If Wang Xuan’s first achievement was to join Tianyu and earn hundreds of millions by borrowing chickens and laying eggs, and completing the accumulation of original funds, then meeting Zhu Xu and Li Tao in Tianyu and successfully inviting them to join Tianhai can be considered as Wang Xuan’s first achievement.
Wang Xuan’s second harvest.
And the second harvest is Wang Xuan's biggest gain.
After all, for Wang Xuan, it is very easy for him to make money as long as he becomes famous, but talents are rare, especially high-end talents like Li Tao and Zhu Xu. They are so rare that it is difficult to find one even if you are a lantern.
Anyway, after Zhu Xu and Li Tao joined Tianhai, Wang Xuan must be much more relaxed.
After making an appointment to meet the next day, Wang Xuan said goodbye to the two of them and left.
When sleeping at night, Zhu Xu talked with his wife Alian about his upcoming joining Tianhai. After hearing this, Alian was surprised.
"No, Brother Xu, isn't this treatment much worse than if you stayed in Tianyu? Why did you still agree to join Tianhai? You also took the initiative to reduce your shareholding." Alian was a little confused.
"That's not the case. In the short term, Tianhai's treatment is indeed worse than staying in Tianyu, but in the long term, Tianhai's treatment is definitely much better than staying in Tianyu." Zhu Xu said.
"How do you say that? In Tianyu, you have an annual salary of 20 million plus 10% of shares. But in Tianhai, you only have an annual salary of 10 million + 6% of shares. How come Tianyu's treatment is worse than that of Tianhai? Much worse?"
"Let's put it this way, do you think 6% of the shares of a giant company are worth more or 10% of the shares of a first-class company?"
"That must be the value of 6% of the shares of a giant company."
"So, Tianhai has endless potential and definitely has the potential to become a giant company in the future, but Tianyu has exhausted its potential."
"No, isn't Tianyu about to go public? Why has its potential been exhausted?"
"Going public will only make Tianyu die faster. Lu Tianyu is too impatient. Tianyu has no foundation for going public at all. In fact, it is precisely because of Lu Tianyu's impatient character that prompted me to choose to leave Tianyu. There is such a boss who is eager for quick success and quick profit.
, Tianyu’s future will not be bright.”
"What about Tianhai? Today's Tianhai is not even as good as a second-rate company, right? How do you know that it has the potential to become a giant company?"
"But there is Wang Xuan in Tianhai!"
"Just because of Wang Xuan?"
"Otherwise? Isn't it enough to have Wang Xuan? But I don't blame you. If you don't belong to this circle, you may not know how rebellious Wang Xuan is."
"Nonsense, do I know Wang Xuan well? I am still a die-hard fan of Wang Xuan. I am one of the millions of followers on Wang Xuan's Weibo. I have also downloaded all Wang Xuan's works and often tell my colleagues
Recommended. I just don’t think Tianhai can become a giant just by relying on Wang Xuan alone, right?"
"We definitely can't rely on Wang Xuan alone. The problem is that Wang Xuan is like a magnet. As long as Wang Xuan is here, many powerful people will join Tianhai in the future and are willing to join Tianhai."
"Okay, I understand that. High-end talents gather together and attract each other."
"Yes. If I were to go it alone and want to invite high-end talents, it would be very difficult. But if Wang Xuan invites him, he will be successful in nine out of ten cases. Let's not talk about other things, let's talk about top songwriters. Which top songwriter can bear to be able to work with him occasionally?
Are you tempted by Wang Xuan's exchange of experiences, but reject Wang Xuan? Coupled with the joining of Li Tao and I, Tianhai will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Early the next morning, Zhu Xu and Li Tao came to Tianhai together, while Wang Xuan and Weng Qiuping were waiting at the gate of Tianhai. When the two sides met, they naturally exchanged greetings and compliments.
Then several people moved to Wang Xuan's office. Wang Xuan asked Weng Yong to bring him the contract that had been prepared. After signing the contract, Wang Xuan asked Weng Yong to notify everyone in Tianhai to gather in the lobby and solemnly introduce Zhu Xu and Li Tao.
To Tianhai employees.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me introduce two senior managers. This is Zhu Xu, who will be the director of our Tianhai Entertainment from now on, and will be in charge of all the affairs of our Tianhai. This is Li Tao, who will be the director of our Tianhai Entertainment Artist Department from now on.
Minister, all matters related to artists are under his control.
Mr. Weng has other arrangements and will no longer hold the position of director of Tianhai.
Director Zhu and Minister Li worked in Tianyu before. Director Zhu and Minister Li are indispensable for Tianyu’s success today. Therefore, we have reason to believe that under the leadership of Director Zhu and Minister Li, Tianhai’s tomorrow will be even more brilliant.
Let us welcome Director Zhu and Minister Li with warm applause." Wang Xuan announced in public.
The words fell and the applause was like thunder.
"It's amazing. These two people will actually join the current Tianhai. Mr. Wang is so proud." Many people said.
Again, there are only a few first-class entertainment companies in the industry, and Zhu Xu and Li Tao were previously directors of Tianyu Entertainment and heads of the music department, so they are quite famous in the industry.
At least many people at the scene knew Zhu Xu and Li Tao and knew that they were very capable people.
"Director Zhu, what can you say to them?" Wang Xuan said, looking at Zhu Xu.
"Okay, then I will just say a few words." Zhu Xu took over the topic, "First of all, I am new to Tianhai and I don't know enough about Tianhai. If there is anything I can't do well, please forgive me.
While being tolerant, I actually hope that everyone can help me point out what I didn't do well and where I didn't do it right.
I am a very simple person. I talk about things and discuss them as they are. My biggest advantage is that I can listen to opinions, accept criticism, and dare to admit my mistakes. So you don’t have to worry that after you give me your opinions, I will give you some advice.
wear.
Secondly, it is because I don’t know enough about Tianhai, so I really need everyone’s support. I am personally very optimistic about Tianhai’s future, which is why I joined Tianhai. I hope that everyone can work together to develop Tianhai.
Finally, the heads of each department brought the department's recent work plan and came to my office at three o'clock in the afternoon. Let's get to know each other and hold a work handover meeting. I've finished my words, thank you all."
As soon as the words fell, applause broke out.
"It's really resolute." Many people said.
"Minister Li, do you want to say a few words to everyone?" Wang Xuan asked Li Tao.
"No, there's nothing to say. Anyway, if there is anything that the artist department needs everyone to cooperate with, I hope that everyone can fully cooperate. Similarly, if you have anything that needs the artist department's cooperation, you can tell me directly, and the artist department will definitely do the same.
We will fully cooperate with everyone's work.
In many entertainment companies, the artist department will be superior to others, but that is not the case here. In my eyes, all departments are equal, and their purpose is to develop Tianhai together. Each one is indispensable, so naturally there is no saying that the artist department is superior to others."
Li Tao said.
Otherwise, how can we say that Li Tao's ability to deal with people is very outstanding.
In fact, in any entertainment company, the status of the artist department must be transcendent. No matter what Li Tao says, admit it or not, the status of the artist department is transcendent, because artists are the foundation of the entertainment company, and other departments are responsible for
Artists serve.
This is a truth that everyone understands. But Li Tao’s words made people sound comfortable, and they immediately shortened the distance between him and many people.
After the introductory meeting, everyone dispersed.
Zhu Xu and Weng Qiuping began to hand over work, and Li Tao also returned to the artist department and officially entered work. On the contrary, Wang Xuan suddenly became idle after Zhu Xu and Li Tao joined Tianhai.
"What should we do? Let's continue with the script." Wang Xuan thought to himself. Wang Xuan decided to finish the script of "Shaolin Temple" first. He didn't know when the filming would start.
The main issue is the actors. "Shaolin Temple" is a martial arts film, so it's best to choose someone who knows boxing and kicking as the lead.
The same is true for "Dragon". These days, Wang Xuan has actually finished the TV series script of "Dragon", but this TV series has even greater demands on actors.
Wang Xuan is a man who strives for excellence. Without a suitable leading actor, the filming of these two movies and TV series will definitely not start.
However, the issue of actors is actually easy to deal with. If you can't find a suitable candidate, you can just open the casting at that time. China has such a large population, you can always find suitable actors.
The most difficult thing is actually the theme song "The Hard to Recite Sutra" of the TV series "Dragon". This song is too demanding, even Wang Xuan himself can't sing it. These days Wang Xuan also read a lot of singer information, but it is suitable
The singer who sang "The Hard to Recite Sutra" was not found either.
But it’s quite normal. In another time and space, is it different that only Zhou Huajian can sing this song? Even when Zhou Huajian got older, he couldn’t sing this song with the momentum.
In the next few days, Wang Xuan kept writing the script. During this period, Zhu Xu came to see him several times, and they were all dealing with scattered matters. Wang Xuan waved his hand and let him make the decision on his own.
This is what Wang Xuan said to Zhu Xu: "Brother Xu, you don't have to come to me for this kind of thing. You can be fully responsible for everything in Tianhai from now on. Ask me again when you can't make up your mind. Anyway, just treat me as a throwaway."
Just be the shopkeeper."
Zhu Xu also couldn't laugh or cry about this.
The days passed like this.
On the new song list, "Tear the Night" has been very strong since it reached the top. On the 15th, it has already received 47 million downloads, which can be said to be shocking to countless people. If this continues, by the end of the month, this song will be the most popular.
At least it can get 75 million downloads.
"Remember" is not bad either. After "Remember" counterattacked to the second place, its performance was not only worse than "Tear the Night", but it was much better than other songs. It also received 44 million downloads on the 15th.
The results of the subsequent songs were not satisfactory. Even "Firework", which ranked third, only received 38 million downloads, and the gap was widened by "Remember".
"Tear the Night" has reached the top spot, and "Remember" has finished second, which is a foregone conclusion.
Du Chengfei and Zhang Yaxin have received great benefits. Du Chengfei's current Weibo followers are 4 million, and Zhang Yaxin's Weibo followers are 3.2 million. It will definitely not be a problem for both hands to exceed 5 million followers by the end of the month.
One song creates a third-tier singer, this is "Tear the Night". In another time and space, Adu started to stand out with "Tear the Night" and became popular all over the country.
Amei's "Remember" is also a classic, and it's easy to become a third-tier singer.
Anyway, Du Chengfei and Zhang Yaxin became popular.
In order to make the two of them even more popular, Li Tao knocked on the door of Wang Xuan's office early on the 16th.
"Brother Xuan, Du Chengfei and Zhang Yaxin are very popular now. Let's strike while the iron is hot and release a new album for them. What do you think?" Li Tao said. In public, he would call Wang Xuan Mr. Wang, but in private, he was still used to it.
Call me Wang Xuan, Brother Xuan, which is kind.
"Yes, I will help them compose some songs in the near future and then record them. However, it is best to release the album in May, the Golden Week of May, which attracts more attention. However, in March and April, you can choose two title songs from the album.
Release, shoot the MV and so on, it is considered as pre-album promotion." Wang Xuan said.
"That's what I mean. At that time, the publicity department will project the title song and MV to radio, television, magazines, newspapers, online media and other places for promotion, and then arrange some more announcements for Du Chengfei and Zhang Yaxin, such as TV programs, commercial performances, etc.
Fan meetings and the like are used to increase the popularity of the album and strive to become an instant hit, pushing them into the second-tier singers in one fell swoop." Li Tao said.
