Chapter 71 Cruel Facts

New Century Entertainment, in the conference room.

At present, it is almost dusk, but the whole company shows no sign of getting off work.

Cao Dequan is still collecting results with executives and shareholders of various departments. Although he has heard about Wang Jingwen's *, it doesn't matter. What these people want is record sales. As long as it can bring benefits to the company, nothing else matters.

At this time, a staff member of the Statistics Department ran into the conference room in a hurry.

Seeing this, Cao Dequan finally couldn't sit still. He stood up and hurriedly asked the staff, "How's it going? How's the sales?" Are all 3 million records sold out?

The staff member's face was extremely ugly. He hurriedly opened a sales statistics report in his hand and stammered: "Report... Chairman, so far, Miss Wang Jingwen's record sales are... yes..."

Speaking of this, the staff's voice seemed to be blocked by something, trying to say it, but they couldn't say it.

Cao Feifei thought that it was because the sales of records were too good, which made the statisticians speechless. So she took the statistical report from the staff member and fixed her eyes. Cao Feifei couldn't help opening her eyes and instantly lost her face, as if it was not a sales report that came into her eyes, but A bolt from the blue!

"The total sales volume is...two...two thousand?!" Cao Feifei read out the total sales volume in the statistical reimbursement, but this number has far exceeded her imagination, which makes her unbelievable!

"What?!"

Although Cao Feifei's voice is small, every word is clearly heard by Cao Dequan.

However, like Cao Feifei, Cao Dequan was obviously difficult to accept this sales. His legs were soft, and his buttocks collapsed on the seat. His expression was dull and his eyes were dull. His two fists were clenched, so that his nails were pierced into his palm. He didn't feel pain and lost his soul. He really couldn't accept this. Cruel facts!

Other people were also extremely depressed, which instantly covered the original beautiful atmosphere with a layer of haze, which was depressing and suffocating!

I invested nearly 100 million, produced 3 million records, and spent so much money on publicity, but on the first day of sales, only 2,000 records were sold, which was unfavorable. Even if it continues, I believe that the sales will not be much better.

This time, I really lost all my money and made a big loss!

Although this project was initiated by Cao Dequan, he is the chairman after all, so even if the shareholders have complaints, they dare not complain about him.

Although Gao Xiaosong is responsible for the music production of records, he is a recognized godfather of music in China, so people will naturally not doubt his music production level.

As a result, a pair of resentful eyes were all thrown on Wang Jingwen, obviously putting all the blame on her head.

spent so much money so that she can bring more benefits to the company.

However, the company assigned her the most professional music production team and invited the world's most famous director to create a top MV for her. As a result, she not only did not make money for the company, but also lost money. Even if she deducted all her previous advertising endorsement fees, and then deducted all the money earned from her previous commercial performances, It's not enough to make up for this loss!

100 million, I can't afford to sell her!

In contrast, Wang Jingwen took off the sunglasses on her face for the first time, and also had an incredible expression.

In fact, she had a hunch that the sales of this record would not be satisfactory, but she never thought that the sales would be so bad!

Only 2,000 copies were sold a day, and even a third-tier singer was sold. For Wang Jingwen, this is simply a violation of her self-esteem, an insult to her singing level, and even a satire on her big star!

"Hmm! I thought I had found gold, but it turned out to be just a stone!"

"Alas! I finally know the meaning of the two sentences 'the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment'! Well, I admit, my expectations are too high!"

"I usually look high, saying that I am the first sister in the domestic music world. Now I don't think I'm the first sister in the music world. I'm not even as good as a third-tier star!"

Shareholders have different opinions. Although they did not name names, it is obvious that they all targeted Wang Jingwen and believed that she was the culprit who led to this fiasco!

In the face of the accusations of shareholders, Wang Jingwen's face has turned red. Even the thick foundation can't hide her inner embarrassment. The high attitude of the past is gone. At this moment, she is like a deflated balloon and has no confidence.

Wang Jingwen doesn't know that these people don't care whether they are big stars or not. They only care whether they can bring them benefits. Otherwise, in their eyes, I'm afraid they are not even a fart. This is the entertainment industry.

The so-called blessing is not double, and misfortune is not alone...

At this time, several staff members came to the conference room in a panic and only heard one of them gasping report: "Chairman, many video stores have asked for returns, and major shopping malls have removed Miss Wang Jingwen's records and sealed them directly back to our company's warehouse. At present, the number of returns has reached more than 1 million!"

Hearing this, Cao Dequan only felt that his heart was suffocated, and his face suddenly lost his blood. He hurriedly took out a strong heart pill and put it in his mouth. After a while, he finally recovered.

At this time, another staff member continued to report: "Report to the chairman, several advertising companies require us to restore Miss Wang Jingwen's image in the eyes of the public as soon as possible, otherwise they will end their contract with us and ask us to compensate for their economic losses!"

Hearing this, Cao Dequan, who had just recovered, suffocated again. His face was white and blue, and his whole body trembled violently. He was about to die on the spot!

Cao Dequan hurriedly sent another medicine to his mouth. After a long time, he felt that his breathing was a little smoother, but if he continued to be stimulated, it was difficult to guarantee that he could survive so smoothly.

Seeing that her father could no longer withstand any stimulation, Cao Feifei suddenly looked cold. She pointed to the door and shouted at several staff members, "Don't you see that the chairman is not feeling well? Get out of here. If you dare to come in casually, I will fire you immediately!"

Several staff members were excited together. How dare they stay for a long time? They disappeared in an instant.

Cao Feifei still had a cold face, glanced at the shareholders present angrily, and immediately put on the air of the general manager. Not only did she not comfort everyone, but also said mercilessly, "It's only been a day. What are you worried about? At worst, if we increase publicity, I don't believe that with Wang Jingwen's popularity, the sales of records will not rise?

"Increase publicity?" A shareholder sneered and said unhappy, "General Manager Cao means that we will continue to invest money in Wang Jingwen? Are you right? Do you think our previous publicity is not strong enough? Even if we throw the money into the river, at least we can still hear the sound, right? What can we get by throwing it on her?

"So what? Doesn't Wang Jingwen have another concert? At worst, we will raise the ticket price. Many people are waiting in line to watch Wang Jingwen's live performance. Are they afraid that they won't make money? If you are afraid of spending money, it's okay. At worst, I'll find someone to invest. You don't have to pay a penny for publicity, right? Cao Feifei said strongly.

Wang Jingwen proposed to dig it, so Wang Jingwen has no achievements, and her general manager will also have no face, so no matter what, she has to find a way to minimize the loss.

"Find someone to invest?" Hearing this, the shareholders' eyes suddenly lit up. As long as they don't spend their own money, they don't mind helping Wang Jingwen with publicity. As Cao Feifei said, Wang Jingwen has another concert. If it is done well, it may reduce a little loss.

It's just that the current entertainment market is very sluggish, so it is not easy to find investors.

"General Manager Cao, you have to speak responsibly. We don't recommend holding a concert, but we will never pay again. If General Manager Cao has the ability to find someone to invest, we will raise our hands in favor. Does it all depends on whether General Cao has this ability? A shareholder's questioning sounded, which was obviously a little exciting.

"Hmm, isn't it just looking for someone to invest? Is Jinsheng Group enough? Cao Feifei said righteously.

The shareholders looked at each other, but no one spoke again, and no one dared to continue to question Cao Feifei.

The people present are businessmen. Naturally, they understand the strength of Jinsheng Group. Of course, they also know the relationship between Cao Feifei and Jinsheng Group.

As the future princess of Jinsheng Group, as long as Cao Feifei says a word, Jinsheng Group will certainly not be stingy, and it is not a problem to invest some money to sponsor.

In fact, Cao Feifei can successfully serve as the general manager of this company and has a great relationship with Jinsheng Group. The reason why shareholders do not object is that Cao and Ling have already had a marriage contract.

Imagine that if Cao Feifei marries the prince of Jinsheng Group in the future, it will be equivalent to the marriage of the two companies. With the big backer of Jinsheng Group, the entertainment in the new century will definitely flourish, and shareholders naturally want to take advantage of it.

"Is there nothing to say?" Cao Feifei glanced at the shareholders, then went to Cao Dequan's side, carefully helped him up, and walked straight out.

When passing by Wang Jingwen's side, Cao Feifei paused, stared at Wang Jingwen, and said in that warning tone, "If you let the company lose in the future, even I can't protect you. Next, prepare for the concert for me. If you make a mistake again, don't blame the company for being ruthless!"

Wang Jingwen nodded helplessly, felt very wronged, and vaguely felt a little nostalgic for Huada Entertainment. At least at the time of Huada Entertainment, she had never felt so much pressure.

Here, she feels that she has a mountain on her body. If she can't stand it, she will be crushed to death at any time, so that she will be doomed and there will be no day to turn over!
