Chapter 237 Dismantling the second generation in contract disputes is capricious
Chapter 237 Contract disputes, dismantling the second generation is willful
After learning that Shen Xiyin signed a contract with Fang Xing and Tong Fei's joint venture, she immediately released "Unfortunately No If".
Xu Menghan shed tears of envy. She also had a sudden idea and wanted to sign.
However, she is different from Shen Xiyin.
Shen Xiyin's contract with the original agency has expired, and her contract with the original agency still has five years.
Even so, Xu Menghan still begged Shen Xiyin to take her to the company to talk to Tong Fei or Fang Xing.
Shen Xiyin also wanted to help her, so he took her to the company.
Fang Xing usually does not participate in the work of artist management, so he is not in the company.
Not long after Guangguang Entertainment Agency was established, there were quite a lot of things going on, and Tong Fei happened to be there.
"Mr. Tong, I also want to sign in your company."
Xu Menghan didn't beat around the bush at all and spoke out her inner thoughts when they met.
Tong Fei was so happy, thinking that this girl is really straightforward.
However, it is not something she can sign if she wants to.
Tong Fei did not refuse directly, but asked: "Why do you want to sign with our company?"
Xu Menghan didn't think about her words in advance. She thought for a while and replied: "I hope to be in the same company as Xiyin, and I like Fang Xing's songs, and I also like Mr. Tong. I think working with Mr. Tong is particularly rewarding. It feels safe and very motivating.”
After she finished speaking, she bumped Shen Xiyin with her elbow.
Shen Xiyin quickly helped to speak: "She said she was envious of me being able to sign with Guangguang Entertainment, so she insisted on coming with me. When we were in the Sky Group, Meng Han and I had the best relationship. Now we still live together. If we can be in the same A brokerage company, I’m also very happy.”
Tong Fei supported her chin with the backs of her hands and said calmly: "Maybe you haven't figured it out yet. Guangguang Entertainment has only been established a few days ago. The company has a framework, but in fact the management team is not yet mature.
"I'm already too busy with Xiyin and Fluorescent Group right now. Even if I sign you over, I'm afraid I won't have the team and resources to take care of you."
Xu Menghan said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. I'm not in a hurry to make money. If you're worried that I'll make the company lose money, you don't have to pay me a basic salary. I don't mind."
Since Xu Menghan made her debut in "Tomorrow's Star", Tong Fei also knows Xu Menghan's situation very well.
I know that her family conditions are not bad, and the biggest reason why she joins a girl group is because she likes it. In fact, it is just for fun.
Therefore, Xu Menghan belongs to the type who doesn't have much money but has a small amount of money. She really doesn't care about the basic salary.
However, signing an artist is not that simple.
Tong Fei thought about it and said, "I seem to remember that your contract with your original agency was quite long."
Xu Menghan's expression suddenly dropped, and she nodded helplessly: "Yes, there are still five years."
Tong Fei spread her hands and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. In five years, there will be too many changes. You'd better go back and think about it carefully. The company has just started to stand up, and it's been a bit busy these days. If there's nothing else, you can go out first. Bar."
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Tong."
Although she had expected this outcome from the beginning, Xu Menghan was still a little helpless and walked out of the office frustrated.
The assistant to the president of Feifan Entertainment originally went to copy documents. When he came back, he happened to hear the conversation between Tong Fei and Xu Menghan, and asked casually: "Why doesn't Mr. Tong sign Xu Menghan? She almost didn't ask for it, and she didn't even have to pay for the signing fee." . Even if she doesn’t make money, she won’t lose money.”
If it is a big-name celebrity, the agency will basically pay a high signing fee if they want to sign it.
Of course, Xu Menghan is not a big shot, but according to her opinion, even the basic salary is not required. This requirement is already extremely low.
Tong Fei took the document to sign and said casually: "She is different from Shen Xiyin. Her contract with the original company still has five years.
"The liquidated damages in the contract are still very high. The company wants to make money when signing an artist, so it is impossible to pay her liquidated damages.
"Actually, the most important thing is that she is not outstanding enough to require the company to pay liquidated damages.
"That's how it is in the entertainment industry. Whoever you sign is not a sign? Girl groups rely on support to begin with. She is not irreplaceable, so anyone can be replaced.
"The current situation is that whoever Fang Xing sings the song for will become famous.
"Isn't there a joke on the Internet that Fang Xing can become famous even if he leads a dog?
"Although this joke is a bit ugly, it is the truth.
"Just the fluorophores, without Fang Xing and Ge Ge, they are nothing."
After hearing this, the general assistant felt that this was indeed the case.
The entertainment industry is inherently competitive. If entertainment companies are not engaged in charity, who will do things without profit?
Exited the office building where Guangguang Entertainment is located.
In the coffee shop on the first floor, Xu Menghan looked at the coffee in front of her and suddenly burst into tears.
Shen Xiyin was stunned. She hurriedly sat over, closed the curtains, and reminded: "Don't do this. If you are photographed by reporters, you will be in trouble."
"Wow!"
Xu Menghan burst into tears: "I don't care, anyway, I'm only qualified to act in commercials. If the paparazzi likes to take pictures or not, the worst I can do is quit."
"Why are you so lucky and I'm so unlucky? I can work hard, but what's the use of my hard work?
"They were all agencies, and they tricked me into signing a contract for eight years.
"It's not fun at all. I can't eat enough for a day, and now he wants me to drink with him. I'll die with him."
As she spoke, she picked up the croissant in front of her and stuffed it into her mouth: "I'm so fat that I'm going to see if anyone wants me to drink with you."
Shen Xiyin took out a tissue and handed it over: "My eye makeup is so wet."
At this moment.
Xu Menghan's cell phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was her agent George calling.
She swiped her thumb, put it to her ear, and asked in an aggressive tone: "What are you doing?"
"Why didn't you come to the company? Do you know how much work you have to catch up on today? There will also be Mr. Wang's drinking party tonight. Last time you made a fool of yourself, Mr. Wang was very angry. I tried my best to give you a chance to apologize. You
Go over and apologize to Mr. Wang tonight, otherwise you will know the consequences." The manager's voice came from the mobile phone.
"Fuck you! I want to release a song, and if you don't send me a song, I won't do it!" After Xu Menghan finished speaking, she slapped her cell phone on the table, feeling very relieved.
Within a few seconds, the agent George called again.
Xu Menghan turned the phone over and refused to answer.
Shen Xiyin looked on and advised: "Don't be so impulsive. If you fall out, there will be no way to end it."
The phone rang several times but didn't answer.
The agent directly sent a text message: "Xu Menghan, are you crazy? Answer the phone! If you dare not go to so many jobs, you will have to pay for the losses!"
Xu Menghan glanced at the text message, answered the phone, and said: "I figured it out. If you don't send me songs, I won't accept commercial performances in the future. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, I won't do it."
"Have you thought that if you don't accept the job, the company will support you like a loser? I'm warning you, show up at the company within half an hour, otherwise you'll have to wait for a lawyer's letter!" the agent warned.
"Go ahead and sue me. I'll lose if I frown." After Xu Menghan cursed, her whole mind came to a clear point. She hung up the phone and stretched out, feeling like she was finally relieved.
Shen Xiyin frowned and said, "Are we really going to have a falling out with the agency?"
Xu Menghan stretched himself and said with a comfortable expression on his face: "I haven't been this relaxed for a long time. I didn't dare to quarrel with my agent before because I was worried about being judged.
"Now that we have had a falling out, I feel relaxed, like I have a new lease of life.
"Why should I be bullied by the company? I will go home when I go home. I will quit working. The worst is, in five years, I will be a good man again."
Shen Xiyin looked stunned: "Are you really going back?"
"If you can't survive anymore, then go home. No matter how big the deal is, I will come back to see you when I have time." Xu Menghan reached out and patted Shen Xiyin on the shoulder.
"But……"
Shen Xiyin didn't know what to say.
When Xu Menghan went out, she took a taxi back to her residence, packed a few clothes, and then really took the train home.
Before getting in the car, she sent Shen Xiyin a WeChat message: I went home and left all the things in the room for you. There are still a few sets of unopened skin care products in the drawer. You can use them all. The meat on the windowsill, Help me water it, just once a month. It will become strong.
When Shen Xiyin saw this WeChat message, she wanted to click on the voice call, but hesitated for a while and never clicked on it.
At this time, she didn't know what to say to comfort Xu Menghan.
When it comes to the agency, she is indeed luckier than Xu Menghan.
She thought about it for a long time, then returned to the company and knocked on Tong Fei's office door: "Mr. Tong, can I have a few words with you?"
Tong Fei was looking down at the documents, looked up, and waved her in.
Shen Xiyin sat on the chair in front of the desk, hesitated for a while and then asked: "Mr. Tong, is it true that you can't sign Meng Han over?"
Tong Fei looked up at her for a while and said, "I can understand your desire to help your friends, but there are some rules that cannot be broken.
"Today we poach artists from other companies, and another day a company will poach our artists.
"If you want to help her get a job or something, I can still help. I won't help with the dispute with the agency."
In the entertainment industry, it’s not big or small, it’s not small.
Tong Fei has always been looking for multiple wins, and poaching artists from other companies is actually very offending and not good for her reputation.
Moreover, companies in the entertainment industry have a criss-cross network of connections, so you might bump into them that day.
Besides, Xu Menghan is really not important enough to offend an entertainment company for her sake.
Shen Xiyin actually understands this truth, but truth is truth. She always wants to help Xu Menghan, but there is no way.
She sighed: "Now Menghan has had a falling out with her agent. She just packed her things to go home. She may be in the car now."
Tong Fei smiled and said: "Actually, you really don't need to worry about her, her family situation is better than yours. If she can't survive, she has a way out, but you can't.
"Besides, your contract with Huan Xuan has just expired, so I sent someone to talk to Huan Xuan and asked them not to discredit you.
"You are in the contract handover period now. It is best not to get involved in other people's contract disputes, otherwise it will be very detrimental to you."
Shen Xiyin did not expect this at first.
Hearing what Tong Fei said, her heart suddenly tightened.
This is indeed the case.
Her contract with her old club had just expired and she immediately signed with Guangguang Entertainment.
Although we have reached an agreement now and broke up peacefully without any quarrel, it is indeed a sensitive period. If you get involved in other people's contract disputes, you will definitely be dragged into the water.
Shen Xiyin had no choice but to nod and agree: "I know, I will be careful."
…
At night.
Shen Xiyin returned to her residence, thought again and again, and called Xu Menghan: "Are you home?"
"I'm home. I'm sitting in my room now, drinking soup made by my mother and watching TV shows. I have decided to just lie down like this from now on. In five years, I will come back to the world depending on the situation. You have to work harder and persevere. I am so popular that the day I come back to the world." Xu Menghan was in a very good mood.
Shen Xiyin heard her tone and knew that she was indeed in good condition, so she felt relieved and said, "After you left, I went back to chat with Mr. Tong.
"Maybe I really can't help you. My own contract is still in the handover stage. It will be very troublesome to get involved in contract disputes at this time."
Xu Menghan said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about this. I'm lying at home now, watching TV series and eating snacks every day. I don't know how comfortable it is."
"I'm planning to go on a trip during the National Day holiday. I don't know how many people are envious of my salty life."
Shen Xiyin fell silent, and Xu Menghan on the other side also stopped talking.
The two of them were talking on the phone, and the atmosphere was a bit delicate.
After a long time, Shen Xiyin asked: "Actually, you are still unwilling to give in, right?"
Xu Menghan sighed and said: "There must be a point, but I can't do anything about it. I'll hide for a while and then talk."
Shen Xiyin said comfortingly: "Don't worry, talk to the agency first. If you need help with anything, just ask. Mr. Tong also said that if you want to be on the show, you can help."
Xu Menghan continued to sigh: "Actually, even if you don't tell me, I know that if you ask Mr. Tong for help on the show, Mr. Tong will definitely help.
"But can I help you once or twice? You can't keep asking for help, right?
"I understand the situation, but actually I'm just not important enough to deserve special treatment.
"In the final analysis, it's just that the strength is not good enough.
"If I had Fang Xing's level of strength, the boss of that shabby brokerage company would have to kneel down and beg me to help him make money."
Shen Xiyin agreed: "Actually, it's the same for me. If my contract hadn't expired, I wouldn't have been able to join the Light. In fact, what Mr. Tong meant was that he didn't want to have contract disputes with other companies..."
When Xu Menghan heard this, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind, and she quickly asked: "What did you say? You said that Tong always doesn't want to have contract disputes with other companies, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want me?"
"this……"
Shen Xiyin frowned and said uncertainly: "I'm not sure what Mr. Tong meant. Anyway, she was worried that Guangwang had just been established and didn't want to offend other companies."
Xu Menghan snapped her fingers and said: "Then I understand. Anyway, as long as I don't have contract disputes, there is still hope of joining the Rays?"
Shen Xiyin said uncertainly: "Although Mr. Tong has never made such a promise, I think it should be possible. If not, I will go with you to plead for mercy."
Xu Menghan suddenly became excited: "No, Mr. Tong is right. The contract dispute is between me and that crappy agency, and we can't bring anyone else into it.
"If I want to join the Rays, I have to solve this problem myself.
"Don't tell Mr. Tong about this, otherwise someone will say that she instigated me to do this.
"In short, if I want to join the Ray, I have to resolve all disputes and join the Ray cleanly."
Shen Xiyin frowned and asked, "But how do you solve it?"
"What else can I do? Please beg my parents. If they sell a few properties, they should be enough to compensate for the liquidated damages. Fortunately, I am the second generation of demolition, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to bear it." Xu Menghan made up her mind.
after a few days.
Xu Menghan received a lawyer's letter from the brokerage company, and then took the lawyer's letter and cried to her parents: "Mom and Dad, the brokerage company is going to sue me. They want me to accompany them for drinks. If I refuse to drink, they will pay liquidated damages..."
"This is unreasonable! How many times have I told you, what kind of girl group is this? Can there be good people in the entertainment industry?" Xu's father was immediately furious.
"Compensate him! Even if you sell the house, compensate him. Don't be afraid, your parents are here." Xu's mother looked distressed and doting on her face.
