Chapter 1476 1578. Forced to do so

Everyone in Huayi was shocked by Luo Yuan's words.

It's not because Luo Yuan knew about Huayi's exploitation of artists, but because Luo Yuan's attitude and tone were clearly speaking from the position of HELLOIRLS.

How could she, a star-studded CEO, speak from the position of an idol group from Huayi?

For everyone at Huayi, this is something that is extremely scary to think about.

Boss Wang was the first to recover from his surprise. He frowned and asked, "Have you had any private contact with the members of HELLOIRLS?"

This is what everyone at Huayi wanted to ask, and everyone looked at Luo Yuan.

"Boss Wang, please don't think nonsense. I just feel sorry for a few young girls." Luo Yuan would naturally deny this kind of thing.

In the entertainment industry, it is quite taboo to contact non-company artists privately. After all, for entertainment companies, artists are also one of the company's assets. If someone contacts their company's 'wealth' privately, it is probably for the purpose of stealing. Purpose, isn't this equivalent to being a thief?

Although this kind of thing is actually very common in the entertainment industry, no one will admit it on the stage.

Although Luo Yuan immediately denied it, Boss Wang still felt that he had guessed the matter very well. There must be members of HELLOGIRLS who had contact with Fanxing in private, and maybe they had received some promise from Fanxing.

This can also explain why Fanxing is determined to win the HELLOGIRLS combination in this negotiation.

But guess what, if it is really one or even many members of HELLOIRLS who have contact with Fanxing, then it will be really troublesome.

After all, if an artist is determined to change jobs, it will be difficult for the agency to stop him. In the end, artists without background will most likely be hidden away, while those with background will be fined with a liquidated damages.

And Huayi wants to hide the artists that Fanxing Group is interested in. This is simply a joke like a fantasy.

"Boss Wang, I think we should sit down and talk calmly about the HELLOIRLS contract issue," Luo Yuan said.

Boss Wang sat down and said sarcastically: "You want to take advantage of Huayi, so you can be calm, but I am the one who is being taken advantage of. How can you tell me to be calm?"

Luo Yuan was not angry because of Boss Wang's sarcastic words, but said calmly: "Boss Wang, since we are cooperating, you are asking for something from us. You think we have taken advantage of Huayi, but you are not. Do you also hope to take advantage of Fanxing?"

"Can it be the same? We just want a publicity point for cooperation, and we don't need you to actually pay anything!" A senior executive of Huayi stood up and said.

Luo Yuan glanced at this person and said with a smile: "What we at Fanxing pay for is reputation! It's credibility! It's word of mouth!"

"That's right, aren't you just here for our Fanxing sign?" Huayi's negotiators also supported Mr. Luo, and said to the people at Huayi: "You are pretending to cooperate with us. Are we using our Huayi brand to prevent the decline in market value, and why are we saying that we haven’t paid anything?”

"But...but aren't we just borrowing your brand name?"

"To put it simply, if you join a brand store, you have to pay the brand franchise fee. You want to borrow our Fanxing brand, and it is also a deceptive method. We Fanxing also bear great risks and do not have enough profits to guarantee , why should we take risks to cooperate with you? "

Everyone in Huayi was left speechless.

Many times, fame is also very valuable, especially in the entertainment industry, where the value of fame is even more highlighted.

An unknown little artist, because he is a distant relative of a certain top artist, may make headlines that he never dreamed of before, and may even become famous. This is the value of fame.

People at Huayi actually understand this. In the past, they just wanted to secretly change the concept and deceive people in the stars. However, they didn't expect that they didn't deceive people enough to stop talking. They were ridiculed and humiliated.

Luo Yuan looked at Boss Wang, who was sitting there without speaking again, and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, some people's hearts have already left, and you can't keep them even if you want to."

"You can't say that. They are still our Huayi artists, so they have the obligation to work for our Huayi." Boss Wang responded not to be outdone.

"Do we have to go to court?" Luo Yuan asked.

"If you really want to poach my people, I don't mind litigating with you."

"Fighting a lawsuit? Yes." Luo Yuan leaned back on her chair and said with a relaxed expression: "HELLOIRLS's group contract will expire in four months. We can wait until then to recruit people, and even if Do you think you will win the lawsuit? "

"We have in our hands evidence that your company is squeezing artists, and it is very sufficient. If it really goes to the point of a lawsuit, the impact of this evidence on public opinion will also be the consequences that your company needs to bear."

"Finally, what if you win the lawsuit? Meiqi, Xuanyi and Yang Xiaoli's contract liquidated damages are all 10 million, and the total is only 30 million. For artists, this liquidated damages may It’s high, but for the stars, we can afford it.”

When Luo Yuan saw that Boss Wang was no longer as aggressive as before and was silent there, she knew that her analysis of the stakes had shaken Boss Wang's heart.

"It's time." Luo Yuan thought of this in her heart, and smiled and said to Boss Wang: "Three hundred million, no interest for one year, and we will announce to the public that we will jointly produce an S-level variety show. If you can agree to the conditions, we can add you to the list of partners at the end of the film."

As soon as Luo Yuan promised the conditions, everyone at Huayi was surprised.

Whether it is three hundred million or the nominal partners at the end, they are very important to Huayi now.

But everyone is very entangled when they want to pay the result again.

Cheng Kun's male lead is okay. After all, Cheng Kun is the male lead of the "Mojin" series. Except for the higher salary, there is nothing wrong with it. The company does not necessarily have to use this role to promote people.

But HELLO GIRLS is definitely a cash cow.

Even if it is disbanded, it is still very profitable with the popularity of those people. If it is sent away like this, it is really a pity.

"But they don't want to stay in our company anymore." Someone whispered.

"A bunch of ungrateful people." The person who said this was angry and helpless.

It was because the attitude of the members of HELLOGILRS might be inclined towards Fanxing that Huayi was absolutely passive in the negotiation of this condition.

"Boss Luo, we need some time to discuss it." Boss Wang was silent for a long time, and then said with a slightly struggling expression.

"No problem, just give us an answer before 5 pm." Luo Yuan was very generous at this time, because she could see the inner vacillation of Boss Wang, and once this vacillation appeared, it would be like a scale, and would only tilt towards one result.

"No need, one hour is enough." Boss Wang left this sentence, and then took everyone out of the meeting room.

Half an hour later, Boss Wang returned to the meeting room with people.

As soon as everyone sat down, Boss Wang said directly: "Five hundred million, no interest for two years, and the contracts of Meiqi, Xuanyi and Yang Xiaoli will offset 100 million yuan."

Luo Yuan pondered for a moment, and saw Boss Wang's heart pounding. Just now, after he went back to discuss with everyone, he understood that this contract was not something he was willing to do.

Under the premise that the artist actively wants to join Fanxing, Huayi is the passive party. Even if the lawsuit is won in the end, the artist will still leave. As for the issue of liquidated damages, with Fanxing's legal department, it is difficult for them to gain any big advantage.

The key is as Luo Yuan said, there is no winner in this matter.

Artists frequently change jobs, which will damage their image, but Huayi will not feel good either. Artists' job-hopping itself means dissatisfaction with the current agency. If they really want to sue, wouldn't it be equivalent to announcing to the public that Huayi is not doing well?

And we have to consider whether Gao will become enemies with Fanxing Group, or even give up the most likely cooperation plan at this stage.

Comprehensive considerations, in fact, are forced to premise, Boss Wang knows that he must make concessions on the contract of HELLOGIRLS.

But even if he makes concessions, everyone is also analyzing why Fanxing insists on the contract of HELLOGIRLS.

This question can be easily guessed. Fanxing's current artist lineup is the idol artist.

"Mr. Nie probably never thought of leaving Huayi at the beginning." After getting this answer, someone suddenly said, and then the lounge, which was originally full of discussions, suddenly became silent because of this sentence.

Because everyone knows how true this is.

Huayi is the earliest and most comprehensive company in China to train idols. Even though Huayi has plummeted this year, the number of trainees who signed up still exceeds 5,000, which is almost the same as the number of applicants for art exams of several art schools.

And it was Nie Wei, who has now left the company, who established the youth training system for Huayi.

It can be said that in the field of trainees, Nie Wei's vision is absolutely advanced in China. He not only introduced a professional youth training system from South Korea, but also established a trainee training program belonging to Huayi. Coupled with the continuous trial and error, he has achieved the "great reputation" of Huayi trainees in the circle.

But Nie Wei, who has such a forward-looking vision and is also very capable in the field of trainees, why is his current company Fanxing so short of idol artists?

The conclusion is easy to draw, because Nie Wei never thought that he would leave Huayi at the beginning, so he was ready to hand over the trainee part to Huayi Company.

In fact, it is not just trainees. For a long time, Fanxing has only focused on variety shows.

Film and television, records, and idol training, these are all handed over to Huayi. At that time, the two companies were really like one company. If Fanxing released any new variety shows, Huayi’s artists would definitely go to support them. If Huayi had new people to promote, Fanxing’s variety shows would definitely leave enough publicity positions for Huayi’s new people.

But the two companies at that time were really like a young couple in the honeymoon period. Everything they saw in each other was good, and even the company team building at the end of the year was carried out together.

Unfortunately, with the small actions of some people in Huayi, Nie Wei’s heart was hurt, and Nie Wei took the initiative to withdraw from Huayi.

Since then, the two companies have changed from friendly brothers to enemies who hate each other. It is also because Nie Wei took away a large number of artists when he left Huayi, which led to the continuous decline of Huayi’s market.

The Huayi staff present had complicated looks. Nie Wei had brought them glory, but the current situation of Huayi was also due to Nie Wei's "contribution".

This negotiation gave many people a deeper understanding that Nie Wei was no longer their former President Nie, but had become a very resourceful business opponent.

"Ask for more money. What Huayi lacks most at the moment is money." After a long silence, Secretary Xu suggested, "And we can't give the contract to Huayi for nothing. We should make full use of the value of the contract to offset part of the loan."

Boss Wang followed Secretary Xu's advice and put forward his own conditions after returning to the meeting room.

The next period of time was the time for negotiation. They discussed the amount of the loan and the value of the contract for two hours before they finally decided.

The contracts of Meiqi, Xuanyi, Yang Xiaoli and Huang Ting offset a total of 56 million yuan in loans. In addition, Fanxing will lend Huayi 344 million yuan, interest-free for two years. If it cannot be repaid within two years...

The agreement on this condition will mean that Huayi can receive a loan of 400 million yuan from Fanxing, and there is no need to worry about interest within two years. For Huayi, this is a life-saving money.

But the price paid is also painful for Huayi. Several high-quality idol artists in the company were basically poached by Fanxing at once. After the conditions were met this time, Huayi did not even have idols to show off.

For Fanxing, although part of the money was paid, what was gained was far more important than money.

First of all, the right to use the name of the group HELLOGIRLS belongs to Fanxing.

Don't think that a name is not important. In fact, it is very important because it is equivalent to an orthodoxy.

After all, the first impression that fans remember is this name, and fans will most likely recognize this name in the future.

Just like AKB, the members are changing, but the group is iron-clad.

With this name, Fanxing can legitimately accept the fans of this group.

At the same time, the addition of Meiqi, Xuanyi, Yang Xiaoli and Huang Ting also completely fills the gap in Fanxing's idols.

Moreover, these people are also the core members of the HELLOGILRS group. Their fans plus Zhou Duoduo's fans can account for 80% of the total fans of the entire group.

With them, it is equivalent to having the foundation to form another popular group.

Of course, Fanxing must dig out other members that can be dug, and try to make up the configuration of the original members, which is also good for the future development of the group.

Thank you Jingzhi for the generous reward of 600.
