Entertainment News: Follow Wang Baoqiang's Rise to Film Emperor

"Don't flatter me..."

Wang Jinghua smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Your suggestion is not suitable for large-scale implementation at the moment!"

"You know, if I spearhead this subcontracting model, I'll definitely face widespread criticism from those who have already benefited in the industry!"

Whether we can hold on... withstand the pressure... is still unknown; everything is uncertain!

"so……"

"Right now, we can only try signing a contract with you first."

"If it is indeed feasible... both sides will benefit, and it can then be promoted on a large scale."

"As the first artist to sign a contract under the new model... remember that this must be kept secret for now, and cannot be leaked."

"I will announce it when the time is right."

"Do you have any other questions?"

That's all.

Wang Jinghua then stared intently at Lin Zhi.

"Uh~"

"And how is the profit sharing calculated?"

Lin Zhi leaned forward slightly, turned his gaze, and asked.

Wang Jinghua hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, "I originally planned to take 30%!"

"But those are full contracts, and the contract periods are quite long, at least ten years or more."

"If you're going to sign a split contract... I'll take at least 40%!"

"I did the math. If we split the profits 40/60, I can only make a small profit. Anything less than that would be a loss."

"Things are different now; brokerage firms have huge expenses."

"The initial investment to help you get roles was astronomical."

Lin Zhi nodded upon hearing this.

He thought about it in silence for a moment.

He then said, "If it's a 40/60 split, I can only accept a maximum contract of three years."

"And we don't accept any other messy unspoken rules."

"in addition……"

"It's best to avoid taking on roles that are too terrible or have an incompetent production team."

"I do have some artistic aspirations."

"I don't want to be called a bad movie actor in the future!"

Wang Jinghua laughed and said, "I know that. I usually get the big jobs in the industry for my actors."

"The quality is guaranteed."

"Those poorly made works will be screened out in the very beginning..."

"Just look at the actors in my company; their past resumes speak for themselves!"

"They are usually works by big-name directors."

Lin Zhi hummed in agreement.

He nodded slightly.

Then, she raised a few minor details about the contract and began to discuss them meticulously with Wang Jinghua.

It is imperative to ensure that there are no loopholes in the contract.

We won't suffer any hidden losses!

He's always been cautious, so naturally he'll take these kinds of things quite seriously.

Although the two have reached a consensus to sign a split contract.

However, it is still in the early stages of discussion.

At this point, if you don't take things seriously and fight for your own interests, and explain the details of the contract clearly and thoroughly, then it will be too late to change any minor details after you've signed the contract!

therefore……

Next.

The dispute over the contract.

Lin Zhi and Wang Jinghua talked for a long time until dusk fell outside before they finally reached an agreement.

Only then were both sides barely satisfied.

"Alright, Xiaolin... Now that we've reached an agreement, let's go with what we've discussed. I'll draft a contract, and we'll sign it so you don't have to make another trip next time."

After both sides reached a complete agreement and there were no further issues, Wang Jinghua said with a smile.

She has always been an impatient person.

Once something is decided, I want to get it done immediately.

Otherwise, I'll always be thinking about it and feel uneasy leaving it there!

Lin Zhi said, "Sister Hua... she probably won't be able to sign anything today."

"I'm still a minor according to my ID card."

"A written contract from the guardian is required, and the guardian must sign it on behalf of the applicant..."

"Of course, if you don't mind... we can sign now."

"Anyway, I'll be all grown up in a couple of years."

"As long as everyone adheres to the gentleman's agreement, it's fine."

"What do you think of that?"

Wang Jinghua: "..."

She was stunned for a moment, speechless.

She never expected that Lin Zhi, who looked like an adult, was actually still a minor.

but!

In those days, it was common for rural children to go to the city to work illegally and make a living as early as fourteen or fifteen years old.

It's a very common thing, nothing strange about it.

Therefore, after a slight pause, he regained his normal expression.

"Alright then, I'll draft a contract first, you can take a look. We'll sign a letter of intent first, and later we can get your parents to sign a formal guardianship contract. It won't affect anything..."

As Wang Jinghua spoke, she wrote a simple letter of intent in her office and gave it to Lin Zhi to review. After Lin Zhi reviewed it and found no problems, the two of them signed the letter of intent.

As for the formal contract, we can complete it later when we have time.

After signing the letter of intent, the two became much closer.

Because we've become part of the same faction!

In the entertainment industry, people have always been very concerned about factions and different social groups.

This is also human nature.

"All done!"

"Let's go out for a meal together... to celebrate joining our Black Sea Hongri family!"

Wang Jinghua then said in a good mood.

Although, it was only a partial contract with Lin Zhi.

Moreover, the contract term is only three years...

But intuitively, she felt that Lin Zhi was a promising young man who would definitely become a dazzling superstar.

and so!

She was confident that she could make a lot of money from Lin Zhi.

At the very least, you won't lose money!

and……

Lin Zhi, this handsome young man, has provided her with a new path for development today.

If the company expands its business along this path and develops vigorously, it might be able to restart the company from its predicament, give it a second spring, or even allow it to reach new heights.

How could she not be in a good mood?

"Alright, thank you for spending the money, Sister Hua..."

Lin Zhi naturally wouldn't refuse and readily agreed.

If there's free food, why not take it?

What's more, Wang Jinghua will continue to take a cut of his salary in the future. Just thinking about the 40/60 split, with the other party taking 40% of the total salary, makes his heart skip a beat.

But there's nothing we can do about it; he's not popular enough yet, and he doesn't have enough talent.

Once I've weathered these three years, I'll use her influence to take my acting career off to a flying start and become a top star. Then I'll dump her, and I'll be free to roam the world.

Then he will be truly free!

By then, they will be adults.

Then you can start a company and develop freely.

The current period of dormancy is merely a prelude to soaring higher and farther in the future.

He can wait!

They also have perseverance and willpower, and even more so, patience.

Moreover...

He and Wang Jinghua only signed a separate contract, which meant that the restrictions on him personally were relatively small.

The other party only takes a cut from his salary, and only when he takes a role through Wang Jinghua can she receive a corresponding percentage of his earnings.

According to the terms of the contract, if Lin Zhi goes out to take on acting roles or other business during the contract period, he is not required to pay any commission to Wang Jinghua.

So overall, this agreement only benefited him and had no disadvantages.

After signing the contract, he will definitely not have to worry about filming for a while.

At worst, it just means sacrificing a little bit of profit.

Any temporary sacrifice is worthwhile as long as it accelerates growth and helps us become more popular!
