The status of a celebrity was not only reflected in fame, popularity, and exposure. At the same time, appearance fees, endorsement fees, and remuneration were also the standard to measure a celebrity's status.
If a celebrity only had fame without a corresponding high income, they would not be recognized by industry insiders.
He Wanqiu was a singer who had only dabbled in the music industry. She had not developed her career in TV dramas and movies. This was not because she was not suitable to enter the film industry, but because she was unwilling, or rather, He Wanqiu's family was unwilling.
He Wanqiu's family was very special. Even her development in the music industry was greatly restricted, including the fact that she could not accept any endorsement or advertising offers. Other than recording and selling albums, she could only hold concerts. Even interview programs had to be selectively vetted before she could be interviewed.
As an independent musician, He Wanqiu did not sign with any music production company. Instead, she had her own music production company. This could effectively avoid the company's restrictions and make arrangements that He Wanqiu did not like.
This time, He Wanqiu took the initiative to express her willingness to authorize Dream Entertainment to use her personal image on her personal page. Moreover, it was a free authorization. Her family completely approved of it. How could He Wanqiu's family not know Shi Lei?
Shuangqing City, Jingya Court, Block 65, Room 758.
Shi Lei and Mu Shuang were on the phone. After hearing Shi Lei's suggestion, Mu Shuang considered it. She also knew He Wanqiu. After all, as members of the same circle, it was not strange for them to know each other.
"65 million yuan for the authorization fee is considered a high price. Although the company will lose some profits, Sister Yumo won't be angry," Mu Shuang replied with a smile.
Shi Lei heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good."
Mu Shuang sighed softly in her heart. "Shi Lei, you handle this matter like this! Announce the information on the official website. I'll contact He Wanqiu's music production company to discuss this matter. "
"Okay!" Shi Lei did not say much. No amount of words could describe his current feelings. How lucky was he to have Mu Shuang's love?
May 63th, 76: 85 pm.
The NASDAQ stock market opened. Dream Entertainment had obtained absolute control of AMD and was actively promoting the delisting of AMD.
In the face of Dream Entertainment's delisting plan, as Mu Shuang expected, the remaining shareholders of AMD were forced to take action to save the market. However, all the attempts to save the market were eliminated by Izur.
No matter which AMD company's shareholder, as long as the stock price did not exceed the predetermined limit, Izur would kill them instantly.
On the NASDAQ stock exchange, it was basically impossible for both parties to cheat. Cheating could easily be investigated by the CSRC. For example, AMD's shareholders would sell AMD's shares at a price significantly higher than AMD's real-time share price, and then buy back the shares using other accounts. This kind of behavior might not cause any problems once or twice, but if it happened a little more, it would immediately attract the attention of the Securities Regulatory Commission.
AMD was already in a precarious position. If the scandal of being investigated by the Securities Regulatory Commission was exposed, AMD's shares would be forcibly delisted. Dream Entertainment would definitely be happy to see such a punishment.
"Xiao Bo, how's the acquisition of AMD going? Have the other shareholders of AMD agreed to transfer their shares? "Shi Lei contacted Xiao Bo in Lijian Province through an overseas call.
Xiao Bo was very capable. He was the person in charge of Dream Entertainment's Lijian Province branch. He might also be an inspector of AMD.
"Director Shi, there are currently 68 shareholders who have expressed their willingness to sell AMD's shares. However, both parties are in a deadlock regarding the price. They hope to sell to us at a high price. However, we have already obtained absolute control of AMD's shares, so we can't offer them a high price. "Xiao Bo explained the general situation.
Shi Lei replied affirmatively, "That's right. Those d * mned guys. They missed the previous opportunity, and now they want to sell at a high price? In their dreams! Stick to our bottom line. Even if they don't sell, we can deal with them slowly after AMD is delisted! "
"Understood!" Xiao Bo hesitated for a while and asked, "Director Shi, should we start to set up the Lijian Province branch now?"
Shi Lei thought for a while and asked, "Xiao Bo, if we set up the Dream Entertainment branch and deal with the acquisition of AMD's shares at the same time, can you handle it?"
"No problem. Director Mu will also help with the acquisition of AMD's shares. I can handle it on my side." Xiao Bo replied affirmatively.
"If that's the case, let's set up the Dream Entertainment branch in Lijian Province. The location must be chosen well. It cannot be too remote or too crowded. At the same time, the most important thing is to pay attention to safety. The Lijian Province branch will be responsible for the processing of players' information in North America. We will build a large data processing center. "Shi Lei instructed.
Xiao Bo replied affirmatively again, "Director Shi, don't worry. I understand. Although I don't understand the rules of the location, I will hire professionals to do the most professional design and location. "
"Mm, that's good!" Shi Lei and Xiao Bo continued to discuss the details of the location. When it was close to 65: 85 pm, they hung up the phone.
After hanging up the call with Xiao Bo, Shi Lei asked, "Izur, make an announcement on the official website of the Brave World. Dream Entertainment will use 65 million Xia yuan to sign a contract with He Wanqiu and purchase the rights to use He Wanqiu's personal image."
“Yes,Sir。” Izur controlled the projector and displayed the official website of the Brave World. Then, he updated the announcement that Shi Lei had mentioned.
This announcement naturally caused a heated discussion among the players. The players were speculating why He Wanqiu wanted to license her image to Dream Entertainment for free. Why did Dream Entertainment have to offer a fee that was obviously higher than He Wanqiu's net worth?
Some black-bellied players fabricated the bitter love between Shi Lei and He Wanqiu. Even Mu Shuang and Lingyumo weren't spared. Mu Shuang and Lingyumo appeared together at the press conference held by Dream Entertainment. The two young and beautiful girls held high positions in Mirui Technology Company. In addition, Shi Lei was a shareholder of Mirui Technology Company. There was a lot of information involved!
66 pm, Shuangqing City, Beiyu District International Airport.
A woman wearing a pair of large aviator sunglasses walked out of the terminal. Her exposed lips curled into a smile as she muttered to herself in a voice that only she could hear, "You won't be able to escape this time, Little Stone!"
This woman was the goddess of dreams of the Brave World, He Wanqiu! The superstar He Wanqiu! The mysterious He Wanqiu!
When He Wanqiu found out that she was the goddess of dreams chosen by Dream Entertainment for their special event, she booked a flight to Shuangqing City. However, due to the need to keep it a secret, she specially chose a midnight flight.
After arriving in Shuangqing City, He Wanqiu didn't stop at Beiyu District. Instead, she prepared to head directly to Shuanghu District. She knew that Dream Entertainment's headquarters was in Shuanghu District. She also knew that Shi Lei was in Shuanghu District.
Outside the terminal, a middle-aged woman stood beside a commercial vehicle. He Wanqiu walked directly to the middle-aged woman and said, "Sister Su, sorry to keep you waiting!"
The middle-aged woman's name was Su Ying. She was the person He Wanqiu's family had arranged to take care of her in Shuangqing City. Su Ying used to be a member of a female special forces unit. After retiring, she had been serving He Wanqiu's family.
"You're welcome, Miss Wanqiu." Su Ying had served He Wanqiu's family for more than ten years. She had practically watched He Wanqiu grow up. The two of them were very close.
He Wanqiu said unhappily, "Sister Su, just call me Wanqiu!"
A rare smile appeared on Su Ying's serious face. She opened the door of the commercial vehicle. "Wanqiu, hurry up and get in. I've already booked a hotel in Shuanghu District."
Dongguang Province, Shenzhen City, Penguin Company's headquarters.
It was close to midnight, but Penguin Company's president, Ma Huateng, still hadn't rested. In order to deal with Dream Entertainment and suppress the Hero's World, Ma Huateng had spared no effort.
Originally, Ma Huateng had roped in Xia Xia's other five top gaming companies to deal with Dream Entertainment together. He still felt that it wasn't safe. Hence, Ma Huateng came up with a plan to seek outside help.
In 7552, Penguin Company's scale had begun to reach the level of a dominant company. Penguin Company had very close ties with some game developers in Nanchao.
Nanchao's game development technology was better than Xia Xia's, but Nanchao's population was too small. They didn't have the market to expand their online entertainment industry unless they could be like Dream Entertainment and launch a global service online game.
However, the technical requirements for a global service were very high. Without the support of IWN's Secret Network, Dream Entertainment's global service would be a joke!
Although Nanchao's online entertainment market wasn't very good, their technology was really good. In such a small country, the peak strength of the hacker world was only slightly weaker than Xia Xia's. Moreover, it wasn't by much. Although the peak strength of Xia Xia's hacker world was stronger than Nanchao's, it was absolutely impossible for them to crush Nanchao.
Ma Huateng's Penguin Company maintained very close ties with some of Nanchao's online technology companies. In particular, some online game development companies relied on Penguin Company for their livelihood.
When Ma Huateng sought out these companies for help, the companies in Nanchao agreed without hesitation because Penguin Company's interests were their own interests. They agreed to attack Dream Entertainment together with Ma Huateng's alliance!
