"You also know that Sky.com is fighting a lawsuit with the Record Industry Association, the Music Copyright Association and the three major portals, not only a conflict of interests, but also to protect the interests of singers, which is why I want to start the layout in advance now, Sky.com is now only two years of authorization, after it expires?"

Wang Jinghua asked another question: "Then how do you plan to position this brokerage company?" Your subsidiary of Skynet, around which you serve? ”

Chen Bo waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, Sister Hua." This company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of mine, and although the focus is on the Internet, it is impossible to detach from traditional entertainment. I specialize in the art industry, I am good at the Internet, and no one knows entertainment brokerage better than you. ”

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear. What Chen Bo said was both a fact and a compliment. Wang Jinghua is naturally very useful.

Chen Bo asked again: "Sister Hua, what do you think is the duty of an agent?" ”

Wang Jinghua blurted out without hesitation: "The agent plays the role of the person in the middle, helping the artist to run the crew and talk about advertising." Plan for their future development and take care of all aspects of their lives. ”

"Sister Hua is right, but it is not comprehensive and not systematic enough." Chen Bo first agreed with her idea, and then shook his head and said that it was not enough, which immediately aroused Wang Jinghua's curiosity.

"So you say, what should the agent do?" Although there was no dissatisfaction in Wang Jinghua's tone, there was still a trace of disagreement, if you want to talk about professionalism, the entire domestic agent is the standard for her to be an agent. It's impossible to say that you don't have any ideas in your heart.

"Agents should be professional and process-oriented, from artists' film appointments, endorsements, and advertisements, to image design, planning and publicity, and crisis publicity. The entertainment market is gradually developing, and at the same time, artists will also be marketized, so they need to be dealt with in all aspects. You can't go it alone like you did before, calling companies one by one, visiting the crew. That is too inefficient, and the agency will set up a team to be responsible for the artist, from large to small, responsible for the artist in every detail. ”

"I didn't expect you not to do this business, but I can understand it so thoroughly, I never thought that agents would do so much." Although Wang Jinghua has been engaged in brokering for a long time and started to do it in the early 90s, it has always belonged to the model of self-employed, relying on the contacts and accumulated resources that she has worked hard step by step to get to the present, but she has never considered such meticulous and thoughtful.

Chen Bodao "This is the same as making commodities, artists are commodities in our hands, and we also need reasonable marketing packaging." On the same shelf, one product is beautifully packaged, and the other is simply plastic-packed. Normal people know how to choose! ”

Wang Jinghua suddenly felt that Chen Bo's words were like an enlightenment, and the problem she had been bothering for a long time suddenly became clear, but she didn't expect the agent to do this.

Chen Bo said again, "I know that Sister Hua's birthday is the 18th, which is also your lucky number." Therefore, this brokerage company is called Galaxy Picking Culture, and I invested $1 million to set up a subsidiary of Hong Kong Island Galaxy Entertainment in Yanjing, with 7% of my shares and 3% of your shares. You are responsible for the operation of the company, with an annual salary of 500,000 yuan and a year-end performance bonus. ”

Chen Bo's plan really scared Wang Jinghua, 500,000 yuan can buy a 100-square-meter house near the second ring road in Yanjing, and 3 percent of dry shares are directly worth 300,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 2 million yuan, which is like giving money for nothing. Compared with the cooperation conditions of Huayi Brothers' annual salary of more than 100,000 yuan, it is completely different. And most importantly, this young man also asked his lucky number very carefully, and this sincerity is very touching.

"Mr. Chen, why do you give me such a high salary?" Wang Jinghua's words have replaced "you" with "Mr. Chen", and her tone is full of respect.

"First, your industry experience. No one can do it better than you. Second, your resources, which are all a valuable asset. In my opinion, these are less, and they will increase year by year in the future. I don't know what other companies offer you, but I know that no company will be more sincere than me. ”

Being able to own your own company, and give it away almost for nothing, without having to pay a penny, is a condition that is really hard to refuse. Huayi Brothers' conditions for Wang Jinghua are much shabby, but they promise to give priority to their own company's artists in the films they invest. Wang Jinghua also mainly took a fancy to this resource at the beginning, but now it is not a taste for such a comparison.

Rao is a decisive woman like Wang Jinghua, and she is also a little hesitant, "Mr. Chen, your conditions are indeed very tempting, but I still want to think about it calmly." I can't digest that much information right now. ”

"It's okay, Sister Hua. If it were me, I would definitely do the same" Chen Bo was not dissatisfied, this situation was very normal. "But Sister Hua, if you have time in the afternoon, you have to do me a favor."

"What's the rush? As long as you don't be too embarrassed," Wang Jinghua didn't know why, and he didn't know what he was going to do.

"I have a friend here, who is a resident singer in a bar, and you can sign him for me first. Whether our cooperation is successful or not, it will not be affected. I'll take another 20,000 yuan for you later, and you can give him the signing fee at that time. ”

"What is the signing fee?" Wang Jinghua said curiously.

"It's the cost of signing the contract, which is an extra reward for the star. For ordinary people, it's a settling-in fee, and he's still living in a cold and damp basement, and it's going to be winter soon, so I want to help him as much as I can. ”

"I see, but why don't you give it to him yourself?"

"I met him for the first time yesterday and he was really talented. I'm sure I've talked to him about signing him. I just want to get this done as soon as possible, and I don't want to disappoint others. ”

Wang Jinghua didn't expect Chen Bo to have such a side, some agents use artists as cash cows, and after signing them, they will be squeezed ruthlessly, no matter what happens to you in the future. Now make you popular first, and then use the harsh contract to keep taking commercial performances to make money, and don't think about anything else at all. As for the signing fee, there is no such thing as a signing fee. Wang Jinghua felt that Chen Bo was sincerely thinking about the artist, not just using the artist as a tool to make money, and couldn't help but feel a little more good.

briefly chatted about the details of Yang Kun's contract, and then took the money and handed it to Wang Jinghua for her to bring over. This time I signed a brokerage contract that was not very formal, and it was relatively simple, and when the new company was established, the contract would definitely be changed. If Wang Jinghua is unwilling to cooperate, then give her a hard fee and then buy it out.

The audit work on the side of Alpha Records has been completed, and there are only about a dozen staff members in the entire record company, the singers Jay Chou and Wen Lan, Fang Wenshan is the lyricist, and the music copyright is on the two albums of Wu Zhongxian and Wen Lan, but there is no debt. However, there is not much money left on the books, which can support two months' expenses.

This time it was Chen Bo's turn to be melancholy, and now the funds are stretched, and the trademark income from selling to Samsung is 2.6 million US dollars. 1 million US dollars received 70% of the shares of Alpha Records, 1 million US dollars were invested in Yanjing to be a brokerage company, and 500,000 US dollars were lent to Tengxun. The remainder of the $100,000 was used by Chen Bo for his own use, and it had already been transferred to the account in the mainland through the Bank of China on Hong Kong Island.

There are holes everywhere, but these things must be done, and they must be done. Skynet is not his own sole proprietorship, although there is money in the account, but it is a public account, and it is impossible to use it indiscriminately. The only thing that has money is Dingdong.com, and the account is only a few hundred thousand.

Chen Bo finally had a feeling that he was taking a big step and would pull the egg. Anyway, there are still two months, and then let's figure out a way, now the only valuable thing in his hand is the shares of Sky.com, but now that the A round has been melted, IDG Capital will be the first to jump out against it if he wants to cash out.

PwC has now returned to China after handling the business in Taiwan, and according to Chen Bo's request, he will immediately fly to Yanjing to deal with the case of the subsidiary of Galaxy Entertainment, which is quite a toss-up, but people are happy, can the money-making business be handed over to others?

After dealing with these extraneous matters, Chen Bo's focus returned to the lawsuit of Sky Network. The war of words in the past few days has been you coming and going, so it's not lively, and the Internet has become a mess. Zhang Yiming went through a lot of technical blockades and found the source of the forum post, which was actually from within the company of Xilang.com, which is a bit interesting. Although it was very covert to log in to the network E forum through several layers of proxy servers, he was finally caught by Zhang Yiming, a technical master, and quietly obtained all the evidence.

Zhang Chaoyang of Suhu.com is no longer silent, and has expressed his attitude through the media, that is, he insists that all music is uploaded by users themselves, anyway, the current law does not stipulate that the copyright of the Internet is protected, and all the courts will see you and you will not admit your mistakes.

Wang Gongquan recommended himself to find Zhang Chaoyang two days ago, and it seems that there is no progress, but the net E side is calm and wait-and-see. Refused all media interviews, and discussed whatever you wanted in the forum, no matter what. The main station news does not mention a few words.

Chen Bo's small team of several people sat together, ready to study what to do next, and now it has been several days. The court also has to wait for several months to collect evidence before it can be formally opened, and the government department is not accepting it now. They can't always spend time here with the media, and it won't help.

"Meet the Wall Street Journal reporter in the afternoon, he doesn't always ask for an interview." Chen Bo pondered for a moment and said to Mo Feidao.

"Okay, he's been looking for me for a few days......"

At this time, the phone rang abruptly, interrupting the conversation between the two, it was Zhang Yiming who called from Pengcheng.

"Oh no, something is wrong!" Zhang Yiming's anxious voice sounded on the phone, and Mo Fei and Guan Xin, who were sitting on the side, could hear it clearly, and couldn't help but get nervous.

"What's wrong, you speak slowly, don't worry." Chen Bo simply turned on the phone on speakerphone, and the servants waited for Zhang Yiming to speak.
