Chapter 107: Termination of Contract (Part II)
Rao Zonglin lit a cigarette, Guo Yujing frowned slightly, but did not stop it, Wang Kefan saw it but did not give face.
"Mr. Rao, Yu'er can't get used to the smell of smoke."
Rao Zonglin, who had just taken a small puff, heard this, embarrassedly snuffed out the cigarette butt, spewed out a puff of green smoke, and shook his head to reveal a wry smile.
"Kefan, you came to terminate the contract with me this time, right?"
Wang Kefan nodded.
Rao Zonglin sighed and asked, "Do you know that terminating the contract with me will only be bad for you now, not beneficial." ”
Wang Kefan looked at Rao Zonglin and did not express his opinion immediately, but waited quietly for him to say the following.
Rao Zonglin said: "I have been in this industry for nearly 20 years, and I have been working hard to this day, if you want to say how many contacts you have accumulated, it is not much more than other big brothers, and in terms of prestige, it is not as good as Cheng Long and them, but there is one point, Brother Cheng Long They are not as good as me, that is, reputation." I have personally brought out more than 100 artists over the years, 6 of which are now king-level superstars, and the worst ones are at least the best in the second tier. ”
"Everyone in the industry knows that I, Rao Zonglin, do my best to do things for others, but I will do my best to make anyone popular, which is why those artists are willing to pay me so much money every year. So in the same way, if you terminate the contract with me, it is equivalent to putting a signal, that is, you can't hold it at all, it's not a matter of ability, but a matter of character. ”
Wang Kefan asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Rao Zonglin habitually touched the cigarette in his pocket, and immediately remembered that Guo Yujing was there, so he put down his hand a little confused, stood up and poured himself a glass of water, and after taking a small sip, he continued: "To put it simply, the termination of the contract is nothing more than a conflict between the company and the artist.
And over the years, I've never had a conflict with any of the artists, so even if I stand up and say good things for you after we terminate the contract, in the eyes of others in our circle, the fault of this matter is also on you. At this point, even if I have the heart to help you, I can't help you at all.
When the time comes, other brokerage companies will definitely consider this reason, even if you have fans and ability, they will not take you over. Kefan, do you know, in fact, in the entertainment industry, the most important thing is not ability and appearance, but knowing how to treat people is the most important thing. Once you are identified as having a character problem, even if you are really innocent, as long as this concept is preconceived, the blow is almost devastating for a newcomer like you. ”
Wang Kefan was silent, and the well-informed Guo Yujing said lightly: "Alarmist." ”
Rao Zonglin smiled, "Miss Guo, you think I'm talking nonsense, right?" ”
Guo Yujing nodded, and Rao Zonglin said: "That's because you are not familiar with this industry." ”
This difference in the way of thinking between chickens and ducks, Guo Yujing didn't even have the interest to talk back, but Wang Kefan said very calmly: "Mr. Rao, you continue." ”
"Then I'll tell you about it." Jao Zonglin said, "What is the most important thing to make a person popular now? It's the platform! The best platforms in the country are naturally David TV, various programs with high ratings, and websites that have risen in recent years.
Let's put it this way, whether an artist can be on these shows or not, whether the artist himself says it or not, and the producer of the show cannot unilaterally decide, who is on what show, in fact, is the result of a compromise between the two parties.
If a program wants to invite an artist, the program team must contact the artist's company, rather than directly contacting the artist himself, because many times, the program team of this popular program, while thinking about inviting an artist, is bound to have another artist's company also contacting them.
On the one hand, there is an artist with a background in a brokerage company, and on the other hand, there is a powerful individual, in other words, would you rather offend a group of people, or only one person? Therefore, out of consideration for personal relationships, the program team is bound to only choose artists with backgrounds first, and give up the one they want to invite.
Let's imagine again, if a very capable artist is also characterized by public opinion as 'bad character', then the probability of him being invited to such a popular program will be almost zero. All the popular shows, all the time, there are people waiting in line to make up for it. There is no artist who is willing to take over by a brokerage company, no matter how strong his ability is, it is not so easy to become popular. Kefan, have you thought about the termination of the contract a little more clearly? ”
Jao Tsung-lam's words are basically threats.
Wang Kefan was amused in his heart, he shook his head, and asked indifferently: "Mr. Rao, do you want to talk to me about this?" Do you know what I'm best at doing? ”
Rao Zonglin thought in his heart that Wang Kefan was pretending to be relying on Guo Yujing's energy, and couldn't help frowning a little disgusted, but he heard Wang Kefan say: "In fact, so far, my best job is to promote products. Last year, I independently created 8 ads, which totaled 7 product companies, and increased sales by an average of 69%, which translates into sales...... More than 500 million. ”
When Rao Zonglin heard this number, his pupils instantly dilated, and he turned his head to look at Guo Yujing in surprise, Guo Yujing added in a calm tone: "But Fan is the invisible creative of our company, and last year's National Best Advertising Award was awarded to him." ”
Rao Zonglin was a little messy, he looked at Wang Kefan and said, "In that case, why are you still here to eat this bowl of rice for entertainment?" ”
Wang Kefan said: "Because I am willing." ”
Rao Zonglin was stunned for a long time, nodded speechlessly, and sighed: "If I knew that you were playing with tickets, I wouldn't have spent so much effort to make the wind and rain." ”
Wang Kefan asked with a smile: "Then let's talk about it now, why listen to Han Baichuan's words, right?" ”
"It's not what I want to hear, I also have a hard time about this matter......"
Rao Zonglin picked up the water mouth, poured it all down, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve very ungracefully, and asked, "What is Han Baichuan doing, you know better than me, right?" ”
Wang Kefan nodded.
Rao Zonglin continued: "Han Baichuan holds the lifeblood of all singers in his hands, and now under my hands, seventy percent of the artists are singers, and records, concerts and online distribution rights are all in his hands. I originally thought that I would hide you for a while, wait for Han Baichuan and Miss Guo's matter to be completed, and then slowly compensate you after the rumors have passed, but now it seems that it ......"
Rao Zonglin shook his head, Wang Kefan smiled slightly, and asked, "Now as long as I am in your company for a day, there will be no future, right?" ”
Rao Zonglin said bitterly: "Kefan, we should understand each other, after the restructuring of state institutions, you as a singer and Han Baichuan are against each other, and it is absolutely impossible to have good fruits to eat." ”
Wang Kefan shook his head and said: "There is no unsolvable problem in this world, Mr. Rao, you have a hard time, I can understand it, but now that things are clear, let's hurry up and deal with the things that should be done." ”
Rao Zonglin asked a little reluctantly: "Are you really hard-hearted?" Han Baichuan has enough resources to completely block you! ”
