Chapter 64: The Trump
"What do you think of this new streamer?"
Fang Shaohui dropped the pen in his hand, and the barrel of the pen rolled out half a meter away along the smooth desktop.
The projection screen on the wall freezes the moment when Lu Chen puts down the guitar after singing "Blue Lotus".
His gaze swept over the faces of all the company executives present, and the meaning was difficult to understand.
Tonight's PK theme show is the largest promotion and publicity activity of [Whale TV] in half a year, and it was also set up by Fang Shaohui, the general manager, with more than 5 million invested before and after.
Although the project and funds are not large, as a well-known young marshal in the industry, Fang Shaohui hopes to use this event to enhance the popularity and morale of [Whale TV], as a foreshadowing before reviving the past glory.
Therefore, in the evening, all the executives gathered to pay attention to the progress of the PK theme show in the big meeting.
The performances of the 24 streamers are coming to an end, and there are those who stand out!
An executive hesitated for a moment and said, "This anchor whose real name is Lu Chen should be regarded as the biggest highlight, and I think we should give him a better contract." ”
In front of them, there is a detailed information of the participating anchors.
Lu Chen is actually an ordinary signing + 50,000 signing money, which is obviously not in line with his current popularity.
Fang Shaohui nodded expressionlessly.
Another high-ranking official said: "His songs are very good, are they really all original?"
Immediately, the manager of the brokerage department explained: "It's really all original, and I didn't believe it at first."
The female white-collar worker in her 30s was full of praise for Lu Chen: "We have checked in the "Great China Music Library", and all the song copyrights are under his name, a very talented young man!"
"I also think we're going to give him a contract to promote him to a bigger market!"
After Fang Shaohui took the helm of [Whale TV], he intended to spread the platform's anchor resources to a larger area, and established a corresponding entertainment company, and the main responsibility of the brokerage department is to discover new stars worth cultivating.
The big entertainment industry is the real big cake, and of course the competition is the most fierce.
[Whale TV] does not mean to fight with people immediately, but the rational use of its own resources to earn more and greater benefits is undoubtedly the company's strategic goal towards the future.
The same thing, their biggest competitor [Starlight Show] is already doing it, and it's doing it well!
A smile appeared on Fang Shaohui's face.
The manager of the agency department keenly noticed the change in his expression and continued: "We can customize the project for him, buy all his creative rights, and publish an album of works, packaged into a talent-type idol."
"Manager Wang, please wait first"
She gushed about the plan she had conceived, and when her eyebrows fluttered with excitement, a voice next to her interrupted her words abruptly.
Manager Wang was as unhappy as she wanted, but it was Wu Hongming, the head of the operation department, who interrupted her, so she could only hold back her unhappiness, squeezed out a smile and asked, "Manager Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Hongming is one of the founders of [Whale TV] and a senior veteran of Whale Technology.
Although Manager Wang is Fang Shaohui's confidant, she can't help but listen to Wu Hongming's opinions.
Wu Hongming asked in a deep voice: "How much are you going to pay to buy the copyright of his creation?"
Manager Wang was stunned, she didn't expect Wu Hongming to ask this question, thought about it and replied: "My idea is to sign the artist contract for 5 years first, and give him an annual salary of 300,000 plus 10% benefit dividends, and the contract must include all creative copyrights!"
In the opinion of the manager of the brokerage department, this contract is undoubtedly very generous, for a young man like Lu Chen, to get the opportunity to promote packaging and enter the entertainment industry, then he can't be so happy?
I don't know how many newcomers are eager to embark on the road to becoming a star!
With an annual salary of 300,000 yuan and a 10% benefit dividend, she feels that it is a bit too rich.
Wu Hongming was noncommittal, he pointed to the projection screen and said: "This song that Lu Chen just sang is called Blue Lotus, as far as I know, he has sold the copyright of this song to the light rain media company in the capital. ”
"The price is 200,000!"
"Impossible!"
Manager Wang was the first to shout, glared and said, "This is the price of the top master!"
Some of the executives here who understand the market are also very surprised: "Really fake?"
200,000 yuan a song is definitely a high price among celebrities, without market verification, a newcomer can sell his work for 200,000, it sounds like a fantasy novel.
Wu Hongming said lightly: "There is nothing impossible, I have inquired with friends in the capital circle, many people know about this matter, and some brokerage companies have long wanted to sign him, but he has refused." ”
"So I suggest that you give up the copyright requirements, and don't expect to sign an ordinary artist contract with him, or talk about it according to the top anchor contract!"
Manager Wang was not convinced: "Manager Wu, are you so sure that he won't sign?"
Wu Hongming sighed and said: "Then you can talk to Lu Chen, this young man is actually very assertive and thoughtful, I think unless we give a top artist contract, it is unlikely to impress him." ”
Wu Hongming's understanding of Lu Chen comes mostly from his niece Wu Shanshan, who has a very close relationship with Lu Chen and usually maintains a high level of attention.
As the head of the operations department, it is impossible for him to ignore this new anchor who has quickly become popular on [Whale TV].
And Lu Chen's live broadcast on the PK theme show tonight deepened his inherent impression.
Top artist contracts?
Executives are looking at each other – how is that possible?
Manager Wang couldn't help but want to refute again, Fang Shaohui asked first: "Then let Manager Wang talk to him about the artist contract first, and then talk about the new anchor contract if he can't negotiate it?"
Wu Hongming replied quietly: "I have no opinion, just don't forget that we have a lot of competitors. ”
Fang Shaohui's breath suddenly stagnated.
In the past two years, [Whale TV] has really been poached and poached, especially [Starlight Show], digging the corners of the wall to the point of making [Whale TV] hurt its muscles and bones, and there are many new live broadcast platforms eyeing up the bargain.
PK-themed shows can certainly increase the popularity of the website, but at the same time, they will also attract coveted eyes.
A newcomer like Lu Chen, who has only signed an ordinary contract, is simply the best target for poaching!
If [Whale TV] is still hesitant at this time, it may lose a new star!
Fang Shaohui didn't take Lu Chen very seriously, he just wanted to set up a model for his project, but now when he heard Wu Hongming's words, he finally became serious.
"Then I'll negotiate a new contract with him when the event is over"
The general manager hesitated for a moment and said, "It's better for Manager Wu to talk to him, just talk about the new anchor contract!"
At the critical moment, he still chose Wu Hongming, the old courtier's vision and character are trustworthy.
Wu Hongming nodded and said, "I'll take someone to the capital tomorrow morning and talk to him in person!"
The executives present were all surprised, they never expected that Wu Hongming would attach so much importance to Lu Chen.
The last time Wu Hongming personally met with the anchor to negotiate a contract was last year, and it was the current [Whale TV] No. 1 female anchor Qing'er baby who signed at that time!
And it ran so far from the capital.
A high-ranking official couldn't help but say, "Then he should have been given a better contract in the first place." ”
Better contracts have longer time limits and are more binding.
But for this kind of low-level afterthought, Wu Hongming simply despised it: "For this contract of 50,000 signing money, I almost let the finance department call back!"
[Whale TV] has a large amount of venture capital, and the finance department has a lot of authority in fund management.
The other party was speechless.
Lao Wang, the manager of the finance department, twitched cheekily, but decided to be a dead dog.
Wu Hongming slapped him slightly, and then asked: "Then what is the negotiation authority given to me by the company this time? If it is less than 500,000 signing money, then don't say it, whoever is willing to negotiate will go." ”
He glanced at the manager of the brokerage department, intentionally or unintentionally.
This eloquent young woman is no longer angry, if Wu Hongming said at the beginning that he would give Lu Chen at least 500,000 signing money, it is estimated that no one will agree.
Now that I understand the situation, I know that Lu Chen's song sold 200,000 yuan, and the 500,000 signing fee is really nothing.
She even regretted in her heart that if she could sign Lu Chen with an ordinary artist contract, her agency would hold a trump card.
A real trump card!
