World-class directors in the entertainment industry

Daqin Manor.

The midday sun shines into the bedroom...

On the big bed in the luxuriously decorated bedroom, a man and a woman were sleeping soundly with each other in their arms.

It was just the dazzling light that made the expressions of the men and women on the bed begin to change...

"Well... I slept so comfortably. It's the first time in the past two months that I've slept so well."

Taylor Swift couldn't resist the intrusion of the light, so she opened her eyes, sat up and stretched comfortably.

"It's just to make money, don't work so hard, you're not short of money, not those few million."

Qin Dong also woke up at this time, sat up and said with a smile.

This is also what he thinks.

The entertainment industry is the industry that makes the most money, excluding big businessmen of course.

To be honest, if people in the entertainment industry count academic qualifications, they are not worth mentioning at all.

There are not many real college students, not to mention high school students and elementary school students.

If people with this kind of academic qualifications are placed at the bottom of society, they may only be able to live at the bottom of society. They may have enough to eat every month, but they may not be able to afford a house for the rest of their lives.

But in the entertainment industry, as long as you become famous, it doesn't matter what academic qualifications you have, and you can rise to the upper echelon of society.

If you are a singer, as long as you have a good song, you can live a cool life.

A singer can only have one good song in his life. Even if you are old, you can get tens of thousands of dollars in compensation if you just go out for a small activity in the countryside.

Even if you perform dozens of shows a year, you still have millions. This kind of people who can only rest on their laurels in the entertainment industry earn millions in a year, but they spend their entire lives as workers. In other words, most college graduates spend their entire lives.

You can't make any money either.

Not to mention a top music star like Taylor.

Last year we made tens of millions of dollars, and this year it will still be the same amount, or even more.

Why do you work so hard? Qin Dong naturally feels distressed.

"Well, I also know that I actually earn a lot, more than most people in the industry, but this is my job. I can't go to the activities arranged by the company. I also want to be home most of the time every month.

Rest and stay with you, Honey..."

After hearing this, Taylor leaned over and lay in Qin Dong's arms, complaining.

In this era, why make money? Isn’t it just for enjoyment?

Of course, except for those who have lofty ideals and saintly thoughts, most people work hard to make money not only for themselves, but also for their families and children. Now and in the future, they can live a good life, eat well, and wear well, without having to worry about money.

And sad?

"Well... when does your contract expire? How much is the liquidated damages?"

Qin Dong's eyes lit up when he heard this and he quickly asked.

In fact, he had wanted to ask for a long time, but he had been too busy and worried about the different thinking of foreigners, fearing that it would affect the relationship between the two of them, so he kept hesitating.

Now that Taylor had complained, Qin Dong just took advantage of the situation.

"Ah... Honey, why are you asking this? I still have one year left on my contract, which expires next year. The company has always wanted to renew my contract in advance. Last year, they started to probe me, and the liquidated damages were US$50 million."

After hearing this, Taylor immediately got up from Qin Dong's arms, looked at the man curiously and asked.

However, he also told the confidential information smoothly.

Of course, it is said to be confidential because things like contracts are confidential regardless of the industry.

Grain peel

But don’t you see, as long as actors, singers, sports stars, basketball stars, rugby stars, football stars, etc. in the entertainment industry become famous, all their contracts will be exposed by the media.

It's just that when reporting, it's difficult for outsiders to determine whether the information is true or false.

"Well... fifty million US dollars, it seems that you signed the contract relatively early back then."

Qin Dong felt happy when he heard this. Fifty million US dollars is a lot, isn't it?

It depends on the year. As of February 2013, in terms of Qin Dong’s status, or Taylor Swift’s current global fame and earning power, 50 million is nothing.

Even without Qin Dong, Taylor could have spent 50 million on her own. Of course, Taylor's current savings must not be much. After all, the money she earned last year was the most in her career, and it was only tens of millions of dollars.

After excluding taxes, expenses, etc., there is not much left, 50 million, which is probably most of Taylor's savings.

"Well, the contract was signed very early. At that time, I signed a long-term contract with the big machine company, up to 9 years."

Taylor smiled and explained.

When the contract was signed, the liquidated damages of US$50 million were indeed scary.

You must remember that Taylor was still a child at the time. When a record company signed a contract with an underage girl, it set a liquidated damages of up to 50 million US dollars. This figure is absolutely extraordinary.

Just like Messi in football, Messi came from Barcelona's youth training.

Messi suffered from dwarfism at the time, and Barcelona spent a lot of money to find doctors for treatment, and he gradually recovered. Messi did not disappoint Barcelona. He showed amazing footwork at a young age.

It is this treasure that is the future football superstar from La Masia with a good foundation. When Messi grows up and can really become a professional player, the penalty in the contract signed by Barcelona and Messi will not be so much.

High, you know how scary the contract Taylor signed back then was, with a liquidated damages of US$50 million.

"The nine-year contract was probably signed by your parents when you signed it. Honey, have you ever thought about your future? Should you continue to stay in Big Machine, a mid-level company in the music industry, or should you go independent?

Be your own boss, so you don't need to be bossed around."

Qin Dong calculated Taylor's age. The contract expires next year. It was a 9-year contract. It was impossible for Taylor to reach adulthood 8 years ago.

However, Qin Dong was naturally too lazy to say more about this matter, so he just mentioned it in one sentence and got down to business.

"I... Honey, actually I have also thought about it. Before, I was thinking of staying at Big Machinery Company."

Taylor looked at the man's serious face, felt the care, and felt warm in his heart. Hearing this, he did not hide the man he loved deeply:

"After all, the company trained me back then, although I also know that I have talent, hehe..."

Taylor, who boasted about himself, stuck out his tongue at Qin Dong in embarrassment when he said this.

The man also reached out and touched the woman's hair in a funny way, and his eyes indicated that she should continue talking.

"But back then I took my guitar with me to pursue music. I went to many music companies, but was eliminated from all of them..."

"Although there were people in Big Machinery Company who knew my father and gave me a chance, in the end, only Big Machinery Company gave me a chance."

"I am still very grateful to Big Machinery Company, so when the company started tentatively asking me about my intention to renew my contract last year, I did not refuse. If there are no accidents, I will most likely renew my contract."

"Even if the contract is slightly lower than that offered by other companies, including the top giants in the music industry, I am still willing to sign with Big Machine."

At this point, Taylor stopped talking and stared at the man with his eyes.

"SO...you should have other ideas now."

Qin Dong instantly understood what Taylor meant and took advantage of the situation to catch up to what Taylor was saying.

Women are just waiting for men to take the initiative to ask.

A smart man must pass this step.
