Next chapter
The next day, Ye Jingcheng came to Shaw Brothers Pictures. Because of the problem of Huaxing Records, it is necessary to solve it early and late, and it is better to solve it as soon as possible than to drag it like this.
And if you go to talk to Shao Yifu now, you can also get some negotiation advantages for him before the company has its own singer.
However, Shao Yifu, an old fox, is not easy to fool, and it is likely that because of Ye Jingcheng's idea of acquisition, he will bite hard. Even if the record company is finally obtained by Ye Jingcheng, the premise is that he needs to pay a certain price.
Ye Jingcheng came to Shaw Brothers Pictures this time, and he would not suffer from the treatment he had a few more times. For example, Shao Yifu hung him there for a long time, or asked Fang Yihua to deal with him. As soon as he came to the front desk, the secretary led him to Shao Yifu's office.
In the office, Ye Jingcheng found that in addition to Shao Yifu, the eye-catching Fang Yihua was also present.
"Sixth Uncle." Ye Jingcheng nodded slightly at Shao Yifu, ignoring Fang Yihua behind the other party.
It's not that he doesn't understand the most basic etiquette, but this thing is relative, Fang Yihua didn't have a good face to show him, so he naturally regarded the other party as transparent.
In comparison, no matter what Shao Yifu, an old fox, thinks in his heart, he has a kind smile on the surface. It not only makes people can't guess his thoughts, but also makes people feel a kind of harmony and wealth.
Motioning for Ye Jingcheng to sit down, Shao Yifu asked, "What do you want Cheng Zai to run in person?" ”
Ye Jingcheng turned a corner and said, "I don't have to have something to do before I can come to the door, right?" This time, I just came over to get in touch with Uncle Six. ”
"Connecting feelings? You're really getting more and more slippery. Shao Yifu shook his head with a smile, mixed with a hint of self-deprecation, and said: "Don't say polite words, you might as well be happy and honest if you have anything." ”
Ye Jingcheng still smiled and gave Shao Yifu a thumbs up. Shao Yifu said this step, he didn't need to continue to waste, and directly explained his intentions: "I came here this time to discuss the matter of Huaxing Records with Uncle Six." ”
"Huaxing Records?" This name made Shao Yifu feel a little unfamiliar, and Fang Yihua immediately attached his head when he saw this, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Oh! It turned out to be a subsidiary of TVB. Shao Yifu secretly said that this Ye Jingcheng can really fool around, and then said: "Chengzai, you are really good." I just finished my theater idea some time ago, and now I want to play TVB again? ”
"Uncle Six, you're joking. If I have a big business like the Shaw Family, I would rather sit in the office and wait for the money to be collected, and it is not easy to negotiate business with Uncle Six. ”
Ye Jingcheng didn't know whether it was a compliment or a derogatory meaning, anyway, it made him feel harsh when it reached Shao Yifu's ears.
"What? Do you have a talent for singing in addition to making movies? If you're going to release a record, there's no need to be so troublesome, just talk to Uncle Six directly. Shao Yifu teased.
"Sixth uncle, you think too highly of me. I just felt that there was potential in this industry, so I wanted to buy a record label to test the waters. Ye Jingcheng did not hide his purpose.
To be correct, his thoughts must not be hidden from Shao Yifu, rather than waiting for the other party to guess his purpose, it is better to use this honesty first to shorten the gap between the two.
And Shao Yifu knew his purpose, and if he wanted to make things difficult, he had to consider it carefully. Because Ye Jingcheng said his purpose, it means that he doesn't care about the price he sits on, or he has other choices.
"I think Cheng Zai, you plan to buy Huaxing Records, it's nothing more than a channel for holding concerts and releasing records." Shao Yifu in one sentence.
After speaking, Shao Yifu stretched out his hand and motioned Ye Jingcheng to wait, turned his back and discussed with Fang Yihua for a while, as if he was evaluating the value of Huaxing Company.
From Fang Yihua's mouth, Shao Yifu generally knows the operation of Huaxing Records. At present, the company is in a tepid stage, and it is not a top target for TVB to invest resources, at least in the past two years, there is no such plan.
Because of the singers who have the ability to release records in the past two years, such as the male singer representative Xu Guanjie, the contract is signed in Polygram's predecessor Polygram. The female singer represents Xu Xiaofeng, and the contract is signed on one of the three major records.
These two record companies are subsidiaries of overseas record companies based on Hong Kong Island. Compared with Huaxing Records, their distribution power is several levels higher. The distribution of Huaxing Records is limited to Hong Kong Island, and their distribution power extends to the whole of Asia.
Now Huaxing Records' main business is to help some second-tier singers arrange venues to hold concerts, or release records on a small scale.
Of course, for TVB, Huaxing Records also has a purpose, which is to provide the theme song of TV dramas for TV stations. But this role is overlapping, because TVB in this area is outsourced to entertainment records.
Entertainment Records is entirely aimed at the business development of TV stations, so there are three advantages to outsourcing directly to Entertainment Records compared to letting Huaxing Records produce the zuò theme song.
The first benefit is more convenient, the second benefit is the professionalism of entertainment records, and the third benefit is that it can reduce costs.
Therefore, the current Huaxing record is a piece of chicken ribs that are tasteless and discarded for TVB. Ye Jingcheng intends to buy this company, but it is not a plan to deal with it.
"Sixth brother, don't be cheap that kid." Fang Yihua's voice was lowered, and the wind in Shao Yifu's ears was blown.
Shao Yifu stretched out his hand to stop the topic, and the preliminary estimated value of Huaxing Records was about three million, so he made a price: "Since Cheng Zai is so interested, then I will deal with it for you at a price of five million." ”
Million? Ye Jingcheng glanced sideways slightly. He knew that the market price of Huaxing Records was around three million, and the price of five million was not too high. The most valuable thing about Huaxing Records is not itself, but the several channels it has.
As long as these channels are used, let alone five million. At that time, any second-tier singer in the company may create tens of millions of benefits, Ye Jingcheng is very aware of the development trend of the music industry, and its golden age is much longer than that of the film industry.
In addition, Ye Jingcheng didn't care about the one or two million things, but he felt that this time Shao Yifu agreed too simply. It seems that not only is he not guilty of his past, but he even has a favor.
Shao Yifu glanced at Ye Jingcheng, as if to dispel the latter's doubts, and said: "Of course, there is a passing condition for transferring this record company to you. ”
"Sixth uncle, you might as well say it directly." The more Shao Yifu was demanding, Ye Jingcheng felt that the other party's reaction was normal.
"Wait until I tell you." The details are naturally handled by Fang Yihua.
"Huaxing Records currently has a draft plan, which is estimated to be implemented within a year. In fact, I am personally very optimistic about this plan, and the live broadcast and broadcast of this draft will be handled by TVB. Now that you've taken over the company, what are you going to do with the draft broadcast rights? ”
"Oh, that's right." Ye Jingcheng thought about it seriously for a while and replied: "If I implement this plan, the broadcast rights will naturally be handed over to TVB at that time, how can I say that I am also a part of the wireless shareholders." ”
Ye Jingcheng estimates that the plan that Huaxing Records is preparing should be the rookie singing contest, which has become popular with many superstars, even kings and queens.
It can be said that more than one-third of the Chinese music superstars in this era are from Huaxing, and their Biquge is www.biquge.info rookie singing competition.
Ye Jingcheng didn't know what Shao Yifu's idea was, and he was sending favors and big bags. The biggest benefit of co-organizing the talent contest with TVB is not TVB, which has obtained the broadcast rights, but the record company that has been exposed by Guò TV and whose reputation has risen rapidly.
"In that case, then the kid won't bother you, Sixth Uncle." Ye Jingcheng got up and planned to leave.
At this point, the deal is completely settled. Unless Shao Yifu gives him a big dragon and phoenix on the spot, this kind of method may be dealt with by Fang Yihua, and it is impossible for Shao Yifu to use this kind of method that cannot be put on the table.
"Let's go." Shao Yifu shook his hand.
"Sixth brother, !!" After Ye Jingcheng left, Fang Yihua immediately vented her dissatisfaction with a coquettish attitude.
Shao Yifu looked straight at the door and said inexplicably: "Menglan, how much energy do you think a person can have?" ”
Fang Yihua paused, and immediately had his own opinions on Shao Yifu's words.
Shao Yifu should be referring to Ye Jingcheng's current situation, not only has his own company in the film industry, but also involves futures investment across the industry, and he wastes a lot of energy on women, and now he still plays the idea of a record company.
No matter how energetic a person is, it is impossible to do everything. On the contrary, the more industries he operates, the more scattered his energy will become.
The more distracted, the more likely it is to make mistakes in the decisions made. At that time, he doesn't even need to be deliberately suppressed by his opponent, he is likely to have messed up his position.
But having said that, these are just wishful thinking on their part. If Ye Jingcheng really had such ability, wouldn't their decision be a wedding dress in vain?
"Sixth brother, you can't make such a decision for this reason, right?" If this is really the case, Shao Yifu is really a mistake this time, is he really to the point where he is old and bad?
Shao Yifu glanced at Fang Yihua, suddenly showed an inexplicable smile, and said, "I'll also see what means this pretty boy has." ”
"But......" Fang Yihua wanted to say something, but she knew that she couldn't control Shao Yifu's thoughts, so she asked instead: "Then Zou Wenhuai asked us to discuss the matter of joining forces before, sixth brother, are you planning to push it?" ”
Shao Yifu recalled this incident and asked rhetorically: "Are these two things related?" ”
"Didn't you?" Shao Yifu's answer made Fang Yihua more and more incomprehensible the more he thought about it, and he didn't know what his idea was.
Knock and smack-
The door rang again, and neither of them expected Ye Jingcheng to go and return. Of course, it was certainly impossible for him to overhear the conversation between the two.
Fang Yihua regained his sins, while Shao Yifu asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
"It's not a big deal, but you need Sixth Uncle to open your mouth and let Sixth Aunt show mercy to an artist." Ye Jingcheng said with a smile
