Do Not Speak Ill of My Mother!
Chapter 589 - 573 is just a contract.

Chapter 589: 573 is just a contract.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you’ll fear even a well rope for ten years.

The two rounds of endorsements with Yoni ended in disaster, and even if the PR did a good job, the brand itself wasn’t affected. But after such adverse events, how could the follow-up contract still be exactly the same as the original version?

Not even a supplementary agreement was signed?

This is crazy!

Is Yoni’s brand too confident in itself, or is their legal department not diligent enough?

Yan Yueqing thought of something: "Was this contract signed with Zhongxing?"

Brand endorsements rarely deal company-to-company; it’s almost always an agency that selects an artist and then uses that artist’s commercial value to negotiate with the brand. Brands aren’t foolish; they will consider the artist’s image value, fan base, potential value, and other comprehensive aspects! To prevent any mishaps from artist slip-ups, they even sign various clauses to prevent accidents.

If the deal is directly with a company, and the company turns around and gives it to an unknown artist, doesn’t that embarrass the brand?

But Yoni’s contract was directly given to Zhongxing?

That’s bizarre...

Director Tang explained: "I thought it was strange too, but... it was preliminarily reviewed by President Jiang."

Teacher Jiang reviewed it?

Nonsense!

The teacher is obviously digging a pit for herself because she’s afraid she’s living too comfortably!

If this cooperation is really agreed upon, who knows how long the teacher would laugh at her?

Yan Yueqing didn’t immediately give an answer. She pondered for two seconds and especially asked, "Did Director Tang ever think about who we would give the spot to if this contract is signed?"

Director Tang hesitated for a moment: "Well... we could arrange it according to the current contract level of the artists, or negotiate it internally."

The artist’s contract level?

"After Zhongxing purged the company’s pests during the drug test incident, there aren’t that many artists left. Currently, the only ones with S-level contracts are Meng Chengchu and Meng Yinge. Then there’s Li Manman with an A-level contract, and the rest, since they’re not very outstanding, are mostly B and C-level contracts."

Yan Yueqing slowly analyzed: "According to the contract level, the company ultimately has to decide whether it goes to Meng Chengchu or Meng Yinge? If it’s an internal application, what do those B and C-grade contract artists have to contend with the S-grade?"

In fact, this kind of pattern is normal in any entertainment company!

But Zhongxing is different.

As a giant ship that just went through so much turbulence and barely managed to lift its backbone to resist external enemies together. If it disintegrates internally now, with the old artists gone and the new ones not yet trained... no matter how well the other departments do, it’s putting the cart before the horse!

A high-end luxury brand contract is mere icing on the cake for Zhongxing.

But if it causes internal problems, then that’s big trouble.

Besides, the contract itself has pitfalls!

It’s not that she wants to assume the worst about Yoni’s brand, but what if?

If there’s another issue, the one that takes heavy damage will definitely be Zhongxing, not Yoni.

Director Tang understood, his face taut.

Yan Yueqing said, "It’s just a contract, no need to overly concern yourself."

The implication was to abandon the cooperation with the Yoni brand.

Director Tang understood: "Okay, I will personally interface with them on this."

The cooperation is impossible now, but some superficial work still needs to be done, something Director Tang is quite skilled at.

Yan Yueqing placed the document on the table: "No rush, letting them wait for a few days with such a contract is no big deal. Since you’re rarely in Chunyue City, I want to introduce someone to you."

Director Tang looked up: "Is it that President Zhou?"

Yan Yueqing glanced at the clock on the wall: "Yes, if we calculate the time, he should be arriving soon."
