Chapter 143 The Tranquility Before the Storm Comes
When an artist under China Star resigns, there will of course be liquidated damages.
Liquidated damages are not that high in the industry, but they are a lot of money for ordinary people.
But it's strange that this group of people would rather pay the liquidated damages than leave Huaxing, as if Huaxing is some kind of dragon pit or a tiger's den.
In the office.
An Xiao tore up the contracts one by one in front of Zhou Yang and threw them into the wastebasket.
Zhou Yang looked at the contract that had been broken into pieces. While feeling uncomfortable, he was also filled with more confusion.
China Star actually has very loose terms and conditions in all aspects, and they choose to turn a blind eye or close one's eyes when artists go out to take private jobs.
Moreover, although Huaxing lost money on a big-budget movie, which hurt its vitality, the foundation in all aspects is still there, and the operation is not too bad. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this company has a future.
Why is this so?
Zhou Yang did not ask this question.
"The company's current operating capital is four million, and your two million counts as your 49% stake in the company..." After finishing the contracts, An Xiao sat back on the chair and slowly took out a
contract.
The name of this contract is "Huaxing Equity Change Letter". When he opened the contract, Zhou Yang saw that the official seal had been stamped on the change letter. He only needed to sign it himself, and then it would be notarized before everything would take effect.
Zhou Yang looked at the contract silently without moving his body.
He didn't sign it.
Just looking at An Xiao.
An Xiao's eye circles were redder than before, but her expression was calm and she didn't seem to be lying.
Then, he looked at the contract again.
I don't know why, but he always feels like he's taking advantage of others.
"Because legal persons must hold 51% of the shares, some things are difficult to change..." An Xiao added.
"I know, but..." Zhou Yang hesitated.
"You don't even think that Huaxing can continue to operate? Are you afraid that if you sign this contract, the company will become a burden to you?" An Xiao saw Zhou Yang's hesitation, her heart condensed slightly, and she suddenly shook her head with a wry smile on her face, "Don't worry.
, the company has not signed any gambling agreement, and although it has lost money before, it currently does not have any liabilities..."
"That's not what I meant, I just felt that I..." Zhou Yang couldn't describe the complicated feeling deep in his heart. When the words came to his mouth, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Sign it." An Xiao looked at Zhou Yang's expression and said these two words, then looked slightly at the ceiling, "If you still want it to exist."
"..."
Zhou Yang finally signed the contract, and from being a wage earner, he officially became the largest shareholder of China Star.
After signing, An Xiao looked at Zhou Yang.
Then she smiled and nodded.
"Welcome to officially join Huaxing, Mr. Zhou. I will handle the internal affairs of the company from now on, and I will run the company well again. Although the company is now at a low point, I am confident that I can run the company well again. You don't need to have any
Go ahead and do whatever you want to do..."
In the office.
The originally depressing atmosphere relaxed instantly.
Under the sun, Zhou Yang looked at An Xiao and was suddenly stunned.
He found that the whole ice beauty was really beautiful after she suddenly smiled.
It's like a smile on the snow in winter, like the warm sun shining on the earth, filling people's hearts with warmth...
"come on!"
He wanted to say, Mr. An, you are so beautiful, but then he thought about it and felt a little abrupt.
Finally, I searched my mind and finally found these two words.
"Um!"
………………
Life sometimes seems like a dream.
Two years ago…
Zhou Yang is a poor poor man who is running around for a living and medical treatment.
Two years later, Zhou Yang became the CEO of a company in Yanjing.
He was quite emotional, and at the same time, he felt a little heavier and more depressed.
Although Huaxing currently has no debt, the entire company has been close to a hundred people when Zhou Yang first came here, and now there are only more than 20 people left, and more than half of these 20 people are newly recruited interns who know nothing.
, at first glance, the entire company feels like it’s full of waste and waiting for improvement.
Boss Zhou Yang is also a polished commander.
There are no assistants, no secretaries, just an empty brand new office and a pile of books.
The company currently invests in only one project, and that is Huang Jiacheng's "The Grandmaster", with a total investment of 7 million.
Apart from this, the company has not invested in other projects for the time being.
The company currently does not have a dedicated director...
Both Zhou Yilin and Guan Tong signed a cooperation investment agreement, focusing on one movie at a time.
Although Feng Kai signed a supernumerary clause, which is slightly worse than the cooperative investment agreement, it is basically one movie at a time.
Feng Kai's contract is still with China Star, which does not count as leaving China Star. However, the contract states that Feng Kai has absolute freedom and can contact and shoot movies from other companies, and China Star has the priority as an actor.
At present, the music department is relatively reliable in the company.
The song department headed by Wu Zhenhong has two singers, Jiang Shushu and Song Qianqian...
All talents in the recording system are still in the company, and no one has left.
The only ones that suffered serious damage were the company's public relations department and information department...
All the people in these two departments were gone. The empty department was eerily quiet and even made people panic. It was very much like a scene in a modern society shooting a ghost movie.
The company currently does not have any new actors, only a few of the original cast members from "Under the Mine" are currently signing up for a group to keep themselves warm.
Because of Chen Tingting's outstanding performance in "The Bottom of the Mine" and "The Crow", several crew members were willing to contact her. Because she did not have any agent relationship, she could only negotiate many commercial matters by herself. By the way, she brought Zhao
Zhen, Chen Shuangbao and others went to the crew to try their luck and see if there were any roles.
Currently, China Star is in such a state. It is not too bad, but it is definitely not much better. Living in this cunning entertainment industry is very difficult. It is completely foreseeable that it may be even more difficult in the future.
Wait until evening...
Mr. Wu Zhenhong is here.
After Mr. Wu arrived, Zhou Yang walked into the office as soon as he saw him and chatted with An Xiao for a long time...
When the sun went down and night fell, the conversation was still not over. After assistant Zhou Xi bought the fast food and delivered it to them, the two sides chatted until late at night.
When the old man came out, he happened to see Zhou Yang walking out of the office and preparing to go back to sleep.
He glanced at Zhou Yang and patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder.
"Well done. A man should have such a responsibility. Go to bed early. A new battle has begun. Only by taking a good rest can you have the energy to deal with the next thing."
"What's next?"
"It's nothing, just concentrate on learning to compose music! I'll ask someone to teach you piano starting tomorrow. Piano is one of the indispensable instruments for composing music. You don't have to be proficient in it, but you must know how to do it, and you must understand..."
After saying this, the old man patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder again, and then left with a smile.
Zhou Yang always felt that what the old man said about how to deal with the next thing seemed to have some meaning.
But he didn't know how to ask.
In the following days, Wu Zhenhong not only followed Zhou Yang to the recording studio over and over again to record "Men Should Be Strong", but also began to help Song Qianqian to produce the album "Invisible Wings".
As for Zhou Yang's piano, Wu Zhenhong specially hired a Japanese piano teacher named Takekawa Morita.
Takekawa Morita's Chinese proficiency is good, and there is no obstacle in communicating with Zhou Yang. In addition to popularizing piano music theory knowledge to Zhou Yang, the piano teacher will take Zhou Yang to watch piano performances whenever he is free.
meeting.
The concert gave Zhou Yang a very shocking feeling, especially when he saw the pianists on the stage playing the piano gracefully, and the beautiful melodies flowing out of his fingertips. Zhou Yang felt like there were musical elves reverberating in his ears.
He listened to it over and over again, and at the same time, he felt that each piece of music not only contained emotions, but also contained stories. He was immersed in it and felt the fun of it.
A week later...
Zhou Yang can play some simple songs. Although he makes frequent mistakes, the rhythm will suddenly break off at critical moments, which makes Gokawa Morita next to him feel that this is an epic disaster and massacre aimed at his ears!
But Zhou Yang felt good about himself, especially when Zhou Yang was playing, the pianist's elegance, nobility, and devotion would appear in his mind. Zhou Yang unconsciously began to imitate their appearance, and in the music
Soaring in the ocean over and over again, and then immersed in it, forgetting myself...
Takekawa Morita is very sorry.
Zhou Yang's sense of music is quite good, and his physical talents in various aspects are also quite good...
However, he is really too big.
Starting to learn piano at this age, apart from being able to play some basic music and perform in concerts and the like, he is unlikely to achieve much.
At least so far, he has never seen anyone who learns piano at this age achieve anything. The most he can do is become a piano teacher...
but!
It's a pity, but when he was teaching, he still taught everything he had to teach very seriously.
This is a pianist's duty.
However, a week later, Takekawa Morita saw another possibility for Zhou Yang in his music career.
……………………
Christian has come to China.
This time...
He came here in person.
He followed Huang Jiacheng into China Star Entertainment.
"Ah, Mr. An is not here. During this week, Mr. An has been dealing with things and has not been in the company..."
"Well, Mr. Zhou is practicing the piano. Do you want to go in and listen?"
"..."
The young lady at the front desk was stunned when she saw the two people. She was so excited that she couldn't help herself. After seeing the two people nodding, she quickly led Huang Jiacheng and Christian towards the piano training room.
When they first arrived in front of the training room, the two heard bursts of chaotic music...
Christian frowned slightly.
But then, the chaotic music seemed to turn into a burst of gentle music.
