Chapter 488 EK Contract
After dinner at two o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Menglong and others came to Wutong Bridge, looking at the lower two floors that had begun to be rebuilt, Tang Menglong and others went directly to the office building on the fourth floor.
"Let's sit down first, Director Han Caiyi will be here soon!" Tang Menglong said with a smile at the other people.
At the beginning, Mr. Zheng, because of Tang Menglong's cheerfulness, left most of the office supplies, so the fourth floor is like a normal office building except for a little more gray floor.
And at this moment, there are seven people who followed Tang Menglong here, Moon Hee-joon, Choi Sung-hee, Han Seung-yeon, Choi Ji-na, Kim Yoon-ji, Park Gyu-ri, and Jung Nicole.
Wen Xijun was still a little curious, so he ran upstairs and downstairs to watch everywhere, as for Cui Shengxi, he ran to the outside passage to make a call, of course, this is because Tang Menglong said, if you have an agent you know, you can introduce to the company, you don't necessarily need any connections against the sky, of course, it is better, as long as you have the necessary ability and experience, it is OK, of course, even some newcomers with a broker certificate can also be introduced to the company.
The relationship between the artist and the agent, in fact, there are many classifications, the cooperation is good, the relationship will naturally change slowly, the natural relationship with poor cooperation is not good, and there is the kind that is completely biased towards the company, after all, the agent basically relies on the company.
In fact, in the Korean circle, the agent's energy is very ordinary, and an agent is basically responsible for an artist, unlike abroad, China, and the sports world, where an agent often holds a lot of big-name artists in his hands.
Of course, these brokerage companies can also be regarded as brokers with great capabilities.
And Cui Shengxi's agent has naturally broken up in the past, but her cousin is also an agent, but she is a small actor in charge. Hearing Tang Menglong say this, he was naturally very happy, so he ran out to make a call. There are naturally many relatives as agents in the entertainment industry, but the premise is that you have the qualifications to propose to the company to use your relatives as agents.
Cui Shengxi and Tang Menglong mentioned it. got Tang Menglong's affirmative answer, which made her very happy, and she also felt that Tang Menglong was indeed a benevolent president.
But the reality of the situation, just looking at the tragedy of S.M some time ago, it can be seen that Tang Menglong is not a benevolent person, on the contrary, he is very good to you now, but this is because Tang Menglong needs you, or the company needs you, and there is no conflict and festival in everyone. Naturally, it's easy to talk.
But if something happens that makes Tang Menglong unhappy, although it is not said that Tang Menglong's six relatives do not recognize him, if everyone is just an ordinary colleague relationship, then Tang Menglong will definitely change from benevolent to fierce.
It's like an agent, of course, the company has the best arrangement, so that you can better control the company's artists, but for old people like Wen Xijun and Cui Shengxi, Tang Menglong doesn't have any ideas, if the two of them have their brains pumped out of their brains, what stupid things will they do. Judging from the current identities of the three of them, of course it is impossible for Tang Menglong to say who he will block, but it is still possible to say that it is difficult for them to move an inch.
Of course, even if this artist arranges for his relatives to be brokers, the agent will naturally have to sign a contract with the company. Without the company to rely on, 80% of the brokers in South Korea are useless, so Tang Menglong naturally doesn't care that Cui Shengxi wants his cousin to be an agent. In his opinion, everyone is the same, anyway, income or something. It's all contractually bound, and these things don't mean that the broker can change them.
And after that, artist management and contract matters. Tang Menglong will be completely handed over to Han Chaeyoung to deal with, all he has to do is to be responsible for the debut plan, find good seedlings, and of course the implementation of some normal plans, such as releasing an album or something, and of course, publicity and external liaison.
However, in this way, Tang Menglong's work is not very much, but these jobs are basically the focus of determining the development of a company's work in the next period of time.
In addition to the company's daily operations, operations, artist management, and the company's external spokesperson, Han Chaeyoung is responsible for holding any press conference or the like.
Of course, Tang Menglong also knew that Han Caiying's future plan had an acting department, and Tang Menglong had no objections, after all, if it could be developed, there would be no problem.
In fact, the hardest thing to say is Han Caiying, just like now she is already thinking about creating a finance department, after all, although there are not many things in the company now, but there are also a lot, if it is just her, how can she be busy, just like this contract will make her ...... Ahem, it seems that Comrade Han Chaeyoung thought of something bad that day, so he used his fingers to help himself vent.
But venting is venting, but Han Chaeyoung is already thinking about preparing to make some basic preparations, anyway, the company can use it now, at most, it's just a little noisy below.
…………
"Have you found a place to live?" Tang Menglong moved a chair and sat in the middle of the road, looked at the beautiful girls in front of him and asked with a smile.
Han Shengyan replied as if rushing to answer: "It's already been found, we moved over yesterday, just a little in front of Wutong Bridge, five or six minutes away from the company!" ”
Tang Menglong nodded and smiled: "That's good, I've already told you about the five of you, you can live together temporarily this year, and when you return next year, I will rearrange the dormitory for the three of you!" ”
"As for Zhina and Yunzhi, the plan is that you will make your debut next year, but the time should be in the middle of the year, so you still need to train hard for the time being, and Yunzhi School, you can go back to school first when you enroll, after all, you are a dance major, which is very compatible with what you are doing now, but you also have to think clearly, when it is really time to debut, your studies will definitely stop!" Tang Menglong thought about it and said to Kim Yunzhi.
Jin Yunzhi nodded, without the slightest entanglement, but said very happily: "Don't worry, Oba, my choice has already been made!" ”
"Oba, you and Park Renjing XI......" At this time, Zheng Nicole on the side suddenly couldn't help but ask a little weakly, it seems that this girl is quite gossipy.
However, Nicole Zheng's question made the other girls' eyes widen instantly. Her eyes were full of curiosity, like Han Shengyan's eyes were still a little apprehensive.
And was stunned for a moment. A little speechless glanced at Zheng Nicole, thought about it and was about to return. But I heard a woman's voice in the corridor on the side of the floor not far away: "Tang Menglong! ”
"Hehe, Director Han, who will really manage you in the future, is here, you have to be careful!" Tang Menglong said to the five girls with a smile, and at the same time avoided the topic just now.
At this time, Han Caiying also walked over, still carrying a black briefcase in her hand, wearing a pink medium jacket, a pink short sweater, and black leggings Han Caiying once again showed her excellent figure and excellent fashion sense, coupled with some changes in temperament, when she walked towards Tang Menglong. Tang Menglong was also a little surprised, did this sister also have the same understanding as himself?
And the five girls saw that Han Caiying was obviously a little excited and excited, but they still bowed and said hello when they thought of Tang Menglong's words.
"Hello Director Han!"
Hearing the greetings of the five girls, Han Caiying was stunned for a moment, her steps stagnated slightly, and after a while, she came over with a smile and responded to the five people, but her attitude was not intimate.
"Thank you, Director Han, let's show the contract to these five girls first!" Tang Menglong also stood up and smiled at Han Caiying.
Han Chaeyoung looked at this guy and was still a little speechless with a happy face, but because Ha Ji Won's matter was finally decided, she didn't say anything. Instead, five contracts were found out of the briefcase.
These five contracts are naturally the same, and some of the details above are not filled in, of course, it seems to be divided into these, but they are filled in, although three of these five people are not newcomers. But it's not much different.
In terms of music sharing, 8:2, a very normal ratio, after all, the production of albums is basically the company's investment. If you want to get higher, work hard.
And the announcement score is not bad, and the 7:3 given is slightly higher than that of the average newcomer. Because the carriage and meal expenses in this contract are not included.
As for advertising endorsement, if the manufacturer finds the door by itself, it is 5:5, and if it is the company's operation, it is 8:2. However, companies generally don't care much about this.
The last is the sharing contract in acting, which is quite humane in many companies in South Korea, of course, it can also be said that most companies do not have this plan for singers, if there is really a shooting to find the door, it will be earned, if it is an actor, then the sharing will naturally be a cheat.
The performance share set by EK is 5:5, which is neither high nor low, and some companies will even give 6:4, but this situation also means that other ratios are very low, and then use 6; 4 to pretend.
A very standard newcomer contract, without any moisture and explosion, the only thing that people look forward to is that they can propose a condition to change the sharing ratio once every three years.
If it is definitely impossible for other companies to get such a contract, no one can say clearly about people's hearts, what if the company's artists are not even satisfied with the first-line share in the future?
If Tang Menglong takes out such a practice, some people will definitely call him stupid.
But Tang Menglong is not stupid, and he is also different from the heads of those entertainment companies, simply put, there are indeed some hidden dangers in the past three years, but if it really comes to the kind of time when people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, Tang Menglong's first choice is to destroy them.
Just like S.M treated HOT and JTL at the beginning, of course, the only difference is that S.M is naturally not as humane as Tang Menglong.
According to the contract designated by Tang Menglong, there is also the hurdle in his heart, if this is really the case, someone will cross it in the future, maybe it will be light to destroy it.
But it's a bit scary, but according to the unified six-year contract, it will be 15 years until the contract ends, and it will change every three years, and according to the execution period of the contract, it will be 12 years.
Of course, the effective period of the contract is after the signing of the two parties, but the execution period will definitely not be now, and now the contract between Kim Yunzhi and Choi Zhina, Tang Menglong has also added the execution period of the contract from March 3, 2009 to March 3, 2015.
The KARA contract will run from January 1, 2009 to January 1, 2015.
As for KARA, there is no signing fee this time, and after signing the contract with the three of them, Tang Menglong also tore up the contract he got from LOEN, which means that KARA is also officially signed to EK Agency, of course, KARA's music share is divided equally, and the rest depends on their own.
And Kim Yunzhi and Choi Ji-na signed an exclusive contract for the first time, which naturally has a signing fee, and the signing fee for the two is not high, only seven million, but it is already a terrible number for newcomers, and the liquidated damages are five times the compensation.
Tang Menglong also understands the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, so naturally he won't worry about poaching.
After signing the contract, Moon Hee-jun and Choi Sung-hee also returned, the contract between the two is also six years, and the sharing change agreement can be proposed every three years, which makes both of them very surprised, and at the same time a little admired, such a contract is definitely the first time in South Korea.
The contract between the two is only 7:3 musically higher than that of the newcomer, and the announcement is divided into 5:5 for Moon Hee-jun and 6:4 for Choi Sung-hee.
There is no difference in advertising endorsements, the only difference is that advertisers come to the door by themselves, accounting for 6% more than newcomers.
The final show is the same 5:5.
Of course, the company has not yet officially operated, so naturally it will not take the income of the two people in vain, and the execution period of the contract is from August 10, 2008, when the company should have begun normal operation, and the end time is August 10, 2014.
The people present are all adults, and signing a contract or something is naturally valid, but both of them naturally have a signing fee, but according to the current value of the two, they are not very good, even if Wen Xijun is now a variety show newcomer who is rising quickly, he is also a variety show newcomer.
Tang Menglong is not a philanthropist, so the signing fee for Wen Xijun is 70 million, while Cui Shengxi is only 50 million.
And now the highest signing fee in the Korean entertainment industry is naturally Lee Hyo-ri's 1.5 billion.
However, these three people are indeed not comparable, of course, the main reason is that the part of the album released for the two has been added, this kind of hard commitment has represented sincerity, and there is also a three-year agreement in the contract that can be divided into changes, which is also a very strong part, so the two naturally have no objection to this signing fee.
Of course, it is true that the signing fee for Moon Hee-jun is naturally lower, but it is fair to Choi Sung-hee.
However, unlike the warm Tang Menglong, although Han Caiying also greeted everyone with a smile, it was just that, and the five girls couldn't figure out why.
However, Tang Menglong, Wen Xijun and Cui Shengxi understood something, so when signing the contract, Wen Xijun and Cui Shengxi did not have anything close to Han Chaeyoung, but called her Director Han. (To be continued......)
