Starting a second career in the entertainment industry

Chapter 108 The second variety show shooting

Wenrou said modestly: "It's just that I go to school early, and then I start work early too."

Teacher He: "You are one year older than Nan Nan, so you were born in 99. Are all kids nowadays so talented? You are being too modest. Graduating from Central University of Finance and Economics is not as simple as going to school early. Let me ask a question that everyone wants to ask. Did your parents beat you? You graduated from a prestigious university but went on to do other things. Do they think you are not doing your job properly?"

Wenrou: "Actually, it's hard to find a job in many industries now, so I just do what I like. I feel like my mom wants to beat me up, but my dad is more of a Buddhist. As long as I work honestly, he won't go there that much. But we made a promise when we were young that if I'm still so determined to enter the entertainment industry after graduating from college, then he'll respect me."

Teacher He was really smart. He immediately understood Wen Ling's mother's intentions: "Then your mother is very wise. If you are still determined to stick to your original idea, you will have a way out in the future. After all, a good academic background is still a good stepping stone."

The two of them soon reached this point in their conversation, and Teacher He shifted the topic to other people.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the interns to sign their contracts.

Everyone talked about the problems they encountered, or how to deal with labor topics or economic contracts.

Among them, Teacher He talked about some inside stories of entertainment companies signing many trainees. Everyone sighed a little, perhaps the topic was a bit heavy, and then the topic shifted to the guests of the observation group.

Wenrou's few memories about the entertainment industry were somewhat revived at this moment. She was originally an inactive member of the gossip group, and she just skipped through a lot of the gossip.

Today, I suddenly thought of the suspension of Happy Camp after I had a trigger. At that time, many people analyzed it. Some said that it was suspended because the higher-ups were very dissatisfied with this kind of entertainment-oriented program and that it had a bad influence on teenagers. Others said that it was because Teacher He exposed the unspoken rules and offended people.

Wenrou, a newbie in the entertainment industry, really had no idea what was going on. After all, no relevant host mentioned the matter later and everyone was very shy about this issue.

Now that the topic has been discussed, she can only continue the conversation: "I had a lawyer with me when I signed the contract, and then we interpreted the terms of the contract one by one. Although I may not be able to give too much advice, signing a contract does require caution."

Then she smiled gently: "Actually, Nannan's approach is quite correct. The other party's promise to you may require objective conditions to be difficult to fulfill, but you should be very careful about the penalty for breach of contract. It is indeed right to look at the penalty for breach of contract first."

Zhou Zhennan: "Haha, I never thought my idea would be recognized one day, but Lingling, were your parents with you when you signed the contract?"

Wenrou: "Almost. My parents saw the contract in advance, and the lawyer they invited to sign the contract was also a colleague of my parents."

Teacher He: "This is so professional. It seems that you are not afraid anymore. If anyone bullies me, I will call my parents over. My parents are lawyers. I will sue anyone who bullies me!"

A funny imitation made everyone laugh.

Teacher He: "After we see the results, let's look at other things. I noticed that when the interns got together, they all talked about their schools. Is this the case in this industry, or do people care about their academic qualifications after graduation?"

Zhou Zhennan joked that he had indeed encountered this situation before, and that the other party said it as a joke when he was on good terms with him.

Wenrou thought for a moment: "When I introduce myself to everyone now, I say that I have graduated from university. If I don't say that I graduated from Central University of Finance and Economics, people who don't know me will say, "Oh, you are amazing to have graduated from university at such a young age. However, I saw on the Internet that people were not optimistic about my graduation from Central University of Finance and Economics and entering the entertainment industry. So sometimes a high degree does not mean you can get a good job everywhere."

Everyone agrees with this point, especially in the entertainment industry, where graduating from a prestigious university is too prominent and can create some distance between you and others.

Lawyer Yue talked about some rules of this industry: "Education is indeed something that people pay attention to. When it comes to academic qualifications, we have to mention the five academies and four departments. The five academies are: China University of Political Science and Law, East China University of Political Science and Law, Southwest University of Political Science and Law, Northwest University of Political Science and Law and Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, and the four departments are: Peking University Law Department, Renmin University Law Department, Wuhan Law Department and Jilin University Law Department. In fact, Dalian Maritime University's maritime law is very good in China, Guo Xu does not need to be embarrassed."

After listening to Ketong, everyone nodded repeatedly, and Zhou Zhennan, who was taking notes seriously, was singled out for praise.

Teacher He: "No matter what, the fact that everyone can participate in this program proves how excellent they are."

Wenrou is the newest newcomer here. Seniority is the basis of rank in the Asian cultural circle, so Wenrou doesn't do anything that stands out. After Lawyer Yue finished talking about the five institutes and four departments, Wenrou was cueed again.

"Lingling, your family members are all lawyers, so did they all graduate from the five colleges and four departments?" This set the scope for her. If she answered no, wouldn't it seem that her family members were not capable?

But it’s not that this topic cannot be answered. It’s just that Wenrou can sense the unusual meaning. If her family didn’t graduate from these famous colleges, she would probably be embarrassed: “Well..., my parents graduated from China University of Political Science and Law, and my brother later chose this school. He is currently studying for a master’s degree at the Law School of the University of Cologne.”

Lawyer Yue: "University of Cologne? Your brother is very good. This is one of the best universities in Germany. It seems that he is also a very good law student in China. German degrees are notoriously difficult to obtain. It seems that he is very confident in his abilities."
