With the rise of various short ** platforms, many people dream of becoming Internet celebrity anchors. However, this anchor is not suitable for everyone, and it is even more difficult to become an Internet celebrity, and if you do not have a correct understanding and control of yourself, it may cause a series of problems. A case that the reporter recently came into contact with reminded everyone: anchors are not so easy to be.
Late-night live broadcast for 6 hours.
The contracted anchor was hospitalized due to excessive pressure.
Post-00s "Xiao Pan girl (pseudonym) is from Anhui Province and has lived with her parents in Ningbo since she Xi was a child. In March this year, she signed a contract with Ningbo Huayue Culture Media and became an online anchor. But unexpectedly, this decision caused her a lot of trouble.
According to his father, Lao Pan, Xiao Pan's live broadcast time is late at night. "The company requires six hours of live broadcasts at a time, and there are various requirements, and once it is not completed, it will not be shared. For this, the child is under a lot of pressure. For a while, he even had an emotional breakdown, and there were auditory hallucinations and other conditions, which were even so serious that he needed to be hospitalized. As parents, we are worried. At this time, Lao Pan realized that his daughter did not seem to be suitable for this job, and it was very different from the original good idea.
So, Lao Pan asked Xiao Pan to stop the live broadcast and recuperate at home. Who knows, it didn't take long for them to receive the company's indictment. On the grounds of Xiao Pan's unilateral breach of contract, the company demanded compensation of 60,000 yuan from Xiao Pan in accordance with the liability for breach of contract stipulated in the contract. At this moment, Lao Pan's family was even more panicked.
We didn't make any money, we were so stressed that we had physical problems, and now we want to lose money. What do we need to do?"Lao Pan is very anxious.
This live broadcast didn't sell goods, it's the so-called acting talent, my daughter is an ordinary person, she said that she became an artist after training, I don't know what she performs, I feel like I'm being **. Lao Pan believes that Xiao Pan's physical problems are caused by too much pressure from the company, and the company should take responsibility and ask for a waiver of 60,000 yuan in compensation.
We didn't make any money, and we have to pay 60,000 yuan in compensation, which I think is the overlord clause, which is to pit young people. Lao Pan has always insisted on his opinion.
However, the reporter did not see Xiao Pan. Lao Pan said that his daughter has been reluctant to contact strangers recently.
Everyone has pressure, and they should be responsible for their actions".
According to the information provided by Lao Pan, the reporter came to Ningbo Huayue Culture Media to understand the situation. However, the reporter saw that the name of the company on the address wall was Ningbo Huayu Culture Media*** and the information provided by Lao Pan was not consistent. Moreover, the gate of the site was closed and there were no staff.
The reporter contacted Mr. Wang, the person in charge of the company, through public information on the Internet. Mr. Wang told reporters that the two companies have mutual shareholdings, and although the names and registered addresses are different, they share the same address for a period of time. At present, the company has moved to another location due to the expiration of rent.

Our company has more than one contracted anchor, and now Xiao Pan unilaterally breached the contract and did not complete the company's assessment indicators, so we went through the judicial process and hoped that she could be held responsible for her actions. Mr. Wang said.
In today's society, who doesn't have pressure?As an adult, since we have signed a contract, we must be responsible for our own actions, and we also demand that they bear due responsibility through legal channels. Speaking of the work pressure of live broadcasting, Mr. Wang said.
According to public information, Ningbo Huayue Culture Media was established in July 2019, and its legal representative is also a supervisor of Ningbo Huayue Culture Media.
According to the reporter's understanding, the two companies, as plaintiffs, have had several contract dispute cases in the past two years.
Update: The parties have reached a settlement and the company has waived the claim.
On December 5, the reporter contacted lawyer Chen, the legal counsel of the company involved, and he revealed more information to the reporter.
At that time, when the contract was signed, the company gave Xiao Pan a signing fee of 20,000 yuan. Lawyer Chen said that according to the contract, the contracted anchor must complete at least 25 days of live broadcast every month, and the broadcast time is not less than 6 hours each time. However, the specific time period is not fixed, and it can be decided by the contracted anchor.
Before taking up the post, the company conducted relevant training for Xiao Pan and provided corresponding equipment and convenience, hoping to ensure the smooth progress of the live broadcast. Lawyer Chen told reporters, but Xiao Pan only broadcast live for 15 days in the first month, did not complete the requirements stipulated by the company, and also blocked the company's WeChat. After several attempts to communicate with each other to no avail, the company filed a civil lawsuit. According to the contract, the company can require Xiao Pan to compensate for the loss of 60,000 yuan. But according to Xiao Pan's actual situation, she is now only asked to return the previous signing fee of 20,000 yuan, and no other requirements are made. Lawyer Chen told reporters that at noon on December 5, after court mediation, they had reached an agreement with Xiao Pan, and the two sides settled.
Lawyer Chen said frankly that Xiao Pan is not the only contracted anchor who has problems. "Once some anchors sign a contract and get the signing fee, they don't perform the contract well, and even lose contact, which causes a lot of trouble to the company's business. Some streamers may be contracted with more than one company. ”
Legal professionals remind:
For entertainment companies and brokerage companies, the rights and obligations of both parties should be reasonably set based on the principle of fairness, and the standard clauses in the contract should be prompted and explained
For anchors and artists engaged in online live broadcasting, before signing a contract with the company, they should have an in-depth understanding of the real situation of the industry, fully consider their actual situation, especially the terms involving their own obligations and responsibilities, and ask the company to explain in detail if they are unclear, and be wary of the company taking advantage of its dominant position to set up unequal contractual obligations, and avoid "signing it all at once".
