2153, This Second Young Master Yu treats Yang Yi very unusually
There are several types of agency contracts in the entertainment industry, distinguished by s, a, b, and c. C-level contracts are generally for newcomers. Although this kind of contract has a long term, the liquidated damages in the later period are the highest among these contracts.
Relatively speaking the smallest.
The next step is B-level contracts, but these usually don't last more than five years. They are contracts signed with artists who have some of their own works and a certain number of fans.
This kind of contract has a short term, but the liquidated damages are very high. Since Yang Yi signed it for ten years, the liquidated damages are probably astronomical.
"Sister Yiyi, how much liquidated damages will you have to pay if you break the contract?"
"Two hundred million."
Yang Yi whispered, and everyone gasped again, secretly cursing that Yang Yi's agency was nothing.
Shu Manting listened and counted the zeros on her fingers.
"This is too much. The salary and advertising fees I received last year were less than 3 million or 200 million. How many years do I have to save."
"You girl, that's not how you calculate it. You were a newcomer last year. Think about how much higher your salary for taking on roles this year is compared to last year."
Xu Weiwei, who was next to her, patted Shu Manting's head and said with a smile.
Shumanting scratched her head and said.
"But the company still has to take 70% of the salary, and then my agent still has to take 10%. I also have to pay the assistant's salary. In fact, I don't get much."
The more Shu Manting talked about it, the more she felt that she was at a disadvantage. She was obviously the one who worked hard, but in the end she received only two-tenths of the total salary. The key was before tax.
Being disturbed by Shuman Ting, the atmosphere relaxed a lot.
"You, don't be ignorant of blessings. Yaohua Media's rookie contract is already the conscience of the industry. If you change to another agency, I don't know if you can get 10%. And I remember that Yaohua Media's rookie contract can be as low as
Those who sign for six years are different from other brokerage companies who start signing for ten years."
Yang Yi's face was full of envy. Why didn't she make a careful comparison at the beginning and just signed a deal with such a disgusting agency in a muddle-headed manner?
Shu Manting thought for a while and finally nodded.
"This seems to be the case. The contracts of many of my classmates are harsher than mine. My contract is for eight years, but after three years, I can increase my share of the profits based on the profits I make for the company."
Speaking of this, Shumanting smiled and said again.
"Actually, I have to thank Sister Xiaoxi for being able to sign in Yaohua Media. It was she who recommended me to Sister Zhenni."
Seeing Shu Manting's expression getting happier and happier as she talked, Yang Yi was not only envious but also envious and lamented why he was not as lucky as Shu Manting.
Yu Muxi remained silent and listened to this silently. Until then, he suddenly asked.
"Is this liquidated damages written in the contract? Does the contract also have to state the company's responsibilities to the artists? If the responsibilities are not fulfilled, can the liquidated damages still count?"
"This is the truth, but if an artist wants to file a lawsuit with a management company, first of all, you must have time to spend with them, and you must have money to hire a professional lawyer. Our industry has also won such breach of contract lawsuits.
But look at everyone who has not already established a foothold in our industry. Even so, there are still people who stumble."
Liu Nan said unfavorably.
Speaking of this, Liu Nan looked at Yang Yi again, thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Yiyi, it's not that I'm looking down on you. I'm just seeking truth from facts. With Yiyi's current status in the industry, there is no chance of winning this lawsuit. Generally, such lawsuits last for a year, and some may even last longer. Yiyi
Can you afford the energy consumption? Women only have a few years at their best. Once a lawsuit is filed, all your work will stop. To put it bluntly, even if you win the lawsuit, you will return after a year.
How many people remember you? Our industry is updating and iterating too fast, with new people emerging every day."
Yang Yi didn't mind such straightforward words. She had thought about it herself, so she had been enduring it since it happened. After all, she really couldn't afford the price unless she was willing to give up everything she had gained so far.
Yu Muxi didn't say anything anymore, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to care at all.
After that, no one continued the topic. It was really a bit heavy, and no one asked what happened to Yang Yi and the agency.
The meal ended quickly. Yang Yi had no appetite at all. Seeing that no one had any intention of leaving, she put down her spoon and said.
"Sister Liu Nan, Sister Weiwei, please use it slowly. I'm going back to apply medicine on my feet."
"Well, it's okay. If you have anything to do, you can go back first. As for the show, we are thinking of another way. Anyway, remember, you are the best candidate for this show."
When Liu Nan said this, Yang Yi's nose felt sore again.
"Thank you, Sister Liu Nan, I'll leave first."
After saying that, Yang Yi stood up and left. Everyone sighed when they saw her leaving.
At this time, Yu Muxi also put down the tableware.
"Four beauties, please use your time, Miss Liu, we will discuss the program in detail later, I will leave first."
Then, Yu Muxi got up and left, without waiting for any response from these beauties. Judging from his footsteps, he was still in a hurry.
Liu Nan glanced at it, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and Xu Weiwei spoke at the side.
"It seems that Second Young Master Yu is very special to Yang Yi."
As expected of someone who has been in the industry for many years, he has really poisonous eyes.
After hearing this, Liu Nan smiled and did not speak immediately, but Jie'er beside her said something meaningful.
"This Second Young Master Yu is already very romantic, and Yang Yi's outfit yesterday was so coquettish and beautiful. To be honest, as a woman, I'm very jealous, so it's not surprising that Second Young Master Yu has taken a liking to her."
"Jie'er, you are still too young. I think this Second Young Master Yu doesn't treat Yang Yi like he did those other women in the past. This time, he is a little more sincere."
When Xu Weiwei spoke, there was a smile on her face.
When Jie'er heard this, she was a little curious and a little surprised.
"Sister Weiwei, you mean that Second Young Master Yu is tempted."
"Maybe, anyway, I think it's different from others. Over the years, have you seen this Second Young Master Yu be so obsessed with any woman? The most he can do is introduce some resources."
"That's true. I remember that Lan Xuanning had a conflict with the agency the year before last. She seemed to be Yu Ershao's woman at that time, and I didn't see Yu Ershao stand up and say anything."
"Wait a minute, Sister Weiwei, Sister Jie'er, what are you talking about? Second Young Master Yu likes Sister Yiyi? How did you tell?"
Shu Manting looked confused. They were sitting together eating and chatting just now. Why didn't she find anything?
When asked this question, Xu Weiwei and the others looked at each other and smiled. Xu Weiwei pinched Shumanting's white and tender face and said.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. You are still young. I hope you will never understand this."
Xu Weiwei likes this little junior sister in the same company very much. She is very simple and very similar to Mo Xi back then. However, Shu Manting does not have the same fate as Mo Xi, so Xu Weiwei is very afraid that this little girl has been in this circle for a long time. She has such innocence.
It's gone.
Shu Manting pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Sister Weiwei, I'm nineteen. I'm already a sophomore. I'm not young anymore."
Xu Weiwei didn't respond, just smiled, then looked at Liu Nan and said something.
"Liu Nan, do you think Yang Yi will join your show?"
Liu Nan thought for a moment and said.
"If Mr. Yu invests, Yang Yi will definitely come back."
It was an affirmative sentence, Xu Weiwei raised her eyebrows and said.
"Oh, you are so confident that Second Young Master Yu can help Yang Yi solve her current predicament."
"Of course, don't forget, they are the Yu family. If nothing else, the 200 million liquidated damages are probably nothing to them."
Speaking of this, Liu Nan thought of Yu Muxi's words when talking about the termination of Yang Yi's contract, and said something more.
"And I have a hunch that you don't have to pay the 200 million liquidated damages."
"I'm so optimistic about it. I'm very curious. If Second Young Master Yu is so powerful, then Star King Entertainment is not a small agency."
Star Emperor Entertainment, the company where Yang Yi works, although not as big as Yaohua Media, is still well-known in the industry.
While they were still talking here, Yu Muxi had already caught up with Yang Yi.
Yang Yi's ankle has improved a lot, but walking is still affected a bit and he can't walk too fast. Yu Muxi caught up with Yang Yi in the elevator.
"Do you want to terminate the contract with your current agency?"
Yu Muxi didn't say hello when he came up and got straight to the point.
Yang Yi was stunned, turned around and saw Yu Muxi, a complicated light flashed in his eyes, and then he was silent for a moment and nodded.
"I think, since that night, there has never been a moment when I didn't want to terminate my contract with Star King Entertainment, but I know this is not realistic."
"So, just endure it like this, and then after your previous work is over, you will be hidden by the company, and you will come back until the end of the contract? By then, do you think you still have a place in this industry?"
Yu Muxi's words sounded a bit harsh and aggressive, and Yang Yi's face gradually turned pale, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
Perhaps thinking of her grievances and pressure during this period, Yang Yi's eyes turned slightly red, and a layer of mist covered her eyes, but she was still very stubborn and did not let the mist rush out of her eyes.
"What can I do? I'm just a second-tier actor. Even if I'm sold, I won't be able to get that much termination fee."
Yang Yi said angrily, now she has no way out, unless she agrees to the people in the company to exchange her body for the career she wants. But in this way, all her resistance that night in the club seemed extremely ridiculous
.
Yu Muxi didn't want to see a woman cry, especially when this woman seemed to have entered his heart. Seeing Yang Yi's stubborn expression, he wanted to step forward, hold her in his arms, and say something gentle.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
But Yu Muxi was still very rational and knew that now was not the time. He pondered for a moment and then said.
"Do you believe me? I'll help you solve this matter."
Yang Yi suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. What was this man saying just now?
Yang Yi looked at the man in front of her with confusion, but she didn't say a word.
When Yu Muxi saw this, he knew that this woman was frightened. He smiled and was about to take a step forward, but after thinking about it, he stopped his steps and said.
"I'm talking about your matter with Star Emperor Entertainment, and I can help you solve it, okay?"
