Chapter 224 National Confidence
Everyone at Xia Haoyang Studio imagined that "Open the Door" from the third album would be a hit, but never imagined that it would be such a hit. After selling 2 million albums in 500 days, it exceeded 5 million in 1000 days and 14 million in 2000 days. In the minds of the bosses at Fat Cat Studio, 2000 million is already a very impressive number, so it is free on the official website Uploaded the complete MV of "Please Open the Door", and the click rate exceeded 80 million within three days of uploading. Major audio websites immediately started playing the song for free. In less than a month, the song had more than billion clicks on the Internet. .
It can be said that as popular as Jianlang's "Rakshasa Sea" was in 2023, this year's "Open the Door" was equally popular, and Jianlang's "Rakshasa Sea" was played more than 2023 billion times globally in 336. Due to the popularity of this song, the Tara girl group has completely become a phenomenon-level singer in China. The endorsement or appearance fees for various business activities have increased 2024 times compared with 10, and compared with 2023 when they first debuted, they have increased more than 300 times. .
"The famous perfume brand Chanel hopes to contact Tara to be their global spokesperson. At the same time, Bulgari, Yves Saint Laurent, Tiffany, Dior, etc. have also contacted me." Juzi reported the latest business invitation in Xia Haoyang's office.
Xia Haoyang didn't speak but just frowned.
"Fat man, why are you looking so sad? This is a good thing. A female star doesn't have many big-name luxury goods contracts. How dare you say that you are in the entertainment industry?" Han Xiyu thinks this is a good thing. It is because Tara has grown into a first-class or even a top star. prove.
"Fat man, what are you worried about?" Lao Xie and others were also surprised by Xia Haoyang's expression.
"The war between Hebrew and Canaan is still going on, and now the entire Arab countries are joining forces to fight against Hebrew and his backing force, Milicia." Xia Haoyang said softly.
"That's none of our business." Han Xiyu said incomprehensively.
Xia Haoyang did not pay attention to Han Xiyu and continued: "The governments of the entire European continent are siding with Hebrew, including these luxury goods companies, and they are all donating money and materials to Hebrew."
Lao Xie, Zhou Yuanhong, and Zhao Yishen all became thoughtful after hearing this. Han Xiyu and Li Tianci looked at each other. The impatient Han Xiyu said, "Fat man, what on earth do you want to say?"
"Xiao Yuzi, who do you sympathize with in the war between Hebrew and Canaan?" Xia Haoyang asked.
"Nonsense, of course it's Canaan. I will support whoever fights Milijan with real swords and guns." Han Xiyu said without hesitation.
"Hebrews have occupied more than 90% of Canaan's territory for decades, and forced millions of Canaanite people to live such a difficult life. Of course, they side with Canaan." Li Tianci said without hesitation.
"Yes, China was invaded by Japan half a century ago. Before Japan, it also had a history of being invaded by major European and American countries for hundreds of years. In the mentality of Chinese people, it is easy to sympathize with Canaan. Now the whole of Europe and America or these luxury Since all the companies in Pinyin are lining up with Hebrew, why don't you worry about anything?" Xia Haoyang said seriously.
"Fat man, are you worried that Tara endorses these luxury goods, and once their company does something harmful to the interests of China, or makes some inappropriate remarks, it will affect Tara's situation?" Zhou Yuanhong also said seriously.
"Yes, there is endless money to be made. From the perspective of a female star's personal career plan, endorsement of top luxury goods is indeed a dream, but today's China, or today's Chinese people are different from before. Today's China Chinese people are more confident, and their national self-confidence and pride are higher than those of our time."
"To put it simply, when we were studying, our classmates in college all liked Nike, Adidas, New Balance, Decathlon, and at worst, Yonex and Mizuno from Japan; but if you look at the domestic products sold by current students, , I don’t feel that I’m wearing cheap clothes or even feel proud. This is a change in mentality.”
"Perhaps in our thinking, we still have the idea of endorsing international big names. This is the glory or glory of our ancestors. Just like what Xiao Yuzi said just now, if you don't endorse a few high-end luxury brands, are you embarrassed to be in the entertainment industry? This is our generation or us. The inertial thinking of the previous generation of entertainers does not represent the thinking of today’s young people.”
"Fat man, do you mean that Tara won't cooperate with these big brands?" Several people looked at each other with different expressions.
"In this way, Juzi, any luxury goods company that has publicly stated its support for Hebrew will be rejected. In the future, other companies will seek out Tara for endorsement. First, find out whether there were any things or incidents that insulted China or disrespected China in the past ten years. If so, If anything, we will reject it! When working with foreign products, the contract must be clearly written. Once the company publishes or makes any incident or statement that disrespects China, disrespects Chinese people, or harms the interests of China, Tara has the right to unconditionally terminate the contract. This item must be added." Xia Haoyang said seriously.
"Fat man, if you ask like this, it will be difficult for us to cooperate with those big foreign companies, because many big-name foreign companies will think that the company has nothing to do with politics, and will never add clauses involving political factors to the contract, and if you ask them like this, they will They will laugh at us." As a professional agent, Juzi is very familiar with the cooperation with big-name companies in the industry.
"It is better to be laughed at by these luxury goods companies than to be scolded by billions of Chinese people in the future. We are in the entertainment industry. The redder you are, the more people stare at you, just like a cat smelling fishy odor. And to be honest, people are originally There is a hatred of the rich, and everyone thinks it is easy to make money in the entertainment industry, and the more popular a star is, the higher the requirements will be for her, and the stricter the requirements will be, such as character, personal quality, and moral standards."
"If you are an extra, no one will care if you smoke a cigarette, but if you are a top-notch actor, you will be exposed in the newspapers if you have no quality, so we should be more cautious. Regarding Tara, I would rather they make less money in the entertainment industry. Their status is lower, I don't want them to be scolded." Xia Haoyang, who has experienced the original time and space, understands how happy Tara is when she is not scolded, and how miserable Tara is once she is spurned by fans.
"And you said that business has nothing to do with politics? It's pure nonsense! Since business has nothing to do with politics, why do these companies donate money and materials to Hebrews? Why don't they help the millions of Canaanite people who have been displaced? Because helping Hebrews It is politically correct to come to these countries!" Xia Haoyang said calmly.
Hearing Xia Haoyang's words, everyone was silent. Yi Hongling had never spoken during the meeting, but she spoke today: "Xia Haoyang, I can see from your words that you are really good to Tara. This kind of feeling is not the feeling of a company boss towards his artists, and of course it is not the attitude of a couple, but I can feel that you sincerely protect and cherish them, just like you would an idol. In short, Xia Haoyang, I support you. "
Tara and the others were playing with the cat in the next room and did not participate in the company boss's meeting, but the ball they were playing with fell to the door of the conference room. Zeng Jingyi ran to pick up the ball and heard the entire conversation. She was stunned for a while, then walked away gently without saying anything.
