Chapter 37 Mr. Wu, please sign a contract with us!
Signing a contract with an MCN company is definitely beneficial, at least in terms of personal promotion and image packaging, people are professional, and products are brought with goods, and various business activities can be arranged, which is better than finding it alone.
But Zhang Xiaodong's face that day made Wu Li deeply aware of one point: once he signed a contract with the company, he was likely to become a commodity and lose his autonomy.
So this made Wu Li a little entangled, signing a contract with the company, his popularity will definitely rise faster, and popularity means fan value, but he is worried that some of the company's arrangements will go against his will after signing the contract, which will be very disgusting.
Looking at the dozen business cards in front of him and the information constantly received on his mobile phone, Wu Li had to sigh: I have endured pressure that I shouldn't bear at this age.
In the end, Wu Li decided to talk to these companies first, what if others were willing to give enough autonomy?
But it is definitely impossible to talk to all the companies, Wu Li picked up his mobile phone and began to check the information, he wanted to choose a few of the most powerful.
Lemon Culture, among its Internet celebrity artists, there are three Internet celebrities with more than 20 million fans, and two of them used to be phenomenal Internet celebrities, with a market value of more than 1000 million, ranking in the top three in the rankings of various MCN institutions.
Peak Entertainment, which has a top Internet celebrity with more than 50 million fans, although it is a little outdated now, it is also a banner, and there are seven or eight Internet celebrities with fans between 8 million and 15 million, with a high degree of activity and a good ability to attract money, so this company has face.
Lemon Culture and Summit Entertainment are two MCN companies with strong capital found by Wu Li, with sufficient funds for the promotion of its artists, and both have top Internet celebrities.
In addition to these two, Wu Li also found a relatively weak, but full of sharp company, Qingteng Media.
Qingteng Media has created several Internet celebrities in the past six months, all with their own characteristics, with between 5 million and 10 million fans, and they are all continuing to increase their fans. This shows that this company has an excellent star-making system, and the executor has a good vision.
Wu Li decided to have a good talk with the people of these three companies tomorrow, and if Lemon Culture and Summit Entertainment were willing to give him more autonomy, then give priority to these two.
......
Early the next morning, at a café near the hotel, Wu Li first made an appointment with the agent of Lemon Culture.
"Mr. Wu, this is a brochure of our company, you can take a brief look at it. ”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged woman, wearing glasses and a somewhat arrogant expression.
Wu Li looked at the brochure in his hand roughly, and then looked up at her: "Can you tell me what benefits I can get by signing a contract with your company?"
The other party lifted his glasses and said: "Lemon culture is among the best in all MCN companies, if you sign a contract with us, we will tailor a systematic promotion plan for you to ensure that your popularity rises quickly to a higher level, in addition, you should also see in the brochure, our company and many high-end brands have cooperation, you can promote these products and get a share, the specific share ratio and promotion plan we can go to the company to discuss in detail." ”
Wu Li nodded, in fact, all MCN companies are similar, the difference is only in the promotion methods and resources, and his focus is not this, "May I ask, if in the future cooperation, the company's development plan for me conflicts with my personal wishes, what will I do?"
The agent of Lemon Culture frowned when he heard this, and looked at Wu Li calmly: "The company must be more professional in the promotion of artists, the starting point of all of us is to make you develop better, this is not a conflict, if there is really any objection, we will explain it to you in detail." ”
"Then what if I still stick to my own ideas after explaining?" Wu Li looked directly at the other party.
The corners of the female agent's mouth turned up, and she seemed to be a little disdainful, but she quickly reined in, "Since the company spent a lot of resources on you in the early stage, the follow-up development plan will definitely not be changed easily." ”
Wu Li nodded, and the other party's meaning was obvious: the company spent money on you, so you have to be obedient.
In the eyes of the other party, Wu Li is not regarded as a real object of cooperation, and it can be seen from the attitude that he is a little condescending.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, although after last night's live broadcast, the number of fans of Wu Li's magic voice account has now reached 4.63 million, and the number of fans has increased by millions overnight, but this kind of thing is nothing to Lemon Culture, many Internet celebrities with more fans than Wu Li are begging to sign a contract with Lemon Culture, so in the eyes of this female agent, she took the initiative to find Wu Li to give him face, where is Wu Li qualified to put forward conditions?
"Understood, thank you for your appreciation of me. Wu Li said calmly.
The female agent looked at Wu Li with some surprise: "You mean, you don't plan to sign with us?"
"Yes. Wu Li nodded.
"What do you want?"
"Autonomy. ”
"No way. ”
"I see. ”
“...... Good. ”
The female agent nodded, the most basic qualities were still there, and she didn't export sarcasm or forcibly slap her face, but simply got up and left.
Next, Wu Li made an appointment with the agent of Summit Entertainment, although the other party's attitude was better than that of Lemon Culture, but when it came to the issue of autonomy, the attitude was still very resolute: it was impossible for the company to allow its artists to dictate its specific operations.
"Hey. Wu Li sighed, he is still not popular enough, and the two big companies are unwilling to give him autonomy, if he is already a top Internet celebrity or a celebrity with great influence before signing a contract with them, then talking to them about autonomy will definitely not be the result as it is now.
Wu Li regained his mood and was ready to meet with the people of Qingteng Media, he deliberately put this company at the end, because he had the greatest hope for this company, after all, Qingteng Media is not as strong as the other two big companies, and now the momentum is fierce, and some potential newcomers are needed to help them improve their status, if they are really optimistic about Wu Li, maybe they are willing to give a certain degree of autonomy.
It's a pity that an hour later, Wu Li regretfully bid farewell to the agent of Qingteng Culture.
He is still too optimistic, even a company like Qingteng Culture has a very strict control over autonomy, and he is unwilling to give it to artists easily.
"Do you really want to fight alone?" Wu Li rubbed his temples.
"Hello Mr. Wu. ”
At this moment, a voice interrupted Wu Li's contemplation, and when he looked up, it was a somewhat handsome boy, who seemed to be about the same age as himself.
"You are?"
"I am the chairman of Boyuan Culture Media Co., Ltd. The other party said politely.
Chairman, so young, Wu Li looked surprised.
"Mr. Wu, please sign a contract with us!" the boy suddenly clasped his fists at Wu Li and saluted.
