Chapter 527
Chen Lin's expression changed slightly, and he immediately "shushed" the sound.
"Don't speak, the president called!"
Yan Xingdong's face changed, and he quickly instructed: "Since the president called personally, don't put on airs, hurry up and agree to his request."
Chen Lin let it go in one ear and out the other.
The captain didn't dare to put on airs in front of the president, but he wasn't the captain, so he had to talk to the president in accordance with his own persona.
"Hello, President." Chen Lin answered the phone and took the initiative to greet him.
The president exchanged pleasantries with him and asked straight to the point: "Xiao Lin, why do you insist on finding Old Guan to be your manager?
Old Guan is old and is going to retire this year. The company talked to him, but he is unwilling to accept rehiring and wants to return to his hometown to retire."
Chen Lin was silent for a while and sighed: "President, the reason I look for Old Guan is that I feel he has experience and can help me deal with many problems on the channel.
This kind of veteran manager may not be very enterprising, but he is absolutely stable and makes no mistakes.
I feel that my popularity is high enough. Once the team is split, what I need to do is to keep my popularity from falling, and the new manager will not plan for me randomly.
As long as I can maintain my existing popularity, even if it doesn't grow, I am still a top-tier star in the entertainment industry."
Chen Lin thought of something and said again: "Isn't there a saying: it's easy to conquer the world, but hard to defend it. I'm just planning for my future."
The president was stunned.
His impression of Chen Lin was that he was the youngest member of San Yue Tian, still immature.
He didn't expect him to say such an insight.
The president thought for a while and said: "Your concerns are reasonable, but Old Guan is going to retire, and he is unwilling to bring newcomers anymore."
Originally, he had arranged an enterprising manager for Chen Lin.
This manager is very ambitious, also brings a boy band, is the second most profitable boy band in Tianding Entertainment, and has experience in planning for male actors.
But now that he heard Chen Lin say this, he immediately gave up on this manager and turned to think of another one.
"How about this, how about I arrange Old Jin for you? He will retire in three years. He acts very steadily. With his help, your popularity will definitely not fall.
And Old Jin also has some face in the company. As long as it's something you don't want to do, under Old Jin's protection, you don't have to participate."
Chen Lin was a bit surprised: "Are you talking about Old Man Jin Weiguo? Is he willing to take me on?"
The president said in a deep voice: "I will convince him to bring you."
Chen Lin immediately said: "Okay! As long as Old Man Jin is willing to bring me, I have no problem."
After hanging up the phone.
Yan Xingdong spoke first: "The president even brought out Old Man Jin. This kind of veteran-level old employee has a heavy weight in the company.
If you don't want to be tossed by those sons of the board, under his hands, even the board has to give him some face."
Chen Lin sighed again.
"Why is the president's sincerity so full? I won't sign the contract in the end. I feel like I missed hundreds of millions."
Luo Yi thought for a while and said: "He's anxious. If we don't sign the contract, he's worried that we'll be poached."
Yan Xingdong nodded: "Yes, our contract expires in June, and it's mid-March now. If the renewal contract isn't settled, other companies will react."
Gu Cheng put down the pen in his hand and said: "Conventionally, our contract should be settled in January or February.
But because the director's son intervened, the company was in turmoil and couldn't take care of us, which gave us a few more months of stalemate.
However, if it continues to drag on, the company will react in April or May."
Chen Lin asked: "Aren't you brushing up on questions? Can you still hear us talking?"
Gu Cheng smiled slightly: "It's normal to do two things at once."
Chen Lin "tsked" and said: "I don't like dealing with you smart people; it makes you look too perverted."
Luo Yi added: "The implication is that it makes him look too stupid."
Except for Chen Lin, everyone else couldn't help but laugh.
After settling the last manager for Chen Lin, Tianding Entertainment quickly pushed forward San Yue Tian's contract.
It only took two days to finalize the details, and then came the most critical negotiation on the profit-sharing ratio.
Originally, Tianding Entertainment planned to break them one by one and negotiate with the four members separately.
But at this time, San Yue Tian appeared very united and requested to negotiate together.
On the issue of interests, differences appeared again between the artists and the company, and it reached a stalemate.
The president soon heard from the assistant the request made by the 4 members of San Yue Tian, wanting the company to increase their profit-sharing ratio by 80%.
What he didn't know was that this 80% was also the result San Yue Tian was most satisfied with.
If Tianding Entertainment was really willing to give them such profit-sharing concessions, then it wouldn't be impossible for them not to jump ship in the end and stay in the company.
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the company can still hold on for the next 5 years.
It's also fine to jump ship when it really can't hold on anymore.
An 80% concession is enough for them to make many pots of gold.
The president's face sank instantly, and he scolded angrily: "How dare they propose such conditions? Does he think Tianding is doing charity?"
The assistant said in a low voice: "They all used Seeing Jin Li and Chenxi Entertainment as examples, saying that if the company is willing to treat them like this, they will also be like Seeing Jin Li, not only working hard to make money for the company but also pulling people for the company."
The president was angered into laughter.
"If it weren't for Seeing Jin Li, Chenxi Entertainment would still be lying at a third-rate company. How can it compare with Tianding?
If the company is willing to sign such a profit-sharing ratio with them, can they help the company dig up the Pink Girls? If they can, I am willing to sign."
The assistant didn't reply, knowing the president was speaking in anger.
With Chenxi Entertainment's treasure-like attitude towards Seeing Jin Li, if Tianding Entertainment really dared to poach people, Chenxi would dare to increase the profit-sharing ratio to 90%.
That would really be doing charity!
Seeing Jin Li's importance to Chenxi Entertainment is self-evident. Compared with San Yue Tian's status in Tianding Entertainment, the two are not at the same level.
If there were no Seeing Jin Li, the hearts gathered by Chenxi Entertainment would have to scatter.
The president said with a dark face: "The profit-sharing ratio can be conceded up to 65% at most, no higher. This is our bottom line. You let the team continue to negotiate with them and settle it as soon as possible!
Next month, I want to see San Yue Tian successfully renew the contract and release the news!"
Assistant replied: "Okay, President."
San Yue Tian didn't know Tianding Entertainment's bottom line and was still stuck on "80%."
On Seeing Jin Li's side.
After she moved from the central apartment to the large flat in the second ring, she entered a state of seclusion.
The large flat is 300 square meters, one household per elevator, with an independent home theater, gym, study, and balcony, with a total of four rooms.
A nutritionist, a fitness trainer, a nanny, plus Seeing Jin Li, is just enough to live in.
But Seeing Jin Li lived for a few days and found that these three people didn't live here, but arranged other residences, just coming to her place to clock in for work every day.
The nutritionist not only scientifically matches meals but also has good cooking skills, and also covers Seeing Jin Li's review arrangements.
What time to study, what time to rest, what time to exercise, all covered.
In addition, Chenxi Entertainment also arranged two gold-medal teachers for Seeing Jin Li, one responsible for math, physics, chemistry, and biology, and one responsible for Chinese and English (arts and sciences division system).
These two teachers are graduates of key universities and often deal with artists, having served many artists in the circle.
When they came to teach Seeing Jin Li, they all thought Seeing Jin Li was participating in the art exam.
After Chenxi Entertainment signed a contract with them, they discovered it was the college entrance exam.
But they still thought the company made a mistake.
Until they came to Seeing Jin Li's place and confirmed it again and again, they discovered that she wanted to participate in the college entrance exam, and these two teachers admired her in turn.
The teachers didn't dawdle and went straight to the topic on the first day.
Seeing Jin Li was taken by them to review hand-in-hand and entered the state quickly, but when brushing up on questions, she still insisted on turning on the live stream.
Realizing the promise of "advancing and retreating with fans."
Good sisters, walk together, review together for the college entrance exam, and go to university together!
It was also at this time that Fanghua received Chenxi Entertainment's reply.
——Seeing Jin Li won't take Fanghua's endorsement, but can continue to take Fanghua's joint collaboration.
Inside Fanghua company.
Fanghua held a small meeting again to discuss whether to collaborate with Seeing Jin Li, and if so, what clothing to collaborate on.
Just a month ago, they also held a small meeting.
But that small meeting discussed whether to invite Seeing Jin Li to become the company's spokesperson and deepen cooperation.
At that time, they had thought about whether the Fang Fei Group headquarters would intervene to block it.
But the benefits brought to the Fanghua subsidiary by the "Spring Flower" joint collaboration were too great!
They really wanted to join hands with Seeing Jin Li to create another brilliance.
So without communicating with the group in advance, they sent an invitation to Seeing Jin Li first.
Fanghua's strategy was that if Seeing Jin Li agreed, they would then report and negotiate with the group.
In the quiet conference room.
The marketing department head spoke first: "After the spring clothing collaborated with Seeing Jin Li, the empowerment brought to the brand was great, and it was long-lasting, exceeding the durability brought by normal joint collaborations."
"My suggestion is to continue to cooperate with Seeing Jin Li. Even if she can't be a spokesperson, the joint collaboration line cannot be abandoned. While the artist still wants to launch joint collaboration activities with us, then promote it vigorously."
As soon as these words came out, the public relations department head denied it: "No, joint collaborations have limitations. Once Seeing Jin Li's reputation has a mistake, it will lead to the joint collaboration being boycotted."
"And joint collaborations are all about the company making concessions, and the cost is no less than endorsements. It's better to invite Seeing Jin Li to endorse directly. If the endorsement can't be invited, my suggestion is to cut ties with Seeing Jin Li."
The public relations department head relaxed his tone and said: "Now that the brand's reputation has been sounded, we don't have to cooperate with Seeing Jin Li and can launch joint collaborations with other stars.
But if we get too involved with Seeing Jin Li, Duomi might be our warning.
Look, Seeing Jin Li doesn't film advertisements for their new products. Even if they are labeled 'Koi Series,' the sales volume is very average.
Seeing Jin Li is a sharp weapon to drive product sales growth, but she is also a brand poison. Once the brand doesn't cooperate with her, the sales volume will become worse."
The marketing department head doesn't think so.
He questioned: "Doesn't this prove how big the traffic behind Seeing Jin Li is? Her fans are very willing to buy the products she promotes, whether it's endorsements or joint collaborations."
"No." The public relations department head shook his head, "Actually, the point I want to make is not these. The public relations crisis we monitored is that Seeing Jin Li will participate in the college entrance exam in June, which may be an outbreak point for public opinion.
If Seeing Jin Li's grades are very poor, if one is not handled well, she is very likely to lose her reputation and fall from the first line."
"If we are to launch a joint collaboration with Seeing Jin Li, according to the progress of the previous joint collaboration, we will bear the brunt of this crisis."
The public relations department head said: "From the perspective of public opinion risk, I don't suggest launching joint collaboration promotion with Seeing Jin Li at this time."
Others looked at each other, also a bit worried.
After all, it would be fine if Seeing Jin Li didn't participate in the college entrance exam.
But then again, if it weren't for the fact that she has insisted on live-streaming to brush up on questions every day for the past two years, sprinting with the college entrance exam as the goal, her reputation among the public wouldn't have become so good.
Finally, Fanghua's CEO spoke: "The cooperation will come to an end for the time being. I have to ask the headquarters for instructions. Let's rest for half an hour and continue the meeting later."
After Fanghua's CEO went out, he didn't stay idle and called the Fang Fei headquarters, wanting to probe the advertising and marketing department.
Fanghua's CEO specifically probed: "The 【Spring Flower】 spring clothing joint collaboration launched with Seeing Jin Li sold out. We plan to continue to launch joint collaborations with her, and reach cooperation for clothing in all four seasons. What do you think?"
"All four seasons?" The person who answered was an old employee of the advertising and marketing department.
Although he didn't have a high position, working at headquarters, the news was much better informed than other subsidiaries.
Fanghua's CEO said: "Yes, actually we also wanted to invite Seeing Jin Li to endorse, but she refused us."
The old employee smiled, "Seeing Jin Li already has Fang Fei's endorsement, why would she agree to a subsidiary's endorsement? Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"
He thought for a while and said again: "Don't move so fast, otherwise you will have to breach the contract after signing with Seeing Jin Li. Fang Fei has other arrangements for her."
Fanghua's CEO's expression flickered, "What arrangements? Can you reveal a bit?"
Old employee: "Fang Fei has ideas for summer clothing promotion."
He only revealed this sentence and didn't say whether Fang Fei was going to invite Seeing Jin Li to take photos for promotion, but combined with the previous words, Fang Fei probably had this intention, but it was still under internal discussion.
Fanghua's CEO originally wanted to say, aren't you worried that Seeing Jin Li has public opinion risks?
But the words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.
That is headquarters!
The discussion and evaluation of headquarters are more comprehensive than subsidiaries. Knowing that there is a public opinion crisis, they still want to cooperate with Seeing Jin Li, so there must be other ideas.
Fanghua's CEO's brain flashed, and his body vibrated.
Could it be that Fang Fei feels Seeing Jin Li's college entrance exam results this time will be very outstanding?!
If she can really get a good grade, then the huge crisis will turn into a huge advantage. Seeing Jin Li's status in the circle will be more stable, and she can also reap higher praise and greater national popularity.
"No, we have to follow up too. The head office eats meat, the subsidiary always has to drink some soup, right?" Fanghua's CEO muttered to himself.
Half an hour later, the meeting proceeded again.
And this time, the president said very simply: "Launch joint collaboration promotion for winter clothing with Seeing Jin Li. There is still a lot of time. We will polish the product quality slowly and take the attitude of making explosive products to treat this joint collaboration!"
Others looked at each other, not knowing why the president suddenly changed his attitude.
The public relations department head still wanted to say something, but the president's attitude was very firm and did not allow others to raise questions.
If there are any problems, contact him privately.
