Entertainment: Dominate domestic entertainment through host competition

After being a good teacher and having a big meal together, Zhang Lin and Jay Chou started the rehearsal.

With two generations of musical talents on the same stage, the program team will definitely not ignore them.

Originally, they wanted the two of them to sing a new song, but that stunt would be explosive.

But how could the two of them agree? They were both indifferent.

Reluctantly, the program team finally chose Jay Chou's classic old song - "Listen to Mom".

In order to maximize profits, the program team racked their brains in all aspects of stage, backup dancers, choreography, and costumes, striving to create a god-level scene.

During the rehearsal, Zhang Lin had a meeting with the top management of Canxing Media.

During the process, this person mentioned Fanxing Media and was speechless about the company that used them as a shield. She said that she had explained to at least twelve people this year that Fanxing Media was not a subsidiary of Canxing Media.

This company has allowed them to shoulder too much blame.

Zhang Lin:￣□￣｜｜

But she also admits that the company's ideas are powerful.

Through her "gossip", Zhang Lin discovered that there really are no secrets in the industry. Even the two programs "Classic Ode" and "Hello Life" are still under negotiation, Canxing Media has learned about them seven times. Seven or eight.

Sweating secretly, Zhang Lin changed the topic and asked how much money Good Voice made for Canxing Media.

There is actually nothing that cannot be asked.

As long as you are willing, you can get a general idea by searching online.

Canxing's top management did not hide it, saying frankly that Canxing earned 38 billion in five years with "The Voice".

"Three...eight billion!"

Zhang Lin couldn't help but be speechless.

Although he is now among the ranks of capitalists, his actual net worth has not yet exceeded 200 million, and the money he has handled is only tens of millions at most.

To him, 3.8 billion is an astronomical figure!

Seeing that they had succeeded in frightening the patriotic and upright boy, Canxing's senior management said: "Zhang Lin, I heard that you and Mr. Li, the boss of Fanxing Media, are having a baby?"

"Yes, we have a good relationship."

"Then I have a business here. I wonder if you can send a message to Zhang Lin?"

"what business?"

"It's like this. We at Canxing are planning to launch a prospectus and seek listing on the A-share GEM. However, due to the long review cycle of A-shares, we plan to be the first to land on the Hong Kong stock market and win the title of "the first variety show stock"..."

Next, through the narration of Canxing's senior management, Zhang Lin understood what the business was.

Emotional Canxing no longer wants to take the blame, and wants to directly recruit Fanxing Media to become a strategic partner.

According to their company's prospectus, Canxing Culture plans to raise 15 billion yuan, all of which will be used to "supplement variety show production working capital projects."

Currently, they have replaced Daqian Pictures and are producing the popular "Produce Camp 2020".

One or two companies will definitely not be able to come up with this money.

All that can be taken out are venture capital, and various restrictions will be placed on them.

For peers like Fanxing Media, which are deeply tied to CCTV, it is much easier to work together and speak more conveniently.

Moreover, Fanxing Media has made a lot of money from "Young Summer" and has not invested heavily in it yet. This is also public knowledge in the industry.

You don’t know, I smashed most of them into the little broken balls!

Listening to the eloquent narration of Canxing's senior management, Zhang Lin, who muttered, kept nodding his head, and made a decision easily in his heart.

There is no doubt that Canxing Media focuses on variety show content production and industrial chain development and operation. It is one of the few professional production companies in China capable of operating large-scale variety shows.

In 2012, he became famous with "The Voice of China", and later produced the "Masked Singer Guess" series, "China's Got Talent" and other programs.

It can be said that Canxing Media is the Huayi Media in the field of variety shows.

However, the business of variety shows is getting harder and harder to do. After the "The Voice" series, Canxing Culture has no more hits, and the ratings and advertising revenue of TV stations broadcasting variety shows have also declined.

With "This!" "It's Street Dance" entered the Internet variety show, but it did not reap the profits that could compete with it to increase traffic.

After the decline of the "Good Voice" IP, Canxing Culture's profits also declined.

Otherwise, a company that has earned 38 billion in five years would not be able to go public and raise funds.

In addition, the main culprit that caused the capital chain of Canxing to be strained was Talpa, the Dutch company that produced the original show.

After the copyright for the first four seasons expired, Talpa resold the rights for the second four seasons to Tangde Film and Television.

As a result, Tangde Film and Television, Canxing Culture and a third party launched a two-year battle, but the result was a lose-lose situation for both parties.

Canxing Culture, which lost the right to use "The Voice", renamed the program "New Singing".

The popularity of "New Song" is also obvious to all.

Starting this year, Canxing Culture's revenue has experienced a "cliff-like" decline. Even if it was changed back to "The Voice" in 2018, the decline of this IP has not stopped there.

But even with a steep decline in revenue, "The Voice" is still one of Canxing Culture's projects with the highest gross profit margin so far.

Canxing Culture's dependence on "The Voice" is too obvious. Affected by the decline of "The Voice" IP, Canxing Culture's revenue and net profit both declined.

Canxing's senior management also discovered hidden worries.

Therefore, last year in 2016, it spent 20.8 billion to acquire 100% equity of Mengxiang Qiangyin from Modu Zhouxing and Modu Minxing, and also developed a "music production licensing and other derivative" business for itself.

At this point, the industrial chain of Canxing Culture has extended to album sales, concert production, endorsements and other activities in the later stages of the talent show.

This model is somewhat similar to Tianyu, which in the early days started its business by signing talent show singers.

Unfortunately, Mengxiang Qiangyin, which was acquired at a huge price, failed to bring greater benefits to Canxing Culture.

If the teacher Li Wen incident that caused a sensation in domestic entertainment in her previous life breaks out again, the company Canxing will not be far away from falling from the altar.

Zhang Lin still remembers that Teacher Li Wen’s voice in the recording of her cry was full of anger and grievance.

For the sake of the program, the students, and the young people who love music, she did not hesitate to pay the price, and was even almost beaten.

However, the development of things has frequently exposed the cruelty and injustice of the program team, which is chilling.

By cooperating with such a garbage company, Zhang Lin was really afraid that all his bones would be eaten away.

But he said with a smile on his face: "I'll talk to Lao Li later. I believe he will be happy to cooperate."

Canxing's senior management was overjoyed and said happily: "Thank you so much, Zhang Lin, thank you, thank you!"

Then he solemnly added: "No matter whether the cooperation is successful or not, Canxing will remember your favor from Zhang Lin and we will definitely repay you generously in the future."

After making a haha, Zhang Lin repeatedly said that it was easy.

He knew that the top management of Canxing said this because of his status as the prince of CCTV.

The benefit of owing this favor is greater than if it were not owed.

Zhang Lin can only say that the end of the universe is Kaogong.

Just like now, except for Naying, each of the four mentors is a highly respected person and a pillar of the Chinese music scene.

But there is also a gap in the level of respect they receive in front of himself, the CCTV host.
