The richest person in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 244: Fan Bingbing's Purpose, a Game That Goes Wrong
Zhang Chen looked at the content of the document that Fan Bingbing gave him, which was actually an artist contract.

The reason he asked this was because the contents of the contract surprised him so much.

Generally, artist contracts are written in great detail, including what the agency needs to do and what obligations the artist needs to assume.

In addition, there are the most important things involving money, such as the profit sharing ratio, contract term, and breach of contract compensation standards.

Normally, when an artist makes a request, he or she will definitely try to exaggerate what he or she wants and gain as much benefit for himself or herself as possible.

In terms of the deadline, a more appropriate deadline should be set based on the letter sending situation and the degree of importance the brokerage company attaches to you.

For example, between a 3-year contract and an 8-year contract, under the same conditions, the company will definitely prefer the artist with the 8-year contract.

However, if an artist does not want to be bound by the company for too long, or feels that he or she will have great development within three years, he or she will sign a three-year contract first, and then use his or her own value to renegotiate the contract with the company after three years.

Therefore, there are many considerations in the contract between the agency and the artist.

However, the contract that Fan Bingbing gave to Zhang Chen was very different.

First of all, in terms of conditions, there are no other requirements except the priority of wanting to obtain appropriate resources from the company as much as possible.

If this is the only condition, then Fan Bingbing simply wants to gain benefits, and Chenguang Entertainment can ignore this condition.

Because a general condition is equivalent to no condition.

What is “priority of appropriate resources”?
Chenguang Entertainment has countless reasons to prove that a certain resource is not suitable for Fan Bingbing.

But she still mentioned it, because of the following restrictions on herself:
1、范兵兵在签约期间的收入按2:8分配，她2，晨光8
2. Contract term: 30 years

3. The penalty for breach of contract will be calculated based on ten times of Fan Bingbing’s income in that year, and 1.2 times of that year’s income in the second year multiplied by 10. The penalty for breach of contract will be paid for as many years as there are left in the contract.

In addition, it also limits the possibility of concealing income. The finances are completely accounted for by the company's accountant, and the agent is fully subject to the company's assignment.

Of course, it also included some of the support she wanted, but the conditions were quite loose.

It's more like blocking your own way than making a request.

If this contract is entirely for the profit of Morning Glory Entertainment, then if it goes to court in the future, the contract will be ruled invalid because the content is too exploitative.

But Fan Bingbing even blocked this road.

So, this is not a contract;

A contract of sale.

"Boss, I have been determined to work at Chenguang Entertainment since the filming of Return of the Pearl, but I always feel that you don't trust me." Fan Bingbing stood in front of Zhang Chen without backing down, "I want a lot."

Zhang Chen did not answer, but fell silent, holding the contract in one hand.

Fan Bingbing was right in saying that Zhang Chen had never placed Fan Bingbing in an important position in the company.

There are many factors that lead to Zhang Chen's complicated mentality towards the "Fan Ye" in front of him.

First of all, her personality determines that she will be successful in the entertainment industry in the future. Secondly, the change in mentality brought about by this change in status will make people inflate.

Just like Zhang Chen was guarding against Wang Jinghua's job-hopping, he was also always prepared for the possible betrayal from Fan Bingbing.

It is impossible to say that he does not have some negative information about the artists who used to be under his company.

Zhang Chen has always been a person who puts himself in a relatively safe position and always has some backup plans for everything.

The only difference is whether he wants to use these seemingly despicable means.

The company is growing bigger and bigger, and the assets are increasing. If he still holds on to the idea that everyone in the world is a good person, then he is not far from death.

"You are very smart."

Zhang Chen leaned back in his boss chair and threw the contract on the table: "Don't you want to leave yourself a way out?"

"I thought about it." Fan Bingbing lowered his head and pursed his lips, "but it didn't work."

"Oh?" Zhang Chen raised his eyebrows.

"I followed Sister Hua to Huayi, really thinking that I could help the boss a little, but it seems that my cleverness backfired and you misunderstood me." Fan Bingbing laughed at himself, "So, to prove that I really don't have any bad intentions, I have to do this." The last sentence was said to the contract on the table.

"I don't care whether it's true or not. You're doing this just to get more support from me. But there's no need to sign a contract with no way out, right?"

"Boss, I have always had confidence in the Chenguang Group. I don't think I can lose this time."

"Xiao Xue, it seems like someone can understand you now." Zhang Chen handed the contract sent by Fan Bingbing to Xue Yining, "Take her to complete the formalities."

Xue Yining nodded and walked out with Fan Bingbing.

"Xue Zhu, you."

Xue Yining smiled brightly at Fan Bingbing but did not answer.

How could she gain Zhang Chen's trust?
It can only be said that the terms she signed were more stringent than those signed by Fan Bingbing. Apart from that, there were other weaknesses that she herself handed over to Zhang Chen.

Trust is never just a verbal promise in a few words.

Chenguang Building, the recording hall of "The Voice of China".

Zhang Chen, wearing a baseball cap and a pair of large sunglasses on his face, sneaked into the recording site.

"It's not easy to sneak in." Zhang Chen muttered.

He was almost stopped outside by the company's security just now, but luckily he took off his sunglasses in time.

The boss's secret visit was almost blocked.

"Brother, which stage are we at?" Zhang Chen found an empty seat in the last row and nudged a man next to him with his elbow.

"We've already gone through four rounds, and the last one will start soon." The guy was staring at the stage at first, but turned around and looked at Zhang Chen in the middle of his words, "Why do I feel like your voice is a little familiar?"

"Everyone says my voice is very similar to Zhang Chen's."

"Come on, you look like Zhang Chen, but I look like Hua Zai."

The buddy rolled his eyes and turned his gaze back to the stage: "I didn't expect Yifei to be so strong."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chen's eyes hidden behind his sunglasses widened a little.

"Yifei and Zhang Shaohan have both competed twice, both of which were victorious. Now it all depends on the next PK between the two of them."

"Is this true? I heard Zhang Liangying is very good. She also lost?"

This time, Zhang Chen was really surprised by the result.

Logically speaking, Liu Yifei, who has been learning vocal music with Sun Fangping since childhood, can be better than many talented contestants even if she works harder. Even though Zhang Liangying is still very young now, the strength of the two is at most on par with each other.

It was Liu Yifei's fault for not studying seriously when she was young. The fact that they were on par with each other was the result of his recent mad training.

But the basics are the basics, which only allow her to sing the song completely. However, factors such as expression and emotion are not something that a girl with only 15 years of life experience can easily master in a short period of time.

The most important thing is, Liu Yifei’s score from the public judges was only one-tenth, so how did she win?

"I didn't believe it at first, but the two songs she sang, "You" and "Love", felt like they were tailor-made for Yifei. They were so sweet~"

This tall and mighty man actually made a gesture of holding his heart with both hands, which scared Zhang Chen so much that he quickly moved away from him.

"You sang well?"

"Very good, very vivid." The old man muttered again, "I always feel that Zhang Chen had other ideas when writing these songs for Yifei." "Let's start, let's start."

While the two were chatting, the program crew was also busy.

When the staff on site were ready, Teacher He returned to the stage: "Next is the last PK of the night. The result of the game will also determine the champion of the Princess Mentor Team. Will it be Yifei who has impressed you with her new songs all the way, or Shaohan who has a unique voice? Let us wait and see!"

Through the draw, the first to appear was Angela Chang.

As a familiar prelude sounded, her recognizable and penetrating voice reached everyone's ears through the speakers at the scene:

"Foam in the sun is colorful

Just like I am happy after being cheated
"

The melody of "Bubble" is grand and infectious, showing Zhang Shaohan's wide vocal range and rich singing skills.

The love and vulnerability she expresses in her singing can also burst out with huge energy, as if she sees through the bubble of love and breaks out of the cocoon to be reborn.

If Zhang Chen's version of "Bubble" is about seeing through and letting go, then Zhang Shaohan expresses a person's rebirth.

"It's OK to sing."

Zhang Chen nodded. Although there were still some flaws in some sections, the song was more than 90% complete.

"It's okay? Are you Zhang Chen or Michael?"

The buddy next to him rolled his eyes when he heard Zhang Chen's comments. He felt that this mysterious guy next to him was a little arrogant.

"Yes, yes, you sing very well." Zhang Chen added helplessly.

From the perspective of ordinary listeners, Zhang Shaohan's performance was indeed perfect.

Before they could talk any further, Liu Yifei came on stage.

“It’s a new song again. I’m really looking forward to it.”

"Shhh."

Zhang Chen responded to the buddy's complaint with one word, although he was also looking forward to the girl's performance.

“No big wish
There's nothing to rush.
I saw the red light flashing at the intersection.
It's like a little sun blinking
The dark clouds are quite bold
"

The song begins with a harmonica prelude with a strong narrative feel, while the lyrics reveal an optimistic atmosphere of taking things slow and enjoying life to the fullest.

"Look, the puppy is barking

The leaves will smile
The wind is whispering

Why not enjoy it for a second?

Blurred Romance

"

Liu Yifei's voice has the crisp and clean clarity unique to a girl, outlining every bit of a happy life and is particularly healing.

"It's OK to laugh or cry

Today is the best companion for tomorrow
It's good to laugh or cry. It's just me.
Your best companion
"

The warm, cozy and relaxed atmosphere made the audience hum along unconsciously, which was very contagious.

When the music ended, people at the scene couldn't help but smile.

“You guys are making it difficult for me.”

The most conflicted person is probably the princess.

She wanted Zhang Shaohan, a talented singer with a recognizable voice, and Liu Yifei, a young girl who could get new songs out of Zhang Chen's pocket.

No matter who it is, it will be a huge advantage in the subsequent PK between the mentor teams.

"Fei Fei, you have to make a decision and distribute your scores to the two people on the stage." Teacher He could also understand the princess's dilemma.

From the previous few rounds of competition, especially from Liu Yifei's scores, it can be seen that everyone, including the judges, favors Liu Yifei and just wants to hear more new songs.

But the singer Zhang Shaohan is different. Both the audience and the princess feel that this fledgling girl should have greater development.

This idea is reflected in the ticket type, which is a crushing victory.

So one can imagine the inner struggle when they had to choose between these two singers.

Time passed quickly. After one minute, the princess and the 99 media judges finished assigning scores, and the staff handed the final result to Teacher He.

"To be honest, this result surprised me, but it also seemed to be expected." Teacher He opened the envelope and took a look. "In the end, the winner of the Princess Team of The Voice of China is..."

Teacher He deliberately dragged out the tone, causing everyone present to feel their hearts in their throats.

The princess, in particular, closed her eyes and dared not look at her two students on the stage with whom she had been working day and night for two months.

On the stage, Liu Yifei and Zhang Shaohan held hands tightly, both with their lips pursed, waiting for the final decision.

"Liu Yifei!"

"Wow!"

"real or fake?"

When the result was announced, everyone at the scene was shocked.

Although they were optimistic about Liu Yifei, they never thought that Liu Yifei could win the championship.

Because no matter in terms of vocal conditions or the difficulty of the song, Zhang Shaohan is better. This is the conclusion reached by most judges based on the votes and private communications after several rounds of competition.

As for why there is such a result
"I gave all 9 votes to Yifei because I thought everyone would vote for Zhang Shaohan. I didn't just want Yifei to lose too badly."

The man next to Zhang Chen explained why this result occurred.

"Do you really think Zhang Shaohan should win?"

"It's hard to say, but I think Zhang Shaohan shouldn't lose."

This guy was very conflicted, and this was probably the same feeling shared by everyone at the scene.

It’s not that they favor Liu Yifei, but they really want to hear Liu Yifei sing her new song.

Many people at the scene are fans of Zhang Chen, and because Liu Yifei was able to really get a new song from Zhang Chen, they were full of anticipation.

They really don't want Liu Yifei to lose.

But to be honest, any discerning person can see that Zhang Shaohan is stronger than Liu Yifei, and they couldn't bear to see such a strong singer being eliminated.

"Then, leave it to me."

Zhang Chen sighed. He said he was just here to take a look, but in the end he still had to show his face.

　If you want to use Fan, you must put her in shackles, and then arrange some important resources to support her.
