Chapter 79 The Sincerity of Jin Xiao
"I've read the contract, and overall there's no problem. I've highlighted some clauses that you can negotiate with the other party."
Lawyer Lin said, pointing with a pen to Shen Ci and Shen Li: "Like the contract term here, the agency contract for newcomers is generally five to ten years, not too short, but there are also three-year contracts. It depends on how you negotiate."
"And the resources I promised you: one S-level platform project per year, with a role no lower than the third female lead. These soft terms leave room for negotiation."
Shen Li nodded in understanding and said to her sister: “Sister, as long as it is the role I want to play, I can accept the project level and role size.”
"You can explain this idea to the other party in a moment. You must learn to express your demands." Shen Ci said.
As we were talking, there was a knock on the dressing room door. It was Sister Kuan.
"Hello, Chenli."
As soon as they met, Sister Kuan enthusiastically extended her hand to greet Shen Li.
"Hello, teacher, who are you?" Chen Li asked while shaking hands with the other party.
Sister Kuan got straight to the point: "I'm the artist manager for Jinxiao Entertainment. You can just call me Sister Kuan."
Chen Li suddenly showed a look of enlightenment when she heard this. Xiaoyun and Apan are both from "Jinxiao", and the producer of this drama is also "Jinxiao" Entertainment.
"Sister Kuan, please take a seat. What can I do for you?"
Sister Kuan smiled and said, "Of course, take a look at this first."
Sister Kuan casually took out the artist contract from her bag and handed it to Chen Li. When Chen Li saw the words on the cover, she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but was interrupted by Sister Kuan softly: "Don't rush to refuse, take a look first."
Seeing this, Xiaoyun whispered to Chen Li, "Sister Kuan is Jin Xiao's top agent. Yao Bin and Ji Chuhe were both brought up by Sister Kuan."
When Shen Li heard this, she couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise.
"Thank you, Sister Kuan. Let me take a look first." Chen Li obediently reached out to take it, but she couldn't help feeling conflicted in her heart.
Regardless of whether the terms of this contract would be better, she had basically already tacitly agreed to sign a contract with Teacher Yu Hong. This was what she had always thought.
As if sensing her sister's uneasiness, Shen Ci patted her back soothingly and whispered, "It's okay, just wait and see. When you make a decision, just follow your heart."
She knew her sister's personality and that it was difficult for her to refuse others, but one must always learn to say "no", especially in the entertainment industry.
Chen Li nodded. With her sister around, she did feel much more at ease.
The conditions offered by "Jin Xiao"'s contract were indeed more attractive than those of Teacher Yu Hong, but the parts that highlighted the advantages were not the parts that Chen Li cared about very much.
For example, in terms of the pay ratio, Jin Xiao gave her one point more.
For example, Jin Xiao promised to give her an "S"-level leading female role within two years, and also a starring role in a "star-rated drama".
These extremely tempting promises could be an opportunity for any newcomer to achieve success overnight.
Only Chen Li did not feel too much emotional after watching it.
"Sister, what do you think?" Chen Li looked at her sister with some embarrassment.
The conditions offered by "Jin Xiao" were too outstanding. Even though she was not moved in her heart, she could not deny that the other party was sincere.
She also currently has seven scripts handed to her by "Jin Xiao", asking her to choose the role she most wants to play. She doesn't know why the other party did this, but as a newcomer, she is very grateful for the opportunity to choose a role like this.
Including this drama, she was able to get the role of "Hua Xixi" and she was very grateful to "Jin Xiao" for his recognition of her from the beginning to the end.
When she thought about this, she became even more confused.
"You're asking me?"
Shen Li nodded.
Chen Ci smiled playfully and said bluntly, "To be honest, I prefer the 'Golden Xiao'."
As if she understood why her sister would give this answer, Shen Li breathed a deep breath.
Seeing this, Sister Kuan smiled and said bluntly, "This contract is our top newcomer contract at Golden Xiao. To date, only Ji Chuhe has obtained this contract. Now her achievements are obvious to all. So, Chen Li, we at Golden Xiao still value you very much."
"Thank you, Sister Kuan. I understand all of this. This is the first time I've encountered this kind of situation, so I'm a little confused."
As he was speaking, a staff member knocked on the door and poked his head in and said to Chen Li, "Ali, get ready for the filming to begin."
Chen Li needed to pull herself away from her current emotions, so she quickly nodded and stood up when she heard this: "Sorry, Sister Kuan, I have two scenes this morning, so I'll go over first."
"Okay, I'll be on the set all day today, you can take your time to think about it."
Chen Li nodded, gave her sister a look, and then hurried out of the dressing room.
Sister Kuan and Lawyer Lin followed him out, leaving only Shen Ci, Xiaoyun and Apan in the dressing room.
Chen Ci opened the suitcase on his own, took out three packaging bags from it, and greeted the two of them: "I brought you some Shenzhen and Hong Kong specialties. Thank you for taking care of Ah Li these days."
The packaging bag looks very high-end, with the words "Special Grade Sea Cucumber" clearly marked on it.
This thing is not cheap even in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
"You are too polite. I feel embarrassed." Xiaoyun said with some surprise, as if she didn't expect that Ali's sister would be so thoughtful and even brought them gifts.
Chen Ci smiled and said, "You're welcome. It's all my duty. As a newbie, Ah Li doesn't know a lot of things. Thanks to you for taking care of me. I'll give each of you a box. This box is for Teacher Wenxuan."
She even did not leave out the makeup artist Wenxuan, and Xiaoyun and Apan's impression of Chen Ci instantly improved a lot.
After the two accepted it, they thanked him repeatedly. Shen Ci took the opportunity to ask with concern: "My sister is not good at expressing her feelings, especially some unhappy things. She never talks about them. Is she okay on the set these days? Has anything unpleasant happened?"
This question was quite straightforward, Shen Ci just wanted to know how her sister was doing.
Xiaoyun and Apan looked at each other subconsciously when they heard this. The person A Li mentioned most often was her sister, so the two knew that the relationship between the two sisters must be very close.
After hesitating for a moment, A Pan nodded gently at Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yun spoke softly, "Everything else is fine. Everyone likes A Li very much. The director likes her because she's a good actress, so he often praises her. The staff likes her because she has a good personality. She calls everyone "teacher" and is very polite."
"There's an actress named Kate Tsui. I heard from Ah-Li that she went to the same school as her. A while ago, when filming a scene where Ah-Li fell into the water, she deliberately did a lot of NGs, causing Ah-Li to stay in the water for over half an hour. Ah-Li was so upset that she cried."
