Chapter 76: Commitment
76
Lin Banshan didn't believe what Chen Beiming said.
The reason why he chose to cooperate with Chen Beiming is very simple, he has ambitions, he hopes to make Arctic Audiovisual stronger and bigger as soon as possible, he hopes that Arctic Audiovisual is not just a company that produces and sells audio-visual products, he hopes that his company can get involved in the upstream of the cultural industry, he understands very well that there is the Red Sea of profits!
And Chen Beiming is a person from the General Political Department, where there are the best creators and singer resources in the country, and he has no connections with the General Political Department, so Chen Beiming's visit to him is really sleepy and encounters a pillow.
"I'm really lucky!"
When he sent Chen Beiming away and returned to the office, Lin Banshan had a smile on his face, his heart was so happy that he couldn't help it.
"Xiaoli, come over here." Lin Banshan made a phone call to his secretary.
After a while, a beautiful woman in high heels walked in: "Mr. Lin, you are looking for me." β
"You can personally grab Zhang Yunsheng's new album, this is the relevant information and contact number, the specific details, you and Chen Beiming colluded."
The secretary took the information, looked at it carefully, and then raised his head to look at Lin Banshan: "Mr. Lin, you really want to release Zhang Yunsheng's album!" β
She was a little worried.
Arctic Music is like a private enterprise, at its own risk, and any failure must be avoided as much as possible, so singers like Zhang Yunsheng - who are not famous and whose albums are completely inconsistent with the current fashion trend - their choices have always been directly refused, but now Lin Banshan is unusual, and she has to be cautious to remind her.
"It's fine." Lin Banshan smiled, and when he found that she was still worried, he revealed some relevant details: "They promised that if the sales in the first month could not exceed one million, they would buy back all the albums that could not be sold." β
"Repo all?" When the secretary heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Lin, that Chen Beiming doesn't look like an unobtrusive person, how could he make such an unusual choice?" Is there some conspiracy here? β
The secretary suspected that Chen Beiming had ulterior motives.
"It's nothing, it's just conceited!" Lin Banshan smiled faintly: "The people of the General Political Department have always been extremely confident, but this time they are a little ......too confident."
He pursed his lips and chuckled.
"But that's good, I just made a bet with him, and the bet is that if he loses, he will have to help us write some songs, and he will have to help us introduce some singers."
When the secretary heard this, his eyes lit up: "Mr. Lin, did he really agree?" β
Well. Lin Banshan nodded.
The secretary was overjoyed: "Mr. Lin, then our plan should be able to be advanced." β
"That's what I thought too." Lin Banshan smiled and nodded.
Both of them firmly believe that Chen Beiming will definitely lose.
Outside, Zhang Yun started the car and asked, "Mr. Chen, did Manager Lin really agree?" β
In the building just now, it was inconvenient to say some words, so although she was very anxious, she endured it until this moment.
"Promised." Chen Beiming nodded while fastening his seat belt.
"But didn't they strongly disagree with it before? Why did you change your mind all at once? Zhang Yun was extremely surprised.
"It's very simple, I told Lin Banshan that if the album "Look at the Face of the Moon" doesn't sell for one million in a month, we will buy back all the ones that can't be sold."
"What?"
Zhang Yun screamed, because she was so excited, her right foot stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed forward, but fortunately she reacted quickly, hit the direction sharply, and stepped on the brakes sharply, which barely controlled the car.
"Do you think Yaya's album sold less than a million in the first month?" Chen Beiming asked playfully.
In fact, selling one million albums in Xia is nothing, Xia has a large population, more than two billion, and the people's awareness of copyright is quite strong, so as long as it is a singer above the third tier, as long as the quality of the album is acceptable, it can basically sell more than one million copies.
But the problem is that Yaya has just debuted, and she has no popularity or anything, so Zhang Yun is so unconfident.
In fact, whether it is Zhang Yunshang himself or Zhang Yun or Zhang Yunsheng's father, the expectation for the first album is that the total sales can exceed 500,000.
So Chen Beiming's promise to Lin Banshan is really a bit scary.
"Teacher Chen, you.... Isn't that a bit sloppy? Zhang Yun wanted to speak and stopped.
"It's nothing, I believe in Yaya's charm." Chen Beiming replied with a smile.
Nonsense, Yaya's album can sell more than 500,000 in that little Taipei on the earth, and a country as big here can't sell 1 million, so how is it possible?
So he's confident.
Moreover, Zhang Yunsheng's father had promised him before that he could make full decisions about all matters related to the album, whether it was funds or anything.
He didn't believe that Zhang Yunsheng's father would hold a grudge because of this incident, or flatly regret it.
But Zhang Yun's heart was bottomless, she turned her head to look at Chen Beiming, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but in the end, she still felt that it was not appropriate to say anything.
When she returned to the company, she found an opportunity and quietly told Zhang Yunshang about it: "Yunshang, do you know that today Chen Beiming promised their manager Lin Banshan after going to the North Pole Audiovisual, saying that if the sales of this album in the first month do not reach one million, and if it can't be sold, you want our company to buy it back?" β
Zhang Yunshang was practicing singing, and after listening to Zhang Yun's words, she was stunned, and then oh, and there was no other reaction.
Zhang Yun looked at it and was anxious: "Yunshang, you won't be naΓ―ve enough to think that your album will sell more than one million as soon as it goes on the market, right?" β
Zhang Yunshang turned his head and glanced at her: "Why can't you?" β
"......" Zhang Yun was speechless.
This Chen Beiming, how can he be like this!
What kind of ecstasy did he give Yaya, why is it that in just a few days, Yaya seems to have changed as a person, and even believes the nonsense that the new album can sell for a million?
In the evening, Zhang Yun quietly found Zhang Yunsheng's father: "Second uncle, there is something I think is necessary to tell you." β
Zhang Yun told him everything Chen Beiming did today.
Zhang Yunsheng's father listened to it and frowned: "This decision is too hasty, I have inquired, the first album of the average singer's debut, it is difficult for most of them to reach this level in the first month." β
"yes." Zhang Yun nodded without falling: "So, second uncle, are you looking for Chen Beiming to have a good talk?" β
But what Zhang Yun didn't expect was that Zhang Yunsheng's father shook his head: "But since I promised him, I will naturally choose to let go and trust, so I ......"
He patted Zhang Yun: "Don't say anything or do anything in the future, you just need to cooperate well with Chen Beiming." β
"But ......"
"Alright, that's it." Zhang Yunsheng's father interrupted.
It's a big deal to lose 10 million, it's not a big deal, but how can a man easily reverse the promise he made?
