Chapter 289: I want you to hang yourself from a tree
You Zi poems read carefully one by one.
There are many clauses on the contract, some of which are very detailed, and some of them are relatively thick, to put it bluntly, it is very simple, that is, the terms are quite detailed for the interests of the company, and the terms for the welfare of artists are relatively large and vague.
All the terms can be summed up in three words: deed of sale.
"Director Wang, what is this?"
"Contract, what's the matter, I'm so happy that I can't even recognize the words? Sign it soon, and a few bosses will come over later, ...... to discuss the purchase of songs."
"If I sign it, it's an official artist of SM Company, right?"
"Hmm!"
"All my actions are controlled by the company, right? Whether I attend events or sing songs on stage is up to the company, and I don't have the right to refuse no matter what physical or emotional problems I have in private, right?"
"Hey, what do you want to do so much? SM Company is a star museum, everyone can't wait to sharpen their heads and squeeze in, what are you hesitating about!"
"It's the museum that is terrible, the star has become a model in the window, losing his personality and self, losing his original edges and emotions, and becoming a money-making tool and wax figure ......"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Oh, I'm trying to ask, is this contract dead, or is it flexible, can it be modified for the purpose?"
"Modification?"
"Well, I don't think ten years is too long, according to this contract, if I am signed into your company, if the publicity effect is not good, there will basically be no follow-up publicity and promotion, and I can't seek other suitable channels and development by myself, which is equivalent to being hidden, so that ten years of time will not be wasted......"
"You can't think like that, you have to think about looking forward, first of all, you have to believe in your own ability, and then you have to believe in our company's ability, our company is equivalent to the largest platform in the industry, as long as the artist has basic ability, it will definitely be able to take off on our platform......"
"That being said, but there is no clear enough agreement on the fairness of this recommendation, just a general and vague sentence or two, in which the space for operation is too great, and besides, there is one more point I have some questions, whether I have been popular under the company's packaging in the past ten years, and whether there is any further publicity after testing the water, the contract is bound, and all the songs I wrote during this period belong to the company, which is obviously a little unreasonable......
As an artist, you only need to think about how to create works, sing well, and participate in programs, you only need to do these well, and our company is the leading platform at home and abroad, and those cumbersome aspects such as artist publicity and promotion, brokerage and commercial performances do not need to worry about artists at all, this is actually to ensure that artists can devote themselves wholeheartedly to artistic creation......
"Well, it's good to protect the artist's creative space, but the songs I created during the contract period belong to the company, which is a bit unreasonable, right? The songs I wrote for the company can belong to the company and sell the copyright, but as the creator itself, I at least have the right to retain the use of my works, if I don't want to sell them, and I don't agree to sell them, how can they be owned by the company?"
"This won't work. The contract stipulates that all original songs written by the singer during the contract period must be owned by the company, and the company has full authority to act as the copyright of all songs!"
"Can this be changed?"
"Just kidding! Who do you think you are! This contract is dead and impossible to change. Even if it's a big name, the contract is the same. In fact, this is also for the unified management of the company, otherwise, each singer will forcibly hold the copyright of his own song in his own hands, as a threat, and sit on the ground to raise the price, so how does the company still operate, how to carry out the work?"
"The contract is dead, but the person is alive, Director Wang, is this contract really the same for everyone?
"Nope. Director Wang obviously felt that this newcomer had a lot of questions, and felt impatient, and answered quite categorically.
"So, may I ask if the duration of the contract can be shortened a little?" asked Youzishi.
For the company, of course, the longer the time you want to sign the contract, the better, in this way, if the artist is popular, the harder he works for the company, the more profitable the company will be, if the artist is not popular, it doesn't matter, anyway, it won't matter if you lose a few money, you just need to hide it, at least it will be tied up, and it will not be a threat to the company, and if he wants to leave, he will either wait for the contract time to expire, or he will hand over a large amount of liquidated damages, otherwise don't want to exchange for a free body.
Therefore, for artists, signing such a contract means betting on the most brilliant period of their lives as gambling money, betting on a future, becoming a big hit, naturally having nothing to say, if it doesn't work, if it doesn't work, the company is too lazy to bird you, at this time it is very painful, but there is no good way, you can only die or hang on this big tree, it is difficult to change to other forests to live again.
Because the price is too high. It's not just wealth that is lost, but a lot of good and important times.
How many peak decades can an artist have?
Once the creation makes people and encounters suppression, ten years of time will pass quickly, and it is really difficult to regain one's strength and start all over again.
"No, you can't. Director Wang replied bluntly, as if the young man in front of him did not look like his own company wanted to sign him, but as if he was kneeling and crying and begging the company to sign him, with a domineering, disdainful and disdainful face.
"I'm sorry, then you let me think about it first!" You Zishi was too lazy to worry too much about this kind of guy with a face, and she stopped making a noise after saying this, just as the thing on the other side didn't exist.
When Director Wang saw that the task sent to him by Zheng Shijia could not be completed, he immediately felt a little annoyed and shouted: "Hey, you still have to think about it? Do you know that our work is very busy? How can we have time to accompany you every day to worry about this little thing? You have to sign a quick sign, if you don't sign, you will pull it down, I will give you half an hour! After today, tomorrow will not wait!"
"......" You Zishi has long annoyed him with his arrogant attitude, but at this time, he is not in a hurry, just treat him as the one who does not care about him.
You can be as crazy as you like, I'll take care of you.
It's all little people, why do you have to pretend to be in front of me?
