Chapter 123 Establishing a New Company

"I haven't done a live broadcast for more than a year. I decided to start broadcasting again this time because of the encouragement and support from my friends. I also received many private messages from fans. Thank you for your company and concern."

"A friend once told me that when you want to leave, don't leave hungry, don't leave feeling wronged, and don't leave crying. It's not good for the person who leaves like this, and it's not good for the person who didn't keep the person."

“So now, I’m back.”

Nana spoke in front of the camera, gradually relaxing and slowly regaining her previous feeling.

The barrage on the screen kept scrolling:
【Welcome back, Nana-chan! 】

【we support you! 】

【come on! 】

【I like listening to you sing. 】

Of course, there are also some unfriendly and sarcastic remarks.

However, after Chen Mo had someone send out a dozen lawyer's letters, no one was blatantly trying to stir up trouble or throw dirty water anymore, and the overall atmosphere in the live broadcast room was still good.

"Okay, without further ado, let's follow the old rules and sing first."

“What I bring to you today is a new song written by a friend of mine.”

"This song is in a style I haven't sung before, but I like it very much. It's what I want to say now that I'm back again."

"I'm giving you a song called 'Wild Child'. I hope you like it."

Nana looked at Hu Youyu next to her. Hu Youyu nodded in understanding and placed his hands lightly on the electronic piano.

As the piano melody sounded, Nana began to sing softly:

[Why is it that the stronger the wind, the more my heart flutters, like a wisp of dust, dancing freely in the wind]

[I will hold tightly the firm but scattered courage in my hands, I will become a giant, stepping on my strength and dreams]

Nana seemed to be declaring to those who had slandered her:
I'm back. The storm can't knock me down. It will only make me more determined and braver.

[Is it you who will give me a heart and let me move forward bravely?]

[It is you who will give me a window of light, making me fearless]

Nana thought about her friends around her, Da Mai, Xu Hongdou, and Chen Nanxing who rushed back to accompany her, Ma Ye who gave her a talisman when he left the day before yesterday, Chen Mo who helped her plan and write songs for her, and Hu Youyu who was accompanying her at this moment.

It is because of you that she regained her courage and was no longer afraid.

[Blow, blow, my pride and indulgence, blow, blow, but it can’t destroy my pure garden, let the wind blow, let it mess up, what can’t be destroyed is me, the prospect of the end]

[Blow, blow, I am not afraid of being barefoot, blow, blow, it doesn’t matter if it disturbs me, you see I am smiling bravely, you see I am waving bravely]

Nana smiled and sang with a wild and high-spirited voice, fully venting all the depression that had accumulated in her heart over the past year.

After the live broadcast ended, Nana walked out of the yard.

"You sang very well, Nana." Da Mai immediately applauded. "The way you sang just now seemed to be glowing."

"You've been suppressing it in your heart for so long, it must be getting intense." Chen Nanxing joked.

Nana smiled and nodded, "I also want to thank Teacher Hu for her passionate accompaniment."

Hu Youyu waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter. I can't help you with the big things, but small things are no problem. Call me if you need me."

Da Mai clapped his hands excitedly, "I think the two of you can form a group, let's call it the 'Hu La Tang' group."

"What kind of name is that?" Nana laughed.

"I can understand 'Hu', but 'spicy' is because Nana is a hot girl?" Hu Youyu said happily.

Nana glanced at Hu Youyu.

Barley explained: "We don't distinguish between 'n' and 'l'. 'Nana' sounds like 'La La'."

"That's great. After the B&B opens, you can come and perform from time to time." Xu Hongdou supported.

"Mr. Xu, you really don't forget to think about B&B now." Nana said with a smile.

"Of course." Xu Hongdou raised her eyebrows, "Don't forget that you also have shares, Mr. Lin."

"We don't have a flower path, only a path to the guest room, a path to the kitchen, and a path to the sewer."

Nana's real name is Lin Na.

"I have made up my mind to endure hardships and become a successful person." Nana clenched her fist to encourage herself.

"According to the theory that you are what you eat, you can't become a superior person by enduring hardships, but you can by eating people." Chen Mo said slowly.

"Don't use this capitalist theory to harm our aspirations for progress." Xu Hongdou patted Chen Mo.

"Wow, boss, you are so cruel. Can you please not count what I said a few days ago?" Nana said sadly.

The marketing and public relations that Chen Mo planned for Nana made Nana realize that the situation that had previously left her helpless was not as scary as it seemed.

Of course, Nana knew that this was because Chen Mo had mobilized the team and resources of a large entertainment company.

Otherwise, if it were me, even if I knew what to do, I wouldn’t be able to launch such an efficient and accurate counterattack.

So Nana thought that "it's nice to take shelter under a big tree" and asked Chen Mo whether the company would sign a contract as an anchor.

Nana had never thought about joining an entertainment company before, mainly because she didn’t understand or trust the company and was afraid of being cheated.

On the one hand, Nana trusts Chen Mo, and on the other hand, she has learned about the reputation of Fuyun Entertainment, so she feels more at ease.

On the other hand, after a year in Yunmiao Village, Nana saw the poverty there and had some other ideas.

Nana thinks that in addition to singing, she can also do some charity live broadcasts to sell unsaleable agricultural products and help people like Aunt Feng.

This obviously requires the logistical support of a team and cannot be accomplished alone.

Chen Mo was also a little surprised to learn about Nana's thoughts.

However, short video content operation and live streaming are indeed a hot trend now.

Chen Mo thought about it carefully and realized that many of his friends were involved.

Like Jiang Congwen before, Nana now, and Chen Nanxing’s store visits.

Even when Hu Youyu was singing in a bar, he would actually live broadcast it.

But compared with the first three, Hu Youyu's live broadcast room is relatively bleak, and it is good enough to have one or two hundred people watching.

In fact, people like Hu Youyu are the norm. Relying on personal exploration involves a lot of luck.

So after hearing what Nana said, Chen Mo also had some ideas.

Chen Mo does not plan to sign Nana directly to Fuyun Entertainment.

Fuyun Entertainment is a relatively traditional media company that mainly invests in, produces and distributes film and television works.

Although there is an agent business, celebrities, artists, actors, singers, anchors, bloggers, and internet celebrities obviously do not have the same management model, and their development paths are also completely different.

Therefore, Chen Mo plans to set up an MCN company independently and take this opportunity to explore new development space in the field of short videos and live streaming e-commerce.

Simply put, MCN is a company that helps contracted bloggers or anchors to continuously output and monetize content.

These include a series of chains such as the screening and incubation of internet celebrities, content development, platform resource docking, event operation, commercialization and monetization, and development of personal IP.

Platforms like these will have different support resources for MCN organizations.

Every month, the platform will provide MCN organizations with task packages. By completing the requirements of the task packages, they can obtain corresponding support resources, allowing the works of their talents to have higher exposure, traffic and revenue.

These support resources are generally only for MCN organizations and are not accessible to individuals.

Of course, in MCN companies, these resources will only be given to anchors or bloggers with high internal rankings.

As for newcomers who don’t have many fans, they are basically left alone and only given resources after they have made achievements.

Otherwise, where do a certain agency, which claims to have 100,000 signed artists, get so many resources?

Therefore, before your account is established, it doesn’t make much difference whether you sign with an MCN company or not. Even if you sign with an MCN company, they will not guide you step by step in setting up your account. You still have to rely on yourself.

After your account is established, if you want better ways and channels for commercial monetization, it’s not too late to consider joining a professional MCN company.

"It's too late. You've been singing my songs in the live broadcast room. Be careful or I'll sue you for copyright infringement." Chen Mo said with a straight face.

When Nana heard what Chen Mo said, her eyes widened: "Didn't you ask me to sing this song?"

"Did I say that? Where is the evidence? Is there an authorization agreement?" Chen Mo asked "puzzledly".

Using sound recordings in live webcasts is also a commercial activity because the host receives tips and earns income, and copyright fees must be paid.

In copyright, live broadcast charging types are divided into background music use, karaoke and e-commerce live broadcast use.

Different types have different charging standards, which are charged on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.

For example, it costs 100 yuan per year to use it as background music, 300 yuan per year for karaoke, and 10000 yuan per year for e-commerce live streaming.

This includes using the BGM in videos. If the music used is from the platform’s music library, then the platform has obtained authorization.

It’s fine to use and post anything on this platform, but it may not be the case on other platforms.

If the platform does not have the music library, it is actually considered infringement. However, if the volume is small and inconspicuous, no one will pursue you.

But you have to be careful if you have a lot of fans and are eye-catching. Previously, a game anchor with tens of millions of fans sang a song in the live broadcast room and was sued by the copyright owner for 10 yuan.

"Sure enough, people's hearts are evil."

Nana sighed and complained to Xu Hongdou: "Hongdou, take care of this unscrupulous capitalist in your family."

Xu Hongdou hugged Chen Mo's arm and said with a smile: "I'm the boss's wife. Do you think I'm the right person to ask for help?"

"All the money I earn goes to my wife. Did you find the wrong person?" Chen Mo asked in confusion.

"Hongdou, you actually..." Nana was tragically betrayed.

"It's over, Nana, you've fallen into a den of thieves." Damai said sympathetically.

"Yeah." Nana nodded pitifully and was about to reach out for comfort: "Da Mai~~"

Then Da Mai changed the subject and asked, "Nana, if you are sold, can you leave your mask to me?"

"I want hand cream." Chen Nanxing immediately raised his hand.

"Is there any moisturizing product? My face has been a little dry lately." Hu Youyu touched his face.

"You, you guys." Nana pointed at everyone with an "incredible" look on her face and smiled bitterly.

"I didn't expect that I would end up being deserted by everyone."

[For all the pain of love, for all the pain of hate, I can no longer distinguish between love and hate, is this it?]

[Blood and tears fell together, my heart was broken by the wind, but my trembling hands could not stop, I could not forgive]

Chen Mo also composed the "affectionate" music for this bloody plot.

Everyone turned around and looked at Chen Mo silently.

"Ahem, sorry, I was too into the role." Chen Mo coughed lightly and smiled awkwardly.

"It's quite nice to listen to, but I think it's more suitable for a female singer," Nana commented.

"Indeed." Chen Mo nodded, "I'll write it and sing it for you when the time comes."

Nana's eyes lit up, "Thank you, boss."

Who doesn’t want to have their own original song when singing a cover?

"Nana, you were so indignant just now, where is your integrity?" Hu Youyu teased.

"There's nothing I can do. The pie in the sky painted by the capitalists is too tempting." Nana spread her hands.

"Besides, I'm going to sell myself, so I have to ask for a higher price."

"Your bottom line is really flexible." Hu Youyu sighed.

Nana raised her eyebrows and smiled: "As long as the salary is in place, everything the boss said is right."

"The boss has to listen to the boss's wife." Chen Mo added.

"Haha." Everyone laughed.

Xu Hongdou looked at Chen Mo with amusement, but her eyes were full of gentle love.

The weather is clear and the breeze is gentle.

Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou were busy in the yard.

Xu Hongdou was comparing and selecting some supplies that needed to be purchased for the homestay.

Chen Mo began to instruct the people from BJ Company to register the MCN company, while looking through the talent information given by the headhunters.

He needs to recruit a professional manager to help manage the business so that the company framework can be established in the shortest possible time.

At this time, Aunt Agui came to the yard briskly, carrying two large bags of things.

Chen Mo looked up and greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Gui, you are back from Qingdao? How was your trip?"

Recently, it is Aunt Feng who comes to the courtyard to clean every day. After asking, Chen Mo found out that Aunt Agui was finally taken to Qingdao by her son, and nothing went wrong this time.

"I'm back, I'm back." Aunt Agui couldn't hide her smile, "The seafood in Qingdao is so delicious, I can't finish it."

"Really? Just hearing that makes me want to go." Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Look what I brought you, squid, dried fish, dried shrimps, and scallops." Aunt Agui took out one bag at a time.

"It's too much, Aunt Agui, please keep it for yourself." Xu Hongdou said with a smile.

"It's okay, I have more. I also brought some for Baoping and Ah Feng. Everyone has one." Aunt Agui was very enthusiastic.

"Aunt Agui, are you used to living in Qingdao?" Chen Mo asked.

"I'm used to it. I'm very used to it. My house in Dayang is very big."

Aunt Agui started talking all of a sudden.

"In the past few days, I have become familiar with the vegetable markets and supermarkets near the community. I also know which children in the community are married, where they work, and how much they earn."

"It's a pity that you don't do intelligence work." Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh.

"Aunt Agui, why don't you stay for two more days?" Xu Hongdou asked.

"Hey, your uncle Zeqing can't get used to living here. He always says he has nothing to do and is thinking about the horses at the ranch, so we came back."

Aunt Agui shook her head in disdain and said, "He is just like a wild boar that cannot eat fine bran."

"Aunt Agui has a strong ability to adapt." Xu Hongdou couldn't help laughing.

When Aunt Agui heard this, the wrinkles on her face that were caused by her smile deepened a little.

"Okay, let's not talk too much for now. I heard that Xie Qiang is back, and I have to go to Ah Feng's house to check on him."

Aunt Agui said this and left in a hurry.

Aunt Feng’s son Xie Qiang was released from prison a few days ago.

Originally, Aunt Feng wanted to send Xie Qiang to the city to find a job so that he wouldn't be criticized in the village.

But under Xie Zhiyao's persuasion, Aunt Feng's family held a banquet and openly told the neighbors, relatives and friends that her son had turned over a new leaf and returned to the right path.

Although gossip was inevitable in the future, now that all the close people had met at once, Xie Qiang had gotten over the most embarrassing hurdle in his heart.

"Aunt Gui, please slow down."

Looking at Aunt Agui's anxious figure, Chen Mo shouted.

"Don't worry, it's very stable."

When Aunt Agui's voice came, the person had disappeared.

Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou couldn't help but smile at each other.

Aunt Agui is indeed warm and kind, although she can be a little "noisy" sometimes.

Xu Hongdou took the things Aunt Agui brought to the kitchen and put them away, then came behind Chen Mo and lay on his shoulder.

Chen Mo could feel the softness of her back and the fragrance of her hair falling lightly beside her face.

"Have you chosen the bathroom?" Chen Mo touched Xu Hongdou's head.

"I've made my selection. I've decided to use high-end, well-known brands, including bedding and toiletries. Good quality ones too. These are the key points in improving customer experience." Xu Hongdou nodded slightly.

“Is the budget enough?”

"That's enough. It might have been a bit tight before, but now that Nana has joined in, the budget is much more sufficient."

"Okay, if it's not enough, tell me and don't force yourself." Chen Mo reminded.

"Okay." Xu Hongdou nodded and smiled.

"Don't just say it, you have to take it from your heart." Chen Mo scratched Xu Hongdou's nose.

"I know~~"

Xu Hongdou wrinkled her nose slightly, which was very cute.

"Hey, let me show you the furniture I chose."

"Okay, let me take a look."

"I plan to choose cherry or beech. Walnut and teak are too expensive."

Xu Hongdou expressed her thoughts while demonstrating, "The texture of wood is not much different, but the price is several times higher."

Chen Mo nodded in agreement and said, "Well, ride a bicycle to the bar and focus on saving where you should save and spending where you should spend."

"What a misleading description you gave me. I'm spending my money wisely." Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes.

"Same, the words are rough but the truth is true."
