Chapter 23: Choose Not to Choose!
Signing with a brokerage company is the point where most people become famous.
When you enter the company, the company will arrange a broker and packaging team for you, and all your dreams can take off here. As long as the company can see your popularity and economic benefits, then it is not a problem to release records, hold concerts, attend various advertising events and even participate in film and television dramas. As long as you have the network of economic companies, you can avoid many detours on the road of singing and even interpretation.
Becoming a signed star seems glamorous, but it is also a battle within the brokerage company. Because of limited resources, it is impossible to promote artists according to the principle of equal distribution. Therefore, unspoken rules, intrigue and even PY trading are inevitable. If you blindly wait for the company's arrangement, then you can only end up being trampled under the feet of someone with a heart.
Although Lu Yunfeng in his previous life had not personally experienced this so-called entertainment industry, he had heard a lot of gossip outside the circle. So he shuddered just by hearing about signing a contract or something. Looking at Wang Kaixuan's stiff expression, I couldn't figure out if this person would be a domineering president with a special habit in secret......
The most important thing is that when you sign with an agency, everything about your ideas, works, image rights, neighboring rights, etc., is in the hands of the company. As long as it is necessary for promotion, even if you want to have an affair with an ugly female star or something, you have to go to the soup and go to the fire. At that time, personal freedom will be gone!
In other words, if you don't sign a contract, Tahoe Entertainment or The Voice of Dongguo will not push you as a grassroots player at all. Without the guarantee of contracting, there is no benefit. It is more likely to push the boat down the river and indirectly cultivate talents for other competitors, which is a stupid thing that a well-known brokerage company like Tahoe will never risk doing.
Lu Yunfeng had already expected that there would be a signing event to find him after he was promoted, but he didn't expect that all this would come so quickly.
Just as he was stunned and sighed, there was a round of applause in the conference room. Judging from the expectant expressions on the faces of the players, most of them are Wang Kaixuan who has finished his speech.
Next, the in-house counsel sitting next to him handed over a sample of the artist's contract to the contestants to circulate. And Wang Kaixuan is waiting for everyone's questions.
The first to speak was expected to be Zhang Ke, a beautiful and somewhat stupid woman. But this kind of big-chested and brainless is the most popular with people with status and wealth. It's simple, it's brutal, you just need to give them money and fame, and you can obediently keep them around.
"Hello Mr. Wang, I am Zhang Ke, a contestant from The Voice of the East, in Teacher Aqi's group."
Wang Kaixuan's eyelids only twitched slightly, and there was no emotion on his scheming face.
"I know you, we Tahoe have been following you for a while, 'Night Cat's First Singer', right?"
"That's right! I didn't expect you to watch the live APP! Zhang Ke said excitedly. She thought that industry leaders like Wang Kaixuan were not interested in such a niche entertainment platform at all, but she didn't expect to hear such an answer in his mouth. For a moment, her cheeks flushed, and excitement was clearly written on her face.
"If you can successfully sign a contract with Tahoe Entertainment, we will give you the same treatment as a first-line star." Wang Kaixuan is colorful.
"Really, really?"
"My king triumphantly said one and the same."
Zhang Ke listened to it and didn't know how to be happy. The contract had been in her hands for a while, and if it weren't for the next player's urging, she might have been ready to sign it on the spot. And the other players, when they saw the column of Party B's rights and interests, also showed the same yearning look.
"You all leave contact information with my assistant, and she will send the sample of the contract to your mailbox when you go back, and I need a clear opinion from you in three days, OK?"
"No problem."
"Of course it's no problem, I'm always bothered."
"Be sure to give you an answer on time."
All the players present gave quick answers, but Lu Yunfeng and Zhang Lei were still carefully looking at the regulations in the contract and did not say a word.
Lu Yunfeng ignored those rights and interests, and directly turned the contract to the part of the term. The time frame written in this model was eight years, and by that time, he would be a full thirty years old.
"Those two little friends who didn't speak, are there anything you don't know what I mean?" Wang Kaixuan raised his eyebrows.
"I'm fine, it's just a little slippery." Zhang Lei scratched his head embarrassedly.
"The one next to you?"
"I understand everything, but it's just a little unclear." Lu Yunfeng said truthfully: "Is there any room for discussion in your company's contract years?" ”
"I'm sorry, but the contracts of our company's artists are all eight years old, and there is no room for negotiation." Wang Kaixuan crossed his hands together and looked at Lu Yunfeng with a smile.
Eight years is the most precious part of a person's life. Young and vigorous, daring, dead and alive. If you bet on the best part of your life on a company, it is simply a joke in Lu Yunfeng's opinion.
As the last player to pass the contract, he respectfully exchanged it into the hands of Tahoe's legal officer, and then silently saluted Wang Kaixuan. Although he never said a word "no", he showed his attitude with his actions.
The war with Tahoe Entertainment and The Voice of the East has begun, and at the very beginning, Lu Yunfeng chose to correct his attitude.
Not to mention Wang Kaixuan, even if it is Wang tearing onions, he still doesn't buy it.
You should make your own decisions about your own life!
"Young man, I'll send you a word." Wang Kaixuan stopped Lu Yunfeng and said lightly: "It's easy to choose to give up, but it's difficult to choose to persevere." I know you young people are always afraid of choice, but a bold decision has the potential to change your life. It's too early, and I'll be waiting for your answer in three days. ”
"Thank you Mr. Wang for your guidance, I will think about it." Lu Yunfeng said.
"Yes, in this case, my assistant will contact you after the meeting, and I hope you can realize your dream as soon as possible. The door of Tahoe Entertainment will always be open for you. ”
Wang Kaixuan said, straightened his high-end shirt, and then left the conference room of Zhejiang TV Media with his own staff one after another. The players seem to be still in the joy of being signed by Tahoe Entertainment, and they are all happy and can't extricate themselves. Especially Zhang Ke, at this time, she has already opened her touted live broadcast room, and she can't wait to announce the good news that she is about to become a signed artist of Tahoe as soon as possible.
Lu Yunfeng glanced at her lightly, turned to Zhang Lei beside him and said, "Brother, let's go, don't you want to go back to class today?" ”
"Brother Lu, don't talk about this, I'll be even more entangled if you talk about this again." Zhang Lei hung his head in distress.
