"You're kidding me, aren't you?"

After these days of contact, Cao Fangfang also roughly understood Mi Yanxi's character, he was a half-grown child, and he had inexplicable respect for himself, he never dared to make any jokes, he was just instinctively incredulous: "What about kidding?"

Mi Yanxi sighed and said, "No kidding. ”

Cao Fang probably guessed what was going on, and he was a fool who was cheated by the slave contract of the brokerage company.

"I didn't understand it when I first signed the contract, but I thought that since this company has a cooperative program with a TV station, it shouldn't lie to me, right? I have nothing to deceive...... Things have to start a year ago, at that time I just graduated from high school, except for singing and dancing, I didn't have any other skills, I wanted to learn to be a chef, I cook well, but people are always dissatisfied, and what I am good at and what I am interested in are often not the same thing, I thought it would be good if I could be a star, and stars make more money......"

Mi Yanxi said weakly about how he was fooled into being a trainee, because this kid didn't have any point in speaking, so he started from Pangu again...... Cao Fangfang forcibly corrected the progress of the narrative several times, referred to as knocking on the brain, and he finally explained things clearly with the help of ordinary people.

To put it simply, Mi Yanxi, like most children who have no way to enter the circle, but have a bit of appearance and talent, has no hope of applying for the acting school normally, so he debuted through some talent shows, and he is taking the path of a trainee.

That kind of brokerage company makes a hammer deal, saves a group of fresh male and female newcomers, stirs up popularity through TV shows, and then squeezes it desperately, and throws it away like garbage when it makes enough money.

They pay salaries to their artists, and what Mi Yanxi gets can only be regarded as the minimum income standard in Jianghai City, and there will be a certain commission for going out to perform, but it is pitiful, and the average income may only be three or four thousand yuan per month.

Although the vast majority of netizens criticize artists for doing less and making more money all day long, there is one thing to say, basically there is no artist who does not work hard, if you look at the actor's line, the average sleep during filming is only about five hours, and the hard work on the surface includes filming and running around notices, and the hidden amount of labor is a huge emotional consumption.

To use a simple analogy, the front desk of many large companies seems to be very leisurely, but after work they don't even have the strength to speak, and the other employees of the same company always think that these girls are hypocritical, and they don't do anything for a day, as if they are the most tired people in the world.

This is the exertion of emotional energy, which is far more exhausting than ordinary physical labor.

In some jobs, the main job responsibility is to laugh, politely receive customers, and after work, you can really be so tired that your toes are too lazy to move.

Actors don't mention it, in fact, all such people who can be called stars are packaging themselves almost every day and acting in front of people every day to ensure that they meet the character design and are glamorous, after all, saying the wrong word in front of the camera is enough to be doomed.

This state of holding a string at all times consumes emotional energy ten times higher than that of the front desk and customer service.

This is also why the entertainment industry is a high incidence of mental illness, and why many celebrities can't restrain their temper.

It's just that the audience doesn't need to understand them and doesn't want to understand.

Cao Fang actually thinks the same way, there is a price for everything, hard work is the price, being scolded and being wronged is the same price.

And trainees like Mi Yanxi, their idol characteristics are too heavy, and they need to disguise themselves, and they need a lot of time to rehearse, sing and dance, and the amount of pure physical labor is much greater than that of a star with a high degree of freedom like Cao Fangfang.

At the same time, insiders, Cao Fangfang can fully imagine how much work Mi Yanxi usually does as a trainee, so he can also understand that this somewhat feminine child often breaks down and cries.

With this kind of workload, they earn more than 10,000 yuan a month when they go to first-tier cities to deliver takeaways......

"How much is the liquidated damages?" asked Cao Fangfang.

"20 million per year, compensation for three years, 60 million. Mi Yanxi said with a bitter face: "I couldn't take out 6,000 yuan at that time, how dare I break the contract." ”

"So Sister Chen came to save you. ”

"yes!"

Mi Yanxi said excitedly: "There have been other brokerage companies that have secretly contacted me before, but my agent has threatened us, saying that it is a breach of contract to contact other brokerage companies privately, so I have always kept the rules...... But Sister Chen's magical powers are so powerful, she still overcame all obstacles and tried her best to find a way to create a top-secret communication environment!

Cao Fang couldn't help but wonder: "What...... A top-secret communication environment?"

"Men's restroom at the Mercedes-Benz Center!"

“……”

It was not difficult for Chen Yaman to convince Mi Yanxi at that time.

In fact, at least half of the sky-high liquidated damages of tens of millions are bluffing, that is, bullying brainless elementary school students.

If you want to go to the court to file a lawsuit, the court will not simply determine that all the terms of the contract have legal effect simply because Mi Yanxi signed the contract.

The reasonable range of liquidated damages is usually calculated according to the cost of the agency to train the artist, and will not exceed too much...... It's just that many things can't be solved simply through the law, otherwise it will really provoke the company, and release all kinds of black materials in minutes to make Mi Yanxi black, and the price of the asset that Chen Yaman bought will be greatly discounted.

In the end, they negotiated a private mediation, and Mi Yanxi still divided it into three years, and compensated his old club according to the 10% commission of his income from working in Liumeng Studio in the past three years.
