"Director Wang, I think we should increase the publicity fees.”
In the office, Wen Dong suggested to a middle-aged man.
This person had a white face, no beard, and thick eyebrows. He was the CEO of Huayi Entertainment, Wang Zhonglei. At this moment, he was sitting on a chair and looking down at Wen Dong with a slightly unhappy expression.
"You previously proposed three million yuan, and the company has already fulfilled it.”
"I don't think we've reached our expectations.”
"It hasn't reached our expectations?" Wang Zhonglei slammed the newspaper on the table." Look at these pages. They're all about the promotion of this album. It's been a month, and there's no repetition! Isn't that enough?"
Wen Dong was expressionless." I suggest that we increase the publicity fee to five million.”
"Five million?" Wang Zhonglei raised his eyebrows and suppressed the anger in his heart." Do you know how much Feng Dapao spent to film a movie? You want me to invest 5 million yuan for just one album?”
" The film's income is short-term. If we launch this combination, the long-term returns will increase day by day. I think these investments are inevitable.”
"Definitely?" Wang Zhonglei narrowed his eyes." Do you really think you're a prophet? Look at how those singers commented on these songs.”
He pulled out a newspaper, which was full of curses against the songs." The lyrics are too weak. There's no depth. The space for this discussion is even bigger than our publicity space.”
"This is part of the publicity." Wen Dong glanced at him and said calmly.
"Humph! Forget about 5 million, if this 3 million can't cover the cost, I want to see how you're going to deal with it.”
Wen Dong's face twitched. He felt like he was playing the lute to a cow.
This person did not understand music at all, nor did he understand the music market.
However, if he wanted to apply for these funds, he still needed this person's approval.
"The market is currently experiencing a rebound. Our promotions have taken up many singers 'promotional opportunities. They are trying to improve themselves by belittling this album. Just like Brain Black Gold advertisements, brainwashing publicity would always cause dissatisfaction in the market. However, in the end, we still have to speak through hard power.”
He took a deep breath." You should have heard of this album.”
Wang Zhonglei's face stiffened. He lit a cigarette and did not comment.
Seeing that the other party's attitude had softened, Wen Dong immediately added fuel to the fire,"Yu Quan's group was able to occupy such a large market share because we were so ruthless and spent so much money. Now, the return is more than a hundred times that of the past. I'm very optimistic about the Stars band.”
"Just because you said you think it's good, the company has to take risks with you?”
At the beginning of their business, they were willing to bet on the future of Huayi's entire music market on Yu Quan. At most, they would give up the music market and focus on the film and television route. However, now that their family business was big, they did not have the heart to take another gamble.
Besides, even if they spent money, it would only give Huayi another jade spring.
Moreover, the appearance of a group that was on equal footing with Yu Quan would also threaten Yu Quan's status and tilt the resources of the music market slightly.
Wen Dong sighed and struggled,"Our company is about to go public and needs some fresh blood.”
Wang Zhonglei put out his cigarette and said word by word,"It's precisely because we're about to go public that we can't take this risk. We've already thrown out three million yuan. This is the company's final bottom line. Whether they succeed or fail depends on them. There's no need to talk about this anymore.”
"Alright." Wen Dong suddenly turned around.
At the same time, he had already made up his mind.
Huayi could not stay for long.
As he strolled out of the office, he kept thinking about his future.
In his opinion, the current manager industry was deformed.
Nowadays, actors were all under the management of their managers. The managers had the power to decide the life and death of the actors. All audition invitations had to go through the managers first. It was like a parasitic relationship. The managers sucked the blood of the actors.
In his opinion, actors and managers should have a symbiotic relationship. Planning and industry, with managers and actors performing their respective duties, was the path of sustainable development.
The higher-ups of Huayi Entertainment might have already noticed the commotion and were anxious to take back the actors 'contracts. They also realized that the managers had too much power now. Once they left, Huayi Entertainment, which was a castle in the air, would collapse in an instant.
The contracts of many of his artists had been taken back by the company in various ways. Fang Yun was the last treasure in his hands.
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and called Fang Yun.
"Hello, Brother Dong?"
"I have bad news. Huayi Entertainment is no longer planning to invest in publicity.”
Fang Yun, who was far away in the courtyard house, frowned.
At this moment, he was arranging the music video. Liu Che and Huang Bo, who were beside him, saw his expression and felt that something was wrong.
"It's fine. The publicity at this stage is almost done.”Fang Yun secretly calculated, feeling that it was almost time to draw the net in.
The audience's appetite had already been roused quite a bit. If this continued, their expectations for this album would drop greatly.
"I think so too. How are the plans for the MV coming along? If the company didn't pay for it, the cost of shooting the MV would be reduced.”
"I'll think of a way." Fang Yun also had a headache. He did not expect the company to give up at the critical moment.
"I still have some savings, but not much. If the money is not enough, I can make up for it first.”
"How about this? I'll think of a way first. If it doesn't work, we'll put together a plan.”
"Alright, I'll wait for your news."
Fang Yun sighed after hanging up the phone.
"What's wrong, Kumoko?" Liu Che asked.
"The company has pulled the pants and won't give us any money.”
"That's nothing. We'll pay for the publicity ourselves.”Liu Che smiled." I thought it was something important. You gave me a fright. Money is easy to deal with.”
"It's not that simple." Huang Bo said in a low voice," The biggest impact on us from Huayi's resignation isn't money, but resources. Take the male and female leads of the music video for example. If Huayi Entertainment were to come forward, we might not have to fork out a single cent to get Huayi Entertainment's actors to come and guest star for free. More importantly, this matter was already half-done. It would be difficult to split the profits in the future.”
"Then what should we do?" Liu Che didn't expect there to be such a layer. He immediately scratched his head and said in distress.
"I'll contact the actress for the MV first.”
She was only familiar with a few old actors, and none of them were suitable for the theme of this album. The album was centered around boys, and their ages didn't match.
If she really couldn't do it, she would go on stage herself. After all, there was no need for acting skills in the music video.
However, he had a lot of phone numbers with the actresses.
He opened the phone book.
It was a list of the beauties from the Heavenly Dragon Production Team.
