Chapter 376: Unspoken rules of the industry

"Unspoken rules" are relative to "meta-rules" and "explicit rules". It refers to a kind of rule that is invisible, unprescribed, conventional, but widely agreed, actually works, and must be "followed".

Every industry has unspoken rules, the whole society survives under the unspoken rules, no one is immune, and everyone lives in the unspoken rules every day.

In the entertainment industry, unspoken rules are even more common, which little star wants to be on camera, and has to sleep with the boss and director, which has become a clear rule in the entertainment industry. And the major brokerage companies only see that there are also conventional unspoken rules, that is, the contract of each artist.

Although the current trend of Korean entertainment, all major brokerage companies are making a lot of money, but they are still exploiting artists all the time, each artist's contract is unreasonable, although the company has cultivated artists, but the cost seems to be a drop in the bucket for the entire company, only when they really debut, the company will invest a lot of money, but what the artist wants to sign is like a contract like a deed of sale.

Generally, after debut, you have to sign a ten-year contract, and for those with potential, the signing period will be increased, and in terms of profit distribution, only album sales will be relied upon.

Generally, only when the album sales exceed 50,000 copies, can you get 2%-5% of the profit commission. As for the income from overseas activities, the expenses and expenses of the company should be deducted first, and the remaining profits will be divided equally between individuals or teams.

This phenomenon is common in the Korean entertainment industry, more than 95% of celebrities have signed this unequal slave contract, in South Korea, the artist is the grandson, and the agency is the uncle. Unlike in China, the artist is the master, and the agency is the grandson. The artist's dominance is greater than that of the company, in terms of income, the company often only takes a small head, in China, the brokerage company dares to make calculations in the distribution of profits, then the brokerage company guarantees that it will not be able to sign a big-name artist.

Before the SJ group Han Geng had a falling out with the S.M company because of this contract, and finally terminated the contract and returned to China for development, during that time, Han Geng's termination incident was in a uproar, and he sued at the same time, not Han Gengyi alone, as well as the other five members of SJ, Little, Yisheng, Qiangren, Yinhe, Donghai, but these five SJ members did not receive the attention of the Chinese people because of their nationality, and Han Geng's lawsuit caused a huge repercussion in China because it was first exposed. Everyone learned that the exploitation of the Korean entertainment industry has reached this level.

Moreover, even an idol group like SJ can only sign this kind of contract, and it is conceivable that if other small companies want to survive, what kind of contract will artists sign, perhaps in addition to the halo on their (them), even ordinary white-collar workers can't match.

In South Korea, this is the unspoken rule in the entertainment industry, large and small brokerage companies follow these rules, as long as the beneficiary is themselves, no one will take the initiative to break this rule, survival of the fittest is the iron rule in the Korean entertainment industry. If a brokerage company wants to break this iron rule, if it is not strong enough and not proud enough, it will be attacked by all brokerage companies.

It is conceivable that as long as there is a contract that breaks the unspoken rules, the artists under his command will be on par with this contract, just ask who else will sign the slave treaty, maybe the artists under his command will "rebel".

On the other hand, looking at the contract in their hands, the reporters have a sense of fantasy.

The signing fee alone is 4 billion won, the company guarantees that one album is produced every year, only signed for five years, and both parties are not allowed to terminate the contract within five years, the distribution of profits, the album income is divided into fifty and fifty, and the film, TV series, advertising, endorsements, as long as there is income, it is divided fifty-fifty, as long as it is the singer's original song, the copyright is retained in the hands of the singer, and performing arts activities are arranged by the company, and there can be full modification, and the company can discuss just a few of them, it is enough to shock them, this kind of contract, Even if you are a king-level star, you may not be able to get it, unless you open your own brokerage company.

And today, LoenEntertainment has provided Han Fei with this super lucrative contract, what does this mean? Everyone was shocked and looked towards Han Fei and Jin Zhipu who were sitting on the stage.

Jin Zhipu looked at the shocked face with satisfaction, and said into the microphone: "I believe you have already read this contract roughly, there is no doubt that this contract is a copy of the contract on Han Fei's desk now, I can hand it over to you without taboo, no matter how you report wantonly, I will not interfere." I can give this contract, because I fancy Han Fei, I believe that Han Fei can bring more than just monetary income to LoenEntertainment. ”

The reporter recalled and Jin Zhipu's words in his mind, "It's not just monetary income", the meaning of this sentence, they felt it after a little bit of chatter, but everyone couldn't help but feel that Jin Zhipu was making a "big gamble", putting all the chips on Han Fei, and also took out a copy of this contract, so that the reporter could wantonly report the arrival to build momentum for Han Fei, it is conceivable that after this contract is exposed, how much shock it will bring to the entire entertainment industry, I am afraid that the contracts of the number one artists under some brokerage companies, It's about to change.

But the reporter thought about it in a blink of an eye, this is only good for them, there is no harm, only the more chaotic the entertainment industry, the more news can be reported, in order to support themselves. It is conceivable that when Kim Zhipu ignited this fuse, and then reported to the reporter wantonly, it was enough to muddy the big dye vat of the Korean entertainment industry.

Under the lens of many cameras and cameras, Han Fei signed this contract. But there is still a gap between the actual signed contract and this one.

When Han Fei signed the contract, thunderous applause rang out, and everyone applauded Han Fei, finally a company dared to work against the people behind the scenes in the entertainment industry, and they waited and saw what brilliant sparks could be created.

Korea time, at 10 o'clock at noon on September 6, 2011, an explosive surname news spread to major portals and forums. ”

The first contract in the history of the Korean entertainment industry was finally born, the first contract that has never been seen before or since, and it is a truly worthy first contract.

The presidents of all brokerage companies, large and small, who saw a copy of this contract, were stunned in place like a thunderbolt, and they were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.

Even Yang Hyun-suk, Park Jin-young, Kim Min-young (Lee so-man is in the book), Kim Kwang-so and other big-name presidents of brokerage companies are sitting in the boss's chair dumbfounded.

In addition to Yang Hyun-suk, Park Jin-young had already thought about Han Fei, Kim Kwang-so, Kim Young-min and others heard the news of Han Fei's termination, and they wanted to sign Han Fei as soon as possible, but they all hesitated in the next second and all retreated. Han Fei is a hot potato, they don't have that much determination to catch it.

But to their surprise, they didn't expect Jin Zhipu to start so quickly, and the contract he gave was more than five times better than the contract they originally planned to sign Han Fei, which was enough to shock them.

Although Jin Zhipu broke the unspoken rules between everyone, he didn't have any idea of wanting to hit the other party, who told people to have the confidence to call all brokerage companies. In addition to the strength of LoenEntertainment itself, the most important thing is that the whole company, there are really few artists who can get their hands on it, there was only one Li Zhien before, and now there is only one more Han Fei.

Although LoenEntertainment only has these two new forces, it is enough to temporarily support LoenEntertainment for a while, and only after the follow-up trainees are trained, it can completely make up for the entire artist fault, but I am afraid that by that time, LoenEntertainment has become the only super agency that can overwhelm S.M.

And the most excited, naturally, are the "princesses", since Han Fei's new song "www.xstxt.orge" music critic danmartin, they are all amazed by this song, calling Han Fei the miracle boy of Asia, not only created familiar Korean songs, but also created three classic English songs in a row, saying that he is looking forward to the release of Han Fei's new album.

And Danmartin's words have made Han Fei more famous in Europe and the United States, which can be said to be a side for Han Fei, making the burning fire of "WaitFouyou" more dazzling.

For these, there is no pressure on small brokerage companies, anyway, the company is small enough, as long as it can survive and make money, but the threat to S.M, YG, JYP, corecontentsmedia, especially S.M company, is big, and several presidents shouted in their hearts "The wolf is coming!" ”
