"You're crazy, now that you want to terminate the contract, what about the termination fee?" The bald brother was startled, and then lowered his voice and said: "Even if you want to terminate the contract, you have to think about it in the long run." ”

"Of course I know this," Zhou Jin smiled: "I'm just asking you about the possibility, what do you think the consequences will be?"

Zhou Jin is still very happy about the bald brother's reaction.

At least it shows that between the sugar man and himself, the bald guy is more inclined to himself.

Or, the bald brother also retired early?

"If you really want to terminate the contract, there are two ways, one is to terminate the contract peacefully, so that you can get together and disperse, think about this possibility yourself. ”

He just finished filming "Step by Step", which is the rhythm of the fire, how could the sugar man let him go.

The bald brother paused, and then analyzed: "The second is a lawsuit, according to the usual practice, the court will generally allow the termination of the contract, but the artist also has to compensate the company for liquidated damages, about one or two million." ”

(Author's note: The practice here is pre-2015, and in 2015 there was a strange lawsuit that allowed the court to make an exception.) Guess what, this wonder is about to appear. ）

Although when the contract was signed, it was said that the liquidated damages were 5 million, but if it really broke up, the courts of the Celestial Empire would still be more biased towards artists.

Because in the eyes of the court at this time, artists are the vulnerable group that needs to be protected.

But for popular stars, one or two million liquidated damages are just a drizzle, and it will be more beneficial to go it alone or change to a large company after leaving.

Because of this, after 2010, the status comparison between agencies and artists has undergone subtle changes.

As for the artist's departure, the old club blocked it?

In the environment of the Celestial Empire, it is basically impossible to achieve it.

Because the forces in this circle are too scattered, and the interests are intertwined, no one can dominate the family.

Take Zhou Jin as an example, if she really wants to fall out with the sugar man, at most she will not act in their self-made dramas, and the drama outside will basically have no impact.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, he can't get a play outside, pull Huang Bo and them, and make a small-budget movie to brush up the box office, who can control him.

Of course, Zhou Jin didn't want to make such a fuss.

"You haven't saved enough money to start your own business, are you?" the bald man became more and more excited the more he thought about it.

Around 2010, big-name stars such as Fan Xiaopang, Zhou Xun, and Zhang Ziyi left one after another to establish their own studios.

Since then, solo studios have become the first choice for artists.

The right to speak for agents and artists has also undergone a earth-shaking reversal.

Zhou Jin wants to go it alone, and it is reasonable.

And Zhou Jin is not good at management, and his career has just started, so he really wants to go it alone, don't you have to rely on him alone?

"That's not it," Zhou Jin interrupted the bald brother's fantasy and denied it with a smile, "I'm just asking casually." ”

After all, if you know how to terminate the contract, you know how to sign the contract.

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that in his contract with the sugar man, he is the one who has the advantage?

"Sisi?" Zhou Jin returned to the house lightly and found that Liu Sisi had already gotten into bed.

"You sleep on that end," she said, wrapped in the quilt, and pointed dryly to the other side, looking nervous.

Zhou Jin was immediately happy, and ran to Liu Sisi to lie down, "This is my bed, and the quilt is also mine, do you dare to instruct me?"

"No, go away!" Liu Sisi pushed him hard with his teeth and claws.

"Shh," Zhou Jin grabbed her little hand, pointed behind the wall, and whispered, "Brother Bo has already slept." ”

Liu Sisi finally stopped struggling, and lowered his voice and said, "Then you go away." ”

"What are you afraid of," Zhou Jin put his arm around her shoulder, "I won't do anything to you." ”

"Hmph, how dare you?"

"Yes, I don't dare~" Zhou Jin scratched her nose angrily, "Ask you something, how many years have you signed the contract?"

"Five years, right?" Liu Sisi wrinkled his delicate nose and thought for a while, "I signed it on New Year's Day in 07." ”

Zhou Jin said: "Isn't that about to expire?"

"That's right," Liu Sisi leaned sideways, put his cheek on Zhou Jin's chest, and murmured, "Sister K said that she wanted to change the contract for me." ”

"Then are you going to sign it?" Zhou Jin couldn't help but ask, "Or can you open your own studio?"

Liu Sisi raised his head and looked at him strangely, "I'm a little actor, how can I open a studio? ”

"Is Lao Hu going to open a studio?" Zhou Jin originally wanted to say that Hu Ge was not signed with Sugar Man, but after thinking about it, he realized again, "Affiliation, right?"

Liu Sisi nodded slightly, "Yes, he opened the internal studio only when he was so popular." ”

"You're also fast," Zhou Jin said: "When Step by Step is broadcast, you will be popular, and you will be able to open a studio at that time." ”

"Hmm......" Liu Sisi snorted, she didn't care about this at all.

The two snuggled up and were silent for a while, Liu Sisi couldn't help but say, "Your heart is beating so fast." ”

"Nonsense, it's obviously your heartbeat," Zhou Jin stroked her hair, feeling that what she thought was still too simple.

In his last life, he always heard fans say that the sugar man restricted Lao Hu's development and Liu Sisi's development.

But if Hu Ge really opened his own studio early in the morning, just hanging under the name of the sugar man, then his development really can't be blamed on the sugar man.

Liu Sisi is similar.

If Zhou Jin guessed correctly, after the broadcast of "Step by Step", Liu Sisi should open an internal studio, which is the first sister of the sugar man externally, and has quite an independent space internally.

Such conditions are much more advantageous than doing it alone.

Later, the financial report of the sugar man's listing also illustrated this point, and the bulk of the artist's brokerage profits mainly came from Gu Linana.

Hu Ge and Liu Sisi's brokerage income is no longer included.

The Huayi Brothers, who once monopolized half of the artists in the industry, in 2013, the income of artist brokerage, in the proportion of the company's total revenue, has dropped from 20% in 2009 to 8%.

In 2014, the financial report simply did not show this part of the income.

All of this shows that the entire industry is changing dramatically.

In the past, it was the agent who dominated, and in the future, the artist will dominate.

For Zhou Jin, this is naturally the best.

But for a salted fish like Liu Sisi, it is simply equivalent to a salted fish entering the sea and a wave in the waves.

In the past, someone drove her to film, but when she really made her own decisions, wouldn't she have to stay at home until she died?

"What are you thinking?"

Liu Sisi saw that Zhou Jin hadn't moved for a long time, and couldn't help but raise his head, but found that Zhou Jin had closed his eyes and snored slightly.

"Why did you fall asleep?" Liu Sisi pursed his lips with a complicated expression.

Didn't you say that you should sleep on one side?

Why don't you push him down?

No, then he'll wake up.

That woke him up?

No, I heard the director say that he has to film tomorrow, which must be very hard......

Or else, leave it at that?

No one saw it anyway...... Just today for one night.

Liu Si thought for a while and made up his mind, so he gently turned off the light, slipped into Zhou Jin's arms with a red face, pillowed his arm, and closed his eyes tightly.

She didn't notice that when she lay down, Zhou Jin smiled slightly.

Hemp egg, my arm is so sore......
