Ch 120: What Is The Power Of Capital? Well, This Is It, Young Master Cao’s Three-pronged Attack
All companies in the entertainment industry fell silent.
There was not a sound.
Everyone was stunned.
They seemed to feel the pressure from capital for the first time.
Investment without seeking a return?
What’s the point?
Three hundred million yuan, how are you going to earn it back?
If you lose in viewership ratings, you’ll lose another hundred million yuan.
Four hundred million yuan in total…
What the hell are you trying to do?
The entertainment tycoons of this era haven’t been stunned by coal bosses, nor have they been baptized by the later entry of internet giants.
They are still very ‘poor’!
After all,
no entertainment companies have gone public yet.
Hua Xiong has been pursuing a listing, but the company’s valuation is only fifty million yuan.
A bank card of a second-generation rich kid is worth half of that.
This is a classic case of capital entering a shallow bay, a dimensional strike.
Therefore,
the shock brought by these three hundred million yuan is enormous.
Actually, it’s not just because of the three hundred million yuan, but also because the three hundred million yuan is just to create a garbage music variety show.
That’s right.
In the eyes of the film industry, which is at the top of the discrimination chain, variety shows are garbage.
Does it require three hundred million yuan?
How many blockbuster films can three hundred million yuan create?
Moreover, two hundred million yuan of it is actually mentor fees.
How much film remuneration does Jack Long get in Hollywood these days?
Money,
isn’t spent like this.
…
Young Master Cao’s three casual moves directly defeated the villain alliance.
Everyone could no longer carry out a soft ban.
People’s hearts are not united.
Now all that can be compared is…the quality of the program.
“Damn.”
“Can we really lose to a new company, a second-generation rich kid from outside the circle?”
“I don’t believe it.”
Many entertainment companies that produce programs held meetings overnight to discuss the production of their upcoming programs.
They also contacted all the radio and television variety show departments with good relationships to conduct joint production.
They had no choice but to cooperate.
This time, they need to raise the price.
Whether it’s mentor fees, production team fees, or audition fees, they need to spend more money.
Including stage effects and sound equipment, everything needs to be upgraded to a higher level.
Otherwise, how can they compete?
Miracle Media really spent three hundred million yuan, even if they threw money at it, they could create a visual feast.
No one backed down at this time.
No one could back down.
Backing down would be equivalent to surrendering the talent show market.
They could only fight.
Show their best strength, as long as the visuals are not too inferior, work hard on the content, and add the reputation of old fans, they can still crush the opponent.
Moreover, everyone has been in the circle for so many years, and their connections are not something Miracle can compare to.
First occupy the slots of major TV stations, then attract advertisements.
If they work together to attract several large advertisers, Miracle will have no cooperating advertisers.
This is considered to be setting obstacles for them, hindering their progress.
Actually,
many companies are like this. If you ask them to do something, they may not do it well.
But if you ask them to hinder progress, they are absolutely professional.
…
Miracle Company headquarters.
Sister Ali looked at the middle-aged, slightly overweight man in front of her.
“Director Gong, it’s not that I’m not agreeing to you. We had a good discussion before, but you didn’t continue the discussion later.”
“I have already reported this matter to Mr. Cao, and Mr. Cao also said that the local station is a good television station, but unfortunately, there is no chance to cooperate. He also thinks it’s a pity, so now he can only find other local stations, and he has found one!”
“You can’t stand someone up, can you? That’s too offensive.”
Sister Ali shrugged helplessly: “So, I’m helpless. You know, although I’m the general manager, I’m just an employee. Whatever Mr. Cao says, I can only do it.”
Director Gong is the person in charge of the variety show department of the local station.
At this time, Director Gong was sweating profusely and chuckled: “Ali, we are acquaintances, we have cooperated so many times… Can you help me contact Mr. Cao? I’ll chat with him personally. Do you think it’s okay?”
“Okay, Director Gong, please wait a moment. I’ll call Mr. Cao. Mr. Cao is usually busy. The entertainment industry is just something he plays around with. Most of his energy isn’t here.” Sister Ali said.
“I know, I know. Young Master Ren, I’ve heard of him.” Director Gong quickly nodded.
He has an administrative level.
But it also depends on what level it is, doesn’t it?
The local station is just a hall.
As the director of a department, that’s the best he can get.
He didn’t dare to act superior.
He also regretted it. Why didn’t you bring up the wagering agreement earlier?
Now I’m sweating profusely.
The leaders of the station have personally asked about this matter, scolding me to death.
A local entertainment company seeks cooperation with a local station, what’s the problem?
The local station is bullying him?
Isn’t this driving people away?
“Hello, Mr. Cao, it’s Ali. Uh, uh, uh, sorry to interrupt you drinking tea… That, Director Gong is here, ah? Director Gong is the person in charge of the variety show department of the local station, okay, okay…”
Sister Ali handed the phone to Director Gong.
Director Gong’s heart tightened, and he picked up the phone: “Hello Mr. Cao, I’m Gong Changzhang!”
“Hello, Director Zhang.”
“No…My surname is Gong.”
“Isn’t it Gong Chang Zhang?”
“No…”
“Oh, oh, oh, I’m sorry, Director Gong. I just woke up and I’m a little confused. I haven’t even finished a cup of tea yet, and I haven’t recovered my energy yet. I misunderstood you. Excuse me, excuse me.” Young Master Cao chuckled on the phone.
Director Gong didn’t know if it was real or fake.
But as a small official, what kind of people hasn’t he seen?
He is proficient in the ability to speak appropriately to different people.
“Hahaha.” Director Gong laughed: “It’s okay, it’s okay, Mr. Cao is busy, you just woke up at this time, you have to pay attention to your health…”
After a few pleasantries.
Director Gong got straight to the point: “Mr. Cao, there was some misunderstanding before, yes, a misunderstanding…Regarding the program, we have seen it, although we don’t know the specific content yet, but I have cooperated with Sister Ali many times, I know her character, and I believe her… yes, yes…”
“Mr. Cao, please don’t refuse yet. The other TV stations offer certain conditions, but our local station supports local enterprises, and we can definitely offer better conditions. I can guarantee that.”
“I will also try my best to get the most benefits for local enterprises.”
“So, Mr. Cao…”
Cao Cheng smiled: “Director Gong, it’s not that I’m refusing you, it’s that you’re too late.”
“I know, I know, but we haven’t signed the contract yet.” Director Gong tried to persuade him.
Cao Cheng said: “We haven’t signed a contract, but we have already given a verbal agreement, and I dare not refuse. The other party’s strength is not something our local station can compare to. Of course, I’m not belittling you, but stating a fact.”
Director Gong was unconvinced.
Although the local TV station is not number one or two.
It’s not bad either.
Once it spreads, who doesn’t know their Tomato Station?
Their TV station has always been in the realm of fighting for third and securing fifth place, and sometimes they can even move up.
And this is only the TV station.
If you count the eldest sister, it’s the Zhonghai Radio and Television Station… It’s a leader in the local area!
Can’t compare?
Who can’t compare?
“Mr. Cao, who is the other party?”
“The Central Bank.”
“…”
Excuse me!
Director Gong left.
What’s the point of talking anymore?
Not only can’t they talk, they can’t even hold a grudge.
They can only mutter in their hearts.
They left with a smiling expression.
Sister Ali called Cao Cheng again.
“Boss, did you really reach an agreement with the Central Bank?”
“We have reached a verbal agreement, the specifics will be seen later.” Cao Cheng wasn’t in a hurry, there were too many variety show departments contacting him now.
He’ll see who offers a better wagering agreement.
To be honest.
The Central Bank is good, but they can’t be chosen.
Do you really dare to wager with the Central Bank?
If you win, will you dare to take the money?
Although they will really give it, who knows if there are any grudges they’ll hold against you.
It’s not necessary.
Therefore,
the priority is still local TV stations, forget about the local one, give them a lesson, at least get rid of this Gong guy first.
If they really find the Central Bank, Gong will escape a disaster.
But once they know that Miracle found other local TV stations, Gong is finished.
As for Toilet Station, they won’t look for them either.
There’s probably Toilet Station’s shadow behind this.
Fast Men is theirs.
Tianmou Entertainment behind Fast Men is also their subsidiary.
Tianmou Entertainment colluding with some people to obstruct Miracle is equivalent to the Toilet Station’s tacit approval.
So, the first choice is Jiangzhe.
However,
No hurry~~
This project is for next year.
There is no opportunity this year.
And this year Cao Cheng wants to play a bigger game. Doing so many things is for the emotion value, right?
It can’t be just to make money, can it?
Now everything is ready, just waiting to harvest the emotions.
…
In mid-March.
Major production companies have already built the stages for the talent show, and the auditions have begun.
The speed is astonishing.
It’s worthy of companies that have been doing talent shows for several years, they are really fast.
In contrast, Miracle is still building its team and preparing for the auditions.
And the auditions for the 《Good Voice》 program are also different from theirs.
The slow speed makes others very happy.
The slower Miracle is, the faster they are.
They frantically spend money to prepare, start external publicity, and promote the auditions first… fans are happy.
Looking at this, Miracle’s new program is probably nothing.
Because everyone has already publicized, their attention has been drawn to talent shows like Fast Girl, who would care about Miracle’s new program?
And it is also heard that Miracle and the television station’s wagering agreement has not yet been finalized.
So slow.
A second-generation rich kid is a second-generation rich kid. They have money, but their ability is really average.
They are slow and procrastinating. Do they think they can get by in the entertainment industry like this?
Do they really think it’s like building a house?
Buy a piece of land and don’t build on it, just wait for the land to appreciate in value?
The entertainment industry doesn’t work like that.
So foolish.
…
“Brother Sun.”
Sister Ali held the phone, smiling: “I know you are a godfather in the circle, a top music producer.”
“You debuted twenty years ago… but the problem is, you refused.”
“You’ve also heard about Mr. Cao.”
“He simply knows that cooperation with you will benefit both parties and the program, so he doesn’t mind raising the price and offered fifty million yuan, but you still refused.”
“Twice.”
“Our country emphasizes that things should not happen three times.”
“So now Mr. Cao only has one thought: where he lost face, he’ll get it back. It’s impossible to eat the grass that has already been eaten. Not to mention you, Mr. Yang and Mr. Na, Mr. Cao will not invite them either. He plans to invite big foreign singers…fifty million yuan is enough to request any singer.”
