《Rebirth of the Entertainment Giant》Record Labels
Advertisement
After the representatives of New Century left, although there were only four record companies left, but in the eyes of everyone, there was actually only three companies left. They were Rock Records, Huasheng and Universal.
As for the representative of the Sparrow Records Company, he was directly recognized as air due to his lack presence.
At this time, the representatives of Rock, Huasheng, and Universal were all showing their hostility towards each other. The negotiations hadn't even begun yet and there was already the strong smell of gunpowder in the air.
The negotiation table as their battlefield and contract offers as their bullets.
So from this moment onwards, it was a battle royale which allowed only a single survivor as today it was destined that only one company would leave as a partner, and HuaXiang Entertainment was a potential cash cow. Who wouldn't want a piece of the action?
Once one company entered into a partnership with HuaXiang Entertainment, it also meant that the other companies wouldn’t also get their share of resources.
To put it simply, today, these record companies didn’t actually come to HuaXiang Entertainment for real cooperation, but as a way to reach Wang Jingwen, the current supernova, that had exploded into the music scene.
No matter which company owns her, she would add strength and fame to the company. Of course, the main purpose of these major companies was to just use her current fame to make money while Wang Jingwen she was still popular. It was all about personal interests, naturally.
"Well, everyone, welcome to our company. Before we talk about cooperation, I would like to let everyone listen to our company's latest work. After you finish listening, it won't be too late to talk."
Zhang Xiaohua, who was the host, spoke first and then winked at Yuan Datong.
Yuan Datong noticed immediately, went to the safe and took out the master tape, inserting it into the computer drive, and reproduced the already recorded album, all five songs continuously, one by one.
The representatives of the three major companies were all overwhelmed, and their hearts were longing for more. No matter if it was the spirit or the mind, they all went completely silent in the distinctive yet refreshing melody that lingered around them.
When Wang Jingwen's magnetic and affectionate voice rang, the moment was like the spring breeze. It struck a chord in their hearts and brought them back to their childhood when they dreamed of becoming millionaires and other nonsensical dreams and ideas they had always wanted to pursue. The melody almost urged them to indulge and act on their dreams.

As the music’s final note fell, the people still couldn't return to earth. Their eyes flashed with brilliance. Among them were many emotions that seemed to evoke many memories in them, and it seemed that they did not want to let go.
The melody brought forth a beautiful mood that lingered, it was completely unforgettable.
"So, are you satisfied with the works of our company?" Xiaohua was sitting in a chair behind a desk, playing with a pen in his hand and smiling at the three companies. He seemed not to feel any tension in negotiating with the big companies. Obviously, he already had enough decision power and took over the pace of the negotiations.
At this time, in the minds of the representatives of the three major companies, this small, inconspicuous company had already changed its face. Although the decoration here was simple, it now gave them feeling of grandeur and the initial impression of the company was wiped from their minds. If they had to use one sentence to describe this company, it would have to be: "Pretending to be a Pig, to eat the Tiger".
And Zhang Xiaohua, when they first met him, the representatives of the three major companies only thought that he was a juvenile who got lucky, scored a hit, and dared claim to be a boss, after all he was still in his 20s. What a joke!
However, after just seeing Zhang Xiaohua's anger, the representatives of the three major companies had a new impression on him.
Seeing this kid look down even on New Century, his demolition of the representative had deterred and crushed their confidence.
Now he had delivered the fatal blow those five songs. The representatives now involuntarily saw Zhang Xiaohua as someone on the same level as their own bosses.
At this time, the representatives of the three major companies looked at each other, and the hostility between them was complete. Immediately afterwards, everyone stepped foward, swarming around Zhang Xiaohua. The scene was comparable to a 100-meter race.
As a result, the representative of the Rock Records who had the advantage of making the first move was the first one to reach Zhang Xiaohua, and he immediately took out a contract from his bag, giving it to Zhang Xiaohua. "Boss Zhang, you first take a look at our company's contract. As for the cooperation, we can discuss any issues."

At the same time, the representatives of the two companies, Huasheng and Universal, were filled with hate, swearing at him in their minds:
"God damn it, what a son of a b***c, how am I meant to go back now. He actually dares to rob me, this granddaddy, from his promotion, hmm... wait till we reach the parking lot."
Zhang Xiaohua bowed his head and snorted his nose. The face was calm and blank, but in his heart, he was rejoicing.
Picking up the contract book, Zhang Xiaohua seriously began to read it.
But after just two minutes, Zhang Xiaohua's face became dignified, as if he was not looking at contract, but a demonic novel.
"Hmm!" suddenly closing the contract, Zhang Xiaohua threw it on the desk. He looked at the representative of the company, and asked, "Why doesn't just rob a bank instead?"
In fact, Zhang Xiaohua was satisfied with the contents of the contract, for the most part. The company not only offered to be responsible for recording an official music video but also making copies of the song and to take care of the packaging and promotion for them. Even arranging concerts and other commercial activities, plus their company was a large brand name so sales shouldn't be an issue.
But at the end of the contract, it was written that all commercial income must be divided so that Rock Records would receive 90%, while HuaXiang Entertainment would only receive 10% of the profits. However, in Zhang Xiaohua's view, the proportion of the two parties were the exactly the opposite.
"If Boss Zhang has some opinions, please put it forward. I will report them to the company's top management as soon as possible. I believe that with your company's strength, our company won't treat you unfairly in terms and conditions!" Compliment.
Zhang Xiaohua grinned: "You all proposed that you should receive 90% of the profits right? Even if I have conditions, can you satisfy me? 40% or 60% should be your bottom line, right?"
"Uhh!?" The representative of the Rock Company was red with embarrassment, the contract he had produced was prepared without realising the strength of HuaXiang Entertainment. Presumably, even if it was divided into 40% or 60%, the company would agree, but as Zhang Xiaohua said, this should be the company's bottom line.
"Well, we will account for 60%, and your company will account for 40%. I think there should be no problem. If it all goes well, we can talk about the records below." The representative of the Rock Company readily agreed. There were still two companies behind him waiting to snatch this golden goose away from him. Therefore, the representative of the company took the lead and decided to get the contract first.
At this time, Yuan Datong and Emma’s faces had already exploded with wide smiles..
It was no wonder that the Rock Records Corporation was such a big company. They were quite decisive when needed.
Yuan Datong could not even think that one day he could cooperate with such a big company. But now not only did they become partners with of Rock Records, they also reached a high-return agreement of 40% of every RMB made. This was the stuff of his dreams!
Especially Wang Jingwen, although she was more inclined to cooperate with the industry leader that was New Century Entertainment, she didn't have the right to speak on such matters. Moreover, New Century Entertainment had been completely rejected by Zhang Xiaohua, and no matter how much she advertised for them, it would be useless. Fortunately, Rock Records strength was also not weak, if she could work with them, it would also be a good thing.
Unexpectedly, when everyone was happy to be able to reach cooperation with Rock Records, they heard Zhang Xiaohua suddenly say to the representative of Rock Records: "I'm sorry, the conditions you have set out are beyond my bottom line. I can't cooperate with your company."
At the same time, Zhang Xiaohua turned around, and looking at Emma again, he blankly said: "Emma, please help me send him off!"
