How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 150: Sacrificing Oneself for Justice
The crowd quickly dispersed. Zhang Wen just sat down when he suddenly thought of something very important. He walked into the training department, took out his cell phone, and dialed the number of the leg expert.

“Beep…beep…ka!”

Soon, the call was connected.

"Hello, are you in the company?" Zhang Wen asked directly.

"Here, what's the matter?"

"If I have something to say, I'll go to your office and we can have a face-to-face meeting." Zhang Wen hung up the phone and turned to walk towards the elevator.

Gao Yue looked at the hung up phone with a hint of confusion in her eyes. What couldn't be said over the phone? Why did she have to have a face-to-face conversation?
Apart from Grandpa and Tang Yi, there seemed to be nothing else to talk about between the two of them.

Grandpa is now eating well, sleeping well, and in good spirits, and Tang Yi's work schedule is also full. What else is there to talk about?

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Just as Gao Yue was about to speak, the door was pushed open from the outside.

"Crack!"

Zhang Wen closed the door and locked it from the inside.

Gao Yue frowned slightly, her eyes showing three parts shyness and seven parts vigilance. "You, why did you lock the door? Open it quickly."

There were many people outside and those who didn't know might think that the two of them were doing something shameful in the room.

Zhang Wen ignored the leg-spotting girl's request and went straight to sit down opposite her. He looked at the woman and said, "Help me draft an artist management contract."

"what?"

Gao Yue was stunned and for a moment wondered if he had heard it wrong.

An artist agency contract is a contract reached between a company or agent and an artist, aimed at assisting the artist in handling work related to performing arts activities, including career planning, transaction negotiations, rights protection litigation, etc.

If a company wants to sign an artist, it will usually be through an agent. However, the other party is a teacher in the training department. What is the purpose of having an artist agency contract?
She stared at the man's face for a long time, and after seeing his serious expression, she was sure that she was not mistaken.

"What do you want an artist management contract for?" Gao Yue asked puzzledly.

"You're asking like an amateur. I want an artist agency contract, so of course I want to sign an artist." Zhang Wen said naturally.

"It is our agency that is responsible for signing artists. How can you, a training teacher, sign them?" Gao Yue said dissatisfiedly.

To put it nicely, this kind of behavior is called overstepping one's authority, and to put it bluntly, it is meddling in other people's business.

If anyone can sign an agency contract, what is the purpose of their artist agency department?
"Didn't I understand what I just said?" Zhang Wen leaned forward, staring intently at the leg-stunner, and said word by word: "I want to sign the artist, not the company."

Gao Yue was slightly stunned, and at this moment he finally understood what the other party meant, but he was still shocked.

"Are you crazy?"

"what do you say?"

"I think you're crazy," Gao Yue said sternly. "Why are you being an artist manager if you don't just focus on being a teacher? Do you understand publicity? Do you understand contracts? Do you understand protecting your rights?"

Zhang Wen blinked and said with a smile: "Isn't this you?"

"Me? Stop dreaming. I won't help you do such a thing. You are betraying my own people." Gao Yue said angrily.

"I didn't want to, but I was forced to do it." Zhang Wen spread his hands with an innocent look on his face.

"what?"

"Look, when I was taking people to an audition today, I met a very talented actress. She doesn't have an agent or an agency. I wanted to recommend her to Tianxi Media, but guess what she said?"

"What do you mean?" Gao Yue asked curiously.

"She said she had been hurt by Liu Heng from Tianxi Media's artist management department and didn't want to sign with Tianxi Media."

Next, Zhang Wen recounted the conversation between him and Du Wenjuan verbatim without adding any embellishment, because what Liu Heng had done was so dirty and shameless that there was no need to add any more details.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Gao Yue's face immediately darkened and looked visibly ugly.

In fact, she had heard that Liu Heng had an affair with the female artists under him, but she didn't expect that the other party would use such despicable means to sign new people.

The purpose of an agent recommending new people to a company is to help the company discover talent and add fresh blood to the company. Once personal interests are mixed in and it becomes a means of seeking personal gain, it will seriously damage the interests of the company.

As Zhang Wen spoke, he observed the expression of the leg spirit. Seeing that he was very angry and his fists were clenched, he immediately knew that the time was almost right, so he made his final statement.

"I don't want an actress like this to become our competitor, so I decided to sign her as an individual and slowly influence her. Once she becomes somewhat famous, I'll have her sign a contract with our company."

Zhang Wen's final move directly elevated the whole thing to a higher level.

Everything he did was not for personal gain, but for the benefit of the company.

That's right, he's not doing it for himself, so who can say he's a traitor? After hearing this, Gao Yue's expression improved a lot, but he became curious about this actress.

What kind of person could make the man opposite want to sign a contract and even worry about being snatched away by other companies?
Is it possible to grow up like a fairy?

and many more!

Gao Yue suddenly narrowed her eyes, looked at the man suspiciously, and asked, "Did you think this actress was beautiful, so you had some bad thoughts about her?"

Zhang Wen's face suddenly turned stern upon hearing this. "Hey, is this really who I am in your mind? I've been in the company for so long, and there have been women throwing themselves at me. When have I ever had any problems in this regard?"

Gao Yue was stunned. After thinking carefully, she realized that the other party had never had any problems with men and women. The only time she had heard about it was a scandal between him and her.

Zhang Wen pretended to be impatient and asked, "Will you help me? Just tell me straight up. If you don't want to do it, I'll find someone else."

Gao Yue came back to his senses, and all the doubts in his heart dissipated at this moment. He nodded and said, "Help, isn't it just an artist management contract? I have a contract template here. You can take it back and print a copy. Just write the names of both parties on it."

"Okay, but please add a few more in there for me," said Zhang Wen.

"Wait." Gao Yue turned on the computer, found the contract template, and then looked at the man, "Go ahead."

Zhang Wen thought for a moment and said, "Agents are not allowed to interfere with the artist's private life. Scripts and commercial activities are decided by the artist, and agents are not allowed to make decisions on their own. If the agent violates any of these rules, the artist can terminate the contract without compensation..."

Gao Yue typed a few words before suddenly stopping and asking with a look of concern for a fool, "Are you sure you want to include these details in the agency contract?"

"Yes."

"Are you going for the job of being an artist or doing charity? This contract does not benefit you at all. The artist can even kick you out at any time after becoming famous without paying any price. I think you should think about it carefully." Gao Yue said seriously.

She has been working in this industry for six years, and this is the first time she has seen such an unequal contract for agents. It is simply a dog-licking contract.

"It's okay, just write it like this." Zhang Wen said seriously: "I am doing this to influence her, to make up for the harm Liu Heng has done to her, and for the reputation of the company. All of this is worth it."

Gao Yue was stunned by these powerful words.

Is the other party planning to sacrifice his small self for the greater self?

At this moment, she felt that the other person's image had become taller and there seemed to be light on his body.

Since the other party was willing to sacrifice his life for justice, how could she be a stumbling block on the road to justice? So she immediately filled in the few unfinished clauses in the agreement.

After typing these terms, she modified a few more unfair clauses to make the entire contract look full of sincerity, and there is absolutely no other contract like it in the entertainment industry.

"Here." Gao Yue printed out the agency contract and handed it to the man sitting opposite. "Take a look. If there's anything wrong, I'll revise it."

Zhang Wen took it and took a look at it, then took a normal version for comparison. After looking at it repeatedly, he finally nodded with satisfaction.

"I'll take both copies. If she's not satisfied with anything, I'll mark them down and come back to you. Thank you." After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait." Gao Yue suddenly thought of something and asked doubtfully, "Even if you sign her, how will you help her get roles in the future? Do you have the resources for that?"

When an actor signs with a company, the company will provide them with opportunities. But if an actor signs with an individual, unless that person has a strong background or a lot of resources, then…why would an actor sign with an individual? Wouldn't that just delay their career?

Taking the contract just drafted as an example, if the other party is unable to provide resources to the actress, the actress can leave on her own at any time. How can you influence people if you can't even keep them?

In the past, people from Tianxi Media were regarded as gangsters. Now with this incident, wouldn’t people from Tianxi Media have another title of liars?

"Yes!" said Zhang Wen.

"Yes? Where did you get the resources?" Gao Yue asked. The other party used to be an art exam teacher and is now a trainee training teacher. He doesn't seem to have any connection with TV stations, film and television companies, video giants, or well-known companies.

"Director Xu will eventually hand over the resources the company gives to the training department to me for distribution. If there is a suitable one, I will introduce it to Du Wenjuan." Zhang Wen explained.

"Isn't this unfair to the company's trainees?" Gao Yue originally wanted to say that the other party was abusing his power for personal gain, but when he thought about the fact that the other party was recruiting talents for the company, he held it back.

"Don't worry, I won't touch resources like participating in the show. I will only leave audition opportunities like today's that require everyone to fight for to Du Wenjuan." Zhang Wen said.

Gao Yue understood.

Rather than saying that the other party is providing Du Wenjuan with resources, it is better to say that the other party is providing Du Wenjuan with opportunities. Anyway, there are more actors than just Tianxi Media who are participating in the audition. Everyone is competing together, and whoever wins in the end will get it.

"Let me meet this actress if I have the chance," Gao Yue said.

"Okay, Agent Gao has extensive connections and abundant resources in the entertainment industry. Don't forget to take care of me in the future. We are all doing this for the company." Zhang Wen said with a smile.

Gao Yue raised her eyebrows slightly.

Why does it feel like someone is targeting her when he says this?
