Chapter 825 TB TV Station Is Dumbfounded
830. The dumbfounded TB TV station
Not only Zhang Ning and Yang Xinyue were dumbfounded now, but even the managers at TB TV were a little dumbfounded because in the past few days, sponsors had been asking to withdraw the invitations from Wu Xing and the others.
The businessman is not a fool. He was willing to pay so much money before just because of Liu Quan's face. Now that Liu Quan has given up, who will hire these three "passed" artists?
But the people here at TB are not happy. How can the money that has been put into the pocket be taken out so easily? Not to mention that the endorsement fees for the three women this time are quite high.
In order to grab the endorsement deal before the three girls become popular, some merchants offered a really high price this time. Especially since I heard that several of them were going to mainland China to shoot costume films, they all wanted to take the money directly. Knock the opponent unconscious.
Now, all hope is gone. How could they just swallow their anger? So they all went to TB's artist management department and asked for their money back.
Some people with ulterior motives even suspected that this was a "joint hype" between TB TV and Liu Quan for the purpose of making money.
Liu Quan immediately issued a "statement" saying: "My funds are in place. I cannot cooperate with Zhang Ning, Yang Xinyue and Miss Hu Xing this time because the other party's agent is too open about the salary. I myself have not cooperated with TB Anyone from the TV station had any contact.”
Some reporters were suspicious: "Director Liu Quan, I heard that someone saw you going to the film and television base of TB TV station that day. How do you explain this?"
Liu Quanquan said without hesitation: "I can tell everyone responsibly about this matter. I received an invitation from Mr. Zhou Guobiao (Da Fei's younger brother A Biao) that day, and it was just a casting call from the Ten Thousand Film and Television Base."
In addition, Liu Quan also dumped a copy of the capital supervision account given to him by Zhou Guobiao and announced in a high-profile manner: "Mr. Zhou Guobiao has negotiated with me before to invest 100 million to shoot a costume film, and all the funds have gone into the Film and Television Bureau's Supervisory Association, you can check this at any time.”
After Liu Quan's statement, TB TV station was full of criticism.
"I jumped into the street and thought about raising the price before the movie was even made. Is this retribution?"
"I'm crazy about the line. If I want to increase the price, I'll wait until after the auction."
"Haha, the old man is doing the same old thing."
"Let the rubbish TV station close down."
In response to the criticism online, people from TB TV station immediately jumped out and said: "Please be patient and calm. This is a matter of the company's artist department and has nothing to do with TB TV station. Please don't bring harm to innocent people."
But this explanation seemed to add fuel to the fire, making the criticism even more intense.
It's no wonder that the artist base of TB Film and Television Base and TB TV Station are wearing the same pants. Although they are separated in name, they are still the same people.
Even many of the agents at TB Film and Television Base are employees of TB TV Station. These people are usually Liusao's confidants. They rely on the connections of the TV station to exploit the hard-earned money of some small artists outside.
This kind of thing is very common in TB TV station, because some small artists have no chance to be exploited. Being able to be exploited at least shows that you still have "value".
Just like the previous 15-year "sale contract" of TB TV station, you can't just sign it if you want to. Many domestic companies in China are also following the example of TB TV. The minimum signing period for their artists is 8 years, so that they can better control the artists' desire to "change jobs".
But the trouble now is the group of sponsors who were "scammed", and I don't know who took the lead. The sponsors who were scammed by TB before actually hired a group of people to hold banners in front of the TB TV station to complain.
This scene really made Tang Wen laugh.
"Can't they refund the money? What's the big deal?" Tang Wen shook his head and said.
Da Fei on the side quickly explained: "Boss, you don't know something. TB TV station is famous for being stingy. Previously, people from the Xiangjiang Music Association sued them for infringement. Uncle Liu and the others would rather spend money to litigate than pay. It is said that this The lawsuit has been going on for more than ten years, and the legal fees are now more expensive than the money paid. "
"Oh? Why?" Tang Wen became even more curious about this.
Da Fei mocked: "I'm afraid that after setting a precedent, more people will come to TB to ask for money in the future. TB TV station used to be considered a "prosperity of talents", but now it has fallen into copying Neon and Bangzi Kingdom. , the people in TB were the ones that Southeast Asia was trying to imitate, which is funny to say.”
After listening to Da Fei's words, Tang Wen finally understood why so many people jumped out to beat up the trapped dog this time when TB TV was "in trouble".
Although there are some competitors, most of them are sponsors who were cheated by TB TV.
You must know that after the previous TB TV station received the money, it was like a different person. Even the person who wrote the weekly diary of the jewelry conference here in Xiangjiang was cheated.
At that time, TB TV station held a talent show. People from Zhouji Jewelry spent more than 50 million to buy exclusive sponsor advertisements. However, when they arrived at the competition site, they discovered that the so-called "exclusive" was a trap, advertising for various luxury goods. It was flying all over the sky. Although Zhou Ji's name was in the middle, compared with the luxury goods next to it, it seemed a bit "outdated".
What was even more irritating was that when people from Zhouji approached the person in charge at the time and asked why the same type of "luxury goods" were still appearing on the field, the other party actually said.
"Those are luxury goods and have nothing to do with jewelry." Zhou Ji's face turned green with anger. What a joke! Although those are luxury goods, they also have a jewelry business. Although Zhou Ji is famous in Hong Kong, it is still inferior to these international big brands at that time.
So Zhou Ji suffered a "silent loss". It is said that since then, Zhou Ji has never asked TB TV to shoot any advertisements. The people who shot later were all asked to shoot by TB's mortal enemy Jade Channel.
This also led to some subsequent sponsors to learn to be smart. When negotiating cooperation with TB TV, they must discuss all the rules and regulations to the extreme before signing a contract. Even so, there are not a few people who have been cheated.
Liu Quan's incident "resonated" with many people. The music association that had previously sued TB TV also jumped out to accuse TB TV of being "shameless" again.
The Music Association was the worst victim of TB TV. The amount of money spent by TB TV on lawsuits against them over the years was beyond imagination, not to mention that TB people only wanted to sue but not pay compensation, which made them angry and they had to bite the bullet and continue to sue TB TV.
Now that they have the opportunity to "beat the dog when it's down", they will naturally not miss it.
