116 The first step towards capital
Shen Yize finally decided to sell "Our Love" to Jiang Yining for 300,000 yuan.
Jiang Yining was quite surprised: "Haven't you signed all the shares recently?" β
Shen Yize smiled: "You promised to give me an assist, of course I have to repay the favor." β
"Okay, it turned out to be a deposit, and I was moved by the loss."
Shen Yize laughed, once the other party accepted this favor, there was no room for remorse.
"The arrangement of this song has to be done again, Mr. Li is free someday, please ask him to give me some advice!"
He knew that Li Jingmin was the queen arranger of Empress Jiang Ge, as long as Jiang Yining spoke, no matter how busy Mr. Li was, he would definitely find time to come.
"You don't work on Thursdays, do you? That's Thursday. If you don't call Xiaoqi too, let's meet, and sign the materials that should be signed by the way. β
"Okay."
On Wednesday, he told Gu Shu about the specific situation, and Gu Shu readily agreed, and did not raise any doubts about the equity distribution, which may be really accepted, or it may be that he really doesn't care.
Shen Yize admires her spirit of ignoring other things and creating wholeheartedly.
What he didn't know was that Gu Shu had been equally busy recently.
Even with Lin Su's endorsement, it is not easy to terminate the contract by agreement, especially at her level, the handover and cutting to be carried out cannot be completed in three days or two days, and the negotiation on some key issues is even more exhausting for her.
But she didn't say anything to Shen Yize, she was still dressed beautifully on Thursday morning, and after sitting in the passenger seat, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy, and she couldn't see a trace of fatigue.
Seeing this, Shen Yize smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood, is it because I'm going to be the boss?" β
"Guess?"
Gu Shu avoided answering.
"Have you eaten?"
"Nope."
"I knew you didn't eat it, so I brought you a box of puffs."
Shen Yize took out the puffs and handed them to her.
Gu Shu quipped: "Don't buy macarons?" β
"No, I will never make the same mistake a second time!"
The puffs are still hot, and when you bite into them, the icy cream and the crispy and warm dough create a dreamlike taste, and the thick sweet fragrance is sweet from the tip of the tongue to the bottom of the heart.
For some reason, today's puffs seemed to be exceptionally sweet, and she chewed slowly, reluctant to finish them too quickly.
Driving to Yining's studio, Zhu Wei took the two into the conference room.
In addition to Jiang Yining, there was a strange middle-aged man in the conference room, about forty years old, with a medium build, a square face, wearing a silver-gray suit, with a straight trouser line, looking mature and professional.
"Hello Mr. Shen, I'm Cheng Xun, Yining's agent."
Cheng Xun stretched out his hand in a friendly manner.
Shen Yize shook hands with him: "Hello, just call me Xiao Shen or Yize." β
Then he introduced Gu Shu and Jiang Yining.
After the greetings, Cheng Xun took out the materials left by Shen Yize the day before yesterday, and said while flipping through them: "Let me confirm with you again, we need to provide venues, equipment, and be responsible for the production and promotion of songs, and the brokerage business is not included, right?" β
"Yes, you're in charge of the record, and I'm in charge of the brokerage."
Brokerage activities are far more profitable than records, and Shen Yize certainly has to hold it in his own hands.
Singers and actors are different in that the former has a work first and then an agent, while the latter is the complete opposite.
To put it bluntly, as long as the singer is popular, the invitations to various commercial performances, activities, and programs will not be broken, and actors, especially newcomer actors, are difficult to receive plays without resources.
If it's an actor's brokerage activity, he can't do it, but a singer, the last thing he lacks is good works, and there is no problem in holding a few high-quality newcomers out.
Of course, Cheng Xun also knew that brokerage activities were the main source of money, but he didn't say anything, just nodded.
After all, people are serious about starting a company, and they can't contract all the business to you, and make all the money for you. Thinking of Zhuang Yi's recent new songs, the sales of "Nocturne" are exaggerated enough, and "Jiangnan" is even more exaggerated, just off the new song list at 0:00 today, it has already broken 250W sales, even if you are only responsible for records, you can make a lot of money.
"Nothing else is a big deal, just a little. For the sake of publicity, Jiang Yining has no problem carrying out activities as the owner of the company, but we hope to maintain the independence of Yining Studio. β
is a very reasonable request, and Shen Yize immediately agreed.
Then it's very easy and fun, fill out the form, and then each person thinks of a company name.
The first priority used for the verification of the name is Shen Yize's "Golden Pin Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd.", which he has already thought of, first starting with selling creativity and copyright, and then slowly expanding his business to film and television production, variety show production, animation production and other fields.
Cheng Xun said while sorting out the materials: "There is still a registered address missing. Are you looking for a formal commercial property, or do you want to register with a virtual location first? β
"I'm going to rent half a floor of office space."
The virtual location is cheap, but it will face problems such as annual inspections and spot checks, and it is necessary to provide a place for the screenwriter's office anyway, so why save this money.
"In the case of office buildings, I know a few CEOs who are renting, do you want to meet them? Maybe I can give you a cheaper price. β
"That's great!"
Shen Yize agreed. The company's start-up capital is 30 million, which can save a little is a little.
Cheng Xun smiled: "Okay, then I'll make an appointment later." There are also procurement, decoration, personnel recruitment...... I have some way to do this, so if you need help, feel free to come to me. β
Shen Yize's eyes lit up, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Then can I find you now?" β
What the other party said was exactly what he was worried about, and he originally planned to ask Lai Tiange for help, but it was better to trouble Cheng Xun than to trouble Lai Tiange, after all, he was Jiang Yining's agent, and Shen Yize was also related in interests.
"No problem!" Cheng Xun didn't hesitate, "When the license comes down, let's prepare together." Wait a minute, I'll print the contract. β
After Cheng Xun left, Shen Yize looked at Jiang and Gu, who were chatting happily, slapped the table and said, "You two, you are also the founders, why don't you chat with this?" β
Jiang Yining smiled: "I am an artist, and it is inconvenient to come forward for many things, so I can't give you substantial help." I have given carte blanche to Boss Cheng, and he will fulfill the obligations of the founder for me. β
Shen Yize pursed his lips and looked at Gu Shu.
"Don't look at me, I don't understand this at all, and," Gu Shu blinked, his expression serious, "I believe you." β
Shen Yize was overjoyed. The other party can say these four words, obviously his impression of him has changed greatly, the so-called sincerity is the golden stone, and his efforts during this period of time have not been in vain.
"With Chief Gu's words, even if I go to the soup, I will definitely live up to my expectations!"
He strikes while the iron is hot, no matter whether he can do it or not, his attitude must be in place.
Gu Shu didn't answer, just looked at him with a smile.
"Anyway, Sister Ning, you have a wide range of agents, and you have all kinds of doors!"
Shen Yize doesn't know much about Cheng Xun, he only knows that he is one of the two gold medal agents of Seagull Entertainment, no, now he is a former gold medal agent - he has left with Jiang Yining.
Jiang Yining Zhengse said: "Boss Cheng is not only my agent for ten years, but also the main person in charge of the operation and management of the studio. In fact, I was able to build my studio thanks to his help. Among Seagull Entertainment's agents, he may not have the most resources in the circle, but the messy way is definitely the widest. β
Cheng Xun came back after printing the contract, the three of them signed it one by one, and it took some time to formulate the company's articles of association, and it was finally determined that Shen Yize would serve as the executive director and general manager, and Jiang Yining would serve as the company's supervisor.
After sorting out the materials and putting them away, Cheng Xun rolled up his sleeves and glanced at his watch, and said, "I just called Mr. Tang of Libao Building, he is free in the morning, why don't we go now?" β
"Okay!"
first sent Gu Shu to Huaying, and then drove to Libao Building, and under the recommendation of Cheng Xun, he met Tang Qishan, the owner of this office building.
Libao Building is located in the small business district of Xiangnan Road, although it is not as prosperous as Hexi CBD, it is also one of the top commercial streets in Jiangnan City.
Tang Qishan was a little arrogant at first, but after listening to Cheng Xun's introduction, he immediately changed his attitude and said in surprise: "You wrote "The Silent Truth"? You also wrote "Nocturne"? β
Shen Yize nodded with a smile.
Tang Qishan didn't say a word, and directly reduced the annual rent of 800,000 yuan to 600,000 yuan.
With the location of the Libao Building and the specifications of the interior decoration, this price is really cheap.
Shen Yize was afraid that he would regret it, so he immediately said, "Thank you, Mr. Tang!" β
"You're welcome, it's just 200,000, so you should make a friend."
The lease contract was signed quite happily by both parties
Coming out of Libao Building, Cheng Xun said: "I also know some people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, let me accompany you, maybe I can help." β
Shen Yize said with a smile: "Boss Cheng knows all over the world, and if you are willing to help, it is naturally the best." β
"It's not enough to know that you have friends all over the world, but you have dealt with people from three religions and nine streams, and it doesn't come in much use, so it's okay to give some convenience."
Facts have proved that there are people in the DPRK and China who are indeed very easy to handle. Cheng Xun only made a phone call, and less than 10 minutes after the two went to the industrial and commercial bureau to submit the name verification materials, they issued a pre-verification notice on the spot.
"In accordance with the Provisions on the Administration of Enterprise Name Registration...... Agree to pre-approve the following three investors to contribute capital with a registered capital of 1 million yuan to the name of the enterprise: Golden Point Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd. ......"
Looking at the notice in his hand, Shen Yize couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth.
As for the registered capital, although there is no need to verify the capital after changing to the subscription system, he still filled in 1 million within the scope of his ability, anyway, the registered capital is changed from small to easy, from large to small, and it is difficult to increase capital when the strength is enough.
Then submit the follow-up materials and wait for real-name verification and review.
This process takes about a week, and you can get your license after approval.
On the way back, Cheng Xun planned for him what he would do next:
"Remember to make an appointment with the bank to open an account these days, you can also plan the structure of the office by yourself, as for the purchase of office supplies, the design of the image wall of the front desk, the release of personnel recruitment information or something, these things can be handed over to me, I have the doorway. Contact me after you get the license, and I will take you to engrave the seal, and then you have to do it yourself. β
Shen Yize nodded again and again when he heard this, and said strangely: "How can Boss Cheng understand it so well?" β
Cheng Xun laughed: "Otherwise, how can you call me Boss Cheng?" β
He paused and explained: "When I was your age, I also created a business, more than once, of course, without such a rebellious start as you, the result is not very ideal. My current contacts and resources were all accumulated at that time. β
"After the failure of the business, I went to become an agent, at that time, Jiang Yining had just debuted, and she was still an unknown little girl, and the first artist I brought was her, and this area was ten years ......"
Cheng Xun opened the conversation box and chattered about the past.
When he returned to the Yining studio, Li Jingmin had already arrived, discussing the arrangement of "Our Love" with his assistant.
Shen Yize finished eating at the speed of light and immediately joined the discussion of the bigwigs.
The first thing Li Jingmin said was: "Don't you know much about string music?" β
Shen Yize said frankly: "Yes." β
He is proficient in guitar and piano, and he knows a thing or two about traditional instruments, but he really doesn't know anything about strings.
"Am I terrible at making it up?"
He asked without confidence.
"Anyway, compared to your previous arrangement, it's really badβ"
"Ahem!"
Jiang Yining coughed.
Li Jingmin was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he had unconsciously made a poisonous tongue again, and hurriedly softened his tone and said: "The main reason is that the arrangements of "Nocturne" and "Jiangnan" are so good, it seems that it is very bad. Actuallyβ"
He pondered the wording for a moment and said euphemistically: "It's better to say mess than rotten." I get the impression that you lack a holistic approach, and that the arrangement of each bar is self-contained, incoherent and incoherent. However, for someone who doesn't know strings, it's good to make it like this. β
"Really?"
Shen Yize was surprised and delighted, he was affirmed by his predecessors in music, this kind of joy and sense of accomplishment, no matter how much money he earned, he couldn't get it.
Li Jingmin nodded in affirmation: "Really." You have a good foundation and talent, but what is bad is only knowledge and experience, which can be made up through acquired efforts. Of course, a good teacher and guide is also needed. β
Shen Yize immediately said: "With Mr. Li as my guide, what else do I have to worry about?" β
Li Jingmin laughed, very happy. On the road, things will come, which is one of the reasons why he admires this young man.
followed Li Jingmin to learn to make arrangements, and stayed until the second half of the night, only to complete one-third.
After returning home, he told Zhang Chunlin and Xu Fengyang the good news of the successful registration, and asked the two to resign. Then I wrote a recruitment notice and sent it to Cheng Xun, the positions belong to functional departments, such as finance and HR, and there is no need to recruit a lot, and those with work experience are preferred, so that they can get started immediately.
These positions are not that important, as long as the people who come are not too bad and can be used.
It's the screenwriter who matters.
In addition to Gu Shu, Zhang Chunlin, Xu Fengyang and a group of Chinese film screenwriters who may jump ship, he also needs to absorb some fresh blood.
Fortunately, the spring recruitment has not yet ended, and when he gets his license, he will contact his alma mater, and with Xiaoqi's reputation, presumably the leaders of the department will give the green light to support.
Time is limited, and he can't run too many schools, but Jiang Ying has to go, because there is a person he has to recruit.
The boss behind the entertainment industry
