Chapter 589 If you dare to jump, you dare to deal with it (I wish all book friends a Happy New Year)

As the entertainment industry under Shanshen Group continues to grow in influence and scale. Many film production companies, in order to ensure that their artists are not pried away, often increase the default amount when signing contracts.

In this way, even if the artists they worked so hard to cultivate are poached, they can still save some income for the agency. But this kind of liquidated damages chaos also makes many newcomers who want to enter the entertainment industry dare not sign contracts easily.

Because once they sign a contract, regardless of the year of signing, the liquidated damages above alone will cause them to completely lose the initiative. Although it is difficult to sign a contract with the Shanshen Group, the contract terms are very generous.

Even in terms of liquidated damages, including ATV, they are very loose. In Mu Shanhe's words, if high liquidated damages are used to forcibly retain artists, then this company or TV station may not be able to go very far in the future.

If an artist is not comfortable staying in the company, how can he work hard on filming?

But the more Shanshen Group is like this, the more other TV stations and brokerage companies feel more and more wary. I am afraid that the young artists recruited will take the initiative to join the Shanshen Group, which will only increase the relative liquidated damages.

This banquet held by Shanshen Group naturally attracted the attention of many companies, fearing that their artists would be invited. In their view, Shanshen Group is not short of money and projects, and its artists are really hard to resist the temptation.

Fortunately, in recent years, artists under the Shanshen Group have criticized the so-called 'overlord contract'. But there are still many young people who, in order to pursue their so-called acting dreams, end up signing such overbearing contracts.

But what everyone didn't expect was that Yuanlong, the pillar of Jiahe, would directly apply to the company to terminate the contract after the reception. Naturally, his film company would not agree to his termination.

"Okay, Master Mu!"

Even when talking about these things, Yuan Long did not shy away from it. He can have the honor and fame he has today thanks to the cultivation of his agency. But in the past two years, when the company's performance has been declining, it actually did such a thing.

Yuan Long seemed not to be deterred and directly handed over the matter to the attorney. Faced with the attorney sent by the Shanshen Group, Jiahe was naturally very angry and directly criticized the Shanshen Group through the media for being unruly.

Seeing these reports, Mu Shanhe also said calmly: "Let ATV arrange an exclusive interview with Yuan Long and explain directly to the media and the public the reasons why he terminated the contract at the cost of paying liquidated damages.

In addition, inform the media under the group to expose all the bad things Jiahe has done over the years. Since he doesn't want face, let him taste the feeling of being pushed down by others. In addition, strengthen Yuanlong’s security vigilance! "

As the personal bodyguard conveys Mu Shanhe's instructions, the managers below will naturally implement them resolutely. The result is obvious. The exclusive interview that ATV invited Yuan Long to conduct this time attracted not only the local citizens of Xiangcheng, but also the movie fans outside Xiangcheng.

He doesn't want movie fans to waste money to support him, or even continue to consume the popularity he has finally accumulated. Moreover, he was willing to pay a high liquidated damages in the hope of thanking the company for its cultivation.

When Yuen Long bluntly told him on TV that the company had collected deposits from out-of-town film producers to buy so-called trailers without notifying him, many viewers and movie fans were extremely shocked.

Through an exclusive interview, the media that originally criticized Yuan Long suddenly changed their direction and directly targeted Jiahe. For these media outlets that say, "Money is everything", they naturally have no so-called professional ethics.

Faced with the overwhelming public opinion atmosphere as soon as the Shanshen Group took action, Jiahe was naturally extremely troubled and angry. What worries Jiahe the most is that the flowers they sold were paid by someone else's deposit.

If there is a breach of contract, Jiahe will most likely go bankrupt in the face of claims from those film producers. But isn't this kind of consequence also caused by the greed of their boss? What even surprised many people was that before the lawsuit went to trial, several senior executives of Jiahe were taken over by the Xiangcheng Commercial Investigation Bureau with a search warrant and took over the company's financial department, and a large amount of financial information was seized.

Everyone knows that once the Business Department intervenes, waiting for Jiahe's fate may not even have a chance to sue for peace!

The many forces watching the show also said speechlessly: "Old Zou, he has suffered such a big fall in his old age, alas!"

"There's no way! It's due to greed, no one else is to blame. However, that young man's methods are as straightforward as ever!"

"Yes! Even if he rarely stays in Xiangcheng, with his current influence, how many people in Xiangcheng dare to really provoke him? People are not even afraid of those forces outside the country, how can they be afraid of the local ones? Where’s the power?”

For Jiahe's other shareholders, after feeling the Shanshen Group's merciless dominance, they naturally gave in. The actions of Shanshen Group still amazed many citizens.

That is, even if Jiahe's boss has been arrested, he will still pay Jiahe 100 million in liquidated damages. From Mu Shanhe's point of view, he didn't lack the money, so he naturally didn't want to leave anything behind.

But after this incident, the relevant departments in charge of culture and entertainment in Xiangcheng also began to discuss the so-called 'overlord clause'. Some companies force artists to sign unfair contracts and intervene accordingly.

Under this kind of interference, many signed contracts may be considered illegal. After learning about this situation, the entertainment circle in Xiangcheng was naturally upset. But for many practitioners, they are very supportive and looking forward to it.

If you don't move, you will be fine, if you move, you will be a blockbuster. This is the style of Shanshen Group!

If Jiahe had chosen to understand the situation and even find someone to make peace with, things might not have become so tense. But no one expected that Jiahe, who was carried away by anger and desire, would directly target the Shanshen Group.

For Shanshen Group, which has always attached great importance to its reputation, it is natural that it will not let others throw dirty water. In fact, not only was Jiahe punished this time, but he was only one step away from bankruptcy and liquidation. Many participating gossip newspapers were also shut down.

In Mu Shanhe's view, problems that can be solved with money are really not a problem. Nowadays, the Shanshen Group has formed a certain monopoly in the entertainment industry. How can it be impunity if it dares to get into trouble?

The result is obvious, as Yuan Long successfully terminated the contract and smoothly transferred to Xiangbao Pictures. The interview he accepted on ATV was also reprinted and reported by many media in Asia, letting movie fans know his difficulties.

Even some bad movies shot before have caused movie fans to directly place the blame on Jiahe, who is about to go bankrupt. As long as he can make a movie that fans will love, the lost popularity will quickly return.

But for Xiangbao Pictures, having one more influential superstar is undoubtedly a good thing for the company's revenue. Although other big-name artists were a little worried about his arrival, they still welcomed him.

In any case, from now on, they were in the same circle and were signed artists by the same production company. It is better to maintain a friendly attitude than to make enemies. What's more, the person in charge of the company is still his senior brother.

It’s just through this incident that many practitioners understand that even Jiahe is not a rival of the Shanshen Group. If other film and television companies want to get involved in the industry in the future, they will probably have to follow the orders of the Shanshen!
