It can only be said that no one is perfect, and lucky people like Wang Xuan are in the minority after all.
Anyway, it would be absolutely suitable to ask Huang Zhan to be a mentor for "The Voice". He is a big enough person and has both strength and status. So Wang Xuan made his second call to Huang Zhan.
The call was quickly connected.
"Teacher Wang Xuan, are you so anxious? Do you plan to be a lobbyist yourself?" Huang Zhan said with a smile, thinking that Wang Xuan was going to tell him about inviting him to join Tianhai. After all, Gu Jiahui had mentioned this to him. , and his answer to Gu Jiahui was that it would take some time to think about it.
Wang Xuan was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and realized what Huang Zhan was talking about. After all, Gu Jiahui also mentioned this to him. Gu Jiahui said that Huang Zhan had been invited to join, and Huang Zhan said that he would consider it, but as long as there is no clear rejection, it means there is great hope.
Gu Jiahui also hinted that Wang Xuan might give Huang Zhan a call to add some weight.
In the entire circle, there were not many people who could influence Huang Zhan's decision. Gu Jiahui was one, and Wang Xuan was definitely the other.
"Then I must be anxious. I'm still waiting for Teacher Huang Zhan to come and save my life. Currently, the top songwriter in Tianhai is Lao Gu. He is working very hard now. He has to write songs, arrange songs, and provide music to singers. Recording songs and albums, can you bear to see Lao Gu working so hard?" Wang Xuan said with a smile.
"Isn't there still you?"
"I can't count. I'm in Tianhai, so of course I'll help, but you know, I'm out here all day long, filming movies and TV shows. Over the course of a year, I only stay in Tianhai for a few months. I have the heavy responsibility of producing songs for singers. Doesn’t it fall on Lao Gu alone?”
"Well, I think he enjoys it too. He keeps showing off to me." Huang Zhan said.
"Then you have to come even more and don't give him a chance to show off."
"I have a question. With Tianhai's current momentum, there should be quite a few top songwriters who want to join Tianhai, right? Why is it that only Lao Gu is still there?"
"There must be many top songwriters who want to join Tianhai, but not many are free. This is one of them. Secondly, some top songwriters contact Tianhai and ask for 8% or even 10% of the shares. Mr. Huang Zhan, If it were me, would you agree?"
"That's definitely not the case. Given Tianhai's current situation, it will be a matter of course for Tianhai to become the fourth giant in the industry. These people are asking for 8% or 10% of the shares. Isn't that a big deal? Even the old man is asking for 8% or 10% of the shares. Gudu only has 5% of the shares, so what do these people do?”
"Yeah, I've always believed that how much power you have, how much food you can hold. If it were you and Lao Gu, I would give you 8% or 10% of the shares even if I squint my eyes. Even if I can't give you that many shares, I would still give you 8% or 10% of the shares. The year-end bonus will compensate you and others, I think the first thing they need is to recognize themselves, especially what kind of existence Tianhai will be in the future."
"Okay, you don't need to give me a high hat. Is it okay for me to join Tianhai? As for the conditions, just follow what Lao Gu said. Anyway, I am not short of money. At my age, money is not the most important thing, work is Being happy is the most important thing.”
"That's great." Wang Xuan was overjoyed and agreed with Huang Zhan's words from the bottom of his heart.
He was in Tianyu before, and he originally thought about retiring in Tianyu. With Wang Xuan's strength and trump card, the financial loss of living in Tianyu will be absolutely immeasurable. But working at Tianyu was very relaxing and free at the beginning, and he felt he had the right to speak and was respected, so Wang Xuan didn't think about it too much.
If Tianyu's boss hadn't gone crazy for his own death later, it is estimated that Wang Xuan would still be holding 8% of the shares and retiring in Tianyu now.
So, the working environment is really important. The first thing ordinary people pursue is wealth, but after financial freedom, they pursue a higher level.
"Okay. I'll tidy up here and report to Tianhai in about a week. Boss, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up first." Huang Zhan said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, Teacher Huang Zhan, I still have something to say."
"What's the matter?"
"It's like this. Teacher Huang Zhan already knows that I have planned a program recently, right?"
""The Voice of China"?"
"Yes! I would like to invite Mr. Huang Zhan to join "The Voice" and be one of the four star mentors."
"...This is why you called me, right? I dug my own emotional hole and jumped out of it." Huang Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Haha!" Wang Xuan was delighted. It was indeed an unexpected surprise that Huang Zhan was persuaded by him to join Tianhai. Although Gu Jiahui said that the probability of Huang Zhan joining Tianhai is very high, as long as the dust has not settled, who can guarantee that it will be foolproof?
It's okay now, Huang Zhan personally agreed to join Tianhai.
"Can I refuse?" Huang Zhan said.
"No. How can an employee refuse when the boss says something?"
"But I haven't joined Tianhai yet."
"You have verbally agreed to join Tianhai. Legally, the verbal agreement is also an agreement and it comes into effect!"
"Okay! What a sinner, you accidentally sold yourself."
"I believe you won't regret it. By the way, the recording of the program will start in a few days. Teacher Huang Zhan, if you have time these days, please go directly to Yangcheng Satellite TV. Some program details need to be communicated with you. I also People will be asked to prepare the contract and the franchise fee. Let me think about it. The franchise fee is 15 million. What do you think?"
"15 million? It's really an exciting price."
"Are you excited now? I know that "The Sound of Nature" wanted to invite you to be a mentor before, and the price offered was 18 million, but you refused without even thinking about it."
"That's different. There are too many shady stories in "The Sound of Heaven". I am serious about music, and I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. Let alone 18 million, I will refuse even 20 million or 30 million. If "The Sound of Heaven" is "It's true. Even if you offer me 10 million, I will probably join. I have participated in several such programs in Xiangjiang before, and the franchise fee is about 10 million." Huang Zhan said.
"The problem was that you were still young at that time, and your strength and status in the industry were far from what they are now."
"That's true."
"So, you are Tianhai's face now, and I will definitely help you build up your worth. If anyone wants to invite you to this kind of show in the future, the franchise fee will be at least 15 million." Wang Xuan said.
In fact, Huang Zhan has not participated in this type of program for many years. But after appearing on "The Voice", Huang Zhan will definitely receive invitations in this area. This is the reason why Wang Xuan established his worth for Huang Zhan. He is not sure whether Huang Zhan will participate in this kind of program again in the future, but it is always good to prepare for a rainy day.
The most important thing is that Huang Zhan is worth the price.
In fact, given Huang Zhan's strength and status, this value is still a bit of a disadvantage. This is the disadvantage of top songwriters who usually only retreat to the background.
Let's put it this way, Wang Xuan knew that before, Gu Jiahui and Liang Xiaoru participated in "The King of Masked Singer" together and served as judges and mentors in "The King of Masked Singer". Based on Gu Jiahui's status in the circle, except for Wang Banbi, Li Yiqun and Liang Xiaoru must respectfully call Teacher Gu in front of Gu Jiahui, and use "you" when talking to Gu Jiahui. honorific title.
But specifically about the franchise fee, do you know what it is?
The franchise fee for Gu Jiahui to participate in "The King of Masked Singer" is 12 million, while the franchise fee for Liang Xiaoru and Li Yiqun is a full 20 million!
This is the difference between being on stage and behind the scenes.
Gu Jiahui has a high status in the circle, but Liang Xiaoru and Li Yiqun are more dazzling on the stage and more popular.
"Then I have to thank the boss for the care he gives to his employees." Huang Zhan said with a smile, without being pretentious. Suddenly I remembered something, "By the way, I'm the one who said something ugly before. I can be a mentor, but I refuse to do shady things. I will say it on the show. If there is shady things, don't invite me. Again, treat music I am serious and there is no room for sand in my eyes.”
"Teacher Huang Zhan, you can rest assured that the program I plan will not allow the existence of shady scenes. If anyone dares to cause harm behind the scenes, I will never forgive him lightly." Wang Xuan said.
"That's fine."
.......
After successfully dealing with Huang Zhan, Wang Xuan took a sip of water and then contacted the next instructor, Xu Guanrong.
This one is awesome.
Xu Guanrong, born in Hong Kong, is a singer and actor. He graduated from Hong Kong Chongwen English College. He participated in the first Hong Kong District 18 Amateur Singing Competition and won the championship with his absolute strength. As a result, he was spotted by a record company and made his debut smoothly.
In the second year after signing with the record company, Xu Guanrong released his first album "thedream". The results were very good and he successfully won the Best Newcomer Award at the Hong Kong Golden Melody Awards that year. The album "Beloved" released in 1993 broke the sales record of Chinese records in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
In the mid-1990s, Xu Guanrong was at the peak of his career. Not only did he win the World Music Award for the world's highest-selling Chinese singer for two consecutive years, his annual record sales ranked second in the world, ranking second only to the legendary singer Jackel who was at the height of his power. Nana in third place. Because his record sales were so high, he was directly entered into the 1990s Superstars Hall of Fame selected by Universal Entertainment Eagle Country in 2000.
In 1997, he participated in the planning of the musical "Snow Wolf Lake" which was performed in Hong Kong for 42 consecutive performances. In 1998, he won the Best Mandarin Male Singer Award at the 9th Taiwan Golden Melody Awards. He is also the winner of the 23rd Xiangjiang Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Golden Needle Award.
As of now, Xu Guanrong's cumulative record sales exceed 80 million, the most among Chinese. Xu Guanrong is good at interpreting a variety of music styles, boldly experimenting with R&B music styles and jazz, and even interpreting music with opera singing methods. He is deeply recognized by music fans and is dubbed the "god of song" by music fans.
Xu Guanrong's achievements in the music industry are definitely at the pinnacle. He is currently the only superstar in Hong Kong who has entered the ranks of super first-line superstars as a singer.
Thinking of Xu Guanrong, Wang Xuan thought of Jacky Cheung.
Undoubtedly, Xu Guanrong's template is Jacky Cheung.
No matter his status or strength, Xu Guanrong is more than enough to be a mentor in "The Voice", and he will not be inferior in front of teachers Zhang Lan and Huang Zhan.
In recent years, Xu Guanrong has also moved to the mainland and seems to have begun to try filming. Wang Xuan estimated that Xu Guanrong also wanted to take the amphibious route. It is too difficult to reach the top of the international superstar list just by singing, and Xu Guanrong is no longer young. If he does not transform and find another shortcut, he may not have any hope of reaching the top in this life.
But these have nothing to do with Wang Xuan. Wang Xuan himself has no friendship with Xu Guanrong, or even knows him, but Gu Jiahui and Xu Guanrong have collaborated before. Xu Guanrong's contact information was given to Wang Xuan by Gu Jiahui.
When I dialed the phone, Xu Guanrong didn't answer the first call.
Wang Xuan dialed again. The phone rang a few times before he was connected. A very calm voice came from the other side: "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, I am Wang Xuan."
"Wang Xuan...are you Teacher Wang Xuan from Tianhai?" The other person seemed to think about it for a moment before realizing who Wang Xuan was. Then his tone obviously changed and he immediately became excited and enthusiastic.
"Yes. Are you teacher Xu Guanrong?" In fact, Wang Xuan heard that the other party was not Xu Guanrong, but he still confirmed it. How should I put it? With Xu Guanrong's level of strength and status, he would be enthusiastic but certainly not excited when he received a call from Wang Xuan.
Probably Xu Guanrong's agent or something.
Sure enough, the other party said: "No. Brother Rong is filming, and I am his agent Fu Ming. I will represent Brother Rong in the whole process. If Teacher Wang Xuan has anything to do with Brother Rong, you can also tell me that I can do it." Those who are in charge will make the decision, and those who cannot make the decision will be conveyed to Brother Rong. If Teacher Wang Xuan is inconvenient to tell me, I can also ask Brother Rong to call you back after Brother Rong finishes filming."
"It's nothing inconvenient. You should know that I recently planned a singing competition, right? I would like to invite Teacher Guanrong to come over and be a mentor." Wang Xuan said.
"This...I really can't make the decision on this. How should I put it, Brother Rong rarely participates in this kind of program. In this way, Brother Rong's scene will be finished quickly. I will ask him to call you back later." . It won’t take too long, about 20 minutes at most.” Fu Ming said.
"Okay, thanks in advance."
"What the hell."
...
Xu Guanrong's call came back quickly: "Hello, my name is Xu Guanrong. Is this Teacher Wang Xuan?"
"Yes. Teacher Guanrong, I am Wang Xuan."
"Teacher Wang Xuan, what do you want from me? My agent has already roughly told me. I have a few questions that I would like Teacher Wang Xuan to answer for me."
"Please say."
"First, why did you find me?"
"Looking at what Teacher Guanrong is asking, "The Voice" is a stage that only focuses on singing voice and singing skills. In these two aspects, you are the authority. Who would be looking for me if not you?" Wang Xuan said with a smile.
If these words were said by other people, Xu Guanrong would definitely think that the other person was flattering him, but when said by Wang Xuan, Xu Guanrong felt very comfortable hearing them. After all, that was Wang Xuan, with his status and status, there was no need to flatter him.
"As far as I know, this program you planned will have four mentors. Who are the other three mentors?" Xu Guanrong asked again.
"Teachers Zhang Lan and Teacher Huang Zhan have been invited so far. You are the third one. I will invite another one later."
"Ah? We even invited Teacher Zhang Lan and Teacher Huang Zhan to come out. Teacher Wang Xuan, you are so proud." Xu Guanrong said, but he knew how difficult it was to invite these two people.
"Not really, I just happen to have some friendship with them." Wang Xuan said.
Xu Guanrong shook his head. To put it simply, could Zhang Lan and Huang Zhan be moved by someone with just a little bit of friendship? The entertainment industry is so big, but no one has a relationship with anyone who has a good reputation. I have never seen Zhang Lan and Huang Zhan participate in this kind of program.
"Teacher Guanrong, do you have any other questions?"
"Gone."
"Did Teacher Guanrong agree to join "The Voice"?"
"Why not? Teacher Wang Xuan invited Teacher Huang Zhan and Teacher Zhang Lan to come out. It must be a big deal. Participating in such a program has obvious benefits for me, so why not?" Xu Guanrong said.
The main mentor can match his status.
What he was most worried about before was that the other mentors were not good enough and their fame, strength and status were too far behind his, but now, this problem no longer exists.
"Teacher Guanrong will never regret today's decision." Wang Xuan said, and the next step is to discuss the franchise fee.
When Liang Xiaoru and others participated in "The King of Masked Singer", the franchise fee was 20 million. Xu Guanrong was one level higher than Liang Xiaoru and others. Wang Xuan's franchise fee for Xu Guanrong was 25 million.
Xu Guanrong has no objection to this.
The two parties agreed on a time before hanging up the phone.
........
After that, Wang Xuan invited the last mentor.
In terms of strength, this person may not be the most powerful among the several instructors, but in terms of popularity, he is indeed the highest.
Qiao Ziwei!
