Chapter 96 The Unspoken Rules of the Entertainment Industry
Unknowingly, Ye Ming has grown from a newcomer to such a point, which is simply impressive.
Hong Fei nodded and said: "In that case, I can also make the decision and give you a 20% commission. Even if you are a top superstar, the commission on your record is only 20%.
However, you don’t need the company to worry about your albums and songs, nor do you need the company to worry about the recording. That is to say, the company needs to do the later things, so that we can give you a 20% commission."
You must know that the contract signed by Ye Ming is actually a 10% commission. This is because Ye Ming is the head of China's niche and is considered the backbone of the company.
For ordinary newcomers, most of them fluctuate around 5%. For a group, the commission has to be divided equally among the members.
Hong Fei did this to win over Ye Ming, because he felt that Ye Ming was worthy of the company's investment in wooing him.
The next afternoon, Ye Ming received a call, rushed to the company, and changed the contract. Then Hong Feicai said that there was no one named Tang Wei in any modeling agency in Beijing.
There are only two situations like this. One is that the person named Tang Wei has not joined any formal model company and is a wild model. Otherwise, she is not a model at all, otherwise this result will not happen.
This result made Ye Ming very disappointed. Tang Wei was obviously a good candidate for Brother Dao's wife. However, since he couldn't find it, in such a situation, it was hard to say anything.
.
In addition, Hong Fei told him that he would go to a modeling agency tomorrow to select people. Naturally, he would be looking for models for the MTV shoot. As for Ye Ming's level, it was obviously impossible to find those stars to speak for him. In this case, the cost would be
It's gone up quite a bit.
Naturally, it would be more appropriate to find some unknown models.
In the company dormitory, Li Dachuan was still on the set and had not come back. At this time, Sister Fang Fang banged on the door.
Ye Ming opened the door with blurred eyes and saw Sister Fang Fang with an angry look on her face. He seemed to have thought of something and quickly invited people in with a smile.
Who would have known that Sister Fang Fang said without any politeness: "Look at your virtues. Put on your clothes and follow me to Tianyu Model Company to find actors. I'll give you five minutes. Don't wait if you're late."
With that said, Sister Fang Fang directly threw a bag over and went downstairs angrily.
In fact, Ye Ming also understood very well why Sister Fang Fang was angry.
He quickly changed his clothes. At this time, Ye Ming went downstairs and got into the car. He said with a smile: "Sister Fang Fang, don't be angry. It was what I did wrong, but no matter how you look at it, this matter is finally okay.
We’ve talked about it, haven’t we?”
Sister Fang Fang snorted and said obviously very unhappy: "I am your exclusive agent. You always have to discuss such a big matter with me, right? But in the end, you bypassed me and directly negotiated with me."
Looking for Brother Fei, what do you mean? Do you take me as an agent in your eyes?"
This is what makes Sister Fang Fang most angry.
She has no sense of existence. As Ye Ming's agent, she has almost no sense of existence at all.
Ye Ming asked back: "I'll tell you then. Can you get me a commission of twenty?"
This sentence left Sister Fang Fang speechless. To be honest, she really didn't have this ability.
In the entertainment industry, apart from the top superstars who run their own companies and are their own bosses, the ones who generally get higher commissions are those singer-songwriters.
Because the copyright of these people's lyrics and music is generally in their own hands, the maximum commission they can take is only 25%.
Twenty percent, for a newcomer, there is simply no such condition.
Even Sister Fang Fang, who is well-informed in the industry, does not understand the company's generosity.
Will the company be so generous? This is simply impossible.
After hearing Ye Ming's rhetorical question, Sister Fang Fang hesitated for a moment before saying, "You are lucky this time. I don't know why the company gave you such good conditions. This is treatment close to that of a top superstar.
The company has spent a lot of money now.”
Although Sister Fang Fang is young, she is a well-informed agent on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. She has never seen a company give such good treatment to a newcomer.
A storm has finally been temporarily alleviated. Under such a situation, in fact, this is more good news for Sister Fang Fang. If the artist's income is high, then her manager's income is also
Said it would be higher.
At that moment, Sister Fang Fang said angrily: "Forget it, I have a lot of money this time. Please forgive you once. If anything happens next time, you must tell me in advance. I am your exclusive agent and I want to maximize your interests."
of."
In fact, the current weather is still a bit cold in spring. The cold wind is blowing. Although it is not a bone-chilling wind, it is still far from the cold willow wind blowing on the face.
When he arrived at Tianyu Model Company, Ye Ming felt the warmth from the central air conditioner coming, and he finally felt a little warm.
At this time, someone tapped him on the shoulder.
Looking back, Fan Binbin was standing there playfully, wearing a big white hat, covering her hair tightly.
Obviously, he just opened the door and walked in.
Ye Ming suddenly smiled and said, "Binbin, why are you here?"
Fan Binbin said with some dejection: "Actually, I came to take some cases and signed a contract with Aunt Qiongyao's company. However, I haven't had any opportunities to perform recently. No, I have friends who I met at Tianyu Model Company.
Their leader, I'm wondering if I can take some cases from here. Brother Ming, what are you doing here?"
Ye Ming thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a satisfied smile: "You came just in time, aren't I going to release an album? I need to shoot a few MTV songs, and I need a few heroines, so I asked my agent
I'm just here to find actors. If you have nothing to do, just shoot MTV with me."
Fan Binbin immediately beamed, nodded sharply and said: "That's a good relationship. I was still thinking that if you want to release a record, you must make an MTV. I was planning to find you in the past two days, but I didn't expect to meet you here.
Okay. I'm so lucky. Okay, I'll be living with you these days. Brother Ming, what are you going to film? I want to be the heroine of "Blue and White Porcelain", which is a song that has been on the Spring Festival Gala.
"
[Blue and white porcelain]? Ye Ming thought for a while, Fan Binbin's ancient costume had to be said to be very beautiful, with the lively flavor of the Jiangnan water town.
Therefore, Ye Ming nodded and said: "Well, it's you. Follow me and you will have meat to eat."
At this time, Sister Fang Fang's sharp voice spread, and the entire corridor was instantly filled with a shocking and angry voice.
After Ye Ming heard this, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with this matter. Sister Fang Fang got angry. If it hadn't been that someone had provoked Sister Fang Fang to get angry, she would never have made such a sharp voice.
At this time, Ye Ming, who was standing outside the morning corridor, ignored him and rushed into the office.
And now, three people are sitting in the office of Tianyu Model Company.
What Ye Ming didn't expect was that among the three people, except Sister Fang Fang, the remaining one actually said that he was very familiar with them.
George, Mao Duoduo’s agent George, this guy comes here, it’s like we are enemies.
The middle-aged man sitting behind the desk is obviously the boss of Tianyu Model Company.
The middle-aged man said very apologetically: "Miss Fang Fang, I'm very sorry. Originally, Lily from our company agreed to shoot the MTV for you, but I didn't expect that Mr. Mao Duoduo and the others came earlier than you.
All we can do is say sorry
Otherwise, I'll ask Lucy to take pictures for you, Lucy is also a very good model in our company."
At this time, it could be seen that Sister Fang's eyes were fixed on George as if she wanted to eat someone. George simply did not take this kind of provocation seriously.
He is Mao Duoduo's manager, the manager of an A-list celebrity. How could he be afraid of Fang Fang? If Hong Fei comes, he won't let him go.
At this time, after listening to the middle-aged man's words, Sister Fang Fang turned around and said coldly: "Boss Su, when doing business, you have to talk about credibility. Our Yonghua Film and TV cooperation with you Tianyu is not just a day or two."
Okay, don’t fool me. Lily is the best model in your company and has won the national championship.
We made an agreement yesterday, but today you will break your promise and become fat. Do you still want to stay in the industry?"
However, such a threat may have a certain effect for a newcomer, but for someone like Boss Su who has been in the circle for a long time, it is nothing at all.
Therefore, Boss Su smiled lightly and said: "That's right, we agreed on the phone yesterday, and I agreed. If there are no accidents, Lily will give you Yonghua to shoot MTV. However, at that time we
It's just a verbal agreement, not a signed contract.
And I also said that I will try my best to let Lily shoot the MTV for you, but I don’t necessarily say it’s Lily. You are also a member of the circle, so you have to understand my difficulties.”
To be honest, for this model to become famous, in addition to participating in model competitions and winning awards, the rest is to co-produce movies with celebrities, such as MTV. If she and Mao Duoduo can co-produce MTV, this will be a shortcut to becoming famous.
This is the unspoken rule of the entertainment industry. If you are famous, more people will naturally follow you.
Ye Ming's fame is obviously not as good as that of a popular star like Mao Duoduo.
As a businessman, Boss Su naturally understands the key. That's why he turned his back on Fang Fang and refused to admit it."
At this time, Ye Ming also knew that things must not be violated. Since the contract has not been signed, there is nothing you can do if they regret it.
At that moment, Ye Ming grabbed Sister Fang Fang and said, "Sister Fang Fang, forget it, you will learn a lesson. I have already found someone to shoot MTV. There is no need for us to waste time here."
Fan Binbin is an actor with quite high plasticity. Even though he is young, he has great potential.
Sister Fang Fang didn't want to sit here and embarrass herself. She knew that Mao Duoduo's manager George was here and would never let him go. She snorted and stood up and said, "Boss Su, I hope you don't regret it."
When he arrived in the corridor, Ye Ming was about to leave, but he suddenly saw a little girl wearing a goose-yellow velvet jacket standing there quietly, with eyes as pure as a clear spring and as bright as stars.
Ye Ming's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked over and said, "You are also a model of this company."
The girl raised her head in shock and said, "I'm not, I'm accompanying a friend to apply for a model. Are you Ye Ming?"
