Chapter 49: Sign a full contract with Liu Yifei
was asked by Chen Jinfei like this, Shao Gong also took a look, he really wanted to sign Liu Yifei, and once he signed, he would be the focus of training, first let him play the No. 1 heroine in the popular TV series, and then take advantage of her fame to write songs and send records, and then pull advertisements, let her endorse jewelry, cosmetics is no problem.

But their company's annual schedule is already full, and even Meng Xiangting's month is squeezed out of his teeth, and in the next year, he doesn't even plan to shoot any TV series, but directly shoots "No Thieves in the World" and "Let the Bullets Fly". After all, these two movies were both box office and word-of-mouth blockbusters in later generations.
After all, this is also a movie with an investment of 10 million yuan and a return on investment of more than 100 million, and now in the market, if he wants to make "Crazy Racing", he believes that he can win it with an investment of up to 6 million. Therefore, on the road to signing Liu Yifei and developing the company, Shaogong instinctively chose to develop the company.
Seeing that the other party looked at him suspiciously, Shao Gong said: "It's not that I didn't think about signing Yifei! But our company's plan for 04 years has been arranged in my mind, and it will be promulgated after the employees work, and there is no suitable book for Yifei in those plans for the time being, so I want to wait for next year or the year after next to talk to Yifei about signing a contract." ā
"That's it!"
Seeing the sincerity of Shaogong's words, Chen Jinfei frowned, but then said seriously again: "This Shaogong, can you modify your company's work plan, sign Yifei first, I will pay 10 million for you to tailor a book for our family Qianqian, but you have to ensure that its praise is no worse than gold powder, what do you think!!"
"That's not like you can't change your plan......
Shao Gong was embarrassed: "But Uncle Chen, why is this! You are Yifei's agent, why do you want to push her to other film and television companies!"
"Hey, I'm in real estate, and I don't know much about the entertainment industry, what is my agent, except for spending some money to fund her, it's useless for how to develop in the future and how to choose a more suitable script, and I don't have such a talent under my command. ā
Speaking of this, Chen Jinfei not only sighed: "But Shaogong is different, the script you wrote is either so popular that it is not good, or it is made into a TV series and sold at a sky-high price, I watched Liangjian, and sure enough, as you said when you cut the ribbon in the company, it was a well-made film, and I still remember what you said, you said that Menghang's production must be a high-quality product, with a good reception of Liangjian on CCTV, I believe in your words very much, you are a super talent with excellent vision and creative thinking across the era." That's why I want Sissi to sign under Menghang, because I believe that your talent will definitely allow Sissi to walk less in the future and step on the nearest bridge to success. ā
"You praise me like that, haha, I'll be proud. ā
Shao Gong laughed twice, then calmed down his fluttering sense of leisure, tapped the table with his left hand, supported his chin with a fist with his right hand, and thought for a while: "It's okay to modify the plan, it's just to postpone the shooting plan of some movies and add some new tasks." It's no problem to tailor a book for Yifei.,I'm confident that the book won't be much weaker than the momentum of gold powder.ć ā
Seeing Chen Jinfei's eyebrows and smiles, Shao Gong continued: "However, if I want to sign Yifei, I want to sign a full contract with her, that is, film and television, records, and advertising, our company has contracted it single-handedly, I can first set a plan for her to have two TV series and one movie, as for records, I have been a singer and can guide her, I am confident in my songwriting level, writing more than a dozen good songs suitable for her is as simple as drinking water, and when she becomes popular in film and television dramas, she can release records." If she waits for all her films, television, and records to become popular, advertising manufacturers will naturally take the initiative to find her, and then we will choose an advertisement with a good reputation and strength as an agent, so that she can really become an artist.
But what I'm saying is still empty words, and these goals will take at least two years to achieve, so if Yifei trusts us, she can sign a full contract of at least two years first, but if she thinks that I, Ouyang Shaogong, don't have that kind of strength, and think that we can't do what Menghang promises, we can also sign the contract once a year, and after the artist signs the contract for half a year, she thinks that we are really a grass stage team, and we have the right to terminate the contract with the company. ā
Half a year later, as soon as the artist can terminate the contract with the company according to his own wishes, Shaogong is nothing, Liu Yifei doesn't understand it very well, and he doesn't think there is any problem, but Chen Jinfei was surprised, he opened his mouth and said: "Should I admire your self-confidence! Or should I admire your heartlessness! You know, the current film and television companies want artists to sign lifelong contracts with them, you are good, you actually give artists so much freedom." ā
"That's nothing. ā
Shao Gong said indifferently: "Although we are also a film and television company, we will sign many artists in the future, but while we select artists, we also hope that artists will choose owners." I don't want to say how strong we are, after all, we're still a company that's less than a year old. But I dare to put forward such conditions, which is enough to show that we are confident in creating super-standard film and television works and the strength of potential artists who are popular.
Although this condition gives artists a lot of freedom, they can choose to fly solo after they become popular, and even artists who use our company to make themselves popular and fly are possible. But I want to say that we definitely don't have the resources here in other companies, so I'm not afraid that the artist will fly when he becomes popular, and there is no need to tie the artist to our ship at all. Everyone is sincere, they can cooperate when they get together, and if they disperse, they want an artist not to spit on me, saying that I am Ouyang Shaogong, and it is very pleasant for everyone to work together, and I am already very content. ā
"Salivation, pay attention to the way you speak. ā
Liu Yifei glanced at him and said, "That word is too unhygienic." ā
"Okay, you are a fair and upright person, I will believe you once, make the decision for Sissi, and sign a two-year full contract. When you go back today, prepare the contract, and tomorrow I will bring 10 million to take the check to lead Sissi to you, and we will make a decision. Chen Jinfei looked at Shao Gong in surprise, he couldn't see the slightest cowardice on this young man's face, his words and the expression on his face were so calm, so confident, and so bright.
"No problem, Yifei, when will you finish filming Tianlong Babu. ā
"Probably in May!!"
Liu Yifei thought about the filming process, and pointed to her chin to think: "The shooting is almost half complete, and the rest of the director said that the shooting will be completed in May." ā
"Okay, after signing a contract with us, I will arrange the filming plan for the new drama for you in May. ā
Seeing that the two of them were almost talking, Chen Jinfei asked Shao Gong for advice: "It's not a secret, there are two more families who came to Sissi to make a movie, and they also told us the content of the scripts, and Sissi also likes those two scripts, but I want to hear your opinion, after all, we signed a full contract with you, and we can't sign a contract with other companies." ā
"Tell me about it. ā
"That's the case, one of their scripts is called "Love Winner", they were after Qian Qian gradually became popular after playing the gold powder, and I heard that she and Lin Zhiying played Wang Yuyan and Duan Yu in the Tianlong crew, and they came to it during the Chinese New Year, it is said that their crew also found Xu Shaoyang and Yang Gong from Hong Kong and Taiwan to play with the two, and when Qianqian finished filming Tianlong, she signed a contract with her, and the content of the script is probably like this, it is about: Du Hengfeng (played by Lin Zhiying), who is honest and kind by nature, is the only son of Hong Kong smuggling giant Du Nan.
One day, Du Hengfeng rescued a beautiful girl named Jin Qiaoli (played by Yifei) from a group of chaotic boys in the square. From the title page of the book that Jin Qiaoli threw away in a panic, Du Hengfeng learned that Jin Qiaoli was a student of the Hong Kong Medical School. For this reason, Du Hengfeng, who was shot by Cupid's arrow, asked his father to go to work in medical school in order to pursue Jin Qiaoli.
In the medical school, the female teacher Qian Yueshan (played by Yang Gongru) had to work hard to help her father pay off her debts, and Wang Hanwen (played by Xu Shaoyang), who was born in a wealthy family in Taiwan and studied martial arts in the mainland since childhood, worked in the medical school because he did not want to inherit the family business. The Hong Kong police sent trainee police officers Li Zhen and Chen Munan to the school, pretending to be students to monitor Du Hengfeng, so that they could find out Du Nan's whereabouts and wait for an opportunity to arrest him. In this way, several young people with different goals come together in medical school, and the case leads to a series of love and funny stories. ā
After Chen Jinfei finished talking about one, he continued: "The other script is 'May Love', which tells the story of Ah Lei and his two best friends who are both loyal fans of Taiwan's Mayday band and maintain Mayday's website together. Later, Ah Lei met Xuan Xuan, a mainland girl who also likes Mayday, on the Internet, and began a love affair between them. ā
After finishing speaking, Chen Jinfei looked at Shao Gong and said, "Shao Gong, you have a high level, help my uncle analyze whether these two movies have any heads!"
"Not at all, and I'm sure that even if these two films are made, it will be difficult to win awards, because this is not a book that can win awards, acting in these two movies can only add some experience, and be watched a few more times by the audience, there is no chance to help Yifei improve her strength and fame. ā
"You're so sure, you won't say that just to get me to sign a full contract with you!"
Liu Yifei was a little unconvinced: "I've read those two books, and I feel pretty good." ā
"Sister Xiuzhu, yes, that's just your feeling, but you've only seen a few scripts! If you think I'm fooling you, you can only sign a full contract with us except for the movie according to your own wishes. ā
Seeing that she wanted to lose her temper, Shao Gong stopped her and said, "Don't be in a hurry to get angry, listen to me give you an analysis." Let's talk about the first part first, although it invited a lot of celebrities, but those are all running for you, I think you also know that the film market in Hong Kong and Taiwan is now sluggish, so they want to come to the mainland to get a handful, and after watching the gold powder, they think that you played Bai Xiuzhu is good, and the response in the impression of the domestic audience is also very good, it just so happens that you are playing with Lin Zhiying in the Tianlong crew, so they want to join you, and then pull in Lin Zhiying, so that at the new film announcement meeting, they can take advantage of the fame of the Tianlong crew and Zhang Jizhong in China to take the lead in gaining publicity advantages, and then unite Xu Shaoyang and Yang Gongru, two actors who are quite famous in Hong Kong and Taiwan, is to add fame to this movie.
After all, it was invested and filmed by Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it was impossible not to release it in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so with Xu Shaoyang and Yang Gongru joining, they also have bargaining chips in Hong Kong and Taiwan to promote this, but I am sure that their main goal is still in the mainland, and this movie is a one-time investment, and they don't care about the quality or badness, because they are originally people who take advantage of your popularity in the mainland and leave. Moreover, the review and material of their films are aimed at young audiences, and films like this one, which are only for some people, are destined to fail to win awards.
As for the second "May Love", I don't need to act it, because this is a pure youth drama, and the audience it is aimed at is also the younger generation. If it is made into a movie, it will be able to worship Mayday well. And such a targeted movie watched by a targeted group of people, although it is a youth drama, it is also very rare, I am afraid that they should have fun if they are nominated for an award. ā
Speaking of this, Shao Gong smiled at Liu Yifei and said: "So, if it is a film and television drama that is destined not to win awards, then there is no need to shoot it, I think you might as well save time to shoot the drama I prepared for you, because the drama I will prepare for you in the future can ensure that your popularity will soar like a rocket, and there is no problem in winning a few awards." ā
"How can you be so sure that the book you wrote will definitely win an award if it is printed. ā
Seeing Liu Yifei's unconvinced appearance, Shao Gong helplessly spread his hands and said: "Now it's not gold powder, I'm not Jin Yanxi, you're not Bai Xiuzhu, we're friends after all, you don't believe me!!"
"It's not that I don't believe what you said, I just think what you said is a bit excessive. ā
Liu Yifei was unconvinced: "Modesty is a virtue in Huaxia, but I can't see this in you at all." ā
"You don't need to be humble to be honest!!"
Seeing that she still wanted to raise the bar, Shao Gong smiled and said, "It's better like this! Let's make a bet." ā
"Bet, bet what. ā
As soon as she heard this, Liu Yifei was also interested, "Although you have money now, I don't want those things." As he spoke, he looked at the pair of gifts given to him by the pair of readers that Shao Gong was carrying in his hands, and said with a smile: "If you lose, I want that pair of jewelry." ā
"This, this is a gift from readers, more valuable than the Golden Horse Award. ā
"Let's change it to something else! This four-leaf clover is glass, and the rings and bracelets connected to it are copper and gold-plated, and you can't wear it if you want it, it's too bad to wear it!"
"No, that's it. ā
Shao Gong looked at the pair of ornaments with some reluctance, and finally made up his mind to look at Chen Jinfei and said to him: "Uncle Chen, is the sea-blue Aston Martin outside in the shape of a stingray your car?"
"yes! ā
"Yes, that's it. ā
Shao Gong said with a smile: "Since the establishment of our company, we have filmed a TV series "Bright Sword", which will definitely win awards, and we have also made a movie "Crazy Stone" which is not yet in post-production, I bet it can also win awards, I will write a script for Yifei in May, and I believe it can also win awards when it is filmed." So I'm going to make a bet on Bright Sword, Crazy Stone, and the unnamed script, and if any of these three don't win, I'll lose the pair to Yifei, and I'll lose to you the only Audi in the company. But if I win, your stingray-shaped navy blue Aston Martin is going to lose to me, whatever, that's fair!"
"Is it a car-for-car?? Relatively fair. ā
Chen Jinfei nodded, stopped Liu Yifei, who wanted to ask questions, and said to Shaogong: "Then it's decided, Sissi and I will go to you tomorrow with a check, and my stingray-shaped sea-blue Aston Martin is also waiting for you to win it and say goodbye." ā
After speaking, he got up and pulled Liu Yifei out of the house.
"Uncle, why are you pulling me! Shao Gong is too lonely and arrogant, just like Jin Yanxi. ā
As soon as he got out of the door of the tea restaurant, Liu Yifei broke free of Chen Jinfei's hand and went to Aston Martin unhappily, Chen Jinfei smiled after getting into the car: "Is it arrogant? I don't think so, but I think Shaogong is very interesting, maybe you think he is arrogant, but I think he is confident, just tell the truth." Now I'm not worried about whether he can make you popular, but I'm worried that my more than 3 million stingray-shaped sea-blue Aston Martin will be won by him, this is a car I only mentioned last year, I don't think Shao Gong is like a person who is not sure about betting, so my car is really a bit fierce and unlucky. ā
"I don't think he can win awards for every one of his works! Huaxia is not the only screenwriter ......"
Liu Yifei said stubbornly: "It's not without screenwriters who are more famous than him. ā
"But he is currently the only one who can sell the premiere rights of a TV series for 100 million. ā
Chen Jinfei started the car, reversed the parking space and drove onto the highway and said to her: "My company still has a lot of work, and my subordinates don't know too much about this industry, but there is Shaogong to check the road for you, I am very relieved, I think the two movies he analyzed are very reasonable." Your mother will return to China in a few months, and I will leave it to her to accompany you to the crew!"
"Mother, isn't she willing to let me go down the road??"
"Maybe it used to be, but now that you're on this path, there's no reason for her to object. ā
The sea-blue Aston Martin with the shape of a stingray sped away, quickly disappearing into the road.
Shaogong returned home, turned on the computer and immediately started to sign the contract. The contracts signed by film and television companies and artists are roughly divided into three types, one is the full contract, that is, the film and television contract, the record contract, and the advertising contract. That is to say, within a certain period of time, the company should promise to give the actor how many opportunities to play the number one role, how many advertisements to shoot, etc., and what proportion of the actor's remuneration and the company will be distributed, etc.
The second type is a partial contract, that is, the actor only contracts a certain type of rights to the company, but controls the others, for example, the film and television contract only contracts the rights of the film and television drama characters to the company, but the shooting of advertisements and other performance opportunities are controlled by themselves. But now most artists choose to sign advertisements in one place, film and television in one place, and record in one place, to develop themselves in an all-round way.
The third is the agency contract, that is, to sign a contract with the brokerage company, all the rights of this contract belong to the actor himself, the company only has the right to act, of course, they need to negotiate with the actor to share the proportion, for example, the company has negotiated a business for the actor, if the final deal is made, the actor will share the money earned with the agency according to the proportion of the contract signed with the company in advance. And the artist's assistant, generally the economic company to which he belongs, is very tired, said to be a helper, in fact, it is a personal nanny, in order not to leak his privacy, there are also artists who find relevant relatives as assistants.
These three types of appointments have their own pros and cons, although the second type is very hard, mainly relying on their own to find a job, TV crews, movie crews, singing, advertising and other places to run back and forth, but you can also earn a lot of money with hard work. But the disadvantage is that in the early days, an artist's fame and popularity are almost completely lost, and if he wants to get a certain opportunity in this circle, he needs a very big opportunity.
The third is the most worry-free for their careers, although the disadvantage is that the work is as hard, and more than half of the money earned will be divided by the brokerage company, but it is beneficial for them not to have to worry about their early fame and can't find a job, because the brokerage company signs an artist, that is, they take a fancy to their image, temperament, and acting skills.
As for the first type, if the company is very powerful and sincerely wants to bring out the actors, then they will wholeheartedly manage the artist, let him or her become popular in the shortest possible time, and become one of the pride of the company.
The disadvantage is that most companies now sign a full contract for at least three to five years, after all, the effort required to make an artist popular is very large, once the signing time is short, the artist is popular and the company terminates the contract and goes to make a lot of money by himself, isn't it just a chicken and a chicken! Many film and television companies have experienced this kind of thing, most of them are actresses, they have a short puberty, and if the company that signed the contract is inexperienced and the strength is insufficient, then they can't terminate the contract within the contract period, after all, the breach of contract is to pay legal responsibility, and their acting career will be completely ruined in the hands of the company.
But if you don't sign a full contract, why should people make you popular, and people don't practice wedding dresses, they pay a lot of effort just to make wedding clothes for others. But Shaogong believes that the twisted melon is not sweet, and in doing so, you can see what kind of person the artist is. Therefore, in the contract, it is carefully and strictly stipulated what their company can do during the full term of the contract, and even writes it well, if the artist feels that they are not strong within half a year, they have the right to unilaterally terminate the contract. In this way, if they don't do well, the artist still has a chance to regain his free body, and there is no need to solve the problem through a long lawsuit.
After making the contract, Shao Gong printed it out on a photocopier, and after contacting a lawyer from a law firm as a witness, he went to code again, and in the evening, he continued to draw cartoons.
The next day was almost noon, witnessed by a lawyer surnamed Liu, Shao Gong took Menghang Film and Television Entertainment Company to sign a two-year contract with Liu Yifei, accompanied by Chen Jinfei. There were no reporters present, no media, and no grand occasion for the signing of the contract, the location was only in the small courtyard rented by Shaogong, but they were both very sincere, and after Shaogong and Liu Yifei signed on behalf of each other, lawyer Liu signed his name on the part of the witness and also stamped his seal.
Of course, the lawyer's fee was paid by Chen Jinfei, and Shao Gong just signed Liu Yifei's two-year full contract and easily earned 10 million for the company again. After signing the contract, Chen Jinfei led Liu Yifei to invite Shao Gong and Lawyer Chen to find a Western restaurant to celebrate, and they did not disperse until three o'clock in the afternoon.
