Island Tycoon

Chapter 507 Zhou Runfa is leaving?
After receiving the news that Chen Hu had chosen to cooperate with Golden Harvest, Ye Jingcheng didn't say he was happy because of it.After all, his status is not equal to Zou Wenhuai and others, even if they are defeated, they will not have much sense of honor.

But from another perspective, he hoped that Chen Hu would go to Shao Brothers to cooperate, followed by Princess Jin, and Golden Harvest ranked last.As far as the matter is concerned, although Ye Jingcheng and Zou Wenhuai had some unpleasant things before, it was just a scheme to take advantage of each other at that time.

Moreover, Golden Harvest is not like Golden Princess or Shaw Brothers in terms of film release. The former needs a strong rise, while the latter is to prove that it is not the end of the hero.So they will use various means to build a big box office in the local market.

Golden Harvest's main market is overseas. Anyway, the No.1 in the local market has been taken away by Qingdeng Entertainment, so what's the difference between ranking second and third?

How can I say that Zou Wenhuai is a person of some status, if you don't fight, you must fight for the first place.Now that he can't fight for the first place, he naturally doesn't need to hold on so tightly, and may even make a concession to a certain extent.

As for Princess Jin, or directly his principal, Lei Juekun.To describe it in simple words, no matter what, he is the one who wants to be number one.

When Ye Jingcheng was busy dealing with the business, he used a clever trick to make all the media's opinions tilt towards Princess Jin.It is almost to promote that Princess Jin, a rising star, is capable of declaring war with Jiahe and Qingdeng.

However, the business strategy of the Golden Princess is really good. Lei Juekun voluntarily gave up the big cake of the overseas market, and thus chose to focus on the local box office.

It seems to be putting the cart before the horse, because the other theaters all take up the bulk of the overseas box office, but there is a saying that you have to eat every bite.

Although, Lei Juekun's eating is not very good, or he eats like a starving ghost.But it is undeniable that he is laying a solid foundation for the Golden Princess, which is conducive to future development.

The only risk to bear is that if the films produced by Golden Princess fail many times at the box office, and there is not much money to operate and bear, then Golden Princess is not far from bankruptcy.

If Chen Hu goes to work with Golden Princess, the impact on resources will be mentioned. Golden Princess itself will not have enough resources. At that time, more or less, the resources of her own production will definitely be allocated.Moreover, money laundering is also a taboo, which will inevitably attract the attention of certain departments of the Hong Kong government.

But Chen Hu was right not to choose Princess Jin. If he took the initiative to seek cooperation and Lei Juekun was willing to give him a chance to cooperate, then naturally there was no need to say anything, but what if Lei Juekun refused?

Now it's not the clubs fighting for territory on the street, people on both sides are shouting and killing each other, not to mention Lei Juekun is not afraid of him, unless Chen Hu dares to buy murder.

Doing business is all about harmony and making money. Another one, if he entered the market too high-profile, wouldn't it be clear that he was laundering money for the society?This will inevitably attract more attention.

As for why Ye Jingcheng most expected Chen Hu to find Shao's cooperation.The reason is actually very simple. Recently, he was talking about TVB's 5% stake in George Madden.

This step is critical to who he and Shao Yifu can be in charge of TVB. It would be best if someone can distract Shao Yifu's attention at this time.

knock!knock!Nibbling!
"Ye Sheng, your coffee." Li Zhi handed Ye Jingcheng a cup of coffee on time.

After putting the coffee on the table, Li Zhi said, "By the way, Ye Sheng. Chen Baixiang called and said he wanted to see you. He said that an artist wanted to unilaterally terminate the contract, and he needed to ask you for advice first."

"An artist wants to terminate the contract?" Ye Jingcheng asked doubtfully.

This kind of thing is not small or big.Usually, Chen Baixiang handles it by himself, and then submits a report.First of all, the artists on Hong Kong Island are not like those in the mainland, especially in the hot entertainment circle of later generations, which stars are paid tens of thousands of dollars per minute for fighting.

It is difficult to become a star on Hong Kong Island, but the salary is not necessarily high.Just like the actors in TVB series, except for a few big stars who enjoy extremely high salaries, the monthly income of some No. [-] and No. [-] characters may not be as high as a job.

Such various external factors make some people unsuitable for development in this line of work.

In addition, there are some people who started out with the mentality of having fun or dreaming of being a star. Once they get bored or cannot achieve their goals in a short period of time, they will easily choose to give up.

"You call him over."

Since Chen Baixiang said that he needs to ask him for advice on this matter, it must be that the artist who wants to unilaterally terminate the contract has a personal relationship with him, or this artist has achieved certain achievements in the circle.

In less than 10 minutes, Chen Baixiang was already standing in front of Ye Jingcheng.

"What's going on?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"Boss, it's like this." After Li Zhi handed him a cup of tea and left the office, Chen Baixiang sat down and explained the whole thing.

"Ah Fa came to see me a few days ago. I saw that he was not very happy, so I asked him if there was anything wrong. He told me that he wanted to rest for a while."

"Actually, I agree with him very much. When a person is under pressure, just ask him how long he wants to rest. Boss, do you know how long Ah Fa wants to rest?" Chen Baixiang asked in an exaggerated tone.

"You mean Zhou Runfa wants to leave?" Ye Jingcheng frowned, motioning for Chen Baixiang to continue.

"Yeah, that's him." Chen Baixiang took a sip of tea and continued: "Boss, you know what I am, and I have always been straightforward. Ah Fa just said that he wanted to rest for a year or two."

"Then I'll ask him, one or two years is still called a break? You just say that you don't want to do it, which is almost the same as the company's termination of the contract."

Speaking of this, Chen Baixiang basically explained the whole thing clearly.Next, Zhou Runfa told him that he was indeed planning to terminate the contract with the company first, and asked about liquidated damages.

If it was someone else, even if he didn't come to ask Ye Jingcheng for instructions, Chen Baixiang still had the right to sweep this person.

The problem is that Zhou Run made this issue very popular. First, "The True Colors of Heroes" was popular, and then "Prison Storm" became popular.It has vaguely become a face of the company, and it is absolutely difficult for him to kick the other party away like this.

"His contract is still the old one?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

The contract that the company signed with Zhou Runfa at the beginning was not as long as Zhou Xingchi's eight-year contract. Zhou Runfa's contract was only a short three years.So almost two years have passed, and the contract between Zhou Runfa and the company has only one year left.

At the beginning, the issue of breach of contract was clearly written in the contract.If Zhou Runfa wants to unilaterally breach the contract, he must pay at least 300 million liquidated damages on an annual basis. For Zhou Runfa back then, 300 million was a huge sum that he absolutely couldn't afford.But for him today, it's just the pay for three or four movies.

But another thing that made Ye Jingcheng think of it was that Zhou Run found out that he wanted to terminate the contract. It might not be his own intention, but other film companies wanted to poach him in advance.
