In a fine dining restaurant.

"Ye Zhou, the 64th share is divided into five years and the five-year contract. I believe no company can give you such a good contract, and you should know the company's attitude towards Wang Wei a few days ago."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man. He was the head of the economic department of Huazong Company. He had a kind face, but his tone was unconcealed arrogance.

Ye Zhou did not have the idea of ​​cooperating with Hua Zong. Not to mention the attitude of the middle-aged man at this time, just the incident two years ago, he still had unrelieved grudges for Hua Zong.

The reason why he was invited was that after learning about the funding and connections of opening a studio, he gave up his idea of ​​opening a studio at the moment and wanted to see how big companies would offer their prices now.

Yes, it is just a price offer, which is also a common phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Except for those super first-line celebrity artists, any artist is a product in the eyes of those agency companies. If it is done, it will be taken. If it is not done, it will definitely not be ignored.

Ye Zhou never thought there was anything about this kind of inequality in status. After all, after a large amount of capital poured into the entertainment industry, this was a common phenomenon and it was inevitable.

"The contract has been changed to three years, and the income is divided into 82, so I will consider Huazong's."

The middle-aged man was stunned and concluded when he came that Ye Zhou would not refuse his own benefits. After all, what Hua Zong gave him was a contract for a quasi-first-line artist. For artists like him who were hidden and became popular again, it was undoubtedly a timely help, and the contract period was not as rigorous as seven or eight years.

But I didn't expect the other party to say this, which made the middle-aged man feel like he was being played with and said angrily: "Ye Zhou, don't think that Xian San is popular, you will be really popular. After the Xian San is popular, it would be good if your popularity is stable in the second line without the support of the economic company. It would be extremely arrogant."

Ye Zhou's expression did not change and said, "Three years of contract is the bottom line. If Hua Zong feels it is inappropriate, we have nothing to talk about."

The middle-aged man's expression became even more ugly. An artist like Ye Zhou, who is highly trained, signing a contract for three years often means that the company has not yet made the huge profit after the operation. The artist will get the time to settle the contract. If he signs him like this, the results he will definitely not be enough.

He didn't say anything else, and left the restaurant angrily without calling him.

Ye Zhou shook his head. It seemed that it would be difficult for a large company to accept three-year appointments for a quasi-first-line artist. Just when he was about to get up and leave, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Is it Mr. Ye Zhou?"

Ye Zhou said, "It's me."

"We are Chengxing Entertainment Company. I would like to ask if you have any intention to sign a contract company?"

Chengxing Entertainment Company is an old film and television investment company. It has only expanded its artist economic business in recent years, so it ranks second in the China Entertainment Company. The popular drama "The Harem Strategy" starring Ni Jing a few days ago was invested in.

Ye Zhou did not respond quickly. For a second-rate entertainment company like this, which just involved in the artist economy, the advantage is that he will have a greater say in the negotiations. As for the disadvantages, he may have fewer economic resources.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to notice Ye Zhou's hesitation and said, "If you have any intention, we can meet and discuss now."

Ye Zhou thought for a while and told the other party that he was at his position.

More than forty minutes later, a young man in his thirties came to the restaurant.

After finding Ye Zhou's location, the young man said hello first: "Hello Ye Zhou, I am Xu Tao, general manager of Chengxing Entertainment Economics Branch."

Ye Zhou smiled and shook hands with the other party, and then the two ordered a cup of coffee each and went straight to the topic of the conversation.

"I know you still have some concerns. After all, we have just entered the artist economy, but our resources are not much worse than those big companies. Over the years, we have always had a good benefit in film and television investment and have established deep cooperative relationships with many film and television production companies.

In terms of film and television shooting, our resources are more extensive than Huazong, and if you sign a contract, you will be the first male artist signed by our company."

"By the way, your friend Ni Jing is also our contracted artist."

There is no need to question whether Xu Tao’s words is true or not. Chengxing Entertainment has made great achievements in film and television investment over the years. Not to mention the popular drama "The Harem Strategy", they have invested in last year's blockbuster "Kung Fu" and "Painted Skin" from the previous year.

Ye Zhou smiled, but did not express his intention, and asked, "What about the content of the contract?"

Listening to him, Xu Tao's hand holding the coffee cup was obviously loose and said, "According to your current fame, we have a minimum of 70% to share in the first-line promotion contract and income, and the signing period is five years. Of course, everything can be negotiated."

As he said that, Xu Tao took out a piece of paper information from his briefcase.

Ye Zhou took it and watched it. The promotion resources are indeed accurate, especially in film and television. Chengxing promised to ensure that he participated in a movie or TV with investment of at least 50 million yuan every year. This is a bit magnificent now. Many first-line artists cannot guarantee this when they sign a contract with a company.

Only companies like Chengxing who come from film and television investment have such confidence.

When Ye Zhou saw the breach of contract to deal with the responsibility, he frowned.

The penalty for liquidated contract is as high as 10 million yuan.

Xu Tao noticed Ye Zhou's expression and said, "To be honest, after the considerations of our company's senior management in all aspects, the commercial value set for you is very high, so the liquidated damages are a little more. But don't worry, our company has always maintained an equal attitude towards signing artists. If you are close to the termination period and have no intention to renew the contract, we will not add any asymmetry to you."

Ye Zhou pondered for a while. He was an actor and was very moved by Chengxing's conditions in film and television promotion, but the five-year contract was still unacceptable.

Although the five years of signing contracts for most artists is not too long, starting next year, the Chinese film industry will enter a stage of rapid development, and its plans will be disrupted because of these five years.

"I have to say that this contract is very attractive, but the signing time is still a bit long."

Xu Tao pondered for a while, stood up and said, "This can be discussed, but I need to call the director for his opinion."

About five minutes later, Xu Tao came back and said, "Our directors agreed to your request, but it must not be less than three years. After all, you have signed a contract with a company before and know that the company has made great efforts when promoting artists."

Ye Zhou smiled and said, "Okay, that's three years, I wish us a happy cooperation."

(There are some unreasonable things in the previous chapter, namely, Yang Mi signed the contract for three years and the three years that Sheng Yue set for Ye Zhou, have been modified to five years. Please forgive me.)
