Chapter 54 Negotiations

Xingchen's official blog has been chased and intercepted by Fang Ruolin, Lu Huai, and Zhang Li's fans for six hours.

"You said that Zhang Li was being harassed, why didn't he come out and speak out?"

"Lu Huai sent a lawyer's letter to sue you! What do you call stars? Just call them darkness."

"Fang Ruolin supports Lu Huai, is there a struggle within your company?"

"Everyone, stop shouting. Zhang Li hasn't said anything until now. Let's wait for Brother Li to say whether it's the dark stars or Lu Huai's sophistry. I'll only listen to Brother Li!"

"..."

In Xingchen's meeting room, Li Ai exploded into an electric lion.

"Mr. Wang, Luo Rui didn't cooperate. Fang Ruolin directly violated the artist agreement with the company and spoke out in favor of Lu Huai. And Liu Yunfeng, I asked him to repost the company's statement on Zhang Li's Weibo, but he hasn't moved yet. How should I work? If Xingchen's reputation is damaged, who will bear the responsibility?"

Mr. Wang on the other end of the phone expressed his opinion to everyone in the conference room, "Tell Liu Yunfeng what I said. Before the market opens today, Zhang Li must forward the company's statement."

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Li, who hadn't slept all night, poured three cups of coffee in a row in the cafeteria. Xiao Xiao, who had disappeared all night, finally stood beside him in a furtive gesture for fear of being caught and beaten. He handed over his mobile phone, "Brother Li...that...Brother Yunfeng is looking for you."

Zhang Li didn't look back at him, and reached out to take the phone naturally, "Yunfeng, don't come here without any problems."

It was the first time that Liu Yunfeng on the other end heard this kind of tone, his heart sank immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said with difficulty, "Zhang Li, I can't help it either."

"You made this call to apologize to me? If it's only for this purpose, I'll hang up." Zhang Li said coldly.

"The company asked me to use your Weibo to retweet the company's statement, and take a stand with the company." Liu Yunfeng continued, "I...have been procrastinating for a day, and I can only wait..."

Before Liu Yunfeng finished speaking, he was quickly interrupted by Zhang Li's voice. "Yunfeng, do I look easy to bully?"

"Huh?" Liu Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, and then turned to press, "Zhang Li, as an artist contracted by the company, you are obliged to obey the company's arrangements in times of public relations crisis. There are clear regulations in the contract between the company and the artist."

"Liu, Yun, Feng." Zhang Li paused with his first and last names, "Listen, listen. If you use my Weibo to forward that shit, I will re-register now, I am here , I can post a selfie in 1 minute, I can take a selfie with today’s newspaper, and bring all the IDs of the fan meetings and old fans I remember, and I can also directly broadcast live here to prove my identity, I will say You took my Weibo, restricted me from speaking out, lied to me, kidnapped me. Yunfeng, do we have to get to this point?"

Liu Yunfeng broke into a cold sweat when he heard it, and couldn't help but raise his voice, "Zhang Li! This is a serious breach of contract, and Xingchen will sue you."

"Say it..." Zhang Li sneered, "I'm a bachelor, the worst thing is that I won't be in the entertainment industry. If you are such a big company, if you are interested in filing a lawsuit with me over this stupid matter, I am willing to accompany you."

"Zhang Li, calm down. You are not dealing with problems like this. Although the company's manuscript is not authentic to Lu Huai, it is entirely for your own good. You must fight against the company. It's not good for you at all." Liu Yunfeng sighed, "You and Fang Ruolin are both too emotional, Fang Ruolin just took over, and the contract will expire in several years, if Xingchen doesn't give her a chance from now on, no If you support her, she will soon fall down. Don't you think how good you are, with such a big entertainment industry and so many newcomers who are eyeing you, do you think you can do it on your own?"

Listening to the silence at the other end, Liu Yunfeng thought that Zhang Li had been moved a bit, so he threatened again, "With your contacts and capital, I'm afraid it's too late to hang out alone. If the company sues you for breach of contract, the lawsuit will be delayed." The longer it takes, the longer you will be out of work. For a year or so, fans are not very affectionate creatures. If you still have a shred of reason, you should understand that you and the stars are in the same boat."

Zhang Li, who had been silent for a long time, finally responded, "Thanks to you, my mobile phone has been reimbursed, and now I don't have Mr. Wang's phone at hand. Give me his phone number, and I'll talk to him. Either you or Li Ai , did it count?"

Liu Yunfeng was already talking dry, and finally got a positive response, and immediately replied, "Okay. I will send it to Xiao Xiao's mobile phone immediately. I will not forward it until you have a good talk with Mr. Wang. I will wait for you." echo."

Zhang Li stood in front of the coffee machine holding his mobile phone, and dialed out Liu Yunfeng's message as soon as it came.

"Mr. Wang, hello, I'm Zhang Li."

"Yo~ Xiaoli! You are filming director Zhang's movie!" Mr. Wang smiled heartily and said without hesitation, "You can film with peace of mind, the company will handle your affairs for you It’s a bit negative, don’t worry! Although your contract with the company will expire in a few months, we will still guarantee your workload and exposure.”

To be able to talk about threats and lures so lightly is indeed the CEO of a company who has been involved in both the business and entertainment circles.

Zhang Li smiled faintly, "Mr. Wang, I understand the company's kindness. The company has treated me very well for so many years. I am not an ungrateful person."

"Hehe! Xiaoli, I have always been optimistic about you, you are a smart person." Mr. Wang said.

"However, Mr. Wang, I've always been a little irrational in my personal relationships." Zhang Li spoke slowly, his tone seemed ordinary, as if he was not negotiating, but just chatting, "As you said, the contract between me and Xingchen is still in progress. It expires in a few months. Of course, I can unconditionally cooperate with the company's caliber now, but after the contract expires, maybe I will have a hot head and want to save my feelings. Maybe I will call a press conference to discuss today's actual situation. The situation will be made public. At that time, my contract with your company will expire. How can I say that it is my /free/freedom, and I will no longer be restricted by you. I think, even if the company stops all my activities now, with the number of my fans , I can still maintain the enthusiasm for several months, and it is unlikely that no media will listen to me after a few months. Moreover, reporting on my feud with Xingchen Company is big news after all."

Mr. Wang, who was always smiling, still said with a smile, "Zhang Li, the artist who can threaten me hasn't been born yet."

"No, no, you misunderstood, I'm not threatening you." Zhang Li also smiled, and continued very gently, "I'm discussing the best solution with you. Before discussing the solution, I have to tell you the worst result. You, the so-called villain before the gentleman. Although you and I have not met much, I have always admired you, so how could I threaten you. "

Mr. Wang coughed, "Tell me as soon as possible, I still have something to do."

"Mr. Wang, the company has always expressed that it wants to renew the contract with me, but I have not decided. To be honest, there are several big companies that contact me, and I also plan to open a studio. But I can give you a clear answer now, I You can also sign a five-year contract with Xingchen. As long as the company can take a step back this time."

"You said."

"Withdraw the statement, and at the same time, Li Ai will no longer be the director of public relations." Zhang Li curled his lips, "Xingchen Company must know how to shift the responsibility to the temporary workers."

"Zhang Li, your condition is a little too big. Li Ai is a rare public relations expert, and he has always been our very capable employee." Mr. Wang said slowly.

Zhang Li didn't speak, just waited silently.

"In ten years, the company's share will increase by [-]%." Mr. Wang continued.

Zhang Li said, how dare he speak, but he didn't delay for a second, and said with a smile, "Deal. Happy cooperation, Mr. Wang."

"Zhang Li, hahahahahaha," Mr. Wang let out another burst of kind and hearty smiles, but it was more meaningful. "Come back to Beijing and meet me for a drink. We should communicate more."

"No problem. Thank you, Mr. Wang."

After the phone call ended, Zhang Li breathed a sigh of relief. The contract with Xingchen back then was a rookie contract, and the cost sharing between the company and the artist was already exploitative. Now that he is in full swing, he should have a strong bargaining room, but he still gave in. [-]% tied the golden period of the entire career to the stars.

Any popular artist would find this decision incredible and extremely irrational.

Even Liu Yunfeng was stunned by this decision. When he received a call from Mr. Wang, he could barely speak a word.He said yes in his mouth and congratulated the company, but he said in his heart, "He... he actually used this condition to work for the stars in the next ten years? This company is too dark..."

It's just that for Zhang Li, whose makeup artist has to apply powder many times to cover his dark circles, as long as Xing Chen's statement slandering Lu Huai disappears from the Internet, he is willing to do anything.

He closed his eyes and took a brief break between makeup.All the tense nerves finally relaxed.Then, the weak emotions of anger and grievance began to climb up his head like a creeping tiger, "Lu Huai, you bastard! Others don't care, Liu Yunfeng, Li Ai and others are nothing, but you, you also Fool me like this!"

Two hours later, the bastard heard a scream from a colleague in the publicity department in his company, "Oh my God! Xingchen withdrew that statement, saying that it was all done by the PR director himself without the consent of the artist and the company." Framed, and said that he has a personal enmity with you, taking the opportunity to retaliate, the company is already planning to fire him."

"What!" Zhang Yu and Lu Huai stood up from the sofa at the same time.
