Chapter 234 Ecological Environment
Around the earth, Jing Jian and Qin Zi finally returned to their home in the United States after the New Year. They learned from Kent that as it has become an academic dispute, media hot spots inevitably cooled down. At this time, fewer and fewer reporters paying attention to "Bramble" have become.
Anyway, it’s better to have less. Jing Jian doesn’t want to become a target of onlookers on campus after school starts.
However, before Jing Jian recovered from the fatigue of the journey, Billy from Seed Music was anxious to call: "Bramble, someone is going to dig out the members of the Elf Bird. Just after the New Year, three members' agents came to me. Look, what should I do?"
"Speak slowly." Jing Jian was not in a hurry and was a little contemptuous of Billy. Isn't it just a poaching job? What a nonsense?
Apart from the future queen Lumina, Jing Jian didn't care about the other members of the Elf Bird. After leaving three people, he could still raise them for a few years and release three promised personal albums. Besides, although the compensation for job-changing $3 million is indeed a bit exaggerated for these newcomers, it will be a bit too much, but at least it can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I really have to say that even if Lumina wants to leave, as long as she can give out 3 million, Jing Jian will still let it go. The forced melon is not sweet, and Jing Jian had no plans to start an entertainment company at all.
In terms of investment in Seed Entertainment, Jing Jian can be said to be lucky. The first album of Elf Bird has exceeded 800,000, and the overseas release and MTV buyout also sold 3.8 million US dollars. Not to mention it, the album alone has made more than 15 million US dollars. According to the investment ratio, more than 10 million remained in Seed Entertainment, and more than 5 million were distributed to Jing Jian's private ones. With taxes, lawyer fees, and audit fees from accounting firms, Jing Jian can get basically 3.8 million. This is a total fortune. Therefore, when he arrived in Hong Kong this time, Jing Jian took out about 1 million US dollars and bought the four villas without hesitation.
As for the more than 10 million left for Seed Entertainment, according to the prior agreement, Andrew's MTV worked hard and made great contributions, so Seed Film could get one tenth, which is 1 million. Moreover, Jing Jian had promised Andrew to ask him to select scripts, prepare to invest 500,000 yuan, and promote the 500,000 yuan, so that Andrew could prepare for a team and start making an independent film.
The remaining 9 million is exactly the second album of the Elf Bird and the ten members. If Jing Jian is starting to be in trouble now and all these investments are plunged into his grandma’s house, how can he recover the 23 million yuan cost?
If that is true, then Billy and Andrew will definitely be dismissed, so Jing Jian will prepare for it himself. The other nine members will give up without hesitation and make every effort to make a fuss. The remaining 23 million will hit Lumina, and it will even smash her red!
Of course, if even Lumina loses miserably, then stand attentively and admits defeat. After the liquidation is over, Jing Jian admits that he does not have the ability to do art. Even Lumina can be compensated, stop loss and give up. Anyway, invest 1 million (200,000 of which is the private investment of the first album), and earns 3.8 million in half a year, with an excellent return on investment. By the way, he has played in the American entertainment industry.
This shows how little health care does not attach to Seed Entertainment. And those three members are leaving? In Jing Jian’s eyes, it is nothing more than the divestiture of “non-performing assets”.
On the phone, Billy briefly introduced the situation: maybe it was luck or bad luck. When the first album was successful, some members of the Elf Bird were targeted by other record companies. The three of them were more popular and offered more generous conditions. Compared with the newcomer contracts of Seed Music, as long as they were not idiots, everyone knew how to choose.
Fortunately, Jing Jian heard the names of the three people, Lumina was not among them. But now she is really an ugly duckling, and among these ten handsome men and beautiful women, she is not at all conspicuous.
Since that's the case, Jing Jian asked: "Have you negotiated the conditions? What price is the other party willing to pay?"
"Bramble, it's not just this." Billy was a little anxious, "The second album has been prepared almost the same. Without these three people, it's impossible to produce it."
"That's simple." Jing Jieke decided, "You go and talk to these three people, including their agents, that training them means they have good development. However, the company's investment is also great, so that they promise to make the second one. In less than a month, their reputation will be good in the future. Then we don't add more restrictions, and we can play the emotional card more. Also, the compensation for the three people must not be less than 1 million. Anyway, the higher the better, you have the control yourself. As for other members...? Tell them that if there is a good place and give appropriate compensation, we will not stop them. The plan to release a personal album will remain unchanged. But the opportunity is only this time. In the future, it will either be 3 million or work for 15 years."
"I understand, Bramble." After being in the music industry for so many years, Billy could not be pedantic. Jing Jian's words were actually exactly what he wanted.
"Would you like to train a few more newcomers?" Billy was full of energy. Perhaps this success made him taste the long-lost sweetness.
"Billy, as a friend, I would like to remind you, why did Seed Entertainment almost go bankrupt at that time? It was just that I was confused and wanted to make a big investment in the movie." Jing Jian was a little amused, "Seven people solo were even more invested than the singing group of Elf Birds. And do you have that much energy?"
"Really." Billy laughed, "Thank you for the reminder. My friend."
"And." Jing Jian continued to remind, "Don't forget to give the bonus for the success of the first album. The ten people from the Elf Bird and Mr. Cheng will be 50,000 yuan each! You can watch the others. Including the three people who are about to leave, don't forget."
This is not because Jing Jian has too much money or is poor or generous, but because of Billy's reputation in the music circle. No matter which circle he is involved in, he is always stingy.
"Then I will give the children, oh, and Mr. Cheng, thank you." Undoubtedly, Billy was in a good mood at this time.
"Oh!" Jing Jian suddenly remembered Lumina, "Billy, there are... two people who are not selling goods. I am more optimistic, and I believe in my vision."
"Who are they?" Billy was a little curious.
"Jennifer, there is still... Lumina! It's just the two of them." You can't just pick Lumina, so Jing Jian found Jennifer to "brand" him.
