my crew is not human

Chapter 79 Establishment of Subsidiaries

In the small tea bar, Li Xianyun was still talking with Dou Lingling.

Li Xianyun asked: "What company?"

"agency."

Li Xianyun smiled: "A field you are good at."

Brokerage companies mainly focus on artist brokerage. The more powerful ones are celebrity brokers, and the worse ones are actor brokers. They are all actors, and their status varies greatly.

In addition, there are also distinctions in brokers themselves, including major brokers, film and television brokers, business brokers, executive brokers, broker assistants, and so on.Among them, the big broker is the big coffee broker, belonging to the boss.

The film and television agent is in charge of the film and television business, the business agent is in charge of business, and the executive agent is the actual executor of the big agent. To put it bluntly, the agent is the boss, so the executive agent is the executive, just like a director and an executive director. Only the agent assistant is the real assistant. , is specialized in running errands.

As for the specific configuration, it also depends on the position of the agent - this is the same as the boss, the boss's level depends on the size of the company.

And the agent itself serves the artist, and the artist often has a stylist, N assistants, and some awesome stars also have their own screenwriters, who specialize in providing suggestions for script revisions suitable for their own artists.

In addition, if there are business activities, there must be publicity, planning, marketing and so on.

The big-name agents among these agents also have assistants, and the awesome assistants also bring assistants. They are like nesting dolls. Anyway, they become famous and become more delicate when they reach a higher level. All of them can't work without assistants.

So it is normal for a big-name star to be dispatched with dozens of people around him.

The types of brokers are complex, and the brokerage companies are not simple.

The most powerful brokerage company is one-stop service from cultivation, to star creation, to brokerage, and after cultivating a newcomer into a superstar, they can make huge profits. Therefore, the contracts for their own artists are also relatively harsh. The company gets [-]% and the artist gets [-]% It's normal, and South Korea is the best at this point.

The lesser ones, such as film and television companies, also cultivate stars, but they don’t start from a young age, basically through their own film and television works, without special training methods, it belongs to the cultivation of gu-style, whoever becomes popular will be hired, and the salary is slightly higher than that of South Korea. some.This kind of talk, it is possible to split between three and seven, half and half, depending on the reputation of the artist, the strength of the company, how dark the heart is, and the ability to fool.

The third one is a pure brokerage company, which has no works of its own and consumes artists purely. Artists are the core and have a high status.In some agencies, the artists themselves are the bosses, while others work for them.

The last thing is that there are not even famous artists, purely actor managers, such as Ren Zhi.

Just catch any artist and sign it. Usually, you don't need to pay wages, and you will get a commission when you send it to the crew.Don't tell me, it's just like this, even those with darker hearts dare to ask for half of your income.After Ren Zhi signed someone like Yang Enjun, he gave it to the crew everywhere. The price ranged from [-] to [-] yuan. He dared to ask for a few thousand yuan in Yang Enjun's hands.

The reality is complicated, and there are rules, but they are often not followed.

People can always see the rules on the bright side, but what they can't see are the unspoken rules in various industries, and different people even have different methods and operating habits.

Dou Lingling wants to run her own brokerage company, which is basically a pure brokerage company.What a pure agency company needs most is to be slick in all directions, able to deal well with major film and television companies, and send their own artists there.

This can understand why Dou Lingling appears here.

Li Xianyun asked: "So you want to cooperate with me? I will use your artists more in future films?"

"No, I want you to invest." Dou Lingling replied.

Li Xianyun was startled.

Sure enough, awesome characters are powerful, and everything is optimized.

What cooperation agreement do you want?
Investment is the most powerful cooperation agreement!

You are all shareholders, can you not use your own artists?

They want your money and your resources.

Li Xianyun shook his head: "As I said just now, I'm considering making my own stars. The artists I will use in the future are basically my own."

"If you become a shareholder, the artists are all yours." Dou Lingling gave him a look that you understand.

I go!

Why do you all look like birds?
Everyone wants to push the artist to the other boss's bed, and then exchange for a good price.

Li Xianyun is not against occasional romance, but he will not take this kind of thing as his main pursuit, let alone let it become a bargaining chip.

So he shook his head: "It also depends on how many shares you buy, and the right to speak."

Pure investment without management, [-]% of the shares, useful for birds!
Dou Lingling said directly: "The company hasn't been established yet."

This is not a shareholding, but a partnership to start a company.

That's different.

Li Xianyun thought for a while and said, "What's your plan?"

Dou Lingling replied: "Huayou has a third line named Ji Tongyu. The contract is about to expire. He doesn't plan to renew the contract with Huayou. He wants to be independent. You know, so that he can take the big shots."

"Hmm." Li Xianyun had heard of this name before, and his reputation was not bad.

"I made a deal with him, and he is willing to share with me in half."

"Half to half?" Li Xianyun was surprised.

Artists are free when their contract expires, and it is basically impossible to be [-]/[-] if they sign with a brokerage company.

It's not uncommon for some awesome artists to have [-]% or [-]% of their company, or even [-]%.

This Ji Tongyu is willing to fight with Dou Lingling?
"Occupy shares?" Li Xianyun asked.

Dou Lingling shook her head.

She is also very ambitious and will not let artists take shares in the company.

"Then why would he agree?"

"He's also a smart guy, the kind who often gets into trouble."

Li Xianyun understood that a brokerage company is not only a company that does business, but also a company that wipes artists' asses.

Let Ji Tongyu choose half and half of the profit for this... Fuck, this guy is probably not an ordinary trouble.

This can understand why Dou Lingling wants to cooperate with herself.

We must know that the artist brokerage is done well, but it is a rich source of income, and the income brought by a powerful artist alone exceeds that of a medium-sized enterprise.

Of course, it depends on the background of the times and market conditions.

The top artists in the earliest period were worthless at all, but with the development of the times, the eyeball economy has become more and more important, and the endorsement of artists has also increased.

In the heyday of artists in Huaguo, a top artist could earn billions of dollars a year, but this was at the ceiling level, with additional factors added, depending on the strength of the management team.

The market has turned cold in the past two years. Under normal circumstances, if a first-line artist works well, it is still possible to make a few hundred million a year. The company can earn tens of millions in two cents. If it can operate, it can earn even more.

Third-tier artists are already qualified to receive endorsements. They shoot two films and TV shows a year, receive a few endorsements, and then go to business and perform various cooperations in variety shows. It’s no problem to say a few tens of millions.

That is to say, Dou Lingling doesn't need Li Xianyun at all. With Ji Tongyu, she can guarantee the company's annual net profit of tens of millions.

But a product like an artist is easy to start and easy to collapse, which is more risky than movies.

This Ji Tongyu is a troublemaker, he doesn't know when to make mistakes, so Dou Lingling still needs to hug the big tree, to put it bluntly, to avoid risks.

Li Xianyun hates such people: "I don't like to cooperate with such people."

"You don't need to cooperate, the trouble is mine, I have the ability to handle it well." Dou Lingling said: "The artist's trouble is the interest of the agency! An artist without trouble means that our existence is meaningless."

You are awesome!
It is also a set of cattle theory!
Great people have good theories, and they specialize in serving their own behavior.

But Li Xianyun also knew that she said so, if she really wanted to invest, she would still be the big one, and if something happened, she would still need to wipe her own butt, and even if it didn't work, she would have to share the responsibility.

At this moment Li Xianyun asked: "Will you hit him?"

There are many artist managers who will focus on one person.

For example, there is a brokerage company in the island country, and there is only one artist named Xiao Lidian, and the whole company revolves around him alone, and even publicly stated that we will not train any more artists.There was a time when Xiao Lidian was so tired from running the announcement that he fell ill. The boss of the company ran over to visit him in person, bowed and bowed, begging him to be okay.

Basically, once Xiaolidian falls, the company can close down.

When Li Xianyun asked this question, he was actually asking Dou Lingling whether her goal was to stay on the pattern of making money.

Dou Lingling shook her head: "I don't plan to rely on him alone, I still hope to cultivate some people of my own."

So we still need to train newcomers?
This is also a factor that requires Yisheng Media.Yisheng Media is a small company, but it is really suitable for bringing newcomers.

Especially since they are companies with potential.

Li Xianyun thought for a while and asked, "That Ji Tongyu, you wouldn't recommend him to me, would you?"

Dou Lingling shook her head: "He is very angry."

Well, you can just say that he doesn't like me, who is good at shooting nets.

Then they chatted carefully, and Li Xianyun also got a general understanding of the situation.

Just as Dou Lingling said, Ji Tongyu is a troublesome man, causing trouble every day, and Huayou is tired of him, so neither party wants to renew the contract this time.

Ji Tongyu also knew his problem, but didn't want to change it, so he made an appointment with Dou Lingling to go to her company.

This means that Dou Lingling has to organize a strong team to escort Ji Tongyu, which is why she wants to be [-]/[-].

But for Dou Lingling, it's too wasteful for such a team to be used only to help Ji Tongyu, and she can definitely bring in some newcomers.

And newcomers are not qualified to be picky eaters, and Wang Da is the best place to start.

Dou Lingling has seen the rough cut version of Hunting Against Time, and made a judgment like Yang Yuan and the others: this director has a future, and this technique is even more promising!
The most important thing to be a brokerage company is to be able to hold your thighs, but the most difficult thing is to hold your thighs.

You can’t hold onto a big company, and a small company is unreliable—every film and television company in the world calls our company the best, and none of the people in the industry dare believe it, and they have to believe it.

It is rare for a small company to produce so many films in less than a year, which shows that at least the production is reliable, plus there are magical special effects, which can be relied on——Although Dou Lingling is an executive in Huayou , but when it comes out, the big tree is not so easy to hug, so you can't point at Huayou to live.

Especially for newcomers who want to send it to Huayou, it is even more difficult.

Huayou also has artists, and it's still a major business!

What Dou Lingling valued was Yisheng Media's opportunity to train newcomers, while Ji Tongyu took the high-end route and basically would not have too much involvement with Yisheng Media.

With the above ideas in mind, Dou Lingling came to her.

Hearing what she said at this moment, Li Xianyun thought for a while, and said, "I'm not familiar with artist management, but I don't want to give up. I originally had the idea of ​​cultivating it on my own. How about it, Yisheng Media will set up a subsidiary company." , you are in charge."

I became your subordinate?
Dou Lingling was surprised.

Young man, you are not small.

Li Xianyun smiled and said: "There is an advantage in doing this, that is, you don't have to leave for the time being."

Don't have to leave for a while?

Dou Lingling was stunned.

She had already made plans to resign, but at this moment when Li Xianyun said this, she instantly understood what he meant.

fuck!

You are asking me to poach Huayou's wall.

But I have to admit, it's a really good idea.

The Huayou Building will collapse, and I don't know how many years it will last. Many people will choose to retreat.

But sometimes a crisis is an opportunity.

If only before it collapsed...

Dou Lingling took a deep breath.

Depend on.

She got it.

The young man in front of him has little experience, but his brain is absolutely flexible, no wonder he can grow up so quickly.

On this day, Li Xianyun and Dou Lingling talked for a long time.

They finally came to an agreement.

Yisheng Media invested 300 million yuan, and Dou Lingling contributed 150 million yuan to establish Yisheng Brokerage Company. However, Yisheng Media itself has capital needs in the early stage, and can only provide 200 million yuan in the early stage. hunting online.

Dou Lingling's shares will be held by her family. On the surface, it has nothing to do with her, but in fact the company is located in the capital, and Dou Lingling is in charge of operation.

As an executive of Huayou, Dou Lingling has a wide network of contacts, and there are still many suitable targets. If she wants to do this, she doesn't have to find Li Xianyun to cooperate, so Li Xianyun also made a great concession.

First of all, Yisheng Media will start filming from now on. Each film must have at least two or three artists from Yisheng Brokerage Company, and at least one No. 300. There will be at least three films per year, with an average investment of no less than [-] million for each film. for three years.And the price is calculated independently, that is to say, there will be no internal preferential price.

The second is that Dou Lingling has great decision-making power over the company. Although Yisheng Media is a holding company, it has limited many powers to ensure that Dou Lingling's position will not be shaken.

The third is the cooperation between Yisheng Media and other companies, which also requires the participation of Yisheng Brokerage Company, even including the production of the project.In other words, Yi Sheng's agency still has the right to participate in the project, but this right is not mainly used to distribute money, but to fool artists.You see, we are not a pure broker, we are a great company that can participate in the production.

The brokerage company that can lead the production of the project is really awesome!
Otherwise, why do actor agents often hold the position of actor assistant director?This position can be a false position, but if you can participate in the project, you can have real power, become part of the "black hand", and even participate in the box office share.

And this will be of great benefit to Dou Lingling signing artists in the future: the capital of deception has increased.

The fourth is that Yisheng Media shall not establish a subsidiary of the same type within three years.This can be regarded as a subsidiary in turn restricting the parent company.

The fifth is that if Yisheng Media's own artists want to transfer contracts in the future, they must give priority to Yisheng's brokerage.This was requested by Li Xianyun. The meaning behind this clause is that Yisheng Media will also have its own artists, instead of handing over all the artists to Dou Lingling from the beginning.

I can't take advantage of everything for you, can I?If you ask for so much, it means that the character that can really praise people will not be given to you, but will only be invested as an increase in capital after it becomes popular!

The sixth is that the company did not pay dividends in the first two years, but actively invested in making the company bigger.

Down there are a bunch of various conditions.

Finally, Yisheng Media, as the major shareholder, holds 60.00% of the company's shares, Dou Lingling holds 30.00% of the shares, and the other [-]% is handed over to some team members brought by Dou Lingling to hold the shares, and Dou Lingling herself is temporarily absent from the company , so there is no salary, and the nominal person in charge of the company is appointed by Dou Lingling, a woman named Xu Shiqin.With the help of her position in Huayou, Dou Lingling can continue to poach Huayou's corners and secretly transport business, contacts, and resources to her own company.

At the same time, Dou Lingling also signed a gambling agreement with Li Xianyun. If Dou Lingling can make the company's volume reach the calibrated quota within a period of time under the condition that the support promised by Li Xianyun is in place, Dou Lingling can make money on the basis of the current price. The maximum premium is 20.00%, buying 15.00% of the option shares from Yisheng Media, which means that her personal shares are equal to Yisheng Media, plus her team holds [-]%, which means that Dou Lingling will own absolute control over the company.

But it is necessary.

Dou Lingling is different from Xuandong. She is a business talent. The essence of her joining Yisheng is to start a business, not to work. Li Xianyun actually invests in her with resources and cash. The so-called subsidiary is simply an affiliation.

They are essentially cooperative in nature.

Qin Yuyan's contract with Bai Xiaoxian and Lin Xiaoyu will not be placed in this company, but is still in Yisheng Media. After all, the three of them are the people Li Xianyun wants to support, and the past is also counted as a capital increase.

But Dou Lingling can sign a loose brokerage contract with them, and if there is business, she can also bring them over.

Otherwise, you can't afford to rely on salary alone.

At the current stage, Qin Yuyan, Bai Xiaoxian and Lin Xiaoyu are equivalent to the co-cultivation of Li Xianyun and Dou Lingling. Li Xianyun produces works for them, and the works are the cornerstone. With this, Dou Lingling can better package them and take on some ordinary business .

Generally speaking, Yisheng Brokerage Company has great autonomy, independent financial accounting, and mutual cooperation and independence. In the future, the company will develop and grow, and it may break away from the system of Yisheng Media, and Yisheng Media will also take the lead The status retreats to the relationship between shareholders and partners.

For Li Xianyun, who is not good at packaging, this is currently the safest and most worry-free solution, and with the help of this company's development, he can learn a lot.

With the addition of Dou Lingling, Li Xianyun has a mature and reliable management team.

After completing several important negotiations, Yang Yuan took him to a forum meeting of film and television tycoons.

These days, bigwigs spend their free time in various forums and summits, where they state their judgments on the market prospects, talk about outlets, tracks, closed loops, etc., and minds of all levels can participate.

It was Yang Yuan's good intentions, and he was brought to participate in a relatively high-end round.

The bosses of major film and television companies in Huaguo participated one after another, including Sun Junliang from Shengda Media, Shi Jun from Huayou Group, Zheng Honghui from Linglan Group, Lu Xuanyou from Longce Group, Hua Fengbin from Senhai Group, Zhao Mingshuang from Dongluo Company, and Zhang from Jingyuan Company. Changhong, Jingyang Film and Television has returned after a long absence... The big names from all walks of life in the film and television industry have gathered here.

In addition, there are a bunch of celebrities who even came to participate in this summit.

It's a pity that because the summit is too high-end, Li Xianyun is not qualified to sit in the front row at all - he sits in the last row with Yang Yuan and a group of people who don't know what to do from other companies, watching the group of people on the stage from a distance , only as an audience.

Pure come over to join in the fun.

A reporter was looking for targets everywhere, and when they saw Li Xianyun, they asked him what he was doing. Li Xianyun said that he made a big online production. Currently, only one small production with a cost of 300 million and one with a cost of [-] has been launched.

The reporter put the microphone back in an instant.

Li Xianyun didn't care, and made Yang Yuan a little embarrassed, and apologized to Li Xianyun repeatedly: "These reporters are like this, and each of them is very realistic."

Li Xianyun shook his head: "Normal, I am not qualified to do so."

As he spoke, he looked towards the stage.

A middle-aged man on the stage is talking about the future of Huaguo Film and Television, his words are clear, his tone is sonorous, and his words are full of confidence.

Li Xianyun didn't know who the other party was, and he didn't care, he just said softly: "But one day, I will stand on that stage and give a speech, and that is just my starting point..."
