Chapter 176: "Tomorrow's Son", Talent Defeats Capital?
"I accept this condition, but Lin Shu ...... here"
Lin Ruxue didn't have time to finish speaking, Tang Hao immediately put forward the conditions that he had thought of early in the morning.
"We will give 10% of the profits of "Tomorrow's Son" to Lin Shu, and your company has the right of first refusal for other artists who debut."
Prescribing such conditions is the result of Tang Hao's careful consideration.
Compared with the preparation of the follow-up program of "Tomorrow's Son", ten percent is nothing.
What's more, this incident is itself their internal reason.
As for the right of first choice, it is not very important.
In the show "Creation 101", although Yang Mengyue is not ranked very high, her traffic is much more terrifying than the top two.
Yang Mengyue herself is a "cross-era" trainee, even if Tang Hao wants to, Lin Ruxue can't let it go.
And "Idol Trainee" is even more outrageous, the top three trainees are all "cross-era" people.
Do they still have a choice?
As for "Tomorrow's Son", what they got was the platform distribution share after the player's debut, and they themselves did not have the right to choose, so they did not need to think about it.
It is equivalent to that they only paid ten percent to sell Lin Shu a face.
However, "cross-era" still took advantage, after all, there were a total of 20 artists who debuted in the two shows, "Idol Trainee" and "Creation 101".
With the current momentum, and the way the two companies are working together.
In the end, there were only six penguins.
Surrender three places...... It's a blood loss!
Tang Hao decided that when the matter here is resolved, he must go back and open the manager who proposed to add virtual idols.
If he hadn't been careless, how could there have been such a bad thing.
"I'll contact Lin Shu later, I think he should be quite satisfied with this decision."
Although Lin Ruxue's tone was very calm, the smile on the corner of her mouth still betrayed the truest thoughts in her heart.
After everything was settled, several people left the restaurant.
After returning to the company, Tang Hao immediately asked people to deal with the black material of the show as soon as possible, and then gave the manager who proposed the virtual idol all over the place.
And Lin Ruxue also conveyed all the details of the negotiation to Lin Shu word for word.
In the hours that followed, the penguins unleashed their operational prowess.
The official of the program team first apologized to the mentor, students, and Lin Shu on the blog, and gave a large amount of compensation offline, and then released Lin Shu's original plan.
Of course!
They have not forgotten the results of the handling of the main responsible persons.
After this series of operations, the shady thing finally has a more perfect ending.
Several well-known student fans of "Tomorrow's Son" also apologized to Lin Shu after learning about the whole story.
There are even many people who thank Lin Shu for speaking out in the comment area below.
After the black material of the show was dealt with, Lin Shu finally let out a long breath.
But at the same time, he noticed some of the statements of Mao Buyi's fans.
"Teacher Lin Shu, do you think Mao Buyi is likely to win the championship?"
"Although Mao Mao is very powerful, there is still a gap between his fame and the top two."
"People Like Me", "Feel Like a Superstar", "Eliminate Sorrows", ...... Every one of them is a classic, and if I can't win the championship, I really can't get it. ”
"One cup of freedom, one cup of death, forgive my ordinariness, and dispel confusion. Mao Mao is simply a dimensionality reduction blow. ”
……
Looking at the comments of Mao Buyi's fans, Lin Shu frowned slightly.
It stands to reason that with the popularity of "Dispel Sorrow", Mao Buyi's reputation should not be lower than that of other players.
Why is it not as famous as other players.
With this doubt, Lin Shu asked Tang Hao for the real data of the show.
After reading all the data, he finally understood why the gap between the three was so large.
The number of votes for the contestants of "Tomorrow's Son" cannot be as good as that of "Idol Trainee".
But that doesn't mean there is no way to do it.
At least Penguin's internal data shows that Mao Buyi's real votes are higher than the two of them.
But...... The truth is, the end result is not as good as the other players.
Thinking of the family backgrounds of the other two players, Lin Shu had some guesses in his heart.
Mao Buyi is a person who was born ordinary, and it is precisely because of his ordinary birth that he can write such resonant songs.
His family wasn't particularly good.
has been able to get to this point, in addition to the love of a mentor in the show, there are also many silent support from the audience.
And the other two trainees ...... Every family has hundreds of millions of assets, and with a little operation, the gap between them is enough to be daunting.
However, it should not be wiped out because people use their family connections.
After all, people have the current wealth, and their parents have worked hard.
Moreover, there is nothing inherently wrong with the rational application of the rules.
After a period of silence, Lin Shu sent a message to Lin Ruxue.
"Wool cloth is worth the investment!"
The content of the news is not much, but with Lin Ruxue's judgment, he should be able to understand his thoughts.
In fact, there is a relatively simple way for Mao Buyi to win the championship of "Tomorrow's Son".
Just let the penguins release the real numbers on Champions Night.
But there's a downside to doing that.
The contestants who participated in the show in the later seasons may not be willing to spend money.
All things considered, it's better to let the company come forward.
The contestants who are now participating in "Tomorrow's Son" are basically amateurs, and there is no entertainment company behind them.
They can use their family connections to swipe tickets, and they don't panic at all if they have a big business across the ages.
Moreover, the show itself is produced "across the ages" with penguins, and there is a profit sharing in the end.
A classic line suddenly popped up in Lin Shu's mind: "The gentry will return the number." The common people divide the accounts. ”
"It's not...... My idea seems to be wrong, why should I think about it for the capital! ”
Lin Shu silently reviewed in his heart.
When he was still a group performer in Hengdian, he was cynical and couldn't wait for capital to die!
But when he stood at a certain height, he realized that he was ...... I'm a layman myself.
Lin Ruxue, who received Lin Shu's news, was slightly surprised for a moment and understood what he meant.
After a moment of contemplation, she picked up the phone that was placed on the table.
If Lin Shu hadn't come up with these three programs, she might have hesitated about Lin Shu's opinion.
But now......
She felt that she just needed to do what Lin Shu said.
When "Idol Trainee" and "Creation 101" began to be recorded, Lin Shu briefly told her about several trainees who were optimistic.
As Lin Shu expected, Xu Beikun, Lin Yan, Li Xiu, and Yang Mengyue ...... has attracted countless fans on the show.
This alone is enough to prove Lin Shu's vision.
Since he thinks that Mao Buyi is worth the investment, it will not disappoint in the end.
It's just that...... Who is the boss of "cross-generation"!
After silently complaining in her heart, Lin Ruxue didn't know what she thought, and suddenly showed a smile.
It's a pity that no one appreciates such a beautiful picture.
Under Lin Ruxue's arrangement, "Cross-Era" began to operate.
In the last few episodes of the "Tomorrow's Son" program, Mao Buyi's ranking has gradually climbed.
Although it is said that it uses the ability of "money", it does not directly surpass the other two players, but the gap is constantly narrowing.
The other side!
Seeing that Mao Buyi had caught up, the two players who stayed above him were a little panicked.
"What's going on? Why did Maomao's popularity rise so fast? ”
"I don't know, do you want to rush it?"
"Do you think that without throwing money at it, Maomao's popularity may surpass ours?"
"You mean ......"
"Most probably, it can only be said that Mao Mao was lucky and was favored by them, and I called home last night, and the family also vaguely expressed this idea."
"Good! No wonder I saw that you were absent-minded when you recorded the show recently, it turned out that you already knew the inside story! ”
"It's okay, but the other party promised to sign us in and give us the treatment of second-tier artists, provided that we participate in the next season of "Idol Trainee".
"That's not bad, it looks...... I should have planned for the future! ”
"Indeed, you can consider our company!"
"You haven't signed a contract with your company, do you still want to be embarrassed?"
"I'd love to!"
After the two whispered, they didn't get too entangled.
Although it is unlikely that the money invested before will be returned, it is not bad to get a superior artist contract.
After all, with resources, it's still easy to make millions.
Time passes slowly!
With the tacit cooperation of several parties, the votes of "Tomorrow's Son" gradually returned to normal.
Mid-January!
"Tomorrow's Son" was completely recorded.
Penguin Video was the first to actively promote the final champion night.
"Tomorrow's Son" has a shorter recording time than the other two variety shows.
In order to divert the traffic, Penguin and "Cross Era" discussed and decided to bring forward the "Night of Champions".
"The champion must be Maomao, there shouldn't be any more shady scenes this time!"
"It shouldn't be, if you really do it again, this show should be cool!"
"Superstar Mao Buyi!"
……
Under the expectation of countless fans of Mao Buyi, the final champion night of the show went on as scheduled.
The song "Midsummer" is over!
The host took the microphone and shouted excitedly:
"I heard heaven and earth in his "Borrowing", I heard sentient beings in his "Dispel Sorrows", and I heard myself in his "People Like Me".
Standing on the stage of the son of tomorrow, Mao Buyi realized not his music dream alone, but the heroic dream of all ordinary people.
If you don't meet the sunset, how can you possibly see the next dawn.
This winter, the highest honor, we congratulate...... Wool cloth easy! ”
The flying streamers fell, but Mao Buyi in the lens was a little at a loss.
For a moment, he seemed to be a little carried away by this surprise.
As the host said, Mao Buyi is not his dream alone.
Under the Penguin video platform, all viewers are sincerely wishing him a champion.
"What is a superstar? From the complexity of reality, he can extract a sober heart, he is Mao Buyi! ”
"An unknown person like me, will anyone feel distressed!"
"Thank you for your humble discernment!"
"Talent will eventually triumph over capital!"
"Mao Buyi has been able to come so far, I really want to thank Qianqian!"
When netizens sighed, the host's voice sounded again.
"We have invited the Chief Star Promotion Officer Qianqian, and Ms. Wang Xi, Vice President of Penguin Films, to present the platinum record to Mao Buyi.
Our stage rises slowly, symbolizing the platinum record of this winter's highest honor.
Congratulations to the superstar Mao Buyi! ”
Taking the elevator, Wang Xi slowly appeared in everyone's sight, with a signature smile on his face.
And Mao Buyi, who was standing in the center of the stage, was a little excited.
After holding the microphone and thanking everyone for winning the championship, "Tomorrow's Son", which has accompanied everyone for several months, has officially come to an end.
But the follow-up heat of Mao Buyi's championship has just begun.
In a very short period of time, the news of winning the championship was on the hot search.
There are even many people who forward the photos of the Night of Champions with Mao Buyi's lyrics to the circle of friends.
Countless netizens cheered, this year, talent defeated capital.
But only a few people know that it is not so much that talent defeats capital, but that capital chooses talent.
Especially the two players who won the second and third places, I felt the deepest in my heart.
When countless people were carnivaling, Mao Buyi at this time was already sitting in the "cross-era" headquarters.
And across from him was Lin Shu's agent Chen Manni.
By the time they entered the show, all the contestants had already signed their contracts.
As long as the "cross-era" does not let go, there is a high probability that they can be signed.
Before Mao Buyi came here, he also had a brief understanding of the contracts of major companies.
But what surprised him a little was that "Cross Era" actually gave a contract for a second-tier singer.
Even if he knows that with his current popularity, as long as he releases a record, he will soon be able to reach the standard of a second-tier singer.
But at least not yet.
What's more, the "cross-era" contract seems to be a little different from what I understand.
This clause is placed in other companies, it has to be a contract for first-line artists!
"Sister Chen, before I came to the company, I heard from other contestants......"
Chen Manni smiled: "That's the case, what about our company......"
Under Chen Manni's detailed explanation, Mao Buyi probably knew what was going on.
After some consideration, he did not hesitate to sign his name on the contract.
"Congratulations, you have officially become a "cross-generational" artist, you can choose your agent before introducing you to the company, and I will take you there now. ”
"Okay!"
Mao Buyi nodded in a sinister manner, but then he suddenly spoke: "Sister Chen, are you also an agent?" ”
"Of course, you should know Lin Shu! I'm his agent! ”
"You are Lin Shu's agent!" A scorching light shone in Mao Buyi's eyes.
"yes...... Is there anything wrong with this? ”
Chen Manni looked at him with some puzzlement.
The kid was shocked, and it seemed that his nerves were a little big!
"Then can I choose you as my agent?"
"Uh...... Yes, yes, but ......"
"Then sign now!" Wool cloth is easy to impatient.
Although she didn't understand his attitude a little, Chen Manni still nodded and agreed.
Now Lin Shu's work is arranged, and there is a team in management.
She could have made time to bring someone new.
Especially like Mao Buyi, it is estimated that there is no agent who is not impressed!
But what she didn't know was that Mao Buyi chose her because of Lin Shu.
After the show!
From his humble mouth, he knew more about the inside story of the show.
He always thought that he won the championship, and he really defeated capital with talent as the outside world said.
But after a lot of understanding, I realized that it was not like that.
There are people who escort him.
And according to the people on the penguin's side, that person is Lin Shu!
