Chapter 250 Joyful Executive Meeting
Shen Hailan was naturally happy and spent the whole afternoon in the meeting. Chu Fei, the boss of Yuwen, also participated in the meeting via video.
Originally, the development of Yuwen had reached a bottleneck. In the TT family, the three pillars were divided into their own studios. Wherever the project was, the team was there and the people were there. If there was no project, they would take a holiday and only show up in the company a few times a year.
Originally, I was thinking about sending a guest to the observation room of a dating variety show, but she was unwilling to do so. She was afraid of making mistakes because she was too talkative. This is the disadvantage of artists. When they really grow up, it is difficult for them to listen to you.
Later, Zhao Chunsheng simply used all actors and didn't bother about it. Facts have proved that it is right to hire actors. They are mature and steady, talk a lot, and pay less.
In addition to the old-fashioned things, the meeting naturally revolved around Xia Qing to talk about how to start work.
After the album is released and the data comes out, it is time to take on a wave of top business. It seems that there is no need to worry about the first half of 2026. At least Xia Qing is a bottom line.
Shen Hailan approached the desk and saw Xia Qingyi's average face, and asked: "Is the data not good?"
"It's just so-so. The sales volume is only more than 600,000 in half an hour after it was launched." Xia Qingyi laughed out loud after he finished speaking, and then looked at Shen Hailan: "Are you happy now?"
Shen Hailan was stunned for a moment, then came over, and when he confirmed that the number was really more than 600,000, he shook his head and sighed: "This is the value of the explosive product. It's only been half an hour. The album that you guys made on Penguin four years ago has only sold a little over 940,000 on all platforms so far."
Outsiders may not understand this data.
In the era of digital music, that is, the era that does not include the sales of physical records, there are only three female singers including girl groups with sales of more than one million on all platforms in the entire domestic entertainment industry.
Why is it said on the Internet that Xia Qingyi is the last glory of the Chinese girl group? It's because the album sales during her girl group period were the highest, which is more than 940,000 as Shen Hailan said.
Logically speaking, it is possible to operate to one million, but it will cause backlash. Breaking this data means facing the torture of the entire industry and the pressure of face from other female singers.
However, there is no need to worry about it this time. The popularity of the love variety show is enough to carry all the outrageous data.
Shen Hailan clicked on the comment area of the album.
"Hahaha, as expected, things you don't know are also included. I came for Chen Gou to help him pay his debts, hahaha"
"Some people are too much. Let's not talk about the Youen Trilogy here!"
"Qingyi baby, come on, go"
"Damn it, do you want Chen Gou to die? You can't let him live in peace under the show? Hahaha, I laughed to death!"
Shen Hailan felt that her forehead was full of black lines. She seemed to understand why Xia Qingyi was a little unhappy. A lot of people in the comment area said something about the Youen Trilogy.
Busy in the afternoon, Shen Hailan hasn't watched the finale yet, but she probably guessed it.
I wanted to comfort them, but when the words came to my lips, I laughed again: "Haha! Don't pay attention to them, just give them money, look, I refreshed and sold 700,000 copies."
Xia Qing rolled her eyes. She was definitely a little uncomfortable, but the benefit fell on her, what could she do? Dig up the past? That's too hypocritical.
The more people play this kind of joke, the greater the sales.
The mainstream now is the era of digital free, and it's amazing that people don't mind paying for it, not to mention the millions of sales, which is why not so many people make music.
This mini album has a total of six songs, priced at 12 yuan, and it will soon exceed 10 million.
Shen Hailan stepped back and stood behind Xia Qingyi, and slowly put her hand on her shoulder and kneaded it: "Actually, it's a good thing. For Chen Shen, he doesn't owe Xu Youen anything."
Xia Qingyi was a little uncomfortable and stubborn, but Shen Hailan didn't withdraw her hand. It was also because they had been getting closer and closer during this period, and even Chen Shen was talking to her about Chen Shen's affairs, or because he had made a breakthrough in his career. Under the overall situation, the relationship between Shen Hailan and Shen Hailan was getting better and better.
"What's the point of owing each other?" Xia Qingyi replied.
Shen Hailan just smiled. She remembered that when she asked the boss before, he said that the specific arrangement of Xia Qingyi's work was definitely a top business. After this show was broadcast, the album sales would go up, and she would be the most powerful female idol in China.
But what about the follow-up? Will she go to run variety shows? Or act? Or try to do concerts?
In the current market, there are really not many concerts that can make money.
The boss's attitude was a bit ambiguous. He hinted that he wanted to see Chen Shen.
In other words, the boss was already paying attention to Chen Shen and took him very seriously.
What's the point of owing money? From Xia Qingyi's perspective, maybe she is in a general mood at this moment, and it is indeed meaningless, but it is a bit interesting for the company.
"Sister Lan, I want to start a live broadcast tomorrow." Xia Qingyi suddenly said.
Shen Hailan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded immediately: "Okay, this is a good thing, do you need my cooperation?"
Xia Qingyi shook his head: "Just report to you, don't let someone come to you to make a small report, saying that I did something privately."
"Pfft, who dares?"
It was cloudy on Monday. If you look up, you can't see any blue. The weather is a bit cold, and there are down jackets on the street.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhou Guican came out of the office leisurely with a folder in his hand. There is a meeting in the first week of 2026.
Walking all the way to the conference room, everyone he met called Mr. Zhou with a smile.
It's hard for Zhou Guican to be unhappy. The drama series is coming to an end. The so-called ugly brother is no longer important. Not so many people are still taking it seriously. He and Chen Shen reconciled on the show.
The title "Chou Brother" has basically become a meme. Now some people on the Internet say that Chen Shen came to Huanyue because of him.
All the discussions slowly evolved into prestige, so much so that people in the company became a little more enthusiastic when they saw Zhou Guican.
Stepping into the conference room, Zhou Guican was stunned. There were so many people there.
Not only the boss Zhao Jingquan was there, but Zhao Xiaozhi was also there. Chen Tianhui was naturally there. It was impossible for him to miss this occasion. However, Che Zhilai and Ren Dongjun from the project department were also there.
Zhou Guican was a little confused, wasn't Che Zhilai filming in Hengdian? Already finished filming?
After everyone arrived, Chen Tianhui briefly talked about what was going to be discussed today.
It’s nothing more than a summary of last year and a new beginning.
It's just that Huanyue didn't have good results last year. The brocade clothes that Che Zhilai built in the second half of the year are still in production. It is difficult to deliver the financial report for 2025.
The most important thing for an entertainment company is artists and projects. Chen Tianhui first gave a summary of the artists. Yang Qingqing confirmed the termination of the contract, but because of some old feelings, he could cooperate with Huan Yue to announce the news. The newly signed artists have already started working on projects.
Li Ruqing gained a lot of popularity by relying on the love variety show. Zuo Jianqing was sent to Mango TV to participate in a group variety show for male artists. Almost all old artists were in Jinyi's project.
"As for Chen Shen."
Chen Tianhui's words were stuck here, and then he sighed: "Driver, please tell me."
Che Zhilai is actually not that old, but he is thin and has a beard. The key is that the beard is a little white, making him look like a thin old man.
Che Zhilai glanced at Zhao Jingquan and Zhao Xiaozhi before saying: "What's wrong with Chen Shen? Wasn't the biggest achievement last year the signing of Chen Shen? What? It's become a taboo? So, is it time for me to review it now?"
Chen Tianhui smiled and smoothed things over: "Director, it's not that serious. We just want to chat together and see if we can find a breakthrough."
Che Zhilai answered: "It's easy to find. Isn't Chen Shen the breakthrough point? With Chen Shen in the Jinyi project, it's hard not to make money, right?"
"Old car!" Zhao Jingquan called out from the host seat.
Che Zhilai leaned back on his chair and stopped talking.
Chen Tianhui leaned towards Che Zhilai: "Che Zhilai, there are some things that the company has no choice but to do. Look over there."
"What's wrong with me? Didn't you send Chen Shen in? I changed the script and all the filming was based on Chen Shen. Now you tell me that the person can't come? What can I do?"
While Che Zhilai and Chen Tianhui were talking back and forth, Zhou Guican seemed to understand a little bit. He actually didn't know about this. No wonder someone in the company said that Jinyi's filming progress was slow.
So, the slow progress of Jinyi's filming is because of Chen Shen?
The director is still filming according to the script with Chen Shen present?
Didn't that guy just go there for a few days, and the car guide couldn't forget him so much? This question was just a thought that came to Zhou Guican's mind, and then he smiled softly. It was so new to that guy.
"Ahem." Zhou Guican suddenly coughed twice, and everyone couldn't help but look over.
There was a smile on Zhou Guican's face. Since the problem was already on Chen Shen, as a good friend of Chen Shen, I had to stand up and say a few words.
If you can't solve these things, why can't I, Old Zhou, solve them?
"Driver, Mr. Chen, I don't think there's any need to fight over this." With one sentence, the audience focused their attention on him, and then Zhou Guican opened the folder in front of him and continued.
"Let me talk about some data first. As of 9 a.m., the advance on-demand sales data of "Love Lesson" on Penguin Video exceeded 130 million, which has set the highest record in the entire advance on-demand history and is still The refresh, including new paid members, advertising follow-up investment and content influence, has even affected the stock fluctuations of the entire Penguin Group. It is conservatively estimated that this wave can bring a value of at least one billion to Penguin Video.” (PS: This data is not an exaggeration. When Kuangbiao was broadcast exclusively on iQiyi, iQiyi’s stock rose by more than 500 million, which was still a US dollar. Of course, the core logic behind it is a direct reflection of iQiyi’s content incubation. )
"Furthermore, the sales of Xia Qingyi's new album "The Wind Rises" released last night. As of 9 o'clock this morning, the total sales exceeded 1.5 million. In the digital music sector, it has reached the top of the domestic entertainment industry. The singer ranks third in the overall ranking, and will soon surpass the second place."
Zhou Guican smiled and talked about all kinds of gorgeous data.
What he didn't notice was that with each additional statistic, Zhao Jingquan's face darkened.
The first data can only show that Chen Shen is important enough to Penguin Video. If Penguin Video met Chen Shen in private, they could completely bypass Huanyue and snatch Chen Shen. The liquidated damages in Chen Shen's contract are nothing to Penguin Video. Shit.
Litigation? There is no one in China, but who gets the advantage in the lawsuit against Penguin Group?
The second figure was obviously Huan Yue's person, but the direct benefit was taken over by Yu Wen. Zhao Jingquan glanced at Zhao Xiaozhi, who was sitting in the first place on the left.
Zhao Xiaozhi could only lower his head, not daring to look at his father.
Chen Shen's popularity was unexpected. It was just a romance show. Why did it become so popular that it became a national drama? Who the hell would have thought of this?
After Huanyue and Chen Shen had a falling out, Zhao Jingquan personally called Zhao Chunsheng, just to test Zhao Chunsheng's attitude and find out the truth about the love variety show. As a result, he kept talking about Xia Qingyi, saying that he was under great pressure and could not take care of Chen Shen's editing.
This perspective and this statement are very reasonable. He is the boss of Huanyue and Chen Shen is Huanyue's artist. Isn't calling him to fight for the interests of his own artist?
He declined by saying that he had to take care of Yuwen's face and could not ruin Xia Qingyi, the female idol. Doesn't that mean he had to suppress Chen Shen's editing?
Even if the love variety show is popular, can it be popular on Chen Shen?
What was the result? Zhao Chunsheng did not lie. He really suppressed Chen Shen's editing, but he was suppressing the popularity! It was also very popular.
When Zhao Jingquan saw the first hot search on Weibo yesterday [Entertainment Circle Welcomes You Chen Shen! ], he almost had high blood pressure.
Zhou Guican had already fallen into his own rhythm, so he didn't care about his boss's expression. "Then our Huanyue's stock hit the daily limit half an hour ago. I also took a look at Yuwen's stock, which also rose slightly. I'm not saying this to say anything for Chen Shen, but I think that harmony brings wealth. The value that this love show can create is beyond our imagination."
