China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

Chapter 105 Warner has become a bereaved dog and meets Cao Ying

"Xu Chen, 18 years old, debuted in June. In August, he became a popular mainland brother and the rumored boyfriend of the princess."

"In June, Xiangjiang PKed Nicholas Tse, and Nicholas Tse fled. In September, Baodao PKed Zhang Huimei, smashing an electric guitar angrily. Baodao music circles praised him as a soul poet."

"Talented. Within half a year of his debut, he composed 14 songs, all of which became hits of the year. He has a variety of styles and is proficient in all kinds of musical instruments."

Zhou Jianbin had seen Xu Chen's photo from the information. When meeting offline this time, he couldn't help but be surprised at Xu Chen's youth. Is this person really the person with such a strong record?

The next moment, Zhou Jianbin was dumbfounded.

"Mr. Zhou has come all the way, so I won't waste any time." Xu Chen said that there is "Modern Sky" in the mainland and "Magic Rock" in Xiangjiang and Baodao. Warner has no place: "Warner is very good, but we are not suitable."

Are you sick? I haven't even complained yet...

I didn't even tell you my conditions and you refused?
Xu Chen's straight shot silenced Zhou Jianbin. He was proficient in negotiation skills, but Xu Chen didn't give him a chance to negotiate. Young man, are you too arrogant?

"Mr. Xu, there are many talented people in Rolling Stone. How sure is Zhang Peiren of Demon Rock to pry the meat out of Rolling Stone's mouth?" Zhou Jianbin got to the point: "Warner can help Mr. Xu win the Baodao Golden Melody Award, Xiangjiang Golden Melody Award and Jinge Golden Melody Award. Geniuses like Mr. Xu should not be limited to the mainland, I believe Warner can promote Mr. Xu’s music to Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea, and even Europe and the United States.”

Xu Chen has a "modern sky" in the mainland market. According to data, Xu Chen holds shares. Zhou Jianbin does not expect the mainland market. He will be satisfied if he can win the markets in Xiangjiang, Baodao, and Southeast Asia.

In fact, Zhou Jianbin has no way out.

Warner's top executives were fighting for power, and Zhou Jianbin was parachuted in to take charge of this "broken copper" ship. Outside there were Rolling Stone, EMI, Sony, and PolyGram dominating the market, while inside there were conservatives eyeing the position and fighting for power.

Zhou Jianbin has a very clear mind. The most effective way to solve internal and external troubles is...

victory!

The reason for choosing Xu Chen is very simple. As of September, Xu Chen has never lost in consecutive battles with the King and Queen.

Zhou Jianbin has Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. Although he cannot win over Xu Chen's market share in the mainland, Xu Chen's domineering attitude in the mainland music scene, as long as Warner makes good friends with Xu Chen, it will be easy to introduce female singers to the mainland market in the future.

The harvest is great and the future is bright. The only difficulty is...

Xu Chen, what the hell do you say~
Zhou Jianbin was anxious and on pins and needles, while Xu Chen drank tea slowly like a ruthless and indifferent scumbag.

Zhou Jianbin's cakes are very tempting. The Baodao and Xiangjiang music circles exclude outsiders. The Golden Melody Award and Jinge Golden Melody Award are almost never awarded to mainlanders.

Xu Chen's goal is to be the "Chinese Pop King", but he doesn't have a single award. "Chinese Pop King" is nothing. He can just say "hillbilly" and be speechless.

"Mr. Zhou..." Xu Chen hesitated: "Warner is really good, that's all, I..."

"Warner understands Mr. Xu's concerns..." Scumbag, stop your ways of dealing with women. Zhou Jianbin instantly understood that you have to pay more: "Mr. Xu, the princess signed with EMI and has a signing bonus of 6000 million. If Mr. Xu is willing to join Warner , Warner is willing to pay this number!

Zhou Jianbin opened his hands and palms, revealing the "Beijing Film Teaching Materials" that hurts but "it's all worth it for you".

"1 million!" The princess signed a contract with EMI for only 6000 million. Warner was willing to set a small target to sign me. Xu Chen was embarrassed in his heart and waved his hands indifferently: "Mr. Zhou misunderstood. It is not about money. I have not joined any record company. idea."

Damn it, this is 1 million, young people, don’t be too arrogant!

"Mr. Xu, what about the opportunity for cooperation?" Xu Chen was so arrogant that Zhou Jianbin couldn't handle it. He humbly tried: "Mr. Xu's second album is a collaboration with Moyan. I don't doubt that Mr. Xu will become a Chinese-language celebrity with this album." The King of Pop.”

"However, Mr. Xu overtook the Hong Kong and Baodao music circles to become the king of Chinese pop. His third album is bound to cause a counterattack in the music world. I'm afraid Moyan is not qualified to be Mr. Xu's support."

Zhou Jianbin promised: "Warner can, Mr. Xu, Warner will fully support Mr. Xu's third album."

The situation of the music scene in Hong Kong and Baodao is completely different from that of the mainland music scene.

If Xu Chen's second album takes over the Hong Kong and Baodao music circles, the counterattacks from major labels such as Rolling Stone, EMI, Sony, and PolyGram will only be more fierce than those from the mainland's "Beiping music scene."

The second album "The World is Unparalleled" is about offense, and the third album is about defense.

Only by withstanding the counterattack from the Hong Kong and Baodao music circles will Xu Chen's status as the "King of Chinese Pop" be recognized by the music circles and Chinese-speaking audiences.

Unable to resist, Wang Jie's fate was that he was inferior to the "Legend" after all, and there was someone on his head!

Zhou Jianbin observed Xu Chen's face. He could remain calm at such a young age. He was really a little fox. Zhou Jianbin showed his trump card: "Mr. Xu, Warner is really sincere in cooperating with Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu's first album "Legend", The second album "The World is Unparalleled" doesn't have the distribution rights in Southeast Asia yet."

"Mr. Xu, Warner is willing to purchase the overseas distribution rights of "Legend" and "Unparalleled" for 2000 million!" This time it's a real deal. If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent, and you will bet Xu Chen to death!

"Mr. Zhou, do you believe me so much?" Zhou Jianbin is completely crazy. Xu Chen's status and reputation are limited to the mainland, and his overseas distribution rights are worthless.

Zhou Jianbin won the overseas distribution rights for 2000 million, which is not so outrageous even if he loses money in gambling.

"Mr. Xu, this is the largest amount of funds I can mobilize at Warner Bros." Zhou Jianbin showed his face as he allowed himself to be devastated. He used all his cards and declared that he was ready to face the final trial.

"Warner is so sincere, I hope the cooperation will be happy!" 2000 million is not a small amount, Xu Chen accepted the money, and the third album in Xiangjiang, Baodao, and Southeast Asia markets were handed over to Warner for operation.

Zhou Jianbin leaned against the wicker chair and felt relieved. After winning the cooperation rights for Xu Chen's album, he firmly believed that Warner Bros. would be reborn.

Warner has a professional team of lawyers responsible for signing the contract, and the payment will be received within 15 days at the latest!
They all became partners. Xu Chen was very enthusiastic and made a special trip to send Zhou Jianbin to the airport.

Before leaving, Xu Chen asked an unanswered question: "Old Zhou, this is 2000 million. Do you believe in me so much that you are not afraid that my album "Unparalleled" will be sold on the street?"

Whether it is the overseas copyright of "Legend" and "Unparalleled", or the distribution rights of the third album, there is a prerequisite...

Xu Chen's second album "Unparalleled" has swept Hong Kong and Baodao, and he has become the king of Chinese pop. Otherwise, Warner's pants will be lost.

"Old Xu..." Zhou Jianbin was not used to this kind of "clan-building" buddy business model. The head of Warner said with a smile: "Many people say I am a gambler. Indeed, I like gambling very much. I win and lose. , but this time I bet on you, Lao Xu, this is the most profitable bet in my gambling career!"

Damn it, Old Zhou, your road is getting wider and wider. Xu Chen was so moved that he hugged Zhou Jianbin on his back and said, "Old Zhou, you are my friend, and I never let my friends lose!" '

"See you on Treasure Island!"

"See you in Baodao!" Zhou Jianbin turned around and boarded the plane. This time Warner bet 2000 million on Xu Chen. It was a "bloody storm" both within the company and in the Hong Kong and Baodao music circles.

The storm Zhou Jianbin has to face is no less severe than the pressure Xu Chen faces from the kings and queens of the singing world in Hong Kong and Baodao!

…………

A dead skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Warner acquired UFO and launched a full-scale attack on the Chinese music scene. Zhou Jianbin was appointed to take charge of this shaky ship at the critical moment. Major record companies in Hong Kong, Baodao and Mainland were paying close attention to his new moves.When Zhou Jianbin took office, he was decisive and fired a large number of Warner's top management, and terminated more than half of the contracts of its singers.

No one expected that Zhou Jianbin, the former general manager of EMI Millennium Records, would eliminate the internal threats in the company and free up his hands to do the first major thing...

2000 million to represent the overseas distribution rights of the "Legend" and "Unparalleled" albums of Xu Chen, a new mainland singer who debuted in June.

That's right...

Instead of signing a contract with singer Xu Chen, we are acting as an agent for the overseas distribution rights of Xu Chen's two albums.

This news was so outrageous that the major labels in Xiangjiang and Baodao immediately judged: "Rumor, Zhou Jianbin is not an idiot, even an idiot can't do such an idiotic thing. Xu Chen, a newly debuted singer from the mainland, has no overseas distribution rights." It seems like it’s taking up the company’s land, and only a mentally retarded person would buy it.”

When the latest news about the signing was published in the newspapers, major labels in Hong Kong and Baodao breathed a sigh of relief...

UFO Records, the giant that dominated the Chinese music scene in the past, has declined. Overseas capital tycoon Warner has acquired UFO. With Warner's capital strength, UFO Records may return to its peak...

I didn’t expect that the new manager Zhou Jianbin is really stupid!

2000 million was said to be in vain, and the Rolling Stones, Sony, and Polygram were all unable to hold on, and their biggest rivals cut off an arm.

Newspapers in Hong Kong and the music industry are talking about it. 2000 million is not a small amount. The signing fees of Warner's queens Sammi Cheng and Aaron Kwok are only 1200 million.

Warner abandoned Sammi Cheng and Aaron Kwok to sign Xu Chen, who had just debuted in the Mainland for two months. Zhou Jianbin's decision was incredible.

The Xiangjiang Commercial Daily published an analysis of "Warner" with a bold and shocking headline: "Warner has become a lost dog."

"In 1996, Warner bought a stake in UFO. Former UFO singers Wang Jie, Tsai Chin, Michelle Yeh, Zhang Yusheng, Chen Baiqiang, and Lin Yilian all terminated their contracts and left. Warner suffered from internal management chaos, and its operating performance and market share fell into a slump at the beginning of the year. The only remaining singers under the banner are Sammi Cheng and Aaron Kwok..."

"Zhou Jianbin was once the general manager of EMI Millennium Records. When he took office, Warner carried out drastic reforms. Warner once hoped to reverse its losses, but the good situation was ruined. It is understandable that Zhou Jianbin signed the contract with Xu Chen to enter the mainland market and represented Xu Chen's overseas distribution rights. It's a stupid move..."

"Zhou Jianbin has lost his cool head and judgment, Warner has become a lost dog, and the Chinese music scene has been reshuffled!"

People in Hong Kong and Baodao mocked Zhou Jianbin, and the mainland news was a carnival.

Warner UFO is a giant label in the Chinese music industry. It represents Xu Chen’s album overseas distribution rights for 2000 million.

The mainland music scene is proud and proud. Who the hell said that mainland singers are worthless? I would kill them for 2000 million, believe it or not!
The second is envy, jealousy and hatred...

The Mainland music scene is all chewed up, 2000 million!So if you lay "money bricks" on a house, you can build a villa of more than 600 square meters!
Saving 100 million a year without eating or drinking would take 20 years!
Naying, Sun Nan, and Liu Huan are all T0 players in the mainland music scene. They have not earned enough 2000 million for more than ten years since their debut. Xu Chen earned 3 million within 2000 months of his debut!
Although the princess signed a contract with EMI for 6000 million, she has been the T80 queen of the Chinese music scene since the 0s.

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

Naying, who hadn't contacted her for a long time, sent Xu Chen a text message in the middle of the night: "Xu Chen, you really deserve to die. You can make money so much. Have you ever thought about our feelings? I'm almost a unit of measurement. One Naying is equal to One million, twenty Naying is equal to Xu Chen’s 100-day income.”

In response to Naying's pink eye, Xu Chen replied humbly: "Hey, don't be discouraged. After a few months, you will find that I make more!"

"..." Naying's teeth are about to break, and she doesn't even want to go to a commercial performance. She sings a song for RMB 1, and she can't earn RMB 5 million even if her throat is smoking. She thinks of Sun Nan "saving" Dahong. , Naying recognized the worldly ways for the first time: "Uncle, I brought a sheep from Inner Mongolia, come to my house to eat some mutton~"

Worried that Xu Chen would not agree, Naying used her magic weapon: "Uncle, my concubine promised to come, will you come~"

Xu Chen is a "grandpa on the subway looking at his cell phone". If you don't have the ability to be coquettish and cute, don't force yourself to do it. "Oh" is a hammer, cold and ruthless: "Send the order to my home, address XXXX, my sister and I will enjoy the candlelight mutton hotpot." pot."

Na Young stopped replying to messages.

………………

With an income of 2000 million, Xu Chen was not happy for long.

Although he didn't know much about the news in Xiangjiang and Baodao in the mainland, he could infer that life was not easy for his good brother Zhou Jianbin.

You can't just eat hot and spicy food by yourself. Let's eat bran-pharynx vegetables.

Xu Chen cheered up, and then he cheered up. Zhou Huiming has not gone north for a long time, and only "Second Hand" is left for the new album "Unparalleled in the World".

Xu Chen did not rush Zhou Huiming.After all, Zhou Huiming and Ni Zhen agreed to retire from the industry and live in seclusion in Canada.

Now Zhou Huiming has broken her promise, and "withdrawing from the circle" is in name only. With Ni Zhen's petty mind, quarrels and entanglements are inevitable.

Zhou Huiming has soft ears and cannot bear the entanglement. Urging Zhou Huiming at this time will only tip the balance and make her feel guilty.

Not only did Xu Chen not push him, he also sent a message to Zhou Huiming: "Sister Huiming, I didn't expect that the last chorus before leaving the circle would cause you so much trouble. It was all because of my poor thinking. You and my brother Don't ruin your relationship because of this matter. Brother, he loves you too. I will ask other female singers for the album~"

Xu Chen wanted to give himself a slap in the face. If it weren't for the sales of "Unparalleled in the World", he would definitely not be able to handle this kind of tea talk.

Zhou Huiming did not reply to the text message.

At this time.

There was a gentle knocking sound outside the car window.

Xu Chen’s current ride is a 1997 Mercedes-Benz top-of-the-line Maybach. This car is not out of date from the perspective of 2022.

The car is equipped with an on-board central control computer, a panoramic fog effect sunroof, a vanity panel and a small in-car TV in the back seat, and the multi-function car seat buttons are equipped with a massage effect.

The naked car costs 560 million, and the girl who sells it said there are only three of them in China.

With the 2000 million I just received, after excluding buying cars, houses, and recharging the operating funds of "Time Pictures", I only have more than 400 million left in my pocket.

Zhou Tao had just gotten off work. Because she had a private party, she took off her work clothes. Her upper body was in a tight-fitting red sweater. The high-necked sweater accentuated her elegance. The streamlined sweater made her bags bulge, but her waist was full and could be held. Her lower body Elegant black wide-leg pants with thin and straight lines, short flesh-colored gauze stockings hooked to two khaki high-heeled shoes.

Seeing the brand new Maybach, Zhou Tao was a little unsure. He knocked on the car window and recognized Xu Chen in the car. Zhou Tao was a little surprised by Xu Chen's high profile: "Achen, the newspaper said that your income is 2000 million. It seems that the rumor It’s not false.”

This meeting was to recommend Cao Ying to Xu Chen. Zhou Tao introduced the pure and beautiful Cao Ying next to him: "Xiaoying, this is King Xu Tian. I didn't lie to you. Isn't he very handsome?"

"Sister Tao, if King Xu Tian is willing to be my boyfriend, I will pack my bags and follow him immediately." Cao Ying's beautiful eyes sparkled. She has been in the society for a long time and is very good at observing people's words. She praised Zhou Tao and Xu Chen in one sentence, and then Sell ​​yourself humbly.

"Sister Zhou, Miss Cao, please get in the car." Zhou Tao and Cao Ying are both CCTV hosts with outstanding looks. Now standing together, Cao Ying looks dull, while Zhou Tao is a mature and elegant young woman from a good family. She is so virtuous, so virtuous that people want to bully her.

Only the host of "China in the Classics" has not yet been confirmed. Xu Chen is planning to sign Cao Ying and show his strength in front of Zhou Tao.

The fishing bait has been thrown out, and Xu Chen believes that Zhou Tao will definitely take the bait. She is an ambitious woman!
