I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 213 "Oldboy" is a big hit

Because he already had the idea of ​​not renewing his contract with Zhenshijia after two years, in order to pave the way for his future, Zhou Dingran would occasionally care about the industry he held in his hands - Fanghua Entertainment.

In order to avoid risks, 90% of the shares of Fanghua Entertainment are currently in the name of his father Zhou Jixian, but the news that Mr. Wen Chao is the major shareholder of Fanghua Entertainment gradually became an open secret as the gossip leaked during this period.

So much so that even the singers and artists under Fanghua Entertainment can hold their heads high and straighten their backs when going out.

Among them, singer Shi Yu, who regained a foothold in the music scene and became famous with "Lanting Preface", is the representative. The market is very optimistic about Shi Yucheng. After all, the current major shareholder of Fanghua Entertainment is Wen Chao Gong, and Wen Chao Gong Just a few songs slipped through the cracks of his fingers, and it was enough for Shi Yucheng to become a five-star singer.

Prior to this, Shi Yucheng had already been promoted to a four-star singer with "Lanting Preface" and had a bright future. Some people even joked that even if Shi Yucheng lay flat in the future, this "Lanting Preface" alone would be enough for him to last a lifetime.

Zhou Dingran had also heard of this rumor, but he did not regret giving "Lanting Preface" to Shi Yucheng to sing. Any hindsight was meaningless. Before the system was upgraded, Zhou Dingran was very sure that he could not be a singer. Under the pressure of victory, the best result is to play the best cards in hand as soon as possible and earn enough popularity points.

Of course, Zhou Dingran now has master-level singing skills, and if there are similar top-level songs, he will naturally keep them to himself.

Currently, there are six officially signed artists under Fanghua Entertainment, including two actors, four singers, and [-] trainees. Basically, they will be put into the market after one to three months of training. The company does not have enough funds. , can't afford to support too many idle people.

These trainees are either sent to the crew to work their way up from the bottom, or they are sent to major talent shows to gradually gain popularity.

There are a total of twenty artists, but there are really not many who can catch Zhou Dingran's eyes. However, he also believes that God rewards hard work. As long as they work hard, even a little talent will not affect the future of these people. The domestic market is too huge. It can completely accommodate these people, and even some low-cost online dramas can be chosen by you.

But now that Zhou Dingran has taken over, after a little investigation, he will naturally promote these singers, actors and artists one by one.

At this time, general manager Wan He sent a message to Zhou Jixian, saying that Su Ke, the singer of "Under the Moon", intended to switch jobs to Fanghua Entertainment.

When the news reached Zhou Dingran, Zhou Dingran was stunned at first, and subconsciously wanted to refuse. After all, when he gave "Under the Moon" to Su Ke, he also wanted to realize his popularity as much as possible, so he randomly found this on the Internet. A qualified singer.

Although "Under the Moon" performed by Su Ke performed well, compared with other works under Wenzhao Gong's name, it can be said to be the least popular song, almost as popular as "Three Worships in the Red Dust". The song is also called Crouching Dragon and Phoenix.

But this has nothing to do with Su Ke. The upper limit of pure song quality is there, and no matter how good the singer is, he can't sing such a popular song.

However, Su Ke's version of "Under the Moon" has indeed become popular on Douyin in the past two or three months. Of course, this has something to do with Zhou Dingran's "Happy Dance of King Zhou", which has contributed to the huge popularity of the song itself. .

This is one of the reasons why Su Ke was able to receive a large number of commercial performance invitations in a short period of time.

However, due to the non-stop commercial performances, Su Ke's popularity has been greatly depleted. Many people even saw Su Ke singing "Under the Moon" at the opening ceremony of a real estate project in a small county town, which made many Wenzhaogong fans. Complaints are useless.

After all, it was the work of a top-notch lyricist, composer, and humanist, but now it appeared at the opening ceremony of a real estate project in a small county. It was really strange.

Su Ke is also the only singer in the country who can use the song "Under the Moon" for commercial performances. Things are rare and expensive, so a large number of invitations for commercial performances are pouring in.

However, after two or three months of consumption, Su Ke's popularity was almost completely destroyed.

Zhou Dingran had also seen a short video related to Su Ke singing "Under the Moon" at the opening ceremony of a supermarket. He didn't have much thought about it. It was easy to make money, so there was no shame in it, but he undoubtedly despised Su Ke in his heart.

Therefore, after working together once, the two had no contact for a long time.

Even the text messages Su Ke frequently sent to Wenzhao Gong, Zhou Dingran pretended not to have seen it. Not deleting each other was the greatest kindness he could do...

Now that he learned that Su Ke wanted to switch jobs to Fanghua, Zhou Dingran's first reaction was that he could sign or not. A singer like Su Ke was not in Zhou Dingran's plan to continue to cooperate, but the way the other party worked hard to make money was true. Zhou Dingran was deeply impressed.

No capitalist boss doesn’t want his employees to make money for him every day.

"I heard from Wan He that this singer named Su Ke took the initiative to contact Song Xinran, saying that there was no signing fee and that any conditions could be negotiated. She only had one request, that is, she wanted to be a real singer. Keep singing the songs you wrote.”

Zhou Jixian relayed the opinions of Fanghua Entertainment to his son on the video call: "Both Wan He and Song Xinran think they can sign because Su Ke is also a famous singer, and her signing requirements are very low or even non-existent. She just wants to sing again." A song by your Wen Chao Gong, saying that it was Wen Chao Gong who gave her the courage to continue being a singer."

"I think this little girl is quite good. She doesn't have any complicated ideas. She just wants to pursue her dream. However, her original company's vision was too narrow. She kept accepting commercial roles after becoming a little popular, which made her a bit unpopular. The reputation today seems to be somewhat polarized.”

When Zhou Dingran heard what his father said, he did not comment on Su Ke's matter. Instead, he asked with some surprise: "Dad, I feel like you are very concerned about the entertainment industry."

Zhou Jixian laughed and said: "After I found out that you were a famous copycat, I started to study the entertainment industry carefully, but I studied for a month and still couldn't understand all the details of the entertainment industry. It's really complicated."

Zhou Dingran smiled brightly. The entertainment industry was a big mess, and it was very complicated. If Zhou Jixian wanted to understand the twists and turns, he had to get involved himself, so he said, "Dad, why don't you resign and go to Fanghua Entertainment?" Are you going to work? You can be a vice president no problem."

"What?" Now it was Zhou Jixian's turn to be dumbfounded. This was a path he had never imagined, so he shook his head and said, "I'm a layman, forget it. My current job is pretty good and I'm very comfortable with it."

Zhou Jixian is now the editor-in-chief of "Yao Huo" magazine. The magazine's profit has been rising due to the serialization of "Qing Yu Nian". However, now on the Qidian Chinese website, the electronic version of "Qing Yu Nian" has been updated to millions of words, and "Yao Huo" "The serialization speed of "Demon Fire" is far slower than that of the electronic version, so most book fans who can't wait turn to the Qidian Chinese website for paid reading. If "Demon Fire" magazine is not said to be a wedding dress for others, it is almost the same.

But even so, the serial publications of "Demon Fire" are regarded as classics by many book fans, and the relevant issues are collected by some die-hard fans, which invisibly contributes to the performance of "Demon Fire" magazine.

"Dad, I'm serious. Your son is not short of money now, but he needs help. You don't have to be the vice president of Fanghua Entertainment, but you have to step out and help your son with some things, such as opening a copyright store. Operating company, help your son manage the copyright of these works."

Zhou Dingran said with a smile: "I will produce more and more works in the future. My current company is mainly responsible for my live broadcast content, and the copyright business of my works is firmly in my hands. At this stage, I don't have much energy to talk about it." Work copyright business, so dad, you better come out and help me!"

These words are not without purpose. The soundtrack and song copyright transactions of "Sword and Fairy" in the past few days are enough to affect Zhou Dingran's energy.

Wenzhao Gong's works can be said to be priceless in the market. 150 million yuan for a song is basically a bargain for a top five-star songwriter. You know, Fang Wenshan quoted 8000 yuan for each word, and a song cost 400 yuan. With five hundred words, one song, and just one lyric, you can make a whopping [-] to [-] million yuan.

In the same way, for a top songwriter like Wenzhao Gong, a song including lyrics and music can be sold for only 150 million, which is indeed almost a bargain.

Of course, there are only a few lyricists like Fang Wenshan who sell by word. Most of them sell by the entire lyric or song. A few lyrics cost 400 to 300 million, similar to what Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan jointly created. When the song "Little" was sold, including the lyrics and music together, it was only [-] million.

Even that one changed hands several times before it was finally taken over by diva singer Joey Yung.

But that was 2007 million in 300.

Zhou Dingran had already earned 1000 million by writing songs for the Fairy Sword crew. In addition, director Wang Sheng had already negotiated the price with Tianmang and Majin Film and Television, so he was too lazy to negotiate the price anymore, so he agreed to the price.

Under normal circumstances, as long as Wenzhao Gong spreads the news, the value of one of his songs will start at least around 300 million. If the quality is like "Lanting Preface", "Ordinary Road", etc., it is not impossible for the price to double.

Even if a famous song sells for 600 million, most singers will rush to buy it. After all, after taking off, you can use this song to commercialize and sell it. For example, Su Ke's initial offer was 70, and he performed eight or nine shows. You can earn back the copyright fees for buying songs.

And I can earn a masterpiece while lying down, why not do it?
Hearing Zhou Dingran's sincerity at this moment, Zhou Jixian hesitated and said, "Let me think about it again...Actually, I am worried about holding you back."

"Dad, your worries are not unreasonable. I can also find a headhunter to help me find a professional manager, but you are my father, and this is a relationship that no one can replace." Zhou Dingran said seriously: "I can rest assured I’ll give my back to you, but I don’t feel comfortable handing my back to anyone else.”

When Zhou Jixian heard this, a warm current surged in his heart, and he finally nodded and said: "Okay, dad will help you."

Zhou Dingran smiled and said: "That's right."

Immediately, Zhou Dingran formally talked about his plans for the future.

A media company was founded by Zhou Jixian, which mainly operates the copyright of various songs under the name of Wenzhao Gong, and the copyright of scripts under the name of Zhou Dingran. The company is 100% controlled by Zhou Jixian, and at the same time, some great managers are recruited through headhunting to assist Zhou Jixian in managing the company, and Give a certain percentage of option incentives.

Youth Entertainment is used to train and manage artists. Soon Youth Entertainment will be handed over to Liu Ruyan to lead the team personally. Judging from Liu Ruyan's background and ability, the three-year listing she promised should not be a problem.

By then, Zhou Dingran's contract at Zhenshijia will expire, and he will be able to join Fanghua Entertainment. Fanghua Entertainment, with Zhou Dingran and Wen Chaogong, is absolutely as valuable as the domestic first-tier media giants.

"IPO?" When Zhou Jixian heard this word, he felt a little dazed and pinched himself hard. Only then did he realize that this was not a dream.

After planning a big blueprint, Zhou Dingran returned to the topic, "Su Ke can sign, but the prerequisite is that she must accept high-intensity work."

If you want to go public, the interests and value of your artists' creation are also the pre-IPO inspection items. It does not mean that you have to take care of yourself after joining Fanghua Company. On the contrary, after joining Fanghua Company, you may participate more frequently than in the original company. Shang Yan said, "In return, I will write one to three songs for her every year based on market feedback. The contract period is ten years. As for the signing bonus, there will be no signing bonus. Artists signed in the future should also follow this standard. According to the process, even if a big-name artist wants to come in, there won’t be a penny of signing bonus to pay.”

This is Zhou Dingran's confidence. With the huge library of works in the system mall, Zhou Dingran is convinced that he can create a god out of thin air!

As long as his acting, singing and personal qualities are not bad to a certain extent, Zhou Dingran can completely use his resources to elevate this artist to the status of a god. In the same way, Zhou Dingran can also use these resources on himself and become the first to become a god!
After talking to Zhou Jixian for a long time, both father and son were excited about their future plans.

It wasn't until he hung up the phone that Zhou Jixian closed the laptop in front of him with hesitation, stood up, and looked out the window at the blue sky. The maple leaves on the roadside were falling rustily, but there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.

"Rufan, have you seen..."

……

On the other side, after Zhou Dingran talked to his father on the phone, he returned to the filming of "Sword and Fairy" again.

Yesterday’s live broadcast sales were also officially disclosed. Zhou Dingran’s total live broadcast sales were as high as 3.1 million yuan, which was almost the same as the expected amount. In terms of commissions received, even though there were several agricultural products without commissions, Zhou Dingran still received 5000. Two million yuan.

After excluding the 45% personal income tax, Zhou Dingran received 300 million.

"I'm tired, but it's really profitable to sell goods live!" Even though it was not the first time, Zhou Dingran was secretly stunned when he saw the amount of the share he received.

Thinking of the fact that so many popular celebrities in previous lives have gone on live broadcasts to bring goods, even Xiang Tai and Zhang Lan, who are already capitals, can't help but end up greedy, which is enough to get a glimpse of how big the profits are.

For example, some Internet celebrities such as Li Jiaqi and Crazy Young Brother have also gained billions of net worth due to their live broadcasts. They even held company concerts that invited Pu Shu, Zhang Xinzhe, etc. to perform, and the profits were indeed huge. People are jealous.

In his previous life, Zhou Dingran was jealous and his teeth were itching. In this life, he went there in person and felt it smelled really good!
A few days have passed, and the ninth episode of "The King of Masked Singer" has officially started.

At eight o'clock that night, when Zhejiang Satellite TV started broadcasting, the ratings started at 4%. In the second half, the ratings broke the record, reaching as high as 7%!

When the King of Singer competition began, the ratings rose again, reaching as high as 8.5%, beating all satellite TV channels, and even the ratings of CCTV [-] were left behind.

Apart from the Spring Festival Gala, "The King of Masked Singer" has the highest ratings among all major variety shows this year.

And when the ratings reached a peak of 8.5%, it was when Fathead Fish appeared.

When the song "Old Boy" spread across the country through televisions, online TV, etc., countless young and middle-aged people shed tears.

On various social platforms such as Weibo, Douyin, and Haijiao Forum, countless netizens communicated and expressed their love for this song.

"I cried my eyes out, I really cried my eyes out. I highly recommend another masterpiece "Old Boy" by Fathead Fish. It really makes me cry and I can't take care of myself!"

"This is a song dedicated to people who once had dreams, but were wiped out by the bitterness of life!"

"People who like to miss the past don't dare to listen, and they really burst into tears!"

"As you get closer to your dreams step by step, don't forget to look back at the stories that are about to fade away!"

"I stopped studying in junior high school before I graduated. I went out to work when I was 15. I haven't made a living in five years. The salary I got in January was not enough to support myself. Every year when I go home for the Chinese New Year, my parents always ask me if I am doing well outside. If I don’t have money, I ask them for it. Every time I hear this, I really don’t know what to say. I hung up the phone today and accidentally heard the song "Oldboy" on TV. It reminded me of the abortion my parents suffered because they didn’t go to school. Tears, thinking about going out to work and telling them that I will definitely live a better life than you, thinking about it, I shed tears..."

"I have reached the age that I envied when I was a child, but I have not been able to become the person I envied when I was a child..."

"Brothers, if you have nothing else to do, you can play this song and look at your parents' Moments until the end!"

"I played this song "Old Boy" backwards and backwards and listened to it more than a dozen times. I have experienced too much in my life. Listening to this song once, I burst into tears and couldn't control it..."

"Life is so difficult. I'm about to accept that I'm an ordinary person."

"Hey, what was your dream? I don't remember. Anyway, it wasn't about making money desperately."

"All boys' childhood dreams are not to buy a house in a certain city, right?"

"Brothers, don't mourn, go to sleep. There are four major happy events in life: being named on the gold medal list, the wedding night, the rain after a long drought, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land. If we come to this world, we will always meet a happy one! "

As the ninth episode of "The King of Masked Singer" ended, "Oldboy" became a complete hit and became popular all over the Internet with an unstoppable magic. Even the next day, it quickly became popular like a virus. Nationwide.

This song "Old Boy" is played almost everywhere in the streets and alleys of cities across the country.

This song was played in various public places, bus stations, subway stations, airports, schools and even fire station broadcasts. For a time, "Youth is like a flowing river. Once you go and never come back, there is no time to say goodbye" crazily swept into everyone's mind. Ears.

From last night to noon the next day, the song "Old Boy" was all in the top three search lists on Weibo, Douyin and Haijiao.com.

Countless people, both men and women, resonate with the song "Oldboy" on the Internet.

Its popularity is more popular and more discussed than "The Ordinary Road" and "The Past You" which were once popular all over the Internet.

So much so that when Zhou Dingran was on the set, he saw the crew discussing "Oldboy" enthusiastically.

"After work, call it a day and go to the KTV to sing "Old Boy". My treat!"

"You can't sing "Old Boy", you can only shout, otherwise you will burst into tears!"

"The Fathead Fish is really amazing. I burst into tears when I listened to the song for the first time. I almost fainted from crying when I watched it live on TV last night!"

"This song is already my ringtone."

“My alarm clock is set to ‘Oldboy’ when I wake up!”

"It's hard to be young again in life. This song is good, but dwelling on the past is not a good thing either."

"I really miss the life of hanging out with my good friends when I was a student!"

"Hey, tell me, is Fathead Fish really Zhou Dingran? I heard that their singing voices are quite similar."

"What does it look like? The fat-headed fish beat Zhou Dingran eighteen blocks away!"

"It's just that Zhou Dingran is not 20 years old, right? He is just a little kid, and his acting skills are a little better. In terms of singing skills and flattery, he can't keep up with the fat-headed fish. I really don't know what the people on the Internet are talking about, such an obvious thing. I can’t even see it, I’m blind!”

"It's just hype! You know!"

Zhou Dingran listened with interest, until he heard the last few words, his whole body felt bad.

What's going on? Should I abandon myself for eighteen blocks?
He couldn't laugh or cry, and suddenly coughed loudly twice, and then the group of crew members fell silent instantly. They turned around to see Zhou Dingran, each laughed a few times, and then dispersed.

"You boy, you are amazing!"

At this time, Lu Tao came over, patted Zhou Dingran on the shoulder, and praised: "You sang "Old Boy" really well. For this song, I will ask you to wash your feet tonight."

"Wash your feet again?"

Zhou Dingran was speechless. In the past few days, Lu Tao wanted to drag Zhou Dingran to go surfing in the big waves as soon as he finished work.

Zhou Dingran listened to the advice and went there once. As a result, the entire foot-washing city was a sensation. Beautiful technicians from all over the world lined up to serve Zhou Dingran. They also gave free back oil massage services. Lu Tao drooled with envy, and returned the massage when checking out Directly discounted by [-]%.

Then Lu Tao became addicted, and before finishing work every day, he would say to Zhou Dingran with excitement: "I'll ask you to wash your feet tonight!"

Bah, are you asking for it?
It’s a waste of money!
This time he came again, but Zhou Dingran refused directly without discussion.

To be honest, the technician sister in Dalang Taosha is indeed beautiful, with a great figure and young age, and there are even some female college students who have broken dreams of becoming actors, but Zhou Dingran is already a person who has escaped from low-level tastes, and naturally he disdains to join in the same trend.
