The albums of the top three contestants of the year's talent show all sold well. The excitement from last summer's competition has indeed not faded. Mr. Guan became the biggest winner and couldn't stop smiling in the company.
Wen Ying thought that Li Mengjiao's album would have the best sales. After all, last summer, Li Mengjiao was the most popular contestant. If Li Mengjiao was willing to sign the contract, the annual championship would not fall on Xu Mei.
Facts have proved that no matter how popular you are, if you don’t manage it seriously for half a year, your popularity will still fall off!
Li Mengjiao's publicity enthusiasm is lower than Xu Mei's.
Even in Li Mengjiao's base, Chengdu, Xu Mei appeared on several programs to promote the album.
While Li Mengjiao was studying hard at school, Xu Mei was flying all over the country. At the end of this semester, Xu Mei failed two elective courses and one required course. The publicity schedule obtained with such sacrifice was very effective. In terms of weekly album sales, Xu Mei temporarily took the first place.
Li Mengjiao is second.
And the gap between him and Zhang Yangning is not that big.
This is not to say that Li Mengjiao is too bad, but that Zhang Yangning is too strong.
Zhang Yangning chose Huang Yongjun as the album producer. Huang Yongjun has a group of fans in the mainland. Because of Huang Yongjun's reputation, Zhang Yangning's album is quite anticipated. Those who buy Zhang Yangning's album include not only her fans, but also Huang Yongjun's supporters.
Under such circumstances, Li Mengjiao can still maintain the second place in sales. Her group of fans attracted by the talent show are already impressive enough!
On the contrary, Xu Mei, with the help of resources from Professor Fang and Cao Shao, has become the most powerful newcomer in 2005.
It's only been two days since the album was released, and many music critics appeared out of nowhere and compared the albums of the top three contestants, praising two and criticizing one, praising the high standard of Xu Mei and Zhang Yangning's albums, and praising the song selection, the singers' performance, and even Xu Mei's MV.
Li Mengjiao became a pitiful control group. Music critics believed that Li Mengjiao's album lacked depth and that the producer from Taiwan was not adapted to the mainland music scene.
Fans who bought the album would not have noticed Yuan Fenghui. Some people deliberately dug up Yuan Fenghui's "bad deeds" in Taiwan, and felt that Li Mengjiao's choice of Yuan Fenghui to produce the album not only put her career in jeopardy, but also made her IQ a mystery!
“No matter how good your talent is, if you don’t take it seriously, it will only be a flash in the pan. Only after the test of time can we know who is truly suitable to be a singer.”
This is a criticism of Li Mengjiao for being unprofessional.
If everyone else is promoting your album but you are not, your album sales will naturally not be as good as Xu Mei's.
It sounds reasonable at first glance, but who is Yuan Fenghui? He could smell the truth from these dense reviews from music critics.
She actually underestimated Xu Mei. After finding a sponsor, Xu Mei even had enough money to buy press releases!
Yuan Fenghui was so angry that she wanted to tear Xu Mei apart with her bare hands.
Yuan Fenghui knew this trick, but she never used it. Unexpectedly, Xu Mei took the initiative.
Yuan Fenghui went to see Mr. Guan, hoping to get Xu Mei to be more restrained through Mr. Guan.
Mr. Guan, however, was a man of adaptability, and asked Yuan Fenghui whether she was willing to take Xu Mei with her.
"Professor Fang's resources are limited. Xu Mei now has such a good starting point. With your help, she will definitely be the strongest rising star this year!"
Yuan Fenghui is so busy worrying about Li Mengjiao that she doesn't have time to worry about it, so how could she agree to take Xu Mei with her?
She mentioned her old contract with CEO Guan, but CEO Guan had already stopped her: "Didn't you say Li Mengjiao would sign a contract? She hasn't signed yet. She only has one album contract with the company. Xu Mei's album production budget is only 300,000 more than hers. Judging by the current momentum, she might be able to earn the company an extra 3 million. If Li Mengjiao doesn't sign, the company's resources will definitely not be allocated to her."
We are all thousand-year-old foxes.
Yuan Fenghui wanted to promote Li Mengjiao, and General Guan had already seen it.
With Yuan Fenghui's methods, even Li Mengjiao couldn't be appeased. Either Yuan Fenghui was just in name only, or Yuan Fenghui was not seriously persuading Li Mengjiao to sign the contract.
No matter which possibility it is, it is a situation that Mr. Guan does not want to see.
Mr. Guan was very dissatisfied with Yuan Fenghui's passive resistance, but he waited until today to make trouble.
Li Mengjiao either signed the contract or had her album promotion strangled.
A young newcomer with no background in the industry has been fighting with the company. The fact that Mr. Guan has been able to endure it until today is a testament to his good manners.
If he is really led by a little girl, will Mr. Guan still want to stay in the industry in the future?
Of course, if Li Mengjiao can make a lot of money for the company, President Guan will have to endure it no matter how unhappy he is.
Now, Young Master Cao has brought greater benefits to General Guan. In order to support Xu Mei, Young Master Cao wants to suppress Li Mengjiao. General Guan also wants to completely conquer Li Mengjiao and recruit Yuan Fenghui, and he takes advantage of the situation to show his stepmother's face in front of Yuan Fenghui.
At this moment, Yuan Fenghui truly recognized Mr. Guan.
The capitalists in the mainland are no more charitable than those in Taiwan. Everyone has a difficult face, it just depends on when it will be exposed.
"That idol drama on Hunan TV that was supposed to be reserved for Li Mengjiao, is that role gone now?"
Yuan Fenghui's question made Mr. Guan laugh.
Mr. Guan didn't reply, "...Anyway, please hurry up on your end."
If Li Mengjiao doesn't sign the contract, then give up on this girl as soon as possible.
It is true that Xu Mei now has resources, but he lacks a driving force behind the integration of resources for Xu Mei.
Professor Fang is not good enough, and neither is Professor Cao. Yuan Fenghui is the most capable one.
Yuan Fenghui suppressed her annoyance and smiled at Director Guan: "I will take this matter to heart."
When he returned to the office, Yuan Fenghui almost smashed the computer screen.
Mr. Guan's attitude would not change so quickly. Someone must be putting pressure on him to make him see greater benefits.
Xu Mei doesn't have such ability.
Although the album sales in the first week were better than Li Mengjiao’s, they were not sky-high!
It’s that Young Master Cao!
——Very good!
Yuan Fenghui slammed the table.
If she hadn't arranged a retreat in advance, would she have really been strangled by the young man?
Wen Ying asked Tianjiao Film and Television to shoot Zhang Guangzhen's script first. Yuan Fenghui didn't agree with it at first, but now he has changed his mind.
Li Mengjiao is now in an unfavorable situation. On one hand, Xu Mei is buying press releases, and on the other hand, General Guan is ruthless and turns his face against her. Li Mengjiao's future is no longer a smooth road.
The more this is the case, the more Li Mengjiao's first TV series cannot be taken lightly.
It’s not enough to just have high ratings, it has to be both a box office hit and well-received!
Yuan Fenghui has a fire burning in her heart. This fire was ignited when she was betrayed by the boy band she made famous. Until today, she has not found a channel to vent her anger. Mr. Guan's actions are undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire!
…
Li Mengjiao's album sales are actually not as good as Xu Mei's?
Wen Ying’s first reaction was that Xu Mei had forged the facts again.
Anyway, there was a vote fraud during the competition, so Wen Ying looked at Xu Mei with suspicion.
Then came the music critics' disparaging comments about Li Mengjiao—"These people are paid to work, and they don't even try to hide it. Are they so blatant about taking money?"
Wen Ying earned a considerable sum of money by writing scripts and was planning to have a happy Spring Festival, but her good mood was ruined in an instant.
