Zhang Jianzhang stood up and left the boss's chair, used tea sets to make two cups of tea for Chen Minhao and Kang Hui, and said, "Try the Pu'er tea given by your friend. Chen Minhao, you are a busy man. You haven't been here once since signing the contract." This is my office."
Chen Minhao grinned and said, "I'm not busy making money for the company."
"But you can still be considered as a member of the Three Treasures Palace." Zhang Jianzhang said: "Chen Minhao, you are an artist that our Shenmeng focuses on cultivating. No matter which publicity backbone you value, as long as you are not the public relations director, you can just speak up."
Kang Hui jumped in without any hesitation and said, "We don't plan to transfer someone from within the company. We plan to recruit a talented person from outside."
Zhang Jianzhang ignored Kang Hui. His eyes were slitted with confusion, and his face was still smiling, but his voice was obviously several decibels lower. He stared at Chen Minhao and said, "Chen Minhao, our company's public relations department is so big." General, isn't there anyone you can like?"
A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Kang Hui's mouth, he took out a stack of documents from his bag, threw it on the table, and said: "When Chen Minhao was auditioning for "Bing Di Lian", Xu Gaohan's team was playing tricks on Chen Minhao. At that time, I found that the strategy I formulated here could be known to the other party in advance, so I checked carefully and found that there were two specialists in the company’s public relations department who were reselling the company’s information.”
After Zhang Jianzhang picked up the documents on the table and read them over, he cursed angrily: "These two are eating the inside and outside of the trash." Then his eyes were slightly stern, and his anger became more violent. He threw the documents directly on the table and looked up at Kang. He replied and said, "Why didn't you report this earlier?"
Kang Hui flipped his hair, smiled softly, and said, "I have never found out who the cheater was before, and I only found out recently."
Chen Minhao thought to himself: Shit, let me tell you why. From then on, every time there was a publicity event, Kang Hui would only let a young man or a little girl come to work in his office. It turned out that she just wanted to attract the attention and leave Wang Zha behind. In your own hands.
Kang Hui said sincerely: "Because of this incident, I was worried about the public relations personnel within the company, so I came up with the idea of recruiting from outside. After all, Chen Minhao is now in a period of obvious rise, and I want to blackmail him. There are many celebrities. I am doing this not only for Chen Minhao, but also for our company. After all, if Chen Minhao is hacked or my public relations strategy goes wrong, the company will still suffer!"
Zhang Jianzhang lit a cigarette, threw the cigarette case on the table, and said: "The two commissioners who have problems in the company should be fired directly. But others may not have problems. Xiaokang, I think your thinking is a bit extreme, let's No matter whether you are a person or a person, you cannot beat others to death just because of a moron."
Kang Hui took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table and said, "Mr. Zhang, can you guarantee that there will be no problem with the others?" She reread the word "certain" specially.
Zhang Jianzhang was stunned for a moment and did not answer the question directly. He asked instead: "Then can you guarantee that the people you recruit from outside will have no problems?" He also emphasized the word "certainly".
Kang smiled back and said, "I can guarantee it."
… ….
Zhang Jianzhang was stunned, and so was Chen Minhao.
Zhang Jianzhang skipped the topic, frowned and said, "Then Chen Minhao is like a personal studio."
When Chen Minhao heard the word "studio", he knew that today was going to be a negotiation. After all, an artist signs a management contract with a company or an independent studio. There is a big difference between the two.
Generally speaking, in the early stages of an artist's career development, the contract signed with the company should be a brokerage contract or a performing arts contract. This is the current situation of Chen Minhao.
Artists need to accept the relevant restrictions imposed by the company, such as not being able to fall in love, not taking on private jobs, etc. The company will then be obliged to provide the artist with the "benefits" promised when signing the contract. For example, when Chen Minhao signed the contract, Mr. Zhang promised to film three dramas for Chen Minhao in a year, at least one TV series to be broadcast on a first-line satellite TV, to participate in at least one movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan, etc.
In addition, the company is responsible for the salary and work content of all Chen Minhao's staff, such as agents, executive publicists, makeup artists, costumers, and stylists.
Of course, in return, the money earned by Chen Minhao's acting, including his film remuneration, notice fees for participating in announcements, advertising fees, etc., must be divided 40-60 with the brokerage company according to the contract.
All in all, if, like Chen Minhao, an artist is under the management of a brokerage company, his acting career is led by the company, and his resources company is responsible for providing it. The artist needs to follow the company's planning and arrangements, and is in a relatively weak position.
If we say that when an artist has achieved some small career achievements, just like Chen Minhao now, a popular TV series has become a hit, an online series has become a hit, and now he has a score of 688 in the college entrance examination, and he has developed a high-school personality. At the same time, his fans are growing and his commercial value is growing.
Under such circumstances, almost all artists will inevitably have their own plans for their acting career and their own "little personality", or to be more straightforward, if they want to make more money, they will set up a studio It is an inevitable choice.
Studios are mainly divided into two types: 1. Artist studios relying on the company; 2. Independent studios with artists as the core;
Relying on the company's artist studio shows that the company attaches great importance to the artist and is willing to dedicate several employees to specialize in the planning and execution of the artist's acting career. At this time, the income of the artist's staff may come from the company, or they may have a name in the company, but the actual funds are distributed by the artist himself. The degree of freedom of the latter far exceeds that of the former, and is basically the pursuit of all artists in the middle and later stages.
Of course, the company will still provide artists with corresponding film and television resources, but artists have the right to choose whether to accept it or not. At the same time, artists themselves can be more flexible in participating in commercial performances and performing arts activities that they strive for. The division with companies is more flexible, and there are most studios like this in the industry.
Independent studios with artists as the core, such as some big flower studios. Their studio is actually a small agency and acting company. Because in addition to these big stars, their studio will also sign some other small stars.
Today, Chen Minhao and Kang Hui's small goal is to win the prototype of an artist studio.
Hearing Zhang Jianzhang's words, Kang smiled back and said, "How can this be considered a studio? Chen Minhao is still the company's contracted artist, and I am still the company's contracted agent."
Zhang Jianzhang smoked a cigarette silently, thinking: It is because of you that I am worried. He didn't say anything because Kang Hui took out the information that someone in the publicity team was cheating, which really caught him off guard. Zhang Jianzhang was silent for a long time, frowned and lit another cigarette.
Kang Hui decided to use her trump card. She put one hand on the information she brought and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, isn't our company planning to be listed on the New Third Board now? Why are you staring at these details? Chen Minhao With better development, the company is more likely to be approved for listing, and the stock price will look better after listing."
Although Kang Hui smiled as softly as water, her threat was beyond words. Her eyes seemed to say that if Mr. Zhang didn't agree, she would use the information in her hand to disturb the listing.
Zhang Jianzhang sighed and said: "Okay, I can promise you what you said. Chen Minhao, we can also make some adjustments to your contract. Four or six points, four for the company, six for you. Find legal counsel next week Re-sign the contract. However, you must promise me one thing, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential."
When Chen Minhao and Kang returned to Zhang Jianzhang's office, they looked at each other and smiled, like two old foxes and little foxes who had stolen grapes. Although there is still a certain distance between establishing their own independent studio, the two have exceeded their goals today.
Chen Minhao was basically the background wall throughout the entire scene, but he chose to appear with Kang Hui, telling Zhang Jianzhang: If he was asked to choose between Kang Hui and the company, he would choose Kang Hui. Sometimes standing in line is more important than words.
As soon as he got in the car, Chen Minhao said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so generous and even gave me a share. Sister Kang, I said it yesterday: Sister Kang, I want to thank you most for your support and help along the way. Yes, I will give you this share."
Kang Hui started the car and said with a smile: "No, as long as you have the heart." After the car started, she added with a smile: "I won't be embarrassed when I ask you for something in the future. of."
Zhang Jianzhang watched the wooden door of his office close. He looked at the tea set on the table and poured himself another cup of Pu'er tea. He suddenly felt that the Pu'er tea was a bit bitter.
Zhang Jianzhang buried his whole body in the boss's chair. Secretary Wang, who had been silent next to him and was wearing a black suit and short skirt, came over and rubbed Zhang Jianzhang's temples with his delicate hands. Secretary Zhang said softly: "Mr. Zhang, you are too kind to the two of them. Those few pieces of paper may not have much effect."
Zhang Jianzhang said with his eyes closed: "I know those pieces of paper may not have much effect, but at the critical moment of listing, I am not willing to take any risks. After all, those pieces of paper will indicate that there are problems with the company's internal risk control.
What's more, Chen Minhao is the signature mascot of the company's listing. He is now very proud, and I don't want to touch Chen Minhao's bad luck now. Please continue to press it for me. My brain is a little sore. "
Secretary Wang said softly: "Okay." Secretary Wang seemed to hear Zhang Jianzhang muttering in his sleep: "As long as it goes public."
