Chapter 98: I want to stand on my own
Ouyang Jin took out his smartphone "Golden Generation", opened the memo he wrote, and started reporting to Duan Xiaochen.
"The physical publishing side is fine. I contacted the well-known 'Xinya Publishing House' in the industry in your name. This publishing house belongs to the 'Zhenzhen Culture' and is currently the most domestic agency publishing top fairy tales, fantasy, and science fiction. Publishing House, which has cooperated with Creation Chinese Network a long time ago, and has a good reputation in the minds of readers.”
Ouyang Jin continued: "I promise that this year is the 10th anniversary of your debut, and you will soon publish an autobiography. Your autobiography will be given priority to them for publication under the same conditions. They agreed to give Brother Lin Ke's "Zhu Xian" a 14% royalty. . This royalty is usually only available to long-established, big-name writers."
Duan Xiaochen drank the mineral water and nodded, with a look of approval: "You did a good job."
"However, I have encountered some difficulties in terms of film and television rights and game adaptation rights."
"How to say?"
A slightly helpless smile appeared on Ouyang Jin's handsome face, which was so beautiful that both men and women killed him, "Zhu Xian's momentum is so fierce now, and it is indeed very suitable for film and television adaptation. It is impossible for those big companies to not see it. But several big companies, including us Including the film and television department of Zitian Entertainment, they have reached an agreement in private to avoid competition and raise prices, and to buy the film and television adaptation rights of this book at the lowest price."
Duan Xiaochen rubbed his swollen temples, his tone was not very good: "These vampire capitalists. What about the smaller companies?"
"As far as I know, there are indeed some small companies that are willing to make higher bids, and the Genesis Chinese website is also inclined to agree."
Duan Xiaochen was taken aback: "Isn't this a good thing?"
Ouyang Jin smiled, "If brother Lin Ke is in a hurry to ask for money, that's really a good thing."
Duan Xiaochen is now dizzy and in no mood to think, and asked directly: "What does it mean? There should be a but later."
Ouyang Jin explained: "Well, the problem is that these small companies have limited strength, and it is difficult to get enough funds to make "Zhu Xian" well. And since they are not obedient, they have to raise the price to buy "Zhu Xian", those big companies Naturally, they will not invest, and they will also be stuck in actors and other aspects."
"So if those small companies buy the film and television copyright of "Zhu Xian", I don't know when it will be put on the screen, even if it is released smoothly, it is estimated that the quality is not very good, but it will make Brother Lin Ke notorious. "
"I see." Duan Xiaochen said dully. She buried her head and pressed her temples hard with both hands.
"I'll press it for you!" Ouyang Jin put down the phone and said gently.
"No, I'm afraid of being photographed." Duan Xiaochen said.
Ouyang Jin disagreed: "I'm your manager, what's wrong with helping you massage? Let them take pictures with them."
"No, I'm afraid Brother Du will be jealous."
Ouyang Jin was both angry and funny. "It's not that he doesn't know, we have known each other for so many years, and he has seen me with my boyfriend with his own eyes."
"That doesn't work either." Duan Xiaochen smiled slightly, thinking to himself, he probably won't remember these things.
Ouyang Jin gave her a resentful look and let her experience it for herself.
After a while, Duan Xiaochen said, "I have one and a half years left in my contract. President Xiong talked to me last time, suggesting that I can be allowed to open my own studio without renewing the contract, but the company has to take a certain share."
Ouyang Jin said: "Well, this is a good thing. There is such a trend now that big stars will gradually open their own studios to reduce exploitation by entertainment companies."
"You said..." Duan Xiaochen said quietly, "Can I discuss with the company and buy out the contract in advance? Then I will not open a studio, I will open my own entertainment company."
Ouyang Jin felt a headache: "Auntie, don't think about it! Is it so easy to open an entertainment company by yourself? Can Zitian agree with you to open a studio,
They will even help out, but the premise is that your studio is attached to Zitian, and you can continue to create benefits for them. They will definitely not agree that you open your own entertainment company, you open a studio, or their vassal; you open an entertainment company, and that is their competitor. "
Duan Xiaochen raised his head, a glint of light flashed in his beautiful eyes, "Do you think I am not qualified to be their competitor?"
Ouyang Jin was silent for a moment and said, "At least for a short time, I'm not qualified."
"What if you add Brother Du. You know his ability to hold a celebrity. In a few years, he can easily pick up a few new singers and queens. You can watch all the seven newly registered songs. Right? The first classic."
"Moreover, he can also write good novels and create such valuable big IPs."
"If he joins forces with me, do you think we can gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry?"
"Take a step back. I'll give Zitian Entertainment 10% of the shares and Donglai Entertainment's 10% of the shares in exchange for their support for a period of time. Is this all right?"
Zitian Entertainment and Donglai Entertainment are both the top entertainment companies in China, and they belong to the ranks of the "seven giants" together with Tianyi Entertainment, Yinxing Entertainment, and Duan's Pictures.
Ouyang Jin rubbed his handsome face and said with a wry smile: "Auntie, this is a very complicated issue! The big companies are rich and powerful, even if you give them 10% of the shares, they will not necessarily help you, or even secretly suppress them. .Why on earth are you so whimsical?"
"Isn't it every girl's dream to have a husband-and-wife relationship with the person she likes?"
Duan Xiaochen's rhetorical question left Ouyang Jin speechless for a while.
Duan Xiaochen put away his smile: "Go and talk to the bosses above. Tell them that my attitude is very firm."
Ouyang Jin sighed and said, "Okay, you are my boss, you can say whatever you want."
Duan Xiaochen said softly: "Brother Jin, I'm not fanciful. I really think that this can make a career."
Ouyang Jin was silent for a while before he said, "You are betting on him, it's too risky."
Duan Xiaochen's voice like the sound of nature said: "Isn't he worth betting on? Besides, there is me. With my strength, can't I support an entertainment company?"
Ouyang Jin stared at her in a daze, a strange feeling welled up in his heart.
Mingming had close contact every day, but before she knew it, she found that she had undergone tremendous changes.
Maybe love can really change a person.
After calming down, Ouyang Jin said, "I will talk to the top of the company, and I will also communicate with Donglai Entertainment. What price are you going to pay for buying out the contract? How much will the new company's shares be given? Except Donglai Entertainment. , will the other 'Big Seven' work?"
Duan Xiaochen pondered for a while and said, "I don't plan to spend any money to buy out the contract. I will give them up to 25% of the shares of the new company, and an agreement on resource replacement must be reached."
"If you can't talk about Donglai Entertainment, you can consider Tianyi Entertainment. In the Seventh National Congress, I remember that the senior management of Yinxing and Jiutian Media have had some festivals with Lin Ke; Duan's Films and Oasis Films have no music resources. "
"If Tianyi can't agree, then you can also consider a lower-level company, such as Huayu, who is preparing to cooperate with Lin Ke."
"In short, I have decided that I must be independent. Brother Jin, please!"
Ouyang Jin sighed, "I'll do my best."
