Chapter 394 Corporate Affairs

In fact, compared to the last time the promotion of "The Secret I Can't Say", Wang Chuan's promotional journey this time was relatively easy.

Wang Chuan basically symbolically participates in one or two games and can rest and deal with his own affairs.

Although Lu Ang complains again, it is also true that Wang Chuan is much busier than him, and the main force of publicity is him and Zhou Qian, the "mother and son".

"I have listened to all the works. There are indeed many good talents in it, and I also like a few songs. If I want to broadcast it on the platform, I will definitely not be there every issue at that time, and I should be able to enter the first and last issue. I wonder if there will be any conflict with "La La Land". I will let Tang Ruojing communicate with you about the specific itinerary. Anyway, I can attend at least two issues."

Wang Chuan talked with Li Hongyang on the other side of the video.

The two were talking about the Shengru Xiahua Original Musician Competition. After half a year of efforts by Shanhai Music, all the registered participants have undergone preliminary screening and have reorganized some not-very mature works, and auditions are about to be held.

The original idea of ​​this competition is just like many large record companies or music platforms to discover new singers. It is organized offline and ended quietly. After the competition is over, most people have never cared about the existence of such competitions. They will only look through the resume of the other party when they occasionally find a good new singer and find that they have participated in a certain competition.

However, after Wang Chuan decided to donate "Blue and White Porcelain" to Shengru Xiahua last year, the sharp increase in budget and the ability to take advantage of the huge traffic that Wang Chuan himself has, Shanhai Music has redesigned it internally.

Shanhai Music hopes that this competition can get a certain amount of attention online, and it is best to completely hype the popularity of the event, and try to operate Shengru Xiahua's tour brand after the event, so that Shengru Xiahua can first achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency, rather than relying entirely on the income of a song donated by Wang Chuan every year.

This is not to say that Wang Chuan cannot afford it. This kind of self-sufficiency is also reflected in giving musicians participating in this event a platform that can display to the outside world - online traffic attention and offline performance monetization, because what the Chinese music market lacks the most is the platform that allows ordinary fans to pay attention to new singers and new music.

——Douyin is indeed invincible in the spread of music popularization, but those that can be popular in Douyin are all music with similar styles, and some relatively niche music cannot be spread on it.

Moreover, after making this event bigger, in addition to the expectations of tour, Wang Chuan also wants to rely on him to make an award specially awarded to new musicians with relatively valuable value in the Chinese music market. However, that should be many years later, and we will also work with other companies and platforms at that time.

Therefore, the attention this event can attract at the beginning is crucial. It cannot be held according to ordinary competitions, but must be operated in the model of variety shows.

After the release of "Blue and White Porcelain" last year and the start of the competition was announced, Wang Chuan had a personal Weibo with over 100 million fans - this is admitted that most of them were bought. After recommending Park Seki's "Close", it almost became the official promotional Weibo of the Shengru Xiahua Competition. In just a few days, some songs of the participating musicians were recommended by Wang Chuan, and they brought the hashtag #Shengru Xiahua Competition# to promote it.

So much so that Wang Chuan’s Weibo has attracted the attention of a large number of fans who want to play songs, which has set a good start for the promotion of the event.

——After all, Wang Chuan’s Weibo is not like other traffic, and he posts some weird texts and photos on a daily basis, and at most, Wang Chuan occasionally posts one or two Weibo posts that are not meaningful but rather confusing.

Moreover, Wang Chuan's huge fan base has also contributed a lot of effort to the event traffic because of its unified internal guidance.

This has successfully attracted the interest of sponsors and several video platforms.

Among them, a domestic dairy leader who has been signing contracts with Wang Chuan for many years and has a very harmonious cooperative relationship has agreed to provide naming fees for the event itself. The specific amount depends on how often Wang Chuan can play, and how many big-name singers Shanhai will bring to this event as judges.

Several video platforms are also paying attention to this.

Penguin Music and Yun Music are also very interested in this event, but the question is whether there will be any conflict with the copyright agreement sold to Penguin Music. Because after deciding to increase the specifications of the Shengru Xiahua plan last year, Shanhai Music independently set it up and established the Midsummer Music under Shanhai Entertainment, replacing the original Shengru Xiahua brand, although Li Hongyang is still in charge for the time being.

If there is no conflict, Yun Music is willing to provide Shengru Xiahua with a separate list to help with the operation in the app, while Penguin Music is not willing to provide it for the time being because they have a list that specializes in cultivating newcomers for themselves. They told Shengru Xiahua that if they want to give Shengru Xiahua a separate list, Penguin Music must play a more important role in events and even in summer entertainment.

However, in fact, we will eventually cooperate with Penguin Music. Yun Music is just a tool for Shanhai Entertainment to find negotiations.

Last year, when Shanhai Music was stripping away midsummer music, it was forcibly carried out against Penguin Music and Global Music. In order to make the resolution possible, Shanhai Entertainment made a promise to Penguin and Global so that they could have a certain degree of preferential treatment in the financing of Midsummer Entertainment. Moreover, Shanhai Music will soon release financing again and give them more shares at that time.

At present, the negotiations are temporarily stalemate. Penguin and the World need too much, and Shanhai don’t want to give so much.

Wang Chuan did not participate in the decision-making in these matters, but only required the bottom line of keeping the mountain and sea music firmly in his hands.

So no one from Penguin or the Global Times came to bother Wang Chuan about these things. Wang Chuan was still able to concentrate on his personal affairs, but occasionally communicated with Li Hongyang to get new situations.

"Okay." Li Hongyang nodded, "Tan Xinming intends to do this competition with us. After I communicated with him, I feel that his thinking is pretty good. I have sent the planning proposal to your email address. It is best to settle it in the next two days."

"OK."

Wang Chuan agreed.

"There are also several planning proposals we have prepared. Here are about a dozen ideas. After reading them, you can select four or five of them and we can contact us for operations first. But there is no hurry to do this, just reply to me before the end of the month."

Li Hongyang said again.

"good."

Wang Chuan agreed again.

What Li Hongyang said is that Shanhai Music is preparing to contact some well-known domestic singers and cooperate to attract the attention of domestic music fans, and it is also an active music market environment.

Of course, I want to gradually increase the influence of Shanhai Music in the domestic market, that is, the popularity of gangsters.

The small variety show studio of Shanhai Entertainment once proposed that writing songs for some special people in society is among them.

Wang Chuan heard that there were some people who wanted to do messy themes, such as mainstream singers singing two-dimensional style songs, science fiction themes, and more interested in national treasure themes after a harmonious cooperation with the Palace Museum, or special male and female duet themes...

This kind of planning is difficult or simple, it depends on the connections and resources in the circle, whether others give you face, and how much attention you can get after participating.

And if Wang Chuan is now preparing to take the lead in leading domestic singers to play, it is better to stick to it.

Wang Chuan wanted to play like this because he was bothered by publishing albums every day to edit stories, and many of his favorite songs could not be compiled...

According to Li Hongyang's meaning, this can also be done as a variety show. If you have ten million people watching it, just posting songs will be at most one million people listen to it. One theme will be filmed every year for one season, and you can also call it "Wang Chuan and His Friends".

It feels like giving Wang Chuan the status of a leading brother in the domestic music market... The feeling of a leader and a leading brother is different. Wang Chuan is now a completely undisputed leader in the Chinese music scene.

After hanging up Li Hongyang's call, Wang Chuan and Pan Linghai connected the video again.

What Wang Chuan wants to talk to her about Shanhai Entertainment’s restructuring plan and the company’s subsequent development strategy.

Shanhai Entertainment has decided to carry out a second financing as early as the end of this year, which is also one of the purposes of the restructuring, giving potential investors a further clarity on the company's development direction and clearing out possible business barriers after financing in advance.

The core of the restructuring plan is to set up separate companies to operate the two most important businesses of Shanhai Entertainment, namely film and television production and artist brokerage. As a group company, Shanhai Entertainment has five subsidiaries, namely N+1, Shanhai Film and Television, Shanhai Brokerage, Shanhai Music, and Shengxia Music. They are no longer responsible for specific operations and only make strategic decisions.

Among them, the film and television production business is the core of the core. The preliminary plan is that Shanhai Film and Television, as a large film and television production company, conducts studio operations in special production business. Each studio is responsible for producing special genre films, urban, ancient puppets, science fiction, suspense, etc., which is somewhat similar to the label of a record company.

Although with the strength of Shanhai Film and Television, which can be raised now, we can only barely set up three studios first, and if the management is done properly, it will gradually increase.

After the reorganization, the CEO of Shanhai Entertainment is still Pan Linghai, who also serves as the general manager of Shanhai Film and Television. Chen Lan is the general manager of Shanhai Brokerage and the deputy general manager of Shanhai Film and Television. He is also the deputy CEO and vice chairman.

Wang Chuan has communicated with Pan Linghai and Chen Lan in the general framework, but Pan Linghai still needs to have a serious discussion with Wang Chuan on the specific details and personnel arrangements.

After all, after this reorganization, the original senior management has increased their power, so people must be cautious in hiring.

Wang Chuan brought Chen Lan back to the mountains and seas in advance and postponed the reorganization that was originally carried out at the beginning of the year to the middle of the year, in order to first let Chen Lan find out the situation within the company that has been operated by Pan Linghai for many years and identify who is truly available.

Pan Linghai knew the real role Chen Lan played in Shanhai. The position setting after this reorganization, especially Chen Lan’s identity as vice chairman, should also make Pan Linghai uncomfortable.

However, Pan Linghai did not show this discomfort and did not give any comments on Wang Chuan's proposal. She was like the most ideal professional manager. If she did not have fatal problems, Wang Chuan would have kept her in the position of CEO until she wanted to retire or wanted to start her own career.

After the call with Pan Linghai, Wang Chuan took a break and got on the bus to the airport.

"Riding the Wind and Waves" has won a terrifying box office of 3.4 billion in five days. Although theaters will reduce their screening share in the future, and with the resumption of work after the holiday, the box office will drop a lot, but it is getting closer to the industry's forecast of 6 billion box office.

Although on the rating website, "Riding the Wind and Waves" finally fell by 7.0 rating mark and fell by 6.8, more and more people believe that this film is not worthy of the domestic historical box office champion, its box office trend is still very stable.

Wang Chuan can also go to America with greater confidence.

This time, Wang Chuan mainly continued to cooperate with Yin Lis in the promotion of "SYT" and participated in the relevant preparations for "La La Land", which was generally much easier than last time.

As for the upcoming nomination for the Oscars ceremony, it is the thing Ruan Qiushui is most concerned about. Wang Chuan, the best screenwriter in Cannes, has not been favored by Hollywood.

When getting off the plane, it was still Ruan Qiushui who came to pick it up.

After returning to the villa, Ruan Qiushui lay on Wang Chuan's chest with satisfaction and recovered his strength. Wang Chuan was also waiting for her to continue the battle, and then he heard Ruan Qiushui ask lazily.

"How far have you and her?"

Wang Chuan picked her up and kissed her.

"That's it."

“What is this.”

Ruan Qiushui continued to ask in Wang Chuan's ear.

"That's it." Wang Chuan kissed her forehead again, "I haven't done anything else yet."

"...Yang Xuezhi wasn't so polite at that time." Ruan Qiushui's words were a little sour, "I seemed even more rude at that time."

"Forehead……"

Wang Chuan thought about it and it seemed to be true.

They all fell asleep just after kissing. Yang Xuezhi had been together for a long time, and Ruan Qiushui really kissed her to bed...

"This means you like me the most."

Wang Chuan said softly with a thick face.

“…”

Ruan Qiushui was speechless.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Wang Chuan spoke by himself.

"Let's have a baby."

“…Not born.”

Ruan Qiushui expressed his rejection.

"The main reason is that Huang Ci'en wants to have a baby with me. I think it's better for your husband."

"That's not right," Ruan Qiushui said angrily, "I don't want to be a mother. If you want to give birth, you can give birth. It's better to be a little more pure by myself. Um~"

After a while.

"What else do you do besides blocking my mouth..."

Ruan Qiushui said with hatred and angry.

"sorry."

Wang Chuan looked at Ruan Qiushui's red eyes.

"You don't have to be sorry."

Ruan Qiushui frowned, probably because she was trying to control herself from crying.

Her eyes seemed to be forcing her to look at Wang Chuan.

"Only I can say sorry to myself. You don't have to say sorry to me if you find another hundred more, do you know?"
