Chapter 316: I won’t leave if I don’t give you the script!
"Mr. You, you got this contract by mistake, right?"
At this time in Tongji Entertainment, even Zheng Yuzhen, who is well-informed and has been in the industry for more than 20 years, still blurted out subconsciously when she saw the contract given to Yu Feifei.
Tongji Entertainment is really brave for such a contract.
She originally thought that she might be shocked by Tongji Entertainment's management contract, but she never expected that what scared him was not the so-called high liquidated damages, but the lack of liquidated damages at all.
In terms of commission, it is almost the highest rate that top-tier artists of Phoenix Entertainment can get.
And Zheng Yuzhen knew very well that the fact that they were able to get such a contract had nothing to do with Yu Feifei or her.
It's because the contracts that Tongji Entertainment gives to all artists are probably like this.
If Xu Ji has not changed since he founded the company, then Tongji Entertainment is indeed unique in the entertainment industry.
And this seems to be able to explain why Tongji Entertainment is obviously getting bigger in scale and image, but the number of artists is still so small.
Such a contract should indeed have more restrictions on the selection of signed artists.
"You should have got it right, Miss Yu's name is written on it."
"Miss Zheng, if there's no problem, I'll be here today."
Youman was not surprised by Zheng Yuzhen's surprise.
This is the expression that appears on all Tongji Entertainment’s artists when they sign contracts.
In fact, Youman doesn't have much trust in Zheng Yuzhen and Yu Feifei. He even thinks that they should not be given such a contract since they had a problem with Sha Yetong.
But Xu Ji's attitude was that it didn't matter.
Although there is no liquidated damages or anything like that, it cannot prevent Yu Feifei and the others from being suddenly poached or changing jobs.
But there is just one Yu Feifei, so there is no need to pay so much attention to it.
The impact on Tongji Entertainment is even minimal.
When Zheng Yuzhen and Yu Feifei got on the plane leaving Rongcheng, they were still a little unresponsive and felt that this trip was like a dream.
Especially Yu Feifei, because Zheng Yuzhen reminded her before that she should talk less when negotiating the contract and leave it to herself to avoid the other party guessing their bottom line.
But now it seems that there is no need for this at all.
Because the other party is Tongji Entertainment, they can basically make the two agree to all the conditions.
Except for liquidated damages, after reading the specific contract, even Zheng Yuzhen, who had originally planned to bargain, didn't know what to say.
"Sister Zheng, actually the faceless man in "The Masked Singer" should be Xu Ji, right?"
Yu Feifei suddenly asked.
Zheng Yuzhen nodded.
"It should be, I didn't expect such a thing."
Zheng Yuzhen has actually analyzed the true identity of the faceless man many times before.
Especially before coming to Chengdu, there were a lot of speculations.
It's strange to say that when she didn't know about it before, she felt that it was absolutely impossible for the faceless man to be Xu Ji. Although the possibility was possible, it was very slim.
The analysis results of many people on the Internet are also the same.
But after I found out about it, I realized that Xu Ji was a faceless man. The more I thought about it, the more reasonable it became.
Although the two people are different in all aspects of their characteristics, it is undeniable that there are not many similar people in the entertainment industry in terms of songwriting ability and talent.
After all, among the great songwriters and songwriters in China, except for Xu Ji, the other youngest ones are all in their thirties.
Although she said she didn't hesitate at all when she agreed to sign the contract, when Zheng Yuzhen returned to Shanghai, where Phoenix Entertainment is located, and prepared to terminate the contract, she still felt a little disappointed.
She has been with this company since she started working as an agent. It would be a lie to say she has no feelings.
If Li Xingyao was still here, Zheng Yuzhen might not have decided to leave, and had even made plans to retire at Phoenix Entertainment.
It can only be said that everything has changed a long time ago. Except for the name of the company Phoenix Entertainment, there is really not much here that is worthy of Zheng Yuzhen's nostalgia.
As for Yu Feifei, she doesn’t feel much about it.
Although I stayed at Phoenix Entertainment for three years, I actually had little contact with other people in the company most of the time.
Zheng Yuzhen also followed her. For her, other than changing companies, she felt that there was not much change.
"Agent Zheng, have you just come back from outside?"
"It seems like we got a good announcement for Feifei?"
In the company, I met Xu Donghua, who was also a gold medal broker. He was as sinister as ever.
In fact, life is not easy for both of them now.
Even Xu Donghua felt more uncomfortable than her. After all, the other party had three artists under his command, and his resources were much tighter than Yu Feifei's.
However, the two of them have been competing with each other in various places for so many years. Even if they reach this point, they are not willing to bow their heads and complain to each other.
Xu Donghua originally thought that Zheng Yuzhen would put on a bad face like before, and then say something back to her.
But this time Zheng Yuzhen's reaction was beyond her expectation.
Zheng Yuzhen was not only not angry, but also showed a relieved smile.
"Donghua, I'm ready to leave Phoenix."
"Take care of yourself."
"What does leaving mean?"
Xu Donghua was stunned for a moment, and then when he was about to ask, Zheng Yuzhen had already bypassed her and walked towards the chairman's office.
Not long after, the news spread throughout the company that Zheng Yuzhen, the golden manager of Phoenix Entertainment, who had been with the company since its inception, and her artist Yu Feifei had terminated her contract with the company.
This news may not be big, but it is certainly not small.
Because since the establishment of Phoenix Entertainment, there have only been a dozen or so gold medal agents in all the years since it was founded.
Except for one of them who quit the industry directly because of illness, there has never been a case of voluntarily leaving.
Coupled with the recent suppression of these senior managers and artists by the company, it makes people think a lot.
"Zheng Yuzhen has found her next home!"
"And the company should be pretty good."
"Otherwise, given her character, she would not be such a standout before she is absolutely sure."
Xu Donghua is chatting with some old friends from the company.
Unlike Zheng Yuzhen, who has a lonely and weird personality and doesn't have many friends in the company, Xu Donghua and several other gold medal agents are still in constant contact.
They will also cooperate with each other and exchange their resources.
After Xu Donghua heard such words, his face actually didn't look very good.
Mainly because basically everyone here is looking for other places to go.
Everyone knows that the company's top management is determined to reform and take back all the resources in the hands of veteran agents like them.
The days ahead will probably only get more and more difficult.
Under such circumstances, naturally no one would be stupid enough to continue to stay at Phoenix Entertainment.
But after all, these people have high standards. Even if they leave, they will leave with their artists.
The right company is not easy to find.
Just talking about the specific contract would probably take a long time, so it's surprising that Zheng Yuzhen is so fast.
"Where do you think Zheng Yuzhen will go?"
"Tianwu? Or smallpox?"
Someone asked in a low voice.
The first two mentioned are naturally the other two among the three major ones, and these are indeed the most suitable places to go.
But Xu Donghua shook his head.
"Zheng Yuzhen only has Yu Feifei under her command."
"If you go to Tianwu and Tianhua, you probably won't be able to get a good contract. The most you can get is an A-level contract."
"She doesn't have much foundation there, so she probably has to compete with many newcomers for the resources she has."
"With so many restrictions, she probably won't consider it."
Xu Donghua and Zheng Yuzhen have been fighting openly and secretly for such a long time, and they have the deepest understanding of each other.
But the more this happened, the more Xu Donghua couldn’t figure out where Zheng Yuzhen had gone.
She originally thought that based on her and Zheng Yuzhen's opinions, they would be the last ones to leave the company.
As a result, Zheng Yuzhen turned out to be the first to leave.
"I have some gossip."
"It is said that Zheng Yuzhen seems to have returned from Rongcheng with Yu Feifei."
"You said they didn't join Tongji Entertainment, right?"
Such words immediately caused a huge wave among everyone.
"Really or fake?"
"If it's Tongji Entertainment, it seems to be able to explain why Zheng Yuzhen left in such a hurry."
"Isn't it harder to get into Tongji Entertainment than Tianwu and Tianpo? How did she do it?"
When Xu Donghua heard this, she interrupted everyone's quarrel and shook her head with certainty.
"It shouldn't be possible."
She knows some things from a few years ago.
At that time, Sha Yetong was almost an artist under Zheng Yuzhen, but in the end she gave up on this diva herself.
Because of this incident, Xu Donghua laughed at him a lot.
Now it is said that Zheng Yuzhen went to Sha Yetong's company, which is a little too credible.
"Brother, did we really just agree so easily?"
In the chairman's office, Li Borui Game asked in confusion.
"They just paid the liquidated damages, so what if I don't agree?"
"And it looks better to get together and get together easily."
"I guess Zheng Yuzhen is just the beginning, and many people will leave in the future."
Li Bokai was not surprised that the company's top agent left.
When he started to deliberately withdraw resources and put them on newcomers, he actually expected this result.
It was originally part of Li Bokai's plan to let the company undergo a major change.
Although there will be labor pains, he believes that only in this way can Phoenix Entertainment regain its vitality.
Many people in the company now rely on their so-called seniority to occupy most of the resources, which is definitely a big waste.
Their father Li Xingyao had an old relationship with these people, but Phoenix Entertainment is different now from before.
As for what some people outside say are digging their own graves, Li Bokai doesn't care.
He will only speak with facts.
Didn't those people say before that the two brothers would definitely not be able to manage Phoenix Entertainment, but now isn't the entire company completely under his control?
Although the internal changes of Phoenix Entertainment have been spread, in fact, apart from rivals Tianwu and Tianhua, not many people pay attention to it.
And Youman, who had decided to sign a contract with Yu Feifei, didn't have much time to pay attention to this matter at this time, and directly left it to the company's subordinates.
Because during the recent period, "Parents' Love" will be officially launched online soon.
Although this drama has the least investment among Tongji Entertainment's projects in the same period, Youman still dare not neglect it.
Mainly because as the money spent on the post-production special effects of the two dramas "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and "The Legend of the Withered Heroes" is flowing like water, Tongji Entertainment is in urgent need of funds.
The official TV station did pay the copyright fee, but Station G would not pay the money until the drama was officially aired.
After the broadcast, the relevant share will be received one after another.
"It would be best if the love between parents can be broadcast as soon as possible.
And after the release is finalized, you have to cooperate with the g station to carry out relevant publicity work.
This part has always been handled by Youman himself, and it’s very tiring.
After Wen Hao joined later, I had a helper and it became a little easier.
Of course, what Youman finds most outrageous is that Xu Ji spends time staring at the company's dramas every time before they are released.
But after the drama was scheduled to be aired, I didn’t care much at all.
Those who do the publicity work are rarely responsible, and they don’t even bother to help with posting on Weibo.
Wen Hao is talking about the boss Xu Ji's trust in Youman.
But Youman knew that it was just Xu Ji who was used to being the hands-off shopkeeper.
However, it seems that Xu Ji has not been idle during this period, or that he cannot protect himself.
Because someone came to his door.
"Director Xu, you can't play tricks on me!"
"It was promised for a week, but more than half a month has passed."
"Actually, I don't want to disturb you. The main reason is that I'm afraid you will simply forget about it."
In the reception room of Tongji Entertainment, Song Lili was pouring out his bitter words to Xu Ji in front of him.
In November, Xu Ji promised to give him the script of the new drama within a week. Song Lili, who had originally negotiated the matter, was not in the mood to do anything else every day, just waiting for the other party to send him the script.
As a result, it was now December, and it was New Year's Day soon, but Xu Ji still didn't see any movement.
Every time Song Lili made a phone call or sent a message, Xu Ji gave Hu a call.
In the end, Song Lili couldn't bear it anymore and came to Chengdu directly.
He has already thought about it. It is absolutely impossible to leave this time before getting the script from Xu Ji.
"Director Song, I'm not satisfied with what you said, but I've actually been working very hard on it."
"But writing a script requires inspiration."
Xu Ji explained with a guilty conscience.
If it weren't for Song Lili coming in person, he would have almost forgotten about it.
Song Lili didn't believe Xu Ji's statement at all.
It might be possible to change the screenwriter, but Xu Ji knows how fast he can write scripts.
"I don't care, Director Xu, if I can't get the script this time, I'm relying on you, Tongji Entertainment, to keep me from leaving!"
Song Lili crossed his arms and lay down on the back of the sofa very simply. He looked serious.
He didn't know that Xu Ji also participated in the recording of "The Masked Singer".
