I turned out to be top-notch!

Chapter 221 Talking about Remuneration

[Public explanation and renewed apology statement]

"I'm sorry because the content of my past remarks has triggered public discussion and criticism and occupied public resources."

"In the past six months, I have been living in pain, annoyance, and regret. I am deeply sorry for the damage caused to the personal reputation of the client, Zhou Dingran."

“I published Zhou Dingran’s personal information and misunderstood remarks in my circle of friends, school forums, and department groups without verification, which caused vicious spread to a certain extent and damaged Zhou Dingran’s reputation. It has had a very negative impact, for which I feel very sorry and guilty!”

"I would like to formally apologize to classmate Zhou Dingran again. I am very sorry for the misunderstanding I had at that time, and for the negative impact that my personal irrational behavior has had on you in all aspects. I am really sorry."

"Due to the influence of the environment and family atmosphere I grew up in, I am personally more sensitive to this type of incident, so I impulsively posted misleading public information in Moments and WeChat groups without finding out the truth of the matter. Speech.”

"Here, I once again apologize for my inappropriate handling of this incident, and I apologize to classmate Zhou Dingran whose reputation has been damaged."

"Through this incident, I have also seriously reflected on my overly emotional way of handling it. I should face and handle emergencies more calmly and rationally, and I should not accuse or slander anyone without having evidence." , I would like to express my apology to classmate Zhou Dingran again!"

"I know clearly that the negative impact caused by this incident will not disappear, but I hope that with this public apology, I can make up for Zhou Dingran's social reputation as much as possible."

"Finally, I hope everyone will take a warning and avoid making subjective assumptions without verifying the facts, and do not act impulsively, so as not to cause a worse impact than the incident itself. I would like to express my apology to classmate Zhou Dingran again: I'm sorry!"

Huang Yuting's apology statement was issued at one o'clock in the morning.

It was quiet at first, but just as Zhou Dingran became famous, some fans suddenly discovered Huang Yuting's apology statement when searching for related hot words.

Many fans still have fresh memories of Huang Yuting, and they suddenly thought that this person was the person involved in the "top-level sexual harassment" case. Some people even searched for the essay written by Huang Yuting half a year ago and found that the blog post had been published earlier. It was hidden or deleted by Huang Yuting and can no longer be queried.

But the Internet has memory, and you can easily search for traces of relevant essays. Many people immediately recalled the fear of being dominated by essays: Anyone who speaks for Zhou Dingran, regardless of gender, will be criticized by those feminist bloggers on the Internet. Mainly attack criticism.

Because of this incident, Tianmang also sued Zhou Dingran on the grounds of damaging the company's reputation and breaking the contract.

During that time, many advertising endorsement brands did immediately draw a clear line with Zhou Dingran and required the party involved, Zhou Dingran, to pay liquidated damages.

Later, before the court could pronounce its verdict, the Nortel school used some images to prove that Zhou Dingran did not commit any indecent behavior at that time.

So Tianmang withdrew the lawsuit, and although Huang Yuting, the client, also sent a letter of apology at the time, there was no regret at all between the lines. She even responded angrily to the angry comments from netizens. Later, she couldn't bear the scolding anymore. Just clear Weibo and run away, and the matter ended up being settled.

In order not to be dragged down by Tianmang and terminate the contract as soon as possible, Zhou Dingran finally agreed to reconcile and chose to leave Tianmang.

Facts have proved that his choice is correct.

In less than half a year, Zhou Dingran has risen again, and his popularity has exploded, with a bright future.

If he were still trapped in Tianmang because the contract restricted his personal freedom, it would have been impossible for Zhou Dingran to achieve such amazing results in just a few months.

Now, half a year later, Huang Yuting finally took the initiative to show up and chose to issue an apology statement again at this time. This was obviously not an impulsive decision, but a decision made after careful consideration.

I am afraid that until the last moment, Tianmang and Huang Yuting are not willing to believe that the famous Fat-headed Fish is Zhou Dingran.

But now the facts are before our eyes, so two hours after the live broadcast of the show, Huang Yuting chose this early morning, when everyone was asleep, to issue an apology statement in an attempt to minimize the impact.

But obviously, this is just wishful thinking.

There are many "night owls" in China who are still awake at one or two o'clock

"Huang Yuting apologizes again" was posted on Weibo for less than an hour, and it was already in the top ten of the hot search list at [-] o'clock at midnight.

By noon the next day, the hot search terms related to "Huang Yuting apologizes again" were directly in the top three of the hot search list and were discussed by countless people.

The "top-level sexual harassment" case that made a lot of noise at the beginning finally received a sincere apology from the person involved after half a year.

"This is scary. Not only Huang Yuting is scared, but Tianmang is also scared!"

"With Zhou Dingran's growth rate, who can afford to offend him? He might become a super boss in a few years!"

"Zhou Dingran's live broadcast sales can sell two to three hundred million yuan each time, which is comparable to the turnover of a medium and large enterprise!"

"The huge popularity brought by the fat-headed fish has made Zhou Dingran directly promoted to the top ranks. Not only did he study under Chen Daozhou, but he also had the support of Wen Chao Gong, a super songwriter. With this background, who can't help but think about it?"

"If it wasn't Zhou Dingran after the fat-headed fish was revealed, Huang Yuting would probably continue to be a coward, and this letter of apology would probably have to wait for a long, long time."

"I heard that Zhejiang Satellite TV plans to support Zhou Dingran, and there will be a series of in-depth cooperation and tie-ups in the future. Tianmang is not a fool. The situation is stronger than others. Facing the strong, he will naturally bow his head."

"This Huang Yuting really makes me sick. I just checked her information. During the sexual harassment case, she actually signed a contract with Tianmang, and Tianmang just recently signed a drama for her to be the heroine!"

"Tianmang has long planned to kick Zhou Dingran away and replace him with the crown prince Huang Boran. After all, Zhou Dingran was a famous swimming prince in the Miracle Youth League, and the sexual harassment case is nothing more than Huang Yuting's surrender!"

"It really disgusts me. Until now, there are still some feminist bloggers on the Internet speaking for Huang Yuting! It's simply distorted views!"

"Artists like Huang Yuting must be classified as bad artists. I don't want to see her on any platform."

"I agree, I don't want to either. I feel sick when I see this name!"

"Actually, if this incident was just a misunderstanding about being touched and an overreaction on the spot, it would not have caused such a big public outrage. The problem is that Huang Yuting has to use the power of social morality to make people feel guilty without any evidence. 'Social death'. After the matter was found out, you turned your back and showed no apology at all. This is too much. If you use the power of social morality to attack others, don't blame others for treating you in the same way."

Countless netizens discussed this matter all night long. Zhou Dingran even woke up in the hotel early in the morning and saw the relevant blog post information push. Zhou Dingran was curious and went in to watch it for a while before getting up to wash up.

Today we will sign a new program contract with Zhejiang Satellite TV. The new program is a talent show. The name of the program is yet to be determined, but the content and format have been fully informed to Zhou Dingran through Wang Xiuzhi - it is a large-scale female group talent show.

How big is it?
  Nearly a thousand brokerage companies across the country and even across Asia participated, sending a total of more than 15 young women aged 20 to [-] to enter the audition. After a hundred days, a hundred contestants with the highest overall strength were selected to enter the competition. , to compete for the only few group spots.

Similar to the original "National Idol".

However, "National Idol" is all participated by teenagers, while this program created by Zhejiang TV is exactly the opposite. All young girls participate, and the investment from the audition stage is much greater than that of "National Idol". It may be created Create a better idol team than the Miracle Boys.

Because of his outstanding performance in "The King of Masked Singer", Zhou Dingran has accepted the invitation to serve as the vocal instructor of the program team.

Of course, there is not only one mentor in the program team, Zhou Dingran is just one of them.

The quotas for at least four other mentors have not yet been agreed upon, but what is certain is that with such a huge investment in a talent show, the lineup of mentors must be very large.

On the way to Zhejiang TV Station, Liu Ruyan received a call. After hearing the introduction, Liu Ruyan's attitude immediately became respectful.

The content of the call also surprised Liu Ruyan. After thanking him repeatedly at the end, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but said to Zhou Dingran, "This is a call from the director at CCTV, inviting you to attend the New Year's Eve party."

Zhou Dingran was stunned. When he was surprised by Liu Ruyan's connections, he also asked in confusion: "CCTV New Year's Eve party? Which year is it, the Gregorian year?"

"Of course it's the solar year."

Liu Ruyan laughed and said, "If it's the Spring Festival Gala, is it still okay?"

Zhou Dingran scratched his head, it’s not impossible for the Spring Festival Gala...

However, although he is currently extremely popular and even has hopes of appearing on the Spring Festival Gala, Zhou Dingran is not so delusional.

The Spring Festival Gala program team is famous for its strict treatment of every artist and program. After all, it is a national gala. Most people don’t have special skills. No matter how famous they are, they really can’t get into it.

"It's almost November, and there are still two months left before the Gregorian New Year's Eve party. I'm calling you now to invite you. I guess I want to lock in your spot for that day in advance. After all, the New Year's Eve party will be broadcast live. You are now very popular. It’s so popular, no wonder CCTV called so early to lock it in advance.”

When Liu Ruyan said this, she frowned slightly: "Every major TV station holds a New Year's Eve party for the Gregorian calendar year. CCTV is not the only choice. Compared with the Spring Festival Gala, the ratings of CCTV's Gregorian New Year's Eve party are not outstanding... …”

"So?" Zhou Dingran asked his agent's opinion.

Liu Ruyan said: "Wait a minute, with your current popularity, you don't have to worry about not having the chance to appear on the show. I think Zhejiang TV can give priority to the New Year's Eve party."

Zhou Dingran nodded, he actually thought so in his heart.

Now Zhou Dingran has just won the eighth crown of "The King of Masked Singer" and is extremely popular. He is also in the honeymoon period with Zhejiang Satellite TV. New Year's Eve parties are usually the year-end arrangements of major TV stations. If Zhou Dingran is the most popular artist from his program , went to other satellite TV stations to perform on New Year’s Eve, and Zhejiang TV’s hearts were probably colder than the water in West Lake.

Before arriving at Zhejiang TV Station, Jiang Xiaohong also mentioned Huang Yuting's public apology to Zhou Dingran.

Zhou Dingran didn't have much reaction. He learned the news when he woke up early in the morning. He didn't bother to pay attention to people like Huang Yuting.

Liu Ruyan said: "This should be Tianmang's show of goodwill. If nothing else happens, Tianmang may take the initiative to cooperate with you on some projects during this period. After all, in this world, there are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal enemies." Friends have only eternal interests."

Zhou Dingran smiled when he heard this. From a capital perspective, this is indeed the truth.

But Zhou Dingran is a human being first. He can remember what Tianmang did to him in his predecessor for the rest of his life.

All the humiliation I endured some time ago is just to be able to stand upright in front of you today and slap you hard in the face.

If given this opportunity, Zhou Dingran would definitely retaliate.

But it is obvious that although Zhou Dingran is currently extremely popular, it is still difficult to defeat Tianmang. It is impossible for an individual to trip up an entertainment giant with a market value of tens of billions by himself.

The simplest and most direct way is to become capital yourself, and then through the most direct business war, acquire this company, which is known as the top five entertainment companies, and finally destroy the management from top to bottom.

Of course, there is a long way to go.

But just thinking about it made Zhou Dingran feel comfortable all over.

He is not Han Xin. He is always willing to repay kindness, and even repay kindness with kindness. He foolishly thinks that as long as he is good to others, he can always get the same treatment.

But the capital market is like Liu Bang. He will be good to you only when his interests are consistent. Once interests conflict, he will never be good to you forever.

Just like today's Tianmang, he showed his kindness to Zhou Dingran just because he felt that the interests of both parties were consistent and that cooperation could be a win-win situation.

If Zhou Dingran was still the Zhou Dingran before, he would crush Zhou Dingran to death without blinking an eye.

"In any case, Huang Yuting was sacrificed by Tianmang. This student from Nortel, who originally had a great future, became cannon fodder in this fight."

Liu Ruyan said as he handed the tablet in his hand to Zhou Dingran.

Zhou Dingran took the tablet and looked at it, and there was a news on it. Tianmang's new drama "Urban Sweetheart" changed the heroine, and the original heroine was Huang Yuting.

"It is said that the filming of "Sweetheart in the City" has been started for several days. Now that the heroine is suddenly replaced, Tianmang will suffer a lot."

Liu Ruyan said with a smile: "But instead of worrying about being boycotted every day, it would be better to change the heroine in advance. This is considered far-sighted and shows that Tianmang is still very courageous to get to where he is today, but it's a pity that they were blind and let them go." You are such a big fish.”

Zhou Dingran snorted coldly: "What kind of loss is this? To Tianmang, this loss is not worth a dime."

"It's really not worth it, but they kicked Huang Yuting out and forced Huang Yuting to issue an apology letter at this time. They are indeed showing their goodwill to you. If they come to you for a big investment project in the future, how will you choose?" Liu Ruyan asked seriously.

Zhou Dingran smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

"How can a good man give up for five buckets of rice?"

Liu Ruyan's eyes were bright: "We need more money!"

Zhou Dingran was dumbfounded. He originally sneered, but after thinking about it carefully, he also felt that "adding more money" was a good choice. Of course he would justly refuse a salary of [-] million for a movie role, but what if it was [-] million?
  Zhou Dingran felt that it was not impossible to consider it.

The car soon arrived at Zhejiang TV Station.

Compared with the bustling streets before, now that "The King of Masked Singer" has officially ended, the entrance to the TV station seems very deserted.

After checking their identities, Zhou Dingran and others' vehicles drove straight to the parking lot. Zhou Dingran and Liu Ruyan took the underground elevator to the Zhejiang Satellite TV office building.

The two people were led by the staff to the conference room.

At this time, Zhejiang Satellite TV director Guo Zhiyuan and "The Masked Singer" director Zuo Qiuliang and others were already waiting in the conference room. Seeing Zhou Dingran and Liu Ruyan arriving, everyone stood up to greet them, with smiles on their lips. Full of smiles.

"Xiao Zhou is here, sit down, sit down quickly!"

"Hi leaders!"

Zhou Dingran smiled and shook hands with Guo Zhiyuan and others one by one. Just when he asked Zuo Qiuliang in surprise why you were here, he heard Guo Zhiyuan looking at Liu Ruyan with a smile: "Miss Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Last time When I visited your father, it was more than ten years ago. I remember that at that time, I was still a young boy who had just entered the workplace. Fortunately, Director Liu supported me, but I didn’t expect that after so many years, you are still the same as before, and you have not changed at all. "

These words made Zhou Dingran's ears prick up.

Zuo Qiu Liang pulled Zhou Dingran familiarly and said, "Why can't I be here? I am the director of this new project!"

Zhou Dingran was not too surprised when he heard this. Zuo Qiuliang has become famous after this season of "The King of Masked Singer", and his salary is expected to double. If Zhejiang Satellite TV wants to retain him, it can only give him a better The project was given to Zuo Qiu Liang to direct, otherwise no one could guarantee whether Zuo Qiu Liang would suddenly jump to Xiangnan Satellite TV or Jiangnan Satellite TV for a sky-high salary the next day, and it would be too late to cry.

Seemingly sensing Zhou Dingran's doubts, Zuo Qiu Liang looked at Guo Zhiyuan, who was reminiscing with Liu Ruyan, and whispered: "You don't know Liu Ruyan's father's name?"

"This... I don't know."

Zhou Dingran scratched his head: "You know?"

Zuo Qiuliang actually just found out, but he was pretending to be mysterious at the moment and pointed to the ceiling with a serious face: "Fourteen years ago, he served as the second-in-command of the Bureau of Culture and Broadcasting, and then rose through the ranks... Now he is a provincial governor. Chief, that’s all I can say.”

Zhou Dingran opened his mouth and looked at Liu Ruyan, who was chatting and laughing. For the first time, he noticed that this slim woman who loved to wear black leather pants had a different brilliance on her body.

"Three years to go on the market...it turns out it's not a joke."

Zhou Dingran was more shocked at this moment than when he won the championship last night.

No wonder that even though he was the protagonist of this meeting, everyone in the entire meeting room greeted Liu Ruyan in an almost flattering manner.

He sat silently and stopped talking.

On the other side, Liu Ruyan smiled and chatted with Guo Zhiyuan and others for a few words before getting down to work.

To be honest, except for Guo Zhiyuan, she didn't know anyone else at the scene. Even Guo Zhiyuan, if Liu Ruyan didn't take the initiative to mention the past, Liu Ruyan would not be able to remember the past impressions at all.

After all, in the years since she entered the entertainment industry, she has rarely mentioned her family background to outsiders.

Even if it is mentioned, it is mostly about the husband.

Her current husband is a soldier, but because of his special status, he has always claimed to be the boyfriend of a wealthy businessman. Although they are married, they have been separated all year round. Except for meeting during holidays, they are almost strangers. .

And even this information is rarely known.

Even when Zhenshijia hired Liu Ruyan as an independent agent to lead Zhou Dingran, it knew very little about Liu Ruyan's life experience.

What they fancy is Liu Ruyan's connections and abilities in the industry. After all, Liu Ruyan often appears in many high-end occasions and has some connections with many top giants in the industry. This has long been public news in the entertainment industry.

"This is the general content of the new program, as well as the contract to hire Xiao Zhou as the program mentor."

At the conference table, Guo Zhiyuan personally handed the contract to Liu Ruyan and said with a smile: "I believe Miss Liu has understood the general situation. You can take the contract back and look at it carefully. If there are any areas that need to be discussed, you can contact me directly. Contact me, my contact number is on the contract, and I will be directly responsible for this show."

Liu Ruyan flipped through it roughly, and when he saw the words "[-] million yuan" written on the signing bonus, he closed the contract, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back and take a closer look, and I will follow up after the results are available. Contact Director Guo."

After Guo Zhiyuan finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Dingran with a kind smile: "Xiao Zhou, work hard. I am very optimistic about you. Last night, the ratings exceeded 10%. Your contribution is very great. It seems that you have a lot to do with our Zhejiang Satellite TV." By fate, I said I wanted to buy your new drama, and it was not a blank promise. I just learned about your fairy-themed TV series, which is in line with the broadcasting conditions of our Zhejiang TV. How long does it take to complete it? "

Zhou Dingran thought: "If we hurry up, the filming may be completed within a month."

Guo Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Okay, I'll call Fang Kaige later and try to arrange for your drama to be broadcast on our satellite TV during the Spring Festival. What do you think?"

Zhou Dingran said quickly: "Then thank you very much, Mr. Guo, for your support."

Next, the whole conference room was in a happy mood, and not long after, Liu Ruyan left Zhejiang TV Station with Zhou Dingran.

On the way, Liu Ruyan took photos of the contract and submitted them to Zhenshijia's legal staff, asking them to check whether there were any irregularities in the contract regulations.

As for the most critical signing bonus, Liu Ruyan asked Zhou Dingran's opinion: "[-] million, only for ten episodes of the show, divided equally, [-] million for one episode, and the whole process lasted three months, what do you think? how?"

Zhou Dingran is also thinking that based on his net worth before the unveiling, [-] million is already a lot.

But overnight, Zhou Dingran's net worth has definitely changed dramatically.

In the previous life, the salary for tutors in similar programs, even for Luo Zhixiang's level, when recording the variety shows "Extreme Challenge" and "Produce 101" was around [-] million.

Looking at it this way, [-] million is a bit expensive for a popular mentor of Zhou Dingran's level.

“The price is actually negotiable.”

Seemingly sensing Zhou Dingran's thoughts, Liu Ruyan smiled and said: "This contract must have been drafted for some time. Based on your previous performance, 10 million is no more or less, but last night "Mongolia" "The King of Face Singer" has a ratings of over [-]%, which has proven your worth."

"To be honest, no artist can achieve this kind of monetization ability at this stage. This new program has invested a huge amount of money. It can be seen that Guo Zhiyuan is very optimistic about the entire program. He is very ambitious. If he goes one step further, he can win the top position of Zhejiang TV Station. If He wants to ensure ratings, so inviting you to be a mentor is the best choice."

Zhou Dingran looked at Liu Ruyan's tight leather pants, raised his head and asked, "Sister Yan, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Liu Ruyan thought for a while and said, "Although I don't know who the other mentors are yet, and I don't have any reference points, it shouldn't be a problem for you to ask for [-] million."

"Fifty million……"

Zhou Dingran nodded. In fact, he was not very interested in this signing bonus. If he had put it three months ago, he would have been cheering. But now his net income from a live broadcast is more than [-] million, so this [-] million is probably That is the income he earned from working hard to broadcast two or three live broadcasts to bring goods.

Of course, although live streaming is profitable, if you want to gain huge popularity and gain favorability, participating in ace programs created by Zhejiang TV, Xiangnan TV or even CCTV is undoubtedly the best choice.

Thinking of this, Zhou Dingran suddenly couldn't help but open the system interface.

He wanted to see how much favorability the fat-headed fish's identity would bring to him overnight.
