Chapter 826 Everyone Wants to Step on It
831. Everyone wants to step on it
Tang Wen doesn't care about what happened to TB TV. He just wants to see how many people's "resentment" this TV can arouse.
Because from the previous "pay increase" incident to now, only one person in charge of TB TV came out to say a few nice words, and the problem still has no intention of being solved.
So now things seem a little subtle, and now it only takes a spark for this matter to start fermenting completely.
Tang Wen was lying on the sofa in the villa in shallow water, watching the people of Jade TV crazy "adding fuel to the fire", and he was watching it with relish.
Now TB TV is really a wall down and everyone is pushing it. Now not only on TV, but even in newspapers, they are constantly "accusing" them of their "bad deeds".
"Tsk tsk, I really don't know if TB TV can hold on." Tang Wen sighed.
Not long ago, a wave of artists "accused" TB TV of their "Zhou Ba Pi" behavior, and now it's brought up again.
This is unavoidable, because the sharing of "profits" by TB TV is indeed a place where some people feel "mysterious operation".
First of all, whether it is TB TV or the artist department of the film and television base, they most often use the "28 rule".
It means that more than 80% of the money earned by the artist belongs to the company, and the remaining 20% belongs to the artist. Even so, many artists still need to bear "taxes", so the income is really pitiful.
Do you think this is over? What's even more cruel is that some newcomers share the profits with the company in a 19:1 ratio, with the company taking 90% of the profits and them taking 10%.
Only some top artists on TB can get a 28 or 19:1 ratio with the company (the company takes 1 or 2), but there are no more than 10 such people in the entire TB.
This shows how black-hearted the management of TB is. However, before, TB's artists could make some extra money through some commercial performances or catwalks.
But with the arrival of the TB brokerage team, all this has changed, and their profits will be taken away by these brokers with 10% of the net income.
So many people have been "bitter", take Myolie Wu for example, if she can get a commercial performance of 200,000 a month, first the company will take 160,000, the agent will take 10,000, and she will only get 30,000.
This is still good, many artists who earn 190,000 can only get 10,000 at most when they earn 200,000, which is considered lucky, so why many TB artists have to "find another way to make a living" when they don't have a movie to shoot.
There is no way, they also have to survive. Zhang Jian, who was popular in Southeast Asia before, helped TB earn several hundred million Hong Kong dollars in income, but he only earned 70,000 Hong Kong dollars after working hard for a year, and he also fell ill.
The next year, he wanted to increase his income, but he was put on ice by TB. In desperation, he paid a large amount of liquidated damages and left Hong Kong. When he came to mainland China, his net worth increased many times.
It was because of Zhang Jian's departure that many TB artists began to "waver", but TB not only did not comfort its artists, but instead raised the penalty for breach of contract to a higher level, which angered countless people.
It can be said that TB is going further and further on the road to self-destruction, and Jade TV, which had always been following behind TB TV, has become the biggest winner.
Although Jade TV is also "ugly", the good thing about them is that they share 50-50 with the artists, and the agent's commission is negotiated between the artists themselves.
If the agent is powerful and can help the artist get better resources, the artist is also willing to give more to the agent. After all, everyone is in a cooperative relationship, which is much better than TB TV.
So in recent years, TB TV has been beaten by its former "little brother" Jade TV in all aspects, but the management of TB company doesn't care so much. They rely on their artists to make a lot of money, so how could they share the money with the artists?
As a result, many managers ate up artists and then ate up sponsors. At this time, TB Company was already "notorious", although it occasionally released a few "nostalgic" TV series to try to buy up leeks.
However, there were still not many people who bought it, after all, everyone was no longer the stupid "leeks" of that era.
This time, TB Company chose to "pass the buck" as usual, but they ignored that this time Liu Quan had a "big tree" Zhou Guobiao.
With Da Fei's support, Liu Quan was not afraid of TB Company at all, and even publicly had a long-distance quarrel with TB Company's people in the newspaper, and promoted his new movie by the way.
The Music Association jumped out and announced that the lawsuit with TB Company, which had been fought for more than ten years, had finally come to an end. TB Company compensated the "negotiated" amount, and this matter finally came to an end.
Everyone immediately began to wonder how much money TB had paid, but neither party revealed a specific number, but only said that they would pay attention to the protection of "copyright" in the future.
The matter of the music association has been dealt with, but the sponsors are still not giving in. You have to know that TB company has been very greedy for many years, and everyone has had opinions about it for a long time. Now, taking advantage of Liu Quan's incident, everyone is asking to "re-draft" the contract.
TB will not easily give up the money it has earned. Zhou Xiao, the current vice president of TB, even said publicly: "If they didn't want to rush to sign contracts after the artists became popular, how could there be so many things? To put it bluntly, they are just greedy."
For this response, the sponsors were naturally very unhappy and began to issue statements to boycott TB's artists.
TB's artists were dumbfounded when they saw this news. How could such a good fire burn to their side?
For a while, many old brands in Hong Kong turned around and began to terminate the contracts with TB's artists under their TB company, and turned to sign contracts with Jade Channel next door.
All this made Jade Channel, which was secretly doing bad things, very happy. At present, their TV station endorsements are pitifully few, and commercial performances are almost only for top stars. Unexpectedly, they were the ones who benefited from TB's actions.
Some people are happy while others are worried. The artists at TB Company were unhappy. Many of them received termination contracts, and even the commercial performances that were originally agreed upon were temporarily cancelled. Their income can be said to have fallen to the lowest point in recent years.
So the artists could no longer sit still and asked TB Company to give a reasonable explanation.
