Chapter 181: The Genius Returns
It's hard to say whether Huang Guolun can lead Kunlun Music to take off, but he is indeed the backbone of Kunlun Music.
Two days after moving back to Zixing Mansion, Huang Guolun appeared in the company.
Liu Qing and others were shocked when they saw that Huang Guolun came to the company with Huang Guokun that morning!
Is this really Huang Guolun?
He's almost the same as he was three years ago!
Isn't he seriously ill?
Recuperation and recovery so good?
I feel that time and illness have not left any traces on Huang Guolun's body!
These employees of the company, whether they know Huang Guolun or not, are extremely surprised and excited because of Huang Guolun's sudden appearance!
When Huang Guolun returned to the company, he only saw a few familiar old faces, most of whom were new to him.
Kunlun Culture is currently still working in the Sanlitun business district.
The address is still the same as the old one, but the office space of the company is twice as large.
Previously, Huang Guokun subleased half of the company's office building to a friend to run an advertising company.
That friend is not a down-to-earth person, and he made a mess of the company.
Two years ago, after Kunlun Culture relied on "Qing Ben Jia Corpse" to revive his blood, Huang Guokun took back the half of the company that was subleased, renovated it simply, and established Kunlun Music in it.
At present, the staff of Kunlun Music are working in this half of the area, and there is a professional recording studio inside, which is all thrown out by Kunlun Culture with real money.
At that time, many old members of the film and television department were very dissatisfied with Huang Guokun throwing so much money at the music department.
They all feel like it's a waste of money.
Several core executives of the company formed a knot with Huang Guokun because of this incident, and finally left their posts and changed jobs.
At that time, they all felt that Huang Guokun was too subjective and emotional, and according to his development method, Kunlun Culture could not be a first-line entertainment company at all.
But no one expected that after two years of work, Kunlun Music, which is regarded as a "money-burning machine", has become a money-making machine for the company.
In the past two years, if Kunlun Music had not helped Kunlun Culture create performance and encouraged the company's cash flow, Kunlun Culture would have asked Mr. Huang's investment company for blood transfusion.
It's been a whole year, and Kunlun Pictures hasn't made any money for the company.
The several big online movies they have made in a row have all failed on the battlefield, and the former leader of the Internet has now become a laughing stock in people's eyes.
At present, the morale of the company's film and television department is extremely low, but Huang Guokun is still holding on, relying on non-stop filming to train the new team, and also maintaining the company's framework.
Huang Guokun himself knows very well that Kunlun Pictures is now making a movie and losing a movie, and their more rational way should be to slow down first, stop and don't shoot anything, and then concentrate on betting on a big one when they are fully prepared.
It's a pity that he doesn't have the capital to gamble now, and if he stops filming, the core personnel in the new team that has been grinding for a year may be gone again.
was made by Wanshi Pictures, and now Kunlun Culture has a very poor reputation in the industry, and it is very difficult for them to recruit talents again.
So he could only take a breath and continue to make movies. Even if he loses money, he has to keep shooting. He had to give his men a bite to eat, and he had to keep the hope in their hearts going.
Huang Guolun knows very well that Huang Guokun is now working very hard to support Kunlun Pictures.
In this regard, Huang Guolun is also helpless, he has no ability to get involved in these things in the film industry.
He didn't understand any of that at all.
In his previous life, he had never watched a big online movie, so if he wanted to give Huang Guokun some advice, he couldn't give it.
He wanted to help Huang Guokun copy some classic online movies, but he couldn't copy them.
In the big movies shown in theaters, he knows a little.
He also wants to bring over some big movies that he likes very much, such as his favorite "Lao Paoer" or something.
But with his current abilities, as well as their company's current financial resources and connections, they simply can't promote the huge plan to make a big movie.
When their company is really rich and has developed a huge network of people, he will help Huang Guokun develop a big movie plan.
In the past two years, although Kunlun culture has made some achievements in the circle, and has signed Bai Yao, a popular figure in Asia, the scale and volume of Kunlun culture are actually very, very small, and they cannot be compared with those large companies.
Its influence in the circle has been exhausted.
Kunlun Pictures' current strength and influence are estimated to be inferior to some small companies that have just started at the million-level level.
After hollowing out Huang Guolun's musical treasures, Kunlun Music has also had a serious weakening trend recently.
If it weren't for Bai Yao, who released a new song every few months and sold the copyright to help the company get back, Kunlun Music would not be able to hold on.
Of course, Kunlun Music's so-called can't hold on, because it can't hold up and give blood to the whole company, Kunlun Music's own business situation is still very healthy.
In the past two years, Chinese pop music has made a big recovery, as long as there are good works and singers become famous, it is relatively easy for music companies to make quick money, but it is difficult to make a lot of money.
The current situation in this circle is that it will never starve you to death, but it will not be able to support you.
Singers like Nanfang and Shen Yumeng, who have had popular works in the past two years, even if they don't release new songs, they can still make money for the company and themselves by eating cold meals and participating in various variety shows and commercial performances.
But they are also struggling to maintain, they want to go to the next level, like the popular singers of those big music companies, they can sign tens of millions of endorsements, it is almost impossible.
Kunlun Music's ability and relationship in the circle are currently very limited, even a small music company, and Kunlun Pictures is holding back, it is difficult for them to provide a bigger platform for singers like Nanfang.
To be honest, if it weren't for Huang Guolun's return at this time, which injected a strong boost into the company, Nanfang might have jumped ship again.
Dolphin Music, which had been in the south for six years, was acquired by Ali Music last year, and has now been merged into Ali Music, which is one of the top three major music companies in China.
Southern's previous agents and bosses have expressed to him that they want him to come back.
In the past, the south was not popular, he was old, and he had no training value, so their company naturally did not pay attention to his development.
But in the past two years, relying on Huang Guolun's several golden songs, after being promoted to a first-line male singer, Dolphin Music regretted not paying attention to the south at the beginning.
They have cultivated the south for so long, and they have become popular in other companies, how can they not be blushing?
After learning about the bottleneck of development coming in from the south, the Dolphins' team immediately threw an olive branch to the south, hoping with great sincerity that the south would return and that they would provide a better development platform for the south.
Compared with the current dolphin music and Kunlun music, one has been on the giant aircraft carrier, and the other is still a small boat floating alone on the sea.
If it weren't for Shen Yumeng's constant persuasion of the south not to return to the dolphins, the south might have left. Because he stayed in Kunlun Music, he really couldn't see hope.
Huang Guolun suddenly returned to the company that morning, and there was no sign before.
Nanfang, who was performing in Xiacheng, was pleasantly surprised when he received the news.
But then, there are some contradictions and entanglements in the south.
In fact, yesterday, the Dolphin team contacted him again, upgraded the conditions for him to sign a contract, and promised him a signing fee of 3 million after tax, which almost made him unable to refuse.
At that time, for the sake of Shen Yumeng, Nanfang only wanted one more condition with the dolphins, that is, the dolphins wanted to help Shen Yumeng and Kunlun Music terminate the contract and bring Shen Yumeng over together.
It's a pity that the dolphin team is not very interested in Shen Yumeng, they are only interested in the south, which is still popular, and they have to go back to the meeting to discuss it and then give a reply to the south.
But in fact, even if the Dolphin team doesn't sign Shen Yumeng, Nanfang is already tempted, because the signing conditions offered to him over there are too tempting.
From the point of view of his personal development, there is no reason why he should not sign with Dolphins.
But now that Huang Guolun is back, the determination that the south has just made up is about to swing again.
What kind of musical talent Huang Guolun is, the south knows best.
But that was three years ago.
Huang Guolun, who has evaporated from the world for so long, suddenly returned, is he still as talented as before?
Did his serious illness affect his work?
Can he still write those golden songs that he used to have?
If Huang Guolun has no creative ability after he returns, it will be useless to the south.
Even if Huang Guolun still has the creative ability of his former genius after his return, Nanfang feels that it is more beneficial for his personal development to jump ship to dolphin music and join Ali's aircraft carrier-level music platform.
Huang Guolun is certainly a genius, but Ali has signed many heavyweight musicians in the Chinese music circle, and has worked closely with many big names in the world music circle.
These musicians may not be able to do Huang Guolun one-on-one, but they are much better than Huang Guolun together!
Coupled with the world-class platform here, it can provide him with greater development opportunities, as long as he jumps over, he can immediately go to the next level, and he can also get a lot of signing fees, he really doesn't need to continue to spend money with Kunlun Music!
After thinking about it, Nanfang still felt that returning to dolphin music would be more beneficial for his personal development.
It's just that when he left, it was not easy to explain the Kunlun music that made him popular, as well as Huang Guolun.
At present, those who can create greater value for Kunlun music belong to him and Bai Yao.
But Bai Yao has faded out of this circle more and more.
In a sense, he is now the pillar of Kunlun music.
If he leaves, the impact on Kunlun music will be very great.
But if people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!
After thinking about it, the south still wants to go.
He didn't even want to go back to the company to face Huang Guolun again, so as not to be embarrassed.
