Chapter 22 The Signal Flag is Established
The performance of "Myth" was like a thunderclap on the ground, music companies, SP dealers, and entertainment media were shaken, and musicians and fans were also shaken, so everyone was stunned and speechless when they looked at the CRBT charts.
In the past, it was not that there were no popular Internet songs, "Northeast People Are Living Lei Feng", "College Students' Self-study Song", and "Lilacs" in the first half of the year, all of which were all the rage, but these songs are free, free to download and listen, and not many people will pay for them. It's been a few months since the ringtones of "Lilac" came out, and the number of downloads is only a few hundred thousand, which simply can't be compared with real record music. But the performance of "Myth" shocked everyone's attention, and it beat Jay Chou's "East Wind Break" to become the champion in the month it was uploaded.
Who is Jay Chou? The new Asian little king, the album "Fantesi" released in 2001, sold 1.7 million copies, and was the runner-up in the annual sales in Greater China; In 2002, the album "Octave Space" was released, which sold 2.2 million copies and was the Asian sales champion that year; The recently released album "Ye Huimei" has exceeded 2 million sales, and is advancing to 300, which is a strong contender for the Asian annual championship.
But Jay Chou lost to Nirvana's "Myth" on the CRBT download list, although "East Wind Break" has been on the list for two months, but after all, it is Jay Chou!
An unknown Internet singer actually defeated Jay Chou, is there still Wang Fa? Is there still a law? Is there still a heavenly principle?
Whether it is the online world or the real world, countless people are full of curiosity about Nirvana, what does he look like, what does he do, why did he write such a song, and will he release a new song?
With such a high level of attention, the media will naturally not miss the opportunity to report in depth, since everyone wants to know the information of Nirvana, then dig him out, although Nirvana is very mysterious, but Song Ke of the rice field must know his situation.
So the major media flocked to the door, almost squeezed the door of the rice field, and the front desk lady of the reception process Peng was so frightened that she almost hid in the women's toilet.
Even an old Jianghu like Song Ke has never seen such a battle, this is too hot! He straightened his clothes, combed his hair, and joked with the reporters, but he didn't say anything about Nirvana.
A reporter asked how Song Ke found Nirvana, and he briefly introduced the situation when Cheng Peng came to the door of course, especially mentioning that he found himself after being rejected by several SP dealers.
As soon as this statement came out, the media was in an uproar, such a good song and such a good result were rejected, it is really eye-catching!
After seeing the reports of the major media on this matter, the senior management of TOM.com was first shocked, and then furious!
Is this a human thing? This Nima is simply a platform for dismantling the company, pushing the God of Wealth sent to the door out!
The president of tom.com was furious, and called Manager Ye for a scolding with a slap in the face: "You idiot actually refused, you really refused!" It was my mistake to let an idiot like you be the manager,, you're fired!
Similarly, the other two managers who rejected Cheng Peng, without exception, were kicked out of the company after being scolded by the company's top management.
Song Ke realized that Cheng Peng was a cash cow, such a person had to do everything possible to envelop him, and he must not be offended, he did not delay at all, and in the shortest possible time, he transferred the share of the ringtone to Cheng Peng's account.
With one million in hand, the preliminary preparations for the movie can officially begin!
No, Cheng Peng was not in a hurry to recruit the crew, let alone find actors, this matter was in a hurry. Because Chinese films must have two licenses from filming to release, a shooting permit and a public screening permit, a film without these two certificates is an underground film, and it is easy to have problems.
According to the regulations of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, in order to obtain a filming permit, there is a hard condition, which must be applied by a specific company in the name of the company, and the registered capital of the applicant company shall not be less than 100,000 yuan, and one-third of the film investment must be received at the time of application.
In other words, in order to get a filming license for a movie, Cheng Peng must establish a film and television company with a registered capital of more than 100,000 yuan, and then he can apply for a license from Radio and Television.
Cheng Peng has one million in hand, and it is not difficult to register a company, but the process of registering a company is more cumbersome, and if there are no acquaintances, it may take a few months, and he plans to find someone to help. It's just that the people he knows are basically low-level people, drifting north, and playing tricks, so these people can't help.
Only Song Ke is an exception, Song Ke was originally the music director of Warner Records in China, and now he has his own music company and has a wide range of contacts, so Cheng Peng can only find him.
Song Ke was very surprised when he heard that Cheng Peng was going to set up a film and television company, he knew that this old brother was not a simple person, and his vision was particularly good, but the circle was very deep, and it was not so easy to mix, so he persuaded: "Cheng Peng, although the film and television industry looks bright, all kinds of forces are mixed, eating people and not spitting out bones, and tens of millions of funds may not even bubble up when they are smashed in, you better be cautious." ”
Cheng Peng's understanding of this circle is far beyond Song Ke's imagination, he has teamed up to cheat money, swallow other people's projects, unspoken rules, and all kinds of bad things, but he has confidence in himself: "The film and television industry is my business, I know very well how deep the water is, and daring to go in means that I am ready, and I have the confidence to lay a world in this circle with my own hands." ”
Song can see that Cheng Peng said this, Song Ke did not persuade again, he was optimistic about Cheng Peng's vision, and said with a smile: "I believe in you, you do film and television, I do music, and we will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future." Okay, I'll handle the business license, I have a relationship, but how much of your registered capital is ready to be registered? ”
The more registered capital, the more outsiders can feel that the company is strong, which is particularly important for film and television companies, so as to attract more funds. Although Cheng Peng has no intention of attracting investment, he is prepared for this kind of thing, and he can register more points if he can. It's just that his strength is limited, so he spread his hands and said, "I want to register 10 million, but I don't have that much money at all!" I'm just a hundred, so I'll sign up for a million. ”
Song Ke felt that although Cheng Peng's vision was good, his social experience was a little lacking, so he lowered his voice and said: "Who would be so stupid as to register as much as you have money on you to open a company now?" A lot of companies are basically going to do this, and if you have a million, you might register two million, and if you have five million, you might register as ten million. If you want to register 10 million, I'll do it for you! ”
Cheng Peng's eyes lit up, and he arched his hand and said: "That relationship is good, then the little brother will thank you first." ”
"A little thing, polite or something. You can wait with peace of mind, and you will definitely be able to get it in half a month. ”
Cheng Peng said: "It is inevitable to spend money on asking people to do things, how much money is spent Brother Song can be deducted from the cost, as long as you can get the business license as soon as possible, it doesn't matter if you spend some money." ”
Song Ke waved his hand and said arrogantly: "It costs a lot of money to get a business license, what do you care about me with such a little money." ”
"Then it's troublesome Brother Song."
The question of how much to register a company and how much registered capital Cheng Peng completely handed over to Song Ke to do. But even so, Cheng Peng has been busy for a while now. After all, there are some things that cannot be completely done for Song Ke, after all, the company belongs to Cheng Peng, and he needs to take a name, sign a contract, and provide documents; And the establishment of a company must have an office space, otherwise it will be too informal.
Cheng Peng's money was taken to register, and he couldn't take out the money for living in the office at all, so he advanced 500,000 yuan from Song Ke, and deducted it from the CRBT in the future.
The office was recommended by Song Ke, and it was selected on the twelfth floor of Times Square, where Paddy Music is located, with more than 300 square meters and 60,000 yuan a month.
Cheng Peng pasted the signboard of the signal flag film and television media company on the wall, recruited a front desk, and recruited logistics and financial personnel, even if the company was established, as for professionals, such as scouts and agents, they can only wait for the future!
Song Ke did not disappoint Cheng Peng, and it only took ten days to help Cheng Peng get the business license, and the company's registered capital was 10 million.
Song Ke came to Cheng Peng's company to take a look, and asked with a smile: "Cheng Peng, when will the company officially open?" I'd like to send a flower basket too. ”
Cheng Peng shook his head with a smile and said: "Forget this kind of formalistic thing, I thought that the film would not be able to start until the beginning of next year, but now the plan is greatly advanced, and I will strive to go to the Berlin Film Festival." It's only three or four months, and I'm going to have to hurry. ”
Now that the company has it, the conditions for applying for a film shooting permit have been fully met, Cheng Peng did not delay, and sent the materials that had already been prepared to the Film Industry Administration on the same day for application.
According to the regulations, the Authority will make a decision on whether to approve the project within 20 working days after the decision is accepted. If there is no problem with the script, the film will be established; If there is a problem with the film script, it is necessary to invite another expert or send it to the relevant department for review.
Cheng Peng's film reflects the sincere emotions between ordinary people, and it is a very warm story, without any sensitive places, and I believe it should be able to pass the trial soon.
Cheng Peng felt that it was time to build the crew and recruit relevant personnel of the crew.
But when he was having dinner that night, Tong Liyu suddenly said to him: "Cheng Peng, tomorrow I will say, I will have dinner with a few friends, and you can come too!" ”
"Okay, I'll be here then!" After eating for so long, you must prepare a raw gift, what to give is a question!;
