Chapter 274: Signing Lin Kexin, Lin Fan’s Money-Making Plan
“Lin Kexin, am I that kind of person in your eyes?”
“Will I take a girl’s most important thing just because she asked me for help? Besides, I have a girlfriend.” Lin Fan smiled and looked at Lin Kexin.
“Sit down, eat some bread and drink some water first. Don’t cry. Crying won’t solve the problem.” He smiled and took out the bread.
If Lin Kexin wanted to terminate her contract with Huace Pictures, she would have to pay a contract termination fee of 300 million yuan.
She would pay 100 million herself, but still had to pay 200 million more in contract termination fees.
No entertainment company would help Lin Kexin pay the two hundred million in contract termination fees.
It was easier said than done for an artiste to earn two hundred million.
But for Lin Fan, his eyes lit up.
In Lin Fan’s opinion, the boss of Huace Pictures was very capable, but there was something wrong with his IQ.
Who was Lin Kexin? She was the school belle of Beijing Film Academy. She was so popular and beautiful.
Moreover, Lin Kexin was still very popular now. If he could sign her, he would be able to earn a lot of money in the future.
If it had been any other entertainment company, it would have been difficult to use Lin Kexin to earn two hundred million.
But to Lin Fan, it wasn’t difficult at all.
Lin Fan had already entered the entertainment industry, so of course he had to work hard to earn money.
Moreover, Lin Fan planned to open an entertainment company in the future.
If one wanted to start an entertainment company, the most important thing was to have outstanding artistes in the company.
Artistes like Lin Kexin, Xia Wanqiu, and Su Xiaoyu could earn a lot of money.
But most of the profits would be taken by the entertainment companies.
In fact, celebrities could only get a small portion of the money.
Su Xiaoyu was the first artiste Lin Fan signed, but she did not lack money at all. Lin Fan would not let Su Xiaoyu film dramas and endorsements every day at a high intensity.
Lin Fan could not bear to let Xia Wanqiu work at a high intensity too.
If he wanted to open an entertainment company, just having Xia Wanqiu and Su Xiaoyu was not enough.
Now there was Lin Kexin.
In Lin Fan’s scripts, he could arrange a role for Lin Kexin.
If Lin Kexin could continue to be popular, it would bring in immeasurable income.
At that time, she could earn tens of millions by filming an endorsement.
As long as she did that many times, she could earn a lot of money. Then, she could definitely earn more than 200 million yuan.
Imagine how high her popularity would go.
In the past, television dramas could become very popular, but now, it was very difficult for dramas to reach the peak levels of past dramas.
For example, there was no distinction between celebrities in the 1986 version of Journey to the West. Even the main lead had to help carry the props.
These were classic veteran actors.
If it were young actors now, hiring an actor would cost tens of millions of yuan. If they hired a few more, they would not have to film that television drama. They would be bankrupt before they could film it.
But Lin Fan was different.
Lin Fan’s scripts were enough to shake the entire entertainment industry.
And the most important part of Lin Fan’s scripts was the characters.
If Xia Wanqiu, Su Xiaoyu, and Lin Kexin appeared in the same television drama, what would happen?
At that time, it would not be as simple as going viral on the Internet.
Perhaps it would become a true classic.
Three very beautiful girls in the same frame, and their acting skills were top-notch. Coupled with Lin Fan’s script, the effect of the television drama would be unimaginable.
He would definitely earn more than 200 million yuan then.
After some thought, Lin Fan made a decision.
Lin Fan looked at Lin Kexin and said with a smile, “Lin Kexin, I’ll help you pay the contract termination fee. I can’t stand Huace Pictures bullying you either.”
“But if you want me to help you pay the contract termination fee, there are conditions too.” Lin Fan smiled brightly and looked at Lin Kexin’s surprised face.
“Brother Lin Fan, I’ll accept any condition,” Lin Kexin said seriously.
“First, you have to sign with me and become an artiste for my company in the future. I’ll be in charge of all your resources. You can’t refuse the company’s arrangements for no reason.”
“Second, if you sign with me, you have to sign for five years. You can’t change companies for five years. If you do, the contract termination fee would be very high too. I can’t help you pay the contract termination fee for nothing. You understand that.”
“Third, any earnings from activities the company arranges for you, any television series, endorsements and advertisements you participate in, will be split 80-20. I’ll take 80% and you’ll take 20%. Of course, in your second year with my company, it can be adjusted to 70-30.” Lin Fan said.
He wasn’t a fool, and he certainly wasn’t a saint who’d look after a girl just because she was bullied.
Signing Lin Kexin would definitely bring more benefits than harm.
Hearing this, Lin Kexin smiled sweetly and nodded.
“Brother Lin Fan, thank you!!”
“Actually, artistes’ cuts of the profits are very low. Usually, the company gets 90% and we get 10%. Lin Fan, how can you be so good?” Lin Kexin looked at Lin Fan with her beautiful eyes and said in surprise.
Lin Fan smiled. “I’m me. Other people are other people. Go and sign the contract with Qianwei in the afternoon. Once it’s signed, you’ll be my artist. You can act in both the latest TV dramas, the second season of Joy of Life and the third season of The Legend of the Sword and Fairy. But you won’t be paid for either drama.”
After Lin Kexin heard this, she was pleasantly surprised. “Brother Lin Fan, can I also act in these two television dramas?”
Lin Fan nodded. “Yes, of course.”
In the afternoon, after settling the contract, Lin Kexin officially became an artiste under Lin Fan.
Although Lin Fan had yet to establish an entertainment company, the contract was still legally binding.
Lin Fan also helped Lin Kexin pay the contract termination fee.
After paying the 200 million yuan contract termination fee, Lin Fan became poor.
But this deal was worth it.
At the same time, Lin Fan went to Yuehua Entertainment.
When Lin Fan brought Lin Kexin along, everyone was amazed.
Lin Kexin was a top celebrity in China, but she had actually become an artiste under Lin Fan.
“Ahhh, Lin Fan is too amazing.”
“Lin Fan already has Xia Wanqiu. In the end, even Su Xiaoyu and Lin Kexin have become Lin Fan’s artistes.”
“Some get scorched while others are inundated. Why is Lin Fan always surrounded by beautiful women? If it were me, I’d take them all.”
“Nonsense. This is the 21st century. Polygamy is illegal, but Lin Fan is so assertive. He was actually able to sign a big star like Lin Kexin.”
“With Lin Kexin, Xia Wanqiu, and Su Xiaoyu, our company’s television dramas will definitely become extremely popular!”
As everyone in the company exclaimed, Lin Fan sat down.
Finally, it was time to film television dramas again.
Countless fans were already waiting for the sequels to Lin Fan’s two television dramas.
After these two television dramas were all broadcasted, Lin Fan might even earn more money than Xia Wanqiu.
At that time, he would always be able to suppress his wife.
At that time, he would be able to pass Xia Wanqiu’s father’s test and marry Xia Wanqiu.
After they got married, Lin Fan wouldn’t have to live such a bitter life anymore.
Lin Fan’s arrival excited everyone in Yuehua Entertainment.
Lin Fan’s two new scripts were coming out!
Two classic TV dramas were about to be released.
And the entire entertainment industry would be shaken!
