Chapter 281 Aunt’s Pleading
Lin Zhibai has always asked Jiang Cheng to keep an eye on the second uncle's family. Lin Xia has two silly sons, the Hubao brothers, and a good daughter like Lin Feng.
The tiger and leopard brothers are nothing to worry about.
Lin Hu’s Shinhwa Live Broadcasting Project has been basically scrapped, and he can’t compete with Liyu Live Broadcasting, a company in which Kunpeng holds shares;
Lin Bao went to work on comics, and it was said that he did quite well without any problems. However, Lin Zhibai seemed to be just like that, so he was too lazy to talk to him for the time being, and just let him mess around for now.
There is only one Lin Feng left in the second uncle's family, and Lin Zhibai has not taken care of it yet.
Now the opportunity has come. Lin Feng actually wants to do a variety show. Isn’t this a direct blow to Lin Zhibai’s gun?
Lin Zhibai was not polite and directly took out "The Voice" with his backhand.
Because the positioning of this program is very close to Lin Feng's "Master and Apprentice".
By then, Lin Zhibai might be able to grab the entire audience base of the other party’s variety show!
What should we do if we can’t compete?
This possibility is almost non-existent, because Lin Zhibai’s new variety show "The Voice" is a phenomenal variety show in its previous life!
Although there has been little popularity after running for many seasons, the first season was definitely explosively popular. At its peak, it directly surpassed all music programs. It can be called a milestone in the music talent variety show!
Whoever touches him will die!
The only difficulty with this is:
This time Lin Zhibai wants Kunpeng to independently produce this variety show.
Of course it is not completely independent. This matter requires three major forces.
Because Lin Zhibai needs four suitable mentor candidates.
As far as the program "The Voice" is concerned, the mentor's performance is also a huge highlight!
If you want "The Voice" to be as big a hit as its predecessor, or even surpass it, the lineup of mentors must be strong!
Lin Zhibai’s first reaction was to find the king of singers and the queen of songs to serve as a mentor, and soon the name "Zhang Xiyang" appeared in his mind.
Zhang Xiyang must be invited!
Isn’t this the ready-made King of Singers!
Anyway, "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" is coming to an end recently.
It is not a big problem to let Zhang Xiyang directly join the "The Voice" program team, at least there should be no problem in terms of schedule.
Kunpeng invited Zhang Xiyang out of nowhere, and given his personality, he would most likely refuse unless Bai Di spoke up.
Then we can only do one play.
Lin Zhibai asked Jiangcheng to represent Kunpeng and go to Shinhwa Entertainment to invite Bai Di to be the director of "The Voice"!
With this name, it makes sense for Bai Di to join "The Voice".
It is only natural that Bai Di joins the "The Voice" column team and then brings Zhang Xiyang in.
As for who to choose among the remaining three mentors?
Lin Zhibai has not decided yet. He needs to write out the plan first. The difficulty is not high. He can customize it with the system. Then he can complete it in less than an hour and then send it to Jiang Cheng.
“A large-scale talent show singing competition column?”
Jiang Cheng looked at the plan and muttered: "It's exactly the same as the "Master and Apprentice" positioning. There is no problem with the process. The program team first selects players with good skills, then arranges the selection of mentors, and finally the intra-group competition and finals…"
“It’s very simple to say, but the core selling point is not that of a traditional singing talent show.”
Lin Zhibai was explaining to Jiang Cheng.
"First of all, when we were setting up the venue equipment, the chairs of the four instructors were very critical. They had to have their backs to the stage, so the instructors couldn't see the players, and of course they wouldn't know what they looked like. They could only hear them. The voice and the quality of the singing will become the only criterion for the instructor to judge the merits of the contestants. If they like to pat the lights and turn around, this program is called "The Voice", which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of judging people by their appearance."
There are many similar music talent shows in Qinzhou.
In these programs, there will always be a phenomenon of judging people by their appearance.
Good-looking players are more likely to stand out than those who are capable but average-looking.
However, Jiang Cheng's focus was on the four words "shoot the lantern and turn around". He thought of the "If You Are the One" planned by the company before, which also had the classic "shooting the lantern" link.
The audience likes to see the female guests taking pictures.
And this "The Voice" is even more interesting. It even has a design that can only be turned around when the light is taken.
“But can just turning the chair work?”
Apart from turning the chair, Jiang Cheng didn't find any other highlights. He only chose people based on their voices. He guessed it was just a gimmick. In the end, he would definitely choose handsome guys and beautiful women. This is the inevitable destination of all singing talent variety shows!
“Don’t underestimate this design.”
Lin Zhibai said: "With the addition of this design, this program will really look good."
Swiveling the chair is just a formality.
However, this form can give the audience a completely different experience.
There is a certain psychology involved in this, which will lead to the audience's eagerness to see the instructor take photos of certain players.
"Understood."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said: "I believe in the boss's judgment on variety shows. If you say it can work, it will definitely work. But the selection of the four mentors for this show should be very important, right?"
"right."
Lin Zhibai expressed his thoughts.
Jiang Cheng said with a strange expression: "You mean to let Bai Di serve as the music director of "The Voice" to attack Shinhwa's new variety show? Hasn't this become an infighting within the Shinhwa department? Isn't the impact not good? Shinhwa Entertainment Will they agree? You, Bai Di, are also a mythical person after all..."
"no problem."
Lin Zhibai said: "This is the characteristic of Shinhwa, even the three major ones. Besides, Lin Feng's variety show is produced by Shinhwa Video website. It is not the same concept as my brother's variety show department. It's just that everyone belongs to Shinhwa Group and has independent production. It’s just a variety show ability.”
Shinhwa Entertainment.
Mythological video website.
From the outside, it looks like they are one family, but in fact they belong to different camps.
Just like the relationship between WeChat and QQ, it is very subtle. Anyone who has worked in a large company should know that cooperation and competition between product lines can often exist at the same time. Especially when the attributes of each other are similar, the relationship is more complicated.
There is internal strife between the same departments in the Shinhwa company.
Not to mention the product lines of different departments.
Jiang Cheng sighed with emotion: "I hope we at Kunpeng will not fight like this in the future. There is no problem with departmental competition and cooperation, but if it goes too far, it will affect the interests of the entire company."
Kunpeng is getting bigger and bigger.
Different departments with similar attributes will definitely appear in the future.
After learning some lessons from the development of Shinhwa Group, Jiang Cheng said: "In addition to asking the boss to invite Zhang Xiyang as Bai Di, who will be the other three mentors?"
"Not ready yet."
“It feels quite difficult. I guess even if we can invite Zhang Xiyang, the king of singing, it will be because of the identity of the boss Bai Di..."
“Do you have any idea?”
"We can ask Su Chan to help. Tianguang has the most number of singers and queens. Besides, we can raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. We have given her so many benefits, and it is her turn to repay us."
“Then let Su Chan help.”
Lin Zhibai ordered Jiangcheng to handle these things.
…
A few days later.
Lin Wei, the current music director of Shinhwa Entertainment, met with Lin Zhibai.
Lin Wei is Lin Zhibai’s aunt and the biological sister of her eldest uncle, second uncle and third uncle.
But the relationship between Lin Wei and her uncles is very ordinary, and of course the relationship with Lin Zhibai's family is also very ordinary. They have no grievances or grudges against each other.
“The minister is looking for me.”
Lin Zhibai entered the office and said hello to Lin Wei.
Lin Wei looked at her nephew and smiled.
“You don’t need to call me minister, just aunt. Otherwise, I would have to call you Teacher Baidi.”
“Auntie, you’re welcome.”
Lin Zhibai followed his good deeds. It was true that he had feuds with several of his uncles' families, but he and this aunt had never been in conflict with each other.
There are head debts and owners, and Lin Zhibai is not so angry that this is a strange aunt.
“Xiaobai.”
Lin Wei said: "It's like this. Kunpeng has a new variety show, and they want you to be the music director of that variety show. The company held a meeting and decided that this matter should be based on your own wishes."
It seems that Jiangcheng has already sent out an invitation.
Just as Lin Zhibai thought, the company would not obstruct anything at all, and would only give himself, the "White Emperor," extremely high levels of freedom.
After all, companies now know.
Lin Zhibai is the grandson of Chairman Lin Zhaomu.
There are even rumors in the company that Lin Zhibai is Lin Zhaomu’s most beloved direct descendant.
This rumor is not groundless. The chairman gave Lin Zhibai the Mythology Publishing House with a valuation of tens of billions. This is ironclad evidence in the eyes of many people. After all, even the four sons of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter are not with the old man. What about this treatment?
“Kunpeng?”
Lin Zhibai pretended to know about it and said casually: "Ask them to send me the variety show planning case, and I will make a decision after watching it."
“Okay, I’ll send it to you personally later.”
Just as she was about to leave, Lin Wei called out to Lin Zhibai, "Xiaobai, my aunt has something she wants to discuss with you."
“Auntie, please speak.”
Hand out her hand to avoid hitting the smiling person, she was polite and Lin Zhibai was also polite. "It's like this, doesn't your uncle have some printing houses? They used to cooperate with our Shinhwa Publishing House, but recently I heard that Shinhwa Publishing House doesn't cooperate with his printing house for book printing and publishing. Now, I think Shinhwa Publishing House is yours now. Are you a little dissatisfied with your uncle? Tell your aunt! When your aunt gets back, let him change it..."
“Dahua Printing Factory?”
“Yes, yes, this is it!”
Lin Wei looked at Lin Zhibai expectantly and somewhat flatteringly.
Lin Zhibai said: "The policy of cooperation with Dahua Printing Factory was set by Luo Da, the former vice president of the publishing house. Luo Da had some problems, so some of the projects he led were stopped by me, but there was no specific target. What my uncle meant."
Lin Zhibai is telling the truth.
When the people of Luo Da walked away and the tea cooled down, the trees fell and the hozens dispersed. Lin Zhibai naturally cut down some of the projects he led, but unexpectedly, he also took care of his uncle. After all, this was what Lin Zhibai was doing when he was in a meeting. He didn't study that deeply into the matter of a sentence.
The people below think it is too much.
Perhaps there are still people who speculate that their thoughts have made my uncle look bad.
Otherwise my aunt wouldn’t have this attitude.
"I don't know if what you said is true. Let's open the skylight and speak frankly...Xiaobai, I have never interfered with the affairs between you and those uncles' families, including your uncle. He just borrowed money from me. I got in touch with Rhoda...I can swear that your uncle and I have never done anything to regret your family. You can ask your father when you go back."
There was a pause.
Lin Wei gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and begged softly: "So, can you let your uncle go? I beg you, aunt!"
The old man likes Lin Zhibai.
Lin Wei could see this.
You can feel some of the old man's attitude even if you make insinuations.
Even Lin Wei suspected that Lin Zhibai would become one of the future leaders of Shinhwa Group!
In this case, Lin Wei did not dare to act like an elder, not to mention that Lin Zhibai still controlled her man's career future.
Let’s put it this way.
As long as Lin Zhibai lets out the word, no one in the entire book publishing industry will dare to continue to cooperate with Dahua Printing House!
These are the exact words Lin Wei's husband said to him last night.
"In the entire Qinzhou publishing industry, Shinhwa Publishing House is now the dominant one. That nephew of yours has great skills. Even Nathan Publishing House and Tianguang Publishing House dare not touch his edge. All the printing houses under my control are now You have to look at his face to eat."
Even my husband complained to himself in the end:
Why do you, as your aunt, have such a cold relationship with your nephew's family?
So much so that Lin Zhibai fought with those uncles, and in the end his own family became the victims of this fight.
Therefore.
Lin Wei had to lower her head, show off her face, and let go of her elders' restraint.
She is a daughter. She has no hope of inheriting the Shinhwa Group or anything like that in her father's life. She is not as valuable as her nephew.
Shall you let uncle go?
Lin Zhibai didn't feel happy looking at Lin Wei who bowed her head to him.
If Lin Wei's three brothers, that is, Lin Zhibai's three uncles, bowed their heads like this, Lin Zhibai might feel good.
Although the three uncles bowed their heads, Lin Zhibai would not show mercy.
As for Lin Wei and her uncle...
Lin Zhibai said: "I will investigate the qualifications of Dahua Printing Factory. If there is no problem, Shinhwa Publishing House will continue to cooperate."
“Thank you, Xiaobai, I knew you wouldn’t be so cruel!”
Lin Wei was surprised and happy. With Lin Zhibai’s words, Shinhwa Publishing House would no longer shut out Dahua Printing Factory!
“I have conditions.”
Lin Zhibai said calmly: "If Dahua Printing Factory wants to take more orders from Shinhwa Publishing House, my sister will have to make a move."
Lin Wei's heart skipped a beat as she heard what Lin Zhibai meant.
“Just wait.”
Lin Wei gritted her teeth and said, "The position of deputy director of the music department is still vacant."
"good."
Lin Zhibai smiled slightly and said, "My aunt is a smart person and knows where the wind is blowing."
In a sense, wealthy families have no family ties. When my uncle wanted to join Shinhwa Group, he was blocked by several uncles.
Afraid of being decentralized!
This may be the root of the general relationship between my aunt and several uncles.
If his aunt performs well, Lin Zhibai doesn't mind helping her.
As for the Dahua Printing House, it may be too much to say that its life and death were in Lin Zhibai's mind, but he did hold huge power of life and death.
Lin Zhibai is now the king of the book market.
…
Shortly after Lin Zhibai left the office, his sister ran over and asked, "What does aunt want from you?"
Lin Zhibai briefly told his sister about the situation.
Lin Xi looked at his younger brother in shock, "Have you already gained so much power in the book market?"
"good."
Lin Zhibai smiled and said: "If I target my uncle, then Dahua Printing Factory has only two ways to survive, either to cooperate with Tianguang or Nathan Publishing House, but it is impossible for these two companies to help my uncle."
So Lin Zhibai was the only backer of Dahua Printing Factory.
Of course, if my uncle can accept cooperation with some small publishing houses, the printing house will also have a way to survive, but it just won’t reach its current scale.
Order volume is too low.
Unlike Shinhwa Publishing House, which is now the largest publisher in Qinzhou and publishes hundreds of millions of books every year, its order value is simply immeasurable for printing companies!
“I really appreciate you.”
Lin Xi smiled and said: "But after our aunt became the music minister, she was actually pretty good to me."
"Um."
This aunt doesn’t seem to be a troublemaker.
After thinking for a while, Lin Zhibai said: "I helped you earn the position of Deputy Minister of Music, and then it depends on her methods."
"ah!"
Lin Xi was extremely pleasantly surprised, "I hope to be the deputy minister of the music department?"
Lin Zhibai nodded, suddenly thinking that the first mock exam that the old man had invigilated was about to be handed in.
I also got a full score in the submission of the papers in advance. I do n’t know what I will get next year. The old man will not use only one myth publishing house to send himself up?
“I didn’t expect that my sister’s career now depends entirely on you.”
Lin Xi hugged Lin Zhibai's shoulders and said, "Whenever Mr. Bai Di releases a new song, remember to think about my sister."
“Definitely next time.”
Lin Zhibai thought for a while and said: "There is something you need to worry about. I may serve as the music director of Kunpeng's new variety show."
“Kunpeng’s new variety show asked you to be the director?”
“Their self-produced variety show does not have the three major mature teams, so they are recruiting people from all over the place.”
“You agreed?”
“That’s about it. I want to bring Zhang Xiyang over too. I’m very optimistic about this variety show.”
"Okay, you can talk to Zhang Xiyang yourself. With him, your words are much more effective than mine."
“Just saying hello.”
Then Lin Zhibai added: "This show needs four mentors, Zhang Xiyang is one, and there are still three missing. The singers you are in charge of the music department now should also include the king of singers and the queen of singers. Help me ask if there are any who want to come, no. It doesn’t matter, I asked Jiang…Kunpeng is also contacting the singer king and queen of Tianguang.”
Nearly said that he was a bald person.
Lin Xi didn’t notice anything strange, but was a little frightened. “Do you only want singers?”
"right."
"Kunpeng's first self-produced variety show is really big. He actually wants to find four singing kings and queens. This is more courageous than our Shinhwa. Let me ask here. The status of these singing kings and queens is too high. Second only to Qu Daddy in the music industry, not everyone is like Zhang Xiyang who is willing to follow you just by saying a word."
Lin Zhibai nodded.
Kunpeng’s variety shows are attractive to most celebrities, but for top-tier singers like kings and queens, it’s just like that. Most of them don’t like to participate in variety shows.
Unless this variety show is bound to become a hit!
But who can predict in advance which variety show will become a hit?
"Eat lunch together."
Lin Xi took Lin Zhibai to the company's high-level cafeteria and made a few phone calls on the way.
After arriving at the canteen.
Lin Xi hung up the last phone call and said to Lin Zhibai with a smile: "I heard that it was Kunpeng's variety show and that Mr. Bai Di, you, would serve as the music director. The two divas in our company seemed to be a little interested. "
"Yeah?"
Lin Zhibai remembers that there are only two divas in Shinhwa Entertainment.
Hello guys, I was so sleepy while typing in the last chapter that I wrote at night, but I became more energetic... I don’t know if you have similar feelings. I feel drowsy when I go to work, but I feel completely alive when I get off work.
