Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

Chapter 159 Two trump cards in hand
"Well, your idea is quite good!"

Gu Ming nodded with satisfaction.

Especially the views on ringtones.

It's indeed an outlet.

The emergence of CRBT has made the music market boom again, and many songs have made a lot of money through CRBT.

Of course, what followed was the popularity of mp3, mp4, and pirated music on the Internet.

It can be said that it directly paralyzed the record industry.

But isn’t this, as Li Xiaoping said, just circumventing Daystar’s shortcomings?
"no!"

Gu Ming shook his head secretly, "You can't start from scratch."

"In that case, what can we, Daystar, do to attract singers and creators? After all, our background in the music industry is almost zero."

"When we finally build up the foundation, Cailing's popularity may have passed in the end."

"It's better to find a suitable medium-sized music company and buy it directly as a subsidiary."

"I'll leave this to you."

Gu Ming looked at Li Xiaoping.

But he saw that Li Xiaoping couldn't even hide the smile on her face.

"Knew you would agree."

"I had people do a checkup in advance, and finally contacted me and found out that the one I was willing to sell to was the Warring States Music Company."

Li Xiaoping picked up the file bag in her hand, pulled out the documents inside, and handed it to Gu Ming.

While letting Gu Ming watch, he explained.

"The boss of Warring States Music is a man named Yuan Tao. He founded Warring States Music in 1999 and then successfully discovered a group, Yu Quan."

"It can now be said that they are the number one male singer group in the country."

"Oh." Gu Ming quickly read through the information.

I actually found some information about this Yuan Tao from the memory in my mind.

This seems to be the boss of Huayi Music Company in his previous life.

In 04, Warring States Music was sold to Huayi for 3000 million, and Huayi used this as a basis to develop the music market.

Damn it, why is it that Hu Huayi was cut off again?

Lao Wang!Sorry for you.

I came first.

Since this was suitable, Gu Ming really didn't want to look for it anymore, so he just shared the file and said, "How much is it."

"I tried my best to lower the price, but it still cost 3000 million."

"Buy it and let Yuan Tao be the boss for five years."

"Don't you investigate carefully?" Li Xiaoping was a little surprised. Gu Ming trusted her so much?An investment of tens of millions was decided at once?

"You think I don't understand the situation of this company?" Gu Ming glanced at Li Xiaoping and gave her a look that created an unfathomable feeling.

As for investigating carefully.

Really unnecessary.

no way.

Who would have known that in the previous life, Huayi would acquire it for almost the same price a year later.

Based on this alone, he knew that Li Xiaoping was not lying to him.

As for whether the price can be further suppressed, how many days will it take?How much can it be suppressed? It will last for 200 million.

It is better to finalize it as soon as possible, or to rush into the ringtone market as soon as possible and be a pioneer to take the first bite of meat. The time cost is more than the 200 million.

One wants to sell, the other wants to buy, and since it is not a listed company, there are not so many twists and turns. In addition, there is plenty of cash on the books, which is commonly known as strong wealth.

Then the transaction went smoothly.

Warring States Music was acquired and renamed Daystar Music Company, becoming another subsidiary of Daystar.

Yu Quan and a musician named Huang Zheng switched to Daystar.

As for Yuan Tao, he has also joined Daystar and will serve as the CEO of Daystar Music Company.

Gu Ming personally attended the acquisition ceremony and met Yuan Tao, the man who would be the sole leader under Daystar in the future.

This is a tall and handsome man with long hair, oval black-rimmed glasses, and a musical style.

"Director Gu, I have admired you for a long time."

"I've watched basically all of your later movies, and I have to say that the soundtracks in them are really excellent."

"Haha, when the movie needs soundtrack in the future, you will need fire support!" Gu Ming smiled and nodded, "From now on, you will be a member of the company. If you have any difficulties or need anything, you can talk to me and Mr. Li." explain."

"learn."

"By the way, I have three people here. You go and sign them as soon as possible. If necessary, you can bid higher. Even if this is the first task given to you after joining Daystar."

"Do not let me down."

As he spoke, Gu Ming asked his assistant to take a pen and paper and wrote down the man, the location and current situation of the pair.

……

Western Regions.

On a bus, Luo Lin came out to join the society before graduating from junior high school. Even now, the 33-year-old Luo Lin still doesn't know where he will go in his thirties.

He loves music and once worked as a keyboard player in a band.

But at that time, the poor were almost unable to open the pot.

When the first child was sixty days old, his wife ran away.

Later I met my current wife, but I still couldn't give her a better life.

An album was released the year before last, but it only sold over 2000 copies.

Until now, his songs cannot even be exported to the Western Regions.

He doesn't want to be so popular, but at least his wife and children can have enough food and clothing, and don't have to worry about money anymore, right? "We're here on the eighth floor!" a voice sounded.

Luo Lin got off the No. 2 bus he had taken countless times and walked familiarly back to the house he rented nearby.

As he got closer to his residence, all his previous worries disappeared, and his mind was filled with his wife and children at home.

But when he walked home, he found that there was a man in the house.

It's two men.

"What is this?" He looked at his wife.

"Hello! Luo Lin, right?"

One of the male protagonists stood up and extended his hand, "We are from Daystar Music Company."

"I've heard of Daystar. It's the one who makes TV and movies. It's quite big, but a music company?" Luo Lin frowned, why hadn't he heard of it?

"Oh, we are originally from Warring States Music, and we were just acquired by Daystar and became its subsidiary."

"I came to you because I want to sign you as a singer under our company, and then package you and promote you to fans across the country."

"Sorry, I have a company for the time being." Luo Lin is now working as a music director in a company. His boss treats him quite well, and he cannot be ungrateful.

"Don't refuse in a hurry!"

"You can resign first and then sign with our company. I think you should not refuse."

"Because we come with sincerity."

The man who spoke waved his hand, and the other man immediately picked up the box in his hand and opened it. Inside was a pile of red hundred-dollar bills.

"Sign the contract, the signing fee of 50 yuan! It's yours."

I originally planned to use a check, but a check is not as convincing as cash!

This one still has a visual impact.

Luo Lin's breathing was even more rapid.

50 million!
This is a figure that many ordinary people cannot earn in their lifetime, but he can have it just by signing a contract?

For a moment, Luo Lin felt that the two people in front of him were liars.

But if you look at the money, it can't be faked. Which film would spend such a huge amount of money?
Is he worth that much money?

"Give me a day."

On this day, he went to the Internet cafe to check out Daystar's recent acquisition of Warring States Entertainment, which was reported on several major websites.

Look at Gu Ming on the photo.

He made a decision.

Although it was a bit unkind, Venus gave too much.

He didn't even hide it from his current boss.

After the other party knew about it, he immediately laughed and even supported Luo Lin to do this, "That's a big company! If you can come up with 50 yuan, it also values ​​you very much. You go and work hard, and then you will become famous." Just forget about me as a friend."

"No!" Luo Lin nodded solemnly.

I left the company I had worked for for many years and signed my name on the contract.

At the same time, he also has a stage name that he just adopted a few years ago, Daolang.

……

SAR has such a combination.

It was founded by the artistic director of a dance hall and the resident singer. At the beginning, there was one person, and the three of them formed a group called "Fa Nerve".

Later that person quit, and the name of the group was changed to "Kuhuo Group", which means cool and hot.

But cool is cool. After performing for so many years, they are still not popular.

That's it, let's just mix it up.

After the performance, Linghua and Zeng Yi went to meet a music producer named He Muyang.

This music producer from Shonan decided to compose a song for Linghua after he accidentally heard Linghua's voice.

It hasn’t been compiled yet, but the title is confirmed, it’s called “Above the Moon.”

But what they didn't expect was that in addition to He Muyang, this group also met two strangers.

"This is someone from Daystar Music Company. He is also a friend of mine. They want to sign you." He Muyang said to Linghua with a smile.

"Ah?" Linghua subconsciously moved towards Zeng Yi, "No, we are a team. If you want to sign, just sign them all, or don't sign at all."

"We just want to sign everything!"

"Look at you, people are misunderstanding you." The representative sent by Daystar presented the agreement and 50 in cash.

"The signing fee of 50 yuan is for your combination. How can we divide it between the two of you?"

"But it needs to be signed for a longer period of time, ten years, with a guaranteed salary of [-] per person per month, [-]% for other income, and [-]% for the company."

"Don't worry, although our company is new, the head office is the largest film and television company in the country. Gu Ming knows that, right? That's the boss. He can earn hundreds of millions from making a movie and has strong financial resources. Don't worry that we won't grow. Motivation, don’t worry that I won’t praise you.”

"Let's sign!" After the two of them looked at each other, they decided to sign and end the days of running around doing business and performing without any support.

"Okay, in addition, Mr. Gu from the head office has come up with a new name for you. He said this. Since it is a combination of a man and a woman, let's call it Phoenix Legend."

……

Beijing.

I received a call and learned that Daystar Music Company had signed two trump cards, Daolang and Phoenix Legend.

Gu Ming couldn't help but smile.

There is a male singer and a duo that have been popular for more than 20 years.

Daystar Music Company is stable!
"Old Gu?" Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun were right in front of Gu Ming, preparing to perform with cards to compete for the role in "Now You See Me", when they saw Gu Ming suddenly become happy.

The fun didn't stop, it lasted almost half a minute.

"Oh, it's okay. You two can start and perform together!" Gu Ming stopped laughing and raised his hand.
