This star is wrong

Chapter 243 Chaoyin and Puxiang join forces, battle for the top spot
Originally, the competition between Chaoyin Culture and Fang Xing was not that fierce.

Although the Glacier Group and SPK were defeated by Fang Xing many times on the Music Billboard, even the TV series starring Li Siqi also lost.

But in fact, Chaoyin Culture and Fang Xing were not on the same track before, and only occasionally competed in music.

For Chaoyin culture, they are not making music, but promoting idol groups.

Music is just a tool for idol groups to make money, as long as there is singing, it doesn't need to be popular.

The same goes for TV drama competition.

Li Siqi only starred in "Blood Rain Rivers and Lakes", and the salary has already been taken. Whether the show is popular or hits the street, it has little to do with Chaoyin culture. At most, it will slightly affect the reputation of the show.

However, when film and television companies look for traffic stars to act in TV dramas, they don't fancy their acting skills, they just fancy traffic. As long as their popularity doesn't drop, the impact will not be great.

For these reasons, Fang Xing was not a big threat to Chaoyin culture before.

But it's different now.

Guangming Entertainment, a joint venture between Fang Xing and Tong Fei, started to operate an idol group.

Moreover, under Fang Xing's control, the two girl group songs "Chinese Language" and "Persian Cat" opened the prelude to the top girl group song charts.

God knows if there will be more chart-topping songs released in the future?
In this way, Guangming Entertainment and Chaoyin Culture have formed a competition on the track.

This is not just a competition on the music charts, but a competition for the cake.

Ray Entertainment is taking the cake from other entertainment companies.

Chaoyin Culture can endure the disastrous defeat on the Music Billboard, but it cannot tolerate Guangguang Entertainment stealing the idol group's cake.

Not only Chaoyin culture was affected, but companies such as Puxiang Records and Mailin Records also suffered greatly.

After calculation, because Fang Xing dominated the charts for a whole year last year, the revenue of Puxiang Records, Mailin Records, and Chaoyin Culture dropped by 20% to 30% last year.

According to the trend in the first half of this year, this year's revenue will continue to decline.

And the one that has dropped the most this year is Chaoyin culture.

Last year's Glacier Group, at least still operated by Chaoyin Culture, although revenue also dropped, but not so much.

This year, the Fluorescent Girl is operated by Tong Fei and Fang Xing as a joint venture, which directly reduced Chaoyin Culture's revenue by half.

Now the Chaoyin girl group ANJI can't beat the fluorescent girl. If this continues, the Chaoyin culture will be even more difficult.

In order to stabilize the cake in the entertainment industry.

He Hongtu arranged a wine bureau and asked Chen Lipeng to come out to discuss.

Pengcheng Capital behind Chen Lipeng is the major shareholder of Puxiang Records, Mailin Records, and Reed Film and Television.

On the project "Blood Rain Jianghu", the two parties have cooperated.

Although "Blood Rain Rivers and Lakes" hit the street, causing both parties to have a very unpleasant quarrel, but there is nothing in the mall that cannot be resolved by interests.

What's more, now the two sides have a common opponent.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that Pengcheng Capital's financial statements for the first half of the year are not very attractive." As soon as He Hongtu opened his mouth, he put sand in Chen Lipeng's eyes.

Pengcheng Capital mainly invests in entertainment companies, and its largest investments are Puxiang Records and Mailin Records.

Especially Mailin Records, Pengcheng Capital is the largest shareholder.

Because before Mailin Records won the king, Pengcheng Capital invested 5000 million in Mailin Records, obtained 40% of the shares of Mailin Records, and became the largest shareholder of Mailin Records.

In 15 years, Mine Records has developed from a small record company to a top five major company in the Chinese music scene.

Pengcheng Capital has achieved nearly a hundred times the return on investment in this investment, which can be called a classic case in the investment industry.

One of the most important reasons for the success of Pengcheng Capital is that the Chen family is familiar with the music industry and is also the main investor in the music industry.

It can be said that the Chen family discovered the potential of Mai Lin Records 15 years ago, so the bet was successful.

Puxiang Records is similar.

However, the Chen family's shareholding in Puxiang Records was a half-way car. When the shares were held, Puxiang Records was already halfway up the mountain, so the return on investment was not particularly high.

Since the Chen family is familiar with the music industry, they are taking the route of long-term shareholding, and the Chen family will intervene in the actual operation of the two record companies, using their influence in the music industry to develop the two companies, and have achieved great success.

Before last year, the Chen family's territory had spread all over the Chinese music scene, and there was a tendency to occupy half of the music scene.

However, Fang Xing's appearance broke the Chen family's plan to expand their territory.

For the entire year of last year and the first half of this year, the revenues of Puxiang Records and Mine Records broke their ten-year growth momentum and fell for the first time.

The reason was because of Fang Xing's appearance, the market share of Songshi Records soared, cutting away the cakes of Puxiang Records and Mailin Records.

Also because the revenue of Puxiang Records and Mailin Records plummeted, the financial statements of the Chen family's Pengcheng Capital in the first half of the year were not good.

Several major shareholders of Pengcheng Capital expressed dissatisfaction with the performance in the first half of the year.

It was only then that Chen Lipeng took the lead to get Puxiang Records and Mailin Records to join forces, and it was then that Tan Zhiguan joined "Let's Sing" and fought Fang Xing in the ring.

Now, Ray Entertainment has also begun to cut the cake across the two tracks of idols and records.

The Chen family naturally couldn't bear it.

He Hongtu also understood that the Chen family was now the biggest victim of Fang Xing's birth, and that's why today's banquet happened.

"What does Mr. He mean?" Chen Lipeng pretended not to know, with a flat expression.

"President Chen, don't act. The report of Pengcheng Capital in the first half of the year is not good. You are not less angry with shareholders, right?" He Hongtu chuckled.

Most of Pengcheng Capital's shares are in the hands of the Chen family.

However, there are still about 40% of the shares held by other shareholders.

Therefore, Pengcheng Capital's report is not good-looking, and Chen Lipeng, as the chairman, wants to give these shareholders an explanation.

For Pengcheng Capital, facing the current situation, there are two options.

The first choice is to help Puxiang Records and Mailin Records to reverse the trend of declining revenue.

In this way, Fang Xing needs to be defeated head-on in order to regain the sliced ​​cake.

The second option is to sell the shares of Puxiang Records and Mailin Records, withdraw funds, and look for new projects or tracks.

If it is a general investment company, you can make the second choice.

However, Puxiang Records and Mine Records have only experienced a decline in revenue, not a loss, and they have not yet reached the point where they need to sell their shares.

Secondly, the Chen family has influence in the music circle, and the music track is the track the Chen family is most confident investing in.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the Chen family will withdraw from this track, so they can only choose the first option.

It was impossible for Chen Lipeng to disclose the internal situation of the company, so he continued to maintain a calm voice and said, "Pengcheng Capital is in good condition."

He didn't lie, Pengcheng Capital's operating conditions are indeed very good, but the revenue has declined, the profit is less than before, and it is far from the time of loss, which is completely two concepts.

However, for capital, if you earn less, you will lose money.

Seeing that Chen Lipeng was still holding it, He Hongtu shook his head and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Chen insists on holding it like this, then the matter of jointly dealing with Fang Xing and Songshi Records cannot be discussed."

In fact, Chen Lipeng had already guessed his reason for coming, and said with a smile: "As long as the time is right, of course we can join hands."

Like an old fox, He Hong looked at Chen Lipeng and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago. Between allies, mutual trust and mutual honesty can win."

Chen Lipeng got straight to the point: "How does Mr. He think we should join forces?"

"It's actually very simple. The momentum of Songshi Records and Guangguang Entertainment is so strong. In fact, the main reason is Fang Xing..."

He Hongtu began to analyze: "First of all, the fluorescent girls promoted by Guangguang Entertainment, this group is really not good enough, it can't compare to my ANJI.

"However, just because Fang Xing made a song "Chinese Language" for the fluorophore, its popularity surpassed that of ANJI for three consecutive months.

"Last week, Fang Xing sent another song "Persian Cat" to the fluorophore.

"I don't need to say this song? You can hear it everywhere when you walk on the street or in the shopping mall.

"Just yesterday, 'Persian Cat' topped the charts.

"If this goes on like this, the entire Chinese music scene will be awakened by him.

"In the future, if he eats meat, we can only drink soup, maybe we won't even be able to drink soup."

He Hongtu didn't need to say these things, Chen Lipeng knew about them.

However, it was not as alarmist as what He Hongtu said.

But the fact is true, the songs produced by Fang Xing are popular one after another.

It has been a whole year since Puxiang Records and Mailin Records released a song that hit the top of the charts, and they almost forgot what it was like.

Chen Lipeng still looked indifferent, and asked: "What do you think Mr. He should do?"

He Hongtu said categorically: "He must be defeated, and he must not be allowed to continue to expand. He must be defeated head-on. We can't beat it alone, so let's do it together.

"As long as Fang Xing and his company want to release a song, we will arrange for the singer to release a song to attack him and suppress his momentum."

Chen Lipeng flicked the cigarette ash and said, "This is not easy."

"The difficulty is indeed not small, but one company is not enough, two or three are not enough? Could it be that Fang Xing can still compete with the entire music scene?" He Hongtu's words were very provocative.

"It's simple to say, but it's hard to say how to do it. Is there a specific implementation plan?" Chen Lipeng said.

He Hongtu was already prepared, and said, "Ren Qiuya, a first-line singer of Puxiang Records, isn't he going to release a new song next month? I remember that the song has been prepared a long time ago. It's a love song duet, and it's going to be used to bring newcomers to the company. right?"

First-line and super first-line singers of the record company release songs, and sometimes they will release duet songs, and sometimes the names of duet singers have never been heard.

In a situation like this, it's not difficult to find out just by searching. In fact, the record company arranged for first-line singers to lead the company's newcomers.

Puxiang Records does have a song release plan next month.

It is a duet of a love song by Ren Qiuya, a first-line singer of Puxiang Records, and the duet male singer is a newcomer of Puxiang.

Puxiang Records is already doing pre-heating, and the promotion is about to roll out.

This is no secret to industry insiders.

Chen Lipeng nodded and admitted: "There is such a plan. The quality of this song is indeed good, but it is used to attract newcomers. The male singer is not well-known, so it will be disadvantaged in the ring."

The corner of He Hongtu's mouth twitched into an old fox-like smile, and said, "Pu Xiang sings, I'm popular."

Chen Lipeng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Don't bring a newcomer, replace it with Li Siqi. Li Siqi and Ren Qiuya's love song duet will definitely explode. The newcomers can't beat Fang Xing now. Let's use the song first to suppress Fang Xing's momentum." He Hongtu A proposal was proposed.

Chen Lipeng rubbed his fists and thought about it.

He Hongtu continued to add: "Don't worry, Li Siqi will sing this song, and Chaoyin won't take any money from us. Isn't this cooperation sincere enough?"

Generally speaking, the price of singing a song is very high for domestic top performers like Li Siqi.

However, in order to suppress the momentum of the fluorescent girl, He Hongtu can't control so much now.

"Use "The Right Hand" to fight "Persian Cat"? If Li Siqi and Ren Qiuya sing, the popularity, strength, and songs can indeed be suppressed." After careful consideration, Chen Lipeng felt that this plan was feasible. .

"Battling "Persian Cat" is just one of them. We also need to press the three-person group that Guangming Entertainment is going to promote, so that this group will die as soon as it debuts. I heard that this three-person group is Fang Xing's idea. How can an idol group of three fight with nine people? Fang Xing may know music, but she doesn't know girl groups." He Hongtu's eyes revealed the light of Zhizhu's grasp.

……

The two talked about the plan again.

the next day.

Li Siqi got the song "The Age of the Right Hand". After practicing for a day, he went directly to Puxiang Records to record the song.

Ren Qiuya's part had already been recorded, and what was missing was Li Siqi's part.

Li Siqi only practiced for one day, but he is not very familiar with it yet.

However, this does not affect the recording in the studio. You can record it several times, cut the sentences together in the later stage, and then cooperate with the tuning, and you can always reach the level of singing.

Since "The Right Hand" originally had a release plan, but now it is just a new male singer, the planned promotion can continue with only a few modifications.

Noon today.

"The Age of the Right Hand" was officially released.

Li Siqi, the top ceiling of Chaoyin culture, sang a love song duet with the first-line female singer Ren Qiuya of Puxiang Records.

As soon as the song was released, it caused an uproar.

Because this is the first time Li Siqi has sung a duet with a female singer.

Fans of SPK are both excited and worried.

Excited is that the idol released a song again, but worried about singing duet with other women this time, it feels like cheating.

There are even some fans who are really jealous, buy singles, and hit the charts even harder.

As soon as "Right Hand Youth" was released, it quickly entered the new song list.

Then it only took two days to rush to the hot song list, and began to collide head-on with "Persian Cat", fighting for the top three on the hot song list.

Since "The Right Hand" is a cooperation between Chaoyin Culture and Puxiang Records this time, there is also the operation of Pengcheng Capital behind it.

Therefore, "The Age of the Right Hand" hit the list very hard.

After a week of competition, Pengcheng Capital, Chaoyin Culture, and Puxiang Records teamed up and spent a lot of money to push "The Right Hand" to the top of the hot song list, squeezing "Persian Cat" down.

With the tough attitude of the capital, announced the alliance between Chaoyin Culture and Puxiang Records, and won the first round.

……

at the same time.

Tong Fei was somewhat upset when she saw that "The Right Hand" surpassed "Persian Cat".

Because the popularity of "Persian Cat" has not decreased, but the operation of "Right Hand Youth" is too strong, so "Persian Cat" was squeezed out.

Originally, "Persian Cat" should have dominated the list for a few more weeks, but now it has been squeezed out after only one week. This will cause "Persian Cat" not to exert its maximum value.

At the regular work meeting on Monday, Tong Fei sent a message asking Fang to wake up to attend.

At the meeting, Tong Fei and Fang Xing discussed the idea of ​​increasing the promotion of "Persian Cat".

""Persian Cat" still has potential. If we increase the promotion efforts, there is still hope to regain the number one."

Fang Xing thought for a while, and said, "It's no fun spending money on rankings, let's forget it."

Tong Fei frowned and asked, "Are you giving up now? There is a turbulent undercurrent behind this cooperation between Chaoyin Culture and Puxiang Records. If they lose this competition for the rankings, they will be kicking their noses."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "No, I just want to change the group. The three of Shen Xiyin and the others are about to release their song."

Tong Fei frowned, and asked, "Shen Xiyin and the others are ready to sing their song? Is there any hope of winning "The Right Hand Time"?"

With a confident smile on Fang Xing's face, he replied: "It's not a question of whether to win or not, but a question of how many times you will be crushed."
