Chapter 542 The Little Deer Stood up (Physical Examination Today, Seedling Cultivation Tomorrow, Update Once Every Few Days.)
545, Xiaolu stood up
Tang Wen had long known about Xiaolu's request for Zhou Xu's help. But he was too lazy to ask about it. If he had to ask about such "small things", it would be too annoying.
But Xiaolu was a master of "bullying others with power". Even Tang Wen couldn't help but want to pick up the calculator and give Xiaolu 66666. Of course, Tang Wen also knew that Xiaolu was "doing things" for him.
It can be said that Xiaolu could become the second "Ma Piaoliang" at this time.
After Chen Jia walked out of the boss's office in a daze, she felt that the sky had fallen. The 50 million yuan breach of contract fee was like a mountain that made her breathless.
What artists fear most nowadays is not the problem of resources, but the contract.
The contracts of some artists who just debuted before were simply "inhumane". It was normal to split 20% and 80% of them. If they were artists who took the traffic route, there were many who split 19% and 10% of them.
By the way, the company takes 90%, and once there is any personal reason that causes the company to suffer losses, it needs to pay a huge amount of compensation.
This is the root of many artists. Some artists outside the 18th line have few resources a year and can only rely on a few commercial performances to make a living. The sky-high compensation is also a knife hanging over their heads all the time.
The company is also helpless, because many artists have just debuted and "floated". The company spent so much money and connections to support you, but you have gone to the dead end before you see the harvest. No one can accept it.
So the "compensation contract" has become a rule in the circle, specifically used to check and balance those "floating" artists.
If the previous compensation contract is a knife, then the current accountability is a mortar.
There have been too many accidents with traffic artists recently, and some investment companies in the circle have lost money for their investment departments, so when signing contracts, they now add a "accountability" clause.
At the beginning, many artists objected, but recently no one dares to speak.
After all, with the strict supervision of the China Film and Television Bureau, resources are no longer just snatched, it's just like a bunch of old men and old ladies snatching free eggs.
Don't sign a contract? Okay, it's not like there's no one else if you're replaced. The purpose of an investment company is to make money. If you make it clear that you're going to make them lose money, only a fool would be willing to find you.
So now many artists in the circle are having a hard time.
As for the endorsement circle? Don't even think about it. The endorsements of luxury goods are basically taken away by the MT girlfriends. The brand owners are not stupid either. As long as they can get involved with the people of the WF Group, what's the topic?
As for some high-priced commercial performances, they are basically booked by Ma Piaoliang's Thirteenth Auntie Girlfriend Group. Only some "commercial performances" that they don't like will be left.
Why? If the brand owner just wants to take advantage of the WF Group's reputation, then the commercial performances are completely aimed at hugging the thighs of the WF Group.
What is Ma Piaoliang's identity?
So now some 18th-tier artists are not as easy to make money as before. They can invite a first-tier artist for the same price, so why should they invite you, an 18th-tier passerby?
To put it bluntly, if you go on stage, you will lower the popularity of their company.
So now Chen Jia must get Xiaolu's "forgiveness" or her life will not be easy in the future. Not to mention that there is a 50 million liquidated damages waiting for her.
So Chen Jia took out her mobile phone, found the number that Xiaolu called her at that time and called back.
"Beep beep beep"
The busy prompt tone from the phone suddenly made her heart fall into an ice cave.
She continued to call back without giving up, and this time it was better to be blocked directly.
"What should I do?" Chen Jia was anxious.
On the other hand, Xiaolu looked at Chen Jia's phone number and sneered: "You only know it's wrong now? Isn't it a bit too late to find out?" After adding Chen Jia's phone number to the blacklist, he threw the phone aside and wrapped himself in a bath towel to take a bath first.
When Big Brother Cheng's son Xiao Cheng saw Xiao Lu's methods for the first time, he was terrified. If he had been rude to Xiao Lu, he would definitely be the one who was unlucky today.
Don't think Big Brother Cheng can protect him. If Xiao Lu really wants to attack him, Big Brother Cheng will tie him up and send him to apologize, because some people can't afford to offend.
Looking at Xiao Cheng's panicked expression, Big Brother Cheng snorted: "Now you know, right? There are some women that even I, your father, can't afford to offend."
"I know, I will pay attention to it in the future." Faced with his father's "teaching", Xiao Cheng finally realized it later. There was no way that Xiao Lu's revenge was too cruel this time.
If they encountered it, it would be a headache. People don't deal with your movie business, but they can kill you by shorting and exposing black materials.
Who is Big Brother Cheng? He is a veteran. After he "endured humiliation" and made his way in Hong Kong, he thought he could go to America to show his skills and become a "tomorrow's darling", but the facts poured cold water on him again and again.
If the commission system in Hong Kong is "harsh", then it is not an exaggeration to describe the US as "skinning". On the surface, the income there is much higher than that in Hong Kong.
After all, the income there is US dollars, but when he really calculates it. The commission of up to 70% there is really scary, not to mention the terrible personal income tax.
So after all the hard work of making a hit movie over there, the majority of the money has already been taken away by the giants over there, leaving him with very little, not even half of what he got in Hong Kong.
If he didn't rely on the giants, the box office wouldn't be enough to cover the production costs.
After seeing the reality clearly, Big Brother Cheng still chose to return to the mainland to develop step by step. Now he only lacks fame, and of course it would be best if he could make money by the way.
This is why so many old Hong Kong actors have chosen to return to the mainland to develop, after all, people can only be respected in their own country.
Just like the saying: Art has no borders, but artists have nationalities.
This saying is also very useful in other fields.
Facts have proved that Big Brother Cheng's vision is right. He not only gained fame and fortune when he returned to the mainland to develop, but it was also more convenient to go out and cheat occasionally.
As his son grew up, Big Brother Cheng was worried that he would be brainwashed by the ideas of foreign countries, so he brought him back from abroad, but his son was still a little "arrogant" some time ago.
I hope that after this incident with Xiaolu, I can teach my son a good lesson.
"Okay, Ah Cheng, your son will figure it out." His good friend Fatty Wang stepped forward to comfort him.
Big Brother Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "I hope he understands, and doesn't end up being a banana man like Bald Huang."
Speaking of Bald Huang, Fatty Wang frowned and said, "He can't jump up anymore. Others look at him like a plague god. It is said that his houses abroad have been taken away. Now he is looking for people to borrow money everywhere. You should pay attention to it."
"What's the situation? Didn't he save a lot of money?" Big Brother Cheng said in surprise.
Fatty Wang laughed and said, "How many of those artists do you think kept their money? Not to mention you, how many of those guys who were more famous than you before had a good ending?"
"Hey, I told them a long time ago that they should just do what they are good at. Capital is not something that we artists can play with?" Big Brother Cheng said helplessly, and he was also sighing at the end of some old friends.
In the early years of Hong Kong, there were not just one or two artists who turned to business, but the only ones who really managed to survive were those who collected rent from properties, and the others all ended in failure.
Especially after the real estate in Hong Kong was hit by the bubble again this time, the former rent collectors are now in a miserable state.
After all, Hong Kong and the mainland are now building a super-track, which basically takes 30 minutes to reach Shenzhen. Instead of squeezing a house of more than ten square meters in Hong Kong, why not live in the mainland?
So now the houses in Hong Kong can be said to have fallen to the point where they have lost their pants, and the group of people who speculated in real estate naturally have no good end.
As for the artists who once went into business? Not to mention, even the company of Zhou Xingxing, who has the most guaranteed box office, is heavily in debt, and had to sell a mansion to pay off the debt in the early years.
As for the others, you can imagine.
In the past, artists did business only to do some catering or "imitate" the clothing in Europe and the United States to make their own clothes, but with the rise of some brands in the mainland, their "copycat goods" began to decline.
As for catering? Stop joking, this thing is always a matter of taste, if there is no taste, it is a one-time business. In the end, those artists who joined financial companies are the worst.
They thought this was a stepping stone for them to ascend to the upper class, but they didn't know that they were just a group of leeks waiting to be harvested. Those consortiums in Hong Kong are not vegetarians.
You have to know which family that can stand firm among hundreds of millions of people is "easy to deal with", and these artists still dream of sharing the cake with this group of people, which is really a bit unclear in their minds.
There are several former friends around Big Brother Cheng who went into business and were "harvested" and were heavily in debt. At the same time, Big Brother Cheng also understood that the upper class is not something you can enter just because you want to.
First of all, you have to have a "guarantee" that you will not be eaten, because you are not facing one or two people, but a bunch of crocodiles lurking under the water.
Even a large group like Yang Chen and his son can only choose to "compromise" under the "peeping" of some financial crocodiles. There is no way that the two sides are not at the same level at all.
There are many crocodiles eyeing the WF Group, but the WF Group has never been listed, and the Blood Sabre's reputation is there.
If you want to move the WF Group, it depends on whether you can withstand the revenge of the Blood Sabre. Those who had some prying hearts about the WF Group before have given up the idea recently.
Because the things about the Blood Sabre in Mexico and the Ether Country are really scary. Especially the means of dealing with drug dealers in Mexico are simply appalling.
The Mexican Cabinet thought that the Blood Sabre would take advantage of this and "play rogue" like the United States, because in this case, no one in Mexico dared to stop them now.
But the fact is that the Blood Sabre helped the Mexican Cabinet complete the task, took the reward and left without looking back, which made Mexico relieved.
There is no way, the Blood Sabre's means are really "scary", even some people who are often responsible for torture are scared by their means, not to mention their terrifying combat effectiveness.
When such people get angry, no one can bear it.
Therefore, some institutions now only dare to wait and see about WF Group, and don't even have the intention to look at it. For capital, if an opponent is so powerful that you need to look up to it, it is better to curry favor with it.
This is why Yang Chen and his son would try to please Tang Wen, and why the eldest brother Cheng tried to please Xiao Lu. There was no way. The eldest brother Cheng also wanted to please Tang Wen, but with his status, he could not get in touch with Tang Wen at all.
So he could only try to please Xiao Lu.
Some of the top stars in the entertainment industry were in such a difficult situation, let alone Chen Jia who was still outside the 18th line. She was really panicked after being hung up by Xiao Lu twice in a row.
After finding out that she was blocked, her heart fell to the bottom. Now she only hoped that Xiao Lu would show mercy, otherwise, let alone resources, life would be a problem.
So Chen Jia drove out without hesitation and applied for a new card. After installing the phone, she wanted to call Xiao Lu directly to apologize, but she was afraid that the other party would block her, so she edited a text message and sent it.
"I'm very sorry, Sister Xiaolu, I'm Chen Jia. I was blinded by my own greed before, which led to your misunderstanding. I hope you can be magnanimous and give me a chance, I promise."
After sending the message, Chen Jia was anxiously holding her phone in a daze in the car. She was really afraid that Xiaolu would block her again, which would mean she was really "hopeless".
While Xiaolu was lying in the bathtub enjoying the milk bath, she saw a text message from an unfamiliar phone number. She smiled and picked up the phone. It was indeed from Chen Jia.
Seeing that the tone had scared Chen Jia "a lot", she thought about it and typed on the keyboard with her phone: "3 pm on June 15th, 19th floor, 1999, Wanda Hotel, Magic City."
After sending the message, Xiaolu picked up the Conti worth more than 100,000 yuan next to her and tasted it herself.
When Chen Jia was anxious, the screen of her phone lit up. She quickly reached out to grab the phone, but because she was too excited, the phone fell directly under the seat.
Chen Jia hurriedly picked up her phone and opened it. She was ashamed. The content inside was too explicit, but she didn't have the courage to refuse. After taking a deep breath, Chen Jia replied tremblingly.
"Okay, Sister Xiaolu, I will be there on time, thank you."
Looking at Chen Jia's reply message, Xiaolu smiled. At this time, she finally understood the benefits of "fame". A few phone calls can influence a person. This feeling is really amazing.
So she took out her phone and sent a message to Ma Piaoliang: "Big Piaoliang, it's up to me this time."
Ma Piaoliang flattered: "Xiaolu is great, Trojan, love you."
