Chapter 436 Extra Large Cornucopia

The car stopped steadily, Zhuang Meiyue picked up the sunglasses and put it on, subconsciously looked up.

This is a well-known restaurant in the entire entertainment industry. It is called "Xiangqing Small Restaurant". It is said that it has registered a trademark. It has been open for six or seven years. Up to now, it has seven or eight branches across the country up.

The owner of this restaurant is He Runqing.

Before the driver came to open the door, Zhuang Meiyue pushed the door open by herself, and at the same time turned around and said to the assistant beside her, "You guys go back first." She also specifically said to the driver: "Brother Zhou, please send Xiaomei back! "

The driver, Lao Zhou, agreed happily, and said, "Don't worry, it will be delivered to your home as soon as possible, and I will be back to pick you up when the time comes."

Zhuang Meiyue smiled, and her assistant gave a few more words of advice. She waved her hand to signal her reassurance, then closed the car door, and walked into this "small restaurant".

After entering, the room number was reported, and even though Zhuang Meiyue was wearing sunglasses, the front desk clerk still looked awe-inspiring, and hurriedly led Zhuang Meiyue over——While following behind the waiter, Zhuang Meiyue was still serious Looking at the layout and layout of the restaurant, I was envious in my heart.

In the circle of singers, and even in the entire showbiz circle, He Runqing was well known for making money well.

Not only is she extremely diligent, she is diligent in releasing albums, participating in performances, and holding concerts. She even makes small gains in business, which is rare in the entertainment industry. After so many years, she can basically do everything sustainably One of the people who will continue to do it and gradually grow bigger. In short, she is very good at making money.

Zhuang Meiyue knows that she has just started, and the most important thing right now must be singing, the music career. But I have to say that it has been almost two years since I entered Minghu Culture, and now I have finally released my first album, and it has become a big hit. She knows that as long as she does not leave Minghu Culture, her future is bright. It's bright and bright, and it won't be long before she gets her sales share, and she will start to have a little money... So, at this point, people have no worries about hunger and hunger, and they have no future I was so confused, I really started to think about things that I wouldn't have thought about at all without knowing it.

For example, after earning money, what should I do?

Like He Runqing, she was born as a poor child. Entering this line of business, and even getting to the present stage, is a bit of a mistake. Therefore, she cherishes everything she has obtained.

Because of this, facing the upcoming "huge sum of money", she was very excited, but at the same time she had no intention of squandering it. Instead, she immediately began to think about how to arrange the money, let them move, and use the money for herself Make money.

Opening a restaurant seems to be the common choice of many people in the industry.

Because the threshold for doing this is relatively low, it is easier to do, and you can also use some contacts in the industry and your own external influence to attract a large number of star-chasing customers.

Looking around in his eyes, thinking wildly in his mind, before he knew it, the waiter who was walking in front had stopped, knocked on the door of a private room, and got a response from inside, then opened the door and said: "Mr. , your guest is here."

After finishing speaking, she turned away, and the petite Zhuang Meiyue saw the situation in the private room clearly, and couldn't help smiling, "Wow, you are all here!"

The private room was full of guests.

Seeing that it was Zhuang Meiyue who came, Zhou Ye couldn't help but be the first to speak before the owner He Runqing could speak, "Yo, the little queen is here!"

While he was speaking, everyone had already pushed the table and stood up.

This party was called by He Runqing, and it was named as a celebration of the success of "At Least You" in the small circle, and it was stated in advance that all the younger brothers and sisters in the company were invited.

So, apart from herself, all the singers here today are newly signed singers from Minghu Culture in the past two years.

There are Ge Rilen and Zhao Yuan who are in the same group as Zhuang Meiyue, Wang Nanhao and Zhou Ye who joined the company not long ago, of course, there are also Xie Bing, Sun Ruoxuan and Wang Jingxue, but it seems that the three of them have not arrived yet. .

Basically, apart from Liao Liao and Zhou Mo, the singers of the entire Minghu Culture Company are gathered today.

Zhuang Meiyue went in, greeted Gerilan, Zhao Yuan, and the others, and made a gesture of clasping her hands together to beg for mercy at Zhou Ye, and said, "Brother Ye, we are on our own, so don't laugh at me, okay?" Sister Runqing can sit here, she is the serious queen!"

While talking, He Runqing smiled and pulled her to sit next to him, and said with a smile: "Don't say that, how old am I, how old are you, in a few years, I will be semi-retired, and I will help you make albums or something Yes, you are the future kings and queens!"

Everyone laughed and sat down one after another.

Some of those present here are considered rising stars in the music scene, such as Zhou Ye, Zhuang Meiyue, and others, such as Zhao Yuan and Ge Rilen, whose albums are about to be released. Of course, they are all happy to listen to such a big hit.

After everyone sat down, the waiter came in and filled the tea one by one, and then exited, He Runqing said again: "Xiaoyue is great, and the finish is beautiful. For the next June, it depends on the source. With you, Gerilan, you are in charge of August, don’t be lazy during the promotion period, August is a tough battle!"

Zhao Yuan and Gerilan both smiled and nodded when they heard the words.

Although they are all confident in their albums, after all, although their albums were not written by Li Qian, but including the title song, more than half of the works in their albums are given by Li Qian, the standard is naturally extremely high , However, seeing that the work that has been worked hard for a year is about to be released, they are both looking forward to it and apprehensive as two novices in the music industry.

The strategy jointly formulated by President Qi Jieqi and Li Qian for the company is very clear.

In the record market, Liao Liao and He Runqing are two big brands. The rise of Rose Power and the inevitable joining of Zhou Mo will make the company full of strength in this area. In addition, there is another one that already has the world. The invincible Four Great Beauties are in charge of the formation, and the company's dominance in the record market has already completed a semicircle.

And the remaining half of the circle will naturally depend on their group of rising stars.

With Zhuang Meiyue's debut, Dongguan Bookstore sold nearly 30,000 in the first week, and broke 30,000 in the second and third weeks, ranking below the top four beauties, ranking second in weekly sales. I was so annoyed and miserable that I was suppressed, and it was not until last week that she finally rushed up, but even so, "At Least There Are You" still has nearly 30,000 copies in a single week!

It can be said that there will be no problem for this album to exceed 4 million or 5 million in the future.

Therefore, Zhuang Meiyue's first shot was a good start.

Then, the pressure will naturally be transferred to Zhao Yuan who will release an album in June.

Zhao Yuan in June, Geri Leng in August, and then... there is nothing to worry about in October, because Rose Power is in charge. At present, they are really popular to a certain extent. The entire domestic music scene, except for the four The Beauty Band is sure to be able to steadily overwhelm them, and even Liao Liao is only slightly higher than them, and the advantage is not too great.

Of course, Liao Liao's achievements have been accumulated over the past few years, four or five albums one by one. From the beginning to the end, her national queen's achievements are terribly stable, and no matter how strong Rose is, it is only the first album after all. It's just an album. If they want to challenge Liao Liao's current status in the arena, they will have to sell at least two more copies.

As for after October, He Runqing is responsible for finishing the year.

Of course, this was the original plan, but now, the plan obviously cannot keep up with the changes, because according to the latest arrangement, Liao Liao's global album will be released simultaneously globally in June-this is obviously a huge sales bomb.

However, Zhao Yuan's release in June is an established strategy to promote newcomers, and the company does not plan to adjust the release date of his album, so Zhao Yuan will be listed under the huge pressure of the big sister, and this pressure will suddenly return. Doubling!

On the contrary, Zhou Ye, in the long run, is under a lot of pressure, but in the near future, he just joined the company, just like Wang Nanhao who signed in not long ago, he is still in the adaptation and adjustment period, the new album is not so anxious, you can take it easy Do it slowly and ensure that it can be listed within the next year.

However, after admonishing Zhao Yuan and Ge Rilen, He Runqing looked at Zhou Ye and Wang Nanhao with a smile, and said with a smile: "Remove Li Qian, the company is currently a typical situation where yin flourishes and yang declines, so from the top Next, I really have high expectations for you four boys. I won’t talk about Zhou Ye. When Li Qian and Liao Liao just came back a few days ago, we had a small meeting and mentioned you. Liao Liao took a picture of you. Chest, take your album over, I don’t care about her if you worry about it. Then, Nan Hao, Li Qian values ​​your creative ability very much. Next, you should save up your songs and try to be released by the end of this year. If I can start making it, then I will watch the time, if my new album is finished, I will make it for you, if I am not finished, it must be Lao He who will take care of you, his level, you can rest assured!"

Wang Nanhao nodded gratefully when he heard the words, his face turned red with excitement, "Well, I will definitely work hard."

But Zhou Ye immediately yelled, "Stop, sister Runqing, you have nowhere to listen to what my sister said! She told me to do it, and maybe something will get sidetracked at that time! At that time, you still have to You have to support me, so that I can have some confidence in my heart!"

He Runqing gave him a blank look with a smile, and nodded at him, "I'll pass your words on to Liao Liao later, and see what she says!"

Zhou Ye was taken aback when he heard the words, and quickly raised his hand in surrender, "Okay, I'll tell Sister Zhou about this later."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and then burst out laughing.

That's right, don't care what Zhou Ye said to Zhou Mo, it's obviously impossible for Zhou Mo to spread the word!

But after laughing, He Runqing said: "But have you ever thought about it, your sister Zhou can talk to Li Qian!"

Zhou Ye shrugged.

Everyone laughed again.

This is basically the case in the company now.

Liao Liao is very strong. She is not only strong as the queen of the country, but also an indispensable member of the four beauties. Therefore, her own weight is already very heavy. Her identity made her in the company absolutely subordinate to everyone and above everyone else. Even Qi Jie, the general manager, has no higher status than her.

And as Zou Wenhuai became the artist director of the company, he began to strongly intervene in the company's affairs. At the same time, as we all know, once Zhou Mo's concert is over, she will definitely join the company next.

At that time, everyone was worried that they would accidentally get involved in the fight between the two proprietresses.

Under such circumstances, in Minghu culture, the status is no lower than that of Liao Liao, and the qualifications and status in the world are enough to be tied with Liao Liao and Zhou Mo without falling behind. There is almost only one He Runqing left, and He Runqing is already She is very popular, so, as one can imagine, almost subconsciously, the group of new singers in the company all gathered around her one after another.

Even Zhou Ye... Don't look at his close relationship with Liao Liao, but when it comes to this kind of matter, both sides are Li Qian's women, so of course he doesn't want to be involved.

On He Runqing's side, she took over the burden very consciously.

As the company's deputy music director, as a veteran who has been in the music world for many years, she consciously brought her relationship with these little brothers and sisters closer.

She is very clear about her future position in the company, that is: to be a buffer zone between Liao Liao and Zhou Mo, and at the same time, try to pull other people into the middle as much as possible.

At this time, everyone was following the topic He Runqing brought up, drinking tea and chatting, but Wang Nanhao blushed and said: "Well...Sister Runqing, if I release an album at that time, will Brother Qian feel that I If you can write songs yourself, then...just..."

He Runqing was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, then she couldn't help laughing, she put down the teacup, and she said, "Don't worry! You were signed by him himself. When we chatted and talked about things together, he was very optimistic about you, inside and out. At that time, if he feels that your album is not enough, can he give you more weight?"

After a pause, she said again: "Besides, so many people in the company release albums, and he sings them all. Will you give them?"

Wang Nanhao turned his head and thought about it when he heard the words, he seemed to think it made sense, he nodded immediately, and said a little shyly: "That's right! But, Sister Runqing, when Brother Qian mentions me again, please help me say a few words Sentence, although I can write songs, the songs I write are definitely incomparable to those written by Brother Qian. Therefore, if I make an album, I still hope that Brother Qian can write a few songs for me. "

For Wang Nanhao's careful thinking, the newcomers here certainly feel the same way. When He Runqing recalled her experience of dealing with Li Qian in the past few years, she couldn't help but feel emotional, and immediately smiled and said: "You, don't be old. You are so cautious, you have been here for several months, you should have noticed that although our company is getting bigger and bigger, it is different from other companies."

After a pause, she said with a smile: "Xiaoyue and the others won't talk about it, they are all pure rookies signed in, but others, like me, like Liao Liao, and you, Zhou Ye, etc. Anyone who has worked in a record company understands that a company has limited resources, production capacity, ability to invite songs, including artists, and even a few recording studios, and the publicity when it goes public is even more different. , why, because the total amount of resources they can use is indeed limited. Then in a company, you have so many colleagues, in order to get better and more resources, of course you have to fight! But in our company, just None of these things will happen."

Speaking of this, she smiled, drank a cup of tea, and continued: "In terms of publicity, spend money, our company's generosity, you should have seen Xiaoyue's album, right? She is a newcomer, But the publicity plan made by Mr. Qi and the others, the money spent is no less than anyone else! Then, in terms of resources..."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help laughing even more, and said: "I have said this when I talked to Liao Liao. With Li Qian here, our company has a song that will almost never run out. library!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone immediately laughed knowingly again.

Indeed... In the few years since their debut, almost every year, at least 20 or 30 works and as many as 30 or 50 works are taken out, and without exception, they are all high-quality works, all of which are at the level of the title song, from the earliest Liao Liao and Wuxing Wu Su, followed by He Runqing, the Four Great Beauties, Rose Power, and now Zhuang Meiyue, who is now known as the "Love Song Queen", relying on his almost incomprehensible creative ability, Li Qian has traveled all the way. With one hand and one foot, the current Minghu culture has been spelled out.

As long as his creative ability is not exhausted, in theory, Minghu Culture can distribute resources as fairly as possible, so as not to make the relationship between singers in the company like those companies outside. For a new song, they almost had to rack their brains to grab the scalp, and in the end everyone was at odds.

While everyone was laughing, the waiter knocked on the door again, and the door opened. Sure enough, Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue, and Sun Ruoxuan came in with apologetic faces. I went out ten minutes late, but the car was stuck in the middle of the road... You have been here for a long time, right?"

Everyone stood up and said, "It's not too late!"

The three of them sat down, and everyone chatted casually. After the waiter finished refilling the tea, He Runqing ordered the food to be served.

Obviously, as a landlord, she had already ordered the menu.

And after the waiter served two dishes, she had already poured the red wine for everyone, and then she stood up, seeing everyone standing up with wine glasses, she said with a smile: "Come on, now, I guess Li Qian and Liao Liao are still in the recording studio, we don't care about them, we eat our food and drink our food. Today, we are celebrating the success of Xiaoyue's new album. At the same time, we also want to wish Zhao Yuan He Gerilen's album is a big hit, and finally, my sister's concert is about to start, you will definitely go to support her, this is also a thank you to everyone, come on, let's cheer!"

Everyone was talking and laughing, leaning over to the center to clink glasses, saying congratulations and blessings.

After drinking, Zhou Ye turned around and sat down, but Zhou Ye couldn't help but said: "However, I think the first two things Sister Runqing said are very good, and it's the last one... You have so many things to worry about with this table of wine. It’s settled, isn’t it good? I also thought about bringing my brothers to your restaurant for a few more meals!”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed.

He Runqing also laughed, and then said: "Xie Bing and the others have all three of them, I'll give each of you a VIP card later, okay?"

Everyone responded with a bang.

…………

All kinds of good dishes were served in a flowing manner, and the speed of serving the dishes was extremely fast. Everyone was young, and they were eating, drinking and chatting at the same time, and the atmosphere during the meeting was extremely lively.

After everyone respected Zhuang Meiyue one by one, they gradually began to chat in twos and threes. At this time, Zhuang Meiyue had already had more than one drink and was a little bit drunk, but she felt that she was in a very good state, so she couldn't help turning her head to look To He Runqing who was beside her, after a while, she couldn't help leaning over and whispered, "Sister Runqing, how much does it cost to open a restaurant as big as yours?"

When He Runqing heard the words, she turned her head and looked at her in surprise, and immediately understood what she meant. After a pause, she also leaned over and said in a low voice: "You, don't worry about this, wait until you get the money later. Listen to me, let it go first, don't vote for anything."

After a pause, seeing Zhuang Meiyue's puzzled face, she leaned over and whispered to her again, "At the end of last year, Li Qian mentioned that next, he plans to recruit several shareholders internally... Do you understand? ?”

Zhuang Meiyue was stunned for a long time when she heard the words, and then slowly widened her eyes.

At this moment, He Runqing smiled and said: "Okay, as long as you know it, it's better to invest in the company than to do anything, right?"

When she said this, her voice was a little louder, and Zhou Ye who was sitting next to her heard half of it, and couldn't help asking, He Runqing had no choice but to repeat what she had just said.

When she was talking, she observed carefully and found that Xie Bing and the others didn't have much reaction, so she knew that the three of them had already heard the news, but Zhou Ye, Zhao Yuan, and Ge Rilen didn't He was taken aback for a while.

In the industry, or even in the entire domestic entertainment industry, as far as they know, there is no company that makes more money than Minghu Culture—the albums they release are sold out, and the concerts they hold are always reported by the performers. The sky-high price, it can be said that since its establishment, Minghu Culture has never lost money on anything it has done, and almost everything has an amazing input-output ratio!

So, you can imagine how high its profit margin must be, and how high its return on investment should be!

But because of this, the company is definitely not short of money!

However, there are no fools here. When they first heard the news, they were shocked, but soon, everyone came to their senses: the boss is going to give money to the internal singers!

As for the reason, it's very simple, and it's nothing rare to say: only by turning everyone into shareholders, can this plate grow bigger and bigger! Otherwise, just relying on a contract and a little kindness to make people popular, the binding force is limited after all. If the company spends a lot of effort to make people popular, and after selling a few copies, it will become famous, and some people will become famous. Job hopping?

But now, a shareholding allows you to come in as a shareholder and share the money, but it puts everyone on the same chariot!

In this way, although it is hard to say that job-hopping can be completely controlled, at least, the more everyone's interests are aligned, the less such things will definitely happen!

…………

With just such a news, the topics on the wine table suddenly became unified again.

Don't care if they are rich, compared to He Runqing, Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue, and Sun Ruoxuan, they are still not very rich at the moment, such as Zhuang Meiyue, Ge Rilen, and Zhao Yuan, and they already have a little savings. But Zhou Ye, who is actually limited, is obviously very interested in becoming a shareholder of the company.

Hearing everyone's discussions, Zhuang Meiyue suddenly felt relieved.

If the share she will get next can be turned into shares of the company, that is of course the last investment method she can think of—one is that she has been in the company for nearly two years, even if she does not know the specific The financial situation, and knowing that the company's annual profits are extremely high, and the second is completely based on the absolute trust in the current company's few leaders who are almost undiminished.

From Li Qian, to Qi Jie, to Liao Liao, He Runqing, He Wei... From a newcomer who didn't understand anything, she just walked all the way, and two years later, she has become a hit, and she knows these people , Familiar with the behavior of these people, I feel at ease with them.

As a result, her investment idea that had just arisen a few days ago disappeared instantly at this moment.

So, when Zhou Ye suggested that everyone should have a toast for the boss's wise decision, she, who has always been reticent, not only responded positively, but also took a big sip which was rare.

Taking a big sip of the wine into the throat, it feels extremely tender and smooth.

But then, He Runqing smiled and poured cold water, "Don't be too happy, you don't know what will happen! Especially, our boss has become obsessed with filming and TV series recently. Now, I don't know what the result will be. What! If your money happens to be invested in, and the film and television drama invested by the boss loses... Hehe, then you will be cheated by him!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words.

The people here all make music, and they really don't know much about the business of film and television.

Therefore, when He Runqing said this, everyone would naturally be a little subconsciously worried.

So afterward, it was still Zhou Ye who couldn't help but ask, "So, sister Runqing, what about you? When the time comes to really bring up this matter, will you become a shareholder?"

He Runqing said without hesitation after hearing the words: "Of course I will join! I will pay as much as the quota he gives me, it's a waste of money!"

I don't know if what He Runqing said was too natural. There is a big gap with the attitude she used to scare everyone just now, so everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Immediately, Sun Ruoxuan was the first to react and could not help but He bowed his head and laughed.

Soon, everyone understood.

"Huh……"

Everyone looked at He Runqing, the eldest sister, with contempt, and booed mercilessly in return.

He Runqing herself laughed indifferently.

That's right, that's Li Qian!

Although it's hard to say what the outcome of investing in film and television will be, what if you lose a little? As long as his musical talent is not exhausted, Minghu Culture, at least in terms of music, will definitely be a super-sized cornucopia!

…………

While everyone was talking and laughing, Wang Nanhao's cell phone rang suddenly.

He hurriedly took out his mobile phone, saw that it was his manager Lu Yue's number, and connected it. Lu Yue said, "Just now I know, the boss and the others have finished recording, so remember, don't drink too much at night. Go to the company early and line up!"

"Uh..." Wang Nanhao was stunned for a moment before he realized that his eyes lit up immediately, "Okay, I got it!"

He hung up the phone, only to find that everyone was looking at him curiously, and then he realized that he might have acted a little too excited, so his voice was a bit loud, and his face immediately felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, no one spoke, but He Runqing spoke and broke the silence. She smiled and said, "The recording over there is over, right? Your manager hastened to inform you when he received the news? Tell you to queue up early tomorrow?"

Wang Nanhao was stunned again.

After a while, he blushed and nodded, "Yeah".

He Runqing shrugged when he heard the words, glanced around the table, and said helplessly: "Yes, it's a good banquet... You must not dare to drink too much now, right?"

While talking, she put down her wine glass and said with a smile: "That's right, let's all get up early tomorrow, let's line up together, and seeing him now is not as easy as it used to be!"

***

It's too late, I don't know if it's too late.
