Chapter 77 Establishment of Subsidiary
In the small tea bar, Li Xianyun was still talking to Dou Lingling.
Li Xianyun asked: "What company?" ”
"Brokerage firms."
Li Xianyun smiled: "What you're good at." ”
The agency takes the artist agent as the main body, the best one is the star agent, and the worse one is the actor agent, all of them are actors, and their status is far from the same.
In addition, there are also distinctions between agents themselves, including big brokers, film and television brokers, business brokers, executive brokers, brokerage assistants, and so on. Among them, the big broker is the big coffee broker, who belongs to the boss.
The film and television agent is responsible for the film and television business, the business agent is responsible for the business, and the executive agent is the actual executor of the big brokerage.
As for the specific configuration, it also depends on the broker's coffee position - this is the same as the same boss, and the level of the boss depends on the size of the company.
The agent itself serves the artist, and the artist often has stylists around him, N assistants, and some awesome stars have their own screenwriters, specializing in providing script modification opinions suitable for their own artists.
In addition, if there is a business event, then there must be publicity, planning, marketing, etc.
The big-name ones in these agents will also have assistants, and the awesome assistants will also bring assistants, which is simply a nesting doll, anyway, with fame and a level, they will instantly become delicate, and they can't work without an assistant.
So it's normal for a big-name star to go out with dozens of people around him.
The variety of brokers is complex, and the brokerage company is not simple.
The most awesome brokerage company is from training, to star-making, to brokerage one-stop service, to train a newcomer into a superstar and grab huge profits, so the contract for its own artists is also more harsh, the company takes ninety, and it is normal for artists to get one, which is the most awesome in South Korea.
Inferior ones, such as film and television companies, also train stars, but they don't start from a young age, they basically use their own film and television works, there is no special training means, it belongs to Gu cultivation, whoever is popular will use whom, and the treatment is slightly higher than that of South Korea. This kind of talk, it is possible to open in half and half, depending on the artist's fame, the strength of the company, how dark the heart is, and the ability to fool.
Again, it is a pure brokerage company, which has no works of its own, purely consumes artists, artists are the core, and their status is also high. Some agencies are simply the artists themselves as the bosses, and others work for them.
The most important thing is that there are no famous artists, pure actor agents, such as Ren Zhi.
Just catch an artist and sign it, you don't usually have to pay a salary, and you will get a cut when you send it to the crew. Don't say it, just like that, the dark-hearted ones dare to ask you for half of your income. After Ren Zhi signed a person like Yang Enjun, he sent the crew everywhere, and the price ranged from 20,000 to 100,000, and it would be good to have a few thousand yuan in Yang Enjun's hand.
The reality is complex, and there are rules, but they are often not followed.
What people can see is always the open-faced rules, but what they can't see is the unspoken rules in various industries, and different people even have different methods and operating habits.
Dou Lingling wants to be her own brokerage company, which is basically a pure brokerage company. What a pure brokerage company needs most is to be exquisite, to be able to deal well with major film and television companies, and to send its own artists over.
This can understand why Dou Lingling is here.
Li Xianyun asked, "So you want to cooperate with me?" Will I use your artists more in future films? ”
"No, I want you to invest." Dou Lingling replied.
Li Xianyun was stunned.
Sure enough, the awesome characters are amazing, and everything is optimized for consideration.
What kind of cooperation agreement do you want?
Investment is the most awesome cooperation agreement!
You are all shareholders, can you not use your own artists?
I want your money and your resources.
Li Xianyun shook his head: "I just said, I consider making my own stars, and the artists I will use in the future are basically my own." ”
"If you buy shares, the artists will be yours." Dou Lingling gave him a look you know.
I'll go!
Why are you all like this?
Everyone wants to push the artist to the bed of the opposite boss, and then change it to a good price.
Li Xianyun is not opposed to occasional romances, but he will not take this kind of thing as his main pursuit, let alone let it become a bargaining chip.
So he shook his head: "Then it also depends on how many shares you enter, and it depends on the right to speak." ”
Pure shares are not managed, accounting for 10 percent, and there are birds!
Dou Lingling said directly: "The company has not been established yet. ”
This is not a shareholding, this is a partnership to start a company.
That's different.
Li Xianyun thought for a while and said, "What are your plans?" ”
Dou Lingling replied: "Huayou has a third-line named Ji Tongyu, the contract is about to expire, he doesn't plan to renew his contract with Huayou, and wants to be independent." You know, that's how he can take the lion's head. ”
"Hmm." Li Xianyun has heard of this name, and his reputation is okay.
"I negotiated with him, and he was willing to join me and split it in half."
"Half?" Li Xianyun was surprised.
The artist is free when the contract expires, and it is basically impossible to sign a brokerage company in half.
It is not uncommon for artists to be awesome and twenty percent of their own companies, or even ninety percent of them.
This Ji Tongyu is willing to be half with Dou Lingling?
"Shares?" Li Xianyun asked.
Dou Lingling shook her head.
She is also very ambitious and will not let artists take a stake in the company.
"Then why would he agree?"
"He's also a good guy who gets into trouble a lot."
Li Xianyun understands that the brokerage company is not only a company that does business, but also a company that wipes the butts of artists.
can make Ji Tongyu choose half of the profit for this...... , I'm afraid this isn't your average bother.
This can understand why Dou Lingling wants to cooperate with herself.
You must know that the artist agency has done a good job, but there are rich financial resources, and the income brought by a powerful artist alone is more than that of a medium-sized enterprise.
Of course, it depends on the background of the times and the market situation.
The top artists in the earliest period were not worth anything at all, but with the development of the times, the eyeball economy has become more and more important, and artist endorsements have also risen.
In the heyday of Chinese artists, a top artist can generate billions of dollars a year, but this belongs to the ceiling level, with additional factor bonuses, depending on the strength of the brokerage team.
In the past two years, the market has turned cold, under normal circumstances, a first-line artist is operating well, it is still possible to have hundreds of millions a year, and the company has tens of millions of dollars in 20%, and if it can operate, it can earn more.
Third-tier artists are already qualified to receive endorsements, shoot two films and television a year, receive a few endorsements, and then run all kinds of commercial performances and variety shows, and it's no problem to say less about tens of millions.
In other words, Dou Lingling actually doesn't need Li Xianyun at all, and Ji Tongyu can guarantee the company's net profit of tens of millions a year.
But artists are a product that is easy to get up and easy to collapse, and it is more risky than movies.
This Ji Tongyu is a troublemaker, and he doesn't know when he will stab the leak, so Dou Lingling still needs to hug the big tree, to put it bluntly, it is to avoid risks.
Li Xianyun hates such people: "I don't like to work with this kind of person. ”
"I don't need your cooperation, the trouble is mine, and I have the ability to handle it." Dou Lingling said: "The trouble of the artist is the interest of the brokerage company!" An entertainer without trouble means that there is no point in our existence. ”
You're awesome!
It's also a set of cow theories!
Cattle people have cow theories, and their profession serves their own behavior.
However, Li Xianyun also knew that she said so, she really wanted to invest, or a big head, and I am afraid that if something happens, I still need to wipe my ass by myself, and I have to share the responsibility even if it is not good.
At this moment, Li Xianyun asked: "Will you hit him?" ”
There are a lot of artist agents who will focus on one person.
For example, there is a brokerage company in the island country, and there is only one artist, named Xiao Lidian, and the whole company revolves around him, and even publicly claims that we will not cultivate any more artists. For a while, Xiao Lidian ran to notice that he was tired and fell ill, and the boss of the company personally ran over to visit, bowed and begged him not to be fine.
Basically, as soon as Xiao Lidian falls, the company can be closed.
Li Xianyun asked this question, in fact, to ask Dou Lingling whether the goal was to stay in the pattern of making money.
Dou Lingling shook her head: "I don't plan to rely on him alone, I still hope to cultivate some of my own people." ”
So you still want to train new people?
This is also a factor that needs Yisheng Media. Yisheng Media is a small company, but it is really suitable for bringing new people.
In particular, they are still companies with potential.
Li Xianyun thought for a while and asked, "That Ji Tongyu, you won't recommend him to me, right?" ”
Dou Lingling shook her head: "He has a very high heart. ”
Well, you just say that he doesn't like me.
Next, they chatted carefully, and Li Xianyun also had a general understanding of the situation.
As Dou Lingling said, Ji Tongyu is a troublemaker, and Huayou is tired of him after three days, so this time neither party wants to renew the contract.
Ji Tongyu also knew her own problem, and she didn't want to change it, so she agreed with Dou Lingling to go to her company.
This means that Dou Lingling has to organize a strong team to escort Ji Tongyu, which is why she wants to be in half.
But for Dou Lingling, it is too wasteful for such a team to only help Ji Tongyu, and it is completely possible to bring some new people.
And newcomers are not qualified to be picky eaters, and the Internet University is the best place to start.
Dou Lingling has seen the rough cut version of the anti-time hunt, and made a judgment like Yang Yuan: This director is promising, and this technology is even more promising!
The most important thing to be a brokerage company is to be able to hug your thighs, but the most difficult thing is to hug your thighs.
You can't hold a big company, and a small company is unreliable - all the film and television companies around the world call our family the best, and none of the people in the circle dare to believe it, and they can't believe it.
It's rare to have a small company that can produce so many films in less than a year, which shows that at least the production is reliable, plus there are magical special effects, which can be relied on - although Dou Lingling is an executive in Huayou, but when she comes out, this big tree is not so easy to hold, so she can't point to Huayou.
Especially if a newcomer wants to send it to Huayou, it is even more difficult.
Huayou also has an artist, and it is also a major business!
Dou Lingling values the opportunity of Yisheng Media to cultivate newcomers, while Ji Tongyu takes the high-end route and basically does not have too much to do with Yisheng Media.
With the above ideas, Dou Lingling came over.
Hearing her say this at this moment, Li Xianyun thought for a while and said, "I'm not familiar with artist management, but I don't want to give up." I originally had the idea of cultivating myself, so let's set up a subsidiary of Yisheng Media, and you are responsible. ”
Am I your subordinate?
Dou Lingling was surprised.
Young man, you don't have a small heart.
Li Xianyun said with a smile: "This has an advantage, that is, you don't have to leave for a while." ”
Don't have to leave yet?
Dou Lingling was stunned.
She was ready to resign, but at this moment, Li Xianyun said this, and instantly understood what he meant.
Fuck me!
You're asking me to dig Huayou's footing.
But I have to admit that it's a really good idea.
Huayou Building will fall, I don't know how many years it can last, and many people will choose to retreat.
But sometimes a crisis is an opportunity.
If only it could be ...... before it collapsed
Dou Lingling took a deep breath.
Depend on.
She understood.
The young man in front of him is a little less experienced, but his brain is absolutely flexible, no wonder he can grow up so quickly.
On this day, Li Xianyun and Dou Lingling talked for a long time.
They eventually came to an agreement.
Yisheng Media invested 3 million, Dou Lingling invested 1.5 million yuan, and established Yisheng Brokerage Company, but Yisheng Media itself also has capital needs in the early stage, and can only take out 2 million in the early stage, and the next 1 million will wait for the ghost record and anti-time hunting online.
Dou Lingling's shares will be held by her family, which has nothing to do with her on the surface, but in fact, the company is located in the capital, and Dou Lingling is responsible for the operation.
As a Huayou executive, Dou Lingling has a wide range of contacts, and there are many suitable targets, and she wants to do this, and she doesn't have to cooperate with Li Xianyun, so Li Xianyun also made great concessions.
The first is Yisheng Media's filming from now on, each film must have at least two to three artists from Yisheng Agency, and at least one No. 3, at least three per year, with an average investment of not less than three million per film, and a term of three years. And the price is calculated independently, which means that there will be no internal preferential price.
The second is that Dou Lingling has great decision-making power over the company, although Yisheng Media is a holding company, it restricts many powers to ensure that Dou Lingling's position will not be shaken.
The third is the cooperation between Yisheng Media and other companies, which also requires the participation of Yisheng Agency, even including the production of projects. In other words, Yisheng Brokerage Company also has the right to participate in the project, but this right is not mainly used to divide money, but to fool artists. You see, we are not a pure brokerage, we are a great company that can participate in the production.
A brokerage company that can lead the production of the project is very good!
Otherwise, why do actor agents often hang the position of actor assistant director? This position can be a fictitious position, but if you can participate in the project, then you can have real power, become a part of the "black hand", and even participate in the box office share.
And this is of great benefit to Dou Lingling to sign artists in the future: the flickering capital has increased.
Fourth, Yisheng Media shall not establish the same type of subsidiary within three years. This can be regarded as a restriction on the parent company by the subsidiary.
Fifth, if Yisheng Media's own artists want to transfer contracts in the future, they must give priority to Yisheng Brokerage. This is requested by Li Xianyun, and the meaning behind this clause is that Yisheng Media will also have its own artists, rather than all artists being handed over to Dou Lingling at the beginning.
I can't take advantage of everything, can I? If you ask for so much, it means that the roles that can really praise people will not be given to you, but will only be invested as a capital increase after becoming popular!
Sixth, the company did not pay dividends in the first two years, but actively invested in making the enterprise bigger.
There's a bunch of conditions down there.
In the end, Yisheng Media, as a major shareholder, accounts for 60% of the company's shares, Dou Lingling accounts for 30% of the shares, and the other 10% is given to some team members brought by Dou Lingling to occupy the shares, and Dou Lingling herself is not in the company for the time being, so there is no salary, and the nominal person in charge of the company is designated by Dou Lingling, a woman named Xu Shiqin. With the help of her position in Huayou, Dou Lingling can continue to dig into the corners of Huayou, and secretly transport business, contacts, and resources to her own company.
At the same time, Dou Lingling also signed a VAM agreement with Li Xianyun, if Dou Lingling can make the company's volume reach the standard amount within a period of time under the support promised by Li Xianyun, she can purchase 15% of the option shares from Yisheng Media at a premium of up to 20% on the basis of the current price, which is equivalent to her personal shares and Yisheng Media, plus her team holds 10%, which means that Dou Lingling will have absolute control over the company.
But it's necessary.
Dou Lingling is different from Xuandong, she is a business talent, the essence of her joining Yisheng is to start a business, not a part-time job, Li Xianyun actually invests in her with resources and cash, and the so-called subsidiary is affiliated to put it bluntly.
They are cooperative in nature.
Qin Yuqi, Bai Xiaoxian, and Lin Xiaoyu's contract will not be placed in this company, but is still in Yisheng Media, after all, the three of them are the people Li Xianyun wants to support, and the past is also calculated according to the capital increase.
But Dou Lingling can sign a lenient brokerage contract with them, and if there is business, she can also pull them over.
Otherwise, you can't afford to eat just by getting paid.
At this stage, Qin Yuqi, Bai Xiaoxian and Lin Xiaoyu are equivalent to the joint cultivation of Li Xianyun and Dou Lingling, Li Xianyun produces works for them, and the works are the cornerstone, with this, Dou Lingling will better package them and take on some ordinary business.
In general, the company has a great deal of autonomy, independent financial accounting, cooperation and independence between each other, in the future the company grows and grows, it is possible to break away from the system of the company, and the company will retreat from the dominant position to the relationship between shareholders and partners.
For Li Xianyun, who is not good at packaging, this is the safest and most worry-free plan at present, and with the development of this company, he can learn a lot.
The addition of Dou Lingling gave Li Xianyun a mature and reliable brokerage team.
After completing several important negotiations, Yang Yuan took him to a forum of film and television bigwigs.
In the past few years, the bigwigs have nothing to do with various forums, summits, at which they state their judgment on the market prospects, talk about outlets, tracks, closed loops or something, and all levels of heads and brains can participate.
Yang Yuanzhi was kind and took him to participate in a relatively high-end game.
The bosses of major film and television companies in China have participated, such as Sun Junliang of Shengda Media, Shi Jun of Huayou Group, Zheng Honghui of Linglan Group, Lu Xuanyou of Longce Group, Hua Fengbin of Shenghai Group, Zhao Mingshuang of Dongluo Company, Zhang Changhong of Jingyuan Company, and Lao Changgui of Jingyang Film and Television...... Celebrities from all walks of life in the film industry, vision, and all walks of life have gathered here.
In addition, there are a bunch of celebrities who have also come to this summit.
It's a pity that because the summit is too high-end, Li Xianyun is not qualified to sit in the front row at all - he and Yang Yuan and a group of people from other companies who don't know what to do sit in the last row, watching the group of people on the stage from a distance are in high spirits, only for the sake of the audience.
Pure special come over and join in the fun.
Some reporters looked for targets everywhere, and when they saw Li Xianyun, they asked him what he was doing, and Li Xianyun said that the big one was filmed, and only a small production with a cost of 3 million and a small production with a cost of 10,000 yuan was launched.
The reporter instantly put the microphone back.
Li Xianyun didn't care about it, so much so that Yang Yuan was a little embarrassed, and apologized to Li Xianyun repeatedly: "These reporters are like this, all of them are very realistic." ”
Li Xianyun shook his head: "Normal, I don't have this qualification now." ”
As he spoke, he looked at the stage.
A middle-aged man on the stage is talking about the future of Chinese film and television, his words are conclusive, his tone is sonorous, and his words are full of confidence.
Li Xianyun didn't know who the other party was, and he didn't care, he just said softly: "But one day, I will also stand on that stage and make an impassioned speech, and that is just my starting point......"
