Chapter 1249 Loyalty

Ning Hao took out a prepared agreement template from his backpack and handed it to Liu Ye: "Look at this contract, we hope to sign a five-year brokerage contract with you. Within five years, you will All theatrical films you participate in must be films invested or participated in by Makino Impression. You are also obliged to participate in other commercial performing arts activities arranged by us for you, as well as the commercial endorsements we arrange for you. We do not participate in the production of TV dramas. In principle, we do not restrict you from acting in TV dramas invested by other companies, but the premise is that the script and related circumstances of the TV series must be reviewed by us. If we clearly express that we do not want you to act, you need to comply ."

After listening to Liu Ye, he nodded lightly and said, "In other words, Makino Impression signed my film performances and commercial activities. In principle, I still have independent rights for TV dramas and stage plays."

"That's right." Ning Hao smiled and said, "And we won't restrict your development in music. If a record company is willing to sign you and release records for you, we won't interfere."

Liu Ye originally thought that Makino Impression would sign a full contract when signing with an artist, that is, whether it is a film or television drama, a commercial, or even a music album, as long as it is making money, the company is solely responsible for it. Artists who have signed full contracts generally do not have much freedom at all. They are desperately arranged to receive various performances and activities and become the company's cash cow and old scalper.

However, looking at the contract of Muye Technology, it is much looser than he expected, which makes Liu Ye feel a lot more relaxed. He was also faintly worried before, and he wanted to play "Flying Tigers". Makino Impression took this opportunity to put forward very harsh contract requirements, so he could only accept it through gritted teeth, but at present, Muye Technology's contract is completely acceptable to him.

Xie Hao had a question in her heart. She wanted to say it but didn't say it. The contract was in Liu Ye's hands. Liu Ye didn't open it to read it. Although the ratio of 50% to 50% is relatively generous for actors, the company can't directly ask for a few years' sharing contract without paying any cost or giving any promise, which is too insecure. .

This is the case with many artists who have just debuted. They are signed by big companies for several years in one breath, and it is still a purely shared cooperation model. In this way, if the company does not take into account the growth of this artist, he will not be popular all the time. Then his income will not be guaranteed. Don't look at many artists who make millions and tens of millions a year, but there are many artists who have just debuted and can barely eat their stomachs in Yanjing.

Moreover, in this case, the artist's right to speak is also extremely low. If the brokerage company is not satisfied, it can directly hide the artist. The so-called freezing means that all your contracts are in my hands, but I just don't let you Taking any job, not to mention acting in movies and TV shows, even if the barber shop in front of your house opens and invites you to cut the ribbon and sing a song, I won't let you go, it will completely cut off your starship and income, if you dare to come , I will sue you, and at the same time block you with all the resources in the circle, so that you completely cut off the road of acting.

In fact, Liu Ye was a little worried in his heart. For him, dreams are important, but income is also very important. He is willing to sign himself to Muye Impression for the next five years, but his income must be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Xie Hao communicated with Liu Ye with his eyes obscure. Liu Ye's eyes also showed this concern, but Liu Ye was more concerned about this movie and this cooperation. He felt that the sincerity of the other party was so strong. , If he was still struggling with money at this time, it would be a bit unreasonable, so he sighed and blurted out: "Brother Hao, I signed this contract!"

Xie Hao saw that Liu Ye suddenly made a decision, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he was relieved soon. Before he made the decision, he was worried about the gains and losses for him, but when he made the decision, he suddenly had a problem. kind of liberation.

Although Liu Ye resolutely agreed to sign the contract, Ning Hao still saw the worry in their hearts. He first shook hands with Liu Ye and said, "Welcome to Muye Imaging." Then he pointed to Liu Ye didn't have an open contract, and smiled slightly: "Actually, before I came, our President Li deliberately explained to me that in this contract, we have determined an incremental guaranteed income for you. The guaranteed model is 300 yuan in the first year. Ten thousand, 5 million in the second year, 7.5 million in the third year, 10 million in the fourth year and 15 million in the fifth year, that is to say, as long as you sign this contract, in the next five years, we will guarantee the payment Give you 40.5 million income, if your share of income from working in Muye Impression in the past five years is lower than this amount, then we will make up for you according to this amount, if it is higher than this amount, then we will pay according to your actual income."

"Forty million in five years?!" Liu Ye was stunned. In 2003, the remuneration of domestic first-line film actors was in the millions. Even for Hong Kong's first-line celebrities, the RMB was around 10 million, and Li Mu was so generous. He gave himself a guaranteed income of 40 million yuan for five years, which is really an unimaginable amount of wealth! If you want to earn 40 million, then at least the income before sharing must reach 80 million! Even if you can make ten movies in five years, the salary for one movie will reach 8 million, which is very scary!

In fact, Li Mu is also very aware of the value of actors in this year, and also knows that according to normal historical development, it will take at least another ten or eight years for the value of mainland actors to skyrocket, because the value of actors is complementary to the size of the market. In an era that can easily exceed 100 million, it is only logical that an actor's worth reaches 10 million or even tens of millions. Otherwise, the movie itself can't earn 18 million, so how can it give tens of millions to a star? remuneration.

However, having said that, now Li Mu has begun to cultivate the domestic film and television box office market. The Muying ticketing system is a great tool to improve the box office, and "Flying Tigers" will be a start for the Chinese film box office to take off. Next year, "Flying Tigers" "Team" is released, if it can reach more than one billion box office, then the Chinese film industry will start to recover at least five years in advance and enter a period of rapid growth, and by that time, Liu Ye's worth will probably skyrocket, and then he will build a few more. If other movies and reality shows push his worth up, the 40 million guarantee will definitely be earned back.

At this moment, Liu Ye has dispelled all his concerns and excitedly said to Ning Hao, "Brother Hao, thank you and Mr. Li for your appreciation, I am willing to sign in Muye Impression, but the amount of this guaranteed contract is too high. Now, I'm really not sure that I can help the company to make so much money in the next five years, so for the company's consideration, can this amount be discounted in half, even if it is 30% off!"

Liu Ye said that he was very sincere. He felt that the other party was willing to give a guarantee of 40 million. This was the sincerity of 40 million points. The sincerity was enough to support his decision to sign the contract, but he could not accept all the sincerity of the other party, because He knows that he is a few pounds, a few taels, and 40 million. Although he doesn't want to take any responsibility, he really doesn't have the confidence to earn so much. He doesn't want to need the company's subsidy money to make up for himself when his ability is insufficient. lack of ability.

At this time, Ning Hao smiled and said, "The amount is not up to me, it's Mr. Li's decision. He is usually a person who says nothing, but I don't have the ability to persuade him, so I think you shouldn't think too much. Sign a contract first, then calm down and act in every movie of yours in the future, in five years, you will definitely be able to make this money."

Liu Ye still wanted to insist, and Ning Hao hurriedly said, "Look at the details of the contract. If there is no problem, we can sign the contract directly."

Liu Ye nodded. Thinking of his agent, he hesitated again and again, and asked very cautiously, "Brother Hao, I have a small request. I wonder if you can agree."

Ning Hao smiled and said, "Just tell me, I will promise what I can do, and I will say it directly if I can't do it."

Liu Ye said: "I want my current agent to sign in Muye Technology. He is very capable and has a lot of resources. I believe he will definitely create value for the company."

Ning Hao asked, "Then does he have an appointment too?"

Liu Ye shook his head and said, "He doesn't have an artist contract, just a labor contract. He can just resign at any time. Changing companies means changing jobs for him."

Speaking of which, Liu Ye added: "Brother Hao, I have a ruthless request, I hope you must agree!"

Ning Hao said, "You say it."

Liu Ye said: "Brother Lan can get 20% of the company's share for me, and I and the company have 46 points. After calculating, he can get 12% of my salary. If he is willing to come to Muye Technology, his commission must be paid by I'll pay for it myself! If you don't agree to this, I won't let him come."

Ning Hao thought about it for a while, then nodded and said, "OK, since you recognize him so much, I believe he is indeed very capable. If you insist on paying his commission yourself, then I have no objection."

Liu Ye said excitedly, "Then I'll call him now!"

...

At this moment, Wang Lan is eating at home with his wife and children. He is still chatting with his wife about Liu Ye at the dinner table. Wang Lan thinks that Liu Ye has great potential, but he has not been able to find a commercial film that suits him. , so that he is always a little bit closer to the real big red and big purple, it seems like a bottleneck, and he can't break through. This makes Wang Lan also very frustrated, and always feels that because of his lack of ability, he has an inescapable responsibility.

His wife advised him: "Don't ask too much of yourself, it's already very good that Liu Ye has reached today. You see, how many actors of his age can be as good as he is today?"

Wang Lan said with a fiery look in his eyes: "Trust me, he can be better! It's just a good chance!"

In fact, Liu Ye has always missed such a good opportunity in his last life. He is a front-line, but he is a little far from those with strong commerciality, and no one would have thought that the one who finally made him truly break through this bottleneck turned out to be A variety show and his two children.

After speaking, Wang Lan sighed, his eyes dimmed again, and said: "The company is too short-sighted, all they think about is to let Liu Ye play more and win more awards, but they never thought of creating a real business for him. Movies always want to do business without capital, and the format is too small."

At this time, Liu Ye's phone call happened. Wang Lan answered the phone, turned on the speaker, and said with a smile, "I'm talking to your sister-in-law about you."

Wang Lan's wife also smiled and said, "Ye Zi, when are you free to come home for dinner?"

"Okay, sister-in-law." Liu Ye agreed with a smile, and then said, "Brother Lan, I'm calling to tell you something."

Wang Lan said casually, "Go ahead."

Liu Ye said hesitantly: "That's it, I'm going to sign in Muye Impression, because they want me to play a more important role in "Flying Tigers"."

The first half of Liu Ye's sentence made Wang Lan almost jump up in surprise. The anger of being betrayed by his brother was about to be released, but when he heard the second half of his sentence, the anger was completely extinguished by a basin of water.

""Flying Tigers"? Are you telling the truth?!" Wang Lan asked incredulously.

Liu Ye said, "It's true."

"Congratulations!" Wang Lan said from the bottom of his heart: "This is a great opportunity for you! You must take good care of it. I will find a way to help you with the company contract."

"Thank you Brother Lan!" Liu Ye didn't expect Wang Lan to be so interesting, so moved in his heart, he said, "Brother Lan, don't worry, Mr. Ning from Muye Impression has promised to help me solve all contract problems, if the company sue me , they'll help me get it done."

"That's great!" Although Wang Lan felt a special sense of loss and frustration in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yezi, this is a good opportunity, you must seize it!"

"Well..." Liu Ye was silent for a moment, then said again: "Brother Lan, I want you to sign in to Muye Impression as well. Boss Ning has already agreed, it's up to you..."

"Me?!" Wang Lan was speechless in surprise.

"Yeah!" Liu Ye said, "I know you're not doing well in the company, why don't we come to Muye Impression together, you're still my manager, so I'll just act in a down-to-earth way, all my labor You can raise 15 points for the reward, and President Ning said that they will give me a guarantee of 40 million for five years..."

Forty million in five years, for Wang Lan, it is six million in five years, which is about three times higher than his current income level!

Wang Lan couldn't believe it, and blurted out, "Ye Zi, are you kidding me?! Muye Technology gives you a five-year guarantee of 40 million yuan?!"

"Yes!" Liu Ye said with a smile: "Brother Lan, 40 million in five years, come and take me, or I'm afraid I won't be able to carry it alone!"
