Chapter 617: The confidence of the rich second generation
After the publicity meeting, Yang Hongxia kept Li Xiaodong alone. Lin Fan wanted to listen to it, but was taken away by Zhou Yue who rushed over. He could only give Li Xiaodong a helpless look and let the child understand it himself.
Li Xiaodong followed Yang Hongxia back to the office and took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Sister Xia, I'm sorry, I was distracted during the meeting just now and didn't hear the work arrangements clearly..."
"Sit down and talk."
Yang Hongxia gestured, then personally poured a cup of tea for Li Xiaodong.
"Thank you, Sister Xia."
Li Xiaodong was a little flattered.
Yang Hongxia also poured herself a cup of tea, and then sat on the sofa opposite Li Xiaodong. "Xiaodong, I remember your contract with Bai Tao is until June next year, right?"
The X-STAR group will also complete their two-year limited group contract on the last day of May next year and announce their disbandment. This means that after the group disbands, Lai Siu-tung's contract with White Peach Entertainment will also expire, and he will become a completely free man.
Although there is still a long time, if Bai Tao still wants to keep Li Xiaodong, the new contract should have been delivered to Li Xiaodong by now. Yang Hongxia suspected that this was the reason why Li Xiaodong was not in good shape today.
But Yang Hongxia didn't believe that Bai Tao could offer such good treatment that Li Xiaodong would be reluctant to leave. So if it wasn't the contract, then it should be the person. Thinking about the fact that Li Xiaodong had always been with one agent in Bai Tao Entertainment, Yang Hongxia felt that she had already seen the truth.
Li Xiaodong, who had no idea that his background had been fully understood, nodded sadly: "Yes, until next June."
"Do you need me to help you terminate the contract early?"
Li Xiaodong was stunned. Terminate the contract early?
Yang Hongxia looked at Li Xiaodong's expression and considered her tone, "I know that Baitao Entertainment has always been good to you, so when I told you last time that I wanted to sign you, you told me that you had to wait until your contract with Baitao expired before signing with me. I agreed to all of this."
To be honest, Baitao Entertainment treated Lai Siu-tung well. The contracts, resources, and treatment they provided were basically like those of a son. They did not give up on Lai Siu-tung when he was not yet famous, and they did not exploit him wantonly after he became famous. They are a very conscientious agency in the industry.
Otherwise, if a popular artist wants to terminate the contract with the original company, or not renew the contract, the price to pay can be described as "tragic". Therefore, when Lai Xiaodong asked to wait until the contract expired and not renew it, instead of terminating it in advance, it was also out of gratitude to Baitao Entertainment.
Yang Hongxia naturally agreed. She could afford to waste these few months.
If it really doesn't work, don't we still have Lin Fan?
Even if Bai Tao was unhappy that Li Xiaodong did not renew his contract and froze or deliberately exploited Li Xiaodong's surplus value, causing Li Xiaodong's popularity to plummet, as long as Lin Fan was there, it would be easy to get Li Xiaodong.
However, the preferential treatment that Lai Siu-tung received at Baitao Entertainment was all based on Lai Siu-tung's personal background. If Lai Siu-tung did not have a wealthy father to support him and a good family background to back him up, Baitao Entertainment would definitely not treat Lai Siu-tung the way it does now.
Not renewing the contract, that’s fine.
But since you are still within the contract period, you will be asked to take on advertisements and endorsements that will only damage your popularity, you will be asked to take on all kinds of bad scripts, and you will be asked to take on countless commercial performances.
They don’t even give you time to breathe, squeeze out all your surplus value, and exhaust your fans’ enthusiasm and purchasing power. When you go to a new company, you’re still burdened with a bunch of messy notices.
At that time, will the new company still want you? If you don't want to end up like this, you can only terminate the contract in advance, but can you afford the high penalty? Or do you think the new company will support you? Anyway, no matter what, the original company will not suffer any loss.
Yang Hongxia is no stranger to such routines in the circle.
But Baitao Entertainment and Li Xiaodong can't follow this routine. Baitao can't and dare not exploit Li Xiaodong, otherwise Li Xiaodong, the rich second generation, will pay the penalty in a minute, and Boss Li is eager for his son to return home and inherit billions of assets!
Li Xiaodong and Baitao Entertainment have fallen out, and Baitao Entertainment will definitely not be happy.
So Yang Hongxia guessed that Bai Tao's routine didn't work, so she took a conciliatory approach and played pity on Li Xiaodong? Thinking about Li Xiaodong again, he still cared about the old relationship. Yang Hongxia was worried that something unexpected would happen if it dragged on for too long, so she simply proposed to terminate the contract in advance.
"Yes, that is, terminate the contract in advance. If you have someone useful over there, you can also ask for their opinions and see if they are willing to follow you to my place."
Yang Hongxia smiled, as if she didn't notice Li Xiaodong's abnormality at all: "You know, my studio has only been established for a short time, and we are actually very short of people. We have tried to poach people everywhere but haven't found any good talents. If there are people willing to come with you, that would be the best."
Li Xiaodong's eyes suddenly brightened, but then dimmed again as he thought of something: "Thank you, Sister Xia, for your kindness. I..."
Yang Hongxia interrupted Li Xiaodong and said, "You don't have to rush to answer me. Go back and think about it carefully, and ask the people around you. Of course, I still have to personally check the people you bring with me. I don't want people who have bad intentions or are lazy and just want to take a job without doing anything."
Li Xiaodong nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Sister Xia, I understand. I will go back and think about it carefully."
Yang Hongxia watched Li Xiaodong regain his spirits and smiled even more: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news."
As soon as Li Xiaodong came out of Yang Hongxia's office, someone grabbed his neck: "Hey... Brother Lu? When did you come here?"
I missed the publicity meeting just now.
Lu Bingyang hooked his arm around Li Xiaodong's neck and said, "When Sister Xia brought you to the office, Brother Fan asked me to wait for you and take you upstairs to listen to Brother Fan's new song!"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Li Xiaodong's eyes lit up: "Brother Fan has a new song again?"
"Yes, Brother Fan said that this must be kept secret for now, but we can listen to it first to satisfy our curiosity!" Lu Bingyang glanced behind him, and seeing that no one noticed, he lowered his voice, "What did Sister Xia say?"
Li Xiaodong also whispered, "Sister Xia said that she would help me terminate the contract in advance, and also said that I could bring someone over."
Lu Bingyang's eyes widened: "Did you agree? Don't tell me you didn't agree to such a good offer!"
Li Xiaodong also knew that this condition was too good, but he was really not sure whether his agent was willing to come with him. Moreover, he didn't know how Sister Xia would arrange it after he came, and whether he would feel uncomfortable... In short, it was very annoying.
and.
Li Xiaodong asked, "Brother Lu, what are your plans?"
Lu Bingyang sighed: "I have much more trouble than you."
Li Xiaodong's contract was only four years long and would expire next year. But my contract was ten years long! There were still seven years left, and the terms were much stricter than Li Xiaodong's. Even if I terminated the contract early and was willing to pay the penalty, the company would not agree to let me go.
If the contract termination fails... Lu Bingyang doesn't even dare to think about it.
The two of them looked at each other and sighed at the same time: We are all in the same boat!
At the end of the month, money, money, money~ Would you really not consider keeping the money? (End of this chapter)
