This star’s style is wrong

Originally, the competition between Chaoyin Culture and Fang Xing was not that fierce.

Although on the music charts, Glacier Group and SPK were defeated by Fang Xing many times, and even the TV series starring Li Siqi also failed.

But in fact, Chaoyin Culture and Fang Xing were not on the same track before, and they only occasionally competed in music.

For Chaoyin culture, they are not making music, but promoting idol groups.

Music is just a tool for idol groups to make money, as long as they have singing, the songs don’t need to be popular.

The same goes for competition in TV dramas.

Li Siqi just starred in "Blood Rain" and has already received the salary. Whether the show is a hit or a hit has little to do with Chaoyin culture. At most, it will slightly affect the reputation of the series.

However, when film and television companies look for popular celebrities to star in TV series, they are not interested in their acting skills, but just in terms of traffic. As long as their popularity does not drop, the impact will not be big.

For these reasons, Fang Xing did not pose much of a threat to Chaoyin culture in the past.

But it's different now.

Guangguang Entertainment, a joint venture between Fang Xing and Tong Fei, began to operate an idol group.

Moreover, under the control of Fang Xing, the two girl group songs "Chinese" and "Persian Cat" kicked off the girl group's dominance of the song charts.

God knows if there will be more chart-topping songs released in the future?

In this way, Guangguang Entertainment and Chaoyin Culture formed a competition on the track.

This isn't just a competition for the music charts, it's a competition for the cake.

Ray Entertainment is taking away the cake from other entertainment companies.

Chaoyin culture can tolerate the disastrous defeat on the music chart, but it cannot tolerate Guangguang Entertainment taking away the cake of idol groups.

Not only Chaoyin culture has been affected, but companies such as Puxiang Records and Mailin Records have also suffered greatly.

After calculation, because Fang Xing dominated the list last year, the revenue of Puxiang Records, Mailin Records, and Chaoyin Culture dropped by 20% to 30% last year.

According to the trend in the first half of this year, revenue this year will continue to decline.

The category that has declined the most this year is Chaoyin culture.

Last year's Glacier Group was at least still operated by Chaoyin Culture. Although its revenue also dropped, it didn't drop that much.

This year, Fluorescent Girl was jointly run by Tong Fei and Fang Xing, which caused Chaoyin Culture’s revenue to drop by less than half.

Now the trendy music girl group ANJI cannot beat the fluorescent girls. If this continues, it will be even harder for trendy music culture.

In order to stabilize the cake in the entertainment industry.

He Hongtu arranged a drinking party and asked Chen Lipeng to come out for discussion.

Pengcheng Capital, the company behind Chen Lipeng, is the major shareholder of Puxiang Records, Mailin Records, and Red Film and Television.

The two parties have collaborated on the project "Blood Rain".

Although the fight in "Blood Rain Jiang Hu" caused a lot of unpleasantness between the two parties, there is nothing in the shopping mall that cannot be resolved by interests.

What's more, now both sides have a common opponent.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that Pengcheng Capital's financial statements for the first half of the year were not very good." As soon as He Hongtu opened his mouth, he put sand in Chen Lipeng's eyes.

Pengcheng Capital mainly invests in entertainment companies, and its largest investments are Puxiang Records and Mailin Records.

Especially for Mailin Records, Pengcheng Capital is the largest shareholder.

Because before Mailin Records was crowned the king, Pengcheng Capital invested 50 million in Mailin Records, acquired 40% of the shares of Mailin Records, and became the largest shareholder of Mailin Records.

In fifteen years, Mailin Records has grown from a small record company to one of the top five major companies in the Chinese music industry.

Pengcheng Capital achieved a return on investment of nearly 100 times on this investment, which is a classic case in the investment industry.

One of the important reasons why Pengcheng Capital is successful is that the Chen family is familiar with the music industry and also focuses on investing in the music industry.

It can be said that the Chen family discovered the potential of Mailin Records fifteen years ago, so their bet was successful.

Puxiang Records is similar.

However, the Chen family’s shareholding in Puxiang Records was a half-way journey. When they held the shares, Puxiang Records was already halfway up the mountain, so the return on investment was not particularly high.

Since the Chen family was familiar with the music industry, they took the long-term shareholding route. Moreover, the Chen family would intervene in the actual operations of the two record companies and use their influence in the music industry to develop the two companies, achieving great success.

Before last year, the Chen family's territory had spread all over the Chinese music scene, and it was likely to occupy half of the music scene.

However, Fang Xing's appearance broke the Chen family's plan to expand their territory.

Throughout last year and the first half of this year, the revenue of Puxiang Records and Mailin Records broke off their ten-year growth momentum and declined for the first time.

The reason is that the emergence of Fang Xing caused the market share of Songshi Records to soar, cutting away the cakes of Puxiang Records and Mailin Records.

Also because of the sharp decline in revenue of Puxiang Records and Mailin Records, the financial statements of the Chen family's Pengcheng Capital in the first half of the year were not good-looking.

Several major shareholders of Pengcheng Capital expressed dissatisfaction with the performance in the first half of the year.

It was only then that Chen Lipeng took the lead and asked Puxiang Records and Mailin Records to join forces, so that Tan Zhiguan joined "Sing Out Loud" and competed with Fang Xing in the ring.

Now, Guangguang Entertainment has begun to cut the cake across the two tracks of idols and records.

Naturally, the Chen family couldn't bear it.

He Hongtu also understood that the Chen family was now the biggest victim of Fang Xing's sudden appearance, which was why today's drinking game took place.

"What do you mean, Mr. He?" Chen Lipeng pretended not to know, with a calm expression.

"Mr. Chen, please stop acting. Pengcheng Capital's report for the first half of the year is not good, and you are not less angry with shareholders, right?" He Hongtu said with a chuckle.

Most of Pengcheng Capital's shares are in the hands of the Chen family.

However, about 40% of the shares are still held by other shareholders.

Therefore, Pengcheng Capital's statements are not good-looking, and Chen Lipeng, as chairman, has to give an explanation to these shareholders.

For Pengcheng Capital, facing the current situation, there are two options.

The first option is to help Puxiang Records and Mailin Records reverse the trend of declining revenue.

In this way, Fang Xing needs to be defeated head-on in order to regain the sliced ​​cake.

The second option is to sell out the shares of Puxiang Records and Mailin Records, withdraw funds, and look for new projects or tracks.

If it is a general investment company, you can make the second option.

However, Puxiang Records and Mailin Records only experienced a decline in revenue, not losses, and they have not yet reached the point where they need to sell their shares.

Secondly, the Chen family is influential in the music circle, and the music track is the one where the Chen family is most confident in investing.

Therefore, the Chen family is unlikely to withdraw from this track, so they can only choose the first option.

It was impossible for Chen Lipeng to reveal the internal situation of the company, so he continued to remain calm and said: "Pengcheng Capital is in good condition."

He didn't lie. Pengcheng Capital's operating conditions are indeed very good, but its revenue has declined and its earnings are less than before. It is far from losing money. They are two different concepts.

However, for capital, if you make less money, you will lose money.

Seeing that Chen Lipeng was still holding it, He Hongtu shook his head and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Chen insists on holding it like this, we can't talk about joining forces to deal with Fang Xing and Songshi Records."

Chen Lipeng had actually guessed his intention and said with a smile: "As long as the time is right, of course we can join forces."

He Hong looked at Chen Lipeng like an old fox and said, "It should have been like this a long time ago. Only allies who trust each other and are honest with each other can win."

Chen Lipeng went straight to the point: "How do you think we should join forces, Mr. He?"

"Actually, it's very simple. The main reason why Songshi Records and Guangguang Entertainment are so strong is actually Fang Xing..."

He Hongtu began to analyze: "First of all, the fluorescent girls promoted by Guangguang Entertainment. This group itself is really weak and cannot compare to my ANJI.

"However, just because Fang Xing produced a song "Chinese" for Fluorescent Group, its popularity surpassed that of ANJI for three consecutive months.

"Last week, Fang Xing sent another song "Persian Cat" to the Fluorophore.

“You don’t need me to say this song, right? You can hear it everywhere you walk on the street, in the shopping mall.

“Just yesterday, ‘Persian Cat’ topped the charts.

"If he continues like this, he will wake up the entire Chinese music scene.

"From now on, if he eats meat, we can only drink soup, and maybe we won't even be able to drink soup."

He Hongtu didn't need to say these things, Chen Lipeng also knew about them.

However, it is not as alarmist as He Hongtu said.

But this is indeed the case. Every song produced by Fang Xing becomes a hit.

Puxiang Records and Mailin Records have not released a number one song on the hot song chart for a whole year, and I have almost forgotten what it feels like.

Chen Lipeng still looked calm and asked: "What does Mr. He think should be done?"

He Hongtu said categorically: "He must be defeated. He cannot be allowed to continue to expand. He must be defeated head-on. We can't defeat him as a single company, so let's do it together."

"As long as Fang Xing and his company want to release a song, we will arrange for singers to release songs to attack him and suppress his momentum."

Chen Lipeng flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "This is not easy."

"The difficulty is indeed not small, but one company is not enough, two or three companies are not enough? Can Fang Xing still be able to compete with the entire music industry?" He Hongtu's words were very provocative.

"It sounds simple, but it's hard to say how to do it specifically. Is there a specific implementation plan?" Chen Lipeng said.

He Hongtu was well prepared and said: "Ren Qiuya, your top singer at Puxiang Records, isn't he going to release a new song next month? I remember that the song has been prepared for a long time. It's a love song duet, and it's going to be used to lead new people in the company. right?"

When top-tier and super-top singers from record companies release songs, they sometimes release duet songs, and sometimes the duet singer’s name has never been heard of.

In a situation like this, if you search, you will easily find that it is actually the record company arranging first-line singers to lead the company's newcomers.

Puxiang Records does have plans to release songs next month.

It is a duet of a love song by Puxiang Records' first-line singer Ren Qiuya. The male singer who sings the duet is a newcomer to Puxiang.

Puxiang Records is already doing pre-heating and promotion is about to begin.

This is no secret to those in the industry.

Chen Lipeng nodded and admitted: "There is such a plan. The quality of this song is indeed good, but it is used to bring in newcomers. Male singers are not famous, so they will suffer losses if they are used to compete in the ring."

He Hongtu raised a smile like an old fox at the corner of his mouth and said: "Pu Xiang sings, and I will show my popularity."

Chen Lipeng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Stop bringing in newbies, replace them with Li Siqi. Li Siqi and Ren Qiuya's duet of love songs will definitely become a hit. You can't beat Fang Xing by introducing new ones now. Let's suppress Fang Xing's momentum with songs first." He Hongtu A plan was proposed.

Chen Lipeng rubbed his fists and started thinking.

He Hongtu continued to add: "Don't worry, Chaoyin won't get a penny from Li Siqi singing this song. Is this cooperation sincere enough?"

Generally speaking, the price for a top domestic artist like Li Siqi to sing a song is very high.

However, in order to suppress the momentum of the fluorescent girl, He Hongtu can't control that much anymore.

"Shall we use "The Right Hand" to compete with "Persian Cat"? If Li Siqi and Ren Qiuya sing it, the popularity, strength, and songs can really suppress it." After Chen Lipeng thought carefully, he felt that this plan was feasible. .

"Competing with "Persian Cats" is only one of them. We also need to push down the three-person team that Guanghuang Entertainment is planning to promote. We want this team to become popular as soon as they debut. I heard that this three-person team was Fang Xing's idea. How can an idol group of three people compete with nine people? Fang Xing may know music, but she doesn't understand girl groups." He Hongtu's eyes shone with wisdom.

…

The two discussed the plan in depth.

the next day.

Li Siqi got the song "Right Hand Time". After practicing for a day, he went directly to Puxiang Records to record the song.

Ren Qiuya's part has been recorded long ago, and the only part left behind is Li Siqi's part.

Li Siqi only practiced for one day and was actually not very familiar with it yet.

However, this does not affect the studio recording. You can record it several times, cut the sentences together in the later stage, and then coordinate with the sound modification, you can always perfect the singing level.

Since "Right Hand Years" originally had a release plan, but now it's just a new male singer, the planned promotion only needs to be modified a little before it can continue.

It’s noon this day.

"The Right Hand Years" is officially released.

Li Siqi, who is at the top of Chaoyin culture, performs a love song duet with Ren Qiuya, a top female singer of Puxiang Records.

As soon as this song was released, it caused an uproar.

Because this is the first time Li Siqi has sung a love song duet with a female singer.

SPK fans are both excited and worried.

I'm excited because my idol has released another song, but I'm worried that this time I'm singing duet with another girl, which feels like cheating.

Some fans even became so jealous that they bought singles and pushed the charts even harder.

As soon as "Right Hand Years" was released, it quickly climbed onto the new song charts.

Then it only took two days to rush to the top of the hot song chart, and began to collide head-on with "Persian Cat", fighting for the top three on the hot song chart.

Since "The Right Hand" is a collaboration between Chaoyin Culture and Puxiang Records, there is also the operation of Pengcheng Capital behind it.

Therefore, "The Right Hand Years" rushed to the charts extremely fiercely.

After a week of competition, Pengcheng Capital, Chaoyin Culture, and Puxiang Records joined forces and spent a lot of money to push "Right Hand Time" to the top of the hot song list, pushing "Persian Cat" down.

With the tough attitude of capital, they announced the alliance between Chaoyin Culture and Puxiang Records and won the first round.

…

at the same time.

Tong Fei was a little unhappy when she saw "The Right Hand" surpassed "Persian Cat".

Because the popularity of "Persian Cat" has not decreased, but "The Right Hand" has been too aggressive in operating the charts, so "Persian Cat" was squeezed out.

Originally "Persian Cat" should have dominated the list for a few more weeks, but now it has been squeezed out in just one week. This will result in "Persian Cat" not showing its maximum value.

At the regular work meeting on Monday, Tong Fei sent a message asking Fang to wake up and attend.

At the meeting, Tong Fei and Fang Xing discussed the idea of ​​increasing the promotion of "Persian Cat".

""Persian Cat" still has potential. If we increase our promotion efforts, there is still hope to regain the number one spot."

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "There's no point in spending money on rankings, so forget it."

Tong Fei frowned and asked, "You're giving up now? This collaboration between Chaoyin Culture and Puxiang Records has a turbulent undercurrent. If they lose this battle for the rankings, they will be slapped in the face."

Fang Xing smiled and said, "No, I just want to change the group. It's almost time for Shen Xiyin and the other three to release songs."

Tong Fei raised her eyebrows and asked: "Have Shen Xiyin and the others prepared their songs? Are there any hopes of winning "The Right Hand Years"?"

A confident smile appeared on Fang Xing's face, and he replied: "It's not a question of whether to win or not, but a question of how many times to crush."
