Bao Jianfeng is contacting the group of people from his fantasy literature club, while Henry tells the programmers to develop Chinese novel websites according to their own requirements. At the same time, he also asks people to dig authors and sign up famous writers. While Chen Tianqiao went to Korea to discuss business with Actoz, the game development company of legend. With Henry's financial support, it's better to buy the other party directly than to play as an agent. If the agent, 10% - 30% of the profits of the game will be distributed to Actoz company, which has the feeling of making wedding clothes for them.
Actoz's back investors are Korea Telecom, Samsung products, national venture capital and milestone venture capital, with a market value of about US $40 million. Of course, Shanda's current assets cannot be acquired. However, Chen Tianqiao, on behalf of the parent company ICQ, acquired Actoz company in the past!
Actoz was acquired and controlled by Shanda in 2004, but now it is only three years ahead of schedule.
"Legend" produced by Actoz was defeated in South Korea, which caused strong dissatisfaction from investors. As a result, Chen Tianqiao came to talk about the acquisition, and the two sides soon began formal negotiations.
At this time, IMDB China's agent company came to the news that Fan Bingbing had been formally poached from Huayi Brothers. Because Fan Bingbing's reputation is not big, so the other side in order to make good Henry, this agreed to release people.
"Mr. Williams, Fan Bingbing is filming in Hengdian. How can I arrange her in the future?"
"Let her make some TV series first, and then turn to the big screen in two years!" Henry paused and asked, "what's the situation with Zhao Wei and Lin Xinru?"
"Zhao Wei said she didn't need a brokerage company. We advised her many times, but it didn't work! But Lin Xinru's side is that the company behind her refuses to let people go, and she is willing to come to our company! "
"In this case, we will pay liquidated damages to dig up Lin Xinru and list the company as IMDB's unpopular company!"
"Yes
"As for Zhao Wei, we really don't want to. We don't want to force others. After all, we choose our own way!"
"Yes
Henry stopped and said, "Oh, yes. I heard a song recently, and I think it's very good. The song's name is Xingqing, and the singer's name seems to be Jay Chou.... "
"Oh, yes, this is a new Taiwan singer and creative genius." star clear "is one of the main songs in his first solo album" Jay "released in November 2000. All the songs in the album are composed, composed and supervised by him alone!"
"Oh, what a genius... It seems that Jay Chou is a rising star in the Chinese music world!" Henry said, "in this way, IMDB China agent company changed its name to Williams agent company. In addition to signing movie and television actors, it also signed singers and sent people to Taiwan to sign Jay Chou. And I'm going to have people form Williams records here! "
"All right."
Henry has long planned to integrate the company under his name. Many artists who have signed contracts all over the world will belong to Williams agent company to form a scale! In this way, it's not only convenient for management, but also specialized in the industry, with the most professional agent team to build these artists!
And Williams records is dedicated to Williams agent company services, whether it is a singer or movie star, can release songs for them!
In addition, the signing agent company and the signing record company are actually different. The agent company is responsible for all the work arrangements of the artists, while signing a record company, it says that the artists' songs can only be released to Williams records, including online songs and offline physical records and other music related matters
Agent company is not hegemonism, will certainly consider the wishes of artists, but the decision is still in the agent company. Of course, there is no doubt that famous stars have a lot of say in brokers' companies, and sometimes companies have to accommodate them
IMDB China's agent changed its name to Williams agent company. You can see the background of the name. Artists are willing to join this company in order to be famous!
……
A week later, Alfa records, Taiwan.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou Jielun!"
Hello, are you Jay Chou picked up the phone, puzzled, look at the number, is a strange phone, do not know.
"I'm from Williams agency. My name is tan Junyuan. Mr. Zhou, do you have time? Let's make an appointment to have a talk! "
"Williams brokers? Is it about the world's richest man, Henry Williams? "
"Yes, this is the company that Henry Williams first founded. The name Williams has been registered as a patent by Mr. Williams. Other companies can't use it without authorization! "
Jay Chou smacks his tongue, and his name can be registered as a patent, all right?!! After thinking about it, he replied, "well, I'm off work at 5 o'clock. Where are you?"
"I live in a hotel not far from your company," said Tan Jun after a long pause. "There is a cafe called" Blue Phoenix "near here. Do you know this place?"
"Yes, I'll see you after work!"
"All right!"
A little bit of time passed, and dusk was approaching. After work, Jay Chou went to the cafe agreed by both sides. As soon as I went in, I saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing up, smiling and waving at him.
This is the man
Jay Chou walked over and said, "Hello!"
"Hello, have a seat, Mr. Zhou."
Tan Junyuan started to introduce himself with a smile and said, "I'm Tan Junyuan, Asia president of Williams brokers." Then he handed a business card to Jay Chou.
Jay Chou picked it up and glanced at it. The name of the company, telephone, fax and e-mail were on the business card, and then Tan Junyuan's own telephone number and name.
"Mr. Tan Junyuan, are you asking me to sign a contract?" Jay said straight to the point.
"Yes, that's right, Mr. Zhou. What do you think? As you probably know, signing up with Williams agent company is equivalent to having Henry Williams as a big supporter, which is very important for an artist! " Tan Junyuan said with a confident smile.
Jay Chou shook his head and said, "yes, I know that... But without elder brother Wu Zongxian, there would be no me today. Isn't it ungrateful of you to let me leave him now?! So, I'm sorry, Mr. Tan, I can't sign up for Williams brokers.... "
"Mr. Zhou, the water flows down and the people climb up. Mr. Henry Williams is very optimistic about you, and let me personally come to Taiwan to invite you to join Williams agent company! " Tan Junyuan said this, quite a pause, and heard this, Jay Chou suddenly showed his face shocked.
"Mr. Chou, this is a golden opportunity. You must seize it. If you miss it, I'm afraid you'll regret it in the future! "
Jay immediately frowned and became silent.
Jay Chou naturally wants to be famous. If he is cultivated by Henry Williams, he will be famous all over Asia and even the world. However, if he abandons Wu Zongxian now, Jay Chou can't get through it in his heart, as if his conscience has been condemned... For a while, it's very tangled!
After a while, Jay Chou gritted his teeth and said firmly, "I'm really sorry, Mr. tan. My choice is still to refuse!"
"Mr. Zhou, don't you think much about it?"
"Don't think about it!" What Jay Chou said is firm. Then he got up from his chair and said, "goodbye, Mr. Tan!" With that, Jay left the cafe, but he didn't drink a mouthful of coffee on the table
Tan Junyuan frowned lightly. He thought things were easy to handle, but he didn't want to meet such a stubborn person. He thought about it and called Henry.
"Mr. Williams, I talked to Jay Chou, but he didn't want to sign our company!"
"What's going on?"
"Wu Zongxian was very kind to him, so he didn't want to abandon him!"
"Is Jay Chou an artist of Wu Zongxian company?"
"Yes! Wu Zongxian's company is called Alfa records
"Yes! Since Jay Chou couldn't dig it out, he bought Alfa records!! "
Henry's eyes flashed a glimmer of light, the company belongs to me, Jay Chou is not also my signing artist!
"I see. I'll do it right away." Talk about Junyuan and point your head.
So, the next day, Tan Junyuan went straight into Alfa records. When Jay Chou saw him, he was shocked and nervous. He thought, how did he come to the company!
At this time, Wu Zongxian came to meet Tan Junyuan with a smile.
"Ha ha ha... Mr. Tan, you are here!"
Tan Junyuan nodded with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Wu!"
"Me too. Nice to meet you. Come on, let's talk in the office!"
Wu Zongxian enthusiastically took Tan Junyuan to his office. After sitting down, Tan Junyuan said, "Mr. Wu, I like to be straight to the point, so I won't beat around the bush with you. I'm here to buy Alfa records
"Buy Alfa records?" Wu Zongxian was shocked.
"Yes."
Tan Junyuan gazed at each other and said, "Williams agent company is willing to invest NT $600 million to wholly acquire Alfa record company!"
Alfa records was not established long ago, and because Wu Zongxian had been busy with other affairs, the company didn't have much specific business at first. Until Jay Chou became popular, Alfa records gradually developed into a big company relying on Jay Chou as a cash cow. However, the contract between Jay Chou and Alfa records was too harsh, and Wu Zongxian, like a capitalist, exploited Jay Chou's surplus value as much as possible, which eventually led to their feud.
When Wu Zongxian tried to repay his kindness, Jay Chou couldn't bear it, and it was inevitable that he would turn over. No matter how great the kindness is, seven years is enough!
"NT $600 million!" Wu Zongxian was surprised. He knew in his heart that the other party could offer such a high price for Jay Chou! Jay Chou is the only artist that Alfa records can win at present
Wu Zongxian is thinking about the gain and loss at the moment. NT $600 million is enough to make him a tycoon among Taiwanese artists. Can Jay Chou make so much money for himself? Jay Chou's talent is revealed through his first album. Maybe he can become a superstar in the future? It's really hard to make a decision
Wu Zongxian raised his head and said, "Mr. Tan, I have to consider this matter for a few days before I can give you a reply."
"Ha ha, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm going to stay in Taiwan for a few days. You can tell me when you think about it!" Tan Junyuan said slowly, the performance is not urgent.
"Well, good!"
Just after Tan Junyuan left Alfa records, Wu Zongxian called Jay Chou to his office. He asked in a deep voice, "Jay, did the man just look for you?"
"Yes, yesterday I was invited to the cafe to talk about things."
"Where are you?" Wu Zongxian's face changed.
"Gone!" Jay Chou replied.
Wu Zongxian's face sank and he continued to ask, "what did he talk to you about? Are you going to dig you? "
"Yes, but elder brother Wu Zongxian, you can rest assured that you are kind to me. Without you, Wu Zongxian would not have me, Jay Chou, so I have rejected him!" Seeing that Wu Zongxian's face was becoming more and more ugly, Jay Chou quickly explained.
On hearing this, Wu Zongxian's face softened slightly. He patted Jay on the shoulder and said, "good! Thanks to Wu Zongxian, I spent money to cultivate you! First of all, you should learn to be grateful. You have done a good job. Don't let me down in the future! "
Jay Chou nodded.
"Well, Jay, go out to work..."
"Well!"
After Jay Chou left, Wu Zongxian meditated alone. After half a sound, he murmured to himself, "no, the liquidated damages for the contract signed by Jay Chou before are less than 5 million US dollars. If he wants to change his job, won't I lose?" The more Wu Zongxian thought about it, the more inappropriate he became. So he immediately began to draw up a contract to directly increase the penalty to NT $1 billion, which can be called the first day's penalty for artists in Taiwan.
"Come to my office, Jay." Wu called and said.
"Oh, I'll be right there!"
Jay Chou walked into the office and asked, "brother Wu, what can I do for you?"
Wu Zongxian said with a smile: "you sit down first. I really have something to do with you."
After Jay Chou sat down, Wu Zongxian said, "well, I've drawn up a new contract. If you don't have any opinions, you can sign it."
Jay Chou took the document Wu handed him, opened it and read it carefully.
After watching, Jay Chou blushed and looked very ugly.
This document is just a deed of sale. It has been signed for seven years, and the penalty is NT $1 billion. Moreover, the copyright of all Jay Chou's songs belongs to the company, while the income is distributed in the same proportion as that of ordinary singers. The company takes 70% and the artists 30%.
"Brother Xian, is the contract too harsh? Seven years after the signing of the contract, I don't want to say, but is the NT $1 billion penalty an exaggeration? "
Wu Zongxian said with a smile: "ha ha, the high penalty means that the company is optimistic about you and will focus on training you in the future. Although the share between you and the company is 3:7, the company will tilt more resources to you. With the help of the company, your album will surely sell well, and naturally you will get more money than ordinary singers! "
"What's up, Jay? Don't you believe your brother Xian
