And they are paid according to the 16th grade salary for full-time students.

For more than 500 first-level contracted artists, that's 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.

Together with other contracted craftsmen, the monthly expenditure is less than 100,000 yuan.

In the 1970s and 1980s, this was no small sum of money.

"Lao Niu, how are you doing over there?" Zhang Junping looked at Niu Wensheng again and asked.

"Mr. Liu and the others have all signed contracts. In addition, Mr. Liu also helped introduce 46 veteran artists.

Two hundred and thirty-five young and spiritual craftsmen have also signed up.”

"Well! Young craftsmen over there have also temporarily stopped signing contracts. Unless they are particularly outstanding talents, they can sign contracts with exceptions.

Section Chief Chen, your business development department needs to make it clear to the people below.

Only exceptionally outstanding talents can sign contracts with me or Secretary Wu for approval," Zhang Junping emphasized.

"Understood!" Chen Lijun and Niu Wensheng nodded in agreement.

"Lao Lu, how is everyone's passport application?"

"It should be soon. I'll call and ask the bureau later." Lu Guozhong said quickly.

"Lao Lu, because we had an exchange meeting, I didn't rush you.

Now that the exchange meeting is over, you have to hurry up and complete the procedures for going abroad.

Regarding the relationship within the bureau, you should move around when you need to." Zhang Junping reminded.

"I know, manager!

Because of the exchange meeting before, I didn’t rush them. Once the meeting was over, I went to rush them.

No, I will ask the leaders of the bureau office to come out to communicate in the evening." Lu Guozhong said with a smile.

"Well!" Zhang Junping nodded and looked at Zheng Dongmei, "Chief Zheng, it's the end of the month again.

After this assessment paper comes out, show it to me first.

Don’t ask questions as simple as last time.”

"Manager! This time is definitely not easy. I have communicated with the training teacher again and again.

The test paper has come out and I will bring it to you in a moment." Zheng Dongmei promised.

"Okay!" Zhang Junping nodded.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lou, please hurry up and make the special issue.

We also need to publish our first issue as soon as possible.

Other versions can wait a little longer, and the simplified Chinese version and the traditional Chinese version must be made as soon as possible." Zhang Junping looked at Lu Zhaode and Lou Xinying and said.

"Understood, manager, we will try to come up with a sample magazine for you to review within a week."

"Yeah!" Zhang Junping nodded.

In the morning meeting, Zhang Junping went through each department, explaining what should be explained and what should be reminded.

After finishing, Zhang Junping looked at Wu Xinping who was sitting next to him: "Master, please see if there is anything else you want to explain."

"I don't have anything to do here. It's just what you said last time about signing contracts for old artists. How are you considering it?" Wu Xinping asked slowly.

"Oh! Let's discuss this alone later.

Do you have anything else to do? If nothing else, the meeting will be dismissed.

Section Chief Chen and Lao Niu will stay, and you can go and do whatever else you have to do." After Zhang Junping and Wu Xinping explained something, they decisively adjourned the meeting.

When only Wu Xinping, Chen Lijun and Niu Wensheng were left in the office, Zhang Junping said: "Most old artists, because they have become famous and are engaged in art, do not like to be restrained. All of them rejected our offer.

Sign the contract.

I have thought about this matter for a long time, and based on the actual situation, I plan to create a separate Honor contract.

This item is only for level 8 and level 9 artists, other levels cannot enjoy it.

As long as you submit one piece of work to us every month, you can enjoy the next level of publicity resources.

In other words, ninth-level glory artists can enjoy the publicity resources of eighth-level contracted artists; eighth-level glory artists can enjoy the publicity resources of seventh-level contracted artists.

Of course, as honorary artists, they do not enjoy monthly subsidies and guarantees.

Likewise, we do not restrict them from selling their work to others.

This is an idea of ​​mine. Master, Sister Chen, Lao Niu, please see if there are any improvements or omissions."

The previous contract was exclusivity, which meant that after signing the contract, you could not sell your work to anyone else.

No matter how high the other party’s bid is, it won’t work.

Otherwise, you will have to pay liquidated damages and be banned from the market by the art company.

Honoring artists means that without exclusivity, resources will naturally decrease accordingly.

There is no other way.

At present, these old artists are still the mainstream of the market, and they will be the mainstream of the market even in the next twenty or thirty years.

Therefore, Zhang Junping could only bite the bullet and find a way to get them into the car.

"I feel pretty good, quite comprehensive." Chen Lijun was the first to express her opinion.

"I'm afraid they may not be satisfied with this contract," Wu Xinping said.

"Master, it depends on you and Section Chief Chen's ability.

Sign as many as possible.

I never thought about signing them all.

If I can sign one-third or even one-fifth, I will be satisfied." Zhang Junping said with a smile.

The main reason is that there are too few resources that art companies can use now, whether it is media promotion resources or zz resources.

You can't impress them, and you can't influence their destiny.

However, Zhang Junping was not in a hurry and took his time.

You look down on me today, and I will be out of reach for you tomorrow.

Anyone who does not even sign an honorary artist contract will be blocked from all promotional resources of the art company in the future.

I'm not a bad person, I won't step on you, but I can ignore you.

See if you feel uncomfortable or not.

I don't have the resources to help you get promoted.

However, I can increase the promotion of your competitors.

Don't underestimate a little publicity. When they reach their status, their artistic attainments are almost the same.

Who is better than whom? What is better is not skill, but reputation.

Don't look at these old artists, they are very affectionate after meeting.

In fact, behind the scenes, competition is very fierce.

The further up you go, the fewer places there are.

They are also old artists, and they are also divided into nationally famous artists, nationally famous art classes, world-famous artists, and world-famous artists.

However, the competition among literati cannot be seen with swords and swords and bloodshed.

The only thing is, if you hold an art exhibition today, then I will hold a seminar tomorrow.

You were invited by Little Book to give an academic report, then I will go to Bald Eagle to hold an art exhibition.

Are there any artists who are indifferent to fame and fortune?

Yes, very few! Very few! Extremely rare!

Therefore, Zhang Junping has the confidence that as long as he signs one-fifth or even one-tenth of the old artists, he can make the remaining people feel uncomfortable and regretful.

The four people discussed for a long time and improved some detailed terms before Zhang Junping asked Chen Lijun to go back and come up with a new contract version.

"Master, do you think we should ask the bureau or the city for a printing shop?

Or we can buy an advanced printing press from abroad and build one ourselves." After Chen Lijun and Niu Wensheng left, Zhang Junping said to Wu Xinping.

"Why do we need a printing factory?" Wu Xinping couldn't keep up with Zhang Junping's thinking.

"Look!

Our two magazines will be released soon, so we can’t always go to another printing house, right?

Also, we are backed by the big tree of the Press and Publication Bureau.

Publishing and printing have unique conditions.

We can absolutely publish some albums.
