Chapter 410 Testing the Waters
"Don't worry, although I'm young, I've learned a lot."
Lawyer Quan in front of him was afraid that people would underestimate his ability because of his appearance.
"No, no."
Ye Qian was deeply moved by the idea that age shouldn't be underestimated. After all, she, too, had made a lot of money at a young age, yet was often looked down upon. She was different. She had a cheat, so her achievements were not without merit. But the young man before her was only 25 years old at most, yet he was already a renowned lawyer. Of course, Ye Qian didn't know whether he was famous or not; this was what Lawyer Zhao had told her.
But it is really not easy to become a lawyer at the age of 25. People at this age are still in school. Judging from his temperament, he should not be here during this special period. I think he went abroad.
If it was as Ye Qian thought, Lawyer Quan explained: "I studied abroad and returned to China to develop my career. I studied law at that time, and after returning, I also studied law in China, so you don't have to worry about the professional issues."
"Yeah, I know."
Lawyer Quan was stunned. Seeing that Ye Qian really didn't seem to doubt her, he didn't think much about it.
Ye Qian explained the purpose of her visit: "I just want to draw up a contract. I'll bring someone to sign it tomorrow."
"no problem."
Ye Qian explained the situation between them and took out He Jun's contract for Lawyer Quan to refer to. "It's a contract similar to this one. It should be an entertainment company, so I guess I'll have to trouble you more often in the future."
Lawyer Quan smiled and immediately drafted a contract for Ye Qian. Ye Qian took a look at it, found no problem, and left.
"If there are no problems with this cooperation, I think we will cooperate frequently in the future."
"Then I'd like to thank you in advance."
The two shook hands and nodded, and Ye Qian left.
Lawyer Quan watched Ye Qian leave with her background and purpose, muttering softly, "What a pity."
The receptionist who happened to have just finished cleaning up the office heard this and asked casually, "What's a pity?"
After a long while, Lawyer Quan finally managed to utter, "I forgot to sign."
"Signature? Did you forget to sign the contract?" The girl at the front desk was confused. Their lawyer Quan was always meticulous in his work, so how could he make such a serious mistake? She panicked for a moment, put down the water cup in her hand, and was about to chase after him.
Lawyer Quan quickly stopped her and said, "It's not that the contract hasn't been signed."
The receptionist finally felt relieved and said to Lawyer Quan with a speechless look on her face, "Seriously, just be clear. I almost misunderstood you."
Lawyer Quan smiled and said, "She is the author of The Defense of Han City and the director of that film. It's a pity that she didn't ask for an autograph."
"What?" The receptionist shouted excitedly, "Is this true, Lawyer Quan? Are you sure?"
"How could I be wrong about this? She just said that, and her company wants to sign an artist and asked me to draft a contract."
Of course, the content of the contract cannot be disclosed, but it is still necessary for everyone to know what work the company does. Otherwise, if the people in the company don’t understand the company’s situation, it will be impossible to tell it to others.
The girl at the front desk got even more excited. "Oh, you shouldn't have stopped me. I should have asked for an autograph."
"I'll come again tomorrow and bring someone to sign the contract."
"I have to get a signature tomorrow. Lawyer Quan, you must help me."
The influence of a good work is so great. As a director, she can be liked by so many people. It shows that strength is still the key.
The next day.
Ye Qian brought Yan Chunxiu back to the law firm. As soon as they entered, they were greeted warmly by the receptionist. Ye Qian was a little uncomfortable. Of course, she didn't think much of it. Instead, she thought the law firm was struggling and couldn't pay salaries, and she happened to bring business to the firm.
The two came to Lawyer Quan's office and signed the contract. They first asked Lawyer Quan to explain the contents of the contract to Yan Chunxiu, and Ye Qian also explained that they were all signing 10-year contracts, and the same was true for He Jun. In fact, Lawyer Quan did not agree with the contract being signed for such a long time at first, as it made her feel like selling her body. However, the current situation is somewhat different from that of the future. People nowadays still want stable jobs and iron rice bowls, and it is best to work in a company until retirement, so they are willing to sign such a long contract.
Yan Chunxiu was naturally one of them. She happily signed the contract, and the contract stated that she would be given two leading female roles in the next 10 years.
Yan Chunxiu didn't ask why it was two films, but Ye Qian still had to explain, "The main reason for ordering two films is to take into account the actual situation. Although you are signed with our company, it is impossible for you to only shoot films for your own company. There are definitely many better scripts out there, and I don't want you to miss out. That's why I only signed you to two films that I will direct."
Note that she directed it, not wrote and directed it herself. It wasn't that Ye Qian was skimping on words, but she was also afraid she wouldn't have the time to write. The most important thing was that she didn't believe that after both of her films were released, no one would ask her to direct a film. That would mean she was really not that successful.
After signing the contract, Ye Qian didn't forget about the stage name. "Your name doesn't work. Let me give you a stage name."
"Stage name? Sure."
Ye Qian was secretly delighted. She had never thought that the old artist's name was chosen by her. Then she said seriously, "Let's call her Yan Ying."
It was still much better than Yan Chunxiu's. Yan Chunxiu did not object and she thought it sounded pretty good: "No problem."
"Then we'll just use this name for our promotions of Chronicles of the Lone Wolf. You should get used to it as soon as possible."
"Lone Wolf War Chronicles?"
"Yes, this is our female 2, which will be released in January next year."
As for whether the film would be released in Beijing, Ye Qian was really unsure, so she didn't continue.
Lawyer Quan was a little excited. "I'm a fan of yours, and so are my colleagues at the law firm. I was wondering if I could get your autograph."
"No problem," Ye Qian agreed happily.
Just as she finished speaking, Lawyer Quan took out her three novels from her drawer and handed them to her. Ye Qian took them in her hands and took a look at them: The Defense of Han City, The Lone Wolf War Chronicles, and Who is the Real Murderer? Haha, it seems that she is really a fan of the books.
Ye Qian signed her name to the three books in a casual manner, and then Lawyer Quan asked, "Your first two novels were about battles, but your third novel is a suspense novel. Are you planning to switch genres?"
Ye Qian nodded. "Indeed, no matter what it is, it still needs to cater to the market. During that special period, even if I could write other types of novels, they wouldn't necessarily be as effective as this series. But now everyone's life is peaceful, and everything is developing in a good direction. Naturally, tastes will be different. I originally wanted to test the waters with Who is the Real Murderer, but I didn't expect it to be so effective."
