Chapter 1008 Lu Bingyang wants to terminate the contract!
Looking at the rising box office data, although she has not yet received a share of the profits, this has greatly alleviated Yang Hongxia's anxiety when she sees the money spent like water in the Honghuang World Amusement Park every day.
Not to mention Yang Hongxia, the decision maker, even Xiao Ye, who sorts out various documents for Yang Hongxia to sign every day, is frightened every day when he accidentally glances at the numerical amounts.
I always feel that the company's money is about to be swallowed up by this project, but the next moment there is good news from the movie box office... This ups and down, roller coaster-like feeling is really hard to explain to outsiders.
Moreover, it's not just Happy Garden, Lin Fan is currently filming a movie that is also very expensive!
As Yang Hongxia signed, she tried hard to suppress the twitching of her lips, and silently said in her heart: Don't panic, it's not just my money anyway, Lin Fan's money is the bulk of it, and with this guy's family background, he won't be held back for a while.
Thinking of this, I feel much better.
In addition, Liang Wen, together with Li Xiaodong and Zhou Xiang, has also begun to explore another source of income for the company. If everything goes well, the company will have a large amount of box office revenue to share by the end of this year or the first half of next year.
The most important thing is that when Lin Fan’s film is finished and enters post-production, there will be enough time for business.
There is also an animation studio. After the debut of "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World", the reputation of the Earthling Animation Studio has been completely established. Now it can take on external work, and it has no problem supporting itself. It can also help the company continue to develop the next animated film.
This also made Yang Hongxia feel gratified: the huge amount of money spent to set up this animation studio not only solved the post-production problems of the company's own films, but also opened up a path for animated films to continuously generate wealth.
It was money well spent.
These are all good aspects, of course there are also bad aspects.
That is, the company is seriously short of people! Shortage of directors, shortage of artists, especially directors.
In the past, Lin Fan could support the filming of the entire company's film and television dramas by himself, but with the changes in the scale of films, Lin Fan is now overwhelmed. A big-budget movie has occupied almost all of Lin Fan's time, and he has no energy to shoot other film and television dramas.
Although Liang Wen was able to take Lin Fan's place, he also faced the same problem: the larger the film, the more time and energy it would take.
Actors can still film both movies and TV series, but directors can't do that, right? Earthling Studio still has so many excellent TV series scripts, they can't just sit there and collect dust, right? It's all about money! But compared to artists, a good director is harder to find, especially after Yang Hongxia saw the strength of Lin Fan and Liang Wen, ordinary directors are even less attractive to her.
But at the same time, famous directors all have their own teams. Who would be willing to give up everything and come to Earthling Studio to be the third in command?
There is no other way but to cultivate it myself.
So, while Liang Wen was extremely busy, he not only received the two scripts left by Lin Fan, but also accepted the assistant director position given by Yang Hongxia.
Liang Wen: "...Boss Yang, do you think I'm very idle?"
I'm already so busy, how can you still ask me to bring new people to you?
Yang Hongxia explained: "You are not asked to lead them, but to use them. Just use them as hard as you can. Whoever can survive will be qualified to be the newcomer."
If he couldn't even work as an assistant director, Yang Hongxia would never place her hopes on such a person.
With Yang Hongxia's assurance, Liang Wen finally felt a little relieved: "This is what you said, Boss Yang. If everyone leaves, you can't blame me. Also, don't force me with more people!"
Of course Yang Hongxia agreed readily: "No more, no more. Director Liang, you can use me as you please. All the people have gone through so much trouble and I am still left with the trouble of screening!"
Of course, it's just words to listen to. Liang Wen is still quite sensible. He has a scale in his mind to judge what kind of people can be used and what kind of people are worth cultivating.
After arranging Liang Wen's affairs, Yang Hongxia began to free up her hands to deal with another matter.
In fact, it was not a big deal. It was just that Lu Bingyang terminated his contract with his agency.
Lin Fan had told Yang Hongxia about this matter before. Although Lu Bingyang had always emphasized that he would solve it himself, this did not prevent Lin Fan from asking Yang Hongxia to pay more attention to the progress of the matter and provide necessary help when appropriate.
Lu Bingyang still had several years of contract left with his original company. If it weren't for Lin Fan's help, Lu Bingyang would probably be popular for two or three years after his debut through the talent show, and then slowly go downhill and start living off his past achievements.
When all the capital has been spent and Lu Bingyang can no longer bear it, he will take the initiative to ask the company to terminate the contract. The company will then earn a termination fee, and eventually the two parties will go their separate ways.
Of course, it is also possible that Lu Bingyang will make a comeback and become a top star, which in turn will affect the decision-making of the agency and eventually gain the opportunity to be independent with his own resources. This is the best situation.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But Lu Bingyang chose the third path: with the help of Lin Fan, he became a second-tier artist and had a certain status in the film industry. The key was that he had completely gotten rid of his identity as a talent show idol and became a real actor.
But at the same time, the resources in Lu Bingyang's hands are not enough to gain a complete advantage in the confrontation with the agency. Instead, it presents a tug-of-war situation between the two sides, which is the most exhausting.
Because Lu Bingyang has to work hard to maintain the status quo and actively develop towards the front line, while also facing various exploitations from the company. He is really exhausted and annoyed.
Until finally he couldn't stand it anymore and terminated the contract in anger.
The agency obviously felt that they couldn't keep Lu Bingyang, so they just wanted to earn a final termination fee. As for whether they would play dirty tricks and deliberately expose Lu Bingyang's dirty secrets so that no other company would want him after he leaves the company...
I can only say that the agency is not that stupid.
After all, Lin Fan is not a pushover, and Yang Hongxia is not someone who can be easily messed with. Lu Bingyang has made it clear that after leaving here, he will go to Earthling Studio. If you discredit Lu Bingyang at this time, would n't that make enemies with Lin Fan and Yang Hongxia? If you want to say who is the most difficult to mess with in the entertainment industry, Lin Fan must be on the list. If you offend Lin Fan, he may not do anything to your company, but it is too easy to embarrass the artists under your company.
Therefore, after earning what money you can, it is better for everyone to part ways amicably, retain the last bit of dignity, and be able to meet again in the future.
