178, 'The Richest Man in Xihong City' will be popular?
In fact, this is a coincidence. Xu Yuanyuan's good friend in the industry, Wang Yanhua, happens to work in the planning department of Ascendas Entertainment. One of the tasks of their planning department in the past two days is to write relevant copywriting and press releases about Xu Meng's joining.
After Xu Yuanyuan joined Chuangshi Entertainment, she updated her Weibo and WeChat Moments simultaneously. After Wang Yanhua saw it, she casually chatted with Xu Yuanyuan, and then talked about Xu Meng, who had just switched jobs from Chuangshi Entertainment to their Tengfei Entertainment.
Originally, the news of Xu Meng's joining was to be announced within a day or two, so Wang Yanhua did not shy away and told Xu Yuanyuan directly.
"Mr. Hu, what should we do? Should we let her go happily?" Xu Yuanyuan asked, not understanding Hu Shuo's work style.
In a situation like Xu Meng's, Chuangshi Entertainment can take two approaches. One is to happily agree to terminate the contract and collect the liquidated damages in the contract.
The other is to disagree with the termination of the contract, go through legal procedures, and claim more company-related losses, such as artist packaging fees, promotion fees, or subsequent work losses, etc...
According to the laws of this time and space, artists cannot sign new management contracts with other companies if the management contract is unclear.
In other words, if Chuangshi Entertainment does not agree to terminate the contract and then sues Xu Meng, Xu Meng will not be able to sign with Ascendas Entertainment soon.
However, choosing the latter approach is actually of no benefit to Chuangshi Entertainment. It can just make the artist who has terminated the contract feel disgusted. In Xu Meng's situation at Chuangshi Entertainment, if there is no follow-up work arrangement, it will also be compensated.
Not much money.
"If she wants to terminate the contract, let her go."
Hu Shuo would never force those who left to stay, nor did he want to embarrass them, because he knew these people would regret it sooner or later.
In Hu Shuo's view, the company's continued strength is the best counterattack against those who leave.
Therefore, whether it was Li Qiuzhu or Xu Meng, since they wanted to leave, Hu Shuo would just let them go. However, since they chose to leave, they would not want to come back.
"Okay, Mr. Hu."
Xu Yuanyuan nodded, but Hu Shuo's indifferent attitude was somewhat beyond her expectation.
Xu Mengke became famous only because of "Love Apartment", but after only a few days of popularity, she chose to terminate her contract with the company that made her famous and replaced her with another boss. It is difficult to be so calm. It is difficult for an artist whose company has finally made her famous.
No matter what, she must be allowed to make some money for the company before she can be let go. This is in line with common sense.
However, Hu Shuo was very indifferent. It seemed that to him, it didn't matter whether an artist like Xu Meng stayed or left!
However, the scale of Chuangshi Entertainment is obviously not that big, there are only a few artists in total, and Xu Meng is a rising and popular newcomer. Logically speaking, such artists should do their best to retain them.
Therefore, Xu Yuanyuan somewhat couldn't understand Hu Shuo, but she also admired Hu Shuo's broadmindedness.
The next day.
Zhang Yingfei went to Hong Kong to sign a contract with He Jiaheng, and sold two songs, "Ice Rain" and "It's Not a Sin for a Man to Cry," in a package to Chen Zihua, for a total of only three million.
But at the same time, Zhang Ying also signed a guest appearance agreement with Chen Zihua on behalf of the producer of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and the latter appeared in the film for free.
Almost at the same time that Zhang Ying and He Jiaheng signed the contract in Hong Kong City, Xu Meng went to Chuangshi Entertainment to handle the termination procedures and paid a one-time penalty.
Not long after the termination procedures between Xu Meng and Chuangshi Entertainment were completed, Ascendas Entertainment officially announced on Weibo that Xu Meng, who played Lin Wanyu in "Love Apartment", had joined the company.
At the same time, Ascendas Entertainment also announced the starring cast of the urban comedy "I'm Not an Angel" produced by their own company. Among them, Xu Meng, who has just joined the company, is on the list and plays the role of the female lead.
Ascendas Entertainment's series of operations naturally attracted a lot of attention. In order to build momentum, the company also bought two hot searches. As a result, Xu Meng switched to Ascendas Entertainment, and Ascendas Entertainment's new drama "I'm Not an Angel" will be officially launched in three days.
News about the launch appeared in Weibo hot searches.
As Xu Meng's name became a hot search topic, netizens couldn't help but think of Li Qiuzhu and Feng Haibo, who were both in the cast of "Love Apartment".
The two of them had just appeared on hot searches, so many netizens began to joke that "Love Apartment" is a magical crew with hotly searched physiques.
Most of the netizens were just watching the fun, but some people with a keen sense of smell in the entertainment circle saw the true intentions of Ascendas Entertainment. Judging from their poaching of Xu Meng, their target should not only be Xu Meng himself, but also Xu Meng himself.
Not surprisingly, several other "Love Apartment" starring actors who are still under agency contracts with Chuangshi Entertainment are also poaching targets for Ascendas Entertainment.
Otherwise, there is no need for them to give Xu Meng a comedy with a female protagonist just after she joined. This is clearly aimed at "The Richest Man in Xihong City" currently being filmed by Chuangshi Entertainment, and Ascendas Entertainment is using actions to tell
For those actors who are waiting to see whether to join them, as long as they come, there will be protagonists to play, and they also have the types that Chuangshi Entertainment has.
Therefore, a large part of the reason why Ascendas Entertainment accepts Xu Meng's joining with high standards is for those who have not yet made up their minds.
In fact, they were just showing it to Shen Kai and Jin Xin, because Ascendas Entertainment already knew that Sun Dasheng and Liu Xiaoxiao had completed their contract renewals in advance.
However, Shen Kai and Jin Xin have not renewed their contracts, and Ascendas Entertainment has also been in contact with them. However, both of them currently have roles in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", so it is impossible to make a decision quickly.
But Shen Kai and Jin Xin are the ones that Ascendas Entertainment strives for. After all, there are very few newcomers who can reach the level of fame and popularity like Shen Kai and Jin Xin. Both of them are artists who have their own traffic, and can create revenue for the company if they are signed.
, such artists are naturally what every entertainment company dreams of.
Therefore, in the battle between Shen Kai and Jin Xin, Ascendas Entertainment is not alone. However, judging from the current situation, Ascendas Entertainment is undoubtedly in the leading position in this battle.
The filming scene of "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
Taking advantage of the break, Shen Kai and Jin Xin hid in the corner and smoked.
"Brother Kai, what are you thinking? If you go there, I will go there with you. We can still take care of you then."
Jin Xin and Shen Kai are students of the same class at Jiangcheng Theater Academy, and they have a very good relationship in private. Since "Love Apartment" became popular, the two have received offers from different companies, but among them they are indeed offered by Ascendas Entertainment.
The conditions were the most attractive, but because Hu Shuo had assigned them roles in "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the two of them had not made a final decision yet.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Shen Kai exhaled smoke and said.
"It's been so long and you haven't thought about it yet?" Jin Xin frowned and said with emotion: "Look at Xu Meng, she went straight to play the female lead, and she was paired with a top celebrity like Huang Hao. How proud!"
"Tengfei Entertainment is indeed very sincere, but I think our drama may become popular." Shen Kai said with a serious face.
"ah?"
"You mean our movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will be a hit??" Jin Xin shook his head with a wry smile: "Brother Kai, are you kidding? Let's put aside the final quality of this movie. , Mr. Hu is a pure newcomer, and the director is also a street director. If a movie has these two conditions at the same time, there will be no precedent for high box office!"
"No one thought "Love Apartment" would be a hit before it aired," Shen Kai said.
"It's a TV series. It's different from a movie. The online channels are also very different. You don't know how fierce competition is in theaters. As long as the performance is not good on the first day of release, it's hard to say whether there will be movies scheduled for the next day!" Jin Xin He curled his lips and said: "What's more, Feng Haibo's incident not only ruined his own reputation, but also affected our drama. Many viewers have already had a preconceived bad impression of our drama. In this kind of situation, Under these circumstances, it is basically impossible for this movie to win high box office!"
"Also, Tengfei Entertainment's "I'm Not an Angel" is obviously directed at our film "The Richest Man in Xihong City". If the two films really collide in schedule, our death will be even worse!"
Jin Xin added another sentence, and it could be heard from his words that he already had the answer in his mind about whether to stay or leave. However, he was currently on the crew of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and it was not easy to just leave. .
