Chapter 1133: How It Was Taken, How It Will Be Returned; The Dark and Evil Exploitation of Capital!

"Directed by Zeng Guoxiang, starring Zhou Dongyu and Yi Yangqianxi, the youth, romance, and literary film *Better Days* was officially released this morning.

It is reported that the first-day screening rate of *Better Days* reached 44.3%, and because its popularity and heat have been on the list for a long time, it is very likely to become a box office dark horse in the November slot..."

"At nine o'clock this morning, Huanxi Film released a high-profile mainstream commercial blockbuster project announcement:

With Director Zhang Yimou as the general producer and Director Ning Hao as the general director, 7 people and 5 groups including Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Han Jia, Yan Fei/Peng Damo, Deng Chao/Yu Baimi jointly directed;

The mainstream commercial blockbuster *My People, My Homeland* was officially established today and entered the script preparation stage. The film plans to start casting before the Spring Festival slot at the latest, and plans to officially start filming in the first half of next year..."

"It is reported that the cast of producers for Huanxi Film's mainstream commercial blockbuster *My People, My Homeland* is luxurious, including:

Huanxi Film, Bad Monkey, Zhenledao, Happy Mahua, Orange Image, Han Jia Film Studio, Lin Nan Film, a total of 7 well-known companies and giants in the film and television industry."

"Although Huanxi Film has no special remarks, the industry generally believes that *My People, My Homeland* can already be considered a sequel to *My People, My Country*..."

In the chairman's office, La and Fu sat face to face, with different expressions. The former had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, while the latter was obviously a bit angry.

"Interesting! General Manager Fu, this film *My People, My Homeland* didn't greet you, right?"

Now that some things were already destined, Chairman La naturally no longer had the tone of slight estrangement and sharpness when facing the person in front of him.

In his eyes, the person in front of him, although still the chairman of China Film and his competitor, had more identities as his own general manager and his own person who would take over his shift.

Hearing this teasing sentence, Chairman Fu nodded directly, but his tone was not as angry as his expression just now, but instead carried a bit of surprise and eagerness to try:

"Indeed, they didn't greet me, and it can be seen that Dong Ping of Huanxi doesn't want me to get involved; he wants to eat alone. But I also have to thank him, because he gave me a reminder."

"How to say?"

"If their *My People, My Homeland* can really borrow the momentum of *My People, My Country* and achieve great success, then we can go and take the third one back!"

"We?"

"That's right, China Film and Huaying jointly control, and pull a batch of joint producers, following this model to continue making the third one. We can even give shares to other producers besides Huanxi and invite them together.

Does Chairman La think Dong Ping of Huanxi dares to say a 'no'? He is not how he took it low-key, how he will return it low-key!" Chairman Fu said quite domineeringly.

"Hmm, don't say, it's really a good idea!" Chairman La nodded instantly, with a very approving smile on his face, and then added again:

"I am quite looking forward to next year now, and even more looking forward to seeing the great success of Huanxi's *My People, My Homeland*.

In this way, China Film and Huaying will not only have the preparation of one mainstream series blockbuster *The Battle at Lake Changjin* next year, but also another third part of the mainstream series!"

"That's right, looking at the development trend of the industry, this outlet of mainstream films can be popular for at least another 5 years, or even longer.

I have to admit that Director Lin Nan really has vision, it's just a pity that he is really too lazy now, hahaha."

Chairman Fu said with great appreciation, planning to invite Lin Nan Film to join together, as the chairman of Huaying.

In the pink room, Liu Xiaoli was helping Liu Yifei braid her hair. Watching Shu Chang and Han Jia were supporting on the side, laughing and talking about gossip outside.

Something like the host of Mango TV, He Jiong, has been blacked by the whole internet these past two days, and it looks like he is being targeted by many capitals, and it is impossible to be good in a short time.

The reason is that he revealed many dark hearts of entertainment companies on the show with a big mouth, thus offending a large number of entertainment capitals.

"To be honest, I can't believe that those entertainment companies are operating like this now?

Signing dozens or hundreds of young people at once, using contracts as long as 10 years or even longer to bind these artists;

And these artists are all children around 20 years old, and a considerable number of them are even minors;

Just letting you fend for yourself without giving resources, it's best if you can be popular; if you are not popular, you will be dragged down;

Whether you are dead or alive, the company doesn't care. Even if you don't have money to eat and starve to death, that's your own business..."

"That's right, the exploitation is indeed too severe! If the artist really doesn't want to be dragged to death and wants to terminate the contract, then they have to pay high termination fees, almost all starting from millions;

Who dares to believe that the main profit method of these entertainment companies is actually this kind of business? I heard that the termination penalty for some newcomers who have made it is even as high as over 100 million..."

Han Jia and Watching Shu Chang were getting more and more indignant as they talked. Both of them belong to the top level of this industry, almost never contacting the dark side, and everyone around them is a good person;

So naturally, they would be deeply shocked by this kind of exploitation method that is almost "dark and evil forces."

"There are a large number of young people from ordinary families in this industry who long for fame, long to stand out, and long to be the center of attention.

But they are not like you who have connections and contacts, so naturally they can only sign this kind of low-level company, sign this kind of slave contract to try their luck, perhaps there is also the component of being fooled.

In addition, compared with ordinary people, they may be from well-off families, and their economic conditions are not bad; but in this industry, they are the most ordinary bottom-level newcomers, and they are 'pigs' in the eyes of many unscrupulous capitals in the industry!"

Lin Nan brought a box of cake in and took the words of Watching Shu Chang.

Liu Yifei suddenly wanted to eat cake just now, so he wore a mask and went out fully armed. After all, it was something his wife wanted to eat, and he was not at ease letting others buy it.

"In other words, wouldn't these young people around 20 years old also be treated as..." Han Jia's mouth reacted faster than her brain again, but fortunately she braked in time.

"Treated as gifts for unspoken rules! If you don't agree, you will be hidden, and then repeat the fate that He Jiong said... It's best if you have money to terminate the contract."

Lin Nan chose to supplement, this is the real fate of those artists at the bottom of the entertainment circle who have no background. And those grassroots who are lucky are really rare.

Of course, those who can sign this kind of black-hearted company and slave contract are basically not actors and artists from professional classes, and their education is not high.

Otherwise, there are quite a few ways to break the situation, such as taking the exam for compilation, taking the exam for public service, or even joining the army!

As long as you successfully land on the shore, the "black-hearted contract" of the entertainment circle you carry will automatically expire;

Even if you can't achieve zero-cost termination, the court will definitely cut the termination cost to below 500,000;

And under normal circumstances, the probability of compensation during termination is really very, very small; and it only targets those normal contracts that are fair, just, and do not exist exploitation and deliberate extortion.

As for the "dark and evil forces" type of capital that He Jiong said, they are too late to smile when facing an artist who has successfully landed on the shore. As for taking extortion-type contracts to grab people from the public? Isn't that looking for death?!

"Every industry is the same, the dark side will never be less. We can only manage ourselves well and treat the people around us well." Liu Yifei sighed and said gently.

She then looked at Lin Nan and ordered sweetly: "Trouble Director Lin to cut the cake into small portions, let's share it together."

"Fine."

"Coming to keep Yifei company, I can really mooch food and drink. Hehe, then I won't be polite." Han Jia Nu rubbed her hands with a grin and leaned in toward Lin Nan.

"It's like you've ever been polite." Watching Shu Chang rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"That's right, you've never been polite." Liu Yifei laughed until she trembled, and Liu Xiaoli couldn't help but laugh.
