Chapter 85 You Have a Good Sister (Monthly Ticket Plus)
Chen Li observed the expressions and reactions of the two teachers from the side, feeling both nervous and somewhat admiring of her sister. If it were her, she would never dare to say these words.
Yu Hong's expression changed slightly, because in all these years in the industry, she had never encountered a situation where the initiative was in the hands of the other party when signing a new person. Even though Chen Li had outstanding conditions, it was not unprecedented.
Sister Kuan, on the other hand, always had a smile on her face, not showing any displeasure at all.
Shen Ci was polite first and then aggressive, getting straight to the point: "First, both of your contracts clearly state that actors are not allowed to fall in love during the contract period. I hope this can be removed."
"I can see that this clause should be a requirement for all companies when signing new artists, but I think love is something that cannot be controlled. You suppress the nature of actors, and in the end, everyone will secretly date, and then the company will be bombarded with PR."
"I understand that companies want artists to remain single in order to attract fans, but Ah Li only wants to be an actress, not a celebrity. So I don't want to use the tricks of a traffic star to control my sister's freedom, or even control her private life."
Yu Hong opened her mouth but couldn't figure out how to respond.
Sister Kuan still had a smile on her face. After hearing this, she looked at Chen Li and asked, "Little girl, you are not already in a relationship, are you?"
Shen Li was stunned, and her face flushed: “No teacher, I have never been in love.”
Shen Ci also explained: "What I said does not mean that my sister will definitely fall in love in the future, but I want to reserve her right to fall in love freely."
Sister Kuan raised her eyebrows and nodded: "OK, no problem, I can agree to this."
Yu Hong bit her lip in confusion and said nothing.
Seeing this, Chen Ci said, "The second rule is that Ah Li won't play any roles that are too homogenized within three years. We can swap roles under certain conditions. As long as the roles don't overlap, Ah Li can play a minor supporting role, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't play the lead role."
Chen Li nodded in agreement excitedly. Her sister's words really touched her heart. She wanted to play more different roles and leave different screen images for the audience.
Sister Kuan thought for a moment and said, "Three years is too long. Two years is fine. Because the environment in the industry is like this now. There are too many homogenized scripts. Those ancient idol dramas are all wearing the same skin. There are dozens of them released every year. There are really not many good ones."
Chen Ci thought about it carefully and realized that what Sister Kuan said was indeed the current situation. Gu Lianxing watched five dramas in the dormitory in a month, three ancient costume dramas and two urban dramas, all of which were the same old story in a different bottle.
So Shen Ci nodded and agreed to the two-year time limit.
Yu Hong sighed helplessly again.
Then I heard Chen Ci continue to mention: "Ali will not be on regular variety shows. She is not good at speaking and has a shy personality, so she is not suitable for variety shows. But if it is necessary for the crew to promote the show, she can appear occasionally."
"A-Li can't entertain investors for the company, especially private drinking parties. Absolutely not!"
Shen Ci listed a lot of supplementary clauses in one breath. These were all what she could think of her sister's needs, as well as some of the things her sister had suffered in her previous life.
It was actually very unreasonable and even a bit arrogant for a newcomer to make such a request, and Shen Ci knew all of this.
So she didn't let Ali speak, and she acted as the arrogant person standing in front of her sister. As long as Ali benefited from the talk, she didn't care.
What Chen Ci didn't expect was that although she thought she would have to argue with the other party for several rounds over these "excessive" terms, Sister Kuan actually agreed to everything from beginning to end.
Looking at Yu Hong again, her expression was so ugly that it could no longer be described.
This is the difference in power. Sister Kuan can decide on the contract without consulting anyone, but Yu Hong cannot, because she does not have that much power.
So she stood up and said, "I'm going to make a phone call."
After leaving the dressing room, Yu Hong called her boss and reported the current situation to him briefly.
"You've seen today's trending searches. Chen Li has huge potential. If we can't show a little more sincerity, I won't be able to sign her today."
I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but Yu Hong's worried face turned even darker. "I'm trying to rob Sister Kuan of this person! If you don't give me the right, I'll risk my life to win. Are you going to just give up such a good seedling to Jin Xiao?"
"Okay, okay, I have no choice today. Sister Kuan nods to everything they say, and I just stand there staring blankly like a piece of wood. I can't afford to lose face like this!"
After saying that, Yu Hong hung up the phone angrily.
After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting her mood, she returned to the dressing room with a normal expression, and then smiled at Chen Li and said, "Ali, you are a good child. I really want to sign you, but the conditions your sister proposed today are really limited in my ability and I can't agree to them."
"If we force you to sign, we might not be able to protect you well in the future. But Sister Kuan is different. You will have a better development if you follow her. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again in the future!"
Chen Li's eyes turned red with apology: "Teacher Yu Hong... I..."
"No need to apologize." Yu Hong looked at her with a frank smile. "You are indeed prone to being bullied. Actually, there is something I have always wanted to apologize to you about. I ran into you backstage at that press conference. When you were left alone by the staff, I could have helped you, but I didn't. I selfishly wanted to make you suffer so that you would feel that you should have a company to rely on and then come to me for a contract. I am very sorry about what happened."
Chen Li listened to Yu Hong's words and tears began to flow uncontrollably. She was such a simple and soft-hearted girl.
She choked up and said, "It's okay, teacher. Although I have only met you a few times, you have taught me a lot..."
Yu Hong's heart was also slightly touched. She patted Chen Li's shoulder, then glanced at Chen Ci and said sincerely: "Fortunately, you are not alone. You have a good sister."
Shen Li nodded while crying.
"Sister Kuan!" Yu Hong turned to look at Sister Kuan and smiled helplessly. "When I knew you were coming, I felt like I had no chance. But it was also a very interesting experience. Being able to compete with Sister Kuan for someone once is enough for me to brag about for two years."
Sister Kuan smiled and said, "Don't say that. I understand your difficulties. Sun Dongjun is very short-sighted. If you are interested in coming to "Jin Xiao", I welcome you anytime!"
Yu Hong smiled upon hearing this. "If someone had said this about my boss in the past, I would have definitely spoken up for him. But today, I completely agree with Sister Kuan. He really... will regret this one day!"
A seemingly serious negotiation ended in such a warm way.
Yu Hong gave up knowing the difficulty, and Chen Li's agency contract finally fell into the hands of "Jinxiao Media".
