Chapter 33: Signing (I)

The windows are open, and the wind is blowing.

Wu Fan's mood was very good.

settled his parents, completely ended one of his thoughts, and then devoted himself to his career.

Du Yinyin drove the car with a resentful face, still regretting the opportunity last night.

"Yinyin, thank you." Wu Fan suddenly thanked him.

Du Yinyin glanced at Wu Fan, who was staring at her, and her face quickly turned crimson.

"Thank me for what?"

"Nothing, I just want to thank you." Wu Fan responded.

Du Yinyin was dissatisfied, "Then how are you going to thank me?"

Wu Fan pondered for a long time and said seriously, "I'll give myself to you, okay?"

It is an indirect confession, and it is also Wu Fan's recognition of the relationship between the two.

At this moment, Du Yinyin only felt very sweet in her heart, and everything she did was worth it.

"Good! Are you serious?" Du Yinyin said briskly, wanting to hear Wu Fan admit it in person.

Wu Fan turned his head sideways and looked at Du Yinyin carefully for a long time.

In order to meet the elders, the other party deliberately dressed up.

The thick hair is tied in a ponytail, and she wears a one-piece light smashing flower long skirt, which is simple and atmospheric.

When he gets along with his parents, he is happy, and when he is embarrassed, he is considerate, and he talks moderately, and he is generous......

And the person is so beautiful, and the personality is also very pleasing.

All in all, Du Yinyin is his favorite type.

The corners of Wu Fan's mouth involuntarily had an arc, and being able to meet each other was simply a blessing that he had cultivated in his previous life.

He said in a serious tone, "I admit that I have feelings for you, and I hope we can get off to a good start." ”

Du Yinyin didn't respond for a long time, but from the side, her charming dimples were always present, which showed that she couldn't be happy.

"This time is a little tight, I'll play with you when I'm free." Wu Fan felt a little guilty and gave a promise.

"I don't like to listen to promises and wait until the last one doesn't come true." Du Yinyin muttered.

Wu Fan immediately changed his words, "I'll be at the place in a while, I'll treat you to a big meal." ”

Du Yinyinle's eyes were bent, and he refused, "No need, it's enough to have your words, you can be busy with your business first." ”

"But ......"

"From now on, I'm your girlfriend, and you must not do anything to be sorry for me."

Du Yinyin tried to swear her sovereignty, although she clearly knew that it was difficult for someone as good as Wu Fan to do this, she still wanted to hear Wu Fan's assurance.

"Don't worry, I'm a principled person." Wu Fan's words were sincere.

……

There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below.

This is the reputation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang since ancient times.

As the provincial capital of Zhejiang, Beijing and Hangzhou not only have beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, but also lead the country in economic development.

Over here.

The headquarters of Xingmang Entertainment has a separate park, and the building in the park lies in the east of the West Lake in full bloom with lotus flowers, called "Lying Lotus", which means lying down and blooming.

Underground parking.

"Yin Yin, what are you going to do?" Wu Fan asked, it was only 9 o'clock at this time, and it was still early before the time for lunch.

"You go in first and report and sign the contract, I'll ...... Feel free to go around. Du Yinyin said sweetly, "Sue me when the matter is done." ”

Wu Fan nodded.

When Wu Fan was about to get out of the car, Du Yinyin grabbed him, closed her eyes and said expectantly, "Kiss me." ”

Wu Fan was not polite, got up and pasted it.

This kiss is lingering and inseparable.

It wasn't until they both felt suffocated that the two were reluctant to separate.

Du Yinyin lowered her head shyly, and said with some reluctance, "Go ahead." ”

Wu Fan smiled slightly, calmed down, pushed the door and got out of the car.

On the ground above the parking lot, there is a huge plaza with a large number of people.

Look around.

There are dancers, there are those who sing, there are those who practice catwalks, and there are those who play musical instruments......

To put it bluntly, this is an entertainment square, and everyone here has a dream of stardom and looks forward to the day when they are favored by "scouts".

Before he could take a few steps, a man lowered his head and greeted Wu Fan.

"Brother, it's the first time you've come, right? Want to make your debut? I have a way. ”

Wu Fan ignored it and walked forward.

"Brother, don't be in a hurry to leave!" The man had no intention of giving up, he glanced left and right and continued, "Xingmang Entertainment has an exclusive signing opportunity, and the opportunity will not come again. ”

Wu Fan stopped and asked directly, "How much?" ”

"2000 entry fee!"

The man blurted out subconsciously, and as soon as the words came out, he realized that he had met an expert, and immediately walked away.

Wu Fan watched the person disappear into the crowd with indifferent eyes, and sighed with feeling.

If it is a newcomer, the first time you hear about the signing opportunity, you will ask about the registration in detail, and then you will be moved by the rhetoric, and then obediently pay the money and wait for the person in charge to contact the arrangement, and in the end, you will find that the person in charge who received the money is nowhere to be found.

Therefore.

These are proper scammers, targeting newcomers who are just starting out.

There is really no effective way to deal with them, and even calling the police will not work, after all, the money is paid voluntarily, and these scammers will get away with it.

Newcomers who are ready to step into the entertainment industry can only consider themselves unlucky and spend money to buy a lesson.

But......

This also teaches newcomers with star dreams a lesson, there is no free lunch in the world.

In the middle of the square.

Two stone carved lotus flowers, one on the left and one on the right, are lifelike.

In the middle of the stone carved lotus, a huge colorful five-pointed star symbolizing the entertainment of the stars, is like an open hand holding the rainbow road wrapped around it, and the notes on the rainbow road are embellished with dazzling colors, implying the meaning of "accompanied by the stars, with you all the way".

Many handsome guys and beautiful women choose to take pictures here, leaving memories of "visiting here" for themselves.

Behind the square.

Two staircases go up to the main entrance of the office building.

There are people coming in and out of the revolving door all the time, and there seems to be no time to stop.

The reception hall on the first floor is overcrowded.

There are fashionable and beautiful handsome guys and beauties, and occasionally a few familiar star faces of Wu Fan walk by.

Wu Fan consulted with the reception desk, and went straight up to the fourth floor to the personnel department.

After indicating his identity and intention, someone immediately came to dock, and prepared a quiet room for Wu Fan alone.

After a long wait.

The docking person took the contract and sat face to face with Wu Fan.

"Mr. Wu Fan, this is your signing contract, please take a preliminary look at it first, and you can ask me at any time if you have any questions." Deng Xiaomei smiled.

The contract is in triplicate, one is held by the company, one is held by the person, and the last one is filed with the Huaxia Labor Bureau.

Wu Fan picked up one and began to examine it carefully, asking at any time what he didn't understand, wasn't clear, and was unreasonable.

"Do I have to have a stage name?"

"It's better to have one, a good-sounding and easy-to-remember stage name is related to your popularity in the entertainment industry in the future, and it will help you continue to develop."

"How to settle the annual salary of 200,000 yuan?"

"At the end of the first day of each month, 15,000 each time, the missing amount will be paid in place at one time before the year-end bonus."

"Didn't you say that you would give the house for nothing?"

"If Mr. does an excellent job, he will work for three years, and he can only be wronged by Mr. Temporarily living in the resettlement house in the park."

"Where's the car?"

"The public car in the company's parking lot can be used upon application. After working for one year, the husband can get the car equipped by the company. ”

"Three years of contract? Not allowed to engage in the corresponding industry for five years after the default? ”

"The contracts are signed every three years, and as long as the husband can afford to pay five times the liquidated damages, he can still engage in the industry."

"Didn't you say that there is a share of the sales of creative works?"

"That's in the supplementary contract, and we can talk about it in detail."

……

The most unfathomable road in the world, the routine, Wu Fan once again understood.

The treatment promised by Meng Yifei verbally can be said to have shrunk by more than half, which made Wu Fan feel like a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and the more he learned, the worse his mood became.

Trying to keep himself calm, he then picked up the supplementary contract and browsed.

Supplementary contracts are some additions to formal contracts, and their content is mainly some treatment supplements.

It details the four levels of songwriter treatment, which are ABCD Level 4, and the proportion of each level is different.

Grade D, creators receive 5% of the sales share

Grade C, creators get 10% of the sales cut

Tier B, creators receive 15% of the sales share

Grade A, creators receive 20% of the sales share

The sales mentioned here include online and offline, online is the download revenue of major music software, and offline is the revenue from physical sales of records and CDs.

In today's era of Internet popularization, offline sales are no longer cared for, so the sales share mainly comes from the online part.

Wu Fan was very surprised by this sales share ratio, and immediately put away his dissatisfaction.

You must know that the release of a song needs to go through many links, such as creation, inviting singers, inviting bands, and publicity...... Every link needs to burn money, and all the costs are borne by the production company.

If sales are unfavorable, the company directly faces a loss.

Under this kind of risk, the creators in the creative link alone have such a high share ratio, which is really a lot.

"What level am I being paid for?"

"In view of the information provided by Mr., the Split Supplementary Contract is Class C, and Mr. will receive 10% of the sales share".

C-grade......

Not bad.

Wu Fan calculated.

If the sales of an excellent song reach 1 million, 10% is 10W, which is just the return on investment.

Nowadays, Huaxia has a population of 20E, and the entertainment industry is in a period of rapid development, and no matter how bad an excellent song is, it can sell more than 500W, which is definitely a profitable and loss-making deal.

"How many of the company's current songwriters have reached this level? What about the higher? Wu Fan was a little curious about this and asked.

Deng Xiaomei took out her mobile phone, checked the information and replied, "The company has 120 songwriters, including Mr. C-level, a total of 13 people, the rest are D-level, and there is no higher one for the time being, which is the company's current shortcoming." ”

Wu Fan was surprised.

With such a huge disparity, how exactly does the company define the level of composer?

As if seeing Wu Fan's doubts, Deng Xiaomei continued, "The level of D-level creators is uneven, and their creative ability is unstable, once they create thirty excellent songs, or create a phenomenal song, or the sales of a single reach 50 million, the level can be promoted to C-level." ”

Wu Fan was stunned, and secretly praised this promotion mechanism as not bad.

"So how do you get promoted to B-class?"

"There is a supplementary contract, sir, please look at it yourself."
