Chapter 132 This is a great blessing (Ch 132)

Manager Zhao stopped talking and looked at Mr. Zhao. His meaning was very clear.

Now it’s time to negotiate terms. You should do it, boss. I can’t make the decision.

Zhao Ruorao looked at Qi Jia and saw that after hearing the conditions offered by the company, there was no trace of joy on his face.

I sighed in my heart, it seems that this time the discussion will be difficult.

“Don’t worry, there is no gambling agreement. You don’t need to do anything. Just sign a new contract with the company.”

Zhao Ruorao said with a smile, his tone calm and nonchalant, as if this was really a benefit that he had picked up for free.

“Mr. Zhao should have brought the contract with him, can I take a look at it first?”

Qi Jia did not comment on her words, and then said,

“Of course, take a look first. If you are not satisfied with anything, we can talk about it again.”

Zhao Ruorao picked up a contract that was slightly thicker than a one-yuan coin from the table and handed it to Qi Jia.

Qi Jia took it with both hands, said thank you, and then opened it and read it carefully.

Seeing his serious look, Manager Zhao and Zhao Ruorao looked at each other, and both saw worry in each other’s eyes.

Qi Jia ignored them and just watched.

First of all, regarding the salary, it was pretty much the same as what Manager Zhao said, so I just glanced at it briefly.

But when he saw it was divided into this part, Qi Jia was surprised.

“Within five years from the date of signing of the contract, the economic benefits obtained from all business activities carried out by Party B during the period of Party A’s company will be 50% each.

After five years, the profit sharing ratio will be changed to Party B accounting for 70% and Party A accounting for 30%…”

Qi Jia silently calculated in his mind that in recent years, as overseas hot money flowed into China, a large part of it flowed into real estate.

Some of them have also flowed into the entertainment industry, so the value of celebrities has been increasing in recent years.

The pay of first-line artists generally reaches more than 10 million.

Top stars like Huang Bo and Yang Mi can earn tens of millions for a movie.

What’s more, the pay of some popular young actors has reached 100 million!

Although we cannot rule out the possibility that some of the capital may be transferred from one hand to the other, the terrifying pay of first-line artists can be seen!

As his status and popularity continue to grow, I believe that within two years, his net worth will reach over 10 million.

This is just about filming movies, not to mention variety shows and advertising endorsements, these two Tauruses!

Spend 50 million to let yourself sign a new contract, and then split the profits 50-50 within five years.

By this calculation, the company will recoup its investment in two years at most. Not only will it not lose money, it will actually make a huge profit!

Even if I don’t sign this contract, according to the original contract, after I’m promoted to the front line,

The company must also renegotiate the profit sharing with him, otherwise it will be a breach of contract and Qi Jia has the right to terminate the contract directly.

So he couldn’t understand, was the company’s profit sharing calculated using their feet?

Qi Jia suppressed his doubts and continued to read on.

Among the rights and obligations of Party B, he finally found the one Chen Yuwen mentioned.

“Within thirty years from the date of signing of this contract, Party B shall not leave Party A’s company for any reason…”

In addition, there is another one below, which hurts Qi Jia’s eyes even more.

“In order to regulate the legality of Party B’s business activities, during the performance period, all Party B’s business activities,

Negotiation with Party A is required and the process can only be carried out after both parties reach a consensus.

In addition, Party B shall not refuse to participate in the legal and compliant business activities arranged by Party A under any pretext.

Including but not limited to the endorsements, film and television works, variety shows, etc. that Party A customized for Party B…”

There is no need to look at the rest. Just based on these two points, Qi Jia has already rejected this contract in his heart.

Seeing him put down the contract, Manager Zhao took out a pen with a smile, put it in front of Qi Jia, and said,

“Qi Jia, you have read the contract. If there is no problem, why don’t we sign it now?

Look, I have my pen ready. I went to the God of Wealth Temple to have it blessed. It’s a good omen~”

Qi Jia was a little impressed by Manager Zhao’s foolishness. He picked up the pen, turned it in his hand, and said,

“Boss Zhao, I came from Hengdian, I am used to being free and undisciplined, I can’t stand too much restriction,

Besides, I remember when I first signed with Jiaxing, there was a clause in the contract that stated,

The company shall not interfere with my filming and other business activities unless I violate the law or damage the company’s interests.

Otherwise, the company would have breached the contract first. I think I remember this correctly, Manager Zhao?”

After Qi Jia finished speaking, Zhao Ruorao immediately looked at Manager Zhao who was standing beside him.

“There is one thing for sure.”

After Manager Zhao finished speaking, he saw the president’s murderous look and immediately added,

“But there is another paragraph later, which is that you must also obey the legal business activities arranged by the company, including but not limited to filming.”

“Yes, so I accepted the Pillow Book funded by the company.”

Qi Jia did not deny it, nodded, and continued,

“But now the new contract has restricted my freedom. I need the company’s approval for any role I take, which is hard for me to accept.”

Hearing this, Manager Zhao fell silent and looked at Zhao Ruorao.

“Haha, Qi Jia, you misunderstood. The company is not restricting you, but is trying to better concentrate resources on promoting you.

At that time, the company will set up a special artist team for you, responsible for tailoring scripts, variety shows and advertising endorsements for you.

This way you can concentrate on filming and don’t have to run around for auditions or reviewing scripts. This is a good thing for you!”

Tsk tsk, he is the boss, look at what he said.

It’s obvious that you want to keep things under control, but you insist on saying that it’s all for your own good.

Compared with other people’s level, Manager Zhao needs to practice more!

Qi Jia looked at Manager Zhao who was nodding beside him with some emotion, and thought to himself,

If you really believed her lies and signed the contract,

From now on, when Qi Jia joins a film crew, it will not be based on the script or the cast.

It depends on who pays more. Anyway, the capital doesn’t care whether your reputation is good or bad, as long as you can make money.

When your reputation is ruined and the audience doesn’t buy it, why don’t you just find someone else to support you?

Isn’t this how Yang Mi’s reputation has been ruined in the past three years? In order to complete the gambling agreement,

Take any script, any endorsement, any variety show, as long as it’s not illegal and the pay is enough, that’s fine!

To the extent that, the audience later called her the “Queen of Bad Movies”, which can be fatal for an artist!

Not taking Zhao Ruorao’s words to heart, Qi Jia took a pen and pointed at the script, saying,

“Also, I have no plans to extend the validity period of the contract.”

As soon as these words came out, the whole conference room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

This is the most important clause in the contract. If Qi Jia disagrees, it would be better not to sign the contract.

Zhao Ruorao no longer had that calm and composed look on his face.

She frowned and tapped her fingers on the table, as if she was thinking, and didn’t speak for a while.

The atmosphere was so awkward, and after a while,

Manager Zhao saw that the atmosphere was a little tense, so he rubbed his hands and said,

“Qi Jia, don’t refuse directly. In fact, the company has extended your contract to 30 years, which is a great thing for you!”

As soon as these words came out, not only Qi Jia, but even Zhao Ruorao who was thinking raised his head and looked at Manager Zhao in confusion.

She was full of curiosity and couldn’t wait to listen.

How could Manager Zhao say that something was such a great thing when even she couldn’t convince herself?
