Chapter 466: This is the best way to survive in Tongji
Phoenix Entertainment and Yu Li's three managers have not noticed anything unusual at this time.
I really thought that the three of them were just too tired and wanted to take time off to rest.
Until later, I suddenly discovered that no one could be found in the company or the residence here.
Even the three people's luggage was packed and taken away.
It was only then that the agents realized something was wrong.
None of this is the key. The key is that the agents don't know where these three people have gone.
...
"People disappeared?"
Not surprisingly, the news still reached Li Bokai.
The main reason is that Yu Li and the other three are the ones he focuses on, and many senior executives in the company know about this.
Now he is gone and I don’t even know where he went.
I can't keep this kind of thing a secret for long, so I can only tell Li Bokai truthfully.
As for Chairman Li Bokai, let’s not talk about how many messy things he does every day.
Mainly because this thing sounds a little strange.
People disappear suddenly without any so-called reason or relevant signs.
Why did he disappear suddenly?
What's more, the resources that Yu Li and the others have in the company are definitely first-rate.
Although he is only a third-tier artist and a newcomer, his resources are even better than those of some companies' first-tier artists.
There is absolutely no need to play missing!
Finally, it was confirmed with the agent and other senior executives.
Everyone agreed that the main reason why people disappeared was that the announcements and schedules during this period were too full.
After all, the three of them are still so young, so they must be unable to adapt to such a busy work pace.
It's actually understandable to be petty.
Although Li Bokai was angry, he also understood the importance of Yu Li and the others to Phoenix Entertainment today.
We are preparing to set it as a benchmark for this new group of people.
This proves that his previous reforms and decision to overhaul the company's artists were correct.
So he endured it and just said he would get the person back first.
Try to appease them and reduce some of the original announcements.
...
Just when everyone thought the matter was over, they were about to go find someone.
But a certain senior executive suddenly came over.
"Director Li, Tongji Entertainment sent an email."
Li Bokai was stunned for a moment, even though he and Tongji Entertainment had always interacted in various fields before.
But actually, strictly speaking, there isn’t much real contact.
"What's the content of the email?"
Hearing Li Bokai's question, the senior executive hesitated, but still answered:
"It's about the termination of the contract between Yu Li and the others..."
After Li Bokai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of disbelief on his face.
After reading this email, he was sure that the disappeared Yu Li and the other two people actually went to Tongji Entertainment!
...
"I felt at that time that Xu Ji was not so kind!"
"It turns out that we had planned to poach people from the beginning!"
At the high-level meeting of Phoenix Entertainment, someone said indignantly.
As the chairman, Li Borui was distracted all the time. On the contrary, Li Bokai next to him had a cold face the whole time.
"There's no need to talk about this nonsense!"
"Now tell me what to do!"
Li Bokai directly interrupted the senior executive who was still planning to complain about Tongji Entertainment and Xu Ji.
The scene suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
At this time, someone said: "Director Li, we have a contract with Yu Li and the others, and Tongji Entertainment has to pay for breach of contract."
Li Bokai asked without changing his expression: "How much is the default fee?"
The other party replied: "According to the rules of the contract, they are a B-level contract. The total penalty for the three of them is about eight million."
"However, if we follow the normal legal process, the court will definitely not support the full compensation. If we are entangled in the dispute, we can get a breach of contract fee of five million."
When Li Bokai heard this, he felt quite helpless.
For today's Tongji Entertainment, a breach of contract fee of several million, although it may seem like a lot, is nothing at all.
The main reason is that the level of Yu Li's contract is too low, so the breach of contract fee is unlikely to be too high.
"Can you delay the case longer so that the three of them can't participate in performances for a short period of time?"
Someone mentioned it.
In fact, doing so does not bring much benefit to Phoenix Entertainment.
But it can make Tongji Entertainment disgusting.
"This method will no longer work. The official will continue to support them in continuing their performances."
"If we maliciously delay the relevant progress, it may also make the breach of contract fee we receive even lower."
"and......"
"To be honest, for Tongji Entertainment, there are not many announcements for its artists, and most of them are even too lazy to participate. They probably don't care about it either."
Someone spoke up and reminded me.
Hearing the comments from everyone present, Li Bokai suddenly felt exhausted physically and mentally.
Fortunately, at the end of the Spring Festival Gala, he still felt that Xu Ji did not deliberately target Phoenix Entertainment and even helped their singers write songs, so he was a good person.
Now it seems that this guy is really insidious.
I guess I had already made preparations to poach people when I was helping the three of them write songs.
The only thing he regrets is why he didn't increase the contract level of the three people at that time.
As a result, even if you break the contract and change jobs, the price you pay is not high.
Moreover, these newcomers actually signed short-term contracts with Phoenix Entertainment, which are three-year contracts.
So far, more than half of the contract period has passed, which gives them even less advantage.
Li Bokai had some doubts about the previous entertainment industry.
At that time, even a B-level contract could still be signed for 30 to 40 years. If an artist wanted to change jobs, it was tantamount to wishful thinking.
Later, the authorities put great restrictions on this aspect.
If the agency wants to freeze an artist, the restrictions in the contract are actually not very useful.

This is the so-called unilateral blocking by the company.
If it were another company, even the other two of the Big Three, if they wanted to deliberately target an artist, it would definitely still be effective.
But Tongji Entertainment, their so-called ban is of no use at all.
Because the so-called resources of Tongji Entertainment are basically their own.
There is no need to look at other people’s or company’s opinions.
Phoenix Entertainment's ban on Tongji is not unprecedented before.
Not only did it not play a big role, but the fact that Phoenix Entertainment banned Tong Ji became a joke within the industry.
...
The high-level meeting of Phoenix Entertainment lasted for nearly more than an hour.
But basically it's just the words that go back and forth.
Otherwise, severely condemn Xu Ji and Tongji Entertainment for their unethical behavior.
Otherwise, we started discussing the issue of lawsuits for liquidated damages. After all, we only got millions of liquidated damages.
Even as the discussion deepened, the price of compensation became lower and lower.
Li Bokai was completely out of mood at this time.
In other words, he accepted his fate and waved his hand to stop the discussion among everyone present.
Then directly indicate that the meeting is dismissed.
Although he still seemed very calm, it is said that after returning to his office, Director Li smashed a lot of things in anger.
The impact of Yu Li and the others quitting their jobs to go to Tongji Entertainment goes beyond that.
As a newcomer who joined Phoenix later, this incident quickly spread throughout the company.
Especially among the newcomers who came in with the three of them.
"When will we have such luck?"
"Can you be poached by Tongji Entertainment?"
——"Keep your voice down. If the company finds out that you have such thoughts, it will be over."
In fact, for newcomers like them, the departure of Yu Li and the other three should be a good thing.
After all, the three of them previously occupied a lot of resource support.
Now that they are gone, these resources will belong to them.
But in comparison, everyone is still more envious of being able to enter Tongji Entertainment.
Unknowingly, among the new generation of singers or artist groups, the appeal of Tongji Entertainment has surpassed the three established ones.
Although compared with other companies in the entertainment industry, Phoenix Entertainment is already a pretty good company.
After all, the three major resources and foundations are here.
The company's artists will definitely be able to have good development.
But compared to Tongji Entertainment, everyone still hopes to join Xu Ji's company.
After all, in Phoenix Entertainment, the company has a large number of artists and competition is fierce.
But if you join Tongji, not only will it be possible for Xu Ji to write songs for you personally, but you will also be able to participate in TV series and movies produced by Tongji Entertainment.
And you are very free, you can even not participate in variety shows, and the company will not force you to arrange these announcements at all.
Everyone is not stupid, including some old people before Tongji Entertainment, as well as other people who joined later, the current development is obvious to all.
...
At this time in Rongcheng, Yu Li and the other two people who had finally joined Tongji Entertainment seemed extremely excited.
Of course, the three of them suddenly came to a new environment and still seemed a little uncomfortable.
Mainly because the degree of freedom here in Tongjiyue is too high.
When they were at Phoenix Entertainment, the three of them basically needed to report to the company for any suitable itinerary.
As a result, after coming to Tongji Entertainment, apart from meeting Youman once, I was basically in a state of confusion not knowing what to do.
The main reason is that Tongji Entertainment really doesn’t care about anything.
Whether it was the place where the three of them lived or various work aspects, they had no intention of interfering at all.
It's up to them to decide.
Let's talk about poor resources. In fact, Tongji Entertainment's resources are not only not bad, but they are much better than when they were at Phoenix Entertainment.
There are so many variety shows or performances that you can choose from at the company that you can’t even count them.
Most cooperation invitations sent by performers or variety show groups do not mention who is invited at all, as long as they are singers under Tongji Entertainment.
But here at Tongji Entertainment, not many people would take the initiative to contact and choose.
Only a small part is accepted.
...
"Our company is different from other companies. We plan performances and variety shows ourselves, including endorsements and so on."
"If necessary, you can ask the company to arrange a broker, or you can hire one yourself. Anyway, you have full decision-making power."
Yu Li and the other three met the four members of the Screaming Band in a singing practice room of Tongji Entertainment.
They had just returned from their hometown recently and heard that a new recruit had been signed, so they came to share their experience.
"Is it entirely up to us?"
"The company doesn't have any arrangements?"
Yu Li couldn't help but feel a little dull. It was surprising that the contract signed by the three of them had no penalty for breach of contract.
The degree of freedom in all aspects is still so high. Is there really such a company?
"Most of the time, yes. Sometimes the boss will still let us go to the show, but if we don't want to go or something happens, we can refuse."
"For example, at the previous Spring Festival Gala, Kong Cheng and Yu Feifei didn't go because they were working on a new album."
Xu Zhize's words surprised them a little.
Good guy, there are still people who refuse this Spring Festival Gala.
It was Xu Ji, the boss, who personally invited me, but he rejected them all.
"Then what should we do now?"
Yu Li was a little confused.
When they were at Phoenix Entertainment, the schedules of the three of them were full and they had no free time at all.
But when it came to Tongji Entertainment, it was completely the opposite.
The company has no arrangements at all, they need to make their own choices
There are so many choices that it’s hard to figure out how to plan.
The four members of the Scream band don't mind giving their own advice.
Lead singer Xu Zhize said seriously:
"Actually, it doesn't matter. It mainly depends on your own choice."

happy."
Yu Li was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't it our company's tradition not to accept variety shows?"
Their previous impressions of Tongji Entertainment basically stayed in this aspect.
That is, the artists under Tongji Entertainment rarely appear in variety shows.
Xu Zhize shook his head.
"Of course not. As I said, the decision in this regard is yours."
"But I personally suggest that there is no need to participate in too many variety shows. Apart from making money and gaining exposure, it is of little use."
Yu Li and the other two didn't think much about it, so they all agreed.
Seniors in other companies don’t take part in variety shows, why don’t you do it yourself, so that people won’t feel like you’re being swayed by money?
Moreover, he broke tradition and was looked down upon by others.
"If you don't accept variety shows, then what you need to consider is to participate in a large number of performances."
"This can help you accumulate live performance experience and also help improve your singing skills."
Yu Li and the three of them listened attentively.
Xu Zhize is not lying. The original Scream Band actually came about this way.
"I heard from Sister Man that the boss wrote a new song for you, didn't he?"
"There are also related song MV scripts."
"Your first task now is to finish recording this song, and at the same time find a director in the company to help you shoot the song's MV."
Xu Zhize said very seriously: "This is more useful than no matter how many variety shows you participate in."
"Of course, there is another very important thing, which is more important than what I said before!"
Yu Li and the other three were stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Zhize, who had a serious look on his face.
"As long as I have time and opportunity, I must ask my boss to help me write songs!"
"Don't think about losing face, just rub it in and out, and fight to the end!"
“This is the best way to survive in Tongji!”
Xu Zhize's words made the three of them stunned for a moment.
Seeing how serious the other party was, they both felt that it would be a very important matter.
Although it is indeed important to let Xu Ji help write songs, it always feels a bit inconsistent.
Xu Zhize looked at the confused expressions of the three people, but remained calm.
After all, he is a newcomer and still young, so in the future, he will know how important what he said is.
