Chen Minhao was very happy when he received Zheng Ming's call in the morning. He originally thought there were some tough battles to be fought, but he didn't expect Zhang Jianzhang to nod his agreement so easily.
Chen Minhao and Kang Hui went to Zhang Jianzhang's office to communicate that morning and agreed on the details of the operation: Zhang Jianzhang would complete the field in March, and Chen Minhao and Zhang Jianzhang would terminate the original brokerage contract with Shenmeng in early April and Sign a new contract.
Zhang Jianzhang repeatedly reminded Chen Minhao and Kang Hui to keep the details of the new contract strictly confidential.
Chen Minhao and Kang Hui reassured Zhang Jianzhang again and again.
In the afternoon of that day, Chen Minhao and Kang Hui called Wu Xiaoshuang and Su Yan, the core members of the studio, to their home.
Chen Minhao looked at the two core members of his studio, cleared his throat, and said:
"Today, I want to announce something."
All eyes were focused on Chen Minhao. He smiled and said: "After many negotiations with Zhang Jianzhang, CEO of Shenmeng Agency, we have reached an agreement that Shenmeng and I will terminate the original agency contract in advance in April this year. .”
Although Wu Xiaoshuang and Su Yan had some speculations before, they were very excited and started to applaud after hearing the definite news.
Chen Minhao smiled and added:
"I will start school tomorrow. You two are the core backbone and members of the studio. I would like to discuss with you the main work this year.
"The core work in the first half of this year will definitely be organizing concerts. Sister Kang, please briefly introduce the current situation."
Kang Hui nodded and said: "First of all, everyone has seen the concert, but they may not understand how a concert is started from scratch, so let me briefly introduce the process of organizing a concert.
“Generally speaking, when a singer holds a concert, he needs to find an organization interested in taking over the concert.
"Then these institutions will communicate with us about the specific details, such as fees, venues, ticket prices, etc. They will also calculate the overall cost, judge whether they can make a profit in the end, and finally consider whether to take over the deal."
Wu Xiaoshuang and Su Yan coincidentally took out their notebooks and started recording.
Kang Hui continued: "If the organization is willing to take over the deal and we are satisfied with its terms, then we will enter the specific preparation stage, determining the time, location, repertoire of performances, rehearsals, etc.
"During the preparation process, the publicity work cannot be left behind. I will discuss the details of the publicity with you two later. Do you have any questions about the overall process now?"
Wu Xiaoshuang asked: "What if no organization is willing to take over?"
Su Yan was stunned for a moment and said hesitantly: "Chen Minhao is not so miserable. He should still be very influential in the Chinese music scene."
Chen Minhao said: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, because there is a concert coming soon, so I also deliberately learned about relevant information. For new singers in the past two years, everyone's first concert seems not to go well.
"Popularity is one thing, but concerts still value real money. For organizations that organize concerts, it is better to recruit 'concert evergreens' than to recruit some new singers."
Wu Xiaoshuang asked in confusion: "But if we accept some newcomers' concerts, they must establish a good relationship with this newcomer, so that they can have a steady stream of work in the future."
Chen Minhao shook his head and said: "This is your wishful thinking. For such an organization, they would rather make less money than take the risk of losing money. Especially now that some young talents hold concerts, and the total box office is very high." Low.
"Just like Wu Ruifei, I heard from people in the industry that he held a concert in July last year. He chose a small venue, but in the end he didn't even get back half of the money."
Wu Xiaoshuang said in surprise: "Are you sure about this news? I remember what his press release last year seemed to say, that his concert attendance rate was 100% and so on. At that time, there were many of his fans who came to admire you. It is said that Wu Ruifei is the best singer of the new generation.
"However, after your album came out, your fans went crazy on Wu Ruifei's Weibo. In the end, it was me and a few fans who called it quits."
Chen Minhao said directly: "This news is very certain. In fact, many people confuse the two concepts of box office and attendance rate, thinking that if the attendance rate is high, the box office will be high, but this is not the case.
“The box office is real money. It is the box office that best reflects a singer’s market appeal, and attendance is very important. For example, organizers give away tickets, sponsors reserve the venue, and fans receive tickets as welfare, etc., which can all lead to a boom in attendance. .”
Chen Minhao paused and said: "However, the organizer only cares about the box office and not the attendance rate. However, many celebrities like to hype up the attendance rate. When taking photos for concert promotions, they specifically take photos of crowded places."
Wu Xiaoshuang nodded, but her thoughts drifted to other places:
(⊙v⊙) If Wu Ruifei’s fans come back again in the future, they will use this incident to trample their idol to death.
Seeing that Wu Xiaoshuang had no doubts, Chen Minhao continued to return to the theme: "One of the focuses of my development this year is internationalization. Do you have any good ideas about this?"
Su Yan said: "You can choose to participate in some overseas variety shows. If you can appear on top overseas variety shows such as "The Darren Show", it will be a great help to your influence overseas. Of course, a star still relies on his works in the final analysis. Talk. If you could star in a Hollywood movie or release an album that's famous overseas, the problem would be solved."
Wu Xiaoshuang thought for a while and said: "I think we can set a small goal first, such as having some interactions with popular European and American stars on Twitter. If you are very popular on Twitter, your future album will be released overseas. Or getting a chance to star in a Hollywood movie would help. I also think."
Before Wu Xiaoshuang finished speaking, her cell phone rang. After one look, she hung up and continued:
"In addition, I also think you can enter the overseas market through the fashion industry. After all, with your appearance, it would be a waste not to take advantage of this."
Just as Chen Minhao was about to speak, Kang Hui's phone rang. Kang Hui saw that it was Wu Xiaoshuang's assistant Wan Qian calling.
Kang thought about it for a moment and finally picked up.
Wan Qian's roaring voice came from the words: "Sister Kang, hurry up and let Sister Xiaoshuang read Twitter."
Wan Qian's voice was loud. Although Kang Hui didn't turn on the speakerphone, Wu Xiaoshuang had already heard it.
Wu Xiaoshuang immediately took out her phone and opened Twitter.
She raised her head and said, "It seems that one of our small goals has been achieved. Rachel, a female singer from the United States, posted a message about "See You Again" on Twitter."
Kang Hui said in surprise: "Is it the Rachel I thought about?"
Wu Xiaoshuang smiled and said, "That's the Rachel you think of."
Rachel is one of the top female singers in the United States and is good at creating pop music and country music.
Several people in the room eagerly crowded together to read the content on Twitter.
"Everyone knows that I read fan letters from time to time. Today I actually saw a fan praising a song at the end of the letter and suggesting that I listen to it. Frankly speaking, I was very angry.
I listened to this song with a critical attitude. Well, to be honest, after listening to it, I forgive this fan, "See You Again" is indeed a good song. But please don't do this again in the future, I will be jealous. "
