Bright Era of China Entertainment

"According to another suggestion from Xiaoxuan, your artist contract is upgraded to a studio contract, and the corresponding share dividends are directly linked to your studio, and you are equivalent to occupying the shares of the trust company in the name of the studio, but this share It is not included in the equity structure, but a cooperation contract signed unilaterally.”

"The trust company will open a separate contract equity pool. This equity pool is reserved for you. This equity pool will also be expanded in the future to distribute dividends to outstanding talents within the group company."

Everyone was slightly stunned and came to a rough idea of ​​Chu Xuan and Sister Hua's intentions.

For contract equity, you will enjoy dividends within the validity period of the contract.

The contract is based on the studio contract, which means that the annual dividends are distributed to the studio.

If you control the studio alone, then you can enjoy the dividends alone. If there are multiple people, then of course multiple people will share the profits in proportion to the shares of the studio.

This shows one thing. Chu Xuan and Sister Hua are encouraging them to develop freely. It is up to them to decide how the studio develops, whether it is signing artists or recruiting people to join the team.

What to play with?What to develop?
The trust company's dividends are development funds, and the resources issued by the Brilliant Era are development channels.

But the prerequisite for all this is that the studio must be affiliated with Bright Times and maintain a long-term contract with the trust company, so that it can continue to enjoy the dividends from the trust company’s equity pool and the channel resources issued by Bright Times.

"Everyone is the boss." Chen Daoming hit the nail on the head.

"Diversified development." Ren Quan said the essence.

Hearing this, everyone else was stunned.

Everyone is a boss, and they understand this.

Diversified development... everyone is thoughtful.

The studio must rely on trust dividends to maintain development funds to survive, and it must rely on the resources of the Bright Era to open up the market...

Looking at it this way, isn’t their studio a branch of Brilliant Era!

The studio is developing towards film and television, that is, a film and television type studio.

The studio is developing towards artist management, that is, it is an artist management studio.

The studio is developing towards investment, that is, it is an investment studio.

The studio is developing towards variety shows, that is, it is a variety show studio.

The studio is developing towards production, that is, a production studio...

Everyone has different development concepts. Eighteen branches have eighteen development concepts. Isn’t this diversified development?

They suddenly realized and looked at Sister Hua and then at Chu Xuan.

"High, really high!" Chen Daoming lost his composure and gave a thumbs up to Chu Xuan on behalf of everyone.

First of all, the company wants to kick them out to improve the equity structure. How to deal with their affection?

Chu Xuan said: Retain the right to dividends and maintain the relationship between both parties.

Then, you can still receive dividends without shares, regardless of the company's interests?

Chu Xuan said: The original equity was exchanged for contract shares, and studio dividends were used. The studio and Bright Times had a share-sharing clause.

However, what is the development of the studio?
Chu Xuan said: Dividends are development funds, and the resources of the Brilliant Era are development channels.

Finally, how to ensure that the studio can develop?

Chen Daoming believes that everyone present is a person with star power. Even if he has no business talent, his star power alone can support the studio. Regardless of how it develops, it is not difficult to achieve the goal of stable development. Not to mention the resources provided by the Brilliant Era.

Furthermore, those with a little bit of brains will recruit partners or recruit professional managers to sit in the studio. As for the commercial value that the star effect can generate, managers who can operate can also expand it, so that the studio can take advantage of the trend. developed.

To take a step back, what should we do if our development hits a wall?
Don’t trust companies have dividends every year? If you fail this year, come back next year, and if you fail next year, come back the year after that. There are opportunities for trial and error every year. As long as you succeed once, the follow-up will be much simpler.

But when it comes to Chen Daoming, unless you are really unlucky or really stupid, it is really difficult to fail if you are backed by a large group company like Bright Times.

If you want to develop special effects, wouldn't it be enough to recruit people to study in the special effects department of Brilliant Era?It is not difficult to get business by being famous for its special effects in the bright era, and then using the name of cooperating with the bright era, right?
If you want to develop artists, it's easy. The Brilliant Era will provide resources, but are you worried that artists won't be able to develop?

If you want to develop film and television, it is convenient and effective to learn from the film and television production department or crew of Bright Times.

If you just want to develop yourself, it would be even simpler. How to develop in the bright era, just follow this model in your own studio.

No matter how it develops, Bright Times has a share-sharing clause with the studio. Instead of taking the share from the original 18 people, it has changed from taking the share from the [-] studios. This has produced a qualitative change in terms of size.

In addition to sharing, each artist will develop his own resource channels and personal connections, and as long as the studio is still affiliated with Bright Times, Bright Times will also have these resource channels and personal connections.

And with the temptation of the trust company's equity pool, and the equity pool also includes Longyou's dividends, will they be willing to leave the Brilliant Era?
It is obvious that the resource channels and connections developed by the eighteen studios will only make the relationship network of Brilliant Era grow stronger.

From this point of view, Chu Xuan's goodwill is fake, but he is taking advantage of them?
In Chen Daoming's heart, Chu Xuan's kindness is real, and this "use" must be in quotation marks.

According to normal logic, their original investment has already received huge returns from Brilliant Times. Now if they are asked to give up their shares, they just need to pay the money to buy it at the normal price. There is no need to go to such trouble.

But Chu Xuan didn't do this. Just like when he didn't pay a penny, he took 16% of the shares and made more than 1 million in the end. This was a waste of money.

Now Chu Xuan repays a favor by giving them a free hand, giving them more years of dividends after joining Longyou, as well as channels and resources to share the brilliant era, allowing them to transform from semi-capital to real capital, and your own career is entirely up to you.

This decision not only appeased the restless hearts of the founders who were given away their shares, but also successfully improved the ownership structure of the Bright Times Group.

It also gave them the power, funds and resources to develop their careers independently and freely, while also expanding the scale of the group company and creating a diversified development model, which ultimately protected and sublimated the emotional bond between them.

Such a method... No, Chen Daoming doesn't think it is a method. This is called wisdom in dealing with people and having a business acumen.

"Brother Xuan, you are so smart." Liu Jialing sighed.

Equity is a matter of personal interests. Originally, giving up shares was bound to hurt some feelings, but Chu Xuan did this, and finally achieved a win-win situation.

What kind of trust company, what kind of equity pool, what kind of contract shares, what kind of studio is affiliated with Bright Times and has achieved dividend cooperation with the trust...

When she was asked to think about these things, her head would probably explode and she would not be able to think of any connection between them.

Moreover, in the entertainment industry, when artists leave the company to establish a studio, this in itself is detrimental to the company's interests, because while the artist is not under control, there is a high probability that the studio will completely separate from the company once the contract with the company expires. The company's interest relationship caused the company to permanently lose the income generated by the artist and his studio.

However, as Chen Daoming thought, with the temptation of the trust company's equity pool, only a fool would leave Bright Times. As the profits of Weiyu, Longyou and Bright Times themselves rise, their annual dividends will soar. , why don’t you leave if you can make some money?
In this way, no matter how well their studios develop, they will always have to give up part of their profits to Bright Times, which is not just one studio, but eighteen.

However, out of emotional protection, Chu Xuan increased their dividends and allowed them to achieve their goal of career freedom, which made them willing to accept all this.

Such a decision contains Chu Xuan's emotional psychology and rational thinking.

But having said that, without Chu Xuan's emotional psychology and emphasis on the relationship between them, there would not be such a good idea and decision.

"Come on, Xiaoxuan, I respect you." Liu Jialing picked up the wine glass.

Seeing that Li and Fan were also planning to toast, Wang Jinhua said repeatedly: "Wait a minute, the matter is not finished yet."

"You talk while drinking, the food is almost cold." Liu Jialing said, "Wei Ye and I came here from Xiangjiang without even eating lunch."

Wei Ye is Liang Chaowei’s nickname.

After hearing what she said, Chu Xuan raised his glass and said, "Teacher Chen, brothers and sisters, let's have the first drink together."

Seeing Chu Xuan taking the initiative, Wang Jinhua, Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei joined everyone in holding glasses and drinking a glass of wine together.

Chu Xuan's decision can be regarded as a reference to Huawei's equity model, but it has been revised.

Huawei's equity pool is distributed to all employees. This equity model makes people admire the courage of Huawei's boss, but it is not suitable for the bright era.

He needs absolute control, so that there will be no internal obstacles on the road to industrialization of film and television in the Brilliant Era. Without absolute control, some people will jump out to oppose him. After all, industrialization of film and television is a road with no benefits, and it requires Invest money repeatedly and use practice to verify the so-called standards.

If the film and television industry becomes industrialized, will Bright Times follow Huawei's democratic ownership structure route?That is something that will happen in the long run, and we will talk about it then.

But for now, he has divided the equity pool. Huawei is allocating it to employees, and Bright Times is allocating it to studios.

If Li and others can successfully develop the studio into a company, the equity pool will be distributed to their company.

This model of equity pool benchmarking studios or companies is just a variant of a group company’s investment in developing branches.

Compared with the normal situation of investing in a branch, once the branch is not functioning well, the head office may give up the investment.

This variant model can provide a closer connection between the two parties, because no matter whether the branch is running well or not, the head office will release dividends to the branch every year.

Putting aside his feelings, he was confident in doing this because everyone present is a big star. Just relying on the commercial value such as endorsements, announcements, and remuneration brought by the star effect, even if they lose money, they will not lose much. If they develop When they get up, while they earn, Bright Times can also earn more shares.

This is secondary.

The main purpose of his doing this is to industrialize film and television.If the industrialization of film and television in the bright era is successful, how will it be promoted to the market?
Will big capital companies such as Huayi, Guangguang and Chengtian listen to him?Will it be filmed according to his standards?Then isn’t this the younger brother of the Brilliant Era?

This is unrealistic even if you think about it, or it would be very difficult to implement it.

But if Li Zhengyi and others develop and their respective studios or companies have a certain degree of influence, then Brilliant Era will be equivalent to having [-] solid allies in promoting film and television industrialization standards. The influence of this bundle will be unparalleled.

It is unknown whether the film and television industry will be successful, and it is also unknown whether Li Zhengtong and others will be able to develop it, but he must prepare for a rainy day, otherwise there may be a lot of troubles and obstacles in the future.

He felt reassured when he saw that no one present had any negative reactions to his decision, but instead showed some excited support.

The support of these people back then was only due to their trust in him and Sister Hua, which allowed Weiyu to develop so smoothly and achieve the brilliant era today.

And it was because of this trust that he gained a lot of business aura and made his mother-in-law look at him with admiration. His relationship with Liu Yifei also developed smoothly under this attitude of admiration.

Many things are interrelated and have chain reactions.

The support of these people gave him a perfect start for his love and career. Now that the company is conglomerating and has to withdraw their shares, he also wants to give these brothers and sisters a perfect start for their life stage.

This can be regarded as reciprocating love.

"Actually..." Chu Xuan put down his wine glass and prepared to tell the truth.

"Actually." Liu Yifei said over his words, "Teacher Chen, brothers and sisters, Chu Xuan, Sister Hua and I have a common goal, which is to industrialize film and television and create Chinese films that are in line with film and television industrialization."

Everyone looked at Liu Yifei and listened to her next words.

Liu Yifei continued: "Chu Xuan, Sister Hua and I have constructed a preliminary blueprint and have been developing along this path."

She suddenly felt embarrassed, pursed her lips and said, "But I don't have any equity in the company, so it's a bit baffling to just rely on my identity as Chu Xuan's girlfriend to handle the company's affairs."

After everyone heard what she said, they all woke up and understood what was going on.

"So..." Liu Yifei said slowly: "It's because I want to buy shares, so your shares have to be given away."

Sure enough... Everyone, you look at me and I look at you, and we all figured out the origin of today's theme. The protagonist is not Chu Xuan, not Sister Hua, but Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei bit her lower lip and glanced nervously at the audience, worried that her brothers and sisters would be dissatisfied.

It's okay if she's dissatisfied with her, but Chu Xuan and Sister Hua made this decision for her. If it affects everyone's feelings, she will be very sad.

After Chu Xuan was interrupted by Liu Yifei, he kept looking at her.

Originally, for him to say such a thing, everyone present would give him face. After all, his decision received positive feedback from everyone. Based on this situation, Liu Yifei's investment was just a small matter, and it would be over with a few words of explanation from him.

But Liu Yifei is still Liu Yifei, with a strong subjective consciousness and independent thinking. She must do things that concern her by herself. Even if her boyfriend can't help, there is really nothing she can do.

"That's what I'm saying." Xia Yu said with a smile: "On the day we joined the company, Sissi came to see us, and I said it was the boss's wife."

"Yes." Tong Dawei nodded slightly, still remembering that in early 05, from Huayi to Bright Era, they swarmed in the company to sign contracts, while Liu Yifei stood tall and graceful on the outside looking at them, as if she was the boss's wife inspecting.

Xia Yu's words and Tong Dawei's echoes were obviously speaking for Liu Yifei.

Listening to the two talking about the past, Liu Yifei knew that they were supporting her and couldn't help but smile.

"Come on." Li Congcheng picked up the wine glass: "Why are you standing still? Here's to the boss lady."

"No, no, no, I respect you." Liu Yifei picked up the wine glass, stood up, looked around and said, "Teacher Chen, brothers and sisters, this result is caused by my existence. Whether it is good or bad can only be said by you. Whatever happens, if it goes well, we will all be happy and happy, but if it goes bad..."

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll drink three glasses of wine in a row to apologize to you."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Liu Yifei's frankness and sincerity made them feel a purity that was difficult to understand after having been in Vanity Fair for a long time.

Chu Xuan is also sincere, but the way Chu Xuan expresses sincerity is different. He always puts it into action and rarely explains it to you through words. You have to realize it yourself.

And someone like Liu Yifei who expresses her sincerity directly is truly unique in the entertainment industry. Like Zhao Ling'er and Xiao Longnu who dealt with them a few years ago, Liu Yifei has never changed.

Chu Xuan also stood up and picked up the wine glass.

"If Sissi becomes a shareholder, Sister Hua and I will have our shareholdings suppressed, and our siblings will not be able to control the combined shares. There is a risk that loopholes in some past contract documents and ongoing project contract documents will become invalid."

"Secondly, if my equity is suppressed again, or if Qianqian's equity stake is not large, it will become unclear with the scope of power exercised by Huaying Group and Zhang Jizhong and Brother Zhang's fourth and fifth shares. At that time, our charter will It can be used by them even if it is printed, and it can be effective even if they sign it.”

"Although Huaying Group and Brother Zhang are unlikely to interfere in our management, such a shareholding structure has this loophole after all, which is definitely not good."

"So, I gave up the equity of my brothers and sisters, and a small part allowed me and Sister Hua to maintain the highest management rights. The majority of the equity and the diluted equity of other shareholders were added to Sissi to become the third share, and finally perfected the company's The change of high-quality equity structure in groupization is just that.”

After Chu Xuan explained, he raised his glass: "Thank you to my brothers and sisters for their help and support to me and Sissi, so I thought of the best possible plan so that my brothers and sisters would not suffer any loss after giving up the equity. , regardless of whether this plan is good or not, Sissi and I will toast you three glasses first."

After hearing what Chu Xuan said, Liu Yifei just wanted to toast with him.

Unexpectedly, Chen Daoming said calmly: "It is obviously a good solution, and everyone's profits have increased. We should respect you. I will drink these three glasses of wine with you."

When Chen came to speak, everyone present responded one by one.

"Xiaoxuan, Xixi, here's to you..."

Chu Xuan also didn't expect that except for Sister Hua and the mother-in-law, everyone would have three drinks with them. In the end, it was Boss Chen who was upright and upright. He was more direct than Liu Yifei. There was no such thing as "humanity and sophistication" in the dictionary. Character.

After three glasses of wine, those who eat the food eat the food, and those who pour the wine pour the wine.

Fan Zhitong looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei who were sitting on the chairs. She asked with great interest: "Xiaoxuan, if Sissi was replaced by another girl, would you do this for her? In order to transfer the equity, let the eighteen brothers Sister, give way.”

Hearing this, everyone became interested.

Chu Xuan didn't mention anything about Liu Yifei's kindness in the past, so he only talked about today's matter.

In order to let Liu Yifei take over, 18 of them were kicked out.

Not to mention how many men have the ability to put women on top, but how many men are willing to let their women be on an equal footing with them?

What does it mean to sit on an equal footing?

In the past, Liu Yifei relied on Chu Xuan in terms of capital strength and resource channels.

From now on, Liu Yifei will not need anyone's help in terms of resources, no one's protection in terms of public opinion, and she will not need to rely on anyone in terms of career. She will become one of the controllers of the entertainment industry just like Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua.

In other words, Liu Yifei will completely break away from Chu Xuan's shackles.

They knew that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei had a deep-seated love view of mutual achievement, but the fact that they achieved each other to the point where they looked at each other as equals somewhat broke their understanding of emotional development in a situation where a man is strong and a woman is weak.

In their decades of perception, this is the only pair whose relationship has developed like this.

Chu Xuan reached out to pick up the vegetables and shook his head: "I came to this world just to be with her, so I never thought about your question."

"Ouch--" The women Fan Congcheng, Li Congcheng and Liu Jialing were stimulated.

"I'm going to—!" Men like Xia Yu, Tong Dawei, and Ren Quan were caught off guard by this wave of dog food. Even Chen Daoming laughed unconsciously.

Liu Yifei shook her head and leaned on Chu Xuan's shoulder for two seconds to express the sweetness in her heart.

"This Xiaoxuan is really good." Wang Jinhua was also choked by her brother, took a sip of tea and said: "If your words were to be placed in an idol drama, the effect would be explosive."

Liu Xiaoli said: "I don't even watch idol dramas now. It's not as sweet as the two of them in reality. I just watch the live version now."

"Hahaha..." Everyone roared with laughter, Xia Yu, Ren Quan and the others slapped their thighs happily.

And it has to be Liu Xiaoli, they are just eating dog food, this mother-in-law and mother is used to finishing.

Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei lowered their heads to eat their food. They looked at each other, each feeling a little embarrassed.

"Come on, everyone." Liu Xiaoli stood up holding a wine glass: "The cause of what we are talking about today lies with Sissi, and the method lies with Xiaoxuan."

"The first drink is for Xiaoxuan, and the second drink is for Qianqian. So for the third drink at the beginning, I, their parent, will initiate it."

"They are all old acquaintances and good friends, and some are even neighbors. To put it simply, whether Xiaoxuan's decision is good or not depends on reality, but I think I sincerely wish that we will get better and better in the future."

"Okay!" Many people present cheered and applauded Liu Xiaoli several times.

Immediately, everyone drank a glass of wine together.

After the serious talk was over, both parties got what they wanted. They had three rounds of drinking in the opening session, and then they were free to play.

Just like that, a joyful and vigorous banquet among his family came to life. (End of chapter)
