Director Zhang hung up the phone with Huang Yin and immediately had someone check the contract he had signed with Huang Yin.
"Director Zhang, here is the contract you requested!" The staff member immediately retrieved the contract.
"Go and find Attorney Liu for me!" Director Zhang wasn't too familiar with these terms, so he called over Attorney Liu from the production team.
Soon, Lawyer Liu from the production team walked in and said, "Director Zhang, you wanted to see me!"
"Hello, Attorney Liu, I have a copy of the contract between the program team and Huang Yin here. Could you please take a look at it?"
Director Zhang also showed great respect to Attorney Liu, handing him the contract on the table.
Before taking the contract signed between the program team and Huang Yin into his hands, Attorney Liu was speechless after carefully reading it through.
"Director Zhang, who signed this contract with Huang Yin? This is so ignorant! This isn't a contract! This is clearly an unequal treaty! I've never seen a contract like this before!"
After reading it once, Attorney Liu was completely speechless and didn't know what to say.
“Attorney Liu, the problem is very serious now. As you know, our program relies on sponsors. Now the sponsors are asking to terminate Huang Yin's contract. Do you think we can terminate the contract with Huang Yin through legal means?”
This contract was signed by my ex, and the official seal is from the "I Am a Good Singer" program.
He hadn't paid attention to these contracts after taking over, and only remembered them now because Huang Yin mentioned them.
Judging from Attorney Liu's expression just now, the problem seems quite serious!
"Director Zhang, I'm sorry, but I'm powerless to help! There's simply no way to resolve this through legal means!"
Faced with such a contract, Attorney Liu has completely given up.
"Alright then! That's the only way. At worst, we won't renew Huang Yin's contract next season!"
Director Zhang could only try his best to persuade the investor, since the investor could understand the 300 million yuan penalty for breach of contract.
"Um, Director Zhang, Huang Yin has the priority right to renew his contract for next season. That means Huang Yin can voluntarily terminate his contract with the production team, but the production team cannot unilaterally terminate his contract. Otherwise, they will still have to pay ten times the compensation!"
"Holy shit! Which bastard signed this contract? This is a fucking unequal treaty!"
Director Zhang was completely devastated at this point. No wonder Huang Yin was so confident before; this woman must have known about the contract all along.
At the same time, he also realized that he had underestimated Huang Yin's cunning and that he had such a backup plan.
"Doesn't Attorney Liu have any way to solve this?" Director Zhang asked, unwilling to give up.
"Yes, unless the production team changes the name, this contract will be useless. After all, the contract signed with Huang Yin is for 'I Am a Good Singer,' not our new program!"
Hearing what Attorney Liu said, Director Zhang felt helpless once again.
Now that "I Am a Good Singer" has gained fame, it would be unwise to abandon the brand at this point.
Moreover, if I were to produce a similar program, I would need both the approval of the audience and the approval of the sponsors.
"At the same time, the production team is not allowed to create new programs with 70% of the original cast and crew; otherwise, Huang Yin will still have priority in signing contracts and his treatment will remain unchanged."
"Holy crap! Which idiot signed this unequal treaty?"
Director Zhang was speechless; now he couldn't even change his name.
How could Huang Yin be so insidious? Isn't he obviously playing a trick on himself?
"Attorney Liu, thank you for your help!" After venting his frustrations, Director Zhang still showed great respect for Attorney Liu.
"It's nothing, it's what I should do. Director Zhang, I think it's impossible to terminate Huang Yin's contract unless you can persuade Huang Yin to withdraw on his own."
Director Zhang felt helpless. If he could get Huang Yin to take the initiative to terminate the contract, he wouldn't have had to waste so much time talking to him.
"Alright, thank you again, Attorney Liu!"
After Director Zhang saw Lawyer Liu out of the room, he heard the sound of things being smashed and Director Zhang cursing inside!
But no matter how much they criticize him, they can't terminate his contract with Huang Yin now.
Unless he is willing to pay Huang Yin a hefty compensation of 300 million yuan.
Li Tian was unaware of what had happened between the production team and Huang Yin.
With two weeks to go before the next episode, Li Tian wasn't in a hurry at all.
Furthermore, he won't need to be a guest performer in the final of "I Am a Good Singer".
We'll just give the song to Gao Yang and let her participate herself.
Just when Huang Yin was being heavily criticized, an unexpected event saved her.
The foreign brand Dior has actually defamed the Canglan Kingdom in its latest advertisement, which has dominated the headlines of major social media platforms in China as soon as it was released.
#Taking money from fellow Chinese people to openly slander Canglan is an unforgivable crime#
#Resolutely Boycott Dior Brand, Starting with Me#
In an instant, the focus of all social media was shifted away from the 800 million farmers and turned to attacking Dia.
This relieved Huang Yin, who was currently exhausted from explaining, as she hadn't expected that her momentary oversight would almost lead to her leaving the entertainment industry.
This was something neither he nor Meng Wei had expected, let alone him.
At first, Meng Wei tried his best to help Huang Yin with various explanations.
However, Meng Wei soon realized just how powerful the 800 million farmers were.
Originally, he wanted to protect Huang Yin, but he almost dragged the entire Southern School down with him.
In the end, Meng Wei had no choice but to cut his losses and leave Huang Yin to fend for himself.
Just as this matter was escalating, the Di'a Ru Lan incident broke out, which finally shifted people's focus away from Huang Yin.
Huang Yin is very fortunate that Di'a stepped up at this time, otherwise he might have been forced to leave the industry by the 800 million farmers!
