"Mr. Wang, I think there should be additional publicity expenses."

In the office, Wen Dong was proposing to a middle-aged man.

This person has a white face and beard, and his eyebrows are very thick, and he is Wang Zhonglei, the boss of Huayi. At this time, he was sitting upright on a chair and looking at Wen Dong condescendingly, his face was slightly unhappy.

"What you proposed before was three million, and the company has already implemented it all."

"I don't think it's up to expectations."

"Haven't lived up to expectations?" Wang Zhonglei slammed the newspaper on the table, "Look at these pages, it's all the promotion of this album, and it's been a month without repeating it!" Not enough? ”

Wen Dong's face was expressionless, "I propose to increase the publicity fee to 5 million." ”

"5 million?" Wang Zhonglei raised his eyebrows and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "Do you know how much Feng Dacang spent to make a movie?" Just an album, you let me invest 5 million? ”

"The revenue from the film is short-term in nature, and if we put this portfolio out, then the long-term returns will be increasing day by day, and I think those investments are inevitable."

"Inevitably?" Wang Zhonglei's eyes narrowed, "Do you really think of yourself as a prophet?" What do you think of these songs? ”

He pulled out a newspaper full of invectives against the songs, "The words are too watery, they have no depth, and they moan without disease." The page of this statement is even larger than the page of our propaganda. ”

"It's part of the publicity." Wen Dong glanced at it and said flatly.

"Humph! Don't say 5 million, if the 3 million can't be returned, I have to see how you end up. ”

Wen Dong's face jumped, and he felt that he was playing the piano to the cow.

This man doesn't understand music at all, and he doesn't understand the music market.

However, if you want to apply for these funds, you still need the person's approval.

"It's a period of market rebound, and our publicity has taken up the publicity opportunities of many singers, who have improved themselves by belittling the album, and it is inevitable that they will become popular. Just like brain black gold advertising, brainwashing propaganda will always cause dissatisfaction in the market. Ultimately, however, we have to speak through hard power. ”

He took a deep breath, "You should have listened to this album. ”

Wang Zhonglei's face froze, and he lit a cigarette, noncommittal.

Seeing that the other party's attitude was somewhat relaxed, Wen Dong immediately added fuel and vinegar and said: "The combination of Yuquan can occupy so much market share, it is because we worked hard to smash it with money, and now the return is more than a hundred times that of the original, I am very optimistic about the Xingchen Band, their achievements should not be lower than Yuquan." ”

"Just because you are optimistic, the company will take risks with you?"

At the beginning of the business, in line with the principle of not being afraid of wearing shoes with bare feet, they were willing to give it a go, and bet on Yuquan on the prospects of Huayi's entire music market. But now that their family has a big business, they want to let go again, but they don't have the heart.

Besides, even if it is smashed out with money, it is just to let Huayi have one more jade spring.

And the emergence of a combination on an equal footing with Yuquan will also threaten Yuquan's position and tilt the resources of the music market slightly.

Wen Dong sighed secretly and struggled: "Our company is about to go public, and we need some fresh blood." ”

Wang Zhonglei pinched out the cigarette butt and said word by word: "It is because the listing is imminent that we can't take this risk, three million has been thrown out, this is the company's final bottom line, whether it is success or failure depends on themselves, there is no need to say anything about this matter." ”

"Okay." Wen Dong turned around abruptly.

At the same time, he has already decided on a sentence in his heart.

Huayi, I can't stay long.

Walking out of the office, he kept thinking about the road ahead.

In his opinion, the current brokerage industry is deformed.

Today's actors are attached to the agent, who holds the power of life and death of the actor, and all audition invitations must first go through the agent's hand, similar to a parasitic relationship, where the agent sucks the actor's blood.

In his thoughts, actors and agents should be in a symbiotic relationship, and the overall planning and industry, agents and actors perform their own duties, which is the road to sustainable development.

Huayi's senior management may have smelled the wind and grass and are in a hurry to take back the actor's contract, and they also realize that the agent's power is too great now, and once they leave, then Huayi's mansion in the air will collapse in an instant.

The contracts of many artists under his command have been withdrawn by the company in various ways, and Ji Yun is the last treasure in his hands.

Thinking of this, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Ji Yun.

"Hey, Brother Dong?"

"To put it mildly, Huayi is no longer ready to invest in publicity."

Ji Yun, who was far away in the courtyard, frowned.

He was arranging the MV of the song at this time, and Liu Che and Huang Bo next to him also felt that something was wrong when they saw his face.

"It's okay, the publicity at this stage is almost over." Ji Yun secretly calculated, feeling that it was almost time to close the net.

The audience's appetite has been mobilized quite a bit, and if they continue to fish like this, their sense of anticipation for this album will be greatly reduced.

"That's what I thought, how is the planning for the MV shooting? If the company doesn't pay for it, the shooting cost of the MV will be discounted. ”

"I'm trying to figure it out." Ji Yun also had a bit of a headache, but he didn't expect the company to pick at a critical moment.

"I still have some savings here, but it's not much, if I don't have enough money, I can fill it up first."

"That's it, I'll figure it out first, if it doesn't work, let's get together together."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Hanging up the phone, Ji Yun sighed.

"What's wrong, Yunzi." Liu Che asked.

"The company pulled the crotch and didn't give the money."

"That's nothing, let's pay for the propaganda ourselves." Liu Che smiled, "What do you think is the matter, it scares me, the money is easy to say." ”

"It's not that simple." Huang Bo said in a low voice, "The biggest impact of Huayi's picks on us is not money, but resources. Take the hero and heroine of the MV as an example, if Huayi comes forward, we may not need to pay a penny, and we can let Huayi's actors come to make cameos for free. What's more, this matter is half cut off, and it will be difficult to divide it in the future. ”

"What should I do?" Liu Che didn't expect that there was this layer inside, so he immediately scratched his scalp and said in distress.

"Let me contact the actress of the MV first."

Among the actors, she is familiar with a few old things, and none of them are quite suitable for the theme of this album. The album centers on boys, who don't quite coincide in age in the first place.

If you really can't do it, just do it yourself, after all, you don't need any acting skills in the MV.

But the actress here, he has a lot of mobile phone numbers.

Open the phonebook.

It lists a number of beauties from the Tianlong crew.
