Chapter 207 205. The first endorsement brand is about to close down!
This is Wang Cheng's first visit to Mofang Entertainment Headquarters, which is located in the bustling area of the commercial area of Modu.
The news that Wang Cheng is coming to the company has already spread.
so.
When Wang Cheng got off the car and followed Shen Shenghui into the building, there were many people watching around.
after all…
As a legend in today's entertainment industry, who wouldn't want to come and see?
What's more, after Wang Cheng returned to Shanghai from the Nanyue Tomorrow Idol Program Group, he played four consecutive concerts, directly igniting the city of Shanghai.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Cheng is the hottest figure in Shanghai now!
Everywhere in the streets and alleys is talking about him.
It's just that there are mixed praises and criticisms, and there are far more belittlings than praises.
"Is that Wang Cheng?"
"With a mask and a hat, I can't see what it looks like at all. I don't know if it looks as good as it looks on TV."
"Is it true that he is in conflict with the company?"
"I heard that he came to the company today to sign an endorsement contract. It may be a big contract."
"I heard some gossip that he has earned more than one billion in the past few months since his debut. In the four days of the concert, he has earned more than one billion for the company. It is simply a super money printing machine!"
Employees from Rubik's Cube Entertainment Company were discussing in low voices, and of course staff from other companies in the building also came to watch curiously.
A young woman plucked up the courage to step forward and shouted to Wang Cheng: "Hi Wang Cheng, I'm your super loyal fan, can I take a photo with you?"
The young woman looked at Wang Cheng expectantly.
Many people around were eager to move when they saw this scene.
If Wang Cheng agrees...
They will all rush forward.
Wang Cheng has not publicly signed a group photo for anyone so far. If they can get it and post it on social platforms, they will definitely become the existence that everyone pays attention to.
But.
Wang Cheng walked past him as if he didn’t see him at all, and walked into the elevator with Shen Shenghui.
The young woman was full of embarrassment and sadness, and then quickly got into the crowd and disappeared.
However, everyone's discussion has not stopped.
"Sure enough, the rumor that Wang Cheng doesn't care about fans at all is true."
"He's a young man, he's going to be overwhelmed like that, if he doesn't have the support of his fans, what is he?"
"Hey, he said in the interview that he doesn't need fans, and if he releases songs, others will buy them or not."
"I'm blind, I still want to grab tickets for tomorrow's concert to support him."
"Is there a concert tomorrow?"
"I don't know. I'm going to have a rest tomorrow and I want to see it. Several of my friends went to see it and said it was very exciting."
"I don't think there will be one tomorrow. Mofang Entertainment didn't make an announcement."
"Is there something wrong with these people? There is a concert in the morning on weekdays and rest on weekends?"
The voice of discussion spread far in the crowd.
Wang Cheng had followed Shen Shenghui upstairs and walked directly into an office.
In the office, several people were already sitting.
A middle-aged man on the opposite side saw Wang Cheng coming in, and quickly stood up and reached out to shake Wang Cheng's hand: "Hello, Wang Cheng, we finally meet. I am the major shareholder of Hongxing, Liu Xing! I hope we can cooperate happily."
Wang Cheng hummed, stretched out his hand and shook the other party's hand, and then he sat down quietly and asked lightly, "What about the contract?"
Shen Shenghui handed the folder in his hand to Wang Cheng: "This is the contract."
Wang Cheng took it over and looked at it carefully.
On the opposite side, Liu Xing and several other company executives looked at each other in blank dismay.
They have worked with many celebrity artists before, but basically it is rare for a celebrity artist to read the contract by themselves. Basically, the agent and professional lawyer help to check it, and they can sign it at the end.
Mofang Entertainment has also read the contract, and the lawyer has also reviewed it. Wang Cheng is just going through the process.
but…
Wang Cheng really read every word and every line, page by page. It didn't look like it was pretending.
Both Liu Xing and Shen Shenghui looked at Wang Cheng in surprise, and wanted to ask—can you understand?
After all, Wang Cheng is only nineteen years old and has been a trainee since he graduated from high school. Do you understand the terms of the contract? Know the law?
However, several people did not ask.
No one dares to publicly offend Wang Cheng here.
After two minutes, Shen Shenghui asked in a low voice: "Wang Cheng, do you want a lawyer to interpret it for you?"
Wang Cheng continued to look through it, and said lightly, "No need!"
He dared to say that he knew better than a lawyer.
Because, he personally drafted this kind of contract in his previous life, and even took the judicial examination because he acted as a lawyer once.
And the legal provisions of China in this world are almost the same as he remembers.
Hearing Wang Cheng said no, Shen Shenghui stopped talking, and whispered to Liu Xing: "Mr. Liu, have you contacted the advertising company yet?"
Liu Xing quickly said: "Director Shen, don't worry, I have already contacted him. He is an old friend of mine. He promised to do me a favor. I have already arrived in Shanghai, and the filming will start tomorrow. How is the preparation of Wang Cheng's work?"
Shen Shenghui shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'll find out later by asking Wang Cheng..."
Liu Xing frowned slightly, making a bad plan, then sighed deeply, his eyes full of worry.
This time, he put all his eggs in one basket. If he failed and Wang Cheng's endorsement couldn't boost sales, then he would go bankrupt and become a rascal.
After a while...
Liu Xing and Shen Shenghui were drinking tea and looking at their phones.
Wang Cheng suddenly looked at Liu Xing and asked, "Give me a 10% sales share? And is it permanent?"
Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said: "Yes, our company wants to cooperate with you for a long time. This contract has expired, and we hope to renew it, so I will give you 10% of the sales!"
He did not say that this part of the division was for Rubik's Cube entertainment, which can increase the possibility of successful cooperation.
Wang Cheng still had no expression on his face, but Liu Xing clasped his hands together nervously.
Immediately, Wang Cheng asked again: "How much is your company worth now?"
Liu Xing smiled bitterly: "The overall value is about one billion!"
Wang Cheng: "What about the debt?"
The atmosphere in the office became depressing and serious.
Both eyes looked at Wang Cheng, and there was no more contempt and doubt just now. The appearance and momentum of this nineteen-year-old boy seemed like a big man who had been successful in the business world for many years. It's crystal clear.
Liu Xing didn't hide it either, these are all things that can be found out by the outside world, and replied: "The debt is about 900 million!"
Wang Cheng said lightly: "In other words, it is almost insolvent? How many years have you been losing money?"
Sweat dripped from Liu Xing's forehead. He didn't dare to look into Wang Cheng's eyes. He felt great pressure. He glanced at Shen Shenghui and saw the nervousness on Shen Shenghui's face. He still replied truthfully: "It's been a loss for three years!"
Shen Shenghui forced a smile and said: "Wang Cheng, Mr. Liu's company is still strong!"
Wang Cheng ignored Shen Shenghui, but continued to ask: "I see that it is written in the contract that you will give 60 million for one year, sign the contract for one and a half years, and pay all the endorsement fees in one lump sum, totaling 90 million. After paying this money, you How much money is left for production and R&D?"
Liu Xing replied with a wry smile again: "I'm almost out of money..."
Wang Cheng nodded and asked with certainty: "Your brand is Hongxing?"
Liu Xing nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's called Hongxing! I wanted to call it Hongxing before, but it didn't pass, so I took a homonym and called it Hongxing. I hope our brand can stand up like our red flag!"
Wang Cheng was not interested in Liu Xing's story, but only had a preliminary understanding.
Although, he is not picky about endorsements, and it doesn't matter what brand.
However, that does not mean that he is willing to be kept in the dark, willing to know nothing.
After learning about the Hongxing brand, Wang Cheng carefully looked at the details of the contract.
Both Liu Xing and Shen Shenghui looked at Wang Cheng nervously, fearing that Wang Cheng would refuse the endorsement contract after learning about the strength and status of Hongxing Company.
but!
Another half hour passed.
Wang Cheng took a rough look at some important details of the contract. There were no traps, and the terms of the contract were very loose. He only needed to create a song at the beginning to be released as a commercial song. It was enough to shoot one commercial in the next year, and the copyright of the song also belonged. As for Wang Cheng personally, only the Hongxing brand has the right to use advertisements.
Neither party thought about setting any traps for Wang Cheng in the contract.
The contract is only one and a half years, which is the same as Wang Cheng's brokerage agreement.
If the Hongxing brand goes bankrupt midway, the contract will automatically end, and the endorsement fee will not be refunded, and Wang Cheng will not bear any responsibilities and obligations, and will automatically have nothing to do with Hongxing.
As for the 10% share!
Wang Cheng didn't care.
Because, although this brand is somewhat similar to the great star in that world in his memory, he doesn't know what the fate of this great star will be in the future.
If it goes bankrupt, the so-called ten percent achievement is meaningless.
If it didn't go bankrupt, Wang Cheng would have a long-term meal ticket.
Even if he succeeds, he doesn't care, anyway, he is not short of money, and no amount of money is just a number to him.
"OK!"
Wang Cheng said something suddenly, and then stretched out his hand to Shen Shenghui.
Shen Shenghui froze for a moment, then looked at Wang Cheng suspiciously.
The opposite Liu Xing and others also looked at Wang Cheng with wide eyes...
Wang Cheng said lightly: "Pen!"
Shen Shenghui reacted instantly, hurriedly took the signature pen prepared in advance from the side, and handed it to Wang Cheng with both hands: "Here!"
Liu Xing blushed excitedly and said: "Wang Cheng, don't worry, we will definitely work hard to prevent you from suffering losses."
Liu Xing's heart is full of confidence again.
He has already negotiated a loan with the bank, and even asked a relative to borrow a sum of money. He only waits for Wang Cheng to sign the contract and let them see the possibility of the company's success. It can be rolled out and put into production!
The continuous losses in the past few years are because Hongxing is researching new styles and technologies, and now it has almost formed its own system and model, and has been recognized by some officials.
It's just that Liu Xing wanted to become a blockbuster, so he paid a huge price to sign Wang Cheng.
If you don't succeed, you will succeed!
Either skyrocket or go bankrupt.
Wang Cheng glanced at Liu Xing, did not speak, just wrote his name, and handed it to the other party.
Liu Xing looked at it, confirmed that the contract was still the original one, and wrote his name on it, then stood up and extended his hand to Wang Cheng: "Wang Cheng, happy cooperation!"
Wang Cheng also stood up and shook hands with Liu Xing lightly, quickly separated, without speaking, turned around, picked up his things and went out.
When the work is over, he leaves work.
Liu Xing hurriedly asked: "Wang Cheng, where's the new song?"
Wang Cheng didn't look back, but said softly: "The materials are ready for me."
Liu Xing looked at Wang Cheng's back: "Okay, I will hand it over to Director Shen tonight, and let Director Shen give it to you."
Wang Cheng didn't respond, and he was already walking towards the elevator, ready to go back the same way and go back to the apartment dormitory to rest.
In the office, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Shen Shenghui didn't go to see Wang Cheng off, there was a car waiting for Wang Cheng downstairs, so he didn't have to go, he looked at Liu Xing and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Liu, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Liu Xing and Shen Shenghui shook hands, and said with emotion: "Wang Cheng is just as in the legend, very confident!"
After all, he is a partner. He can't say that Wang Cheng is playing big and arrogant, but he can only say that he is very confident...
Shen Shenghui shook his head and said: "He has always been like this, and there is nothing we can do about it."
After finishing speaking, Shen Shenghui also wanted to leave. He didn't think that Hong Xing could survive, and Liu Xing was about to go bankrupt, so he wasn't worthy of his reception.
Liu Xing didn't want to stay too long. After the contract was over, he just wanted to go back and start the launch of new products as soon as possible. He said goodbye immediately: "Director Shen, then I will leave first. I will send you the information of our company's products later. You send it, please pass it on to Wang Cheng, let him help us create suitable works as soon as possible."
He has confidence in Wang Cheng's creative ability. He has heard and liked every song Wang Cheng releases. That's why he made such a request and is willing to pay 10% of the sales.
Shen Shenghui: "Okay, I will give my assistant an order, and they will hand it over when the time comes, and let my assistant send it to Wang Cheng."
Liu Xing smiled, knowing that he was not qualified to be valued by Shen Shenghui, and said immediately: "Okay, please trouble Director Shen."
Shen Shenghui: "No trouble, this is my job!"
The two exchanged hypocritical politeness, then Liu Xing got up and left with a few subordinates.
Shen Shenghui also heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
He had been worrying about Wang Cheng's refusal to sign the contract just now.
Then he's out of luck.
fine.
Wang Cheng is just as he thought—conceited!
Such a brand that is about to go bankrupt dares to sign a contract.
Then Wang Cheng will have to bear the consequences.
A brand that no one knows about, quickly closed down again...
That was definitely a big blow to Wang Cheng's image.
Shen Shenghui smiled again, got up and walked to his office, and personally posted a message on the Internet: "Wang Cheng's concert is suspended."
Many online audiences waiting to buy tickets to watch Wang Cheng's concert tomorrow have puzzled faces.
"Hey guy, you held a concert when I was at work, and I had time to rest, so you stopped, what do you mean? It's against the office worker student party? Isn't the office worker student party worthy of watching Wang Cheng's concert?"
"Why? I finally took a break, and finally I was able to watch Wang Cheng's concert. Why did it stop?"
"Crazy, Wang Cheng is crazy, Rubik's Cube Entertainment is crazy!"
"Unintelligible operation... the concert will be held at 10 am on weekdays, but it will not be held on weekends... just do it the other way around."
"Losing my mind!"
…
Shen Shenghui glanced at some news briefly, saw a lot of scolding, and felt complicated.
Someone scolded Wang Cheng, that's what he wanted to see.
However, it was because Wang Cheng didn't hold a concert tomorrow that he scolded him.
These people, have you forgotten the one who complained about the most expensive concert ticket in the world?
Forgot what you said earlier about boycotting Wang Cheng, who is a fan?
Now there is no concert, you also scold...?
Is it really love and black?
Complex networks.
Shen Shenghui shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
…
And Liu Xing left Rubik's Cube Entertainment with several company executives, and immediately began to arrange: "We have officially signed a contract with Wang Cheng, and the news will be released immediately! At the same time, the new project will start immediately, and the bank loan and a loan will be available immediately." Check in."
Several executives took action immediately.
Immediately, the news that Wang Cheng endorsed Hongxing was first released on the official Weibo.
Hongxing’s official Weibo has only a few tens of thousands of followers, and it can be said to be one of the worst brand official Weibo.
but.
Danghongxing official Weibo posted a message: "Welcome Wang Cheng to be the chief brand spokesperson of our company, and wish us a happy cooperation!"
As soon as this message is sent out.
Instantly caused a sensation.
but.
Everyone was puzzled and questioned the first time they saw the news!
—Hongxing?
What is it?
Can I eat it?
