Chapter 119: Vampire Contract
"γThe fastest update, no pop-ups!
For example, the one in Ding Yang's hand is a very standard rookie vampire contract, and the more he looks at it, the more Ding Yang's brows are wrinkled.
The contract period is as long as eight years, not to mention the minimum salary, the first year of the economic company is 80%, the second to the fourth year, the economic company is 60%. After the fifth year, the agency and the artist are paid in half. In this way, if Ding Yang is paid 10,000 yuan, he can only get 2,000 yuan.
Moreover, the contract also specifically states that the company has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract at any time. If the artist terminates the contract early, he must pay a termination fee of 2 million. And within 20 years of termination, without the consent of the brokerage company, you are not allowed to sign a contract with other companies, otherwise you will have to compensate RMB 8 million.
This also means that once the economic company and the artist fall out, if the artist or the next company cannot pay 8 million liquidated damages, the artist can only choose zΓ© to change careers.
&nbsbsbs is to prevent the situation of artists "leaving as soon as they become popular", and it is also considered to be a reason. The following articles can almost be described as frenzied, mainly for the private life of the artist:
&nbsbsbsbsHairstyle and hair color need to be approved by the company. Falling in love, getting pregnant, and having a child must be reported to the company. If the artist is unable to perform the contract in a reasonable manner due to illness or force majeure, Party A's agency may terminate the contract immediately without paying any compensation to Party B's artist.
That's not all, Guan JiΓ n Ding Yang saw the last line of small words, but found that all the terms were the rules and regulations of the agency to restrain the artist, which is not allowed, and how to punish once it is violated.
But I didn't find one about the benefits of the agency, such as how many auditions for the actor are arranged at least every year, how many auditions for the supporting actor, no less than a few times to participate in movies and TV series, how many endorsement contracts are guaranteed, and how many times to attend major events to increase exposure...... None of these are any, in fact, isn't the signing of a brokerage company just for these resources? Otherwise, why sign a contract and be disciplined?
Huayi Brothers is indeed a big family with rich resources, but at the same time, there are many artists in their hands! There are more than one or two first-class popular superstars, and if there is no contract guarantee, how can you be sure that the company will tilt resources to a newcomer?
On the whole, this is an eight-year "deed of sale", he is a name in the brokerage company, and he does not enjoy any benefits at all. If he is not popular, the company will have nothing to lose, anyway, there is no more than him, and no less than him.
β¦β¦
Ding Yang is too tall, otherwise he would have lifted the hot tea on the table and splashed him in the face.
Do you really think of yourself as a stunned green who doesn't know anything? Dig such a big pit for yourself, and also have a high posture of being a life-saving benefactor.
If it weren't for Ding Yang's experience in the two lifetimes, I'm afraid that at this time, I would have been fooled by this grandson and signed a contract, right?
Are you really taking me for a fool, and you still expect to count your money after the labor is sold?
Indeed, signing a brokerage company, especially a well-known aircraft carrier-level brokerage company like Huayi, can be regarded as having a backstage. Actors are no longer rootless duckweed, they have resources, connections, and a lot of operations are already very perfect. As long as the company is willing to share resources and has its own strength, with the support of the brokerage company, it will be much easier to break through in the entertainment industry.
The forces in the entertainment industry are intricately intertwined, from planning, script, preparation, shooting, post-production, distribution, and release, all interlocking, and no one company can do it single-handedly. Without the support of large companies, it is not easy for artists to survive, let alone go from the small screen to the big screen, and even finally win the crown of actor and actress.
Even if he knows that he is a newcomer, the economic company will definitely not give him too high conditions, but this condition is too harsh, Ding Yang just wants to realize his dream of being an actor, he can not care about the gains and losses in salary distribution, but his private life is completely controlled, what is the difference between this and a slave?
Jia Hongdao smiled and said, "Have you finished reading it?" It's not too early, you hurry up and sign off and go home! β
Ding Yang's face was expressionless, and his tone tried not to hear joy and anger: "Producer Jia, this age is ...... Isn't it a little too long......"
Jia Hongdao stretched his face and said, "You are still young, you don't understand the Tao here." I'll give you an analysis, this long-term contract is for your future test, if it's a short-term contract, if you become popular, the company will definitely desperately squeeze your potential and give you a lot of messy advertising endorsements, as soon as the contract ends, you will be scrapped a long time ago, do you understand? β
Ding Yang was unmoved, "But...... This rake...... Isn't it a little too high......"
Jia Hongdao's face was already ugly, and he said impatiently: "What's so high about this?" You go and inquire, aren't all the contracts of newcomers like this now? Do you still expect the company to score 19 points with you? Training, publicity, public relations...... It doesn't cost anything, does it? β
Ding Yang said with the last glimmer of hope: "There is really no ...... A little bit of negotiability......"
Jia Hongdao sneered and mocked: "I said Ding Yang, you take yourself too seriously, right?" Who do you think you are? Andy Lau? Still want to bargain with Huayi? I'll be merciful and give you another chance, and if you sign it, I'll act as if nothing happened today, so sign it quickly! I've got something to do! β
Ding Yang's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "Thank you for your love, but ...... I'm sorry, but I won't sign this contract. β
"What?" Jia Hongdao jumped up, looked at Ding Yang with an idiot expression, his eyes were like knives, and he said word by word:
"Young man, you have to think twice about everything, think clearly. You have to be careful about every opportunity, so that you don't regret it for the rest of your life. Seeing that you are young and ignorant, let me ask again, do you sign or not? β
Ding Yang looked him in the eye and said word by word: "Then you heard clearly, I don't sign a contract, I won't now, I won't in the future, I won't do it forever, do you understand?" Merchant! System! Slice! β
"Good! Good! Good! Jia Hongdao laughed angrily, and said viciously: "Ding Yang, you have backbone, hard enough, yes, I appreciate you!" But when you kneel in front of me in the future, crying and begging to join Huayi, I will appreciate you even more! β
Ding Yang ignored him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, he turned around and left, and as soon as he went out, he heard the sound of a teacup breaking inside, Ding Yang looked up at the sky, his eyes were as cold as water.
The sun sets, the red clouds roll, leaving only a back walking down the ramp alone, this picture, slightly drunk and enthusiastic, warms up a kind of legend.
