Entertaining Children

  Chapter 366 AMG's Decision

"Okay," Lu Rongtian threw the pen he was playing with onto the file folder in front of him, sat up straight, and said with a straight face, "Let's talk about the old man Xiao Chengru of their family first. He's almost in his 70s. Yandian’s guest professors and lecturers have many old students, and in terms of his own artistic achievements, he is about to become our China National Treasure-level performance artist. You suppress his son and grandson without him speaking, you know acting How many people in the circle will target us?"

"I know what you are going to say." Seeing Guo Changlin about to speak, Lu Rongtian waved his hand to stop him, and then said, "The old man belongs to the show business circle, and he can't control our music circle, right? Well, let's just Talk about things in the music world."

"Xiao Siqi, the music circle is firmly in the position of a top-line star, a king-level character, and a creator himself. There are so many singers in our company, but no one can compare it with a single one? Shen Yinan, a veteran creator and producer He is a man, and his status in the circle is superb. He is even better than Xiao Siqi in terms of creation and production. Now that he is getting older, he has gone to Xiao Siqi to take refuge, but if he really wants to work hard, how many people in the circle will stand among them Which side? And they both came from China Entertainment. Although Xiao Siqi can be regarded as self-employed with his wife, he still has a very close relationship with China Entertainment. Many single albums are released in cooperation with China Entertainment. We do. It's a big company, but the China Entertainment behind them is no smaller than us, right?"

"Finally, the one you didn't like was Xiao Yao, who was only a slightly famous Star II." Lu Rongtian continued, "Have you heard of the evil deeds when you were a child? Haven't heard of it in too long? It doesn't matter, people. Now it’s even more enchanting. Let’s not talk about the music aspect. Acting, three years ago Feitian's best newcomer. Shen's two top picks in the opera examination, showed the examiners in the examination room to crying great people. Photography, he is already an international photographer Yes. I have been a live photographer for the Eva show, and have appeared in various professional photography and fashion magazines abroad, which can already cover our big conference table. In China, he was a member of the national men's basketball team the previous year. The photographer for the official image of the World Championships is still the line that Chen Yang strongly recommended to the Basketball Tube Center and personally pulled it."

Seeing the silly people in the conference room, Lu Rongtian smiled and continued: "The last is the music aspect that has the greatest relationship with us. I don’t need to talk about the youngest and most prize winner in the history of the Golden Disc Awards. He has also been a guest performer on the Oscar awards stage abroad, and his work has been ranked in the top three on the billboard in the United States. In China, in addition to the awards, the women’s band he tinkered with, and his song "The New Royal Concubine" "Drunk", all contributed to the promotion and promotion of our traditional Chinese folk music culture. Why can his song beat so many old people in the circle to get the most important song of the year? That has the meaning of ZZ. Inside. He also wrote "Yenjing Indigenous" and "Playing", which are songs with the characteristics of our old Yanjing culture, as well as the "Great Wall" that has the same name as our country's eight wonders some time ago. Carrying forward the spiritual heritage of our country. Those old guys in the system like to go online the most, and what he likes is his talkative stuff. Not to mention others who are righteous and brave young people who have been on social news, whether they are The city is still in the ministry, and his name has long been registered with the bigwigs in charge of culture."

   "Even if the people above like him, it is normal business competition for us. Without a proper reason, they can't intervene too much in administrative intervention, right?" Guo Changlin's momentum has already weakened a lot.

"Then talk about pure business." Lu Rongtian unconsciously picked up the pen and played with it again. "Let's talk about the media first. You don't know their urination. You always know where there is news. In the less than a year since returning to China as an exchange student last year, is he alone in the total number of entertainment news headlines for all the singers in our company?"

  "This..." Guo Changlin was a little confused.

"Let's talk about TV stations," Lu Rongtian said again, "Wang Yuan, the current director of the Variety Department of Shonan Satellite TV, watched that little evildoer as his nephew. Last year, at Shonan Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party, he and his company's artists performed on stage. There are five songs, and each song has his shadow. Zhedong Satellite TV, the fourth quarter of this year's "Good Voice" set a record, I heard that someone in this program group has proposed to invite Xiao Yao to come as a tutor this year Participated in this program. I was a student last year, and I became a tutor this year, and I am still a music tutor under twenty years old. Can you imagine? But some people on Zhejiang East TV really dare to think so. At least among the four major star TVs The two are thirsty for Xiao Yao, and the other two don’t know if Doba is watching him go to their show. Are you sure we can beat him?

  In addition to local channels, there is also CCTV. Maybe you don't know, that guy refused the Spring Festival Gala last year. But the Spring Festival Gala not only didn't say a word about him, but also sent him a substitute song of "The New Drunken Concubine" for selection. Last year's Spring Festival Gala, three groups of artists in their studio appeared on three shows, how many of our companies? Then there is the electronic program of Gong Chen. It was co-organized by CCTV Three and South Korean TV stations. Before Xiao Yao went, the single-term champions of China and South Korea in the first four phases were one to three. Later, Shazhou pulled Xiao Yao away and won three championships and one runner-up with his four songs in the three phases of the program. Evened the number of champions. Don't talk about Gong Chen's three championships. Before Xiao Yao went, Gong Chen had only one championship in the fourth phase, or the one who made her debut. Xiao Yao had two songs and she had two championships. Who do you think is the bigger reason?

  So, whether it’s CCTV or local stations, do you think you value Xiao Yao more or our company more? In "Good Voice", Shen Na and the program team said that Xiao Yao alone can account for one-third of the ratings. Our company has a lot of people, but you think our company can account for one-third of the entire Chinese music circle. One of them?"

"Then you mean, let's just forget it?" Guo Changlin said unwillingly. "Even if they are no better, this approach is too much, right? Even if you are dissatisfied with the scandal that we arbitrarily speculate Xiao Yao, you can still talk to us. Negotiate to solve it? We just smashed the contract termination fee to pry the people away. We also opened a press conference to publicly expose our shortcomings in front of the media. Didn't they do that?"

  Wang Jianzhang looked at the gossip newspaper scattered on the conference table, and nodded unconsciously.

"Who told us to have bad rules first?" Lu Rongtian said, "By the way, let me give you an inside story. When the "Good Voice" blind selection was recorded last year, the program team did not get the consent of Xiao Yao himself. In the case of, she cut the scene of her girlfriend confessing to him in the relatives and friends' room on the big screen. Later, Shen Na taught the program director a lesson. Afterwards, the program team also apologized to Xiao Yao for this matter, and Ask for his opinion on whether it can be edited and broadcast. When Xiao Yao disagrees, the whole very gimmicky scene really didn't appear on TV for a second."

  "So domineering at such a young age?" Many people in the conference room were speechless.

"It's not overbearing, but this guy is especially concerned about privacy." Lu Rong added, "Remember the illegitimate meal incident that year? He dared to send his fans to the police station, which shows how much he cares about his privacy. Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao have lived on each other for several years. Needless to say, the relationship between Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi is also the matchmaking for this precious son. Ye Jiaying has been married for so many years and has not had any children. In addition to rumors that Ye Jiaying has suffered physical injuries, Ye Jiaying also I once said in public that I don’t plan to have any more children. Xiao Yao is her son. She wants to give all of her mother’s love to Xiao Yao alone. Vent their son’s privacy? The parents who care for the calf have not rolled up their sleeves and **** with them. Get up? The "Good Voice" program group only went to Xiao Yao to apologize after hearing Shen Na tell them this."

   "Are there so many things in this?" Wang Jianzhang shook his head and exclaimed.

"That's all? More than that." Lu Rongtian said again, "Xiao Yao has a girlfriend. Her girlfriend is Sun Tingting, Sun Zhihao's daughter, and she is now studying at the Chambers Conservatory of Music in the United States. Liu Liu and many other top performers in the world. Who is Sun Zhihao? Yandian’s teacher, director, screenwriter, and producer have known each other for more than ten years. The two children grew up together. We only officially got together last year. Now, just two months after Sun Tingting went to the United States, we are making Xiao Yao’s scandal in China? If we don’t give us a ruthless look, how can the Xiao family confess to Sun Zhihao, how can Xiao Yao and him be far away in the United States? My little girlfriend confessed? Don’t say, let’s just make someone a positive star who is righteous and brave enough to become a scumbag in the eyes of netizens."

   "How do you know so much?" Guo Changlin has completely lost his temper. At this time, he can only look at Lu Rongtian with dissatisfaction, "And why have you never heard you tell me?"

"These are not many secret things in the circle. As long as you spend a little time inquiring and sorting out, it is not difficult to know." Lu Rongtian smiled, "Besides, you never asked me. Who knows you even Gong Chen is here? The video surveillance of the hotel entering and leaving Xiao Yao’s room and the photos of her entering and leaving Xiao’s house at night are both capable of getting them, but they don’t even do a little bit of work on the subject of her scandal?"

   "You!" Guo Changlin stared angrily at Lu Rongtian, who was obviously mocking himself.

"Okay," Wang Jianzhang waved his hand sullenly, stopped the fight between the two men, and looked at Lu Rongtian, "Old Road, since you have a clearer understanding of Xiao Yao and the Xiao family, then you say Say what we should do now."

"Okay, then I'll talk about it." Lu Rongtian said, "Don't look at the little guy Xiao Yao who looks mad and fierce, but he is still calm and sophisticated in his work. Although the press conference really caught us by surprise, But they did not completely block the way of reconciliation between us. In fact, he already said the solution at the press conference, and it depends on whether we can let go of this face."

   "Oh? Tell me more specifically." Wang Jianzhang said with interest.

"First of all, Gong Chen is gone. This is an established fact that cannot be changed. We can only accept it. Next is the scandal. They held this press conference and put us on the cusp of public opinion. After this time, I should have been out of breath. As long as everyone stops mentioning it, it will be considered as the past when the wind has passed. Anyway, in the entertainment industry, there is no news someday, and it will take a long time for everyone to forget. That's all right." Lu Rongtian said, "Now the key is the two songs. The worst thing to do is to send those two songs to other singers, so that Xiao Yao will die with us. He said that Gong Chen's version will be released for free so that everyone knows that Gong Chen is the original singer."

  "What about the good practice?" Wang Jianzhang then asked.

"In fact, Xiao Yao values ​​those two songs that were written for Gong Chen, and doesn't want us to give them to others, so as long as the original sings of the two songs are still Gong Chen." Lu Rongtian said with a finger. Our best choice is to continue to complete the promotion of this single according to the original plan and help Gong Chen to release the two songs. Xiao Yao said that as long as the promotion method is appropriate, Gong Chen can still cooperate with our single promotion. Anyway, this The copyright of the two songs is in our hands, and the single revenue is also ours. As for future commercial performances, since Gong Chen is no longer ours, then we can discuss with them a cooperative sharing agreement."

"Second choice," Lu Rongtian said with another finger, "If we feel that we can't save this face and talk about cooperation with Gong Chen and their studio so quickly, if we feel too embarrassed, we won't be too embarrassed anyway. Lacking the cost of pre-publicity preparation and the proceeds of the later singles, then be generous to sell them the copyrights of the two songs and let them distribute them for Gong Chen. At least they will not continue to be evil with them, and they will also be retained. The possibility of future cooperation."

"Of course," Lu Rongtian added with a smile, "You can also fight against them like Mr. Guo said. Let's put some blood, and it should still be possible for them to suffer a little loss. Yes, we don’t care anyway if we have a big business."

  For Lu Rongtian’s last sentence, everyone in the conference room rolled their eyes: “I know that you two are not in harmony, can you be more obvious?”

   "Old Road, why do you still say such strange things." Wang Jianzhang frowned and waved to Lu Rongtian, looking at the other people, "The first two choices, everyone express your opinion, which one shall we choose?"

  It may be that considering the current situation, it would be too embarrassing to cooperate with Qi Jia and Gong Chen. Most of the executives present expressed support for Lu Rongtian’s second choice.

"Then make a decision like this." Wang Jianzhang finally made a final decision, "Sell the copyright of those two songs back... don't sell it, let's be generous and return it to Xiao Yao. By the way, I will issue another apology. .. If you make a mistake, you must admit it. If you are beaten, you must stand upright. Although neither Qi Jia nor the media have said it clearly, who already knows that we have caused the scandal. Let’s just admit it, saying that the staff accidentally leaked the photos. Gossip from the media. Everyone knows what's going on anyway."

"And old Guo," Wang Jianzhang said to Guo Changlin again, "you are an old man in the company for more than ten years, and you are also an old world in the entertainment circle. It is reasonable to say that you should not make such a low-level mistake. This time. It's also a lesson. You must pay attention to it in the future. Before making any decisions, you must understand, especially all aspects of the other party. You said that this is a trouble... Well, let's end the meeting!"
