I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 224 Spring Festival Gala

Witnessing this scene, Wang Xinyi was completely shocked. He did not expect that Huang Yuting would actually kneel down, and he did not expect that Huo Jingquan would actually completely succumb to Zhou Dingran in order to get Zhou Dingran's forgiveness.

He had mixed feelings in his heart. When he looked at Zhou Dingran, he felt that he was extremely strange.

At this moment, Huang Yuting was sitting on the ground, her face slightly pale, like a frightened rabbit, with a look of panic on her face: "Brother Quan, Brother Ran, I have publicly apologized, and I will not receive the punishment I deserve." I have already endured it all, the heroines of the two dramas I originally had were taken away, isn’t this punishment enough?”

"Whether it's enough or not depends on Dingran's intention."

Huo Jingquan said harshly, but with a smile on his face when he looked at Zhou Dingran: "Dingran, let her kneel down as much as you want. When your anger subsides, let her get up again."

His face was full of ingratiation, even his expression was almost flattering.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dingran said calmly: "I want you to kneel down."

Shock flashed across the faces of Huang Yuting and Wang Xinyi.

Huo Jingquan's smile also froze, and his face looked uncertain. But the next moment, he suddenly smiled and slowly bent his knees and knelt on the ground.

Then he looked at Zhou Dingran in a flattering manner: "Dingran, you see, we are old colleagues who have worked together for two years. I will listen to you and kneel down to apologize to you. How about we just let this matter go?"

Seeing that the other party actually knelt down, Zhou Dingran was a little surprised.

However, according to Huo Jingquan's character in his memory, this person will definitely retaliate. The insult he received today will be repaid tenfold by others.

But the way to subdue such a person is equally simple, that is, to be stronger than the opponent.

In a word, a good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others.

"This is the entertainment industry."

Zhou Dingran sighed, stood up, and formally stated his conditions: "I only have two demands. First, Tianmang headquarters issues an apology letter to the entire network, admits his fault, explains the incident in detail, and cannot hide anything. ."

"Second, compensate me for the loss of my personal honor by five million yuan."

Zhou Dingran's words were so loud that Huo Jingquan was stunned for a moment.

First of all, although five million yuan is not a lot, it is definitely a lot. Even if the court awards compensation for this type of reputation damage case, it will never be such a large amount, and even half a million yuan cannot be used up.

Secondly, it is even more unbelievable for the company to issue an apology letter to the entire network and explain the whole process of the "top-level sexual harassment case". It is even more outrageous than asking for compensation of five million yuan. After all, Tianmang is a listed company. Once this scandal is revealed, If it is made public, an even bigger storm will be waiting for them.

"In terms of compensation, I can apply to the higher authorities, and it won't be a big problem."

Huo Jingquan stood up and said: "But to be honest, it is really difficult for the company to publish an apology letter to the entire network. Tianmang is a listed company, and every move affects the rise and fall of the stock price. The board of directors will not Agree to this condition."

"Oh? Then there's no need to talk." Zhou Dingran nodded and turned to leave.

However, Wang Xinyi stepped forward to persuade him with kind words: "Dingran, don't be anxious. If you have something to say, talk slowly. Brother Quan is sincerely asking for your forgiveness. If there are any differences, we can sit down and discuss them together."

Zhou Dingran paused and looked at Wang Xinyi, "My request is that simple. As for whether you can do it or not, that's your business. I'm not threatening you."

Wang Xinyi was stunned. He originally thought that he had some thin face in front of Zhou Dingran, but now it seems that this face seems to be a bit too thin.

When Huo Jingquan saw this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Dingran, why don't you listen to my compensation plan?"

Without waiting for Zhou Dingran to refuse, he immediately said as fast as he could: "First, I will issue an apology letter to the entire network in my own name and compensate you five million yuan; second, put Huang Yuting on the domestic entertainment blacklist , for a period of three years, during which the company will send her to countries such as Japan and South Korea for development; third, you can choose three of the movies and TV series produced by Tianmang to be the leading actor; fourth, the company invites many actors including Ou Tianming A five-star songwriter has created at least three five-star songs for you, what do you think?"

Zhou Dingran raised his eyebrows.

To be honest, the plans listed by Huo Jingquan were indeed rich, and even made him a little moved.

It seems that in the eyes of Tianmang's senior management, Tianmang's honor is more important than anything else.

Zhou Dingran was not ignorant of flexibility, but he was more curious about why Tianmang was willing to spend so much blood to please himself.

Seemingly seeing Zhou Dingran's confusion, Huo Jingquan explained with a wry smile: "Tianmang's stock price has fallen by nearly 10%, and its market value has evaporated by more than three billion. The market's expectations for Tianmang have been greatly reduced. The company can't wait any longer. I can only win over you through pain and blood."

Zhou Dingran pondered for a while. To be honest, he didn't understand why Tianmang's stock price dropped so sharply.

Just because his identity as a fat-headed fish was exposed?

What Zhou Dingran didn't know was that the market changes were really like this.

The popularity of Fat-headed Fish in "The King of Masked Singer" is only one of them. No matter how popular Fat-headed Fish is, it is only an individual and cannot affect Tianmang's development at all.

But the fat-headed fish is Zhou Dingran, and the feud between Zhou Dingran and Tianmang can be turned into a TV series.

Behind Zhou Dingran stood two super bosses.

One is Chen Daozhou, a professor of the performance department who teaches and educates people at Nortel.

The other one is a top five-star songwriter, composer and humanities copycat who can make three rounds in the industry with just a tap of his feet.

Judging from the intensity with which Wen Chao Gong supported Zhou Dingran in winning eight crowns, the relationship between the two is definitely extraordinary.

When Tianmang signed five-star songwriter Ou Tianming, Tianmang's market value increased by 20%.

Now that they have offended the alliance of "Zhou Dingran, Wen Chao Gong, and Chen Daozhou", the blow will be huge.

First of all, in the music world, if Wen Chao Gong still supports Zhou Dingran, then Zhou Dingran can attack Tianmang's singers. This alone is like a bottleneck and makes people uncomfortable.

No matter how good a singer is, he can't withstand the hardships. When releasing a new single or album, who would want to encounter the combination of Zhou Dingran and Wen Chaogong?

There is really no living space that can be squeezed.

So when the identity of Fathead Fish was exposed, the market feedback came in a timely manner. Of course, there were also fans of Fathead Fish who ridiculed Tianmang on the Internet.

A quasi-king-level singer was let go by your short-sighted management.

This is definitely a major decision-making error.

If Zhou Dingran is still with Tianmang, with his current achievements and future potential, it will not be a problem for Tianmang's market value to double.

But now, everything is in vain.

"One more."

Zhou Dingran raised his head and said, "Help me get a spot for the Spring Festival Gala."

"what?"

Huo Jingquan was stunned. He thought he had heard correctly. When he was convinced that he had heard correctly, he touched his nose and said in a dumbfounded voice: "Dingran, there is nothing the company can do to help with this matter. The nature of the Spring Festival Gala is special and no amount of capital can help." Ranzhi, if you want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, you can only rely on the true ability of an individual or a team."

Zhou Dingran said: "Oh? That's it, then I don't agree with your plan."

The nature of the Spring Festival Gala is indeed very special, but it is not without shortcuts. At least when Zhou Dingran was at Tianmang, he witnessed at least two artists appearing on the Spring Festival Gala under Tianmang's operation.

Of course, there is also the reason why the performances performed by the artists are impressive enough, but there are so many strange people in the world, and people with unique skills abound, so why are only those two people able to appear on the Spring Festival Gala?

Some of them said this.

In fact, for a long time, the Spring Festival Gala was held based on fiduciary relationships and favors. Later, it was impossible to find reliable programs, so the Spring Festival Gala began to openly select programs.

The current process is that the collection, selection, and selection of creative plans for the party are all conducted in an open, fair, and impartial manner.

Each local station reports a plan and selects a program. It is ultimately reviewed by an expert group and enriched into the overall plan of CCTV Spring Festival Gala. It is announced at the appropriate time and is subject to social supervision in real time.

Therefore, the number of related backdoor cases has been greatly reduced.

Now it is even more difficult to push people in, so we can only declare through the local station.

As for Beijing-based artists who want to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, in addition to applying for TV programs from their place of origin, they can also run for programs on Peking TV Station.

Of course, in addition, some art troupe artists who want to participate in the Spring Festival Gala can also participate in the name of the army.

In short, at this stage, even the chief director cannot make the final decision regarding the appointment of artists. The entire Spring Festival Gala directing team must collectively agree.

It is easy to bribe a general director, but it is definitely not easy to bribe the planners of various program types in the directing group.

Huo Jingquan took two deep breaths, hesitation flashed across his face, and then he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Although I can't 100% let you appear on the Spring Festival Gala, with the results you have achieved this year, if I ask Wenzhao Gong to help you write a top song, You might have the opportunity to appear on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and the company will find ways to assist you to make the process easier."

At this time, Zhou Dingran's cell phone rang. After taking a look, he waved his hands to several people and said, "Okay, let's leave it like that."

He looked at Huang Yuting, who was still kneeling on the ground, and found that her current state was quite miserable, so he clicked his tongue: "What are you doing at a young age? You are following others' wrong ways, but you are still a student of Nortel."

After saying that, he turned around and left without any intention of continuing to reminisce with a few people.

Huo Jingquan looked at Zhou Dingran's quickly leaving back. After being stunned for a moment, he turned around and asked, "Did he agree?"

"It should be agreed." Wang Xinyi said with some uncertainty.

Huang Yuting stood up at this time, rubbed her red and swollen knees, and asked in confusion: "What should I do next?" Huo Jingquan ignored Huang Yuting, but quickly picked up the phone and informed General Manager Xiong Zhenghua. Everything that happened here.

After hearing this, Xiong Zhenghua nodded and said: "Except for the Spring Festival Gala, which is a bit tricky, all other conditions can be agreed. In order to prevent accidents, you immediately drafted the agreement and asked Zhou Dingran to sign it. Then you immediately posted a written apology on Weibo. The key point is that we have obtained Zhou Dingran’s understanding! Do you understand?”

Huo Jingquan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Understood!"

Xiong Zhenghua hummed and said, "I will ask the company's official Weibo to repost it, which also reflects our sincerity."

Huo Jingquan hesitated: "This can really stop the stock price from falling further."

"Of course not."

Xiong Zhenghua sighed: "Your apology letter is just a pretext. The company has prepared some cash flow and will buy it immediately after the market opens tomorrow to increase the stock price. This time the loss is really big. Alas, at the beginning Why didn’t you discover Zhou Dingran’s talent?”

Huo Jingquan couldn't help but shuddered when he thought of Zhou Dingran's cold look at people just now, and said: "Not only did I not notice it, but everyone also didn't notice it. After he left Tianmang, his whole person seemed to have unlocked the seal. , even until the last moment, I couldn’t believe that he was the fat-headed fish.”

Yes!

Even though the outside world had already spread the rumors, until the last moment, there were still countless people who didn't believe that Zhou Dingran was the fat-headed fish.

Because it’s so subversive!

……

On the other side, Zhou Dingran answered the phone, walked out of the set, and met his agent Liu Ruyan.

"The company sent a message asking you to do a live broadcast tomorrow to bring goods. The product commissions of all brands can be increased to a minimum of 30 points."

Liu Ruyan said solemnly: "The trees are as beautiful as the forest, and the wind will destroy them. Do you want to refuse? I'm afraid you can't control yourself and say the wrong thing."

Zhou Dingran pinched his chin and looked thoughtful.

Obviously, Zhenshijia is covetous of Zhou Dingran's own traffic. The finals ended last night and when the live broadcast started, the number of people online exceeded 8 million. This is quite explosive in the entire Douyin live broadcast industry, except for some really big superstars. , or official organizations, such as the People's Daily, etc., it is impossible for others to have such data.

Zhou Dingran's live broadcast can have such data only because it was the end of the fifth season of "The King of Masked Singer". The popularity of Fathead Fish exploded, and the audience on the TV platform transferred to Zhou Dingran's live broadcast room. This is why there is such amazing data.

If Zhou Dingran is asked to live broadcast today, the data will definitely not be so exaggerated.

But even so, with the aftermath of such popularity, it is easy for Zhou Dingran's live broadcast room to reach 3 million people.

"open it."

Zhou Dingran promised: "I will control myself and only bring goods, not nonsense."

He also wants to earn enough money to film the TV series "Celebrating More Than Years". It is always right to broadcast more shows, and the popularity is indeed very high now. The data of live broadcast sales will definitely be very eye-catching, and the income it will bring will also be There will definitely be an increase.

Seeing Zhou Dingran agree, Liu Ruyan immediately called the live broadcast studio in Beijing and started asking them to choose the products to be sold during tomorrow's live broadcast.

After the call ended, Zhou Dingran relayed the news that Huo Jingquan had just come to him to apologize. When he heard Zhou Dingran asked to go to the Spring Festival Gala, Liu Ruyan's eyes looked strange: "You want to go to the Spring Festival Gala?"

"I think so." Zhou Dingran nodded.

The Spring Festival Gala is the largest and most watched gala in the world. Zhou Dingran has gained a lot of favorability through "The King of Masked Singer". At least in the field of music, he is already known by most people, and it is difficult for him to do so. Gain more favorability points in this field.

He must open up the market and go to a bigger stage.

The Spring Festival Gala is undoubtedly the first choice.

"To be honest, you don't have much hope of attending the Spring Festival Gala this year. Even if Tianmang really helps, you don't have much chance."

Liu Ruyan said: "You have risen too quickly and your foundation is too shallow. Although "The King of Masked Singer" is a sensation in the music world, for the big bosses of the Spring Festival Gala, they will never look at your remarkable features. , they only look at programs and works. No matter how popular you are, if you don’t have top-notch works, you won’t be accepted by the Spring Festival Gala. Similarly, even if you are an amateur, as long as you have unique skills, your chances of entering the Spring Festival Gala will be greatly increased.”

"Good work?"

Zhou Dingran rubbed his chin. He felt that it might not be difficult for him to appear on the Spring Festival Gala. After all, the system had such a huge library of works. Whatever works the Spring Festival Gala program team wanted, he would have to spend a lot of money to buy them!

As soon as he said it, Zhou Dingran began to carefully search for information about the New Year's Gala.

The New Year and Spring Festival Gala program team was officially established as early as the end of last month, and has begun soliciting various program works from across the country and even the world.

The main theme of this Spring Festival Gala program is to highlight Chinese elements, national characteristics, regional culture and the beauty of the world's colorful civilizations, etc.

Especially in the past half month, it is rumored that the Spring Festival Gala program team has been meeting almost every day, actively creating new sketches, new dances, new songs, new acrobatics, and new cross talk for the Spring Festival Gala.

Zhou Dingran's most eye-catching identity right now is that of a singer, so he focuses on the new songs column.

Of course, Zhou Dingran is also a master in dance. His moonwalk is still popular in the hip-hop circle and is believed and worshiped by countless dancers. But the new dance mentioned here definitely does not refer to street dance, but to folk dance.

So Zhou Dingran has no chance.

He could only bet on songs.

"Chinese elements……"

Zhou Dingran's eyes lit up slightly, feeling that he might actually have something to play for.

That night, he began to search for traces of related works in the system's massive library of works.

At the same time, the hot search list on Weibo was also buzzing with excitement.

The "King of Masked Singer" program team released a clip related to the show about Fat-headed Fish Revealing his face. The number of views exceeded 200 million, and related hot search terms such as "Fat-Headed Fish Revealing", "Eight-Crown Champion" and "Zhou Dingran" were directly listed on the hot topics. Search the list for a day and a night.

At the same time, the hot search term "Huang Yuting apologizes again" remained high, and it was in the top ten of the hot search list all day long. At nine o'clock in the evening, Huo Jingquan, the current manager of the Miracle Boys, wrote a handwritten letter In this way, he published a separate letter of apology to "Zhou Dingran" on his personal Weibo, Douyin and other major social platforms.

The letter contains nearly a thousand words, all of which are filled with regret for "misjudgment" of Zhou Dingran. He believed that he was negligent in transferring Zhou Dingran, a "unparalleled genius", from the team. In short, he took all the blame. On his own body, he also made a public personal promise to compensate Zhou Dingran for five million yuan in reputational damage.

Tianmang’s official Weibo also quickly forwarded it.

Under the guidance of some people, many netizens were surprised by such a huge compensation and believed that Tianmang and Huo Jingquan were sincere.

As a result, the condemnation from public opinion quickly eased a lot.

Some people even said in a weird way that if I can get five million yuan in damages for honor, then please trample my honor to the ground.

After Zhou Dingran learned the news, he immediately asked Jiang Xiaohong to post a response on Weibo on his behalf: "I will donate all the 5 million yuan in reputational damage fees to charity."

This response was appreciated by everyone and averted a storm.

On the other hand, Huang Yuting also posted a letter of repentance on Weibo again. After apologizing to Zhou Dingran and the majority of netizens who were hurt, she announced that she would temporarily cease all personal activities and go overseas to concentrate on her studies.

As for the leading actors in the three movies and TV series promised by Tianmang, as well as the three five-star songs, they are all written in the agreement and are limited to two years. The specific content has not been announced.

At this point, Tianmang also paid a huge price and finally gained Zhou Dingran's understanding, announcing to the outside world that they would shake hands and make peace, and that they would cooperate with multiple companies in the future.

But actually?

Both Tianmang and Zhou Dingran knew very well that the rift between the two could never disappear. It was all because of interests, which brought the two sides together again.

The reason why Zhou Dingran agreed to a superficial reconciliation was because he knew that this short-lived turmoil would not be able to do anything against the big ship Tianmang.

Even if he does not accept the settlement, at most the relevant responsible persons will be removed from their responsibilities. With this series of transactions, Tianmang's stock price will slowly rise to a high level under the manipulation of capital.

Every listed company cannot be underestimated. They have many ways to stabilize their stock prices.

as predicted.

Early the next morning, all the negative news about Tianmang disappeared from the major search lists.

At the same time, the stock price, which originally fell below 10%, opened sharply up 5% this morning, and as time passed, it had risen to 8% before the close of the day, almost pulling up all the lost stock prices. return.

Zhou Dingran is not surprised by this. How could a top 3 giant company in the industry be hurt by this turmoil?

He just secretly regretted that he didn't make a move in time. Before the stock price hit the limit last night, he bought it like crazy and waited until today and tomorrow to sell it. He might earn tens of millions in an instant.

Of course this is all hindsight.

He doesn't pay attention to the stock market at all, how could he detect such an opportunity.

After a night of selection in the system mall's library, Zhou Dingran also spent a lot of money and successfully redeemed a song. When he asked for leave today and returned to Beijing to live broadcast, he recorded the song demo, and then asked Liu Ruyan to use his connections. , submitted to Beijing TV Station.

This song was submitted to Beijing TV Station. After being reviewed by Beijing TV Station, it will be submitted to the Spring Festival Gala program team for further review.

After passing, you will have the opportunity to go to the Spring Festival Gala program group to rehearse. After the rehearsal quality is qualified, there will be a second rehearsal and a third rehearsal. It will not be until the end of the three rehearsals that you will get a reply from the Spring Festival Gala program group whether it has been eliminated.

If you advance, you will reach the top in one step and officially enter the Spring Festival Gala program group.

If you are eliminated, you will be sent back to the local TV station.

If the Spring Festival Gala program team of local TV stations thinks your program is good, they will be included in the local Spring Festival Gala.

Otherwise, just "die on the spot".
