Chapter 58 The Happy Boys Production Team
Super Boy?
Lu Jie naturally knew about this program; he had watched it in his previous life as well.
There were only four films produced in total, namely 2007, 2010, 2013 and 2017.
Zhang Jie from 07 was quite popular, Wei Chen and Chen Chusheng were somewhat famous, and the most famous was the mage from 13.
Apart from that, there are no other well-known players.
It seems that not a single singer became famous through the show, especially in the 2010 and 2017 episodes.
It's understandable that the 2017 Super Boy competition didn't become popular, since talent shows were already gaining popularity at that time.
Moreover, the popularity of talent shows that year was all concentrated on the show "The Coming One," and Mao Buyi really became a breakout star.
Almost no one watched the Super Boy competition anymore, and it was discontinued after that.
But the 2010 season was really terrible, back when talent shows were still king.
None of them have become breakout hits.
Li Xingliang, the only one who later became popular again, was still a controversial figure, criticized by the entire internet to the point that he almost left the entertainment industry.
He knew about Li Xingliang because he was heavily criticized on the show "Goodbye My Love". After checking his background, he found out that he was actually a contestant on the 10 Super Boy competition.
He genuinely couldn't remember the other contestants.
The first place winner seems to be a singer surnamed Li, what was his name again?
Lu Jie thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember.
Of course, whether this show becomes popular or not is a matter for the future.
Right now, the show is still quite popular.
These talent shows, except for the final competition which is broadcast live, are all pre-recorded.
He naturally understood the need to sign a confidentiality agreement.
Not only staff members need to sign confidentiality agreements, but even audience members at the event need to sign confidentiality agreements.
After ending his call with Xue Jinhe, he called Zhong Muqing again:
"It's settled."
"I'll report to the film set on the 30th."
Zhong Muqing sounded rather happy on the phone:
"Tomorrow we'll go to school to fill out our college applications, and the day after that we'll go to the film crew in Xiangcheng to report for duty."
"We're going to report to the film set together?" Lu Jie was taken aback. "You're going to be the on-set legal assistant too?"
"No, we only need one legal assistant, you're enough," Zhong Muqing explained.
"I had nothing to do during the summer vacation anyway, so my uncle asked around in this film crew if they needed anyone for an internship. It turned out they needed an administrative clerk, who would be responsible for organizing documents and taking meeting minutes."
"Since we're just killing time anyway, I'll go with you to intern on a film set."
Lu Jie understood; the film crew was just hiring a general helper.
He asked curiously, "Does your uncle know this film crew too?"
"My uncle is an agent for a sports brand that happens to be the GG brand for this film crew, so he knows people in the crew," Zhong Muqing said on the phone.
"That makes sense. The audience for Super Boy is mostly young people, so sports brands are indeed a good fit." Lu Jie thought about it and agreed.
"Hey, this production team is from Super Boy? It's not a TV series?" Zhong Muqing was a little surprised.
"You didn't know?" Lu Jie said. "I asked Lawyer Xue, it's Super Boy, a talent show."
"Okay, I thought it was a TV series. I was just thinking of going to see how TV series are filmed." Zhong Muqing seemed a little disappointed.
"If your uncle gets rejected for another TV series next time, he can go for an internship. Maybe he can even get a supporting role or something. Who knows, he might become a big star," Lu Jie joked.
"We'll act together then," Zhong Muqing added with a smile.
......
The 28th and 29th are the days for filling out the first batch of undergraduate applications in Anhui Province. No. 12 Middle School has arranged for students to fill out the applications in the school's computer room.
Under the rule of filling out college applications after knowing your scores, as long as your score and ranking are not closely related to the school's previous admission ranking in Anhui Province, you will generally be able to apply.
Lu Jie was very confident in his application to the law department of Anhui University. Zhong Muqing's score was a little risky, but according to past experience, she could get into the University of Science and Technology of China.
But if more people apply to HKUST this year, she will be in danger.
So while filling out her college application as usual, she also applied to USTC through the high-level athlete program and submitted the relevant materials.
It's basically guaranteed that I'll be admitted to USTC.
After completing the application, all that's left is to wait for the college entrance examination and the admission process to be completed.
On the afternoon of the 29th, Lu Jie and Zhong Muqing took a plane to Xiangcheng.
On the morning of the 30th, I went to the film crew to report for duty.
Before the report was published, a person in charge of human resources from the production crew contacted him, provided him with the necessary information, and gave him some basic details.
At this point, the audition for the "Super Boy" competition, which narrowed down the top 300 contestants to 60, had been completed, but the show had not yet officially aired.
The recording of the top 60 to top 30 competition will be held at a studio in Xiangcheng.
Therefore, the reporting location is this broadcasting base.
"It hasn't aired yet?" He was somewhat surprised after learning about the program's progress.
Why do I vaguely remember that the Super Boy competition was already in the top 7 or so in July?
Could I have remembered it wrong?
The staff explained to him, "Due to some reasons, the broadcast was delayed by a month this year."
The staff didn't give him any further details.
Although he was a little curious, he was only there to provide on-site legal services, and the progress of the program was none of his business, so he didn't ask any further questions.
The studio is located in the far suburbs of Xiangcheng, a bit far from the city center, but the entire base is very large and can accommodate hundreds of people.
As the staff entered the studio, he looked around curiously.
The studio has dormitories, a canteen, and several factory-like buildings.
At first glance, it really does look a bit like a factory.
However, the office location was much better; it was a four-story building with very new renovations.
His office was a small office with a sign that read "Legal Affairs Department," and it had four desks.
However, since no one uses it, it's as if the office is reserved for him alone.
Zhong Muqing was taken to a larger office.
On the 30th, no specific work was assigned to him.
After speaking with Attorney Xue on the phone, he received some materials via QQ, instructing him to familiarize himself with the standard contract terms for the contestants and the program team before making further arrangements.
After downloading the contract, he read it very carefully.
There are two contracts. One is a framework agreement, which is used to establish a performance relationship between the contestants who sign up for the show and the production team, stipulating the responsibilities and remuneration of both parties.
It's quite broad, somewhat like the labor contracts he'd seen in his previous life.
The second document is much more detailed and is for the advancing contestants to sign.
The agreement stipulated the kind of promotional support the contestants would receive, the quality of songs that could be provided, and the contestants' obligation to cooperate with the program's promotional efforts for a certain period of time.
This contract has relatively strict restrictions, and the liability for breach of contract is very heavy.
However, this only applies to matters related to the program; there are no restrictions outside of the program.
His first day's work involved reviewing different contract terms. Then, a crew member showed him all the signed contracts and asked him to keep them. That was the end of his work.
He thought he would have a few more days of leisure, but unexpectedly an emergency occurred on the second day that required his involvement.
"The 300-to-60 competition has already aired three episodes, with only the last episode remaining."
"A contestant is saying they want to withdraw from the competition. What should we do?"
