Chapter 904: Shady Fighter
"Mr. Mai, the appearance fee ......"
Trek finally realized the most important problem. Because www.biquge.info of his past bad deeds and Mai Xiaoyu's current strength, he was very worried that Mai Xiaoyu would eat himself. So as to lower his appearance fee, he did not dare to refuse.
"You don't have to talk to me about the appearance fee, the program team will contact you. You talk to them about the details of remuneration, and the normal market price will not make you suffer. ”
This answer was beyond Trek's expectations.
He also thought that his appearance fee would be slightly discounted, but he didn't know that that little money Mai Xiaoyu had long since lost his eyes.
After exchanging business cards, Mai Xiaoyu declined Trick's invitation to eat and quickly left Trick's studio.
"Doing things is atmospheric and exquisite, no wonder Meng people have developed so quickly over the years." Trek sighed with emotion and called his assistant, "Pay attention to the comfortable movements, and let me know in advance if there are any new songs or new albums released." Mr. Mai is particular, and we can't lose our courtesy......"
Mai Xiaoyu is very accustomed to turning former enemies into friends through interests. As long as these enemies are not mortal enemies like Ning Shirong, or diehards such as Li Chang and Du Xu.
The advantage of this is that these enemies know that he is powerful, and they dare not make trouble in the process of cooperation, which is conducive to the smooth progress of cooperation. Just like Trek, when negotiating details with the program team, he would never dare to ask for a price.
Leaving Trek Studios, Mak drove to MLGB Records.
Since the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television issued a new spirit and did not allow variety shows to become money-burning competitions, he simply gave up his earliest idea. No longer invite musicians who are popular, but instead invite those who were once popular, but due to the change of times, they are now gradually becoming obsolete in the music scene.
The reason, just like Zhang Yuanqi said, the gap between the tutors should not be too big, otherwise when the tutors compete for the students, the students will often have a strong bias, which will make the viewing of the show discounted.
The so-called famous house basically means a famous old-timer.
Mai Xiaoyu decided to play the nostalgic card and play with feelings.
It is true that the popularity of most famous singers has declined, but the connections are still there.
In the entertainment industry, a star's popularity is often not linked to his influence in the entertainment industry.
What's more, Mai Xiaoyu remembered that the four mentors of the first season of "The Voice" in his dream were not popular musicians, but the show was still a success. Because the biggest selling point of this show is not the popularity of the mentor.
Since you take the emotional route, let's continue to look for "celebrities", MLGB record companies are not holding one.
The MLGB record company, which was specially established for comfort, has not changed much compared to the previous MLGB recording studio.
In addition to releasing new songs, new albums, promotional charts, sales, commercial performances, and interviews, MLGB Records is basically still in the state of recording studios for other singers.
And it still depends on Diao Yi's mood. If you are in a bad mood or the singer's level is too poor, you won't record if you don't record it, and it's useless to give more money.
In a word, the company does not lose money.
Mai Xiaoyu came to find Diao Yi this time.
"You're looking for me to be a mentor? Don't do it! ”
Hearing Mai Xiaoyu's purpose, Diao Yi scratched his crotch, and his head shook like a rattle.
Before Mai Xiaoyu could persuade a word, Diao Yi was annoyed: "Don't think that if you are a major shareholder, I have to listen to you, tell you, MLGB I have the final say." MLGBD, it's so easy to get a good foundation, and I was abducted by you to shoot a TV series, and now I'm going to be a judge in a broken music talent show, I'm not working for you! ”
"It's a mentor." Mai Xiaoyu emphasized.
He knew that the reason why Diao Yi was unhappy with him was that after Shu Chang made his debut and achieved certain results, he went to shoot a TV series again, and did something to see and sing amphibious, which made Diao Yi the boss.
In Diao Yi's view, music is a holy art, and since you choose to be a singer, you must make music to the extreme. It's not that you don't want to get involved in other areas, but you need to prioritize and not be distracted, at least until you reach a certain height.
However, Shu Chang still insists on taking care of singing and filming TV series, and he is very stubborn.
Diao Yi stubbornly believes that it was Mai Xiaoyu who brought his good apprentice badly.
"Could it be that I invited Trek, you don't dare to go, do you?"
"If you don't come to this set, the agitation method will not work for me. You can even invite people like Trick, so it can be seen that your show is like other music talent shows, and it is all shady garbage. ”
"That's why I'm here to ask you to fill in the gaps."
In the past music talent shows, the contestants were often in a completely passive position, and the judges often showed their "poisonous tongues", as if they could not show that they were superior to the contestants.
Moreover, in order to improve the audience's awareness of participation and increase ratings, various music talent shows will adopt a public voting mode, so that SMS companies will be born to collect money and swipe votes.
In "The Voice", the four star mentors will put down their bodies, not be on top, and communicate with the contestants on an equal footing, so that the audience can feel the approachability of the stars.
When a very good student appears, there may be two, three, or even four mentors who are fighting for the student, and the final decision is reversed in the hands of the player.
This has never been done in previous music talent shows.
Moreover, during the singing of the students, the four instructors all turned their backs to the students, and only heard their voices and did not see them. It is necessary to judge the students' singing skills from the students' singing voices, so as to make a decision.
In addition, "The Voice" did not have a public vote, thus cutting off the business of SMS companies. Even if it is the final finals, the audience participating in the voting is only the live audience, and they also need to pass the mobile phone authentication.
Of course, as long as there is a competition, it is difficult to prevent the appearance of shady scenes.
Therefore, Diao Yi has become the last hurdle to prevent shady scenes.
"If you think a student is good, but he is eliminated because of shady, you can sign him directly, anyway, there is no other signed singer in the company except Changchang. It doesn't matter how many you sign. ”
Diao Yi was not interested in signing students, he just wanted to play his own music.
When he accepted Shu Chang as an apprentice, he was also moved by Shu Chang's life experience.
However, he became interested in the setting of his "shady fighter": "Don't provoke me, I can definitely do that kind of thing, anyway, the company's money is all from you." ”
"Then it's settled."
"Wait, are you fooling me? Aren't you forced to sign a contract for the students who enter the PK link? ”
Starting from Mango Satellite TV's "Supergirl", almost all music talent shows hosted by TV stations, and the final award-winning singers will encounter a forced signing in the form of a bully clause. You can refuse to sign a contract, but you are likely to be PK out of the PK session.
Even if it is a popular king, if he refuses to sign a contract with the organizer, he will be eliminated in an upset.
This is one of the reasons why many people question the shady existence of music talent shows.
"I never thought about signing a singer......"
Moe people don't have a professional record label, MLGB...... Not counted.
Mai Xiaoyu didn't want to sign a bunch of singers, and after becoming famous, he went around in business to make money. He doesn't have that mind, and the cute person doesn't have that energy.
Starting from the mentor competition, the PK results between the contestants will be voted on by the four mentors, the on-site media judges and the record label judges.
Yes, unlike "The Voice" in the weird dream, Mai Xiaoyu has added a special review from the record company here, rather than completely leaving it to the media for review. Because Mai Xiaoyu does not fully trust the media review, the addition of a record company to review will help the result to be more fair.
Diao Yi looked suspicious: "Can other record companies listen to you?" ”
"Damn, I'll set up a stage for them for free, and let them select potential newcomers from them to deliver fresh blood, what are they not happy about?"
"So what are you trying to do? Don't tell me that you learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds and contribute to the public welfare of music. ”
"You're stupid. I have advertising shares, CRBT fees, bad troubles and copyright fees, and our company's influence will also increase greatly...... Well, I don't want to talk to you about business models, just like you don't want to talk to me about music. ”
Diao Yi thought for a while: "You know my temper, if I can't see it during the filming, I may be mad on the spot." ”
"The show is recorded, there will be editing in the later stage, and the foul language will be cut, but it is not allowed to abuse the students casually."
Mai Xiaoyu came to Diao Yi because he liked the urine of this product. The words are sharp enough, and when encountering injustices and abnormal phenomena, they never hold back and hide, and they can explode on the spot, which is conducive to creating topics.
As for Diao Yi's fame...... Mai Xiaoyu remembers that the cute person is still a small bamboo raft, and when filming "I Believe", he wanted to record three songs, and Su Youpeng's first recommendation was the MLGB recording studio, and he also specially explained that Diao Yi had a bad temper.
And Cui Ke is also an old acquaintance of Diao Yi.
It can be said that Diao Yi played in the underground band earlier. In Yanjing, almost all the bands that made a name for themselves and survived from that era know the famous MLGB band among underground bands.
When it came to the publicity period before the show was broadcast, Diao Yi and the MLGB band were given an all-round publicity, and then they were brought out of Yanjing to promote them to musicians across the country in that era, and the fame rose.
got Cui Ke and Diao Yi, plus Zhang Yuanqi, these are three mentors, and the remaining mentor has to be selected from Hong Kong and Taiwan, so as to reflect the inclusiveness of the show.
Forget about Xiangjiang, there are mainly Cantonese songs, and the population is small, unless you invite the Four Heavenly Kings, there is no need.
Therefore, for the last tutor spot, Mai Xiaoyu focused on the Taiwan Island music scene.
When he got home in the evening, Mai Xiaoyu thought about it, checked the information on the Internet, and made a phone call with Su Youpeng to understand, and finally determined the list of several candidates.
Then he called Liang Pei again and told him that he had identified Diao Yi and Cui Ke, two mentors, and asked him to arrange someone to contact him to discuss the details. And the list of the last mentor candidates also told Liang Pei on the phone, and asked him to arrange someone to contact and discuss.
At the top of the list is Harlem, who is almost 50 years old......
"Mr. Mai, these musicians, like Mr. Zhang Yuanqi, are a little outdated."
"So this time, "The Voice" will not only focus on the 'inspirational' card, but also the 'feelings' card."
……
It took two or three days for Mai Xiaoyu to temporarily solve the problems encountered by the "The Voice" program team, and there was not much left before the start time of "Step by Step".
Li Hui's "Step by Step Shocking" held a grand opening ceremony in Hengdian a few days ago, and many media came to cheer on it.
However, Mai Xiaoyu is busy with the post-production of "Mao Liar" and the mentor of "The Voice", so he didn't have time to attend. But now that "Step by Step" is about to start, he, as the male number one, plays two roles at the same time, and must rush to Hengdian as soon as possible to join the crew.
Under the urging of Li Hui's phone call, he first went to watch the post-production of "Mao Liar". Lin Yiping and Wang Yuqi did a good job, he explained the details and key points to the two of them, and then flew straight to Hengdian with hot clothes.
With the support of Ye Chu, Cao Xiwen set up her own studio.
Because of the Ye family's connections, and the special effects of Mai Ye, she is famous in the circle, and she is also cared for by cute people, Cao Xiwen is not worried about filming.
not only got a role with more scenes in the cute drama "Palace Lock Heart Jade", which has been completed; In the upcoming "Step by Step", he also got a role with more scenes.
At present, Cao Xiwen has arrived in Hengdian and joined the crew of "Step by Step".
Before leaving, Ye Chu specially invited Mai Xiaoyu to the banquet, asking him to take care of Cao Xiwen more during the filming of the crew.
"Maizi, Xiwen will ask you."
Mai Xiaoyu blinked, and said with a malicious smile: "Ye Dashao, what do you want me to do?" ”
"What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Think about how much trouble you caused me before. ”
Ye Chu understood what Mai Xiaoyu meant: "That's all in the past." If you dare to think about Xiwen, be careful I tell Miss Liutao. ”
"Count you ruthless, I'm hungry, eat, eat poor you tonight."
"You can eat whatever you want."
During the meal, the two chatted harmoniously, and after a while, Ye Chu opened another topic: "I am going to acquire a film and television special effects post-production company." ”
"You just bought one not long ago, have you digested it?"
"This time it's a company in India, the one that participates in Inception, and it's a good strength, and I plan to acquire 55% of the shares and control that company."
"That's a good idea. If you have enough funds, our company can help you. ”
"Good intentions, but don't worry, our family has made up for the funding gap. Wheat Leaf Special Effects accounts for 35% of the shares, and a technology subsidiary of our group accounts for 20% of the shares."
Mai Xiaoyu was furious: "Didn't you say that you have to rely on yourself, how can you ask for money from your family?" ”
Ye Chu glanced at him: "Don't treat me as a nerd who reads books and reads stupidly." Our family asked me to tell you that our family is willing to pay 200 million to buy back your 40% stake in Wheat Leaf Special Effects, no more than 300 million. ”
Mai Xiaoyu rolled his eyes: "Let's have a good meal." ”
The wheat leaf special effect is now very famous in the industry and shows great commercial value. Of course, it is only limited to the country, but the potential is limitless.
Mai Xiaoyu threw in 10 million US dollars, and the Ye family is now willing to buy it back with 300 million Chinese yuan, which can be seen.
After eating with Ye Chu, he went to the bar to sit again, and went home at ten o'clock in the evening to simply clean up and salute.
The next morning, Mai Xiaoyu took Ke Haoyi and Reyizha together and flew to Hengdian to join the crew of "Step by Step".
came to the crew, and after greeting Li Hui, Liu Shishi, Tong Liya and other acquaintances, he suddenly saw Wang Kai, and Mai Xiaoyu was stunned.
"How did you get this done......
