Chapter 951: Reckless
I haven't been asleep all night, and when Mizushima got up the next day, my eyes were still red.
But she finally set off with her agent to return to Su Hua. After thinking for a night, Kirishima couldn't make a decision, so she decided to go back and take a look first. If she didn't like the new contract, then she wouldn't sign it anyway, it wouldn't be possible to force her to sign it anyway, right?
"And even if it's a stutter, I'm not afraid..." Kirishima thought so in the car. She had other places to go now, so she didn't need to worry about having a stutter with Phoenix Company. As long as she thought about it, she felt much more relaxed.
However, after returning to Su Hua's office, Kirishima's heart immediately rose up.
"Why, why are everyone here..." She was surprised to see many other voice actors sitting in the conference room, several of whom should be performing in other places, but they are sitting here with different expressions at this moment.
"You are back, sit down!" Seeing Kirishima and the others coming back, several female employees immediately took them down and said, "Look at the new contract first, Miss Chen Jie will come here to explain in person later."
Kirishima looked down and saw that the contract documents had been placed on the table.
"The new voice actors who stayed on Comic Island signed the sign yesterday." A female employee smiled and said, "Today is your part, and the real lady has received the notice and will come back in two days."
"..." The agent next to Kirishima was stunned: "Does everyone have to sign?"
"Although it's not necessary, the time is quite special now, so I suggest you sign it out." The employee said, Kirishima raised his head: "Why?"
"Because the company is in trouble!" replied in a clear voice, but not the voice of the employees. Kirishima turned his head and found that Chen Jie was strode into the conference room with a few older women.
Her appearance in the voice actor group caused a lot of shock.
"It's really Chen Jie!"
"She has really become a supervisor. I thought it was a joke before... she was promoted too quickly, right?"
Several voice actors whispered, and Kirishima was also shocked, but she thought that she was the monster-like Chen Jie after her debut. After her debut, she quickly surpassed Xia Chuan in popularity and could not be viewed by common sense.
"Chen Jie, what's going on with this contract?" A female voice actor asked, "Isn't this a mandatory contract?"
Chen Jie stood in front with her arms around her: "This is not a compulsory contract. But you think it's a compulsory contract... If anyone doesn't sign this contract, we will regard her as planning to resign and will not give much care in the future."
"This..." The voice actor was stunned: "Why is this happening?"
"I have said just now that the company is in trouble." Chen Jie said coldly: "We have received news that many companies are poaching you. In order to prevent large-scale jumps, we have to take measures."
After she said this, another female supervisor next to her stood up and explained: "I think someone among you has been exposed to the temptations of other companies. This time the situation is more serious than before, and we have to change the contract."
Another male voice actor asked, "But isn't the liquidated damages in our company very high? Why do we have to increase them? Add other penalties. Will it be difficult for us to leave in the future?"
"Don't worry about this." Chen Jie said lightly: "There is an explanation in the contract. If there is a legitimate reason, the company will generally not stop you from leaving after careful review. It is just that you are not allowed to engage in animation dubbing work within one year of your resignation."
I can’t engage in animation dubbing for a year, this is a contract of competition! Kirishima’s heart couldn’t help but raise it. This contract must not be signed. Once it is signed, it is almost impossible to change jobs. Voice actors cannot dubbing animations. What value is there?
"Each of you is a voice actor developed by the company and is not a dowry given to others." Chen Jie looked around the voice actor in the conference room. Many people avoided her gaze in the center. It seemed that many people had already come into contact with other people's negotiations.
If it hadn't been discovered early, the voice actor's office would have been caught in one go.
Chen Jie's face darkened: "There are many people who have not finished their contracts yet. So I will explain a few points here. I hope you will consider it carefully."
"First." She paused and increased her voice: "Any voice actor who left and joined other companies will never be hired by Phoenix again in the future, and all our animation dubbing will not be selected from these voice actors."
"Secondly, we will withdraw the song authorization, and these voice actors will be banned from singing songs owned by Phoenix on any occasion in the future. Some unique endorsement songs will be handed over to other voice actors."
Kirishima and his group immediately changed their faces. The first point Chen Jie said was not unexpected. In fact, when the male voice actors changed jobs last time, Phoenix Company said that they would not hire traitors again. But the second point had a great impact.
Although the most well-known songs of Phoenix Company are led by several top ding voice actors, because of the large number of animations, each animation has dozens to hundreds of songs, and most official voice actors will have several songs that are unique to them.
On the stage, they mainly rely on various anime songs and unique songs to express their charm. If they can no longer sing these songs and ban animation dubbing, then their job-changing will be like committing suicide. Their respective popularity will be severely damaged.
"What should I do now..." Kirishima was shaken. Is she still leaving now? Although she has not signed a new contract, she believes that if she chooses to leave under such circumstances, Phoenix will definitely not be polite to herself in the future.
And after listening to Chen Jie's words, Kirishima began to suspect Li Sheng's words. If many companions were poached, their invitation might not be because they valued her, but because they wanted to deal with Phoenix Company.
This means that if you change jobs this time, you will help others deal with Phoenix Company.
"Is this really the case?" Kirishima looked around hesitantly, and other voice actors seemed to be considering it. Many people were hesitating whether to start writing. This situation made Kirishima feel a sudden heart. She felt that what Chen Jie said was not something out of nothing.
If there is no influence from outsiders, everyone here will definitely be happy to accept the new contract. After all, it is a good thing to increase the reward, and there is no voice actor firm with more development potential than Phoenix.
So many people hesitate at this moment means that they must have a better choice, that is, someone has already sent an invitation to them.
"Kijima..." Just as Kirijima was thinking this way, the agent beside her patted her hands: "What are you thinking? Sign it up quickly!"
The agent had signed the contract. Kirishima looked at her and asked hesitantly: "Would you just sign it like this? If you leave in the future..."
"I believe in the company." The agent smiled and said, "Actually, our company's contract is already very good, and... I told you. I used to be the agent of other celebrity companies."
"Yes." Kirishima nodded. She knew that many of Phoenix's agents came from other celebrity companies.
"You may not know that this new contract is actually the loosest in the entertainment industry." The agent said: "Your remuneration and share will not be lower than other celebrity companies, and the various treatments are also good. As for the punishment for resignation, those celebrity companies are even more serious, you see..."
She pointed to the front, Kirishima looked up and saw that several female voice actors had signed new contracts and were confirming with Chen Jie in front.
"You seniors are people who know a little about the entertainment industry. They sign a contract very simply. Although this new contract is a little harsh, it can be considered loose in the industry..." said the agent.
Kirishima hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and turned on the new contract.
"I won't sign it." Just as she looked at the contract carefully, a male voice actor stood up and said, "The conditions are too harsh, I want to keep the old contract."
The whole conference room calmed down, Kirishima looked at Chen Jie a little nervously. She thought Chen Jie would be angry, but she didn't expect that Chen Jie would just raise the corners of her mouth lightly and said, "Whatever you want, go back to the dormitory to rest if you don't want to sign."
The male voice actor was stunned, as if he didn't expect Chen Jie to give up so simply, but he still gritted his teeth and turned away. Chen Jie didn't look at him, and continued to look around the others: "Does there anyone else who doesn't want to sign? If you don't want to sign, leave together, I won't force you."
Kirishima looked back and sure enough, five or six more people stood up and walked out.
"...Follower." Kirishima heard the agent's sigh and looked back. The agent urged: "Sign up quickly. Now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if the people who left just now don't leave Phoenix Company, they will not be reused in the future."
Although Chen Jie did not prevent the voice actor from leaving the stage, she had already made it clear at the beginning that she would regard those who did not sign the contract as resigning and would definitely not reuse it in the future.
"..." Kirishima sighed in his heart, gritted his teeth and wrote his name on the contract.
After writing, she suddenly felt that she had figured it out. In fact, yesterday's invitation was a trap. Even with Shen Jie's harsh words, so many people left. It is conceivable that the invitation conditions these people received would never be lost to her.
No one is a fool. After Chen Jie put it bluntly, many voice actors knew in their hearts that they had become someone else's pawn. But others' temptations are real, and being a pawn is also valuable, but Kirishima thinks it is too risky to change jobs.
Even if the other party will provide you with a better environment and conditions, can you really succeed? Kirishima finally chose Phoenix, but this is related to her personality. Other more ambitious voice actors may not choose her path.
Chen Jie watched the voice actors change their contracts coldly. Although some people left, the number of people was still under her control.
The new contract still successfully shook many people's ideas. As long as the number of people who left the job did not exceed the standard, Chen Jie did not have the idea of stopping others from leaving. Although Alice may want to keep everyone, Chen Jie would rather get rid of the disobedient first.
She has a way to keep more people, but it doesn't make sense. Those who barely stay may have problems in the future, so it's better to cut it off with just one knife.
Although the new contract is considered a domineering treaty, Chen Jie's best way is this. Taking it out so early may make some voice actors angry, but it is better than taking it later. If the situation develops further and the enlistment of celebrity companies will have greater results, there will be no so many people who will sign the same contract if it is taken out.
Now that the voice actors have not been shaken, they can minimize the storm. Of course... this is just the beginning. What Chen Jie wants to do next is to show the outside world that the voice actors of Phoenix Company will not be poached again and again.
She believes that only a clear rebound will make others stop.
Therefore, Chen Jie quickly started the next step of work. She asked someone to announce this incident on the Phoenix Company official website, voice actor firm official website, and He Xizhi Home Forum, and warned some companies not to get worse.
When Alice heard the news, she was stunned.
"What are you doing?" She quickly called Chen Jie: "Why did you tell me the matter?"
"Isn't this better?" Chen Jie asked back. She exposed the matter and it was much easier to deal with. When fans noticed this, who would dare to blatantly poach Phoenix's voice actors? And who would dare to leave?
Before the matter fermented, Chen Jie found the initiative. In this way, if there is still a company that dares to continue poaching people in full view, it would be like seeking death. Angry public opinion is enough to suppress them. After all, Phoenix Company had an experience of a victim before, and many fans were still impressed by the male voice actor's job change. If something similar happened this time, public opinion would definitely stand on the side of Phoenix Company, which revealed the truth in advance.
Voice actors will make more careful choices at this time. Chen Jie has already told the matter up. Who changes jobs at this time is tantamount to publicly swearing to betrayal? Do they have the courage to do this in front of their past fans?
From these two aspects, Chen Jie's approach is indeed correct, but...
"Don't you think you are provoking the other party?" Alice had a headache. Although she made Chen Jie tougher, this method was too reckless. Although it can indeed produce good results, the negative effects are also serious.
Originally, although the other party's actions were excessive in business competition, there was no need to publish them. It was taboo to publish these news online. While taking the initiative, it was undoubtedly a blatant provocation.
The other party is not a company. Once such a large-scale action breaks apart, the possibility of giving in is even smaller. Phoenix Company announces the news in this way, which is equivalent to threatening them to give up the action of poaching people, but how can the other party compromise?
"You are too reckless." Alice rubbed her eyebrows in distress: "The situation must be expanded now, and the net will be broken!"
