Bright Star Road [Entertainment]

Chapter 208 Secret discussion.cooperate.new method.

It is no secret in the entertainment industry that APEX is actively looking for a new agency, and it is no wonder that Chen Wenxin and Teng Jingli will take revenge on APEX.However, according to Li Wei's understanding, if you want to break up with Smart & Associates, then the best way is to find the top two brokerage firms, Gold Medal or Zhenghua.No matter how bad it is, you can also find Jingcai, a brokerage company that has not had a good relationship with Smart and is also ranked fourth.

But Li Wei did not expect that Shi Liang and Kuang Wei, the 2TOP pair of APEX, would find themselves, or find Qilin.Although Qilin Brokerage Management Company has been established for more than two years and is ranked among the top ten in China, it is definitely at the bottom of the top ten.However, this is the situation shown, but many senior people in the circle think that Kylin Brokers is an undervalued company.Kylin Brokers is affiliated to Kylin Entertainment, which has three major business groups of film, television, and music, covering nearly [-]% of the work scope of the entertainment industry.Moreover, Kirin Entertainment not only has production capabilities, but also has distribution channels. It can be said that it is not so easy for Smart & Associates to release a movie for Kirin Entertainment.The current work of APEX is mainly focused on program hosting and TV drama shooting, followed by record recording and commercial shooting. These are not difficult for Kirin Entertainment.

In particular, Li Wei's background makes the advertisements taken by the artists under Qilin Brokerage very quality. Not only the advertisers profit, but the artists also follow the trend.Therefore, for many "old fritters" in the entertainment industry, Qilin Brokerage is actually a good place to go. After all, the company's configuration is not full, and it may not necessarily be the position of "one brother and one sister" if you go there.As far as the current Qilin manager is concerned, the "first brother" is of course Li Wei, but Li Wei is the owner of the company, so this "first brother" position is still vacant.In addition to the current Kylin manager who is definitely Wen Jing as the "first sister of the record"; the rest is Tang Xiangxiang who can barely be regarded as the "first sister of the film", but Tang Xiangxiang himself is aware of his status and has never asked for the treatment of "the first sister".

"Mr. Li, we are all friends who have known each other for many years. We APEX will come to your door today and ask you a word, and we will leave after asking. That is, if our APEX is willing to switch to your Qilin, are you willing to take it in? If you If you feel embarrassed, just pretend that we didn't say anything, and forget that we have come to look for you when we go out." Shi Liang asked.

Li Wei still feels apologetic towards APEX and towards Shi Liang.Li Wei could only smile bitterly and said, "Brother Shi, it's no big deal if I really signed the five of you. Your contract with the agency has expired, and no one can blame me for signing expired artists and repacking them in the circle." But the problem is, first, the name APEX is the trademark right of the firm, right? What will your name be in the future? Are you really planning to give up the name APEX? Second, the music copyright and portrait rights of APEX before At the office, are you planning to give up everything? The third and most important question. Brother Shi, Brother Kuang, do you still want to continue APEX? I know you feel that APEX must continue to exist, but you I also found that you are about to bear the name of the group, right?

I have seen your work saturation in the last three years. I really think that except for Shige's enthusiasm.Brother Kuang, calculate the frequency of your TV series and commercials.For the remaining three people, except for Shen Wu who is still active, Cao Jiangang is just making do. As for Lang Daoyuan, I found that he is basically on a half-vacation.I understand you. After working for a quarter of a century, it doesn't matter if you take a break in this position.But I am a businessman, Brother Shi, Brother Kuang, do you think I will sign a combination that is unwilling to work and requires me to bear great risks? ——Okay, what I said just now was about business, I have a compromise plan here, do you want to listen? "

Shi Liang also felt a little blushed at Li Wei's criticism that their work was not saturated, "But our program is on and off, and it's not what we think. However, I want to hear what compromise you have."

"In fact, the compromise plan is similar to Smart's dream at the time, but my plan is more radical than this. I hope you will participate in the production of the show. We have all stayed in Smart. Regarding the production process of the show, Everyone has learned it. What's more, seniors, you have participated in more concerts and programs, and you have more experience than experience. My idea is that I will form a brokerage company with you, and you will also participate in the investment of the program. , and then the brokerage company will divide the accounts according to the investment ratio and ratings; we will get our own profits based on the brokerage company's income, how?" Li Wei gave a plan.In fact, Li Wei doesn't want APEX to be integrated into the existing Kirin management system, because the seniority of these five people is too high.

"Then how to distribute the capital and shares?" Kuang Wei asked.

"Seniors use their own name rights, portrait rights and all agency contracts as capital contributions, and each person holds 8% of the shares; I use cash, production teams and channels as capital, accounting for 50% of the shares; the remaining 10% will be held in equity The form of incentives is reserved for the executives of the brokerage company. In order to show fairness, we both get half of the 10% incentive equity, how about it?"

"There is no big problem, but we need to go back and discuss with others." Kuang Wei replied. "Finally, there is one more question, APEX's trademark rights and our past portrait rights and record copyrights, please help us get them back. At the very least, APEX's trademark rights must be preserved. Otherwise, I will not sign this contract. "

"Of course." Since Li Wei intends to sign APEX, he has to deal with the firm to get all the rights of APEX.After making the promise, Li Wei chatted with Kuang Wei and Shi Liang for a while, and then they left.

After seeing off Kuang Wei and Shi Liang, Li Wei immediately asked Su Li, Liu Jiaying and people from the company's legal department to come to the meeting.When it comes to the company's intention to sign APEX, and intends to ask the firm for the relevant rights and interests of APEX.Su Li is still very happy that the company can sign APEX, "What our company lacks most now is this kind of qualified artist joining. If APEX can join the company, it will be a great opportunity for new company artists. Incentives and benchmarks. But the question is, how do we convince Smart & Associates to give up their monopoly on APEX-related rights?"

"Yes, this is the most rare." Liu Jiaying also said with quite a headache, "APEX's trademark rights, related works copyrights and portrait rights, the most important thing is the trademark right, followed by the copyright, and the third is the portrait right. If Chen Wende If the old man is still in power, then we still have a way to persuade him. But now that Chen Wenxin and Teng Jingli are in power, it is too difficult!"

"Let's contact in secret through a third-party company." Li Wei rubbed his temples and said, "Then we keep it secret internally, and the news about APEX's contact with us is classified as top secret." Li Wei also admitted that as APEX grows older, they will The commercial value of the work will inevitably decline.But their value in other aspects is getting bigger and bigger, especially their value in bringing newcomers.After Li Wei decided to sign APEX, he let them maintain the state of "flying solo without disbanding".At most one team variety show will be kept, as for the team's music works or concerts, they can be cancelled. APEX can maintain the speed of releasing one single in half a year or one single in a year, and then release a regular album or mini album in three years.As for the concert, it depends on when they have time.Li Wei decided to put their experience on film and television commercials, the commercials are mainly team commercials; Shi Liang and Shen Wu are mainly on variety show hosts, especially Shen Wu can try variety shows; Kuang Wei is mainly on movies and TV dramas; Daoyuan is a TV series. Cao Jiangang's fashion drama and Lang Daoyuan's costume drama still have guaranteed ratings.With their five sons responsible for ratings and acting skills, Li Wei can arrange other newcomers to join the group to learn experience.

After the APEX disbandment turmoil subsided slowly after the apology broadcast, the Huaxia entertainment circle returned to the stage of worshiping or criticizing Wen Jing's album.No matter what the attitude is, Wen Jing's album sales still dominate the album charts, and at the same time, the discussions about Wen Jing and Wen Jing's music in the major media have not stopped.Wen Jing's comeback has also aroused the sighs of many female singers. The current entertainment industry is basically in the era of idols. Of course, capable female singers can still sell sales, but they are only a flash in the pan on the singles chart, and then they are again. The idols were drowned out.Someone has calculated the data of the top 100 singles and HOT200 albums on the "Pop Music" Billboard for the past five years. With the power of the annual list, idols account for [-]% of the top [-] singles and half of the albums. "Sister Fenfen, do you think that if I go to Qilin too, will I be as successful as Wen Jing?" A gorgeous female singer suddenly asked, "Anyway, my record contract is about to expire, why don't we go to Qilin to try our luck?" ?”

"Kirin Records?" Another well-maintained lady looked at the news being reported on TV, "Sunny, do you really want to go to Kirin? With your current status, that little plum must give 100% You are warmly welcome to join us. But the problem is, they already have Wen Jing, are you willing to be inferior to Wen Jing? Besides, Wen Jing's manager is the CEO of Qilin Brokerage, so it is hard to guarantee that she has no selfish intentions towards her direct line artist. Woolen cloth?"

"Sister Fenfen, do you think I'm worried about Wen Jing? It's not easy to be a 'first sister'! If the record sells well and you are a 'first sister', then the status of 'first sister' is too worthless." ? Why is the "first sister"? That is because the first sister can lead new people to become popular besides her own popularity. Do you think Wen Jing's character will bring other new singers on the show? Even if there are two singers in Kylin Music Empress Dowager Gong, I guarantee that Wen Jing is just the mascot-like Queen Mother of the East, and the real person is me, the Queen Mother of the West." The actress smiled coquettishly, "Besides, Sister Fenfen, are you afraid that you won't be able to compete with the Queen Mother?" Sister? You must know that Sister Ying’s ability is only in finding people. You, Sister Fenfen, are a record producer. Are you in charge of producing too few albums? Her Sister Ying occupies the position of CEO of Kylin Brokerage. Take the CEO position of Kirin Music. If I can have Li Wei to help produce one or two albums, then my status will definitely be raised to another level!"
