This star’s style is wrong

Tuesday morning, regular studio meeting.

So far, Fang Xing has been accepting work in the name of the studio.

Although the new company "Ark Culture" was registered, the company's framework has not yet been established.

In a sense, this company is now a leather company.

The work of the company is mainly done by the employees of the studio.

However, currently, Ark Culture only has one project, "Singing Out Loud".

Moreover, as long as Feifan Entertainment is producing this project, Ark Culture actually doesn’t have much workload.

However, as the company continues to expand its business, the company will definitely expand in size.

Fang Xing has also been asking Qiao Yinghong to pay attention to talents in this field, especially to find a suitable human resources director.

"Boss, I have asked my acquaintances at the headhunting company to help keep an eye on HR talents. I have also received a few resumes, but it is still at the preliminary understanding stage. This matter requires both parties to be interested before the next step can be taken." Qiao Yinghong said Let’s report on the previous work first.

Immediately afterwards.

Fang Xing began to arrange the selection of songs with the theme of kingship: "Guo Keda, I sent you the demo of the song with the theme of kingship this morning. Have you listened to it?"

"Of course I did, you're awesome!" Guo Keda gave a thumbs up, with the word "adoration" written all over his body.

"Okay, you don't answer announcements these days. You mainly practice the rap part. Let's do it together tomorrow. What I want is refreshing and free rap." Fang Xing arranged for Guo Keda to practice singing first, and the chorus effect, We'll have to wait until we practice together tomorrow to find out.

Guo Keda scratched his forehead with his finger and assured: "No problem, I have already pushed all the announcements for this week. The thought of being on satellite TV makes all the pores in my body excited."

Fang Xing looked at Qiao Yinghong and said, "Is there any other work content to discuss?"

Fang Xing no longer needs to interfere with trivial matters in the studio.

However, when it comes to management and song issues, we still have to report to Fang Xing.

Qiao Yinghong pulled out a work report and said, "It's like this. There is a cooperation plan for Happy Entertainment Company. The boss needs to take a look."

As she spoke, she pushed a plan in front of Fang Xing.

Fang Xing took it over and flipped through it. The content was about "Unfortunately No If".

Qiao Yinghong explained on the side: "Happy Entertainment is Shen Xiyin's agency, and they want to release "Unfortunately No If". They said that the CD version should be recorded first and released simultaneously when the program is broadcast.

"The other party also said that you can choose to sing a chorus or Shen Xiyin sings solo. For this reason, Happy Entertainment is willing to pay a one-time payment of 3 million to purchase the license. At the same time, our studio will share 30% of the subsequent profits."

The song "Unfortunately No If" was sung by Fang Xing and Shen Xiyin on the show, but the CD version has not yet been recorded.

Moreover, "Sing Out Loud" was not played either.

Generally speaking, it is normal for songs like this that are first sung on a show to be released simultaneously when the show is broadcast.

But, here’s the problem.

Huanxi Entertainment wants to use their channels to release this song.

The price offered is a bit embarrassing.

The copyright fee of three million is considered good for ordinary songs.

However, if Songshi Records is released, Fang Xing can get 50% of the profit share.

The practice of happy entertainment is a bit strange.

If Fang Xing really agrees with Joy Entertainment to release "Unfortunately No If", it means that Joy Entertainment has eaten the cake of Songshi Records, and at the same time the share is only 30%.

"I don't understand, what does this company want to do?" Fang Xing's face was full of confusion.

In fact, the conditions proposed by Happy Entertainment are actually pretty good in the domestic music scene. Ninety percent of musicians will agree to this plan.

Only gold medal producers like Xu Shangyan and Li Yucheng would sneer at this kind of cooperation.

So far, Fang Xing has received a 50% share of the songs he sings for other singers. Even the diva Zhang Huiying has the same ratio.

This makes the cooperation plan of Huanxi Entertainment feel like a free hand.

Qiao Yinghong guessed casually: "Maybe Happy Entertainment wants to make a price first and wait for us to counter-offer. Or maybe they feel that Shen Xiyin has already sung this song on the show, and they have to give it to them whether they want to or not." "

Fang Xing became even more confused and asked, "Did Shen Xiyin come over and say that she wanted to release "Unfortunately No If"?"

Xiao Zhao, the executive broker in charge of the contact, shook his head quickly: "I didn't see Shen Xiyin, it was Shen Xiyin's agent who talked to me. Because the boss and Shen Xiyin just worked together, I'm not sure whether the boss and Shen Xiyin talked about this, so I can only report this job."

Fang Xing thought for a moment and said, "Sister Hong, please talk to Shen Xiyin and see if she really wants to release this song."

Qiao Yinghong nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll call Shen Xiyin at noon and ask what they think."

…

At two o'clock in the afternoon.

Fang Xing's cell phone rang. When he picked it up, it was Qiao Yinghong's call.

"Boss, Shen Xiyin came to the studio and said that she wanted to explain to you in person. I have already talked to her. She had some problems with her agency and she has been apologizing to me. If the boss is not available, I will Let her go back first and we will discuss it in detail at the next meeting."

Qiao Yinghong said that she couldn't explain the matter clearly on the phone and that the matter was not urgent, so she could leave it for another meeting.

Fang Xing just had time, so he said, "Forget it, I'm near the company, just go there."

Ten minutes later.

Fang Xing returned to the company. As soon as Shen Xiyin entered the door, Shen Xiyin stood up quickly and said with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, I really don't know about the song release. The company made the decision without permission, and the manager never told me this matter."

"Sit down first."

Fang Xing pointed to the chairs in the conference room.

After Shen Xiyin sat down, he sighed and said: "Actually, my contract is about to expire. Chaoyin Culture wanted to sign a contract with me before. My company also wanted to renew the contract, but I couldn't make up my mind, so neither party agreed.

"After the limited group was disbanded, Huanxi kept talking to me about contract renewal and never arranged a job for me.

"This time, Mr. Tong approached me for "Sing Out Loud", although the contract was signed by my manager.

"I know Teacher Fang's rules. Singers do not get a commission, so I dare not ask for the release of "Unfortunately No If".

"I swear, it really wasn't my idea, I swear."

She held up three fingers with a serious expression on her face.

Fang Xing smiled easy-going and said: "Don't be so nervous, the cooperation plan sent by Huanlei is not in line with my regular cooperation plan.

"So, I originally wanted to ask you, is Huanyuan making an offer and waiting for us to make a counter-offer?"

Shen Xiyin frowned and said doubtfully: "I... don't know either. During the two years I was in the limited group, Huanxi basically didn't participate in the work, and just took a share of the work.

"So, I don't know much about Huanxi now."

Fang Xing looked at her and asked, "Then do you want to release "Unfortunately No If"?"

Shen Xiyin nodded vigorously: "Of course I want to, how could I not want to, but I don't dare to hope, I will follow the teacher's arrangements."

Qiao Yinghong interjected and expressed a possibility: "Boss, Huanxuan may be trying to force her to renew her contract, and is deliberately trying to punish her."

Fang Xing also asked curiously: "Are you sure it's okay if you don't renew your contract with Huanxi?"

usually.

The brokerage company will more or less have some dirty information about the artist. When the contract expires, this dirty information will be a strong weight.

In other words, if Huanyue wants to force Shen Xiyin to renew her contract, but Shen Xiyin refuses to agree, both parties will break up, and Huanyuan may directly destroy her.

Shen Xiyin nodded and affirmed: "I really don't want to renew the contract."

In fact, Fang Xing knew a bit about Shen Xiyin's agency.

Although Shen Xiyin was quite popular during the two years she was in the limited group, she actually didn't make much money herself.

Artists like her who started out as trainees usually make an appointment with a manager from their original agency, and the share ratio is 28/20.

In other words, Shen Xiyin can only get 20%.

However, the actual money she received was actually far less than 20%.

Because of her advertising fee during the limited tour period, Chaoyin Culture had to cut off more than half of it first, and then her original company cut off another 80%, and also deducted operating expenses, etc. The money that actually came to her hands was actually not much.

Of course, it depends on who she is compared with. Based on her income, she can actually live a very prosperous life.

Fang Xing asked curiously: "You don't want to renew the contract, and you don't want to sign with Chaoyin Culture. Have you found a good partner?"

Shen Xiyin was stunned for a moment and replied: "No, but Mr. Tong talked to me and asked me about the contract. After the limited group was disbanded, the first S-level resource was given by Mr. Tong, and I trust her more. "

Fang Xing nodded and said, "I roughly understand the matter. You don't need to be too nervous. If nothing happens, just go back first."

Shen Xiyin bowed and apologized several times before being sent out by Qiao Yinghong.

After Qiao Yinghong sent the person away, she returned to the conference room and asked, "Does the boss want to sign Shen Xiyin?"

Fang Xing thought about it and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Our studio is too small and can't bring in so many artists. Even if we expand the scale, we won't be able to develop it within two or three years."

In fact.

Lu Ming and Guo Keda were indeed signed under the studio's name, but in fact the studio did not have a management team to lead them.

Guo Keda basically answered the call by himself, and sometimes brought Lu Ming and Shao Yu with him.

Now the team in the studio is very busy with the song business.

This is under the premise that Fang Xing usually doesn't answer announcements.

If you want to sign Shen Xiyin, you can't just sign a record contract.

If she signs a management contract, a management team must be formed to take care of her. Otherwise, even if she has no objection at the beginning, she will become dissatisfied over time.

After all, Shen Xiyin is not a simple singer. She is an artist who debuted in an idol group. She cannot only sing but also take on other jobs. It is impossible without a management team to take care of her.

Moreover, the businesses of entertainment companies, brokerage companies, film and television companies, and record companies vary greatly.

Songshi Records, for example, is a record company that mainly produces music. The company basically only signs singers, and the jobs it accepts for singers are basically related to singing.

Feifan Entertainment is a production company that specializes in producing variety shows.

Previously, Feifan Entertainment even "sold" the agency contracts of artists who debuted in the talent show to Chaoyin Culture.

Film and television companies such as Jade Bird Media and Ruide Film and Television only sign actors and directors even if they sign artists.

Chaoyin Culture is more like a brokerage company that specializes in operating idol groups. It accepts any job, including commercial performances, variety shows, and film and television. As long as it can make money, it will accept any job.

A company needs to find its correct positioning and cannot do everything.

Fang Xing prefers to create content rather than manage artists.

Therefore, he did not extend an olive branch to Shen Xiyin.

Mainly, I don’t plan to spend my energy on managing artists.

…

Thursday, two days before the recording of the second chorus session of "Sing Out Loud".

Tong Fei used her personal mobile phone to make an appointment for a meal.

Fang Xing was not busy, so he agreed to have dinner with her.

While eating, we first chatted about program production.

"Besides you, me and Penguin Video, have you also received investment from other capitals?" Fang Xing asked seemingly casually.

Tong Fei laughed and said: "I know what you mean. But don't worry, except for the three of us, there are no big investors.

"The investment of some small companies is actually to send singers to appear on the program. This situation is very common, and they will not interfere in the production of the program.

"As for Tan Zhiguan, he has a relationship with Donghai Satellite TV. After all, our program will be broadcast on Donghai Satellite TV. We cannot refuse this."

Fang Xing didn't pay much attention at first, so he asked instead, "Mr. Tong came to have dinner with me today, just to talk about the show?"

Tong Fei smiled heartily and said, "Do you really have to say everything so clearly? You can't just have a meal."

"I'm so free, it's okay to just have a meal, but for a busy man like Mr. Tong, it's impossible to just have a meal." Fang Xing already knew this woman very well, and knew that she definitely didn't do it just for the sake of eating.

Tong Fei folded her hands and held her chin, and said: "The popularity of fluorescent girls has begun to decline, and "Chinese" is about to fall off the hot song list.

"When will Mr. Fang arrange another song for them?"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "Mr. Tong is here to invite me to sing. I can't even prepare a song for myself, so there's no time left."

Tong Feicai didn't believe it and teased: "I don't believe it. You say you have no songs every time, but you always come up with new songs."

"Then I'll arrange for Songshi's music production department to customize a song for Mr. Tong?" Fang Xing suggested.

Nowadays, many idol groups’ songs are customized in cooperation with record companies and well-known producers.

If Tong Fei really wanted to find a record company to customize a song, she wouldn't need to treat Fang Xing to dinner.

She shook her head and said, "I don't want theirs, I just want yours."

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "They sang about waste."

Tong Fei raised her brows and said, "You still say no, because you have something good and you won't take it out."

Fang Xing smiled and said nothing.

Tong Fei also knew that there were only a few people in the limited group Fluorescent Girls who could sing.

Idol groups are basically at this level.

Besides, if the song is sung by a fluorescent girl, Tong Fei will naturally make a lot of money, but why?

Tong Fei understood this and did not continue to force it. Instead, she asked: "Shen Xiyin's contract with her original agency is about to expire. I heard from Xiyin that you have talked about this matter.

"Do you want to sign Shen Xiyin? If you want to sign, I won't steal it.

"You can't take it away even if you try. Just give her a song and she'll follow you with her eyes closed."

Fang Xing shook his head and said, "I want to focus on content and don't plan to waste my energy on managing artists."

When Tong Fei heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "If you don't want to waste your energy, you can leave it to me. How about we open a brokerage company together.

"Re-register a brokerage company, we will jointly sign Shen Xiyin, I will be responsible for forming a team to lead her, and you will be responsible for the content.

"Fluorescent girls can also sign into this agency, so you don't have to hide your secrets. What do you think?"

Fang Xing was very interested when he heard this plan.

Feifan Entertainment's company is very large, and if Tong Fei is responsible for running the brokerage company, there will really be no problem.

Moreover, she is already running Fluorescent Girls, and the framework of the agency has been established.

"How does Mr. Tong plan to allocate the shares?" Fang Xing asked.

"Each 50%, my team is responsible for the operation, and you have a veto right. Our joint-stock brokerage company is only responsible for managing artists and not responsible for other things." Tong Fei replied.

What this means is that the copyright of songs, TV series and other content is not held by this agency.

Fang Xing nodded slowly and said, "This plan is okay."

In the entertainment industry, the larger the company, the more shareholders it has, and it is normal to operate as a joint stock company.

If Fang Xing wants to focus on content, he definitely doesn't have that much energy to manage the company.

At present, Tong Fei is very sincere and can cooperate.

If you cooperate well, you can become a long-term partner and it will be a win-win situation.

If the cooperation is not pleasant, then let’s talk about it separately.

As long as the copyrights of songs, movies and TV series are placed in Ark Culture, the foundation will be solid.

In other areas, cooperation can be carried out freely.
