Four hundred and thirtieth eight chapters reason to help
Mr. Liu's call took longer than expected. He contacted several people, but the person he spoke to went abroad and there is no definite answer yet.
He was not surprised that he went out for a while and came back to find that the people inside had reached a consensus that Zhou Ruoxuan was about to join Kiwi.
There are other artists' agreements in the computer, so it's impossible to copy them completely.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and Zhou Ruoxuan had not eaten yet. Qin Xiaobao ordered a takeaway for him. The two were chatting in the office, while Mr. Liu and Xiang Yang were modifying the terms of the contract outside.
Mr. Zhou was a gentle man and did not say any polite words. He only said that he would definitely work hard.
Qin Xiaobao smiled, Zhou Ruoxuan ate very deliciously, and put the rice into his mouth in bites. In less than five minutes, not a single grain of rice was left.
They also put away the trash and wiped the table clean with paper towels.
He is a meticulous person.
"Mr. Qin, why are you willing to help me?" After eating and drinking, he still asked the question in his heart.
"I can only say that I am not a qualified businessman, but I am barely a good person." Qin Xiaobao said seriously: "In this life, few people can always be successful and will encounter some setbacks. Three years ago, I was the same.
Of course, compared to Mr. Zhou, don’t be surprised if he pales into insignificance.”
"No, no."
"I was only twenty years old at that time. The company terminated the contract unilaterally. I had no money in my pocket and no place to stay." When Qin Xiaobao talks about it now, he is not sad, but he just finds it interesting.
"Life has to go on, so I thought about borrowing some money from a broker's assistant I knew before, but as a result, I hit a wall everywhere.
It was my sister who borrowed 6,000 yuan to get through the most difficult period.
It’s not much, six thousand, but it’s my sister’s entire fortune. She works in a pet shop.”
Zhou Ruoxuan said nothing and listened quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"As for me, I'm really lucky. Can you believe it? I met my brother by chance on a plane, and as a result, a movie with a box office of 800 million was released. It can be said that I am able to achieve my current achievements only because of everyone's help.
You are obviously at a low point in your life, I believe you can still come out even if I am not around."
Qin Xiaobao paused: "Actually, I heard that you should come to me first, looking for kiwi fruit.
I can only imagine how determined you were to go into the first eight brokerage companies, communicate with them, and endure those criticisms."
"Actually, it's okay." Zhou Ruoxuan smiled: "The fact that they are willing to talk to me at least proves that I am still valuable. Moreover, in the face of survival, what does face mean?"
Qin Xiaobao gently clapped his hands a few times: "That's right, I think a manly man does not have to be as hard as the steel, but the wisest thing to do is to be able to take it up and put it down.
You don’t have to put too much pressure on adding kiwi fruit.
Although our company is branded as an agency, our biggest business and income is still movies."
"Yeah, I know."
"To be precise, artists are here to help the company support the show." Qin Xiaobao was of course just talking nonsense. He had begged people before and knew what the other person was thinking. He helped him pay an eight-digit debt without much trouble. He was definitely not under any pressure.
Xiao, probably wanted to rip his heart out, but he didn't want to do this: "Don't feel pressured, the money is not lent to you in vain, the interest still has to be charged.
But since we are a family, it’s a bit vulgar to talk about money, so let’s just do this.
Next time I shoot something, if there is a suitable role, you can come and make a cameo and you won’t be paid. What do you think?”
Zhou Ruoxuan is not a fool, and of course he will not refuse. Before coming to Kiwi, he had learned that Qin Xiaobao is really awesome. Two movies have a box office of 2.7 billion. Anyone who casually walks out and stamps his feet while filming can make the entertainment industry tremble.
Moreover, this company is famous for being good to its own artists. Except for actors who have just joined recently, others will never miss Qin Xiaobao's works.
There are many people in the circle who want to join.
"It's a good thing Mr. Liu didn't get through to the phone. They took advantage of people's danger. You couldn't do anything before, but now you can legitimately seek justice."
"But director," Zhou Ruoxuan was a little worried: "I have already signed the contract. If I don't shoot, I will have to pay liquidated damages, five times the compensation."
Qin Xiaobao waved his hands indifferently: "Money is not the point. Since you are about to become an artist in our company, you must be concerned about two issues.
First, what is the quality of the work and whether it is good for you?
Second, is the remuneration reasonable?
The first point is, we have time to watch it. If it doesn’t work, we would rather not shoot it, because we have to think about your future. Many actors in the entertainment industry choose their works carelessly, and in the end they can only star in big movies."
The boss was right, Zhou Ruoxuan nodded.
"As for the salary, it's negotiable. As the second male lead, you have won so many awards. If the news spreads, the crew will only give you a salary of one million, haha..."
Qin Xiaobao did not continue, both of them understood.
For any work, it is not a good thing to blindly reduce the pay. It must be within a reasonable range, otherwise there will be various negative news such as financial constraints, stingy investors, etc., which will be detrimental to the work itself.
Reporters like this kind of news the most. Especially, Zhou Ruoxuan still gets a lot of sympathy from netizens.
If word of this gets out and a crew takes advantage of someone's situation and deliberately lowers the pay, you can imagine the pressure they will bear.
The reason why I just signed is that there was no one behind him.
Nowadays, Kiwi is Zhou Ruoxuan's supporter. Although the contract was signed before, the movie is still in preparation and has not officially started shooting, so there is nothing wrong with saying a few words.
Even if there is a real falling out, Kiwi does not need to stand up and confront, but directly find some reporters to reveal some "inside" information.
It is estimated that the other party will not be willing to see the losses caused.
Of course, this is the last resort. Negotiate, and you will know the result only after the negotiation.
However, there is definitely no need to panic now, the initiative can be regained.
The two chatted for more than an hour and went over all the situations.
Liu Minghua came back with a thick contract: "I suggest that Mr. Zhou find a professional lawyer to take a look."
"No!"
Under the surprised gazes of the three people, Zhou Ruoxuan signed and fingerprinted with a flurry of skill that made people feel distressed.
"Don't you take a look?" Qin Xiaobao wanted to stop him.
"I believe in you and our company." Zhou Ruoxuan showed the most relaxed smile he had seen today.
After the procedure was completed, Qin Xiaobao reached out and shook his hand again: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
“A pleasure to work with.”
"I'm leaving on the 3rd," Qin Xiaobao issued a mission: "Mr. Liu, please bring snacks to the signing ceremony. The day after tomorrow. It will be held the day after tomorrow. I will attend. Find more friends from the media reporters. The crew can wait until the press conference is over.
