Chapter 262: Chapter 242: You Actually Dare to Think about Inviting Wu Mu Chapter 262: Chapter 242: You Actually Dare to Think about Inviting Wu Mu Tencent Music undoubtedly ca seeking exclusive album rights as well.
Mo Mo’s previous album “Farewell” had been extrely profitable.
Even more than the profits, though, the most crucial aspect was its ability to attract new users.
No one knows how many users who had never registered or spent money before spent their first di because of Mo Mo’s album.
For a platform, that was far more important than simply making money.
Even if they couldn’t secure the exclusive rights to this album, they absolutely couldn’t let a rival platform get them.
With brash financial power, the Tencent Platform offered four million more than NetEase Cloud’s bid, proposing an exclusive authorization fee of twenty-two million, in addition to an equal revenue-sharing ratio.
This offer seed to show a bit more “sincerity” than NetEase Cloud’s.
However, there were those even more earnest.
Representatives from Migu Music also ca by, with an even more shocking offer: they went straight up to thirty million…
But for an ordinary singer to exclusively release on their platform would be purely a losing trade, as they had far fewer users, and the money couldn’t make up for the loss of user purchasing revenue.
They knew this fact very well, and their offer was more about stirring up excitent and throwing a wrench in the works.
Still, the news of all three mainstream music platforms seeking exclusive rights undoubtedly turned many heads.
What’s going on?
Is Wu Mu really that in demand?
While everyone was still debating whether Wu Mu was a top-tier singer in the industry, the treatnt he received from the music platforms suggested they valued him even more than the average top-tier singer.
This kind of scramble for rights usually only happened with super-hot stars.
Everyone was surprised by the platforms’ emphasis on Wu Mu.
In Star City, people were also discussing Wu Mu’s situation.
…
Star City, eting room of the “Legendary Voice” project group at Star City TV.
A project eting was underway.
An old acquaintance of Wu Mu, Wu Feng, who had produced the show that launched Wu Mu’s career, “singer-songwriter,” and also the one who had kicked him out and assisted Xinghai Mobile in blacklisting him.
He was standing in the place of honor, speaking solemnly:
“The expectations of this show from our TV station don’t need to be stated, you all can see that from the support provided, right? You’re all the elite soldiers and strong fighters specially chosen from various shows at our station, the very best we have. Bringing you all together is aid at creating a new hit, a program that could rival or even surpass our ‘singer-songwriter’!”
Wu Feng had set the bar high.
The “singer-songwriter” program was undoubtedly the station’s top-rated variety show and was also at the top tier in terms of ratings and popularity in the whole country’s variety circles.
And now, they were planning a new program that would surpass “singer-songwriter.”
Wu Feng set the bar high, but he also felt a certain confidence, believing it was very possible.
This possibility ca partly from the station’s strong support and resource allocation for the new show, and partly from their program planning.
“As for the the of our show, I believe you all understand it very clearly— a competition between power singers from Hua Country and other Asian countries!”
“However, it’s crucial that the selection of dostic singers must be true power hitters, while for the singers from other countries, talent can be considered secondly; their popularity in our country should be the primary consideration. Our show’s tone is not like ‘I Am a Singer,’ where we’re overshadowed by others; we aim to maintain a high difficulty level but also an evenly matched and entertaining spectacle.”
“When everyone is planning and considering the singers, you should all start from this the.”
Hmm, their new program’s the is a showdown between dostic powerhouse singers and other Asian singers.
The inspiration and idea were refined from this year’s explosive new season of “I Am a Singer.”
This season’s “I Am a Singer” had a popularity and fa that could be described as frightening.
Not only were the regular viewers of music variety shows watching, but even those who never cared for music shows before were paying attention.
And the reason it broke out of the circle this year can be said to be largely thanks to the gimmick of dostic singers versus foreign singers.
Then, the station, keenly picking up on this essence from “I Am a Singer,” realized that extracting and focusing on this core idea to create a separate program could be very promising.
Over the years, with the advancent of the dostic economy and the elevation of our country’s global political status, our people have demystified those foreign images once idolized in various stories and, at the sa ti, have been sowhat eager for those once-hyped-up foreigners to recognize our progress and to praise it in return.
This sentint, reflected in the field of cultural products, ans that audiences also want to see those renowned foreign singers surprised and acknowledging our own dostic singers’ skills.
Wu Feng felt that as long as the program catered to this audience psychology, it should be very promising.
After Wu Feng made his opening speech, he let the program team mbers below speak freely, brainstorming various suggestions.
As Star City TV’s elite forces specially transferred from the station, naturally, all the people below understood Wu Feng’s aning.
Everyone started speaking.
“The first dostic singer we must invite is Mo Mo. Mo Mo, as a big na in dostic singers, is essential. Without her, our program’s claim of having powerful singers wouldn’t hold up.”
“And there’s Huang Zong, his strength among dostic singers is also top-notch.”
“What about Liang Jun, King Liang? His reputation and strength are convincing.”
“People are convinced by him, but King Liang Jun probably won’t accept this kind of gig. He’s already scaled back his activities these past few years; it’s unlikely he’ll join our program. Losing would be embarrassing, and winning is expected.”
“We can also invite a few national team mbers as a backup, to act as challenge singers in the middle, and if the situation goes south, we can bring them out.”
Everyone brainstord.
Then, a voice resonated in the eting room.
“What about Wu Mu? Should we invite Wu Mu?”
Hm?
Eh?!
The atmosphere in the heated conference room instantly cald down.
Everyone cast a subtly colored gaze at the person who had just spoken.
The speaker was a program planner sitting in the corner.
He seed unaware that he had said sothing wrong and tentatively said, “Wu Mu is also considered a top-tier figure in the circle, and he’s about to release a new album, with his popularity at its peak. Inviting him would not lack either strength or heat.”
Hmm, what you’re saying makes sense.
But do you think the others here don’t know that, don’t understand?
In the past six months of the dostic singer circuit, who could bypass him?
Everyone deliberately avoided ntioning that na when making suggestions.
Have you forgotten where that person was first banned, and who made that decision?
Everyone looked peculiar, though they sat upright, only glancing with the corners of their eyes towards the main seat of the conference room.
Unsurprisingly, Wu Feng, sitting there, had a dark expression on his face, etched with displeasure.
