Chapter 84 I represent my sister with full authority
After Chen Li finished filming two scenes in the morning, Wen Xuan helped her remove her makeup. A Pan ran to the restaurant outside the film and television base and packed some dishes, most of which were Chen Li's favorites.
After these days of contact, Apan has already figured out Chenli's habits and tastes.
Seeing A Pan putting out the dishes one by one, Chen Li couldn't help but ask, "So many?"
Ah Pan heard this and said, "Is this still a lot? Logically speaking, we should celebrate a good day like today. I didn't buy so much because I thought you said you didn't want to be too conspicuous."
Xiaoyun counted them and smiled, "It's only eight dishes, a few more than usual. Even if we're keeping a low profile and not celebrating, can't we still buy some for your sister? Your sister is visiting today, so isn't it reasonable to order a couple more dishes?"
As soon as the voice fell, Shen Ci walked in from outside with a smile on his face: "What did you buy for me to eat?"
"Sister!" Chen Li came forward and asked, "Where have you been? I just asked Xiaoyun to go out and look for you for a long time."
Shen Ci responded naturally: "Just wandering around. It's a rare opportunity to come to the film and television base. I was wondering if I could meet some celebrities. I just saw Song Yuner. I remember you liked her very much."
Chen Li nodded excitedly: "Yes, I have watched several of her plays, and her acting is very good."
Then he felt sorry for the "idol": "But with such good acting skills, I don't know why the company always wants her to play ancient costume dramas. She rarely has a chance to win an award."
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyun blurted out, "Ancient idol dramas have traffic and can attract fans. Although this genre isn't favored by mainstream awards, it's a very popular track. Song Yuner is currently the top star, so she probably doesn't want to change. If she fails, she'll be left with nothing!"
After all, he is an internal employee of the entertainment company and knows everything about these things.
Chen Li seemed to understand Song Yuner, but it seemed that she couldn't fully understand her.
Anyway, she doesn't want to keep playing period dramas unless the roles are completely different and challenging.
Shen Ci knew her sister very well and knew what she was thinking, so she smiled and reminded her: "Remember what you are thinking now, and remember to bring it up when we discuss the contract later."
"Ah?" Chen Li didn't expect her sister to see through her thoughts at a glance, and hesitated, "Can I bring this up?"
Shen Ci had already sat down leisurely and was about to start eating. Upon hearing this, he said casually, "It's your right to raise it or not. Whether you can accept it depends on their opinion. Negotiation is a give-and-take."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up: "So soft and tender, so delicious!"
Seeing this, A Pan smiled proudly: "This store is a treasure trove, hidden in a small road, most people don't know it."
Shen Ci invited everyone to sit down and eat together. The food tastes better when there are more people, and they can also chat.
Halfway through the meal, Sister Kuan came, and before she could say a few words, Yu Hong also arrived late.
As soon as they met, Yu Hong acted like a junior and greeted Sister Kuan: "Hello Sister Kuan, long time no see."
Sister Kuan, a slightly plump woman with a kind smile, was very polite when she saw Yu Hong: "It's been a long time indeed. The last time was the Golden Plum Blossom Awards ceremony about half a year ago."
"Teachers, please stop standing and sit down and talk."
A Pan cleared the table and Chen Li quickly asked the two to sit down.
Their mutual intentions were already clear, so as soon as they sat down, Yu Hong took the initiative to look at Chen Li and said, "A Li, have you read the contract? What do you think?"
Chen Li started to get nervous again at this time, the kind of nervousness that she couldn't control. Originally, she would have felt at ease if it was only Teacher Yu Hong, but now with Sister Kuan, it was hard for her not to feel conflicted, and she didn't know how to say no to either of them.
Seeing this, Chen Ci spoke up for her sister, “Teachers, I am Chen Li’s biological sister. My name is Chen Ci.”
Sister Kuan knew Chen Ci's identity, but she nodded as if she had just met her. Yu Hong's eyes lit up subconsciously when she looked at Chen Ci.
She is such a beautiful girl, and she would definitely be a good talent if she could act.
Chen Ci first looked at Yu Hong and said seriously, "Teacher Yu Hong, I've admired you for a long time. Ah Li has mentioned you to me more than once. I've also asked a lawyer to look over your contract."
Yu Hong nodded with a smile: "It's a good thing to be cautious."
Chen Ci continued, "There really isn't a big problem with the contract, but as you can see, Sister Kuan is sitting here now, which means another company has also extended an olive branch to my sister."
"A-Li has a soft personality, easily entangled but unable to refuse others, so today I will be representing my sister to further discuss the contract with the two teachers."
Facing the two big guys in the circle, Shen Ci responded in an orderly manner as soon as he opened his mouth, without any panic.
Chen Li looked at her sister with gratitude. Fortunately, her sister came, otherwise she would not know what to do today.
Both contracts were placed on the table. Chen Ci felt that this was a big deal for her sister, and if she wanted to talk about it, she had to talk it through in one go. She couldn't compromise just because her sister was a newcomer.
Even if the talks between the two families broke down, Chen Ci was able to protect her sister on her own. At worst, she could set up a personal studio and act as an investor to select scripts and teams for her sister. She could also afford the initial investment.
Of course, at this time she was still negotiating for her sister with full sincerity. If she could sign with a satisfactory company, it would definitely be a good thing for her sister. After all, professional matters should be left to professional companies, which would definitely be much easier for a layman like herself to do.
"Then I'll skip the formalities and get straight to the point." Chen Ci looked at the two people in front of him and said straight to the point, "Just looking at these two contracts, Sister Kuan's terms are better than Teacher Yu Hong's. The profit share ratio is a bit higher, and the promise of future resources is more attractive."
Sister Kuan just smiled slightly when she heard this, as if she knew what was going on.
Yu Hong took a deep breath and said helplessly, "I really can't do anything about this. The authority of agents within the company is also divided into different levels. Sister Kuan is highly respected and has the authority to offer top-level contracts at Jin Xiao. But I can't do that. This is the best contract I can get within my ability."
She couldn't argue about this kind of thing, especially in front of Sister Kuan.
Shen Ci nodded and added: "But I don't really care about these. Of course it's good to have them, but not having them won't be the key point for Ali to make a decision."
At this point, Chen Ci paused slightly, sat up straight, and said softly, "What I care about is Ali's demands. There are some terms I need to add. As a newcomer, it may seem a bit rude to make such a request, but you two both have the right to refuse. Since we are discussing it, it should be reasonable for you to express your demands to each other, right?"
