Chapter 263: Chapter 243: Wu Mu’s Value is Still a Bit High
Wu Feng and Wu Mu didn’t have any real feud, but the ban was enacted by Star Electronics and the TV station; it had nothing to do with him. He was merely executing the notice.
However, Wu Mu did indeed drop out of his show, and especially after Wu Mu’s dropout, he even exposed Star Electronics and their show online.
This caused their show to be severely criticized.
They were accused of being a puppet for Srtar Electronics, abusing authority to help a private company ban a celebrity.
This caused the station to have some complaints about him, saying he hadn’t managed the situation properly.
But at that time, how could he have anticipated Wu Mu being so ruthless; even though Wu Mu had already received twenty million as a dropout fee, he still went ahead and exposed their show.
Although the money was nominally a compensation for Wu Mu’s dropout, it did not specify anything about sealing the mouth, and such matters could never be officially documented.
He thought Wu Mu, after so many years in the industry, wouldn’t be foolish enough to do something that would intensify conflicts and be of no benefit to himself.
But who would have thought this person really had no reservations....
Moreover, what he didn’t expect was that he originally thought with Wu Mu’s singing talent, at most he wouldn’t leave the industry and could still earn a living in it.
But who would have thought it wasn’t just a matter of making a living; since the dropout, relying on the effects of various shows, he had nearly regained his former top-notch popularity, even exceeding it.
He and Star Electronics, undoubtedly, had become a backdrop that enhanced someone else’s success.
Countless marketing accounts and video platforms, whenever they mentioned Wu Mu, had to drag out their show for a beating.
In such a situation, there were still people suggesting inviting Wu Mu to their program!?
Wu Feng frowned and pondered for two seconds, "Check if they have any available slots."
Huh?
What?
The teammates, who were sitting up straight, were suddenly dumbfounded.
Wu Feng remained calm, "If he has an available slot, then put him on the priority list, let him support the early stages."
Hmm, no matter how unpleasant Wu Mu was, one shouldn’t let the opportunity for profit slip by just for pride’s sake.
He hadn’t thought about Wu Mu initially due to his subordinates not reminding him.
Now with this reminder, he suddenly realized that Wu Mu was indeed the most suitable choice.
Having him on the show, not only would they benefit from the traffic of his new album, but his image also perfectly suited their show’s theme.
Plus, Wu Mu’s capacity to stir things up and enhance the show’s popularity... not inviting him would simply be self-sabotage.
Having him over would not only save a significant amount in marketing expenses, but most importantly, it would enhance the quality of their program.
As for whether Star Electronics would have an opinion about inviting Wu Mu...
That ban had long since become a dead letter.
With Wu Mu’s current momentum, that ban had nearly become a joke.
Now, private bans and an individual TV station’s ban were useless to Wu Mu unless an official ban was implemented; he couldn’t be stopped by such things anymore.
If Star Electronics continued to fuss over this matter, it wouldn’t be targeting Wu Mu anymore, but their station.
Their station was not really afraid of Star Electronics; they had just thought that Wu Mu wasn’t valuable enough to offend Star Electronics for.
But now... he had to admit, Wu Mu was indeed quite valuable.
...
"Star City TV wants me on their program?"
Wu Mu was quite surprised to receive Shi Wu’s report.
Would Star City TV really stoop to this?
Shi Wu had heard some things, "I’ve heard about that program within the industry; they’ve invested significant resources and aim to create a buzzworthy perennial variety show. Moreover, they want to align with the national strategy of promoting cultural exports, so overall, they’re highly focused."
"President Wu, should we take this show?"
To take it or not?
After some consideration, Wu Mu said, "Ask them to increase the fee, charge them an extra million per episode. If they agree, we’ll take it; if not, forget about it."
He hadn’t really dwelt on the previous dropout matter, and there wasn’t any enmity between both parties, but he had received twenty million as a dropout fee.
But it was a TV station that had troubled him, so a fee increase was a must.
His current rate for a single episode had already risen to about three million, and for a season with over ten episodes, it summed up to more than thirty million.
Adding a million per episode, he’d collect a penalty fee of ten million.
Shi Wu was already immune to his penalizing approach, and upon hearing it he simply nodded, "I’ll contact Star City TV later."
"Also, besides the Star City TV program, the terms with the music platforms are set."
"The three music platforms will jointly invest twenty-six million to obtain the release authorization for our new album, with Tencent Music as the lead platform, NetEase Cloud and Migu Music as secondary platforms. The album will be launched a week later on these platforms."
"Then regarding the revenue sharing ratio, Tencent Music will maintain a 30:70 ratio while NetEase Cloud and Migu Music will shift to a 20:80 ratio. Also, before our album launches, they need to provide homepage promotion on their websites and channels..."
The three platforms decided against an auction, figuring out those two had substantial determination and sincerity. They sat down to discuss and finally agreed to jointly fund the purchase.
With Tencent Music, contributing a higher proportion, obtaining a week’s exclusive rights to the album launch.
Wu Mu nodded, "Alright, then sign on these terms."
The terms having been settled, he directly signed the contract with the representatives of the music platforms who were still in Chun City.
Once the contract was signed, representatives from the music platforms immediately flew back to their companies, ready to start the initial hype.
As for Star City TV, after initially being indecisive in the face of Wu Mu’s high price, they ultimately couldn’t resist Wu Mu’s popularity and the potential show impact and also sent someone to sign the contract.
With the new engagement secured, Wu Mu was really leaving now.
The recording for Star City TV’s program wasn’t imminent, but he needed to start working on the album.
Wu Mu smiled at Sun Yueqing who had come to the airport to see him off, "I’m heading to Beijing. I’ll come back for dinner after the drama’s finale."
Sun Yueqing had calmed her emotions after his persuasion but again felt the stir at his departure.
She waved her hand somewhat emotionally:
"Go on then, I’ve been boasting everywhere about how amazing the songs in your album are. If the sales turn out poor, not only will you be embarrassed, but I’ll be embarrassed along with you."
Wu Mu laughed, "Don’t worry, it’s in the bag!"
"Leaving now."
"Alright, have a safe trip."
