Chapter 586: Love Rival Becomes Subordinate
Tao Zhiyao put all the current difficulties of Xinghe Film and Television in front of Tang Tu, using an emotional strategy, and mentioned Qiu Jing's kindness to Tang Tu and her past respect for him.
She also said that her family and Tang Tu's family were close and familiar with each other. Tang Tu also knew her brother. They were all from the same circle and could help each other and benefit from each other.
Tao Zhiyao usually speaks directly, but when it comes to business, she is eloquent. She has been influenced by this since she was a child and understands the business world very well. She just disdained to use it before, but now that it concerns her own interests, she appeals to Tang Tu's emotions and reason, leaving him speechless.
Seeing his hesitation and his expression seemed to be loosening, Yu Zhan said at this time, "If you are not satisfied with the terms of the previous contract, you can sign a new contract with Xinghe. Not only do you not have to pay the 4.5 million liquidated damages, but you can also renegotiate your remuneration and related resources. If you agree to play the role of "Late Ming Dynasty Dream", we can give you a film salary of about 20 million."
At this point, Yu Zhan specifically emphasized, "It's your personal income after tax."
As we all know, the tax rate for celebrities is very high, and they have to share the profits with their agencies. 20 million is the actual money that Tang Tu can get. Among young male stars, this is already very high. As for those young actors who always say that their pay is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, it is all self-promotion and gimmicks. Can capitalists let you get money so easily? Not to mention that the agencies will take the lion's share.
So even Tang Tu, a second-generation rich man, was moved when he heard 20 million. As for Liu Lan and other friends, they were even more shocked.
Liu Lan and her mother sold cat food together and it took them so long to earn more than 10 million yuan. They both felt like they had made a fortune.
Sun Weiwei thinks it's easy for celebrities to make money. They shoot videos, do live broadcasts, and occasionally take on some advertisements. With the support of a strong fan base, their total monthly income can barely reach one million. But this money does not belong to one person. They are a team and now a company. As the scale expands, their filming costs are getting bigger and bigger. For example, renting a studio villa, the deposit plus half a year's rent, Sun Weiwei spent more than 300,000. She bought a new camera and other equipment, and spent another 200,000. Her wallet was deflated all of a sudden. If you want to make your business bigger, you have to invest more in costs! Just this little thing has made Sun Weiwei feel that the burden on her shoulders is very heavy.

Yu Zhan firmly believes that money makes the world go round. Tang Tu is not short of money, it’s just that the amount of money is not in place!
Before Tang Tu and Yang Huayue proposed to terminate the contract, Xinghe Film and Television provided them with a high-end business car, also known as a nanny car, and in addition to the agent, there was also an assistant and a full-time driver. After they proposed to terminate the contract, these benefits were of course taken back, but Tang Tu's assistant Xiao Ma was very loyal and did not leave.
Yu Zhan said that as long as Tang Tu didn't leave, he would get him a better car and two more assistants. His status would be like Wang Xiangqin's, with three henchmen following him wherever he went.
Tang Tu immediately said, "I only need Xiao Ma as an assistant."
"So you agree to this condition? Of course, if you have other requests, you can always tell me. As long as they are reasonable, I can agree to them."
Tang Tu was stunned. He saw the smile in Yu Zhan's eyes and realized that he was being led by the nose by him.
To be fair, the welfare benefits proposed by Yu Zhan are not the best.
During the period when Tangtu and Xinghe were terminating their contract, many film and television agencies contacted him and wanted to poach him, such as Huaguang Media and Lanxing Agency. They were even willing to help him pay the 4.5 million yuan penalty for breach of contract, and the specific salary could be negotiated to more than 10 million yuan.
However, other companies also put forward corresponding requirements and conditions to him. Simply put, none of them were as sincere and easy to talk to as Yu Zhan.
Especially He Lushen, who showed an eagerness to recruit talents, but Tang Tu felt that he did not put himself on an equal footing. He was the boss and he was an actor. He offered such good conditions and hinted several times that no other company would be willing to spend so much money to poach people, so he should be smart and agree!
Tang Tu didn't like He Lushen's arrogant attitude. They were not much different in age. His father was powerful and He Lushen's father was rich, so neither of them was worse than the other.
But Yu Zhan was no pushover either. He first tried to get close to his father (Tang Tu was overthinking it, as it was his father who took the initiative to strike up a conversation with him), and he didn't know what kind of sweet talk he used to make his father keep telling him how good Yu Zhan was!
Then she deliberately invited him to have supper, letting Tao Zhiyao brainwash him again, and in front of Liu Man and Shen Mozhen, she told him how good Qiu Jing had been to him. If he didn't agree, wouldn't he be cold-blooded and heartless? He would probably be scolded by his father when he got home!
In general, they are all routines.
