  Chapter 4 3. The entertainment industry must also abide by labor laws, right?

  Zhang Hanwen quickly came back to his senses, stared at Wang Cheng, suppressed the anger in his heart forcibly, and persuaded: "Wang Cheng, don't play with your temper. There will be a performance tomorrow, we must hurry up and practice more..."

Wang Cheng rubbed his eyes, shook his head and refused, and said seriously: "Captain Zhang, I didn't play with you. I need to sleep for a while, and I haven't slept well for less than five hours. Besides, I I don’t think I need to practice more.”

  Zhang Hanwen raised his voice: "Wang Cheng, you kept making mistakes in practice yesterday, and you are the one who needs to practice more."

  Wang Cheng still shook his head: "That was yesterday. Besides, I haven't slept well now, and I will make mistakes if I go to extra training. What's the point of such extra training?"

  Zhang Hanwen was taken aback for a moment, and then he was right after thinking about it!

  Wang Cheng looks like this, and he is completely out of shape at first glance. He will definitely make various mistakes during practice, and it will also affect himself and others. There is really no point in practicing.

  Zhang Hanwen frowned.

  However, without additional practice, he has little confidence in tomorrow's performance.

  The other groups of opponents are all excellent trainees launched by several other big companies. They are all very strong, and they have been training more every day recently.

  If they don't practice more, how can they beat their opponents?

  Wang Cheng looked at Zhang Hanwen's appearance, then looked at the other five team members, and said, "I see that everyone is in a bad state. They haven't had a good rest. They are tired and lack of concentration. What effect does this kind of practice have?"

  Zhang Hanwen looked at the other five team members, and saw that everyone was indeed sleepy and their bodies were loose, and his heart was shaken.

  Another young team member immediately said: "Yes, captain, let's sleep for a while, the practice effect will be better."

  Seeing that everyone thinks this way, Zhang Hanwen can't force it anymore, so he can only say helplessly: "Okay, then everyone sleeps for another hour..."

   "Long live the captain!"

   "Okay, I'm still under the bed, I'll go back right away..."

   "Thank you Captain..."

   Fearing that Zhang Hanwen would repent, they cheered and hurriedly turned around and ran back to their room to continue sleeping.

boom…

   Click!

  Wang Cheng also directly closed the door, locked it, and went to bed quickly.

  The dream of living to one hundred and twenty years old is not over yet, I hope it can continue...

  Zhang Hanwen stood alone in the corridor, looked at the door of Wang Cheng's room, recalled the scene just now, and felt that Wang Cheng had changed, without the care and hard work he had before.

  If it was yesterday, he would be the first to knock on the door and call Wang Cheng, because he knows that Wang Cheng works as hard as he does.

  But now Wang Cheng is thinking about the law and sleeping late, not wanting to practice...

   "Could it be that I spoke too hard last night, which made him discouraged and gave up his debut?"

  Zhang Hanwen began to reflect on himself.

  Wang Cheng made several mistakes yesterday, and Wang Cheng contradicted him, making him get angry and say that Wang Cheng has no talent and is not suitable for debut, and then Wang Cheng ran away in anger.

   Now seeing Wang Cheng again, Zhang Hanwen found that Wang Cheng seemed to have changed. Overnight, he lost the previous drive to prove himself.

  Zhang Hanwen let go of his thoughts, decided to pay attention to his attitude towards Wang Cheng in the future, and stop hitting Wang Cheng, and then turned around and went back to his room to sleep for a while.

   "Captain Zhang, call me after I sleep for seven hours!"

  Wang Cheng's voice came from the room.

  Zhang Hanwen was suddenly annoyed again: "I said, I can only sleep for another hour..."

  Wang Cheng said again with certainty: "I won't get up until I have slept for seven hours. Goodbye, captain!"

  If it wasn't for the lack of time, he would ask for eight hours of sleep.

   After speaking, there was no sound.

  Zhang Hanwen raised his fist and wanted to punch Wang Cheng's door, venting the anger in his heart.

  However, he stopped when he raised his fist.

  Zhang Hanwen said loudly: "Wang Cheng, if we fail this time, it is all your responsibility! I will tell the company's president Liu everything."

  Wang Cheng didn't speak any more.

  He closed his eyes and went to sleep, not caring about Zhang Hanwen's threat at all.

fail?

   That would be the best.

  I don’t need to be on the program for a short period of time, I can go back to the training base. Although I am tired at the training base and learn a lot every day, it is not as tiring as being on the program, and I have regular rest time every day.

  There are two years left in the trainee contract.

   End the contract after two years of mixing, then retire and live in seclusion, take good care of your health, and live to be a hundred years old...

  If the boss of the company is angry and hides himself?

   That's great, you can lie down completely.

After one hour.

  Zhang Hanwen came to Wang Cheng's door first, and raised his hands several times to knock on the door, but when he thought of Wang Cheng's attitude and strength an hour ago, he flinched.

  If Wang Cheng still doesn't cooperate and quarrels with himself, what should he do? What will the other team members think if they back down again and again?

  After hesitating for a few minutes, Zhang Hanwen skipped Wang Cheng, called the other five players, and went to the practice room together.

   "Captain, where is Wang Cheng?"

  A team member asked suspiciously.

   Several other people looked at Zhang Hanwen, expecting Zhang Hanwen's answer.

  Zhang Hanwen said lightly: "Wang Cheng is not feeling well, let him rest for a while today..."

   Several people looked at each other and remained silent, no further questions.

Physical discomfort?

   Of course they knew it was an excuse.

  Wang Cheng and Zhang Hanwen argued just now, but they didn't look uncomfortable.

   Several people admired and envied Wang Cheng in their hearts. They admired Wang Cheng for daring to refuse Zhang Hanwen and training. They didn't dare. They also envied Wang Cheng for sleeping late.

   Another two hours later, eight o'clock in the morning.

  Wang Cheng was woken up by the pre-set alarm clock, stood up from the bed, stretched his waist, and felt refreshed.

  After being seriously ill, he hasn't slept so easily for a long time.

  No pain or itching, no need to take medicine, no need to hang a hanging bottle, no need to smell the smell of alcohol disinfectant in the ward...

   So comfortable.

  Wang Cheng came to the mirror, looked at his young and handsome self again, and was sure that everything that happened was true, and he was still very pleasantly surprised.

   "Starting today, health comes first."

  Wang Cheng said loudly to himself in the mirror.

Then.

  He simply washed up, put on his sportswear, and went out.

  A day's plan is in the morning.

   Proper exercise in the morning is very good for the body.

  When Wang Cheng took care of his body in the last few years of his previous life, as long as his body could still move, he would insist on going out for a run in the morning, even if it was just a few hundred meters...

   Without disturbing other people, Wang Cheng ran out of the shooting base quietly and slowly by himself, and without running far, he slowly ran in circles around the shooting base.

   After running for about half an hour, sweating a little, Wang Cheng finished his first morning run in this world, took out his phone and checked the time, it was only half past eight.

   At the same time, I also saw a dozen missed calls above.

   It shows that Zhang Hanwen and Zhang Xiuhua are calling.

Wang Cheng didn't call back right away, but found a nearby breakfast shop, and ordered a cup of millet porridge that nourished the stomach, a tea egg that supplemented nutrition, and a white flour steamed bun, but he didn't choose deep-fried dough sticks and greasy pancakes , Walked back to the shooting base while eating.

  When I walked to the entrance of the shooting base, I had just finished my breakfast, and I threw cups, bags, straws, etc. into the trash can at the entrance, smiled at the security guard who looked at me in surprise, and walked in!

  As soon as she entered the gate, Zhang Xiuhua walked out quickly, her face was full of anxiety, she came over and took Wang Cheng's hand and looked up and down: "Wang Cheng, are you okay?"

  Wang Cheng was surprised, and looked at himself up and down, he is fine, can't you see?

   "I'm fine!"

  Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now she learned that Wang Cheng didn't go to the training and was sleeping in the room. She thought Wang Cheng was still angry, so she went to talk to Wang Cheng in person, but naturally she couldn't find anyone, and asked the people around, but they didn't see him Wang Cheng!

   This terrified her.

  In the past two years, incidents of trainee suicides are not uncommon.

   There is a lot of competition pressure for trainees. There are at least dozens of people competing under the same company, and hundreds of trainees under the big companies compete, let alone tens of thousands of trainees from other companies.

   But these are a group of teenagers in their teens and twenties. Their psychological endurance is not strong, and some of them can even be said to be glass-hearted, so some trainees will not be able to bear the pressure and commit suicide.

   However, such a thing will not be known to the outside world.

   After all, a trainee is just a trainee, not a famous celebrity artist, no one pays attention.

  Dongxing Entertainment had two trainees who attempted suicide last year, and finally the company voluntarily terminated the contract and sent them home.

I couldn't find Wang Cheng just now, Zhang Xiuhua was startled, and suddenly thought of the two eighteen-year-old trainees who attempted suicide in the company last year, so he was shocked, frantically looking for Wang Cheng everywhere, and even went to the monitoring room to investigate. After checking the surveillance, it was found that Wang Cheng had left the gate around eight o'clock.

  Zhang Xiuhua just wanted to go out to find Wang Cheng, when he ran into Wang Cheng at the door.

He checked up and down, and saw that Wang Cheng didn't get hurt from a fall, nor did he appear to be wet. Zhang Xiuhua felt relieved, and then asked seriously, "Wang Cheng, where did you go just now? You went out alone. Do you know how worried we are? When I came here, did I tell each of you that you can't leave the filming base without permission, and if you want to leave for something, you must get my consent..."

Wang Cheng relaxed all over, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said lightly: "Sister Hua, I just ran at the door, relaxed, and came back after having breakfast. I am nineteen years old and three months old, and I am already an adult." ,Do not worry…"

  A trace of surprise and speechlessness appeared on Zhang Xiuhua's face again!

  Zhang Hanwen and five team members have been practicing for more than two hours. Everyone is very attentive and urgent. She just delivered breakfast.

   As a result, Wang Cheng didn't get up until eight o'clock. Instead of practicing with the team, he went out for a run alone?

  Are you giving up?

Zhang Xiuhua has complicated emotions in her heart, and there is a feeling of hating iron for being weak, but she doesn't want to reprimand Wang Cheng before the performance. She is afraid of affecting Wang Cheng's mentality and performance status, so she just said: "Then you have a good rest today? Zhang Hanwen and the others have already It’s been a while since you’ve practiced, and you’re going to practice together, so hurry up and go.”

  Wang Cheng took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it showed 8:45, then walked to his dormitory, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's only 8:45, and it's not time for work yet."

Forehead…

   Zhang Xiuhua, who was walking behind Wang Cheng, stopped again and stared at Wang Cheng with wide eyes: "Working hours? What working hours?"

  Wang Cheng walked with ease, step by step, like a grandfather walking in the park, and said softly, "Is it normal working hours? Isn't it nine o'clock?"

Zhang Xiuhua felt that Wang Cheng was deliberately finding fault with her to lose her temper, just because she didn't want to practice, so she frowned and stared at Wang Cheng, showing the momentum that her manager should have, and said seriously: "Wang Cheng, I am very serious. Let me tell you. The company spent a lot of money to get you this opportunity, if you mess up, it will be very difficult to get another opportunity like this in the future. "

   "You still have a two-year contract with the company, and you don't want to waste another two years after you fail, right? Then you will miss the time to go to school, what else can you do in society?"

   "Besides, in the contract, you are obliged to cooperate with the company's arrangements... I think you should understand what I mean. If you don't cooperate, you will be hidden by the company at least, or you will be held accountable for breach of contract."

   "The amount of compensation for breach of contract is 200 million! With your parents' income, you can't afford 200 million in ten lifetimes."

   Zhang Xiuhua emphasized the seriousness of the matter to Wang Cheng on the figure of 200 million.

Regardless of the fact that the trainees all hold child labor contracts with a 20-80% share, and they are all unknown teenagers in their teens and twenties, the amount of compensation for breach of contract is even more exaggerated than that of Chaoju in the entertainment industry. The starting point is 100 million, in order to prevent the possibility of being poached by other companies.

  Because Wang Cheng asked for a short-term contract, not only the proportion of sharing was reduced, but also the compensation for breach of contract was doubled, up to 200 million.

  Ordinary people, just seeing this number will be frightened and dizzy.

  However, Wang Cheng still looked calm, walked into the elevator step by step with his hands behind his back, and said to Zhang Xiuhua who followed behind him: "Sister Hua, why didn't I follow the company's arrangement? The show didn't go on? Or didn't I go to the training?"

   "Besides, Miss Hua, I remember that the main premise of the contract is to abide by the laws and regulations of the country, right?"

  Zhang Xiuhua froze for a moment, looking at Wang Cheng who was reasoning with him, he really felt very strange.

   And Wang Cheng is too lazy to play a submissive boy now.

  No longer installed...

   Showdown.

   I want to retire, I want to lie flat.

Wang Cheng continued: "Should the company's contract also abide by the national labor law? I follow the national working hours, nine to five, eight hours a day, what's wrong? Or is the company more powerful than the national law? You can not abide by the law. ?”

Labor Law?

  Nine to five?

  Zhang Xiuhua's head is full of question marks.

   What the hell?

  Who in the entertainment industry talks about this?

  Don't talk about the entertainment industry.

   All the capitalists in China, who cares about labor laws?

  Who is not crazy to squeeze you? Crazy overtime? You do not accept?

   Then pack up and get out!

  Do you think you are an official ape?

But…

  You don't have to care about it in your heart.

Zhang Xiuhua did not dare to publicly say that the company did not abide by the labor law, and her head stopped for a while. When the elevator arrived and opened the door, her thoughts straightened out a little, and she said, "Wang Cheng, this, labor law is one thing, you also It depends on the actual situation and needs of the company! Now, the company needs you to work overtime..."

  After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiuhua remembered the idea of ​​working overtime.

  Wang Cheng chuckled, looked back at Zhang Xiuhua, and said, "Sister Hua, then I refuse to work overtime, and I don't want overtime pay."

  Zhang Xiuhua was silent again, gritted his teeth and said: "Wang Cheng, this is the company's regulation. Everyone must work overtime. After the busy period, I can give you a vacation..."

  Wang Cheng shook his head: "Sister Hua, I'm sorry, but I still refuse to work overtime. I don't need extra vacations. I just ask for normal weekends."

  Nine to five, and weekends?

  Why don't you go to heaven?

Zhang Xiuhua's scalp was numb, and she glared at Wang Cheng, and said seriously: "Wang Cheng, if you keep messing around like this, I will let the company hide you. At the same time, I will sue you for not implementing the company's rules and regulations during the contract period, thus breaching the contract. Pursuing your breach of contract compensation..."

  Wang Cheng's eyes flashed surprise: "Okay, Sister Hua, can you tell the company to hide me now? Can I pack up my things and leave now? Does it mean that I don't need to go back to the training base after being hidden, so can I go home?"

"you…"

  Zhang Xiuhua raised her head slightly and stared into Wang Cheng's eyes, seeing that what Wang Cheng seemed to say was true, and she was not worried about being hidden by the company at all.

  Wang Cheng added: "As for the breach of contract, I very much welcome the company to sue me for breach of contract because I refused to work overtime. I think the law will give me a fair judgment."

  Hoohoo…

  Zhang Xiuhua was so angry that her breath was short of breath, her face was flushed, and her slightly fat body kept rising and falling.

  She knew in her heart that the so-called Xuezang and suing were just her words to scare Wang Cheng. It was indeed impossible for the company to sue Wang Cheng for breach of contract because he did not go to extra training.

  Unless Wang Cheng did not accept the programs and performances arranged by the company and thus caused losses, that is a true breach of contract, and the company can decide whether to sue Wang Cheng for breach of contract.

   Moreover, Wang Cheng's appearance is really good. The company has high expectations for Wang Cheng and expects Wang Cheng to make them a lot of money, so it is even more impossible to hide and sue!

  This is why Zhang Xiuhua is still persuading Wang Cheng. If other ordinary trainees dare to mess around like this, Zhang Xiuhua will take it back to the company without saying a word, and let him hide for a few years.

  Wang Cheng walked into his dormitory, ready to wash his face again.

  Zhang Xiuhua stood at the door, stared at Wang Cheng and said coldly: "Well, I hope you can arrive at the practice room on time at nine o'clock..."

  Wang Cheng turned on the phone alarm clock and showed it to Zhang Xiuhua: "Sister Hua, don't worry, I have set the alarm clock, and I will never be late!"

   There are several times on the alarm clock page.

   Six o'clock.

   Eight fifty-five.

  Twelve fifty-five.

   Fifteen fifty-five.

  Nineteen fifty-five.

   Twenty-two o'clock!

  Zhang Xiuhua frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What do these times mean?"

Wang Cheng washed his face with hot water, and replied: "The time to go to work, go to work at 9:00 in the morning, and get off work at 1:00 noon. I need to take a nap during lunch break, so I rest for three hours, go to work at 4:00 pm, and go to work at 8:00 pm Get off work. Exactly eight hours to work. Don’t worry, Sister Hua, you see I have set each alarm clock five minutes earlier, so I won’t leave early or be late. By the way, I suggest the company put a punch card machine..."

  Hoo...

Zhang Xiuhua took another deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart, clenched her hands into fists, resisting the urge to slap Wang Cheng, looked at the twenty-two o'clock, gritted her teeth and asked, "Twenty-two What do dots mean?"

Wang Cheng seriously replied: "That's the time to go to bed at night. According to the theory of Chinese medicine, going to bed at 10 o'clock in the evening is the best time to rest. Physical development, sleeping until six o'clock the next morning, exactly eight hours of sleep!"

  Zhang Xiuhua still gritted her teeth, stared at Wang Cheng, and asked word by word: "Why don't you go to the public examination?"

  Wang Cheng shook his head with regret, and replied: "I have thought about it, but I am not old enough, and I don't have enough education! It's impossible..."

  When he was sleeping at night, he really thought about taking the public examination, entering a leisure unit, commuting on time every day, reading newspapers, drinking tea, and waiting for retirement, isn’t it beautiful?

  The most important thing is that if you succeed in the public examination, you can directly terminate the contract with the company!

pity…

  He became a trainee after graduating from high school. He doesn't even have a bachelor's degree certificate.

   It is impossible to reach the end of the universe in this life.

boom…

  Zhang Xiuhua closed the door and walked quickly to her office. She was afraid that if she continued to talk to Wang Cheng, she could not help but slap Wang Cheng on the face, and said in a low voice, "Go to the practice room immediately..."

   Wang Cheng's unhurried voice came from the room: "Sister Hua, there are still a few minutes."

boom…

  Zhang Xiuhua entered her office, and angrily slammed the door of the office, which could be heard almost on the entire floor.
