Chapter 463: A Musical Phenomenon Shakes the Scene with Memories of a Deceased Wife!
Chapter 463: A group using their deceased wife's memoirs to shake up the music scene!
Chen Jincheng hadn't expected that this young master Wang had come all this way specifically for this matter.
He knew that in another world, Dawan Cinemas had been sold by Dawan Investment. The reason was simple: Dawan had run into trouble and had already started selling assets in 17.
This is also why the bank seized this young master Wang.
It's likely that some people felt the Wang family was doomed and were deliberately targeting him to embarrass him. Another reason is that Old Wang himself couldn't handle the situation and simply didn't have the spare money to help his son.
If there were a real way, for the sake of the family's reputation, they wouldn't let their son be executed just because of 1.5 million.
Judging from this, it must be the other party's father who entrusted Wang Dashao with this task.
It was only much later that Dawan Cinemas sold out of the other world, raising a total of about 182 billion yuan by 2023.
Is the other party now trying to sell Dawan Cinemas so quickly?
He pretended not to know and asked curiously, "Young Master Wang, Dawan Films is a valuable asset. Why is Dawan planning to sell it?"
Young Master Wang hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then said, "Mr. Chen, to be honest, Dawan has run into some trouble and needs a large sum of money for emergency relief. And last time, you really made Dawan Film lose face. When I went back and told my father, he thought that those people at Dawan Film were all good-for-nothings. That's probably why."
"However, it's not a complete sale. About 51% of the shares will be transferred, along with the management rights. The other side will retain 49%, as they still have high hopes for Mr. Chen's abilities in film and television."
Chen Jincheng now understood that he had also played a part in this.
Dawan's move was rather interesting.
Selling only 51% and keeping 49% shows that they really have high hopes for him and believe he can make Dawan Cinemas a success. This way, the 49% stake should appreciate in value, and if they sell it later, they can gain even greater profits.
However, obtaining the operating rights and the 51% stake are not important.
Instead, he now has to consider whether or not to buy the 51% stake in Dawan Cinemas.
He thought of the Shanghai film company that bought the Dawan Cinema in his previous life. Back then, the deal wasn't hyped up, so everyone thought Tencent was the most powerful film company in China, but that wasn't the case.
This is the one in Shanghai.
Now, his Second Generation Star Company has expanded into MCN influencer entertainment, film and television, as well as peripheral clothing products and even games. Its model is actually quite similar to that of Tencent Video, which is to build a pan-entertainment industry chain.
His company's current presence in the pan-entertainment industry chain is limited to a few sectors such as music and novels.
Of course, this is just a peripheral industry. The main problem is that they don't have the core traffic of Tencent. So, compared to Tencent, they are just small fry.
The reason why Douyin can become an internet giant that rivals Tencent in the future, and has laid the groundwork in the pan-entertainment industry chain just like Tencent, is because it has core traffic.
At that time, Douyin's traffic was roughly on par with that of Tencent.
Naturally, if he succeeds in swallowing the dragon, he can integrate the assets of Kuaishou and Ershixingchen industries, and by producing short dramas first to seize the initiative, he will have the breadth of the pan-entertainment industry chain and core traffic.
Cinemas are also a downstream industry of the pan-entertainment sector.
Therefore, he nodded decisively and said, "Young Master Wang, I am very interested in the shares of Dawan Cinemas, but the specifics still need to be discussed when both parties meet."
Both parties agree on the acquisition of Dawan Cinemas, and if things proceed quickly, the acquisition should be completed before the release of "The Wandering Earth".
Then we can allocate more screen time to The Wandering Earth.
After all, a 51% stake in Dawan Cinemas would cost around 85 billion yuan at this stage. If the funds raised are used to purchase these shares, the company would need to recoup the investment through movies and film productions to avoid impacting Kuaishou's financing plans.
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll go back and report. Let's schedule a time to sit down and talk." When Wang Dashao saw that he had replied, a look of joy appeared on his face. He didn't talk to Chen Jincheng for long before leaving in a hurry.
Chen Jincheng also directly approached Sun Ji, who immediately instructed upon arrival: "Mr. Sun, please help me contact a film and television industry acquisition team."
Sometimes, acquisitions don't require the acquiring party to be involved in every detail; it's perfectly acceptable to outsource to a professional third-party firm.
Upon hearing this, Sun Ji asked in surprise, "Boss, are you planning to acquire other film and television companies? I wonder which one?"
"We own 51% of Dawan Cinemas and also have the operating rights," Chen Jincheng didn't hide.
Sun Ji was immediately surprised upon hearing this: "Dawan Films?"
He really found it unbelievable.
After all, that's the Dawan Group.
How could they possibly sell such a high-quality asset?
Honestly, when Dawan was exposed in such a way, who could have imagined it?
Therefore, it was quite incredible in Sun Ji's eyes.
But he also knew that the boss would not joke about this, which meant that the boss was really about to get the operating rights of Dawan Cinema.
It's unclear whether the owner will integrate the cinema and the company's assets later. After all, this acquisition is now just another asset for the owner, and it has nothing to do with Ershixingchen.
However, one thing is certain: if the boss acquires Dawan Cinemas, it will be of great benefit to their Second Star Film & Television.
"Boss, I know. I'll contact a professional team right away." Sun Ji nodded in agreement.
Chen Jincheng then instructed, "President Sun, you also need to keep a close eye on this matter for me. After it's done, I'll give you a big bonus."
"Don't worry, boss," Sun Ji replied with a beaming smile.
He didn't care about red envelopes or anything like that; the key was that it was a sign of the boss's trust. At his position, there was no better news than gaining the boss's trust.
Then, time passed day by day.
Young Master Wang made several trips to Linhai City to visit the second-generation star young master, and was even photographed, making everyone curious about when Chen Jincheng and Young Master Wang became so close.
Chen Jincheng also took some time to go to the capital and meet with that old Wang. It was clear that he had lost his former energy and charisma and had begun to show signs of weight loss.
Naturally, Chen Jincheng's appearance in Beijing was also photographed. However, the Wang family immediately bought a trending topic, claiming that it was the eldest son of the Wang family who invited Chen Jincheng to play.
Chen Jincheng understood why; the Wang family didn't want the outside world to know about Dawan's situation, and they wanted to keep it a secret for as long as possible.
So, the negotiations went smoothly, and he was very cooperative. Furthermore, Chen Jincheng and Wang Dashao even invited Chen Chichi and Lin Gou to play PUBG together for a whole night, and then had Chen Chichi stream it so everyone could see it.
Everyone believed that he had gone to Beijing with Young Master Wang.
What no one knew was that both sides had already privately discussed the transfer of shares and operating rights of Dawan Cinemas. When the matter was made public soon, it was bound to be shocking.
After meeting with Lao Wang (this has been reviewed and cannot be detailed), Chen Jincheng returned to Linhai City. He arrived at night and, upon reaching the rented villa, was immediately pleased to see the beautiful women inside.
Naturally, they knew he was coming back, and Ximeng and the other girls were welcoming him back, each wearing a very sexy nightgown.
Seeing that they were all like wolves and tigers, he had no choice but to use up another 1 point of physique in the next two days.
"Boss, is today's outfit sexy? Are you satisfied?" Xi Meng asked with a smile as soon as he came in.
They were undeniably sexy, as Ximeng's secretary was very skilled at this kind of thing. So, to welcome him back, they all dressed up in a very alluring way.
It's either see-through, short, or has very little fabric.
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied." Chen Jincheng walked over with a big smile on his face.
For the next two days, Chen Jincheng basically neglected his duties as a monarch, only going to the company feeling refreshed after consuming another 1 point of physique.
Seriously, if he could exercise like this every day, even though Sister Hong has already bought him a villa, he wouldn't want to move to the new villa until his physical strength points are used up.
As soon as he sat down in his office, Sister Hong came to his office and said, "Boss, you may have to go on a business trip for two days."
"What other business do you have to take on?" Chen Jincheng asked, puzzled.
Sister Hong shook her head and said, "It's not business, but the Chinese music awards ceremony. You forgot that last year you released 'Little Dimples' and 'Can't Help Falling in Love,' which sold like hotcakes. So, the awards ceremony is going to give you the Best Sweet Song Award, the Best Single Sales Award, and the Top Ten Songs Award."
"You also need to bring Xiaobai and Xiaowanzi over, and the two girls will also go on stage to sing this song. Last year, the other party contacted you through Xue Qian, and you already agreed."
Chen Jincheng smiled and said, "Last year, it seemed like they only planned to give one award, right? How come there are three awards this year?"
“One of them went in, apparently for gang violence, and another one also ran into some trouble. In the entertainment industry, it’s common for artists and singers to get into trouble.” Sister Hong explained, “So, they gave you the award.”
"Alright, when do we leave?" Chen Jincheng nodded, understanding what was going on.
"The flight is this afternoon!" Sister Hong reported. "I've already booked tickets for you, Xiaobai, and Xiaowanzi. The two teachers from Phoenix Legend will also be going together. I'll let them know later."
“Okay!” Chen Jincheng nodded. Since he had agreed to it last year, he might as well go. Winning two awards would be a kind of honor and a foundation. Moreover, singing two songs would be easy. After all, “I Have to Love” and “Little Dimples” both have game attributes. Singing with a girl would increase the appeal and make people feel sweet. There would be no problem singing them.
Sister Hong reminded him, "However, there is a small problem. A well-known singer wanted to compete for the awards after they became available, but you won both of them. He seemed very sarcastic and dissatisfied, saying that you only released four songs and that the organizers were just trying to curry favor with you because of your current status and position, so they gave you all three major awards."
"If the organizers or anyone else brings this up, and you don't handle it well, some busybodies might bring it up afterward, since you really don't have many musical works."
Upon hearing this, Chan Kam-Ching couldn't help but laugh: "What else do I need to do? People say I have no work, so I'll just announce that I'm going to release more than 20 songs to shake up the Chinese music scene."
He then remembered that he still had 24 or so songs in his memoir series about his deceased wife. He had given one of the 25 songs to Wang Qiqi, and he had almost forgotten about the remaining 24. Now that he had the chance, he could release them.
When those 20-odd songs came out, everyone in the music industry had to shut up.
When Hongjie heard this, her lips twitched and she said, "Boss, you only released 4 songs last year, and you gave Wang Qiqi another song this year. Are you sure you can release more than 20 songs?"
Chen Jincheng smiled and said pretentiously, "Sister Hong, writing songs isn't something anyone can do just by having hands, is it?"
"Don't say that at the music awards ceremony. If you do, you really have to bring out more than 20 songs!" Sister Hong shook her head and reminded her. Any normal person would know that it's impossible to bring out more than 20 songs all at once.
If the boss really said that, then she would have no choice but to go and collect songs for him.
In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaobai and Xiaowanzi arrived at Chen Jincheng's office. Xiaowanzi was very excited, after all, her dream was to become a singer. Although she only had one original duet song, "Little Dimples," given by her boss, she was half in the credit if the song won an award.
Standing on the highest stage of Chinese music to receive an award is definitely the most exciting thing for her. The only thing is that she will have to sing at the time, and the people who will be there will be the top figures in the music industry.
Jiang Xiaobai had a pair of blurry eyes. Although he was excited, he didn't have the energy to be excited because his boss had made him feel so good last night that he was completely exhausted.
However, the thought of being able to stand on a music awards ceremony and receive an award with her boss made her very happy.
A little while later, the two members of Phoenix Legend arrived. As soon as Linghua came in, she greeted them: "Boss, Xiaobai and Wanzi!"
"Teacher Linghua, Teacher Zengyi!" Jiang Xiaobai and Xiaowanzi greeted them politely.
"Hello," Zengyi replied with a smile.
"Are you two still comfortable with your current top-tier status?" Chen Jincheng asked with a smile, looking at the two of them.
Linghua said directly, "Boss, please don't make fun of us. We're really grateful to you for this."
Zeng Yi also said, "Yes, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't even dare to hold a concert now."
Indeed, the two knew they would never forget their meeting and invitation on the plane; it was the turning of the gears of fate.
"Let's go to the airport." Chen Jincheng also got up, and seeing that it was almost time, he led the group to the airport.
The group followed him out of the Second Star Building and then took a plane to Shanghai. This time, the grand ceremony was held at the Shanghai World Expo Center. The organizers had also booked a nearby 5-star hotel and arranged for the invited guests, top figures in the music industry, celebrities, and seniors.
It was, after all, a grand event in the music industry, and quite a few people attended.
When Chen Jincheng arrived at the hotel, he checked in as arranged by the receptionist. Not long after settling in, he received a call from Xue Qian, inviting him to have a get-together at his hot pot restaurant.
The other party owns a very famous hot pot restaurant in Shanghai.
He did give them face, taking two girls and Phoenix Legend to that hot pot restaurant together.
When he arrived, he found that Xue Qian had invited a lot of people, including Zhou Shen and Jeff Chang whom he had met before, as well as some people he hadn't met before, such as Zhang Liangying, Mao Mao, Guo Ding, Xu Song, Hu Xia, Liu Wei, Liu Xijun, Dai Peini, and others, whose sister said that purple was very charming.
These are clearly Xue Qian's friends in the entertainment circle.
When he came in, everyone turned to look at him.
