Chapter 8 Original Intention
Grilling live shrimp, Lin Yuhang began to ask Wang Jinghua for advice: "Sister Hua, my Tianma is going to sign some rookie actors for training, but I really don't have much experience in this area, for example, what is the current domestic brokerage contract?" ”
"Newcomers need a lot of investment, and the risk will be relatively high, so the newcomer's brokerage contract should be signed as long as possible, at least ten years, and the specific brokerage contract is of course based on the interests of the company and brokers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Wang Jinghua said very directly, she saw the expression of surprise on Lin Yuhang's face, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin, you may not know the risks of this industry, let me calculate it for you, an artist will spend 200 yuan a week to eat, 1,000 yuan can take artist photos, 40,000 yuan can produce singles, 500,000 yuan can release albums and MTV, 10 million can make TV series and movies, if a newcomer is 500,000, then ten artists are 5 million, and there is still a lot of time risk cost, and the agent also has to buy a car, buy a house, eat and support his family, so calculate carefully, The cost of praising people is very high, and the most worrying thing is that after the artist becomes popular, some of them become white-eyed wolves, so the brokerage contract must not only choose the right person to sign at the beginning, but also the conditions must be harsh. ”
Lin Yuhang nodded seriously, the woman in front of her is very rational, from the perspective of doing business, artist management must also be implemented in this way.
"There are more than 200,000 groups in Beipiao, there are too many people who want to be famous, this industry is our decision, or money, and newcomers must pay a certain price if they want to be famous."
"What is the general treatment of a newcomer?"
"After removing the cost of training, just give 7 or 8 percent to the newcomer."
"So little?"
"It's already a lot, it's hard for a newcomer to bring you any benefits at the beginning, if you want to lose some yourself...... Of course, if the artist is willing to pay for it himself, cooperation is another matter, and I am talking about a grassroots newcomer who is popular. ”
Wang Jinghua thinks that the big writer in front of him is very interesting, obviously he is already world-famous in writing, and he can make a lot of money by writing casually every year, even if he doesn't write, he can make celebrity endorsements and the like, and it is not impossible to earn n billion yuan a year, but he has to invest in the entertainment industry that he is not familiar with.
To be a businessman, you can't have mercy.
"Listening to your words is better than writing a book for ten years!" Lin Yuhang smiled a little embarrassedly, he was indeed a novice in starting a company.
"Mr. Lin, don't say that, I'm just talking about a newcomer to brokerage, like you have strength, resources, and people, I believe that your Tianma can become stronger and bigger."
"Sister Hua has won the award, but it's a pity that I can't work with Sister Hua...... I don't know if Sister Hua can help me recommend someone who is more experienced in the brokerage industry, I believe that there must be many of your apprentices in Huayi. ”
Lin Yuhang told the main purpose of asking her over, that's right, since Wang Jinghua can't dig it, at least let her recommend an agent elite who is not as good as her.
After all, there is still a good chance that the two will cooperate in the future.
Wang Jinghua was not too surprised when she heard him say this, after all, her status in the brokerage circle was dictatory, and she couldn't find anyone else except for her.
"Let me think about it."
She pondered for a while and said: "Huayi does have a girl with strong brokerage ability, but whether she can jump to your company depends on whether Mr. Lin is willing to pay liquidated damages for two people." ”
"Liquidated damages for two people?" Lin Yuhang was a little puzzled.
"Yes, my company has an agent named Li Xiuxiu, she has a good background, graduated from a bachelor's degree in media journalism, and has the awareness and vision of an agent, but she joined Huayi to stay with her sister to work, her sister is our Huayi's current popular female artist, that is, Li Bingbing, who plays Ling Chuchu in the just-released "Young Bao Qingtian".
Wang Jinghua said very seriously, the reason why she recommended the sisters to Lin Yuhang is indeed because the sisters are good enough, but in fact, the great writer Lin Yuhang in front of her, as long as he holds one Li Bingbing, he is stronger than ten new artists.
And Li Bingbing is actually a newcomer who has just debuted in their brokerage circle.
"Li Bingbing......" Lin Yuhang's expression was relatively rich, and he never dreamed that Wang Jinghua would recommend this future superstar to him.
"What are the liquidated damages for the two?" He asked.
"500,000 each, a million in total."
"Will they come to me?"
"Of course it will, how could it not, she is the first sister here, with your strength Mr. Lin, plus the talent and diligence of the sisters, I dare to guarantee that within two or three years, she will earn you back the cost."
Wang Jinghua is telling the truth, and Lin Yuhang also thinks so.
"Okay, then take the time to ask them out for a talk in the next few days."
"No problem, it's okay tomorrow, they just came back from Xiangjiang today."
"Okay, that's it."
Lin Yuhang got up and shook hands with her, and sent Wang Jinghua out of the restaurant with a smile.
Turning around, he took out a Zhongnanhai from his pocket and smoked it with a smile.
He chatted with Wang Jinghua for a while, and felt that he had absorbed a lot of negative energy from her, such as the harsh treatment of newcomer artists, if you think about it from the perspective of the boss, it is indeed a great risk for every newcomer, but he Lin Yuhang is not a real businessman, but even if he is a businessman, he also has the ability to predict the future, and there may be risks, but it is definitely the lowest and lowest in his place.
"Seven or eight percent is a bit low, but the royalties from my first novel were the same!"
Lin Yuhang thinks about it, which industry is not like this, whose success is not exploitation, what does a newcomer want?
But he turned his head and thought about it, if he was going to exploit the newcomer, wouldn't it mean that he had become the owner of his publishing house again?
In this way, newcomers have become stars, and I am afraid that the first thing they will do after becoming famous is to change jobs.
What Wang Jinghua taught him was the experience of running a good company, but it was definitely not her method of managing artists.
Therefore, Lin Yuhang thought about it and decided to formulate a relatively fair sharing ratio from the perspective of an artist.
He thinks that among the artist agents of Tianma Film and Television Company, it is better to imitate the actor hierarchy of American Hollywood.
In Hollywood, it is generally divided into 6 levels: [Superstar], [Superstar], [Quasi-Superstar & Top Movie Star], [Famous Movie Star], [Movie Star & Famous Actor], and [Actor].
There are three criteria for distinguishing this level, the first is the salary, the second is the classic movie and TV series works, and the fourth is the award of the work and the actor.
Lin Yuhang was too lazy to innovate, so he decided to use the Hollywood rating directly.
As for the proportion of contract sharing, Lin Yuhang decided not to change his original intention and firmly not exploit newcomers, and he decided to subversively improve the treatment of newcomers.
The lowest [actor] company will take 60%, and the highest [superstar] company will only take 10%, so as to decrease.
As follows: [Actor] Sixty percent
[Movie star & well-known actor] fifty percent
[Famous movie star] forty percent
[Quasi-superstar, top movie star] Sancheng
[Superstar] 20%.
【Superstar】Issei
According to this rating, a signed rookie actor in Tianma can draw forty percent at the beginning, which is 57 times higher than the share of peers!
Of course, this also means that the threshold for actors to join Tianma will be 57 times more difficult than that of peer brokerage companies!
Because, every actor joining Tianma will be Lin Yuhang's personal decision, and he is confident that every Tianma actor can at least become a [famous movie star].
