Chapter 129: Brokerage Firms

"By the way, Chen San, you shouldn't have a company in charge of your brokerage affairs in Japan, right?"

Yasuji Makai asked suddenly when he looked up.

"Nope! My current brokerage is still in charge of Baodao Fulong. Chen Qiming shook his head.

"That's it! My advice is that you sign up with a top Japanese firm.

As you know, different countries have different rules.

I've also heard of your Fulong company, which is a relatively large firm in China, but ...... in Japan."

When Yasuji Makai said this, he suddenly stopped.

In fact, Chen Qiming can also understand what he didn't finish.

He just wanted to say that in Japan, there are some things that Fulong can't handle.

This is not true.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake.

Even international companies such as PolyGram and Warner Records when they come to Hong Kong and Taiwan, they first give priority to cooperating with record companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then slowly develop.

And Fulong.

Fulong Company is indeed very capable in Baodao, regardless of political and business circles, Ge Fuhong has considerable energy.

But what about in Japan?

Ge Fuhong does have some connections in Japan.

In 90, China Television signed a contract with Tokyo Broadcasting (TBS) in Japan and officially concluded a sister station to cooperate with each other to broadcast some TV dramas or programs that can be circulated.

It is precisely because of this that Ge Fuhong has a relationship with TBS and has a certain network in Japan.

However, compared to local companies in Japan, her connections are definitely not enough.

And having a large company to take care of it, the benefits are self-evident.

Promotional resources and even the protection of artists from the persecution of certain people with ill intentions are essential things.

Perhaps, some people will say that Chen Qiming is not cooperating with Warner Japan!

Indeed, Chen Qiming has cooperated with Warner Japan, and now he can even be regarded as a singer under Warner Japan.

However, Warner is a record label, and its collaboration with Chen Qiming is limited to record collaborations.

As for the propaganda and even protection of Chen Qiming, they may take action.

But let them do their best, that is obviously impossible.

After all, the artist's agent doesn't give them a penny.

Therefore, as Yasuji Makai said, if Chen Qiming wants to have a good development in Japan, it is inevitable that he will have to find a brokerage company here to handle his affairs.

Otherwise, if there is no help from a local brokerage company, Chen Qiming may be difficult to get on the show.

"Since Mr. Ma Feed said so, it should have a suggestion!"

Chen Qiming asked with a smile.

Chen Qiming's relationship with Yasuji Makai no is not so good that the other party will take the initiative to care about his career.

The relationship between the two of them is at best an ordinary colleague relationship.

Even, maybe once the two end this record, it is possible that they will never be able to work together again in the future.

Therefore, Chen Qiming already had some guesses in his heart about the sudden concern of Koji Makaino.

Nine times out of ten, there is a Japanese office that takes a fancy to him and asks Ma Fed to be a lobbyist.

"I have a good relationship with Kitagawa, the president of Genesys & Associates, and I made Masahiko Kondo's "Sunset Song" before.

I can recommend you to them if you want. ”

Yasuji Makai said.

Hearing this, Chen Qiming smiled, "Mr. Ma Feed, you may not know that during this time, Yanyin and even your employer, Sony Firm, have approached me, hoping to win my Japanese brokerage agency." ”

"Is that so? Chen Sang is so popular! Hearing this, Makai Noyasuji's face stiffened and he smiled.

He is a person under Sony Associates, and he actually does not help his own owner, but helps his opponent.

It's okay if no one knows about this kind of thing, but now that Chen Qiming knows about it, he is quite embarrassed.

"In this way, Mr. Ma Feed, I will definitely give you face, if the Genesys firm is really interested in me, I will notify the Fulong company and let Fulong come and talk to Genesys."

Chen Qiming is still very interested in Genesys & Associates.

As the No. 1 studio in Japan's entertainment industry, Genesys' energy in Japan should not be underestimated.

Since its inception in the seventies, the company has launched countless groups and idols.

Well! It can be said that Janis is actually the master of Fulong's company.

Even, even UFO records are learned from Janiss.

Geneis is now similar to Fulong, both of which are contracted to train artists, and then ask everyone to make records, and then hand them over to large record companies for distribution.

Among them, Warner Japan is the object of their cooperation.

It is precisely because of the cooperation with Genesys that Warner Japan has become the current No. 1 record label in Japan.

Even Polygram, known as the world's No. 1 record company, has to make concessions to Warner Records in Japan.

At the same time, it is precisely because of the success of the cooperation model with Genesys in Japan that Warner will immediately set its sights on the UFO records that are copying their model with Genesys when it sets its sights on the Chinese-speaking market.

It can be said that in terms of the promotion and packaging of artists, Janis can definitely be called the top.

And Chen Qiming.

Although he considers himself a powerful faction.

But after eating the dividends of idols, and then letting him release records quietly like the singers of Rolling Stone, relying on the reputation of the record to gain momentum, he feels that he may really not be used to it.

So, he wanted to see what Janis could offer him.

"I'll contact Mr. Kitagawa, and I'll match Genesys with you as soon as possible...... Behind your back Fulong to talk. ”

Yasuji Makai said.

After leaving Warner Japan, Chen Qiming called Ge Fuhong as soon as possible and told Ge Fuhong about Dennis's desire to win his Japanese brokerage agency.

Ge Fuhong didn't agree at the first time, but just said that he would reply as soon as possible, and then hung up the phone.

Chen Qiming is not surprised by this.

Handing over Chen Qiming's Japanese brokerage agent to Genesy is a small matter for Chen Qiming, but it is not a trivial matter for Fulong.

Because, Chen Qiming's current brokerage contract belongs to Fulong.

According to the current contract between Chen Qiming and Fulong, his record, film and television remuneration will be given to Fulong 20%.

These two percent belong completely to Fulong.

Now, if the brokerage rights in Japan are handed over to Genesys, then it means that they may need to give away some of their interests.

Of course, it could also be a win-win.

"What do you think?"

In Fulong Company, Ge Fuhong found Liu Ciwei and told him the content of Chen Qiming's phone call.

"I think so!"

After a little silence, Liu Ciwei spoke.

Hearing this, Ge Fuhong sat up straight and motioned for him to speak.

Seeing this, Liu Ci pondered his words for a while, and then said:

"There is absolutely no doubt about Genesys' energy in Japan, if we can cooperate with them.

Chen Qiming's business in Japan is definitely better than if we were to run and develop it ourselves.

Although the addition of Genesys means that we may have to give up some of the brokerage commission, if Genesys operates well, we will make Chen Qiming a top idol in Japan.

Then, the more benefits you earn, the more you earn.

Overall, I feel like I can choose to work with them. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Ge Fuhong, "Recently, many companies have been keen on the benefits that Chen Qiming has brought to us, and they are beginning to move.

They feel like we're eating alone, and now, we need allies. ”

Hearing this, Ge Fuhong couldn't help but nodded.

The entertainment industry has never been a place where you can eat alone.

Take Hong Kong movie stars Jet Li and Stephen Chow as examples.

After these two people became popular, there were so many people who targeted them.

The end result?

The end result is that the two are now supported by a number of companies with various backgrounds.

Jet Li has Yongsheng in Hong Kong, mainland studios in the mainland, and Yang Dengkui in Baodao, these forces restrain each other and resist each other's pressure from the outside world, which is why Jet Li has brought benefits.

And Stephen Chow.

Everyone thought that Stephen Chow was the only one with Yongsheng on top of him.

Not really.

Behind him, in addition to Yongsheng, there is Li Xiuxian's Universal Pictures, and even TVB is his backstage.

In the mid-to-late 80s, when Stephen Chow was not yet developed, he had already signed a multi-year contract with TVB.

It is precisely because of the signing of the contract that Stephen Chow met Wan Ziliang when he starred in a wireless TV series, and then was recommended by Wan Ziliang to star in his first movie "The Man Who Catches the Wind", and recommended him to Li Xiuxian to star in the "Thunderbolt Pioneer" that made him stand out.

And when Stephen Chow starred in these movies, his contracts were all hung under the banner of wireless.

When Li Xiuxian and others invited Stephen Chow to make a movie, they first went to negotiate with TVB and rented Stephen Chow out by way of rental.

At that time, Li Xiuxian felt that it was too troublesome to do this, and he was also optimistic about Stephen Chow.

So, he tried to negotiate with Wireless and rented Stephen Chow out in terms of how much money he spent every year.

For seven years, Li Xiuxian loaned Stephen Chow for seven years.

Subsequently, Stephen Chow really became popular.

After Stephen Chow became popular, Li Xiuxian felt that he couldn't bear the pressure from external forces.

So he sold Stephen Chow to Yongsheng.

Note that not all of them are sold, but only about the films.

In the end, the two sides cooperated, and the box office was divided equally after the filming, and Stephen Chow's salary was distributed by Universal Pictures.

At the same time, because Stephen Chow is popular, the original owner of Stephen Chow is naturally reluctant to see others eat alone.

All intervened and wanted to go back to Stephen Chow to shoot several movies.

"The Judge of the Dead" and "Jigong" were shot with Met, a subsidiary of TVB.

In general, the background of the forces behind Stephen Chow is complicated...... It's also very picky.

and similar to Jet Li and Stephen Chow.

Chen Qiming is also currently at the point where the benefits can already make people blush.

Ge Fuhong himself has also felt recently that many people are asking her about Chen Qiming, intentionally or unintentionally.

Why do you ask him?

As an old oilman in this industry, Ge Fuhong naturally knows their purpose.

Even, even UFO and Warner Records have talked to her many times about wanting to buy Chen Qiming's Chinese record contract, but she finally refused.

"You're going to fly to Japan tomorrow and talk to Dennis about it.

In addition......"

After a pause, she spoke again, "Warner Records has added shares in UFOs, from the original 30 percent to 70 percent.

I suspect that it won't be long before UFO changes its surname to Warner.

Our relationship with Warner has always been sustained by flying saucers.

If the flying saucer completely becomes Warner, I am afraid that our cooperation will not be as easy as it is now.

When you come back from Japan, look for a suitable record label to work with! ”

After thinking about it, she said again: "Of course, don't leak the news, and wait for Warner to take power, and see how they cooperate."

If you don't plan to follow the previous way of cooperation, let's make another plan......"

……

"That's Akina Nakamori?"

In the evening, Warner Japan held a banquet.

Most of Warner's Japanese singers were present at this banquet.

Chen Qiming was also invited.

Because he didn't know anyone, after coming in, Chen Qiming found a quiet place to sit down with Yokoichi Murakami, an executive of Warner Japan.

Chen Qiming chatted with Murakami Yokoichi while scanning the people who came to the banquet.

Suddenly, he saw a familiar actress.

"Yes, it's Mingcai, Chen Sang, do you want to know her?"

Murakami is different from ordinary Japanese, he is very tall, 1.7 meters, and he is also handsome.

Because he is a rich second generation, he became a senior executive of Warner at a very young age.

He looked at Chen Qiming with a smile on his face.

Chen Qiming shook his head.

He's just curious about Akina Nakamori.

This is one of the most famous actresses in Japan in the 80s, and she has many fans in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Chen Qiming also had the pleasure of watching her concert CD.

At that time, it looked on the CD, Nakamori was really beautiful, and he was the type he liked.

Pity......

The current Nakamori Akina obviously does not have the fairy aura of the past, and looks haggard.

seemed to see the pity on Chen Qiming's face, and Murakami also regretted: "Kondo is really annoying, it's a pity ......"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but nod and cast his gaze to another position.

There, Kondo was chatting with a few young newcomers to the entertainment industry with a righteous face.

"Chen Sang, you sit down for a while, I'll guide those newcomers in the entertainment world, and I'll come back to you later.

When the time comes, let's go to the Uncovered Conference together! ”

Perhaps it was too boring to sit, Murakami sat for two minutes, then stood up, said hello to Chen Qiming, and walked briskly towards the center of the banquet.

After a while, Chen Qiming saw him walk into the next room with a few young and beautiful newcomers in the entertainment industry.

"Excuse me, is there anyone sitting here?"

Chen Qiming finished drinking the red wine in front of him and was about to get up and go to the center of the banquet to talk to someone, when a person suddenly sat down next to him.

"You're all sitting down? That shouldn't make sense, right? Chen Qiming said with a smile.

"Haha!" The woman who sat down couldn't help but chuckle.

"I know you, I've seen your magazines, and they call you a combination of China's Kondo and Tamaki Hao."
