The King of Variety Entertainment

What made Yang An angry was the photocopying contract. Party A was Beijin Qinyuan Film Production Co., Ltd., and Party B was Xiaolingxian. Her guardian's parents' signature and fingerprints were left in the signature of Party B. This is a common artist contract. He is too familiar with the contract text of Enron Film and Television Entertainment Company.

Generally, there are three kinds of artist contracts, full contract, half contract, agency contract, Yang An and Sha Bei, Lao Cui, and Ma Xin all sign ten-year full contracts, that is, within these ten years, all affairs will be handled by them. The company handles it. Sha Bei endorses Qipai men's clothing, shoots Volkswagen Yeti's commercials, participates in Running Man and If You Are the One, all of which are handled by the company. The salary is paid in full every month, and the year-end award photos are issued correctly. The advertising endorsement fee is distributed to Sha Bei The part is in accordance with the contract, and Shabei has no independent right to sign contracts with other companies.

Yang An did this because he has great strength. Only with a high degree of centralization can he ensure that many of his programs are available, and there will be no dilemma of changing jobs as a program host or host. In fact, Sha Bei and the others fully believe that Yang An just signed this ten-year full contract, which is a win-win situation.

And Xiao Lingxian and Qinyuan Company have an unfair contract. Qinyuan Company is a common black leather bag company in the industry. The leather bag contains money for establishing relationships and unequal contracts for artists. Various means such as transactions, preemptively signed some potential artists to his name in advance, and tied them with long-term full contracts.

For example, Xiao Lingxian paid almost no price for signing her, and easily won her five-year contract. Acrobats are in the golden age before the age of 20, and Xiao Lingxian has to work for Qinyuan Company from the age of 14 to 19. He works hard, usually works in Beijin Acrobatic Troupe, and Qinyuan Company takes most of the proceeds from the performance. If there is any performance in the past five years, the company will make a lot of money. If there is no performance, the contract will be thrown away when he turns 19. There is nothing to lose because the company pays nothing at all.

It's okay to bind the contract, but you should train a lot! The contract does not clearly state the obligations of Party A, second, there is no hard and fast target regulation, and third, it does not even have a sustainable training plan. It is completely irresponsible for artists. In the additional terms It's all about Party B's responsibilities and detailed rules for breach of contract, this is really ugly!

Yang An said angrily that he saw the dense content of Party B's breach of contract, and the column of liquidated damages of 3 million. This number was obviously handwritten, and it was not in the form of the contract. It was very random. The number 300 You can add a few more numbers before and after. If you want to be a little unscrupulous, add a 0 at the end to get 30 million, and add a 9 in front to almost 1 billion. With this contract full of loopholes, Xiao Lingxian's parents will sign?

Tang Tao said: It is understood that thousands of children like Xiaolingxian have been deceived. This is a very complete industrial chain, and Qinyuan Company is just the tip of the iceberg. Running around, colluding with some local art training companies to deceive young children and ignorant parents, the easiest way for them is to go on TV and participate in competitions to cheat money.

Those who can afford the money for art training are generally in good condition.

The child has learned dance for several years, and the training company asked, now there is an opportunity to make a TV series, pay 30,000 yuan, and guarantee that your child can appear in 3 episodes, act as a female supporting role for a certain star, After the TV broadcast, your children will have long faces and become child stars!

Or to put it another way, here we have a national song and dance competition for teenagers, organized by the National Dance Association and held by CCTV, you pay 30,000 yuan, we will take the children to Beijing for training before the competition, and guarantee to enter the semi-finals, if If you pay another 50,000, we can guarantee that your child will win the silver medal in the national singing and dancing competition, and a certificate and certificate will be issued at that time.

Some vain parents must be tempted, or parents whose children are really capable, generally speaking, they will not miss this opportunity, so they pay the money, join the group, and prepare their children to become big stars.

If the parents are really happy, this group of people is really perfunctory. The more glamorous the surface, the better. They have a special person in charge of coaxing the parents and the children. A little bit of a TV drama, or a dance award with no gold content, giving parents enough room to brag, saying that my child became a child star when he was 10 years old, and he has a strong stroke on his resume, etc. , actually have an egg?

As for the children who are really capable, black leather bags like Qinyuan Film and Television Company came here, promising to train the children vigorously, and to become famous as soon as possible. The promise has only one purpose, to sign a prostitution contract.

If some vigilant parents are unwilling to sign or have doubts, official units such as Beijin Acrobatic Troupe will jump out and endorse. Telephone anti-counterfeiting verification agency, these are just examples, which means that these names sound particularly tall, but they are actually private companies. They put on a bright appearance to shock the vigilant parents and let them endorse. In the end, they did the same thing!

Listening to Tang Tao's explanation, Yang An kept shaking his head: Ignorance is terrible... Or, some people are so smart that they can do anything to make money!

Tang Tao sighed: Who said it wasn't? But in modern society, people are too utilitarian and the social atmosphere is not good. The saying 'become famous early' is completely misleading. Big money, earning a lot of money while young and enjoying it when you grow old, people's three views have changed. Parents can't hold back, children are ignorant, they are taken advantage of by a group of old people in society, this is not normal Is it? Besides, there are too many Chinese people, and in the eyes of scammers, there will never be a shortage of winners.

Obviously, Xiao Lingxian's parents are the ignorant Kaizi, and her uncle is the accomplice. This is an isolated case, but there are many similar cases within the Beijin Acrobatic Troupe. If you look at the whole country, this has become an entertainment circle. Unspoken rules.

Yang An's field team can find out, but they are not the police, so they have no power to deal with it. Besides, their contracts in black and white have legal effect, so what should we do?

Yang An asked: What should I do next? Xiao Lingxian can't afford the 3 million liquidated damages, so why don't you let me pay?

Tang Tao said: If you pay, Qinyuan will be the happiest. In their eyes, you are also a winner. They are waiting for this day.

Yang An thought about it, he must take care of it, but he had a lot of worries.

It’s easy to treat the symptoms, just to solve the problem for Xiao Lingxian alone, 3 million is not unaffordable, and an actor who can go to the Spring Festival Gala is definitely not 3 million can be exchanged for.

It is much more complicated to deal with the root cause. This is a challenge to the ugly social system and a declaration of war on the entire bottom industry. Doing so will undoubtedly make him fall into a passive state and be overwhelmed by the vast ocean of the people.

Let's make a compromise! Let's show courtesy first and then fight. You first ask people to find out what the strength of Little Fairy is. Don't try our best to bring it back. If you can't even pass the first round of the talent show, you will be ashamed. Then, you Go talk to Qinyuan Company, and use our relationship in the folk arts circle in the north to help you connect, as folk arts and acrobatics are both in the same discipline, I believe we will definitely find someone who can talk.

Yang An still decided to give it a try. Tang Tao wrote it down and said, I'll test their bottom line first. It would be best if they can be transferred for free. If it doesn't work, it's okay to give them a year's hard work fee, but it's definitely not 3 million.

Well! Let Dang Jie follow, she will definitely not suffer.

This compromise method is good, and Yang An suddenly thought of someone: You can also ask the Kungfu crew to see if the Beijin Acrobatic Troupe has anything to do with it overseas. Give both kindness and strength, and use two prongs. Do you know what to do?

Tang Tao understood that he knew that Yang An could afford the money, and if he didn't pay, he didn't want to encourage this unhealthy trend.

The next day, on Sunday, the hard-working production team started to record the show again, but everyone was looking forward to what wonderful contestants would come today.

In the lounge where he was about to enter, He Jiong and Xu Jinglei were chatting, and Yang An didn't rush in until he was about to start: Hurry up and record today, we're leaving at 3 pm, next week's Running Man will be recorded in Zhongjing .”

Xu Jinglei asked curiously: Why are you leaving in such a hurry? You arranged for me to return to Beijing at 7 o'clock in the evening!

Yang An didn't explain, He Jiong stood up and called everyone to go to the front desk together. He probably knew that Yang An and Tang Tao were a little weird these days, and I heard that something difficult happened, but it's better not to give them any help. It's better to add chaos.

Today is the second day of recording, not necessarily the content of the second issue. The editor and director will decide which content to put, and the order may be messed up.

The three of them sat in the judges' seat, and the audience behind them slowly quieted down. Yang An unscrewed the sponsor's water and took a sip.

He Jiong quietly walked behind him and asked in a low voice, Is there any problem with you here?

Yang An obviously had something on his mind, he squeezed out a smile: It's okay, I will adjust it, take it easy.

He Jiong patted him on the shoulder and returned to his seat.

The first one to appear is a big brother in a blue workman's uniform, messy hair, and a coat that has been washed to a whitish color. It looks like he is about 40 years old, and the traces of aging can be seen on his face. If you compare him Throwing into the crowd, no one can remember him, the ordinary can no longer be ordinary.

He Jiong didn't look down, and said with a smile: Please introduce yourself.
