Entertainment Breaking News Anchor Room

Chapter 11 Signing the Contract
The two-and-a-half-hour movie is long, but after watching it, it doesn't make people feel boring at all.

He Xiaojing watched the movie from the beginning to the end. The movie was originally mixed with funny elements, and the little girl always grinned.

After getting out of the theater, the little girl fell asleep sitting on He Luhua's lap as soon as she got in the car.

I slept very soundly!

The car started slowly, and the sound of the six-jet supercar engine was extremely loud. Ye Zhiqiu slowly released the clutch and stepped on the accelerator, trying not to wake up the little girl.

"Sister He, shall we go back to sign the contract?" Ye Zhiqiu turned his head and asked He Luhua in a low voice.

The company's first contracted artist, more or less deserves some snacks!
And this first artist~
I was a movie queen before!
If you want to be an artist, unless you have a very strong background, it is difficult for most artists to do it on their own.

In Ye Zhiqiu's previous life, how many people like Wang Baoqiang could there be? Among the 1000 million walk-on players, it would be pretty good to have one Wang Baoqiang.If it weren't for some unpleasant things that happened at home later, in terms of career alone, he would have been a man of destiny.

For those who play tricks in Hengdian, earning 100 yuan a day is already pretty good.

It is said that they are fighting for their dreams, but the competition in the entertainment industry is so fierce.

One by one, the dreamers, while gnawing corn buns, lived in weed nests, and owed a lot of money in the flowers.

Life is really not something ordinary people can bear!
The most uncomfortable thing is that I know in my heart that I may not be able to get ahead in the middle of my life, let alone other things!
He Luhua knew the meaning of Ye Zhiqiu's words, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and he joked.

"Qiuzai, are you considered a delicious girl?"

"How dare I!"

"Don't dare, why don't you sign a new contract for me?"

He Luhua subconsciously flashed a wink.

Ye Zhiqiu was really not very clear about this aspect. The contract was drawn up by Lao Xu. He read it and thought it was all right, so he sent the electronic draft to He Luhua first.

But he really wasn't very clear about the treatment issues.

"Sister He, tell me! I asked someone else to make the contract. That person may have drawn up this contract out of consideration for maximizing profits!"

"But based on our relationship, I can't let Sister He suffer!"

He Luhua saw that Ye Zhiqiu's words were very sincere, and he was also an old man in the circle, so he should give advice to the younger generation.

"I don't know much about the current entertainment company's mode of signing newcomers."

"But according to our previous signing model!"

"When an artist signs a contract with a company, the company will give the artist a signing bonus. This amount usually depends on the artist's popularity. For some artists who are not well-known at all, the company will usually give less money or even no money at all. It mainly depends on the conscience of the boss!"

"If you meet some unscrupulous bosses, you will be sold by the company, and you will have to pay the company money, like the huge liquidated damages that broke out on the hot spot some time ago!"

"In addition, this is for small companies. For some big companies, big names in the industry, and some artists with rich families are even willing to pour money into the company, which can range from millions to tens of millions, but these types of companies have special contracts."

"As for the share, for those artists who are already famous before signing the contract, the share ratio is generally specified in the contract, and the degree of fame and the share ratio are also directly proportional."

"Many newcomers sign contracts, and the company will pay the artist a basic salary every month. But with this kind of contract with a basic salary, the subsequent commercial performance revenue will shrink a lot."

Ye Zhiqiu frowned slightly when he heard what He Luhua said, "Sister He, what is the specific ratio?"

He Luhua thought for a while, and organized his words.

"For example, first-line actresses like Wan Wenfang and Zhou Mika are basically divided into [-]-[-]% or even [-]% of the remuneration of the contract company, and the company takes a small amount."

"But for newcomers entering the industry, it's not bad to get [-]% basically, and the company gets the bulk."

"There is also the issue of five social insurances and one housing fund. Artists and companies are more like partnerships than simple employment relationships. Artists do not have a fixed monthly salary, and social insurance can only be paid by the artist themselves. This is the previous model, but it seems to have changed now. "

"After all, the awareness of human rights has increased. Five insurances and one housing fund are social security. Some companies are also reforming the new contracting model. Five insurances and one housing fund are just a small head."

He Luhua took a breath, looked out the window, touched He Xiaojing's small head, and continued to tell Ye Zhiqiu.

"The above is the treatment of artists"

"In the era of information explosion, every word and deed of a celebrity will affect the company's revenue and image, so the contract will also indicate labor discipline."

"In addition to the fact that the artist is poached by other companies, the liquidated damages will also be reflected in this area."

"Many celebrities' personal image collapsed during the signing period. The company will investigate the celebrity's breach of contract. Of course, this also depends on the boss. Some well-known big names have been cheated in this regard and returned to before liberation."

"New artists don't understand 'labor discipline'. They are often happy when signing a contract, but have trouble saying it later."

"The company will plan more carefully in terms of 'labor discipline'. It is necessary not to talk nonsense on the scarf, and it is also necessary not to talk nonsense about the relationship between men and women. Of course, the company's speculation of CP as a hot topic is another consideration."

"Some companies have more strict plans. Artists of their own companies are not allowed to accept endorsements, publicity, performances, etc. outside of working hours!"

"It's tantamount to cutting off the way for our artists to earn 'extra money'!"

"This is also the reason why some artists quickly terminate their contracts with companies after becoming famous and want to open their own studios."

He Luhua seemed to have thought of something, and sighed, "Speaking of the increase in the artist's reputation, because of income reasons, many artists will propose to the company to increase their remuneration."

"But because there is a contract, the boss of the company may not talk to you. During the validity period of the contract, it means that the company has decided to eat you!"

"Of course, there are also good company bosses, and this cannot be generalized."

When Ye Zhiqiu heard what she said, he thought of Zhang Kongkong in his previous life. After Zhang Kongkong finished filming Monkey King, the Monkey King, he asked the agency to increase his salary. As a result, the company said that he was worthless because he had no hair on his face. In the final analysis, he refused to raise his salary. .

Later, Zhang Kongkong left the brokerage company in a fit of anger, shaved his head bald, and did well.

"Sister He, what is the generally appropriate time period for an artist to sign a contract with the company?"

Ye Zhiqiu thought for a while and asked.

"The term of the contract is generally 'determined by the brand'. The larger the 'brand', the shorter the contract period."

"The signing time for newcomers will be relatively long, about five to ten years, which happens to be the prime time for an artist to enter the industry."

"The company has invested a lot of financial and material resources in cultivating artists in the early stage, and it will take a certain amount of time to reap the rewards, so the company attaches great importance to this!"

"For pure rookies, the contract period has no right to speak."

"If you are an artist who has already entered the industry, you can properly negotiate with the company and decide the length of the contract according to the market situation."

"There is another situation where the artist is not necessarily signed by the company."

"The most important thing about signing a contract is to understand who you are signing the contract with."

"In most cases, the artist is Party A and signs a contract with the company as Party B. After signing the contract, the agent assigned by the company is responsible for the artist's work. The agent himself also has a contract with the company, but there are some gold medal agents in the circle with good connections and resources If you have them all, you will sign the artist yourself, and the one Party B signs is the manager himself."

"This is a special situation, and the artist can negotiate with the agent B on his own."

"This is more common among new artists with a background. Since you don't want to sign with a company, it's better to find a gold medal agent with strength and resources."

"However, in the circle, gold medal brokers can count with five fingers in the palm of the hand. Gold medal brokers have a very poisonous vision, not everyone can see it!"

"Moreover, a gold agent has his own complete team"
