"Director Chen, Miss Yang, Miss Chen.”
Li Changsheng stood up and nodded slightly at Chen Kaige and the other two as a form of greeting.
"I've seen your performance. It was amazing and exciting, so I wanted to see you for a long time, but I was too busy and delayed it. However, your performance just now gave me a big surprise, so I'm looking forward to talking to you next!”
Boss Yang stretched out her slender hand and said with a smile.
Li Changsheng reached out and shook her hand like a gentleman, then quickly let go.
Boss Yang looked at his slender and good-looking but empty fingers and was slightly stunned. He raised his eyes and looked at him. There was a strange look in his eyes that was difficult to detect.
This boy was indeed very different from other men!!
He knew how to keep his distance.
Although this made her feel a little disappointed and she suspected that her charm had decreased, this method of not taking advantage of her at all gained her a lot of good feelings.
"Boss Yang is the investor I mentioned to you before.”
Chen Kaige explained.
Li Changsheng instantly understood.
He understood that Boss Yang was the third person who knew that he was playing the role of the supreme beauty, Wu Zetian.
Since that was the case, he did not need to worry too much.
"Director Chen and Boss Yang specially asked me to meet this time. There should be something, right?”
Li Changsheng went straight to the point.
"I heard that Mr. Li is still a free agent and hasn't signed a contract with any company?”
Boss Yang also went straight to the point.
"Yes, so Boss Yang wants to sign me?”
"Yes, I do have this idea. If Mr. Li has any requests or conditions, feel free to mention them. We'll discuss them in detail later.”
Boss Yang looked at Li Changsheng with appreciation and said with a smile.
However, Li Changsheng shook his head gently.""Since Boss Yang wants to sign me, then naturally, Boss Yang should first propose the treatment you can give. If it meets my requirements, then it is naturally best. If there is a deviation, then it is not too late for me to raise the conditions and requirements.”
"I have to say that Mr. Li is indeed an extremely intelligent and wise person. He knows to always hold the initiative in his hands.”
Boss Yang paused for a moment and continued," But I think very highly of Mr. Li. I don't want to beat around the bush. Let's talk openly."
"If Mr. Li is willing to sign the contract, I hope that it will be a full contract. That is, for the next three years, all your acting matters will be handed over to us, including but not limited to films, television dramas, and advertisements!”
"Here, I can at least guarantee the following. First, I will give you at least two to three movies a year, all with you as the main character. In addition, I will also give you at least five advertising endorsements.”
Boss Yang paused and gave Li Changsheng a meaningful look.
Li Changsheng immediately understood that the protagonist she was talking about should be the female lead or the main lead.
Two to three female lead movies a year, plus at least five advertisements, this was not a low salary.
"Sure."
Li Changsheng pondered for a moment and nodded.
"Secondly, after you sign the contract, the company will use all its resources to promote you, but the time limit is only three years. If you don't become famous within these three years, then you can't blame me.”
"Yes."
"Third, in these three years, you and the company's interests will be divided into 30 - 70 in the first year, 40 - 60 in the second year, and 50 - 50 in the third year.”
"If we continue to work together in the future, then the fourth year will be 60 - 40%, the fifth year 70 - 30%, and so on.”
"The more popular you are, the higher your share of profits will be. On the contrary, if you can't become popular, then these so-called shares are just empty talk.”
Boss Yang said.
Li Changsheng frowned and said,""This is because the ratio doesn't suit my taste. I hope that the first year will be 50 - 50, the second year will be 60 - 40, and the third year will be 70 - 30!”
Boss Yang, Chen Kaige, and Chen Fu were stunned at the same time and looked at him in surprise.
This guy really didn't say anything, but once he opened his mouth, he opened his mouth like a lion, wanting to scare people to death!
He actually wanted a 50 - 50 split in the first year!
One had to know that there were three types of contracts between artists and management companies. They were full contracts, partial contracts, and agency contracts.
A full contract meant that all the performance matters of the artist would be handled by the management company. During the contract period, the company had to promise the actor a number of roles and a minimum number of advertisements.
Part of the contract meant that the actor would only give certain rights to the company, but he would control the rest. For example, he would only give the rights to the role in the film and television series to the company, but he would control the filming of advertisements and other performances.
The drawback was that the advertising fee was the fastest and most worry-free for the management company.
However, you don't want to share the economic benefits of this advertisement with the management company. At the same time, you want them to put in effort to promote you. One can imagine how difficult it is.
The last contract was an agency contract, which meant that all the rights to perform were in the hands of the artist himself. The agency would only help you manage it as an agent, and they would receive a fixed salary.
Under such circumstances, it was even more impossible for them to be 100% attentive to you.
Especially when recommending roles to the production team, the management company would usually recommend the full or partial contract artists first, and then the contract artists.
Li Changsheng's condition was that they would split the profits in half from the start.
This made Boss Yang feel like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.
"Mr. Li, you have to understand that if we sign a full contract, our company will have to invest a lot of resources to support you in the early stages.”
"Under such circumstances, we definitely need to recoup our losses first before splitting the profits.”
"And if you don't become popular, then we will lose a lot of money and resources. This means that we have to bear a lot of risks in the early stages. If we split it like you said, we'll be at greater risk. I don't think you would do such a loss-making deal.”
Boss Yang frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Mr. Li, I think what Boss Yang said makes sense. You're still a new actor. It's indeed a little too high for you to set such high expectations at the beginning.”
Chen Kaige said from the side.
"Since we are talking about the contract, then we naturally have to talk about it properly and interact with each other. If Boss Yang thinks that my requirements are too high, then you can just press down or give me some compensation from other places. I can't just agree to it immediately after Boss Yang said the conditions.”
Li Changsheng said with a smile.
"Then what is your final expectation?”
Chen Meng couldn't help but ask.
Boss Yang and Chen Kaige also looked at him with burning eyes.
Li Changsheng smiled without saying a word.
After a moment, he said,"I'm just a newcomer. As long as Boss Yang is willing to give me a sincere price, I'll be fine."”
Eh, saying this was equivalent to not saying anything.
He didn't expect this guy to look so sincere, but in fact, he was also a sly person who refused to take any losses.
"If Mr. Li insists on this request, then I'm afraid we can't negotiate the contract today.”
Boss Yang glanced at Li Changsheng and sighed helplessly.
"It's fine. If the deal doesn't work out, I'll still be benevolent. Boss Yang specially rushed over to see me. In any case, I'm very grateful in my heart.”
"Director Chen has been kind to me, so a toast is also part of the title!”
"And Miss Chen, although this is the first time we've met, Miss Chen is one of my favorite actresses. Especially when she wears a cheongsam, she's even more beautiful. I should toast to Miss Chen!”
Li Changsheng instantly resolved the awkwardness at the table.
The eyes of Boss Yang and the other two lit up. They didn't expect this person to be a person with long sleeves and good dancing skills. He was definitely a social expert.
"Since we can't reach an agreement on the contract for the time being, let's put it aside for now. How about we have dinner first? Today is the rare Qixi Festival.”
Li Changsheng suggested.
Boss Yang and the others naturally had no objections.
Hence, the four of them happily had dinner and deliberately did not mention the contract for the time being.
After dinner, he took a short nap.
Li Changsheng tactfully bid farewell and left alone.
Since his three good friends were meeting, he had to leave some time for them to discuss the contract.
"I originally thought that this meeting would go smoothly, but I didn't expect him to give me a big Tai Chi the moment he arrived. Now it seems that it won't be easy to take him down with the previous conditions.”
Looking at Li Changsheng's back, Boss Yang frowned and said faintly,"
"His reaction was indeed beyond my expectations.”
A strange look flashed in Chen Kaige's eyes.
They had been working together for a month and a half on the film, and he was the one who knew Li Changsheng's acting skills and abilities the best. He would definitely be popular and would definitely be a hit. That was why he strongly recommended Boss Yang to sign him as soon as possible.
However, he did not expect that Li Changsheng would be much smarter than he thought. He did not sign the contract excitedly just because he was a newcomer and Boss Yang came to him personally.
However, none of this mattered to him.
Anyway, he wasn't the one signing the contract.
On the other hand, if Li Changsheng could sign a good contract, he would be able to develop better in the future. He would be even more gratified.
People who loved and cherished talents probably had such thoughts!
"We still have to make a decision on this matter as soon as possible. Otherwise, when his acting becomes popular, it will be even more difficult to sign him later.”
Chen Kaige pointed out.
Mr. Yang understood what he meant. He nodded slightly, but his frown deepened.
Only Chen Fu was puzzled.
"Director Chen, you just said that he's just a rookie actor, right? The conditions you offered are already considered heaven-defying. Ordinary veteran actors don't even have the qualifications to do so, but he actually didn't buy it.”
"I'm just puzzled. It's good that a person like him doesn't sign it. Why do you guys still look like you're struggling?”
Chen Meng frowned and said unhappily.
"You don't understand now, but you will know in the future.”
"If there's a genius born as an actor in this world, then Li Changsheng must be one of them. Moreover, he's the most heaven-defying one!”
Boss Yang looked at her meaningfully and said slowly.
In his heart, however, he smiled wryly. Oh, Chen Chi, Chen Chi, what are you saying about Li Changsheng now? You're full of dissatisfaction with him.
However, he was the first empress in history that you fell in love with at first glance, and you would still find her stunning every time you watched her videos. You would never forget her for a month and a half.
With such good conditions and acting skills, how could I not put in more effort to sign him?
"Alright, I'll go back and study it first.”
Boss Yang said.
"Yes, I'll go persuade him too."
Chen Kaige nodded.
Chen Meng pursed his lips, feeling even more depressed. He did not know why they were so obsessed with Li Changsheng.
"Forget it. This is your business. I won't care.”
"Director Chen, I want to ask you for a favor. I want to visit Empress Zetian on set tomorrow. Is that okay?”
Chen Fan looked at Chen Kaige with anticipation.
Chen Kaige and Boss Yang looked at each other and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing so mysteriously?”
Chen Meng was confused by the laughter, but they didn't explain. She was so depressed that she stomped her feet in anger.
It's almost 4,000 words, so I won't split it into chapters. If anyone has anything to say, just support me. Thank you!
