Chapter 35 Dilraba's Devotion Plan
The phenomenal success of "Eternal Love" has thrilled the Coolcat team.
The staff at the self-produced drama studio were cheering and celebrating.
"We succeeded. Just as Mr. Tang predicted, everyone can get a good night's sleep tonight."
"I didn't expect our results to be so much better than 'Darker 2'. Let's see if they still dare to underestimate us now."
"President Tang is truly amazing. 'Produce 101' was a phenomenon, and this self-produced drama is another example of debuting at the peak. Following President Tang is definitely the best decision I've ever made in my life."
"According to our company's practice, with this project being so successful, it looks like we're going to get a promotion and a raise again."
"All of this is thanks to President Tang."
...
Everyone was full of energy; following Tanglou was really great.
Coolcat Hangzhou Business Unit, President's Office.
Shen Yan kept a close eye on the latest data for "Eternal Love" and felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders after seeing the feedback from the data department.
"It's done."
"As expected of someone I value and fully support. With this drama, Kugou Music's performance this year has exceeded expectations, firmly securing its position as the number one video platform!"
"With two projects succeeding in a row, it seems we can start talking to Tang Lou about new projects now."
With his performance record in hand, Shen Yan also gained the confidence to negotiate with the group's senior management and obtain funding approvals.
Tanglou is his lucky charm; no matter how much resistance his new project faces, he will give it his full support.
Jiaxing Media.
With the immense popularity of "Eternal Love," all the members were overjoyed.
This time, in addition to the lead actress Yang Mi maintaining a stable reputation and taking her career to new heights,
After Dilraba's explosive popularity in "Diamond Lover", she has landed another phenomenal role, and her current popularity is in no way inferior to Yang Mi's.
Without a doubt, after this drama ends, Dilraba will be treated like a top-tier actress again, both in terms of status and salary.
Moreover, she will most likely play the female lead in her next drama.
Besides these two wildly popular artists, Gao Weiguang, Zhang Bingbing, and others have also gained popularity through their respective roles, with their Weibo followers skyrocketing from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
This has filled the artists of Jiaxing Media with gratitude and respect for the tenement buildings.
They all look forward to participating in another drama produced by Tanglou in the future.
Yang Mi also began to consider the future cooperative relationship with Tanglou.
At the beginning of the month, Jiaxing Media completed its backdoor listing by acquiring a controlling stake in Xi'an Datong, a company listed on the National Equities Exchange and Quotations (NEEQ). At that time, the overall valuation was just over 100 million yuan.
Now that "Eternal Love" has become a huge hit, the value of all the company's artists has increased dramatically, especially Dilraba, who has become a top-tier actress. With Jiaxing Media being a veteran top-tier actress, its valuation is sure to skyrocket!
Valuation is ultimately just a bubble; to be able to trade freely in the market, one still needs to produce sufficient results and performance.
Jiaxing Media operates on an artist management model, relying entirely on Yang Mi's reputation to stay afloat. It doesn't have much capital behind it, otherwise it wouldn't have accepted Tanglou's 80 million investment.
What should be done after this project?
This time, everyone, including Yang Mi, followed Tang Lou's plan.
Therefore, all Yang Mi can do now is to cling to Tang Lou's coattails.
As the head of the self-produced drama team on the KuMiao platform, Tang Lou has sufficient resources and funds. As long as we can maintain a close relationship with Tang Lou and have our interests intertwined, we can naturally continue to cooperate.
Tang Lou currently owns 10% of Jiaxing Media's shares, but he is only the smallest shareholder. If he cashes out and leaves, what will sustain their cooperation in the future?
Besides considering the value of the artists in her own studio, Yang Mi also thought of Dilraba.
Tang Lou has always valued and supported Dilraba, so there's a high probability that he's interested in her.
In Yang Mi's view, Dilraba was her apprentice whom she had personally trained, but she never expected her to become famous so quickly.
When an artist becomes famous too quickly, they can become arrogant, and the problem is that they may not be able to control themselves later.
Therefore, Yang Mi needs to do some serious ideological work with Dilraba, and before she becomes arrogant and complacent about her status as a top star, make her realize that her sudden popularity is due to Jiaxing Media and Yang Mi's planning.
In addition to PUA, Yang Mi also plans to transfer 2% of Jiaxing Media's shares to Dilraba, binding her to Jiaxing Media.
Of course, in order to stabilize Tanglou, Yang Mi had already discussed with the other two founders that they were prepared to transfer another 5% of their shares to Tanglou.
Further increase Tanglou's shareholding, keep him here, and work together to develop more projects, so that Jiaxing's market value will continue to rise, becoming a real market value that can be freely traded in the capital market, rather than a bubble.
Yang Mi has big ambitions; she doesn't want to be just an actress, she wants to become a queen of capital.
After making a plan, Yang Mi called Reba over.
Having just become famous, Dilraba hadn't yet adapted to her new identity, so she remained very humble and obedient in front of Yang Mi.
"Honey, what did you call me here for?"
Reba is still young, and she is still very inexperienced in front of Yang Mi, who is a seasoned veteran.
"Dilraba, thanks to my planning, you gained Mr. Tang's favor and had the opportunity to participate in the 'Eternal Love' project. Now, you've finally made it and become a popular A-list artist."
"To express our congratulations and as a reward, Jiaxing Media will transfer 2% of your shares, making you the owner of Jiaxing from now on. Of course, to give you better treatment, we will update your artist contract, extend the contract term, increase your salary, and also update the breach of contract clauses."
When Dilraba heard that she would receive shares and additional benefits, she was naturally very happy.
Dilraba has only recently become popular and hasn't taken on any new endorsements or jobs yet, so she doesn't have a completely new understanding of her commercial value.
Under Yang Mi's coaxing and deception, he quickly signed a new ten-year contract, along with an exorbitant penalty for breach of contract.
However, at present, Dilraba has no intention of leaving. Under the lure of high salary and shares, she has already happily accepted the new contract.
After the contract was signed, Yang Mi began a new round of persuasion.
"Reba, now you and our Jiaxing are in the same boat, sharing both prosperity and ruin."
"As you know, our company's growth and your personal rise to fame are inseparable from the planning of Cool Cat and President Tang."
"President Tang is also one of our shareholders at Jiaxing Media, and he is our greatest resource and support in the future. In order to ensure that he stands wholeheartedly with Jiaxing, we need to build a close relationship with him."
"As you know, President Tang has always admired you and has high hopes for you."
"You should know what I mean?"
For the sake of Tang Lou's favor, Yang Mi didn't mind sending Reba to Tang Lou's bed.
Dilraba is currently still single. Although she attends some drinking parties after starting work, she only goes so far as to leave them untouched. Before, she was just a relatively unknown artist and didn't have much commercial value, so she hasn't really reached that point yet.
This time, Yang Mi and the two founders went all in on the Tanglou, so they were prepared to pay any price, including everything Dilraba had.
Reba was very loyal to her master Yang Mi, and Tang Lou did indeed have the kindness of recognizing her talent.
In addition, Tang Lou is handsome and a powerful figure in Cool Cat, so young he is destined for a bright future.
"Honey, I understand."
"If it's President Tang, I can do it."
Reba blushed and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
"Okay, I'll arrange a time. I'll invite President Tang to dinner under the guise of expressing my gratitude. I'll excuse myself halfway through, and then it's up to you to handle things the rest."
