for Advance Chapter
Yang Mi naturally understood what Li Xue said. Although Rong Xinda is a more traditional family-style agency that binds artists through family ties and focuses on signing and training new artists, the mainstream of the industry has begun to lean towards large-scale professional agencies.
In those highly market-oriented professional agencies, they will not talk to you about favors. Instead, they will focus on your ability and strength. If you are good, you will be hired. If you are not good, you will be replaced. This is to divide people into different levels, and artists of different levels enjoy different contract rights.
"What kind of contract did Qin Niu sign?"
"Qin Er is Director Wu's goddaughter. Director Wu is very optimistic about her, so he signed her as a rising star tailor-made for her, and she is being trained according to the goal of becoming the future No. 1 and one of the four major actresses.
Therefore, during the first year of internship, the profit split is 30:70, the contract fee is one million, and there will be one TV series and one movie, both of which are important roles within the top ten.
If she performs well during the one-year internship, she will be promoted to a formal contract for three years. During these three years, the profit split is 40:60, the contract fee will be five million, and there will be at least two TV series and one movie every year, both of which are the protagonists within the top five, with a guaranteed income of ten million and a breach of contract fee of one hundred million.
When the three-year formal contract expires, she will have established a firm foothold on the big screen or successfully dominated the small screen and become a popular young actress. Then you can get a five-year contract as the top actress.
50-50 profit sharing, no more TV series, only movies, and at least two A-class productions with an investment of more than 300 million yuan as the leading actress during the contract period, with the goal of impacting the big actresses and winning the three major Golden Horse Awards.
After that, it is the title contract model, which is mainly based on film salary plus dividends, without any binding, and you are already a superstar at this time.
If you can't reach the position of a superstar within five years, there is really no need to renew the contract. We are Perfect Entertainment, as the name suggests, we only want the most perfect one. "
Don't mention Yang Mi, even Li Qin is dumbfounded now, because she really doesn't know what kind of contract she signed. Anyway, whatever her godfather says is what she believes, and she believes that her godfather will not lie to her.
Yang Mi quickly thought of a very crucial point and asked Li Xue directly: "What will happen if you fail the first year of internship?"
"If we can't even pass this most basic level, why are we here? We are not a garbage recycling station.
But I believe in Director Wu's vision, and I believe even more in the company's strength. With the resources we provide, he can't even make a splash. What's the point of keeping him like this? And you don't think everyone can sign such a rising star, right?"
Yang Mi really thought at first that this was specially provided for newcomers, but now listening to Li Xue's tone, it seems that it's not the case. Can't this contract be signed by anyone?
"For example, Qin'er is starring in a mythical drama and a big production with an investment of over 300 million. It is very likely that she will film with Big Brother Jie and others. It is said to be an internship. Unless your performance is really terrible, it will be too easy for you to become famous. If you can't become famous with the combination of Dragon Girl and Jie Girl, I suggest you just quit the circle and change your career."
Yang Mi also nodded in agreement. It's uncertain about this resource. As expected, not everyone can sign it. So if I sign a contract, what kind of contract should it be?
"Sister Xue, what kind of contract can I sign then?"
"We will have to evaluate this before we can give you a final answer, because we don't sign with everyone, and we don't plan to sign many people.
But the lowest level in our company is a three-year formal contract, which means you can only sign a three-year contract, mainly for the small screen.
We won't accept anyone below this level, and my sister can only sign the second level if she comes. There are only a few first-level artists in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
There are currently three artists who have signed contracts with the company. In addition to Qin Er and Xiao Bai, there is also Cecilia Cheung. She signed her agency contracts outside Hong Kong and Taiwan to us, and she is currently holding the No. 1 contract."
Li Xue didn't mention Bai Bing's contract, but it should be a formal contract, that is, a third-level contract, mainly for the small screen, so Bai Bing should be the heroine of the drama version of The Myth, and Li Qin will be the supporting actress.
Although Li Qin started from the lowest level, she is very young. One year plus three years later, she will only be 21 years old. By then, she will be able to enjoy the treatment of the top actress. This is probably the youngest big actress in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry. She became famous earlier than the four actresses and the two ice queens today. She is worthy of being a godfather. It is different to have a godfather to protect her.
"Can that be faster? I have received a notice from Rong Xinda. I have to give them a reply tomorrow at the latest. I am afraid I can't wait too long."
"Mi Mi, I call you that too. Sometimes choices are important. In this world, most of the time, there is no such thing as riding a donkey to find a horse. If you want to have a bright future, it depends on whether you dare to take a gamble at the critical moment.
Didn't Qin'er also not know what the future would be like before, but didn't she also make a decision on the spot?
We are not anyone's backup, and no one is qualified to let us be her backup. I can tell you clearly now that it is impossible tomorrow. You can do whatever you want."
After Li Xue finished speaking, she left the restaurant and went to Wu Mingxuan's presidential suite upstairs. Wu Mingxuan had seen everything through the video call. It was called an investigation, but in fact, the boss Wu Mingxuan had the final say.
The contract was thought up by Wu Mingxuan at midnight. It did not exist before Yang Mi called yesterday. It exists now. Anyway, Wu Mingxuan basically signs those rising stars who are more familiar to future generations, so this arrangement is very reasonable. If you can't even become a small-time actress, what use are you?
"Brother Xuan, do you think that Yang Mi will directly reject Rong Xinda? That's little Xue Baochai."
"When doing big things, you must avoid playing both sides. How can such a good thing happen if you want everything and are reluctant to let go of everything? If you can't even figure this out, it means that she is not meant for us."
Wu Mingxuan has no interest in Yang Mi now. The current Yang Mi is too different from the big Mi Mi who will come later, so Wu Mingxuan will give her a chance. Whether she can seize it depends on her own ability.
However, what makes Li Xue most curious is the contract given by Wu Mingxuan. She can understand Li Qin's contract, but she really can't understand Yang Mi's contract. What is this? Is it a foot-washing maid?
Similar to the Star of Hope contract signed by Li Qin, Yang Mi's contract is also a special contract, but it feels
like a scam no matter how you look at it. The profit sharing is very high, starting at 50-50, but there is no penalty, and the internship period is also very long, Li Qin's is one year, hers is three years, and she also has to play supporting roles for other artists in the company, which is very much like the legendary foot-washing maid.
