Chapter 923 Arrangements are Clear
"Don't worry, I've got someone keeping an eye on it. By the way, Liu Mi's agent Li Ruoyao contacted me and wants to sign the entire team to our company."
Feng Jiming, who had already taken note of this during the previous meeting, naturally would not take it lightly.
As long as the audience's preliminary comments are controlled well, I believe that with the quality of this movie, it will not be a problem for the box office to exceed 150 million.
Considering the low cost of this film, the company made a lot of money.
"Doesn't Li Ruoyao have her own company?"
Zhou Anan knew something about Liu Mi's situation.
That Li Ruoyao is also a big shot in the agency circle. She runs an agency and is also a shareholder of a film and television company.
She has many second- and third-tier artists under her, and has trained some of the first-tier artists, so she is very capable.
Now, with her transformation in "The Shallows", Liu Mi will definitely have a place in the film and television industry in the future.
There is absolutely no need for such people to join Blue Whale Entertainment.
"Now that major investors are entering the film and television industry, Li Ruoyao seems to have fallen out with her partner and offended a certain group boss, and was severely suppressed. In addition, Liu Mi's entry into the film industry was very successful this time, so she wanted to join our company. After all, it won't take long for our Blue Whale to become an aircraft carrier."
".It's up to you to decide on this matter."
Listening to General Manager Feng's self-boasting, Zhou Anan felt embarrassed to continue flattering him and kicked the decision-making power back.
"Okay, come to the company this morning when you are free. I have an important issue to discuss with you."
"Is there anything you can't ask over the phone?"
Zhou Anan, who didn't want to go to the company to handle affairs, began to suffer from laziness.
He slowed down his pace, sat down in a breakfast shop while talking on the phone, picked up some breakfast and started eating.
"This question is very important. I need to communicate with you in person."
"Okay, I'll go over later."
"I'm waiting for you."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Anan ate breakfast leisurely. Looking at the young people rushing to work in front of the store, she suddenly felt the benefits of being rich.
Although money is evil, this evil "bad guy" makes countless people run for it all their lives.
After breakfast, Zhou Anan walked back to Nanzhouyuan, took a hot bath, drank a glass of water, watched the news before taking a car to the headquarters of Blue Whale Entertainment Group.
"Come on, what is it that must be said in person?"
Walking into the general manager's office, Zhou Anan looked at General Manager Feng who was carefully reviewing documents behind the desk, and sat down casually on the sofa next to him.
On the way into the building to the office, he listened to the routine report from the beautiful secretary and knew that there was nothing major happening in the company at the moment.
"Can you take a look at this?"
Seeing the major shareholder coming, Feng Jiming took out a piece of paper from the drawer, walked over and handed it to the other party.
"What?"
After taking the piece of paper and taking a look at it, Zhou Anan saw the online playback data of several new songs on the Jiangnanli Music website. Her eyebrows jumped and she looked at the other party in confusion.
"You prepared these songs for Zhang Yuhan's competition, right?"
Seeing that the major shareholder was pretending to be stupid and asking a question that he already knew the answer to, Feng Jiming didn't play guessing games with him and asked directly.
"How do you know?"
"Do I look like I have Alzheimer's? Although the second season of our Singer has not started yet, the basic competition system for the first five seasons has been established. The singers under our company uploaded a few targeted new songs at this time. Even a fool can see that. You want to make Zhang Yuhan the champion of the first season, but you are trying too hard."
Speaking of this, Feng Jiming looked at the calm major shareholder speechlessly.
It's just chasing a girl, and she's already in my arms. Is it really necessary to go to such great lengths?
In his opinion, the major shareholder must have developed real feelings for the girl.
"Only the top executives of our company's program group have seen the format of the first five episodes. How would others know? Besides, I asked our company's artists to sing these songs, so there was no waste of resources."
In this regard, Zhou Anan would never admit that he was abusing his power for personal gain, and said that he was also thinking about the company.
The few "new songs" he had in mind were all given to several female singers under the company to sing, and then Zhang Yuhan adapted them and promoted them with the help of the "Singer" platform.
Not only will it allow Zhang Yuhan to gain a head start in the first few episodes of the "Singer" program, gain enough advantages and attract enough popularity, but it will also allow the contracted artists under her own company to benefit in the name of the original creators.
Kill three birds with one stone and the arrangement is very clear.
"I didn't say that. What I wanted to say is that we signed several potential newcomers from the first season of The Voice of China, and we have to train them. Otherwise, The Voice of China will lose its appeal to those talented contestants, and the ratings will decline after the second season."
Instead of pursuing the major shareholder's behavior of abusing his power for personal gain, Feng Jiming simply expressed his concerns about the future of the company's flagship variety show.
The first season of The Voice of China was a huge success, and Blue Whale Entertainment also signed several contestants with good potential. But so far, except for Zhang Hanyi, who is among the top three, the rest can only be considered average.
Of course, General Manager Feng’s performance is, at best, much better than those 18th-tier singers.
At least the annual after-tax income of those newly signed talents exceeds one million, so no one would say that Blue Whale Entertainment is too harsh.
"The company has prepared an album of songs for Wan Keying. When she wins the top three in the second season, it will be a promotional business card."
Hearing General Manager Feng’s concerns, Zhou Anan talked about her previous plans.
The 'American version of Xiao Di' discovered by him was originally planning to release an album and make his debut, but was arranged by the company to participate in the second season of "The Voice of China", intending to make another debut after winning the top three.
Indirectly, it can also increase the value of the high-quality resources of Good Voice and increase its appeal to ordinary singers.
Not to mention that every signed artist is extremely popular, as long as there is a contestant active in the music scene every season, the credibility of the variety show "The Voice of China" can be maintained, attracting the public's attention and maintaining the ratings.
"That's true, but we still have to increase the training of other newcomers, so that the ratings of The Voice can be guaranteed."
"Don't look at me like that. I'm not Doraemon. I don't have that many good songs."
Facing General Manager Feng's eyes, Zhou Anan, who knew what the other party meant, directly stated his trump card.
With his 'shallow' musical accomplishment, he has already exhausted his talent to push Zhang Yuhan back to the throne of the queen of pop and take into account several newcomers.
Do you really think he is an all-round genius who can write a lot of good songs?
If he has that energy, wouldn't it be nice if he chatted with the girl about life?
"All right."
Seeing the other party say this, Feng Jiming did not force it.
“If you’re worried about the ratings of The Voice being affected, maybe you could change the show from one season per year to one season every two years.”
Regarding this point, Zhou Anan expressed an immature idea.
To increase the ratings of a variety show, not only new and innovative models are needed, but also potential contestants that can attract the audience and increase audience stickiness.
In the previous life, the one-year season of The Voice of China almost exhausted the potential of this variety show, but in the later stages, not many people cared about it anymore.
For example, "Ah, has the Voice of China started again?", "When did the Voice of China end?", "Hey, who is the champion of the Voice of China this year?".
Conversations like this often occur among many audiences.
The same variety show in the previous life, from an initial viewership rating of over 6 to a viewership rating of less than 1 point in the end, fully illustrates how a ace variety show was ruined.
"That's something we can consider. If the ratings for the third season aren't good, we can change it to one season every two years."
After listening to the advice of the major shareholder, Feng Jiming nodded.
As for now, the second season of The Voice of China, which has been a long-running hit, has hit new highs in ratings and is firmly ranked first in this year's variety show rankings, so there is no need to consider this issue.
"You asked me to come here today, aren't you just going to talk about this issue?"
After taking a sip of tea, Zhou Anan looked at General Manager Feng with a serious look.
"Of course not. I asked you to come here today because I really have a very important question."
Waving his hand, Feng Jiming returned to his desk, took out a document and handed it solemnly to the major shareholder.
