"Ahem, Mr. Tong, why are you here?"

At the exit of Rongcheng Airport, coincidentally, Tong Yi, the president of Penguin Music, and Wang Le of Cloud Music collided together.

"Then Mr. Wang, why are you here?"

When Wang Le heard Tong Yi's words, his face did not change much, and he said without blushing and heartbeat:

"I'm here to travel."

Tong Yi looked at each other with a smile: "Do you want to bring an assistant with you for a trip?"

"Mr. Wang is really interesting."

Wang Le asked rhetorically, "What about you, Mr. Tong? What are you doing in Rongcheng?"

Tong Yi also replied casually: "You are allowed to travel, can't we Penguin Music come to team building?"

Wang Le laughed and replied, "Hahahaha, of course you can."

The two laughed face-to-face for a while, and then Wang Le suddenly hurriedly pulled his assistant and ran to the taxi that had just arrived.

Tong Yi also reacted and hurriedly chased after him.

......

You Man looked at Tong Yi and Wang Le, who were sweating profusely in front of him, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Both, didn't we all say it before, Tongji's music copyright will not be exclusively authorized."

"When the time comes, it's just a normal renewal, there's no need for this."

The two glanced at each other, and both saw the hostility in each other's eyes.

In the final analysis, it's because of the insecurity of each other.

Although it is a verbal agreement, the two companies have been unscrupulous in their previous struggle for copyright.

They also know that the best outcome is to stay the same.

But if there is really no copyright of Tongji, the loss will be great.

Instead of betting that the other party is talking about it, it is better to strike first.

Of course, having said that, you still have to get by on face.

"Manager You, in fact, the two of us came here to talk about the renewal of the contract together."

"I don't want exclusive rights."

Hearing Tong Yi's words, Wang Le also quickly nodded in agreement.

"That's it."

Of course You Man didn't believe it, these two people were at the door of Tongji Entertainment's company just now, and it was said that they almost pinched each other.

Of course, You Man didn't expose it, just nodded.

And said that the renewal of the contract can be decided in advance now.

This matter is what Xu Ji has always emphasized, and he doesn't want the music copyright to be exclusive.

The first is that the exclusive copyright fee is actually not much more than the two sides making money together.

The second is that I don't want the song copyrights on both sides to be scattered.

For example, in some of the competitions that Xu Ji and Sha Yetong participated in before, the copyright of the live version of the music source is basically only available on one of the platforms.

Although it is said that the studio version will be released later, there are times when some fans are still used to listening to the live version.

Therefore, it is best that Tongji Entertainment's music copyright can be on both platforms.

After all, this is not like a video platform, the user overlap is relatively high, and it may be used by several websites.

For the software for listening to songs, most people still have the problem of using habits.

......

During this time, because of the golden note awards, the popularity of Tongji Entertainment was very high.

Not only a few people, but most of the artists under Tongji Entertainment have received quite high traffic.

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

Send a blade or something to Xu Ji.

In general, although Xu Ji sometimes initiates a knife to be inappropriate, not every drama is so inappropriate.

"Director Xu, you are really not a good person."

Yu Wulong, the person in charge of Cherry Animation, had moist eyes at this time, and couldn't help but complain.

It is not too strange that Xu Ji has been scolded all along, and every time a new drama of Tongji Entertainment is broadcast, the first thing many viewers worry about is whether Xu Ji will have another tragic ending this time.

But even so, after reading the script of the new movie that Xu Ji planned to make, Yu Wulong still felt that the previous ones were a bit pediatric.

"Are you reading my script?"

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment after hearing Yu Wulong's words.

This time, I called the other party, in fact, mainly because Xu Ji planned to give Cherry Animation a new animated movie script.

Later seasons of "What About That Rabbit" are also in production.

Overall, it's not very difficult, and there is still a lot of free time for the current scale and ability of Cherry Animation.

So Xu Ji simply put the new animated movie on the agenda.

When he heard the news, Yu Wulong ran over excitedly.

Seeing that Xu Ji was busy, he found that there was still a script on the other party's table, so he simply read it.

When he first saw the name "I Am Not the God of Medicine", he thought the name was a little strange.

But looking at it, he realized that something was wrong, he was quite happy today, but he suddenly became depressed because of this story.

"Director Xu, can't this ending be changed?"

"Seeing that I'm jammed."

Yu Wulong said.

Without waiting for Xu Ji to answer, he continued:

"It's better to forget it, it's not good if you change it......

I wanted to change him out of an audience's perspective.

I really don't want the characters in it to end so tragically.

But then I felt that it shouldn't be changed, after all, he himself is half a creator, and knowing such a plot can leave a deep impression on the audience.

That's why most of the time tragedy is the most classic.

And the direction of the plot is not deliberately fanned, it is quite reasonable, and there was some foreshadowing before.

Anyway, it's not the first time Director Xu has been scolded, and he probably gets used to it.

"Okay, this is the script of the next animated movie, you should study it carefully, and if you don't understand it, you can ask me directly."

"I guess it's going to take a while for my next film to start."

Xu Ji said.

He has been thinking about the choice of actors for "I Am Not the God of Medicine" during this time, and he was thinking about it just now, so he didn't notice that Yu Wulong had come.

Yu Wulong nodded, he hadn't come out of the script story he had just read.

Xu Ji also discovered this, so he said:

"It's okay, if you want to take the script back and read it first."

"Anyway, I guess it will take a long time for the official production to begin."

Yu Wulong took the script from Xu Ji's hand,

"Nezha's Demon Boy Descends to the World?"

"Journey to the West?"

Xu Ji nodded.

After choosing a few, he finally chose this anime.

First of all, it is indeed a relatively good work, and secondly, after the release of "The Great Sage Comes" last time, the popularity of the Journey to the West theme has remained high.

Including many animation companies that follow the trend, they have also made a lot of cartoons with the theme of Journey to the West.

It's just that the influence may not be great, and there are almost no excellent works that can get out of the circle.

Yu Wulong did not have the slightest doubt about this.

In fact, no matter what kind of animation script Xu Ji comes up with, he will trust it unconditionally.

After all, Xu Ji's own ability

Placed here.

What's more, this time it is still a Journey to the West theme, and the success of "The Return of the Great Sage" last time also increased Yu Wulong's confidence.

At this moment, You Man suddenly knocked on the door and came in.

Yu Wulong said goodbye and left, ready to go back to study the script.

......

"Boss Xu, it is estimated that the matter of repairing the building for the company will be put on hold again."

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, and the matter of Tongji Entertainment's repair of the company building had already been regarded as something that made him more worried about it before.

The most important thing is that there are too many company offices in the entire Tongji Entertainment now, plus a messy recording studio, a place to practice singing and performing.

The office space rented by Tongji Entertainment is basically spread over several districts of Rongcheng.

It's just a bit too much trouble.

And now that I have money, it's actually much more convenient to unify all of them together.

Therefore, Xu Ji has always asked You Man to be in charge of the construction of the company's building.

Before, it was because there was no money, but the follow-up movies were box office hits in a row, so it should not be bad money.

"If it is really repaired, then our company will have no liquidity."

You Man looked helpless.

Xu Ji was a little surprised.

"Not really......

You Man glanced at Xu Ji.

Then he began to complain.

"Not really?"

"How can you not spend money at such a fast rate?"

"Pirates of the Caribbean" went out more than a billion directly, and the entire series of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and the "Eucalyptus of Chinatown" series ......

"Now your "This is Not the God of Medicine" is actually fine, and the investment is not very high."

"But you know how big the investment is in Nezha: The Demon Boy Descends to the World."

"There are also miscellaneous expenses, the three studios of Cherry Animation, and the mountain special effects......

.......

You Man counted the treasures for a long time.

Xu Ji scratched his head a little embarrassed this time.

"This stall seems to be a bit big......

You Man shook his head.

"It's not just big, it's too big."

"If you change companies, at this scale, it is estimated that you will go bankrupt if you don't pay attention."

"We are relatively resilient to risks."

You Man then sighed.

"Mainly because our revenue channels are still a bit single."

"Cherry Animation and Rock Special Effects are basically only responsible for our company's own projects, which are basically self-produced and sold, and there are no other means of making profits."

"On the company's side, in addition to the box office share of films, basically most of the revenue sources are copyright income from film, television and music."

In fact, according to You Man's cognition, there are so many first-line artists under Tongji Entertainment.

Everyone is so popular, and many people are placed in some medium-sized companies, which are actually the main economic pillars.

But in Tongji Entertainment, the artist's degree of freedom is too high.

It's not that they can't monetize, it's that they simply don't want to.

Artists from other companies, cooperating with the company's arrangement is one thing, and the main thing is that they want to make money.

And when it comes to Tongji Entertainment, the company has no arrangements, and these artists under it seem to have trouble with money.

I don't know who brought the ethos.

You Man is really worried about this problem now.

In fact, according to the contract given by Tongji Entertainment, the announcement fee that artists can earn by receiving variety shows is not low.

But no one wants to make this money, as if as long as they do this, they will become an outlier of Tongji.

After Xu Ji heard You Man's words at this time, he suddenly pondered.

Actually, he didn't really want to bother with these things.

After all, in his opinion, he doesn't like to be on variety shows, he doesn't go, so he can't force others to go.

But after all, you still have to try, maybe someone actually wants to go, but because of his influence, they can't erase their face or something.

"I'll persuade you, in fact, it's not a bad thing to participate in some variety shows and receive advertising endorsements."

Xu Ji said.

Hearing Xu Ji's words, You Man also breathed a sigh of relief.

......

In the next few days, You Man was afraid that Xu Ji would forget, so he simply made an appointment with most of the current artists of Tongji Entertainment alone.

She also agreed with Xu Ji, and Xu Ji was responsible for persuading, but the final decision was still on everyone.

After all, if you force it, first of all, Xu Ji himself hates this kind of behavior.

It was precisely because of this that he thought about starting his own company.

You can't slay a dragon and become a dragon, right?

The second is that in fact, in terms of these artists under Tongji, even if they are in the Big Three, it is difficult to force them to do anything, and it is mainly persuasion.

First of all, the first one is, of course, Sha Yetong, basically don't think about it.

If Xu Ji participated, she might still go, but for some other variety shows, Sha Yetong was not interested at all.

followed by some of its actors, some of whom were still in the crew at this time, but Xu Ji also called.

But most people have the same attitude.

I'm an actor, just act well, what variety show do I go to, what kind of commercials do I shoot.

How good it is to have this time to improve your acting skills.

Money? I'm not short of money! Tongji Entertainment's remuneration is never in arrears, and although it is a friendship price, it will not deliberately lower the price.

Xu Ji looked at You Man and spread his hands.

You Man is also very helpless, she actually found out that most of the current actors in Tongji have a very low material desire.

A lot of people don't know how to spend the money they make.

When she was contacted, the other party directly asked if the company was short of money now.

If it was because of this, she would have been able to give her savings to the company first.

The deposit of more than 200 million yuan scared You Man and Xu Ji.

Since She Yue debuted, even now, she still lives in the small two-bedroom living room she used to live in.

It's just that I went from renting to buying it outright.

She said that she didn't know what to do with her savings, and she didn't lend them to the company.

directly left You Man speechless.

Only the company gives money to employees, but now it is good, but the employees say that they want to lend money to the company.

"There's another Ji Yiyang, do you still need to ask?"

Xu Ji glanced at You Man and asked.

Not to mention Ji Yiyang, not lacking money is one thing, and the second is that this guy is devoted to acting.

Let him go out to pick up variety shows or something, it is estimated that there is no hope.

"It's okay, I still have someone to choose, and I will definitely agree this time!"

You Man spoke.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Yu Feifei's agent, Zheng Yuzhen, walked in.

The other party used to be the gold agent of Phoenix Entertainment, but since Yu Feifei joined Tongji, Zheng Yuzheng's agent's company has become idle.

You Man felt that the other party must want to make Yu Feifei's popularity even higher.

used to often give Yu Feifei a lot of endorsements and advertisements, and he also filmed a lot of variety shows.

It's a good breakthrough.
