There are many well-known music production companies in the United States, including Warner Music, Universal Music, Sony Music, etc., which are all leaders in the field of music production. Each of them is a giant company with a market value of billions of dollars, and its reputation is known throughout the world.
However, there are many more unknown small music production companies with only a dozen employees.
They are scattered across the United States like stars.
B17 boy!
It is such a small music production company.
It was founded in 1992 and is located in the Burbank area. It has a complete record sales channel in California, employs more than 30 people, 5 singers, owns the copyrights to more than 130 songs, and has a relatively complete internal structure.
"One price, $2 million!"
Faced with Kyle's tycoon-like acquisition behavior, the people from B17 Boys Music Company originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to take advantage of the opportunity to sell at a high price.
But who is Kyle?
He is a notoriously stingy person!
It can also let you cheat!
Besides, if you don't sell it, then the countless music companies in America will rush to your door to buy it!
Less than two days later, B17 Boys Music Production Company surrendered.
B17 Boys Music was officially renamed Golden Dawn Music and became a subsidiary of Golden Dawn Entertainment Group.
"Boss, it seems that you are still in a hurry this time. Otherwise, if you just delay for a few days, you can acquire B17 Boys Music for less than 1.5 million US dollars." Lawyer Paul said.
Urgent?
Can you not be anxious?!
The stage of "America's Got Talent" now has Eminem and Beyoncé, two future world-class singers!
It can be called a walking dollar!
Once their influence spreads, they'll inevitably throw themselves into the arms of big companies if they get the green light. There's no doubt about that. People tend to rise, and water flows to the bottom.
To make wedding clothes for others?
This is not Kyle's style!
Kyle has experienced the ups and downs of life in his past life. The small peasant mentality has been deeply rooted in his bones. He is the kind of person who would rather make less money and hope to hold on to his piece of land.
How can we let others enjoy the benefits of the talented people who came out of our show?
Of course, with his newly established music production company, Kyle didn't expect to bring all the outstanding singers from the "Got Talent" stage into his company. As long as he could hold on to Eminem and Beyoncé, it would be completely sufficient.
Hehe!
Do you think they will choose to sign the contract?
Do I have to tell you that there is a kind of operation called a behind-the-scenes operation?
As the producer of the program, Kyle has many tricks to make them sign the contract willingly.
If you don't sign the contract, aren't you afraid of being eliminated?
There's an even more disgusting trick, which is to cut out all the footage of you participating in the competition!
As for bottom line and moral integrity, what are those things?!
Really.
The day before the "America's Got Talent" show officially started.
Eminem and several other members of the group Destiny's Child, including Beyoncé, have all signed contracts and joined Golden Dawn Music.
"Congratulations! From today on, you are officially signed artists of Golden Dawn Music. We promise to produce a tailor-made album for you within the next six months."
The signing representative of Golden Dawn Music is Victor, the CEO of the head office.
Although Kyle did not show up in person, with Victor's current identity and status, he is fully capable of handling the matter.
His words are effective.
Of course, the promise here also came from Kyle's instruction.
Victor himself has also watched the editing content of the first episode of "Talent Show", and he is also very optimistic about Eminem's future development; well,
As for Beyoncé's group Destiny's Child, Victor is also confident that with the power of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group and the "Got Talent" platform, he can build them into a new generation of female pop music groups.
"Boss, mission accomplished."
After signing the contract, Victor called Kyle immediately to inform him.
Upon hearing this, Kyle was naturally overjoyed.
How can I not be happy?
Man, that's Eminem and Beyoncé!
When I think about their future achievements and outstanding record sales, a large amount of dollars will certainly come to me!
Even though the contract is only for 6 years, it is enough.
"After all, they're talented young people. They can't be suppressed. A shorter contract would make them more marketable. Of course, even if they sign a long-term contract, given their talent, they'll be poached by other companies. We might end up in court over contract disputes, which would be extremely unpleasant."
Kyle murmured.
Now that the person has signed the contract, Kyle will have to pay attention.
At that moment, Kyle instructed Victor to recruit more behind-the-scenes music talents to join the music company and to expand its scale in a short period.
....
May 15, 1997.
Night.
When the new episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants" is finished, "America's Got Talent" produced by UPN TV officially starts!
Countless viewers have been waiting impatiently in front of their TVs, waiting for the show to be broadcast;
At the same time, many colleagues in the television industry are also paying attention to the situation of "America's Got Talent".
Fox TV.
Logan, the director of the variety channel department, did not go home after getting off work, but watched "America's Got Talent" directly in the office. His assistant Concado was also here.
"Director, do we need to pay so much attention to this?" Assistant Concado said contemptuously.
Kangkado is full of disdain for "America's Got Talent".
After all, they are Fox, one of the four major TV stations in North America!
"Snort!"
Logan snorted coldly, "Concado, put away your arrogance. Don't you know that any contempt and arrogance before seeing the official show is the behaviour of a fool? The ratings report for the five pilot episodes of 'Got Talent' has already shown that it is an excellent program. Are you saying this to belittle UPN or my professional vision?"
"Well...!"
Assistant Concado was speechless for a moment.
This is how big companies are. There are a lot of talented people, but there are also a lot of people who are just sitting there doing nothing.
The show "America's Got Talent" officially airs.
Host Will Smith is here!
At this moment, the audience watching the show was immediately looking forward to it.
Man, that's Will, who is very famous in America after all!
Next, three judges who have achieved great success in their respective fields came on stage. They played pranks on Will and made many viewers smile.
However, none of this matters!
The show's theme song "Sold Out" sung by Will Smith, and "My Name Is" sung by Eminem, who was the first to appear on stage, instantly blew up the whole audience!
Especially Eminem, his rap performance completely stunned many audiences!
"Oh my God!"
"Is his mouth a machine gun? How can he rap like many black singers?"
"Besides, he sings so well!"
"Man, didn't you see his cold gaze that seemed to devour you when he was singing? Don't you think it's cool?!"
There is no doubt that in just one song, Eminem conquered a large number of audiences, especially young audiences, with his outstanding performance.
Eminem's performance also made the audience in front of the TV more and more excited.
The next person to appear was the ventriloquist.
He used ventriloquism to prank the judges and successfully made the audience laugh.
Next, various talents came on stage one after another. No matter whether they were talents with real abilities or those whose programs were deliberately pre-selected by the program crew as "distinctive" and "morally damaging" ones, they were all loved by the audience.
As one of the program producers, UPN TV CEO Ms. Donna is always paying attention to the program's ratings. When she sees the number of viewers continuing to climb, even though she is calm, she becomes excited.
Was it successful?
Certainly!
When the new episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants" ended, the number of viewers was 15 million, but when the first episode of "America's Got Talent" was broadcast, the number inevitably dropped a lot.
After all, "SpongeBob SquarePants" is the ace animated series in America today. How can it be compared with any new program?
However, when "America's Got Talent" was halfway through its broadcast, the previously declining viewership began to rise.
Moreover, the ratings continue to climb!
"Boss, it's not a problem for the first live broadcast to reach over 15 million viewers!"
When Donna called Kyle, Kyle could hear the excitement in her tone.
She was thrilled, and so was Kyle.
Although the ratings and audience numbers observed at the moment may not be very accurate, and we need to wait for the results from professional observation companies tomorrow, judging from the current observations alone, "America's Got Talent" is clearly on a pace to have explosive ratings!
Really.
The next day.
When Kyle got the results from a professional ratings monitoring company, the average ratings for the first episode of "America's Got Talent" reached 2.7%, and the peak ratings reached 3.2%.
Among the many variety shows broadcast yesterday, "America's Got Talent" ranked first in ratings.
In other words, "America's Got Talent" successfully topped the list after only the first episode had aired.
The moment they learned the results, both TV viewers and TV colleagues did not doubt the future glory of "America's Got Talent"!
