Chapter 131 Okay, It’s Finally My Turn to Trick You.
Generally speaking, brokerage companies prefer that the management contract be as long as possible, because they need to spend a lot of time and money on artists to develop their business capabilities and increase their popularity and commercial value.
These are long-term investments. If the contract period is too short, it is very likely that the artist who has spent a lot of money to cultivate will have an embarrassing situation where his contract expires just after he has shown some improvement, and he is poached by other companies at a high price.
After all, the agency is not here to do charity. In order to bind artists as much as possible, enjoy the benefits brought by the artists, reduce risks and cover costs, the longer the contract period, the better.
Moreover, a longer contract period means that the agency has stronger control over the artist.
On the contrary, for most artists, it is better to have a shorter management contract. Otherwise, it would be too miserable to leave your destiny to a company and have to freeze your entire acting career if you disobey.
The short term of the contract means that the artist has the qualifications to fall out with the agency.
As artists become more and more popular, the role of managers becomes smaller and smaller - because the main role of managers is to rely on their own connections and resources to find jobs for artists, so when artists gradually develop and own these resources After that, agents became less and less important.
Therefore, the management contract should use high liquidated damages and long terms as much as possible to keep new artists in the company.
Basically, everyone in the entertainment industry knows this common sense.
But the contract before Guan Yunpeng was different.
"Three, three years?!" Guan Yunpeng raised his head in disbelief and looked at Yang Ruoqian, "Mr. Yang, are you sure about the contract time? Is it okay?"
Logically speaking, an artist like him, who has to be cultivated almost from scratch, must get a contract that lasts for more than ten years.
What is enough time to do in three years? All the money, resources and time have been invested. The artist has just grown up, and the contract expires before he can bring any profit to the company!
When the time comes to renew the contract, it all depends on whether the artist is willing or not.
Even if the contract is renewed, the commission items in the contract will definitely not be based on the previous figures.
So... what does Mr. Yang’s three-year contract mean?
Moreover, the guaranteed income in this brokerage contract is not low, with a monthly after-tax salary of 30,000!
Yang Ruoqian looked at the contract, shook his head and said, "No problem. In Kuaiguang Group, the agency contract is signed every three years."
It must be signed every three years to avoid the profit risk to the greatest extent!
If there is a one in 10,000 chance that Guan Yunpeng becomes popular due to various unforeseen circumstances, it will definitely become a lingering cancer for the company's profitability.
As long as the contract period is short, when the period is up, Guan Yunpeng will be poached by other brokerage companies with higher salaries to help Kuaiguang Company get rid of this cancer.
And if Guan Yunpeng doesn't become popular as he expects, then no other company will come to poach him, and it will be simple to renew his contract by then.
All in all, a three-year contract brings all the benefits and no harm.
If the contract lasts for a long time, Guan Yunpeng makes money, but has to stick to the company because of the contract, Yang Ruoqian won't know who to cry to.
However, Guan Yunpeng didn't know these thoughts of Yang Ruoqian, and he felt a sense of trust in his heart: "Mr. Yang, don't worry, I will definitely not leave the company!"
Seeing Guan Yunpeng signing the contract, Yang Ruoqian nodded: "Our partners will come to the company to sign the final contract with us later, so be prepared."
…
Chengyu Media, an elite team of eight people are heading to Shengjing Mansion together.
Sitting on the left side of the back row, Cheng Fei placed her laptop on the small table and browsed the latest news and consultations.
[A real-name anchor from the Yuefu Guild exposed evidence of illegal recruitment of underage anchors within the guild. Now the relevant departments have intervened in the investigation! 】
[An actor from Yuefu Entertainment revealed a shocking scandal! 】
[Yuefu Group’s stock price plummeted! 】
Most of the hot searches during this period seem to be inseparable from the word Yuefu.
"Yan Guang's influence alone will definitely not be able to keep things fermenting for that long." Cheng Fei thought as she clicked on the comment section of these headlines, "There are other companies behind it that are adding fuel to the fire... However, Yue The government itself is not clean either.”
There is no smoke without fire. If Yue Mansion didn't really have so many problems, hostile companies wouldn't be able to smear it even if they wanted to.
In the comment area, there were also a lot of curses, and there were not even a few trolls to be seen.
Because the speed at which trolls flood the internet with comments is not as fast as online abuse.
"This company is a pure hype dog. All I can say is that it is a good thing to die."
"Yuefu's butt is crooked, do you understand what I mean?"
"Shut down quickly!"
"The anchor I am a fan of was cheated by this company, and now he directly announces that he will stop broadcasting permanently. I am stupid."
"I recommend that anyone who wants to get into the live streaming entertainment industry avoid this company."
"Many people see big companies with high benefits and cannot listen to advice. Don't look back until you hit the wall."
"..."
After reading these comments, Cheng Fei closed the web page and rubbed his forehead.
This Mr. Yang is pretty awesome...
He knew how to take advantage of the conflicts between the giants and seize the short window period when Yuefu was in a state of distress. He rushed into the entertainment industry and quickly filled the gap in the market.
He also took advantage of the trend to create a wave of momentum for his own company.
The means are good.
However, who would have thought that such a boss would actually send them a terrible script that shocked the whole company - even worse than the previous chat in the coffee shop.
Cheng Fei had a headache and looked at the dull atmosphere in the car with her peripheral vision.
It stands to reason that the two sides of the cooperation are Chengyu Media, which has abundant funds, ambitions to enter the entertainment industry, and top-notch personnel; the other side is a brokerage company that has a large number of elites and can still rise strongly despite the pressure of established companies.
With powerful forces joining forces, everyone should be in high spirits.
But in the car, the screenwriter and director Cheng Fei spent a lot of money to hire each had a Pad in their hands, frowning, and looking at each other from time to time.
"Mr. Cheng, do you really not think about it any more?" The screenwriter looked at the toilet paper novel in his hand that was about to be adapted into a script, and couldn't help but said, "Based on my many years of screenwriting experience, this If the script is made into a web drama, it will basically not be able to make too big a splash."
The director also echoed: "Mr. Cheng... with all due respect, if it had been anyone else, I would not have filmed this script no matter how much money I was given."
If this thing is photographed, it will ruin your reputation too much.
Although he is not a particularly big-name director, he has made several small hits, has rich experience, and has good reputation, reputation and ratings.
Cheng Fei had also seen the plot. To be honest, at that moment, she had the urge to end the cooperation with Yang Ruoqian directly.
However, Yang Ruoqian's guarantee restored her confidence - at least, she had no risk of losing money.
"So, do you think Yang Ruoqian is a fool who wants to lose money?" Cheng Fei played with the pen in her hand, "If a web drama really loses money, it will be a huge bottomless pit. He has promised, If this show fails, Kuaiguang Company will bear all the losses."
The director still had doubts: "But what if he sees the red letter on the bill and simply declares the company bankrupt?"
Mr. Yang's personal debt is very healthy. Even if the company goes bankrupt, it will not affect him at all.
When the web drama collapsed, he ran away and everyone could only stare.
"Kuiguang Company is not a shell company. It has huge assets and stable income." Cheng Fei shook his head, "And why would he do this? Their company is well run and has strong earning power. There is no need to run away just to defraud an investment.”
The screenwriter added: "But we cannot rule out the possibility that Yang Ruoqian made a mistake in judgment."
Cheng Fei raised her head and looked at the Shengjing Haoyuan Building in front of her: "We have already arrived at Kuangguang Company. Can you make your own judgment then? Anyway, we won't lose money."
At this point, the members of the elite team finally stopped talking.
The car stopped at the entrance of the building. Cheng Fei got out of the car first, followed by others. After they registered at the front desk, they took the elevator to the 24th floor.
Two front desk ladies in professional attire were already greeting them at the elevator door.
"Welcome to everyone from Chengyu Group. Our leaders are waiting for you in the conference room. Mr. Yang will be here shortly!" They said with a smile and a respectful tone.
When several people arrived at the company and saw the working environment in Kuaiguang Group that was beyond the normal range, they all showed surprise, just like all the other newcomers.
Fixed procedure, you have to go through it no matter what.
However, the most shocked person at this time was not the eight people from Chengyu Group, but Shao Yiqi, who was smiling and talking eloquently in the office area.
He was talking proudly to Weng Ziqin about how he planned to optimize Gao Naiyun's business, when he suddenly heard the words "Chengyu Group", and his whole expression changed.
There is a certain overlap in business between the company run by Shao Yiqi's father and the company run by Cheng Fei's father...
The two companies are about the same size, so they are in a competitive relationship.
Moreover, Shao Yiqi and Cheng Fei were barely the same age - Cheng Fei was only three years older than him.
So naturally, in the ears of Shao Yiqi, Juan Wang Chengfei became "the kid from next door".
During business dinners, the successors of both companies would attend, but Shao Yiqi would always be pulled out and whipped.
With a snap, Shao Yiqi lowered his head.
He didn't want to see this person.
It's a pity that Cheng Fei accidentally saw Shao Yiqi and was really surprised: "Shao Yiqi, are you here too?"
At this moment, Yang Ruoqian also received a notification from the front desk and walked out of the office, just in time to see this scene.
Although Yang Ruoqian didn't understand what was going on for the time being, the extremely uncomfortable expression on Shao Yiqi's face was extremely rare!
Suddenly, a revenge plan arose in Yang Ruoqian's heart.
Shao Yiqi, you kid stabbed me in the back three times and cost me millions less. This time it’s my turn to trick you...
