Rebirth: Uranus Superstar

Chapter 694 Compensation
Looking at Joey's excited eyes, Han Sen once again felt the importance of a good song to a singer.

Even a famous singer like Joey would completely lose his bearing when faced with a good song, almost looking at Han Sen with begging eyes.

As for Han Sen, he was full of emotion. For a song like "Love Story", he had already completed his evaluation in his heart, but for Han Sen, recreating the glory of "Love Story" should be more exciting than the return of cash flow. , so he said with a smile: "As much as you want, I'm not in a hurry here, you can discuss it with your management team."

Not getting a clear number made Joey feel a little panicked. She was most afraid of this situation. Han Sen didn't mention the quotation at all, and just let himself look at it.

And the lethality of this sentence is so powerful, if you give less, you will be cut off from future cooperation, and it is not even sure whether this cooperation can succeed.

She gritted her teeth and said, "Mr. Han, don't worry, the value of this song in my heart is definitely not less than ten million, or even higher. I will let my management team give you a satisfactory answer."

Han Sen nodded with a smile.

Joey looked at the lyrics and score in his hand, handed it back to Han Sen with a little reluctance, and then went to find his manager Rila without stopping.

Rila and her team had been waiting outside impatiently. They were slightly dissatisfied with Han Sen's studio's hospitality, but they dared not say anything. After all, Han Sen's name is too famous all over the world, and It's so bluffing. Anyone who survives in this circle is familiar with Han Sen's name and can be called a legend in the music world.

Now that such a legendary figure is in front of them, Rila and others feel as if they have entered the story and become a part of it.

"No matter what, we must get Han Sen's work." Rila said secretly.

At this moment, Joey walked out of the office and found Rila anxiously along the way, "Rilla, you must help me this time..."

"What's the matter? Is everything going well?" Rila tried to calm herself and asked, "Don't worry too much. I'm your manager. If I don't help you, who can help you?"

"It's going well, it must be going well."

Joey hurriedly said, "I got a song by Han Sen..."

"Where is it?" Rila asked in surprise.

Joey immediately said: "It's still in that office, but I've read the lyrics and music, and it's very in line with my expectations, no, it can even be said to be far beyond my expectations..."

"That's good." Rila breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked the key point: "Has Han Sen made an offer?"

"No, he meant to let me come out and chat with you, and then let us watch it..." Joey applied impatiently: "What should I do? Rila, I really like this song, even if his quotation No matter how high it is, I want to win it."

"Really?" Rila asked seriously.

Joey nodded again and again: "Of course! I fell in love with it at first sight!"

Rilla asked again, "How does it compare to 'When Dreams Come True'?"

"The two songs are not of the same type. In terms of lyrics and music alone, "When Dreams Come True" is of course better, but when it comes to popularity, I believe that even without the global resources of Shuangfeiyi Group to promote, this new song will definitely be popular." All over the world."

Joey's firm answer moved Rila's heart, and she said after a little thought: "In this case, according to the previous quotations of Han Sen's works, the price of his works is basically around [-] million, but this is just a general situation. Next, other than that, I don’t know when I can get it. In the Chinese music scene, it is recognized that Han Sen’s works are priceless, so even if there are tens of millions of quotations, there are very few singers. Can get Han Sen's works, according to this conclusion, Han Sen's works are at least worth more than ten million..."

"Yes, I just said in the office that the quotation for this song will be at least 1000 million, or even higher." Joey said immediately.

Rila nodded: "In this case, let's double the offer to 2000 million, Joey, what do you think?"

Joey thought for a while, hesitated a little.

2000 million for a song is an astronomical sum no matter which country it is in, but if the creator of this song is Han Sen, then it is another matter.

In addition, Joey really liked this song, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm really happy that the brokerage company can give me 2000 million, but I think it's still not enough. Of course, this part is not enough. I'll make up for it myself..."

"How much do you want to make up?" Rila was a little surprised.

"Five million." Joey said.

Rilla nodded: "500 million, just for one song, which already shows our sincerity."

"Yes, but even so, I still feel that it is missing." Joey smiled bitterly: "I really like that song, it seems to be a song tailored for me, full of country atmosphere, making people feel comfortable It's romantic again."

Rila smiled and said, "It's fine if you like it. The most important thing is that you can't miss it. How many people want Han Sen's songs is what they want. We are very lucky."

Joey quickly thanked Rila and the brokerage company. With great gratitude in his heart, he secretly decided to hold more concerts and accept commercial advertisements in the future, at least to let the company pay back.

Afterwards, Joey took Rila back to the office, chatted with Han Sen for a while, and quoted a price of 500 million yuan.

Han Sen was quite surprised by this number, because it had already broken his record for external quotations. Usually, his quotations in the music industry are around 99 million yuan. Such quotations are already very high. Of course, there are many benefits. It will filter and block out [-] More than % of people who invited him to sing.

And 500 million for the copyright of a song, even Han Sen was quite surprised. He estimated in his heart that it was only 600 million, but he didn't expect it to be 1000 million more.

Of course, if this number was changed to before, it would definitely make Han Sen very excited, but now he is worth hundreds of millions, and the studio in his hand is worth tens of billions. For the income of 3000 to [-] million, it is not too big. felt it.

Joey and Rila were also shocked when they saw Han Sen talking and laughing happily, and they were quite shocked, and suddenly realized the gap between them.

It really is different from person to person.

On the way back, Rila said with emotion: "Even when I faced those legendary business giants, I couldn't feel the steady and detached temperament that appeared in Han Sen..."

Holding the lyrics and music of "Love Story" in his hand, Joey nodded repeatedly: "After all, he is a superstar."

……

After solving the problem of some singers' invitations, Han Sen didn't pay attention to the music industry anymore, because he just released a new album "Han Sen's Midsummer", which fully nourished all the fans who were waiting for food, and felt that life full of hope.

After satisfying the appetite of the fans, Han Sen turned around and quickly devoted himself to the post-production of "Steel".

In order to ensure the quality of the special effects of each frame of the movie, Han Sen directly hired the world's top special effects post-production company. The bloody divorce property is in crisis, and the reason for divorce is even more ruining the three views.

This caused the special effects company "Blue Fantasy" to fall into a long-lasting bad scandal. Its reputation in the UK was extremely bad. Blue Fantasy" follow-up cooperation.

Under such circumstances, Han Sen searched for top special effects companies around the world in order to let "Steel Man" go ahead and avoid wasting time queuing up for post-production at Ray Film and Television, and finally chose "Blue Magic". .

It's not because "Blue Fantasy" ranks high among the world's top production companies or how advanced the equipment is, but because "Blue Fantasy" is suitable for Han Sen's studio at this time.

If you want to develop film and television in the future, especially movies with big scenes such as sci-fi movies and disaster movies, the existence of a special effects company is indispensable. 35 million, bought [-]% of the market capitalization shares of "Blue Fantasy" special effects company, and became the largest shareholder of "Blue Fantasy" special effects company in one fell swoop.

The total market value of Blue Fantasy Special Effects Company was as high as tens of billions. However, due to the scandal of the person in charge's divorce and property disputes, the market value fell crazily for a time, and it was directly cut in half. In the end, it was cheaper than the current Han Sen. After some quotations, he finally got 14 billion for 35 billion. % of shares.

In the past six months, the special effects production staff of Blue Fantasy Special Effects Company has been almost equivalent to a career due to the scandal of the person in charge, and has not received new orders at all. After Han Sen became a shareholder, he directly started working on the latest blockbuster "Steel", Moreover, the level of special effects can be called epic difficulty, which is very challenging and once surprised the special effects artists.

So all the special effects artists began to work hard.

There are nearly a hundred people in the special effects team of the entire Blue Fantasy Company. After Han Sen's inquiry, it was confirmed that the special effects of "Steel" would only take half a year, and Han Sen breathed a sigh of relief.

The release of this plan in one or two years is too early.

But this is not surprising. After all, the entire Blue Fantasy Company has only accepted one order for "Steel". With the efforts of nearly a hundred staff members and special effects artists, it is reasonable to make an ordinary movie in half a year.

In the next six months, Han Sen did not stop the acquisition.

Relying on crazy money, Han Sen got another 30% of the shares of Blue Magic in the next three to four months. So far, Han Sen got a total of 65% of the shares of Blue Magic, almost becoming the owner of this company. The actual owner of the special effects company, and the later 30% of the shares cost Han Sen more than 16 billion yuan.

Just because "Blue Fantasy" received the order of "Steel Number", the outside world is generally optimistic about this special effects company again, so the market value has risen to a certain extent, which makes Han Sen's acquisition more and more difficult. Fortunately, after unremitting efforts After working hard, when the total cost exceeded 30 billion, I finally got 65% of the shares.

As for the remaining 35% of the shares, in addition to the original shareholders owning about 20% of the shares, the remaining 15% of the shares are all scattered among some top employees of the special effects company. The incentive policy set up by the company for high-tech treatment and job-hopping, as long as you stay in the company longer and make enough movies, you will be able to get the shares given by the company at the end of each year, although it usually does not exceed [-]%. But it is definitely enough to attract these special effects staff.

In the past six months, Han Sen's cash flow has shrunk significantly due to the acquisition of "Blue Fantasy".

Even if there are 20 billion copyright taxes for the new album, it will not help. After all, the acquisition of "Blue Fantasy" alone cost 30 billion.

Although Han Sen had a cash flow of more than 20 billion in the early days, but because he took out a billion to subsidize "Senhai Hot Pot", he only had a cash flow of more than a billion in his hands. When the share of the new album was recorded, Han Sen The total assets add up to only 33 billion.

After spending 30 billion to buy a special effects company, Han Sen currently only has about [-] million in cash.

And these [-] million yuan is not useless. It is to pay the director of "Steel", including actors, staff, etc., and only paid half of the salary when signing the contract. After the film is finished, it is reasonable to pay the rest The next half, but because Han Sen wanted to buy "Lan Huan", he was worried that the money would not be enough, so he temporarily declined the list.

All the actors and staff expressed their support after hearing about it. No one thought that Han Sen would renege on his debts. After all, Han Sen's ability to make money was obvious to all.

So after everything was settled, Han Sen used [-] million out of the [-] million yuan to pay the actors and staff members salaries and salaries.

The remaining [-] million will be used for management and publicity expenses when "Steel" is finally released.

In the past six months, many surprising memorabilia have also taken place in the music world.

Among them is the matter of Yuanzheng Media suing He Baozhen and Guan Tingjiao. After a long period of litigation, when everyone believed that He Baozhen and Guan Tingjiao had the winning ticket—after all, they did not have the confidence to grasp it, and it was impossible to directly change jobs...

But no one expected that He Baozhen and Guan Tingjiao would lose the lawsuit.

Because the contracts prepared by Yuanzheng Media for He Baozhen and Guan Tingjiao back then were tricky and wordy, just to make a comeback when they encountered such a situation at a critical moment.

And Yuanzheng Media really turned the tables, suing Guan Tingjiao and He Baozhen for multiple breaches of contract, including violating the non-competition agreement and stealing commercial secrets. In the end, Yuanzheng Media won the case after the first instance verdict.

After the court ruling, He Baozhen and Guan Tingjiao must immediately pay RMB 7600 million and RMB 1.4 million respectively to Yuanzheng Media in order to avoid imprisonment.

In the face of hard facts, after consulting many lawyers, He Baozhen and Guan Tingjiao finally agreed to admit the verdict and would not appeal any more, and were willing to pay the relevant compensation.

This compensation also cost He Baozhen and Guan Tingjiao half their lives.

Because He Baozhen didn't have enough cash flow, she even sold several mansions across the country.

And Guan Tingjiao not only had to sell the house and the car, but even had to find someone to borrow money to make up for the sky-high compensation of 1.4 million yuan.
