Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty Eight: All Lives Are Not Discounted
"I……"
Xu Jie was depressed. He did know about this before. He kept silent earlier just because he wanted to fish in troubled waters. Anyway, it was not him. When Fang Jing came to visit, he would go to the company and it was none of his business.
Who knows that Fang Jing doesn't play according to common sense, but now he has identified him and refuses to let him go, insisting that he pay appearance fees.
It's not enough if he doesn't pay. If he continues to make trouble without giving money, things will be a mess. If he continues to make trouble, he will really quit.
"Okay, I'll give you the money, but forget about the promotion. My contract won't expire for more than half a year. Isn't it a bit bad to help you promote the movie at this time?"
Xu Jie's heart was bleeding when he said this. Several million dollars were gone in an instant. If he had known that he would have called Fang Jing to explain clearly, he would not have suffered such a heavy bleeding.
The money can be given, but promoting the movie is really difficult for him. Originally, the two companies were competitors, but he also helped Nanjing promote the movie, and it was okay to pass it back to the company.
I don’t know how many people pointed their fingers at him and called him a white-eyed wolf.
Knocking lightly on the car window with his fingers, Fang Jing said with a smile: "You have to leave. What are you afraid of? From now on, we will have no contact with each other and no business relations. What can they do to you?"
"Besides, this is because they were unkind in the first place, so don't blame you for being unjust. It's settled, when will you help me repost the movie promotion, when will I remove the hot search, and hang up!"
"Fuck you!" Hearing the beeping sound from his cell phone, Xu Jie was so angry that he wanted to smash his cell phone.
Fang Jing is forcing him to die and break up with the company. This is not a matter of never getting along with each other. Getting back together and breaking up is completely different from offending someone and running away, right?
well!
After a few minutes, Xu Jie sighed, sat in front of the computer and retweeted Fang Jing's new movie Flash Girl on Weibo.
"It's a very good movie! Everyone must go and support it!"
God knows how much effort it took Xu Jie to type out these few, and his fingers were trembling.
"Let me go, haven't these two people never dealt with each other? After seeing each other for a long time, Xu Jie actually promoted Fang Jing's movie."
"Lao Xu, you're missing, bah! Weren't you kidnapped by Fang Jing?"
"As we all know, Xu Jie and Fang Jing have a bad relationship. This time, when he was in crisis, he was able to put aside his prejudices and help Fang Jing promote it. This shows that this movie is really good."
"Even Xu Jie helped promote the movie regardless of previous suspicions. It seems that Fang Jing's movie is not bad this time. I'm going to give it a try. I will definitely watch it when the time comes."
In the car, Fang Jing chuckled and commented on Weibo, "Don't talk nonsense. Brother Xu and I have always been good partners. We often chat on the phone."
"Brother Xu, the future is bright, come on!"
The director of the artist department of Xu Jie's company looked at the interaction between the two people and his veins popped out with anger.
"Hey Xu Jie, I asked you why you didn't renew your contract. It turns out that you have found your next home. Nanjing is indeed a good place."
"Want to leave? Humph! How can it be so easy? How can you leave without spending thirty to fifty million?"
The contract expires in half a year, but the company will not arrange work for Xu Jie or allow him to take over the job during this half year. Just being in cold storage for half a year is enough for him.
If you want to leave early, you can pay the penalty first. It was set at more than 100 million before, but after so many years, the contract is about to expire, so I will pay 30 to 50 million.
Don’t give it? If you don’t give it, I’ll keep you in storage for half a year. If you have the guts, go out again after half a year and see how popular you are.
What? If you want to litigate, you can. Those lawyers in the legal department earn millions a year. Do you think it’s just a show?
Fang Jing took the car back to the city. As soon as he returned to the hotel, he received a call from Xu Jie, who was crying for his father and mother, and burst into tears.
"Mr. Fang, you have hurt me. Now the company wants me to pay compensation, more than 30 million yuan. The most terrible thing is that I can no longer sing my own songs, including famous songs."
After all, they had a falling out. Xu Jie explained Fang Jing's threats to him, but the company didn't listen at all. They originally planned to give him a break, but now they had the opportunity.
His songs were all bought by the company and written by others. None of his songs are his own independent copyright. Now he wants to take them all back and he can't even sing them.
As long as he dares to open his mouth, what is waiting for him is a lawyer's letter.
"Calm down, don't panic." Fang Jing took out the computer from the room and went to the sofa. He opened the notebook with one hand and answered the phone with the other. "You only have a few famous songs, so just take them."
"Pfft!" Xu Jie wanted to vomit blood, but after waiting for so long, Fang Jing said this to him.
Of course you are not afraid of the fact that you have so many songs. Do you also know that I only have a few famous songs?
Fang Jing searched for information on the Internet, and after a while he said with a joking smile: "By the way, did they also take away your song Yibaitiandi? Didn't you write the lyrics, music and music yourself?"
"Ahem! It's true that I wrote lyrics and composed music, but the arrangement, post-production, album release, etc. are all done by the company. These things naturally belong to the company."
"As you know, I was not popular at that time, and I was a low-key person. All the copyrights were given to the company, so I had no choice but to do whatever they said."
"Understood! In other words, this song now completely belongs to the company? It has nothing to do with you?"
"Well, you can say that." Xu Jie sighed deeply, feeling distressed, "I don't care about other songs, but this one is a pity. It is my hard work, my child, do you understand?"
This song has brought him 40 to 50 million yuan in income, not only money but also fame, not to mention children, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is parents.
As long as Ge is around, he will have a chance to turn around and make a comeback at any time. Who hasn't made a connection after being around for so many years?
But if there is no song left, he will just sing. Even if people are willing to invite him to a variety show, why would he do it? Hold a microphone and sing happily?
Fang Jing burst into laughter, "We are both creators of nature. I understand this feeling. Do you think this will work? I'll write a song and sell it to you. Don't worry, it's on the same level as your song "Bowing to Heaven and Earth."
"Really?" Xu Jie's heart skipped a beat.
Does a crying phone call come with such a good thing? Who doesn't know that Fang Jing hasn't written songs for a long time, and there are no prices on the market. Someone offered him 8 million to write, but he didn't even write.
He wanted to have Fang Jing's song, but he was worried about what this shabby company would do, so he could leave whenever he wanted.
With his current popularity and energy, it is not impossible for him to reach a higher level in his career.
"You're not worth my money yet. If you don't want me to give you a message, forget it." Fang Jing's tone on the phone was a bit impatient.
"Yes, yes." After agreeing, Xu Jie was a little hesitant. He shot a few scenes to add insult to injury and offered him a sky-high price. He was certain that he would not buy it.
"Well, Mr. Fang, you know my current situation. After paying liquidated damages and endorsements, I don't have much money left. The price is not..."
"Don't worry, it's market price." Fang Jing said righteously, "Do I look like the kind of person who takes advantage of others' misfortune? Ten million, no discount on life."
10 million, still alive without any discounts, fuck you.
Xu Jie felt like his blood was rising and his eyes were red. Why is the song so expensive? It doesn't cost so much to set every word with diamonds, does it?
