Global Movie Emperor

On the thirteenth floor, Lu Ze took a look and found that the sign originally hanging on Hu Zhiguang's office had been taken down, and the "General Manager's Office" sign was now hanging on the door of Li Shanjun's office, and the style was the same as Hu Zhiguang's sign. There is a big difference.

The secretary was sitting at the door of the general manager's office. He had followed Li Shanjun to work for Sega. Hu Zhiguang's secretary had already resigned.

The secretary heard the footsteps and turned around to see it was Lu Ze. He quickly put the tea cup on the table, stood up and said hello to Lu Ze with a professional smile.

"Is Mr. Li in there? I want to talk to him about something."

"Okay, Brother Lu, please wait a moment. I'm going to ask Mr. Li... Please come in. Brother Lu, what would you like to drink?"

The secretary pushed open the office door. After about twenty seconds, he opened the door wide, waved his hand inside, and asked Lu Ze what he wanted to drink.

"No need for anything. I just finished drinking downstairs. I'm not thirsty."

After entering the room, the secretary exited and closed the door. Lu Ze walked around the screen and saw Li Shanjun sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard. Li Shanjun also raised his head, and the two looked at each other.

Li Shanjun is less than forty years old, but his hair is indeed getting thinner. Now he is almost bald. He has an ordinary face, about 1.75 meters tall, and wears rimless narrow-rimmed glasses. The temperament looks a bit serious, with a little bit of oppressiveness.

"You're back? Come sit here. Are you tired these days? You look a little darker and a little thinner than before. What do you want to see me for?"

Li Shanjun waved his hand and asked Lu Ze to come over and sit down. Lu Ze was not polite, pulled up the chair opposite the desk and sat down. He crossed his hands on the desk and thought about it. Li Shanjun didn't know about the contract. That's absolutely impossible.

Now that Lu Ze has reached this position, the company must attach great importance to his contract. Li Shanjun is the only one who can decide the details of his contract.

"That's right, Mr. Li, I want to talk to you about my contract. I know that the company values ​​me very much, and I also regard the company as family, but this contract... I cannot accept it."

"You're talking about the time limit, right? I knew you would talk to me about this. Fifteen years...is really not a short time. To be honest, Lu Ze, I set this time limit. , you also saw the word "draft" written on the first page of the document, right? I think the longer you can stay at Sega, the better, so I set this number of years, but the draft also means that everything can be done Are you talking about it?"

Lu Ze didn't understand what Li Shanjun meant. If anyone said that Li Shanjun was a fool, Lu Ze would be the first to disagree. However, Li Shanjun's current operation seemed a bit confusing to Lu Ze.

"Mr. Li, I don't quite understand what you mean. If I have shown that I want to change jobs before, I can understand it if you take out this contract, but I have no intention of changing jobs. I know that Sega is the most suitable person." Mine, there’s no need to say that you’re holding me back for fifteen years, right?”

Lu Ze said this a bit hastily. He was really unhappy today. After Hu Zhiguang left, he had no intention of changing jobs. He just wanted to stay in Qian Sega. He originally wanted to see how sincere Li Shanjun was, but he didn't expect that he would be disappointed. He was slapped in the face, who else could not be angry?

Li Shanjun was angry because of Lu Ze's tone. In fact, Lu Ze's emotions were within his expectation and did not surprise him. Li Shanjun would have been surprised if Lu Ze took it and signed it.

"Lu Ze, I know that fifteen years is indeed a long time for you, but this is also based on reality. Although your situation is a bit special and you grow too fast, you are only twenty-nine years old. I will use normal industry conditions to give you a contract, and I hope you can understand this."

"You are not an outsider. For artists, especially those with a long acting career, the first contract is almost the same, ten to fifteen years. The draft is basically fifteen years, and the rest needs to be negotiated. The second contract It is basically ten years, and the rest needs to be negotiated, but what about the three years left on your contract? If you sign for another ten years, it will be thirteen years. Then I will readjust the contract and the remaining three years will be void. After fifteen years, the rest will be Let’s talk about it slowly next time. Isn’t this strange? Otherwise, if we negotiate on renewal, the second contract will give you a normal ten years. After negotiation, plus the current three years, we will make up a full ten years, which will be the same as fifteen years. Is there much difference next time?"

Li Shanjun did not lie. The early artists did not mention it because it was too long ago. Now, since they have entered the era of fast food stars, it is indeed possible for those young talents to sign five-year or even three-year contracts. Because after a few years, he may not be popular anymore.

But more artists sign long-term contracts of more than ten years, because no one knows what will happen in the future during this ten-year process. Maybe some artist who has been in the past will become a loser for some unknown reason. It's possible that it suddenly became popular again.

Therefore, in order to ensure that Chollima will not be lost from their hands, economic companies will give priority to signing long-term contracts. Even if they raise a has-been artist, they will not invest much resources and will not spend much money, just treat it like a pet and keep it as long as they want. Well, only those artists who really can’t see the future will be signed by the company to short-term contracts.

But all the artists who take the powerful route have long-term contracts, and none of them have short-term contracts. If you have the ability, you will definitely get ahead. This sentence is not suitable for the entertainment industry, but the chance of the artist with the ability to get ahead is definitely higher than that of the artist without the ability. Artists who have a higher chance of success have a higher chance of success. In order to prevent themselves from regretting their youth, no company will let such an artist go.

Only a fool would sign a short-term contract with an artist like Lu Ze who is extremely talented, famous, and even has a certain box office appeal.

Thinking about it this way, the fifteen-year draft is not surprising. Lu Ze can understand it. He has even heard of artists who have signed contracts for thirty-five years, either in ancient times or in recent years, and fifteen years Artists can be found everywhere.

But there is a big loophole, or rather a detail, that was deliberately bypassed by Li Shanjun. It was mentioned in the language he just spoke. If Lu Ze hadn't been smart, maybe Li Shanjun would have fooled him. .

This loophole is what he just said, "Although your situation is special, you grow too fast."

You have to admit that people's worth is different. The gap between Lu Ze and a twenty-nine-year-old artist is more than two hundred miles. You can't use the contract of an ordinary artist at the age of twenty-nine to transfer it to Lu Ze. Ze Yong, it is precisely because of Lu Ze's worth that there is this fundamental gap.

No company would be stupid to restrict an actor by the number of years of the contract, especially a well-known actor like Lu Ze. If you want such an actor to stay in the company for a long time, you must show real performance. Numerous resources and a considerate behind-the-scenes team give such artists a feeling of returning home. This is the way to retain big names.

Do big names sign long-term contracts? It must have been signed, but it is definitely not that long. Basically ten years. After the negotiation, it will only be five years upwards, ten years downwards, and the contract will be renewed frequently.

So now Lu Ze has had some second thoughts. Signing a fifteen-year long-term contract was definitely not Li Shanjun's purpose. He had other ideas, so he used this long-term contract to block Lu Ze.

Moreover, he was sure that Lu Ze did not want to leave Qian Sega. If he left Qian Sega, Lu Ze would no longer be the first brother in any company he joined. Instead, he would be suppressed by the first brothers of other companies. He would definitely not be as good as he was in Qian Sega. , he dared to do this.

"Mr. Li, I didn't want to say this at first, because I also thought it might be a bit inflated, but you also said that I am considered a special situation, right? Now I have a golden actor , two Golden Rooster Best Actors, which 29-year-old artist can compare with me? Since the establishment of the award, there are a total of nine people who have won the Best Actor before the age of thirty, and only two people have won the two Best Actors. Of the three, none, but what about me? I may be the Golden Horse Best Actor by the end of this year, and that means I have four Best Actors. I think I shouldn’t compare myself with ordinary 29-year-old artists, right?”

Lu Ze's words sounded exaggerated, and it also depends on the situation. Now when negotiating a contract, he must show off his own advantages. He must show off his muscles to compare with me, Lu Ze? Do you deserve it?

Li Shanjun frowned, leaned back on the chair, let out a long sigh, stretched out his right hand to pinch the corners of his eyes, and patted the armrest for the last time. Lu Ze suddenly had an intuition. Come on, Li Shanjun was finally getting to the point.

"Sigh... You're right. I didn't consider this matter carefully. It's true that we shouldn't just look at age and not grades. It's my fault, but I haven't been in this industry for a long time. , I made some mistakes, I hope you can understand, Lu Ze, after all, I am not a professional in the entertainment industry, right?"

"I can understand Mr. Li. In fact, it won't be a big deal if you talk about it. Maybe my language is a bit too extreme. Please don't blame me."

"Hey~ little question, you are our big brother for Sega, you have made great contributions to Sega, and I am angry because of such a trivial matter? Then I am sorry for my position, and if we don't negotiate contracts, how can we do it? contract? Right? Actually... I have also thought about it and considered two ways for you. Let's look at it this way, Lu Ze, you are not very interested in signing a long-term contract, then... Are you interested in becoming a boss?"
