Chapter 571 Mysterious Guest
Zofia stood up, walked to Nina and Du Sheng, and said with a smile:
"Ms. Tasler, congratulations on winning this victory.

Could you please let me know the final price so I can report it to my boss? "

Nina suppressed the joy in her heart, loosened her arms, and looked at Du Sheng inquiringly.

Speaking of which, she was indeed optimistic about this show, and the price was not over the budget.

As long as you can achieve results, everything is worth it.

Du Sheng saw that the other representatives were all looking over. After thinking for a while, he felt that this was a good opportunity to show his strength and enhance his reputation, so he nodded in agreement:
"Ms. Tasler, it's up to you whether to make it public or not."

For a moment, many eyes fell on Nina.

Everyone wants to hear how much this woman paid.

Nina Tassler gracefully raised her right hand, raised two index fingers, and clearly announced:
"$2000 million!"

There was a burst of exclamations and discussions in the room:

"Oh my God, nearly 1.5 million RMB!"

"Unbelievable!"

"Is there really anyone willing to spend $2000 million to buy the rights to a TV show?"

"I'm afraid this will break the record for variety show copyright fees in the Lighthouse Country!"

"Is CBS crazy? Do they really think they can make their money back?!"

Nina felt everyone's astonished gazes and felt a sense of accomplishment.

Zofia was also stunned for a moment, and then she sighed:

“I have to say, CBS is really wealthy.

I wish you all the best, Miss Tassler!"

After saying that, she asked her colleagues to leave.

Faced with such a high offer, she really had nothing to say.

Du Sheng raised his eyebrows and glanced at her, and Nina immediately understood what he meant.

CBS traveled thousands of miles and spent a lot of money and effort to purchase the copyright of "Voice of the East", so it must have promoted it extensively.

This unprecedented number is itself an excellent publicity point.

After most of the others had left, Nina smiled and confessed to Du Sheng:
"Next, please continue to provide convenience and promotion to President Du and Star Media."

Du Sheng and Ye Jingzhi looked at each other and understood more clearly.

The other party not only wants support in program production, but also cooperation in publicity and promotion.

For example, the 2000 million US dollars just announced.

Thinking of the word 1.5 million, Du Sheng smiled and nodded.

Although the auction has been completed, subsequent cooperation, recording, payment and other aspects still need further discussion.

For example, in terms of funds, the other party will not be stupid enough to pay the full amount directly.

Interstellar Media needs to strive for the best price and try to get it done in one go.

But overall, this copyright dispute has come to an end.

Du Sheng no longer needs to worry about it and can shift his focus to other aspects.

.........

Time has unknowingly come to June.

As expected, one month after the release of "Initial D", the box office in mainland China exceeded 8 million.

At present, because "The Promise" and "The Myth" have not been released yet, it has unexpectedly taken the top spot on the annual list.

In addition, the Asian box office is expected to reach 2 million.

Among them, Neon contributed the largest share, up to 14 billion Neon coins!

Star Media, Huanya and Yinghuang, the three major investors, held a lively celebration party for this.

After Du Sheng attended the event, Liu Yifei pulled him to attend the new product launch of "Times Skin Care" the next day.

Afterwards, I went to the Music Library Association again and finally completed all the procedures.

He thought he could take a break, but was caught by Liu Tao who was taking a break from his busy schedule.

At this moment, she was meeting with Fan Bingbing, who was shooting a spokesperson's film in Hangzhou, and preparing to work on her career.

I learned that the man was here, so I made an appointment to come over.

Du Sheng already knew what they were doing, and Xiaoxiao didn't refuse.

That night, the three of them came to a mass-market KTV called "Chao Lifan" next to the West Lake as a gathering point.

This mass-market KTV covers an area of ​​about 2000 square meters and is equipped with top-notch audio, lighting and visual equipment, providing customers with the ultimate entertainment experience.

When Du Sheng stepped into this KTV, the first thing that caught his eye was an oval stage opposite the dance floor.

There is a huge retractable screen behind the stage, and a DJ is playing rock music in the corner.

The young people on the dance floor were swaying to the rhythm, having a lot of fun.

The bar and private room areas are also crowded with guests enjoying the nightlife.

Although it is still early, the atmosphere here is already very warm.

And you can notice that there are many foreign faces among them.

"Let's go to the VIP area on the second floor to rest first, and then come down when we want to sing karaoke and dance."

Fan Bingbing suggested.

Du Sheng nodded indifferently and followed him upstairs.

"It seems like you put a lot of effort into this."

He said as he looked at the surrounding decorations.

Recently, Fan Bingbing has reduced her acting endorsements and has changed her mind a little.

In addition to listening to Du Sheng's advice to purchase several properties, he also cooperated with Liu Tao and Yang Siwei to jointly invest in this mass-market KTV.

For celebrities, investing in entertainment venues is a common choice.

In this day and age, mass-market KTVs have begun to replace the old discos and karaoke bars and have become very popular.

Many artists have also tried their hand at similar entertainment industries.

For example, Wang Fei's VIP room, Wang Xuebin's Night Bar, Ren Quan's restaurant chain, etc. are all successful examples.

These venues not only serve as an extension of the artist’s brand, but also bring more business opportunities to the entertainment industry.

The reason for investing in this industry is not only because celebrities themselves often visit these places, but also because these places are where young people gather and star-chasers are active, so they have strong appeal and popularity effects.

Liu Tao was fiddling with some desserts at the booth and responded with a smile:

"Bingbing and I each invested 200 million yuan, plus the image endorsement fees of both parties, we accounted for 80% of the shares.

Yang Siwei invested 100 million and was responsible for team operations, holding the remaining 20% ​​of the shares.

If you hadn't told us before that real estate would appreciate in value, we might not have been so bold in making this investment.

But since I have already bought a few houses, which are enough to guarantee my quality of life, I decided to try out the KTV business.”

Fan Bingbing smiled and joked:
"Sister Tao sees this investment as her future retirement fund. She said you have too many women and it's unknown whether you can be together in the future.

Now, while we are still able to rely on someone powerful, why not maximize our value?"

Liu Tao rolled his eyes at Fan Bingbing and said angrily:
"Bingbing, that was just a joke, don't take it seriously, you are slandering me!"

"You said that when you were drunk that night. I have the full video."

Fan Bingbing blinked and smiled.

Liu Tao: “…”

Seeing Du Sheng's calm demeanor, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly changed the subject:
"You haven't eaten yet, come and have some fruit first."

The three of them came to the semi-circular booth, from where they could clearly see the lively scene below.

And it's facing the stage, so you can clearly see any performance.

The waiter came forward tactfully and Du Sheng ordered a cup of tea.

Liu Tao and Fan Bingbing chose wine with a lower concentration and ordered some snacks.

Before the wine came, Yang Siwei, who was in charge of management, came over and looked at Du Sheng happily:

"Brother Sheng, I didn't expect Sister Bingbing to invite you to come and show her support. Our wholesale store is going to be very popular!"

"Haha, I just took advantage of some free time to join in the fun."

Du Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Whether your business can be popular or not depends on your management. Celebrities can only bring temporary traffic."

Yang Siwei's main job is the director of the public opinion department of Star Media, but he also does some additional side jobs.

For example, being a water army, hype, diversion, Internet cafes, etc.

He is the type who is very good at dealing with things.

In her previous life, after she left Fan Bingbing, in addition to founding an agency, she also got involved in live streaming, women's clothing brands and other industries. Her abilities are indeed quite impressive.

"Brother Sheng, your appeal is extraordinary, not to mention that Sister Bingbing and Sister Tao have joined us. As long as you run the business sincerely and well, I believe you should be able to have a place."

After chatting for a while, Yang Siwei left tactfully.

Du Sheng had no interest in joining in the fun. He just leisurely drank wine, ate snacks, and chatted with the two girls about their recent life, which was considered as enjoying life.

Time passed quietly, and at about eight o'clock in the evening, the DJ suddenly raised the volume and started shouting:
“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special guest performer tonight!
Please welcome her with your enthusiasm..."

The guests responded very actively, applauding and cheering, pushing the atmosphere to a new climax.

"The first to appear is the talented singer Jane Zhang who stood out in the "Voice of the East", entered the top three, and was signed by Miracle Records!"

Du Sheng was a little surprised when he saw Jane Zhang walking onto the stage with a smile.

I didn't expect that we could meet again. According to the relationship between the two, this person is still nominally his student.

Fan Bingbing noticed that Du Sheng's eyes fell on Zhang Liangying, and explained with a smile:

“The company is training them and trying to get them endorsements.

We paid for the invitation this time, it’s not free, it’s a good publicity for both parties.”

Since returning from filming "Flash Point", Fan Bingbing has been learning about and becoming familiar with the business of mass-market KTVs.

The reason why she invited the company's artists to support the event was based on her communication with Yang Siwei.

Du Sheng smiled and nodded:

"Your ideas are pretty good, and we have achieved mutual success."

The "Chaoliufan" mass-market KTV has a good grade. If it is managed properly, it is not impossible to open branches across the country in the future.

As a newcomer, Jane Zhang does need resource support.

Instead of choosing those messy ones, it is better to choose those that you know well and there are not so many restrictions.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

This time we hit it off right away.

Zhang Jingying's EP album is being prepared, and she chose "If This Is Love" provided by Du Sheng as the title song. There is no famous work yet.

So the first song she sang on stage was "Fairy Tale Town" by Patricia Chow.

Then she sang Girls' Generation's "Invisible Wings".

Du Sheng smiled and said:

"This is the program list that Yang Siwei arranged, all of them are songs from our company. Remember to pay the licensing fee."

Liu Tao and Fan Bingbing looked at each other and said with a smile:

"I don't have any money, but you can take care of the rest."

Du Sheng chuckled and said, of course they have their own way of "repaying".

There is a saying that goes, “The monk can run away, but the temple cannot.”

How could Fan Bingbing not see Du Sheng's reaction? She deliberately leaned over and whispered in his ear:
"Be our secret guest tonight. There might be a surprise in the evening."

Du Sheng waved his hand and became serious, which was unusual for him:
"It doesn't matter if there's a surprise or not. After all, this is your first investment cooperation, so I have to show my support."

In fact, Du Sheng had made preparations before coming.

After all, this mass-market KTV was invested by Liu Tao and Fan Bingbing, so he had to express his appreciation.

Being a mystery guest is also a way to maximize benefits.

Du Sheng thought for a moment and said:

"I'll just sing "The Rest of My Life".

Come to think of it, this song was inspired by you in the past, so it is appropriate to sing it in this kind of occasion now."

His words were gentle and sincere, which moved Fan Bingbing so much that she hugged Du Sheng excitedly and kissed him.

This scene made Liu Tao standing next to him feel both amused and helpless.

However, she also knew that she was not as good as Fan Bingbing in every aspect, and that only by cooperating well with each other could they last long.

In order to prevent the situation from becoming too outrageous, Liu Tao interrupted at the right time:
"Okay, Bingbing, this is a public place, you have to be careful about the impact.

You can talk about those 'surprises' you gave Ah Sheng when you get home tonight. Now it's time for Ah Sheng to make his debut."

Only then did Fan Bingbing let go of Du Sheng with a charming smile on her face.

When Du Sheng stood up, he kissed Liu Tao on the forehead, then looked at Fan Bingbing and said:
“Here are some guitars, give me one.

In addition, let Yang Siwei's public opinion department mobilize and find two people to cooperate.

It’s best to shoot from a paparazzi angle, with some blurry shots and clear close-ups, so the audience can use their imagination.”

Fan Bingbing understood and immediately took action happily.

After hearing this, Yang Siwei was very excited and immediately started to arrange everything.

This is to take advantage of the general trend!

It seems that the 'fashion style' has to be popular.

About ten minutes later, Jane Zhang's performance came to an end.

Amid the thunderous applause from the audience, the DJ also seemed extremely excited:
"Ladies and gentlemen! You are so lucky tonight. You actually met a mysterious guest!
Let us hold our breath and watch carefully.

Next, please welcome Ms. Fan Bingbing and Ms. Liu Tao——"

Many customers thought that Fan Bingbing and Liu Tao would appear in person next, and they exclaimed and cheered in anticipation.

However, DJ changed the subject and added the ending word "friends".

Some impatient customers booed in disappointment upon hearing this.

But before they could finish their words, their eyes widened.

All eyes were focused on the stage entrance.

DJ took a deep breath and shouted out the name that shocked everyone:
"Let's give a warm welcome, Mr. Du Sheng!!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene became boiling with excitement.

The customers stood up in surprise, their voices filled with surprise and expectation:
"Oh my god, no way, the DJ just mentioned Du Sheng?"

“Yes, we heard it right.

Considering the rumors between Du Sheng, Liu Tao, and Fan Bingbing, this is entirely possible!"

"Look over there on the stage, it really seems to be him!"

"Wow, we are so lucky today. We came to KTV to have fun and we can actually see Du Sheng's live performance?"

The whole place suddenly became extremely noisy.

The main reason is that Du Sheng is so popular now that he rarely participates in such occasions in public.

When the concert was held, many people couldn't get tickets even though they paid high prices.

There was a chance to get something for free on the spot, so the customers were very excited.

Even Zhang Jingying, who had just returned to the backstage, had her eyes light up and returned to the front desk to join in the fun.

When the stage lights came on and Du Sheng appeared in front of the stage with a guitar on his back, the audience erupted in thunderous applause and screams.

Especially the excited voices of the girls, which almost blew the ceiling off.

The entire KTV seemed to be on fire and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Yang Siwei, who was standing next to Fan Bingbing and Liu Tao, looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh:
"Brother Sheng's popularity right now is simply unique. Compared to him, the two of you seem to be just a bystander."

Liu Tao and Fan Bingbing shrugged, then looked at the man on the stage with deep satisfaction.

This is their man, is there any need to compare?!

Tonight, Du Sheng was wearing a simple light-colored T-shirt and casual trousers, but under the light, he was still handsome and attracted countless eyes.

He was not in a hurry to start singing, but waited until the scene calmed down a little before saying:

“Thank you for your love. I am here today as a friend to support you and sing a song for you.

I sang this song once at a concert in Modo, but it was not performed here, which many people found regretful.

In this case, it would be better to do it today than to wait for another day.

I give "The Rest of My Life" to everyone, and I hope you will like it. "

After saying that, Du Sheng gently plucked the guitar strings, and a melody full of warmth and romance slowly flowed out.

At this moment, everyone fell silent and slowly immersed themselves in it.

This is Du Sheng's appeal, his ability to control the entire rhythm of the scene.

"...

For the rest of his life,
The snow and wind are you,

Ordinary is you,

Poverty is also you,
Ronghua is you,

You are the one who is gentle at heart..."

The song "The Rest of My Life" touches everyone's heartstrings with its soothing and beautiful melody and warm lyrics.

The consumption level here is not low, and many of the guests are Hangzhou's elite who can deeply understand the emotions behind this song.

Du Sheng's warm and slightly hoarse voice echoed in the hall.

Some people silently raised their glasses and took a sip, some swayed their bodies gently to the rhythm of the chorus, and some even sang along in a low voice.

Whether it is sentimental or healing, love or nostalgia, everyone can find their own shadow in this song.

There is a reason why this song has dominated the top 100 song charts of Kuaishou and Tik Tok in the past.

Du Sheng also has the "Singing Skills Level 3/Blue" blessing, and the on-site feedback was very good.

Many people were immersed in the atmosphere of the song.

So much so that when he quietly left the stage, the audience had not yet fully reacted.

In order to avoid being surrounded by fans, Du Sheng took Liu Tao and Fan Bingbing and quietly left through the other side after the performance.

The mission of being the mystery guests tonight has been completed, and the two girls are obviously very satisfied.

Even after Liu Tao got in the car, he was still talking excitedly.

Judging from the popularity tonight, my first investment is secure!
Although Fan Bingbing was also very happy, she was very clear about the man's ability, so she remained calm.

For Du Sheng, the two girls' excited state was undoubtedly the most perfect moment.

You have to cheer up and enjoy yourself tonight.
