The total number of downloads of Xiao Xuan's "Initial Dream": 24.78 million.
The total number of downloads of Zhao Tianwang's "Young and Not Frustrated": 24.51 million.
A small difference of more than 200,000.
But at this moment,
This 200,000 yuan was a suffocation in Qian Tong's heart, making him dizzy and breathless.
The conference room was extremely quiet.
No one spoke.
They all thought they were sure to win the first place, but they didn't expect to be overtaken in the end. Some people felt it was incredible and were amazed; others were gloating about their misfortune.
From then on, life in the music department became even more difficult.
On the main position,
The chairman glanced at Qian Tong, his face expressionless.
He didn't speak, and no one else dared to speak.
After a long time,
The chairman said: "Play the new song that ranks first and let me hear where we are."
The assistant hurriedly clicked play.
The prelude of "First Dream" sounded.
immediately,
Xiao Xuan's clear and melodious voice reached the ears. Many people began to shake their legs to the rhythm and hummed softly.
Qian Tong also liked this song before.
Suffice it to say, this song is really catchy.
at least,
In terms of rhythm, it is a rare masterpiece!
The chairman narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew music very well, and he naturally understood the secret of the whole song. Although the singer's skills were solid, the biggest highlight was the lyrics and music.
The person who wrote the lyrics and composed the music is very talented.
When did Xingyu Entertainment produce such an ace musician?
Four minutes later,
The song ends slowly.
The conference room became quiet again.
Zhao Ping was the first to speak: "Chairman, deputy directors, it was my dereliction of duty this time that caused losses to the company."
The matter has come to this, and I have to admit it even though I gritted my teeth.
Qian Tong had the same idea and immediately followed Zhao Ping's words: "I should bear the main responsibility. No matter how the company punishes me, I will not complain."
Qian Tong's current idea is to quickly take the blame.
Try not to implicate Zhao Ping!
Zhao Ping is the deputy general manager, and he takes all the blame. He may have a chance to be reused in the future, but if Zhao Ping is implicated, he will really pack up and leave.
really.
Zhao Ping glanced at Qian Tong without leaving any trace, and finally there was a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.
On the main position,
The chairman still didn't speak.
No one can guess what the chairman is thinking.
After a few more minutes,
The chairman pointed to the white projection screen and said, "Play our song too."
The assistant continues the operation.
After another four minutes, subtle noises finally sounded in the conference room, and low whispers reached Qian Tong's ears.
"Our songs are not bad either!"
"Yes, and this song is written and composed by Fang Shu and sung by Zhao Chuanming. In terms of traffic, it should be better than the other song."
"There is no difference in quality between the two songs."
...
There is no difference in quality.
But being overtaken by others to reach the top shows that you have never fought hard for fans or traffic behind the scenes.
But the problem is,
Our side is Zhao Chuanming’s prescription book!
How could two top celebrities not be able to compete with a little diva?
It’s unscientific!
at this time,
The chairman finally set his sights on Qian Tong and said in an unhurried voice: "I took the time to take a look yesterday during the day. We have always been number one. Why were we suddenly overtaken by others?"
It's obvious that the chairman is beginning to hold himself accountable.
But Qian Tong didn’t know.
He had no idea what had happened in those few hours last night.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Or is it that, as the music director, you don't pay attention to this matter at all and plan to perfunctory it?"
Hearing the words,
Qian Tong's face was extremely nervous, and he looked flustered when he spoke: "That's not the case, Chairman, it's because..."
"Because of......"
He couldn't tell why.
see the situation,
The chairman snorted coldly.
Zhao Ping sighed in his heart. Strictly speaking, Qian Tong cannot be blamed for this incident.
After the company decided to transform, most of the funds were diverted to the film and television industry, while the funds allocated to the music department were very limited.
Even this time the new song hit the charts, Qiantong paid for it himself and sold the data!
In this case,
Huanyin Guoyu still lost.
to be honest,
Qian Tong has tried his best!
But Zhao Ping can't speak for Qian Tong. Now he wants Qian Tong to take the blame so that he, the deputy general manager, can be punished less.
In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can promote Qiantong again.
The chairman is angry!
Everyone in the conference room was in shock and did not dare to speak.
"Report on the changes in the new song rankings in August."
The chairman motioned to his assistant to turn off the projector.
Qian Tong took a deep breath, sorted out his thoughts, and made a simple report on the changes in the new song list. Only Qian Tong's voice was left in the huge conference room.
After a long time,
The chairman said with great interest: "You mean Sun Qingxuan took the initiative to help promote this song?"
"Yes."
Qian Tong nodded hurriedly.
Xiao Xuan's fan base is not large, but if Sun Qingxuan is included, then the final ranking is not unacceptable.
After all, Sun Qingxuan is a super queen.
"Then do you know the songwriter of this song?"
The chairman asked again.
learn!
That’s so understanding!!
Qian Tong showed a wry smile. He had stumbled many times in Chen Ming's hands, how could he not be familiar with it?!
“The songwriter’s name is Chen Ming.”
"He's a...newcomer."
"He has recently become a popular contestant in the Yuncheng division of "The Voice" and has won first place in all three rounds of auditions."
"As far as I know, he has not signed a contract with any company."
Qian Tong answered truthfully.
It was the first time that the senior officials present heard about Chen Ming's deeds.
Some of them don't pay attention to The Voice; others, although they pay attention to The Voice, only pay attention to the Kyoto Division.
Therefore,
The name Chen Ming seems very unfamiliar.
The lyrics and music composed by a newcomer are actually on par with Fang Shu, which is so shocking.
“Has he released any singles on music platforms?”
"Yes, you can find it by searching the word "Chen Ming" on Yiyun.com.
The assistant is also very understanding.
After an operation, a melodious melody sounded in the conference room.
Half an hour later,
The chairman waved his hand and the music stopped abruptly: "Qian Tong, sign him to our company. As for the signing fee and contract, we have decided to report it to Zhao Ping."
This is a genius!
A true musical genius.
Although Huanyin National Entertainment's focus is on the film and television industry, it does not mean that it will completely abandon the music department. If you encounter good talents, you will naturally recruit them.
...
Signing...
Can't sign.
Qian Tong and Cui Han have offended Chen Ming to death.
Just as Qian Tong was about to answer, Zhao Ping took over: "I will supervise Qian Tong. Chairman, please rest assured."
Hearing the words,
The chairman nodded and said softly: "The meeting is dismissed."
Until the end, the chairman did not punish Qian Tong.
After the meeting,
Qian Tong was a little absent-minded.
actually,
He knew in his heart that it was impossible to sign a contract, and it would be impossible for Chen Ming to sign a contract with Huanyin National Entertainment in this life.
Taking on this job is a total hot potato!
At this moment,
Zhao Ping shouted: "Qian Tong, come to my office."
Office of the Deputy General Manager.
Zhao Ping rubbed his temples with a headache. On the surface, it seemed that the chairman did not punish anyone, but in fact, a knife was hung over the heads of Zhao Ping and Qian Tong.
Qian Tong seemed to have aged a few years, and he sighed helplessly: "Mr. Zhao, it is impossible for Chen Ming to sign a contract with us."
Qian Tong has already tried this.
Zhao Ping also understood in his heart.
after all,
He knew everything about Cui Han and Chen Ming.
"Then what do you want to say?"
"You want to say in front of all the senior management that you can't sign it?"
"Think before you speak!"
Zhao Ping sighed.
Qian Tong finally came to his senses and shivered all over.
"Thank you Mr. Zhao."
Qian Tong was still frightened. If he had spoken out just now, he would have gone to the street to beg for food the next day.
But what to do next?
If Chen Ming cannot be signed, the outcome will not be much different.
Zhao Ping's eyes flashed with shrewdness: "Spend money to write articles and praise Chen Ming."
"Praise me to death!!"
"We must bring out some big names in the industry, compare them with them, and then focus on writing about Chen Ming's excellence."
Kill with admiration.
In fact, it is a very sharp method.
Because the parties involved often have no way to refute or admit it.
To refute is to deny yourself;
But to admit it is to deny others.
Zhao Ping also knew very well that there was no hope for signing the contract, so he could only hope to flatter and destroy Chen Ming.
Once Chen Ming is collectively boycotted by people in the industry, he will have no way out.
by that time,
The chairman will no longer insist on signing the contract with Chen Ming.
"This matter needs to be done in a watertight manner, and no flaws can be found, so I will give you enough time to make arrangements. I want to see the results before the main competition of The Voice begins."
"I'll go deal with the chairman's side."
Zhao Ping ordered.
Qian Tong nodded hurriedly before leaving the deputy general manager's office.
the other side,
Chen Ming thought for a long time and decided not to disturb Tong Ran.
Tong Ran also has his own life, and the two of them have agreed to meet again in Kyoto, so there is no need to disturb others about this matter.
Su Rou, on the other hand, seemed very interested after learning that Chen Ming was planning to shoot a micro-movie, and seemed to be particularly concerned about the matter.
A week later, Saturday came again.
Chen Ming woke up early. He was in a very uneasy mood and didn't even fall asleep all night.
Acting and singing are two different things.
Just because Chen Ming can sing in public doesn't mean he can act well in public.
to be honest,
A week is too short!
Acting cannot be achieved quickly.
Chen Ming does not have any actor system, nor any other external help, so he can only hone his acting skills bit by bit.
It all depends on Chen Ming's talent in this area.
Chen Ming put on neat clothes and looked particularly serious.
Just went out,
Chen Ming saw Su Rou, and she was also very concerned about Chen Ming's audition, so she made an appointment with Chen Ming to go to the studio together long ago.
Chen Ming specifically asked Xu Manke, and only agreed to Su Rou after getting the other party's consent.
Chen Ming felt a lot more relaxed as he faced the morning sun.
After having breakfast at the breakfast shop, the two rushed to the studio.
