Chapter 61: Reminder and the start of the program
"It's stormy all over the city!"
Liang Dong must admit that he was thinking too much about Qi Chu's withdrawal, which is not as simple as withdrawing from the game, but a game of interests. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Don't look at Qi Chu's grievances in the program group, and he carried the biggest black pot for the show. But how much money has he made since he participated in the show?
As far as Liang Dong knows, the program team invited Qi Chu at a price of 200,000 yuan per episode. At the end of the four episodes, he should be able to take one million from the program team. In this carnival of interests, the invitation fee paid by the program group is only a small part, and the real big head is in other places - commercial performances.
Qi Chu was actually popular in the last place, but after entering the new century, his fame has been declining, and his worth has long been different. Since participating in the show, his value has not only recovered, but also improved.
More importantly, Qi Chu did have a value in the past, but no investor was willing to invite him. There is no way, who makes him unable to drive young audiences, without the support of young audiences, investors will not be able to make money, and the cost performance is not high.
What now? There was a large number of young viewers willing to support Qi Chu, and he regained a group of fans. After merchants or advertisers saw that Qi Chu was famous, they were willing to spend a lot of money to invite him.
In these four weeks, he has performed more than 20 commercial performances, which is more than last year. Each commercial performance also requires a minimum appearance fee of 500,000 yuan, and the total price of all commercial performances has exceeded 10 million.
Even if he will be divided by the company, he can still have millions of income. It's only been four weeks, and he'll be doing other shows and more commercial shows in the future.
In a year, Shan Qichu's income alone will be at least 40 million.
A show creates a cash cow within three years, which entertainment company is not impressed? That singer doesn't want to participate?
Therefore, what Qi Chu gave to Liang Dong was not a recommended place at all, but an admission ticket with a total value of more than 10 million and a hot potato.
Talent and wealth are moving, and ordinary people are willing to take risks for tens of thousands of dollars, let alone tens of millions or hundreds of millions, which is enough to make many people spend a lot of money. This is not one of the reasons why Qi Chu took the initiative to give him the recommended candidates, even if he didn't send them away, he couldn't keep them.
Qi Chu relied on too many people in the process of becoming famous, and giving the quota to anyone meant offending another group of people. He still needs to make a living in the circle in the future, and he can't and doesn't dare to offend them. Changing places became his best choice.
After comprehensive consideration, he found Liang Dong. Among the seven groups of singers, he is the only one who is not worried about being approached by other entertainment companies, anyway, he has the capital to resist everything.
"This human spirit was used once unconsciously!" Sighing lightly, Liang Dong sighed with emotion. At first, he was still suspicious of the reason why Qi Chu found the invitation to sing, he thought that "The Story of Time" and "Ordinary Road" moved him, but now that he thinks about it, it was actually another factor that moved him.
"A simple show is getting more and more complicated!" After his coffee, he got up and went to rest.
What is the variety show filmed for? It's not about making money yet. "I Am a Singer" is the same, and the program team has huge ambitions, they not only want to make money but also have word of mouth, so there are alternative rules of the game.
If you look closely, you can see that the rules of the game are also working for some people. For example, a cooperative entertainment company, or Shangguan Lin and Yang Tao, every singer who participates in the show has a relationship with them.
is not a singer of an entertainment company, or has a great relationship with them. Only then will they have a chance to be on stage. If it weren't for the people in their circle, the program team wouldn't have invited them at all. Unless, they can bring more popularity to the show.
For example, the big and small singers, kings and queens, they are not in the circle, and the program team will still invite them. It's just that at that time, it was already the singers who discussed with the program team.
Every singer, they will bring tens of millions of benefits on the show, how to distinguish those benefits, especially how to distribute the greater benefits generated by the singers after they join, those are the biggest factors that determine whether the top singers can participate.
The reason why many people on the planet broke the news that big-name singers don't participate in the show is that they are worried about shady, this statement doesn't grasp the point at all, what is shady? As long as you can make money, even if there is a big shady scene, there are still people who are desperate.
No matter how nice it sounds, the most fundamental reason is always profit. Before the interests are negotiated, it is impossible for them to agree to the invitation of the program team.
If the god of song is willing to participate in the show, the benefits will multiply and multiply, and it is impossible for big names to be willing to make wedding dresses for others. If they don't fight for it, the final benefit will become someone else's pocket, and they can only earn a small part.
The cake of "I Am a Singer" is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more tempting, there are many people who want to eat this cake, and how to distribute it in the end is the result of negotiations between the program team and the bigwigs.
"Those things have nothing to do with me, I just want to find a stage to sing, and for the dream of my previous life!" Liang Dong didn't do it for the big cake, he just wanted to sing. And don't other program groups have a similar situation? No, they'll be more complicated than "I Am a Singer".
They are all members of the circle, and they have worked hard in the circle for at least ten years, and everyone knows some unspoken rules. Even if you use means, you will not break through the bottom line, and you will retain a point of face. If they are replaced by a group of new people, they will do anything for the sake of profit. Even if they don't agree, there will be companies behind them.
In the face of interests, celebrities do not have much autonomy.
"Brother Seagull, are you about to go?" After returning to the room, Liang Dong called Zhou Haiou directly.
Compared with the bitterness of the first meeting, Zhou Haiou is now very excited: "I have almost packed up, let your sister-in-law watch the children at home, today I will rush to Dujuan City and meet Director Yang Tao with you!" ”
Liang Dong only has the right to recommend places, and as for whether to become a fill-in singer, he still needs the program team to make an idea, that is, Yang Tao to make a decision.
With Liang Dong's fame, as well as the relationship between him and Shangguan Lin, unless the recommended singer is too bad, there will be no accidents.
"Okay, it's good if my sister-in-law agrees. But don't come here today, book a ticket for the night of the 24th. Don't come to the TV station when you go to Dujuan City, find a club nearby and wait for us, and I will bring Director Yang Tao over! Liang Dong said that he must now reduce Zhou Haiou's attention.
Zhou Haiou is only a small character, and he has almost no resistance in the face of those behemoths. If you don't take things seriously, there is a good chance that something will happen on his side.
Zhou Haiou was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"There is no problem, there have been many people who have hit you for this quota recently, we still have to pay attention to one point, and you can't be too public-minded before you appear on the stage of the show!" Liang Dong said in a deep voice.
Zhou Haiou was not in the entertainment industry for the first day, knowing the meaning of this sentence, he nodded: "Understood, I will notify Boss Lin and ask him to help me change the ticket!" ”
"Boss Lin?" Liang Dong was slightly stunned, why did he suddenly jump out of a Boss Lin?
Sensing that Liang Dong was a little confused, Zhou Haiou hurriedly explained: "It's Boss Lin who you met in the bar last time, don't look at him yelling at me last time, in fact, he usually treats me very well, I only need to sing for four days a month, but I have an income of 100,000 yuan." If he hadn't taken care of me all these years, I would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago. Knowing that you were going to recommend me to participate in the show, he took the initiative to book a ticket for me! Brother, I'm not stupid and sweet, I still have to pay attention to what I should pay attention to! ”
"Okay, Brother Seagull is still so watertight. I'm relieved, I'll try to contact you as little as possible before the show starts, and I'll let you know when you get off the plane! ”
Liang Dong didn't expect that Boss Lin would take good care of Zhou Haiou, and he could get 100,000 yuan a month by singing four songs, which was a good opportunity to perform on an out-of-fashion singer.
As for whether Zhou Haiou lied, what are the facts? He's not a police officer, so he cares about the truth?
"Okay, see you in Cuckoo City!" After Zhou Haiou agreed, he hung up the phone.
"Let's hope everything goes well!" Putting down the phone and looking at the brightly lit Mango TV station not far away, Liang Dong sighed lightly.
It was in this situation that the fourth issue of "I Am a Singer" and the second knockout round finally kicked off.
