When Liu Xiaoli first heard Wu Mingxuan's words, she was really happy. She didn't expect it was really their Yifei. But when she saw the contract, she couldn't be happy at all.
Because this is not a normal film and television drama contract at all, but an agency contract, which is almost a super long contract of indenture.
"Ten years! This is too exaggerated. It's just a female lead. We can't agree to it. Yifei, don't read it for now."
Liu Xiaoli put down the contract in her hand and stopped her daughter from reading it. Now she is 20 years old. If she really likes the show, she can kick her mother out and sign the contract on her own.
"First of all, this is a very large series. The reason why I chose Yifei is because she is of the right age. Ten years is not bad. She just turned 20. In ten years, she will be 30, which is the best time for a female star. It is very suitable to open a studio at that time. Now is too early and it will only have a counterproductive effect.
Talk about the reason why I am unwilling to sign the contract. Although the time is a bit long, this is a guaranteed contract with many guarantees and benefits, and the more you go to the back, the better the guarantee. The higher the barrier, starting from the sixth year, the guaranteed income during the contract period is 100 million, and in the last two years it has exceeded 200 million. Could anyone offer a better contract than the one I offer?"
At this time, people did not know how exaggerated the pay would be in the future, and how easy it would be to make money as a popular star, so Wu Mingxuan's guarantee contract was definitely very lethal. If he did not agree to it, he could only accept it. He could not force it directly, right?
If he was just a star, Wu Mingxuan's guarantee contract was indeed good. The guaranteed income for ten years would exceed 1 billion. Similarly, the penalty for breach of contract was also terrifyingly high, a full 1.5 billion, an absolutely sky-high price for a contract of sale. It was impossible for anyone to pay money to redeem their daughter.
At the same time, once such a contract is signed, as long as Wu Mingxuan has evil intentions, his daughter will completely become his plaything and tool. If she cooperates, he will give her money and let her earn more; if she does not cooperate, he will put her on the bench and make her do dirty and tiring work, and put pressure on her physically and mentally to force her to submit.
This is not because Liu Xiaoli thinks too badly of people, but many brokerage companies in Japan and South Korea do the same, but the benefits of this contract are not as good.
If they really sell their daughter, this contract is indeed good, and Liu Xiaoli can definitely make a lot of money, but she is a mother after all, and she doesn't really want to push her daughter into the fire pit.
"Is it not possible to just accept the role? We can sign a title contract, and we can sign a very low contract for the salary and other aspects."
"This movie cost nearly 800 million yuan to make, with so many superstars starring in the film. Does it make sense to sell it at a low price? If this role is really to be sold, how much can I get for it? This is not about money. I, Wu Mingxuan, have plenty of money.
In the end, I think talent is hard to come by. I've paid attention to Yifei before and I think she has great potential, but her upbringing, as well as you and Mr. Chen, who are unprofessional agents, have made her unpopular. It is a burden.
I think you should have felt it, Sister Liu, that President Chen is no longer of any help to you and your daughter. He can't give you what you want, and you don't want to give him what he wants. Is it meaningful to drag it on like this? It is better to take this opportunity to end it all. "
Liu Xiaoli looked at Wu Mingxuan in surprise, and then tried her best to cover up: "I don't know what you are talking about. My daughter Xixi and I are living well now."
"A man took in a single mother with a daughter for no reason, treated her daughter better than his own children, spent millions to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her, and even named the newly built apartment after one of his and his goddaughter's characters, "Jin Fei Apartment". Do you believe this?"
Liu Xiaoli certainly didn't believe it. She just had a lucky mentality, but as her daughter grew older and more beautiful, she had to face these very realistic problems. Wasn't the lack of filming in the past two years a kind of resistance and game?
Liu Yifei's nickname is "Liu Mutou" because in the early days, many people in the circle saw her as a puppet controlled by Liu Xiaoli. She had no control over many things and couldn't even make decisions. This is why many people in the circle sympathized with her.
But Wu Mingxuan didn't see it that way. Instead, he thought she was very smart. Since there was no choice in many things, it was better to choose a way of life that made her happier. Why should she act smart? The ones who really suffered losses were always the smart ones. As
the saying goes, fools have good fortune. "Let me put it this way. If you think I'm reliable and have the ability, then sign a contract, recognize me as your godfather, and get rid of that guy. It's just about becoming famous and making more money. It's very easy for me.
You and your daughter will follow him. You will have fame, but how much money will you make?
I can give you 30 million in signing fees alone. Once you come in, you can get a movie with an investment of nearly 800 million yuan. If the movie sells well later, it will be well received worldwide. With a box office of several billion, are you still worried about not making any money?
The guarantee is just a psychological comfort. I don't plan to really pay this money, and you can't really rely on the guarantee to maintain it, right? So the actual income starts at 1 billion, or even 2 billion or 3 billion. Wouldn't it be great to be a rich man in the future? "
Liu Xiaoli thought about it and felt that what Wu Mingxuan said made sense. Such a generous indenture would naturally not be just for sleeping with women. In essence, he still wanted to make money.
As for the means of making money, in addition to those she just thought of, there are naturally serious ways to make money. If you really want to promote a big star, it is indeed very profitable.
Wu Mingxuan knew from Liu Xiaoli's reaction that she was already tempted. In the end, the old man would get the money anyway, so it would be better to get it for himself. If Liu Yifei is well trained, it would not be difficult to make 1 billion. Even after she becomes famous in the international market next year, her endorsement income alone would be more than 100 million.
Wu Mingxuan was very patient and was analyzing Liu Xiaoli's psychological changes. However, what surprised him the most was Liu Yifei. It was just as he guessed. This girl was actually very smart. She was just pretending to be stupid, or she was giving up on herself.
"Xixi, you can read the script first. It's okay. See if you like it. If you don't like it, I can arrange for you to star in my eldest brother's "Chinese Zodiac". The movie will start shooting next summer."
Liu Xiaoli was originally thinking that if the movie failed, she would be the one to suffer. Suddenly, she realized that Wu Mingxuan did not only have this one chance. Others now have a lot of magical resources in their hands. Any one they throw out will be a king bomb. There is no need to worry about not being able to turn over after a failure.
