China Entertainment 1997.

Chapter 264 Cao Xuan Oppa, Sarah Black

boom!
Zhou Jianhui, vice president of Warner Asia and president of Greater China, slapped the newspaper on the table angrily.

"Zheng Tianhong is a bastard, think that Warner is blind!"

And the headline displayed in the newspaper was the interview with the reporter again by the chairman of Sony (China), Zheng Tianhong.

"Sony wants to join hands with Cao Xuan to create a world superstar"

Compared with the cryptic rhetoric in the previous episode, after receiving positive feedback from Fan Xing and Cao Xuan, Zheng Tianhong couldn't hide his excitement, and his words became more explicit, and he almost regarded Cao Xuan as something in Sony's pocket.

Such a flamboyant attitude naturally aroused Warner's extreme dissatisfaction.

Especially Zhou Jianhui, as Cao Xuan's "bole", Warner personally created an Asian superstar, and he and Warner also benefited a lot from it.

Warner, which was originally in jeopardy, has now become the number one record company in China, with extensive strength and influence in the three places on both sides of the strait.

Zhou Jianhui himself was a transitional president of the China region. Not only did he secure his position, he was promoted to the vice president of the Asia region, and he was even a strong contender for the president of the Asia region.

Along the way, he knew more about the connection between Cao Xuan and Warner than anyone else, and also understood how much negative impact it would have on Warner if Cao Xuan left.

Whether it is Zhang Huimei, Naying, Sun Yanzi or Sun Nan, they can't fill the vacancy left by Cao Xuan, the No.1 Chinese music player and Asian king.

Warner, which was originally booming, will usher in immeasurable losses.

This is also Sony's strategy. Poaching Cao Xuan is not only a powerful boost to Sony itself, but also a major blow to Warner, a competitor.

If the operation is good, China's No. [-] record company may change ownership...

"Mr. Zhou, the most urgent thing is to renew the contract with Cao Xuan as soon as possible. Now everyone in the company is panicking, and the company headquarters also has emails to inquire about the situation. If Cao Xuan really leaves, the consequences will be disastrous."

Huang Minxia, ​​vice president of Warner China, Zhou Jianhui's confidant and right-hand assistant, reminded.

Usually, I don't think so, but now that there is a storm, the top management of Warner have felt the influence of Cao Xuan, the "Big Brother of Warner", in the company, which is comparable to the magic needle of Dinghai.

This is also very normal. Most of Warner's dazzling achievements in the music scene in the past few years have been made by Cao Xuan alone.

Gods block and kill gods, Buddhas block and kill Buddhas, rubbing and rubbing several other record companies under their bodies.

The old employees watched Cao Xuan carry forward Warner with his own strength, and many new employees came here because of Cao Xuan and the name of the first record company.

Everyone knows that Warner has Cao Xuan in charge and dominates the Chinese music scene. Now that Dinghaishenzhen is leaving, it's no wonder everyone doesn't panic.

Under Huang Minxia's persuasion, Zhou Jianhui also calmed down.

"What does Cao Xuan mean?"

"Cao Xuan himself didn't reply. He participated in an event in Shanghai and immediately flew to South Korea to promote it. Fanxing's Vice President Jiang Yue negotiated with us."

"This is hiding from us."

Zhou Jianhui frowned. The relationship between Warner and Cao Xuan was not purely a cooperative relationship. The two sides went from the trough to the glory together, and there was friendship between them.

It's not that no one has poached Cao Xuan before, as long as Warner came forward and actively communicated with Cao Xuan, they could save the day.

Cao Xuan has always expressed his attitude to Warner very frankly, fighting for his own interests, and rarely shy away from it, which also let Warner understand that Cao Xuan really has no idea of ​​changing jobs.

But this time Cao Xuan avoided seeing him, more or less avoiding the offensive of friendship and doing business in a business-like manner.

Zhou Jianhui's face became more serious. It seemed that this incident was more serious than he had imagined.

"What did she say?"

"As a friend, she revealed to us Sony's price tag. When other conditions are roughly equal to ours, the signing fee is 1 million and the Japanese market."

"Damn, these devils are crazy."

Zhou Jianhui didn't hold back and spit out the swear words again.

With the signing fee of 1 million yuan, plus Cao Xuan's already very generous dividend ratio, with Cao Xuan's current album output, he can hardly make any money.

However, he also understands that Cao Xuan's valuables are not limited to the dividends from his albums and concerts.

Its own influence and achievements give enterprises even more terrifying help.

If Sony (China) and Warner (China) are both listed companies now, then Cao Xuan's entry and exit will have a bipolar effect on the stock prices of the two companies soaring and collapsing.

Although the two companies are not listed, and the stock prices are not considered for the time being, there are still fluctuations in the head office, and there are great changes in the market value and influence.

But this was not Zhou Jianhui's biggest headache.

Originally, Warner had prepared a very generous signing fee for Cao Xuan. The two parties had been negotiating before, and they were discussing between 5000 million and 6000 million, while Warner's reserve price was 6500 million.

Now it seems that the signing fee will definitely increase, and it will cost 8000 million.

Coupled with some concessions in other areas and the old friendship with Cao Xuan, it can almost offset Sony's 1 million.

But the Japanese market, Sony's stronghold, is Warner's weakness.

As the largest music market in Asia, Sony's bargaining chip is not insignificant, and it even works well, which is much more valuable than the 1 million signing fee.

Zhou Jianhui thought for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Now we can only ask the head office for help. Cao Xuan has always planned to enter the European and American markets. If he wants to overtake Sony this time, he has to win over him." Adequate resource tilt."

"Will the head office agree?"

"If you don't agree, you have to agree. Besides, a superstar with an Asian market, why don't they agree?"

Zhou Jianhui showed the arrogance of the president, and took out his mobile phone: "I will contact Adam (President of Warner Asia) now, and then contact the head office together. You go and book a ticket immediately. I will go to South Korea to have an interview with Cao Xuan."

"clear."

Huang Minxia left in a hurry, Zhou Jianhui prepared a draft and made a phone call.

"Hey, Boss..."

.........

At the same time, accompanied by a group of staff members, Cao Xuan got off the plane and arrived at Incheon International Airport in South Korea.

His visit to South Korea this time was jointly arranged by Fanxing and Warner, and the local organizers in South Korea accepted him.

Cao Xuan came to Korea for the first time, and both Warner Bros. and the organizer wanted to make it more lively and announced the flight to the public.

So as soon as Cao Xuan walked out of the airport, he saw hundreds of Korean fans densely surrounded by the gate.

These Korean fans uniformly wore red peaked caps with the word [Cao] printed on them, and held a light board with Cao Xuan's name and photo printed on it, with Chinese and Korean characters [].

This is the first time Cao Xuan knows that his name is written in Korean, and it looks a little weird.

Especially the first word, which is rich in associations, but it does fit 【Cao】......

Afterwards, Cao Xuan asked about the translation. It was probably a transliteration, which is not very standard. It is equivalent to hamburger and Hamburger in Chinese and English.

In the history of South Korea, there was a minister Zhao Xian (Chinese), which was also translated into Korean [], which shows the magic of this accent.

When Cao Xuan was struggling with his name, the Korean fans at the door went crazy when they saw Cao Xuan wearing a down jacket coming out.

"Ahhh!"

"Cao Xuan Ouba!"

"Oh my god, mom, I saw Cao Xuan."

"Wooooow, Oppa."

"Cao Xuan, I love you (Chinese)"

"..."

Cao Xuan, who was walking and waving, heard someone shouting in Chinese, looked over, and found that it was a few Korean girls, who should have learned Chinese on purpose.

The index finger of the left hand intersects with the thumb, making a heart-to-heart comparison: "Hey Sarah (I love you)!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

The atmosphere at the scene exploded again. Although they didn't particularly understand the meaning of Bi Xin's gesture, they could still understand [Sara Hey Yo].

For foreign stars like this, it is more pleasing to speak a few words in the mother tongue of fans.

For example, those foreign stars who come to China, if they can speak a few words of Chinese, the fans will be very happy. In the same way, when Cao Xuan goes to Korea to "confess" to fans in Korean, he will also get enthusiastic feedback from Korean fans.

Cao Xuan himself is a bit nationalistic, and he doesn't have a good impression of many foreigners, especially those who have a dirty relationship with China.

But for fans who really like him, he can still look at them differently, and is willing to give them some care and happiness within his ability.

After comparing hearts and waving goodbye to fans, Cao Xuan got into the commercial vehicle and headed to the hotel.

When I first arrived at the hotel, I also met Li Chaeyoung, the person in charge of the organizer, who is also a vice president of JYP.

The three giants of the famous Korean entertainment company in the future have just been established for less than five years, and even the name of JYP was changed just last year.

At present, JYP is still far from the giants, but it is also doing well.

Warner's business in South Korea is limited, so Cao Xuan's trip to South Korea has been arranged by JYP, which is responsible for the arrangement of Cao Xuan's book signing and variety shows.

"Mr. Cao, you have worked hard."

"It's not hard, the fans in Seoul are very enthusiastic, thank you for the arrangement."

Cao Xuan shook the hand of this young Korean woman in her 30s. The plastic surgery industry in Korea has not yet fully developed. Cao Xuan really didn't realize how many "beauties" there are in Korea along the way.

After exchanging pleasantries with Li Caiying for a while, Cao Xuan, who had caught the plane, went to rest in the hotel room.

This hotel is adjacent to the Han River, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the night view of the Han River at night.

Frankly speaking, the scenery is pretty good, but Cao Xuan has been thinking about such a big Han River, how did the little blue pill exceed the standard?

Is the body of the people of Seoul so weak...
