I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 203
The release of "Drowning" received mixed reviews, but it did not affect the song's ranking at the top of the hot search list, becoming the hottest new Chinese song at the moment.

The release of "Drowning" this time, combined with the popularity of "I Remember", has completely attracted the attention of many people inside and outside the industry to Zhou Dingran's singing ability.

Following this, the speculation that Wu Xuefei, a contestant of "The King of Masked Singer" was recently exposed on the show, began to be mentioned by countless people.

In an instant, Fathead Fish's true identity was Zhou Dingran's rumored body.

Tianmang Media, General Manager’s Office.

Xiong Zhenghua looked at Huo Jingquan, his assistant Zhang Kun, and Chen Fengdan, who was a little embarrassed next to him, and said with squinted eyes: "The board of directors has just discussed whether to have a good relationship with Zhou Dingran at this stage, but before the result came out, I heard that Hong Shao Rong and Zhou Dingran co-produced a music video. I may be the last one to know about this news. Chen Fengdan, should you give me an explanation?"

Chen Fengdan said in a panic: "I told Shao Rong about the stakes, but she didn't listen and still stubbornly signed the contract with Zhou Dingran."

"How much did you pay for the performance?" Huo Jingquan asked, turning his head.

Chen Fengdan said helplessly: "One dollar."

Huo Jingquan sneered and said nothing.

Xiong Zhenghua said: "You are Hong Shaorong's agent. Logically speaking, all her personal actions in business should be approved by you. Major matters must be reported to me. Why don't you hide this matter?" Tell me?"

"I didn't intend to hide it. I just wanted to report it to you today, but I didn't expect that the MV Zhou Dingran shot yesterday would be released early this morning. It was too fast and didn't give me any time to react."

Chen Fengdan looked aggrieved: "And you said that I am Hong Shaorong's agent... But to be honest, my agent is actually similar to an assistant. I have no jurisdiction over all major projects. For example, yesterday I I strongly opposed Shao Rong's decision to shoot the MV, but she insisted on her own way and didn't listen to me at all. She also said that if I didn't agree, she would apply to the company to change her agent..."

As soon as these words came out, the entire office fell silent.

Xiong Zhenghua does have the idea of ​​​​changing Hong Shaorong's agent. At present, Chen Fengdan's personal ability cannot keep up with Hong Shaorong's development pace, so the company has begun to look for some well-known agents within the company or on the market for Hong Shaorong. people.

This super newcomer, whom the company plans to spend huge resources on cultivating, will naturally take the utmost care and love.

Chen Fengdan's departure is only a matter of time, but at present, it is time to put this matter on the agenda.

Xiong Zhenghua immediately waved his hand to let Chen Fengdan leave first, and then said to Huo Jingquan in the room: "You also heard what happened, what do you think?"

"I don't agree with the company's friendship with Zhou Dingran."

Huo Jingquan said: "No matter how capable he is, he is just a singer. Now he is popular, but he relies on five-star songwriters and Wenzhaogong. If we establish contact with Wenzhaogong and even sign Wenzhaogong, then Zhou Dingran does not have Wenzhaogong's works. The music industry can only be a dead end."

Xiong Zhenghua nodded and said, "Continue."

Huo Jingquan added: "As for Zhou Dingran's acting skills, judging from the news received so far, it is indeed pretty good, but good acting skills are not the criterion for whether an actor can rise. Although he currently has Chen Daozhou's support, as long as the company personally ends It is not impossible to mediate or directly restrict Zhou Dingran's activities. No matter how strong Chen Daozhou is, he is still like a fly on a tree in front of Tianmang."

"You missed the point."

Xiong Zhenghua shook his head and said: "The reason why the company did not move on Zhou Dingran is entirely because he is backed by Douyin, and now he is the anchor who brings goods to Douyin."

"I'm just an anchor, what's so great about it..."

Huo Jingquan's voice became softer as he spoke. The anchor is indeed nothing special, but Zhou Dingran is a delivery anchor, and he is also a super delivery anchor with as many as 2000 million fans and an average of 200 million people online per live broadcast.

A live broadcast sold goods worth 3.2 million!
With such data, even if the Uranus superstar sells goods, he may not be able to sell this data.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhou Dingran is highly praised by Douyin.

The strength of Douyin is absolutely different from that of Tianmang. Although the two are not in the same field, some new media companies that only rely on Douyin to survive are not much weaker than Tianmang.

Therefore, as long as Douyin supports him for a day, there is absolutely no possibility of Zhou Dingran being suppressed and taught a lesson.

In view of this, when the matter was mentioned at yesterday's regular meeting of Tianmang's board of directors, most of the directors adhered to the principle of "peace is the most important". Some of them even wanted Tianmang to take the initiative to contact Zhou Dingran to express goodwill and apologize for the past. He apologized for his recklessness to prevent the two families from getting further apart in the future and eventually becoming enemies.

Xiong Zhenghua didn't care too much about this, and even most of the directors didn't care much about it. But after learning that Hong Shaorong wanted to shoot the MV with Zhou Dingran despite her manager's objections, Xiong Zhenghua still felt a little uncomfortable.

It feels like a newly raised cabbage being bitten by a wild boar.

Under such circumstances, Xiong Zhenghua is still slightly inclined to stay away from Zhou Dingran until death.

The reason why Hong Shaorong was agreed to participate in the heroine of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" last time was mainly because he could insert some supporting roles in the drama. Even Xiong Zhenghua was also optimistic about the prospects of this sword-themed TV series produced by Majin Film and Television. , very optimistic.

First of all, Zhou Dingran is a very popular top star, and together with Chen Daozhou, who is like a needle in the sea, these two people alone can attract a lot of people's attention. In addition, with the joining of Majin Film and Television, which has always produced high-quality works, this film There is definitely a high chance that the TV series will be a hit.

The arrival of Hong Shaorong is not a help in times of need, but the icing on the cake.

So after careful consideration, Xiong Zhenghua agreed to Hong Shaorong getting the role of Zhao Ling'er, on the condition that several supporting roles with good roles in the play would all fall into the hands of Tianmang's actors.

For example, characters such as the Moon Worshiping Leader and the Fairy Guide Grandma.

This is the case with business transactions. As long as it is profitable, even former mortal enemies can turn into friends, cooperate together, and work together towards a better tomorrow.

"The relationship with Zhou Dingran is not easy to become tense."

Xiong Zhenghua said calmly: "There is no chance for him to trip up Tianmang. Even if he is the so-called six-time winner of "The King of Masked Singer", everything must be prepared for a rainy day, so you should find the contact information of Mr. Wenzhao as soon as possible. As long as he If the other party is interested, we can offer three or four times the price and sign him into the company at a high premium."

"Understood." Huo Jingquan nodded.

"If he is really the so-called six-time champion, then this kid's momentum may reach a higher level, and it will be even more impossible to touch him."

Xiong Zhenghua thought for a while and said: "In order to achieve such high ratings for Zhejiang Channel, Zhejiang Channel will treat him as a treasure. It is absolutely impossible for us to suppress his momentum, so at this stage , it is the most correct choice to make good friends with Zhou Dingran, even if we don’t make good friends, we must keep the relationship from deteriorating, do you understand?”

"clear."

Huo Jingquan nodded heavily. Although he felt a little unwilling to do so, the situation was stronger than the situation. He would not lose anything if he bowed his head appropriately.

Finally, Xiong Zhenghua looked at Zhang Kun, who was standing at the side.Zhang Kun is the manager assistant of Miracle Boys. He has outstanding abilities and can be regarded as Huo Jingquan's right-hand man. If he grows up for a few more years, it is not impossible for him to take charge of his own role. But now, Zhang Kun is not even a middle-level manager in Tianmang.

"Zhang Kun, I will give you a task. I will send you an address later. You can go there to visit a senior named Cheng Haitang and try to ask her to come out."

Xiong Zhenghua said: "Whether Cheng Haitang can become Hong Shaorong's new manager depends on you."

Cheng Haitang?
Zhang Kun was a little confused, but finally nodded: "Okay, Mr. Xiong, I will definitely take care of things for you."

After chatting for a while, Huo Jingquan and Zhang Kun left the general manager's office.

Zhang Kun took two steps forward and asked, "Brother Quan, who is Cheng Haitang? Do you know him?"

Huo Jingquan paused and chuckled, "You can find out by searching online."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kun immediately picked up his phone and started searching.

Soon, Cheng Haitang's information came into view.

The leading independent agent in China, with a huge agent team and connections, he used to be the director of Tianmang Artists Department. Later, because of his divorce from Xiong Zhenghua, Cheng Haitang and his team changed jobs. Later, he was sued by Tianmang due to the non-competition agreement. , the team was forced to disband.

"Cheng Haitang...is Mr. Xiong's ex-wife?"

Zhang Kun was stunned.

……

On the other hand, after Zhou Dingran recorded and uploaded "Drowning", he returned to the crew and started filming.

The life of the crew was relatively difficult, but they were focused on filming, so time passed very quickly, and two days passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, Zhou Dingran received another urging call from his assistant Jiang Xiaohong, asking Zhou Dingran to return to Beijing to live broadcast to bring goods, because five days had passed since the last live broadcast to bring goods. According to the previously signed agreement, Zhou Dingran was to conduct two live broadcasts a week. Bring goods.

But not long ago, Zhou Dingran applied to Zhenshijia to change the content of the agreement, reducing the original live broadcast of goods from twice a week to once a week, but the total quantity of goods carried remained unchanged.

The original four-hour live broadcast was directly extended to six hours.

After negotiation, Zhenshijia executives finally reluctantly agreed to this plan.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes. Although Zhou Dingran wrote the live broadcast time on his personal Douyin page, this time because he did not live broadcast according to the scheduled time, many fans urged Zhou Dingran to start the live broadcast in the comment area.

Many fans are addicted to buying products in the live broadcast room. Many people have accumulated all their original shopping needs and just want to wait for Zhou Dingran's live broadcast to buy everything.

Now that Zhou Dingran has changed the live broadcast time, many fans do not read the Douyin page and are unaware of it. This has caused the number of comments in the comment area of ​​the Douyin video "Drowning" to skyrocket, becoming the fastest-breaking number of comments in Zhou Dingran's Douyin career. Works with millions of comments.

Of course, this is due to the constant urging of fans in the live broadcast room, and there are also reasons why many Hong Shaorong fans are crazy about the screen, but more importantly, it is the recognition and discussion of the song "Drowning".

Even though countless professionals complained that the song was worthless, the song still became popular at a lightning speed. Any short video work that uses this song as background music will have higher views than others. A big chunk.

Even short videos with only text have a huge increase in traffic with the help of this background music.

With the huge traffic of new works, Zhou Dingran’s next live broadcast will definitely be very popular.

This is also the reason why Jiang Xiaohong keeps urging Zhou Dingran to come back and start the live broadcast.

However, it is true that live broadcasting is profitable, but the money is endless. Filming is Zhou Dingran's dream, so Zhou Dingran ignored it. However, when the invitation text for the ninth episode of "The King of Masked Singer" came, Zhou Dingran Come back from the addictive state on the set.

Tomorrow is the recording of the ninth episode.

In other words, tonight, the eighth episode of "The King of Masked Singer" will begin.

Zhou Dingran already knew the final result of the King of Singer Competition, but because he knew it, he understood that there would be a huge discussion frenzy on major social networking sites tonight.

Not to mention You Mingtong, the veteran singer, but just Pu Lanyu, a great figure who has been in the top 3 of the Chinese music scene for many years, will attract countless people to watch this program.

And when the audience discovered that Pu Lanyu's new song with Cao Zhan was defeated by "Actor" by 7 votes, the industry must have been in an uproar.

Zhou Dingran could already imagine the chaos in public opinion tonight.

Even Fathead Fish may be criticized for the first time, but Zhou Dingran doesn't care at all.

All he wants is that the song "Actor" can be heard by countless people, and then it will naturally become popular. In the previous life, when Xue Zhiqian relied on this song to skyrocket to [-] miles, Zhou Dingran was jealous.

He also wanted to feel what it felt like to take off.

So in the evening, Zhou Dingran put down all activities, squatted in the hotel room, turned on Zhejiang Satellite TV, and watched "The King of Masked Singer".

At the same time, viewers turned on the TV and watched "The Masked Singer" from all over the country.

Today, many people have become die-hard fans of Fathead Fish, and the name of Fathead Fish is also well-known across the country. On Haijiao.com, any song related to Fathead Fish is basically at the top of the hot song list.

Even the "Fat Head Fish Support Club" has come out. Dozens and hundreds of Fat Head Fish WeChat support groups, forums, etc. are constantly discussing the songs that Fat Head Fish has released in "The King of Masked Singer".

Every song has a huge audience.

Especially songs such as "The Way You Were" and "Blue Lotus" are simply powerful tools for attracting fans.

But even these die-hard fans who are crazy about Fathead Fish were stunned when they saw Fathead Fish beat Pu Lanyu's song "Don't Ask About the Return Date" with the song "Actor", and the relevant public opinion quickly caused an uproar on the entire Internet. .
