It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

Of course it is impossible to escape from the battlefield.

In order to prevent some people who care about their "face" from being scared away after seeing the list of players, Mr. Yang unprecedentedly included a "breach of contract" compensation section in the contract.

This compensation mechanism is two-way. If the Kuiguang Group breaches the contract, it will pay high compensation to the invited personnel, and vice versa.

The group will not change the competition system and will not ask the invitees to do anything beyond the requirements of the contract, but the cost of regret for the invitees after signing the contract is very high.

The higher the reward, the greater the compensation in case of breach of contract.

Anyway, Mr. Yang’s meaning is very simple - everyone gets high remuneration, and then uses cumbersome and high costs to prevent certain singers from forcing themselves to back out even if they would rather pay compensation.

After reading the long string of numbers and the eye-catching compensation clause on the contract, Ying Lan silently swallowed what she had just said, pretended to be calm and put the contract aside, and coughed lightly: "Well, it's okay, generally, if Kuiguang Group sends me a questionnaire, I will definitely fill it out very simply."

However, the audience in the live broadcast room did not buy Ying Lan's tough talk. Her performance just now was clearly shown to everyone.

Some people were even quick enough to turn on the screen recording function on their phones and recorded the entire scene.

"No, why is the host's name listed together with those people above? Why, why? The host is not going to compete with those people on the spot, right?"

"Look how happy Lanlan is smiling."

"Hahaha! This time we really have to go through the whole process."

"I've already said that Kuiguang Group will definitely make a big splash. How could it be just a simple music variety show?"

"I thought they were going to do something big, but I didn't expect it to be this big."

Lan Lan's secondary creative team: "Don't worry, our secondary creative team has already recorded the scene just now. I will use the power of editing to replace what Lan Lan just said, and it will become a hit video immediately."

Ying Lan was stunned: "What do you mean by swapping the words?"

"You just boasted that you would sweep all opponents first, and then you saw the opponent list. I edited it a little bit, so that you can see the opponent list first, and then you boasted that you would sweep them all. How wonderful is that?"

"Hard enough!"

"Okay, okay, we just want to embarrass the anchor, but you are different. You want the anchor to die."

Ying Lan raised her voice a little: "Where is the property manager? Quickly block this hater!"

"Stop shouting. The housing manager is also waiting to see you make a fool of yourself."

"Host, think positively. Others want to pay to see a boss of this level but cannot. Not only can you pay to see him, but you can also get a free beating. Isn't this a double blessing?"

"Why do you have so little confidence in the anchor? Even if the whole world stands against Lan Lan, I will firmly support the whole world!"

"It's okay, host. Once you get on stage, just think of it as a dream. Just bear with it and it will be over soon."

"..."

Things like what happened to Ying Lan not only happened in this live broadcast room, but also happened in many other places.

Even some real singing stars looked unhappy after seeing this list.

Although the domestic entertainment industry seems to be constantly innovating, it is actually showing signs of becoming stagnant. Even though it has improved somewhat in recent times under the stimulation of the Kuiguang Group, the changes are not coming so quickly.

It really makes people feel guilty to let them compete with international superstars on such a big stage in a live broadcast.

If you try your best and lose in a tough competition, it's not a big deal. But if your performance on stage is too poor, you will easily be attacked by the whole network.

But after looking at the staggering number in the contract and thinking about the cost of going back on their word at the last minute, no one chose to escape.

It would be fine if you found all kinds of excuses not to go before signing the contract and before the list of names is announced, but if you suddenly change your mind after seeing the list, no matter what excuse you make, it will be difficult to cover up the fact that you feel guilty.

……

While all the singers who received the list were shocked, Yang Ruoqian was in his office holding a document and looking through it carefully.

At the desk, Qi Mu was also holding a document, reading it word by word: "Boss Yang, the list of the variety show "Singer" has been released."

Yang Ruoqian looked at the report in his hand and asked casually, "So, is there anyone who was scared away after seeing this list?"

Qi Mu said seriously: "Boss Yang, you have made detailed invitation fee plans for each invitee, and almost no invited singer is willing to bear the cost of breaking the contract."

Those singers who are not so talented and are overrated cannot afford to offend the Kuiguang Group and pay the penalty for breach of contract, while those singers who are more confident in their own abilities are unwilling to do so.

Therefore, in the second confirmation after the list was announced, all invitees confirmed that they would participate in the variety show.

No one regretted it.

Yang Ruoqian nodded in satisfaction at his successful strategy - in the past he would not have dared to take such a risky move. What if these invitees suddenly decided to run away at the same time for some unknown reason, causing the company to make a fortune inexplicably before the variety show even started? That would be a bit unlucky.

So this time, Yang Ruoqian specially found a corresponding actuarial team and carefully customized contracts for each invitee before he dared to take the risk and make such a decision.

Now it seems that the risk was well worth taking.

No one chose to pay the compensation despite gritted teeth, and even overpaid the actuaries.

Yang Ruoqian nodded: "Great, we can start preparing the venue, making plans based on the contestants, and start warming up before the variety show."

This time, the variety show "Singer" naturally continued the group's usual extravagant style.

But after all, it is a variety show of a relatively pure nature that competes in singing skills. No matter how lavishly the money is spent, it can't be more expensive than building a deserted island, setting up various cameras on the deserted island, and arranging helicopters to fly around the island around the clock.

The bulk of the expenses are spent on inviting singers, but the amount of work that requires the engineering team to spend time to complete is not that large, so in the second quarter's schedule, "Singer" takes precedence over all other projects.

Even because of the large number of international superstars invited, this variety show has also gained a certain degree of popularity overseas.

Mag, who is busy operating the IP of "Black Robe Inspection Team", also smelled the business opportunity and is now ready to send someone to the company to discuss the specific cost of variety show broadcasting with Yang Ruoqian. Different singers have different fans, and the more fanatical groups of these fans often take the initiative to belittle other singers and praise their own singers by stepping on one and praising the other.

Since these singers have never competed on the same stage, fans can only compare them from a distance by pulling out various concerts or video materials.

Usually you say you are right and I say I am right. One side says that the styles are different and cannot be compared horizontally, while the other side says that this is sound editing and technology... In short, arguing over such things will not lead to any result and no one can convince anyone else.

What's more, some singers are not of the same nationality, making it even more difficult to compare them.

But this time, everything was different.

Superstars of the same level will be put on the same stage to determine who is better in the most direct way.

Singers from different countries, with different fans and different styles will also have the opportunity to show their full strength and compete with opponents who were once out of their reach in their best fields and styles.

In the past, such an opportunity was almost impossible - big singers have such high status and so many fans, why would they accept the challenge of an ordinary singer?

If you win it's natural, but if you lose it's embarrassing... It's high risk and has absolutely no benefits.

Therefore, fans can only compare privately with each other, and they can never reach a conclusion.

Now, there is finally a variety show that allows fans around the world to see the true level of their singers. How can it not attract attention?

Most of the international superstars invited by Yang Ruoqian are still active in the music scene, and some are even in their prime, with countless fans around the world!
Global traffic converges here. Even if Mag is slow-witted, it is impossible for him not to see the business opportunities and he will try every means to obtain the international broadcasting operation rights.

At this time, he was also extremely grateful that he had a keen eye for talent and had established cooperation channels with Kuiguang Group earlier than everyone else, and had also had a successful cooperation experience.

Of course, the two sides have not yet reached an agreement on the broadcast.

The seller thinks the price is too high, while the buyer thinks it is too low, and the situation is currently at a stalemate.

Qi Mu, who was in charge of related matters, nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Yang, everything will be done before the show is officially broadcast."

"Okay." Yang Ruoqian nodded and stopped talking about this topic. "What about the other important projects this quarter? How are they going now?"

After all, the members who organize the variety show "Singer", whether it is the variety show planners, coordinators, or even the contestants, are all veterans...the possibility of trouble occurring during the coordination stage is basically non-existent.

This variety show is Yang Ruoqian simply doing his best to create miracles.

As long as you spend enough, the payback period will be long and there will be a deficit in the account book this month.

Seeing that his boss had changed the subject, Qi Mu immediately took out another document: "Boss Yang, regarding the new movie, the operations department has come up with two plans. One is more grand, and the other focuses on a refined plot and humanities. Which one do you plan to adopt?"

Yang Ruoqian was silent for a moment, then said, "Are these two... very conflicting?"

Qi Mu was prepared for the boss to choose the former without hesitation, but he didn't expect to get such a reply.

Art films and commercial films have always been distinguished.

The former aims at art, while the latter aims at box office.

With the current strength of Kuiguang Group, it will naturally not make art films anymore, but integrating elements of art films into commercial films can also be considered a kind of "fusion".

But in the final analysis, it is still a commercial film.

Qi Mu thought for a moment and replied, "Boss Yang, you can incorporate literary and artistic attributes into it, but it has to be classified as a commercial film anyway."

"It's okay." Yang Ruoqian didn't care much about this definition. He waved his hand and said, "Just combine their plans together. There shouldn't be any conflict, right?"

The secretary considered it carefully again, and her tone was rarely confused: "In theory, there is no conflict... Mr. Yang, are you going to adopt all their plans? Are you sure you don't want to take a look first?"

Yang Ruoqian fully understood the rule that the more projects he was involved in, the easier it would be to succeed. He shook his head and said, "No need to look at them. You are all old employees and old partners. I trust you."

These fresh bloods are different from some old stubborn people. They don’t have that kind of self-righteous sense of superiority, nor the arrogance that thinks “if the audience can’t understand my movie, it’s the audience’s fault, not my fault”.

The reason why Kuiguang Group’s films are so successful is that they “film what the audience wants to see” instead of just filming whatever they want and then letting the audience judge the films and TV shows they make as garbage.

These people are already so humble. If I say a few more words, they will only become less arrogant and study more about what the audience wants to see, which will further increase the financial pressure on Mr. Yang.

"Okay, Mr. Yang." Qi Mu nodded, "Then let's draft the script first, and then let the director choose the actors."

After saying this, Qi Mu did not turn around and leave, but waited for Yang Ruoqian's final confirmation.

Generally speaking, at this stage Yang Ruoqian would just nod and let the person go, but the secretary would still complete all the necessary procedures meticulously.

This time, Yang Ruoqian unexpectedly did not sign at this last step. Instead, he frowned and thought for a while, then said in an inquiring tone: "I think, should I show this script to Luo Ruying first?"

Luo Ruqin, who had not come out of the full projector but had been eavesdropping the entire time, spoke from the side: "Ah? Me?"

Yang Ruoqian glanced at Luo Ruying, then turned his gaze back to the secretary: "Luo Ruying herself is an artificial intelligence that integrates all kinds of entertainment industry knowledge. If she reads the script, maybe she can analyze something and match an actor suitable for this role."

The more people responsible for decision-making on a project, the more chaotic it will inevitably be.

How to shoot a movie is a very artistic and mysterious thing. A hundred people may come up with a hundred different answers. Before the final box office results are announced, these hundred different plans all seem to make sense in their own way, and have their own reasons and evidence to justify themselves.

But there are often only two or three correct answers.

With more decision makers, everyone's ideas are mixed into the movie, and in the end it will be a flop - a movie with internal chaos is almost bound to fail.

Now Yang Ruoqian suddenly had an idea to add another AI to this project, wouldn’t that make the project even more chaotic?
The crew is now full of prestige, and everyone is united in purpose. Mr. Yang can't do anything to sabotage it... But if we let Luo Ruyin, the rebellious son, join in, maybe it will have a miraculous effect!

Alas, making a movie is like making a spy film.

Actors only need to play their roles well, but it’s different for me as a boss. I have to consider too many things.
