Chapter 129 Gambling and drugs and I are inseparable
This time, Lin Yicheng came to Star Culture Company mainly for personal matters.
His two-year endorsement contract with Nokia is about to expire, and Nokia wants to renew it again.
"They gave you two options to choose from. One is a two-year contract for 1500 million. The other is a three-year contract for 2500 million."
"This money is so easy to make." Lin Yicheng couldn't help but sigh.
That’s right. He has been the spokesperson for Nokia for two years, but he has never shot a commercial. He only took a few flat photos.
There is no need to participate in some Nokia activities, such as new phone launches, new store opening ceremonies, etc.
This money is no different from picked up money.
"Let's choose the two-year one. I estimate that my endorsement fee will increase after two years." Lin Yicheng thought about it briefly and decided.
Nokia can still thrive for several more years. There is no need to worry about anything during this period. Just wait for the turning point of the smartphone era to come and then not renew the contract.
"Okay, I'll notify Nokia." Zong Shuai nodded and agreed, "Also, Audi has also contacted me, and they also want you to be their spokesperson."
"Audi? I haven't cooperated with them before, why would they come to me?" Lin Yicheng was a little puzzled.
"They somehow knew that you've been driving Audi all these years, so they probably thought you had a special liking for Audi."
"So that's how it is." Lin Yicheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was no other reason why he bought that second-hand Audi.
Just like many boys when shopping, Lin Yicheng entered the first store, saw the second-hand Audi at first sight, and bought it.
But, after these four or five years, I have really developed an attachment to this car.
Not only does he work diligently, he also never loses his temper and so far nothing has gone wrong, not even a minor ailment.
Lin Yicheng loves money, but what he enjoys and pursues is the process of making money. He does not have high material requirements for himself.
So, even though he is no longer the same as he was before, this second-hand Audi has always been with him, and both parties are inseparable.
"The contract term should not exceed three years, and the endorsement fee should not be lower than that of Nokia." Lin Yicheng made two requirements.
"Well, I'll let you know after we've discussed it."
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll go back first." Lin Yicheng just stood up and thought of something else. He said, "You have to take what I told you last time on the phone seriously. Explain the interests to them clearly. If they don't want to listen, they should be put on ice or the contract should be terminated."
"I know this, don't worry." Zong Shuai's expression became serious.
……
What Lin Yicheng was talking about was nothing else but the issue of taxes. After he discussed this issue with Fan Xiaopang last time, he called Zong Shuai again and made a specific request on this matter.
Lin Yicheng doesn't pay much attention to Star Culture Company, but that doesn't mean he doesn't care.
Some things can be done, and some things cannot be done.
Lin Yicheng doesn't have high requirements for the actors of Star Culture Company. You can have poor acting skills, you can play multiple roles, you can be a big shot, and you can even fuck with your fans. Lin Yicheng will turn a blind eye and pretend he didn't see anything.
But you must never do anything illegal, such as tax evasion.
Even the boss Lin Yicheng is paying taxes. If his artists are not required to pay taxes, is there still any law?
In addition to taxes, there is also D, which cannot be touched at all. If anyone touches it, Lin Yicheng will be the first to sacrifice his own family for the sake of justice to avoid tainting his reputation.
As someone in the circle, Lin Yicheng knows very well that this thing has become very rampant nowadays.
Especially in the rock circle, if you take ten people to have their blood tested, nine will have problems and the remaining one will have a big problem!
Just so outrageous.
These people have their reasons, such as being under a lot of work pressure and needing to find inspiration.
Pooh!
They can make a little money from performing in commercial shows, which is equivalent to the salary of an ordinary person for several years or even decades. There is no pressure at all.
As for finding inspiration, do we have to rely on that thing? Don’t you have fruit? Go and eat it. If one is not enough, you can have more.
They all feel like they are floating in the air and reaching paradise.
……
After returning to his company, Lin Yicheng went to the editing room first.
"Insidious" has finally been completed and has just entered post-production.
The person in charge of editing was not Ji Jie, but Feng Tongqing, assistant to Du Yuan, a master in the editing industry. He was the one who edited Liu Kang's "Snow Leopard" before, and his editing skills were very good, so Lin Yicheng poached him to Xinghe Film and Television.
Because the director has changed, the filmed material is different from the original drama. Lin Yicheng watched the two edited episodes and they are quite good.
Feng Tongqing told him that the editing would be completed in about another month, and including dubbing, interludes, subtitles and the like, the film would be finished in two months.
Lin Yicheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The fate of this "The Hidden" was really bumpy. Fortunately, the result was good, otherwise Lin Yicheng would have felt sorry.
Some time ago, the procuratorate filed a lawsuit against Zhang Hongzhen. In a few days, the court will make a verdict. Zhang Hongzhen will definitely go to jail for a few years.
This time, Dongyang Qingyu has completely fallen apart. It will probably not be long before he disappears from the circle and is forgotten.
The other party has already paid the compensation to Xinghe Film and Television Company and dares not delay at all.
Zhang Hongzhen's sister Zhang Jing did not go to jail because the case was not serious and the relevant evidence was not sufficient.
But she has completely lost her place in the circle and her reputation has become so bad. Which crew would dare to hire her?
In the industry, it is an unspoken rule that producers seek benefits for themselves.
Unspoken rules are unspoken rules and cannot be brought to the surface. Once they are brought to the surface, other companies will certainly not hire such people for the sake of their image and influence.
It is said that Jiang Wei is also preparing to divorce Zhang Jing.
Why bother?
I'm sure Zhang Hongzhen and Zhang Jing are filled with regret as they were blinded by greed and ended up paying such a price.
……
Lin Yicheng felt a little sorry for Jiang Wei. This senior was quite capable, but he just met the wrong person. I'm afraid it would be quite difficult for him to develop in the circle in the future.
Lin Yicheng only felt a little pity for him, not much.
As a director, he failed to control the crew and let the crew get out of his control.
As a husband, you cannot persuade your wife to do the wrong thing and offend the wrong person.
There aren't many people like this who are worth pitying.
This is the film and television industry, where competition is extremely cruel. Whether in front of or behind the scenes, having only relevant professional skills is often not enough.
Especially when you reach a certain level, there are too many abilities and qualities that need to be possessed.
Otherwise, there will be loopholes in you, which will give others opportunities to take advantage of you.
Dong Yang Qingyu's story was like a Jingguan, standing there, making the entire circle no longer dare to underestimate Lin Yicheng.
No matter who it is, if they want to deal with Lin Yicheng, they have to think carefully about whether they can withstand Lin Yicheng's anger.
From this perspective, Dong Yang Qingyu's fall is still very valuable.
Nowadays, whether in the film or television circles, when industry insiders discuss some companies, Galaxy Pictures will definitely be mentioned.
The strength and scale of Xinghe Film and Television Company are not outstanding, but its reputation is well-known to them and they dare not ignore it.
