Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Mu Han lowered her head, not daring to look at Nie Wei again, feeling that her infatuation was embarrassing.

Nie Wei didn't care, and when he saw the girl come back to her senses, he said, "You should have guessed why I looked for you, right?"

Mu Han nodded, it wasn't hard to guess.

Mu Han could easily associate Zhou Duoduo with Nie Wei's initiative to find her at this time, and even thought about what Nie Wei wanted to say to her.

But the clearer it was, the more nervous and scared Mu Han became.

Although Mu Han always mentioned 'Brother Nie Wei' in private, there was actually no intersection between the two. When the idol really appeared in front of her, especially when she had a new idea, she didn't feel excited or excited.

After all, her choice was equivalent to betraying the company, and one of the big bosses of this company was Nie Wei.

Mu Han huddled on the sofa like a little quail, sitting as far away from Nie Wei as possible, burying her head and waiting for Nie Wei's 'judgment' of herself.

Nie Wei looked at Mu Han, who was huddled there and trembling, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. Today we will talk about our private identities. You are Duoduo's friend, so just call me brother."

Mu Han raised his head and mustered up the courage to look at Nie Wei. Under the latter's encouraging gaze, he hesitated for a moment and gently called out "Brother Nie Wei."

After being polite, Nie Wei did not beat around the bush and asked Mu Han directly.

"Tell me why you suddenly want to do a live broadcast? There must be a reason. After all, your grades in the practice room are not bad. I asked the teacher and you are also an excellent student in Class B. You are very likely to be promoted to Class A, so I want to hear the reason."

"Your own ideas, don't try to convince me, just talk about your own ideas." Nie Wei added another sentence, then stopped talking, looked at Mu Han, and waited for her answer.

Mu Han nervously sipped the orange juice, organized his words, and then told Nie Wei what he was thinking.

At first, she was only going to say a little bit, and it would be fine as long as the general idea was conveyed. However, when chatting with Nie Wei, she gradually let down her guard from the initial nervousness, and she talked more and more, even telling Nie Wei about some of the bad things at home.

She hadn't even said these words to Zhou Duoduo and Huang Ting.

"That's it. I think the future development prospects of the anchor industry are also quite good, and I can make money now. I want to be independent as soon as possible and live the life I want." Mu Han made a simple summary of her speech with red eyes.

After she finished speaking, she also secretly glanced at Nie Wei, and was quite curious about how Nie Wei would persuade her, although Mu Han felt that no matter what Nie Wei said, her heart would not be shaken.

"It's a very realistic idea, and it fits your current situation." What Mu Han didn't expect was that Nie Wei actually agreed and understood what she meant. Just when she was still wondering if Nie Wei had something to say, Nie Wei actually stopped talking.

It was just the literal kind, no more!

Mu Han was even confused at this moment. She had done countless psychological preparations for herself, telling herself not to waver under Nie Wei's persuasion, but now all of this was in vain. Nie Wei didn't persuade her at all, but said that he understood her, which made Mu Han even feel incredible for a while.

Nie Wei looked at the girl's confused expression and knew what she was thinking, and he couldn't help but laugh.

However, Nie Wei felt that he still had to make things clear with Mu Han.

"Whether it's debut or popularity, the company can't give you any guarantees. Since you think you can make a name for yourself by choosing the anchor path, then I have no reason to stop you, but..."

Hearing the word "but", Mu Han's heart skipped a beat, and she always felt that something bad would happen.

"Have you considered the penalty for breach of contract in the trainee contract?" Nie Wei asked.

"What penalty for breach of contract?" Mu Han was a little panicked and asked subconsciously. Nie Wei immediately understood that the girl obviously thought that trainees were going to school, and she didn't go if she couldn't.

All trainees under Huayi will have a penalty for breach of contract specified in their contracts when signing. Whether it is the lowest-level F-level trainees or the top-level A-level trainees, all contracts have penalty for breach of contract, the only difference is the amount of penalty for breach of contract.

Huayi does this not because it wants to make money from penalty for breach of contract, nor is it an entertainment company that makes profits by suing artists.

Huayi did this mainly because when the trainee department was just established, many entertainment companies would keep an eye on Huayi and poach Huayi's trainees. Class A had the hope of debuting, so these entertainment companies could not poach them, but those trainees in Class B and below were really shaken when these entertainment companies promised to debut.

In order to prevent such a situation from happening and to protect the interests of the company, the penalty for breach of contract was added to the subsequent trainee contracts.

After all, Huayi invests a lot in these trainees, including monthly mobile phone communication subsidies, food subsidies, clothing subsidies, transportation subsidies, and all kinds of other things. Even the members of the lowest-level F class can get at least 1,500 yuan a month, and when they are promoted to a higher class, they can also receive progress awards, ranging from a few hundred to thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan.

In addition, including accommodation, school, etc., these trainees do not need to spend a penny. This is just the actual benefit that the trainees get. There are also professional teachers who come to teach. If you hire them from outside, it will cost at least a thousand yuan to teach a class at the level of Huayi teachers. For trainees, it is also free. Huayi has never transferred this expense to trainees.

There are also some miscellaneous things, including some company activities and year-end draws, which these trainees will also participate in.

After all, trainees are also considered "high-risk" professions. They need to go through cruel elimination. In the end, only trainees with both strength and luck can debut.

And these children are all between the ages of fifteen and twenty. This is the age when they should go to school. They came to Huayi to pursue their dreams. Huayi naturally cannot let them gain nothing in the three or four years of training and pay a large sum of money.

As for Huayi's efforts, they are naturally transferred to the trainees who debuted. They signed a ladder contract, and basically they can only get 10% and 20% of the share in the first two years, and then it will gradually increase in the later years. Only in the last year of the five-year contract can they share it with the company in half.

The seemingly harsh contract is actually the best treatment in the circle, especially for those Korean trainees, who may be moved to tears when they see this contract.

"How much is the liquidated damages?" Mu Han asked in a trembling voice. She really didn't pay attention to the liquidated damages.

"One hundred thousand." Nie Wei replied. Mu Han heard this number and breathed a sigh of relief. Who would have thought that Nie Wei would say: "This is only the liquidated damages for F-level trainees. I remember that you have signed a contract for B-level trainees. The liquidated damages should be one million."

When Mu Han heard the number of one million, he was stunned instantly.

"If you don't believe it, you can go and take a look at the contract. The liquidated damages should be on the last line of the fifth page." Nie Wei added that the number he reported was not nonsense.

The liquidated damages for the contract of F-level trainees are 100,000 yuan, and for online D-level trainees, the liquidated damages are 200,000 yuan. For C-level trainees, it has risen to 500,000 yuan, and for B-level, it has directly exceeded one million yuan.

As for the contract of A-level trainees, the liquidated damages are as high as 5 million yuan, which is basically equivalent to the liquidated damages of some formally debuted artists.

Of course, the liquidated damages look large, but there are actually not many triggering conditions. However, Mu Han's situation is exactly in the category of liquidated damages triggering.

After Nie Wei told Mu Han about the liquidated damages, he waited for her quietly.

Mu Han was so panicked when she heard the number of one million. She had never seen a hundred thousand in her life, so when had she ever thought about a million?

With one million yuan, she could even choose an ordinary area in Kyoto and pay the down payment for a house with a good area.

With one million yuan, she could also buy a lot of brand-name bags, eat a lot of snacks, and own her own car...

But now she is facing a debt of one million yuan.

Mu Han glanced at Nie Wei. She knew that Nie Wei would not fool her about this matter. After all, the contract was written in black and white. Nie Wei could not lie like this. But at this moment, Mu Han really hoped that this was a lie.

Because she really couldn't afford one million, even if she sold herself.

"I... I... I can't afford this money." Mu Han lowered her head, as if she had used all her strength to say these words, and then she bit her lips desperately, trying not to cry.

Obviously, she was about to see hope, and she was about to be independent and have her own new life, but all this seemed to end at this moment.

Even if she was determined to be an anchor, what could she do if she couldn't pay the penalty?

Looking at the girl with her head down and trembling shoulders, Nie Wei sighed in his heart. This girl's heart was obviously wild. At least it was difficult for her mind to stay in the practice room, and it was impossible for her to have the energy to practice before. To use the words in martial arts novels, this girl already had a demon in her heart.

If it was just to complete the task requested by Zhou Duoduo, then even if it was done now, this girl named Mu Han, with her family, would definitely not be able to pay a penalty of one million. This alone would trap this girl for at least two or three years.

But is it necessary?

One girl who has no intention of practicing and only wants to be an anchor is trapped by the penalty, while Zhou Duoduo and the other girl are still fighting for their dreams. They are destined to have gone astray. Even if he pulls the girl back and takes the same path as Zhou Duoduo, can she still follow Zhou Duoduo's footsteps?

"Well, I'll give you two options." Nie Wei thought about it and said.

"I see that you obviously can't pay the penalty, so the first option is to continue to be your trainee, and pretend that what happened today never happened. The company will not stop you from live streaming, and of course, you can't sign any commercial contracts with the live streaming company."

"Second, you pay the penalty, but I can promise you that you don't have to pay it all at once, you can pay it in installments, and I can't charge you interest, but not a penny less than one million. After all, this is the company's rule, and everyone must abide by it, and no one will be the exception."

"So which of these two do you choose?"

"The second one!"

As soon as Nie Wei finished speaking, Mu Han made his choice without hesitation, leaving Nie Wei with no choice.

"Tell me the monthly repayment amount you can accept, and I'll ask the secretary to draw up a contract." Nie Wei ordered neatly.

"One...two thousand!" Mu Han gritted her teeth and answered.

Nie Wei's original intention to collect the penalty in installments was already taking care of her. She also knew that Nie Wei was doing this for Zhou Duoduo's sake. She didn't want to owe the money for too long. The longer she owed it, the deeper the guilt in her heart would be.

Nie Wei didn't give any suggestions on Mu Han's repayment amount. It all depended on the girl's own judgment. Whether she paid it back in advance or couldn't pay it back due to insufficient income, the company's legal department would come forward to solve it. After all, the one million was not directly put into Nie Wei's pocket.

However, after calling the secretary to instruct him about the contract, Nie Wei secretly called Fanxing Entertainment.

Soon the contract for the penalty was delivered. This time Mu Han looked at it very seriously, and Nie Wei was also very patient. After about twenty minutes, Mu Han signed his name on the contract seriously.

"In duplicate, keep this copy. When the time comes, just pay the money by the end of each month according to the bank card number on the contract. Now you are no longer a trainee of the company. Considering that you may not be able to find a place to live for the time being, I can ask the practice room to reserve a dormitory bed for you for another week. You can use this time to find a new place to live."

Huayi Company is not a charity. When Mu Han signed this contract, she was no longer a trainee, so the free dormitory was naturally gone.

Nie Wei also told Mu Han at the school that he could help her keep her student status, but starting from next year, she would have to pay the tuition fees for whichever school she wanted to continue to study in. Whether she would continue to study there at that time would be entirely up to Mu Han herself.

On the contrary, the winter vacation is about to start, and there are still several months before the next semester. Even if Mu Han eventually chooses to transfer or drop out of school, this period of time is more than enough for her to deal with these things.

Mu Han nodded, with a look of loss on his face, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in a layer of loneliness.

"Let's go, go down and have a good talk with Duoduo. Explain your actual situation to her. Duoduo will understand you." Nie Wei stood up, patted the girl on the head and comforted her.
