Chapter 138 – Mo Xiaojuan’s Idea
In fact, Yang Yi felt a little awkward being alone with Mo Xiaojuan.
It should be known that Mo Xiaojuan was at odds with his predecessor before. Mo Xiaojuan also believed that her cousin was delayed by Yang Yi, and there were big problems in the relationship between Mo Fei and Yang Yi, so her view of Yang Yi has always been extreme.
Yang Yi also didn’t like this woman who made a face1at him when he first came to this world!
But who made Mo Xiaojuan be Mo Fei ‘s cousin? As she was half sister-in-law, Yang Yi couldn’t treat her coldly.
Now, Mo Xiaojuan, who has always been uncongenial in front of him, actually wanted to talk to him alone, and it also looked like she wanted to discuss an important matter, which was too strange!
When Mo Xiaojuan saw Yang Yi hesitating and not speaking, she was worried: “Brother-in-law, my elder sister told me that you wrote ‘Soldier Assault’ and ‘Drawing Sword’. The two bestsellers have definitely made you a lot of money!”
Yang Yi wasn’t concerned about the money. He was hesitating about how to talk to Mo Xiaojuan and what tone to use.
“It’s okay. It’s possible that by the end of this month, I will get more than 7 million yuan in income.” Yang Yi decided not to regard Mo Xiaojuan as Mo Xiaojuan, and communicate with her normally.
“So many!” Mo Xiaojuan’s eyes lit up, and she said, “This could work. Brother-in-law, if you could save for two or three months, that would be enough!”
Is this girl’s tone of voice not as distant as before?
Yang Yi asked curiously, “What are you going to do?”
“It’s not what I’m going to do!” Mo Xiaojuan said excitedly, “but what my sister is going to do!”
“What Mo Fei is going to do?” Yang Yi was a little confused.
Whatever Mo Fei was going to do, or if she was short of money, why not just directly tell him? Why tell it through Mo Xiaojuan?
Yang Yi quickly understood that this was actually a small misunderstanding.
Mo Xiaojuan shook her head, sighed and said, “Ai, brother-in-law, you don’t know how my elder sister is treated in the current agency…”
Yang Yi really didn’t know much about Mo Fei’s current situation, but from the emails between “Mu Li’ang” and Mo Fei, he could see that Mo Fei’s situation wasn’t good. Why was it that the company wasn’t helping and why was it that the singer has to collect the songs for a whole album by herself?
In Mo Xiaojuan’s narration, which she added some exaggerated details2, Yang Yi understood Mo Fei’s current situation of being sidelined at her agency, and her boss’s intention to suppress Mo Fei to sign a more stringent contract.
“My elder sister has a rigid and stubborn thinking3. She felt that since Sister Ling was good to her before, she didn’t want to make their relationship very stiff!” Mo Xiaojuan curled her lips and said angrily, “but she doesn’t know what kind of person Sister Ling is!”
“Yes, when my sister made achievements in the past, she was the only big star in the whole company. Of course, Sister Ling held her in the palm of her hand and protected her. Now, my elder sister’s comeback album is selling badly, her face immediately became different! She is a very realistic person. Zhen Muqian is young and beautiful, so she wants to push Zhen Zhen onto the stage and kick my sister away.”
“Anyway, my sister always remembers how others treated her well before, but she can’t see the reality clearly! How do you think the company is treating her now? How many commercial performances and announcements have been arranged that my sister does not want to go to? In the past, as long as my sister hesitated, they didn’t even dare to mention it again! And wasn’t there a scandal some time ago? It’s all arranged by the company in private…” Mo Xiaojuan said bitterly.
Yang Yi frowned deeply. If Mo Xiaojuan didn’t say anything, he really didn’t know that Mo Fei was facing such a situation. He had thought that Mo Fei was flying here and there, just for work!
But now it seemed that she was being bossed around by the company!
“What do you want me to do?” Although Yang Yi was very angry, he didn’t show it. He took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice.
Mo Xiaojuan snapped her fingers and said excitedly, “My idea is to let my sister jump out and set up her own studio. Although getting up early is a little more difficult, the important thing is freedom!”
“But my sister didn’t want to. She was still hesitant and didn’t want to tear face4with Sister Ling.” Mo Xiaojuan shrugged helplessly, “so I want my brother-in-law to open a studio, set up the framework first, and then wait for her contract to expire. When it expired, and Sister Ling wants to renew her contract, we’ll make it clear to her!”
“Brother-in-law, you may not know, but it doesn’t matter how much I say. My sister is very stubborn. But she cares about what you say. As long as you talk to her and say you want to open a family-run shop with my elder sister, my elder sister will definitely not refuse!” Mo Xiaojuan smiled and patted Yang Yi on the shoulder causally. “Of course, not now, not until my sister publishes the album.”
“Why wait? Why not tell Mo Fei to terminate her contract with the company, and then go to our new studio to release the new album?” Yang Yi asked puzzled.
“Do you think it’s free to terminate a contract?” Mo Xiaojuan rolled her eyes. “My sister was the queen of songs. The termination fee will be 40 million yuan! Do you have 40 million?”
40 million was still the value of a popular song five or six years ago. Because Mo Fei later retired, the contract has temporarily not been changed. If put in today’s soaring prices, if a popular song wasn’t marked a termination fee of 100 million to 200 million, it would absolutely be stupid. It would be coveted by the waiting industry giants!
Of course, now that Mo Fei has encountered a failure, it wasn’t worth 40 million at current prices.
“I can borrow, throw money to terminate the contract, and make more money when the money is gone, so she doesn’t need to stay in that company and ruin my mood!” Yang Yi said indifferently. bo𝚟𝚕.
At worst, he could borrow 40 million from Fu Jun, or sold the film and television rights of “Soldier Assault” and “Drawing Sword” at a low price, and then he would transport5several best-selling books to collect money crazily…
I have never heard that the issue of money will stump a reborn person!
“Well, brother-in-law, even if you have 40 million, we don’t need to spend this 40 million here, because I don’t want my sister to terminate the contract early for a reason!” Mo Xiaojuan explained.
“First of all, my sister now needs to use this album to prove herself. Mu Li’ang’s songs are very well written. Even if my elder sister can’t get back to the height she was before she retired, I think it shouldn’t be difficult for my elder sister to become popular again. But running a studio is not just about throwing money at it. If you are not an A-list star, without popularity support and just relying on your own efforts, it is very difficult to compete with big agencies!”
Otherwise, why do many young stars have to endure the exploitation of talent agencies, while the ones who runs their own studios are basically long-established big stars?
“What’s more, Tianmei has the resources we urgently need. If we jump out and open our own studio now, how do we produce records? How do we shoot MVs? What about the sales channel of the album? What about publicity?” Mo Xiaojuan said, “it is impossible for a newly established studio to gather so many resources in a short time!”
Yang Yi has to admit that what Mo Xiaojuan said was very reasonable.
“Therefore, in this year, we have to first set up the framework of the studio, and I will gradually invite the professionals I have known over the years to join us, or recruit or spend money on poaching people. When my elder sister’s contract ends and joins brother-in-law’s studio, she will be able to complete a smooth transition!” Mo Xiaojuan said confidently.
Over the years, she hasn’t been fooling around in the entertainment industry. She has a lot of resources on hand, but it takes time to arrange. Among other things, Mo Xiaojuan made up her mind to secretly dig the corner6of her old employer and persuade Xiao Ai and a group of capable and experienced friends to change jobs.
“Of course!” Mo Xiaojuan snorted and said proudly, “the most important reason is, how can we escape in such a disgraceful way? This album must be released in Tienmei. Moreover, it must achieve good results, so when the time comes, they will be shocked and regret it!”
