They also offered generous compensation and benefits.
Wang Yueheng directly rejected such an invitation.
For him, releasing songs across the entire internet is still the best way to boost his popularity.
Unless one day we have our own independent music platform.
Only then will he consider the possibility of exclusive entry.
"Since they don't believe I can keep writing songs that bring popularity."
"Then let's show the penguins with our actions that you've completely miscalculated!"
...
Shenzhen, headquarters of Tencent (the parent company of Tencent).
"Beep beep beep..."
I could hear the busy tone coming from the phone.
Deng Yongqiong, the female manager of the legal department, and a group of senior executives from the Tencent platform sitting around her all wore frosty expressions.
They didn't expect it to be just a normal sale of singers' songs.
How could this have provoked such strong resentment from Wang Yueheng that he deleted all of his works from the platform at once?
Such behavior.
This directly led to them having to refund all the money from the tens of millions of yuan in digital album sales to the platform users!
The money that was within reach has vanished, which is something no company management can accept.
"Mr. Lu, how about I go meet with this singer and renegotiate the cooperation agreement?"
Among the executives present, Kong Shizhuang, the department manager in charge of artist liaison, spoke first.
The person referred to as "General Manager Lu" is Lu Shoujun, who has just been parachuted into Tencent Entertainment as the operations manager.
This paid album plan is one of the three initiatives he has launched since taking office.
The aim was to boost the group's sluggish stock price by increasing cash inflows in this way.
And to help oneself obtain better opportunities for promotion within the group.
They just didn't expect to run into such a tough nut to crack as Wang Yueheng right from the start.
Other singers whose digital albums were also sold, except for a very few who raised objections to the revenue sharing ratio.
Most people chose to remain silent and count their money.
"There's no need for that. Since he insists on distancing himself from the Tencent platform, let him be."
"I don't believe our platform can't survive without one new singer!"
Faced with his subordinates' questions, Lu Shoujun spoke with a stern face.
He had also listened to Wang Yueheng's songs, and indeed, each one was of excellent quality.
But this does not mean that the singer has the capital to be on equal footing with the Tencent platform.
Even Chen Chusheng, the super champion singer who was truly chosen by a nationwide vote of one person, one vote.
Shouldn't they be banned for disobeying orders?
Have any TV stations or platforms gone bankrupt or suffered losses as a result?
Not to mention that Wang Yueheng is a newcomer who hasn't even finished a full talent show.
He had just taken office when he was met with such conditions and constraints from a new singer.
If word gets out, I'll be scorned by my industry peers!
"Furthermore, from now on, any celebrity invitations related to Penguin activities will be completely excluded from his scope!"
"By the way, I heard he also participated in the recording of the latest episode of 'Infinite Challenge'?"
Lu Shoujun looked at the person in charge of Tencent Video and asked.
"Yes, he was a guest star in Xilin Gol and sang several new songs on the show."
The person in charge of Tencent Video nodded in agreement.
"Then notify the Infinite Challenge production team to remove all footage of Wang Yueheng in post-production before releasing it on Tencent Video; otherwise, it will be considered a breach of contract."
Lu Shoujun said expressionlessly.
Tencent Video is also a dominant player in the industry, having secured the exclusive online streaming rights for "Infinite Challenge".
"Okay... I understand, I'll let them know later..."
Upon hearing the new manager's order, Zhou Linrong, the head of Tencent Video, sighed inwardly.
This singer is truly fearless and daring.
A great opportunity for development has been ruined by our own actions.
"Tell all departments that unless Wang Yueheng puts the song back on the shelves, don't even think about getting any promotional resources from me!"
Then, Operations Manager Lu Shoujun spoke in a cold tone.
