- Beijing, Shangri-La Hotel
Lao Feng took his apprentice Xiao Chen who had just rushed over, passed the security guard with his press card, and hurried to the banquet hall.
Xiao Chen, who was temporarily caught by Master, asked in a daze, "Master, what's the news today, so urgent?"
"Cao Xuan and Warner's contract renewal press conference, damn, it was originally Lao Chu's job, but this old boy had diarrhea today, the editor-in-chief sent me temporarily, and I didn't bring everything."
"It's Cao Xuan's news."
Xiao Chen understands that Cao Xuan has become very popular in the past few days with his song "Stars and Seas" in the Spring Festival Gala. He is a key artist, and now he has renewed his contract with China's No. 1 record company. It is normal to send an old reporter over.
However, Xiao Chen still underestimated Cao Xuan's influence. When he arrived at the banquet hall, he was stunned to see the densely packed dozens of colleagues.
"Good guy, "Beijing Entertainment News", "Morning News", "Southern Metropolis Daily", Sohu, Sina and NetEase's three major portals, Phoenix Satellite TV, Enlight's "Entertainment Scene", CCTV's "China Film Report"
That's the "Wen Wei Po" in Xiangjiang, right? Reporters from Taiwan Province also came, rely on me, and foreigners. "
Xiao Chen was dumbfounded, and even Lao Feng was a little overwhelmed. It is really rare for entertainment news to reach this scale, covering almost all the well-known entertainment media in China.
Lao Feng didn't pay much attention to this job before. Seeing this, he quietly asked a familiar reporter to ask.
"Old Wei, what's the situation? Why are there so many people here today?"
Old Wei looked at him in surprise, and complained, "You don't know what you're doing here?"
"Originally Lao Chu was in charge of the temporary work."
Lao Feng explained something, and Lao Wei nodded. This is very common for their reporters, so he told Lao Wei about the situation.
"This contract renewal drama was too ups and downs. In December last year, Sony began to hook up with Cao Xuan tentatively. Later, the words became more explicit. It seems that the progress is gratifying.
? As a result, after leaving the country, the situation changed. Warner began to declare that Cao Xuan intended to renew his contract.
According to an insider's tip, I heard that Cao Xuan was about to sign a contract with Sony at that time, and the representative of China Unicom, the boss of Warner Asia, went to South Korea together, entangled Cao Xuan for three days and three nights, offered countless conditions, and played the emotional card , Cao Xuan changed his mind. "
"Then what about Sony?"
Lao Feng enjoyed listening to it, and the two major international record companies are vying for Chinese artists, which is too exciting.
"What can Sony do? They can't do anything if Cao Xuan doesn't sign. Warner is not a vegetarian. In the final analysis, they are the ones who poached first."
"If you want me to say, Cao Xuan made the right choice this time. No matter how bad the Americans are, they are still better than Japan."
"Not necessarily. Sony is still very strong in Asia. Didn't Cao Xuan win the public trust list in Japan before? If the next step is to develop in Japan, Sony is more powerful."
"Isn't it better to go to the United States? Sony is not as good as Warner in the United States."
The three of them debated for a while before Lao Wei thought about the business: "Before Sony gave up, they made a fool of Warner by disclosing a signing fee of 100 million to Cao Xuan. Doesn't that put Warner on the shelf? These reporters are all Come and see the fun."
"100000000!"
Lao Feng and Xiao Chen were stunned by this astronomical figure. After half a minute of exchange, Lao Feng sighed.
"Wang Fei's 60 million yuan shocked the entire entertainment industry, but now Cao Xuan has almost doubled."
"You can't say that. Back in 1997, prices and the business environment were weaker than they are now. Wang Fei's 60 million yuan was worth no more than Cao Xuan's 100 million yuan."
"It doesn't matter if it's 60 million or 100 million, these singers are really making money. The sum of my salary in my whole life is not enough to make a fraction of what others earn."
Lao Feng couldn't hide his sourness, but Lao Wei took it very lightly: "Everyone has his own fate, but others are not convinced, and I am quite convinced by Cao Xuan's money."
"How to say?"
"They earn a lot and donate a lot. I had dinner with a reporter from Xinhua before. He has studied Cao Xuan's charity?"
"How much did he donate?"
"I don't know how many, but it's more than ten million. It is said that Cao Xuan has built more than a dozen Hope Primary Schools in the southwest, southeast, and his hometown of Lu Province.
In the past two years, the charitable organization funded by individuals has successively funded nearly a hundred impoverished students, and also regularly donated to some hope primary schools and children's welfare homes. "
"Cao Xuan is very particular about making a fortune without forgetting charity."
"Well, I haven't heard of any celebrity who is more enthusiastic about charity than Cao Xuan, and even funded and established a foundation to do it systematically for a long time, and he has done a good job.For Cao Xuan's 1 billion yuan, it's no fun talking about it, the real money is when it arrives.
But now, Warner publicly admitted at the press conference that it is obviously not as simple as talking about it, but a real 100 million.
Even though many reporters had already been mentally prepared, they were still beaten hard in the heart.
There are so many flavors that I can't tell what it tastes like.
However, some reporters still uphold professionalism and asked: "The signing fee of 100 million is not a small number. Warner will pay this signing fee for a special purpose."
The reporter's question was obviously aimed at the previous Sony poaching, but Warner ignored it and just emphasized it solemnly.
"We believe that the value Cao Xuan brings to the company will far exceed the 100 million yuan. This is the reason why we gave the signing fee."
Some reporters at the scene applauded. Indeed, although 100 million is a sky-high price, Cao Xuan's value is far higher than this amount, and Warner is not at a loss.
And Warner's reply was considered an indirect support for Cao Xuan.
It's not that Warner used money to win over Cao Xuan, but that Cao Xuan was valuable and worthy of a lot of money from Warner. Although it seems that they both used 100 million signing fees to hit people, the meanings are fundamentally different.
To put it more simply, Cao Xuan made money standing up this time
Before the reporters could digest the shock of the 100 million signing fee, Warner and Cao Xuan dropped another bomb.
"Warner Records and Cao Xuan reached a cooperation. Cao Xuan's first English EP will officially land in the United States at the end of February."
All the reporters present went crazy, Cao Tianwang yelled hundreds of chapters, and finally hit the international music scene! ! !
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
ps: I will open a post in the book review area later, if you have any English songs, you can talk about them
