The next day, Xia Fan announced on the Weibo of "Shifan Studio": He will star in the movie "China Partner" invested by Times Entertainment. This will also be the last cooperation between himself and the company.
"After that, will you and Times Entertainment have nothing to do with each other?"
Xia Fan replied: "Through friendly negotiation, after completing the cooperation on this film, the work contract between us will be officially terminated. By then, I will be a completely free person in the entertainment industry."
"No matter from the beginning to the end, we always have a happy cooperation!"
At the same time, the official Weibo of Times Entertainment also confirmed the news: Thank you for meeting us after seven years, and wish you success in your future work and a bright future.
As Xia Fan requested before, both sides spoke very politely and decently in front of the public.
But the bitterness of it may only be known to the person involved, Zhou Yongsheng. He pinched his nose, swallowed bitterly, agreed to Xia Fan's conditions, and terminated the contract one year in advance.
"This is the pattern!"
"This is called professionalism!"
"This is a role model!"
"I hope that in the future in the entertainment industry, there will be less conflicts between artists and companies, and that everyone can get together and break up peacefully!"
"I've seen too many conflicts between artists and companies, and I haven't been able to adapt to the announcement between Xia Fan and Times Entertainment for a while. The world is changing so fast!"
After Xia Fan and Times Entertainment made their respective announcements, many netizens followed up and expressed their opinions.
Most people expressed heartfelt praise for this model of breakup. Even some official media outlets said that the entertainment industry should be like this, with less fighting and more dignity.
Soon there was a hot search that topped the list: Breaking up should be dignified!
Breaking up can refer to a relationship between a couple, but in some contexts, it can also refer to a relationship between an employee and the company.
Including artists and entertainment companies, office workers and workplaces, if you think in a broad sense, this relationship can be described.
The quarrel between employees and the company is not only limited to the entertainment industry, but also very common among amateurs. Therefore, the decent breakup between Xia Fan and Times Entertainment was beyond the expectations of many people.
After all, everyone can vaguely see that in recent years, the contradiction between Xia Fan and Times Entertainment has been visible to the naked eye.
Netizens, media, and marketing accounts were all looking forward to a shocking fight, but the result was this ending.
¡°At least this decent way of separation has won praise from many official media!¡±

Times Entertainment, General Manager¡¯s Office.
"This kid"
Zhou Yongsheng lay helplessly on the leather office chair, shaking his head and sighing.
"His methods are so powerful. Those hot searches on Weibo, and judging from the marketing account, they should all be bought by Xia Fan himself."
He realized that this was actually a series of punches.
Xia Fan had just reached an agreement with Zhou Yongsheng, and then the official announcement was made non-stop, forcing him to cooperate bravely.
After all, the termination agreement between Xia Fan and the company has been signed and is written in black and white. If you don't cooperate, the situation will only become more passive.
"Yes, Mr. Zhou. Xia Fan is not very old at this time, only over 26 years old, and his methods are so sophisticated that he has already thought of back tricks."
The person who replied was Ma Xiaodong, the boss of Penguin Music. He also has another identity, that is, a board member of Times Entertainment.
Xia Fan¡¯s departure from Times Entertainment also means that Penguin Music no longer has any advantage in fighting for the copyright of his songs.
It¡¯s not just that, because Xia Fan holds the music copyright not only for himself, but also for many popular actresses, music queens, popular celebrities, popular Internet celebrities, and even veteran singers.
Many of the representative works of these people were written by Xia Fan, and the copyrights of the songs are all represented by "Shifan Studio".
Nowadays, more and more imaginations have shown that the songs represented by Shifan Studio have formed a complete set of "golden song ecological chain".
Whoever owns its copyright will have a huge impact on the current structure of major music broadcast platforms.
What¡¯s even more frightening is that golden songs are still being produced, and now that it is operated for free on all platforms, its listening users continue to accumulate like a snowball.
A terrifying behemoth is taking shape.
Whether it is Penguin Music, Huaxia Music, Cloud Music, or even other music platforms, they all realize that this is a music platform that they cannot control alone.monster!
Ma Xiaodong knows very well that Shifan Studio has only been established for half a year, and its songs have always been free to play, with an astonishing number of hits on major music platforms.
There are also a large number of users who are willing to pay to download.
He can imagine the value here.
"Lao Zhou, I regret it. Half a year ago, I should have gritted my teeth and bought Xia Fan's exclusive music copyright for 100 million a year." Ma Xiaodong's tone was filled with regret.
At that time, he and China Music had a discussion and worked together to lower the price.
With the two major capitals colluding together, he thought they could form a seamless trend.
He was sure that Xia Fan would definitely compromise.
Who would have thought that people would simply release the copyright for free broadcasting on all platforms and break this situation.
"Today, if you want to package all the songs under Shifan Studio, you can't do it without spending two to three billion a year!"
Ma Xiaodong sighed.
"Mr. Ma, there is something I don't know whether I should say"
"If you have anything to say, just say it. We have been friends for many years." Ma Xiaodong, who originally had his legs crossed, immediately sat up straight.
"I have heard some news through my own connections. Maybe Xia Fan will no longer be able to sell the copyright to any music platform."
Zhou Yongsheng said seriously.
"What did you say?"
"First of all, the national level is also cracking down on monopolistic behavior, and Xia Fan is more likely to watch what is happening and follow the policies. Another point is that after this scene, he himself also knows that there is no monopoly, and this kind of all-platform free broadcast, paid The downloading method is more in line with his own interests and is conducive to the spread of his songs."
"I always feel that the year before last, when he agreed to sell the copyright of Penguin Music for one year, he was completely testing the waters. He wanted to try two methods at the same time, which one would be more beneficial to him."
Ma Xiaodong came back to his senses from his daze.
"This guy is so resourceful and scheming. It seems like we are all being screwed around by him!"
"Hey, what is this?"
Zhou Yongsheng suddenly saw that Xia Fan had released a new song, which was not only trending on Weibo but was also promoted on major music platforms.
The song is called "Decent", and the chorus is "Breaking up should be decent".
He still remembered that the hotly searched word not long ago was exactly this sentence, and it also referred to the breakup of Xia Fan and Times Entertainment.
