Xia Fan doesn¡¯t care about the doubts from the outside world at all. Just like when he was filming "33 Days of Love", some people would secretly ridicule him for taking on such a low-budget film as a popular little king.
If he pays attention to these sounds, he will never get a good night's sleep.
"Be dark, the darker you are, the more excited I will be!"
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
A sudden knock on the door brought Xia Fan back from his thoughts.
He shouted toward the door: "Please come in!"
A staff member walked in cautiously and said to Xia Fan: "Teacher, Mr. Zhou is looking for you."
"Zhou Yongsheng?"
Xia Fan suddenly realized that the only "Mr. Zhou" in the company was the general manager.
"I understand, it will be here soon"
A few minutes later, Xia Fan came to Zhou Yongsheng's office again, guided by the female secretary.
"Compared with the last time we met, Zhou Yongsheng's face seemed a little bad, and his brows were a little more haggard and anxious.
"Mr. Zhou, please look for me."
Xia Fan pretended not to see the other person¡¯s expression.
"Xiao Xia, you sit down first." Zhou Yongsheng put out the cigarette butt with one hand and gestured with the other hand.
The female secretary with delicate appearance and slim figure immediately served two cups of hot tea.
"Is this guy causing trouble for me again?"
Xia Fan thought to himself, then picked up the tea, carefully blew a few breaths, and took a slow sip.
Competition in the entertainment industry is becoming increasingly fierce. Times Entertainment, as a long-established entertainment company, has begun to have a difficult time.
??Especially the several films released this year invested by Times Entertainment, all of which were smashed at the box office.
¡°I don¡¯t even know what movies young people like to watch nowadays!¡±
This is what the director of the company complained about in front of Zhou Yongsheng.
"Xiaoxia, your contract with the company is about two years old." Zhou Yongsheng said with a smile.
"Well, it's been more than two years." Xia Fan replied frankly.
Zhou Yongsheng nodded and continued: "Last time, the main reason was that the contract period you fulfilled was too short. Unless there are special circumstances, according to the company's regulations, we cannot sign you A."
The so-called "special situation" is that Xia Fan agreed to Penguin Music's exclusive buyout request, thus bringing considerable revenue to the company.
"But now you have met the conditions for visa A."
Zhou Yongsheng put on a smiling face, and then slowly took out a new contract from the drawer.
Xia Fan lowered his head slightly, glanced at the contract cover, and was very sure that this contract should be the same contract that Zhou Yongsheng gave him more than half a year ago.
Good guy, this A-signed contract has been in his drawer for almost a year.
Isn¡¯t he afraid of mold?
"Take a look, this is a type A contract. Only the company's top artists can sign it." Zhou Yongsheng smiled slightly and tapped the document with his finger.
"Isn't there still an S visa? The company will support its artists to set up personal studios."
Xia Fan picked up the contract document and replied while flipping through it.
"There is indeed an S visa, which belongs to the category of personal studio, but there is a prerequisite for this. Any artist must stay in the company for 10 years."
10 years means that Xia Fan will have to stay at least 8 years before he can set up a personal studio.
Of course, he also has a certified account of "Xiafan Studio" on Weibo, but this is a false accusation. It is completely under the management of Times Entertainment and is not a real studio.
"Ten years, that's a long time, it's not something I should care about." Xia Fan replied cheerfully, and then changed the subject, "Mr. Zhou, are there any additional conditions for signing a contract with me this time?"
Zhou Yongsheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head quickly and replied: "No, there are no additional conditions this time. Xiaoxia, you can sign now if you want!"
At this moment, Xia Fan felt a little displeased in his heart. You changed your mind at the last moment and took back the contract signed by A. Now, only half a year later, you eagerly sent the contract over again.
"Should I sign it?"
He asked himself in his mind.
"Xiaoxia, recently, you have a song "The Way You Were" that set a new sales record, and the movie "Love Is Not Blind" also won the box office championship. With such good results, the company has no excuse. I won¡¯t give you a sign.¡±
It is natural to say thisLinked to ??Fan's recent performance, this contract upgrade seems much more reasonable.
"Oh, thank you very much for the company's appreciation."
Xia Fan replied while reading the contract.
Compared with the Type B contract he currently holds, the Type A contract is not significantly different in most places, but adjustments have been made in some key places.
Divided into 37 cents, Xia Fan can get 70% of it. Such conditions should be what many artists dream of.
He has no objection to the division of the agreement. According to rumors, A-type contract artists can get 70%. Now after seeing it with his own eyes, Xia was in a trance and felt unbelievable.
The Class A contract that I once looked up to is now within reach.
When it comes to songs, the company¡¯s concessions are even greater.
From now on, for all songs where Xia Fan writes the lyrics and music, and Times Entertainment is responsible for the arrangement, the latter only accounts for 20% of the copyright, which means that Xia Fan will exclusively own 80% of the lyrics and music copyright.
"Actually, I can definitely find someone to arrange the music myself. That is, I can spend a little money and get 100% of the copyright of the song myself."
Suddenly, Xia Fan had such an idea in his mind, and even thought about poaching Lin Xiaoke.
What the hell?
¡°Have you been in contact with Chen Shicheng too much, and have you contracted the habit of always thinking about and poaching your old club?
"This condition is acceptable. After all, the original arrangement copyright still accounts for 30%. At least there is progress, right?"
The reason why Xia Fan is willing to share a small part of the copyright of the song with the company is because he hopes that Times Entertainment can arrange some good scenes for himself.
Now that I think about it, it¡¯s a bit worth it!
It seems that all the popular film and television dramas were tuned by Xia Fan himself with his keen eye. From this point of view, why do we need the company¡¯s resources?
What¡¯s more, ¡°33 Days of Love¡±, which has just achieved a box office miracle, is a film produced by our own company.
Suddenly, Xia Fan's pupils shrank slightly because he saw another key point of this contract: the time limit.
¡°I originally had less than 6 years left on my contract, but once I signed a Type A contract, the remaining years of the contract were automatically converted to the maximum of 8 years, which also meant that I had spent the first two years in vain.¡±
Zhou Yongsheng also realized that Xia Fan was strange and asked, "Xiao Xia, do you have any other questions?"
¡°An eight-year contract is too long and I refuse.¡±
The Class A contract that Xia Fan longed for was decisively rejected by him this time.
