Chapter 35 Smiling Tiger



It is normal for stars to terminate their contracts with their old clubs when their contracts expire.

If the contract is terminated by breach of contract during the contract period, the impact on the star himself will be both big and small.

How can I put it? Terminating a contract by breaching the contract will inevitably have a short-term impact on the star's popularity. Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, the public will naturally have a negative impression of the party that proposed the termination.

Especially for a female artist like Yan Zi who became famous recently because of a movie, it is natural that she will be criticized as ungrateful and greedy.

But from another perspective, if Yan Zi chooses to continue staying in Tianfeng, he will have no choice but to accept the junk notices arranged by the company, which in the long run will be far more disadvantageous than breaking the contract.

You have to know that the golden age of female artists is shorter than that of male artists. Many male actors can still take leading roles in their thirties and forties.

Even some uncles who are in their fifties can still play the role of a domineering CEO and shoot a romance drama with a girl in her twenties.

When female artists reach their thirties or forties, their chances of playing the leading female role will decrease year by year, and the roles left for them are more likely to be mothers.

Even in the record market, as female artists age, the styles of songs they sing will gradually become limited.

What's more, artists always speak with their works. Although the current trade war with Tianfeng will have a negative impact on their popularity for a period of time, it will not last long.

As long as you have good works later, the public will quickly forget about it. The simplest example is that almost everyone has their favorite celebrity idols, but how many people can name the entertainment companies that three celebrities belong to?

Very rarely, the public's love for a star rarely changes because of which entertainment company he belongs to.

After making the decision, Sister Chen quickly submitted her application to Tianfeng Entertainment on the first day of work after the May Day holiday.

The three artists she manages: female artist Yan Zi; female artist Ye Zhixue; male artist Peng Yudian, have formally applied to Tianfeng Entertainment to terminate their contracts and will pay the penalty according to the signed contracts.

Unexpectedly, Tianfeng Entertainment didn't argue with them and directly approved the application, clearing the three people's earnings as of May. After receiving the liquidated damages from Yan Zi, Tianfeng Entertainment no longer had any relationship with the three people.

"Just let them go like that?" Wan Ping'an asked a little excitedly in the president's office.

"What else?" Xue Congfu half leaned back and forth in his seat. The same chair would be more comfortable to sit on in the president's office than in the vice president's office.

After so many years, Xu Tianfeng finally retired, and her daughter came.

I originally thought that this position was destined to be out of my reach, but I didn't expect that the little girl Xu Linling would actually leave her post to seek medical treatment.

This must be God's blessing. Jiangdu Entertainment, as the largest shareholder, does not interfere in the company's internal affairs, so I, as the third largest shareholder, was able to take over smoothly.

In fact, Xu Linling had thought about finding a trustworthy person to serve as the company's president at that time, but as Xu Tianfeng's daughter, she had experienced many twists and turns to take this position, and finally relied on Yan Zi to secure the position.

If she leaves and someone else is appointed as the president, it will inevitably lead to a strong backlash from Xue Congfu's faction, and the company will be the one that suffers.

That's why she felt very sorry for Yan Zi. Sister Chen's decision to ask Yan Zi to start his own business was also a decision made after Xu Linling and Sister Chen discussed it.

Xue Congfu calmly picked up the teacup in front of him and blew on it gently. "They've agreed to pay the liquidated damages according to the contract. What should we do? Do we have to go to court again? Even if we do, won't the result be the same?"

"If things really get out of hand, what will the other artists in the company think? Who in the company doesn't know about their relationship with us?"

"But~" Wan Ping'an wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it. However, he had finally gotten to the top, but Feng Xiaoyun and Yan Zi, who had made him look bad, left, taking the two young artists under You Qingchen with them. This made him so angry that he didn't know where to vent his anger.

"Okay, now just take care of your own little piece of business. Marco's contract is almost done, and we'll have to pool the entire company's resources to create an album for her. The songwriting department has a lot of work to do."

"Don't worry, Mr. Xue. I've already started preparing for this. I've already offered high prices to the top songwriters in the country. I'm determined to get this album to diamond sales."

In today's Internet age, albums are sold online in digital form, and the price is not expensive, so an album is considered platinum only if it sells 10 million copies, and diamond sales are 100 million copies.

This has never been achieved in the history of Tianfeng Entertainment, and this is the first thing Xue Congfu ambitiously wants to do after taking office.

"Okay, we've been together for so many years, so of course I trust you, which is why I let you sit in this position. Besides, Yan Zi and the others have left the company. What do you think she needs to continue to make a living in the entertainment industry?"

"What do you need?" Wan Ping'an has been in this industry for many years, so he naturally understood everything: "Of course, you need popularity, exposure, and most importantly, works."

"That's right, traffic is only temporary, and works are the foundation for an artist to survive in this circle." Xue Congfu took out a cigarette, Wan Ping'an hurriedly went up and bent down to light it, and then looked like he was listening attentively.

"She's gone out and started her own business. She's going to have to release an album, right? She's going to have to do some film or TV work, right? What do you think about asking Marco to release an album at the same time as she does?"

"It's great, really great!" Wan Ping'an looked at Xue Congfu with admiration.

Ma Ke'er is already one of the most popular stars in China, and is only one step away from becoming a superstar. Did the company spend a huge amount of money to sign her in order to generate love?

It's because they see that she can bring more benefits to the company and her market influence. As long as she and Yan Zi release works at the same time, they can naturally crush the other. Wan Ping'an even thinks this is a bit of an overkill.

"Okay, if you're okay, you can go ahead. Remember, all your resources, really all your resources, should be used to make Marco's first album in the company."

Xue Congfu watched Wan Ping'an nod and bow as he walked out, and then he extinguished the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray.

Humph, do you really think that I can just walk away and be alright? Do you really think I don't know what everyone in the company calls me? There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Since everyone calls me a smiling tiger, if I don’t take a piece of your meat with a smile on my face, wouldn’t it be a waste of my title of smiling tiger?

Press the intercom: "You can go and do what I asked you to do this morning."

"Yes, Mr. Xue."

Xue Congfu's secretary on the other end of the phone agreed.

Then he took out a phone he rarely used from the drawer, found a number and dialed:

"Are you almost ready for what we agreed on this morning? Let's get started tonight."

"Okay, this isn't the first time we've worked together. As long as the money is in place, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
