Chapter 20: The Pitfalls in Contracts (I)

Gimhae Conservatory of Music.

"Hello Mr. Li!" Liu Ruoyi carried all the draft contracts on her back and took a vacuum-packed Peking duck to Li Jingyao's office at the Jinhai Conservatory of Music.

"Thanks to the teacher's cultivation, the students are fortunate to live up to their lives and finally have a little achievement. This is the Peking duck that the student brought you, I don't know if it suits your appetite?"

If it weren't for the apprenticeship with Professor Li Jingyao, Liu Ruoyi's journey to the Youth Song Contest would not have been so smooth, no one knows how many good seedlings have been buried in the qualifiers, but as long as you look at Zhu Xiaoqi's tortuous promotion path, and then compare your own promotion journey, it is really a world of difference.

Not to mention the intensive training experience of Beijing TV Station with the help of Senior Sister Liu Yang, which is completely impossible without Li Jingyao. This shows how important it is to find a good teacher like Li Jingyao.

This vacuum-packed Peking duck almost spent all the money Liu Ruoyi carried, no, she was too poor, and she couldn't afford other expensive gifts, if it weren't for Liu Yang to win her travel support from the TV station, Liu Ruoyi wouldn't have the money to stay until the finals.

"Yiyi, this Youth Song Contest performed well, just based on the performance of the singing session, the teacher will give you 99 points," Li Jingyao smiled and took the roast duck, he valued a student's mind more than a gift, of course the roast duck is not worth a few dollars, but he can still remember himself in the case of so many things in the capital, which is very heartfelt. "The teacher deducts one point because he is afraid that you will be proud. ”

"You haven't had lunch yet, let's go, today the teacher invites you to have a big meal to celebrate your return from winning the championship. Li Jingyao was obviously very interested, Liu Ruoyi could remember the feelings, and he came to visit him so quickly, which shows that his character did not say anything.

Of course, the number of students who signed up to learn singing skills in one of his training institutions has skyrocketed, so that now they have to control the selection is also an important reason, and the 30,000 yuan senior star singing skills training class has recruited 40 students who are eager to become famous like Liu Ruoyi, which is not enough for outsiders.

A good student who has become famous brings not only a false name, but also a real lucrative profit.

"Thank you, teacher!" Liu Ruoyi didn't squirm, although she should have invited this meal, but who told her to be poor now, if it weren't for the 6,000 yuan bonus brought by Senior Sister Liu Yang, she would probably have to gnaw on steamed buns for a month? But it doesn't matter, such days will pass soon, she is not afraid that she will not have the opportunity to repay the teacher, and she does not have to rob this treat.

Gimhae University Western Restaurant.

While waiting for the food to be served, Li Jingyao quickly read the contract brought by Liu Ruoyi.

As a student, he really knows how to use his time, visit and do things correctly, Li Jingyao now admires Liu Ruoyi a little, such a person, if he doesn't succeed, it's really unreasonable.

The semi-enclosed booth of the western restaurant they chose, due to the high price compared to the students, not many people came at the moment, which was suitable for two people to discuss.

"Yiyi, have you thought about it first, what are your plans?" Li Jingyao asked solemnly, "The champion of the Youth Song Contest gave you a good starting step, but it was only a step. ”

"This bowl of rice in the entertainment industry is not easy to eat. Especially for singing, the domestic genuine environment is not very good, even if it is a good golden song, it is not easy to make money by releasing records alone. ”

"I understand, but I'm determined to get into the entertainment industry. Liu Ruoyi nodded, of course she knew what Li Jingyao said, and with the popularization of computers and the popularization of smart phones in the future, the genuine record market will be even more bleak, and almost no one can make money, but Liu Ruoyi has no choice, only by entering this industry can she develop rapidly, not to mention, with a vision of 20 years ahead, she knows where to make money.

"Okay, now that you've decided, let's talk about how to do it. Li Jingyao nodded, he also understands the minds of young people now, and there are many people who want to become famous overnight and make a fortune, like Liu Ruoyi can be stable, and he is already very old if he doesn't sign a contract in the capital and come back. "Whether it is choosing an acting path or signing a contract, it is a very serious matter, have you discussed this matter with your family?

"Home?" Liu Ruoyi heard this word, feeling a little distant and unfamiliar, this physical ex's home, it seems that the impression left on the ex is a kind of indifference and ambiguity except for some painful memories, as if he is reluctant to mention it, since he went to college, it seems that there is no connection except for returning to his hometown once.

"I'm an adult and have the right to make my own decisions. Liu Ruoyi came back to her senses, "Don't talk about this, teacher, I look at the contracts of each family, and the biggest difference is the scope of the contract and the sharing of benefits, why is this happening?"

Liu Ruoyi got the draft contract, some of which were given as all-performing arts contracts, which means that in the future, all Liu Ruoyi's performing arts activities, singing, concerts, advertising endorsements, film and television dramas, announcements, variety shows, and even participating in some ribbon-cutting ceremonies are all included, and some are just singing and film and television dramas.

"To put it simply, this is because different companies have different evaluations of your future achievements," Seeing that Liu Ruoyi was reluctant to mention the family, Li Jingyao knew that the child might not be happy at home, and maybe there were some unspeakable secrets, so he didn't mention it again, "If you are very confident in the comprehensive development of film and television songs in the future, then of course you are willing to sign a full-acting contract, which can ensure that you will become popular in the future and get a share of the income you earn." Of course, to sign such a contract, the company also has to invest resources. ”

"You see, this Longteng culture promises to help you release at least one album every year for the first three years. Take the main supporting role of a film and television drama and participate in more than one popular variety show, such an investment is considerable, the production fee and publicity fee of an album, to say the least, is 2 million smaller, this is only the basic publicity cost of the radio list, if you go on TV or newspaper publicity, you have to add money; and the newcomer takes the opportunity to play the main supporting role, this depends on the boss's connections and ability, if you rely on throwing money to get in, then it is possible to get it by investing at least 5 million or more; and on the popular variety show, the newcomer will only spend money in the early stage, and will not make money. ”

Although Li Jingyao is in school, he has his own business, and he has not been out of touch with the industry, of course, these joints are clear, "You see in this way, plus the usual packaging and publicity, buying media articles, and giving you an annual guarantee fee of 500,000 yuan, they spend tens of millions on you a year, this is really optimistic that you will be popular in the future to burn money like this, so they must ask for a full contract, because they can make a lot of money in the future, advertising endorsements and concerts, These are the main things about big movies, relatively speaking, selling records is to gain exposure, attract fans, and generally strive to make a few millions, thank God. ”

"With such a big investment, of course the company's expectations are very high, you see that their revenue share is three or seven, you are three companies seven, and the company has to let the company take the big head, and the contract is signed for ten years, and the liquidated damages are as high as 30 million, which basically binds you completely to this company, which is equivalent to selling all the golden age of your acting career to their family. ”
