In comparison, Zhou Yuhe was a lot calmer.
He rubbed his ears and laughed. "Don't be angry, CEO Ji. The reason why I said that I want to go out and do it alone is because I think that there is a better way to achieve a win-win cooperation than working together in the same company."
Ji Yuan stared at his mouth, as if he would immediately throw this ignorant brat out of I.S. if he said something that made him unhappy in the next second.
"Have you heard of the VAM agreement?"
Ji Yuan was stunned.
The VAM agreement.
Of course, he had heard of it.
Not only had he heard of it, but he was also very familiar with it.
As a common method of capital operations, CEO Ji was a hundred times more familiar with the words "VAM agreement" than Zhou Yuhe.
However, he had always been the one to coax or force other artistes and directors to sign the VAM agreement. Zhou Yuhe was definitely the first person to take the initiative to come to him and say that he wanted to bet with him.
After carefully thinking about the key points, he instantly calmed down.
"You want to sign the VAM agreement with me?" Ji Yuan's voice had a hint of playfulness.
Zhou Yuhe leaned forward slightly and posed with a rather imposing posture. Coupled with his young and tender face of only 22 years old, it was not very convincing.
At this moment, in Ji Yuan's eyes, Zhou Yuhe was like a little kid who was holding a dinosaur toy as a biological weapon, and he himself was completely unaware of it.
Zhou Yuhe said, "I want freedom, you want money. Compared to working in your hands, isn't the VAM agreement more suitable for the two of us?"
"Freedom? Hahahahaha … "Ji Yuan laughed loudly. He thought that Zhou Yuhe was indeed too inexperienced in the industry. Did he think that it was so easy to go out and do it alone? Especially after signing the VAM agreement, it was not a good thing that fell from the sky. Who knew how many virtuous and artistic directors, and how many capable actors who were preparing to enter the big screen, after signing the VAM agreement, were reduced to working for others to earn money? The choice of film was no longer up to them, and he actually said that he had freedom?
He was indeed ignorant.
However, compared to signing such a popular and disobedient artist, the VAM was indeed more attractive. After signing Zhou Yuhe, he still had to consider his popularity, reputation, and future … There were too many considerations. However, the VAM was only related to money. He only needed to get the money when the time came. Who would care about Zhou Yuhe's life or death?
Of course, he did not intend to say too many words of advice to Zhou Yuhe. Ji Yuan nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with the proposal of the VAM agreement. "That's it then. As for the amount of money and the specific details of the VAM agreement, we will discuss it again after you have sorted out the details of the agreement."
"Thank you, CEO Ji."
Zhou Yuhe walked out of the office under Ji Yuan's pitiful gaze.
The numbers on the elevator's display kept jumping.
Zhou Yuhe looked at himself in the mirror of the elevator. His youthful face had a hint of arrogance and a hint of courage … Then, he smiled.
His smile was calm and deep.
Ji Yuan thought that he did not know what the VAM agreement was and was still thinking of ways to get a sum of money from him. However, he did not know that he was the lamb that had fallen into the trap.
In most cases, the VAM agreement in the entertainment industry was a type of agreement that was negotiated by both parties when the investor was investing in a film or a company and was uncertain about the future operations of the company. For example, if Company A invested 70 million yuan in a film company registered by Artist B, Artist B had to guarantee that Company A would make 100 million yuan of net profit within three years. Otherwise, Artist B would have to pay out of his own pocket.
The VAM agreement was actually a form of option and was very common in business operations. However, this type of agreement had only been in the entertainment industry for a short period of time. It had only been one or two years, so from Ji Yuan's point of view, it was understandable that Zhou Yuhe did not know the pros and cons of the VAM agreement.
The VAM agreement seemed like a good idea. For the investor, there was a guarantee and the risk of the investment would be reduced. For the artist, they would be able to get enough quick money to operate their own works. It seemed like a win-win situation. However, the danger was that the entertainment industry was constantly changing and plans could never keep up with the changes. As far as Zhou Yuhe knew, in the past 10 years, there had been at least 50 artists and directors whose reputations had been ruined or nearly ruined because of the VAM agreement.
In his previous life, before he had died, the general trend in the industry was to view the VAM agreement as dangerous as a wolf or a tiger. If they did not have a trump card, no one would dare to sign an VAM agreement with the investor.
And Zhou Yuhe's biggest trump card was …
His foresight.
The reason why he dared to say this was because he knew that in his previous life, although Ji Yuan's actions were not as big as in this life, they still knew how to poach people. They had only casually adjusted the company's structure and caused some trouble for Ji Chen when he took over I.S. Corporation. In the next few years, they had suffered from Ji Chen's crazy revenge. All the companies under them were forced to the point where they could not operate and the executives all ran away. Even Ji Yuan himself had no choice but to flee overseas because he was afraid that the police would investigate him. After that, he had never returned to China.
It was already like this in his previous life. Now that Ji Yuan had made such a big mistake, it was still unknown whether his new company could survive until the day the VAM agreement came into effect. Naturally, Zhou Yuhe did not have anything to worry about.
Even if the VAM agreement really came into effect, he would still have a way to deal with it.
At present, he would be able to get his VAM agreement out of I.S. Corporation without using a single soldier. He would also be able to take Yang Yu with him. Such a deal was definitely worth it.
