The road to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry

After returning to the office, Liu Hui sat on the office chair with his legs crossed, feeling very comfortable.

I went to the conference room and saved nearly 300 million yuan in salary for the company. Although the money is not much, it can at least relieve the pressure on funds.

Liu Hui didn't care too much about the free termination of the company's artists.

When he selected people to sing "Single Love Song" the day before yesterday, he saw the ability of those three little fresh meats. At that time, he had the idea of ​​cleaning up the company's artists.

But if the company voluntarily terminates the contract, it will have to pay compensation, and the amount is not a small sum.

In today's matter, he is just pushing the boat along the way.It not only cleaned up the artists, but also saved a lot of expenses for the company.

The biggest difficulty facing the company now is not the lack of artists, but the lack of funds.

Thinking that in ten days, there will be a 1000 million bank loan that needs to be repaid, Liu Hui, who had just felt better, started to have a headache again.

"Where are you going to get the money?"

"The bank won't grant the loan."

"Is it true that you can only use my mother's family property?"

Liu Hui rubbed his temples with his hands.

"How did I forget the income from "Single Love Song"?"

Liu Hui patted his thigh.

The third round of the Songwriting Contest has ended.

The 12 songs in the competition will be available for download on the Tangxiaguo Music Network at midnight this morning.

For each download, one Tang Xia currency is charged.

The download income of songs is divided into [-]% by music websites and [-]% by copyright owners.

It is more than 10 o'clock in the morning, and it has been ten hours since the download was opened. I don't know how many downloads the song is now?
Thinking of this, Liu Hui took out his mobile phone and opened the website of Tangxiaguo Music Network.

For the convenience of netizens who pay attention to the songwriting competition, the music website specially made a download ranking list for the competition.

Liu Hui quickly found the link to the leaderboard and clicked on it.

Songwriting contest song download leaderboard.

No.1, Shengshi Entertainment, Gao Fei, "Love and Not Love", singer Tan Xianglong, with 653 million downloads.

No.2, Xianfei Entertainment, Xiao Lian, "Love and Freedom", singer Guo Yonghua, with 318 million downloads.

No.3, Xinhui Entertainment, Liu Hui, "Single Love Song", singer Ling Zhiyu, with 302 million downloads.

No. 4...

Seeing that the song he wrote was only ranked No.3, Liu Hui couldn't believe it.

"Gao Fei's song downloads are more than double that of his own?"

"Downloads are shady?"

Liu Hui quickly dismissed this idea.

Tang Xiaguo's network management is very perfect, and everyone who surfs the Internet has a real name system.

The download volume is calculated according to the real-name system. No matter how many times the same person downloads, the website only counts the download volume once.

"There is no shady, is there any other reason?"

Thinking of this, Liu Hui opened a well-known news website, he wanted to see if there were any different reports in the news.

As soon as I opened the website, an advertisement pop-up window popped up.

"Tan Tianwang appeared in the creation competition and sang "Love and Not Love" affectionately."

Liu Hui saw the title of the advertisement at a glance.

Click to enter, and a short video of Tan Xianglong singing "Love and Not Love" appeared in front of Liu Hui.

That's right, they advertised it.

Liu Hui opened several well-known websites, and on each website, there was an advertisement pop-up window of "Love or Not Love".

Shengshi Entertainment is really rich and powerful.

The pop-up advertisements on this well-known website cost close to 100 million Tang Xia coins a day.

Multiple websites advertise and promote at the same time, and the cost of this advertisement is estimated to exceed 1000 million.

Liu Hui was very envious.

"Shall I do an ad for "Singles" too?"

"Forget it, the company is almost out of control."

Liu Hui shook his head helplessly.

This is only the first day. With the quality of "Single Love Song", as long as there is no shady scene and no black box operation, he believes that it will surpass No.1 in a few days.

At this moment, there is another person who pays more attention to the number of downloads of "Single Love Song" than Liu Hui.

Star Entertainment, trainee apartment.

"Brother Yu, I really can't stand it anymore, why don't I go to bed first?"

Wang Jie said to Ling Zhiyu with two dark circles under his eyes.

"Ajie, last night you patted your chest and promised me that as long as I don't sleep, you will stay with me."

"Brother Yu, please forgive me, I didn't know you could stay up all night."

"Hold on, hold on a little longer."

"The number of downloads will soon exceed No.2's Xiao Lian."

"Go to bed after it's over, okay?"

Ling Zhiyu stared at the leaderboard on his phone, and refused to leave even talking.

Since midnight, when the music network opened for downloading, his eyes haven't taken his eyes off the phone.

In ten hours, he witnessed "Single Love Song" go from No.10 to No.3 all the way.

This is the first song of Ling Zhiyu's debut, and he cares more about the performance of this song than anyone else.

"Great, surpassing Xiao Lian, now No.2."

Ling Zhiyu waved his fist and said loudly.

Hearing Ling Zhiyu's words, Wang Jie picked up his mobile phone and looked at it.

The number of downloads has indeed risen to No.2, but there is still nearly double the gap with No.1.

"Brother Yu, do you think it is possible for us to surpass Gao Fei?"

Hearing Wang Jie's question, Ling Zhiyu frowned.

"It's hard to say."

"If you only look at the quality of the songs, our songs are definitely better than theirs."

"But they invited Tan Tianwang as an assistant singing guest, and he has too many fans and supporters."

"Combined with Shengshi Entertainment, they played a lot of advertisements for this song to promote it."

"I feel like it's going to be very difficult for us to get past him."

"It would be great if the company could also do some advertising for "Single Love Song"."

After finishing speaking, Ling Zhiyu sighed.

"Brother Yu, don't think about advertising and promotion, you need to invest a lot of money."

"The company's finances have had some problems recently, and last month's salary has not been paid yet."

"Today on chatting (an app similar to WeChat), because of wage arrears, the company's artists are about to be fried in the chat group."

"Many artists come to the company to ask for free termination of the contract. If they don't agree, they will go through the legal process of labor arbitration."

Keeping an eye on the leaderboard, Ling Zhiyu didn't know what happened in the company this morning.

He was a little surprised when he heard Wang Jie's words.

"Ajie, how did things develop?"

It's a big deal for the artists in the company to collectively terminate their contracts.

"The matter has come to fruition, the company issued an announcement in the group."

"All artists who have signed a contract with the company to debut can go to the legal department to cancel the contract for free within three days."

Hearing Wang Jie's words, Ling Zhiyu couldn't believe it. How could the company make such a decision?

"Ajie, you don't think so, do you..."

Ling Zhiyu put down the mobile phone in his hand and asked his best friend Wang Jie.

"Brother Yu, what are you thinking?"

"I just signed the rookie debut contract yesterday, and now I am asked to terminate the contract, I can't afford to lose face."

"Besides, there are still a few rounds in the songwriting competition."

"In case Mr. Liu writes a song suitable for me to sing, he chooses me."

"At that time, you will accompany me to watch the leaderboard."

Wang Jie said to Ling Zhiyu with a smile.

Many years later, in a TV interview program, Wang Jie recounted today's experience.

"Brother Yu and I didn't choose to leave the company when it was the most difficult time. For this reason, the company has also made us what we are today..."
