Chapter 187: Sky-high Compensation
Wen Yu did not answer Li Gui's question directly.
The call was connected quickly.
Wen Yu didn't waste any time and directly called out the name of the person opposite him: "Song Shinian."
He deliberately turned on the speakerphone.
Li Gui, who was sitting opposite Wen Yu, turned noticeably pale when he heard the name "Song Shinian".
"Um?"
Song Shinian seemed to have not expected Wen Yu to call him at this time, and his tone was a little confused.
"The boss of Starlight Entertainment is unwilling to admit his mistake..."
Wen Yu's voice was tinged with sarcasm: "We don't need to save face for him, just send the recording directly..."
recording?
What recording?
Song Shinian looked confused when he received the call.
But Song Shinian knew that Wen Yu must have his own reasons for calling him at this time, so he cooperated and said, "Okay."
Wen Yu, who was concentrating on acting, silently gave Song Shinian a thumbs up in his heart.
It seems that Song Shinian is still very good at it...
He took over his role so quickly.
Because Wen Yu turned on the speakerphone, Li Gui was able to confirm that it was Song Shinian's voice.
"I'll use my main Weibo account to post..."
Song Shinian's voice was calm from beginning to end.
As we all know, "Song Shinian" and "Wen Yu" have been very popular recently. "Fu Jiangshan" and "The Realm of Drama" have achieved good results some time ago, and Song Shinian's number of Weibo fans has exceeded 90 million.
90 million fans...
Li Gui felt his scalp tingling whenever he thought of this number.
Wen Yu counted down silently in his heart.
3, 2...
Before they could even count to "1", Li Gui interrupted them: "Wait, don't send it yet..."
"It's too late."
Wen Yu sneered: "When I negotiated with you nicely before, you didn't listen. Now you want to stop me, your salary must be doubled."
"You...you are asking for a higher price?!"
Li Gui was extremely anxious.
"If you don't agree, forget it."
Wen Yu didn't plan to deal with Li Gui for too long. He whispered to Song Shinian, "Just send the recording out. I'll forward it later..."
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Li Gui couldn't afford the gamble.
Now that Starlight Entertainment has produced an artist with a long history of bad deeds like "Su Xingye", if what happened five years ago and the dirty deeds done by the senior executives of Starlight Entertainment over the years are exposed again, then Starlight Entertainment will have no chance of continuing to stay in the entertainment industry.
"Don't send it."
Li Guitun swallowed nervously and stopped him loudly, "We can discuss any conditions slowly..."
"Then have you agreed to my terms?"
Wen Yu smiled and raised an eyebrow.
“…I agreed.”
Li Gui said with gritted teeth.
He didn't expect Wen Yu and Song Shinian to be so cruel...
"Song Shinian."
Wen Yu was not surprised by Li Gui's reaction.
When he was at Starlight Entertainment, he earned at least tens of billions for the company. Even though Starlight Entertainment's development has been mediocre in recent years, "a lean camel is bigger than a horse." As the boss behind Starlight Entertainment, Li Gui's net worth is at least in the tens of figures.
"Um?"
Song Shinian agreed with a "hmm".
"Do you still remember the S+ script you gave away five years ago?"
Hearing this, Song Shinian had already guessed what Wen Yu was going to do.
It’s “recording”, “Starlight Entertainment Company”, and “s+ script” again. Is Wen Yu seeking justice for him?
Thinking of this, Song Shinian felt warm in his chest.
He cooperated and said "Remember".
"Then do you still remember the salary the director offered you?"
Without waiting for Song Shinian to answer, Wen Yu hurriedly added: "I remember your salary was about 30 million, right?"
Song Shinian's pay was not that high.
The director offered Song Shinian a salary of 15 million, which is considered top-tier in the entertainment industry.
Wen Yu immediately doubled the price for Song Shinian.
Song Shinian on the other end of the phone heard that Wen Yu was deliberately raising his price, so he pretended to be hesitant and said, "It seems... more than..."
Wen Yu: "?"
He underestimated Song Shinian.
Unexpectedly, Song Shinian was even bolder than him.
"How much is that?"
Wen Yu asked in a puzzled manner.
Song Shinian cooperated very well and said, "It seems to be 50 million..."
Fifty million doubled is one hundred million.
The pay went from eight figures to nine figures, and Li Gui's face instantly turned pale: "You...you guys..."
“Ahem…”
Looking at Li Gui's appearance, Wen Yu felt a rare sense of guilt.
He knew that pushing Li Gui into a corner might backfire, so he took a step back: "How about this, I'll give you a 30% discount, you only need to compensate Song Shinian 70 million..."
What do you mean by 70 million... “that’s” enough?
Does Wen Yu even know what 70 million means?!
Li Gui wanted to cry but had no tears.
Wen Yu seemed to have seen through Li Gui's thoughts. He chuckled and said, "I made more money for the company than this, didn't I?"
certainly.
As a top-tier artist who became famous as soon as he debuted, Wen Yu has been making money for Star Entertainment since the day he debuted.
A talented newcomer who dominated the Golden Melody Awards at the age of seventeen, a monster newcomer who swept the three major awards at the age of twenty, a miracle born for the stage... Any one of these titles would shock the entertainment industry.
"But... 70 million..."
Li Gui was still a little hesitant: "It's really too much."
"I don't have that much patience to waste time with you."
Wen Yu made a "three" gesture towards Li Gui and said, "I'll give you thirty seconds at most. Song Shinian has already edited the text. If you don't agree within these thirty seconds, I'll have him send this recording out..."
Song Shinian said "Okay" in cooperation.
Looking at the two of them singing in unison, Li Gui felt bitter in his heart.
Why had he listened to the advice of those idiotic higher-ups back then? Isn't the most important thing for a dead person to be buried in peace? Isn't it all over now? The boomerang from five years ago has finally hit Li Gui himself.
Li Gui cursed countless times in his heart.
And Wen Yu has already started the countdown.
"30, 29, 28, 27, 26..."
Li Gui's face became paler and paler.
When Wen Yu's countdown reached "5", he finally couldn't bear the pressure from Wen Yu anymore: "I agree to compensate Song Shinian 70 million...but can the first clause be cancelled?"
Li Gui has to keep one of his face and money, right?
In fact, 70 million was far beyond Wen Yu's expectations.
Wen Yu's plan is to get 30 million from Li Gui.
After all, filming an S+ script requires a lot of energy, and what he is doing now is equivalent to Song Shinian doing nothing in these years and painlessly earning 70 million...
