Lou Xuan chose to cooperate with several love beans.

"Signing a contract is a cake painted by the other party."

In artist contract disputes, artists often take the initiative to "run away" and take the initiative to file a lawsuit. What is the core reason for the artist to propose to cancel the contract? In fact, in the trainee circle, contract problems abound, artists who can be concerned by the public have a certain reputation, and there are many "nameless love beans" trapped by contracts behind them. Where is their way out?

Du Nan Entertainment found the trainee of Youth with You, and chose from the main building of the media blog, trying to understand the position of artists in the contract game. Lou Xuanxuan had the experience of canceling the contract twice and sent a letter on his own initiative. Later, he learned that his contract may not have taken effect at all. I have also suffered from being terminated, mocking "poor performance and being fired". In these two processes, the brokerage company always holds the initiative.

Unstamped contract: "Does the company say we have this artist?"

Lou Xuanxuan's two signings are related to idol talent show. At the end of 20 15, 16-year-old Lou Xuan chose to participate in the men's team development plan "Star Motion Asia 2", which required all players to sign contracts with the producer Haiyao (Shanghai) Film and Television Media Co., Ltd., and the public should be familiar with its subsidiary Yihai Culture. The contract dispute with Kun for nearly two years was finally won by Kun, and the judgment of terminating the brokerage contract came to an end. "At that time, we were told that we were not allowed to enter (the program) without signing a contract." In order to participate in the program smoothly, Lou Xuan chose to accept this ten-year contract with a penalty of 80 million yuan without much thought.

"I don't think anyone should have considered the horror of 80 million at that time." Lou Xuanxuan, like most people, thinks, "If you can be on the show, you can be hot." He added that 80 million yuan is only the basic figure stipulated in the contract, and it will be superimposed according to the time and years when the contract expires, so the actual liquidated damages are likely to be hundreds of millions. Looking back now, he thinks it is ridiculous. "How dare they write this number?" "You see, how easy it is to deceive us children! A program can lie to us for ten years. "

And signed the overlord clause, Lou Xuanxuan didn't get the treatment that the signing artists deserved. After a tour of the program, he was asked to move out of the hotel immediately and live in a small basement. The food originally served has also stopped. "The broker can't be contacted, and everyone seems to have disappeared out of thin air." Lou Xuanxuan felt isolated. "Just wait there for the news." A week later, under constant urging, he was able to return to China.

Since then, Lou Xuanxuan has been neglected. "No one will take the initiative to contact you." During this period, he repeatedly asked if there was any work arrangement, and the answer was "no, wait for the time being." No notice, no living expenses. Lu Xuanxuan said: "The only thing this company did for me was a three-page PPT. The photo was taken three years ago, and even the photo was not willing to take one for me. " The empty window period lasted for nearly a year, and he sprouted the idea of understanding the Covenant.

After proposing to terminate the contract, Lou Xuanxuan got the reply "Please go through formal legal procedures". He turned to legal means, and the lawyer told him that if the other party did not reply within 15 working days after receiving the notice of termination of the contract, the contract would be automatically terminated. Lou Xuanxuan hesitated at first, but finally decided to take a gamble. On the one hand, he felt that "they really don't care about me." On the one hand, Haiyan's legal affairs also hinted at him, "It's okay, Xiao Lou, just send it. It will be fine under normal circumstances. " On 20 16, 12, 16, Lou Xuan chose to send a notification letter, but there was no news in the end, which means that he successfully terminated the contract.

After restoring "freedom", Lou Xuanxuan learned the most dramatic part of the story-maybe his contract didn't take effect at all. In fact, in the process of preparing to cancel the contract, he found that he didn't get the contract in duplicate, so he also mentioned in his letter of notification that "your company still hasn't given me the original contract after my repeated reminders." But he never imagined that his original contract was not stamped at all.

Lou Xuanxuan later learned from the relevant staff that the boss knew that he was going to cancel the contract and directly asked, "Do we have this artist?" I searched the list of signed artists, but there was no name. Then I went to look for the contract, only to find that the contract was not even stamped. The final conclusion is: if you are sure to cancel the contract, take it and stamp it. If you don't cancel the contract, you won't be guaranteed. Lou Xuanxuan thinks this is a sign that the company doesn't want to be responsible. "All the initiative is in their hands."

Terminated: "Good reunion, just a little sudden."

Compared with Yu Yuyao's inaction, confusion and absurdity, the cooperation between Lou Xuan and Erlian is much smoother. At the end of 20 18, in order to participate in youth with you, he became a member of "Mindray Zisi". Lou Xuanxuan is very satisfied with the training and cultivation of the students. Mai Rui provided them with rich resources, including accommodation, specialized courses, photo shooting and small group comprehensive shooting, with a monthly subsidy of 2,500 yuan. "The teachers are very good. They are all teachers of cube (Korean Entertainment Company)."

However, the sinking letter of cancellation still left Lou Xuan with a lingering fear. To be on the safe side, he also signed a supplementary agreement with the company to the effect that if there are still problems with the contract with the original company, the contract with the new company will be automatically terminated. This time, Lou Xuan chose how long he was. He consulted his lawyer in advance to see if there were any loopholes in the terms and invited his family to discuss them together. However, he did not focus on the eight-year contract period and seven-figure liquidated damages, but raised objections to the sharing ratio.

"The initial score was too low." Lou Xuanxuan and his mother tried to talk a little higher, but failed to do so, and finally got a compromise figure. The boss told him, "all of you have the same contract, so don't pester us."

However, after comparing Lou Xuanxuan with his companions, he found that everyone's contract was different. "Some people's starting point is my end point, or my end point is not enough, and even their wages (referring to living allowance) are different." He was also taught a lesson, "so never believe what the boss said, just fight for your rights."

"The outside world may not know that I was terminated." One morning not long after the end of "Youth has You", Lou Xuan was called back to the office with a piece of paper in front of her. "After I was eliminated, the company has always had a bad impression on me because I didn't meet their expectations. I may also find this person's future planning a bit difficult to figure out. It is equal to feeling that your performance is not good, and the company will fire you. "

Lou Xuan chose to remember the scene when signing the contract. "They told me that Mai Rui is a great loss without you. Maybe now you know who I am. Ha ha ha ha ha "he joked.

In fact, on the whole, Lou Xuanxuan is very grateful to this company. "They have really done a lot for me and are doing their best." In addition, he himself wanted to go back to school to continue his studies, so he agreed and understood the agreement. "I think it was a good reunion, but it was a little sudden."

Three words of advice, three factors and three ways.

The above two experiences also made Lou Xuan choose to sign the contract. "When I signed the third company, I didn't panic at all. I don't need a lawyer to see it. I talked directly and it was very successful. "

He compared signing a contract to falling in love. First, it should be suitable for every company. Every company has a threshold for every company, and it is clear that its strength can match the company of which position. "Everyone can see a good prospect. Why can a person with ordinary conditions in all aspects be seen by big companies? "

Second, check more information, ask questions if you can, and listen to suggestions. "The authorities are fascinated. When the other person talks to you, you feel that all the good things in the world are coming to me. In fact, others will know that they are not interested in you. Maybe this company is Neptune, and now there are many scammers. " Third, we must be confident, know how to protect ourselves and strive for reasonable rights and interests. "Signing a contract is a cake for both parties. He will draw you a cake, and you will draw him a cake. "

Lou Xuanxuan concluded that the core factors of the artist's termination are nothing more than "how much money he earned", "degree of attention" and "professional level of the company". Disputes over money often appear in artists who already have a certain reputation. "If you can make money, you naturally don't want to be separated from the company." If the company does not involve other breach of contract, Lou Xuan thinks that it is mostly the artist's problem. "The company signed you just to cultivate you. You are angry and want to throw away the company, which is actually against the spirit of the contract. Where do you think everything about you came from? I still have to be grateful to my old club. "

Being ignored is more of a subjective feeling. So how to judge whether the brokerage company is interested in artists? Lu Xuanxuan told us that from the artist's point of view, "a really good agent should always care about you, pay attention to what you are doing today, urge you to do what you want to do today, and always share possible opportunities and information with you."

As for the last point, it is usually accumulated in trivial matters and can only be deduced through detailed enumeration. "unprofessional" is often the biggest "crime" that artists and fans accuse brokerage companies of.

Lou Xuanxuan gave us an example. Once, his agent gave him a registered email address for variety shows, asking him to fill in his resume and submit videos. Lou Xuanxuan is a little resistant. He bluntly said that for artists with a little experience, it is completely possible to omit the audition and directly interview the program group. After a while, the program contacted him actively and said that he wanted to invite him to the program, hoping to have a chat with him. In Lou Xuanxuan's view, this is unprofessional. "I prefer you to give me the opportunity to communicate with the program group, rather than give me a paper registration form that everyone can get."
