Chapter 229: Still a Million

Liang Dong knew if Chu Mu's intentions were met?

Of course, he knew that he knew very well in his heart that the main reason why Chu Mu chose to cooperate with him was to use fame. Now that he knows, why would he choose to cooperate?

The reason is actually very simple, in addition to the benefits of Chu Mu in this cooperation, Liang Dong himself will also get huge benefits, and the most important point is connections.

The most valuable thing about a star is fame, and only when he is recognized by the public will he have economic value, and only then will someone be willing to praise him. Similarly, fame is also the least valuable thing a star has.

Fame is not RMB, not connections, not a resource, it is like the air around us, no one can do without it, but it is impossible to control it. Fame is too illusory, and it comes and disappears faster.

No celebrity dares to store fame, they will all exchange fame for resources in the shortest possible time, and at worst for funds. The market changes too quickly, maybe the star is loved by everyone one day, and the next day it will be replaced by a newcomer. In addition, the forces in the circle are rampant, in case you accidentally provoke someone, the more famous you are, the harder you fall.

This is not the reason why celebrities frequently receive endorsements, variety shows, and commercial performances for a certain period of time. No matter how great fame is, it is not worth money, and unless it can be exchanged for resources, there is no point in accumulating fame.

A-list stars don't just rely on fame, their status is all made up of resources. has no resources and connections, no matter how famous he is, he is just a newcomer in the eyes of insiders.

Liang Dong is not a newcomer, his debut for more than ten years is his biggest capital, and after having this capital, he has the opportunity to participate in the real game of the entertainment industry.

What kind of game is the game in the entertainment industry? In fact, it is a game of resources and connections, unless a third party intervenes strongly, otherwise even funds have to stand aside. There are various small circles in the entertainment industry, and they have the most top resources.

Top endorsements, top directors, and top scripts are all in their hands, and they will only choose insiders when preparing a certain work, and outsiders don't even have the opportunity to participate.

From the beginning, Liang Dong wanted to rely on his cooperation with Chu Mu to make some circles willing to accept him. Only by integrating into those circles can he have a chance to impact the first-line position.

What is the front line? It's not the boasting of the media, let alone the fans waving their flags behind the scenes, but it depends on how much capital you have.

There is no top endorsement on his body, he has not cooperated with a big director, he has not won important awards, and rashly shouting that he is a first-line star will only make people laugh.

Is Liang Dong short of resources?

If he plays the identity of the son-in-law of the Lin family, he will not lack any resources. All kinds of entertainment company owners, directors, and spokespersons who want to tie up the Lin family will put the best resources in front of him and let him choose. The extravagant resources of others are just at his fingertips.

But Liang Dong was unwilling to take the first path, he wanted to rely on his own strength to be on an equal footing with the Lin family. Hiding the aura of the Lin family, he is indeed very short of resources, especially first-line resources. From Chu Mu, he was able to open a breakthrough.

With Liang Dong's fame, Chu Mu took advantage of him by cooperating with him. In addition to the funds for the purchase of songs, he needs to compensate Liang Dong in other aspects, otherwise he will owe Liang Dong a great favor.

If you want to stay in the entertainment industry, you can owe debts, but you can't owe favors. Every favor needs to pay a huge price to solve. If there is a conflict of interests between celebrities, it can be solved by paying money, and if they owe favors, God knows how disgusting things the other party will do with those favors.

There is a specific number of money owed, but there is no specific number of favors, and if the other party is not satisfied, they can continue to threaten with favors. Even if they don't care about human favors, the team and company behind them will inevitably use these favors to do certain things.

Don't overestimate the bottom line of celebrities, in the vanity fair in the entertainment industry, the bottom line is used to break.

Liang Dong's plan is indeed very good, and he can do a lot of things with the help of Chu Mu's network. It's a pity that with his understanding of the entertainment industry, his dream of being on an equal footing with the Lin family with the help of the entertainment industry was completely broken.

Not to mention that he is just a star, even if he integrates the power of the entertainment industry, as long as the upper echelons continue to treat the entertainment industry as a child, it is impossible for him to be on an equal footing with the Lin family.

The goal has been shattered, and Liang Dong is more casual about cooperating with Chu Mu. It's better to be able to cooperate, and it doesn't matter much if you can't cooperate.

Chu Mu didn't know Liang Dong's true thoughts, and he was very satisfied with his cooperation with Liang Dong. The quality of the songs, the fame of the creator all meet the conditions, and it is impossible for him not to be satisfied.

Satisfied, there is only one last question.

"The song is really great, but I don't know if Mr. Liang is willing to cut his love? If so, I want to buy the copyright at a suitable price. ”

Chu Mu's words are a bit redundant, if he is unwilling to sell the song, Liang Dong will not take out the song. What he really meant was to ask the price, everyone is also a person in the literary and artistic circles, and what he said was too explicit was not beautiful.

Liang Dong understood what Chu Mu meant, but he was not in a hurry to bid, but asked a seemingly unrelated question: "I like "One Hero, One Monk and One Scholar very much", and I am very honored to be able to participate in the creation of TV. I just don't know if Mr. Chu has a suitable singer!"

The price is completely different whether the original creator sings the song or buys the song for other singers to sing.

If you let the original artist sing, the price will be much lower. Because in addition to copyright and later income, the honor belongs entirely to the creator himself. If there is too much difference between the level of the buyer and the original creator, not only does the buyer not have to spend money, but the original creator may also have to pay the buyer.

The reason is very simple, if Liang Dong is replaced by a rookie singer, the entertainment company knows that Chu Mu wants to buy the songs in the hands of the newcomer. Not to mention that Chu Mu is willing to pay, even if it is an entertainment company that is upside down. It is very clear how sensational the newcomer will be when he is recognized by Chu Mu. With the right operation, a new singer can quickly gain a foothold and gain a lot of fame.

This situation is equivalent to Chu Mu's end of the promotion for the newcomer singer, and the entertainment company is naturally willing to pay for it.

If you let other singers sing after the purchase, it means that the purchaser has bought from the original creator in addition to the copyright. The original creator does not have any rights to the song other than the selling price.

Hearing this question, Chu Mu said without hesitation: "Teacher Liang Dong likes it, of course I hope to invite Teacher Liang to really participate in the production of the TV series!"

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Chu Mu's meaning was very clear, and he wanted Liang Dong to sing the song himself.

If it was just to sell copyrights, Liang Dong lowered the price of the song in his heart, except for the later income, the song still belonged to him, and he was embarrassed to quote too high a price.

However, before Liang Dong could speak, Chu Mu suddenly said: "If you can, I hope that Teacher Liang Dong can sing "The Difficult Sutra" on the stage of "I Am a Singer". ”

Liang Dong was stunned for a moment, and reacted instantly. Chu Mu's goals include "I Am a Singer" in addition to him.

"I Am a Singer" is the only phenomenal variety show in recent times, and the ratings are rising steadily, and there will be countless viewers in each episode. Singing "The Difficult Sutra" on the stage of "I Am a Singer" is tantamount to a nationwide publicity, and the effect will even be better than the national promotion.

Nationwide promotion, some viewers who don't like propaganda will be disgusted. "I Am a Singer" is different, conquer the audience with singing, they will not reject. If the performance is excellent, it can attract the audience's expectations for the TV series.

From inviting songs to hoping that Liang Dong will sing the theme song on the stage of "I Am a Singer", a series of plans are interlocking, and in order to expand the influence of the TV series, Chu Mu has indeed made frequent means.

Liang Dong was silent for a moment, and finally did not refuse: "If the "I Am a Singer" program group allows, I don't mind singing on stage once!"

He really doesn't mind singing "The Sutra of Difficult Reading", but he needs the permission of the program team. Will the program team reject Liang Dong? They won't. But what if Liang Dong didn't come forward?

If you want to be recognized by the program team, Chu Mu needs to pay some price.

"Of course, this is not a cooperation between the two of us, but a three-way cooperation, so naturally we have to make it clear to our partners!" Chu Mu directly agreed, even if Liang Dong didn't say it, he would notify Mango TV. As for the cost?

Basically, there will be no price, Mango TV has been discussing with him about the broadcast rights recently, and it is a big deal to give them a priority, anyway, Mango TV is also within the priority scope of cooperation.

Liang Dong nodded, he didn't care how Chu Mu communicated with Mango TV, since Chu Mu bought himself and the influence of "I Am a Singer", the price of the song needed to be adjusted again.

After thinking about it for a moment, he finally said: "Little brother bought the copyright of "The Outer World" with one million, and now I won't bid indiscriminately, it's still one million!"

"One million?" Chu Mu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, it's a good deal!"

used one million to mobilize Liang Dong and the stage of "I Am a Singer" to promote the TV series, and the price was not high at all. Compared to the value they created after joining, one million is just a drop in the bucket.
