Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 9 Forced to drop out of school? Parents' rage!

Zhou Yang is no fool.

This ten-year contract is tantamount to a servitude contract.

She sold off her most youthful years for a mere two million.

Regardless of how much or how little he earns in the future, most of his income will go into the company's pocket, and he will get nothing.

The company is kind-hearted and can even give a small reward.

If he's ruthless enough, he might run out of money after those two million.

They might even deliberately set traps.

Deducting money from artists not only doesn't make money, but also results in losses. If they are disobedient, they can be frozen out at will, since they have signed a contract of servitude and the right to use them is in the hands of the other party.

In his previous life.

I've seen far too many examples like this in the entertainment industry.

After all, capital isn't a living saint.

"Sorry, I won't sign."

Zhou Yang refused outright and turned to leave.

Such a contract held absolutely no appeal for Zhou Yang.

He now possesses a system, and it's about to become wildly popular.

There's no need to trade time for money. With short videos and live streaming being so popular now, he can earn two million a year just by doing a live stream.

Therefore, this kind of hegemonic treaty.

He would never sign it.

Seeing Zhou Yang's decisive refusal and his immediate departure, Yan Ming began to panic.

This kid, doesn't he know how to bargain? Who lays their cards on the ground right away?

He quickly chased after him.

"Wait a minute, Zhou."

"If you think the contract is not good enough, we can discuss it."

"Why don't you state your request?"

Seeing that Yan Ming was beginning to compromise, Zhou Yang decided to stop while he was ahead and, after some thought, stated his own demands.

"I will only sign a contract with you for the show, record each episode as a guest, and you have no right to interfere with any of my activities outside of the show."

Zhou Yang's request is very simple.

He will only appear as a guest on the show, not as an artist under the company.

"Okay, I promise you."

Yan Ming readily agreed.

Zhou Yang's request is not excessive.

As long as he continues to participate in the show, maintaining the show's ratings is his most important task right now. With Zhou Yang, he has a guarantee of success.

He didn't want to push too hard.

After all, Fruit TV is the industry benchmark. Once any of its programs becomes popular, other TV stations will immediately copy it and launch similar programs.

After this episode of "Youth Roast" became a huge hit, it will definitely be copied by other stations, and there might even be people trying to poach Zhou Yang's talent.

Therefore, the sooner you sign the contract, the better.

There is ample time.

As long as you maintain a good relationship with Zhou Yang, there will be plenty of opportunities to cooperate in the future.

To express their sincerity.

Yan Ming proposed, "I just said I'd sign you for 2 million over ten years, so how about I give you 2 million for each season of the show?"

"no problem."

Zhou Yang readily accepted.

Yan Ming was somewhat surprised, because he had thought that Zhou Yang would try to bargain as before.

I didn't expect them to agree so readily.

This is not even half of his budget. His budget for Zhou Yang was five million per season, and this is less than half of that.

Because Zhou Yang is indeed worth the price.

In today's entertainment industry, it costs at least one or two million yuan to invite a third-tier young male celebrity to participate in a variety show. If it's a package deal for the whole season, it won't be less than eight or nine million yuan.

Just look at the value of Zhou Yang's performance in this episode.

It's worth two million.

So this price is really not expensive.

On the contrary, it's very cheap.

As for Zhou Yang...

He also had his own plans.

Once you become a sensation and gain popularity, money will come to you; there's no need to risk losing more than you gain. Now, young people are saying that this show is the perfect fit for them.

You can even earn reputation points by using public funds to complain.

Don't be too comfortable.

After a verbal agreement is reached.

Yan Ming immediately had the contract printed out, and Zhou Yang carefully read it before signing his name.

Yan Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, it's been a pleasure working together. The next episode is in three days, and I'll send someone to pick you up then."

After saying that, Yan Ming left in a hurry.

His main task now is to finish the post-production editing and prepare for the next episode, so as not to waste this amount of bandwidth.

Zhou Yang then returned to his class.

At this moment, everyone in the class looked at Zhou Yang differently.

Because Zhou Yang was just an ordinary student before, with average grades and not much speaking up, just like most ordinary students.

but now.

Whether they were students or teachers, everyone looked at Zhou Yang with a mixture of complex emotions and admiration.

Many girls had secretly written love letters, planning to hand them to Zhou Yang after class.

But a sound broke the silence.

"Zhou Yang, come to my office."

That's the principal's voice.

He stood at the classroom door, and it was clear he had ill intentions.

Zhou Yang wasn't afraid of him and followed him to the principal's office.

As soon as he entered, the principal patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"Good job, kid."

"The younger generation surpasses the older generation. The principal of Jinghai Middle School is very happy to have such an outstanding student as you."

"Although you won the debate, the principal doesn't hold grudges!"

"On the contrary, the principal particularly admires you."

"However, our school has limited teaching resources. With your outstanding talent, our school may not be able to cultivate your potential."

"This is a great loss to the country!"

“I think you should go to a better school, or you can study at home, which is much better than us old-fashioned teachers.”

Hearing the principal's hypocritical words.

Zhou Yang sneered inwardly.

Knowing that the principal was giving him the order to leave, he was given two options: either drop out and go to another school, or take a leave of absence and study at home.

Actually, he would have dropped out of school even if the principal hadn't said anything.

Because now he can skip the middle school entrance exam and go directly to the college entrance exam to get into a prestigious university, without having to continue studying at school.

not to mention.

He's about to have an extra two million in his account.

Even without studying, one can live a life free from worries about food and clothing.

But the principal's shameless behavior made him very unhappy.

He seemed to know the way very well.

This method has undoubtedly forced countless students who did not perform well in their studies to suspend or drop out of school, because students cannot be expelled during the nine-year compulsory education system.

Staying in school would affect the college entrance rate.

Zhou Yang made up his mind that he must find an opportunity to make this despicable and shameless person pay the price.

At this moment, he still went with the flow.

"Okay, then I'll just withdraw from school."

The principal was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. He hadn't even started coercing or bribing anyone, and the procedures weren't even finished yet.

He felt even more disdain for Zhou Yang.

He's still just a kid at heart, full of twisted logic. In the real world, he's a joke in the face of seasoned veterans like them.

Soon, the withdrawal application was signed, and Zhou Yang left the school without looking back.

"If you dare drop out of school, I'll beat you up... and give you an egg to eat."

When Zhou Yang returned home.

After she announced that she was dropping out of school, it immediately triggered her parents' fury.

But when he showed the two of them his bank card balance.

The two men, enraged, instantly performed a Sichuan opera skill—face-changing!
