Chapter 378: Doing Things
Zhao Zhenghao is not very interested in forming an entertainment empire, and when the scale of "Zhenghao Studio" was not large before, he was impatient to deal with those trivial matters, and he flew up as a big shopkeeper.
In the future, the scale of "Zhenghao Studio" will become bigger and bigger, and there will only be more and more things, relying on Zhao Zhenghao, he can't manage it at all, and with his temperament, he can't be trusted!
Wang Yulan, Ren Lan and others, after several years of training, their ability has been significantly improved, but to manage a company with assets of up to 10 billion yuan and will be higher in the future, it is bound to be overwhelmed.
Even if several professional managers have been hired to assist them before, the specifications after the completion of the studio's expansion seem to be a bit insufficient.
It is inevitable to continue to recruit people.
Moreover, this recruitment is not only for the middle and low-level staff, but more importantly, for those senior managers, the level of ability of these people will directly determine the smooth development of "Zhenghao Studio" in the future and the speed of expansion.
After the expansion, the name of "Zhenghao Studio" is actually a bit inappropriate, but the shareholders of the studio have no intention of changing the company's name.
Compared with giant entertainment companies of similar size, the equity composition of "Zhenghao Studio" is relatively simple.
Zhao Zhenghao, who originally owned 90% of the equity of the studio, although the equity under his name was divided into the "Music Teaching Project" Foundation and the "Diandian Trust Fund", only the dividends of the equity were divided, and the voting rights were still in his hands.
After Yu Yabin and Feng Xiaojing joined, "Zhenghao Studio" carried out an equity adjustment, and from Zhao Zhenghao and Wang Yulan, the two original only two shareholders, some shares were divided according to proportion, and gave them to Yu Yabin, Feng Xiaojing, and the four members of the "Heroic Spirit" band.
The reason for doing this is, of course, to make them have a greater sense of belonging to "Zhenghao Studio", and from its artists to minority shareholders.
Although everyone gets less than the equity, with the size of "Zhenghao Studio" and profitability, the dividends that can be obtained every year are not small.
In the future, as the scale of the studio grows larger, there are more and more artists under it, and there are more and more senior managers, and the equity will inevitably be adjusted again.
However, no matter how much the equity is adjusted and how many shareholders are added, the control of the studio has always been firmly in the hands of Zhao Zhenghao.
"Zhenghao Studio" itself is a capital cow with strong milk production, and the expansion can be completed by its own funds, without the need to introduce external funds, which makes the equity of the studio not outflow on a large scale.
In addition, the equity in the hands of people like Yu Yabin, Feng Xiaojing, Wang Rui, Liu Yang, Yin Zeqing, Tian Xiaolei, and Ren Lan is clearly stated in the equity transfer contract, but it is only the right to dividends.
Moreover, these equities are only valid within the validity period of their contract with "Zhenghao Studio", and when the contract expires and does not renew the contract with "Zhenghao Studio", "Zhenghao Studio" will pay a generous bonus at one time, and at the same time take back these equities - that bonus is actually equivalent to an equity ransom.
There is bound to be a price difference between that bonus and equity, and the price difference will not be small.
Even with the current market value of "Zhenghao Studio", even if there is only one percent of the equity, the market value will exceed 100 million, and in a few years, when the expansion of "Zhenghao Studio" is completed, the work of various departments will be regularized, and the market value will inevitably have a huge leap, which will double several times on the current basis.
And the bonus paid by "Zhenghao Studio" at that time is at most tens of millions, which is what it means.
Even so, the approach of "Zhenghao Studio" can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and there is nothing to blame.
No one's money is blown by the wind!
The reason why there is such a provision is just a precaution, and ugly words are ahead.
With the relationship between Yu Yabin, Feng Xiaojing and Zhao Zhenghao, even if there is no equity tie, they will never leave the "Zhenghao Studio", and the four members of the "Heroic" band enjoy better treatment in the "Zhenghao Studio" than going out alone, and there is no possibility of leaving.
Wang Yulan and Ren Lan are not to mention, without "Zhenghao Studio", there would be no where they are today, "Zhenghao Studio" provides them with the best stage to perform, except here, no company will give a girl like them who has only been out of school for a few years, so much power, so much trust.
This regulation is guarded against latecomers, such as those who were launched from the "Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", and in the future, there will be people who will reach the current status of Feng Xiaojing and Yu Yabin, and then the "Zhenghao Studio" will also distribute equity to them according to the usual practice.
No man is content.
People's hearts are fickle, among these people, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will have the idea of flying solo after the wings are full, when the time comes, the "Zhenghao Studio" will not be forced to stay, the strong twisted melon is not sweet, it is good to gather and disperse, "Zhenghao Studio" except for Zhao Zhenghao, but no one will be too bad!
However, when breaking up, it is necessary to divide the equity, contract and other matters clearly, so as not to cause disputes afterwards and hurt the situation.
Another point, making such a provision also has the purpose of Qianjin City's horse bones, wanting to take over the meat and bone of equity dividends, and attract several capable senior managers for the "Zhenghao Studio".
Now it seems that the effect is still good, the film department, the music department, and the variety show department have each recruited a senior manager to be responsible for the expansion of their respective departments, and the work is carried out in an orderly manner according to the plan, helping Wang Yulan, Ren Lan, especially Zhao Zhenghao, to share a lot.
On some key issues, Zhao Zhenghao really did just need to move his mouth and let the people below run and break their legs.
After these chores were sorted out, Zhao Zhenghao put his energy on the production of the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom".
In fact, in the production of this season, Zhao Zhenghao only needs to be his mentor, like An Shuyi, Liu Runze, and Ju Qinghao, just do his own job, and he doesn't need to worry about everything like in the first season.
After the experience of the first season, the members of the "The Voice of the Dragon Country" working group have grown up, from raw melons and eggs to mature hands, most of the work has the successful experience of the first season to learn from, and only needs to be strictly implemented step by step, and the pressure on the staff has been reduced a lot compared to the first season.
The recording work is still carried out in the Sanya Gymnasium, which has become the freehold property of "Zhenghao Studio".
Zhao Zhenghao didn't expect that the recording had just begun, and a big thing happened!
In order to increase the interest of the show, the director team of "The Voice of the Dragon Country" launched its subjective initiative and added another flower to the blind audition, and launched the "double blind selection" plan - with a curtain, the stage was enclosed, and the contestants sang in the middle of the curtain, not only the four mentors who turned their backs to the stage could not see the contestants, but the contestants could not see whether there were any mentors who turned around for him, and who turned around for him!
When the contestants finished singing and the mentor chose to complete, the curtain slowly fell, and the two sides met each other, the purpose of which was the mystery that could not be solved for a long time, and the feeling of itching!
The first contestant to appear in the first recording was fortunate to be selected as a "double-blind selection" contestant, and before and after the stage, except for the staff, no one could see who he was or what he looked like.
The students who can be selected as "double-blind selection" contestants can only be two types of people, one is superior strength, and with a good voice alone, he can amaze the audience and make the tutor can't wait to turn around for him;
The first contestant to appear in the first recording of the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", neither of the above two types of people belongs, he is a special third type of people!
This student's background is quite mysterious, not only the four major instructors and the audience at the recording site, when she sang, only heard her voice, but did not see her, and even the other students who were selected for the list of 100 people with her had not met her before this, because she did not participate in the training camp before the recording, she was treated specially, and there was a special person to tutor.
Including the staff of the "Voice of the Dragon Country" program team, before the curtain fell on the stage, there were only a few people who knew her origin and identity, and the confidentiality measures were taken to the extreme.
This student's voice recognition is not very obvious, not the kind of characteristic singer who can be remembered as soon as she opens her voice, and no matter where she hears her singing in the future, she can always match the number one for the first time.
Her singing skills and voice conditions are not excellent, from the use of breathing, it can be felt that she has received professional training, should have a professional music college study background, professional background.
However, her singing is quite able to capture people's hearts, and the songs she chooses are very suitable for her voice conditions, and her singing skills can also meet the needs of interpretation, and her emotional expression is quite abundant.
Although she didn't open her voice to wake up the ears of others, it was an amazing feeling, but the eloquent interpretation could slowly immerse people in her singing.
To describe her singing in one word, it is "comfortable"!
When I listen to it, it's like when I'm tired, lying in the bathtub, wrapped in water at the right temperature, warm, swaying, and flickering, from the inside out, from the bottom to the top, a sense of comfort arises spontaneously.
With a singing voice with this ability, the audience will definitely not be bad, and after the debut, the prospects are promising!
"The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom" starts with a clear meaning, and the choice is "a good voice"! And what kind of voice can be regarded as a "good voice"?
A very simple logic that can be accepted by the audience and willing to pay for the voice can be called a "good voice"!
No matter how good your voice is, no matter how good your singing skills are, and how recognizable your voice is, but the audience just doesn't buy it, and no one listens to your song, then this voice can't be called a "good voice".
Market determinism, in the music industry, is equally applicable!
The quality of this mysterious singer on the stage may not be the best in all aspects, but because her singing voice has an audience, everyone is willing to buy for her singing, she is a veritable "good voice"!
This truth, Zhao Zhenghao, An Shuyi, Liu Runze, Ju Qinghao and other senior celebrities naturally will not be unaware, so there is no doubt that An Shuyi, Liu Runze, and Ju Qinghao are scrambling to turn around for her.
Zhao Zhenghao was the last to press the button in front of him, because he had a doubt in his heart - how did the voice echoing in his ears sound so familiar, and it seemed that he had heard it somewhere!
Although Zhao Zhenghao does not have the legendary "absolute tone" and super memory, he can remember all the sounds he has heard, and when he hears it again, he can quickly compare it, but he can still leave a deep impression on some voices with deep memory points.
This voice on the stage, he decided to hear it before, and heard it more than once!
It's just that in his past and present lives combined, he has heard too many more memorable voices, and his energy during the recent period has been occupied by other things, and he has no time to be distracted, and when he hears this familiar voice again, he can't mobilize his memory, and he can't remember who she is for a while.
However, Zhao Zhenghao did not miss this good voice on the stage because he was entangled in this problem, and before she finished singing, he still pressed the button and turned around for her.
The first contestant to appear on stage in the first recording of the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom", as a "double-blind selection" contestant, won the fourth turn of the mentor, such a result can definitely be regarded as a good start!
The four mentors had heard the program team mention the "double-blind selection" before, but they didn't know much about the specific situation, and the program team had to wait until the end of the matter to reveal the answer in order to maintain a sense of mystery.
Therefore, An Shuyi, Liu Runze, Ju Qinghao, including Zhao Zhenghao, who has some concepts of the so-called "double-blind selection", when they turned around and saw a curtain on the stage, and the figures of the contestants were hidden behind the curtain, the surprised expressions on their faces did not have too many performance components, and they were quite real.
When the curtain fell, and the "double-blind selection" contestants on the stage finally revealed the true face of Lushan, the surprised expressions on the faces of the four mentors were even more real!
The contestant on the stage doesn't need to introduce herself anymore, because everyone present, including the audience, can call her name - Zhao Zhihui!
This is the big thing that Zhao Zhihui, Wang Yulan, Ren Lan and others did to hide from Zhao Zhenghao - let Zhao Zhihui hide her identity and participate in the second season of "The Voice of the Dragon Kingdom"!
Judging from the reactions of everyone at the recording site, this incident was quite good, beyond everyone's expectations!
Indeed, no one could have imagined in advance that Zhao Zhihui would officially appear in front of everyone as a singer for the first time in such a way!
