I glanced at Pei Xiaoxing, and she was looking at me. We understood each other instantly and found that we had the same idea.
I asked her agent: "How much is the penalty? Are there any other disputes?"
"There are no other disputes, except that the man may be dissatisfied with her and deliberately spread rumors and slander. There is nothing else. But don't worry, we have evidence that he sexually harassed my artist. If it weren't for the fact that he is a public figure and has a huge impact and is difficult to make public, we would have taken legal action long ago."
"As for the penalty," her agent hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "Three hundred thousand."
300,000 is not a small sum nowadays. She was promoted to a third-tier artist after filming our TV series. She was probably just a small-time celebrity before. The penalty for breach of contract is 300,000, so I don’t know how much other artists will have to pay.
However, 300,000 is really nothing for our company now. When we think about the profits from that drama, they will only increase in the future.
The money we make won't stop until the market is saturated.
Pei Xiaoxing and I made eye contact. Our long-standing tacit understanding allowed us to understand each other's meaning with just a glance.
Seeing that we didn't say anything, her agent said, "Don't worry, although the 300,000 is my artist's penalty for breach of contract, we have our own team. Her agent, her assistant, her entire team, you don't need to worry about it, and she will pay her own salary, so the company doesn't need to pay for it."
In other words, the 300,000 yuan was not just the payment for her breach of contract, but the money to buy her entire team.
This is even more cost-effective.
I made the decision on the spot, "Okay, we'll pay the penalty, but you have to sign a contract with us. The contract period is at least 10 years. The company's resources will be focused on you in the first few years, and we will also focus on training you to be a first-line star. In the next few years, you have to sell yourself to us and help us train new people."
My words hit the female artist on the head like pie in the sky.
Her tears, which had just stopped, began to flow again. At this moment, I felt like a soft-hearted god.
We only talked about this for a short while, but the follow-up was quite a hassle for a while.
Two months later, this artist named Wei Xue and her entire team were recruited by our company.
At this time, the director who had asked us to shoot a TV series before came to us again. He said that among the new actors who had filmed the movie before, there were several good ones, so he came to ask me for some people.
Although he mentioned several, we just know that he was referring to the third brother. It would be unforgivable if the third brother didn't become popular!
In addition to the third sister playing the role of the No. 1 female, we also gave Wei Xue the role of the No. 2 female. Fortunately, the director had a good impression of Wei Xue, and Wei Xue was a conscientious person, so she successfully got the role after the interview.
It was not until the list of the second drama was announced that we discovered that the male actor who had sexually harassed Wei Xue many times before would play Wei Xue's old lover in the drama this time, and there would be some intimate scenes.
Wei Xue's agent was a little anxious, but with many years of experience as an agent, she still looked very calm on the surface.
She thought of several suggestions, one of which was to quit the role to the director on the grounds of poor health.
I rejected it.
"This is the second female role. With Wei Xue's current popularity, how long do you think it will take for her to get the second female role in such a big production? Is she worthy of it now? This is a good opportunity, we must seize it. As for the man, leave it to us."
Although I have never dealt with such a thing, I have seen pigs run even if I haven't eaten pork.
Let me think, who else could be the best at handling this kind of thing other than my uncle Gouzi, who is not my real uncle but is like my real uncle?
There's no way he wouldn't help me. It was I who helped him get his wife.
So as soon as I called him, he flew over without saying a word. After listening to me tell the whole story, he slumped down on the sofa as if he had no bones.
"Is that all? Little Star, your uncle's time is very precious. Do you need to ask him for such a small matter? Since I'm already here, I'll help you deal with it first. I'll give you a call later. If you have any questions in this regard, just go to him directly."
I have never doubted his methods, although my mother has always emphasized to him that he should be honest, but how can a businessman be completely honest?
It only took Uncle Gouzi three days to collect all the heinous crimes committed by the male artist and put them all in front of me.
"Do you want to ruin his reputation, or do you just want him to not be in the show? If it's the former, I suggest you not use your or your company's identity to anonymously find a newspaper and spread the news about his deeds."
"But if it's just the latter, aren't you familiar with the director? Just put all this in front of the director and tell him that this actor has bad personal ethics. If he participates in this drama, all the actresses in your company will withdraw."
I have to say, it has to be my uncle Gouzi.
I smiled at him and said coquettishly, "Uncle, you don't understand this, right? Adults make choices, I'm still a child, so I want both of these!"
"Okay, okay, I won't get involved later. I've wasted three days here with you. Xiao Xinxin, do you know how much you can earn by saving me in three days?"
I pushed him out the door without saying anything. "I know, I know. Go away now and show my aunt a good example. I won't come to you if I have something to do in the future. Okay?"
