After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 181 I'm still here! Why are you backstabbing me so soon?
"Don't just think about it. I can't give you shares in Youku. You can't take Liu Shishi's shares either. You have to give up 10%."

"Why? Why is the salary getting lower and lower? That's not what you said a while ago."

"I suddenly figured it out! You're so picky and procrastinating when making a movie... right before the shooting starts, you get a fever, I came, and you ran away secretly... Now you want me to revise the script, why are you so fussy? We've just started working together, and if you're like this, how can we work together in the future?"

"I want to improve myself too..." Yang Mi nudged Li Mingyang's knee with her knee, "I promise I won't do it again, just this once."

If I believe you, that would be hell.

Everyone in the circle says that I am good at fooling people, and you are also a big liar.

Yang Mi has a bad habit, which is that she likes to act in dramas. In the beginning, it may have been forced upon her by Rong Xinda, who wanted to reap the benefits of her popularity.

Later, she probably tasted the sweetness and became the queen of acting. After the hit "Palace" hit, she became a top young actress and became unstoppable. She even dared to act in Kaizi's movies.

In a fit of anger, Chen Diaochan kicked her out of the crew.

Not only did he kick her out, he also made the matter public, making Yang Mi so scared that she didn't even dare to say a word.

Although Chen Kaizi, who relies on his father, is not worthy of his reputation, he is still one of the top three directors in China, on par with Feng Kuzi and Zhang Yimou.

If it weren't for the capital support and Far Cry behind her, Yang Mi would probably have been completely banned from the Beijing circle.

"I don't believe your words."

Li Mingyang waved his hands and said, "Don't even think about Youku's shares. Don't even think about Huashu's shares. You can only get 20% of Mingyang Entertainment..."

"It's too little. I'll soon be one of the four little beauties." Yang Mi said.

"Shishi too..." said Li Mingyang.

The main creative lineup of Spy can be said to be a combination of Running Man and Ip Man.

A group of kung fu superstars, plus a young actress.

For Zhen Zhidan, Wu Jing, Zou Zhaolong and A Zu, apart from getting the money, there was no other bonus.

But for the heroine Liu Shishi, the bonus is huge.

Cai Yinong initially thought about fakely banning Liu Shishi, making her look pitiful, and bringing Li Mingyang into Tangren.

However, the popularity of spies exceeded everyone's expectations.

One week after the first two spy series were aired, numerous advertisers approached Cai Yinong to discuss business cooperation and brand endorsement with Liu Shishi.

Originally, there were only a dozen or so Liu Shishis in business, but she suddenly became the darling of advertisers, with hundreds of business deals and a large number of short-term endorsements.

These endorsements are not for small brands, but for big brands such as Pepsi, Guirenniao, Semir, Longines, and Cheerios, which greatly add to the fame of the artists.

Cai Yinong wanted to help Li Mingyang make more money, so she did not agree immediately.

However, it was hard to refuse the offer. The advertiser was so enthusiastic that he brought money and contracts, and some even blocked the company's door, forcing Cai Yinong to sign.

These well-known brands are the media’s favorites, and their promotion efforts are amazing.

It seemed like advertisers had discussed it before the New Year and launched a wave of promotion. Liu Shishi’s endorsement advertisements were broadcast on TV one after another, and Liu Shishi’s endorsement posters could be seen everywhere in shopping malls.

Liu Shishi’s popularity skyrocketed.

Relying on Long Kui from The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3 and Yoel from The Spy, he actually made it into the Four Little Flowers.

Squeezed out Huang Shengyi.

"Her agency contract is still with Tangren." Yang Mi said unhappily, "You are giving it to outsiders instead of me."

"You can't say I'm an outsider. Cai Yinong wanted to give me Tangren shares, but I was too busy to discuss it."

"Cai Yinong wants to give you shares!" It was the first time Yang Mi heard this, and she was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.

Cai Yinong's desire to control the sugar man has reached the point of obsession, she holds it so tightly and perfectly that even a big company like Shanghai Film Group cannot take away her shares.

"You only spent 30 yuan on % of Mingyang Entertainment's shares. Don't you have any idea how much money you made?"

"I'm reducing it to 20% now. I've done my best. You need to think long-term. If Mingyang Entertainment goes public, how much will this 20% be worth?"

Yang Mi swallowed her saliva, her eyes full of money, and said with a flattering smile: "You won't lie to me... You have so many companies in your hands, I'm afraid of you."

"Don't be too greedy. I've given you enough."

"How is that possible? My pay has increased to more than 200,000 per episode, and one drama can earn 7-8 million."

"What's the point of having a high pay? Even if there's no agency sucking your blood, there's still 45% tax, 10% agent fees, 5% travel expenses, and styling, clothing, marketing, and all sorts of other expenses. Out of 100 RMB, you'll only have 30 left."

You are really good at calculating...

Li Mingyang lit a cigarette, took two puffs and threw it into the wine glass. "To be honest, the shares I gave you are already a lot. It's enough for you to eat alone... unless someone else wants to eat."

Yang Mi didn't say anything, just stared at Li Mingyang.

Li Mingyang was too lazy to pretend, "Tell your agent to come up, I want to talk to them."

……

The predecessor of Jiaxing Media was Jiaxing Tianxia Yang Mi Studio.

Jiaxing Tianxia Yang Mi Studio was established after Yang Mi left Rongxinda. She and her two agents Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruoyao jointly invested 300 million yuan to establish it.

No matter how Jiaxing Media develops, Yang Mi's shareholding ratio has never exceeded 20%, and she has always been the third largest shareholder.

Yang Mi was sucked dry by Rong Xinda again. When she left Rong Xinda, she was already one of the four little beauties and she must have made millions.

However, the major shareholder is Zeng Jia, who holds more than 51% of the shares.

As long as the shares are not 51%, there is no say and share dilution is child's play.

The initial shares determine the upper limit. If you follow up with the investment and others follow up with the investment, it will be good if you can maintain it.

The better Jiaxing develops, the deeper the quagmire becomes, and that’s how Yang Mi got trapped.

Li Mingyang introduced capital for development that year, which opened his eyes. However, he was dazzled and confused by the combination of capital.

If you have never been in contact with capital and have never dealt with capital, even if you are extremely smart, you will be confused. When a company is just starting out, everything is easy to do. Once it grows, the most important thing is the equity structure.

Yang Mi fell into the trap of equity structure.

Founders of all large companies have a strong desire to control their shareholding ratio because it is the lifeline of the company.

67% absolute control line, 51% relative control line, and 34% safety control line.

The safety control line is also called the life and death line.

Have the right to veto major matters.

Without a veto power, the founder could be kicked out in minutes.

The capital sets up the game, with each link interconnected, and they can take everything away in a matter of minutes!

Li Mingyang was forced to cross the line between life and death at that time.

But in the end, he kicked the capital out.

Film and television companies are different from other industries. Content is king.

All you need is the courage to burn your boats and die together.

Capital is ruthless, but those who operate capital have KPIs, and no one wants to die with a madman.

If they can get their money back and recover their losses, they will naturally run away.

Of course, this operation can only be established when the amount is not large.

Yang Mi is now at a stage where the amount is not large and she can get away easily.

If it was Jiaxing Media, which was later valued at tens of billions, it would not be so easy for Yang Mi to get out, for one thing, there were interests involved.

On the other hand, we are no longer young and cannot create another Jiaxing.

Zeng Jia listened to Li Mingyang talking about the company's equity structure with a look of horror.

She really didn't expect that Li Mingyang knew more than her... She had signed up for a course and studied for half a year!

Yang Mi heard the safety control line and vetoed it.

Relative control line, freely determined.

Absolute control line, everyone else is an ant...

The concept, which was originally a bit vague, suddenly became clear.

It seems like she is still working...

Li Mingyang saw Yang Mi's face change and stared coldly at Zeng Jia and Zhao Ruora, realizing that his purpose of sowing discord had been achieved.

He then changed the subject and proposed to set up a studio for Yang Mi and merge Jiaxing Company.

"I can promote Yang Mi and Liu Shishi, and I can promote others, too. If that doesn't work, can't I just focus on promoting my girlfriend?"

"I don't have time to waste with you. The most I can give you is 25%, not even a decimal point more." Li Mingyang stood up, put on sunglasses, and left.

Yang Mi felt it was too little, but Zeng Jia didn't think it was too little. Yang Mi couldn't take advantage of him, and Li Mingyang was the big shot!

"Director Li, Director Li, I agree. I don't mind the amount of shares. I've recently taken a fancy to a few young girls. They're very good. They'll definitely be successful as long as you give them some resources." Zeng Jia trotted along, saying with a flattering look on her face.

Yang Mi was shocked!

Damn it! I'm still here! You're backstabbing me so soon!
Yang Mi quickly chased after him, hugged Li Mingyang's arm and started rubbing against him.

"I agree to that, it's just a joke, let's sign the contract first."

Li Mingyang turned his head and glanced at her, smiling sweetly, "You should think about how to split the deal with your agent."

After saying that, Li Mingyang held Yang Mi's shoulder with one hand and struggled to pull out his arm with the other.

The hug is too tight!
Finally getting away, Li Mingyang turned around and glanced at Zeng Jia.

Zeng Jia understood what was going on, so she stopped Yang Mi and started talking to her about the shares.

When going downstairs, Li Mingyang heard a fierce quarrel.

Did they fall out?
I don’t know, it has nothing to do with him anyway... He just needs to get Jiaxing Media.

Through observing and getting along with each other for several years, Li Mingyang discovered that Zeng Jia did have some abilities.

Just weak, not incompetent.

And she is particularly good at playing the emotional card... just like her master Li Xiaowan.

This is an agent who likes to play with people's hearts.

The most important thing for an artist’s agent is to obtain resources.

The second is public relations ability.

The last thing is the artist’s career planning.

Zeng Jia’s resources, public relations skills, and career planning are not very good.

But she is hardworking and patient.

Yang Mi has a bad temper.

Zeng Jia not only endured it, but also quietly tricked Yang Mi into a miserable state. This is truly a true test of her ability to endure hardships!

As an agent, Zeng Jia is ordinary.

But as a manager, Zeng Jia, who is good at playing with people's hearts and forbearing, is still very competent.
