I turned out to be top-notch!

Hong Ye hurriedly went to check the work group, only to find that the ratings monitor was working overtime tonight and directly released the ratings of the current episode of "I Am a Singer". In addition to breaking 6% at the beginning, the ratings during the period were even higher. It rose all the way, and when Zhou Dingran came out, it rose directly to 10.1%.

"It's broken! It's really broken!"

Hong Ye's face turned red with excitement, and he even had tears in his eyes. This record is the best record in his career. Before this, although "I Am a Singer" was filmed for ten seasons, it had never reached 10.1 % Such exaggerated ratings data.

"Only one step away from the highest ratings record of "The Masked Singer"!"

"With only 0.6% difference, Zuoqiu Liang's so-called 'King of Variety Shows' title will be stepped on by me!"

"No, I am the 'King of Variety Shows'!"

Hong Ye was inexplicably excited. After the "I Am a Singer" program ended, he immediately posted the news on his WeChat Moments that the ratings exceeded 10%.

In addition to relatives and friends, most of Hong Ye's circle of friends are practitioners in the entertainment industry. When they saw the news, the industry was immediately shocked. The relevant news was leaked as expected, on Weibo and TikTok. It was widely circulated on various social networking sites.

At the same time, Zhou Dingran's new song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" also topped the hot search lists on Weibo and Douyin at 12 o'clock in the morning due to its explosive ratings.

The next day, the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" became popular all over the country at an unstoppable speed. Countless people could hear the music of "Chrysanthemum Terrace" while walking on the streets. In People's Square and major shopping malls, "Chrysanthemum Terrace" was popular Loop.

Because of its rapid popularity, "Chrysanthemum Terrace" is called by many fans as the first of the new album's Chinese style trilogy, because in just one day, the song "Chrysanthemum Terrace" has received more than 20 comments in the comment section. Thousands of comments. Compared to other songs on the new album, this number of comments is frightening.

After all, the number of comments in the comment area of ​​the two songs "Fireworks Easily Cold" and "Hair Like Snow" has only exceeded 50,000.

After the new album became popular, Zhou Dingran did not rest. Because the movie "Young You" is being released, Zhou Dingran agreed to two road shows. He only ran one before, so today Zhou Dingran fulfilled his promise and took the team there Donghai Shopping Mall Cinema Line held a road show.

It is also because of the popularity of Zhou Dingran's new album that after "Young You" was released for a week, the box office, which was originally showing a slight decline, began to show an upward trend, with an increase of about 50%.

Also because of the excellent quality of the movie, the daily box office did not fall below 100 million during the screening period.

Therefore, although it has only been released for a week, the box office of the movie "You Are Young" has exceeded 1 billion. Compared with "Monty Python", which has the number one box office, it is only 100 million short.

Also because of its good performance, the ranking of "Young You" is getting higher and higher. From only 18% at the beginning, it has indeed risen to 25% now, which is exactly the same as the ranking of "Monty Python".

But in terms of attendance, "Better Days" is indeed more than 20% higher than "Monty Python". In some specialty theaters, the theaters are even more crowded. This is why "Better Days" is so popular. Although the movie has a low ticket price, its total box office is only million shy of special effects blockbusters like "Monty Python".

And because the box office trend of "Monty Python" has begun to decline, it can be expected that the drama "You Are Young" will achieve a counterattack at the box office in the future.

In fact, the box office of a movie with an investment of 120 million is almost the same as that of a movie with an investment of 400 million. This in itself speaks volumes.

As an investor in "Monty Python", Tianmang Media is now in a mess.

In addition to the box office performance of this drama not being as good as expected, what makes Tianmang even more uncomfortable is that just yesterday, his own stock price fell below 40 billion.

But this discomfort didn't last long, and even greater panic swept Tianmang completely.

Because this morning, when the stock market opened, Tianmang's stock price plummeted. In just one morning, Tianmang's stock price hit the daily limit, which shocked not only the entertainment industry, but also the entire stock market.

Although it is very common for the stock market to fall to the limit, Tianmang is one of the top giants in the entertainment industry after all. Although the stock price has fallen somewhat in the past, it is basically impossible to fall to the limit like it is today.

After all, the limit-down mechanism will be triggered only if the price limit falls by more than 10%.

In other words, in just one morning, Tianmang's market value of 40 billion evaporated by 4 billion in an instant!

And this momentum has no intention of stopping. Such huge fluctuations and declines have made many investors panic. Countless investors now only hate themselves for running too slowly.

This situation also directly confused Tianmang's board of directors, and immediately launched an emergency investigation.

Soon, related reasons emerged.

"Yesterday at two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Zemin sold more than 70% of the stocks in his hand. If time was not too tight, he might have cashed out all yesterday. Therefore, when the market opened this morning, he sold all the remaining 30% of the stocks. .”

"The boss behind Majin Film and Television? Zhang Zemin of VEIC Capital? This beast!"

"The stocks in Zhang Zemin's hands are original shares, worth 10 billion. He has been reducing his holdings of our stocks in the past two years. As of yesterday, the stocks in his hands were only about million, but I didn't expect him to be such a monkey. Urgent, yesterday alone, he robbed million yuan, and this morning, he was even more willing to kill a thousand enemies and lose yuan to himself, and chose to sell the remaining stocks at a low price."

"Yesterday's actions have already caused panic in the stock market. Today he sold off all the remaining stocks, which caused the public to follow suit..."

After hearing the reason for the investigation, all the directors and senior management of Tianmang's board of directors felt their hearts bleed.

However, Zhang Zemin's company, VEICHI Capital, is also a veteran financial giant in the industry. It was rich and powerful twenty years ago. It not only invested in giants such as Tianmang and Majen in the entertainment industry at that time, but also invested in other industries.

And Zhang Zemin's company, VEICHI Capital, now has hundreds of billions of cash flows, making it definitely a super giant in the financial world.

But it is obvious that this super giant crocodile is now very optimistic about Tianmang. He does not even say hello and directly chooses to cash out and leave.

However, the stock market still needs to be saved, and this trend of panic must be stopped. Otherwise, if this atmosphere continues, Tianmang Media will not be around for a long time.

So the board of directors quickly held a discussion and decided to use one billion in reserve funds to rescue the market.

The information is open and transparent. After all, it is a listed company, and the use of every fund must be clearly stated in every quarterly financial report.

At the same time, news began to be released to various trolls, claiming that Tianmang Media was preparing to buy back a large number of shares to stabilize the market.

So the next day, as soon as the stock market opened, Tianmang Media began to buy back as many stocks as there was. Almost all the one billion was consumed in just one morning, but it finally stopped. The downward trend was arrested and the stock price began to stabilize.

After these two days of fierce battle, Tianmang Media's total market value has stabilized at 37 billion yuan. In two days, the market value lost 3.4 billion, and one billion in cash flow was lost. This battle alone not only severely damaged Tianmang's vitality, but also made him frightened, and he began to conduct a detailed investigation of the internal reasons.

Equally frightened is Xiong Zhenghua, general manager of Tianmang Media.

Others didn't know it, but he knew clearly that the source of all this was probably related to the original choice to kick Zhou Dingran out of the Miracle Boys.

"One wrong step, every wrong step."

In the office, Xiong Zhonghua clenched his right hand and hit his back hard, his face looking extremely ugly.

Even he didn't expect that Zhou Dingran's current development would reach this point, with an album selling 300 million yuan in one day!

A movie with an investment of 100 million exceeded 1 billion within one week after its release!
What does this mean? This shows that this movie must sell at least 1.4 million yuan at the box office every day to achieve such results!
"Oh shit!"

Xiong Zhenghua cursed again. He couldn't bear it any longer. He called Huo Jingquan, the manager of the Miracle Boys, to come to his office. As soon as the other person came in, Xiong Zhenghua cursed. No matter how well-mannered he was, he was facing this scene now. I couldn't control my violent emotions anymore.

"Did you initiate the kicking out of Zhou Dingran?"

"You said at the beginning that Zhou Dingran can't do this or that. He's a pure waste. Is that what you said?"

"You said you could easily deal with Zhou Dingran so that he could no longer stand out in this circle. Is that what you said?"

……

Huo Jingquan was stunned by a series of suppressed angry questions.

He also knew that the company's stock price was not stable in the past two days, and he even followed the trend early this morning and secretly cashed out millions of the company's stocks. But he didn't expect that Mr. Xiong would blame all the sins on himself?

Are you kidding me? I initially raised the objection of kicking Zhou Dingran out, but wasn't that to make room for your eldest nephew Huang Boran? Everything I did was for your convenience, and now you are blaming me, right?

Huo Jingquan was angry in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud. He just said with an apologetic smile: "Mr. Xiong, everything is over. You also said that there is no need to mention these things again..."

"Don't mention it? How can you not mention it?"

Xiong Zhenghua scolded: "No one can withstand the impact of this turmoil on the company's stock. Now the board of directors wants me to give an explanation. What do you want me to give an explanation for?"

Huo Jingquan was about to say that you can just find someone to talk back to, but he heard Xiong Zhenghua continue: "The reason for the matter has been clearly investigated by the board of directors. On the surface, it seems that it has nothing to do with you and me. It was Zhang Zemin who cashed out and left. But Zhang Zemin Why did you cash out and leave? What’s the reason? Do you think the board of directors doesn’t know?”

"What's the reason?" Huo Jingquan actually had a guess in his mind, but he didn't want to believe the result.

Even though Zhou Dingran is now the king of the music industry and has even made impressive achievements in the film industry, Huo Jingquan still can't believe that the company's market value of more than 30 billion has been wiped out this time, and it has something to do with Zhou Dingran.

Why should he?
In the show "National Idol", he was a pure paddling player. Apart from a face and a docile personality, he basically knew nothing. As a singer and dancer, he could not finish singing and dancing. A song, even if you don't work hard, every time the team dances in unison, everyone will be half a beat behind.

Not to mention singing, with his pure white voice, not to mention the simplest vibrato, it is extremely difficult for him to sing a song in one breath without going out of tune.

There were even many times when he couldn't even find the right timing for a song in public, which only served to create more jokes. During the two years when the entire Miracle Boys were most prosperous, all the embarrassments and jokes they encountered were all contributed by Zhou Dingran!
In the entire Miracle Boys, Zhou Dingran is definitely the black sheep!
If it weren't for Zhou Dingran, it would have been possible for the Miracle Boys to release three or four albums a year, and their concerts and various program announcements would have been scheduled for a whole year. But with Zhou Dingran, everything was delayed by half a beat, and the efficiency was greatly reduced. Not to mention, the effect of the entire stage has also been reduced by 30 to 40%.

If Zhou Dingran didn't have a large number of fans and was one of the top three players in the entire Miracle Boys, the company would have kicked him out long ago.

Later, when the prince was about to take over, he thought about it and finally replaced Zhou Dingran. Wasn't this result agreed by all the senior officials?
How about putting all the blame on me now?

Huo Jingquan was indignant, but suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and he was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on his back.

Why are you telling me this, Mr. Xiong?
And you called me here alone?

He looked at Xiong Zhenghua blankly.

But they found that Xiong Zhenghua, who was furious just now, calmly picked up the water glass on the desk, took a sip, and then said loudly: "Jing Quan, the matter has reached this point, if we don't give the board of directors a satisfactory There is no way to end the matter."

Huo Jingquan felt as if he had fallen into an ice hole and looked at Xiong Zhenghua with disbelief: "Mr. Xiong, are you going to..."

Xiong Zhenghua put the water glass on the table and interrupted Huo Jingquan's speech.

Then he casually took out a document from the drawer and threw it on the table: "Here is your resignation letter..."

"Mr. Xiong!"

Huo Jingquan shouted, and for a moment he felt like the world was spinning and his breathing was a little short.

"In addition to the resignation letter, there is also a contract with Chinese Starlight. Chinese Starlight is also my property, but it has nothing to do with Tianmang. You can work there."

Xiong Zhenghua said softly.

Huo Jingquan's eyes were about to burst, and his heart was beating rapidly. Because of the huge emotional fluctuations, he even felt that the blood vessels in the back of his head were about to burst.

He knows exactly what kind of company Chinese Starlight is!

It is purely a handbag company, a straw bag company registered privately by Xiong Zhenghua. It was established solely for the purpose of doing left-handed business under Tianmang's nose...

What's the difference between this and the border issue? (End of chapter)
