201. The coming industry shock, album MV!
Wang Xiao saw the caller ID with the words Manager Shark Zhou, and did not answer the phone immediately, but gave the phone to Zhu Ziqi.
Zhu Ziqi nodded lightly, took the phone and connected it.
Wang Xiao didn't care, anyway, he had already signed a contract with Wan Gongzi, and he knew from Yang Xueshu that the company had also been established and started operating.
With Wan Gongzi, a big real estate developer, finding an office is a matter of one sentence.
Therefore, Zhu Ziqi just refused, this is the job of the agent.
Wang Xiao and Zhou Yifeng, Pi Zhikai, Yang Shanshan, Li Tianzhi and others walked towards the box of goods together.
Zhu Ziqi answered the phone here.
Zhou Shucheng's voice came out of the phone: "Brother Xiao, I'm the shark's old Zhou!"
Zhu Ziqi smiled and said: "Hello, Manager Zhou, Wang Xiao is a little busy now and has no time to answer the phone, if you watch the live broadcast, you should know that there is something to talk to me about." ”
Zhou Shucheng on the phone was silent for a few seconds.
He looked at Li Bing, who was still in the office, the phone was on speakerphone, and both of them could hear Zhu Ziqi's voice.
Both of them chuckled in their hearts, and the bad premonition reappeared.
The fact that he couldn't talk to Wang Xiao directly showed that Wang Xiao didn't want to talk to them.
Anything inconvenient without time is just an excuse.
The show is over, if you really want to talk, you don't have more than ten minutes to go?
Let Zhu Ziqi say it, it means sending them away.
Li Bing nodded to Zhou Shucheng and motioned for him to continue talking with Zhu Ziqi.
Make your own terms and smash over!
Zhou Shucheng immediately said: "Ah, it's Ziqi, hello." I want to talk about the signing of the contract, I don't know how you and Brother Xiao think about it? We sharks definitely have the best sincerity, if you are not satisfied with the terms of the contract, in fact, we can talk about it again. ”
Zhu Ziqi smiled: "Your conditions are very good, to be honest, it is the highest price we have received so far." ”
Zhou Shucheng immediately said: "Then you should know our sincerity, last time we missed Brother Xiao, the staff of the entire platform are very sorry." So we paid 120 percent of our sincerity this time, hoping to let Brother Xiao come back and make up for the regret last time. ”
Zhu Ziqi: "We have a lot of things going on at the moment, so I'm not in a hurry about the live broadcast, I want to take a break first." ”
Zhou Shucheng: "Ziqi, then we can sign the contract first, and the contract can take effect immediately, but we can give Brother Xiao half a month's rest, how about it? This half month is also considered as paid leave during the contract period, and it can be stated in the contract that Brother Xiao can be given at least two months of paid leave every year!"
Zhu Ziqi didn't know what to say.
The sincerity of this shark is so that she can't refuse, it hurts people's hearts too much.
After all, she is a college student who has just entered the society, and she doesn't have too much experience in business, and she can't be hard-hearted and not so ruthless when talking about business.
With a soft heart, Zhu Ziqi still decided to say it clearly and stop dragging others.
Zhu Ziqi: "Manager Zhou, thank you for thinking so much about Wang Xiao." However, we recently received a request for cooperation!"
Zhou Shucheng and Li Bing were both shocked.
Sure enough, someone made a move!
And what can make Zhu Ziqi say it so solemnly is definitely not an ordinary partner.
Zhou Shucheng immediately said: "Oh, with Brother Xiao's current popularity, I am sure that all platforms want to cooperate with Brother Xiao." However, I believe that no other platform can have the sincerity of our sharks. In fact, we held a meeting with the company's senior management today, and felt that the previous contract quotation may be a little low for Brother Xiao's current popularity, and it cannot reflect the true value of Brother Xiao. ”
Zhou Shucheng heard Zhu Ziqi mention the competitor, and immediately took a fierce medicine: "So, we decided to increase the contract price for Brother Xiao." ”
"We can bid up to 200 million a year for Brother Xiao, and sign a contract for up to five years! However, because the contract amount is too high, we can't pay half of the total amount at one time, we can only pay the contract fee for the current year every year, and at the same time, I just said that I will give Brother Xiao two months of paid leave every year! Ziqi, I believe that this is definitely the highest offer on the whole network, and no one else can come up with a better contract than us, and it is impossible for Shenteng Group!"
Zhou Shucheng smashed out all the conditions he was going to say in one go.
There are competitors who are not afraid, but what they are afraid of is that Zhu Ziqi will not give them the opportunity to compete and negotiate.
The shark made up his mind this time to keep Wang Xiao at any cost.
As long as Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi give them a chance to talk, they are not afraid of competition.
Let's just put the conditions out and compare them!
They believe that no one is in better condition than sharks.
Zhu Ziqi listened to Zhou Shucheng say so much in one breath, and was also stunned by the sudden increase in the contract price again.
She widened her eyes and looked at Wang Xiao who was chatting with Pi Zhikai Zhou Feng, this guy is so valuable?
200 million a year!
A five-year contract is a billion!
Throw out a billion to sign a person!
Two months of paid leave are also given every year, which is equivalent to giving more than 30 million yuan a year.
At the beginning, Wan Gongzi said to Wang Xiao that Wang Xiao was worth one billion!
Zhu Ziqi only thought it was a joke made by Wan Gongzi in order to envelop Wang Xiao.
Now, it's true, someone really made a billion bids.
It's kind of crazy.
Zhu Ziqi was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and still maintained a calm tone: "I'm sorry, your offer is indeed very surprising." ”
Zhou Shucheng smiled with a hint of confidence: "Of course, I believe that if this price is said, it will definitely cause the shock of the entire Shenzhou, Brother Kai is only forty million a year." Ziqi, you should believe in our sincerity, right?You want to rest now, we don't have any opinions, but this doesn't prevent us from signing a contract first, you can broadcast when you have a rest, and we will pay you the contract money on time during the break. ”
Zhu Ziqi sighed slightly, and said in a slightly regretful tone: "Manager Zhou, your sincerity really surprised me and I am very satisfied. Your offer can surprise me every time, there are many platforms to contact us, but you sharks are the only ones who can tirelessly contact us again and again, and raise the price again and again. ”
Zhou Shucheng and Li Bing both looked serious.
They are well-informed and experienced, and they know that Zhu Ziqi said this, so there will be but......
Really!
Zhu Ziqi continued: "But it's a pity! We may not have the opportunity to cooperate for the time being, we have already determined the partner, and I don't want you to bother us in vain, so I will tell you directly." I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. ”
Zhou Shucheng and Li Bing fell silent.
Both of them looked serious and terrifying!
Rejected!
Their offer was so high, coupled with many promotional resources from the first platform, that they were all rejected.
Although they had a premonition that they would be rejected.
However, when they really got a response that they were sure of being rejected, they were still a little unacceptable, and they thought a lot in their hearts in an instant!
Who is it?
Who can compete with them and win, poaching Wang Xiao first?
What kind of sky-high price did the other party offer?
How much did this affect their sharks afterwards?
Will this mysterious platform directly affect the status of the No. 1 live streaming platform for sharks?
You must know that in most industries, the biggest brother can enjoy the most dividends and attract the most popularity, and the other peers behind may add up to compare with the leader!
The confidence of the Shark plan to go public within two years is that they have always secured the position of the first platform for live broadcasting!
If their first platform position is gone!
Maybe the listing plan will be postponed!
It will also affect the overall pattern of the entire live broadcast industry in the future.
Wang Xiao's influence in the field of live broadcast is so great that it involves the interests of almost all platforms.
You must know that in recent days, dozens of large, medium and small platforms have rubbed off on Wang Xiao's popularity, bringing a lot of benefits to these platforms.
Sharks are no exception, because sharks are the ones who have the most to gain and will be the ones who have the most to lose!
Zhou Shucheng and Li Bing were silent for more than twenty seconds, thinking a lot in their hearts.
Li Bing patted Zhou Shucheng to make him sober up, pointed to the phone, and asked him to continue asking!
Zhou Shucheng forced himself to calm down, but his voice was still a little uncalm: "Ziqi, then I can take the liberty of asking, which platform will you cooperate with? What conditions do they give you? Have you signed a contract? If you haven't signed a contract yet, the conditions they give, we sharks will not be stingy, we give the same conditions, or higher, these can be discussed, we will not let you and Brother Xiao suffer." ”
Zhou Shucheng also quickly sobered up, asked a lot of key information, and was still fighting.
Zhu Ziqi thought for a while and only asked: "Can the shark give Wang Xiao a share of the shark?"
Zhou Shucheng and Li Bing fell silent again, their eyes widening again!
Is there a platform to give Wang Xiao shares directly?
After a little thought in their hearts, they knew that it was impossible for the shark to give Wang Xiao shares.
Now that Shark has gone through three rounds of financing, the composition of the company's shares is very complicated, and now the valuation is very high, it is impossible to give Wang Xiao a share of the anchor, and Wang Xiao requires a lot of shares, at least about 10%, which is absolutely impossible.
If you give a billion signing money, you can, and even a higher signing fee can be negotiated!
Give shares.
Impossible, nothing to talk about!
Zhou Shucheng: "I'm sorry, Ziqi, it's unlikely that the shark will give up its shares now, if it was two years ago, it would have been possible, and now the composition of the shark's shares is too complicated, and it is impossible to give up the shares." ”
Zhu Ziqi: "It's okay, after the matter of the gods, Wang Xiao and I don't want to be controlled by others anymore, we want to start our own business and have our own company, so we haven't talked to you for a long time, now you understand, right? Thank you for being so sincere, but I'm still sorry." ”
Li Bing picked up a cigarette and lit it, leaned against the window and silently thought about the next direction of the shark, after determining that Wang Xiao could not join, it would be impossible for the shark to have great development and progress in two years.
Moreover, they will face a formidable new and rising opponent.
Today I saw Wang Xiao's super popularity again.
They all believe that any platform that attracts Wang Xiao to join can instantly rise to become one of the best in the entire live broadcast field.
It's not impossible to surpass the shark!
Zhou Shucheng quickly asked: "Ziqi, can you easily reveal which platform Brother Xiao joined?"
Zhu Ziqi didn't hide everything, and revealed a little information: "I can reveal a little, we have not joined any of the current platforms, we will create a new platform, and it will not be launched in a short time, so you don't have to worry about it for the time being, I can't say more about the rest, this is a trade secret." ”
Zhou Shucheng was shocked: "Create a new platform? ”
Zhu Ziqi: "Thank you, and I wish you a smooth road to the listing of sharks, not to mention, I am still very busy here." ”
Zhou Shucheng: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye!"
Zhu Ziqi: "Goodbye." ”
Hung up!
Zhou Shucheng and Li Bing couldn't calm down in the office for a long time, they were silent and didn't speak, they both picked up cigarettes and smoked violently, until they finished smoking a cigarette and the office became cloudy, and the two glanced at each other and started talking.
Zhou Shucheng's tone was extremely solemn and serious: "Mr. Li, we may have a strong competitor, and this competitor will surpass the threat of divine soldiers and fire dragons. ”
Li Bing said helplessly: "I know! Tonight, Wang Xiao's traffic alone accounts for about 60 percent of the total shark traffic. He alone had more traffic than the shark had before. In other words, he alone has the ability to support a platform that we sharks want to be. ”
Zhou Shucheng said in passing: "If they dig up a few more popular anchors and cultivate some middle and lower-level anchors to attract some people, the popularity will be terrifying, and it will not be difficult to surpass us." Moreover, what if Brother Xiao's popularity increases in the future?"
Li Bing's brows furrowed.
At the beginning, the shark defeated the divine soldiers and poached most of the anchors, and the shark was full of spirit.
It didn't take long.
Sharks are also facing a huge crisis.
Li Bing rubbed his temples vigorously, let his nerves relax, sighed and said: "You sort out a piece of materials, and discuss it with you when the executives have a meeting tomorrow morning, this is a crisis for us, everyone should know that we can't sit back and relax." ”
Zhou Shucheng nodded: "Well, I'll get it right away, and then get off work after finishing it! It's a pity that Zhu Ziqi can't say who their partner is! Can they refuse the 180 million contract we opened last time, and reject the 200 million a year contract we offer now, the other party's conditions must be very high, and it may be big capital to enter!"
Being able to offer higher terms than their contract is not something that anyone can do.
At least more than one billion dollars will be smashed into it.
Li Bing shook his head: "Forget it, let's take one step at a time, just continue to compete." Our shark has been running for almost eight years, and the Divine Soldier Fire Dragon is menacing, and it has been pressed and beaten by us, and the Divine Soldier has been dragged down by us, and now it is even more impossible to be surpassed by a new platform. ”
Shark has experienced several ups and downs over the years, almost collapsed several times, and finally survived, and firmly established the position of the first live broadcast platform, has long had a mature operating mechanism, as well as a mature cooperative capital party, and there are many large domestic and foreign capital in several rounds of financing, including even Shenteng Group and another network giant of the same level, but the proportion is very small.
In conclusion, Shark is not a new platform to compare!
Even if this new platform has Wang Xiao in charge, if there is no mature operating mechanism and the support of big capital and big platforms, it is unlikely to threaten the sharks.
The two chatted a few more words, Li Bing went home from work first, and Zhou Shucheng had to continue to sort out the materials about Wang Xiao, as well as the various unpredictable effects of the launch of the new platform on sharks, etc., and they would discuss it at the meeting tomorrow.
In short, the two can be sure that as long as the new platform joined by Wang Xiao has a large amount of financial support, even if it can't threaten the shark, it is almost ironclad to become the second platform under the shark, and the popularity of the entire platform of the fire dragon is impossible to compare with Wang Xiao, and the divine soldier is now on the verge of bankruptcy again, and it is impossible to participate in the competition.
It's just that the two don't know when this new platform will be launched!
However, the two have already paid attention, and tomorrow they will definitely use their connections in the industry to inquire about it, as long as there are clues, they can find out.
………………
In a large box of a Sichuan restaurant near Sichuan University!
Wang Xiao and Zhu Ziqi invited a large table of people to come over for dinner.
Zhou Yifeng and Yang Shanshan, Pi Zhikai, Xi Feifei, Wen Xue, Arc Yue, Crescent Moon, Huang Yingying, Li Haiyan, Chen Yue, Zhou Yu, Li Tianzhi, He Hua, Liu Yue, Chen Xiaoyue, etc. all called over, and everyone gathered a big table.
Wang Xiao replaced wine with tea, and personally toasted a glass to the crescent moon, Huang Yingying, and Li Haiyan.
These guys have been busy all night for him tonight, and he must be thankful.
Especially since Wang Xiao took over the commercial performance, Yueya and Huang Yingying have been doing their best to help Wang Xiao organize fans and manage fans, showing superb management skills.
Not everyone can bring tens of thousands of people together and manage it in an orderly manner.
Then, Wang Xiao toasted Li Tianzhi, He Hua, Liu Yue, and Chen Xiaoyue, and they did their best to rehearse and accompany him for his performance, which was also hard.
Then, Wang Xiao toasted Zhou Yifeng, Yang Shanshan, Pi Zhikai, Xi Feifei, and Wen Xue, thanked them for their support, and came to the scene to cheer.
Zhou Feng is the biggest name in the entertainment industry among all the people on the scene, and he is the oldest qualified.
Even if he is not as popular as Wang Xiaogao on the Internet, he is also a senior in the entertainment industry and has debuted for more than ten years.
Wang Xiao is still an outsider now, and is about to release an album and completely set foot in the entertainment industry.
Zhou Zhou Feng drank two glasses of wine and said with emotion: "Wang Xiao, your performance is really great, I will definitely go back to your concert with Brother Hua next time!"
Wang Xiao saw that the relationship between Zhou Yifeng and Yang Shanshan was not ordinary, and said, "Shanshan also bring it." ”
Yang Shanshan's face flushed.
Zhou Zhou Feng smiled: "Hahaha, then you must bring it." ”
Zhu Ziqi now began to take on the role of an agent, and asked tentatively: "Have you officially announced it?"
Zhou Feng shook his head: "Not yet, I haven't just caught up, I have been chasing for more than ten years to catch up, and I haven't had time to announce it, I'll announce it when I go back later, we are family people!"
Yang Shanshan pinched this guy: "Who is your family." ”
Zhou Zhou Feng disdainful: "Who said it was you." ”
Yang Shanshan really pinched hard: "Who are you talking about?"
Zhou Zhou Feng hurriedly begged for mercy: "Come on, it's you, it's you, I surrender." ”
Yang Shanshan smiled triumphantly.
They have been fighting like this for almost a dozen years.
Before, they only thought that they were good friends, but now that they think about it, in fact, they have always been like a pair in the eyes of outsiders, but they don't know it, and today they have broken this boundary.
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Pi Zhikai: "Brother Xiao, I will definitely be there for your concert with Brother Hua, and I will come to Rongcheng in advance and bring my daughter-in-law with me." ”
Xi Feifei said directly: "I'm not leaving Rongcheng, waiting for your concert." ”
Wen Xue was a little shy: "I'm going back to prepare for the release of the album, I can't wait for your concert, but I'll watch the live broadcast, will you sing new songs at the concert?"
Everyone looked at Wang Xiao.
Everyone present admired Wang Xiao's music very much, and looked forward to whether he would surprise them again in the future.
Wang Xiao said uncertainly: "Thank you for your support, and I wish Wen Xue a smooth production of your new album." I haven't decided on the repertoire of the concert yet, so I'll see how it goes. I want to see the progress of the album, and if the new album is going well and is about to be released, I will sing the title song of the new album first and promote my new album in advance. ”
Wen Xue asked curiously, "Do you really make two albums at once?"
She has been in the circle of independent musicians for several years, and only recently has she received strong support, got the opportunity to release albums, and won great autonomy to create her own music, which is also the dividend that Wang Xiao brought her!
Wang Xiao's fire has made many record companies see the potential of independent musicians.
Wen Xue has a good image and talent, she is already well-known in the circle of independent musicians, her own works have a good response, and the total number of downloads is also hundreds of thousands, even if she can't rank first before Wang Xiao's rise, she can also rank in the top ten in the circle of independent musicians!
Therefore, the record company believes that Wen Xue has the potential to catch fire and gives strong support.
However, because of this, Wen Xue knew how difficult it was to make an album, and even more difficult to make a high-quality album with her heart, and she thought that she would have to prepare for at least half a year to polish the album.
Wang Xiao produces two albums at a time, which in her opinion is an incredible thing if it is not shoddy.
Zhou Zhou Feng and Yang Shanshan also looked at Wang Xiao, the two are people in the entertainment industry, and they are no strangers to the music circle, so they know the difficulty of this.
Wang Xiao glanced at Li Tianzhi and said with a relaxed smile: "Actually, it's not as difficult as you think." The first nostalgic album I recorded are all songs that have been released, this is not difficult, you can directly record the online version of the high-definition sound source and release it, just to meet the needs of fans who want to buy a physical album collection. ”
"I've almost written all the songs on the new album, and the rest is just recording, and I believe it's not difficult. The slightly more difficult part is that I am hesitant to shoot the MV, I have no experience in this!"
Now is not the era of tapes more than 20 years ago, it is enough to just pour the sound source into the tape, and there is no need to shoot an MV for each song, only need to shoot a MV for the title song and take it to the TV station to broadcast on the charts.
Then we entered the CD era and the DVD era, and gradually every song will be accompanied by its own MV!
Nowadays, every song must have an album MV, so that the picture and the music are synchronized, so that it will be more feeling and more competitive!
Even, those brainless fans of little fresh meat prefer to watch the MV of their idols, but they don't pay much attention to music.
Wang Xiao strives for her new album to be an instant hit.
Therefore, he still wants to shoot a music video for each of his songs, so that the first new album will be complete.
Zhou Zhou Feng drank two glasses of wine, and Jing Pian said in a heroic tone: "MV, it's a trivial matter, Shanshan and I will be actors for you." ”
Yang Shanshan was more sober and pinched Zhou Feng.
You can't make promises.
