Chapter 189 The new contract of the two little days
Before the meeting started, Chen Feng got to know the four artists signed by the company, shook hands, and encouraged them. The reason why these four third-tier artists were willing to sign with Meili Jiaren was because they valued the momentum of Meili Jiaren's rise. For Chen Feng, a great
Boss Tang is quite respectful. Even though Chen Feng is very young, they at least have a good attitude.
Chen Feng pays more attention to two actors, the male is named Jonas and the female is named Rebecca. Just looking at their appearance, both of them are handsome men and beautiful women. They are very suitable for the role in "Prada". Jonas is also completely
Can play the role of Miranda's boyfriend in the movie.
Of course, in Chen Feng's revision of the movie, the boyfriend's role has been reduced to a certain extent, especially the intimate scenes with Miranda. At most, they hold hands, and there is absolutely no kissing scene.
Rebecca could also play a supporting role in it.
This is called keeping the money in the family. As for the other two singers, Chen Feng didn't care too much. They saw the success of Tina and Tiffany, so they wanted to copy their success. To a certain extent
, their idea is not wrong.
It's just that Chen Feng doesn't want to waste the few English songs he can remember in his memory on them. Unless he can recall all the English songs he heard in his previous life in the future.
"The main purpose of this meeting is to let everyone meet and communicate. The other thing is that the company has a movie project. The initial investment is 10 million US dollars. If nothing happens, both Jonas and Rebecca will participate.
, are all supporting roles. In addition, Tiffany and Tina’s albums will also be officially prepared. All departments must fully cooperate with their promotion work."
Sitting in the main seat, Chen Feng gave the opening remarks first. When they heard that the company was going to invest in a movie worth tens of millions of dollars, everyone except Laurent and Lisa, who already knew about it, suddenly became excited.
A movie worth tens of millions of dollars is already a big production for their small company. After all, they have invested in several film and television series before, but the total investment has never exceeded ten million dollars.
They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the Tang Dynasty was still rich. This investment amounted to tens of millions of dollars. Trelawen then said: "Next, let me talk about the company's main work plan for the next step."
Trelawen then explained the company's work plan, which mainly focused on three points: film project establishment and preparation, Tiffany and Tina's album preparation and production, and some work adjustments in various departments.
After Trelawn said this, Lisa also made a speech, mainly about the work arrangements of the entertainment department that she was in charge of.
After the three company leaders finished speaking, they announced that the meeting was adjourned. However, both Tina and Tiffany stayed and continued to have a small meeting with Chen Feng and the others.
In addition to discussing their album, there was also the matter of changing the contract between the two. Although Chen Feng had been optimistic about them before, the sudden popularity of the two now, and not just ordinary popularity, was still beyond his expectation.
Especially Tina, who has the same style and future as Rihanna in her previous life. This was obviously underestimated by Chen Feng before, so the contract only had a signing bonus of 5 million US dollars.
Although Tiffany has a liquidated damages of up to 20 million US dollars, it is not very safe. According to the information provided by Lisa, many brokerage companies have contacted the two of them. Rihanna can't tell what she is thinking, but
Tiffany has proposed many times that she wants to change the agent assigned to her by the company. She wants to find a replacement agent herself. When talking to Lisa several times, she has expressed the intention to change the contract.
Therefore, Lisa and Traen's advice is to sign new contracts with them and increase the liquidated damages before producing new albums for them, especially Rihanna's.
Of course, it is also necessary to increase their share ratio in the corresponding new contract.
"This is the new contract prepared by the company for you. Take a look at it. If you have any questions, you can ask us now." Lisa took out two contracts and handed them to Tiffany and Tina respectively. This contract
It was the result of discussions between Chen Feng and his three company leaders.
It's just that Tiffany and Tina obviously didn't expect to discuss the new contract under such circumstances, and they were talking about it together, so they were a little at a loss.
Tina first said: "I am actually very satisfied with the previous contract. I am willing to keep 73% of it. As for the liquidated damages, I am also willing to increase it."
When she said this, several people couldn't help but be stunned. Laurent and Lisa couldn't help but look at the boss Chen Feng.
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "The liquidated damages will definitely be increased. In addition, the term will also be extended. It was three years before, and now it is five years. The company will split it 40-60 with you. If you don't want to, you can continue the old contract, but
I will not personally participate in the production of the new album."
Speaking of this, he also looked at Tiffany and said: "The content of your contract is similar to Tina's. You can take a look at it first. If you have any questions, you can ask them on the spot. If you can't make a decision right away, you can go back
Discuss it with your family. But if you don’t sign this contract, you can’t take it back.”
Tiffany looked a little unnatural and said: "If the number of years is five years, I think it is a bit long."
Chen Feng shook his head directly and said: "Five years is the minimum period. You should know very well that it is the company that really made you popular. The contract of the previous three years was a bit short. I can only say that I underestimated your development potential. But if you want
If the company continues to favor you, you must sign a long-term contract and increase the liquidated damages. Otherwise, our company may make wedding clothes for other companies. I hope you can understand."
Chen Feng's words are very straightforward, without many twists and turns. In addition to his own personality, it is also because people here in the United States like to talk things out.
Tina didn't speak, but just looked down at the contract. Tiffany smiled slightly awkwardly and nodded, then glanced at Tina, and also looked down at the contract.
A few minutes later, Tiffany asked hesitantly: "Boss, the liquidated damages of 50 million US dollars are too high. In addition, I hope that the company can produce at least one album for me every year, and I want to add this as well."
Go in."
Chen Feng asked: "Then how much liquidated damages do you think is appropriate?"
Tiffany quickly said: "I think the previous liquidated damages of 20 million US dollars are already too high."
Chen Feng shook his head and said unceremoniously: "Before, you were just a small internet celebrity, not even a formal singer. But now many media describe you and Tina as little divas with a promising future.
The liquidated damages will naturally increase. In fact, the liquidated damages of US$50 million are not very high. You should believe in your future worth. Unless you have no confidence in yourself or our company."
Tiffany lowered her head and said, "That's not what I meant. It's just... I have to go back and discuss it with my family."
"Okay. No problem. You can discuss it with your family after you go back. It's best to give the company an answer tomorrow."
"Then I'll take my leave first." Tiffany stood up, nodded to Chen Feng and the others, then turned and left the conference room.
After several people watched Tiffany leave, Chen Feng asked Tina again: "What about you? What do you think of this contract?"
Tina shook her head directly and said: "I have no objection. I can sign this contract now."
When she said this, Chen Feng and the other two people couldn't help but be stunned.
Lisa specifically asked: "Tina, have you read this contract? Do you really have no objections?"
Although this contract can be regarded as a standard contract, it obviously has more responsibilities than rights for the artist. As Tiffany said just now, one of the terms is that there is no promise to give her an album a year. So, if
If the company wanted to hide her, she couldn't.
On the contrary, it stipulates that they must unconditionally obey some business activities arranged by the company and other terms.
But now Tina only saw it once and immediately agreed to sign the contract. This is a bit difficult for Lisa to understand. You know, Tina's popularity and weight in the entertainment industry are now even higher than Tiffany's.
After all, her "Little Umbrella" has been the singles champion for six consecutive weeks.
"Yes, I have read it all. I have no objection. I think the liquidated damages of US$50 million are not high. I also believe in the boss's vision. It was the boss who held me in his arms in the first place. I know how to be grateful, and I know even more about the boss.
It won’t hurt me.”
What Tina said was very sincere, but also very smart. Everyone loves to hear this kind of flattery.
Even though Chen Feng was indifferent, he was very impressed by what she said and at the same time blushed a little. Although the details of this contract were not drawn up by him personally, the core content was his inspiration and decision. For example, the five-year term,
The liquidated damages of US$50 million are divided into 40 and 60 parts.
"Tina, thank you for your trust in me. Since you have decided to sign this contract, there is no reason why I should not help you further. Don't worry, your achievements will not be low in the future. Now those entertainment media are just complimenting you.
I call you the little queen, but I think you will become a real queen in three years at most, or even less than three years. Do you have this confidence?"
Tina suddenly said excitedly: "As long as you have confidence, boss, I have confidence. I will listen to the boss."
Sure enough, she is a really smart woman. Many times, it is not unreasonable to be wise and foolish. Tiffany does seem to be very smart, but she obviously lost a lot of impression points in comparison with Tina.
Chen Feng smiled and said: "I must have confidence in you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have offered you a liquidated damages of US$5 million in the first place, but I have to admit that I still underestimated your potential."
Tina said with gratitude: "The main thing is that the songs you wrote are good, boss. And you personally directed my MTV, and the filming was also very good."
Chen Feng nodded and smiled: "I admit this. But the premise is that this song is very suitable for you. Otherwise, if someone else sings it. For example, if Tiffany sings this song "Little Umbrella", you will definitely not be the one to sing it.
The effect. She is personally not suitable to sing this song."
Of course Chen Feng is right about this. The singer chooses the song, but the song also chooses the singer. Some unknown songs will become popular if they are sung by another singer. This is the reason.
Tina nodded and said: "I want to sign this contract now. Is that okay? In addition, I also want to start recording my album as soon as possible."
Chen Feng asked: "Why don't you go back and discuss it with your family first?"
Tina shrugged and said: "They are all in Detroit. And after I turned eighteen, I have already lived independently. I can make the final decision on my own affairs."
"Okay then, just sign it. Teralon, you sign it."
"Okay, boss."
Tralan was also very happy at this time. After all, Tina has a higher commercial value than Tiffany, and is the company's cash cow. And he now has company shares as dividends.
Soon, Tina signed it. One copy for each side.
Tina couldn't wait to say: "Boss, how many songs can you write for me for my album? Can you participate in the production or the filming of MTV?"
After Chen Feng thought for a while, he said: "At the moment, I can only promise you at least one song, and at most two. MTV will see the situation. If there is time, I will film it for you. Otherwise, I will also write the script,
Leave it to others to take pictures."
"Okay then. I hope to start recording my album as soon as possible. At present, I have also composed two songs. I can show them to you when I get back. If you think it is okay, I also want to include them in the album.
"
"Okay. It's rare that you can compose by yourself. You can go back and polish it first, and just bring the score this afternoon or tomorrow morning. In addition, the company has also collected a few songs for you. You can also come and listen to it in the afternoon.
look."
Tina said happily: "Okay, sir. I'll come back in the afternoon."
"Okay. You go out first."
Tina didn't stay any longer, got up, said goodbye to the three of them, and left happily.
After Tina closed the door, Trelawen sighed: "Tina is very smart, smarter than Tiffany. And more reliable. It can be seen that Tina is very grateful and trusts you, the boss. And I also believe in the boss.
You will not treat her badly in the future. On the contrary, Tiffany is a little unstable. Obviously she has some considerations in her heart like terminating the contract with us. I learned about it from her agent before, and there are many record companies and entertainment agencies.
She has been secretly interviewed by people, including Warner and Sony. The current problem may be the $20 million liquidated damages. If these two companies are willing to pay the liquidated damages, I think she may directly terminate the contract with our company.
Already."
Lisa nodded and said: "Yes. Tiffany just felt that boss you were partial to Tina and gave the song "Little Umbrella" to Tina. She felt that this song was better than the song "Let It Be" that you gave her.
"Go" is even better. She is jealous of Tina in her heart, especially since Tina has been suppressing her on the Billboard charts."
Chen Feng had known about this for a long time. It can only be said that Chen Feng had not thought carefully about this matter before. His original decision to praise them was wrong. They were mostly just for fun, and he was anxious to return to China, so he sent them
The two people were praised together. He had no idea that the two female singers in his company were fighting each other fiercely on the charts, and Tina even won.
Originally, he was really more optimistic about Tiffany. And he didn't think that Tina's "Little Umbrella" would always dominate "Let It Go". At most, it would be a competition between you and me, you and me, and Tina's
Fanny definitely had a greater chance of winning. But the result was that "Let It Go" was always suppressed by "Little Umbrella" and could not win the championship.
