"Sister Xuehan, have you even given up on criticizing?"
Xia Fan quickly discovered the key point and asked.
Because in the entertainment industry, behind the popular first-line artists, there will be a huge number of navy troops.
These trolls have only one job, which is to "call like crazy" for the artists they serve.
"give up!"
Zhang Xuehan raised her mouth stubbornly, "With such a terrible new album, I'm too lazy to control the navy."
Xia Fan patted her forehead lightly and said to herself: This is her personality.
¡°I have a contract with Tianmao, and if they don¡¯t give me a new album, I will be compensated, so they just made it in such a crude way to perfunctory me!¡±
Zhang Xuehan said crying, feeling extremely bad.
What about the Queen of Heaven?
It is said that people have to bow their heads under the roof. The "diva" in the eyes of fans may be just a slightly valuable chess piece in the eyes of entertainment companies, but they can also be manipulated at will by the companies.
Xia Fan's heart moved slightly, but he thought of another situation.
"Sister Xuehan, have you made up your mind not to renew your contract with Tianmao Entertainment?"
"Yes! I definitely won't renew my contract, that's why they treated me so perfunctorily on the new album."
Zhang Xuehan gritted her teeth, her dissatisfaction with her old club had obviously reached its limit.
"My popularity is there, no matter whether their album is good or bad, they are guaranteed to make money. They deliberately made the new album unpleasant to consume my popularity!"
??
"Obviously the songs I wrote for you cannot be included in the new album. If you made the album at your own expense, it might cost 5 million per album. It's not worth it even if you think about it."
After pondering for a while, he also gave his own opinion.
"It's not just that! There is an MV, post-production, and various team expenses. After 10 songs, the cost may be around 8 million."
However, the little diva¡¯s personality is arrogant. Zhang Xuehan added firmly: ¡°But in my lifetime, I must release an album that satisfies me at my own expense.¡±
"Most definitely."
Xia Fan comforted him. He could understand that this girl had just reached the peak of her personal career and suddenly released an album with poor quality and poor reputation. This negative impact was not small.
"Xia Fan, I still have two years on my contract with the company. If I want to spend more than 20 million on a buyout, I'd better keep going."
After the "new album" controversy, Zhang Xuehan finally thought about buying out the contract.
It turns out that she was just trying to scare her old employer with her quick talk.
¡°After all, these tens of millions of dollars were earned through hard work, and I didn¡¯t want to give them to Tianmao Entertainment in vain.
"I think it's quite a difficult choice." Xia Fan replied with a wry smile, "But if there are other companies willing to bear the liquidated damages, they can also be considered."
"No! Absolutely impossible!"
Zhang Xuehan's tone was extremely firm, "This is not like leaving a wolf's den and entering another. If other companies help you pay liquidated damages, it is equivalent to asking me to sign a big favor to the other party!"
This is not like those stars. After paying liquidated damages and leaving the original team, they must find a next team to take over, otherwise they will not be able to play the game.
Artists are obviously not subject to this restriction. After leaving the company, they can work alone!
"Sister Xuehan, are you planning to set up your own studio?"
Xia Fan quickly guessed the other party¡¯s intention.
¡°I have this idea, but I don¡¯t know whether to do it now or wait for another two years.¡±
With Zhang Xuehan¡¯s current popularity, it is no problem to set up an independent studio.
But the question is whether she should set up a studio immediately after paying the buyout and leaving the company, or wait another two years and exhaust the contract before setting up a studio.
The competition in the entertainment industry is too fierce. If you allow Tianmao Entertainment to consume another two years of popularity, it will be difficult to predict the future variables.
¡°Do you still have any album requirements between you and Tianmao Entertainment?¡± Xia Fan then asked.
"Yes, it's not just an album issue, but also a commercial performance issue. In the next two years, the company will definitely arrange a lot of commercial performances for me. According to the contract, commercial performances cannot exceed 2 shows a month, so the company will arrange 2 commercial performances for me every month. Field, full workload.¡±
There are many contradictions, and the company is determined to squeeze everyone out.Only then did Zhang Xuehan really think about buying out the contract with her own money.
Thinking about her alcoholic father, and thinking about how she was targeted by the company.
Inexplicably, Xia Fan felt a little distressed, but he concealed this emotion very well and did not reveal it at all.
"My suggestion is that you endure it while raising money. Every day less means less buyout money. Two years is a long time, so just count it as a day if you can endure it." After careful consideration, Xia Fan gave his own advice.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhang Xuehan hesitated for a moment and then replied decisively.
"There's one more thing forget it!" She suddenly changed the subject, "I wish your new drama a hit in the ratings."
"In the Name of the People" has not yet started filming, but it has already become popular because of the role dispute between Xia Fan and Lu Kun.
After hanging up the phone, Xia Fan was in a daze for a while.
"She seemed to have something to tell herself, but she suddenly changed her mind. Could it be something related to her family?"
He picked up the script and read it for a while, but at this time Xia Fan was a little upset and couldn't calm down.
"In a few days, I have to report to the crew, and then there is also the movie version of "Yanjing Love Story," so there are a lot of things to do!"
Xia Fan scratched his hair and muttered to himself.
Hou Liangping, I¡¯m here!
He was determined to create a different Hou Liangping from the past.
Full of a sense of justice, but not so serious.
¡¡
At the same time, the general manager¡¯s office of Tianmao Entertainment.
Tang Yizheng was holding a cigarette in his mouth, with his hands in his pockets, overlooking the entire Magic City area from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
At this moment, he felt very energetic, and a long-haired woman was standing behind Tang Yi.
Zhang Xuehan¡¯s new album sold well, and the company made a lot of money; all the songs in the new album hit the streets, which also consumed Zhang Xuehan¡¯s popularity.
It¡¯s simply killing two birds with one stone!
"Hey, Xia Fan wrote songs for Zhang Xuehan and helped her gain popularity, which actually helped her album sales. Next, if Zhang Xuehan has to pay the buyout, we can make another profit."
Not long ago, Zhang Xuehan successively refused the exclusive copyright rights of Penguin and China Music, and Tang Yi suffered a heavy loss. However, war never tires of deceit, and this time Tang Yi moved back a bit.
"Mr. Tang, you will definitely like this photo very much!"
The long-haired woman standing behind Tang Yi is Zhang Xuehan's nominal "good sister", Fan Xiaoli.
After Tang Yi took the photo, he glanced at it casually and gave Fan Xiaoli a thumbs up.
"Sure enough, good sisters know good sisters. When you suggested that I sign Chen Dongliang, you were too quick!"
