Chapter 165 Brokerage Firms
After opening the door, Tang Xiaosheng found that there were three visiting guests, all of whom were men. Among them, one is the well-known director Zhang Zhizong, the other is the lawyer Zhao Weiliang, and the other is a little blind, Tang Xiaosheng didn't recognize who he was. It's just that he found that this person's appearance is somewhat similar to Zhao Weiliang, but he is more than twenty years older, dressed in a black suit, carrying a black briefcase in his hand, and looks quite identious.
When a guest came to visit, Tang Xiaosheng naturally treated each other politely, and immediately invited the three of them into the living room.
After taking a seat, Zhang Zhizong smiled and sighed to Tang Xiaosheng: "It's really 'don't take three days, you should be impressed'!" I can't imagine that in just over a month, your life has changed so much. ”
More than a month ago, Tang Xiaosheng not only terminated the contract with the brokerage company due to the illegitimate daughter, facing the problem of liquidated damages, but also suffered a great loss of reputation, a decline in popularity, and a mess in his life and career.
And now, Tang Xiaosheng has not only successfully founded the Martial Arts Association and become the vice president of the association, but also founded the Kung Fu School, which has also become the most popular training school in Jinghua City.
What's more, Tang Xiaosheng touched many citizens of Jinghua City because of the death of Kentaro Ishii's wife and daughter to save him, and his popularity has picked up again, even more popular than before the illegitimate daughter incident. Although Tang Xiaosheng did not actually die, his behavior still deceived the tears and sympathy of many citizens, and his popularity and recognition rose in a straight line.
Coupled with the reputation of "King of Kung Fu", Tang Xiaosheng's popularity can be said to be in full swing, and he has completely gotten rid of the negative impact of the illegitimate daughter incident and ushered in the second spring of his career.
In addition, lawyer Zhao Weiliang also brought good news to Tang Xiaosheng today.
Just today, Tang Xiaosheng's previous brokerage company, Blue Sky Entertainment, issued a statement that it was willing to withdraw the lawsuit against Tang Xiaosheng for liquidated damages and wanted to have a private relationship with him.
The reason why Blue Sky Entertainment Company made the decision not to sue Tang Xiaosheng was also a helpless move. Because now the entire Jinghua City has a very low evaluation of Tang Xiaosheng, and there is a lot of applause, if Blue Sky Entertainment goes against the will of the people and continues to fight a lawsuit with Tang Xiaosheng, it will obviously be unpopular.
For Blue Sky Entertainment Company, Tang Xiaosheng's liquidated damages are a trivial matter, and the company's image is a major matter, and they don't want to lose a big deal because of a small thing, so they decided to have a private relationship with Tang Xiaosheng and no longer fight a lawsuit. Blue Sky Entertainment got in touch with Tang Xiaosheng's lawyer, Zhao Weiliang, in the morning and expressed their thoughts.
In terms of liquidated damages, Blue Sky Entertainment decided to make concessions and reduce the previous claim from Tang Xiaosheng from 10 million to 2 million. If Tang Xiaosheng is willing to accept this price, Blue Sky Entertainment will no longer pursue the breach of contract.
Regarding Blue Sky Entertainment's proposal, Tang Xiaosheng did not have much objection. At the beginning, he was indeed in breach of contract first, and it was a matter of course to pay some liquidated damages. And he also discussed with lawyer Zhao Weiliang that the liquidated damages of 2 million yuan are basically reasonable.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Xiaosheng decided to agree to Blue Sky Entertainment's request to compensate 2 million, and directly entrusted the matter to Zhao Weiliang, a lawyer who came today, to help deal with it.
After solving the matter of liquidated damages, Tang Xiaosheng also felt very relaxed, after all, he solved a troublesome matter.
However, he also saw that Zhao Weiliang, Zhang Zhizong and other three people came to visit together today, I am afraid that they will not only talk about liquidated damages, so he asked: "Director Zhang, do you have anything else to do with me?" ”
Zhang Zhizong did not beat around the bush, and replied truthfully: "I really have important things to discuss with you today. After a pause, he introduced the man in a black suit sitting next to him and said, "Xiao Tang, this is the boss of Mengjie Entertainment Media, Zhao Guoguang." ”…,
After listening to the introduction, Tang Xiaosheng was slightly stunned.
He is no stranger to Mengjie Entertainment Media, which is one of the three major entertainment companies in China. Among the many brokerage companies in China, in addition to Huayi Brothers and Blue Sky Entertainment, Mengjie Entertainment Media is the most powerful brokerage company.
And today, Zhao Guoguang, the boss of Mengjie Entertainment Media, actually came to the door in person, Tang Xiaosheng was naturally quite surprised. What surprised him even more was that lawyer Zhao Weiliang was Zhao Guoguang's biological son.
Today, Zhao Guoguang, Zhao Weiliang, father and son went into battle together, and came to find Tang Xiaosheng together, the purpose is very simple, they want to negotiate with Tang Xiaosheng about signing a brokerage company.
Unlike Huayi Brothers and Blue Sky Entertainment, most of the artists signed by Mengjie Entertainment Media are second-tier stars, and there are almost no first-line stars who are big and red. Mengjie Entertainment also wants to create a superstar, but superstars are often hard to find, not to create something that can be created.
Recently, Tang Xiaosheng is undoubtedly the hottest one among many artists in the film and television industry, and Zhao Guoguang, the boss of Mengjie Entertainment Media, came up with the idea of signing Tang Xiaosheng.
Since the termination of the contract with Blue Sky Entertainment Agency, Tang Xiaosheng has never received an invitation to sign a contract from other brokerage companies. It's not that other brokerage companies don't want to sign Tang Xiaosheng, but they don't dare to sign it.
Because in the past year, many brokerage companies have not had a good impression of Tang Xiaosheng, and they all feel that he is not easy to get along with.
On the one hand, they feel that Tang Xiaosheng will always have some unexpected behaviors, such as an illegitimate daughter, and they feel that he is a bit undisciplined and does not play cards according to common sense. If such an artist is signed, there are too many unknown risks, and risk is precisely one of the factors that the agency is most afraid of. Because the cost of packaging stars is often expensive, if something happens, it will often be wasted.
On the other hand, the brokerage company felt that Tang Xiaosheng was too strong and was not willing to cooperate with the brokerage company. In the nearly one year that he signed with Blue Sky Entertainment, he did not attend media conferences, did not accept media interviews, did not take on new films, did not endorse advertisements, and did not participate in commercial activities, he has always done his own thing. For such an artist, no agency will like it, because they will make less than half a penny.
It is precisely because of this that after the illegitimate daughter's incident, no brokerage company has contacted Tang Xiaosheng again.
The reason why Zhao Guoguang, the boss of Mengjie Entertainment Media, dared to sign Tang Xiaosheng today was also decided after a detailed understanding.
It turned out that Zhao Guoguang and Zhang Zhizong had a certain friendship, so he asked Zhang Zhizong to learn more about Tang Xiaosheng's information. After a detailed discussion with Zhang Zhizong, Zhao Guoguang realized that Tang Xiaosheng is actually a very easy person to get along with, but he is more principled and likes to do things in his own way. As long as you communicate well with him, you will be very happy to cooperate.
Coupled with the recent positive news about Tang Xiaosheng's "King of Kung Fu", Zhao Guoguang believes that Tang Xiaosheng does have the potential to become a superstar, and after thinking twice, he signed Tang Xiaosheng.
Since Zhao Guoguang's son Zhao Weiliang and Tang Xiaosheng also have a certain friendship, in order to make the signing of the contract smoother, their father and son came to visit together today.
"Mr. Tang, if you are willing to sign a contract with Mengjie Entertainment Media, we will give you enough autonomy, whether it is in the choice of scripts or advertising endorsements, we will fully consider your opinions. As for the income, we will share it with you, the brokerage company will account for 30%, and you will share 70%. At the same time, the company will build you into a successful husband superstar according to your conditions......" Zhao Guoguang introduced some details of the signing in detail.
For the signing of the brokerage company, Tang Xiaosheng did not resist. With his current popularity and resources, even if he doesn't have a brokerage company, it is not difficult to make money in the film and television industry, but he just earns more and earns less. And if he signs up with a brokerage company, the company will help with many things, he will save a lot of trouble, free up more time to do other things, and at the same time be able to make more money. …,
The relationship between the agency and the artist is actually a cooperative relationship, assisting each other to achieve a win-win situation. If you work well together, it's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
It's just that Tang Xiaosheng has the experience of signing a failed contract with Blue Sky Entertainment, so he needs to think more about signing a brokerage company.
Seeing that Tang Xiaosheng seemed a little hesitant, Zhao Guoguang immediately took out four white notebooks from the black briefcase he carried.
Zhao Guoguang learned from Zhang Zhizong that the reason why Tang Xiaosheng signed a contract with Blue Sky Entertainment last year was because Blue Sky Entertainment gave Tang Xiaosheng four very good scripts for him to choose from.
In order to express his sincerity, Zhao Guoguang also prepared four scripts for Tang Xiaosheng to choose.
"Mr. Tang, here are four scripts, you can learn about them first and see if you are satisfied. The first script is "The Legend of Fang Shiyu", the second is "Bixue Sword", and the third is "Tai Chi Grandmaster". After a pause, Zhao Guoguang continued, "Although the first three scripts are good, I think the fourth script should be the most suitable for you." ”
After speaking, he put the fourth script on the table in front of Tang Xiaosheng.
Tang Xiaosheng swept the desktop and found that on the white cover of the script, there were five big characters written - Heaven and Dragon Slayer.
