Chapter 274: The Vicious Nature of Capital
"Sing Loudly" ended perfectly on Donghai Satellite TV, and the ratings broke the ratings record of Donghai Satellite TV in the past five years.
The peak ratings of the live broadcast of the finals reached 2.51%, making it the highest-rated quarterly variety show in China this year.
This means that "Sing Loudly" will be the king of variety show ratings this year.
Domestic TV stations have discovered the ratings password, and all TV series and variety shows with Fang Xing's participation will be a big hit.
is not only a big hit, but the songs in the show can also be valuable.
It was either forwarded and praised by the official Weibo of the state department, or it was selected as the Olympic song.
This kind of song that can be valuable is not something that can be obtained by hard work.
However, this type of song continues to appear in Fang Xing's hands.
The hit of "Sing Loudly" once again proves this point.
Therefore, after the live broadcast of the final of "Sing Loudly", more and more TV stations and video platforms contacted Fang Xing's friends, companies, and agents through various contacts and channels, and they were all asking about the work plan in the future.
Whether it's a variety show or a TV series, there are people who want to invest.
A few weeks after the finals of "Sing Loudly", Fang Xing has been constantly invited by the leaders of various TV stations.
……
"Sing Loudly" not only broke the ratings record of the past five years on Donghai Satellite TV, but also the number of broadcasts on Penguin Video is also very amazing.
A week after the finals, the number of views of "Sing Loudly" exceeded 5 billion in the whole season.
Penguin Video also celebrated the success with a banner on the homepage.
Of course, these 5 billion views include feature films, pure enjoyment versions, VIP members-exclusive tidbits and other video content.
Moreover, this amount of views is not the final amount of views.
After the finals, "Sing Loudly" still occupies the top three positions on the variety show hit list.
On the day when the homepage of Penguin Video celebrated that the number of views of the whole season of "Sing Loudly" exceeded 5 billion, it once again rushed to the first place on the hit list.
It's not just penguin videos.
There are traces of "Sing Loudly" on all major online platforms on the Internet.
From three days before the finals to a week after the finals, the hot search on Weibo has not stopped.
Live broadcast platforms are also covering songs on "Sing Loudly".
"Dream Chasing Pure Heart" and "I Really Love You" have opened the left-right fighting mode of the music billboard, competing with themselves for the charts.
If you analyze it carefully, everyone in the industry knows that one of the reasons why the finals of "Sing Loudly" are so popular is because of Tan Zhiguan.
As the king of the music world, Tan Zhiguan himself can carry the ratings.
However, the last person standing on the cusp of the storm is Fang Xing.
This made Tan Zhiguan disappear from public view for a while after the final.
……
In addition, the most uncomfortable is Chen Lipeng.
Because he was the driving force behind the operation of this final, he spent a lot of money, but he didn't achieve his goal.
Although Pengcheng Capital is mainly controlled by the Chen family, in fact, investment companies at this level will cross-hold shares with other large capitals.
Therefore, the project operated by Chen Lipeng this time is obviously a loss, and it has lost a lot.
The money was not made much, and the fame was not obtained, which also caused the valuation of Merlin Records to drop by a bit.
In this case, Chen Lipeng must give an explanation to the other shareholders of Pengcheng Capital.
Of course, there are many ways to explain this.
For the shareholders of the company, there is only one goal, and that is to make money.
If you lose money on one project, you can make up for it on another project.
After knowing that Tan Zhiguan could not win the championship, Chen Lipeng had already thought of various possibilities.
The valuation of Merlin Records has declined, the value of Tan Zhiguan has fallen, and the endorsement contract has shrunk next year.
The doubts of the shareholders of Pengcheng Capital, and a series of other things, Chen Lipeng thought of them.
He doesn't care about Tan Zhiguan's situation now, what he has to deal with is the capital behind him, Tan Zhiguan says that he is the king of the music world, but in the eyes of capital, he is just a tool to make money.
The next day.
After Chen Lipeng dealt with the matter at hand, he immediately rushed home to discuss with the old man at home to solve this matter.
In fact, the Chen family has an absolute controlling stake in Pengcheng Capital, so the shareholders' doubts are only a small crisis, and not to the extent of breaking the bones.
However, if it is not handled well, a major shareholder will withdraw his shares, which will lead to investors losing confidence in Pengcheng Capital.
Therefore, this matter still needs to be handled safely.
……
The next night.
After Chen Lipeng finished entertaining, he returned to Shengtian Zunpin.
As soon as the car entered the garage of the villa, Chen Wenhan came up to say hello: "Second uncle, what was the situation last night?" Why did Fang Xing win the championship again, didn't he say that he wanted to help Tan Zhiguan win the championship? ”
Because of the previous incident of "Blood Rain Jianghu", Chen Lipeng was not very satisfied with this nephew, and the company's affairs were not something that Chen Wenhan could ask about.
Chen Lipeng replied casually: "Read your book carefully, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”
When Chen Wenhan heard this, his expression turned cold.
From childhood to adulthood, he was regarded as a genius by the old man of the Chen family.
Part of the Chen family's commercial success is due to the name of "musical family".
It also means that music is the foundation and heritage of the Chen family.
And it has to be elegant music, like a violinist.
Chen Wenhan is a musical genius cultivated by the old man of the Chen family and ready to gain the glory and status of high society for the Chen family.
In the first twenty years, Chen Wenhan did meet the requirements of the old man of the Chen family.
Therefore, Chen Wenhan is the most favored one among the many sons and nephews of the Chen family, and the resources he has received since he was a child are the best.
The Chen family also created a character of a musical genius and a noble son for Chen Wenhan.
This character is also very useful, especially when used to play with women, it's easy to catch.
It can be said that Chen Wenhan's life in the first 26 years was as smooth as taking the protagonist's script, and he was licked by people from childhood to adulthood.
It wasn't until last year's Paganini International Violin Competition that a little accident happened in his life.
Originally, the Paganini International Violin Competition was just a small accident.
Although Chen Wenhan did not win the gold medal, he also won the third place.
The Paganini Competition is one of the most prestigious competitions in the violin world, and a ranking is enough to show off.
Therefore, he just didn't get a gold medal, not really Waterloo.
For the average person, finishing third is enough to make a name for themselves.
But in Chen Wenhan's view, this is the only setback in his 26 years of life, and it is a loss to undergraduates from the same school.
This is the reason why he really can't accept it in his heart.
Later, the more he watched Fang Xing calling for wind and rain in the entertainment industry, the more unhappy he became, and he also wanted to enter the entertainment industry and become the emperor of the entertainment industry.
Moreover, with the resources of the Chen family, it is not too simple to praise him as a prince.
Therefore, as soon as he debuted, he starred in the S-level production "Blood Rain Rivers and Lakes".
It's a pity that this S-level martial arts drama is very thorough.
If he just hit the street, he wouldn't be so uncomfortable.
Isn't it just a loss of money, he doesn't care at all, and it's the family's money that he loses, not the money in his hands.
What really made him uncomfortable was that "Wulin Gaiden", which was fighting in the ring with "Blood Rain Jianghu", exploded, and it exploded into a mess.
Even "Wulin Gaiden" has been on the air for half a year, and now it is still hanging on the first place in the hit list of comedy categories, and looking at the trend, it is likely that it will be on the list for a long time.
There is no harm without contrast.
This made Chen Wenhan more and more unhappy the more he looked at Fang Xing, and even occasionally met Lu Xianger at school, he had nowhere to vent the fire in his heart.
This time.
Fang Xing stepped on Tan Zhiguan, the king of heaven pushed by the Chen family, and won the championship of "Sing Loudly".
Chen Wenhan was even more unhappy, so he wanted to ask what the situation was.
He has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he knows that Pengcheng Capital can dominate the music industry, not by luck, but by strength.
Therefore, with Pengcheng Capital operating behind the scenes, coupled with Tan Zhiguan's own strength and popularity, it is impossible not to win the championship.
He felt that there must be something wrong here, so he chose to ask his second uncle Chen Lipeng.
……
It's just that now Chen Lipeng has a lot of things to deal with, and he is not in the mood to take care of this nephew's emotions at all, so he will go directly into the house and go to the study on the first floor to see Chen Xingye, the old man of the Chen family.
After Chen Lipeng closed the door of the study, he put on a slightly respectful expression and said, "Dad, this project was not done well. ”
Chen Xingye is in his seventies, with gray hair, but his eyes are still sharp.
He raised his hand and said, "Okay, I know everything." Tell us what you think and how you want to remedy it? ”
Before Chen Lipeng came, he had actually thought it through, but after a moment of silence, he replied: "Dad, the momentum of Songshi Records is too fast, and the show has just ended, and the popularity of the song is also very high."
"Now if you want to press Turquoise Records, it's a matter of half the effort.
"So, the best thing to do is to go cold and let the limelight pass this time.
"As for the loss this time, we can make up for it from other places."
Chen Xingye nodded silently.
As the real helmsman of the Chen family, although he has handed over Pengcheng Capital to Chen Lipeng to take care of, when he really encounters a major event, his second son still has to come back to discuss with him.
It can be said that the foundation of the Chen family is the result of Chen Xingye's hard work.
To this extent, Chen Xingye can see many things more thoroughly than young people.
Like the current situation of Songshi Records, it is a black swan in business, and once it appears, it is unreasonable.
In this case, the best thing to do is to let it dry for a while and wait for the stormy momentum of Turquoise Records to pass before dealing with it.
As for the loss of Pengcheng Capital this time, the easiest way is to make up for it from other places.
Shareholders want to make money, and as long as they can make it back, everything else is easy to say.
Chen Xingye pondered for a moment and asked, "Where are you going to make up for it?" ”
Chen Lipeng smiled and said: "The financing that Dachuan Audio has been talking to us about for more than half a year, and the first batch of financing has been released.
"If the capital is withdrawn now, the capital chain of Dachuan Audio will be broken immediately.
"Then Lu Jianchuan can only wait for bankruptcy and liquidation, and at that time, it will only cost one-fifth or even less to acquire Dachuan Audio.
"Then split and sell, not only can the loss be made up for this time, but also doubled and earned."
After hearing this proposal, Chen Xingye pondered for a moment and asked, "Isn't it that the relationship between our two families is not bad, isn't it inappropriate to do this?" ”
Chen Lipeng shook his head and said: "Actually, our two families have nothing to do with each other, we can only know each other." When the time comes, when acquiring Dachuan Audio, you don't need to make a move in the name of Pengcheng Capital, and find another investment company to acquire. ”
Chen Xingye frowned and asked: "But last time I heard that Wen Han and his mother went to their house as guests, do you want to ask Wen Han what he thinks first, and the matter of face still can't be done too much." ”
At this time.
The door of the study was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Chen Wenhan walked in and said loudly: "No need to ask, I don't know that family, so I will do it according to what the second uncle said, and directly let Dachuan Audio go bankrupt and liquidate." ”
Chen Xingye frowned when he saw his grandson breaking in, but he didn't say anything, nodded and said, "Then let's do it." When doing it, it should be clean, and the company that acquired Dachuan Audio can't have anything to do with our family on the surface. ”
Chen Lipeng nodded and replied: "I know what to do about this, so I'll arrange it." ”
Chen Xingye waved his hand and asked his second son to go down to do errands.
After Chen Lipeng left.
Chen Wenhan walked up to Chen Xingye and said, "Grandpa, the second uncle's method this time is really good. ”
Chen Xingye smiled and said, "Eavesdropping is not a good habit. ”
"Is there anything else I can't know about my family?" Chen Wenhan has been favored since he was a child, and there is never anything he can't do at home.
"You should be an artist by nature, don't get involved in business, remember to practice well, you will be the sun of the Chen family in the future, and the Chen family needs your light to shine." Chen Xingye admonished.
"I know, my violin is basically at its peak, and all that is missing is fame." Chen Wenhan replied.
"By the way, didn't you and your mother go to Lu Jianchuan's house last time? Why is it unripe again. Chen Xingye asked.
"I don't want to mention this matter, anyway, I support the second uncle's decision, so I should teach them a lesson." Chen Wenhan didn't want to mention that incident.
Chen Xingye smiled and said: "All the business matters are handed over to your second uncle, you are an artist, and you have to dissociate yourself from the smell of copper."
"There is also the matter of Dachuan audio, don't mention it to anyone, our Chen family is a musical family, and we won't do this kind of evil thing, understand?"
Chen Wenhan nodded and agreed: "Don't worry." With my brain, I know what to do and what not to do. ”
Chen Xingye coughed, changed to a slightly stern tone and said: "I heard that you have recently been very close to the female star surnamed Song, you can play, but you can't be entangled, you should give money and money, the door of our house is not for anyone to enter." I have other arrangements for your marriage. ”
Chen Wenhan said with a smile: "Don't worry." I'm just playing, and I'll get rid of it after a while. ”
