Capítulo 82: Poaching
Since the release of the album, Ling Ming had blown up all over the country, she had even attracted fans from Japan, South Korea, Singapore and other places.
Many fans had tried to find more info on Ling Ming but she just seemed to have evaporated into the air, disappearing without a trace except for her singing. No one could get any specific news on her.
Every day, HuaXiang Entertainment received a lot of reporters trying to find info from Yuan Datong. But Yuan Datong was tight-lipped, in addition to using the media to help advertise Ling Ming's next album and concert, he gave away no other information.
During this period of time, many advertisers personally came to HuaXiang Entertainment to find Zhang Xiaohua, hoping to discuss cooperation matters, but they were all rejected by Zhang Xiaohua. There was only one reason: It was not yet time for Ling Ming to show up, the current advertisement was good enough for now, and there would be many more opportunities in the future.
The most important thing was that Zhang Xiaohua didn't want Ling Ming to become like Wang Jingwen, ruining the future for the sake of some temporary benefits!
Fortunately, Ling Ming was more sensible and listened to Zhang Xiaohua. If she behaved like Wang Jingwen did, Zhang Xiaohua would surely have a headache.
At the same time, Ling Ming also completely replaced Wang Jingwen's position in the fans' minds, and Wang Jingwen also disappeared from the public eye.
This was how the entertainment circle was. Some people would be easily remembered, while others would be neglected.
Today, Ling Ming's first album was officially sold out, and the sales revenue had reached a total of 100 million yuan. This was the first time in years that someone broke into the platinum sales rank in Huaxia. Ling Ming had firmly climbed on the throne of the Huaxia music scene. The industry was in quite a stir, it had caused a lot of impact on many music companies. The signboard of HuaXiang Entertainment was officially established in the entertainment industry. Zhang Xiaohua's name was widely circulated, he was dubbed as the new generation's music wizard, compared to Ling Ming reputation, Zhang Xiaohua was not too inferior in fame at least to the industry insiders.
To the fans, now that was an entirely different question.
Yuan Datong, Emma, Xiaohai, Haozi, Jimmy, and Jack had all become famous musicians, making all major music companies envious. Many companies had set their sights on them.
Whether it was Wang Jingwen or Ling Ming, there was nothing remarkable. The behind-the-scenes team that created the music for them was the real key.
But Yuan Datong knew well enough that without Zhang Xiaohua, they were nothing.
If even a dog knew how to be loyal. As people, how could they allow themselves to get shown up?
...
New Century Entertainment, Top Floor, Conference room.
The atmosphere of the conference room was quite dignified. All the executives and shareholders were frowning, they were dead silent and sullen.
Thanks to their last project they not only lost more than 150 million yuan but the recent performance of the company had been plummeting, especially in the music sector, the moral of the music division of the company was low and this reflected in their works.
Seeing all the people present slouching, Cao Dequan suddenly smacked the table, and glanced at the high-level personnel present. He said: "Do you think just sitting there looking down is helping anyone? What I want are options goddamnit! Ways to improve the company's performance as soon as possible."
The senior executives looked at each other and then bowed their heads, seemingly discouraged and unable to do anything.
Only one person gathered his courage and proposed: "We can attempt to poach Ling Ming, just like we did with Wang Jingwen."
When this came out, everyone recovered a bit of spirit and raised their heads, as if they saw the dawn, indicating that the plan was feasible.
"I agree. If we can dig up Ling Ming, we won't need to do anything to raise her up, HuaXiang have already made her into a great product, we can jug her to the advertising companies and tv studios for appearance fees, we can still make a profit off her." An executive excitedly joined.
Bang!
Cao Dequan was livid, he slammed the table repeatedly, shouting: "What a group of useless trash, all you know is poaching this and poaching that. Do you want the company to invest in Ling Ming just to lose another 150 million yuan!? What, was Wang Jingwen not enough for you!?"
The executives all bowed their heads and went silent again.
At this time, Cao Feifei suddenly got an idea. She couldn't help but smile: "I've got it, why bother with the singer when you can dig up the music producers instead!"
"Think about it, how come Wang Jingwen failed but Ling Ming blew up? It is because there is an amazing team creating music for her behind the scenes. In addition, I think no one in this world knows Zhang Xiaohua better than me and what I have never been able to figure out is... how did this waste of the past suddenly become a musical genius? Now I finally understand, the key isn't Zhang Xiaohua, but the people under him. So, let's just pull up those people from under him. Then, we won't have to dig around for stars in the future, because we can always create our own stars."
"Gao Xiaosong is falling behind the times, you saw how the fans responded to the new songs."
"I agree with the proposal of General Manager Cao. I have also seen the music videos for Wang Jingwen and Ling Ming, I noticed one thing, that is... Yuan Datong, Emma, Xiaohai, Haozi, Jimmy, Jack all appear in all the arrangers credit roll. These people are indeed musical geniuses. If we can bring these people together, then we can become like HuaXiang Entertainment!"
One shareholder said with excitement, and all the others agreed.
Cao Dequan was in a dilemma. With his relationship with the Zhang's in the past, he understood the relationship between them and Yuan Datong. After all, Yuan Datong had once saved Zhang Xiaohua's life, the feelings between the two should very deep, to get him to switch sides and betray Zhang Xiaohua... that would be nigh to impossible.
Cao Feifei seemed to have seen into the mind of Cao Dequan. She smiled lightly and confidently: "Dad, hand this matter over to me. I understand Yuan Datong. His thoughts are very simple. It's easy to get into his mind. What's more, there is no one in the world who doesn't love money. As long as we show sincerity, how can he not be tempted? Look at Wang Jingwen, isn't she a perfect example?"
Looking at the confident Cao Feifei, Cao Dequan could not help but feel gratified. It seemed that this girl was getting wiser, so he didn't hesitate and said to Cao Feifei: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you. Dad expects to hear some good news."
"Please Dad, rest assured, I won't let you down!" Cao Feifei raised her chest and promised, she was confident that she had enough to get this done.
