Chapter 542
A day passed quickly.
March Days' fans have already started fighting among themselves, the wind at Tianding Entertainment has reversed, and even netizens hope that March Days can renew with Tianding.
The uniform praise for Tianding Entertainment on the internet highlights the strength of this company.
Being able to reverse the wind in one fell swoop by relying on internet water armies and various actions is the powerful part.
However, no matter how the outside feedback is, only the deputy head of Tianding Entertainment's public relations department still feels very empty inside.
Not for anything else.
Since they released the news, they have not been able to contact March Days and Zhang Guang.
The outside wind is improving, but the actual core demands have never been broken through.
And because yesterday's PR was too loud, the CEO could not bear the pressure of the board's accountability, and the board asked him directly.
The board asked three questions: Are you negotiating with March Days? Can the renewal be successful? How will you treat March Days in the future?
Summarizing these three questions, it is actually just one question—
Can March Days successfully renew their contract with Tianding Entertainment!
As long as they renew, all problems are not problems.
But the biggest problem here is that he is only responsible for public relations to reverse the company's reputation. Negotiating contracts with March Days is not the public relations department's business, but the legal department's!
So the deputy head immediately threw the pressure to the legal department.
Inside Tianding Entertainment.
With March Days' fans making a big fuss these days, Tianding Entertainment's artists also have a feeling that a storm is coming.
Others don't know what they are thinking, at least He Yixuan feels that the company is likely to be in trouble.
She stayed at Chenxi Entertainment before and didn't have such chaos.
Since jumping to Tianding Entertainment, the company's scale has become larger, but the competition has also increased.
She originally thought that various systems would be more perfect, and in fact, they were quite perfect, but all of this was broken a few months ago.
Since Tianding Entertainment introduced many young people to hold important positions in the company, the company has become chaotic bit by bit.
When He Yixuan participated in variety shows, she heard second-tier artists of Tianding Entertainment complain more than once:
"I don't know how the company arranges announcements. It was clearly arranged for me to be on a top-tier variety show, but the day before it was about to air, I was notified of a temporary change of personnel, replaced by a top-tier artist in the company, which made me unable to even vent my anger!"
He Yixuan knows that it is very difficult for second-tier artists to get top-tier announcements, all relying on their own efforts to fight for them.
If a second-tier artist is not favored by the company and cannot obtain top-tier resources, they can exchange them through points.
You can only exchange once every two years, and the required points are 10 million. The 5 million here refers to the announcement fee obtained after the artist and the company split the revenue.
In other companies, it is completely impossible to have this opportunity.
Even if there is, you have to pay a huge price, far from being easily exchanged through so-called points.
Because Tianding Entertainment is one of the top big companies in the circle with abundant resources, it gave second-tier artists this benefit.
The reason why this second-tier artist complained everywhere is that this announcement was exchanged through her points.
"If this was an announcement actively given to me by the company, then if they take it back, they take it back. I don't care if they want to arrange it for other artists, even if it's for a third-tier artist.
But this was clearly exchanged by me using points. Why replace it for other artists? If point exchange doesn't count, then why did the company set such a condition?"
Other artists heard this and complained one after another.
"I also exchanged for a top-tier announcement through points last month, but it wasn't participating in a variety show, but showing my face on the middle page of a top-tier magazine.
I had already gone to shoot, shot for two days, and could finish all the photos on the third day, but the company suddenly notified me temporarily that I didn't need to go, saying the announcement was wrong and this announcement was originally arranged for another top-tier star."
Once someone started complaining, everyone discovered that what happened to them was not an isolated case.
"I was stunned at the time and thought I had offended someone, so I specifically went to ask the manager, but my manager was also confused and didn't understand what was going on.
For this reason, I also checked which top-tier artist the company arranged it for. I didn't know until I checked, and I was shocked. This artist became popular five years ago.
But in the second year after becoming popular, she disappeared, almost as if she didn't exist. This star's popularity and heat are much lower than mine now, so why replace it for her?"
Other artists worried: "I don't think these are the points. They are top-tier artists after all and can be on top-tier announcements.
The point is that those announcements were clearly exchanged by you using points, so why give them to others? Did the company decide to abolish the point exchange system?"
"Sigh, you guys getting your announcements snatched is common in the circle.
After all, some magazine photos have been shot, but they don't have to use your photos. Some variety shows have been recorded, but even if they air, they can cut you out. Some TV dramas have been shot, and they can still find people to reshoot and change roles afterwards.
But can you imagine that even the makeup artist who specifically cooperates with you will be snatched away by those top-tier stars! I'm speechless. The company doesn't come out to manage it. That makeup artist wasn't hired by the company; I hired him myself!"
Another artist came out to complain.
She specifically hired a makeup artist to design makeup for her face shape.
Because the makeup fits her temperament very well, every time she goes out to run announcements, the pictures taken by netizens are very beautiful, and many people praise her as a "divine face."
You must know that in today's information-exploding society, how difficult it is for an artist to break out through looks. You must accurately grasp your own style positioning to be able to break out a little bit.
This artist finally broke out a bloody path in looks, and seeing that her career could go to the next level, the result was that even the makeup artist was ruined by a top-tier artist in the company!
"The makeup artist told me that as an artist of Tianding Entertainment, I can only accept the makeup artist uniformly arranged by the company and cannot privately sign agreements with other makeup artists, which would violate the contract with the company.
Unless the makeup artist is willing to accept Tianding Entertainment's employment and become a member of the team specifically for the company's artists, but that makeup artist only accepted my private employment before and just didn't want to sign this contract.
Once signed, he cannot specify which artist to do makeup for and needs to accept the company's dispatch. This makeup artist fits my style very well, and I hope to continue cooperating with him!
As a result, the company came to the door and said he must sign a contract and then do makeup specifically for a certain top-tier artist. He refused, so he ran away!"
He Yixuan listened to their complaints in the dressing room, and her heart became heavier and heavier.
She hadn't experienced the problems they encountered.
But this didn't mean she was lucky, but that she hadn't stood firm in Tianding Entertainment at all.
Those artists who complained were all second-tier cutting-edge artists of Tianding, and their popularity and heat could approach the bottom of the first tier, but their resources were snatched away by the first tier in the company one after another.
"The company is becoming more and more chaotic. If all our announcement resources are snatched away by the top-tier above us, where do we have a chance to get ahead?"
"Exactly, it's useless to give feedback to the manager now. The manager says they don't know who to reason with either!"
"What is the company doing? If they only need the first tier, why sign us second-tier?"
Unfair resource allocation is the artists' resentment.
Suddenly, in the dead silence, an artist asked:
"Is it useful to please those high-level executives? I saw several top-tier artists with little fame hanging out with high-level executives, eating and dining together. Could their announcements be obtained through this method?"
"This..." some artists said hesitantly: "I remember the company didn't allow such an atmosphere before."
Other artists snorted coldly: "It wasn't allowed before, but it's not necessarily the case now."
Everyone gradually fell silent again.
Only He Yixuan saw through the corner of her eyes that these artists were all lowering their heads and typing, not knowing what they were arranging.
He Yixuan grabbed her mobile phone tightly.
She also wanted to send some messages, but didn't know who to talk to or what to say.
Compared to these second-tier artists with greater fame, she was just a small fry who participated in second- and third-tier variety shows everywhere.
She had no competition pressure.
After all, no artist would look at her announcements.
"If I were still at Chenxi Entertainment, would I..."
Suddenly, a thought flashed through He Yixuan's mind, but it was suppressed by her.
No if.
No if!!
"The people sent by Tianding Entertainment are all waiting outside the villa. What are your thoughts now?"
Inside the villa, Zhang Guang sat on the sofa and opened a bottle of fat house happy water for himself.
Sufficient sugar and crisp bubbles can refresh the mind.
The four people opposite him were wearing their own casual clothes, one more relaxed and leisurely than the other. Chen Lin was even more excessive, wearing pajamas.
Well, the clothes were also printed with Doraemon!
These four people had no pressure and gathered together to play games online. The villa was prepared with food for half a month in advance, so there was no problem staying at home without going out.
Hearing Zhang Guang's words, Yan Xingdong lazily opened his eyelids and dropped the game console in his hand.
The character he was controlling had already died.
"What thoughts can we have? Didn't He Yan publicly expose that you are opening a company outside and want to poach us to jump ship?"
Zhang Guang raised his eyebrows: "Yes, I originally thought Tianding would give up, but I didn't expect them to react so quickly. Not only are they willing to increase your revenue split ratio, but they also announced to the outside world that they won't let you disband."
He said: "This is not something that a newcomer like He Yan can do. It should be done by the deputy head of the public relations department. I admire him; he has a decisive character, outstanding ability, and a keen grasp of the situation."
"Originally, he should have succeeded the head of the public relations department, but I didn't expect to be snatched away by He Yan's parachute."
Chen Lin suddenly blurted out: "He Yan, this idiot, sent me a message yesterday saying he fought for 6.7% for us, but not long after, I saw the news of 7% on the internet."
Luo Yi: "Yes, I also received this message."
Gu Cheng: "1."
Yan Xingdong looked at Zhang Guang and spread his hands helplessly: "The company can't even unify its voice when doing emergency PR. Under such circumstances, how can we dare to renew our contract with the company?
They say nice things now, but they might go back on their word in a few months. Anyway, the contract has already been signed. If we sue the company, it will only affect our careers."
Before, their idea about Tianding was: a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
But now they don't have this idea anymore.
This camel is afraid it won't be split into two stupid donkeys!
Zhang Guang opened his mobile phone to browse the news and pondered: "But it won't work if we don't contact Tianding. I know the ability of that deputy head of the public relations department. If he can't contact us, he might leak this news."
"After his series of PR, the public opinion on Tianding on the internet has gradually improved, and half of your fans support renewal. If it is exposed at this time that you are not contacting the company, fans will think you are willful instead."
Yan Xingdong suddenly said: "Then let's be willful."
Chen Lin echoed: "Yes, let's be willful. We are not puppets; we don't have to do whatever the fans say."
Zhang Guang asked: "Even if you lose fans?"
Gu Cheng said indifferently: "We have to lose a batch of fans anyway. We are not superstars and can't please everyone."
Not renewing with Tianding, without the company managing them, March Days has the qualification to be willful.
But Zhang Guang still has to continue to take over their announcements and doesn't want them to make the worst decision.
It could have been unnecessary to end up in such a fish-dead-net-broken situation.
Separating decently is better than everything.
Zhang Guang said: "Let's contact the company. If you refuse to sign, then end it properly. There is no need to make it bloody."
Regarding this, the members of March Days didn't care.
They said in unison: "You go!"
Zhang Guang was speechless.
It was originally him who should go; March Days is best not to say anything at this time.
But being named by these four people as a matter of course, he felt a little depressed. He really owes these little brats!
On the internet, the entries related to March Days are still killing it.
In reality, Jin Li came to Chenxi Entertainment quietly and is about to have a dialogue with the person in charge of Yu Lin Ling who has already arrived.
She has no confidence in winning the global women's clothing spokesperson for Yu Lin Ling, but because Sister Fang is very confident, she thought about it and called Gu Cheng before the dialogue to ask him what kind of style the brand Yu Lin Ling is.
Compared to the unrealistic hot searches on the internet, Gu Cheng's voice is very real.
His voice is clear and clean, not disturbed by outside public opinion at all, and there is no trace of fatigue.
Jin Li also heard a trace of leisure from his voice.
A thought popped into her mind: he seems to be living quite happily.
"Yu Lin Ling global women's clothing spokesperson?"
Gu Cheng said: "I heard Brother Guang mention it. The brand internally does want to launch women's clothing, but the determination is not strong."
Jin Li asked: "Determination is not strong?"
Gu Cheng: "Yes, if I remember correctly, Yu Lin Ling actually wanted to launch a women's clothing brand three years ago, but it wasn't launched under the main company, but by establishing a subsidiary brand, just like the relationship between Fang Hua and Fang Fei."
Jin Li: "But I checked the information on Yu Lin Ling before, and its subsidiaries don't seem to involve women's clothing."
"Yes, they had internal disagreements and felt it was better to operate under the main company. They have been discussing it and only decided to put it under the main company at the end of last year."
Jin Li blinked and suddenly asked: "Then do you think they might sign me?"
Gu Cheng pondered: "I don't know."
Jin Li laughed: "I thought you would say that as long as you are on the candidate list, everyone has a chance."
Gu Cheng also laughed: "You can think so, but I think this project is very likely to be aborted. It's not a question of whether there is a chance, but whether women's clothing can come out and which subsidiary it will be placed under are all problems."
"I said, they have disagreements internally about women's clothing. The company hasn't tried to launch women's clothing before, but the response has been very average, so they have been arguing about where to put it."
Jin Li's eyes flashed: "Because the disagreement is too big, do you think they will simply cancel the launch of women's clothing?"
Gu Cheng said decisively: "Yes."
"I don't think they are ready to launch it. I guess the project won't be pushed forward."
Jin Li was puzzled: "Then why are they still looking for a global spokesperson everywhere?"
Gu Cheng smiled: "Luxury brands have so many businesses, and they also need some female stars to do endorsements. Although they are contacting you in the name of a global women's clothing spokesperson, they can also put you in other categories. After all, no contract has been signed."
Before the contract is signed, everything is possible.
Jin Li felt something was wrong while pondering.
"How are you so familiar with Yu Lin Ling's business? As Yu Lin Ling's global spokesperson, can you contact so much news?"
It feels like living in the brand.
Gu Cheng was silent for a while and hesitated: "Didn't I mention it to you..."
"Hmm?"
"My family holds a portion of shares in Yu Lin Ling. Every time the company holds a board meeting, I attend as an observer."
Jin Li:...
