Chapter 37: The company wants to make you a limited trident
Dai Huiyun, assistant to the artist director of Chaoyin Culture, promises various benefits:
"The company values you very much, and is ready to build you, Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen into the trident of the limited group, and you will be the top in China at that time."
Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen are now very popular, and they have faintly become the top stream.
According to the popularity of "Tomorrow's Star", if nothing else, Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen will debut as champions and runners-up together, and they will definitely be promoted to top traffic stars at that time.
If it were other trainees, hearing that Chaoyin Culture was going to build him, Wu Junchen, and Liu Yichen into a limited group trident together, it was estimated that he would be able to wake up laughing from his dreams.
Dai Huiyun also thinks so, so she directly omitted the part explaining the contract.
After finishing the cake, he pushed the contract and the signing pen in front of Fang Xing, and pointed to the place where he signed with his nail art: "Sign here, and the company will notify Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen later, so that they can take care of you more."
"Next performance, I can arrange for you and Wu Junchen to be a team, and there will be a professional music production team to help you create performance songs."
After Fang Xing listened to the cake she painted, he felt unreliable in his heart.
What is promised verbally does have legal effect in name, but it is difficult to prove it when it is actually implemented.
Besides, now that the verbal promise is made by an assistant to the director, can an assistant be found to fulfill those promises?
However, for the sake of politeness, Fang Xing decided to take a look at this contract.
Looking at the contract, in fact, the main thing to look at is the proportion of the artist's share, as well as the restrictions of the contract on the artist.
Dai Huiyun saw that Fang Xing began to read the contract, and urged impatiently: "You don't need to read the contract, you can rest assured, the company will definitely not treat you badly." ”
Fang Xing only glanced at it a few times, and then didn't want to look at it.
In this contract, the artist's share is 20%.
In other words, artists can only get 20% of the money for any job.
For example, the artist received a notice with a notice fee of 10,000 yuan.
Then Chaoyin Culture will take 8,000 yuan, and the remaining 2,000 yuan will be distributed to the artist.
That's not the end of it, though.
The artist's agent also needs to participate in the share, and the agent usually takes another 10% to 20% from the artist's share.
That is to say, of the remaining 2,000 yuan, at least 200 will be distributed to the broker.
As for makeup artists and artist assistants, it depends on the specific arrangements of the company.
Artists can only be divided into 20%, and it is estimated that ordinary people want to scold after watching it.
However, this is the real situation in the entertainment industry.
A score of 28 is already considered a normal ratio, and some brokerage companies will even offer a ratio of 19 points.
Some people may ask, are celebrities so miserable?
Not really.
The stars who are popular are different.
An artist, if he is lucky, becomes popular.
Then the entertainment company usually takes the initiative to change the contract and give a more generous share.
Of course, it is impossible for entertainment companies to suffer losses, and while increasing the share, it will also increase the number of years of contracting.
For example, the contract period is extended to 10 years.
How to sign the specific contract depends on how to negotiate.
If a star wants to get a top-level contract, the most common situation is that the original brokerage contract is about to expire, and the company wants to renew it, so it will give more generous conditions to retain the artist.
Even some proviso, such as the champion of a variety show, this kind of commitment can also become a bargaining chip for contract renewal.
Of course, these treatments have nothing to do with Fang Xing.
Because Fang Xing is only a trainee in "Rising Star" now, and he hasn't even made his official debut yet.
After Fang Xing took a cursory look at the contract, he determined that it was a very harsh contract.
The contract stipulates that the artist and the company have 28 accounts.
The artist must obey all arrangements of the company.
Moreover, this ratio of 28 accounts covers all economic behaviors.
Even if the artist relies on his own relationship to get a notice and earn money, the whole process has nothing to do with the company, but he still has to share 80% of the company.
The entertainment industry is so real.
As for the performing arts resources promised by the other party, they are all verbal promises, and none of them are written in the contract.
Fang Xing is not stunned, he has long known the rules of large companies, so he is not surprised by this contract at all.
Reborn I, and sign this kind of contract, unless the brain grows up.
Fang Xing directly refused: "I won't sign this contract." ”
Dai Huiyun showed a surprised expression on her face, and said: "This is the company's standard contract, Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen signed this contract, theirs is even harsher, this is already the treatment I specially asked the boss for." ”
Fang Xing didn't doubt her first half of the sentence.
Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen were recruited into the company as trainees by Chaoyin Culture at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
I trained in the company for a few years, and then sent it to participate in the draft, and it slowly became popular.
Therefore, Wu Junchen and Liu Yichen can only sign the lowest-level trainee contract, and they do not have any choice.
Of course, when their contract expires and is to be renewed, they are eligible to make a claim to the company.
If it is another trainee, in the current environment of Fang Xing, there is no right to choose.
Fang Xing is different, although he can't choose a better contract, he can choose not to sign it: "I won't sign this, I'm sorry, I still have something to do." ”
After saying that, I wanted to get up and leave.
Dai Huiyun's face turned cold, and she threatened: "You have to think clearly, if you don't make up this contract, you will be eliminated in the next performance." ”
"Whatever you want, I don't even care if I quit." Fang Xing strode away without the slightest hesitation.
Even if you are eliminated by the program team, you can still continue to make music, there is no pressure at all, and you can even go back to school to continue your studies.
……
In the afternoon.
Dai Huiyun appeared again, pulled Fang Xing to the small conference room and sat down, took out a new contract, gasped and said:
"Fang Xing, you have to thank me this time, I begged the boss for a long time to help you get this high-level contract.
"Look at it, this treatment is much better than Wu Junchen's.
"Don't tell Wu Junchen that you signed a high-level contract, otherwise they will definitely make trouble with the company.
"Hurry up, sign it. If the boss repents, he will miss the opportunity. ”
Fang Xing can be regarded as seeing through the assistant director of the artist, running the train with his mouth full of words, without saying a word of truth.
It is impossible for her to ask for a senior contract, it can only be that she went back to report to work, and her boss decided to open this senior contract after careful consideration.
Fang Xing opened the contract and glanced at it a few times, with a helpless smile on his face.
This new contract is indeed a bit better than the previous one.
The artist's share has been increased to 30%, but other conditions have basically not changed, and even the contract period has been increased from 10 years to 15 years.
If you are a trainee who has not debuted, you are lucky to get such a contract.
But such a contract, except for the higher share, is actually no different from a slave contract.
As long as you sign this contract, you have to do what the company wants you to do, otherwise you are ready to file a lawsuit to compensate for liquidated damages.
And the liquidated damages for this contract are astronomical, a full 10 million.
