo.The development of the times has brought the distance between idols and fans closer. He remembers that when he hadn’t retired in his last life, fans who liked him would often send them handwritten letters. When he was free, he loved a letter. Opening the envelope, most of the handwriting on the thin letter paper is graceful and beautiful, and those words of encouragement and appreciation can easily cheer him up when he is extremely tired.

Being liked by others is really a beautiful and happy feeling. Yuanshang believes in the word fate. The world is so big and crowded, but so many people are looking at him.After ten years of cultivation, I can cross the same boat, and after a hundred years of cultivation, I can sleep together, and I am loved by so many people, so what can I do?

Sun Hanqing told him that many celebrities hate contact with fans, which made him unable to understand the psychology no matter how he thought about it.

Fans were clamoring for him to post a selfie, so he obediently posted one, posted it for a few minutes, and instantly received countless comments.

"Ahhhhhhhh male god you are my forever male god!!!!!!"

Yuan Shang replied to her: "Thank you."

"Grab the front row!!! I want to skip class and catch up with my original itinerary!!!!"

Yuanshang frowned, and clicked: "Students must study hard and not skip class."

"Ahhh, brother Yuan, you are so handsome!!!! Brother Yuan, I love you, I want to empty my wallet for you, I want to buy gifts for you!!!!"

It's so cute, Yuanshang smiled and typed: "I don't have any presents I want, just write to me when you have time."

"Brother!!! Don't be too tired!! Work hard!!! The song is so good!!!!"

Yuan Shang replied: "Thank you, I will work hard."

"Yuan Shang, what are you doing?" He was typing slowly here (please don't expect too much from the typing speed of an old man who writes songs with pen and paper), Sun Hanqing came in from outside the house, looked at it, and immediately widened his eyes, " Fuck, you're so lazy, why the fuck are you replying to fans' comments?"

Artists mostly rely on comments to win over fans when their popularity is low, and there are very few who do this after becoming popular. The fans below are blown up because of his reply to the comments, and they are all so happy that they read the text like they are running wild , Yuanshang felt nothing: "Aren't you waiting for the brand manufacturer? Anyway, I'm fine, just chatting with everyone."

Sun Hanqing felt that he really brought a treasure, but he couldn't think of anything to refute the other party's logic, so he could only say helplessly: "It's up to you, just don't reveal work-related topics."

Seeing that Yuanshang really turned his head and then slowly interacted with the fans, Sun Hanqing looked at him helplessly and interestingly. He had brought many artists in the past, and Yuanshang was really the most special one among them.This man looked quite proud when he was not popular, with a tough body, and he was not half short when he was face to face with Qin Huo.But now it’s popular, but it doesn’t show arrogance at all. Some of the artists who come to the studio for interviews sell and sing in the subway so poorly that their shoes are unglued, but Yuanshang can play guitar and chat with them for half an hour. Sometimes being chased by paparazzi doesn’t make you angry, and you buy milk tea for them, and when you meet fans downstairs in the company, they even touch their heads and ask if they are students trying to persuade them to go home... Sun Hanqing still doesn’t know whether he is arrogant or down-to-earth I'm angry.

Yuanshang seemed to have a special magical power, which made him laugh when he looked at it, and couldn't help being happier when he thought of today's work.Yuanshang hasn't memorized the endorsement until now, and the business must be done well. Some time ago, Sun Hanqing has been running a luxury brand. The men's clothing spokesperson contract of this brand in the domestic area is about to expire. Many male artists' managers have also contacted him. At the same time walking the door.It may be infected by his long-term sincerity and persistence, or it may be the reason why he was blessed with the Kensington Award and has a good reputation in the fashion circle. In short, the selected date is approaching, and the brand owner finally made an appointment with him. Just now When discussing the details of the cooperation, the other party also showed sincerity. Even the 600 million endorsement fee offered by Sun Hanqing, the other party seemed to have no objection.

Yuanshang has excellent communication skills, and the person in charge sent by the other party quickly got along with him, and the two parties even exchanged private contact information.The various clauses are also very thoughtful, and the brand owner looks like he can't wait to sign the contract directly.As the intention of writing was approaching, they said that they would call the company again to confirm. If there is no objection, we will cooperate happily in the future.The fact that the other party can say this kind of thing means that the cooperation is basically inseparable. Sun Hanqing heard it in his ears, how could he be unhappy?

Although the international positioning of this luxury brand is only light luxury, but the domestic marketing is good, and the style is by no means inferior to ordinary luxury brands.What's more, it's not a pheasant job, but a proper domestic spokesperson. The first advertisement on the original site can receive such a high price of 600 million yuan. Basically, the positioning in the future will not be bad.To get such a result, it will be worth all the hard work before. After the advertisement comes out, Yuanshang's worth will definitely soar again, and by then, the resources in all aspects of film and television songs will be further improved.The cost of the studio is huge, and Yuanshang has been carrying a lot of hard work. Sun Hanqing is very happy to help a person with ideals do something.

The brand representative finished the phone call and returned to the office.

Yuanshang stopped replying to fans' comments, raised his head and resumed a steady and reliable working state, Sun Hanqing was about to greet them with a smile, saw their faces completely different from when they went out, and his heart skipped a beat.

"How is your negotiation with the company?" Sun Hanqing smiled nervously, "...If there are any terms that need to be revised, we can continue..."

"Mr. Sun, Mr. Yuan, what... I'm sorry." Hearing Sun Hanqing's words, the other party looked extremely embarrassed, several people looked at each other, and the person in charge said, "The company said that there are already suitable I chose, let me say sorry to you, and we will cooperate again in the future."

"What!? At first, didn't you say you hadn't made up your mind?!" Sun Hanqing stood up in astonishment. He felt that he had been deceived and could hardly control his emotions. He was pulled by Yuanshang before he regained his senses. Struggling to swallow the accusation.

Yuanshang seemed unaffected at all, still smiling gracefully: "It's okay, as you said, we can cooperate in the future. It is also fate that we can meet and chat for a day."

His attitude made the person in charge of the other party feel better immediately, and because of this, he showed more guilt. When the two parties parted, the person in charge couldn't hold back, and quietly pulled him aside——

——"Mr. Yuan, in fact, we didn't want to play tricks on you. Before we came here, the company did say that we had the intention of cooperating with you. It's just that the guy who intercepted Hu also talked for a long time, and he had a way out, and he even lowered his net worth to 200 million. ...I'm really sorry."

Vicious competition?Yuanshang smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Is it convenient to reveal who it is?"

This news should not be disclosed casually, but he and Yuanshang got along just now and they really matched each other.The other party looked at both sides of the eyeballs, made sure there was no one there, and then said mysteriously: "You probably know him too, it is the Ren Tianwang, Ren Pingsheng."
