Entertaining Children

"Okay," Lu Rongtian threw the pen he was playing with on the folder in front of him, sat up straight, straightened his face and said, "Let's talk about their old man Xiao Chengru first. He is almost seventy, Yan Dian's guest professor and lecturer has a lot of acquaintances, and in terms of his own artistic achievements, he is almost becoming a performing artist at the national treasure level in China. You don't need him to speak out when you suppress his son and grandson, you know the performing arts How many people in the circle will target us?"

"I know what you're going to say," Lu Rongtian waved his hand to stop Guo Changlin when he saw Guo Changlin was about to speak, and continued, "The old man is in the entertainment industry, so he can't control our music industry, right? Well, let's just do it alone." Talk about things in the music industry."

"Xiao Siqi, a top-tier celebrity in the music industry, a king-level figure, and a songwriter himself. There are so many singers in our company, but no one can compare to just one of them? Shen Yinan, a veteran songwriter and producer He is a man, and his status in the circle is superior. In terms of creation and production alone, he is better than Xiao Siqi. Now that he is old, he has gone to Xiao Siqi's place to hide, but if he really works hard, how many people in the circle will stand up to them Which side? And both of them came from China Entertainment. Although Xiao Siqi and his wife have established themselves together, his relationship with China Entertainment is still very close. Many single albums are released in cooperation with China Entertainment. We really It's a big company, but the China Entertainment behind it is no smaller than us, right?"

"In the end, the one you said you didn't like was Xiao Yao, who was only a little famous second-generation star." Lu Rongtian continued, "Have you heard of the evil deeds when you were young? Haven't heard of it for a long time? It doesn't matter, people Now it’s even more evil. Let’s not talk about music. Acting, Fei Tian’s best newcomer three years ago. The two champions in the drama art exam. He showed the examiners crying in the exam room. Photography, he is already an international photographer. Yes. I have been the on-site photographer of the Eva show, and the works that have been featured in various professional photography and fashion magazines abroad can cover our big conference table. In China, he was a member of the national men’s basketball team in the previous year. The photographer for the official image publicity photo of the World Championships was strongly recommended by Chen Yang to the basketball management center and personally led the line."

Seeing the people in the conference room who were already listening to the stupid, Lu Rongtian continued with a smile: "The last is the music aspect that has the greatest relationship with us. I don't need to talk about the youngest winner of the Golden Disc Award in history and the winner of the most awards." ?He has also been a guest performer on the Oscar awards stage abroad, and his works have entered the top three on the US Billboard. In China, in addition to awards, the women's band he created, and his song "The New Royal Concubine" Drunken" all contributed to the promotion and promotion of our traditional Chinese folk music culture. Why did his song beat so many seniors in the circle to win the most important song of the year? That has ZZ significance Inside. There are also his "Yanjing Indigenous" and "Playing", which are songs with the characteristics of our old Yanjing culture, and the "Great Wall", which has the same name as the eight wonders of our country, is also It is promoting the spiritual heritage of our country. Those old guys in the system like to go online the most, and what they like are his talkative things. Not to mention that they are still young people who are brave and good who have been on the social news, whether it is The city is still the ministry, his name has already been registered with those bigwigs in charge of culture."

"Even if the people above like him, but we are in normal business competition, there is no suitable reason,

They can't intervene too much in administrative intervention, can they? "Guo Changlin's momentum has weakened a lot.

"Then let's 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 urine, they always go where there is news. In the less than a year since the exchange students returned to China last year, have all the singers in our company made headlines in entertainment news as many times as he alone?"

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

"Let's talk about the TV station," Lu Rongtian said again, "Wang Yuan, the head of the Variety Department of Shonan Satellite TV, watched that little monster as his nephew. Last year at Shonan Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party, he performed on stage with artists from the same company. He has played five songs, and each song has his shadow. Zhedong Satellite TV, this year's "The Voice" season four has set a record in ratings. I heard that someone in this program group has suggested that Xiao Yao be invited to come as a mentor this year. Participated in this program. I was a student last year, and this year I became a tutor, and I am still a music tutor under the age of 20. Can you imagine? But there are really people in Zhedong Satellite TV who dare to think so. Among the four major satellite TVs, at least Two are eager for Xiao Yao's talents, and the other two don't know that Doba is looking at him to participate in their programs. Are you sure we can win him?

In addition to local stations, there is also CCTV. Maybe you don't know, that guy rejected the Spring Festival Gala last year. But the Spring Festival Gala not only didn't say a word about him, but also chose a song he sent as a substitute for "The Drunken Concubine". In the Spring Festival Gala last year, three groups of artists from their studio appeared on three shows, how many in our company? Then there is Gong Chen's electronic music program. It was co-organized by CCTV 3 and South Korean TV stations. Before Xiao Yao went, in the first four episodes, the single-stage champion ratio between China and South Korea was one to three. Later, Shazhou pulled Xiao Yao away, and followed his four songs in the three episodes to win three championships and one runner-up. Evened the number of champions. Don't talk about Gong Chen's three championships. Before Xiao Yao went, Gong Chen participated in four rounds and only had one championship. It was the one that debuted. Xiao Yao had two songs and she had two championships. Who do you think is the bigger reason?

So whether it is CCTV or a local station, do you think you value Xiao Yao more or our company? In "The 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 do you think our company can account for one-third of the entire Chinese music circle? one of them?"

"Then what do you mean, let's just leave it like this?" Guo Changlin said unwillingly, "Even if they are awesome, this approach is too much, right? Even if you are dissatisfied with the scandal that we fired Xiao Yao without authorization, you can still fight with us." Negotiate a solution? Just smash the termination fee to pry people away, and even hold a press conference to expose our shortcomings in front of the media. Didn’t they do that?”

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

"Who told us to break the rules first?" Lu Rongtian spread his hands, "By the way, let me tell you the inside story. When the blind selection of "The Voice" was recorded last year, the program team did not get Xiao Yao's consent. In such a situation, she cut the picture of her girlfriend confessing to him in the room of relatives and friends on the big screen at the scene. Later, Shen Na gave the program director a lesson. Afterwards, the program team also expressed apology to Xiao Yao for this matter, and Ask for his opinion whether it can be edited and broadcast. When Xiao Yao disagreed, 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 gasped.

"It's not overbearing, but this guy is very concerned about privacy." Lu Rongtian said, "Do you remember the illegitimate meal incident back then? 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 together for several years. Needless to say, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi are together as a bridge for this precious son. Ye Jiaying has been married for so many years and has not had a child. In addition to rumors that Ye Jiaying was injured, Ye Jiaying also I once said in public that I don’t plan to have any more children. Xiao Yao is her son, and she wants to give Xiao Yao all her mother’s love. To leak their son’s privacy? These two parents who protect the calf have not rolled up their sleeves to do it to them Wake up? The "Voice" program team went to Xiao Yao to apologize after hearing Shen Na tell them this."

"There are so many things going on here?" Wang Jianzhang shook his head and sighed.

"That's all? That's not all." Lu Rongtian said again, "Xiao Yao has a girlfriend. Her girlfriend is Sun Tingting, Sun Zhihao's daughter, and she is studying at the Chambers Conservatory of Music in the United States. Liu Liu and many other top performers in the world's top music school. Who is Sun Zhihao? The teacher, director, screenwriter, and producer of Yandian. The two of them have known each other for more than ten years. The two children grew up together. We were officially together last year. Now Sun Tingting just went to the United States within two months and we started a scandal about Xiao Yao in China? If you don’t give us a hard time, how can the Xiao family explain to Sun Zhihao, and why Xiao Yao is far away in the United States with him? Confession from my little girlfriend? Don't say that we have turned a positive energy star who is brave and righteous into a cheating little scumbag in the eyes of netizens."

"How do you know so much?" Guo Changlin had lost his temper completely, and he could only look at Lu Rongtian who was talking non-stop and said dissatisfiedly, "And why haven't you ever told me?"

"These are not very secret things in the circle. As long as you are willing to put in some effort to inquire about them, it is not difficult to find out." Lu Rongtian laughed, "Besides, you never asked me. 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 all capable of getting it, but they don't even do a little bit of in-depth understanding of her rumored object? "

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

"Okay," Wang Jianzhang waved his hand dejectedly, stopped the open and secret fighting between the two subordinates, looked at Lu Rongtian and said, "Old Lu, since you know the situation of Xiao Yao and the Xiao family better, what do you say?" Say what we should do now."

"Okay, then I'll talk about it." Lu Rongtian said, "Don't look at that little guy Xiao Yao who looks crazy and fierce, but he is actually calm and sophisticated in his work. Although the press conference really caught us by surprise, But they didn't completely block the way for us to reconcile. 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. The second is the scandal. They held this press conference and put us on the cusp of public opinion. After such a time, I should have vented my anger. As long as everyone doesn’t bring it up again, it will be considered as the past when this gust of wind passes. Anyway, in the entertainment industry, there will be no news one day, and it won’t be long before everyone forgets about it. That's fine." Lu Rongtian said, "The key now is about those two songs. The worst thing to do is to send those two songs to other singers, then Xiao Yao will fight us to death. He said that he will release Gong Chen's version for free, to let everyone know that Gong Chen is the original singer."

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

"In fact, Xiao Yao cares that those two songs were written for Gong Chen, and doesn't want us to give them to others, so as long as the original singers of those two songs are still Gong Chen." Lu Rongtian raised a finger and said, " Our best choice is to continue to complete the promotion of this single according to the original plan, and help Gong Chen release these 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 income from the single is also ours. As for the future commercial performances, since Gong Chen is no longer ours, then we can negotiate a cooperation agreement with them."

"The second option," Lu Rongtian pointed up again, "If we feel that it is too embarrassing to talk about cooperation with Gong Chen and their studio so quickly, we won't do it anyway. If you lack the cost of pre-publicity preparation and the later-stage single income, then you can sell them the copyright of the two songs generously and let them release them for Gong Chen. This way at least you won’t continue to quarrel with them, and you’ll keep Possibility of cooperation in the future."

"Of course," Lu Rongtian added with a smile, "You can also fight against them as Mr. Guo said. Let's bleed some blood, and they should still suffer some losses. Yes, anyway, our family has a big business, so we don't care."

Regarding Lu Rongtian's last sentence, everyone in the conference room rolled their eyes: "Knowing that the two of you are at odds, can you be more obvious?"

"Old Lu, why do you still say such strange things?" Wang Jianzhang frowned and waved to Lu Rongtian, then looked at the others and said, "The first two choices, everyone express your opinion, which one should we choose?"

Maybe it was too embarrassing to cooperate with Qi Jia and Gong Chen in the current situation, most of the executives present expressed their support for Lu Rongtian's second choice.

"Then it's settled like this." Wang Jianzhang finally said, "Sell back the copyright of those two songs... don't sell them anymore, let's be generous and return them to Xiao Yao. By the way, I will issue an apology statement If you make a mistake, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand at attention. Although neither Qi Jia nor the media said it clearly, who already knew that the scandal was caused by us. Let's simply admit it, saying that the staff accidentally leaked the photos to Gossip media. Anyway, everyone knows what's going on."

"There is also Lao 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 a veteran in the entertainment industry. Logically speaking, you shouldn't make such a low-level mistake. This time It can be regarded as a lesson, and you must pay attention to it in the future. Before making a decision, you must understand, especially understand all aspects of the other party. You said that this matter is causing trouble... Oh, let's end the meeting!"
