Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Chapter 187 Prelude to the studio (12)

Zhang Jianzhang got up and left the boss chair, made two cups of tea for Chen Minhao and Kang Hui with the tea set, and said, "Taste the Pu-erh tea from your friend. You are a busy man, Chen Minhao. You haven't been here once since signing the contract." This is my office."

Chen Minhao grinned and said, "I'm busy making money for the company."

"However, you can be regarded as going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing." Zhang Jianzhang said: "Chen Minhao, you are the artist we focus on training in Shenmeng. No matter which publicity backbone you value, as long as you don't want a public relations director, you can just speak up."

Without the slightest hesitation, Kang Hui interjected directly, and said, "We don't plan to transfer from within the company, we plan to recruit a talented person from the outside."

Zhang Jianzhang ignored Kang Hui, his eyes were narrowed, his face was still smiling, but his voice dropped several decibels, he stared at Chen Minhao and said, "Chen Minhao, our company's PR department is so big. Will there be no one you can catch your eye?"

There was a mocking smile on the corner of Kang Hui's mouth, he took out a stack of documents from his bag, threw them on the table, and said: "When Chen Minhao auditioned for "Bingdilian", Xu Gaohan's team was blackmailing Chen Minhao with the rhythm. 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 are two specialists in the company's public relations and publicity department who are reselling the company's information."

After Zhang Jianzhang picked up the documents on the table and looked at them, he cursed angrily, "These two are rubbish." Then his eyes froze slightly, his heart became more hostile, and he threw the documents directly on the table, looking up at Kang Back, said: "Why didn't you report this matter earlier."

Kang Hui brushed his hair, smiled softly, and said, "I haven't found out who the stalker is before, and I only found out recently."

Chen Minhao thought to himself: Shit, let me tell you why since then, every time there was any publicity activity, Kang Hui only let a young man or a young girl come to work in her office. in their own hands.

Kang Hui said sincerely: "It's also because of this incident that I don't feel at ease with the company's internal public relations personnel, so I came up with the idea of ​​recruiting from outside. After all, Chen Minhao is now in an obvious rising period, and I want to blackmail him. There are many celebrities. I did this not only for Chen Minhao, but also for our company. After all, Chen Minhao was hacked or my public relations strategy went wrong, and the company is the one that suffers!"

Zhang Jianzhang lit a cigarette, threw the cigarette case on the table casually, and said, "It is the two commissioners who have problems with the company, and they will be fired immediately. But the others may not have problems. Xiaokang, I think your thinking is a bit extreme. Let's No matter how you behave or do things, you can't beat others to death just because of a moth."

Kang Hui took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, and said, "Mr. Zhang, can you guarantee that the others will be fine?" She deliberately re-read the word must.

Zhang Jianzhang was stunned for a moment, and didn't answer the question directly. He asked instead: "Then you can guarantee that the people you recruit from outside will have no problems?" He also re-read the word "certainly".

Kang Hui smiled and said, "I can guarantee it."

……….

Zhang Jianzhang was stunned, and Chen Minhao was also stunned.

Zhang Jianzhang directly skipped this topic, frowned and said, "Then Chen Minhao is similar to a personal studio."

When Chen Minhao heard the words "studio", he knew that today's negotiations were about to start. After all, whether an artist signed a brokerage contract with a company or an independent studio, there was a big gap 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. Chen Minhao is currently in this situation.

Artists need to accept the company's relevant restrictions on them, such as not being able to fall in love, not being able to take private jobs, etc. Then the company will 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 make three films for Chen Minhao a year, at least one TV series broadcast on the first-line satellite TV, and at least one movie with an investment of over 100 million yuan.

In addition, the salary and work content of all Chen Minhao's staff, such as agents, executive publicists, makeup artists, costume artists, and stylists, are all in the company's responsibility.

Of course, in return, the money Chen Minhao earned from performing arts, including his filming remuneration, announcement fees for participating in announcements, advertising fees, etc., must be divided into 40 or 60% with the brokerage company according to the content of the contract.

All in all, if an artist is under the agency's agency like Chen Minhao, his acting career is led by the company, and his resource company is responsible for providing it. The artist needs to obey the company's planning and arrangements, and is in a relatively weak position.

If an artist has achieved some small achievements in his career, just like Chen Minhao now, a popular TV series and an online drama have exploded, and now he has a score of 688 in the college entrance examination, and he has also established himself as a top student. At the same time, his fans are getting more and more, and his commercial value is getting bigger and bigger.

Under such circumstances, almost all artists will inevitably have their own planning and their own "little personality" for their acting career, or more bluntly, if they want to earn more money, then 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, it shows that the company attaches great importance to the artist and is willing to assign 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 it may be 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 it is basically the pursuit of all artists in the middle and late stages.

Of course, the company will still provide artists with corresponding film and television resources, but the artist has the right to choose whether to accept it or not. At the same time, the artist himself can more flexibly participate in commercial performances and performing arts activities he has won. The division with the company is more flexible, and there are many such studios in the industry.

Independent studios with artists as the core, such as some big flower studios. Their studio is actually a small acting agency. Because in addition to these big flowers, 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 Hui smiled and said, "How can this be considered a studio? Chen Minhao is still a contracted artist of the company, and I am also a contracted manager of the company."

Zhang Jianzhang silently smoked a cigarette, thinking: It is because of you that I am worried. He didn't speak, because Kang Hui took out the information that some people in the publicity team had scrambled, which really caught him off guard. Zhang Jianzhang was silent for a long time, frowning and lit another cigarette.

Kang Hui decided to use her trump card. She put one hand on the materials she brought and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, isn't our company planning to go public on the NEEQ 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 softly, her threat was beyond words. Her eyes seemed to say that if Mr. Zhang disagreed, she would use the information in her hand to stir up the listing.

Zhang Jianzhang sighed, and said, "Okay, I can promise you what you said, Chen Minhao and your contract, we can also make some adjustments, four or six points, the company four, you six. I will find legal counsel next week Re-sign the contract. However, you have to promise me one thing, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential."

Chen Minhao and Kang Hui smiled at each other as soon as they came out of the office, like two old and young foxes who have stolen grapes. Although there is still a certain distance from the establishment of their own independent studio, the two of them have already exceeded their goals today.

Chen Minhao basically served as the background wall for the entire audience, but he chose to appear with Kang Hui, telling Zhang Jianzhang: If he had to choose between the company and Kang Hui, 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 yesterday: I want to thank Sister Kang for your support and help along the way." Yes, I will give you this share."

While starting the car, Kang Hui said with a smile, "No, it's good if you have the heart." After the car started, she added with a smile: "I won't be embarrassed when I should ask you for it 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 beside him in 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 them two. Those few pieces of paper may not have much effect."

Zhang Jianzhang closed his eyes and said: "I know that those few 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 few pieces of paper will show that there is a problem with the company's internal risk control.

What's more, Chen Minhao can be regarded as the company's signature mascot when it goes public. He is enjoying himself now, and I don't want to touch Chen Minhao's bad luck now. Go ahead and press me, my brain hurts a bit. "

Secretary Wang said softly: "Okay." Secretary Wang seemed to hear Zhang Jianzhang muttering in his sleep: "Just go public."
