Chapter 281 Happiness comes too suddenly

"Hey, Old Ji, what are you doing now?"

"Looking after your daughter at home? What's wrong? How come Mr. Li has the time to come to see me? It seems that there is nothing important in our music department that needs Mr. Li's approval recently?"

In the large villa, in the living room with a height of nearly 5 meters, Ji Qiu was talking on the phone while watching his daughter playing with building blocks in the toy area. Occasionally, he turned his head to look at the drizzle outside the window, and was talking on the phone with Mr. Li quite comfortably.

Mr. Li, whose full name is Li Zongnan, is a member of the board of directors of Yehua Entertainment and one of the heads of the film and television department and the music department of Yehua Entertainment.

According to the difference in their identities, Ji Qiu should have been respectful when facing Li Zongnan, after all, Li Zongnan was his superior.

It was just that because of some things that happened between Fenghuang Yufei and Xinghe Girl before, they both became quite unhappy.

Li Zongnan called at this moment, and it must be because he encountered some problems with Fenghuang Yufei.

Because he was the one who reviewed the Fenghuang Yufei concert, but it had never passed.

Ji Qiu listened to what Li Zongnan said over the phone with a playful smile on his face.

"Old Ji, it's like this..."

"I know I was at fault for what happened at the concert, but I can't bring myself to apologize to Fenghuang Yufei. I'm already old, so what's the point of apologizing to two young people? Just help me convey my apology."

Li Zongnan is not a stubborn person, and he is also somewhat forced by the situation.

Who made Fenghuang Yufei really win the championship of "The Voice of China 2024"?

Taking advantage of the current popularity, the concert must be held, otherwise it will be a huge loss for both Fenghuang Yufei and Yehua Entertainment.

But how could Li Zongnan's concert of Fenghuang Yufei be held whenever he wants and not held whenever he wants?

When he was thinking about postponing the concert, he probably didn't consider the feelings of Fenghuang Yufei and Ji Qiu.

So Ji Qiu's response to Li Zongnan's words was just vague:
"Mr. Li, you also know that Fenghuang Yufei just won the championship of "The Voice of China 2024". Bai Xingjian, Feng Shiqi and their team are probably all having fun. It's hard for me to contact them. How about I tell you after I contact them?"

"Okay, then please contact me as soon as possible. After all, time waits for no one."

Hearing this, Ji Qiu almost laughed out loud.

Time waits for no one?

Have you ever waited for someone before?
At this point, there was actually nothing else to say, and Ji Qiu was about to hang up the phone, but Li Zongnan suddenly said lightly:
"Hasn't our Film and Television Department recently scheduled the release of a movie? It's just that the theme song hasn't been decided yet, so the release date is hard to determine. Also, there's been some issues with the selection of the theme song for this movie."

After hearing this, Ji Qiu suddenly became interested: "Mr. Li, are you talking about the movie "The Qin Dynasty"? "

Although Ji Qiu is only the artist director of Yehua Entertainment's music department, they still share some information about the company's film and television department.

So he also knew about the movie "The Great Qin Dynasty". This movie is considered to be the movie with the largest investment by Yehua Entertainment in the film industry in recent years, with a total production cost of nearly 300 million yuan.

But it has nothing to do with their music department, because all the soundtracks of this movie are made according to the highest standards required by the producer, and the music department of Yehua Entertainment cannot meet this requirement.

So even though "The Great Qin Dynasty" was a popular commodity, Ji Qiu and his music department didn't get a piece of the pie.

Now, from what Li Zongnan said, does it mean that his music department can get a share of the pie?

"Yes, it is The Great Qin Dynasty."

Li Zongnan's tone was very affirmative. Feeling Ji Qiu's excitement, the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child!

After getting Li Zongnan's confirmation, Ji Qiu became even more excited. "Mr. Li, if I remember correctly, the amount for the theme song of "The Qin Dynasty" is 10 million, right? With such a generous hand, the songs written by those professionals you hired are not to your liking?"

From what Li Zongnan said, he is planning to give the list of the theme song of "The Great Qin Dynasty" to their music department?

Or to be more precise, should it be left to Bai Xingjian to do?

It’s a huge order of 10 million!

If he wasn't on the phone right now, Ji Qiu would have definitely started smacking his lips.

Li Zongnan's answer was exactly what he expected: "You also know how much we are invested in this movie. We have to do our best in everything, let alone the theme song."

Li Zongnan sighed and continued, "It's not that our requirements are too high, but the songs written by those people really don't capture the charm of our "The Qin Dynasty", so we decided to change our thinking and give this important task to Bai Xingjian to give it a try."

"What do you think of this?"

What do I think?
Then I definitely think it’s very good!
Ji Qiu was already feeling a little overjoyed at this moment. He smiled and said:

"This is definitely a very good choice. After all, Bai Xingjian's strength is obvious to all. Moreover, he and Feng Shiqi have won the title of "The Voice of China 2024". Their desire to create is absolutely overwhelming. Just give this task to him and you can rest assured."

"Then Old Ji, when do you plan to contact Bai Xingjian?" Li Zongnan stated his ultimate goal with a smile.

This time it was Ji Qiu's turn to be embarrassed.

It's just about making money. You can't give up money for the sake of dignity, right?

Ji Qiu replied with a smile: "Mr. Li, I will contact you right away and try to get Bai Xingjian to write the theme song for you as soon as possible."

"There's no rush for the theme song. We still have plenty of time so Bai Xingjian can take his time."

Li Zongnan smiled and said, "Concert..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Qiu took over: "I will also try to discuss it with Bai Xingjian and the others. After all, it is indeed the best choice to hold this concert as soon as possible."

"Then I'll trouble you, Old Ji. Don't worry this time. Phoenix Yufei's concert will definitely be given the green light. We can discuss any venue they want."

Li Zongnan also replied very politely.

The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up the phone.

Ji Qiu threw his phone onto the sofa and clenched his fists.

“It really feels great to get a multi-million dollar order!”

Ji Qiu sighed and suddenly felt that the drizzle outside the window was comfortable.

"It's really the spirit of a man who is in a good mood!"

"But how should I explain this to Bai Xingjian and the others?"

Ji Qiu fell into deep thought, but he didn't think for long. After hearing his daughter's cry, he made a decision.

Just leave this mess to Zheng Wei!

……

A coastal city.

In an iconic radio and television station building.

"Sister He, Fenghuang Yufei is interested in coming to our show, but their announcement fee has increased."

In a room near the top floor, a young woman dressed as a secretary was reporting the situation to the middle-aged woman at the desk. "Oh? How much has it increased?"

The middle-aged woman stopped what she was doing, looked up at the young woman, and said with a smile: "If the increase is not too much, it can be accepted. After all, they won the title of singing champion."

The young woman blinked and then said a number: "They have raised the announcement fee to 2.6 million per issue."

"What did you say?"

The woman at the desk felt like she had heard it wrong and asked another question in disbelief.

"Two million six hundred thousand. Phoenix Yufei's announcement fee has risen to two million six hundred thousand."

"I think they are crazy!"

After confirming that she had heard correctly, the middle-aged woman's face instantly fell, "The price given before was 2024 million per episode, and now that he has won the title of the singing king of "The Voice of China ", he directly raised the price to million?"

"This group is crazy about money! Do they really think the singing champion of "The Voice of China 2024" is so valuable? It's just the people from Mango TV entertaining themselves. Fenghuang Yufei really takes himself seriously!"

The middle-aged woman spoke angrily. She was the director of Hehai City TV Station and her name was He Xia.

Originally, their station had a talk show that was going to invite Fenghuang Yufei to be a guest, and the budget of two million had already been allocated, but Fenghuang Yufei suddenly raised the price?

It would be fine if the price just went up, but it went up by one million and one hundred thousand?

If this isn't because he's been carried away by the title of King of Singers of "The Voice of China 2024", then what is?
Can winning a crappy show really increase an artist's net worth by millions?

He Xia sat in the office chair, breathing heavily, obviously she had not recovered yet.

The young woman next to her had completely different ideas.

The 1.5 million yuan announcement fee that Fenghuang Yufei paid before was a real bargain. Considering the identities and traffic of Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi, this price was absolutely super value and extremely worthwhile.

Even though the price has increased to 1.1 million and now stands at 2.6 million per issue, this price is still very cost-effective.

The reason is simple: Fenghuang Yufei's current traffic and influence are even higher than the top ones.

If you still look at this group with the same perspective as before, you naturally won’t be able to see through this point, and He Xia just didn’t see through it.

If she saw through this, then the effect of their Hehaitai talk show, which relied on the influence of Fenghuang Yufei, on improving the program would be simply insignificant compared to the 2.6 million.

But thinking that He Xia was still a rather stingy miser, the young woman lost the desire to explain, so she echoed her and then asked:
"Then Sister He, should we just withdraw our invitation to Fenghuang Yufei?"

"Retreat! Why stay here if you don't retreat? Two million and six hundred thousand people have come. They are dreaming!"

He Xia spoke angrily and did not give the secretary beside her a good look.

This situation occurred not only at Hehai TV Station, but also in many other places.

Some people gave up on Fenghuang Yufei because of its price increase, while others insisted on choosing Fenghuang Yufei.

However, it is still unknown whether Fenghuang Yufei will choose those programs that insist on choosing them.

……

"Hello? Mom?"

"Thank you for your congratulations!"

"I haven't had much to do lately, so I'll bring Jian back with me."

"Okay, okay, okay..."

In a luxurious hotel in Linjiang City, Feng Shiqi was standing on the balcony, talking on the phone with Feng's mother.

She looked back from time to time, only because Bai Xingjian and Zheng Wei were discussing some follow-up arrangements for their Fenghuang Yufei at the dining table.

"Ah? We can hold concerts again? Isn't this situation changing too fast?"

Bai Xingjian said with a rather strange expression.

After listening to what Zheng Wei said, he just wanted to laugh.

"Who made you and Shiqi win the title of Best Singer of 'The Voice of China 2024'? Once you won the title, some people in our company will be unable to sit still." Zheng Wei said with a smile.

Bai Xingjian smiled and said, "It's just that it's a bit tiring to hold a concert right now. And Sister Wei, you know that Sister Qi and I have been practicing those two songs recently and our voices are almost exhausted. So let's take a break before talking about the concert."

Concerts are a great thing for fans, but for the singers themselves who abide by professional ethics, it is a very physically demanding job.

A concert usually lasts between two hours or two and a half hours. Don’t think that this length is short. During this time, if the singer does not slack off, he or she will probably sing thirty to forty songs.

In today's Chinese music scene, there are only a handful of singers who can sing this number of songs in their entirety in a concert.

This shows how difficult it is.

"Yehua Entertainment does not have the authority to force you, so the concert will be carried out according to what you and Shiqi want."

Zheng Wei smiled and said, "Even if you want to take a break for half a month before holding the concert, that's fine. I wonder if there are any blind people in Yehua Entertainment who dare to offend us."

After these words were spoken, both of them couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"And if we are really in a hurry to make money, there are several brands here who are ready to ask us to be their spokesperson."

Zheng Wei handed the tablet in his hand to Bai Xingjian, which displayed some detailed information about these brands.

There are app software, cosmetics brands, skin care brands, shoe brands and clothing brands, etc.

The only thing that surprised Bai Xingjian was that in addition to these common brands, their Fenghuang Yufei already had luxury goods coming to them.

Loewe, although this brand is not considered the top luxury brand among international luxury goods, it can also be considered high-end luxury.

Moreover, the endorsement fee offered by this brand is not low. Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi jointly endorse the brand as the Fenghuang Yufei combination, and the endorsement fee for two years is 3000 million.

After seeing these contents, Bai Xingjian raised his head and looked towards the balcony.

Then he looked at Feng Shiqi.

The two people's eyes met and then separated. Bai Xingjian laughed out loud, turned to look at Zheng Wei and asked:

"Sister Wei, is the endorsement fee given by the brand Loewe genuine? There won't be any twists and turns in it, right?"

Thirty million yuan in endorsement fees...

Happiness came so suddenly that Bai Xingjian couldn't believe his own judgment.

After all, he didn't know much about these brands, he just often listened to Zheng Wei, Mei Jie and Feng Shiqi discussing them.

"Of course it's authentic! You and Shiqi had several sets of clothes before, which were high-end ready-to-wear clothes from Loewe."

Zheng Wei explained to Bai Xingjian with a smile.
