Chapter 250: Contract Issues
Things intensified, and gradually rose to the height that artists on both sides had to stand up.
Shen Lian is also a little angry, when he clarified his position and advised fans to stop fighting, if Liu Yifei could show up and express his attitude, it would not have developed into the current situation.
Now let him suppress the fans again?
That's a dream, how can he be able to suppress these excited fans.
After dealing with the advertising matters, Shen Lian came to the headquarters of Orange Sky Entertainment Company to have a showdown with the company's boss Wu Kebo.
Although Orange Sky Entertainment has had close cooperation with many big-name artists since its establishment, there are not many artists who have been promoted. is more often to sign cooperation agreements with some Hong Kong star studios, and at the same time recruit some mainland second-tier actors. Shen Lian came out of his own company, and Tong Dawei can be regarded as a step up in his career after coming to Orange Sky.
Although he already knew that it was the mainstream trend for mixed stars to open their own studios, Shen Lian was Orange Sky's biological son after all, or the future leader in the circle, and after getting the idea of Shen Lian's intention to open a personal studio from Zhang Ting, Wu Kebo still wanted to try to keep it.
"The issue of treatment can be discussed in detail, and the commission can be adjusted. I know that the percentage of commission that the company has set in your contract is a bit exaggerated, so we will make changes and compensate for it. "Wu Kebo gave his own terms. Anyway, when he saw the contract that Shen Lian had signed, he was also startled, which turtle son set the terms. The percentage of film and television music is so high, and the percentage of advertising is so low.
"Mr. Wu, it's really not a matter of money. I just want to be more independent in the future to arrange my work and development path. Personally, I am very grateful to the company for its meticulous protection and relatively laissez-faire tolerance in recent years. In the future, my personal studio will also be affiliated with the name of Orange Sky. Continuing to work closely with the company is just a matter of moving from an employment relationship to a partnership. Shen Lian had already made a decision in his heart at this time. So the words are more dead.
"If you have to go, then your resources may be limited for the next period of time. After all, the company is to make long-term profits, and resources can no longer be tilted towards you. Wu Kebo reminded. Everyone is a smart person, and some things are destined to be irreparable, so it can only be made clear.
"I have signed a performance contract for "Eavesdropping" before. I won't be acting in any more films and TV productions after the filming of this drama is over until the end of the contract. Aside from some necessary advertising endorsements, film premieres, and major award ceremonies, I don't deliberately appear in public anymore. Shen Lian calmly faced the company's refrigeration decision.
"Well, you can also seize this year or so to enrich yourself. There are still opportunities for cooperation in the future. "Shen Lian is very familiar with current affairs, and Wu Kebo is also very calm. He also knew that Shen Lian was not destined to be an artist who could be frozen by refrigeration, but he needed to give a warning to the other artists in the company anyway.
Shen Lian left the office, and Wu Kebo immediately picked up the internal phone on the desk: "Inform An Sheng to come to my office, as well as Shen Lian's agent Zhang Ting." ”
About 10 minutes later, An Sheng, one of the company's department heads, appeared in Wu Kebo's office with Zhang Ting.
"You all know the news that Shen Lian will no longer renew his contract with the company?" Wu Kebo would love to hear what the two capable men have to say.
Judging by the tone, it should be very resolute. And a well-thought-out decision. Judging from Shen Lian's consistent style of acting, there should not be much chance of recovery. "Arcelon's rational analysis gave his own judgment.
"What about the solution. Director An, Miss Zhang. I hope to get your advice. ”
"Generally for this kind of artist, the practice of general domestic entertainment brokerage companies is either refrigeration or squeezing. The latter is the majority. An Sheng said slowly: "But on the one hand, Shen Lian cherishes his feathers very much, and his eyes are vicious. Unless it's a replacement of resources, I won't star in low-quality works. However, when the company signed the contract with him, it did not give him a signing fee, if we angered him and forced the tiger to jump over the wall to terminate the contract, I believe that the termination fee will not exceed 8 million. "The terms of the contract have been carefully analysed over the past week.
"What I want to say is that Shen Lian's mother is a prosecutor. The legal provisions of the contract are better understood than you and me. Moreover, Huayi also took a fancy to him at that time and contacted him in advance. If we can't give such conditions, we may not be able to sign him. Zhang Ting's voice was raised and reminded solemnly.
"I don't mean to blame Miss Zhang, indeed, Shen Lian's development momentum is indeed too strong, so fierce that we are not ready, he already has enough solo flying strength." An Sheng looked at Zhang Ting apologetically, saying that he had no intention of offending, and helped explain by the way.
"The analysis is so thorough, does Director An have any ideas?" I didn't just come to the two of them to listen to them analyze these problems. Problem solving is key.
"My personal thoughts, in three steps. The first step is to end the contract with Shen Lian early at the right time as a support for him to open his own studio. An Sheng paused, Wu Kebo and Zhang Ting's expressions were not good-looking, obviously this joke was not funny.
"The second step, Mr. Wu, take a look at this information." An Sheng handed Wu Kebo a document he had prepared.
"Who are these two girls?" Wu Kebo opened the text folder, and it was the personal information of Mo Zitong and Song Qian.
"One of the girls, Mo Zitong, is Shen Lian's cousin. I've been studying with our music director, Hu Yu, and another girl, Song Qian, is a newcomer that the company discovered last year. As far as I know, Shen Lian is very good to the two, and once mentioned to Miss Zhang about the debut of the two of them. He even chose the name 'V' for the duo's combination, because the English names of the two are Victoria and Verona respectively. My personal mention is that I recently signed a debut agreement with the duo to release the debut album of the 'V' group immediately after the release of Shen Lian's third album. An Sheng gave his own advice: "Mo Zitong, a girl, has not signed a contract with the company for the time being, but in terms of singing skills, it can be said that she is out of the blue, and a little training is no less than Shen Lian." Song Qian has outstanding dancing skills and is also a newcomer with great potential. I have to admit that Shen Lian has a very accurate eye for people. ”
"So optimistic about these two people, does Director An want to take the two of them personally? Don't forget, Mo Zitong did not sign a contract with the company. Zhang Ting couldn't help but remind.
"Shen Lian will agree to Mo Zitong signing a contract with the company. The resources in Shen Lian's hands are enough to provide him with the development of the film industry, how can he have the ability to help his sister launch an album. Ansheng said disdainfully.
"Don't forget, Shen Lian's good buddy Jay Chou's Jewell Music Company." Zhang Ting said.
"Shen Lian opened his own studio, and if there was no protection from the company at the media level, he would encounter trouble. Since he agreed that the studio would be affiliated with the company, this must be taken into account. It doesn't do him any good to have to go far and wide. ”
I have to admit that ACCEL's analysis makes a lot of sense. Wu Kebo nodded and asked, "What about the third step?" ”
"For the first three albums of the 'V' group, Shen Lian had to write at least 12 high-quality songs to supply them. In public and private, I believe that Shen Lian will not refuse this proposal, plus another condition, Shen Lian's album contract must be left to Orange Sky, and if these two agreements are reached, the company will terminate the employment relationship with Shen Lian in advance at the appropriate time. The price of Shen Lian's 12 songs has reached the amount of liquidated damages, and from a monetary point of view, we are not at a loss. If you can follow the red 'V' combination, you can make up for the loss caused by Shen Lian's departure. Ansheng looked very confident. And Zhang Ting's expression is also very playful.
