Chapter 106
He Tailai took Yuan Chen around during this time, took on commercial performances, filmed commercials, and appeared on shows, compared with Zhang Liu's thorny head, Yuan Chen was so obedient, let him do whatever he wanted, He Tailai said that he was very comfortable during this time.
However, this kind of comfortable day didn't last long, accompanied Yuan Chen to a show at noon, Yuan Chen was still preparing in the dressing room, He Tailai was eating a boxed lunch outside while staring at the entertainment news being broadcast on the TV in the lounge, and then the sweet-looking female anchor said: "This morning, Xingcan Entertainment held a press conference to publicly condemn the ......contract that its signed singer Yuan Chen unilaterally tore up."
A piece of meat on He Tailai's chopsticks fell into the lunch box, and his mouth opened wide.
On TV, after the anchor read the previous news briefing, it was the picture of Xingcan's on-site press conference, Jiang Shaojie and many of Xingcan's senior executives sat side by side behind the table, Jiang Shaojie said seriously: "Yuan Chen was a complete amateur when he debuted, he participated in the talent show in our company's "Tomorrow's Star" for the audience, and we didn't ask him to report anything to the company, just a basic requirement, that is, to abide by the contract, the company poured a lot of effort and resources into him, we didn't expect it at all, He disappeared without even saying hello to the company, and then we got news of him on TV......"
On TV, Jiang Shaojie accused Yuan Chen of not abiding by the contract, and outside the TV, He Tailai had already recovered from a daze, put down his chopsticks and picked up his mobile phone to call Zhang Liu.
It's strange to say, Zhang Liu's first sight made He Tailai feel like a difficult little kid pretending to be an adult, and the wayward "arbitrariness" during this time actually made He Tailai quite dissatisfied, but Xu is a person who is strong enough to make people subconsciously want to rely on and respect.
"Hello?" Zhang Liu's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and He Tailai hurriedly spoke; "Zhang Liu, have you watched TV?"
Here Zhang Liu was also having lunch in the crew, and when he received a call from He Tai, he got up and walked to a secluded place before he started to speak, "What's the matter?" β
When He Tailai heard this, he thought that Zhang Liu didn't know about Yuan Chen, and said hurriedly: "Do you know his ......contract with Xingcan before you help Yuan Chen release the record?"
Zhang Liu raised his eyebrows and said, "Xingcan has started to bite?" β
When He Tailai heard Zhang Liu say this, he said, "Have you watched TV?" See the message? β
Zhang Liu said: "I haven't seen it, but the nature of the country is easy to change, and Xingcan's virtue, I know it." β
Zhang Liu's voice didn't fluctuate, He Tailai thought that Zhang Liu didn't realize the severity of the matter, and said hurriedly: "Do you know if you don't want to talk to us first?" Now it's time for the matter, what to do! β
Zhang Liu raised his eyebrows and said, "What should I do?" Well, first, you go in first and communicate with Yuan Chen in a while, so that this stupid boy doesn't panic, don't feel guilty about being annoying, and then do something stupid; Second, you're done pacifying
Yuan Chen, communicate with Guo Xiang immediately, don't let him stop what he is doing, the things here and his business over there are no obstacles; Third, I will give you a lawyer's phone number, this lawyer is very good at commercial lawsuits, the contract signed by Xingcan and all his artists has very clear terms that violate the law, and the entire contract should be invalid, I need you to communicate with the lawyer in this regard, and we must be ready for lawsuits; Fourth, I know that you and Guo Xiang have checked my bottom line, you have some colleagues from the Dongdao faction and the Gangcheng faction in Xingcan, find them, and find the artists signed by Xingcan through them, and let them stand up for us to fight Xingcan and strive for public opinion advantage. β
Zhang Liu's voice was very calm, and he narrated one by one without emotion, but He Tailai on the other end of the phone became more and more cold sweat the more he listened, and said while wiping his sweat: "What if they refuse to fight Xingcan for us?" After all, their contracts are still in Xingcan. β
Zhang Liu said: "Go and negotiate the price with them, if you are willing to come to Fenghua Entertainment, you can come to Fenghua, follow me, Yuan Chen is their future, if you don't want to come to Fenghua, I can give them a sum of money, as for the price, you can talk about it." β
He Tailai wiped his cold sweat and continued to communicate with Zhang Liu about the price range that Zhang Liu was willing to offer, as well as which people he wanted to find Xingcan, and when the negotiation was completed and he hung up the phone, He Tailai couldn't help but scold: "Demon!" β
After talking, Zhang Liu returned to the dinner table, and then picked up chopsticks to eat, since "Green" became popular, the food of the crew has improved a lot, there are fish and meat in the dishes and there is no gutter oil, Zhang Liu eats slowly, Feng Yanqiu flips through the magazine while eating, points to the clothes on it Zhang Liu and says: "Xiaoliu, take a look, look at it, which one is good-looking?" β
Zhang Liu glanced at it and replied, "The pink and blue one can make your skin white." β
Jiang Shaojie performed a "true feeling" on TV, accusing Yuan Chen of being ungrateful and how he failed their company's cultivation, and almost not long after Jiang Shaojie's play, Yuan Chen sent a long letter, which explained in detail Yuan Chen's various experiences when he was in Xingcan, including that Xingcan did not pay them salaries, and they had no money to eat to find a job, but they were stopped by Xingcan in the name of the contract:
"I participated in the show and signed with Xingcan because I had a dream for music, and when I was about to graduate from college and face the pressure of survival and employment, I wanted to fight for my dream one last time, and I started by signing a contract with the company, and all the artists, including me, were very excited, thinking that hope was just around the corner.
I didn't want to take shortcuts, as a young person, I know that we all have to struggle from β‘β‘, and I am ready to endure hardships, I can ride my bicycle to work every day, I can eat one meal a day, but in the case that the company does not pay us a dime at all, and even threatens to stop us from working in the name of a contract, what should I eat?
I have graduated from college, as an adult, not only can I not support myself but also have to be subsidized by my parents, which has caused a lot of damage to my spirit, and what makes us who are more sad than these who have invested in it with dreams is that for more than a year and nearly two years, Xingcan did not release an album for us singers who signed a contract, and even the songs we created ourselves were handed over to the company, and the company ignored them, just blindly relying on covers of other people's songs to open the money of fans in the concert circle. β
In this long letter, Xingcan complained about Xingcan's harsh attitude towards their signed artists, and then stated:
"I have consulted with a lawyer, and Xingcan's contract is fundamentally in violation of the Labor/Movement/Law, and since they have not paid me my salary, I do not need to abide by this illegal contract."
Looking at this long statement letter, Guo Xiang raised his head and asked He Tailai: "Just Yuan Chen wrote it?" β
He Tailai sneered and said, "What do you think?" Can Yuan Chen write this? Is he such a quarrelsome person? β
When He Tailai said this, Guo Xiang couldn't understand that it was written by Zhang Liu, sighed, and said, "It's not like this article." The implication is that Zhang Liu is still small in the end, and he thinks about things too naΓ―vely and simply.
The corners of He Tailai's mouth twitched slightly, and said: "Zhang Liu called me just now and said, this thing is posted on the Internet, let us find the water army company, so that the water army company does not need to help with the top post reply, just help push it in many places, and spread this statement letter on the Internet."
Unlike in the past few years, everyone has almost used the number of fans on the Internet to measure the popularity of an artist, and the current Internet is still a relatively unserious thing in the eyes of many people in the entertainment industry, which can be used as a reference, but it will not be faced...... Well, even if they are willing to spend money, they may not be able to fight for Xingcan, and they have cooperative relations with Imperial Capital TV and Xiajiang TV.
He Tailai also understood Guo Xiang's worries, and said, "What Zhang Liu means is to find someone to fight Xingcan for us." β
Guo Xiang frowned and said, "Who will offend this person for us?" β
Who is least afraid of offending people? Who is least afraid of offending Xingcan?
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, at this moment, the most hopeful for Xingcan's downfall are the signed artists under Xingcan, except for Yang Hao, who has a relationship in the family and has not been squeezed out of the remaining value, and He Meimei, who has a special relationship with Chen Jianxing, and now the artists under Xingcan are almost in a state of semi-despair.
A few months after the end of the draft, Xingcan pulled them to a concert tour, and the specific income of the concert did not tell them how much it was, and when their popularity ebbed and fans gradually disappeared, the concert tickets could not be sold, so they were thrown aside and ignored.
Under what circumstances, some people go to work, but when Xingcan needs someone to help, for example, when he contacts a certain commercial performance and launches several singers in a row, the other party wants a few to temporarily teach the singer to come to the top, if the singer is working, Xingcan threatens to sue the singer for violating the contract and forcing the other party to let go of his work to help Xingcan make money.
After so many times, these star-chan signed artists, even if they want to do other jobs outside to make a living.
It's a situation that makes people desperate, and desperation sometimes forces people to do things they wouldn't normally do.
Less than three days after Xingcan spoke, some artists under Xingcan stood up and bombarded Xingcan.
The first person to stand up for Yuan Chen and bombard Xingcan was Zhu Na, she supported Yuan Chen, and posted a long article accusing Xingcan on her post bar, and then soon, she accepted a reporter from the potato website (this reporter is also the front desk administrative secretary of the potato website), the video was released on the potato website, and then Fenghua Entertainment immediately pushed it on the Internet, and hung this interview video on Zhang Liu's post bar.
On the other hand, Fenghua Entertainment is also contacting acquaintances of the major entertainment programs they are familiar with, but obviously their strength is obviously weaker than Xingcan in terms of TV, although they are an old brokerage company with a reputation in the industry for many years, and there are acquaintances within the TV station, but unfortunately there is no relationship between interests and bundles, and it is not hard enough.
Imperial Capital TV completely stood on Xingcan's side because of Deputy Director Li's relationship, and defined these singers who bombarded Xingcan as "ungrateful", "no contract spirit", "young people can't endure hardship", and Xiajiang TV Station also has a cooperative relationship with Xingcan, and it has a low-key handling of news about Xingcan, and it hardly takes it seriously. There are almost no decent entertainment news programs, and naturally they don't report Xingcan's news.
When Guo Xiang and He Tailai were anxious, the potato website suddenly notified them that it was Xiangjiang Provincial TV station that they wanted to contact Zhu Na through the potato website to do an exclusive interview.
Xiangjiang TV station suddenly approached, making Guo Xiang and He Tailai a little suspicious of each other's purpose, you must know that in this circle, many things are either the other party's goodwill or really goodwill, even if it is a seemingly well-intentioned interview, if the entertainment company does not keep an eye on it, some TV stations may edit the seemingly ordinary dialogue into a ghost video that I don't know how many people will be offended.
It didn't take long for Director Liu of Xiangjiang TV Station to personally call Fenghua Entertainment Company and explain their thoughts, saying that they also want to do a talent show in the second half of this year, hoping that Zhang Liu can be a judge, and at the same time they still have a drama to film, this is the first TV series that their TV station has prepared and filmed, if possible, I hope Zhang Liu can play the leading role.
Speaking of which, it is very clear that the director of Xiangjiang TV station Liu is much more poisonous than ordinary people, from the cooperation between the potato website and Zhang Liu, to the interview with Zhu Na on the potato website, in this process, the person who guessed the operation behind this qiΔ is likely to sign a contract with Zhang Liu's agency Fenghua Entertainment, and it is determined that Fenghua Entertainment is a little weak because of the resources behind it, it is inevitable to find a partner to fight against Xingcan, Xiangjiang TV, the director of Liu, wants to use the resources of this propaganda platform of their TV station as a bargaining chip, Don't pay or pay very little money in exchange for the benefits of Zhang Liu, a popular star, to help out.
There are TV stations willing to help speak out, it's better than nothing, otherwise it's just a voice on the Internet, a small fight, and it can't set off enough pressure on public opinion, and the self-media is not developed enough at this point in time, and you can reverse black and white if you master the resource channels, and pour dirty water on the victim to make you characterize from a mad dog bite to a biting mad dog.
After several bargains, Guo Xiang and He Tailai reached a preliminary agreement with Xiangjiang TV after discussing with Zhang Liu.
Soon, Xiangjiang TV made a special report on the entertainment company industryβ‘β‘ blood and sweat to squeeze newcomers into the industry, although it was straightforward against Xingcan, but took Xingcan's matter as an example, extracted Yuan Chen's statement and Zhu Na's interview, and also broadcast the content of their consultation with the lawyer about "Labor/Movement/Law" in the form of a telephone recording, indicating that Xingcan's practice is illegal, and such an illegal form of contract is invalid.
The broadcast of this episode of Xiangjiang TV and the subsequent report on Xingcan Time in connection with the entertainment program of Xiangjiang TV Station used a large number of interviews with Yuan Chen and Zhu Na, and the position bias is self-evident.
After these things were broadcast on Xiangjiang TV, one after another, many Xingcan artists came out to break the news, and for a while, the Xingcan incident became a focus event in the circle that everyone looked at and continued to detonate the topic
