After failing the college entrance examination, he became a big star

Chapter 585 Choice
on Monday.

Wu Han came to the company half an hour earlier than the work time, leaned in the executive chair, and smoked one cigarette after another, with a face full of thoughts.

The cooperation agreement between Shuteng Records and Huacan Records lasts for one year, and it will expire this Thursday.

Today's Huacan Records belongs to the Huacan Group. Under the group, there are two first-tier companies, Time and Sunset, and three second-tier companies, including Dimei. There is no need to rely on Shuteng for various channel resources.

In other words, the cooperation relationship between the two parties will end this Thursday, and there is no possibility of contract renewal.

Now, it is time to make a decision.

However, it is still difficult for Wu Han to decide whether to part ways or to surrender voluntarily.

If you take the initiative to surrender, Shuteng Records belongs to Huacan Group, and you can only exchange about [-]% of the shares. This is the approximate size given by Su Ting in the recent informal exchanges.

In the past year, relying on the cooperation with Huacan, Shuteng has made a lot of money. From the initial negative book to the current book capital of nearly 2 million, the round cash flow is sufficient, enough to be ranked in the top three in the circle.

In terms of market value, a base of 5 million.

When Huacan Group was established, the valuation in the circle was between 2.5 million and 3 million. Now, 3.5 million, 4 million?Anyway, it is impossible to reach 5 million.

In this transaction, in terms of valuation alone, Shuteng will suffer a lot. Of course, this is not the key point. The key point is that, as the largest shareholder, Shuteng Records has the final say. If he surrenders, he will lose control.

However, with this parting ways, how should the company stretch next?
To be honest, he really didn't have much confidence and confidence in some of the previous unsuccessful attempts, and the increasingly chaotic music scene after the shock of the Korean wave.

The time passed by one second, until the secretary knocked on the door and came in, Wu Han came back to his senses, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and before he knew it, it was past nine o'clock, so he ordered the secretary to inform the vice president, Cao Meng and others, to hold a meeting in 10 minutes , As for the high-level regular meeting, it will be temporarily canceled once.

10 minute later.

In the small conference room, Wu Han, the first vice president, and Cao Meng, the chief financial officer, sat in separate positions.

These four people are all shareholders who hold more than 5 points in the company, and the other vice president and marketing director also hold 5 points, and they did not join the company today due to business.

Wu Han got straight to the point, and raised the topic of what the company should do after the expiration of the cooperation period with Huacan, and made it clear that Huacan can only get about 10 points of shares in exchange.

In this matter, the final decision rests with him, but the wishes of shareholders are also very important.

Just like in ancient times, in theory, the emperor can decide everything with one word, but in fact he still has to be subject to the opinions of civil and military, otherwise he will be divorced from morality, and eventually become a lonely family.

The Chief Financial Officer said: "When Rolling Snow invested in Shiguang, it was calculated based on the market value of Shiguang at 8 million. Now my Shuteng market value is at least not lower than that of Shiguang. I only exchanged for 10 shares of Huacan Group, which is too much. low."

The first vice president said: "The market value is not calculated in this way. At the time, there were Ning Lan, the Queen of Time, and Li Kai, who was not inferior to the top-tier popularity. Just their two contracts. If Time was willing to let it go, at least 3 million could be exchanged. , not to mention, at that time, there were Tan Guangyue, SHF, Deng Yaxuan and other frontlines under Time Time."

Cao Meng raised his eyelids: "Mr. Fu, you mean to agree to surrender?"

The first vice president shook his head: "Now Huacan Group has dozens of singers, if Shuteng Records surrenders, the number of singers under it will be hundreds, this number has already exceeded the total number of singers under the three giants, it is too bloated. "

Cao Meng said: "Huacan Group will expand into the Asian music scene in the next step. This is no secret in the circle."

The first vice president said meaningfully: "Old Cao, you are not clear about the situation in the Asian music scene. It is the world of singers from island countries and Korean singers. Not only are singers from the two countries above the first line accounted for 5 to [-]%, but also the two countries The number of singers exported each year also accounts for nearly [-]% of the singers in the Asian region. You don't think that Li Kai won An Guilong in the Chinese music scene, and he can still win in the Asian region music scene."

He thought for a while, and said again: "The way of Gunxue and Huilijing is a reference plan."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became cold.

With the role models of Rolling Snow and Huilijing standing there, coupled with the rapid popularity of the Korean wave, many record companies in the circle have thought of following suit. However, after Li Kai defeated An Guilong, Huacan's Singers released videos one after another, and achieved considerable results one after another, but the momentum of the Korean wave has not recovered from the original, and this idea was temporarily suppressed by various record companies.

Gein is also a lesson learned from Gunxue and Huilijing. These two companies have become the target of public criticism. They can withstand it because they are giants. The record company still wants to seek survival and development in the domestic music scene by cultivating domestic singers on its own.

Whoever brings in foreign singers will smash most people's jobs. If their jobs are in danger, how can others not work hard?

Therefore, no one wants to do this unless it is absolutely necessary.

It was soon after ten o'clock.

There was a knock on the door, and with the promise, the secretary opened the door and passed a folder to Wu Han.

The three of Cao Meng knew that the last week's sales list was in the folder, and they all stretched their necks slightly.

Wu Han opened it and looked at it for half a minute, with a complicated expression on his face. He shook his head and sighed with a bit of emotion, then handed it to the vice president.

Last week's sales table.

First, Li Kai, 352718.

Second, Shu Zhen, 299273.

Third, the coolness strikes, 226281.

Fourth, Gong Lifeng, 142931.

Fifth, Anguilong, 119251.

Sixth, Yang Fan, 116872.

Seventh, Pure Bixiu, 97736.

Eighth, Red Heart Band, 92781.

Ninth, Xin Danyuan, 87617.

Tenth, Kong Yanyin, 81327.

Just as Qiao Li predicted, Li Kai's album still topped the chart in the second week after the full moon, falling by more than 35% from the previous week and holding the [-] mark.

Shu Zhen won the second place in the list again. In the third week of the album's release, it has increased by 3 copies compared to the previous week, which is only a thin line away from the 30 mark.

You know, last week, the number of singers who posted videos reached the highest point in a year, and the number of hands and feet remained high last week, reaching 18 people, and last week, it was still at a high level, a full 16 people.

In three weeks, the total number of singers who released the film exceeded 50, which is about [-]% more than the average number in normal days.

In such a sea of ​​red, it is quite rare to be able to rise against the trend.

In addition to the popularity of the first and second hits, the third hit is also very popular, which makes this album have a strong stamina, and there is another very important factor. With the release of the movie "A Journey to the South", the non-title song "Cool" became popular. keep climbing.

It has been on the market for 17 days, and the cumulative sales volume is 68. According to this momentum, the default of three platinum by the full moon is already a certainty, and the default of three and a half platinum is seventy-eight out of ten. Whether the default of [-] gold can be achieved, and the announcement after the seal can be fulfilled, we can still watch the follow-up .

The third-ranked cool hit, the fourth week of the album's release, the piracy protection period expired in two days on the weekend, and in the fierce market competition, it dropped by [-]% compared to the previous week, slightly higher than the normal category.

The fourth and fifth places, Gong Lifeng and An Guilong, both dropped by more than [-]% from the previous week, which is considered quite satisfactory.

Yang Fan, a newcomer singer under Daishi Records, has risen to the sixth place. In the gap week when Huacan’s singers released consecutive films, the album was the first hit, and achieved double clearance of new song recommendations on the two charts. The sales volume increased by nearly 12% compared with the previous week, reaching Nearly [-] copies were sold.

The album has been released for 13 days, and the cumulative sales have exceeded 20. As long as there is no serious dive in the follow-up, Full Moon will steadily reach the default platinum, and even wildly default to one and a half platinum.

Qingchun Bixiu fell from sixth to seventh last week. Last week, which was supposed to be the peak week of regular sales, actually fell by 10% compared to the previous week, falling below the [-] mark.

The Red Heart band released the film in the first week, and within three days, they rushed to the eighth place with more than 9 sales, which can be said to be quite brilliant.

One of the most important factors is that thanks to Cantonese albums, there is somewhat of a misplaced competition with blockbuster Mandarin albums, among which Hong Kong Island and Taiwan contributed nearly half of the sales.

Xin Danyuan fell from seventh to ninth in the previous week, and at a glance with Qingchun Bixiu, in the regular peak sales week, it fell by 9% compared to the previous week, falling below the [-] mark.

Kong Yanyin still fell at the end of the top ten, with an increase of more than 8 sales compared with the previous week, and climbed to the 8 mark. However, the cumulative sales of the album in 14 days were less than 16. In terms of the total cost of the album, it is really a bit unsatisfactory.

The sales list turned around and returned to Wu Han's hands. He glanced at it again, and said calmly: "Shu Zhen's album sales approached the 30 mark last week. Maybe it will be a success after the official announcement."

"The Chixin band released a Cantonese album. It sold more than 3 copies in 9 days. It might be triple platinum again. Huacan's singers released their albums one after another, and they all sold well."

As he spoke, he glanced at the chief financial officer inadvertently.

The chief financial officer understood the meaning of this glance in no time. If Shu Zhen succeeds in being crowned queen, her personal worth will at least double. If Chixin Band wins triple platinum, they will be able to leap to the front line with their first album, and their net worth will also soar. After another day, the market value of Huacan Group will rise accordingly.

The implication is that she is already faintly inclined to surrender to Huacan.

The chief financial officer looked helpless, a bit reluctant, but still nodded, sighing in his heart, that guy disappeared for half a year, and it is said that he went abroad. With the popularity of Korean fashion, in the eyes of many people in the circle, he owns 6 record companies Huacan Group, which has more than 300 employees and dozens of singers, will be hit the hardest, and its prospects are worrying.

At that time, let alone 10 points, even if it could be exchanged for 20 points, he would firmly oppose surrender.

But who would have thought that as soon as that guy came back, there would be a violent storm immediately, the momentum of the small Hallyu was blocked, and Huacan's storm came. With this wave of releases, Huacan's income may be nearly 2 million, and the market value Even more soaring.
I don't know how many people in the circle are jealous, and I don't know how many people have grievances, but the hard facts make people have to accept it.

Wu Han groaned, and continued: "The albums of Qingchun Bixiu and Xin Danyuan typically rise first and then decline, and the stamina is not enough."

As he said that, he looked at the first vice president, wondering why the latter was looking at himself, pondered for a moment, and said, "The small Korean movie that Qingchun Bixiu starred in and sang the theme song is not bad at the box office, but it's not as good as the previous idol dramas. Big red and big purple, Xin Danyuan's propaganda resources are much less than those Xiaohan singers before, after all, he is a Xiaohan singer, not An Guilong, sub-regional kings and queens like Li Zhizhi, they are all new faces to the domestic public."

After a pause, the topic changed slightly: "That's right, it's still firmly in the top ten in weekly sales. If it weren't for Huacan's singer Zhang Zhang's big sales, and if there are too many singers releasing films in the past few weeks, the full moon sales double platinum is not out of the question. .”

Wu Han frowned slightly, showing a thoughtful look. The first vice president saw it in his eyes and added: "Hua Can has made it clear that he will not hit the giants within three years. This is also doomed In areas such as cultural and sports activities, it is impossible to compete with the giants, and the space for expansion in China is already quite limited.”

After hearing this, Wu Han frowned a little deeper.

Cao Meng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The first single of American new female singer Ruth, topped the charts in six European countries, and climbed to tenth on the top [-] list last weekend. Her single The song is Li Kai's work, so far, Li Kai has already had two works in the top ten of the Top [-] list."

The three of Wu and Han showed stunned expressions. The Huaguo music circle is a little far away from the international music scene, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

Cao Meng let out a sigh of relief: "I boldly guess that Huacan will not only enter the Asian music scene, but may also enter the international music scene."

The three of Wu and Han were shocked, and for a moment, the first vice president said: "If this is the case, I think we need to be more cautious. The international music scene costs tens of millions to release a record, and the six giants are all listed companies with a market value of one billion meters. More than one yuan, there are all kinds of predators, and Huacan's little family wealth is not enough to put people's teeth."

The Chief Financial Officer nodded sharply: "If the Asian music scene can still try, after all, the domestic music scene can subsidize it if it is not successful. If the international music scene. The risk is too great. All the funds in our company account are now a top-line singer in Europe and the United States. The fee standard for the album."

Cao Meng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing the word "Chuan" floating on Wu Han's forehead, he finally chose to remain silent.

Indeed, if Huacan really wants to step into the international music scene, it's like sailing out to sea. In the lake, Huacan can already be regarded as an aircraft carrier, but in the river, it can only be regarded as a medium-sized ship.

Even though Cao Meng was inclined to surrender, he did not dare to encourage him.

And every time the word "Chuan" appears on Wu Han's forehead, it means that he is caught in the entanglement of major issues. Anyway, the three of them have already said what should be said. This kind of decision related to the company's fate should be left to Boss Wu Qiankun to decide.

Just when Wu Han was hesitating about making a decision about the future of Shuteng Records, Luo Tiannan was also facing a major decision.

On the desk in front of you, there are three documents. On the left is the fax officially sent by iKuqi about the arrangements and assessment standards for the systematic training of singers under Rolling Snow. In the middle is the sales report of last week. development plan.
