Chapter 42 Business Genius
"Is it really necessary? This person is not well-known, even if it is signed, if we don't make money, we may lose money."
Wang Lei smiled mysteriously: "We won't lose money."
It must be the first TV series, Wang Lei is very concerned about it.
The next day, on TV, on the Internet, short video sites, Weibo, etc., all kinds of overwhelming publicity came one after another.
Chen Nan finally knew why he was not losing money. With his way of spending money like this, even if the show became a hit, they would not be able to make much money.
But as long as the drama is good, it is inevitable that the male and female protagonists in the drama will become popular.
And actors are the cash cows of entertainment companies, and Chen Lei's chess is here.
Chen Nan was a little surprised. He underestimated him. This person is not only talented in studies, but also self-taught in business.
Wang Lei didn't think as much as he did. He just felt that it didn't matter whether the first TV series made money or not. The important thing was that the entertainment company became famous and could absorb more and better resources.
His method does work.
In just two days, the TV series ranked first in terms of broadcast volume and topped the Internet search list, and the male and female protagonists in the TV series became popular, and the number of fans was immediately full.
"The first group is full, the second group is full, the third group is full... There are more than [-] groups, my God, why are there so many fans?"
"Hi, yes, I'm Ming Shiyue's agent. What, want to make an appointment with Shiyue at our house? Sorry, his recent schedule is already full. When will he be available? That's not sure... ..."
"Sister Lan, Red Sky Group wants to find Brother Yue as an image agent."
"Sister Lan, Samsung TV wants to find Brother Yue for an interview."
……
Wang Lei sat in the office, dangling the office chair, looking at the busy office outside with satisfaction, grinning so much that his mouth almost reached his ears.
"Wang Lei, you are really a business genius." Sitting opposite him, Chen Nan couldn't help boasting.
"I know." Wang Lei boasted to himself with a smile.
Chen Nan: "..."
He suddenly thought of a sentence, thick-skinned and invincible.
The TV series is over, and the holiday is almost over.
Wang Lei meditates every day, and his spiritual progress is very slow.
In the second half of the year, various awards ceremonies came one after another. Ming Shiyue won the best actor of the year and was promoted to a new generation of actor. At the same time, his black material was dug out by the paparazzi.
He debuted as a walk-on, and photographed many little-known little people. These Wang Lei let the public relations department clean up one by one, but they are even more loved by fans.
Moreover, the prosperous Tang Dynasty was also exposed at the same time, urging the newcomer to become the contemporary actor, who has never been seen before, and who will never come again, making the actors envious. Wang Lei has become the most prestigious master in the film and television industry.
"Brother Shiyue, you've been so popular recently, the fans outside the door are all over their heads wanting to see you." Ming Shiyue was half kneeling beside a man in effeminate clothes, who was helping him with nail care.
Ming Shiyue looked down at his obsequious look, a little annoyed at being male or female, he withdrew his hand and shouted: "Sister Lan, Team Blue, change me to a manicure."
Lan Qingqing was very busy with his affairs, and when she heard his words, she walked over patiently and said: "You go back first, I will let the company send you the money."
The alluring man snorted, turned and left.
Lan Qingqing knelt down to comfort him and said, "What's wrong with my young master, who made you unhappy again?"
As the manager of Mingshiyue, she still has some insight. When Mingshiyue is unhappy, she will use the things around her as an excuse to vent.
"Sister Lan, what do you mean? I helped Sheng Tang make so much money, and we only got half of it." Ming Shiyue was a little annoyed.
Lan Qingqing was also a little helpless, knowing that he was soft and not hard, and said in a coaxing tone: "You have to know that the money you earn now is enough for you to play tricks for the rest of your life. To be a human being, you must know how to be grateful."
"I know, but I have received so many resources and helped their company earn so much money, I should have paid it off a long time ago. Blue team, let me tell you the truth, I want to do it alone."
"We can start a film and television company by ourselves. With my reputation, we can hire a few famous actresses, and we will definitely be able to produce popular TV dramas."
Lan Qingqing shook her head, sighed and said, "Shi Yue, you may not know that before that TV show was broadcast, Mr. Chen asked me to sign a ten-year contract."
"What, ten years!" Ming Shiyue's excited voice startled the other staff in the room.
Lan Qing hurriedly pulled him, motioning him to be quiet.
"Sister Lan, why did you sign for ten years?" Most of their actors will not sign for such a long time, and most companies are not willing.
"At that time, Mr. Chen said that the price was twice as high as your original net worth, and I agreed without thinking too much." Lan Qingqing was also a little confused in her heart. Now that she said this, she realized that there was a problem.
But after thinking about it again, if their company hadn't made him popular, he wouldn't be worth what he is now.
"Damn, I was fooled by them." Ming Shiyue's face was gloomy.
"Hmph, I won't just let it go." He got up and walked out the door.
"Where are you going, my little ancestor." Lan Qingqing was afraid that he would do something that would damage his image, so he hurriedly followed.
Tomorrow, Yue walked into Wang Lei's office like flying, and the secretary at the door didn't dare to stop him.
"Wang Lei, I want to terminate the contract with you." Ming Shiyue slapped the contract on the table.
He had thought about it, it would be a big deal to lose money, anyway, he could earn it back in the future.
Wang Lei was talking about something with Chen Nan, when he was interrupted, he frowned, glanced lightly at the contract on the table, and motioned for Chen Nan to settle it.
Chen Nan coughed lightly, stood up and took the contract, pretended to flip it twice, and said with a slight smile, "It's fine to terminate the contract, as long as Mr. Ming can pay enough liquidated damages."
"I'll pay the liquidated damages." Ming Shiyue gritted her teeth.
He will never again be oppressed by such a blood-sucking company.
Chen Nan turned to the last page and began to count seriously: "How many, one, two, three, four, five... Oh, I can't count them, you can count them yourself."
He put the contract in front of him, Mingshi Yue stared down at the long string of 1s behind the 0, feeling a little dizzy.
"Why do you have to pay so much?" His lips were pale, his voice was weak, and his face was full of despair.
"There's no reason, that's how it was written when the contract was first written." Chen Nan said with a smile.
Lan Qingqing, who arrived at the office, found that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wang and Mr. Chen, Mingyue has been in a bad mood recently, so I'll take him back."
Wang Lei nodded slightly.
No matter how much this kid dares to make trouble, believe it or not, Xue hides him.
After the two left, Chen Nan gave Wang Lei a weird look: "No wonder you said that the more zeros you wrote on the liquidated damages, the better, and that's what it means."
