Chapter 174: The Cornucopia of King Size
The car stopped steadily, Zhuang Meiyue picked up the sunglasses card, and subconsciously looked up.
This is a well-known restaurant in the entire entertainment industry, called "Xiangqing Restaurant", it is said that it is still registered as a trademark, it has been open for six or seven years, and up to now, there are seven or eight branches across the country.
The owner of this hotel is called He Runqing.
Without waiting for the driver to come over and open the door, Zhuang Meiyue pushed the door open by herself, and at the same time turned around and said to the assistant next to her, "You guys go back first." He also deliberately said to the driver: "Brother Zhou, please send Xiaomei back!"
The driver, Lao Zhou, agreed very happily and said, "Don't worry, I will be sent home in time, and I will come back to pick you up when the time comes." ”
Zhuang Meiyue smiled, her assistant gave a few more words, she waved her hand to signal her to rest assured, then closed the car door and walked into this "small restaurant".
After entering, as soon as she reported the room number, although Zhuang Meiyue was wearing sunglasses, the front desk waiter still looked solemn and respectful, and hurriedly took Zhuang Meiyue over - while following the waiter, Zhuang Meiyue also carefully looked at the layout and layout of the restaurant, and was envious in her heart.
In the circle of singers, and even in the entire entertainment industry, He Runqing is famous for his wealth and well-being.
Not only is she extremely diligent, she is diligent in releasing albums, participating in performances, and holding concerts, but she is also a small success in business, and she is one of the rare people in the entertainment industry who can continue to do everything and gradually grow bigger after so many years. In short, she is very good at making money.
Zhuang Meiyue knows that she has just started, and the most important thing at the moment must be singing and music career. But I have to say that it has been almost two years since she entered Minghu Culture, and now she has finally released her first album, and it has become a direct hit, she knows that as long as she does not leave Minghu Culture, the future will be frank and bright, and it won't be long before she gets her own sales share, she will start to get a little rich...... Therefore, when people reach this point, they have long been free of hunger and confusion about the future, and they really unconsciously begin to think about things that they would not have thought about at all.
For example, what happens after making money?
Like He Runqing, she was born as a bitter child, and when she entered this industry, and even came to this point, she was a little bit lucky by mistake, so she cherished everything she had in her hands.
Therefore, in the face of the upcoming "huge sum", she was excited, but she had no intention of squandering it, but immediately began to think about how to arrange the money, let them move, and help herself use the money to make money.
Opening a restaurant seems to be the common choice of many people in the industry.
Because the threshold for doing this is relatively low, it is easier to do, and it can also give full play to some contacts in the industry and its own external influence, thereby attracting a large number of star-chasing customers.
Looking in his eyes, thinking wildly in his mind, before he knew it, the waiter who was walking in front had stopped, knocked on the door of a private room, and got a response from inside, so he pushed the door open and said, "Mr. He, your guest is here." ”
After finishing speaking, she flashed, and the petite Zhuang Meiyue saw the situation in the private room clearly, and couldn't help but smile, "Wow, you're all here!"
In the private room, it was full of friends.
Seeing that it was Zhuang Meiyue coming, before the owner He Runqing could speak, Zhou Ye couldn't help but be the first to speak: "Yo, the little diva has arrived!"
As he spoke, everyone was already pushing the table and standing up.
This party was convened by He Runqing, and the name was to celebrate the big sale of "At Least You" within the small circle, and it was stated in advance that all the younger brothers and sisters in the company were invited.
Therefore, in addition to herself, all of the singers here today are newly signed singers from Minghu Culture in the past two years.
There are Ge Releng and Zhao Yuan who are in a group with Zhuang Meiyue, as well as Wang Nanhao and Zhou Ye, who only joined the company not long ago, and of course, Xie Bing, Sun Ruoxuan and Wang Jingxue, but it seems that the three of them have not arrived yet.
Basically, except for Liao Liao and Zhou Yan, the singers of the entire Minghu Culture Company are gathered today.
Zhuang Meiyue went in, greeted Ge Rilen and Zhao Yuan, and made a gesture of begging for mercy with her hands folded at Zhou Ye, and said, "Brother Ye, let's be our own people, don't laugh at me, okay? Sister Runqing can sit here, she is a serious diva!"
While speaking, He Runqing smiled and pulled her to sit beside him, and said with a smile: "Don't say that, how old am I, how old are you, in a few years, I should be semi-retired, and then I will help you make an album or something, you are the future king and queen!"
Everyone laughed and sat down.
Some of the people present are rising stars in the music world, such as Zhou Ye, such as Zhuang Meiyue, and others, such as Zhao Yuan and Ge Rilen, all of whom are about to release albums, and of course they are all willing to listen to such colorful heads.
When everyone sat down, the waiter came in and filled the tea one by one, and exited, He Runqing said again: "Xiaoyue's stick, it's done beautifully, and in the next June, it depends on the source, and you, Ge Rileng, you are in charge of August, during the publicity period, don't be lazy, in August, it's a tough battle!"
Zhao Yuan and Ge Releng both smiled and nodded when they heard this.
Although they are all full of confidence in their albums, after all, although their albums are not designed by Li Qian, including the title song, more than half of the works in their albums are given by Li Qian, and the level is naturally extremely high, but seeing that the works that have worked hard for a year are about to be listed, and now they, as two junior brothers in the music world, are both looking forward to and apprehension.
The strategy jointly formulated by President Qi Jieqi and Li Qian for the company is very clear.
In the record market, Liao Liao and He Runqing are two big brands, the rise of rose power, and the inevitable addition of Zhou Yan will make the company full of strength in this area, plus there is also an invincible four beauty bands in the world responsible for pressing the formation, the company's dominance in the record market has completed a semicircle.
And the remaining half of the circle naturally depends on their rising stars.
Zhuang Meiyue's debut, Dongguan Bookstore sold nearly 30,000 in the first week, and broke 30,000 in the second and third weeks, ranking below the four major beauty bands, firmly sitting second in weekly sales, and suppressed the little diva Li Xinru, who was listed a week late, so angry and miserable, until last week, she was finally rushed up, but even so, "At Least You" still has nearly 30,000 copies in a single week!
It can be said that there is no problem with this album breaking four million or five million in the future.
Therefore, the first shot that Zhuang Meiyue was responsible for was a beautiful start.
Then next, the pressure will naturally be transferred to Zhao Yuan, who will release an album in June.
Zhao Yuan in June, Ge Releng in August, and then...... Don't worry about anything in October, because it is the rose power that is in charge, at present, they are really popular to a certain extent, in the entire domestic music scene, except for the four major beauty bands, they will definitely be able to steadily overpower them, even Liao Liao is only slightly higher than them, and the advantage is not too big.
Of course, Liao Liao's achievements have been accumulated over the past few years, four or five albums one by one, from beginning to end, her achievements as a national queen have been stable to a terrible extent, and no matter how strong the rose is, after all, it is only the first album, if they want to challenge Liao Liao's current status in the rivers and lakes, they have to sell at least two more copies.
As for after October, it is He Runqing who is responsible for ending this year.
Of course, this was the original plan, and now, the plan obviously can't keep up with the changes, because according to the latest arrangement, Liao Liao's global album will be released globally in June - this is obviously a huge sales bomb.
However, Zhao Yuan's June listing is an established strategy to promote newcomers, and the company is not ready to adjust the release date of his album, so Zhao Yuan will go public under the huge pressure of the eldest sister, and this pressure will suddenly increase exponentially!
On the contrary, it is Zhou Ye, in the long run, the pressure is not small, but in the near future, he has just joined the company, like Wang Nanhao, who signed in not long ago, is still in the period of adaptation and adjustment, and the new album is not so anxious, you can do it slowly, and ensure that it can be listed within the next year.
However, after telling Zhao Yuan and Ge Rileng, He Runqing looked at Zhou Ye and Wang Nanhao with a smile, and said with a smile: "Remove Li Qian, the company is currently a typical yin and yang decline, so, from top to bottom, I really have high expectations for the four of you boys." Zhou Ye, I won't talk about it, when Li Qian and Liao Liao just came back a few days ago, we had a small meeting, and we also mentioned you, Liao Liao patted his chest and took your album over, and if she worries about you, I don't care. Then, Nan Hao, Li Qian values your creative ability very much, next, you save up a good song, and strive to start doing it by the end of this year, when the time comes, I will look at the time, if my new album is already busy, I will do it for you, if I am not busy, it must be Lao He who is responsible for taking you, his level, you can rest assured!"
Wang Nanhao nodded gratefully when he heard this, his face was a little red with excitement, "Well, I will definitely work hard." ”
Zhou Ye immediately shouted, "Don't Sister Runqing, you don't have anywhere to listen to my sister's words! She said to do it for me, maybe something will go wrong when the time comes! When the time comes, you still have to give me a support, so that I can have a little confidence in my heart!"
He Runqing glanced at him with a smile when he heard this, and pointed his finger at him, "I'll transfer your words to Liao Liao as they are, and see what she says!"
Zhou Ye was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly raised his hand to surrender, "Yes, I'll tell Sister Zhou this when I go back." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they all laughed.
That's right, don't care what Zhou Ye said to Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan is obviously impossible to speak!
But after laughing, He Runqing said: "But have you thought about it, your sister Zhou can talk to Li Qian!"
Zhou Ye shrugged.
Everyone laughed again.
Now on the company's side, this is basically the case.
Liao Liao is very strong, she is not only a strong national diva, but also an indispensable member of the four beauty bands, so her own weight is already very heavy, coupled with her identity as the boss lady, she is in the company, which is absolutely under one person and above everyone. Even Qi Jie, the general manager, is not higher than her status.
And as Zou Wenhuai became the company's artist director, he began to strongly intervene in the company's affairs, and at the same time, as we all know, once Zhou Yan's concert is over, she will definitely enter the company next.
At that time, everyone was worried that they would accidentally get involved in the tearing of the two proprietresses.
In this case, in Minghu Culture, the status is not lower than Liao Liao, and the qualifications and status of the rivers and lakes are enough to be on a par with Liao Liao and Zhou Yan and not fall behind, there is almost only one He Runqing left, plus He Runqing is already very popular, so it is conceivable that almost subconsciously, the new singers in the company have gathered around her.
Even Zhou Ye ...... Don't look at his relationship with Liao Liao is very iron, but when it comes to this kind of thing, there are Li Qian's women on both sides, and of course he doesn't want to be involved.
And He Runqing, on his side, took over this burden very consciously.
As the company's deputy director of music, as a veteran who has been in the music industry for many years, she consciously brought her relationship with these little brothers and sisters a little closer.
She is very clear about her next position within the company, that is: to do a good job of buffering between Liao Liao and Zhou Yan, and at the same time, try to pull everyone else into the middle.
At this time, everyone was chatting along the topic He Runqing had started while drinking tea, but Wang Nanhao blushed and said, "That...... Sister Runqing, if I release an album at that time, will Brother Qian think that I can write songs by myself, just ...... Just ......"
He Runqing was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then lost her smile, put down the teacup, and said: "Don't worry! You signed in with his personal nod, when we chatted and talked about things together, he was very optimistic about you, and if he felt that your album was not enough, would he give you more weight?"
After a pause, she said again: "Besides, so many people in the company release albums, and he gives songs, will you give them here?"
Wang Nanhao turned his head and thought about it when he heard this, as if he felt that it made sense, so he immediately nodded, and said a little shyly: "That's right, too!, Sister Runqing, when Brother Qian mentions me again, you can help me say a few good words, although I can write songs, but the songs I write are definitely not comparable to the songs written by Brother Qian, so if I make an album, I still hope that Brother Qian can write a few songs for me." ”
He Runqing recalled his experience of dealing with Li Qian a few years ago, and couldn't help but sigh, and said with a smile: "You, don't always be so cautious, you have been in for a few months, and you should see that although our company is getting bigger and bigger now, it is different from other companies." ”
After a pause, she smiled and said: "Xiaoyue, they won't talk about it, they are all pure newcomers signed in, but others, like me, like Liao Liao, and you, Zhou Ye, and those who have been in other record companies, all understand that a company, resources are limited, production capacity, ability to invite songs, including art, and even there are only a few recording studios, and the publicity intensity when it goes public is even more different, why, because the total number of resources they can use is indeed limited." In a company, you have so many colleagues, in order to get better and more resources, of course you have to fight! But in our company, there are no such things. ”
Speaking of this, she smiled, drank a cup of tea, and then continued: "In terms of publicity, throw money, our company's generosity, from Xiaoyue's album, you should all see it......, right?
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but smile more and more, and said: "I talked about this when I talked to Liao Liao, with Li Qian here, our company will have a song library that will almost never run out!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately laughed again.
Truly...... In the past few years since his debut, almost every year there are as few as twenty or thirty or as many as thirty or fifty works, and without exception they are all high-quality works, all of which are at the level of the title song, from the earliest Liao Liao and Wuxing Wusu, to the subsequent He Runqing, the Four Great Beauty Bands, Rose Power, and now Zhuang Meiyue, who is now known as the "little diva of love songs", is relying on his almost incomprehensible creative ability, Li Qian has come all the way, and has spelled out the current Minghu culture with one hand and one foot.
As long as his creative ability is not exhausted, theoretically speaking, Minghu Culture can achieve as fair distribution of resources as possible, so as not to make the relationship between singers in the company like those companies outside.
Everyone was laughing, the waiter knocked on the door again, the door opened, and sure enough, it was Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue and Sun Ruoxuan who came in apologetically...... You've been here for a long time, haven't you?"
Everyone stood up and said, "It's not long!"
The three of them sat down, everyone chatted casually, and when the waiter finished filling the tea, He Runqing ordered that the food could be served.
Obviously, as a landlord, she had already ordered the menu.
And after the waiter served two dishes, she had already poured the red wine for everyone herself, and then stood up, and when she saw that everyone stood up with wine glasses, she smiled: " Come on, this time, it is estimated that Li Qian and Liao Liao are still in the recording studio, let's not care about them, let's eat ours, drink ours, today, we are celebrating the big sale of Xiaoyue's new album, and at the same time, I also want to wish Zhao Yuan and Ge Rilen's albums a big hit, finally, the next sister's concert is about to start, you will definitely go to support your sister at that time, this, it can be regarded as a thank you to everyone, come, let's cheer!"
Everyone laughed and leaned over to the center to clink glasses, saying congratulations and blessings.
After drinking, he turned around and sat down, but Zhou Ye couldn't help but say: "But ha, I think the first two are very good for Sister Runqing, and they are the last one...... You've done so much with this table of wine, isn't it okay? I still want to bring my brothers to your hotel for a few more meals!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.
He Runqing also smiled, and then said: "Xie Bing, the three of them have it, I'll give each of you a VIP card when I go back, okay?"
Everyone was on the move.
…………
All kinds of good dishes are generally put on the table, and the speed of serving is extremely fast, everyone is young, this time while eating and drinking and chatting, the atmosphere of the banquet is extremely warm.
At this time, Zhuang Meiyue had already drunk more than one glass, a little drunk, but she felt that she was in a very good state, so she couldn't help but turn her head to look at He Runqing beside her, and after a while, she couldn't help but lean over and whispered: "Sister Runqing, how much does it cost to open a hotel as big as yours?"
He Runqing first turned his head and glanced at her in surprise when he heard this, and then understood what she meant, paused, she also leaned over, and whispered: "You, don't worry about this, go back and wait for your money to arrive, listen to me, let it go first, don't invest anything." ”
After a pause, she saw that Zhuang Meiyue looked puzzled, so she leaned over and bit her ear again, "At the end of last year, Li Qian mentioned that next, he is going to absorb several shareholders internally...... Got it?"
Zhuang Meiyue was stunned for a long time when she heard this, and then slowly widened her eyes.
He Runqing had already smiled at this time: "Okay, just know it, it's better to invest in the company than to do anything, right?"
When she said this, her voice was a little louder, and Zhou Ye, who was sitting next to her, heard half of it, and couldn't help but ask, He Runqing had no choice but to say what she just said again.
When she spoke, she observed carefully, and found that Xie Bing and the three of them didn't have much reaction, so she knew that the three of them already knew the news, but Zhou Ye, Zhao Yuan, and Ge Releng were stunned when they heard it.
In the industry, it can even be said that in the entire domestic entertainment industry, as far as they know, there is no company that makes more money than Minghu Culture - the albums launched are sold one after another, and the concert performers always quote sky-high prices, it can be said that since its establishment, Minghu Culture has never lost money in anything it has done, and almost everything is an extremely amazing input-output ratio!
So, you can imagine how high its profit margin must be, and how high its return on investment should be!
But because of this, the company is definitely not short of money!
However, there are no stupid people here, when they first heard the news, they were inevitably surprised, but soon, everyone came back to their senses: the boss is going to give money to the singers inside!
As for the reason, it's very simple, it's nothing uncommon to say: only by turning everyone into shareholders can this plate get bigger and bigger! Otherwise, just by virtue of a paper contract and a little popular kindness, the binding force is limited after all, if the company has made a lot of effort to make people popular, and after selling a few copies, the reputation has risen, and someone will change jobs?
And now, one buys shares, so that you can also come in as a shareholder and share the money, but everyone is tied to the same chariot!
In this way, although it is difficult to say that you can completely control job hopping, at least, the more consistent everyone's interests are, the less this kind of thing will definitely be!
…………
With such a news, the topic on the wine table suddenly became unified again.
Don't care if you are rich, compared to how Runqing and Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue, and Sun Ruoxuan are still not very rich at the moment, such as Zhuang Meiyue, Ge Releng and Zhao Yuan, and Zhou Ye, who has more or less a little savings, but in fact, everyone is obviously very interested in becoming a shareholder of the company.
Listening to everyone's discussions, Zhuang Meiyue's heart suddenly became steady.
If the share she will get next can be turned into shares in the company, it will of course be the last investment method she can think of - first, she has been in the company for nearly two years, even if she does not know the specific financial situation, she knows that the company's annual profits are extremely high, and second, it is completely out of absolute trust in the current leaders of the company almost without the slightest discount.
From Li Qian, to Qi Jie, to Liao Liao, He Runqing, He Wei...... From a newcomer who doesn't know anything, just like this, to two years later, she has become an instant hit, she knows these people, is familiar with these people's people, and is very relieved of them.
As a result, her investment idea, which had only been on for a few days, disappeared in an instant at this moment.
So, when Zhou Ye proposed that everyone have a toast for the boss's wise decision, she who has always been quiet not only responded positively, but also took a rare sip.
A big sip of wine entered the throat, and it felt extremely tender.
But then, He Runqing poured cold water with a smile, "Don't be too happy, maybe what's going to happen! Especially, our boss has been obsessed with making movies and TV series recently, and now, I don't know what the result will be...... Hehe, you'll be cheated by him then!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
The people here are all musicians, and they really don't know much about the film and television industry.
Therefore, when He Runqing said this, everyone naturally couldn't help but be a little subconsciously worried.
So then, it was Zhou Ye who couldn't help but ask: "Then, Sister Runqing, what about you? If you really mention this matter when the time comes, will you become a shareholder?"
When He Runqing heard this, he said without hesitation: "Of course I will enter! I will enter as much as he gives me, and I will smash the pot and sell iron!"
I don't know if what He Runqing said was too natural, and the attitude she just scared everyone was really a bit different, so when they heard the words at this time, everyone was stunned for a moment, and immediately, Sun Ruoxuan was the first to react, and couldn't help but bow her head and laugh.
Soon, everyone understood.
"Huh......"
Everyone looked at He Runqing, the eldest sister, with disdain, and booed mercilessly.
He Runqing himself laughed out loud without care.
That's right, that's Li Qian!
Although it is difficult to say what the result of investing in film and television will be, it is still difficult to say, but even if he loses a little? As long as his musical talent is not exhausted, Minghu Culture is definitely a kingucopia of kingmaria, at least in the music area!
…………
While everyone was talking and laughing, Wang Nanhao's mobile phone suddenly rang.
He hurriedly took out his mobile phone, and when he saw that it was his agent Lu Yue's number, he connected it, and Lu Yue opened his mouth and said: "I just knew, the boss has finished recording, so, remember, don't drink too much at night, and go to the company early tomorrow to line up!"
"Uh......" Wang Nanhao was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and his eyes couldn't help but light up at the moment, "Okay, I know!"
He hung up the phone, only to find that everyone was looking at him curiously, and then he realized that he might be acting a little too excited, so his voice was a little loud, and his face was suddenly a little embarrassed.
At this time, no one spoke, but He Runqing opened his mouth and broke the silence. She smiled and said, "It's done over there, right? Your agent got the news and quickly informed you, so you should go to the queue early tomorrow?"
Wang Nanhao was stunned again.
After a moment, he blushed and nodded, "Hmm".
He Runqing shrugged when he heard this, his eyes swept around the table, and said helplessly: "Yes, a good table of wine...... You're not going to dare to drink more now, are you?"
As she spoke, she put down her wine glass and said with a smile: "That's right, let's all get up early tomorrow and line up together, now it's not as easy as before to see him!"

It's so hanging, I don't know if it's late. (To be continued.) )
