Two hundred and ninth chapter fifteen million a year
Peng Hu asked his assistant to report the traffic situation of the Douyin platform.
The assistant took the report form and said: "Since last month, our platform traffic has been declining. Although in the next ten days, students will be on vacation and their free time will increase, but compared with the same period, we still have a decline.
About 4%, the biggest reason is our opponent, Chopsticks Video!"
The assistant clicked on the ppt and asked everyone to look at the projector: "Please see, Chopsticks Video started last month, and their platform traffic was almost the same as ours. Until the beginning of this month, it officially surpassed ours, plus
They invited many celebrities, and this effect greatly increased the publicity of Chopstick Hands."
"Today, our Douyin has lagged nearly 6% of the traffic of Chopsticks Video. The chairman has spoken. If the operations department does not come up with a solution, this year's year-end bonus will be greatly reduced."
As soon as these words came out, all the employees present were surprised.
They discussed it one after another.
Peng Hu looked at them all talking nonsense and slapped the table: "Don't say it in private, say it one by one!"
At this time, a supervisor said: "Director Peng, we can also imitate the chopstick hand video and invite celebrities to create a star effect."
"We have considered this, but Chopsticks Video hired Hu Yanbin. His worth and status are very high. If we want to find a suitable singer, we have to pay at least 30% more remuneration.
"
"Moreover, our Douyin is still in a state of development and requires a lot of funds. If we invite ten or eight stars, the chairman will not approve it."
Another senior employee said: "Director, haven't we worked with Li Yi before? Brother Yi's songs are still very good, and they are also very popular now. We can do it."
Before the employee finished speaking, Peng Hu shook his head again: "The contract we signed with Li Yi is about to be terminated. It's all my fault. Of course I don't think highly of Li Yi. I only signed the contract for a few months."
"Then we can find him to cooperate again. It's better to be experienced than to be new. Since we have already cooperated with Brother Yi once, I think he will agree if the remuneration is reasonable."
Peng Hu thought for a while, nodded, and then looked at his assistant: "Go, help me contact Li Yi's agent, see if they have time, and make an appointment with them to talk."
"Okay." The assistant responded and walked out immediately.
This meeting lasted for a long time, and until it was almost over, a plan had not yet been discussed.
There was no other way, so Peng Hu had to break up the meeting.
After Zhang Manfen learned that Douyin wanted to cooperate with Li Yi again, she called Li Yi.
After hearing this, Li Yi smiled and said: "Sister Fen, I told you that after the contract is terminated, they will definitely ask me to re-sign."
"Let's see what you can do. Okay, what do you mean now? Do you want to re-sign the contract?" Zhang Manfen asked Li Yi.
Li Yi thought of Hu Yanbin's comment on his song in the Chopsticks Live broadcast room two days ago, and said: "Sign, of course you have to sign, but"
"The signing fee cannot be less, and you should get what you deserve."
Zhang Manfen smiled, and after getting Li Yi's intention, she said: "Then I will try to help you get the most satisfactory price."
"No, Sister Fen, let me go with you this time. I have something to talk to Douyin's management." Li Yi suddenly suggested.
When Zhang Manfen heard this, she thought it was not a good thing: "Don't make trouble. This time we are going to discuss something."
Li Yi couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister Fen, do I look like the kind of unreasonable person?"
"Okay, let's meet at the Douyin headquarters. I'll start from the company." Zhang Manfen said worriedly.
After packing her things, Li Yi was ready to go out.
Douyin's headquarters is in the city center, so Li Yi and others arrived quickly.
At the front desk, Peng Hu's assistant said respectfully: "Welcome Mr. Li Yi to visit Douyin. Our Director Peng is already waiting for you in the conference room."
Li Yi nodded, and then introduced Zhang Manfen: "This is my agent, Sister Fen. You must have met her before, right?"
"Yes, I have worked with Sister Fen once before, and I learned a lot from her." The assistant was very talkative, and everyone praised her.
The assistant led Li Yi, Zhang Manfen and others into the conference room.
Peng Hu, who was sitting in the conference room, immediately stood up after seeing Li Yi and others, and said with a smile: "I am very glad that Mr. Li Yi came to Douyin as a guest in person."
"Are you Director Peng? Hello, Director Peng." Li Yi shook hands in a friendly manner.
Peng Hu sighed: "I saw Li Yi very handsome on the screen before, but this time I saw him in real life, I didn't expect him to be even more handsome than the camera!"
"Director, thank you." Li Yi immediately introduced Zhang Manfen: "This is my agent. She helped me handle the previous contract."
"I know that Sister Fen is also well-known in the industry." Director Peng Hu immediately welcomed her: "Sit down, sit down quickly."
Peng Hu asked his assistant to pour a glass of water for Li Yi and the others, but he directly pointed out the topic: "That's it, Mr. Li Yi, our previous three-month contract period has expired.
Mr. Yi is very satisfied and hopes to cooperate with Mr. Li Yi again."
"There is no problem in cooperating." Li Yi smiled, "After all, I have promoted my own movies and songs on Douyin before, but this is just the endorsement fee."
Peng Hu knew what Li Yi was most worried about, so he took out the contract: "As for the signing fee, we are absolutely sincere and very satisfied!"
Li Yi lowered his head and looked at the contract. When he saw the contract, it said, "The signing fee is 10 million and the term is one year."
Zhang Manfen also saw this number and was speechless for a moment.
Is this guy playing a word game by co-authoring this?
Li Yi then smiled, shook his head and said: "Director Peng, I signed for two million for three months before, but now you have ten million for one year. It seems like a lot, but I still have passed the college entrance examination in mathematics.
"
"It's just a little bit more. What do you mean by sincerity? I can't feel it anymore."
Although this sentence was a bit tactful, it already made Peng Hu a little embarrassed.
Indeed, he extended the term and increased the signing fee accordingly, but the increase was never much.
"Mr. Li Yi, our funds for Douyin are indeed limited. I guarantee that as long as our Douyin is on track, your endorsement fee will be doubled next year!" Peng Hu promised.
Li Yi thought for a moment, then looked back at Zhang Manfen: "Sister Fen, how much is the signing fee quoted by Chopstick Hands Video?"
Zhang Manfen was stunned for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "Thirteen million a year."
Li Yi pretended to suddenly realize: "It turns out that thirteen million is so much more than three million, then"
Peng Hu gritted his teeth and said, "Wait a minute!"
"We, Douyin, are willing to pay a signing fee of 15 million a year!"
