Chapter 59 Top Contracts
The recording of the third performance is over.

In a lounge at the backstage of the show, Liu Rongxuan sent a video to He Hongtu, the boss of Chaoyin Culture, and then dialed the phone and said:
"Chairman, I just sent you a video, it's the video of Fang Xing's performance.

"Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen's new single can't hold him down at all.

"We might really have to give him a platinum contract, otherwise I'm afraid things will change."

On the other end of the phone, He Hongtu's dissatisfied voice came:

"When will Chaoyin Culture sign a trainee with a platinum contract? Are you crazy?"

Liu Rongxuan explained patiently: "Chairman, why don't you watch the video I sent you first. Although the sound effect of the recording is not good, you should be able to see the problem."

The other end of the phone fell silent, obviously He Hongtu went to watch the video.

A few minutes later, He Hongtu's voice came from the phone: "Sign him up immediately, you go in person, don't send any more assistants.

"Try it with a top-level contract first. If he still refuses to sign, give him a platinum contract, but the share ratio can't be so much, it's almost 35%. The contract period should be longer, at least ten years."

"Okay, I'll do it right now."

After finishing the phone call, Liu Rongxuan immediately took two assistants to find Fang Xing and made an appointment to discuss the contract in the small conference room.

……

After sitting down in the small conference room.

Liu Rongxuan introduced himself: "Fang Xing, hello, I am the artist director of Chaoyin Culture and one of the shareholders of the company.

"I am here to discuss the contract with you on behalf of the company. According to your last request, we have seriously revised the contract."

Liu Rongxuan signaled the assistant to push a contract to Fang Xing.

He went on to say: "This is our company's top contract, and no trainee has ever received a contract of this level.

"In China, only first-line singers can get such a contract. You should be able to see the sincerity of the company, right?"

Fang Xing opened the first page of the contract, and glanced at several key positions.

The 35% share is not what Fang Xing cares most about.

Top-level contracts are slightly more lenient than ordinary contracts, but only slightly more lenient.

This contract still has many restrictions on the artist. For example, during the duration of the contract, the artist cannot fall in love.

Another example is how much work an artist must complete within a certain period of time.

Moreover, these are not the terms that Fang Xing dislikes the most.

What's more, the contract period is 10 years.

And there is a supplementary clause. After the contract expires, Chaoyin Culture has the priority to sign the contract. Artists cannot contact other brokerage companies without notifying Chaoyin Culture.

However, this one is not the most extreme.

The most excessive clause in this contract is that during the contract period, the copyright of all works created by the artist belong to Chaoyin Culture.

Even if the contract ends in the future, the artist only has the right to sign the work and has no right to use it.

Yes, according to the terms of this contract.

If Fang Xing signed, after the contract expires, if he wants to sing the songs produced during the contract period, he will have to pay Chaoyin Culture.

When Fang Xing saw this, he didn't want to take another look at the contract, so he pushed it back: "I won't sign it."

Liu Rongxuan frowned, and said, "Fang Xing, the company wants to make you a superstar, and form a limited group trident with Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen, which will give you a lot of resources.

"Moreover, these promised resources can be included in the contract, including top domestic music variety shows and top reality shows.

"These are not verbal promises. As long as you agree, I will immediately have someone write them into the contract."

"Forget it, I don't really want to sign."

After Fang Xing finished speaking, he wanted to get up and leave.

Liu Rongxuan frowned, asked his assistant to take out another contract, and said: "Wait a minute, this is the framework of a platinum contract, except for the share ratio, other terms are the same as the platinum contract.

"This is the company's greatest sincerity. When the King of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven sign a contract, they also sign this kind of platinum contract.

"Originally, it was impossible for the company to come up with a contract of this level, but I did see great potential from you.

"That's why I won this contract from the big boss of the company. You can see if you are satisfied."

Fang Xing frowned, he didn't expect that Chaoyin Culture would actually give him a platinum contract.

This is beyond the original expectations.

After looking through the contract, the terms of the contract are indeed more lenient than the top-level contract.

There is no mandatory requirement for artists to accept jobs.

And the platinum contract has a guaranteed minimum salary of 50 per year.

However, the copyright of the songs produced during the contract period still belongs to Chaoyin Culture.

The contract period is still 10 years.

However, these are only superficial reasons.

Fang Xing didn't want to sign with Chaoyin Culture, mainly because he didn't agree with their ideas.

Chaoyin culture has always been making idols with heart and making music with feet.

The idol groups created by Chaoyin Culture are all aimed at harvesting fans. As for the music, they are all outsourced to the production teams of other companies.

Take SPK, the most popular boy group in Chaoyin culture, for example. After three years of debut, they only released half an album, and there is not a single song that is popular.

Therefore, even if the contract was very loose, Fang Xing did not want to sign it.

Fang Xing didn't want to beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "Forget it, I hope to focus on making music, and Chaoyin culture may not suit me."

One of the reasons why Liu Rongxuan was able to take the position of the second in command of Chaoyin Culture is that he is very accurate in judging people.

He could tell that Fang Xing wasn't pulling on purpose, but really thought so.

This is more troublesome.

Liu Rongxuan thought for a while and said, "If you don't want to sign a management contract, then there will be problems with the limited group contract. You won't be able to debut as a group. Are you sure you want to do this?"

That's great!

Fang Xing had never thought of bringing Wu Junchen and the others to play, so he almost blurted out the words, and quickly laughed, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter to me whether we get together or not."

Liu Rongxuan showed a surprised expression. He stared into Fang Xing's eyes and found that the young man in front of him was more difficult to deal with than expected.

at this time.

A director of the program group knocked on the door outside the conference room, and then opened the door to come in and apologize, "I'm really sorry, the stage budget that Fang Xing applied for before needs to be recorded, and Fang Xing needs to sign it."

Fang Xing didn't want to waste time with Chaoyin Culture, so he got up immediately and said, "Okay, I'll go over and sign now, is it the payment for the choir recording last time?"

"Right." The director of the program group nodded.

Fang Xing dragged her out, walked out the door, turned around and said politely, "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry, I still have something to do today, why don't we make an appointment another day."

When I went to the finance department of Feifan Entertainment to sign, I happened to meet Liang Yusong.
