Chapter 15 Sky-high liquidated damages
Wu Mu, celebrity, breach of contract, compensation, prosecution. They are all hot words.
So this announcement issued by Xinghai Mobile has attracted a lot of attention, and many people are concerned about how much Wumu will pay.
Does Wumu Economic Company, which was also sued, need to help Wumu pay liquidated damages?
All kinds of print media, newspapers, and self-media marketing accounts went to interview Xinghai Mobile, and then someone actually interviewed and found out the real thing.
A senior executive from Xinghai Mobile revealed that their demands in the indictment were for Wumu to refund the two-year endorsement fee of RMB 60 million and pay 30% of the stipulated in the contract, which is a liquidated damages of RMB 20 million. In addition, They also advocated compensation for the loss of their brand image caused by his collapse of the house.
Sixty million endorsement fees!
Twenty million liquidated damages!
There is also compensation for brand loss.
Even for netizens who have canceled their contracts or lost their houses, this is one of the top claims figures.
Wu Mu knew about this, and his agent had already informed him.
Although the company has also been sued, due to the cooperation clauses in the artist contract, the company will not help compensate for the losses caused by the artist's own moral reasons.
So Wumu basically has to pay for this money himself.
He didn’t want to lie.
Originally, he specifically asked his agent to contact them, wanting to sit down and negotiate about compensation.
Let’s see if we can lower the price and simply remove the liquidated damages.
As long as it is a reasonable number, he will definitely pay and will not run away and become a deadbeat.
But Xinghai Mobile didn't even bother to answer him, and just sued him.
Wu Mu estimates that after the lawsuit is settled, the endorsement fee will most likely be refunded, and the liquidated damages may be slightly discounted, but the so-called brand loss court will definitely not support it.
But this is already a huge number of 70 to 80 million.
Wu Mu sighed in his heart, he was really careless, he didn't enjoy the benefits, and all the gold coins were his.
He Jie was quite sympathetic, "You must have to pay a lot of compensation for other endorsements."
Wu Mu didn't hide it, "Probably the total compensation is about 400 million."< br>
He can only be thankful that his predecessor did not have many major endorsements like Xinghai Mobile.
Most of the more than 20 endorsements he carries are without much liquidated damages.
Celebrities are not fools. They have no say in big brands and have to accept compensation clauses. Small brands have no shortage of competing products and will agree to sky-high liquidated damages.
Four hundred million?
He Jie looked at Wu Mu with a little pity in his eyes.
Although he didn’t know how much savings Wu Mu had, he was certain that Wu Mu could never afford to lose the 400 million.
Old stars may not be short of the 400 million, but top idols like Wu Mu, who have become popular in a few years, simply cannot afford it.
First, because the time of the fire is too short, it is not enough to save so much.
The second is that top idols like Wu Mu, who have not been popular for a long time, usually have strict contracts with their brokerage companies, and most of the money is actually made by the company.
In fact, just as he thought, the contract between Wu Mu and the company was 30-70.
Only 70%?
70% belong to other people.
It is precisely because of this that his savings are only about 40 million.
As for the company making so much money from him, should he also pay compensation when it comes to compensation?
Don't even think about such a good thing. It would be nice if the company didn't sue him for the collapse of the house, which affected the company's initial investment.
The Xinghai mobile phone matter is indeed quite troublesome, but Wu Mu is not too anxious.
After all, no matter how quick the court's decision is, it will take several months or less than half a year. If he appeals again, he can delay it for another half a year, and the year will pass.
There will be no such difference in money after a year.
Wu Mu was thinking, Mo Mo beside him thought he was worried about losing money.
She hesitated for a moment and then said: "Teacher Wumu? If you are short of money, I can lend you some." Huh?
Wu Mu and He Jie both looked at Mo Mo in surprise.
Especially He Jie, his eyes were so surprised that he looked weird.
What's going on with Mo Mo? Isn't it because he likes this pretty boy Chen Mu?
We have only known each other for a few days, and in less than half a month, you are actually willing to borrow money?
This is not a small amount, tens of millions or hundreds of millions!
Even my biological father has to think about it carefully!
Mo Mo's face turned red when they saw her. She hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I'll just borrow a few million to ten million. I won't borrow more than that."
Okay.
That makes sense. A national little queen is indeed worthy of the ten million.
Wu Mu did not refuse the kindness, "I will ask Teacher Mo Mo if necessary."
After talking about liquidated damages, Wu Mu talked about another matter with Mo Mo. thing.
"Teacher Mo Mo, how about I write your song for the next round," he said.
Huh?
Mo Mo's face immediately bulged, "I won't borrow the money just now!"
This man is floating!
After just one good performance, he actually had to help her write songs!
Mo Mo felt that he was underestimated!
Wu Mu coughed twice in embarrassment, "The main reason is that I happen to have a suitable song in my hand that I can use in the next round."
Of course what he was talking about was the one he had drawn before. "Someone Like Me".
He had this idea before when he saw that the subject was himself.
The program team allows you to help your partners write songs. Originally, it would be a good gimmick for one person to write two songs. Generally, not many singers can do this, so the program team does not prohibit it.
Of course, it's definitely not possible to do something like I help you write songs, and then you help me write songs, trying to use bugs to bypass the rules of the show.
The rule of the next round is to write songs for teammates.
He planned to use the song "Next Stop Queen" he drew today as his own work for Mo Mo to sing in the next round.
Then he helped Mo Mo write a song, "People Like Me", to sing for himself.
The advantage of this is that he can add more points, and he doesn't have to worry that he can't sing the songs written by Mo Mo.
The effect he had on today's show was all due to his skills, but the condition for the skills to bring bonuses was that he had to resonate enough with the song.
If he doesn't feel much about the songs written by Mo Mo, then he will degrade to the level of the first period.
Then he might really be eliminated.
He couldn't bear to part with such a good stage to earn points.
There is also two million per episode of this show. He can make more money by staying for a few more episodes.
"A suitable song?" Mo Mo hesitated and asked: "How does it compare with the one today?"
How does "Someone Like Me" compare with "The Queen"?
Wu Mu thought for a while, "It should be about the same. They are all of the level that can be regarded as masterpieces."
Is it true or false?
Mo Mo’s eyes were a little unbelievable. It was already shocking to her that Wu Mu could write a song called "The Queen of Heaven", but now he can write one of the same level?
With such a level of talent, how come all the songs you wrote before were just mouth-watering songs?
Could it be that Mr. Wumu bought it outside before going on the show? Mo Mo murmured in his heart, and he was once again in the heart of a villain and the heart of a gentleman.
Of course, just thinking about it jokingly.
No one would give up their authorship rights after being able to write a work of this level, not to mention that the program has subject restrictions.
Maybe Teacher Wumu was hurt too much by that bad woman and woke up.
Mo Mo found a reason for Wu Mu in his heart.
"If there is such a level, then let's use Teacher Wu Mu's." Mo Mo is not on the show to prove her creative skills, so she doesn't care whose song she uses.
"Okay, I'll write out the song and show it to you tomorrow." Wu Mu nodded.
