Chapter 487 487. There is a new person in the company
After leaving the office, Ou Di looked a little confused. Ma Dong had called him over and said that they would discuss something later, but he didn't tell Ou Di what it was specifically, just asking him to wait for a while.
Soon, a staff member took Ou Di to the lounge nearby and made him a pot of tea. Ou Di smiled and said thank you, then sat on the sofa and drank one cup after another.
Although he was curious about what Nie Wei wanted to do when he called him over, Ou Di was not worried about anything. After all, he had just signed the contract and would definitely not let him leave the show, so what was there to be afraid of?
After waiting for a while, Ou Di finished a pot of tea, then flipped through the magazines in the lounge. Just when he was about to fall asleep, a staff member came in and asked him to go to Ma Dong's office.
Ou Di quickly stood up, tidied the wrinkles on his clothes, and then followed the staff to the door of the office.
After walking in, he found that not only Ma Dong was there, but Nie Wei was also there.
"You're almost asleep." Ma Dong smiled and teased Ou Di, who walked in with a listless look.
"No, no, I drank a pot of tea and I'm energetic." Ou Di was no longer sleepy when he heard this, and he quickly perked up and smiled brightly.
Nie Wei, who was standing by, laughed secretly in his heart. This guy must not have looked in the mirror before entering the door, and the sleep marks on his face were so obvious.
Fortunately, no one exposed Ou Di's lie. After joking, Ma Dong asked Ou Di directly: "Ou Di, do you have an agency or an agent now?"
Ou Di was stunned when he heard this. Agency and agent? He really wanted to say to Ma Dong, "Don't make fun of me." What kind of celebrity was he before filming "Infinite Challenge"? The money he earned was not enough for his living expenses. How could he have extra money to share with the agency and agent? Besides, who would look up to him?
After self-deprecation, Ou Di quickly realized that Ma Dong was not asking this question for no reason. Since there was a reason, it was easy to guess that this was Ma Dong's rhythm to sign him.
At that moment, Ou Di felt like a pie was hit by a pie.
Although signing with an agency will definitely take away some money, compared to what he gets, it is just a drizzle. Signing with Ma Dong's company, at least in Ou Di's opinion, his position in "Infinite Challenge" will be stable, and he doesn't have to worry every day.
After all, he is a foreigner from Taiwan, and he has no connections and no popularity in the mainland. Now that the show is so popular, he is really excited and afraid of being squeezed out. After all, this is common in the variety show circle of Taiwan.
But after signing with Ma Dong and Nie Wei's company, Ou Di can be sure that at least his position in the "Infinite Challenge" program is stable, so why would he care about the money that was taken away?
What's more, this company has great development potential. In addition, he also learned that the company's artists are very scarce. After joining, he will definitely get a lot of resources. Compared with the little share he paid, it is definitely a lot of money.
Thinking of the excitement, Ou Di jumped up from his seat and shook his head at Ma Dong: "No, no, I don't have an agent, let alone an agency."
Looking at the excitement of the young man, Ma Dong smiled and pressed his hand, motioning him to sit down and say.
"I just discussed with Nie Wei. We are all optimistic about your performance in variety shows. If you don't have an agency, why don't you come to our Fanxing Entertainment?"
Ou Di smiled in his heart, nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, thinking that he was waiting for you to say this.
"Haha, since you are willing, I have a contract here, take a look." Ma Dong never thought that Ou Di would refuse, so he had already drafted the contract and was waiting for Ou Di to nod and take it out.
Taking the contract, Ou Di forced himself to calm down and read the contract seriously.
The contract is for five years, and there are no harsh clauses such as no dating. Ou Di suddenly felt happy when he thought of this. Although he was an idol, it turned out that he failed. Now he is just a pure variety show star. How can a variety show star have a dating clause in his contract? He really thinks too much.
Then he saw that the company's share of the salary for filming variety shows was really less than 20%, which was completely within Ou Di's acceptable range. In fact, he had expected to be divided into more than half of the salary before, but he didn't expect Nie Wei and Ma Dong to be so kind, which made Ou Di a little moved.
Then the company asked for 50% of the rights in terms of portrait rights. Ou Di didn't care much about this. After all, he could count the number of commercials he had shot since his debut with one hand. If the company can really negotiate an advertising contract for him, 50% of the money is worth it, which is much better than not getting any.
Then there are similar shares for writing lyrics and composing music, writing books, and commercial performances, etc. The proportions are in line with the market, and there are no exploitative clauses.
There were some things in the contract that made Ou Di jealous, such as a nanny car, an agent team, and some subsidies. Seeing these, Ou Di felt relieved and asked Ma Dong for a pen and wrote his name on the spot.
The contract was in duplicate, Ou Di carefully put away his own copy, while Ma Dong handed the contract to Nie Wei, and then smiled at Ou Di: "Ou Di, congratulations on joining Fanxing Entertainment. We will be colleagues in the same company from now on."
"Congratulations." Ou Di replied with a smile.
On the other side, Nie Wei took a quick look at the contract and put it down, then asked Ou Di: "Are you still running back and forth between Formosa and Kyoto? I suggest that you temporarily give up the development of Formosa. Running back and forth between the two places is a waste of time. I hope you can concentrate on recording "Infinite Challenge" in the mainland. We will also take on some commercial hosting activities and advertising endorsements for you."
"Okay, I agree." Ou Di made a decision quickly after listening to it. There was really no work in Formosa that was worth him staying for. Just as Nie Wei said, it was undoubtedly right to concentrate on developing in the mainland. He now has an agency, and he must take advantage of this good momentum to work hard!
Seeing that Ou Di agreed readily, Nie Wei told him that the company would help him get a work permit for the mainland. Ou Di enjoyed the convenience of having an agency and smiled happily.
Ma Dong quickly took Ou Di, a newcomer who had joined the company, to visit the company, while Nie Wei left the company and took a car back to Huayi Group.
As soon as he entered the company, the girl at the front desk told Nie Wei that Cheng Kun was waiting in his office.
Nie Wei was not surprised by this, because this was what Nie Wei had told Cheng Kun before, because he had something to discuss with Cheng Kun.
When he came to his office, he saw Cheng Kun sitting on the sofa beside him in a daze after entering the room. It was not until Nie Wei coughed that he came back to his senses.
After saying hello, Nie Wei also sat on the sofa and asked Cheng Kun: "You didn't refuse the contract at Fanxing Entertainment just now. Do you want to continue the show?"
This is the main reason why Nie Wei asked Cheng Kun to come. Originally, Nie Wei wanted Cheng Kun to finish filming twelve episodes and then concentrate on TV series and movies. However, what he didn't expect was that Cheng Kun was addicted to filming twelve episodes. When he asked everyone to sign the contract just now, this guy didn't refuse at all.
Sure enough, hearing Nie Wei's question, Cheng Kun nodded very straightforwardly: "I want to continue to do the show "Infinite Challenge". Not only is this show good, but the key is that in this team, I really have no pressure at all and I am very happy every day."
"But do you know that the better the variety show is, the easier it is for the audience to have a fixed impression of you. When you act again, it will be easy for the audience to be distracted."
"Nie Wei, I have confidence in my acting skills." Cheng Kun answered without hesitation.
Seeing Cheng Kun's determined look, Nie Wei had nothing to say. In fact, Cheng Kun's willingness to stay in "Infinite Challenge" is absolutely beneficial to the program. The most feared thing about this kind of variety show is the frequent replacement of team members. After all, the character building of a host cannot be completed in one or two episodes. This requires a long process.
But once the process is long, many viewers will inevitably have feelings for him. If the team members are replaced at this time, it will undoubtedly hurt the audience's feelings. Just like everyone hopes to see a happy ending, if you make a family split halfway, I believe that everyone will be dissatisfied. Just like the variety shows in South Korea in the future, every time a member leaves get out of class, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among fans, and the ratings will inevitably drop.
"Since you have confidence, I won't persuade you." Nie Wei felt that since Cheng Kun had this confidence, there was no need to force him to quit the show, but Nie Wei still left him a step: "If you feel that there is a conflict between the two developments one day, you can tell me, and the contract over there can be terminated at any time, and you don't have to bear any consequences."
"Mr. Nie, thank you." Cheng Kun thanked sincerely, because he knew that Nie Wei was really good to him.
Nie Wei patted him on the shoulder and asked Cheng Kun how he read the script and if there was anything he didn't understand. Cheng Kun said that he understood the role very well.
After seeing Cheng Kun off, Nie Wei turned on the computer and logged into the blog.
As expected, the top of the hot search list was still "Infinite Challenge", which achieved the highest ratings of 11.29 last night, and won the title of a phenomenal variety show with this achievement. This time, no one will question it.
The media praised this variety show as much as they could, saying that this show is the endorsement of the term miracle, and will create an era of outdoor variety shows. It will also leave a heavy mark in the history of Chinese variety shows and become a milestone program.
At the same time, they also found something worth reporting, that is, Nie Wei's sense of variety is so excellent! ! !
In yesterday's pursuit battle, Nie Wei's performance really opened the eyes of this group of media reporters. Is this still the Nie Wei who doesn't like variety shows? In yesterday's chase, this guy was like a fish in water, and performed better than those hosts.
This incident also made the media reporters seem to smell a big news. The next day, they all used a lot of space to praise Nie Wei's performance in "Infinite Challenge" last night.
The audience loves to watch these reports. Although the chase was only broadcast for one-third, Nie Wei really has countless fans. As the media reports came out, countless people called for Nie Wei to join the hosting team, saying that they love to watch Nie Wei play tricks on other hosts, and they love to watch Nie Wei play tricks on the program team even more.
These people are just watching the fun, but it’s hard for the official Weibo of Infinite Challenge. The crowd is too enthusiastic, and the little administrator can’t stand it. He racked his brains to deal with these netizens, but the netizens are still not satisfied.
The little administrator felt bitter when he saw the complaints under the comments. You asked me to invite Nie Wei, can I do it? He is the big boss who gave me a job, but he can’t say this, so the little administrator can only continue to endure it in front of the screen.
After three episodes of Infinite Challenge, his peers in the entertainment industry finally took action.
Many TV stations and entertainment companies have begun to plan similar outdoor sports. Nie Wei is not afraid of this group of followers. You think outdoor variety shows are so fun. At the beginning, the Korean Infinite Challenge team also groped for a long time before gradually grasping the door. Their success is completely based on the success of their predecessors. These TV towers don’t have a "prophet" like them. If they foolishly break in, they will inevitably bump into it.
Of course, this group of people's actions also have a benefit, which is that they can help develop the market in this area. Moreover, there is no harm without comparison. If your program is so bad, the audience will think that Fanxing Entertainment's outdoor show is even better when they look back. Moreover, this market also needs competition, otherwise Fanxing Entertainment alone cannot eat such a big cake. What Nie Wei wants to do is to be the leader of this market, but not to be a roadblock.
At this time, the news that the program "Infinite Challenge" and Mingzhu Satellite TV only signed twelve episodes also spread.
All of a sudden, all TV stations across the country were boiling.
Twelve episodes, it's not a matter of a blink of an eye, but the potential of "Infinite Challenge" is obviously not exhausted by twelve episodes. Since Mingzhu TV has only signed twelve episodes, it means that everyone will have a chance next time.
When the person in charge of the variety show of Mingzhu TV Tower received this news, he was so angry that veins popped out of his forehead. He knew very well that this matter was 100% released by Fanxing Entertainment, just to let major TV stations compete so that they can raise prices.
However, although he cursed and said that Fanxing's gang were all profiteers, he did not slow down at all. He immediately sent negotiators to communicate with Fanxing. After all, this program has now become the golden signboard of Mingzhu Satellite TV. If he lets go, the person in charge feels that his career will probably leave Mingzhu TV along with the program.
Mingzhu TV is taking action, and provincial satellite TV stations across the country are also taking action, especially Xiangnan, Fujian and Zhejiang, and Fuzhou, which are already very strong in variety shows. They are even more determined to win "Infinite Challenge". For a time, Fanxing Entertainment Company has become a "tourist attraction" for staff from major TV stations. Every day, people coming in and out are either from Xiangnan TV, Fuzhou TV, or Liaoshen TV. There are people coming every day, and every day is different.
Ma Dong is exhausted, but Nie Wei is very relaxed. As a hands-off boss, Nie Wei's life is even leisurely, which undoubtedly makes very busy people a little uncomfortable.
