Chapter 343: The Bottom Line
Thanks to Ji Yanran's help to cover up the help, the accident that happened to Chen Mo when he returned did not become known to everyone in the end, but became a shared little secret between Chen Mo and Ji Yanran.
After that, nothing special happened.
In the next nearly a month, Chen Mo and his "team" traveled to almost half of China, visiting the remaining music boys and girls funded by Lu Chengzong.
Except for a child in Yu Province, under the influence of his family's interference, he pretended to be a talented person to defraud Lu Chengzong of the charity money, and the other children were completely fine.
This result made Chen Mo very satisfied, and he could finally go home with peace of mind.
In fact, Chang'an's side has tried again and again to get Chen Mo to return earlier, after all, the time is almost the end of the year, and everything is complicated.
First of all, "The Forever Seven Princesses" has achieved very good box office results since its release.
Although there are only a few days left before the next gear, it is basically an ironclad thing for the total box office to surpass "Warm Corpse", which makes Zhou Renliang, as the director of the film, full of joy.
But if you want to talk about the most happy, it is no surprise that Zhao Shu must be the first to be recommended.
Zhao Shu, the former best friend of the original Chen Mo, because he starred as the male number one in "The Forever Seven Princesses", his popularity has quickly changed from obscurity before the release of the film to a popular fried chicken referred to by N sisters as "husband".
In order to allow Zhao Shu's popularity to continue, Yan's mother deliberately arranged Zhao Shu to go to a large-scale celebrity reality show that had to be recorded and broadcast continuously for at least more than a month.
Chen Mo specially watched one episode of the show, and he was sure that Zhao Shu's performance on the show was very eye-catching. But at the same time, there is no pretentiousness, and he does not lose his original temperament. He was relieved.
Well, in fact, whether it is the movie "The Seven Princesses of Eternity", or Zhou Renliang, whose position as a big director has been consolidated. And Zhao Shu, who continues to be a little fresh meat, has little impact on whether Chen Mo rushes back to the capital as soon as possible.
What is more than Zhou Renliang and Zhao Shu wants Chen Mo to return to Chang'an as soon as possible is the two program groups.
To put it in more detail, it is the "Kamen Singer" program group headed by Zhao Jinjiang and the "Voice of China" program group led by Mi Rongwei.
This year, Chen Mo did not participate in these two shows at all on the grounds that he wanted to make a movie.
However, the ratings of these two programs recorded and broadcast before and after showed an obvious polarization trend.
entered the third season of "Kamen Singer", even if it has found a number of big singers to support the scene and attract popularity. But probably because the novelty has faded, its ratings have been declining month-on-month.
In the second season of "The Voice of China", after Chen Mo, the champion mentor of the first season, left, he brought in the roaring leader Cao Wei as the new voice mentor.
Cao Wei's ability to change songs, in fact, was already very obvious when he participated in the "Kamen Song God" program, and when he grabbed outstanding students, Cao Wei was all kinds of people who had no lower limit to tease him, and he couldn't laugh and become a psychopath.
Coupled with the other three senior mentors, this second season of "The Voice of China" is still full of popularity. At least the ratings are a slight increase on the basis of the first season.
But under the dazzling light of "The Voice of China", there are also hidden problems that belong to it, and even some spectators have clear-eyed music critics on this issue. It's all been discovered.
"There's no denying that The Voice of China is a very engaging show, so even in its second season, it's still very popular with audiences. has basically locked in the well-deserved title of this year's entertainment program ratings champion. But compared with the previous one, those can almost be described as a hundred schools of thought. The students with a very high rate of excellent songs and a high degree of singing are the students who can impress people this season. In fact, there are only five or six people, and if there is no accident, the students of the two-eyed voice in the next season of the show will only continue to decrease on this basis......"
As the music critic who signed "Mo Wenfa" said, in fact, as the producer of the "Voice of China" program, Mi Rongwei himself is very aware of this problem.
The first season of the program can almost be said to be selected as the best folk singers in the country, so while successfully detonating the ratings of the first season of the program, it also seriously affected the selection of students in the second season.
has a unique natural good voice, but it will not be like a leek to cut a stubble, and it will soon be able to regenerate a more vigorous new stubble, and it can't let those outstanding students who were selected for the Voice mentor team last season make a comeback, not to mention the issue of having to negotiate with Storm Audio-Visual Company, even the audience will probably not buy it......
So I don't have to read the signed article, Mi Rongwei is already very anxious - what should I do in the next season of the show?
It just so happened that among the four mentors, Professor Du Fengqi Du had already made it clear that he would not be the mentor of the next season's show, so Mi Rongwei couldn't help but think about it, he wanted to invite Chen Mo to return as a mentor of The Voice.
But what made Mi Rongwei very helpless was that when he told Chen Mo about this idea a little bit of a fussy phone call, Chen Mo gave him a suggestion - "Rice, I think the real solution to your problem is not to change someone to be a mentor, but to leave enough time to recuperate, so don't you think it's most appropriate to change the program that is held every year to one season every two years?" ”
Well, Mi Rongwei also admitted that Chen Mo's idea of cultivating a business is indeed a very feasible method, but the problem is...... If he takes a year off, will he still be the producer of the show when he is running this show?
The popularity and gold absorption of the two seasons of the show not only allowed Mi Rongwei to successfully prove his ability, but also attracted a large number of people who wanted to replace him.
For some personal reasons, and at least for two seasons of the show, Mi Rongwei definitely doesn't want to lose his current status.
In short, Mi Rongwei is absolutely unwilling, and he really hopes that Chen Mo can return to the Voice of China program.
To this end. Mi Rongwei did not return to Liangzhejiang TV after the second season of The Voice Peak Battle. Instead, he stayed in Chang'an and waited for the rabbit, bent on waiting for Chen Mo to come back. and then moved Chen Mo in a face-to-face form.
The so-called heroes see the same thing, Zhao Jinjiang, who is heartbroken because of the shrinking ratings of the Kamen God of Songs, after learning the accurate information that Chen Mo is about to return to Chang'an, he rushed to the capital and put on a posture of waiting for the rabbit.
But it's a pity that Chen Mo, who hurriedly returned to Chang'an, didn't return to Chanba's villa at all, but got off the plane and drove directly to Xiliu Town in the southern suburbs.
This fine willow town is the hometown of the fine willow camp of the famous general Zhou Yafu in the Western Han Dynasty, but the fine willow camp has long been wiped out after the vicissitudes of life for thousands of years. There is only one stone tablet of "Ancient Willow Camp" erected during the period of the Great Qianyingzong, which is still silently proving its glorious past.
Of course, Chen Mo came here specifically not to face the stone monument to pay tribute to the famous general who had been strict in governing the army and had saved the Han Dynasty from the generals, but in the end he could not die well.
Chen Mo came here to visit the "campus" of the private Nuannuan Conservatory of Music.
When Chen Moman inspected the students in China, there were also people in Chang'an who were constantly looking for the most suitable place to establish a conservatory according to his requirements.
In this place, there used to be a public vocational and technical school. However, due to several successive campus scandals, and the school's student source is also decreasing year by year, this public vocational and technical college was abolished the year before last.
The land and buildings of the school were all transferred to the name of the town government of Xiliu Town. You can take it out and sell it at any time.
But this place is a little far away from Chang'an City after all, and the permanent population of Xiliu Town is only 20,000 or 30,000, and the land of the vocational and technical school has been placed for two years. It's still in a state of no one's interest.
Judging from the information that Chen Mo has obtained, this former vocational and technical college covers a fairly large area. With a radius of about 500 acres of land in the surrounding area, there are two four-story teaching buildings and two five-story dormitory buildings. There is a three-story teaching building, football field, basketball court, badminton court, and everything is available.
Chen Mo was quite satisfied after taking a turn in the already barren school in the already barren school.
Although there has been no maintenance for two years, so there are wild grass everywhere, and the flower beds and street trees that green the campus are about to become forests, but several buildings of the school are still in good condition.
However, what satisfies Chen Mo the most is the layout of the school building that does not need to be changed at all.
In a place that wasn't a school before, where is there an environment that can be used as a school?
"This place is very nice! There seem to be two small buses passing by in front of the school gate, and it is not too far from the central area of the town...... Look no further, just here! ”
Because he felt very satisfied, Chen Mo made a decision directly after reading it.
"Boss, are you really not looking at other alternatives anymore?"
The employees of Storm Audio-Visual Company, who were entrusted by Chen Mo and successfully found this abandoned state, didn't seem to want Chen Mo to make a final decision so hastily.
"Don't look at it, there's no need to look at other alternatives, I think this place is very good!"
Chen Mo waved his hand, he rushed back after all, and the physical and mental fatigue made him unwilling to continue running around.
"That's right, it's good to be a music school in this place, just recruit a few hundred students and settle down!"
Ji Yanran also agreed with Chen Mo's opinion, she also followed Chen Mo around the school just now, the campus building layout of this vocational and technical college is very similar to the layout of the middle school that Ji Yanran studied before, so Ji Yanran, who was nostalgic, also fell in love with this place at first sight.
"But, but, ......" The employee of the Storm Audio-Visual Company who tried to persuade Chen Mo to see other alternative locations finally said the real reason why he tried to persuade after hesitating for a while: "Boss, you don't know, I heard that our company intends to take this piece of land, and the person in charge of the land transaction in Xiliu Town, the lion opened his mouth to open a high price for this land that exceeds the market price of Xiliu Town!" ”
"How tall exactly?"
Chen Mo frowned, he was very disgusted with this kind of official ape who used public power to act recklessly.
"The man said that if you rent land, you will receive 20 million yuan a year, and you will have to calculate the water and electricity bills separately! Then, if you buy it wholly owned, it's a fixed price...... One and a half million! I investigated very clearly, the boss, according to the total area of the school, the asking price of 1.5 billion yuan has exceeded the market price by almost twice the market price! ”
The employee of the Storm Audio-Visual Company who is in charge of this matter is obviously really very investigative about this matter, and his loyalty to the Storm-Audio-Visual Company does not seem to be low, so it is very clear and unhappy.
"One and a half million? That's a lot! ”
Ji Yanran couldn't help but be speechless when she heard it, in fact, Ji Yanran didn't have any specific concept of more than 10,000 yuan, but she at least remembered her total assets clearly, and now it was less than 80 million, and 1.50 million yuan was twice as much as her total assets......
"Boss, in fact, if that person just opened his mouth, it would be okay, what is disgusting is that after asking for this high price, he secretly contacted me in private, saying that if I can give him the meaning in place, then whether it is renting or buying, the price is negotiable......"
The employee of the Storm Audio-Visual Company, who was unhappy, lowered his voice a little and continued.
"I seem to remember, your name is Xu Xingzhou?"
Chen Mo did not make any comments on this blatant bribery, but unexpectedly suddenly asked the name of the employee of the Storm Audio-Visual Company.
"Huh? Well, yes boss, my name is indeed Xu Xingzhou, and I'm honored that you remember my name, boss! ”
Being able to be clearly remembered by the boss who has only met him once, the employee of this storm audio and video company is obviously a little happy.
"Don't be honored, I just have a hard memory." Chen Mo is not the kind of scheming boss who will envelop his subordinates, after waving his hand to say that it is no big deal, he turned the topic back to business: "Xu Xingzhou, I now have carte blanche to entrust you to negotiate with the mayor of Xiliu Town, or some other leader who can really manage things, or some other leader about purchasing land." ”
"But I'm ...... Well, now that you've decided, boss, I'll take over the task! ”
Xu Xingzhou seemed to want to be modest, but under Chen Mo's gaze, he finally took the errand.
"My request is to negotiate this deal within ten days, and no bribes are allowed to be paid if the transaction is legitimate, and finally my bid bottom line is ......" Chen Mo paused slightly, and said his bid bottom line: "Double the market price." (To be continued.) )
