The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 90: Ideas for an International Music Exchange
What Xiao Ma Ge and his friends are worried about now is that they can still give up up to 8% of their shares.

If we calculate based on Zhang Chen's 260% stake worth US$40 million, it would be worth US$52, equivalent to about RMB 400 million.

Is this price enough for Zhang Chen’s endorsement fee?

What Zhang Chen needs to consider is what will be the consequences of holding too high a stake in a company with a future market value of over one trillion yuan?
In terms of benefits, the higher the shareholding, the better, but sometimes other factors must be considered.

Both sides had different thoughts and fell into silence.

"I can agree to this, but I want a portion of the shares."

Finally, it was Zhang Chen who broke the silence.

Now that he is very conspicuous, there are two paths before him:
1. Keep a low profile and give up your interests at the right time.

2. Be more high-profile, so high-profile that no one can ignore him.

The former is safer, while the latter requires a good sense of proportion and must not leave any opportunity for potential opponents to attack.

Zhang Chen chose the latter. What’s the point of living a new life living in fear?
As long as he doesn't commit any crime and has a loyal heart, given his fame, who would dare to touch him openly?
So he re-signed a contract with the Penguins.

Zhang Chen spent a total of US$300 million in exchange for a 45% stake in Penguin.

At the same time, he also needs to cooperate with QQ's promotion, and the specific promotion method still needs to be negotiated by the two teams.

After resolving the cooperation issues, Zhang Chen finally put his mind at ease.

In the near future, he will have the power to influence the domestic entertainment industry.

After having a meal with Xiao Ma Ge and the others to get in touch with them, Zhang Chen hurried back to the capital.

While Zhang Chen was busy with the album, big news also came out in Hong Kong Island.

So much so that Cheng Long said the words that dragged down all men in the world: "I just made a mistake that many men in the world would make."

At the same time, under pressure, he returned to Hong Kong Island and admitted the matter.

The most important thing for our country is that on the 15th of this month, we and the United States signed a bilateral agreement on our accession to the World Trade Organization in the capital.

This means that the market of this land is about to connect with the world.

It also means that the domestic entertainment industry will face opportunities and challenges.

"Chenchen, the organizing committee of the Spring Festival Gala has started to ask about the progress of your new song preparations."

This is why Zhang Chen hurried back.

As one of the country's leading singers, he is also the face of the mainland.

Zhang Chen performed high-quality songs for the first time at both Spring Festival Galas.

Therefore, after the director team of this year's Spring Festival Gala was formed, in addition to confirming with the King of Sketches whether he would participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala as soon as possible, they also contacted the singer Zhang Chen.

He wanted to refuse, as he had been too busy lately.

In addition to producing the Chinese album, the English album has reached the final recording stage.

He already regrets working on the annual Chinese and English double albums.

After this year, I will have to reduce my work intensity and take a good rest for two years.

"I asked Yadong to arrange the music a few days ago, and it should be ready for recording."

Regardless of whether he sang live on the Spring Festival Gala or not, the song had to be submitted to the Spring Festival Gala director team for review. This was a necessary procedure. Time passed quickly. When Zhang Chen was preparing for the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, Zhou Jianhui rushed to Zhang Chen's residence.

"Zhang Chen, what about next year's concert?" The first thing Zhou Jianhui asked about Zhang Chen when he saw him was the concert next year.

Zhang Chen actually wanted to refuse because he was not sure when his voice change would come. According to his memory, it should be around the middle of the year, but if it was earlier, it would definitely affect the progress of the concert.

"Mr. Zhou, how about we postpone the concert to two years later?" Zhang Chen suggested after thinking about it.

"Two years later? You're going to kill me!" For Zhou Jianhui, Zhang Chen is the key to his success in the company and also his current foundation in the company.

According to the contract, Zhang Chen's contract with Warner will expire in two years. Who knows whether Zhang Chen will renew his contract with Warner at that time.

"I have been preparing concerts to appease your European and American fans. If they knew that the concert was postponed to two years later, who knows what kind of trouble they would cause."

Zhou Jianhui had stood up his foreign fans before, and he suppressed the matter under tremendous pressure. Finally, he had no choice but to reveal the details of the planned concert. If he stood them up again this time, he would have broken his promise twice.

Zhang Chen did not expect that his willfulness would lead to such a passive situation.

But can he give up the European and American markets?
Whether it is for making money or for his goals, he cannot give up.

When he first started venturing into the European and American music scene, he had already decided that he needed to leverage the power of the European and American music scene to boost the power of the Chinese music scene.

If the current trajectory continues, Chinese pop singers will almost forget their own unique skills.

In the end, it was the incident of "a 50-year-old woman guarding the country's border" that completely tore off the fig leaf of many singers in the Chinese music scene who were active in the public eye.

Of course, netizens are just playing around with memes, and the program crew also needs topics.

Hype is a common tactic used in variety shows.

But if a singer is really afraid of "live broadcast", "real singing" and "no audio editing", which are the most basic qualities for a singer.

Don’t let a good international music exchange turn into a scene that arouses the national self-esteem of domestic audiences.

Of course, there are also objective factors involved.

There is a difference between the singing styles in Europe and America and those in mainland China. From an intuitive point of view, singing European and American songs makes people feel smooth and solid.

But when singing Chinese songs, I feel like I am running out of breath. It is actually difficult to use the same criteria to judge the singing skills of two singers for Chinese and English songs.

Because English songs can be read in succession, can be omitted, and the beginning of words can be swallowed.

The characteristics of Chinese are level and oblique tones, four tones, initials and finals, etc.

Comparing the two, singing Chinese songs well requires more difficulties than singing English songs.

If a singer can sing English songs, as long as he finds a vocal position, he can continue singing in this position.

Is there a similar way to sing Chinese songs? Actually, yes, you can also sing with a big European and American voice, but the emotions that the song wants to express will be lost.

This is also the reason why some singers are criticized for singing without emotion and only knowing how to show off their skills.

Therefore, it is difficult for Chinese songs to be sung with a large voice like English songs, making them sound powerful and penetrating.

Of course, this is a difference in popular singing styles. If we use our folk song singing style, it is not inferior to these foreign popular singing styles.
