Chapter 241 Sky Girl Contract Controversy, Signing Plan

The glorious golden song of the first issue of "Singing Loudly" was given to Mr. Tang Songhua, who has a high status in the Chinese music world.

In the second issue, "Golden Armor", a collaboration between Fang Xing and Guo Keda, won the first place and became the glorious golden song of the second issue, and also created a new genre.

Musicians with a keen sense of smell have sensed that Chinese style will become a new trend in the music world.

Although Chinese rock is a special genre, other singers who want to try it can basically not cross the mountain of "Golden Armor".

However, there is still a lot of room for exploration in the broad category of Chinese style.

Major record companies immediately began to consider entering this category.

In this era, if you move slowly, you will be eliminated.

Therefore, while "Singing Loudly" was still being recorded, major record companies had already begun to try to arrange Chinese-style songs.

After the second phase of the cooperative competition ends, the third phase of the matching session will be held the next day.

This time, the program team did not cause trouble again.

Mainly because the cards used by Wu Junchen and Guo Keda to stir up troubles have all been played, and Tong Fei has not found any more topics to stir up the conversation.

Therefore, the matching session in the third phase is much more normal.

Four model singers were chosen, each of which was a new singer with good singing skills.

At the end of the matching session, as usual, the theme of the third phase of cooperation will be released.

The theme of the third issue is "Folk Ballads".

The goal from the beginning of "Singing Loudly" was to show as much song culture as possible.

After all, it is a program that aims to become a star, and its concept is higher than that of online TV series.

Promoting national culture is one of them.

In fact, when a program tries to elevate its purpose, it often loses a lot of entertainment, ultimately making the program less enjoyable to watch.

Tong Fei is also worried about this problem, so she works hard to find a balance between intention and entertainment.

Judging from the two programs recorded so far, Tong Fei is quite satisfied.

As expected, as long as Fang Xing is present in the program, there will never be a shortage of topics, and the songs are exciting enough.

The longer the cooperation lasted, the more Tong Fei felt that it was right for Fang Xing to invest in this show, and she also strengthened her determination to continue to be deeply tied to Fang Xing.

…

During the recording of "Sing Out Loud".

A lot of news broke out in the entertainment industry.

There is one piece of news that has aroused heated discussion across the Internet.

That was the contract dispute between the former Sky Girls members and their agency.

Moreover, Xu Menghan is not the only one, just one of them.

After Sky Girls' limited group ended, the group disbanded and the members returned to their respective agencies.

There are also some members whose contracts have expired and signed with other agencies, such as Shen Xiyin.

There are also some members whose original brokerage companies are large companies. After the limited group is disbanded, they can still get good operations by returning to the original company.

A few members, whose original brokerage company was relatively small, were poached by large companies.

The remaining members are in a similar situation to Xu Menghan. Their contracts have not expired, but the original agency is just a small company. Without the resources of Penguin Video, Feifan Entertainment and Chaoyin Culture, the jobs they receive are getting worse and worse.

At the time point of three months after the limited group was disbanded, these problems gradually emerged.

Xu Menghan is just a trigger.

The first thing that broke out was the quarrel between Xu Menghan and her original management company. After the news broke that the management company asked artists to accompany them for drinks, it quickly aroused public opinion.

After seeing Xu Menghan's quarrel with the agency, several other members who had been exploited by the agency also began to quarrel with the company.

Naturally, these entertainment companies will not sit still and wait for death, and have begun to fight back.

Some agency bosses began to belittle artists and ridiculed them for being ugly, which is why they couldn't get jobs. Drinking with them was just a normal social interaction.

Related topics are getting more and more heated.

For a time, related topics dominated the headlines on all major online platforms.

Xu Menghan found a lawyer and negotiated with the agency to terminate the contract.

The two parties are fighting over compensation for breach of contract.

Xu Menghan made some money during the limited tour, but it was still not enough to pay the liquidated damages.

Although the fixed assets of Xu Menghan's family are quite rich, they are not enough to squander them at will.

Therefore, a liquidated damages of more than 10 million is still a huge amount of money.

Although Xu's father and Xu's mother said they would pay compensation to terminate the contract, they couldn't pay the money so readily, so it would take some time.

Besides, selling a property also takes time.

In the end, Xu Menghan's family mortgaged three properties and took out a loan. Together with her own savings, she scraped together 10 million to pay the liquidated damages and terminate the contract with the brokerage company.

After the contract was terminated, Xu Menghan was finally relieved.

Former teammates of other limited groups are not so lucky, and do not have such a strong family background, so they can only continue to endure the work arranged by the agency.

After Xu Menghan successfully terminated the contract, she moved back to Donghai without stopping and returned to the house she shared with Shen Xiyin.

"I'm back!"

"Has the contract really been terminated successfully?" Shen Xiyin was still not sure.

"Of course! But I can't be so salty in the future." Xu Menghan sighed.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xiyin rarely saw Xu Menghan show such an expression before.

"My family has mortgaged three properties, and the monthly interest rates are horribly high. I can't let my parents pay them all back, I have to pay them back myself. Xiyin, do you think I can really sign the contract with you?"

Xu Menghan held Shen Xiyin's hand, her face full of hope.

"Let's go! Let's go find Mr. Tong now and ask her to sign you."

In fact, Shen Xiyin doesn't know if Tong Fei is willing to sign her, but she has to try to find out.

Moreover, now that Xu Menghan has terminated the contract, there are no contract issues, and things will be much simpler.

So the two came to the agency, but Tong Fei was not in the company, but was preparing for the recording of "Singing Out Loud".

The two of them found out about the recording location of "Singing Out Loud" and finally met Tong Fei.

Due to conflicts between many Sky Girls members and their agency, there was a heated commotion some time ago.

Sky Girls originally made their debut in "Tomorrow's Star", and as the chief director, Tong Fei also knows something about these things.

However, after Sky Girls formed a group, it was actually not Tong Fei's job to run it. Moreover, the limited group had expired and was disbanded, so Tong Fei did not interfere too much in this matter.

"Mr. Tong, I have terminated the contract and paid the liquidated damages." Xu Menghan looked at Tong Fei expectantly, hoping to hear a sign of the contract.

There was no obvious change in the expression on Tong Fei's face, and she asked: "Have the disputes with the brokerage company been resolved?"

"We have already paid liquidated damages. We have lawyers present to go through the formalities and the contract has been terminated." Xu Menghan nodded vigorously.

Tong Fei thought about it and said, "I suggest you reconcile with your original agency, so that the public opinion storm about you can stop."

Xu Menghan frowned and said, "I already paid the liquidated damages."

Tong Fei smiled and said: "Terminating the contract is one thing. The brokerage company may have dirty information about you. If it is exposed in the future, you may not be able to bear it."

Xu Menghan was stunned and said, "I don't have any dirty information."

"Are you sure? Including romantic relationships, private photos, chat records that disparage other celebrities, etc., are there none of them?" Tong Fei asked.

"Perhaps when I usually joke, I complain about other celebrities, but there are definitely not others. If they had, they would have threatened me long ago." Xu Menghan was very sure.

Tong Fei nodded and said, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

Xu Menghan leaned forward and asked, "I want to sign for the light like Xiyin."

Tong Fei said calmly: "Guangguang has only been established not long ago, the company is not large, and the manpower is just enough to take care of Xiyin. Even if you sign in, you will not have any good resources in the early stage.

“Also, although the share ratio won’t be as low as your original brokerage company, it won’t be very high either.

"Also, when a song is released, there is a high probability that the singer will not get a share of it."

Xu Menghan nodded vigorously: "I know that even the queens can't get the singer's share, how can I get it?"

Tong Fei smiled and said, "You also woke up towards Fang, right?"

Xu Menghan did not shy away and nodded directly to admit: "Yes. As long as I can wait for one of Instructor Fang's songs, I will be satisfied."

Tong Fei sighed: "It's directed at Fang Xingxing again, making the entire music world seem like Fang Xing can sign whoever he wants."

Xu Menghan gave a thumbs up and said: "He is so awesome. When I chatted with other members, everyone had the same idea.

"We are all very sorry. If we had debuted two years later, it would have been better if we had joined Fluorescent Girls. We started with "Chinese", which was much more popular than our group song."
