HuaYu: Superstars Starting from Super Star Avenue

Chapter 33 Why don't I just give you the company shares too?

Lin Mo, we must win him over!

Just then, there was a knocking sound at the office door.

Lin Mo turned his head and saw that it was Wang Dongcheng who had entered.

He was somewhat surprised to see Lin Mo there as well.

"Hey? Lin Mo, what are you doing here?"

He sensed the somewhat tense atmosphere in the office, and seeing Chai Zhiping sitting silently with a slight frown, he quickly suppressed his smile and politely greeted her:

"Sister Chai, you were looking for me?"

Chai Zhiping gestured for him to sit down.

Wang Dongcheng obediently sat down, not daring to utter a sound.

Chai Zhiping looked at Lin Mo again, remained silent for a long time, and finally spoke:

"I want this script; Comic Productions will produce this movie."

She stared intently at Lin Mo:

"Are you willing to sign with Comic? I've already inquired about the contract terms HIM International Music offered you."

"How about I give you double the salary on your new contract?"

As she spoke, she opened a drawer, took out a contract that had been prepared in advance, and pushed it in front of Lin Mo.

"The revenue split is 60/40, with the company taking 40% and you taking 60%."

For a newcomer just starting out, this ratio is already quite good.

Furthermore, the profit-sharing ratio can be adjusted gradually later.

In any era, offering double the benefits to a newcomer who hasn't even officially debuted is almost unprecedented.

That's more than enough sincerity.

Wang Dongcheng, who was listening nearby, was stunned and his mouth was slightly open.

60/40 split? Newcomer?

When he signed with Comic Productions, it was a standard 30/70 split – 70% to the company and 30% to him.

Last year, Angie Chai saw that he was performing well, so she adjusted his performance to 60/40.

This alone was enough to make him extremely grateful.

Lin Mo, a newcomer who hasn't even officially debuted yet, is already getting a 60/40 split right off the bat?

The contrast is... too stark.

After Chai Zhiping finished speaking, she looked at Wang Dongcheng, her meaning quite clear—

You come forward and demonstrate the company's sincerity.

Wang Dongcheng immediately understood and quickly said:

"Yes, Lin Mo, my new employee contract was a 30/70 split, with me getting 30% and the company getting 70%."

Last year, Sister Chai adjusted it for me, and it became 60/40, just like yours..."

He spoke sincerely, wanting Lin Mo to feel Chai Zhiping's kind and benevolent heart.

But Lin Mo looked at him with a slightly sympathetic gaze.

This is not related to the contract.

Wang Dongcheng can be said to be the only one in Fahrenheit who worked his way up from the bottom.

She signed with a record company in 99 but only debuted in 05, so she didn't have many options.

Sympathy is mainly because...

Angie Chai's comparison is too painful.

Will Wang Dongcheng, this sunny and cheerful young man, become withdrawn after hearing Lin Mo's contract terms?

But Wang Dongcheng didn't seem to think that much about it and was still trying his best to help.

Lin Mo withdrew his gaze, turned to Chai Zhiping, and spoke calmly:

"Sister Chai, there's a significant difference between an agency contract and a commission contract."

"Moreover, in this industry, many promises simply cannot be written into the contract, even profit sharing..."

He picked up the contract and expertly flipped to a particular clause:

"For example, the initial training costs and the company's profit needs are not clearly stated in the contract."

"But these costs will probably all be passed on to the artists' share, right?"

Oops, this is bad!

We've met someone who really knows their stuff!

Angie Chai's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly regretted calling Wang Dongcheng to help.

She heard that Jiro Wang and Lin Mo had the best relationship on the set of "The Ultimate Family", and thought of having him play the role of a "living guy".

But now?

After Lin Mo gave him this "legal education," Wang Dongcheng's originally clear and foolish eyes brightened up considerably!

"So there are so many tricks to it..." Wang Dongcheng muttered to himself, his expression thoughtful.

He really didn't know these details before.

Moreover, these kinds of accounts are indeed difficult to calculate; sometimes it really comes down to what the company says.

Chai Zhiping looked at Lin Mo, and for the first time, a genuine look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

It wasn't because of his talent for songwriting or screenwriting.

It's not because of his age-appropriate industry knowledge and legal awareness, but because of his understanding of the industry and his awareness of the law.

"You..." Chai Zhiping looked intently at Lin Mo, "It seems you've done a lot of homework."

Lin Mo smiled and stopped trying to hide it.

He stood up and walked to Angie Chai's desk:

"Sister Chai, may I use the computer for a moment?"

Chai Zhiping nodded in confusion.

Lin Mo typed a URL into the computer, pressed enter, and then spoke to Chai Zhiping:

"These are my results from the bar exam I passed last week. Not bad, right?"

On the screen is a query page for the judicial examination in a certain province.

Name: Lin Mo.

Admission ticket number: XXXX.

Grade: Pass.

......

Angie Chai's first reaction was—fake image? Photo-edited?

But after checking the website address, it was indeed the official query website.

As the owner of an entertainment company, she deals with lawyers quite often.

Comic has a lot of legal and miscellaneous matters to handle right now.

It was precisely because she understood it that she found it outrageous.

Why would a celebrity like you take this exam?

To collect evidence after signing with a company?

Then, when disagreements arose with the company...

At this moment, Wang Dongcheng also curiously came over and saw the screen, exclaiming:

"Wow! Lin Mo, you really passed the exam? That's awesome!"

Chai Zhiping looked at Wang Dongcheng with a puzzled expression:

"Did you know he was taking this exam?"

"I know!" Wang Dongcheng nodded.

"Lin Mo left the film crew early last time to go back to the mainland to take an exam. We even said he was joking because his career change was too outrageous..."

Angie Chai: "..."

She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

He thought to himself: You unlucky kid, why didn't you say so sooner?

If Wang Dongcheng knew what Chai Zhiping was thinking, he would definitely cry foul.

Sister Chai, you didn't ask either!

Angie Chai adjusted her breathing and a smile returned to her face:

"Lin Mo, you've given me another surprise."

"I never imagined you could get a certificate while acting and competing. You're really... multi-talented."

That was a genuine statement.

She had even figured out how sophisticated and distinctive Lin Mo's natural "academic genius artist" persona would be in the entertainment industry.

But Lin Mo's next words surprised Chai Zhiping once again.

"Sister Chai, I think you're a really nice person. I have an idea, so I'll just tell you directly."
