Chapter 423: Chapter 423: Adding New Industries Again

"Listening to the voice alone, without looking at the person..." Ella murmured, then exclaimed sincerely, "This model is so novel. It completely jumps out of the current vicious circle of homogenized talent shows. With zero appearance bias and a focus on talent as king, the topic potential alone is enough to ignite the entire United States."

"It is more than that." Irene Coppola took the opportunity to throw out the core sincerity to bind with CAA, her smile calm, "I can explicitly promise you that all the outstanding contestants, popular new stars, and potential singers who break through in this program will be given priority to sign with CAA."

"Echo Pictures is responsible for production, exposure, star-making, and traffic attraction, helping newcomers gain popularity across the entire internet and build name recognition; CAA is fully responsible for subsequent artist packaging, business docking, resource promotion, and career planning. We will continuously supply you with fresh blood for the music scene; this is a long-term and stable star-making assembly line."

Ella’s breath hitched, the regret in his heart completely vanished, replaced by a huge surprise.

Compared to the single, limited director agency commission, this sustainable, scalable, and low-cost star-making channel is the top-tier resource that can truly solidify CAA’s industry position and ensure continuous profitability.

Before Ella could calm his emotions, Irene Coppola threw out another blockbuster, completely stabilizing the cooperation pattern between the two sides.

"Besides this, I have another supporting layout." Irene Coppola said softly, "I plan to cooperate with Britney Spears to jointly establish a brand new professional record company."

Ella was completely moved, his eyes full of amazement.

"Cooperate with Britney to establish a record company? Irene, I really did not misjudge you; your vision has never been limited to film and television."

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." Irene Coppola explained lightly, "I can help Britney create singles, produce albums, and refresh chart records, but that is only temporary help. However, establishing an exclusive record company can allow her to upgrade from a top singer to an industry capital holder and a helmsman of the track. She is the recognized spokesperson for the American Dream, with an irreplaceable national popularity. She can completely rely on this company to extend her professional peak and raise her personal honor and industry discourse power to another level."

This is the best way she can help her friend completely change the ending of her past life; only by becoming capital can one jump out of the vicious circle of capital, and obtaining the right to speak is the beginning of her truly controlling her own life.

Ella had now completely let go of all personal obsessions, filled with optimism and anticipation for the new project.

He completely adjusted his mindset, no longer struggling with the gains and losses of agency authority, and devoted himself entirely to the discussion of the project’s implementation, his tone becoming increasingly serious.

"This ’The Voice’ has infinite potential; the competition format is novel and the conception is pure; it will definitely be a hit." Ella said firmly, "However, the upper limit of a music variety show ultimately depends on the mentor lineup. With Britney sitting in, the foundation is absolutely stable, but the accompanying mentors must balance strength, national popularity, and variety show sense to support the quality and heat of the entire season’s program."

After speaking, Ella, relying on his top-tier connections cultivated in the industry for many years, immediately sorted out suitable candidates and recommended them one by one with clear logic, covering veteran music kings, powerful hall-of-fame singers, and new-generation singers with both traffic and singing skills, with a distinct combination that balances professionalism and popularity.

Irene Coppola listened carefully, silently remembering all the candidates, then looked up at Ella, her tone sincere and firm.

"The quality of the candidates you recommended is very high, and the suitability is sufficient. You can list a list for me according to your ideas, but the final mentor lineup will be communicated and checked by me personally with Britney, and finalized in combination with schedules, tacit understanding, and program positioning. However, all the cooperation promises I made today absolutely count. The rule that new program artists are given priority to sign with CAA will not have any changes; you can be completely assured."

Hearing this, Ella completely let go of all concerns, a relieved and genuine smile appearing on his face.

"With your words, I am completely at ease. Next, for television station resource docking, program pre-preparation, and connection clearing, CAA will fully cooperate."

At this point, this meeting, which originally revolved around "personal agency authority," was completely upgraded in quality.

Irene Coppola appeared to have rejected Ella’s personal demands, but instead reached a top-tier industrial alliance with CAA through a complete variety show star-making system and record company layout.

Ella Walker also left the Echo Pictures office with satisfaction, preparing to write down all the candidates he thought of today after returning, determined not to miss this project.

After Irene Coppola reached a deep industrial cooperation with Ella Walker, finalizing the two-way commitment for "The Voice" and the brand new record company, Echo Pictures’ media channel expansion plan was quickly implemented and advanced.

According to the agreement between the two sides, Ella had opened up the connection path for Irene Coppola in advance, personally greeting the management of that mature local second- or third-tier television station that intended to transfer, clearly conveying the sincerity of cooperation and capital background.

Subsequently, Robert Smith, representing Irene Coppola with full authority, in his capacity as the highest person in charge of Echo Pictures, officially docked with the capital side belonging to the television station and started the business negotiation for a full buyout.

Thanks to the connection foundation laid by Ella in advance, the negotiation process between the two sides was exceptionally smooth, without any cumbersome processes of capital tug-of-war, exorbitant price hikes, or clause games.

The other party was already anxious to strip away offline heavy assets and withdraw cash flow, and had long made up their mind to sell the television station business.

They were just cautiously screening for a reliable, capable, and reputable successor to avoid falling into the hands of speculative capital, which would lead to the destruction of the television station’s reputation cultivated for many years.

And Echo Pictures, backed by Irene Coppola, a top Hollywood director, holding multiple hit IPs, with strong capital, steady style, and long-term layout, was the most perfect successor in their eyes.

After several rounds of routine qualification verification, capital confirmation, asset inventory, and clause consultation, the two sides quickly reached an agreement, and the signing process was completed in one go.

From the initial docking negotiation to the complete transfer and delivery, the whole process took a very short time, with almost no extra entanglements.

At this point, Irene Coppola officially added a local cable television station fully and directly controlled by her personally, possessing a complete broadcasting license, a mature production team, a full set of hardware equipment, and compliant broadcasting channels, laying a solid hardware foundation for subsequent variety show production, drama output, and full-domain content distribution.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was approaching Irene Coppola’s birthday.

Just in time, Britney’s global concert tour, which had taken a long time, officially concluded successfully, ending the non-stop stage schedule, and finally freeing up complete time to participate in the preparation of the new project.

Taking this opportunity, a core closed-door meeting regarding the establishment of the new record company was officially held in the top-floor conference room of Echo Pictures.

The attendees were only four core decision-makers: Irene Coppola, the leader of the project layout; Britney, who was about to become the core sign of the record company; Robert Smith, who coordinated the project implementation and business negotiations; and Jean Williams, the exclusive financial advisor who had been managing all of Irene Coppola’s assets, controlling financial risks, and planning the capital structure for many years.
