231. New contracts

Li Xiang finally decided to send a text message to Liu Jingyi, apologizing for the trouble caused her.

There is no doubt that she must have known how the scandal came about through her own channels.

Li Xiang didn't have Liu Jingyi's phone, only her Weibo, so she could only send a message through a private message on Weibo.

After chatting with Zhou Ni for a while, Li Xiang said: "The scandal is still troublesome Aunt Zhou, be sure to make it clear to some people, I have the same attitude as Aunt Zhou, I hate this kind of hype, I don't object to the company using it, but don't use it on me, if there is a next time, it will not be easily revealed like this time." ”

Thinking of having a scandal behind his back, Li Xiang felt very uncomfortable.

He wanted to rush to Li Zifan's office to question him, but after thinking about it, he held back. He is an artist, and it is inconvenient to say such tough words directly to the company, these things and these words are more appropriate for the agent to do, and there is a buffer in the middle.

After Li wanted to leave, Zhou Ni came to Li Zifan's office. Li Zifan was talking to the people under him, and when he saw Zhou Ni, he seemed to know that the person who came was not good, and after dismissing the people, he closed the door and said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, I heard that Li Xiang is back, and I was about to congratulate him, "My Ideal" is a big hit, and I got rid of Zhou Xingda and Dong Sanbi, now Dong Sanbi should die......

He said a lot, and the meaning of his words was that Li Xiang's music album achieved gratifying results, and after being chased by Dong Sanbi and Zhou Xingda for two weeks, he finally got rid of the gap and took the lead, which is very remarkable.

This sounds like congratulating Li Xiang, but in fact, it is a turn to imply that he has done a lot of work in it, and he is euphemistically showing his merits.

What he means is that at the beginning, Li Xiang did not have much of a gap with Zhou Xingda and Dong Sanbi, on the contrary, three days a week, Dong Sanbi's album sales exceeded Li Xiang, but, under his planning and publicity, Li Xiang finally opened up the gap with them, and now looking at the situation, the basic overall situation has been decided, and Dong Sanbi can't catch up.

Zhou Ni let him say without interjecting.

Li Zifan saw that Zhou Ni's face was expressionless and he didn't say anything, and gradually realized that it was not good, it seemed that his careful thoughts were useless, so he stopped weakly, thought about it, and said simply: "I'm sorry Sister Zhou, I did something wrong this time, I sincerely apologize to you, please ignore the villain, forgive me this time, I was also forced to be helpless." ”

He had confessed to Zhou Ni once before. The day after the scandal came out, Zhou Ni knew that it was the scandal he planned. At that time, Li Zifan knew that he couldn't get rid of it, so he simply told him everything, this thing was asked by Liang Baozhou to do it, and he was also forced to be helpless.

In his opinion, there is no need to cover Liang Baozhou for this matter. If the matter is handled well, it is better to say, now that the matter is in trouble, he does not hesitate to direct the disaster to Liang Baozhou as soon as possible.

Zhou Ni looked at Li Zifan in front of her and understood this person's mind more clearly.

Li Zifan is a person who thinks a lot. He and Zhou Ni have been colleagues for nearly ten years, and they know her style of acting well, and they know that she is very disgusted with scandals. At that time, Li Zifan had not yet become the minister of planning, and was still the leader of the emergency team in the department, and one year Zhou Ni was in charge of Fan Xijie, who was photographed by the paparazzi, behaving intimately with female star Zhang Chuyi, which caused a scandal. At that time, Fan Xijie was just gaining momentum, and it was when he urgently needed exposure, and the emergency team in charge of Li Zifan took over the matter and proposed three different response plans, one of which was to take advantage of the situation and secretly hype up this scandal with half-truths and half-truths to help Fan Xijie expand his popularity.

At that time, Zhang Chuyi's popularity was much greater than Fan Xijie's, and the two met because of filming, and the two played a couple in the play, which was the most suitable for firing CP.

Li Zifan was inclined to take advantage of the hype, but was rejected by Zhou Ni. At that time, Zhou Ni showed great disgust, which made Li Zifan remember it deeply. For so many years, the artist in charge of Zhou Ni has never taken the initiative to hype up the scandal.

This time, Li Zifan knew that Zhou Ni hated it and wanted to do it, on the one hand, at the request of Liang Baozhou, and on the other hand, he thought that maybe Li Xiang would approve of this hype. As long as Li Xiang thinks it's okay, then Zhou Ni won't say anything. As an agent, in the end, he is not serving the artist, and Li Xiang's opinion can influence Zhou Ni.

But now it seems that Li Xiang also hates this way.

Otherwise, Zhou Ni would not have visited again, because he had already apologized once.

Zhou Ni: "It's not me who you should apologize for, but Li Xiang." I said it once, and my attitude also made it clear, I don't want to say it a second time, but this time I came on behalf of Li Xiang, he meant not to hype up such a scandal in the future, he didn't like it, and there was no need, I hope Minister Li must keep it in mind and don't turn around and forget it. ”

Li Zifan nodded again and again: "Sister Zhou, please rest assured, please rest assured Li Xiang, next time I will never do this again, even if there is irresistible strength, I will stick to the end and keep my promise." Although this time the way is wrong, but I, like Sister Zhou, hope that Li Xiang's music album can be a big hit, please believe me Sister Zhou, in the final analysis, my starting point is good, but I did bad things with good intentions. ”

Zhou Ni didn't want to make too much trouble, and said: "Minister Li's ability is obvious to all in the industry, and the artists in the company are willing to believe you. Originally, Li wanted to give you a rich red envelope to express his gratitude, but such a bad thing just happened, so the red envelope must be gone, please understand Minister Li. ”

Li Zifan was smiling on his face, but his heart was dripping blood, how rich is the rich red envelope? Is it good to scare me to death when you say it, e~ or don't say it, otherwise the heart is like a knife, alas, how can you say that it is gone......

"This is how it should be, where can I ask for Li Xiang's red envelope, even if I give it to me, it is my job to plan and publicize, these are what I should do. Eh, Sister Zhou, when is it convenient, I apologize to Li Xiang in person, otherwise even if you forgive me, I will feel guilty in my heart, and I won't be able to pass my own level. Li Zifan said "painfully".

Zhou Ni: "As long as Li wants to be in the company, you can go and apologize to him at any time." If only the person behind you could apologize, so much the better. ”

Zhou Ni said this with sarcasm, in fact, her greater dissatisfaction with this matter is not the scandal itself, but the hype of the scandal behind her back, which is overstepping her duties and not taking her seriously. Although Li Zifan thought a lot, he didn't dare to do it, and it was Liang Baozhou who dared to do it.

Li Zifan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly, isn't the one behind him Liang Baozhou, how can he support Liang Baozhou to apologize to Li Xiang, not only can he not support, but Liang Baozhou, as the executive vice president of the company, how can he apologize to an artist in person, this is impossible. This is why Zhou Ni dares to say that changing to another agent is not a matter of knocking out teeth and swallowing blood.

......

Zhou Ni didn't stay in Li Zifan's office for too long, the meaning was reached, and the purpose of the beating was also reached.

She returned to her office, thought about it, picked up the phone on the desk, dialed the internal line, and connected to Li Peijie from the artist management department, she wanted to ask Li Xiangxin about the contract.

At the end of November last year, Zhou Ni expressed to the company that she needed to prepare a new contract for Li Xiang, and the company said that it would study it, and it was quickly submitted to the company's executive committee for discussion, but unfortunately, Liang Baozhou had just taken office at that time, and expressed different opinions at the meeting.

As the executive vice president in charge of the artist management department, and directly appointed by the parent company, Wang Dang respected his opinion and postponed Li Xiangxin's contract.

After that, Zhou Ni could no longer clearly understand the progress of this matter.

At the end of December, she once again expressed to the company the urgency and importance of upgrading Li Xiang's contract. Now that half a month has passed, there is still no movement in this matter, and Zhou Ni instinctively feels that things cannot be delayed any longer.

She wants to take advantage of the good situation of Li Xiang's music album to urge the company to put this matter in place as soon as possible.

She believes that the company will attach great importance to any problems of Li Xiang, and the huge potential of Seven Times Platinum Records can grow into a pillar of the company in the future.

Miya Entertainment has been established for too short a time, only 10 years, and its background is much worse than that of companies such as Jimei and Yinhuang. This can be seen from the perspective of the pillars alone.

Miya Entertainment's current pillars in music are Ji Yajie and Guo Fengyu. Ji Yajie once got a five-fold platinum record, but since then it has been going downhill, and now he can only be regarded as a first-line singer, unable to gain a foothold in the super first-line.

With such an achievement, it is impossible for an entertainment company of the same grade to become a pillar at all, but there is no substitute for Miya Entertainment.

As for Guo Fengyu, she is in her early 40s. As a female singer, this age has "gone to the general trend". She used to have a very high status in the Chinese music scene, and now she is also very high, but her identity is more like a Taishang elder in a sect, her prestige, status and identity are still there, but the market appeal is no longer good, and she cannot lead Miya Entertainment to charge forward in the music market.

Among the younger generation, the company once wanted to praise Zhang Yin.

Zhang Yin's conditions in all aspects are great, he has good looks, singing skills, typhoons, his public image is also good, versatile, he is still a high-achieving student who graduated from Shengjing University, and he once became famous and rose quickly, attracting many fans, but ......

Zhang Yin actually got married at such a critical moment!

Without telling the company at all, he and his girlfriend who had been in love for 8 years got a certificate and was exposed.

If he is famous, or his popularity has risen and he has a solid foundation, then he will get the certificate, at most he will lose some fans, and he will always make up for it if he manages it well in the future.

But he's just a newcomer.

A rising star who is being packaged and created suddenly changed his identity and became someone else's husband, Zhang Yin, who was in the rising stage of his career, immediately suffered a devastating blow, and the fans who had just gathered fell apart. Until now, the popularity has never been able to rise.

The eyes of the masses are bright, and gold will always be found.

This statement is the biggest lie!

Not only are the eyes of the masses not bright, but they are very blind to follow, once they enter the group, the IQ of the individual plummets, and in order to gain the recognition of the group, they will subconsciously choose to obey the will of the group.

When everyone says that Zhang Yin is bad, others will also subconsciously think that Zhang Yin is not good, even if they may not have known him at all.

Zhang Yin's "personality collapsed", coupled with the fact that he concealed the company from such a major event as marriage, and was finally abandoned by the company and left to fend for himself.

This time, Wang dared to clean up a group of artists who had a vegetarian meal in the corpse, and almost swept Zhang Yin out of the house, but later remembered the past feelings and let him go.

Back then, from Zhang Yin's joining Miya Entertainment, to his rise and decline, Wang Dang participated in the whole process, witnessing him like a meteor and falling. So for him, Wang Dare was a little reluctant.

Zhou Ni has long analyzed the company's current situation and Li Xiang's potential thoroughly, so she concluded that the company will not be involved in the contract.

Sure enough, Li Peijie said on the phone that an updated contract had been drawn up, and invited Zhou Ni to discuss it immediately if she was free now.

Zhou Ni immediately came to Li Peijie's office and got the latest contract that had just been printed.

After a quick glance at the main terms quietly, Zhou Ni put the contract on her lap and tapped her fingers lightly on it, silent.

Li Peijie asked her what she thought.

Zhou Ni put the contract neatly on Li Peijie's desk, and then gently pushed it forward, saying that the contract was not suitable.

Li Xiang's current contract is a D-level contract, that is, a debut artist contract, and the revenue sharing ratio is 3:7, he is 3, and the company is 7.

For a newcomer to the industry, it's already very good.

But there are always exceptions to everything, and for Li Xiang, this contract is obviously not suitable, so it is urgent to upgrade the contract.

The top management of Miya Entertainment obviously sees it this way, but the new contract offered by Li Peijie is also obviously inappropriate.

This contract is a C-level contract, and Zhou Ni and her agents privately call it a small achievement artist contract, and the revenue sharing ratio is 4:6.

Is Li Xiang a moderately accomplished artist now?

His positive image in the mainstream media, his strength on the "Yuefu" 100 list, and his "My Ideal" broke one million in two weeks...... None of them is just a C-level contract.

Not only did the sharing ratio make Zhou Ni dissatisfied, but also the signing period and liquidated damages.

Now the contract term between Li Xiang and Miya Entertainment is 9 years, and the new contract has been increased to 10 years, and the liquidated damages have been increased from the original 20 million to 100 million.

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ni's mouth, Liang Baozhou and Li Peijie discussed for more than a month, and they discussed such a dishonest contract, whether she and Li were too naïve to think about, or they themselves were too naïve.

"Is this what you mean, or what Mr. Liang means?" Zhou Ni asked calmly.

Li Peijie was a little confused about her thoughts, and said: "Mr. Liang participated in the formulation. ”

Zhou Ni nodded, didn't say anything more, got up and left.

Li Peijie watched her open the door and leave in surprise, and the words that were kept came to her mouth, and finally swallowed back.

She was ready to wait for Zhou Ni to bargain, but the other party left without saying a word.

Isn't it true that those who do business all sit on the ground and pay back the money on the ground?

What she didn't know was that after Zhou Ni left her office, she went upstairs directly to find Wang Dang.

ps: There will be results in the matter of the brokerage company later, don't worry, you won't let Li Xiang suffer.
