Chapter 268: Splitting the Brokerage Contract, Pooling of Interests
On the way back to the crew after filming the cover.
"Recently, we have been in talks with the company about the division of your specific brokerage contract." Yan Jun now really regards himself as Lin Qingyuan's exclusive agent, rather than Cehua's employee.
"Why are you still negotiating?" Lin Qingyuan didn't understand very well, "Didn't you already talk about it last time?" The record contract is to Universal, and the other brokerage contracts are still in Cehua. ”
"The problem is that Endeavor has recently signaled to us that they are looking for a partnership, and they want to get our exclusive endorsement agency or get your model contract for their parent company, IMG."
"Weimei? I'm not very familiar with it. Lin Qingyuan said very decisively that he did not know the company.
"Then IMG, you always know!"
"IMG, I know, the world's largest sports agency, Gisele Bundchen seems to be the contracted model of this company, Weimei and this company are still connected..."Lin Qingyuan was vaguely impressed.
"In 2014, WME, one of the world's three largest brokerage companies on a par with CAA, acquired IMG and established; IMG, later renamed Weimei. ”
Two years later, VHM partnered with Sequoia Capital, Penguin, Focus Media and FountainVest to establish a branch in China, and then VWT's brokerage business began to expand in China.
"There are many famous foreign countries such as Federer James Durant, and the most famous one in China is Li Na, as a retired tennis player, she not only frequently appeared in variety shows after retirement, but even had a personal movie plan, which made her income after retirement much higher than before retirement, this is the energy of Weimei."
In fact, the athletes of later generations Gu Ailing and Su Yiming, including Zhang Weili of the UFC, were also signed under the banner of Weimei, which is the driving force behind Gu Ailing's ability to earn 250 million endorsement income a year in China.
As a "top luxury intermediary", Weimei has maintained a very good cooperative relationship with many top luxury and high luxury, and it can even be said that as long as Weimei wants, he can help any of its signed artists get luxury endorsements.
LV handbag global advertising model, the world's three major jewelry Tiffany global spokesperson, IWC brand ambassador, Estee Delan Asia Pacific brand friend, Gu Ailing's fashion resources are enough to kill most of the top domestic entertainment...
And the most awesome thing is that many well-known sports events have the participation of IMG, and even the Chinese Super League and the predecessor league of the CBA in China are involved.
"But isn't this an athlete?"
"Weimei's main business is the combination of the sports circle and the entertainment circle, and it is precisely because of the good development in the sports circle that it began to seek development and achievements in the entertainment industry..."
Liu Yifei can win high-quality international resources, and Weimei's help behind the scenes is actually the most important thing.
That's right, Tianxian is also in this brokerage company, and not only Tianxian, Shu Qi is also signed in this company.
So in other words, if Lin Qingyuan agrees to cooperate, then he will become a colleague with Liu Yifei...
"So they chose me?"
"Yes, but I don't think we need to sign them the exclusive right to endorse them, our business territory is already very large, and they will not help us much now, and they will take most of the benefits." Yan Jun expressed his opinion.
In fact, Lin Qingyuan does not lack business endorsement resources now, what he lacks now is only channels.
A channel that does not rely on film and television works, but relies on other aspects to push him out of Asia and enter the European and American markets.
If the previous cooperation with Universal Music was an attempt, then this door-to-door cooperation of the Weimei Huaguo branch may be another attempt.
"I don't think it's necessary to sign them either, but IMG's modeling appointment may be a good idea, even though I'm not a professional model or a professional singer."
Lin Qingyuan still wants to take the business contract into his own hands, so that he can also have more autonomy and a higher share ratio in terms of business cooperation.
And since he decided to put down his face and sign with Universal Music, Lin Qingyuan feels that he has let go of his whole person a lot, at least not as hypocritical as before.
Contracts that can make profits within a reasonable and compliant range should be signed, and there is no more nonsense.
"But I have to make a statement to you first, if we only sign IMGModels with a model contract, the promotion resources we can get in the future will definitely be less than the amount we can get by signing the exclusive endorsement agent to Weimei, after all, we didn't pay them protection money." Yan Jun reminded.
"It's okay, it's okay to let a part of the profit go out and get the promotion channel through the model appointment, I now have Louis Vuitton plus Bulgari's global spokesperson in hand, and I really don't need their endorsement PR much."
Lin Qingyuan knows very well what kind of position he is in at this stage, very high, otherwise Weimei would not take the initiative to seek cooperation.
"But will Cehua have an opinion? First there is the world and then there is the beauty, and their share is constantly decreasing. ”
"Although Cehua is completely inadequate in front of Universal and Weimei, they must still take the lion's share, because after the split with Universal, your film and television contracts and endorsement contracts are still in Cehua, so even if Weimei wants to take away part of your endorsement income, it is up to them to talk about it themselves, and it's none of our business."
"That's okay, please keep an eye on it, don't make the relationship between us and the company too stiff, it's really not good, let's let some profits out." Lin Qingyuan didn't want to cross the river and tear down the bridge to kick out the company that cultivated himself.
He's not so mercenary...
"OK, then I will continue to follow up on the details of the three companies of Cehua Global and Weimei in the details of your brokerage contract, if nothing else, your future film and television dating will be in Cehua, the record contract will be signed in Universal, and the model or fashion date will be in Weimei."
"And then in terms of sharing, because there are three companies that jointly split your brokerage contract, our proportion may be relatively small, but the overall revenue base will increase, so it will not have much impact on us."
"Unconsciously, it has become a collection of interests across all countries in the world..."Lin Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh.
"The joint investment of multiple capitals is the most stable and safest artist development model."
"Does that mean they'll protect me?"
"There is a general trend where potential and commercial value can be tapped, and artists will always be sheltered by capital."
Lin Qingyuan thought about it, too.
The people who go in when something happens are some of the former top streams who have passed the gas, and like the kind of really valuable general trend top stream accidents, they are all cold treatment for a period of time and come back...
"So the follow-up itinerary of the United States has been decided?" Lin Qingyuan said with a smile: "I feel that signing into Universal and IMG one after another is a rare opportunity, and it seems a pity if I don't make a fuss in the United States." ”
"Well, it just happens to be connected with the Vogue and Zhizu shooting that have been talked about before, but it can only take the promotion route of fashion and marketing."
"That's enough, of course, if the marketing efforts are in place." Lin Qingyuan also developed in this way in the early days, so he knows the key to the model very well.
"Thinking too much, it would be a fantasy if we could market like we in China in the United States."
"Hahaha, take your time..."
"And then there is one more thing, the company's new contract this year has been sent, from now on, you and the company will be divided into six, and the contract period will remain the same."
When Lin Qingyuan first debuted in 15 years, he signed a six-year newcomer contract with Cehua in four or six parts.
This means that Lin Qingyuan's contract will be effective from the end of 15 years and will not end until the end of 21.
The contract of newcomers in the entertainment industry is almost such an average level, with a duration of five to eight years, and a share ratio of three to fifty percent, so those who do not meet these two conditions are likely to be black-hearted companies.
But fortunately, because of Lin Qingyuan's explosion last year, many companies in the circle had the idea of digging into the wall, so Tsehua decided to upgrade the sharing ratio to five or five without changing the contract period.
And this year, with his improvement in all aspects, he was upgraded to June Fourth, so it is quite acceptable.
After all, the top stream in the circle has just become popular for a few years, and it is almost this level of brokerage.
Wang Yibo became popular in 19 years, and it was not until 21 years that he got a 55-share contract, but it only took one year to contribute a net profit of 300 million yuan to Yuehua, which shows that his total income that year exceeded 600 million.
And the other top Xiao Fei was even worse, he finally got a fifty-fifty share, but he still had to be pumped by the three companies Wow Haw Wow, Xinli, and Penguin in turn, of course, the corresponding thing is that his resources are very good.
Therefore, it is difficult to determine which will be higher than the income of this expansion base reduction ratio or the original income.
But in fact, Lin Qingyuan attaches more importance to the future development plan, so he is willing to take the initiative to give part of the profit to IMG, so as to get IMG's strong promotion channels in the United States and even the world.
In the early stage, the foundation is firmly laid, and as long as there are no accidents in the later stage, you can collect a lot of rice.
This is also another characteristic of Lin Qingyuan that distinguishes him from other top streamers: he does not reject the behavior of making quick money while it is hot, and it is just a normal cash-out, but he also has a detailed long-term plan, so he is willing to sacrifice some short-term interests in exchange for more possibilities in the future.
Of course, while he has a higher development ceiling, he will also face greater risks.
After all, the entertainment industry is updated so quickly, maybe they will be thunderous in two years, or the traffic may not be able to keep up with the lake...
[To tell the truth,Recently, I've been using wild fruit to read and read books to chase more,Change the source switch,Read aloud with more timbre,Android and Apple are available.】 】
But in general, Lin Qingyuan is still very satisfied with today's discussions.
On the one hand, he got a higher percentage of the share contract, and it is no exaggeration that one percent means 100 million.
On the other hand, if nothing else, he should be able to establish a three-in-one community of interests with Cehua Films, Universal Music and IMG, and he is the bridge between the three companies to exchange interests.
Although it will reduce part of his income, Lin Qingyuan also took this opportunity to get promotion channels in Europe and the United States that he had not been able to access before.
Anyway, the road is a lot wider.
