Chapter 128: No Fear
Ye Luo was surprised and turned his head to look at his girlfriend.
From these words, he heard obvious anger, this was the first time he had seen Chu Mo'er angry since he met her.
In his impression, Chu Mo'er's words and deeds on weekdays are very considerate of the feelings of others, and there are never fierce words, even negative feelings.
Just now, when Xiong Pinggui took out the harsh standard contract, she was just a little sullen, and even the tone of her voice was soft and soft.
But this time, when Universal Entertainment used her as a bargaining chip to put pressure on Ye Luo, intentionally or unintentionally, she was unusually resolute.
As soon as Chu Mo'er said this, not to mention Ye Luo, even Xiong Pinggui and the others were stunned for a while.
"If that's the case, I'm not going to sign with Universal!" Chu Mo'er stared at the professional manager with a pair of phoenix eyes, and reiterated again.
"Don't sign?" At this time, Legal Manager Zhang, who had been sitting opposite Ye Luo and did not speak, finally came back to his senses and said word by word with a straight face, "I'm afraid this can't be caused by Miss Chu, Miss Chu, don't forget, you signed an agreement of intent with Universal Entertainment, do you want to breach the contract?" ”
Hearing the breach of contract, Chu Mo'er's whole body shook slightly, and she was choked for a while.
Ye Luo stretched out his hand and patted her back gently, signaling not to worry, then looked at the manager Zhang and asked lightly, "Breach of contract?" Please forgive me for my bad memory, I don't know what Manager Zhang refers to when he talks about breach of contract? ”
"You are not allowed to join any record company for two years, and you are not allowed to participate in any commercial performance activities in the name of individuals and cutting-edge girls."
This manager is in charge of legal affairs, and his business level seems to be good, and he remembers the paper agreement like a stream, "once it is breached." You need to pay a penalty of 5 million. ”
"I see." Ye Luo seemed to have been reminded, then turned his head to ask Xiong Pinggui, and said with a slight smile, "Vice President Xiong, what do you think of these consequences?" For me and Chu Mo'er now, is it strict? ”
Xiong Pinggui was slightly stunned, and then his brain began to run wildly.
Universal Entertainment, now the largest record company in China, has the most abundant strength and resources in the music industry, and has always been in a strong position for its singers.
This kind of strength makes the board of directors and he, a professional manager, good. has formed a kind of thinking inertia: in the face of Universal's invitation, no one will refuse, and every artist who faces Universal Entertainment, except for a diva-level singer like Deng Qi, is trembling and submissive, for fear of offending the largest and most widely channelized record company in China.
Ye Luo and Chu Mo'er were only forty years old combined, and Xiong Pinggui originally felt that he only needed to use a little trick. Naturally, they will obediently.
But Ye Luo's rhetorical question was like a hammer. Woke him up all at once!
This young man is not easy to deal with!
Just when Xiong Pinggui thought so, Ye Luo smiled slightly and said directly: "If it is an ordinary talent singer, the price of this breach of contract is indeed unbearable. Two years of banning is enough to silence a talent singer. The liquidated damages of five million are even more huge economic pressure for these singers whose careers have just started. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Luo's tone changed, and he said, "But is Mo'er an ordinary talent singer?" I guess not. Let's not talk about Mo'er's own condition and ability. Just two years of silence. It didn't matter to Mo'er, she was just in time to finish her studies. And two years later, let me be arrogant, as long as I continue to write new songs for her to sing, no matter which platform she releases, it will not be difficult for her to be popular. ”
"Oh, Mr. Ye, Miss Chu is so popular now, why do you have to wait until two years later?" Xiong Pinggui wiped the sweat from his face.
"That's right, Mo'er is very popular now, and there really doesn't have to wait until two years later, because even if it defaults, it's only five million." Ye Luo smiled slightly and said, "Does Vice President Xiong think that I, Ye Luo, can't raise this money now?" ”
"This ......" Xiong Pinggui was speechless for a while, he knew that what Ye Luo said was the truth.
In fact, when the intention agreement was first drafted, even Universal Entertainment didn't expect that the cutting-edge girl and Chu Mo'er would become so popular.
Now it seems that the restrictions that were set at the beginning were still too pediatric.
In just one month, in the eyes of Universal Entertainment, almost all of the top four players who would be more or less able to cast a bogey on this agreement have become full-fledged, and Chu Mo'er among them can easily break free.
And the reason for this qiē, intentionally or unintentionally, is the fall of the leaves in front of you.
Ye Luo's seven new songs in a row have made the cutting-edge girls continue to heat up, which greatly exceeded Universal Entertainment's original estimate, and also made the previous agreement of intent weak.
The liquidated damages of five million are indeed not a problem for the current Ye Luo. As long as he opens his mouth, other record companies other than Universal, such as Dream Records, Ethereal Paradise, Sunshine Records, etc., will be happy to hand over the check, and by the way, he will be given another position as music director.
The price of breach of contract, for Ye Luo and Chu Mo'er, is actually not strict.
But on the other hand, Chu Moer and Ye Luo, no matter which record company they go to for these five million, is an irreparable loss for Universal Entertainment.
Their current market is far more than five million, and in the final analysis, the initiative in this negotiation has always been in his hands!
Xiong Pinggui couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat again, because he found that in this negotiation, the advantage of Universal was really not big.
However, the legal manager Zhang opposite Ye Luo didn't seem to be convinced, snorted coldly, and said, "Mr. Ye, please don't ignore the comprehensive strength of our Universal Entertainment. We have the best team of lawyers, and if Miss Chu really breaches the contract, we can ......"
"Manager Zhang!" Xiong Pinggui hurriedly interrupted. Then he turned his head and smiled at Ye Luo, "Hehe, there is nothing but human affection outside the law, how can we use that intention agreement to embarrass Miss Chu?" After all, we came with sincerity. ”
As he spoke, Xiong Pinggui turned his head and glanced at him, signaling the stereotypical legal manager not to open his mouth.
After stopping Manager Zhang from speaking with his eyes, Xiong Pinggui looked at Ye Luo, and the smile on his face was extremely bright: "If there is anything inappropriate in my Xiong and Manager Zhang's words just now, please also invite Mr. Ye and Miss Chu Haihan, we are global, and the sincerity of inviting Miss Chu and Mr. Ye is very sufficient, and Mr. Ye, you see, now that public opinion is so intensive, if the negotiations break down, I think it will not be good for everyone." ”
Ye Luo smiled noncommittally and took a sip of the tea in front of him.
Xiong Pinggui is worthy of being a professional manager, and he is not angry at all for Ye Luo's somewhat indifferent behavior, seeing that Ye Luo did not speak, he immediately said: "Otherwise, Mr. Ye, you see that you and Miss Chu, if you have any specific requirements, you can put them forward and discuss them in detail." ”
Ye Luo saw that the other party was relieved, and knew that it was time to express his position, so he nodded and said: "Naturally, there are requirements, but I haven't thought about the specifics for the time being." I don't think Vice President Xiong wants us to talk so hastily. We are going back to Shangdu this afternoon, and we might as well talk about further matters after you come to Shangdu. ”
Xiong Pinggui was slightly stunned and said, "Mr. Ye, if the time drags on for too long......
Ye Luo stood up, took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said: "Let's do it first, Vice President Xiong should have our contact information, and after you arrive in Shangdu, you can contact us directly." Until we have a clear result with Global, we will not contact other companies for the time being, please rest assured. ”
Xiong Pinggui saw that Ye Luo had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to stand up and shake hands with Ye Luo: "Okay, we will do our best to rush to Shangdu, and I hope that Mr. Ye will be ready by then." ”
……
Seeing off the negotiator of Universal Entertainment, Ye Luo glanced at Chu Mo'er beside him and said with a smile: "It's really worthy of being a Miaoyin Fairy, it's so good-looking to start the fire just now." ”
Chu Mo'er was a little embarrassed, and said softly: "Just now, was I too impulsive?" ”
Ye Luo shook his head: "I know, you have always been quiet, and this time you are angry for me." ”
"yes, they're too good." Chu Mo'er frowned slightly and said, "I actually want to use my contract to bind you, so I won't let them do this." ”
Ye Luo said with a solemn expression: "This Vice President Xiong is still very difficult to entangle, after returning to Shangdu, we will go to find a professional who understands this area." ”
"Hmm." Chu Mo'er nodded.
While the two were talking, Wang Nicole ran out in a rage and said with a smile: "Wow! Mo'er, I found good news on the Internet! ”
"What's the good news?" Chu Mo'er asked.
"It's about Mo'er's advertising invitation, not just one!"
……
In the elevator of the guest house of Tianjing Entertainment Terrace, Zhang Xing, the legal manager of Universal Entertainment, looked at Xiong Pinggui beside him, and stopped talking.
Xiong Pinggui glanced at him and said, "I know what you're thinking. If we use a team of lawyers to fight to the death, it will indeed make Ye Luo and Chu Mo'er anxious, their reputations damaged, and even pay a greater price than five million. ”
"Then why ......"
"But you can't do that." Xiong Pinggui interrupted, "Now we have received advertising endorsement invitations from dozens of large enterprises to Chu Moer, and the advertising fees involved have been hundreds of millions. If we completely fall out with them, will your lawyer give me this hundreds of millions of endorsement fees? ”
"......" Manager Zhang was silent for a while.
"I just hope that the cooked duck doesn't fly now." Xiong Pinggui sighed, "Otherwise, I, the vice president, and you, the legal manager, don't have to do it." (To be continued......)
