Chapter 549 Overlord Clause

As the executive president of [dream media], Gonzalez, who once worked at Disney, is easy-going, but he is decisive when he has something to do.

So even though Fu Zhengyi called to explain it was early in the eastern hemisphere, Gonzalez only took less than six hours to collect three versions of the official contract of the Rolling Stone Company, and found someone familiar with the Rolling Stone executives, and learned about the character and style of the Rolling Stone family.

After going to Fu Zhengyi for three calls, no one answered, so Gonzalez had to take his team and stayed in the company to work overtime.

As soon as the phone rang on the table, Gonzalez immediately picked it up. Hearing that it was Fu Zhengyi's voice, he immediately opened the information report in front of him. "Boss, if you just terminate the contract, you will generally not be able to communicate with Rolling Stone. They have their own considerations for any singer who has signed a contract. If you want to terminate the contract unilaterally, it is likely that you have to implement it according to the agreement..."

Although he had not seen the contract from Su Jianxin, Fu Zhengyi believed that the amount of compensation for termination would not be low, so he continued to ask. "There is no other way to resolve it peacefully and cheaply?"

Gonzalez said helplessly. "The Rolling Stone's attitude is accustomed to developing it together, or they would rather hide it than give other record companies a chance..."

Fu Zhengyi asked: "That's nothing to talk about?"

Gonzalez said: "Rolling Stone has a good vision of development, and its teams are also relatively elite. They are familiar with the Chinese market and have a wide and close relationship with Chinese media. They are more sensitive to the market than ordinary foreign companies. Besides, Polyglin is not as strong as the sky, and UFO Records is about to disappear. The consequence of being the dominant one is that as long as the newcomers who are favored by Rolling Stone but have not yet promoted to the market, once they are signed by Rolling Stone, it is equivalent to wearing shackles. It takes an extremely high price to terminate the contract. And if there are restrictive terms in the contract, it will become quite difficult to terminate the contract! However, if you can exchange it with other conditions and with conditions that they are not easy to refuse, the difficulty of termination can be appropriately reduced..."

The situation is clear. It seems impossible to make Su Jianxin terminate the contract with Rolling Stone without paying a certain price.

Fu Zhengyi was a little annoyed, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.

Who made me unable to meet Su Jianxin earlier and recruit him?

After Rolling Stone signed Su Jianxin, he hid him for three years, and then he even said hello to other companies in the industry and was not allowed to help him produce records. All this was just because Rolling Stone was unwilling to let Su Jianxin interfere with the band he was promoting. If it was from the perspective of Rolling Stone, it would be understandable to do so, but from the perspective of Su Jianxin, three or five years would be wasted!

No matter how difficult it is, the corresponding preparations still need to be continued. Fu Zhengyi asked Gonzalez to arrange a professional lawyer to continue studying the Rolling Stone contract to see if the loopholes can be found. In addition, he sent someone familiar with the Chinese record industry to officially build a record company.

Gonzalez immediately recommended Emily to help, saying that she was in Yanjing because of the release of "Monster Shrek" in mainland China. Although she did not have enough experience in her career, she was still qualified for her business work.

The cartoon "Monster Shrek" produced by DreamWorks has been promoted in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou for a long time, and the related film discs will be released in major audio and video stores across the country one month after the cartoon is released. Emily is basically responsible for these matters. Fu Zhengyi called to ask about the situation and found out that she had formed a copyright team in China in accordance with the requirements of [Dream Media]. Not only did she communicate with the domestic copyright departments, but she also persuaded the relevant departments to conduct a powerful inspection on the pirated market with the help of this cartoon screening.

After reporting on his work, Emily asked. "Boss, it's very easy to build a record company, but it's a bit difficult to recruit professionals familiar with the discourse record market to join. Moreover, I don't know about the Taiwan market. Do you think I'll go to Pengcheng to meet you, or go directly to the Magic City to handle the formalities?"

If Gang Lili makes a comeback, not to mention her original market appeal, even if she doesn't release a new song, it will be enough to be popular in the mainland market for two or three years with her previous sweet songs. However, Xie Yunpeng just mentioned before that whether Gang Lili is really willing to make a comeback still has to be questioned. Thinking that she still needs to go to Yanjing to buy a courtyard house this month, Fu Zhengyi asked Emily to stay in Yanjing to do her job well and wait for further notice.

Fu Zhengyi hung up the phone, and Ke Yayuan, who was sitting opposite him, asked, "Boss, where are you going to play?"

Fu Zhengyi was puzzled. "What's the matter?"

Ke Yayuan turned her face and looked outside. Seeing Su Jianxin being honestly cooperating with Ran Ying, she smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, are you playing with this record company? Or are you really going to do it seriously?"

Su Jianxin is one of Fu Zhengyi's favorite singers in his previous life. His bumpy life experience and hardships in his acting career are enough to make every knower angry and regret his experience. He met by chance. Fu Zhengyi did not think carefully at first, nor did he take many considerations. It was just because he wanted to help him get on stage as soon as possible and realize his wish to sing with Su Jianxin. Therefore, it doesn't matter whether the record company can make money.

However, once the record company is established, Fu Zhengyi probably doesn’t have that much energy to pay attention to, but if it’s just a simple game, it won’t be so. So he thought about it and asked back, “Do you know Gang Lili?”

"I know! Gang Lili, who is famous all over the country and is known as the sweet sister, is very much! I like her very much, but unfortunately she said she was about to fade out of the music industry last year. As expected, she rarely sees news about her this year..."

Seeing that Ke Yayuan was still a fan of Gang Lili, Fu Zhengyi laughed. "Gang Lili may make a comeback. If she is willing to join, there will be two contracted singers under my record company!"

Ke Yayuan jumped up in shock on the spot. "Impossible? Will Gang Lili join the record company you are planning to set up?"

"I can only say that it is possible, don't spread the news for the time being..."

Before Fu Zhengyi could finish his words, Ke Yayuan widened her eyes in shock. "Boss! Is it really possible?"

"Yeah, if you want to sign and take a photo, I think there is still a great opportunity..."

When working, the rigid and serious Ke Yayuan happily turned around in the office, lowered her head and muttered that she must ask Gang Lili to sign for herself, and that the camera must be carried with her in the future!

Tian Jie'er's reputation is a bit incredible to Fu Zhengyi. Obviously, in this era, the fan group is of no age. And Ke Yayuan's performance also made him feel that Ke Yayuan in front of him became more real.

Ten minutes later, Su Jianxin's agent Anan arrived.

With a contract of more than two inches, Fu Zhengyi lost his desire to open and read.

Su Jianxin's agent Anan was quite tactful. He took out his notebook and said that the agreement was quite harsh. Although it was just a three-year contract for newcomers, if you want to unilaterally terminate the contract, it would be impossible without compensation of NT$15 million.

Ke Yayuan knew that the record company was not responsible for her own responsibility, but seeing that Fu Zhengyi was not ready to let her avoid it from beginning to end, she picked up the calculator and said shocked after finishing it. "No, right? It's more than three million to convert it into RMB?"

Anan smiled bitterly. "There is no way. The contract at the Taiwan Rolling Stone is the industry standard. If you want to develop, you must accept it. What's more, there are too many newcomers who want to sign this contract, so where are you qualified to negotiate the conditions..."

It is normal for a big shop to bully customers.

Fu Zhengyi did not want to get entangled in this issue and asked Anan Rolling Stone how the current contract with Su Jianxin was implemented?

Anan spread her hands and shook her head. "At present, she will postpone the release of the film indefinitely! Unless Su Jianxin is willing to remove the 'Xin' from his name and will not use 'AXin' for publicity in the future, she will basically be able to automatically terminate the contract until the contract expires..."

Ke Yayuan couldn't listen. "As you said, Rolling Stone only needs to sign a contract with the singer and complete the reserves. Whether the signed singer will be trained and whether the films can be released is the final decision! But if a signed singer wants to terminate the contract in advance, he must pay high compensation. Rolling Stone can take such a big advantage without investing a penny. Your Taiwan record industry is too dark, right?"

Anan was silent.

Su Jianxin, who came in with him, also hung his head and was very frustrated.

The compensation of NT$15 million is not to mention a new singer, even those singers who have posted one or two records may not be able to make up the money to pay the Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone is the unrivaled cash boss in Taiwan's record industry and occupies an absolute dominant position in the Chinese-speaking market.

In the past, Polygold had also been there, and UFO Records could allow newcomers to make choices. Unfortunately, Polygold's development in the Chinese-language market has stagnated, and UFO Records has died in name only because of its acquisition by Warner!

The dominance of the Rolling Stones naturally weakens the possibility of newcomers fighting for rights and interests, and they have to accept their extremely domineering contracts!

Fu Zhengyi believes that Su Jianxin's agent Anan looked at this contract again and again. Although the compensation of NT$15 million is indeed not a small amount, with Su Jianxin's singing skills and strength, it doesn't matter if the money is made to stand on the big stage five years in advance.

But for Su Jianxin, without pressure, he will lose the passion for creation, and he will cause trouble because of his prodigal nature...

Fu Zhengyi's meditation made Su Jianxin find that the future he was still looking forward to seemed to be getting dark again...
