"What? You are not willing to sign a type A contract. You must know that this agreement will bring you more high-quality film and television resources."
Zhou Yongsheng swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief.
Last time, the company had already drawn up a contract and was just waiting for Xia Fan to sign, but it had to give up because the guy was unwilling to sell the exclusive music rights.
That time, Xia Fan wanted to sign, but unfortunately Zhou Yongsheng took the contract back.
This time, such a type A contract was presented to Xia Fan again, but he no longer wanted to sign it.
This time, that time, because people's mentality will also change randomly.
Xia Fan took the document and said with a smile: "I don't want film and television resources anymore."
In fact, the film and television scripts that the company gave him were basically domineering presidents. Such roles were rejected by Xia Fan one by one. He then thought that these film and television resources seemed to have been obtained by himself, and of course Stefanie Lai, as an agent, also played a major role.
"But it seems" Xia Fan paused and continued happily: "It seems that the more successful film and television dramas currently in my hands are not produced through the company, but are obtained by myself."
This seems to be telling netizens that almost all of the better film and television resources I have have nothing to do with Times Entertainment.
So what¡¯s the point of signing this contract or not?
Zhou Yongsheng took a deep breath to calm down his fluctuating emotions.
"Xiaoxia, are you complaining that the company has not arranged good film and television resources for you in the past period of time?"
Xia Fan glanced at Zhou Yongsheng indifferently, knowing that the other party was testing the true purpose of his refusal.
"No, absolutely not!" He said categorically, "I am too busy and my schedule is full. How can I have time to film the movies and TV series provided by the company?"
The company gave Xia Fan quite a lot of money for these dramas about domineering presidents, and the popularity on the Internet was pretty good, but basically the scripts were handed over to Stefanie Lai, who rejected them a few days later and declined.
In recent times, Xia Fan's agent didn't even bother to show Xia Fan any scripts about "The Domineering President", and basically browsed them with Stefanie Lai's eyes.
After he had a rough understanding of the depth of these scripts, he directly rejected the invitation without asking Xia Fan for his opinion.
¡°It¡¯s quite busy to be busy.¡± Zhou Yongsheng could only agree.
But he had already cursed in his heart.
"What are you busy with? You often come to the company several days a month and ask Stefanie Lai to arrange a separate office for you to surf the Internet.
Xia Fan would rather stay in the office and surf the Internet than go to remote places for business performances.
Commercial acting is a way to make money quickly, but Xia Fan only accepts very few commercial acting.
Zhou Yongsheng dares to be angry but dare not speak out. If it were any other artist, this guy would probably have cursed loudly.
"I'm mainly busy composing songs. Mr. Zhou, think about it, I write so many songs every year, and the company benefits a lot."
This is why Xia Fan dares to directly refuse certain commercial performances and stay in the company playing computer games. He has this confidence.
"Xiaoxia, you have indeed brought a lot of benefits to our company. I must"
When Zhou Yongsheng spoke, he gave Xia Fan a thumbs up, and then asked.
"But, are you unhappy in the company?"
"No, I'm very happy."
"What is the difference between the remaining 6 years of the contract and the 8-year contract?"
Xia Fan thought seriously for a while and replied: "Then I can make a plan for my future career two years in advance. Mr. Zhou, if the remaining contract years are still 6 years, I am willing to sign."
"I can't set this precedent!" Zhou Yongsheng hesitated for a while, then said, "otherwise what other A-signed artists will think, everyone should be treated equally."
Xia Fan doesn¡¯t care about the feelings of other artists.
Although we are colleagues, we are also competitors. When we meet, everyone smiles on their lips and feels jealous in their hearts.
"Forget it, I don't need the 10% commission."
Xia Fan smiled slightly, then put his hand on the contract document and slowly handed it to the other party.
"Is Xiaoxia also planning to change jobs from the company after the eight-year contract is over?" Zhou Yongsheng couldn't hold it in any longer and finally asked this question.
After all, the company¡¯s recent performance has been poor, and Xia Fan is a rare cash cow.
¡°If ¡®job hopping¡¯ means starting from one?Company to another company, I think not. Xia Fan smiled and said calmly, "It's not a bad idea to stay in Times Entertainment." "
Zhou Yongsheng understood. The other party wanted to set up his own company by then.
After Xia Fan said goodbye and left, Zhou Yongsheng leaned on his chair tiredly, stroking his eyebrows from time to time.
He regretted it. If he hadn't gotten the contract back more than half a year ago, Xia Fan would have signed the contract long ago. Now the situation has reversed in vain, and he has nothing to do.
At this time, Zhou Yongsheng¡¯s mobile phone placed on the table showed that he had received a WeChat message.
The person who came was none other than Ma Xiaodong, the president of Penguin Music.
"Lao Zhou, how was your discussion?"
Zhou Yongsheng picked up his cell phone and replied with a few words: "That guy has requirements for a certain number of years, and he doesn't want to be tied up for too long. The company treats him well, and he still cares about those few years"
He was a little angry and complaining.
If Xia Fan is willing to sign this contract, he will work hard and rationally, increase the share appropriately, and sell the exclusive copyright for more years to Penguin Music in one go. This is Zhou Yongsheng's next plan.
"Old Zhou, that plan can only be postponed later."
"Lao Ma, are you so anxious because you are worried that China Music will raise the price?"
"Yes, the other party is wealthy and has a state-owned enterprise background. If WeChat and Penguin Music were not bound and could log in with one click, which increased user activity, it would be difficult for us to compete with them."
Ma Xiaodong has never thought about killing Huaxia Music, and certainly does not have the courage, but holding on to the current market share of nearly 46% is his bottom line.
Today¡¯s online music market, Penguin Music accounts for 46%, Huaxia Music accounts for 42%, and the remaining scattered music platforms account for the remaining 12%.
The situation of two divided world has become more and more obvious, but under the pressure of national anti-monopoly provisions, neither China Music nor Penguin Music can blatantly attack other small platforms.
As a result, these two giants can only bite each other.
"Furthermore, Zhang Xuehan also rejected my offer. You must know that my offer was higher than that of China Music."
"Zhang Xuehan?"
Zhou Yongsheng is familiar with this person. Several of this female singer¡¯s hit songs were all written by Xia Fan.
In the past year, her popularity has been extremely high, and she has almost completed her transformation from "little queen" to "big queen".
"Could it be that those two people advanced and retreated together?"
