Chapter 188 Letter of Intent to Sign

The four of them ate and waited for Zhang Hao's reply.

Chen Zihao couldn't hold back his curiosity and said, "Do you think Mr. Yang agrees to our request?" If you don't agree, you can't sign a contract. ”

Li Jun worried: "We have been enrolled for so long, and we have a good understanding of contracts in the industry, and we have not heard of contracts with such conditions. ”

Cheng Tian said: "To be honest, our school's ranking in the country is not high, and those big companies that want to sign artists will first consider the top three film and television schools in the country." ”

Chen Zihao took a sip of water and said, "Cheng Tian is also reasonable, now wait for the result, Yang can always agree best, if you don't agree, think of other ways." ”

Zhou Yang didn't speak at first, just eating.

Lunch was almost over, Zhang Hao hadn't replied to the message yet, the four of them were a little anxious, Zhou Yang saw the anxiety of the other three, and said: "Don't worry, I think the agent must be discussing with Mr. Yang whether to agree to the conditions we proposed." ”

"If they agree to this condition, I will immediately sign a letter of intent with Mingquan Entertainment." Zhou Yang said firmly.

Zhou Yang knows that the newly established company will have many drawbacks, but it also has many benefits, if the company can sign a contract with them sincerely, Zhou Yang will agree to join Mingquan Entertainment Company, he does not want to rely on his parents' relationship when he enters the entertainment industry.

After eating, the four of them went to the bubble tea shop to drink tea for a while, but they still didn't wait for Zhang Hao's reply.

Li Jun was a little disappointed, blaming himself for not being firm in his position, in fact, the signing conditions offered by Mingquan Entertainment Company were already very good, and there were equity incentives, but he still proposed conditions to the company.

Li Jun secretly blamed himself and said, "Agent Zhang has no news so far, is he not going to sign a contract with us?" ”

Zhou Yang saw Li Jun's self-blame and said: "It's okay, wait a minute, we have decided to shoot "Love Apartment 1", and we will talk about the conditions of signing the contract next time we meet, don't worry." ”

Li Jun didn't listen to Zhou Yang's words, he felt that Zhou Yang had a background, even if he didn't sign a contract with Mingquan Entertainment Company, he would have a good development, but he was different.

Li Jun's study in Quancheng has consumed most of his parents' life savings, and if he still can't find a job after graduation, he will have to rely on his parents' help.

Chen Zihao looked at Li Jun and said, "Zhou Yang is right, don't worry, wait for Agent Zhang's reply, if they don't agree, we can continue to discuss when filming film and television dramas." ”

Li Jun nodded and said, "Okay, let's build a chat group for the four of us, Agent Zhang has replied to the message, please notify the group as soon as possible, and we can discuss the script in the group in the future, I'll go back first." ”

Li Jun felt that it was just a waste of time to continue to wait, and he had no hope, so he wanted to go back to school, go to the library to read the script, concentrate on filming the drama well, and maybe there was a chance to sign a contract.

Chen Zihao nodded and said, "Okay, Agent Zhang has replied to the message, and I will notify you in the group as soon as possible." ”

The four of them took out their mobile phones and added a group chat.

After Zhou Yang joined the group chat, he said: "Everyone remember to pay attention to the news in the group, if there is nothing to do, let's go back first, we are close to graduation, and we have a lot of things to be busy." ”

Cheng Tian nodded and said, "Okay, then Li Jun and I will go back first." ”

Cheng Tian and Li Jun are classmates and in the same dormitory, so they usually spend more time together.

Zhou Yang was going to go back to his home to get daily necessities, while Chen Zihao went to find his girlfriend Zhang Yumeng.

Cheng Tian walked on the road, patted Li Jun on the shoulder, and said, "Why are you depressed?" ”

Seeing this, Li Jun hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I'm just afraid that I can't sign a contract with Mingquan Entertainment Company, and I won't be able to find a good company in the future." ”

Cheng Tian comforted: "Don't be so anxious, your academic performance is so good, and your acting skills are also very high, you will definitely be able to sign a good company, perform well when filming film and television dramas, and strive to become famous overnight." ”

Li Jun said with a smile: "I don't dare to hope for how much good luck it takes to become famous overnight, I can be paid as scheduled, and I don't have to ask my family for money to spend." ”

Cheng Tian knew more about Li Jun's family situation, and did not continue, wanting to maintain Li Jun's self-esteem.

Cheng Tian smiled: "It doesn't matter, the salary will definitely be given, I see that the comments on Yang Jiang and Mr. Yang on the Internet are very good, saying that he is a good boss." ”

"But after all, he is young and inexperienced in society, and he doesn't know if he has enough money." Li Jun began to say worriedly.

Cheng Tian hurriedly explained: "No, there are five interviewers during the on-site interview, among which the main interviewer is Director Zhang Yi, have you heard that Director Zhang Yi has participated in an interview for a film and television drama that is not his own?" ”

Li Jun began to think back and said: "It seems that no, this is the first time that Director Zhang Yi has interviewed a candidate for his own film and television drama, and he also let his good partner Liu Jie and his team cooperate with Yang Jiang, it seems that the relationship between Director Zhang Yi and Yang Jiang is not ordinary." ”

Cheng Tian gossiped: "There are some posts on the Internet that Director Zhang Yi wants to train Yang Jiang to be his successor, so he will spare no effort to help him." ”

"No wonder, some time ago, Director Zhang Yi's son beat people and made a lot of noise, and it is estimated that his career in the entertainment industry is ruined, so he wants to support a successor of his own."

Cheng Tianzheng said: "Yang Jiang is young and promising, and he does not have such a deep background, so he is an excellent candidate for director Zhang Yi." ”

Li Jun nodded again and again and said: "In the future, even if the ratings of the film and television dramas filmed by Mr. Yang are not good, Director Zhang Yi will also help Yang Jiang, and at the same time can help the contracted artists in the company, so going to Mingquan Entertainment Company is really a good choice." ”

Cheng Tian nodded and said: "I thought too simple at the time, I felt that the future development of the newly established company was uncertain, and I forgot that there was also the help of Director Zhang Yi, if I was given another chance, whether I agreed to that condition or not, I would choose to sign a contract." ”

Li Jun continued: "I'm just like you. ”

The two talked while walking, and after a while, they arrived at the library, Li Jun planned to go to the library to read the script, and separated from Cheng Tian.

After Cheng Tian walked around the campus, he went back to the dormitory directly, he was under a lot of pressure during this time, his job was unsettled, he had not yet graduated, and he watched the classmates around him sign contracts with entertainment companies, and some students even held several admission letters in their hands, struggling with which one was best.

In Cheng Tian's anxious situation, he saw the leaflet of Mingquan Entertainment Company to select actors for film and television dramas.

Cheng Tian signed up for the primary selection of "Love Apartment 1" with an attitude of giving it a try, and recorded a video after receiving part of the script.

Like Cheng Tian's situation, Li Jun, who still has no job, signed up for the primary selection of "Love Apartment 1" with him, and the two passed five levels and six generals, and were finally selected in the highly competitive on-site interview.

Mingquan Entertainment Company even threw an olive branch to them, and Zhang Hao personally talked to the selected actors about their intention to sign a contract.

After receiving the intention to sign the contract, Cheng Tian and Li Jun were very happy, they felt that their jobs had been settled, they didn't have to be unemployed youths, and they had an explanation with their parents.

However, when the four of them discussed the signing of the contract, Cheng Tian felt that what Zhou Yang said was very reasonable, so he and Zhou Yang proposed conditions to Mingquan Entertainment Company.

Cheng Tian is very remorseful now, he should have agreed to sign the contract as soon as possible, and now he is in a dilemma, he can't leave his friends to talk to Zhang Hao alone about signing intentions.

Time passed minute by minute, and for these four young people who were about to graduate and enter the society, every second was a torment.

Staying up until the evening, the company had reached the closing time, and the four of them still did not receive a reply from Zhang Hao.

They began to regret that they had negotiated terms with the company on their impulse, and the patience of waiting gradually faded, and for this came the anxiety of signing a contract with an entertainment company.

The four of them didn't have the heart to eat, they were all preparing their resumes and interview materials, and Li Jun was ready to go back to his hometown to enter the TV station after filming "Love Apartment 1".

Although the conditions of the TV station in my hometown are simple, it is a compilation work that everyone yearns for, stable and iron-clad rice bowl.

Li Jun didn't plan to go back to his hometown to develop at first, but seeing that it was so difficult to find a satisfactory job, coupled with the urging of his parents, he came up with the idea of returning to his hometown to work.

Before I knew it, it was past eleven o'clock, and the four of them didn't feel sleepy, they were all lying on the bed planning their future, and at the same time, they felt sorry for missing Mingquan Entertainment Company.

Chen Zihao had already washed up and was ready to sleep, but he was not in the mood to fall asleep, and he was tossing and turning all the time.

At this time, Zhang Hao called, Chen Zihao looked at the caller ID, immediately stood up, Chen Zihao answered the phone, and said softly: "Hello, Director Zhang, do you have anything to tell me so late?" ”

Zhang Hao said slowly: "I just discussed with Mr. Yang, the condition you proposed is indeed no precedent in other companies, and we have discussed it for a long time, Mr. Yang admires your talent, so let me tell you that the company agrees to the conditions you propose." ”

Chen Zihao couldn't believe his ears, today's mood was like a roller coaster, from anticipation to worry to despair, and finally the Jedi survived.

Chen Zihao asked in a trembling voice, "Did Mr. Yang really agree to our conditions?" ”

Zhang Hao replied: "Yes, Mr. Yang admires your talent very much, and I don't want to miss out on four powerful actors with potential because of one condition." ”

Chen Zihao's face was flushed, and he said embarrassedly: "You have won the award, let me tell them, when will it be convenient for you to sign the letter of intent?" ”

"You can do it at any time, you can just come to the company to find me, call me in advance." Zhang Hao said.

Chen Zihao said excitedly: "Okay, I'll talk to the three of them, and I'm going to go to the company when I'm free." ”

Zhang Hao smiled: "Okay, don't worry, you think about it again, I will send you the revised letter of intent now, take a look first, and then contact me to modify if there is something inappropriate." ”

Chen Zihao nodded again and again and said, "Okay, I will." ”

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zihao posted the good news to the group chat, and everyone was so excited that they burst into tears.

Li Jun said: "I didn't expect Mr. Yang to appreciate us so much, and as the president of other entertainment companies, I guess he has blacklisted us in his heart." ”

Zhou Yang said: "This Yang always has courage, I like it, those who achieve great things are not informal." ”

Chen Zihao continued: "Yes, we will work hard to film in the future to prove Mr. Yang's vision." ”

Cheng Tian said, "When will we go to the company to sign a letter of intent?" ”

After Zhou Yang saw the message sent, he said: "Let's take a look at the letter of intent first, and then ask if you have any questions, if there is no problem, hurry up and sign it, I'm going to go tomorrow, what about everyone's time?" ”

After speaking, the four of them hurriedly clicked on the letter of intent and began to read it carefully.

The signing fee has been increased from 600,000 to 650,000, and if the company is not able to receive notices for signed artists in the future, artists can receive notices by themselves, and all the proceeds belong to the artists.

The four of them all felt that there was nothing wrong with the letter of intent, and unanimously decided to set off from the school at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning to sign a letter of intent for cooperation with Mingquan Entertainment Company.

……

Mingquan Entertainment Company, conference room.

Before nine o'clock, Zhou Yang drove his car to Qingshan Mansion with Chen Zihao, Li Jun and Cheng Tian, and after parking the car, he went straight to Mingquan Entertainment Company.

Because he told Zhang Hao in advance that he was going to sign the contract today, Zhang Hao waited in the conference room very early.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yawen, the four of them came to the conference room.

"You guys came early, didn't you?" Zhang Hao said in a nasal voice that didn't wake up.

Chen Zihao replied: "We didn't sleep much all night in excitement, and we hurried over after dinner in the morning. ”

Zhang Hao took out the paper version of the letter of intent to sign the contract and said that there were two copies per person. Let's see if there is a problem, and if there is no problem, we can sign a contract.

The four of them carefully read the letter of intent to sign the contract twice, and there were no problems.

Zhou Yang asked: "Why did the signing fee increase by 50,000?" We didn't mention the idea. ”

The conditions proposed by Zhou Yang have caused the other three to worry for a long time, and they are already very unhappy, but fortunately, the company does not have the same knowledge as him, otherwise the four of them would have been fired, not to mention the extravagant expectation that the signing fee will rise.

Zhang Hao replied: "The company thinks that you have just graduated and there will be a lot of places to use the money, so it has paid a settling-in allowance of 50,000 yuan, and it will gradually increase depending on your contribution to the company in the future." ”

Li Jun was secretly happy in his heart, 50,000 yuan was not a small amount for him, his parents worked hard for a year, I only earned 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and his guilt for the company intensified again.

Cheng Tian asked: "The contract says that if you sign a contract with the company before December 31 this year, there will be equity incentives, can you cash it out?" ”

Zhang Hao replied: "Yes, as long as the company is listed, you can cash out the equity." ”

Zhang Hao then added: "Of course, if you don't want to cash out, you can continue to hold, the higher the value of the company, the more valuable the employee equity in your hands." ”

Zhou Yang asked, "How long does the company plan to go public?" ”

"Within five years." Zhang Hao said firmly, as if the company's listing was close at hand.

The four nodded with satisfaction and signed a letter of intent to sign.
