Chapter 78 This is the top class
If the customer is compared to a wall.
Well, PR and marketing are like creepers on the wall.
No matter whether the wall originally looks good, ordinary or ugly, with the decoration or covering of ivy, the wall will become different.
This is the reason why Xu Xiyu told Gong Lingyun why he was named "Ivy". Of course, in addition to being a plant, a creeper can also be an animal climbing up a mountain.
At this time, at almost 12 o'clock in the morning, he had left Gong Lingyun's house and found a hotel nearby to stay.
Just as he was about to wash up, his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw the three characters [Ke Xinying] on the screen, which made him instantly happy.
I haven't sent her my own recording yet.
But there is probably no need to send it now. The phone calls have come in. It can be seen that someone has found her head.
Thinking of this, he slumped down on the bed. Before he could speak, he heard Ke Xinying's indifferent voice: "You are quite capable of tossing."
"It's not bad." Xu Xiyu stretched and said.
"Zhang Yiyuan is spreading the news everywhere that you are mine. Just now Meng Chengming called me to confirm this matter."
"Really?" Xu Xiyu thought about it and then replied.
He suddenly discovered that Zhang Yiyuan was actually a bit smart.
Intuitively speaking, he should not remind those people that his "backer" may be Ke Xinying. After all, the more "prime" he is, the less hesitant everyone will do.
But in many cases, doing things is counter-intuitive.
If he is just a piece of shit with no background, the people involved this time may not necessarily take revenge on him now. But it would be different if his backer was Ke Xinying.
Who is Ke Xinying? She is a shareholder of Huaqing. Her favors are still valuable. As long as these people involved are not stupid, the first reaction now is to pretend to deal with Xu Xiyu.
Then when Ke Xinying intervened, she used Poxia Donkey to sell the favor. The more favors she owes, the more profits she has to find from Xu Xiyu to repay the debt.
In this case, what can Xu Xiyu do?
From Zhang Yiyuan's perspective, only in this way can Xu Xiyu be really hurt. Moreover, he himself might be able to gain a favor from Ke Xinying by the way.
Of course, the above is based on the situation that Ke Xinying will ask for favors.
What if she is unkind?
The people involved are going to take revenge on Xu Xiyu immediately. If they don't take action at this time, wouldn't everyone be afraid when they hear Ke Xinying's name, so if she doesn't come forward, no one will dare to retaliate against Xu Xiyu?
No one would take on this reputation. Ke Xinying did not have this status in the world. If anyone used this as an excuse, she would be laughed to death.
So Zhang Yiyuan is doing a job that is blocked at both ends. It's still quite good, and at least it can guarantee that Xu Xiyu will be fucked by everyone.
However, this can be regarded as a side help to Xu Xiyu. What he wants is to be fucked by everyone together. Otherwise, how could this scene be so good?
Thinking of this, he asked deliberately on the phone: "So, I'm in big trouble now? Can you support me?"
"Yes, but I have conditions." Ke Xinying agreed simply.
"What conditions?" The more straightforward she was, the deeper Xu Xiyu's brows furrowed, because this girl was too low-key.
"In addition to what I told you before, there is one more thing. If you sign with Huaqing, I will find an agent to take you. This will save you the trouble of jumping up and down all day long." Ke Xinying said.
"What's the sign?" Xu Xiyu said and sat up from the bed, finally serving the main course.
"The new couple has a full contract, starting in August 2020, and a five-year contract." Ke Xinying said quickly. A full contract means full signing of film and television contracts, music contracts, performance contracts, commercial contracts, and even live broadcast contracts, etc.
Some signing methods are to sign a single business, and this model is more common for mature artists.
"Shall I take eight?" Xu Xiyu said deliberately.
"You two." Ke Xinying made a pun.
Without waiting for a reply, she continued: "I can guarantee you that for five years, you will shoot three TV series every year, at least the second male lead. They are all big productions with an investment of 200 million to 300 million."
"Don't you Huaqing not make TV series? Fifteen TV series in five years, with an investment of three to four billion?" Xu Xiyu frowned. For a moment, a not-so-good guess appeared in his mind.
"We at Huaqing have so many artists, is it possible that they are all making movies? I even act in TV series."
"That's different. The competition in the industry is so fierce now. If you don't invest in a TV series worth 200 to 300 million yuan yourself, how can you guarantee that you will give me three announcements every year with more than two male leads?"
"You don't have to worry about this. If I dare to sign this contract with you, it proves that I can do it."
"Then how much money can I probably make?" Xu Xiyu continued to ask while thinking.
When Ke Xinying heard this, she began to make an estimate in her mind. With an investment of 3 to 4 billion, Xu Xiyu's salary would probably be around 600 million if done well.
More in the front and less in the back, the average price is about 40 million, which is a top-notch price. Calculated at 82%, the amount in Xu Xiyu’s hands is about 120 million.
After receiving the 120 million, he must be allowed to spend it, such as buying art, finding some Japanese or European masters to do high-priced styling, etc.
Or spend money on marketing or something like that.
All in all, he has to spit out the remuneration he received and return it to where it belongs.
As for business income, Xu Xiyu does not need to spit it out. In principle, whatever he earns after sharing is his own.
But this is in principle.
Don’t forget, you have to pay taxes when you make money.
The tax on a 120 million film remuneration would be about 53 million, so the real remuneration is probably about 67 million. But "vowing money" is not calculated according to this. If you are given 120 million, you will have to spit out 120 million.
In other words, he has to use the money he earns from business to offset the tax on his film remuneration. If his five-year salary can reach 120 million, then his personal share of commercial income must be at least 120 million, that is, the total commercial revenue reaches 600 million to be considered profitable.
The film remuneration is 120 million, and the commercial personal income is 120 million. A total of 240 million base taxes have to be paid. If there are no tricks, it will probably be 106 million.
Then his after-tax income is about 134 million.
Then spit out the 120 million yuan in salary.
Xu Xiyu made a net profit of 14 million in five years.
If the remuneration was not spit out so harshly and some was left for him, maybe 20 million or 25 million. That's right, the total commercial revenue of 600 million, plus the remuneration of 600 million, totals 1.2 billion in the book.
His net income is only in the range of 14 million to 25 million, and the actual share is about 1.16% to 2.08%. It's far less than the 82 Kai in Ke Xinying's mouth.
This is only if his total commercial revenue can equal his salary, if not. It is very likely that he will have to work for five years and be penniless.
Of course, people are not stupid. Those who arrange their remuneration based on commercial value will probably keep the same.
This is how "Top Xu Xiyu" is used in the eyes of Ke Xinying and Hu Ningtian.
Thinking of this, she hinted lightly: "Some things can't be understood clearly now, and the money is made in the commercial contract. Don't care so much about the salary or not.
How about it, are you interested? You will only be 27 years old in five years. With our training, you can be said to be at your peak at that time. It doesn't matter whether you renew the contract with new conditions or start your own business. ”
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiyu instantly understood what she meant.
That is, I don’t want to make any money in these five years. She was letting herself bet that she would still be prosperous in five years, and that she wouldn't have to be beaten like this at that time.
For ordinary people, this condition is actually not unacceptable. With 15 dramas in five years, it's time for the idiots to praise it.
But Xu Xiyu couldn't accept this. So he asked the question he wanted to know most: "What if I don't sign a contract with you?"
"Signing a contract is a two-way choice. Can I still buy and sell by force?" Ke Xinying laughed. What she meant by this was that she wanted to buy and sell by force.
Xu Xiyu could understand, but he didn't know how she could buy and sell by force, so she pointedly said: "That's right, in a society governed by the rule of law, there is no such thing as forced selling."
"Yes, it all depends on the relationship. If the relationship is in place, we will naturally cooperate." Ke Xinying's words also meant something.
"Yes, then I'll think about it."
"Then you have to hurry up, otherwise I won't be able to help you with your current troubles."
"It's okay. At worst, I won't do this anymore, don't you think?"
"That's a pity. You are suitable for this industry. However, I respect your choice and wish you good luck."
"Thank you."
"It should."
After talking to this point, the two hung up the phone, and Xu Xiyu's face instantly turned gloomy.
Sure enough, I could only catch her off guard the first time. She is very difficult to deal with now.
On the other side, Ke Xinying also felt the same way.
She felt that Xu Xiyu was more difficult to deal with than she thought, and Hu Ningtian was such a damn good picker.
Pick a "treasure" as soon as you pick it!
The night passed with the two of them struggling with each other.
Early the next morning, Xu Xiyu and Gong Lingyun rushed to Lu Qinyao's studio.
After entering the studio, Xu Xiyu's first words were: "Brothers and Jimei, let's play a big game today."
