Chapter 223: Contract termination turmoil, who will Ji Qinglian end up with (6K subscriptions requested)

Ji Qinglian walked into one of the private rooms in the teahouse. Zhang Ziqiang was already waiting there with a serious look on his face.

A younger person would probably be scared to see him like this. Zhang Ziqiang has a fierce look when he becomes serious.

But Ji Qinglian had worked with him for a long time and had long been used to it. She sat down calmly and poured herself a cup of tea first.

Zhang Ziqiang said: "I remember you like jasmine tea, so I ordered a pot for you."

Ji Qinglian said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, that was my taste three years ago, but now I have switched to Pu'er."

Zhang Ziqiang was silent for a moment and said, "Then I'll give you Pu'er."

Ji Qinglian shook her head: "The tea has been poured. There is no point in changing it now. Let's just drink it."

Zhang Ziqiang's heart sank, feeling that Ji Qinglian was hinting at something.

Since Ji Qinglian appeared in the finals of "My Name Is a Singer" and became a guest singer for her former teammate Xi Mengze, her reporting situation has become much better.

Some publishers contacted her directly instead of him, so Zhang Ziqiang sometimes didn't know what notices Ji Qinglian was running.

Of course, he didn't dare to make an announcement for her easily, especially if he didn't know it.

After three months of stumbling, January finally came, and it was time to talk about renewing the contract.

According to his previous approach, he would not be so gentle to artists, and it would be even less possible for him to tolerate artists receiving announcements in private.

But first of all, Ji Qinglian was not an ordinary artist, and secondly, she was the one with the highest status in his hands. Zhang Ziqiang didn't want to have a conflict with her, so he just put up with it.

But this time when the contract was renegotiated, Zhang Ziqiang thought that the rules must be established in advance, otherwise it will not be conducive to subsequent planning.

Seeing that Zhang Ziqiang didn't take the initiative to mention it, Ji Qinglian said: "Brother Qiang, I don't know why you called me here this time. I have an announcement in an hour. I can't stay here for too long."

Zhang Ziqiang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "I called you here this time because I want to talk to you about contract renewal."

Ji Qinglian said decisively: "If you want me to renew my LP contract, then there's no need to talk, I won't sign it!"

Zhang Ziqiang smiled: "No, you don't need to renew the LP. I also plan to break away from the LP. Now that the LP is empty, I believe no rational person will choose to stay."

The reason why they didn't leave early was because they were afraid that the LP would get angry and file a lawsuit with them, saying that they would breach the contract in advance and pay sky-high liquidated damages.

In fact, those celebrities who announced the termination of their contracts online are already in litigation with their LPs. Affected by the lawsuits, their announcements have been weakened to varying degrees.

Maybe the impact of first-tier stars will be smaller, but it will be very difficult for second- and third-tier stars.

After all, there are so many second- and third-tier celebrities. Why does the notifying party have to find artists who will file lawsuits with LPs? The signed contracts have to modify a lot of clauses, which is troublesome!

Zhang Ziqiang paused and said: "After terminating the contract with LP, I plan to set up my own studio and sign a group of artists to lead it. Qinglian, you have cooperated with me for so long and know my ability to do things. I invite you to join My studio.”

Ji Qinglian was a little surprised: "I thought you would choose to change jobs and join other companies. After all, with your rank, you can easily serve as a middle-level person in some second-tier entertainment companies."

Zhang Ziqiang did not deny it, only said: "But I once became a middle-level manager in a first-tier company's LP, and jumped to a second-tier company as a middle-level manager. This is a step backward for me.

But because of LP's corporate style, other front-line companies were reluctant to hire me for fear of too fierce internal competition. ”

Ji Qinglian couldn't help but nodded and said softly: "Now LP itself can't protect itself. Artists trained by LP are suspected of having stains. I don't know how long it will take to clean them up. When I was looking for a company, because I had worked for LP, I suffered a lot.”

The smile on Zhang Ziqiang's face froze, "Looking for a company?"

Ji Qinglian said matter-of-factly: "Brother Qiang, as an agent you can open a studio, and as a first-line star I can open a studio, but do you know why I don't?"

Without waiting for Zhang Ziqiang's reply, Ji Qinglian continued: "I don't think my connections and qualifications support me to open a studio. My position in the entertainment industry is that of a senior part-time worker. When I changed from a part-time job to a partner, I would dare to go there." Open a studio.

If you decide to open a studio, I strongly support you to start a business. You have more connections and qualifications than I do, and you are well versed in the rules of the entertainment industry. But for me, I still want to find a big company to rely on. ”

The smile on Zhang Ziqiang's face disappeared.

"Qinglian, you have been at LP for so long and have been squeezed so much by LP. Do you still feel that it is comfortable to be in a first-tier company?

Because you are not trained by them, you basically have no access to very core business announcements. They will only give you some similar ones to participate in. You have to continue to endure for five years, and when the next five years come, you can get a good job. contract. ”

He said sincerely and realistically: "How many more five years can you have? After a female star reaches the age of 30, it is equivalent to going downhill. In her thirties, she can still play the roles of her twenties, but by the time she is forty, she will definitely Can't act.

Even if you take the variety show route, there are so many new people emerging in the entertainment industry every day, and the audience also needs to see fresh faces. Do you think you can become the one who can never be replaced? ”

This time Ji Qinglian was silent.

She looked down at her jasmine tea cup. There was a white jasmine flower at the bottom of the cup, rising and falling with the yellow tea liquid, like a flower that would never fade.

Ji Qinglian saw her own reflection in the tea. It was a vague outline, and her face could not be seen clearly. It seemed to be her, but it could turn into another person.

Ji Qinglian heard herself reply: "I'm not sure, but I want to give it a try."

When Pink Girl disbanded, she did not choose to sign a small company to retire, but joined a large company LP to continue working hard.

Although she was very busy with the announcement and was often unable to help herself in LP, she did not regret it because LP was the best company among the many choices at the time.

Now she is leaving LP and switching jobs to another company to start a new career. Even if it takes another five years, she has no regrets.

Her blood is not yet cold, she is not yet thirty, and the golden period of her life has just begun, so why not choose to fight?

It's not that she doesn't want to open a studio, but that the power she has accumulated is still too small.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Zhang Ziqiang knew that he could not stop her, so he simply stopped and said: "If you need help in the future, just tell me. If the company you want to change jobs has not been decided, I am in another first-tier company." I still have some connections and can recommend it to you.”

If he were an ignorant person, he would have thought that Zhang Ziqiang was very kind to Ji Qinglian.

On the contrary, after failing to win over Ji Qinglian, he was already thinking about how to use this matter to maximize his own interests.

Ji Qinglian is a trump card in his hands, and it is also a trump card in the hands of others. If he wants to set up a studio to promote other artists, he will inevitably compete with Ji Qinglian in the future.

And Zhang Ziqiang thinks that his relationship with Ji Qinglian is average. Ji Qinglian may not help him when the time comes, so he can only find an opportunity to pull her down first.

Just as he was secretly calculating Ji Qinglian's handle, Ji Qinglian suddenly said: "No need, there are several first-line companies contacting me."

Zhang Ziqiang was shocked and asked with a smile on his face: "Who? Chenxi Entertainment? Xinrui Entertainment? Or Tianding? Jiligulu?"

The first two are second-tier companies that have been in the limelight recently. One has Jinli and the other has strong film and television resources.

Of the latter two, one is an established first-tier team with the ace team of March Day, and the other is a new first-tier team that has emerged recently, with a good girl group and many first-tier variety stars.

Ji Qinglian looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile: "Tianding Entertainment has been more diligent in contacting me recently."

Zhang Ziqiang said quickly: "If you join Tianding Entertainment, that would be really good. My studio hopes to have some connections with you!"

Just a "Tianding Entertainment" wiped out all the little Jiujiu in his heart.

He doesn't care about ordinary first-tier companies or second-tier companies, but Tianding Entertainment is a veteran and powerful company. This company's style is very defensive. If other companies dare to do the artists he likes, then they dare to be tough.

Ji Qinglian: "Brother Qiang, what about the termination statement?"

Zhang Ziqiang said without hesitation: "I will contact you tomorrow and we will find a time at noon to send it out together."

Ji Qinglian smiled and said, "Then I would like to thank Brother Qiang first."

Zhang Ziqiang also had a smile on his face, "I wish you a bright future."

After Ji Qinglian walked out, the smile on Zhang Ziqiang's face quickly disappeared. He took out his address book and found the paparazzi account "Zhou Papi".

But after much hesitation, I still exited the address book interface, which was not easy to do!

If Ji Qinglian really wants to join Tianding Entertainment... Zhang Ziqiang hesitated for a moment, not daring to go up against such an established powerhouse.

Ji Qinglian walked out of the tea room and saw a neon light in the distance, and her heart felt particularly open, as if she had broken away from the old bondage of the disease and ushered in a new life.

She took out her cell phone and made a call.

"Brother Guang, I'm at the Anya Teahouse on Qingfeng Road. Would it be convenient for me to come over and have a chat?"

Zhang Guang replied: "Okay, I'll come to pick you up and I'll book a place."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Guang turned to the driver and said: "First turn to Anya Teahouse on Qingfeng Road and pick up someone."

Then he turned to Gu Cheng and said, "I will meet Ji Qinglian later. She is a senior in the industry. Don't lose your etiquette."

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Ji Qinglian?"

He quickly thought of something, "Her contract has been terminated and she wants to join Tianding?"

Zhang Guang: "Well, we contacted me last year to talk. Half of the talk was not in-depth enough. Now that the contract has been terminated, we can communicate with the other half."

Gu Cheng asked: "Tianding is willing to hire LP artists?"

Zhang Guang shook his head: "Unless he is a trainee trained by LP, has a good figure, good appearance, and has not been made public, Tianding will be willing to take over.

Tianding would not accept other first-, second- or third-tier artists, but Ji Qinglian was different. She was not trained locally by LP. ”

Gu Cheng thought of Ji Qinglian's character and suddenly felt that it was normal for her to choose Tianding. The pension company was not suitable for her. She needed a company with a more enterprising spirit.

Among first-tier companies, Tianding currently treats artists better.

Gu Cheng took out his phone and subconsciously opened Jinli's profile picture, wanting to say something to her.

But as soon as I typed a line of words, I felt that I shouldn't say this, so I deleted this line of words and re-entered a new line.

Gu Cheng: [Here? available? 】

Jinli returned quickly, [Here, free]

Gu Cheng: [Come to study] Jinli: [Come! 】

She is very enthusiastic about learning recently! ! !

-

20 minutes later, Zhang Guang picked up Ji Qinglian, and they took a nanny car.

After Ji Qinglian got in the car, she was a little surprised to find that Gu Cheng was also inside.

The two said hello and had a casual conversation. Not long after, they arrived at Gu Cheng's dormitory. He greeted Ji Qinglian and Zhang Guang and got out of the car.

Only Ji Qinglian and Zhang Guang were left in the car, and the two began to talk privately, mainly about the contract.

If Ji Qinglian joins Tianding Entertainment, the company needs to arrange for her to be a guest in an S-level variety show every six months, perhaps as a flying guest or as a permanent guest. In addition, an A+-level TV series will be arranged for her every year, within 2 years. Arrange a movie for her...

The contents of these tasks are very complicated, but both Ji Qinglian and Zhang Guang recorded them carefully.

Zhang Guang didn't know what he thought of, and said: "Have you watched "Leisurely and Slow Life"? If you want to join, I can discuss it with March Day and the others. This will not be included in the announcement given to you by the company."

Ji Qinglian asked: "Isn't this variety show produced by your company, and you still want to ask March Day's opinion?"

Zhang Guang smiled: "I have to ask, although it was recorded by the company, the leader is March Day, and the fans are here for them. If they are not happy recording the show, the fans will not be happy watching it either. .”

Ji Qinglian thought for a while, "Let's wait until the time comes. I don't want to record a variety show yet."

After talking about the resources that the company must give Ji Qinglian, we have to talk about Ji Qinglian's obligations to the company. The most important point is the share ratio.

Zhang Guang doesn't know how much Ji Qinglian gets from LP. This is a very private matter. Unless the celebrity blows it up, LP will not disclose it to the outside world.

He put forward a number based on Ji Qinglian's qualifications, status and influence in the industry, as well as the cohesion of fans who have been active on the screen for many years, the public's favorability, etc.

"Forty-six shares, four for the company and six for you." This was his first round of quotations.

Ji Qinglian couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing that she was silent, Zhang Guang thought that she was dissatisfied with the distribution ratio and explained:

"Based on your qualifications, 40-60% is a bit low, but because you have no basis for cooperation with Tianding and just switched jobs, this is the maximum share ratio I can get for you within my scope of authority."


He changed his words and said, "But even so, it's quite unfair to a veteran first-line player like you who has been saving for a long time, so I won another ladder contract for you."

Ji Qinglian's eyes flashed slightly: "Ladder contract?"

Zhang Guang smiled: "Tianding Entertainment is very willing to cooperate with celebrities. As long as you can bring great benefits to the company, the company does not mind conceding some share ratios.

If your annual income is less than RMB 30 million, you can get a 40-60 split. But if your income exceeds 30 million a year, after that, you will be divided into 30:70 and 70% for the company. ”

Those who are able work harder, and the more they earn, the more they will be divided.

Income, of course, is the money that celebrities can get, and that has already been divided into shares.

But even if Ji Qinglian doesn't need to calculate, she knows that she will definitely earn more than LP Entertainment. After all, she only gets 30% of LP's share, which is the lowest in the industry.

Ji Qinglian was so happy that she spent all her acting skills to stay calm and said, "I need to think about it."

Zhang Guang nodded: "Give me a reply within a week, and I will try my best to get more resources for you."

Ji Qinglian said sincerely: "Thank you, Brother Guang."

Zhang Guang personally sent her back to the apartment.

As soon as she returned to the dormitory, she immediately threw herself on the bed, rolled around excitedly, and then took out her mobile phone.

【Pink Girls Group】

Lotus: [Brothers and sisters, I am amazing. I finally terminated my contract with LP, and the negotiations with the new company went very smoothly. They are actually willing to give me four or six, I am six! ]

NANA: [Look at how happy the child is... he has been really poor these years]

Pearl: [Changing jobs to a new company? If it is a first-line entertainment company, this ratio is somewhat sincere, but not much]

Lotus: [According to the tiered sharing, after the income exceeds 30 million, it will be divided into 37%! ]

Pearl: [Take back the above sentence, this company is not bad]

Tongtong: [Which first-tier company is so generous? ]

Mengmeng: [It’s not Chenxi Entertainment anyway. In order to retain us, it will not engage in tiered sharing, it will be 30-70]

Carp: [I guess it’s Tianding? ]

Lotus: [Heavenly Cauldron! ! ! ]

NANA: [Wow, the veteran A-list powerhouse, our Lotus is finally making a comeback! ]

Pearl: [Tianding is indeed very sincere in offering such a share. After all, the resources the company can provide are different]

Lianhua: [@利鱼, I came back from Zhang Guang’s car today. I saw Gu Cheng. He was also in the car, but he kept staring at his phone. Don’t tell me that he has been chatting with you (eating melon)]


Carp:[none]

Jinli denied it quickly.

She glanced at the mobile phone placed aside, and the screen was completely occupied by Gu Cheng's downcast face.

There was really no chatting, just studying together.

……

At noon the next day, Zhang Ziqiang's blog account and Ji Qinglian's blog account jointly posted a message that they had terminated their contract with LP. They also terminated their cooperative relationship with Ji Qinglian/Zhang Ziqiang. Both of them wished each other a prosperous journey.

As soon as this announcement appeared, it shot up to the top 10 of the hot searches, and reached the top of the hot search list half an hour later: #吉青伦 has terminated her contract with LP#.

The second most searched item was: #九青连 terminated the contract with her agent#.

The 10th most searched item is: #吉青伦 regains her freedom#

At the same time, there are many hot searches related to her below, all discussing her whereabouts and the possibility of the pink girl getting back together.

[Congratulations on terminating the contract with LP and finally getting rid of this shabby company. I’m so happy! 】

[I have wanted to criticize LP for a long time. What kind of announcements are arranged for Qinglian? The agency is not helpful, and the agent is not helpful either. They often arrange good announcements to other front-line employees. Fans all see it, but they just don’t say it. That’s all]

[So have you found a new home, or should you set up your own studio? 】

Zhang Ziqiang, taking advantage of the great popularity, has announced on his blog that he will set up a personal studio, and welcomes interested people to come to the studio for interviews.

Some netizens asked him, [Is it possible for Ji Qinglian to join your studio? 】

Zhang Ziqiang replied ambiguously: [Everything is possible, she will always be welcome in my studio]

This makes many netizens believe that Zhang Ziqiang and Ji Qinglian have a good personal relationship, and this is Zhang Ziqiang's purpose.

Since you can't squeeze her out, try to build a good relationship with her.

Ji Qinglian didn't really care about this.

She knew Zhang Ziqiang's character, and if he was really determined to have a good relationship with her, he would definitely reveal some information to her.

For this reason, Ji Qinglian didn't really want to fall out with Zhang Ziqiang, even if she knew that this agent was only interested in profit.

In the entertainment industry, there are ups and downs. Today we are enemies, but tomorrow we can shake hands and make peace under certain interests. There are no real enemies, only common interests.

But soon, Ji Qinglian also replied to fans in the comment area:

[I will not join a studio or set up a studio. I am negotiating with several companies and will announce it as soon as it is finalized]

So the fans, with their motherly hearts in mind, started going to Aite First-line Entertainment Company one by one, asking them to quickly win over Ji Qinglian.

[The cake has fallen in front of you, hurry up and pick it up! @XXX Company】

Not long after Ji Qinglian announced the news of her contract termination, Sui Lingfang called Jinli and asked straight to the point: "Do we have a chance to win over Qinglian?"

Jinli's reply was simple and straightforward: "No chance."

Sui Lingfang asked again without giving up: "Really? In terms of share ratio and contract, Chenxi Entertainment can make big concessions!"

If Ji Qinglian and the pink girl can be combined together, it will give Chenxi Entertainment a great opportunity. This cannot be tolerated if she does not fight for it. Maybe the ladder to the first-tier company is here.

Jinli: "It's impossible, Sister Fang."

Her voice was very calm, "Lotus has different requirements from us. She is very motivated, otherwise she would not have chosen LP in the first place. She also accepted their extremely demanding contract in the industry. Chenxi Entertainment cannot afford to give her high-quality resources."


Sui Lingfang: "But when she reaches her status, the role the company can play is very small. Good announcements come to her on her own initiative."

For example, Jinli and Xi Mengze came to find them on their own initiative.

Jinli smiled softly: "Sister Fang, it's because Mengmeng and I don't have much ambition, so we can wait for others to come looking for us. But with Lianhua's temper, if she waits for someone to come looking for her like us, then what will she do? Why don’t you join the company and open your own studio?”

Sui Lingfang was speechless, and that was exactly what she said.

She asked: "Do you know what company she is interested in?"

Jinli said: "Whether you know it or not, it has nothing to do with us."

Sui Lingfang has completely given up on this idea.

She knew Jinli's temperament, and if it was a company comparable to Chenxi Entertainment, Jinli would still speak out.

If we don't reveal a word now, it means that Chenxi Entertainment is not qualified to stand at the negotiation table with that company.

Sui Lingfang hung up the phone and sighed heavily: "The company's hard power..."

same moment.

Gong Jiajia poked He Yixuan and chatted with her privately to discuss who Ji Qinglian's daughter would be.

Gong Jiajia said with great excitement: "I hope to come to Chenxi Entertainment. If I can see all the pink girls in my lifetime, I will be so happy!"

He Yixuan had just finished filming and was resting. When she heard the voice and news from Gong Jiajia, she was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked solemn.

She doesn't have as good a mentality as Gong Jiajia.

If Ji Qinglian joins Chenxi Entertainment, the competition for resources will only become more intense, although it may bring more middle and lower-level resources.

But if these second-tier stars want to climb up, they need high-quality resources from the middle and upper levels, or even from the upper levels.
