Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Seeing Chen Minhao's horrified expression, Zhang Jianzhang said with a smile, "I didn't tell him to leave. I have known him for more than ten years, and he has been my manager since I started playing tricks. Surely he won't lose money."

Chen Minhao nodded suspiciously.

Zhang Jianzhang said with a smile: "What I said just now contained a lot of information. You may not have any idea about Shenmeng's 25% equity, so let me briefly introduce the company first."

Chen Minhao nodded: "Okay."

Zhang Jianzhang is very familiar with Shenmeng's situation: "Shenmeng's agency currently has 23 artists who have debuted, 106 trainees who have not debuted, and 14 managers. The company's cash flow in the past few years mainly relied on investment from investment companies, but Since the previous year, the company has achieved an overall revenue balance.”

He took a sip of his tea and said, "Let me be honest, the company's artist brokerage business is very profitable at present, and the main expenditure in the past two years is our investment and self-produced online dramas. This year the company will consider participating in some small-cost movies." invest."

Chen Minhao nodded, he was clear about the company's investment in online dramas.

Tian Xiang once sent the script of a male lead in a web drama to Chen Minhao.

After Chen Minhao read the script, he found that it was a youth campus theme, which was somewhat similar to the role he played in "The Best Youth".

Since Chen Minhao wanted to challenge different roles, he asked Kang Hui to refuse for him.

Zhang Jianzhang continued: "In other words, Shenmeng's main expenditure is not cost, but investment. We can foresee that in the next year, the company's investment may generate huge returns."

Chen Minhao sighed in his heart: In the past two years, not only has he achieved earth-shaking changes, but the company has also continued to grow.

Zhang Jianzhang paused for a moment, then continued: "Actually, many people thought that Shenmeng's application for listing on the NEEQ had failed, but in fact I gave up the application in the end."

Chen Minhao asked in surprise, "Why?"

Zhang Jianzhang smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

He put down his teacup, looked at Chen Minhao with deep eyes and said, "Because I hope the company can be listed on the main board rather than listing on the NEEQ."

The image of Zhang Jianzhang in Chen Minhao's mind gradually became clear, he is a scheming boy with lofty aspirations, no, he should be a scheming old cucumber.

Chen Minhao agreed: "I believe that sooner or later I will see Shenmeng listed on the main board."

Zhang Jianzhang laughed: "If you start a studio now, it's equivalent to starting from scratch, but if you own 25% of Shenmeng's shares, you will become Shenmeng's second largest shareholder."

Zhang Jianzhang stood up, sat next to Chen Minhao from the seat opposite him, and said, "Every industry has a bonus period of rapid development, God Dream is very lucky, the timing of development in the past few years has been very good.

To be honest, even if a person gives me a lot of funds now, so that I can achieve something like Shenmeng in the next few years, I can't do it blindly. Because the timing has changed. "

"Congratulations, Shenmeng is indeed getting better and better." But Chen Minhao still refused: "Thank you for your kindness, but I still prefer to start my own studio."

Zhang Jianzhang said in a persuasive manner: "Your vision is a bit narrow now. Mastering the means of production is faster than creating value through labor. It is definitely not as fast as making money from multiple people working for you."

Chen Minhao smiled and said: "I know you are right, but I never thought about how big and powerful my studio should be. In my plan, my entire studio is for my stardom. Serving, even within a short period of time, I may be the only artist in the entire studio."

Chen Minhao put down his chopsticks and said: "Actually, I have relatively low material desires, and money is just a number to me. It's just that I came to this world, and I chose the artist industry, so I just want to see the top scenery.

What Chen Minhao said about my coming to this world is actually different from what Zhang Jianzhang thought about me coming to this world, but this does not prevent the two from further communicating.

Zhang Jianzhang raised his hand and touched his temples, he said with a smile: "In this world, only money is omnipotent. Let me give you an example. In fact, when I was an actor, I often encountered that kind of blind investment." Fang, I was thinking at the time, it would be great if I had money. If I have money, I can shoot according to my ideas.

Since you have such a grand blueprint, why not find a solid backing? "

Chen Minhao took a deep breath, glanced at Zhang Jianzhang with his deep eyes, and said, "Actually, there is a problem that I can't figure out. Why am I worth the price you paid for it?"

Chen Minhao leaned back in his chair: "I once did some calculations. In fact, I haven't made much money for the company in the past few years. In business, to be honest, judging from the income, relying on my work in God in the past few years The value created by dreams, I don't think I'm worth the price you pay."

Chen Minhao changed into a more comfortable posture, and said: "Frankly speaking, in the next few years, I don't plan to change from a salty fish to a workaholic who works hard to make money. Rather than making money, I prefer to spend more time and Focus on improving your strength."

Zhang Jianzhang nodded in agreement: "Your idea is correct. We have the same judgment on your future development plan.

Now the entertainment industry is changing too fast. If an artist pays attention to the immediate interests, does not polish his works, and just drifts with the crowd, he can only become unknown in the end. He will continue to appear in various variety shows for exposure, until he is forgotten. "

Chen Minhao paused for a few seconds, and continued to ask: "So? Why did you offer me such a favorable condition? If you measure it in terms of money, it would be difficult for me to give you 25% of Shenmeng's shares. corresponding returns."

Zhang Jianzhang put down his raised right leg and said earnestly: "Some people spend their entire lives struggling to understand the truth that hard work is very important, but at critical moments, choice is often more important than hard work."

Chen Minhao nodded in agreement with this point of view.

The corners of Zhang Jianzhang's mouth turned up, and he said in a flaunting tone: "I grew from a little bastard to an actor not because of my good acting skills, but because I can pick."

"Not only can you choose scripts, but you can also choose people." Zhang Jianzhang said with a smile: "There are two types of entertainment companies, one is Wanfang Pictures, which mainly invests in film and television works, and the other is Shenmeng Company. , the main asset is the artist. For Shenmeng, the artist is the most important asset. Sometimes the standard to measure an artist is not how much money the artist can make, but his influence.

In other words, Divine Dream does not require you to earn much money. But as long as you are in Shenmeng, the direct and invisible benefits you will bring as a signboard will be endless. "

Chen Minhao glanced at Zhang Jianzhang with a half-smile, and said, "It's not just because of this reason."

Zhang Jianzhang's voice suddenly became hoarse, and he asked, "You don't believe me?"

Chen Minhao showed a meaningful smile: "I believe this is part of the reason, but I know it is definitely not the main reason."

Chen Minhao saw a flash of panic on Zhang Jianzhang's face, but he immediately regained his composure.

Zhang Jianzhang breathed out silently: "Then what reason do you say?"

Chen Minhao laughed and said: "There are two difficulties in kicking Tian Xiang out, the first difficulty lies in Tian Xiang himself, judging from your performance, you can handle this difficulty.

The second difficulty lies in other shareholders. Shenmeng has also gone through several rounds of financing. Your current shareholding in Shenmeng must be less than 50%, or even less than 40%. If you kick Tian Xiang out of the game, assuming you directly account for Tian Xiang's shares, then your shares should exceed 50%, forming an absolute controlling stake. Other shareholders will certainly not agree to do so.

And I am the key to solving the second problem. If you find someone else, the shareholders will definitely be worried, worrying that you will wear a pair of pants with him. And I was the best, or even the only candidate. For other shareholders, I have high enough value, and at the same time, I will not become your puppet. "

Chen Minhao deliberately paused, took a sip of tea casually, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, am I right?"

Zhang Jianzhang's expression changed uncontrollably several times, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief, his emotions returned to calm, and said: "You can analyze such news from my few words, I don't even know how to say that you will be like a fish in water as an artist , or to say that being an artist has wronged you."

After Chen Minhao's speculation was affirmed, he knew that his follow-up plan was stable.

Chen Minhao said frankly: "The conditions you offered me are very favorable, and such sincerity makes it hard for me to refuse."

Zhang Jianzhang raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't tell me there is another but."

Chen Minhao grinned and said, "But I really can't accept it."

Zhang Jianzhang tentatively asked, "Because of Kang Hui?"

Chen Minhao nodded: "Yes, if I agree to this condition, Kang Hui's situation will become more embarrassing."

Zhang Jianzhang looked displeased: "What is the relationship between the two of you? How much is the share that Wan Anqi gave her, and how much is the share that you give him. When Wan Anqi asked Kang Hui to choose one of the two, she I chose you without hesitation."

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the fact to be different from what Kang Hui said.

It wasn't that Wan Anqi offered to terminate the contract, but when Wan Anqi asked her to choose between herself and her, Kang Hui chose herself without hesitation.

Seeing that Chen Minhao didn't speak, Zhang Jianzhang looked at Chen Minhao with scrutiny and asked in a low voice, "So, what's the relationship between the two of you?"

Chen Minhao said with a smile on his face: "We are a great revolutionary friendship with common ideals and aspirations."

Zhang Jianzhang looked confused. What the hell?
