Chapter 780: Eyes and Ears (Ten Thousand Three)
Wanting to pull Ma Lilian into the banner of Xingchen Media was an idea that Chu Qiankun had when he was at the reception.
The purpose of Star Media's investment in "Avatar" is to use it as a springboard to develop the company into a company with an international background.
In film and television, through "Avatar", he has a good connection with Cameron and Fox Films.
In the future, along this line, Xingchen's film and television business will definitely have a better development.
And Xingchen Media, not only the film and television business, but also the investment in "Avatar", the company's biggest business at present is music.
Therefore, Ma Lilian, who has always been active in front of Chu Qiankun, has become his first target.
And the relationship between Ma Lilian and Cameron made Chu Qiankun a little more determined to include Ma Lilian under his umbrella.
There is such a relationship, which is equivalent to adding an extra insurance lock to the development of Xingchen Media in the United States, which almost binds Cameron firmly together.
Therefore, before saying the purpose and waiting for Cameron's support, Chu Qiankun must make Cameron's attitude towards Ma Lilian clear.
And from the conversation just now, it can be heard that Cameron is a little sorry for Marilyn, and he has also proved that he is a person with affection and righteousness.
Then with him taking care of Ma Lilian and owning Ma Lilian, Xingchen Media will definitely be able to develop smoothly in the United States.
"Chu, your idea is very good, and your thinking is also correct. For now, Lisa is indeed better to continue to be a singer. Why let her join your company, though?"
"I could have found her a better record label and was looking for a top agent. To become a first-line big name, she may also rely on her own strength and a certain amount of luck, but it shouldn't be difficult to become a famous singer. ”
There really wasn't much to see outside the window, and Cameron's eyes hurt when he watched, so he returned to his seat and continued his coffee.
"Well, that's all right. And I also believe that with your strength, it is very easy to do this. However, the competition for such a company will definitely be more fierce, and how many resources can they allocate to Ma Lilian?"
"Don't forget that she's Chinese. What kind of skin does the music scene belong to in the United States, you should know this better than me. In addition, you said to find a top agent, so the same question, such an agent, does there a lack of excellent singers?
Turning his head, stretching out his hand, and stopping Cameron who was about to speak, Chu Qiankun continued: "Even if you are looking for a top agent, a first-class record company, for the sake of your face, you are willing to spend money, energy, and resources to push Ma Lilian. Do you think it's going to make Marilyn successful, and how many resources will they be willing to spend on pushing her?"
After finishing speaking, Chu Qiankun turned his head again, put his hands behind his back, and still looked outside.
No matter how much you look at it, it's also exotic!
"This!" was analyzed by Chu Qiankun, Cameron hesitated a little, but the hesitation was only for a moment: "What you said also has some truth, but this is better than signing up for your Star Media." You know, your stars are in the United States, but there is nothing!"
"Well, you have a point. Xingchen Media has nothing now, and there is a lack of resources in the United States. However, it has one thing that these top record labels and big-name studios in the United States do not have. Chu Qiankun, who had finally seen enough of the exotic customs, also returned to his seat: "They don't have me." ”
"What? you?" Cameron looked at Chu Qiankun in surprise, not understanding what it meant.
"Yes, me. They don't have a creative genius like me, they don't have an endless stream of excellent original songs. If Ma Lilian wants to find her own way in the music industry and get ahead, she must have three magic weapons. Chu Qiankun stretched out three fingers and said lightly.
"The three magic weapons, what are they?" Cameron asked curiously, staring at Chu Qiankun's three fingers.
This is obviously three meat * sticks, how can it be a magic weapon?
Chu Qiankun smiled faintly, and then stretched out a finger: "First, it is money, money is the foundation of all resources, and it is difficult to move an inch without it." The second is original songs, if a singer wants to develop and maintain long-term fame, he must have countless good songs and good works. Third, there are all kinds of network resources. ”
"Among the so-called three magic weapons, the money and original songs in front of us, we have no problems with Xingchen Media. In terms of funds, we will fully support Ma Lilian, and in terms of original songs, we will also have a long stream of good songs for him to choose from. “
"You may not know that in our Star Media. There is also a creative master called 7+1, whose creative talent is far above me. So far, as long as it is his original song, it has been a big hit in China. ”
"He had a song before that has become popular in your country, you may have heard of it, and the song is called "Little Apple". As he spoke, Chu Qiankun hummed casually: "You are my little apple, I can't love you too much, my little red face warms my heart." ”
Cameron's eyes lit up: "This little apple is actually your company's apple?" Hahaha, for a while, all the young people on our set were learning this song. ”
"Well, this is the strength of our Star Media. The song is written at home and sung to the United States!" Chu Qiankun shrugged his shoulders.
"I admit that the two points you mentioned are indeed the resources of your Xingchen Media, but what about your third magic weapon, network resources? If you don't have this, you will still be struggling in the United States. Don't you tell me that the United States is a free market, and there are opportunities everywhere?"
Cameron also followed Chu Qiankun's example and stretched out three fingers.
"I really don't have this third magic weapon. But aren't you there?" Chu Qiankun laughed, and then stared at Cameron with a smile.
"I? hehe, that's what you thought. Understood, all understood. Cameron said with a sudden realization.
Chu Qiankun's abacus is really good, and he is also counted.
Cameron has a feeling that everything he asks and does seems inconsequential, but if you look at it in series, you will find that they are all connected and complement each other.
Chu Qiankun continued: "James, this is a good thing that is good for everyone, and your relationship is also put away, so it is better to take it out and use it." ”
"What you said is good, the relationship is such a thing, and it won't be moldy, just put it away. For you, I'm not doing any good. ”
Cameron picked up his coffee, took a small sip, and put it back down, it was too long and it was already cold.
Chu Qiankun pointed at the coffee: "It's been a long time, I don't know if it's moldy, but it's definitely cold." The relationship is to ask you to move around often. This thing just gets hotter and cooler the more you use it. ”
"As for the benefits!" Chu Qiankun smiled ghostly, stretched out a finger, and gestured to Cameron vertically, waiting for your words: "First of all, the biggest beneficiary of this matter is Ma Lilian, and you should do something as an uncle." After all, if she makes a name for herself in the music world, you can be regarded as having an explanation for Mark. When I go to see him again during the holidays, there is also a new cowhide blown, isn't it?"
"Secondly, I can give you the benefits you want. Xingchen Media can invite you to join the company, and the funds can be just a little bit of a button. After all, you can also be regarded as a technology shareholding, and the proportion can give you 10%. ”
When Chu Qiankun returns to China, Xingchen Media will invest 150 million meters in "Avatar". Regardless of whether this investment is lost or earned in the end, the valuation of Xingchen Media is bound to soar.
This percent, 10 percent of the shares, in absolute terms, is not a small number.
As soon as Chu Qiankun's words fell, Cameron continued: "Forget about the company's shares, I also want Fox's shares if I want them, and their shares are more valuable." ”
These words make Boss Chu embarrassed!
The current Xingchen Media is indeed a little brother in front of Fox, very small.
Whether it is scale, resources, or popularity, they are all far from the same, and Cameron's words are also a big truth.
However, this is only for now, in more than ten years, will the distance between Xingchen and Fox be so far?
Does the stars have to be worse than Fox?
Even Chu Qiankun didn't dare to say certainly, he didn't know what kind of height he could bring the stars to and what scale he could develop him to.
"Well, since you think my company is small and the shares are not valuable, then you won't give it. Just don't regret it later. Chu Qiankun smiled meaningfully: "So, I don't know the song "I See you", are you interested?"
As he spoke, he picked up the notebook at hand and tore off a piece of paper from it, he had been writing and drawing since he entered Jason's studio.
On this piece of paper, it is written "I See you", Cameron's favorite.
As always, the song sheet in his hand was quickly taken away, and Chu Qiankun couldn't help but ask: "You can read the score, can you sing?"
Cameron took the sheet music, it seemed that for a long time, and finally gave up. The lyrics must be known, but let him sing them, he doesn't have the ability.
Embarrassed!
Chu Qiankun's fingers tapped lightly on the top of the song sheet: "It's okay, find Jason in a while, ask him to make the arrangement, and then let Ma Lilian sing it to you, I promise you like it." ”
yes, this is Jason's studio, the recording studio is next door, and some of them are professionals.
Cameron's mood has changed for the better again, he picked up the song sheet and wanted to go to Jason, he couldn't wait, he wanted to confirm as soon as possible, "I See you" was the song he wanted.
Chu Qiankun's hand, which was one second faster than Cameron, pressed it on the top of the song sheet and said, "Don't worry, this is where it goes." Since we want to give you benefits, of course we have to give enough. ”
Then, he tore off a piece of paper from the notebook again and handed it to Cameron mysteriously: "Look at how this scenery is, can it be used in your movie." ”
Chu Qiankun gave a painting this time, the rough appearance of Hallelujah Mountain, in view of Chu Qiankun's painting work, it is really very simple.
Fortunately, this is not a simple drawing of clothing, and under the training of Jin Miqiu, the painter has made some progress.
Therefore, these stone mountains can still see the overall style and the feeling to be expressed.
Cameron didn't say anything, his hand holding the painting was shaking, and finally he almost couldn't control it: "Where is this?"
"Huaxia, Zhangjiajie. "It's the first time I've said it so succinctly today.
In just five words, it was like a boulder hitting Cameron's heart, like a stormy wave, and the waves kept coming: "I'm going to the scene to see." ”
"There's no need to rush this, it's a scenic area. I just want to move, and I can't move it for a while. ”
Cameron let out a long breath, and he was now even more sure that Chu Qiankun had ears and eyes by his side.
