"Xiao Ya, I don't know how you think about signing the contract?" The staff of the "Singing Female Voice" program team called to inquire. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I haven't thought it through yet, can you give me a little more time to think about it?" Xiao Ya thought that it would be two days before the program team came to confirm with her, but she didn't expect it to be so tight.

"I don't know why you are so reluctant to sign, at this stage, I thought that every player would be very happy and excited to hear that they could sign a contract, but you are an exception!"

The staff said: "Xiao Ya, I want to ask you, what was the reason why you participated in our "Singing Girl" program in the first place? Do you just want to stand on this stage to prove yourself, or do you want to be able to attract the favor of record companies through this platform? ”

When Xiao Ya heard this, she was slightly sorry and said: "I used to want to stand on the stage to prove myself, and I also wanted to enter the entertainment industry through this platform. But now, my mind has changed, and I may not be suitable for an eight-year long contract. Eight years is too much time for me, eight years, I don't have any freedom, I don't want to do this. ”

Xiao Ya told the truth, she just hoped that the contract time could be shorter so that there would be better options in the future.

But a shorter contract isn't a good deal for a record company.

It doesn't matter if the singer is not famous, if the singer becomes popular, but because the contract is short, the contract is not renewed, won't the record company have to eat dirt?

For "Singing Girl", most of the top ten singers in the country have excellent value, and it is worth betting on an eight-year contract for the record company. In fact, as long as a singer signed by the record company can make a name for himself in the country, the company basically makes no money.

The staff also understood what Xiao Ya meant, and persuaded: "There are gains and losses, the eight-year long contract is to think in a different way, in case you can't be popular, then this eight-year long contract is your most basic life guarantee, it is enough for you to live a better life than ordinary people!" ”

"Plus, sign to a record label and you're going to get a full package. I think with your strength, with the record company going all out to package, the future achievements will definitely be extraordinary. But if you don't sign up, who will package you? ”

This is a practical problem, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

Xiao Ya was a little silent, her mood was a little messy, she wanted to play with the record company, but unfortunately her wrists were too shallow and her strength was too weak.

In front of the record company, she only had two options, agree and disagree, and was never qualified to negotiate with the record company.

"Let me think about it again, I think there should be a result in a few days." Xiao Ya said.

The staff was a little reluctant: "This kind of problem, no matter how many days you think about it, it won't help." Tell me, why don't you suddenly want to sign a long-term contract, is it because of emotional problems? ”

The staff smiled: "It seems that yes, a girl of your age will encounter this kind of problem." This is very realistic, but you have to think clearly, if he really loves you, he will definitely be able to wait for you for eight years, but if he is not serious about his feelings, you just sign a two-year contract, and you still can't get together! ”

Although this sentence is a bit arbitrary, it obviously has some truth.

Xiao Ya said: "The show really can't negotiate with the record company to shorten the duration of the contract, such as five years?" ”

The staff wants to laugh, the program team is not a tool for negotiation, there is no need to make an exception for you, this is all an old rule, it has been implemented for several years, and no one has ever entered the top ten in the country, but he refuses to sign a contract.

Seeing that Xiao Ya still didn't give up, the staff said: "You can discuss, for example, stop at the top ten in the country, your contract is only one year, what do you think?" ”

According to the arrangement of the "Singing Girl" program group, only the top eight in the country can get an eight-year contract, while the ninth and tenth places can only get a one-year contract.

What the staff means is, since you want a short-term contract, stop at the top 10 in the country.

Or stop at the top nine in the country.

Having said that, in fact, there is no need to say more, either agree to sign a contract for eight years, or be eliminated by the show in the next issue or the next issue, Xiao Ya can only choose one of the two.

Xiao Ya is not a fool, the other party's words are so clear, she can only reply: "Give me another week, and I will make a decision." ”

"You've been given two weeks to think, and the other top 10 members have already signed, and our show can't make an exception for you. And the signing of the top ten is something that our program team and the record company have already agreed on, and it is impossible for you to change it alone. ”

Forced to this moment, Xiao Ya had no choice but to say what she really thought in her heart: "Okay, I want to say that eight years is too long, and if you have a five-year contract, I will definitely sign it." ”

"So you're ready to stop at the top ten?"

Faced with the words that were already threatening, Xiao Ya said calmly: "It may also stop at the top nine, or even go further." ”

The other end of the phone laughed: "You are so naïve. ”

In many domestic talent shows, there are endless things that have been exposed, and in fact, the previous programs of "Singing Girls" have already had the phenomenon of internal determination.

This kind of internal determination has a lot to do with the record company that the contestants signed for.

For example, the record company signed by a certain singer has the most sponsorship to the program group, so the program team naturally has to give due consideration to raising the singer's ranking a little. In the case of similar level of contestants, this singer also has the right to be given priority to advance.

Why? The program team must be worthy of this sponsorship fee, so that there will be more sponsorship in the future, and with more sponsorship fees, the program can go on more durably.

It's an endless loop, and it's the stealth rule of the industry.

And the rules are not allowed to be broken, unless the strength of the two singers is too different, so that the biased selection will inevitably cause public outrage, and then the show will compromise.

Not to compromise with the singers, but to the audience, to the ratings.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Ya's decision was already known, and the staff reported the matter to the producer.

The producer quickly made it clear to several show judges: In the case of similar performances, please try to eliminate Xiao Ya as much as possible.

It is impossible for the program judges to go against the producer's opinion, after all, they were invited by the program team, and they received money and acted for others, which is a matter of course.

The program team is also very relieved, since Xiao Ya does not sign a contract, then stop at the top ten in the country.

If Xiao Ya is allowed to make an exception, how will the program team explain to the record companies that have paid sponsorship fees?

The program team can't get any benefits from Xiao Ya, of course, they have to kick out this kind of person unceremoniously!

However, the producers may not have imagined that the situation after that would happen far beyond their expectations.
