Chapter 416 Sky-high contract
~.-~ ------..
Game 6 of the knockout round.
After six consecutive days of fierce competition, TV viewers across the country also followed CCTV's live broadcast and really enjoyed the addiction to listening to music.
All those who can reach this point are masters among the masters. Even those who are eliminated have the strength to be close to the professional level. Their departure often causes the audience to sigh.
Those who stayed are even better players, not only the audience, but also the judges were sighing secretly that there were so many people in China who could sing.
In fact, for a country as big as China, talented people are everywhere, but most of the time, these talents are buried in the crowd and become popular. Many people just lack an opportunity, and the program "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" planned by Liu Yufan just provides them with such an opportunity.
Chinese football is very smelly, but there are not people in China who can play football well, so it is not the people who have problems.
Compared to football, these literary and artistic people are obviously much lucky because they met Liu Yufan, a time traveler. "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala" is just the first step. With this good start, I believe that CCTV and other local small platforms will compete to launch such programs in the future. Those who have the ability but have no backstage finally have a stage for display. Although this stage still has too many human factors, at least it gives them a chance to stand in front of the camera.
Return to the game.
Today's game is no different from the past. Because all the players are new players and their fame is similar. But for Liu Yufan, it has special significance. Because in today's PK game, there are two of his generals.
Jay Chou and Stone.
What made Liu Yufan feel a little relieved was that these two people were not divided into the same group. Liu Yufan knew in his heart that the level of the two people was the kind of ability to be on the Spring Festival Gala. Needless to say, the future big stars, going to the Spring Festival Gala is as simple as drinking water for him. Of course, when he became famous, even if it was a stone, the strength of playing on the Spring Festival Gala was absolutely fine. During this period, the two people practiced very hard in Legend Entertainment. Liu Yufan took the time to see them twice and was very satisfied with the state they showed. Especially Jay Chou, he already had a little bit of the superstar style.
In the judges' seat, Na Ying talked to Liu Yufan as usual.
"Oh, you have two of you today. How are you doing?" Na Ying asked with interest. At this moment, she was very impressed by Liu Yufan's "knowing people" and "composing music". Not to mention anything else, just talking about the song "Smile-by-Smiling" written for her by Liu Yufan made her a little popular in the music industry again. This song that was enough to have an impact on her acting career was actually given to her for free by Liu Yufan, which made Na Ying feel warm. But she would not talk about her grateful words. She just recognized Liu Yufan as a "buddy". Although she still joked when she saw her on weekdays, inside, Na Ying was using her own strength to silently help Liu Yufan in her ability.
Just like today's grouping, it seems that Jay Chou and Shi Tou were not assigned to the same group on the surface, but behind this, Na Ying's efforts were not enough. In this regard, Liu Yufan's strength is insufficient. Although he is now a member of this circle, it is still too early to enter the circle. Those connections are pitifully few, Na Ying is different. He has been in the circle for more than ten years and has almost everything clear. This little thing was done with just one phone call. After the completion, she did not tell Liu Yufan, as if she was doing her own business.
This is Na Ying. Na Ying, who has a very unique personality. She has determined who she is good to him from the bottom of her heart and does not require too much language expression.
"Hehe, Sister Ying, just wait and see the show, absolutely no problem." Liu Yufan said with a confident smile.
"Just brat. Hey, you Concubine of the Tang Dynasty, there are many people in trouble these two days, there is no problem?" Na Ying asked with concern. She knew in her heart that since Li Yugang made a stunning debut in the first game, she had quickly become the target of major entertainment companies chasing each other in the past two days. Na Ying alone knew that some companies had already issued Li Yugang a contract of 500,000 yuan per year. This was already a price that was too high for a newcomer. Na Ying knew that Li Yugang and Liu Yufan had signed a contract, but she was sure that the price given by Liu Yufan was definitely not as high as this one. It was because of this that she was a little worried for Liu Yufan. You know that those giants would not care about the small liquidated damages once they fell in love with the artists. And Li Yugang is indeed worth their doing.
During this period, Li Yugang's reputation in the music industry can only be described as "popular". With his stunning debut in "I Want to the Spring Festival Gala" and the subsequent album released by Legend Entertainment, Li Yugang's image as a "concubine" quickly swept across the land of China like a hurricane. For a time, the figure and voice of this Concubine of the Tang Dynasty were everywhere on TV screens and entertainment magazines, and many companies have found Li Yugang's company - Legend Entertainment, hoping to let her endorse her products. At this time, Li Yugang could be said to be a huge "money tree". Which company is not jealous?
"Haha, Sister Ying, don't mention it. Now the Rolling Stone has been paid for one million to buy Li Yugang." Liu Yufan said with a wry smile. He once thought that once Li Yugang became famous, several major companies would chase him wildly and spend a lot of money to buy him transfers, but he didn't expect that they would be so crazy. He is just a newcomer, with a fixed income of one million a year and a share of records and advertisements. Not to mention Li Yugang, he is a little moved.
Fortunately, Li Yugang was still very conscientious and knew that all this was given to him by Liu Yufan today. He always explained to Liu Yufan immediately when the company contacted him, so as not to have misunderstandings. This also made Liu Yufan very satisfied and finally did not have a waste of time.
In fact, it is inevitable that Liu Yufan will do this. As the saying goes, "People go to high places and water flows to low places." Famous singers' value rises all the way, and there will naturally be bigger and better companies to recruit. In this case, it is undoubtedly an unreliable way to completely rely on the singer's "conscience", but at present, Liu Yufan has no good way. In addition to preparing richer contracts and higher liquidated damages for singers.
Fortunately, those people have not disappointed him so far. But with the development and growth of Legend Entertainment, there are more and more artists under it. Sooner or later, Liu Yufan will face this problem, which is a problem that all entertainment companies cannot avoid. Artists change jobs, and this is a situation that is too common in the entertainment industry.
"One million, they are cruel enough." After hearing Liu Yufan's words, Na Ying smiled exaggeratedly.
"Haha, Sister Ying is fine, they can't dig it away." Liu Yufan said confidently.
When signing a contract with Li Yugang, Liu Yufan thought of this day. Therefore, although the reward for Li Yugang was very high, the liquidated damages were also ridiculously high. The liquidated damages of up to 10 million were once not very understood by Li Yugang, who had just signed the contract. After all, he was just a newcomer and had never thought about changing jobs. But now he finally understood that 10 million, even those big entertainment companies needed to think carefully about this number.
Rolling Stone did come into contact with him and put forward a million conditions. However, when he heard the amount of the liquidated damages, the young manager's eyelids still leapt hard. The chairman of this small entertainment company is also a ruthless person. What's the matter? A small newcomer prepares such a perverted contract, which is simply a forced kidnapping. There is a higher liquidated damages than this, but they are all aimed at those big-name superstars. He has never seen any company prepare such a contract for a newcomer. Could it be that Mr. Liu has the foresight and is so confident that his artist will become famous? It doesn't make sense.
"Hehe, you are quite confident. How are these two today? Are you confident?" Na Ying quipped.
"Sister, you will know just by looking at it, and you won't disappoint you." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
At this time, the two hosts had already stepped onto the stage and began to host the host skillfully.
"Hello everyone, everyone, welcome to watch "I want to go to the Spring Festival Gala". I am Zhu Jun."
"I am Zhou Tao, hello everyone!"
The two hosts stood on the stage with a smile on their faces. At the beginning, they were a little unhappy to ask the two to host this entertainment program. After all, this is a new program and it is not very popular. Moreover, it is a form that has not been tried before. It is somewhat of a bit of using two people as "test products".
However, after the hosting of these episodes, the two of them had long lost their dissatisfaction at the time. "I Want to Go to the Spring Festival Gala" was so popular that it almost accounted for more than 70% of the national viewership, and the popularity of the two of them also increased. Now there are many hosts in the station who are envious, jealous and hateful of them, and some of them have tried their best to make small tricks to prepare to play the host. For both of them, only by hosting this program with a more dedicated spirit can those people's "little thoughts" be prevented from succeeding.
"What we are going to play in the sixth group knockout round tonight. I believe everyone will be very satisfied with the two days of competition. So how will the twenty players perform tonight? Let's wait and see!" After a starter, Zhou Tao announced the start of the competition. (..)
