Chapter 128: Wave after Wave
"Boss, something big has happened, Zhou Xun and her agent Li Wan will not renew the contract." There was shock in Chang Jihong's words, but more excitement.
"Oh!" Lin Yuquan groaned lightly, not too surprised, of course he was not surprised, the last time he was in the crew of "Red Cliff", Liu Yifei mentioned this matter to him, and he had a guess at that time.
"Boss, you already know." Chang Jihong heard the meaning of Lin Yuquan's words, and asked in surprise, she knew that Lin Yuquan was filming, and it stands to reason that she should not have seen the news at this time.
"Well, when filming "Red Cliff", Yifei told me that Zhou Xun was asking her about our Yuquan family." Lin Yuquan told Chang Jihong what was on the ship at that time.
"Boss, why didn't you say it earlier." Chang Jihong complained and said, "But it's not too late, we can take action right away." ”
"Don't worry, although I know that Zhou Xun has terminated the contract, I haven't read the report, you can tell me the details of the matter first!" Lin Yuquan said calmly.
"Okay, that's it," Chang Jihong said immediately.
It turned out that after the Cheng Bao reported the unilateral termination dispute between Huang Shengyi and Xinghui Film and Television Company, just as the situation was getting more and more intense, ZTE got the news yesterday that Zhou Xun had broken up with Li Wan, a famous agent who was popular with her and Chen Kun, and quietly ended the seven-year contract relationship.
As soon as the incident came out, it immediately caused a great shock in the entertainment industry, and the relationship between Huang Shengyi and Xinghui deteriorated, and finally broke down, and even needed to be different from Bo Gongtang, the relationship between Zhou Xun and Li Wan was extraordinary.
Since the successful cooperation in "Daming Palace Ci". Zhou Xun officially signed a contract with Li Wan, and then with Li Wan's dedicated help, she and Zhou Xun, Zhang Ziyi, Zhao Wei, and Xu Jinglei became the "Four Little Flowers" in the mouth of the media. "Four Flowers" has become one of the most popular young actresses in China. And the relationship between her and Li Wan has always been like a family, Zhou Xun has also called Li Wan "godmother" in public many times, with the relationship between the two, it is really hard for the outside world to imagine that the two would choose to break up.
And Li Wan's statement is also ambiguous, only vaguely revealing that the two did not renew the contract not because of relationship problems, and said that this was a decision she made after thinking about it for a long time and finally making up her mind, but the real reason is unknown.
As a senior broker. Chang Jihong already had an idea in his mind the first time he saw the news, so he hurriedly contacted Lin Yuquan and let him make a decision.
"Boss, let's contact her quickly and try to sign her!" Chang Jihong said with longing.
"Don't worry, how is the operation of the brokerage company at the moment? Is there enough staff to take care of her brokerage for her? Lin Yuquan understands Chang Jihong's feelings as a manager of a brokerage company and is eager to sign a big-name artist, but what he cares about is whether signing Zhou Xun will affect the company's operation after signing Huang Bo and Xu Zheng in a row recently. After all, Zhou Xun's current status and influence are far from being comparable to Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, and her agent team is relatively more luxurious than the two.
"No problem. After this period of time, I have a lot of senior agents now, and we only need to recruit agent assistants and corresponding makeup artists and drivers. Chang Jihong replied dryly.
"That's good, but it's not easy to sign a weekly report, are you sure?" Lin Yuquan muttered, with the current influence of Zhouxun, not only in China, but even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, as long as the film and television brokerage companies with their own strength are afraid that they will move to compete for Zhouxun. The competition will be fierce and the price will be extremely high. The signing fee alone is not a small amount.
"I'm not sure, but how do you know if you don't try. And looking at the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, what can pose a threat to us is actually Huayi Brothers, Haiyu Film and Television, Emperor Entertainment, Tang Film and Television and other brokerage companies, after all, although our Yuquan family has not been established for a long time, its strength is not weak, especially the boss You and Ning Hao, two talented directors, if she wants to have a better development on the big screen, we are definitely one of her excellent choices. Among them, the biggest threat should be the Huayi brothers, Zhou Xun has just become the starring role of Feng Xiaogang's new film "Night Banquet", I am afraid that they have secretly reached a signing agreement, even if not, there is a link between director Feng Xiaogang and "Night Banquet", due to the relationship between the cooperation, Zhou Xun will also be more inclined to sign Huayi Brothers, but we are not completely hopeless, no matter what, we have to fight for it. Chang Jihong is worthy of being a gold medal agent, and she knows everything about the brokerage industry, so she said without any pause.
"Do your best, don't worry too much." Lin Yuquan said gently, for him, the original intention of setting up a brokerage company was to provide help for himself and his friends in their acting careers, making money is only secondary, it is of course good to be able to sign the weekly news, but it doesn't matter if you don't sign it.
"Okay, but if Zhou Xun is really interested, then you may need to trouble the boss to go out in person, after all, boss, you just cooperated with her in "Red Cliff", and it will be better to communicate." Chang Jihong is obviously ready to play the favor card, and Lin Yuquan can also show his sincerity.
"No problem, being able to drink coffee alone with a big beauty like Zhou Xun is something that many people can't ask for." Lin Yuquan chuckled.
"It seems that I have to do everything I can, otherwise I will live up to your boss's expectations." Chang Jihong said with a smile.
"It's good to know, since you are actively asking for battle, then I will treat it as a task for you, take her, and I will wait for your good news." Lin Yuquan also smiled.
"Hehe, I'll fight for it."
"Yuquan, what's wrong with Zhou Xun?" Seeing Lin Yuquan hang up the phone, Zhu Yawen immediately leaned over and asked.
"This still needs to be asked, didn't Director Lin just say that it was very difficult to sign a weekly report? If my guess is correct, it should be the same situation as Huang Shengyi, Zhou Xun terminated the contract with the brokerage company, and Mr. Chang has the intention to sign her to our Yuquan family, hehe, if Zhou Xun comes, the gap between our Yuquan family and Huayi brothers will be further narrowed. Before Lin Yuquan could speak, Huang Bo glanced at Zhu Yawen and said cracklingly.
Luo Jin and Liu Ye glanced at each other and were very shocked, what happened during this time, brokerage turmoil happened one after another, and from the perspective of influence, if Zhou Xun really terminated the contract, the impact would be great.
"Really?" Zhu Yawen hurriedly asked.
Luo Jin also showed a concerned expression.
"Huang Bo's reaction was very fast, but I didn't say it accurately, in fact, after Zhou Xun's brokerage contract expired, he didn't continue to renew the contract with her agent Li Wan, saying that you guys, why are you so curious, let's go back at night to see it, don't delay the shooting." Lin Yuquan scolded with a smile.
"Yuquan, will Zhou Xun really come to our company?" Zhu Yawen had a hint of eagerness on his face.
"The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, how can it be so easy, and even if she comes to our company, you don't have any fun, others and her boyfriend, the relationship is good!" Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
"What are you looking at me like this, really, I didn't have the idea of Zhou Xun, as a fan of Zhou Xun, can't I care about her situation?" Zhu Yawen said angrily.
"Cut !!" Everyone gestured in unison with a disdainful gesture.
In the next few days, Lin Yuquan was filming in his spare time, paying close attention to the situation of the launch of the Dawning Network, the Dawning Network was officially launched on August 1, after the launch, Lin Yuquan put a few videos of his boxing as he did last time he was online, not only that, but he also asked his friends who are familiar with him in the entertainment industry to upload his videos, due to the participation of a number of stars, the Dawning Network has attracted widespread attention from the beginning, in this regard, Tudou Network is completely incomparable, and it was directly killed in seconds.
Later, Lin Yuquan asked the person in charge of Shuguang.com to allocate 40 million from the 80 million funds invested to promote and purchase the video broadcast rights of high-quality film and television programs, in fact, BE did not buy any film and television copyrights, but this is mainly because the domestic situation is different from the United States, Americans are more open-minded, like shows, and they have a strong willingness to upload videos independently, but the Chinese people are more conservative in this regard, if they only rely on uploaded videos, due to the small number, it is not enough for users to watch.
In this way, the user stickiness is not strong, and the user stickiness is not strong, which will cause the user's visit duration and frequency to be low, which is not conducive to the development of Shuguang.com, so it is imperative to purchase the copyright of film and television drama network playback.
Therefore, in terms of video broadcast copyright of high-quality film and television programs, Lin Yuquan attaches the most importance to it, for this reason, 30 million of the 40 million are used on it, and it is expensive to be fine, not much, and the number of broadcasts of a high-quality TV series is definitely more than a hundred shoddy TV series.
In order to ensure the quality of film and television dramas, he and Ning Hao, Xiao Yang, Gao Xixi, and Liu Meng also provided a list of high-quality film and television dramas according to their own judgments, and then Shuguang sent someone to talk.
In terms of specific cooperation, different prices are given according to the time of copyright, three years, five years, ten years, the longer the time, the more favorable the price, in order to obtain the exclusive online video broadcast copyright for a long time.
Due to limited funds, for the time being, Lin Yuquan's goal is to target film and television dramas in the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and as for a wider range of variety shows and overseas film and television dramas, he is ready to wait until the next year, when "Red Cliff" is released and more funds are available, and then implement it.
