Ning Hao took out a template of the agreement that had been prepared long ago from his backpack, handed it to Liu Ye and said: " You look at this contract, we want to sign a five-year brokerage contract with you, within five years, all the theatrical films you participate in must be Makino Impression investment or participation in the film, you are also obliged to participate in other commercial performing arts activities arranged by us for you, as well as the commercial endorsement we arrange for you, before we do not participate in the production and filming of the TV series, we do not restrict you from acting in TV series invested by other companies in principle, but the premise is that the script of the TV series and related circumstances must be reviewed by us, if we clearly do not want you to take over, you need to comply。 ”

After listening to this, Liu Ye nodded lightly and said: "In other words, Makino Impression signed my film performances and commercial activities, TV series, and stage plays, which I still have independent rights in principle." ”

"That's right. Ning Hao smiled: "And we will not restrict your development in music, if there is a record company willing to sign you and release a record for you, we will not interfere." ”

Liu Ye originally thought that Makino Impression would sign a full contract with an artist, that is, whether it is a film and television drama, a commercial performance advertisement, or even a music album, as long as it is a money-making aspect, the company is fully responsible, there are many such companies in the industry, and the artists who have signed a full contract generally have no freedom at all, that is, they are desperately arranged to take on various performances and activities, and become the company's cash cow and old scalper.

However, now looking at the contract of Makino Technology, on the whole, it is much more relaxed than he expected, which makes Liu Ye feel a lot more relaxed, he was also faintly worried before, he wanted to play "Flying Tigers", if Makino Impression took this opportunity to put forward very harsh contract requirements, then he could only grit his teeth and accept it, but at present, the contract of Makino Technology is completely acceptable.

Xie Yan had a question in her heart, she wanted to say it but didn't say it, this contract was in Liu Ye's hands, Liu Ye didn't open it, and she was embarrassed to take it and open it carefully, but she was worried that Ning Hao gave a pure sharing cooperation agreement, although the ratio of five to five points is relatively generous for actors, but the company can't directly ask to sign a sharing contract for a few years without paying any cost or giving any promise, which is too insecure.

Many artists who have just debuted are like this, they have been signed by large companies for several years in one go, and it is also a pure sharing cooperation model, so that if the company can't take into account the growth of this artist, so that he can't become popular, then his income will be insecure, don't look at many artists who earn millions and tens of millions a year, but there are many artists who have just debuted, and they can barely eat enough in Yanjing.

Moreover, in this case, the artist's right to speak is also extremely low, and if the agency is not satisfied, he can directly hide the artist, the so-called snow hiding, that is, all your contracts are in my hands, but I just won't let you take any work, let alone acting in movies and TV series, even if the barber shop at your door opens and asks you to cut the ribbon and sing a song, I won't let you go, completely cut off your star career and income, if you dare to come hard, I will sue you, and at the same time unite all the resources in the circle to block you, so that you can completely cut off your acting career.

In fact, Liu Ye is also a little worried in his heart, for him, dreams are very important, but income is also very important, he is willing to sign his next five years to Muye Impression, but the income must be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Xie Yan made an exchange with Liu Ye with a vague look in his eyes, Liu Ye's eyes also showed this worry, but Liu Ye was more concerned about this movie and this cooperation, he felt that the other party's sincerity was so sufficient, if he was still struggling with the problem of money at this time, it would be really a little too much, so he turned his heart and blurted out: "Brother Hao, I signed this contract!"

Xie Yan saw that Liu Ye suddenly made a decision, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she was soon relieved, before she made a decision, she also suffered for him, but when he made a decision, he suddenly had a sense of relief.

Although Liu Ye agreed to sign the contract very resolutely, Ning Hao still saw the worry in the hearts of the two, he first shook hands with Liu Ye and said, "Welcome to Muye Imaging." Then he pointed to the unopened contract in Liu Ye's hand and smiled slightly: " In fact, before I came, our Mr. Li deliberately explained to me that in this contract for you to determine an increasing guaranteed income, the minimum guarantee model is, 3 million in the first year, 5 million in the second year, 7.5 million in the third year, 10 million in the fourth year and 15 million in the fifth year, that is to say, as long as you sign this contract, in the next five years, we will pay you 40.5 million income, if your income from working in Makino Impression in the past five years is less than this amount, then we will make up for you according to this number, if it is higher than this number, then we will pay according to your actual income。 ”

"40 million in five years?!" Liu Ye was dumbfounded when he heard this, in 2003, the salary of domestic first-line film actors was millions, even if they were first-line celebrities in Hong Kong, the RMB was around 10 million, and Li Mu was so generous to give himself a guaranteed income of 40 million in five years, which is really an unimaginable amount of money! If you want to earn 40 million, then at least the income before sharing must reach 80 million! Even if you can make ten movies in five years, the salary of one movie will reach 8 million, which is very scary!

In fact, Li Mu is also very aware of the value of actors in this year, and he also knows that according to normal historical development, the value of mainland actors will skyrocket for at least another ten or eight years, because the value of actors is complementary to the volume of the market, in the era when the box office of movies can easily exceed 100 million, it is logical for an actor's worth to reach 10 million or even tens of millions, otherwise the movie itself will not be able to earn 18 million from hard work, how can a star be paid tens of millions.

However, having said that, now Li Mu has begun to cultivate the domestic film and television box office market, the Muying ticketing system is a great weapon to improve the box office, and "Flying Tigers" will be a beginning of the box office take-off of Chinese films, next year "Flying Tigers" will be released, if it can reach more than one billion box office, then the Chinese film industry will begin to recover at least five years in advance and enter a period of rapid growth, and at that time, Liu Ye's worth may also skyrocket, and then he will create a few other movies. The reality show pushed his worth up, and the guarantee of 40 million will definitely be earned.

At this moment, Liu Ye had dispelled all his concerns, and said to Ning Hao excitedly: "Brother Hao, thank you and Mr. Li for your appreciation, I am willing to sign Makino Impression, but the amount of this guaranteed contract is too high, and I am really not sure that I will be able to help the company make so much money in the next five years, so for the sake of the company, can this amount be discounted in half, even if it is three folds!"

Liu Ye said very sincerely, he felt that the other party was willing to give a guarantee of 40 million, this is the sincerity of 40 million, the sincerity is enough to support his decision to sign a contract, but he can't accept all the sincerity of the other party, because he knows that he is a few pounds and a few taels, 40 million, although he doesn't want to take any responsibility for himself, but he really doesn't have the confidence to earn so much, he doesn't want to be weak in his ability, he still needs the company's subsidy money to make up for his lack of ability.

Ning Hao smiled at this time: "The amount is not my decision, it is set by Mr. Li, he is usually a person who says the same, I don't have the ability to persuade him, so I don't think you should think too much, sign a contract first, and then calm down and act in every movie you have in the future, in five years, you will definitely be able to earn this money." ”

Liu Ye still wanted to insist, but Ning Hao hurriedly said: "You look at the details of the contract, if there is no problem, we can sign the contract directly." ”

Liu Ye nodded, thinking of his agent, hesitated again and again, and asked very cautiously: "Brother Hao, I still have a small request, I don't know if you can agree." ”

Ning Hao smiled: "You say, I will definitely agree to what I can do, and I will say it directly if I can't do it." ”

Liu Ye said: "I want my current agent to also sign up for Makino Technology, he is very capable and has a lot of resources, I believe that he will be able to create value for the company." ”

Ning Hao asked, "Then does he also have an appointment?"

Liu Ye shook his head and said: "He doesn't have an artist contract, just a labor contract, just resign at any time, changing companies is a change of job for him." ”

Speaking of this, Liu Ye added: "Brother Hao, I have a reluctant request, I hope you must agree!"

Ning Hao said: "You say." ”

Liu Ye said: "Brother Lan can get 20% of the company's share on me, I am 46 points with the company, calculated, he can get 12% of my remuneration, if he is willing to come to Muye Technology, his commission must be paid by me personally! If you don't agree to this, I won't let him come." ”

Ning Hao thought about it for a while, then nodded and said: "OK, since you recognize him so much, I believe that he is indeed very capable, and you insist on paying his commission yourself, then I have no opinion." ”

Liu Ye said excitedly: "Then I'll call him now!"

……

At this moment, Wang Lan is eating with his wife and children at home, and he is still chatting with his wife about Liu Ye at the dinner table, Wang Lan feels that Liu Ye has great potential, but he has never been able to find a commercial movie suitable for him, which makes him a little bit away from the real popularity, as if it is a bottleneck, and he can't break through, which makes Wang Lan also very frustrated, and always feels that he has an unshirkable responsibility because of his lack of ability.

His wife persuaded him: "Don't be too demanding of yourself, it's already very good that Liu Ye can get to this point, do you think how many actors of his age can have him today?"

Wang Lan said with a burning look in his eyes: "Believe me, he can be better!

In fact, Liu Ye has always been short of such a good opportunity in his previous life, he is a first-line, but he is a little far from those very commercial first-line, and no one would have imagined that what made him really break through this bottleneck in the end was a variety show and his children.

After speaking, Wang Lan sighed, her eyes dimmed again, and said: "The company is too short-sighted, all they think about is letting Liu Ye take on more dramas and win more awards, but they have never thought of creating a real commercial movie for him, they always want to do business without capital, and the pattern is too small." ”

At this time, Liu Ye's phone called, Wang Lan answered the phone, turned on the speaker, and said with a smile: "I'm talking to your sister-in-law about you." ”

Wang Lan's wife also smiled on the side: "Yezi, when will you have to go home for dinner?" ”

"Okay, sister-in-law. Liu Ye agreed with a smile, and then said, "Brother Lan, I called to tell you something." ”

Wang Lan said casually: "Say it." ”

Liu Ye said with some hesitation: "That's the case, I'm ready to sign in Makino Impression, because they want me to play a more important role in "Flying Tigers". ”

The first half of Liu Ye's sentence made Wang Lan almost jump up in surprise, and a fire of betrayal by his brother was just about to be released, but as soon as he heard the second half of his sentence, that fire was suddenly completely extinguished by a basin of water.

"Is what you said true?!" Wang Lan asked with an incredulous expression.

Liu Ye said: "It's true. ”

"Congratulations!" Wang Lan said from the bottom of her heart: "This is a great opportunity for you! You must grasp the matter of the company's contract, and I will find a way to help you mediate." ”

"Thank you, Brother Lan!" Liu Ye didn't expect Wang Lan to be so interesting, and he was moved in his heart, and said: "Brother Lan, you don't have to worry, Mr. Ning of Muye Impression has promised to help me solve all the contract problems, and if the company sues me, they will help me solve it." ”

"That's great!" Although Wang Lan felt a special sense of loss and frustration in her heart, she still breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yezi, this is a good opportunity, you must take advantage of it!"

"Hmm......" Liu Ye was silent for a moment, and then said: "Brother Lan, I want you to also sign in to Makino Impression, Mr. Ning has already agreed, it's up to you......"

"Me?!" Wang Lan was speechless in surprise.

"Yes!" Liu Ye said: "I know that you are not doing well in the company, why don't we come to Makino Impression together, you are still my agent, I will act in a down-to-earth manner, all my labor remuneration, you can mention 15 points, and Mr. Ning said, they will give me a guarantee of 40 million for five years......"

40 million in five years, for Wang Lan, is 6 million in five years, which is about three times higher than his current income level!

Wang Lan couldn't believe it, and blurted out: "Yezi, you're not joking with me, are you?! Makino Technology will give you a guarantee of 40 million yuan for five years?!"

"That's right!" Liu Ye said with a smile: "Brother Lan, 40 million in five years, you can come and take me, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to carry it alone!"
