Chapter 8 Large-scale job hopping
Early the next morning, Ran Xixi woke up before seven o'clock, cleaned up briefly, and went downstairs directly.
She knew that Zhan Xingchuan shouldn't get up at this time, so that the two of them wouldn't have to meet each other, and they would be embarrassed to look at each other. tiptoed out of the villa, and before leaving, Ran Xixi took a special look at the garage and found that he didn't get up, but didn't return all night.
No wonder, from last night until the second half of the night, she didn't hear the sound of a car outside, and it turned out that Zhan Xingchuan didn't come back.
After going out, Ran Xixi walked a long way before finally getting into a taxi.
She went to the city, found a restaurant, went in for breakfast, and searched the Internet for information while eating, hoping to find a lawyer who could help her. Ran Xixi knew very well that it was basically impossible to expect Lu Qinghuan to introduce a lawyer to her, and his tone last night had already explained everything.
Perhaps, he also hopes that she can officially divorce Zhan Xingchuan and return to being single, but not now, not at this juncture, he doesn't want anything to affect his business and reputation.
There is no exproachable fact that people are selfish.
Ran Xixi wrote down several law firms, but fortunately, they were not far apart, and he could contact and meet with them one by one.
After breakfast, she started on the phone.
Many lawyers like to fight divorce lawsuits, because the conflicts in most families are basically the same, and the conflicts of most divorced couples are also the same. Relatively speaking, the only thing that is more difficult is two points, first, the division of property, and second, the custody of children.
Therefore, when Ran Xixi said that she was ready to divorce her husband, almost every lawyer asked her to come to the law firm in person, and the two sides talked about the details in person.
She didn't expect everything to go so smoothly, so she hurried to the first one.
The place where I agreed to meet with the lawyer was a casual business bar in the office building where the law firm was located, with an elegant environment and good privacy, which was very convenient for the lawyer and the agent to conduct preliminary negotiations.
When Ran Xixi arrived, there were already some people sitting in different positions in twos and threes, chatting softly.
Soon, she met the lawyer with whom she had been talking on the phone, and at first, everything was fine. However, when Ran Xixi reported herself to the door and directly stated that her husband was Zhan Xingchuan, the lawyer sitting opposite obviously showed a trace of restlessness.
"Zhan Xingchuan. Is it the president of the Zhan clan? ”
The lawyer sat up straight and asked with a wary expression, his eyes full of suspicion.
If it was really the one, his wife ran out alone and privately found a lawyer to fight a divorce lawsuit with him. , It's impossible, and it's said that he and his ex-wife have been divorced for several years, and some time ago it was rumored that he was about to get married again, so why did a woman who claimed to be Zhan Xingchuan's wife suddenly run out.
"It's Him"
Ran Xixi also saw the lawyer's strange appearance, and she added anxiously: "You listen to me, the thing is like this, in fact, me and him"
Before she could finish speaking, the lawyer, who was quite patient before, had already hurriedly got up, bent down and quickly cleaned up the notebook and pen on the table, and said quickly: "I'm sorry, I forgot before, in fact, my court date has been full recently, and I really can't spare time to take on the case again, the main thing is not to waste your time." Please find another master, thank you for your understanding, I'll go first. ”
After that, the lawyer had already fled and left.
Ran Xixi was still a little dazed, and he didn't understand why he just left.
She sat for a moment, thought for a moment, and dialed another lawyer's phone number.
In order to save time, Ran Xixi specially chose a lawyer from the same law firm, and his information also said that he was good at fighting divorce cases and could help the agent fight for rights and interests to the greatest extent.
The two chatted on the phone, and she told the lawyer that she was here and asked him to come over.
What happened next was basically the same as before: it was all good at first, and when the lawyer tried to write down the name of the other party, he was completely stunned.
Then, they fled in the wilderness.
Ran Xixi did not believe in evil, and after leaving this office building, he went to another law firm.
The situation is still the same, no one dares to take her case.
She didn't try a third time, because she knew very well that unless someone was willing to help her, she wouldn't even be able to find a lawyer. Ran Xixi sat on the sofa and stared out the window in a daze. Not far away is a construction site, is building a number of office buildings, reinforced concrete concrete, cranes, forklifts and cranes The whole city is in a tense and busy atmosphere, every small person in it, will unconsciously speed up the pace of life, can no longer slow down.
I don't know how long she sat before she remembered that she promised to go to Lu Qinghuan at noon, so she hurried to Jiahuang Entertainment.
Although he was not a member of the group, as soon as he stepped into the company, Ran Xixi still noticed a strange atmosphere.
During the special period, she didn't want to get involved in right and wrong, so Ran Xixi walked into the elevator with her head down, and went straight to Lu Qinghuan's office, trying to avoid meeting other employees, she didn't want to see a pair of eyes full of curiosity, although curiosity was common to everyone, she still didn't want to become someone else's private conversation, repeatedly appearing in other people's mouths.
When Ran Xixi arrived upstairs, he found that Lu Qinghuan was still in a meeting.
"The meeting didn't end on time, Miss Ran, please wait a while, Mr. Law will come back later. ”
It was Emily who received Ran Xixi, who handed over a cup of coffee and explained softly.
After taking the coffee and hesitating for a moment, Ran Xixi still took the initiative to ask: "Is there something wrong with the company?" When I went upstairs just now, I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right, as if people were panicking. ”
She is also a person who has worked in a large group for several years, and she is still relatively sensitive to changes in the workplace.
Emily sighed and replied frankly: "Miss Ran, you are not an outsider, I will tell you the truth, yes, there is indeed a problem with the company." Speaking of which, it is actually related to Qiu Yibai, she breached the contract herself, and also encouraged her agent Molly, as well as several other agents, to change jobs together. Each agent has a few to a dozen artists, each artist has a different positioning, different talents, and even different attitudes and efforts towards work, so in terms of investment, the company's treatment is also different. As a result, some artists are dissatisfied with the company and think that they are not taken seriously. With the help of this broker job-hopping, they also planned to leave the company together, and their attitude was very resolute, and everyone said that they would leave even if they paid liquidated damages. ”
"I'd rather lose money than leave. ”
Ran Xixi couldn't help but be taken aback.
It stands to reason that although artists and brokerage companies are in a cooperative relationship and are prosperous, in the current abnormal growth process of the entertainment industry, the vast majority of artists dare not offend the brokerage company, do not want to be hidden, let alone be marginalized and ignored. So, basically, unless the company goes too far, the average artist will even choose to swallow his anger, no matter what, and survive the contract period.
However, it is all too rare to have a situation like the current situation, where you don't want money and would rather leave.
"Yes, even if it is a third-tier artist, the liquidated damages are not a small amount. Therefore, the company's crisis this time is still relatively serious, although the liquidated damages are paid, but it means that a large number of artists are lost, and the company is empty by one-third. ”
Emily nodded, and then she and Ran Xixi made a settlement.
Although these artists are not as popular as first-line artists, they are also constantly making film appointments, and once the contract is terminated, there will be big problems in the follow-up, especially there are several major plays invested by Jiahuang Entertainment itself, and it may be that even the casting will be very tricky.
"These people are actually wallgrass, not to mention losing money. So, I think somebody is inciting them, or promising them some very tempting benefits. ”
After Ran Xixi listened, he immediately grasped the key to the matter.
No one will choose to change jobs, you know, job hopping is not necessarily the better you jump, the higher you jump. Especially artists, it can be said that they eat youth, they missed the opportunity when they were young, and there are a few who will only exert their strength after middle age and become an instant hit. Therefore, for them, it must be a very difficult decision to choose to give up the big tree of Jiahuang Entertainment.
It's either money or attitude, there's always one of those reasons.
"The new company they want to sign, who is the boss. ”
It occurred to her that and she wondered who had given them so much courage.
Emily smiled bitterly: "Qiu Yibai." ”
It seems that she really didn't brag, after leaving Jiahuang Entertainment, Qiu Yibai had to go it alone, and even did not hesitate to tear her face with her old club and sing against the stage.
"What about the money. Does she have that much money. ”
Ran Xixi was extremely puzzled.
Even if Qiu Yibai has made a lot of money over the years, after all, she has a contract on her, and most of the money is still taken away by the company, she can only get a small part, and it is impossible to have such a huge capital chain in a few years.
Doing film and television is to burn money, burn it in the early stage, and can't keep up in the later stage, it is a complete loss. If you don't want to lose money, there is only one way, continue to invest money. Therefore, the integrity of the capital chain is the most important, once disconnected, all previous efforts are gone.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Ran Xixi's questioning, Emily stopped talking, as if she didn't know whether to say it or how to say it.
