Xia Fan counted on his fingers, he has signed a contract with Times Entertainment for five years!
And there are still 3 years left in his contract!
As for Times Entertainment, it is clear that they hope to renew their contract as soon as possible. For this reason, they did not hesitate to send S to sign a contract, which is an independent studio for the artist.
Today¡¯s entertainment industry,
It is no longer news that celebrities from all walks of life open studios. Basically, many celebrity artists who have been in the industry for many years will choose to be their own bosses and open studios after they have a certain degree of influence!
Why does everyone do this?
Because the biggest significance of a celebrity setting up his own studio is that he is also the boss and can form his own team to provide himself with a full range of services!
Who wants to be controlled by others all the time?
In the past, when artists were in a brokerage company, they relied on the brokerage company's image packaging, work promotion, and cooperation. However, most brokerage companies have many contracted artists, and it is impossible to focus all their energy on one person. If a star establishes his own If you have a studio, you can choose your own agent and form your own publicity team, and you will no longer be controlled by others!
Another very important point is tax avoidance!
?? Celebrities can avoid taxes by setting up studios and make it easier to sign contracts with other companies. This is called reasonable tax avoidance and does not violate the law. Therefore, the fundamental purpose of many celebrities setting up studios is to avoid taxes.
The studio is a sole proprietorship.
Some local governments have introduced many preferential policies for tax sources, allowing more companies to register. The reason why there are a large number of star studios in some cities, including Shanghai and Suzhou, is because the taxes in these places are more favorable. , if you set up a studio, you can pay a lot less tax!
For example, the original singer of "The Provision of Love" in his previous life is a very successful example. He was successfully promoted from artist to boss.
He is both a star and a big boss. He has signed contracts with many artists and made many of them famous. This has caused the valuation of his studio to skyrocket, from 25 million to 5 billion immediately, an increase of 200 times.
In the entertainment industry, capital is surging!
Many stars are capitalized, and the existence of studios can increase their value.
To take a step back, if there is no studio, then the situation will be completely different.
The performance contract signed by the artist and the company is actually just like the work contract signed by ordinary people with the company when working. The company helps the artist accept advertising endorsements, film and television shoots, etc. Therefore, the company will have restrictions on the artist, and what can be done. Which ones are unacceptable will be screened by the company. Artists are not allowed to take private jobs without the permission of the company.
Especially after artists have been in the industry for a long time, they will accumulate a certain amount of connections and popularity. Advertising companies and the like will also approach the artists directly instead of contacting the company first. Therefore, at this time, the artist will choose to terminate the contract with the company. If If the company is reluctant to save, then re-sign the contract!
After signing a new contract.
The company will basically make concessions, and most artists will have their own work choices, so they have begun to have their own choices when it comes to filming and investing in advertising
¡°Finally we¡¯ve come this far.¡±
Xia Fan sighed, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes slightly.
¡°Because the movie was a big hit, and he was both the director and screenwriter, and also played the male lead, this made his importance in the eyes of Times Entertainment infinitely higher.
¡°After all, this company¡¯s main business is film and television, with music as a side business.¡±
Xia Fan's manager Stefanie Lai said calmly on the sidelines: "No matter how great your achievements are in music, no matter how good your song sales are, or how good your concert box office is, in the eyes of Times Entertainment, it can't compare to a movie with a box office explosion. !¡±
"Because of "Charlotte Troubles", Times Entertainment took out the S lottery three years in advance and wanted to keep you."
This is the charm of movies!
In the ecological chain of the entertainment industry, the film industry will always stand at the top of the pyramid.
For a movie with a huge reputation, the audience is willing to spend 40 to 50 yuan to buy a movie ticket and spend two hours in the theater;
But what about timbre digital albums? It may only cost 20 yuan, and you can listen to it forever, but generally only the most die-hard fans will spend this money to buy it. Although there are also casual fans who buy albums, this proportion is very small.
The same goes for concerts. Only a small number of kings and queens can have tens of thousands of viewers, but the return rate is far less than the box office of blockbuster movies.
What¡¯s more, the movies that Times Entertainment has invested in in recent years have not been very profitable.??Ideal, and Xia Fan's movie made the company unexpectedly make a fortune.
Originally, Times Entertainment¡¯s expectations for Xia Fan¡¯s movie were not that high, but they didn¡¯t know that the box office results were so good that the company executives almost knelt down and called him ¡°Dad.¡±
In fact, at the beginning, Xia Fan could have gone out to attract investment like Chen Shicheng, but after all, he still remembered that this company had been kind to him and made major concessions on the copyright of the song, so he gave him a favor.
The so -called fat water does not flow outsiders!
"But this time the contract is different from the past. You have three years left in time. After signing the S contract, the contract time will be recalculated and it will be a new 8 years!"
Stefanie Li looked at Xia Fan, whose expression was uncertain, and said slowly.
"Eight years is too long!"
Xia Fan shook his head decisively.
Although in theory, you have a lot of freedom after setting up a studio, and you can even sign some new people, you are still under the name of the company. If you have a conflict with the company one day, you may not be able to escape unscathed.
There are two types of studios. The first is an artist studio that relies on the company, such as the S-sign given to Xia Fan by Times Entertainment; the other is an independent studio with artists as the core, such as Chen Shicheng.
The clever thing about this guy is that he asked Yida Group to invest in the company he founded, leaving aside his old employer Times Entertainment. In this way, he firmly controls the company's say, while Yida Group is only responsible for investment.
"In three years, I will only accept the modification of Sign S on the basis of the remaining three years of the contract." Xia Fan pondered for a while, sighed, and gave his opinion, "Otherwise, I would rather continue with Sign A!"
"I know you will say that" Stefanie Lai's expression did not mean anything. She nodded and then continued, "The company has offered to give you shares, as long as you sign this contract."
"Share shares in Times Entertainment?"
??
¡°Penguin Group¡¯s shares are about the same!¡± he joked.
Xia Fan knew that Penguin Group had quietly purchased a lot of shares in Times Entertainment in the past few years.
"You think too much¡¡"
Stefanie Li shook her head and smiled.
"Let's talk to the big boss sometime." Xia Fan finally replied.
