"I tell you, there are not many," said Secretary Gao.
"The music styles he created abroad have no market in China. Their audience is only a very small group of artistic young people who generally don't have much money."
"Times have changed. These days, audiences have so many choices. Why do they have to listen to your songs?"
"Saying how great JX is, how groundbreaking his music is... these are all empty words. Without paying audiences, his greatness has no basis and no persuasiveness."
Facing the silent Xu Xiangxiao, Secretary Gao paced around the room with a kingly attitude.
Every step he takes measures the sales performance and market conditions of the domestic music scene.
"In our evaluation system, Li Xingliang's value is five times that of JX. Do you know why the difference is so huge?"
"Because to the public, JX is just a distant name, but Li Xingliang is a lifestyle."
"Yes, his music might not be worth mentioning, but how many people check in on his super topic every day? How many people feed him little flowers? How many people watch his variety shows and new album releases?"
"These are all real money supports. This is an ecosystem with huge investments that you can't even imagine."
"Yes, JX's songs are awesome. Even though I don't like listening to them, I admit his songwriting ability is truly amazing. But in my opinion, Li Xingliang is even greater than him."
He picked up his briefcase and said, "Ms. Xu, trust us. We are a profitable company. We are willing to serve all artists wholeheartedly, but the prerequisite is that we can make money."
"Whether an artist is great or not is not decided by a small group of people. We only look at how much money they can make."
At the last moment before he left the room, Xu Xiangxiao took a step forward and said to his back:
“Although I don’t understand The Crowd or communication theory, I do know the mean regression theorem.”
"JX is the greatest musician and creator in history, and that will never change. He will eventually return to where he belongs."
"If your evaluation system is based solely on making money, you're completely mistaken. You can't evaluate an existence so great it transcends this era!"
Secretary Gao did not pause.
Xu Xiangxiao's words did not move him much, because he had heard such words too many times.
How many people claim to be great and think that their music is invincible, and come to him crying and kneeling to beg him just to get a little exposure?
Too many.
If he took each one seriously, he wouldn't have enough energy in his lifetime.
There are so many talented people in this world, anyone can be replaced, and the earth will continue to rotate without anyone.
What is truly irreplaceable is Aiwa Company and the industrial machine hidden behind them.
That is the truly great creation.
He walked out of the room meticulously and took out his cell phone.
"The Ministry of Justice needs to expedite its actions and clarify the legal procedures as soon as possible. We must ensure that private music collections are no longer visible in the public media."
"We must strengthen the monitoring and management of public opinion, even removing all information that shouldn't appear."
"I don't want to see any mention of him online until we've finished negotiating with JX!"
As I walked out of the office, the people around me bowed their heads like wheat in the wind:
"Secretary Gao!"
"Hello, Secretary Gao!"
Secretary Gao walked out quickly without pausing for a moment. Someone next to him followed and whispered:
"Secretary Gao, why did you bother coming here in person?"
Secretary Gao glanced at the man and said, "The person we're talking to this time is Xu Xiangxiao, so of course I have to come in person. I have to show her some respect."
He got into a Mercedes parked on the roadside and said something to the person next to him. The person nodded repeatedly after hearing it, trotted quickly, ran all the way to Xu Xiangxiao, and whispered to Xu Xiangxiao:
"Secretary Gao just said that he has an appointment with JX this afternoon. After he finishes talking to him, he will talk to you again. I believe you will change your mind."
Xu Xiangxiao looked into the distance and saw Secretary Gao get into the car. The driver respectfully closed the door for him, then returned to the driver's seat and closed the door with a bang.
The car sped away.
…
The cork made a soft "bo" sound and was quickly ejected by the champagne.
Amidst the thunderous applause, Wang Qian, wearing a red evening gown, smiled sweetly and clapped her hands gently.
This is the Golden Champagne Room of the Yulia Hotel.
The purpose of this banquet was to celebrate a deal that was very important to both parties.
——Li Xingliang terminated his contract with Rayark Entertainment and signed a contract with Haiya Entertainment instead.
Li Xingliang's entire team collectively jumped ship and joined Haiya.
If the news of this transaction were to get out, it would cause a huge uproar, countless media outlets would flock to the scene, and fans would be furious.
But at this point, the deal is satisfactory for both parties.
You should know that in order to allow Li Xingliang to terminate the contract, Haiya Entertainment paid a full 120 million yuan in liquidated damages to Raya Entertainment on his behalf.
With this money alone, Rayark Entertainment has achieved its annual revenue target for this year.
However, without Li Xingliang, the only cash cow, what to do next year becomes a problem.
People from Reya Entertainment and Haiya Entertainment sat together, chatting and laughing.
