Chapter 98 Establishing His Own Entertainment Company
Zhou Jieqiong's family already had some connections with Tang Lou's family. After discussing it with her family, Zhou Jieqiong's parents readily agreed to let her return to China ahead of schedule.
Tang Lou has now become a big shot in KuMiao, with a well-known reputation, so such an opportunity is certainly rare.
Zhou Jieqiong's mother then contacted the old lady in the tenement building. With this connection, plus Zhou Jieqiong's own good potential and favorable conditions, she was able to further develop her relationship with the old lady.
Tang Lou immediately agreed to her signing, just like Yang Chaoyue, for ten years, with the same profit-sharing ratio.
As for the basic monthly salary, Zhou Jieqiong is still a complete newcomer, so she was given a basic salary of six thousand yuan.
However, the contract includes a guarantee clause that allows her to participate in at least one variety show or star in one film or television drama each year.
Tanglou certainly has sufficient resources to handle such terms. Moreover, what's the point of signing an artist if they can't participate in projects or create value?
After negotiating with the two, Tang Lou set his sights on Qin Hao, who would become his signature actor in the future Mist Theater.
Moreover, according to my memories from my previous life, Qin Hao is also a very useful variety show guest. His market value hasn't increased yet, so signing him is the best opportunity.
Currently, Qin Hao's contract is still with Beijing Shishiba Culture Brokerage Co., Ltd. Given that Qin Hao's current market value and annual income are not high, this is the best time to terminate the contract.
With Tanglou's current industry standing and Qin Hao's absolute trust, Shiba Culture would never dare to offend Tanglou.
After paying a ten million yuan penalty for breach of contract, they signed Qin Hao.
As compensation for poaching talent, Tanglou also gave some variety show and web drama roles to the artists from Dijing Shishiba Culture.
After securing Qin Hao's support, his entertainment company was basically established.
As for the actresses they collaborated with before, they are all now in their own companies and are top actresses. Tanglou doesn't have that much money to mess around with them.
Therefore, I've directly given up on collaborations with artists like Dilraba, Yang Mi, Zhang Yuqi, and Zheng Shuang, and we'll just work on future projects together.
However, Tian Xiwei, who is currently working on the set of "The Silent Truth," is still a blank slate. She has just started university and has not signed with any company.
Tang Lou summoned Tian Xiwei directly to his office.
At only nineteen years old, Tian Xiwei was still somewhat naive and inexperienced, and she was very nervous about meeting a big shot like Tang Lou in person.
Inside the office, Tian Xiwei sat opposite Tang Lou, nervously lowering her head slightly, not daring to look directly into Tang Lou's eyes.
Feeling uneasy, she dared not say much, afraid of saying the wrong thing, and obediently sat waiting for Tang Lou's instructions.
"Xiaotian, I've spoken with Director Xin and Teacher Liao, and they all highly praised your performance on set."
"Although this is your first time participating in filming, you have great potential and acting talent."
"Moreover, you have a great appearance; you're sweet, cute, and full of youthful energy."
Tang Lou showered Tian Xiwei with compliments, making her blush with pride.
"Mr. Tang, you're too kind. I'm just learning how to be a good actor from Director Xin and Senior Brother Liao."
"It is an honor to participate in this project. I am very grateful to President Tang for letting me join this crew and act with so many outstanding seniors."
When talking about this experience, Tian Xiwei expressed her heartfelt gratitude and honor. The cast and crew of "The Silent Truth" were basically veteran actors and highly dedicated artists. Everyone was very sincere and serious about acting.
From them, Tian Xiwei truly felt the charm of the acting profession. This filming experience, in addition to gaining experience, was more about inheritance and being influenced by what she saw and heard.
When she first entered this industry, Tian Xiwei had a very high starting point, which had a very important influence on the formation of her mindset.
She has a certain reverence and passion for the acting profession.
Tang Lou was also very satisfied with Tian Xiwei's condition. After chatting about work and life for a while, Tang Lou changed the subject.
"Xiaotian, I've started an entertainment company and want to sign you. I'd like to know your interest."
"Once you join my company, I can guarantee you plenty of opportunities and projects in the future."
"Besides film and television dramas, we will also give priority to my own artists when there are suitable opportunities in our various variety shows."
When Tian Xiwei heard that Tang Lou wanted to sign her, she was both excited and flattered.
After all, she was just a freshman who had just started school and didn't have much experience. Being noticed by a big shot like Tang Lou was an absolutely incredible opportunity.
Tian Xiwei made no attempt to hide her excitement and longing.
"Mr. Tang, of course, I would be very happy to join your company."
Tang Lou hadn't expected Tian Xiwei to join the company so readily.
"Okay, I'll have the company send you the electronic version of the relevant contract in a bit. You can check it out, and if there are no problems, we'll arrange to sign it as soon as possible."
"You're still a student, so finishing your studies is the most important thing. At that time, your studies should be your priority. I'll arrange some suitable variety shows and TV dramas for you."
Tang Lou was very patient with a young girl like Tian Xiwei, waiting for her to grow up slowly.
After completing the signing of Tian Xiwei's contract in Tanglou, his company entered a new phase.
After starting their own company, they began to rely less on the entertainment companies they had previously worked with.
Jiaxing Media was extremely anxious after learning that Tang Lou had established his own entertainment company.
After cashing out and leaving Tanglou, the inflated valuation and huge bubble left those at Jiaxing Media in a difficult position.
Yang Mi and Dilraba have signed long-term contracts with astronomical penalty clauses, and Yang Mi also holds a certain amount of equity, so they are now tied to Jiaxing Media.
In order to maintain this high valuation, artists like Yang Mi, Dilraba, and Zhang Bingbing need to constantly film projects to keep their popularity and solidify their status.
Therefore, Yang Mi had no choice but to take the initiative and seek cooperation opportunities from Tang Lou.
Yang Mi had previously invested in Xiaohongshu with Tang Lou and made a fortune, so she was looking for an excuse to thank Tang Lou.
Yang Mi has already reached an agreement with Liu Kaiwei and has begun the divorce process, but it has not been announced yet.
Therefore, Yang Mi is now much more relaxed.
Moreover, her last time with Tang Lou gave her unprecedented satisfaction.
Tang Lou naturally did not refuse Yang Mi's invitation.
The workload has been quite heavy lately, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to chat with Yang Mi and relax a bit.
This time, Yang Mi took the initiative to find a themed hotel and invited Tang Lou to go there.
To maintain secrecy, Yang Mi always disguised himself. When he arrived at Tanglou, Yang Mi was already waiting inside for a long time.
