After all, Maggie Lee’s status is here. Even though she has stopped acting for two years, her previous achievements in the acting career cannot be faked. If a first-line artist like her with five Best Actress titles joins Summit Entertainment, then give Summit Entertainment
The influence of entertainment is huge.
In addition, Chen Feng also has the idea of further expanding his own entertainment company, and he also needs a first-line artist with a high status and the ability to handle the situation.
Chen Feng had previously thought about whether he could sign Li Manyu, but first of all, her status was really high, and secondly, Chen Feng was not the kind of person to intimidate and induce, so he just thought about it and didn't plan to put it into practice.
.
As a result, Li Manyu actually took the initiative to tell him that she was willing to sign a contract with his company. This was really an unexpected surprise for Chen Feng.
"Wait a moment, I'll go find you now." Chen Feng then said.
Since he plans to sign a big star like her, there is no need to avoid the issue of being secretly photographed by paparazzi reporters.
Chen Feng immediately called Liu Jianguo and Liu Jianguo upstairs and drove to the company.
It's almost eight o'clock in the evening. Under normal circumstances, there are not many people here at Summit Entertainment Company. Even the security guards have gone off work.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, paparazzi reporters will not appear here at this time. But Chen Feng cannot guarantee whether there are paparazzi watching outside the community where Chen Feng currently lives.
Now the office space where Summit Entertainment Company is located has expanded a lot. The entire first floor of the residential building where it was originally located was bought by Chen Feng. After being opened up, it was all used as the current office space. The total area is more than 800 square meters.
With such a large office space, of course there cannot be too few people in the company, which is why Chen Feng expanded the number of entertainers this time. The most important thing for Summit Entertainment at present is to make movies. In addition to making movies, which is his old profession
In addition, it is also because making movies makes money quickly, at least for Chen Feng.
Li Manyu drove here by herself. The car is now parked at the gate of Summit Entertainment Company. It is a relatively ordinary Volkswagen with only a few hundred thousand yuan.
Originally, the car had turned off and turned off the lights. After Chen Feng's car drove over, her car started and turned on the lights.
Chen Feng quickly got out of the car and walked over. Li Manyu didn't let Chen Feng come over to open the door. She quickly turned off the car. Then before Chen Feng came over, she opened the door and got out of the car. She stood
Wait for Chen Feng to come by the car.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Chen Feng's attitude was very polite and he reached out to shake her hand.
"You're welcome, I haven't been here long." Li Manyu also shook hands with him graciously.
"Then let's go in and talk."
Chen Feng made a gesture of invitation to her, and then took out the key to the company door to open it.
Although it's not too late now, both of them are public figures, so it's not easy to go to some coffee shop or teahouse to talk at a fixed location.
Therefore, Chen Feng had already told her on the phone on the way here, and the two went into the company to discuss it in detail.
Li Manyu did not hesitate and followed Chen Feng into the gate of Summit Entertainment Company. Neither Liu Jianguo nor Li Dongwei followed him in. They both stayed in the car.
Chen Feng turned around and saw that they did not follow him. After a moment of hesitation, he did not specifically ask them to follow him.
Anyway, he walked and stood up straight, so he wasn't worried about spending the night with Li Manyu alone.
But things that should be avoided should be avoided. Therefore, Chen Feng did not take Li Manyu to his office or conference room this time. Instead, he sat down directly in the lobby near the company gate and front desk to entertain guests.
There are sofas and chairs here, which were originally used as a temporary place to entertain guests.
Li Manyu was somewhat satisfied when she saw that Chen Feng did not take her to go inside, but chose to meet the guests here. Chen Feng's caution was obviously correct. Otherwise, even if she didn't care very much, this late at night, she
After all, it was not good for a married woman to be alone in a room with her.
After Chen Feng asked Li Manyu to sit down on the sofa, he went to the front desk to get two bottles of drinks and put them on the coffee table.
"Sorry, this is all we have here for now. Don't mind."
"It's okay. I'm not thirsty."
Chen Feng was polite to her again, sat down directly on the sofa opposite her, and asked: "Sister Manyu, I'm curious, how did you decide to sign a contract with us?"
Li Manyu chuckled when she heard this, and said with a bit of helplessness: "Although I have only been away from acting for two years, there are already some changes in the entertainment industry. And there has never been a script or role that I like and that suits me.
.Actually, I had plans to come back as early as half a year ago, but one thing was that I didn’t have many resources and connections. The other thing was that I didn’t want to sign contracts with companies that were exploiting me. The other thing was that I suddenly announced my marriage that year.
Feihua Entertainment broke up and terminated the contract and fought a lawsuit for more than a year. It can be said that Feihua Entertainment was severely offended. If I want to pay, I will definitely be suppressed and blocked by them. Therefore, even if the few people who followed me in the past
Directors and actors with good relationships don’t dare to help me too obviously, so as not to offend Feihua Entertainment. So, if you sign a contract with me now, you may offend Feihua Entertainment.”
Chen Feng finally understood why she took the initiative to sign a contract with his company. It was mainly because she was secretly banned by her old club, Feihua Entertainment, and of course because he was now the most popular domestic film director and also owned his own entertainment company.
, it’s just that it’s still in its infancy. More importantly, if she signs a contract with him, she will have enough bargaining chips to bargain with him. This will be very beneficial to her comeback.
"I understand. As for Feihua Entertainment, you don't have to worry. Although our Dingfeng Entertainment is still small, we are not afraid of offending other peers."
Seeing the confident expression on Chen Feng's face, Li Manyu couldn't help but nod secretly. It is not unreasonable for Chen Feng to achieve such great achievements at such a young age. First of all, his self-confidence is the key to success.
"Okay. Let me tell you a few of my conditions first. If you can agree, then there will be no problem signing the contract." Li Manyu said straightforwardly. She is such a straightforward person and does not bother to do things that are hypocritical.
.
"Okay, tell me." Chen Feng leaned forward slightly and pretended to listen to her attentively.
Li Manyu was not polite, and then said: "The first condition is that I can only temporarily sign a two-year contract with you, but you have the priority to renew the contract; the second condition is that my share ratio with your company is 82
, I am eight, the company is second; the third one is that I will find my own broker and form my own brokerage team, and the company will pay me 20% of the brokerage team’s fee. The main ones are these three conditions. Specifically, I will let
The lawyer will talk to you in detail. If you agree, I will ask the lawyer to come here tomorrow to talk to you in detail."
Chen Feng thought for a moment and said: "I agree to the two-year contract period, but I don't agree to the eighty-two share ratio. I can give you a seventy-three ratio. Unless you extend the contract period to five years,
It’s possible that the ratio is 80% to 20%. It’s okay for you to set up your own brokerage team, but we won’t share 20% of the cost. If the company is to bear 20% of the cost, then it’s better to have 20% of your brokerage team be provided by the company.
Recruiting for you.”
When Li Manyu heard what Chen Feng said, she couldn't help but frown. When she came over, she thought about Chen Feng's bargaining, but she didn't expect that the other party was so stuck. Of course, the economic benefits of both parties in the relationship are very important, and the broker
The formation of the team is related to her freedom, which is what she cares about most.
After Li Manyu thought for a while, she said: "It is impossible to sign a five-year contract at once. At most, I can only sign with you for three years, and the liquidated damages cannot be higher than 30 million. In this case, with an 82% split, I can barely
I can accept it. As for the brokerage team, you are right, then there is no need for the company to pay for it, it will be borne by me personally."
Chen Feng smiled lightly and said: "It's no problem for you to form and manage your own agency team. But if our company's movie allows you to play the female lead, you must have a share of the agency's share. The ratio is not high, it is 20% of your salary.
,is that OK."
The agent is divided into 20%, plus the company is divided into 20%, the total is 40%. But to be honest, this ratio is not excessive. If she hires a well-known agent in the industry, the sharing ratio will be at least 20%.
For those above 100%, it would even be 40%. This is because she is a first-tier star. For artists below second-tier tier, the agent's share is more than 50%.
Li Manyu just thought about it for a moment and agreed: "Okay. This is no problem."
"Okay. Then we will sign a three-year contract first. The share ratio between you and the company is 82%. If the company introduces work to you, you have to pay an additional 20% share ratio. Your brokerage team is built and managed by yourself.
The general framework is like this, right?"
"Yes." Li Manyu nodded.
"That's no problem. Let your lawyer come here tomorrow and work out the details of the contract with us."
"Okay. I will personally bring my lawyer here tomorrow. Also...can you give me your movie script first? I am very curious about your new movie. The outside world says that you are trying to get this movie.
It’s a prize, is that right?”
Chen Feng smiled and said, "If you don't tell me, I will give you the script of this play. I have already brought it over."
As Chen Feng spoke, he took a document bag he had brought from the side, took out the already printed script from it, and handed it to Li Manyu.
"This "Sweet Honey" is my attempt at love movies and art movies. I did it to win awards. Therefore, box office is secondary, and quality and depth are the most important. The heroine Li Qiao
, she is a woman with rich experience, if you can grasp her role well, I guarantee you can win the grand prize and make the first shot of your comeback."
Li Manyu quickly took over the script and couldn't wait to read it. When she saw the lyrics of "Sweet Honey" written in the beginning, she couldn't help but read it out softly.
"Sweet honey, your smile is so sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze... I can't remember it for a moment
Ah, I’ve seen you in dreams, dreams, dreams…are you writing lyrics?”
At the end of the thought, Li Manyu couldn't help but look up at Chen Feng with some confusion.
Chen Feng smiled and nodded: "Yes, these are the lyrics. The song is called "Sweet Honey". It is the theme song of the movie. I plan to find an established female singer to sing this song."
There is no Teresa Teng in this time and space, and there is no song "Sweet Honey", so Chen Feng plans to find a veteran female singer from the Tang Dynasty in this time and space to sing. It is best to be a veteran singer who is remembered by a generation, even if she is not as good as
With Teresa Teng, it can’t be too different. In this way, this nostalgic movie can increase the sense of immersion for Chinese people in this time and space.
"Oh, who are you going to find?" Li Manyu's mind moved slightly and she couldn't help but ask.
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it yet. This song is a sweet song, so the voice must be thinner and sweeter."
Li Manyu smiled and said: "Isn't Feifei very suitable?"
Chen Feng quickly shook his head and said: "Although her voice is more suitable, she is not a veteran singer. For this song to fit our nostalgic movie, it must be sung by a veteran singer to increase the audience's sense of involvement. The best
Female singers who were popular in the 1980s and 1990s can also be from the 1970s and 1980s."
Li Manyu nodded and said: "If you put it like that, I understand. From the 1970s to the 1990s, there were many popular female singers with very good voices. But the most popular ones are the ones that are most respected by everyone and remembered by generations.
It was Teacher Deng Xiaoli and Deng. The songs she sang are still sung by the public, and several love songs like "Sweet Honey" were covered by many singers later."
When Chen Feng originally wrote the script of "Sweet Honey", he thought about letting a veteran female singer from this time and space sing the song "Sweet Honey". Then he checked some veteran female singers of the Tang Dynasty, among whom was Deng Xiaoli, who was indeed a great singer.
A veteran female singer familiar to generations of people in the Tang Dynasty, she can be said to be the most popular female singer and a national treasure in the 1970s and 1980s. However, she has retired long ago and is already over 60 years old. She is not available on the Internet.
As for the current news, I don’t know how her health is now. Chen Feng has no chance to contact her.
Chen Feng nodded and said: "You are right, but I don't know her at all, and I don't know how to contact her. Even if I contact her, I don't know her current physical condition. Will she be willing to sing this song?"
Li Manyu couldn't help laughing and said: "What a coincidence. I happen to know how to contact Teacher Deng, because her granddaughter and I are classmates, and we have a good relationship, and we are in touch from time to time. If you believe me, you can first send this song to
Give me the music score, and then my classmate will give it to Teacher Deng to convey your meaning."
Chen Feng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, and said quickly: "That's great. I can print out the score for you now. Just wait."
As he said this, Chen Feng was about to get up. However, he was quickly stopped by Li Manyu: "Don't be in such a hurry. You can just send me an email later. Anyway, your score will not be sent to Teacher Deng until tomorrow day at the earliest."
"Okay. You really helped me a lot this time. This song is very important to the movie. It can be said that it runs through the entire movie. It would be the best if Teacher Deng Xiaoli sings it."
Li Manyu smiled and said: "Listen to what you said, even if I haven't read the script yet, I know that this must be a good movie."
