Dingsheng Villa, Room 0702, seventh floor, Building 4.
Because he studied late for a year and then took a year off due to illness, Zhang Tai, who was over 18 years old and signed a trainee contract without telling his parents, did not come back to talk about this until the matter was settled. thing.
Then his dad went crazy.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do? Who asked you to make your own decisions? We haven't seen or heard of the ethics of the entertainment industry? How many people have demolished their houses over the years, and how many people have gone in directly? You are wading into this smelly water What are you doing? Do you think your life at home is too peaceful?"
"How could you do such a big thing without telling us, and even signed a contract with someone on your own initiative? You are not afraid that they will sell you out. Didn't you read the news a while ago? How many people were deceived and had their waists cut off.
How can you be so brave..."
"What is the situation now? What contract did you sign? How many years did the contract last? How much is the liquidated damages? Why are you so confused? How much money do you think your family can have to pay you liquidated damages to terminate the contract?"
"Isn't his third uncle a lawyer? Hurry up and show us the contract you signed, and then ask your third uncle to show it to you as well. Also tell us what company you signed and if you can search it online. Why don't you tell us quickly? .”
Zhang Tai's parents were really angry and anxious. Of course they were angry because their son was disobedient and made his own decisions. Didn't they just disagree with him applying for an art school and let him prepare for the college entrance examination next year? As for directly becoming a trainee?
The most outrageous thing is, why does a company really want it?
This is not necessarily a liar!
Some time ago, some trainees and young artists had conflicts with the company. Don't let there be too much news about contract termination. You can see it every day. Today, this one was sued for more than one million yuan.
The one who will be claimed tomorrow for more than two million yuan.
After the first trial of the lawsuit, there is still a second trial, which is very difficult.
This is what the couple is anxious about. They are afraid that the contract signed by their son will be like the contracts mentioned in the news. It will be an unequal contract and it will be difficult to terminate the contract.
It may even cost tens or millions of liquidated damages.
Although it's not that their family can't afford it, such a sudden extra expense for no reason will not only break their muscles and bones, but also make them feel depressed and want to vomit blood.
"Yes, yes, contact his third uncle quickly."
At this moment, Zhang Tai actually tried hard to defend the company. He wanted to say that the company was very good, the contract conditions sounded very good, and the rules were not harsh at all.
Even the teacher and the others saw it.
They are all famous teachers that can be found online.
Three meals a day and accommodation are pretty good. At least for now, it doesn't look like a shady company.
But his parents didn't believe it at all, or they simply didn't bother to listen to what he said. They probably thought he had been deceived and couldn't believe what he said.
That is to directly ignore his argument.
Immediately called the child's third uncle.
First, he roughly told his third uncle about the situation, and then connected via video, and forced a trainee contract from Zhang Tai, took photos, and sent them to his third uncle one by one, waiting. While his third uncle was reading, they themselves were also looking through the contract details.
And the more I looked, the more frightened I became.
Although they couldn't understand many contents of the contract because they were not professionals, they could still understand some relatively simple information. For example, the company spent two million each on them and hired top industry insiders for teaching and tutoring. This amount of money Later profits need to be paid back.
"This company is too evil.
It costs 2 million to hire someone for teaching and tutoring, or 2 million per person. According to this calculation, your company has already spent 10 million on the five of you. This is obviously falsifying the accounts! "
"Is it because the currency in the entertainment industry is different from the currency used by ordinary people? It costs two million to hire a teacher.
Last time I signed you up for a math tutoring class.
It’s only ten thousand for a summer vacation. "
"This company is really evil. If you say that, if you want to terminate the contract, don't you have to pay at least two hundred
Why are there so many clauses for liquidated damages of 10,000 yuan?
Food and accommodation are included, and the basic salary for trainees is 4,000.
After two years, the basic salary will be 8,000, five insurances and one housing fund. "
"This seems pretty good."
"It's not bad. Even if the basic salary is 8,000, how long will it take to repay the 2 million? I have read similar reports on the Internet, saying that the basic salary is a lot, but in fact not a penny will be paid because the money owed to the company has been deducted. .”
"It's over, it's over. Look, isn't this a standard unequal contract? It's a standard contract of sale. If you want to terminate the contract, I'm afraid you have to sell the house."
Based on the understanding of the couple, they have basically concluded that this contract is a contract of prostitution, which is the kind of unequal contract mentioned on the Internet. The company must wait for them to pay liquidated damages before releasing the person.
This damn boy will definitely bring chaos to the family.
Now it's better, the wedding room was defeated by him.
While the couple argued and condemned Zhang Tai, Zhang Tai remained silent. Although the third uncle on the opposite side of the video wanted to refute their misconceptions and kept frowning, he did not speak in the end. Still looking through the trainee contract carefully.
Then he called Zhang Tai over and asked some questions. Zhang Tai talked about his experience in detail and showed the photos of the teachers to his third uncle.
Then his third uncle also searched the Internet and pondered for a while before calling Zhang Tai's parents over:
"You two, stop arguing now. I probably already understand the specific situation. You don't have to worry too much. As for the contract, there is basically no big problem. I have already seen this contract. It is the most formal and least poachable among all entertainment industry contracts. The contract is a pit or a trap.
The issues you are worried about are actually very common in many trainee contracts in the entertainment industry.
Artists can’t debut just by being signed.
You must have some professional qualities, at least you must be able to sing, dance, or act, etc. If you graduate from an art school, that's fine, there are teachers in the school, so you have at least some basics.
But high school students like Xiaotai, or even junior high school students, are definitely not as good as professionals. They need to hire someone to teach them, and all the money is invested by the company.
It’s normal to want to recoup your investment later. "
"No, his third uncle, but the two million is too fake. Your daughter goes to the Children's Palace to learn singing, dancing, etc., doesn't it cost a lot?
Why are they so expensive? Why? "
Zhang Tai’s biological mother Li Hong still feels that it doesn’t make sense.
Zhang Tai's third uncle, Li Yang, sighed helplessly: "Second sister, this is not how the accounts are settled."
"The dance my daughter learned at the Children's Palace is the foundation of the basics. And if one teacher takes dozens of students, the fee will definitely be lower. But I just heard from Xiaotai that the teachers hired by their company are basically It is one-to-one teaching, or at best one-to-five teaching, which is an absolute small class teaching.
Even if you just hire an ordinary teacher to teach, the price will be relatively high, not to mention that the company hires lecturers and even professors from the three major art schools.
Don’t think that the tuition fees of some universities are not high, and the courses taught by the teachers there are not valuable. The tuition fees are not high, but they are subsidies provided by the state. In fact, those teachers go to external schools to give lectures, which cost at least a thousand, or even tens of thousands, per class.
One-on-one tutoring, or small class teaching.
The price will only go higher.
The fees of art schools will only be higher than those of ordinary colleges and universities.
Not to mention the hidden benefits of tutoring them from the lecturers and professors in the three major art schools, which will give them the hidden benefits of taking the three major art schools in the future, and these benefits can be bought with money.
Ordinary people should have some fun. "
"Anyway, let me tell you this, two million compared to the teachers their company hired for them.
The price is really not expensive, purely market price.
If you don’t have any connections, you might not be able to invite him. "
"As long as the other party strictly abides by the contract, Xiaotai will never suffer any loss. If the other party does not abide by the contract, I will not suffer any loss."
He will teach Xiaotai how to collect evidence. Even if he files a contract termination lawsuit, he won't be able to lose much money.
Of course, Xiaotai also has to abide by the contract.
Otherwise, you will be in trouble if you breach the contract first. "
"But I heard people say that the entertainment industry is dying from drought and flooding. Some 18th-tier stars don't make as much money as Internet celebrities. Since the draft was banned, some artists have been picking their feet at home. It's been half a year, and I haven't earned a penny, and whether I'm popular or not is a mystery, isn't it?
No one can guarantee that Xiaotai will become famous!
If I can't become popular, I can't pay back the two million in any month or year just by relying on the minimum salary, not to mention the other expenses that will follow. I guess I have to pay it back. "
His biological father Zhang Hai quickly continued to worry and asked.
Two million is so easy to earn, not to mention that the split seems to be half and half. Doesn't this mean that you have to help the company earn at least four million before you can pay back the two million.
It’s very difficult to think about it.
Wouldn't it be miserable if it still didn't become popular, and it was just a little transparent, or there was no announcement at all.
"Their boss is quite good, and this aspect is also written down. As long as there is no breach of contract, and the income within five years is not enough to repay the investment, it will be written off.
Five years is actually not a long time.
Five years later, Xiaotai had just graduated from college.
Besides, the contract has been signed anyway. If you want to breach the contract now, you will definitely have to pay liquidated damages, so you should implement it according to the contract. Anyway, in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with this contract, and it even has a big impact on Xiaotai Kao Art School. Help, of course, if he doesn't go to art school, it will affect his college entrance examination. "
Li Yang actually doesn't know much about the entertainment industry, so he can only analyze the pros and cons from his professional perspective?
Professionals had said so, and Zhang Tai's parents had no better ideas, so they could only thank Zhang Tai. After hanging up the video connection, they scolded Zhang Tai and had no choice but to admit it, which meant that they agreed to let him enter the art school. After all, things are already like this. What can you do if you don't agree? You can't spend two million to terminate his contract and then force him to take the ordinary college entrance examination. If you have that kind of money, it's better to buy him an apartment.
Compared with Zhang Tai, the other four trainees were all under the age of 18, so their parents were notified when signing the contract. At the same time, their parents also took the contract to someone to read it and made sure there were no problems before signing it. So naturally there is no such thing.
