"Xia Fan, your one-year contract with Penguin Music is about to expire. Are you ready to renew it?"
Chen Shiying is cracking melon seeds and sitting with her slender legs crossed.
At this moment, the latest episode of "Chinese Restaurant" is being played on TV.
"I'mstill considering it."
Xia Fan glanced at the TV series a few times casually.
The editing level of the program team is really good. The plot scenes presented on TV are not in chronological order, but are connected together by scattered fragments.
But through the editor¡¯s clever work, these clips connected together do not have any sense of dissonance, and are smoother in terms of perception.
"According to the agreement, the other party has a one-year priority to renew the contract, as long as the price increases by 20% from the original amount." He continued slowly.
Chen Shiying blinked her eyes and asked, "But from the looks of it, you don't really want to renew your contract?"
"Because this time when we negotiated contract renewal with Times Entertainment, there was their presence"
Xia Fan's face became a little serious.
¡°According to the original idea there, Times Entertainment and Penguin Music jointly invested in the new company I established, and then signed a gambling agreement.
Although this pie looks very tempting, as long as I meet the performance requirements, I can make billions of wealth in a short time, but if I fail, I may have to work for them for the rest of my life. "
"As a result, my music copyright will be almost monopolized by Penguin, and in terms of film and television dramas, I have to make films for Times Entertainment, and I have to follow their arrangements to participate in variety shows and commercial performances. Thinking about such a day, I feel terrible and dark. !¡±
¡°Similar things have not happened before. There have been A-list stars who went crazy to make bad movies to pay off their debts after their gambling agreement with the company failed.
Chen Shiying frowned slightly and turned her attention away from the TV.
Frankly speaking, Mango TV still gives these two first-line artists face. After they undermined Mango Channel's hype by making insinuations, they actually deleted the scenes of the interaction between "Huang Ama", "Gege" and "Husband-in-law".
As for other content, there are almost no changes. The program team also hyped up Xia Fan and Wang Yuan's cooking skills.
"Actually I have a general understanding of this gambling agreement. With your ability, the possibility of winning is not small, but I don't think you need to take this risk, even if the reward is huge."
"And" She pondered for a while, then continued, "One of the reasons why Times Entertainment is unwilling to make concessions is that this company is fundamentally different from when you originally signed the contract."
After hearing this, Xia Fan nodded.
Since Penguin Group invested heavily in Times Entertainment three years ago, it also means that this Internet giant has officially entered the entertainment industry on a large scale.
You don¡¯t need to guess to know that there must be their shadow behind this gambling agreement.
Even though Xia Fan is a top first-line artist, he is a little helpless when facing such huge capital, so he tries to maintain a low-key posture during negotiations and does not want to break his face.
"Fortunately, my private life is quite simple, otherwise the other party would definitely find a way to come up with a lot of black spots and make me doomed, at least in the entertainment industry."
He sighed softly, feeling helpless.
In recent years, capital has penetrated more and more into the entertainment industry, almost to the point of doing whatever it wants.
Every year, many traffic stars who have never heard of them suddenly become famous, and then suddenly disappear from the public a few years later, disappearing like shooting stars.
But during this period, they gained a specific group of fans and harvested a batch of leeks.
"Actually" Chen Shiying suddenly moved her body to Xia Fan's side and whispered: "Have you noticed that in recent years, artists in the entertainment industry, whether they are newcomers or experienced ones, have often been exposed to various scandals."
¡°It happened before, but definitely not as frequent as now!¡±
??
"Indeed, there is no problem. It is your own fault!" Chen Shiying nodded and continued, "But the entertainment industry is a big dyeing vat, and there are too few people who can get out of the mud without being dyed. You should also have this in mind. Count them."
"I understand" Xia Fan was silent for a while and nodded.
Her subtext is that the entertainment industry is still the same as before, a complicated vanity fair, and some people are trying to keep themselves clean.Well, there are people who are complicit.
But in the past, there were not many examples of such negative news exposure, and the impact was very small.
"In the past, whether it was a male star or a female star, after a scandal was exposed, as long as they didn't exaggerate too much, the storm would pass in a few days. They should continue acting when they should act, and continue singing when they should sing, and they would not be banned."
??
With the popularity of the Internet and the continuous spread of communication, many artists will be infinitely amplified as soon as they have any stains, and then, with the help of public opinion, they will face a soft ban!
The so-called "soft ban" means that there is no aboveboard ban, but the industry has formed a unified tacit understanding, and the outside world has accepted such an unspoken rule, you are blocked.
You have no film contracts and no performances.
"Actually, I've been on the edge of the cliff in the past few years. You know, sometimes my temper is a bit bad" Chen Shiying said quietly, knowing that she had also gotten into a lot of trouble in the past few years.
As for Xia Fan, he may have offended some capital inadvertently, and he may not have noticed it.
Chen Shiying pointed to the "Chinese Restaurant" scene on TV. The character who appeared was none other than the popular youngster, the underage Wang Yuan.
"Don't look at how popular he is now. If he doesn't obey or is worthless, the capital behind him will make him lose his temper in a matter of minutes."
"So at that time, the program team asked me to cooperate with him in setting up characters, such as being a good boy or having superb cooking skills. I cooperated with him. Because there was no conflict between us."
¡°He¡¯s just a kid, why should I be jealous of him?¡±
This girl has a very weird personality, sometimes sharp-edged and sometimes very smooth.
This is also the reason why she has been able to reach this point in the entertainment industry.
"correct¡¡"
Chen Shiying suddenly took Xia Fan's arm, as if she had thought of something: "Do you remember Meng Xue?"
Xia Fan thought for a while and replied: "Remember, what's wrong?"
