Zhang Jianzhang, CEO of Shenmeng Agency, and Kang Hui, Chen Minhao's agent, had a huge dispute over Chen Minhao's agency contract.
Zhang Jianzhang believes that Chen Minhao is just a lucky boy who became famous, and he does have some talent. But essentially, he is still a little kid, so if he starts with a harsh contract and makes some concessions, he will definitely be able to get him.
Kang Hui clearly opposed it. She felt that Chen Minhao had great potential, and she needed not only some preferential treatment in the contract, but also emotional care to win him over.
The elbows could not hold the thighs, and the employees could not defeat the boss. In the end, CEO Zhang Jianzhang came directly to negotiate the contract with Chen Minhao.
Zhang Jianzhang felt that from being an actor to a director and then to the CEO of a brokerage company, he had never seen any monsters and ghosts, and he had also experienced all the worldly things that he should experience. How could he not be able to win over a young boy
He decided to use the most cost-effective contract to win over Chen Minhao. On the one hand, he wanted to win a cash cow, and on the other hand, he wanted to show Kang Hui. He felt that Kang Hui was a little too arrogant and it was time to slap her in the face.
Kang Hui naturally understood what Zhang Jianzhang meant. After explaining the truth, he was too lazy to say anything more. There was no need.
After Chen Minhao returned from "Artist Producer", he has not received any information about Kang Hui's next work arrangements. However, many brokerage companies called and asked Chen Minhao if he had any ideas to talk about it. Chen Minhao did not confirm or refuse, he just asked them to send some introductions to his email.
Chen Minhao had no idea of changing the family, but he was in the same circle, so there was no need to reject him decisively, which seemed both childish and inhumane.
Chen Minhao felt that he was almost forgotten. It was not until the fourth day after he returned that he received a call from Kang Hui, asking her to go to CEO Zhang's office at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to discuss a new contract.
Early the next morning, Chen Minhao, wearing a mask and sunglasses, took a taxi to the company and arrived at the company.
This is the first time Chen Minhao has come to Mr. Zhang’s office.
Mr. Zhang's office is more than twice as big as Kang Hui's office, and the decoration and furniture have gone up several levels. The desks and bookshelves are all mahogany furniture, and the coffee table is made of old tree roots. There is a calligraphy painting hanging on the wall, which reads "Small victory depends on wisdom, great victory depends on virtue".
As soon as Chen Minhao entered, Mr. Zhang immediately stood up from behind the boss's desk, greeted him, asked him to sit down on the chair next to the coffee table, and made him a cup of tea with his own hands.
After Mr. Zhang sat down, he said to him: "I'm really busy these days and I don't have time to talk to you about the new contract. I'm sorry to make you wait a little anxiously."
Chen Minhao took a sip of tea and said, "Fortunately, there are quite a few people calling me these days, so I don't have time to rush, but I believe that it's not too late to have a good meal."
The plan to boil the eagle failed, but Mr. Zhang quickly suppressed his regrets, regained his composure and said, "Well said, it's never too late for a good meal. This is the company's newly drafted contract, take a look." After saying that, he handed over a contract. Chen Minhao.
After Chen Minhao glanced at it and saw that the contract period was 10 years later, he directly pushed the contract back.
Mr. Zhang patted Chen Minhao on the shoulder and said, "What's wrong? You're not satisfied with the contract. We can discuss the details. The company still values you very much."
Chen Minhao shook his head. This contract is simply harsher than the contract of a trainee who has not debuted. Are you kidding him in 10 years
Mr. Zhang laughed and said: "This is a contract drawn up by the Legal Department. Which terms are you dissatisfied with? We can discuss them?"
After Chen Minhao thought for more than ten seconds, he said: "This contract is as far away from my satisfaction as HeNan is to HeLan."
Chen Minhao has never thought about not signing Shenmeng, but if the contract is this kind of selling contract, he will have to change his family. He believes that given his current situation, someone will definitely be willing to pay the 3 million liquidated damages.
Mr. Zhang's face suddenly became very embarrassed, but Chen Minhao continued to add: "If the company has such a contract, I think there is no need for us to continue communicating. It is a complete waste of our mutual time."
After saying that, Chen Minhao stood up. Mr. Zhang's face was as cold as ice, he grabbed him and asked:
"How many years of contract can you accept?"
Chen Minhao shook his head: "It's hard to say. The number of years of the contract depends on the content of the contract, because the performance period of the contract must be considered based on all the payments in the contract. This is not a matter of discussing details, but of negotiating with such a contract. It's a complete waste of time." Chen Minhao thought to himself, it seems that you also know what is wrong with the contract.
Mr. Zhang stood up, took a new contract from the drawer, put it on the coffee table, and said, "Take a look at this contract. I believe this contract is the best contract for new people in the industry."
Chen Minhao did not reach out to take the new contract. He looked up at Zhang Jianzhang and asked with a half-smile: "Am I considered a newcomer? Or if I sign a contract with another company, Mr. Zhang, do you think they will treat me as a newcomer? ?"
Mr. Zhang pretended to be angry at first, but now he is really angry: "When you were a trainee, if the company did not hire a teacher for you, would you be able to sing or dance? If the company invested so much in publicity for you Resources, do you think you can take first place in "Artist Producer"?"
Chen Minhao said without thinking, "No."
Mr. Zhang smiled: "Then don't be a white-eyed wolf. The company is doing it for your own good. It just wants you to devote all your time to training before going to "Artist Trainee". That's why it didn't negotiate a contract with you. Think about it. , if the company really signed a contract with you at that time, where would things be now? You can’t use the company’s good intentions to do bad things!”
I believed your evil deeds!
Chen Minhao chuckled and said: "But I think the company didn't ask me to sign a contract before because the trainee contract is non-shareholding, which means the copyright of "Little Love Song" will belong to the company. If a new contract was signed at that time, the copyright would be gone. So simple. Moreover, the reason why the company did not sign the contract at that time was because it was not sure about my popularity and ranking."
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Minhao continued to add: "If the company estimates that my popularity is very low, the share of the contract will be relatively low, but if my actual popularity is very high, I may be dissatisfied with the contract and be dismissed. Other companies poached me from contracts with high commissions. On the contrary, if the company predicts that I am popular, then the commission from the contract will be high. If my actual popularity is relatively low, the company will feel disadvantaged."
Chen Minhao thought that Zhang would always blush or be ashamed after being exposed, but he didn't actually!
Mr. Zhang said calmly: "You can take a look at the contract on the table first. The company is very sincere. Of course, this contract may not be as good as contracts from other companies, but if you just become famous, you can change jobs." If so, what will the industry think of you, and what will your fans think of you? Maybe many fans will lose their fans and come back to dislike you?"
Chen Minhao laughed and said: "Among my fans, there are many who complain about the company's inaction. Many fans suggested that I change companies."
Mr. Zhang sat down and said: "As I said just now, the company attaches great importance to you and invests a lot of publicity resources in you. You probably don't know that for a while at that time, the viral video of Heizi trolling you was the company's hype. Knowing that a direct response would not be effective, I chose a roundabout strategy to make the company seem to be doing nothing and the fans seem to be fighting hard.”
"In this way, passers-by will feel that this company has not done anything when artists are hacked, so there should be no hype, and your fans will feel more sorry for you and work hard to vote for you."
Chen Minhao nodded: "I know, but so what? Fans will only think that they saved me, and now I listen to them and change companies."
Mr. Zhang's eyes narrowed: "I know that someone will definitely pay you the 3 million liquidated damages now, but if you leave the company, the company will expose this matter. Your fans are not stable now, you can't stand this Give it a try."
Chen Minhao said calmly: "Many people will regard the company's behavior as the behavior of hacking me after I left the company. Of course, you may also record our conversation and then expose the recording. Doing so would be fatal to me." One blow, but if you do this, Shenmeng will be stink in the entertainment industry. Mr. Zhang must know which is more serious."
After Chen Minhao drank the last sip of tea, he said: "I really don't ask for much, just come up with a contract that matches my popularity and future potential. Don't bury me with a rookie contract. It's not 10 years now." Before, the information was completely asymmetric. There were many agents calling me every day. I could also ask other trainees for information about other companies, so the company should come up with a sincere contract before communicating. I will go back today. "
After Chen Minhao finished speaking, he stood up. This time Zhang Jianzhang did not try to stay.
When Chen Minhao was about to reach the door, he turned to Mr. Zhang and said: "I heard from other trainees that there are activities and fan meetings that 9 people will participate in at the Kiwi platform. Let me say hello to you in advance. The new contract has not been finalized. Before, I definitely wouldn’t have participated.”
After Chen Minhao left, Zhang Jianzhang angrily threw the cup from which he had just drank tea on the ground and cursed: "This is a corrupt maggot."
Then, he decided to deduct all of He Tian's year-end bonus. He really wanted to pull He Tian over to see. Is this what she promised, soft-tempered and easy to talk to
There is another update in the evening.
