Entertainment Empire

"Huh, I can finally take a break!"

In March, Luo Xun's contract with Tianguang officially expired. He no longer had to endure the company's inhumane exploitation within reasonable rules, and of course he moved out of the company's apartment.

He found a new residence.

Two bedrooms and one living room, a well-decorated room.

Although Luo Xun didn't make much money, he could still afford to rent a house in Yanjing. Besides, he worked hard for Tianguang for the last month, so a part of the share would go into Luo Xun's pocket.

"I have to find an assistant."

Luo Xun thought about it and said.

In order to find a new residence, Kong Shuang, as an agent, helped Luo Xun contact everywhere, and these tasks should have been done by assistants. It was okay occasionally, but if there was work to be done at this time, neither Luo Xun nor Kong Shuang would be able to do it.

"I think so too."

As an agent, Kong Shuang often has multiple duties beside Luo Xun, and he is too busy to handle the slightest trouble. As an artist, Luo Xun must stay focused on his work and has no time to take care of some trivial matters in life.

"But..."

Kong Shuang smiled and said, "Before that, I hope you can meet someone. He is a representative of an entertainment company and wants to invite you. I have seen the conditions offered by their company. It is not bad. The most important thing is that their company has no outstanding artists so far. If you go there, you will be the number one artist and the number one in the company."

"Number one?"

Luo Xun couldn't help wondering: "Which entertainment company in China is so miserable that even a newcomer like me who has just become popular can be directly signed as the number one in the company?"

"New company."

Kong Shuang smiled and said, "Because you are the first artist they want to sign after the establishment of their company, I joked that you will be the number one in the company immediately after you go there."

"..."

Kong Shuang has learned bad things.

Kong Shuang added: "Although it is a new company, it may not have enough experience, but it has sufficient funds and has the background of Huanyue Real Estate Company. You should have heard of Huanyue, right?"

Luo Xun nodded.

Huanyue is one of the top real estate companies in China. There was no such thing in his previous life, so he could not judge the future of this company. After all, it was a variable from different time and space.

"What are the conditions?"

"The income ratio is 40% to 60%. This is the benefit of the company's wealth. The income sharing of the company that has contacted you is mostly 30% to 70%. As for the contract period, he wants to sign for eight years. I tried it and it was not easy to give in in this regard, but the conditions in other aspects are not bad. For example, in terms of acting style, they will not require you to specialize in ancient costume martial arts. They hope that you can handle more different types of roles..."

"Let's meet."

Luo Xun said: "Appoint a time."

Kong Shuang shrugged: "Tonight is fine. He has been waiting for my call because signing you is the intention of a director of their company. They are very optimistic about your acting skills."

"Okay."

Luo Xun nodded.

At seven o'clock that evening, Luo Xun met the man that Kong Shuang had mentioned. He was a young man in a suit and tie, who looked gentle and refined. When he saw Luo Xun, he stepped forward to shake hands and introduced himself with a natural smile: "Hello, Mr. Luo, Ms. Kong, I am Chen Ran, the representative of Huanyue Entertainment."

"Hello."

Luo Xun said with a smile.

After sitting down, the three of them ordered dishes and exchanged pleasantries. When the atmosphere was almost right, Chen Ran introduced the topic: "We at Huanyue Entertainment are very optimistic about Luo Xun. Although Mr. Luo Xun has only one work at present, we have confirmed the idea of ​​inviting him through his performance in this work. This is the contract..."

Chen Ran opened his briefcase.

Luo Xun was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the other party to take out the contract directly. However, when he saw the other party put the contract in front of him, Luo Xun naturally read it in general.

In terms of income, it was indeed 40% to 60%.

This is indeed very generous, worthy of the entry of real estate capital. Although it is still a few years before all kinds of capital enter the entertainment industry, this is a parallel time and space, and some changes have occurred. Luo Xun has become accustomed to it.

Contract term.

As expected, it was set at eight years.

This made Luo Xun, who originally thought that the contract would only last five or six years at most, frown slightly. After all, he also had his own independent plan. If he delayed too long, what if something unexpected happened, or the company would freeze him out again...

Every failure makes one wiser.

Luo Xun, who had been frozen out, definitely did not want to repeat the same mistake, so he said bluntly: "Can this term be extended? Eight years means that I have to give my most youthful period to the company..."

"Mr. Luo Xun."

Chen Ran smiled and said: "Only this point, we have our insistence. For other conditions, we try to be as lenient as possible. In fact, this contract is already a very high-level contract."

Luo Xun nodded.

Indeed, as Chen Ran said, the conditions in the contract are more like facing a mature artist rather than a newcomer. In other words, Huanyue did not take advantage of her newcomer status. Most of the clauses are old-fashioned things, such as paying attention to restraint in behavior and speech in public places, such as dressing handsomely and appropriately, and not falling in love within five years, etc.

In fact,

The company will not be too strict about some conditions, such as dressing appropriately. If a reporter accidentally takes a photo of you looking sloppy, the company will at most criticize you.

As for love and the like.

Many stars secretly fall in love. As long as they are not caught by reporters, most of the time, the company will turn a blind eye, especially artists like Luo Xun who do not plan to follow the idol route.

"Liquidated damages... five million?"

Seeing the liquidated damages at the end, Luo Xun was stunned. He did not expect Huanyue to set such a high liquidated damages for a newcomer like him. He was speechless. You have to know that this is not the future. Five million can really be regarded as a sky-high liquidated damages!

"Ha, there's nothing we can do about it."

Chen Ran smiled awkwardly: "In fact, if you don't plan to leave our company, this number is not scary no matter how big it is. The reason why it is so strict is that our company is very organized and has a longer-term plan for your star career. We will not make unreasonable arrangements, especially for the physical health of artists. We also have very strict considerations. It is impossible to force you to make any announcements or..."

"At least one male second role with a 10 million investment every year?"

Seeing this condition in the contract, Luo Xun was a little surprised. Although Huanyue has money, it must not be blown by the wind. It is impossible to throw it in all at once. As a new company, does it have the resources and channels?

And what Luo Xun is most worried about is...

Huanyue's investment in the entertainment industry is just a test. No one knows where their tolerance limit is. If they fail a few times, will they not plan to continue playing?

"Don't worry."

Seeing that Luo Xun didn't quite believe it, Chen Ran smiled: "We have the strength and determination. The most important thing is that we have also considered the losses in the short term. This bottom line is very high..."

Luo Xun can be roughly sure.

Chen Ran will be a senior figure in Huanyue Entertainment. Ordinary small leaders cannot know so many details. The more they talk to each other, the more obvious this idea will be.

They talked for an hour.

The dinner was finally over.

When leaving the restaurant by car, Luo Xun turned around and asked Kong Shuang who was driving: "Do you have any ideas?"

"I'll listen to you."

Kong Shuang thought for a while: "But so far, this company is the most sincere one. Chen Ran's status in Huanyue should not be too low, and judging from your communication, it is actually speculative..."

"Three days."

Luo Xun nestled comfortably in his seat: "If no better company appears within three days, let's sign Huanyue."
