Chapter 154: Showing Kindness
On January 23, Peng Xiangming went to the headquarters of Huatong Cable TV Network in Yanjing City for the first time.
Let's record the Spring Festival Gala.
Because of the well-known reasons, even the major domestic TV stations have already completed the reorganization, but so far, everyone has tacitly agreed not to challenge the status of the Spring Festival Gala of Yang Ma.
Therefore, except for the Spring Festival Gala of Yang Ma, which is recorded and broadcast on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Spring Festival Gala of other TV networks and TV stations all choose to be recorded in advance, and are generally broadcast on the night before Chinese New Year's Eve.
Huatong Cable is of course no exception.
In the past, because he basically never participated in any variety show on any TV network, Peng Xiangming's friendship with major domestic TV networks has always been close to none.
Only since he participated in the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, he has had a little interpersonal relationship with the Yangtze River TV Network, and later took advantage of their New Year's Day song party, and the friendship deepened.
And this time, when it was the turn of the Spring Festival Gala, he chose to participate in the recording of the Spring Festival Gala of Huatong Cable Network - and even chose to bring Jiang Xianxian and Zhou Shunqing at the same time.
Such a group is basically a blockbuster combination that no domestic TV station or party can refuse.
is enough to show his sincerity to the extreme.
Sure enough, as soon as they talked about it, the person in charge of the variety show department on Huatong's side was very happy at the time, and the offer given was quite happy, and when Peng Xiangming and the others rushed over to record, the treatment given here, including the lounge and the time period arranged, was also absolutely heavyweight.
Even before the recording began, Peng Xiangming had just finished rehearsing and returned to his lounge, and no more than ten minutes later, Li Kanghua, the executive director of Huatong Cable's variety show department, had already come over and knocked on the door.
Peng Xiangming came this time, and the momentum was slightly huge.
In addition to himself, Jiang Xianxian and Zhou Shunqing, Kong Quan, Liu Hong, and Fu Zhonghui, these three agents also came with him - Fu Zhonghui is a professional agent dug up by Kong Quan from the outside not long ago, less than thirty years old, with rich experience, and already has a certain amount of experience in leading people, but before jumping over, there were no outstanding artists under his hands, so he jumped and jumped.
At present, Kong Quan arranged for her to temporarily manage Zhou Shunqing's brokerage affairs, but in the future, her main direction is actually to be responsible for film and television, and also deal with the internal affairs of some companies.
In short, An Zhiyi Entertainment Agency is still expanding.
At that time, everyone was gathering in Peng Xiangming's big lounge to chat, because Peng Xiangming had only met Fu Zhonghui for the second time, and even Liu Hong, who was now arranged to temporarily act as an agent for Jiang Xianxian and Wu Bing's brokerage affairs, he had only seen him a few times, and he really needed to be a little more familiar with it, so that they could understand what kind of positioning these singers and actors gave in their hearts, and they would work in the future.
As soon as he started talking, he heard a knock on the door.
Fu Zhonghui took the initiative to go over and open the door, and Li Kanghua came in.
As the vice president of Huatong Cable TV Network and the executive director of the variety show department, Li Kanghua has always been considered by the circle to be a God of Wealth-Huatong is rich, and he is especially willing to spend money to invite celebrities.
Therefore, he has an aura of respect for three points.
He looked like he was probably less than fifty years old, and his face was full of majesty, but when he entered the room, he always had a smile on his face, and he looked very kind, but he shook hands with Peng Xiangming, and then waved at the others, "Sit down, bother you, right?"
Kong Quan interjected at the right time, "No, we are talking about how to have a good relationship with you, the God of Wealth, you will be good here, you will teach you, how can I have a good relationship with you?"
This sycophant made Li Kanghua look very useful, and laughed.
However, he may be used to being majestic, even laughing, just a once, and then speaking kindly, if there is a deep meaning, he said: "It's very simple, as long as Xiang Ming and you ......" He drew his fingers around Jiang Xianxian and Zhou Shunqing, "Come and walk around more, it will be a good relationship!"
Peng Xiangming responded with a smile, "Okay, I'll try to find time to come over as much as possible in the future, and they can be called by you at will!"
Li Kanghua looked very satisfied with this answer, "That's it! If you don't move around all the time, then you must be unfamiliar, and if you are unfamiliar, there will inevitably be misunderstandings, and you don't understand! In fact, after you move around, there are no big or small things, that is, a matter of saying hello! You can't get off the stage at all, right?"
Peng Xiangming nodded deeply, "What you said makes sense. ”
He knew that Li Kanghua was shooting at himself after his two new songs were released last month.
But there is a lot of meaning inside.
As soon as the two of them started talking, although there were six or seven people sitting in the room, the others didn't dare to speak, and even Kong Quan stopped interjecting.
For Chinese people, this seems to be something that goes deep into the bone marrow.
There is no need for anyone to teach or remind anyone.
The big guy said: "I listened to it under the stage just now, and your singing skills are quite good! Although I am not engaged in music, I have heard too many scenes over the years, and your "Dream Chaser" is high enough, and it is not easy to sing it. When we officially record it later, you can still sing it, right?"
Peng Xiangming replied: "You have to let your throat rest for a few hours, slowly, otherwise I'm afraid of breaking the song!"
Li Kanghua nodded, "Hmm." Yes. Yes. ”
After a while, he said, "Then I won't bother you too much, you have to rest well, and it will be officially recorded tonight." After that, he stood up, Peng Xiangming hurriedly stood up, but before he could speak, he heard him say again: "You must have been busy recently, and you don't dare to eat and drink indiscriminately, so let's wait for the next year, I'll call you after the New Year, I'll form a bureau, let's talk about it, and cooperate to do something, how about it?"
Peng Xiangming hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay! No problem! You can call me at any time!"
From his words just now, Peng Xiangming could vaguely guess what he wanted to talk about with him, it is said that as long as Peng Xiangming does not make TV series, in fact, he does not have to get too close to them at all.
There is no need to please anything at all.
TV station variety shows, evening parties, etc., for singers, it is certainly an opportunity to make money, and they can also use TV as a medium to expand their popularity and influence, but because of the existence of the Internet, the influence of TV stations in the media has been greatly weakened.
Moreover, Peng Xiangming became popular on the Internet, and he can continue to be popular on the Internet.
As long as his songs can still be sold on music every day, the foundation of his life is there.
But there are two ways to say it.
If a big guy like Huatong can achieve a certain amount of cooperation, it will also be beneficial and harmless - the key point is whether the matter is according to his own heart.
But since the real big guy has spoken, then I have to give a chance to talk.
If they still want to let themselves come over and shoot a TV series for them, it will not be too late to refuse when the time comes.
If they want to buy their own MV premiere, then they can talk about it!
Anyway, now Dingdong short video and Tiantian Music are in frequent contact with Kong Quan, and they all want Peng Xiangming's next song, or simply package the MV of their first solo album, that is, to bring in another competitor of theirs!
The one with the highest price will get it.
If they are looking for themselves to buy TV series, it will be a good business - pay attention, they are buying, not asking Peng Xiangming to shoot for them! This is very important!
Shooting for others is to earn money, but if you shoot yourself, it is your own industry.
TV series seem to be inferior to movies in terms of style, but the TV series that are really popular make money, but it is also very scary.
A good drama that is popular to a certain extent, and it is not uncommon for a drama to earn hundreds of millions and billions!
Much more than many movies!
And since his own film and television company has started up, and the rent is more than 10 million yuan a year, he can't just serve himself a movie that tops the sky for a year, right? What about other times? Recruit so many people, rent such a big place, and be idle?
Just like when he asked Zhou Yujie's agent Liu Chuanying about opening his personal studio, Liu Chuanying's answer was the same: Since the stall has been opened and various costs have been added, even if you lose money temporarily, you have to sign a few singers and make albums for them!
It is only in continuous operation that the various costs are amortized.
............
Li Kanghua came and walked as fast as he could, and when he added back and forth, he sat for less than five minutes.
But after he went out, he left the lounge directly, obviously, he came directly to Peng Xiangming, and he didn't plan to even pick the key points to condole.
He walked for a while, and Liu Hong, who had been opening the crack in the door and secretly looking out, turned around and closed the door, and whispered, "I left directly, and I didn't enter another room." ”
Zhou Shunqing didn't react because he didn't understand, but Kong Quan, Fu Zhonghui and Jiang Xianxian's eyes all lit up, and they all turned their heads to look at Peng Xiangming.
As we all know, it is the grandfather who gives the money.
It doesn't matter what kind of business you do, big customers always have all kinds of privileges and need to be provided like grandfathers.
For the entertainment industry, TV stations are the biggest customers.
If the movie is going to be released, you have to come to the TV station to participate in the program to promote, the TV series is filmed, you have to sell it to the TV station, the singer has released an album, and you have to come over to participate in the show to do publicity and hit the charts.
Not to mention the various galas, which are simply the fixed ATMs of the singers.
So, no matter how high your status is in the entertainment industry, when you meet the senior management of several major TV networks, you will immediately become grandchildren - many companies have raised courtesans and small fresh meat, what are they used for? To put it bluntly, isn't it just to accompany these big customers!
Generally, second-class singers, even if you are as popular as Pang Xing's top in China, I am afraid it is difficult to talk about being on an equal footing with a figure of Li Kanghua's level.
Because no matter how good your singer is, there are almost no times when the TV station begs you.
Without you, there is someone else at any time.
But what Li Kanghua said just now before leaving, it was clear that he wanted to "cooperate with Peng Xiangming to do something", and his attitude seemed to be quite peaceful, without any sense of superiority.
This attitude even made several agents and Jiang Xianxian feel flattered.
So, when Peng Xiangming took the initiative to drive people out and said that he wanted to take a break, everyone obediently withdrew, but as soon as he went out, Liu Hong couldn't help but pull Kong Quan, and when Jiang Xianxian and Zhou Shunqing each returned to their own lounges, she pulled Kong Quan to the corner of the corridor on the side and asked him: "Mr. Kong, what do you say...... Then what does Mr. Li want to do when he is looking for our boss?"
Fu Zhonghui also cleverly followed.
Kong Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't guess for sure, but ...... Jiao'er had pushed the cooperation of all TV networks before, but this time Mr. Li came over specially and spoke so politely, I guess, it could only be for two things. One is the premiere right of his new song MV, and the other is ...... TV series. Or rather, IP. ”
Liu Hong and Fu Zhonghui are both agents who have been in the circle for some years, and they have always grasped all kinds of trends in the industry for the first time, and they immediately understood when they heard the words.
To put it bluntly, it is likely to be for the story of "Dream Chaser".
