Chapter 576: Opening Ceremony (I)

In the general manager's office at the China headquarters of Baidai Records, Chen Jingwen was playing with a metal gadget in his hand, silent.

IT WAS A NEW DIGITAL PRODUCT FROM APPLE CALLED THE IPOD PLAYER. Some time ago, when Chen Jingwen went to report to the headquarters of the United States, Jack, the manager of the United States District, gave him this small gift, Chen Jingwen has nothing to do these days, he also likes to use this thing to listen to songs, he found that although the sound quality of this little thing is not as good as the CD, but it is about the same, what is more rare is that this thing is small in size, more portable, and at the same time it is easy to change the song, the only regret is that the price of this thing is too expensive, the price of each unit is nearly 300 US dollars, converted into RMB is 3,000 yuan, It's really not something that ordinary people can afford. Chen Jingwen dares to assert that if the price of this thing can be reduced, and there are a large number of music resources that can match it, it will definitely have a huge impact on the existing music sales pattern!

CHEN JINGWEN CASUALLY PUT THE IPOD ON THE DESK, TEMPORARILY PUT SOME THOUGHTS ABOUT THE IPOD BEHIND HIM, AND BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT ANOTHER THING.

This matter is about Liu Yufan.

Peers are enemies, but also opponents. Beijing is Chen Jingwen's territory. Before, he was fighting with Rolling Stone and DG here, and the three were basically an equal share of the world. The Bai Dynasty has done a better job in the area of mainland pop music, Rolling Stone's strengths are in Hong Kong and Taiwan songs, while DG focuses on some classical music and light music, as well as some foreign language works. Under such a pattern, those second- and third-tier small companies can basically only follow behind them and pick up some leftovers to eat.

But. Legendary Entertainment was born. but muddied the pool. Let's say that he is a second-tier company, but many artists in this company have an influence comparable to that of a first-tier brand. And although it has not been established for a long time, it has maintained the average sales of more than one million per album released. There are even a few albums that have sold more than 10 million copies, and the speed of attracting money is so fast that big companies like them are jealous!

Not only that, but the company also seems to be playing out of the rules. Its development has a great deal of randomness, and since its establishment, Legend Entertainment has released pop song albums, light music albums, and even folk music albums, so on one by one. He is tantamount to grabbing food in the rice bowls of three companies, although the impact is not very serious now, but it is a very uncomfortable start. Because of this. It's not just Chen Jingwen. Even the two companies with DG and Rolling Stone hated him. Arguably. Now this legendary entertainment and Liu Yufan are already thorns in the side of the managers of the Chinese branches of three large companies.

In contrast, Chen Jingwen's hatred for Liu Yufan seems to be greater.

Because, Director Li died.

Chen Jingwen and Li Taichang are not friends, but just use each other. However, Director Li is a very important partner in his political circles in Beijing. Over the years, Chen Jingwen has put a lot of "effort" into him, but now, he has not reaped enough rewards from Director Li, but this guy was "forced" to death by Liu Yufan.

That's right, in Chen Jingwen's view, Director Li was "forced" to death by Liu Yufan. Although he knew that with Director Li's bad things, it would not be an exaggeration to shoot him a hundred times, but that was not important, the important thing was that Director Li was his partner. Liu Yufan ruined Director Li, that is, he ruined his resources. God knows how long it will take and how much investment it will take for him to re-establish himself in the propaganda and cultural system and find a big backstage like Director Li!

Chen Jingwen was angry in his heart, but he had to hold this fire in his heart. Because of inquiring through his own channels, he also vaguely knew that the reason why Liu Yufan was able to force Director Li to this position was because he also had a deep background behind him. I always thought that he was a mountain boy with a little talent and luck, but I didn't really take him seriously. After this incident, he realized that the other party was also quite "energetic". At the very least, in the official face, Chen Jingwen knew that it was impossible for him to put any more pressure on him.

However, the entertainment industry is not something that can be played just by virtue of the strong relationship between officialdom. Liu Yufan has an official background, and Chen Jingwen was only slightly surprised, and then he had a plan in his heart.

"Officialdom can't fight you, let's play the mall. The accumulation of more than 100 years of Baidai company and the depth of family background are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Today, I, Chen Jingwen, will let you know what a gap is. Thinking of this, Chen Jingwen's confidence was unprecedentedly high.

The Legend Art Training Center is about to open, but at the same time, diagonally opposite it, a training institution of similar size is quietly starting to renovate.

That's right, this is exactly Chen Jingwen's handwriting. For him, throwing 18 million yuan and building a training center in Beijing is not a big deal. He doesn't even have to report to the head office to decide the matter himself. Originally, he didn't look down on the small interests of the training center, and it was a matter of whether he opened it or not. But since Liu Yufan wants to play this, how can he be missing? At this moment, he has regarded Liu Yufan as a real opponent, and he has made up his mind to sing against him.

The sun is already a little hot in early summer, and many people on the streets of Beijing have set up sun umbrellas to cope with the scorching sun.

The annual art examination has officially kicked off.

The examination for art candidates is divided into two parts: professional examination and cultural examination. Specialized exams are generally held one or two months before the cultural exams. Most of the exams are held at some large conservatories. As the Central Conservatory of Music, which is the head of the National Conservatory of Music, it is often the most lively at this time of year.

Taking advantage of the art examination, many music training institutions have also taken advantage of the situation to carry out various special activities to attract those candidates for the art examination to participate in their own training classes. Beijing is originally a city with a deep cultural and artistic heritage, and almost every one of these training courses can play the banner of one or two masters, and they all look very "professional" and powerful. However, in fact, there are not many training courses with real masters. Most of them are just masters who have been to the class and taken a few pictures with the teacher of the training class.

Of course, there are also some training institutions that have a very great influence and carry out some publicity activities. These institutions are all real talents, and often their vitality is also the most attractive to those candidates for the art examination.

At nine o'clock in the morning, accompanied by a burst of enthusiastic firecrackers and music, an opening ceremony quietly started in front of a six-story office building not far from the Central Conservatory of Music. A temporary stage has already been set up in front of the door, attracting many tourists to stop and watch.

As if an appointment had been made, the opening celebration had just begun, and a shop diagonally across the street was setting off firecrackers and playing music as if it were a competition.

Liu Yufan, who was wearing a neat and proper black suit and had a corsage prepared for the ceremony on his chest, couldn't help frowning when he heard the voice opposite.

Berezovsky looked at Liu Yufan and asked a little strangely: "Liu, what's wrong with you, today is a happy day, why do I think you are a little unhappy?" ”

Looking at Berezovsky, Liu Yufan shook his head and said, "Teacher Berezovsky, didn't you see it?" There was a troublemaker on the other side. We set up an art training center here, and the white company also came to join in the fun, just opposite us, and even the opening day had to be selected together, you said, they are not making trouble? ”

"Oh? White generation company? Hehe, I know them, a very good record label. But, Yufan, you shouldn't be afraid of them. I don't think it's anything, there will be development only when there is competition, you have to have confidence in yourself. Berezovsky said with a smile, and then patted Liu Yufan on the shoulder.

"Yes, Mr. Berezovsky, you are right, we are not afraid of competition, time will tell, I believe that the Legend Art Training Center will be the best!" Liu Yufan looked at Berezovsky and said firmly.

"Okay, this is the Yufan I know, let's go, the ceremony is about to start, let's go cut the ribbon!" Berezovsky said with a smile, and then stood up.

Looking at Berezovsky's indifferent look, Liu Yufan secretly admired it in his heart. This is the real general's demeanor, thinking of what he looked like just now, Liu Yufan couldn't help but shake his head, he still needs to be experienced. Isn't it just a white generation company? As long as he doesn't come to Yin, will he still be afraid that he won't be able to play against the stage?

On such a day, the street was already very lively, and the opening of two training centers of considerable scale at the same time caused quite a stir. For a while, there were a lot of spectators in front of the temporary stage set up by the two families at the door. Many of these people are carrying musical instrument bags of different lengths, and some even wear stage makeup, which looks like students taking art exams.

"Distinguished audience members, students, good morning!" At 9 o'clock, the opening ceremony of the Legend Art Training Center officially began, and Xu Jing, a young host from CCTV, stood in the center of the stage, attracting a double number of onlookers!

"Hmph, I actually invited Xu Jing, Liu Yufan, you are really willing to pay the capital, but unfortunately, you are facing Baidai Entertainment, and your opening celebration today is destined to be a tragedy." Diagonally opposite, Li Yi sat in the general manager's office on the second floor of the newly opened Bai Dynasty Chinese Art Training Center, looking coldly at the stage not far away through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window, with a sneer on his face.
