Chapter 29: Capitalists Wept



"How's the new secretary?"

Li Zhenyu asked casually while looking at the artist report analysis and subsequent training and schedule arrangements.

"Very smart, and learns quickly." Yin Hui Na increasingly understands the charm of language.

Xia Zhuxi knew nothing about secretarial work and did not say a word about the trouble it caused.

"Well, teach her well, and she will be your right-hand man in the future."

"mine?"

Yoon Hye-na's expression was full of ridicule, "My right-hand man, or your portable fire extinguisher?"

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Li Zhenyu asked.

Yin Hui Na shook her head and said, "No... President, all the money will go to the new company, and even the salary will have to be paid there. Isn't this inappropriate?"

"It's just temporary. After... it's over, the two companies will settle separately."

"I see." Yoon Hye-na didn't ask any further questions.

Although he did not explain the reason, the boss had no obligation to explain to his subordinates.

As long as it does not affect the normal operation of the company and cause potential hidden dangers or adverse effects.

Well, there's no need to bother yourself with such a small matter.

"Give me the computer."

Li Zhenyu asked Yin Huina to get his notebook and let her do her own thing.

Enter the password to open the blank folder.

Li Zhenyu created his first document: New World.

Wow~ Thinking of the performance of the Elevator God of War before his death, Li Zhenyu's scalp tingled and he got goose bumps.

The relationship between family, friendship, and love...

This kind of emotion, which is defined as little love by some people, is really played out.

It always touches the softest part of the audience's heart and makes people deeply touched.

Although it is defined as small love, this is not all that ordinary people can be exposed to in their lifetime.

The so-called family, country and the world, and boundless love, how many people can understand it?

This is also why South Korean films have performed more and more eye-catching in the past decade or so.

Moreover, South Korea has always been famous for its boldness in filming subject matter.

Just like he was copying...

New script being written.

For four whole hours, Li Zhenyu sat in front of the computer and didn't go anywhere.

Wait until your hands leave your shoulders and stretch your somewhat stiff limbs backwards.

I realized that Yoon Hye-na had appeared behind the sofa at some point, staring at the screen intently.

"How about it?" Li Zhenyu asked for her opinion.

Yin Hui Na nodded vigorously and said, "President, are we going to shoot this ourselves?"

Not only men like chivalry and brotherhood, women like it too.

Yoon Hye-na can't wait to see the finished film.

"As the producer, the company will shoot and release the film as soon as possible."

Closing the computer, Li Zhenyu wrote a few names on a piece of white paper.

He decided to let Han Suxi play the most outstanding female role, the Go teacher.

This drama is her debut stage.

As for the male god’s undercover wife, the images of Lee Joo-bin and others are too young.

Also, it's so beautiful.

The focus of this drama is definitely not just the beautiful appearance on the surface.

Li Zhenyu has several suitable candidates in mind, with Kim Sun Hee as the first choice, and Song Hye Kyo or Jeon Hyun Ji as the second choice.

It doesn’t matter whether he is black or not, as long as his acting skills are good enough.

It's not like you're choosing a wife to marry, so why take it so seriously?

However, the schedules of these three people are very full, and Kim Sun-hee is still preparing for the wedding.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Zhenyu handed the paper to her.

“Ask these people about their schedules and filming intentions, and remember to emphasize that it’s distributed by CJ.”

As the strongest local distribution channel, CJ still has to borrow its tiger skin.

Otherwise, how can Zy Entertainment, which is not well-known, impress the other party?

Finally, he personally visited the candidates for section chief.

Choi Min-sik, one of the three leading figures in Chungmuro, reached the peak of his career with the movie "Oldboy".

Nowadays, it is a big deal, and ordinary people can't afford to hire this "South Korean Fa Ge."

After a busy day, there is nothing to do in the afternoon.

Li Zhenyu shook his shoulders and said, "Huina, is there a sauna room nearby?"

"It's across the street. Do you want to go now, President?"

"Let's wait until everyone comes back before setting off. Take this opportunity to meet with everyone and treat it as the company's first team building."

It would be too boring to go alone.

It just so happens that the company has had more people recently and all business operations are getting on track, so it's time to do some team building to strengthen relationships.

"Then let me reserve a seat first." Yin Hui Na asked.

Li Zhenyu raised his head and asked curiously, "Do we need to reserve a seat? Business is so good?"

"It's a very famous store."

"Thank you for your help. Can you also give me a recommendation for the place where we will have dinner tonight?"

"Okay, President, do you have any special requests for the dishes?"

"Suitable for everyone's taste, a little more upscale, let's arrange it!"

Yoon Hye-na went out and handed over the specific work to her secretary.

Although I said I was handing it over to her, I was actually teaching her how to do it step by step.

Ordering food may seem simple, but it is a science to satisfy everyone and to know exactly what each person likes.

The most difficult and most worthwhile business in the world is human relations.

"When I moved, I found several letters from the orphanage in the mailbox. They have all been put in the new house. Did you see them?"

"The letter from the orphanage..." Li Zhenyu was stunned and suddenly knocked his head: "Hey, how could I forget about this."

Zy Plus, looking at the brand new star sign.

Clara looked hesitant, looking at the building in front of her and asking herself: "Do you really want to go in?"

She has not worked for nearly a year since filming her first TV series.

The company felt that her performance in the film was not good and she needed to seriously hone her acting skills.

But Clara disagrees. She thinks her beauty is her best "acting skills" and she doesn't need any special practice.

It was obvious that they were trying to use pressure to make me agree to the company's unreasonable demands.

Go and accompany that ugly, dirty, disgusting old man.

Clara would rather give up her career than agree.

But if I really have to give up, how can I be willing to do that?

At this time, a friend told her that there was a new company with a strong background.

The president's position is very important. If I can convince him, he will definitely help me solve the current contract.

Clara's only hesitation was whether she would just escape from the wolf's den and fall into the tiger's mouth again.

"Sungmin-unnie?"

Clara turned around and smiled, her troubled face: "Oh~ It's Yanjing!"

"Ouni, it's really you, I thought I was seeing things!"

Li Yanjing hugged her arms excitedly and jumped up and down on the spot.

"Did the event just end?"

Seeing her nod, Clara said enviously, "That's great!"

"Ouni, have you made up your mind?" Li Yanjing was the friend who invited her to join Zy Entertainment.

"Uh~Yanjing, will there really be no problem?" Clara started to get nervous at the last moment.

What if the other company's president rejects me? What if I encounter the same situation as my previous company? Eh?!

Former company, is it too early to say that?

"Come on, unnie, I'll take you to meet the president. He's a really nice guy. You'll know once you meet him."

Without giving Clara a chance to hesitate, Li Yanjing pulled her forward.

"Ah~Yeonjeong, wait a minute!"

Three minutes later, Li Zhenyu looked at Clara, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, looking stiff and at a loss, and felt quite emotional.

He also thought about whether he would meet the most beautiful woman in Asia one day and how they would meet.

But I didn't expect the result to be so ordinary and simple.

"Sung Min-unnie is very capable in her field. She was the champion of the first online beauty pageant and was affectionately called the number one beauty."

"Oppa..." Noticing Li Zhenyu's stern eyes, Li Yanjing stuck out her tongue playfully, and changed the topic with a sweet smile: "President~~~"

"Put away your cute expression." Li Zhenyu said seriously.

The strong reluctance that comes from instinct is forcibly suppressed by reason.

"Clara, did you bring the contract?" Li Zhenyu wanted to take a look at the contract before deciding whether to accept it...

What nonsense! He just wanted to find a suitable excuse.

"Oh, I brought it. Here you go." Clara stood up and bowed, then handed over the contract respectfully with both hands.

After opening the contract and taking just a glance, Li Zhenyu was stunned by the terms inside.

He knew that the entertainment industry was very exploitative, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent.

According to the profit-sharing ratio in the contract, for a performance worth 20 million yuan, the artist would receive approximately 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

I’m so cool that even capitalists would cry when they see it.

This guy is not only not a human being, but even worse than an animal! 20 million, which is about 110,000 yuan if converted.

The fee for the artist is only one or two hundred???

This is really off the mark!

From this perspective, big companies like SM YG are more than just conscientious.

No wonder everyone is willing to work for big companies to be exploited, and small companies just treat them as human beings! Let's look at the compensation for breach of contract, starting at 100 million, and there are various compensation clauses attached.

If all of them are involved, there is no way you can escape without 400 to 500 million in compensation.

Pah~ Throwing the contract on the table, Li Zhenyu looked at Yin Huina and said, "Where is our contract? Bring me a copy."

Yin Hui Na understood what he meant and handed him the standard template.

After flipping through it, Li Zhenyu handed the contract to Clara: "Take a look at it yourself. If you are satisfied, let's discuss the terms."

Local activities are 3:7 points, advertising activities are 5:5 points, TV dramas, radio DJs, variety shows, musicals, etc. are 4:6 points, and overseas activities are 4:6 points.

For large-scale events, companies need to invest a lot of money and channels to operate them.

The company will take an additional 10% to 20%, which means it is possible to get 90% or all of it.

But making money from this kind of activity is secondary; the main purpose is to enhance one's own status and popularity.

It's the same principle as why celebrities have to flatter themselves to walk the red carpet.

Being able to walk on the red carpet in Hollywood and have a few words reported by foreign media can immediately double your net worth.

If you run it well, you can earn in just one year what you would have earned in decades before. Why would you worry about not making money?

In terms of breach of contract, the company's breach of contract amount is not high, about 20 to 50 million.

However, there are strict restrictions on the works and the value of the 'brand'.

After becoming famous, he wanted to completely quit the company and go solo.

No problem, all previous works, personal "brand", commercial output, endorsement and other income will be confiscated.

Simply put, you must keep every penny of the profits you earn from the company.

All endorsement income belongs to the company, and the artist must continue to cooperate with brand promotions and all schedules.

Big companies all have the same clauses. There is no need to shelve them. The promotional schedule and brand conflicts alone are enough to kill everyone.
