A series of TV series such as "Crime by the Pillow" and "Invisible Spy" have suffered losses, resulting in a very ugly financial report of Red Film and Television for two consecutive years.

This also directly led to the loss of the controlling capital behind Ruide Film and Television, Pengcheng Capital and Dingsheng Capital for two consecutive years.

Last year, Pengcheng Capital originally planned to rely on Tan Zhiguan's new album and national tour to return to blood.

As a result, Tan Zhiguan's new album "The Return of the King" has been pressed by Fang Xing's new album since it was released.

As a result, Merlin Records' revenue last year was not as expected.

Originally, Pengcheng Capital planned to rely on Tan Zhiguan to cut 1000000000000 leeks to make up for the losses for two consecutive years.

It's a pity that Tan Zhiguan's national tour only cut less than 500 million.

Moreover, after the tour of key cities is over, continue to tour to small and medium-sized cities, and the revenue will decrease rapidly.

After this wave of Merlin Records, it will be difficult to have this level of revenue in two years.

Although Merlin Records cut 500 million, the record company itself and Tan Zhiguan had to take money from it, and only more than 200 million could be allocated to Pengcheng Capital in the end.

Although more than 200 million is more, it can only barely quench the thirst of a company of the size of Pengcheng Capital, which is not enough to make up for the losses for two consecutive years.

The money that Mailin Records just made with Tan Zhiguan returned a little blood.

On the side of Red Film and Television, it lost a fortune because of "Invisible Spy".

One in and one out, Pengcheng Capital's financial report this year is still ugly.

……

Pengcheng Capital has lost money for two consecutive years, and the Chen family has been greatly affected.

Chen Xingye, who had been retired for ten years, had to ask about it: "What the hell is going on with the company?" Why are the losses getting worse? ”

Chen Lipeng was very helpless.

He has been trying to find a way to reverse the company's investment losses, but each time it has deviated greatly from what he expected.

Since Chen Xingye opened his mouth to ask, it shows that he is very dissatisfied with the company's management.

Chen Lipeng could only patiently explain: "Dad, you also know the loss-making projects in the past two years. There is nothing wrong with the project itself, but since offending the Ark culture, every project will be crushed by them.

"The project that could have been profitable was also pressed down, resulting in lower revenue than expected.

"This is also the case with the spy war drama this time, before the launch of "The Pretender", the ratings of our drama were okay, once reaching 1.7% of the ratings.

"However, as soon as Ark Culture's "The Pretender" was launched, the ratings were taken by the other party, resulting in the final revenue not as expected."

Chen Xingye groaned and did not interject, wanting to continue to listen to Chen Lipeng.

At this time.

Chen Wenhan interjected: "The loss of "Invisible Spy" is nothing. However, Rhett Film and Television pounced on this drama, and it will not be so easy to sell the dramas filmed in the future. ”

The dramas in which Emperor Shi participated can hit the streets, and the reputation of Rhett Film and Television in the industry has collapsed.

The TV station is not a fool, and it bought the drama of Rhett Film and Television, and the ratings were rotten like that.

In the future, if Red Film and Television makes a TV series again, will the TV station still dare to buy it?

Even if the TV station is willing to buy it, it will keep the price very low.

Therefore, the reputation of Red Film and Television in the industry has collapsed, and unless the next drama can produce a hit, it will be difficult for the drama to sell at a high price.

Chen Lipeng is getting more and more disgusted with this nephew.

Chen Wenhan has graduated from graduate school and is considering whether to continue his PhD studies or look for other developments.

Because Chen Wenhan wanted to intervene in the management of Pengcheng Capital after graduation, and Chen's mother's shares were already held by Chen Wenhan, Chen Wenhan had a great say in Pengcheng Capital.

The uncle and nephew have great differences in the management of the company.

Coupled with the serious losses of Pengcheng Capital in the past two years, Chen Lipeng's prestige has been decreasing.

As a result, there are many problems within Pengcheng Capital.

Of course, when he was at home, Chen Lipeng couldn't bring back the emotions of work, at least not in front of Chen Xingye.

He asked in a normal tone, "Wen Han, how are you preparing for your Ph.D.?" ”

This matter is the best way to contain Chen Wenhan.

Because Chen Xingye has always hoped to cultivate Chen Wenhan as a musical talent, it is very in line with Chen Xingye's expectations to finish his master's degree and continue to study for a doctorate.

Chen Xingye answered: "Wen Han, didn't you contact the doctoral supervisor?" When you have time, go for a walk. ”

In fact, Chen Wenhan was tired of school and said, "I don't want to do a Ph.D. anymore. “

Chen Xingye didn't get angry immediately, but frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

Chen Wenhan leaned back in his chair and said, "Our family has been losing money for two consecutive years, and I hope to help the company."

"My personal studio has always been profitable, and with my ability, I have officially entered the entertainment industry, and it is certain that it will be red.

"So, I plan to start a business and develop my personal studio into an entertainment company."

Chen Xingye frowned and asked, "Why don't you want to study for a doctorate?" Is it bad to walk the music path? Your talent for playing the violin has been so good since you were a child. ”

Ever since the Paganini Violin Competition, he has been living in the shadow of a person, which has led to a bit of a collapse in his mentality.

The violin is an elegant art that is sometimes inexplicable.

Since that competition, he has never been able to shake off the influence, resulting in average results in the international competitions he participated in in the next two years.

"In the last two years, do you still need to tell me what the results are?" As soon as Chen Wenhan mentioned this, his temper was very bad.

"After reaching a certain height, it is normal to encounter bottlenecks, as long as you cross the past, there will be higher space in the future." Chen Xingye persuaded.

Chen Wenhan took a deep breath and said, "I will continue to practice the violin, but I also need breathing space." Sometimes, when you do something else and go back to playing the violin, you improve. ”

Chen's mother also helped on the side: "Art comes from life, let Wen Han enter the entertainment industry for a few years, and when the mentality matures, he will return to violin performance, maybe there will be a breakthrough." Many world-class performers don't just do one thing in their lives. ”

Chen Xingye can also see that Chen Wenhan's current mentality is not mature enough.

After thinking about it for a moment, he agreed: "You can break if you want, but the violin must not be put down." ”

Chen Wenhan nodded and agreed: "I know." ”

He has a certain reputation in the entertainment industry, and his character is "Prince of Violin" and "Music Talent".

Every year he attends some TV evenings and plays the violin.

In the current entertainment industry, character design is very important.

Maintain the character of this "violin prince" and develop in the entertainment industry, and the starting point has surpassed that of most stars.

……

After chatting about Chen Wenhan.

Chen Xingye looked at Chen Lipeng again and asked, "What are the company's plans?" If this year's earnings report is still so ugly, the shareholders will not be so easy to talk about. ”

Chen Lipeng thought for a moment and replied: "The results of the last two TV series are not good. So, I thought about getting back to the music track. ”

The Chen family is a musical family, and they made a fortune by investing in the music track from the beginning.

Puxiang Records, Merlin Records, five major record companies, and Chen Jia holds two.

Therefore, the Chen family's investment vision in music is indeed higher than the industry average.

Chen's mother interjected and asked, "Second uncle persuaded Qi Xiuna to release a new album?" ”

Qi Xiuna is the queen of Puxiang Records, and her position in the music world is very important.

When it comes to Qi Xiuna's position, it is actually easy not to release an album.

After all, Qi Xiuna's songs are enough to hold ten concerts in a row, and all the songs she sings are not repeated.

It's just that if Pengcheng Capital wants to rely on Puxiang Records to return to blood, the fastest way is to let the diva release an album.

Just like Tan Zhiguan did last year.

first released a new album, and then took advantage of the situation to launch a national tour and cut him 1 billion.

It's really the fastest way to get back in blood, but once the new album doesn't sell as expected, the results will be embarrassing.

In fact.

The new album released by Tan Zhiguan last year sold well.

It's just that he was pressed down, and the national tour also made money, but it didn't reach the goal of Pengcheng Capital at the beginning.

Of course, Tan Zhiguan was used as a money-making tool, and cutting this money had an impact on his personal reputation.

Especially in the event of buying an album and drawing concert tickets, some netizens later broke out that the probability of drawing tickets was ridiculously low.

These have had a very bad impact on Tan Zhiguan's reputation.

It can be said that Tan Zhiguan is completely used as a money-making tool by Pengcheng Capital, and he doesn't care whether it will affect his future development.

Therefore, when Pengcheng Capital proposed to let Qi Xiuna, the queen of Puxiang, release an album this year, Qi Xiuna decisively refused.

】

There are already lessons to be learned.

Qi Xiuna doesn't want to be used as a money-making tool by Pengcheng Capital.

In her position, feathers are more important than money.

Therefore, Qi Xiuna cherishes her feathers very much, even if she doesn't make money, she doesn't use her reputation and status in the music world to make money.

……

Hearing about Chen's mother mentioning Qi Xiuna's new album.

Chen Lipeng shook his head and replied, "It hasn't been negotiated yet." ”

Chen Xingye didn't ask about this matter, but now when he heard it, he asked: "Why didn't you negotiate?" ”

At this time.

Chen Wenhan tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Do you still need to say it?" Qi Xiuna refused to release a new album. is worried about ending up like Tan Zhiguan. ”

Chen Lipeng's eyes sank and emphasized: "Tan Zhiguan's new album is very well-made, and the annual revenue of this project exceeds 500 million. ”

For capital, making money is justice.

As long as you make money, nothing else matters.

On Tan Zhiguan's new album and national tour, he has made all of it, and he has made a lot of money.

Therefore, when Chen Lipeng mentioned this matter, his tone was very tough.

Chen Wenhan pulled the corners of his mouth and sneered: "It's the first time I've heard that some singers are reluctant to release a new album." ”

The current music scene is sluggish, there are too many singers who can sing, but there are too few who really have the opportunity to release albums.

Moreover, now that new singers release albums, they basically send one and pounce one.

Now that it is the era of drafts and traffic, it is very difficult to become popular just by singing.

Under normal circumstances, if the record company is willing to send an album to the singer, the singer can't ask for it.

However, Pengcheng Capital wanted Puxiang Records to send an album to Qi Xiuna, but Qi Xiuna refused.

Qi Xiuna also saw Tan Zhiguan's situation last year, and guessed that the company wanted to arrange for her to open a national tour to make money.

The money was caught, but Tan Zhiguan's feathers fell a lot.

Chen Lipeng was teased by his nephew, but he had no way to defend himself, so he could only endure this anger.

There was a moment of silence at the table.

Chen's mother opened her mouth and asked, "I remember that Qi Xiuna's contract will expire next year, has the renewal of the contract been negotiated?" ”

When Chen Lipeng heard this, his expression froze again.

Qi Xiuna is the queen of Puxiang Records.

One of the important reasons why Puxiang Records can sit firmly in the position of the three major record companies is that Qi Xiuna is in charge.

Qi Xiuna's contract expires in February next year, and there is only half a year left.

Generally speaking, singers like Qi Xiuna negotiate contract renewal half a year in advance, or even a year in advance.

When this topic was raised, Chen Lipeng could only answer: "It's still talking." ”

Chen's mother continued: "I heard some rumors that Qi Xiuna didn't want to renew the contract. ”

When he said this, Chen Xingye's expression sank.

Qi Xiuna is the face of Puxiang Records, and if the contract renewal fails, the status of Puxiang Records in the music world will drop a lot.

At that time, the valuation of Puxiang Records also plummeted.

As a holding company, the valuation of Pengcheng Capital will also dive.

Originally, Pengcheng Capital has been losing money for two consecutive years, and if the company's valuation dives because of Qi Xiuna's contract renewal problem, the shareholders will not be able to hold it down.

"To be honest, how is Qi Xiuna's contract renewal?" Chen Xingye asked in a serious tone.

Chen Lipeng was very helpless, and replied stubbornly: "The progress is not ideal, Qi Xiuna did not explicitly refuse, but she did not agree to renew the contract." ”

Chen Wenhan joked: "Isn't this just not wanting to renew the contract?" If you want to renew your contract, it's time to put it on the terms. ”

A singer with a status like Qi Xiuna, when she renews her contract, she will definitely make a request.

For example, signing fees, company resources, etc., can be discussed.

If you don't ask for anything, it's actually a signal that you don't want to renew your contract.

Chen Lipeng took a deep breath and explained: "At the beginning, I discussed with the senior management of Puxiang and renewed the contract with Qi Xiuna on the condition of investing in a new album. It's just that she has no interest in releasing a new album. ”

If Qi Xiuna wants to release a new album, the quality of the album must be very demanding.

Chen Lipeng promised to invite the industry's top producers and production teams to create a new album for Qi Xiuna.

even made it clear that Qi Xiuna could name the top producers in China, and then the company would be responsible for inviting them.

These conditions, if placed on other first-line singers, have a huge attraction.

It's just that Qi Xiuna saw Tan Zhiguan's situation last year, so she didn't consider releasing a new album, so it became difficult to renew the contract.

Chen Xingye asked, "You didn't inquire about the news from the people around Qi Xiuna?" ”

Chen Lipeng replied: "After inquiring, Qi Xiuna wants to go out independently, open a brokerage company, and be responsible for operating her own brokerage contract." If you can't renew the contract, you can still maintain a deep cooperative relationship. ”

In fact, when the status of celebrities reaches a certain height, they will slowly become independent and maintain a deep cooperative relationship with the original brokerage company.

This is a very common thing in the industry.

It's just that without Qi Xiuna, the queen of power, Puxiang Records will definitely decline in the music world.

"And what are you going to do?" Chen Xingye asked in a deep voice.

"If a record company wants to grow, it still has to rely on promoting new talents. The king and queen of heaven agreed to renew the contract, and the signing fee was also astronomical. Therefore, I have already thought about arranging newcomers from Puxiang Records and Rhett Film and Television to participate in the talent show cooperated by Pea Video and Chaoyin Culture. Chen Lipeng said the planned project.

He glanced at Chen Xingye, his gaze swept over Chen Wenhan again, and then said, "In addition, I plan to let Wenhan also participate in this talent show?" ”

Chen Wenhan's eyes were cold, and he said, "What? Let me go to this low-level talent show? ”

Chen Xingye explained: "It's not about being a player, it's about being a mentor. In a talent show like this, the mentor is the easiest to become popular. ”

When Chen Wenhan heard this plan, his eyes showed interest, and he said: "If this is the case, then we invest in this project, and I want to get the right to speak in this talent show, and the show has to follow my ideas." ”
