“Hello sir, do you have an appointment?”
“Ms. Yang Mi’s private room, my last name is Qiu”
“OK, please follow me.”
The place agreed with Yang Mi was not in her company Jiaxing but in a high-end restaurant. This was Qiu Bai’s request. Of course, he just said that he didn’t want to talk in Jiaxing. The restaurant was decided by Yang Mi.
“This is Ms. Yang Mi’s private room. Please come in, sir.”
“Thank you.”
Qiu Bai knocked on the door after the waiter left.
“Come in, I just saw you.”
Yang Mi’s voice was very nasal and easy to recognize.
Qiu Bai pushed open the door, and to his surprise, Yang Mi was the only one in the room.
“Hello, Teacher Yang Mi, I am Qiu Bai”
“You’re welcome, take a seat. But, did you really take a taxi here? I thought you were just pretending to be like that on the Internet.”
Yang Mi seemed to be talking casually, but in fact, such words could quickly bring the two people closer.
“To be honest, I only have 926 yuan left on me. Maybe I won’t be able to afford a taxi soon.”
Qiu Bai said with a smile, and then took a look at Yang Mi.
Her hair was loose, and she wore a white shirt with a small red tie at the neckline, and a black skirt.
She was capable and charming, and this professional outfit added a lot of color to her.
“Maybe after today you will become a millionaire all of a sudden?”
Yang Mi said with a hint of meaning. Jiaxing gave him a signing fee of 8 million. Of course, if he breached the contract, he would have to pay 80 million.
“I hope so too”
“Try it and see if it suits your taste.”
Yang Mi pointed at the food on the table and said with a smile.
Qiu Bai looked at it and said with a smile:
“No, let’s talk business first, or we won’t feel at ease while eating.”
Yang Mi glanced at Qiu Bai and said with a smile:
“Do you think it would be hard to refuse my offer of a meal if we fail to reach a cooperation agreement? Don’t worry, I’m not that stingy. It’s just a meal.”
“I know that Teacher Yang Mi doesn’t need this meal, but I also ask Teacher Yang Mi to understand the self-esteem of a little actor like me.”
“Okay, I respect you, so let’s talk first. First of all, I am very grateful that you are willing to talk to me, and secondly, I would like to introduce our company to you.
Although our company was only established last year, we have rich operational concepts, and the internal resources of the company are no less than those of other companies.
Of course, what you should be concerned about is your contract.
Then I will just say it directly, the signing fee is 8 million, which is already the signing fee for second-tier artists, and you have not officially debuted yet.
In addition, the company promises to arrange two drama contracts for you every year, at least one of which will be a male lead.
Finally, there is the issue of profit sharing. You can inquire about the profit sharing of ordinary companies. It is 70% to 30% or even 80% to 20%, but we will give you a 50% to 50% share.
I think this is enough to show the sincerity of our company, right?”
Qiu Bai nodded and said:
“I know about the 70% to 80% or even 80% split. That is the split that the film and television company gives to the actors they train, including the initial packaging fee and training fee. It seems that there is no need to train me. In other words, other artists may not be able to make money for the company.
After I sign the contract, I can help the company make money immediately. After all, my popularity and topic are still quite high now.”
Yang Mi didn’t say anything, just looked at Qiu Bai. Negotiations are all about asking for a high price and paying a low price.
“As for the eight million signing fee, it was indeed very high in the past, but for an artist with such a large traffic as mine in recent years, this signing fee is not considered high.
I heard that Brother Kun’s signing fee is frighteningly high. Although my traffic is not as terrifying as his, the difference is not that much.
Finally, although traffic is dominant now, it comes and goes quickly. In addition, the traffic from the four returning sons, the three little ones, and the major talent shows has almost divided up the market.
What I rely on is my acting skills and my strength. In our circle, no matter what time, in the final analysis, the powerful ones have more potential and can go further.
Therefore, I think my value should still be quite high.”
“But how can you be sure that you can monetize your value?”
“Shouldn’t this be a problem I should consider? Shouldn’t it be a problem the company should consider?
If I have the ability to cash in, why should I sign a contract with a company?”
Yang Mi looked at Qiu Bai, her expression gradually became serious, and after a moment of silence, she said:
“Well, tell me your conditions.”
“In this case, I will speak frankly. First of all, I will not sign a contract with Jiaxing.
Yang Mi frowned:
“So why did you ask me out? Are you kidding me?”
“Teacher Yang Mi, I don’t have such an idea. Can you let me finish?”
“you say”
“I don’t want to sign a contract with Jiaxing, I want to sign it with you personally, which means that from now on, you will be solely responsible for everything about me and it has nothing to do with Jiaxing.”
Qiu Bai’s words made Yang Mi look puzzled:
“Do you know that even my own contract is registered under Jiaxing’s name? What’s the point of doing this?”
“I don’t trust Jiaxing, but I can trust you, Teacher Yang Mi.”
Yang Mi was stunned again:
“Wait a minute, although I am quite happy that you said that, I don’t quite understand what you mean.”
“To be frank, I don’t believe in the future development of Jiaxing”
“You believe in me? But you don’t believe in Jiaxing? Do you think that if I can continue to have good development in the future, Jiaxing will not be able to develop? This is very contradictory”
“No, what if one day you are no longer in Jiaxing?”
“How is that possible!”
“There is a saying in my hometown that you should never do business with close people.
When you are not making money at the beginning, everyone may work together and share the joys and sorrows, but when you start to make money, because of the sharing of profits or the right to speak, or even because of one person doing more or the other doing less, it will eventually fall apart.
As far as I know, Teacher Yang Mi doesn’t own much shares.”
Seven years later, Yang Mi, who had done so much for Jiaxing, was kicked out of Jiaxing. Qiu Bai remembered this very clearly.
However, Yang Mi seemed to be indifferent to Qiu Bai’s words:
“Qiu Bai, you really think too much. I thought you would distrust me because I participated in the gambling agreement, but I didn’t expect it was because of this.”
“No! I believe that Teacher Yang Mi will win the bet, but I don’t trust your other two partners.”
Yang Mi looked at Qiu Bai in confusion and said:
“Qiu Bai, you didn’t say that just to flatter me, did you? You believed me in the bet agreement, but you don’t believe in the company I founded?”
“Teacher Yang Mi, I am very serious. If you can’t agree to this condition, we don’t need to talk about the rest.”
Yang Mi looked at Qiu Bai with a serious face. She found that this young handsome boy in front of her was really different. He was too decisive and too determined.
