The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord

"Everyone, please be sure to listen attentively to the following explanation. Now, you each hold three important contract documents in your hands, which I have carefully reviewed yesterday. Next, I will briefly and clearly introduce to you the core contents of these contract documents. First of all, please turn your attention to the first contract, which mainly involves the cooperative relationship between us and the investor. In this contract, the investor will provide us with the necessary financial support and publicity resources to help promote our project better. We need to undertake the filming task to ensure the smooth progress of the project. As for the distribution of profits, we will adopt different distribution methods based on the proportion of funds invested by the investors, specifically 28%, 37% and 46%. This means that the distribution ratio of profits will also change depending on the amount of investment." Xia Shuo told them one by one what he had marked yesterday in the first contract.

"Next, please pay attention to the second contract. In this contract, the investor will bear all investment responsibilities, and we will be responsible for all subsequent filming and publicity work. Under this cooperation model, the profits will be divided 50-50, that is, the investor and we will each get half of the profits. This way of cooperation is relatively simple and clear, and can ensure that the interests of both parties are fairly distributed." Xia Shuo gave those present a few minutes to digest it, and then picked up the second contract.

"Finally, let's look at the third contract. In this contract, the investor will sign a cooperation agreement with our entire crew. They will cover all crew expenses, including but not limited to filming, publicity, and staff salaries. Our crew will only be responsible for filming and ensuring the quality of the project. Under this cooperation model, each crew member will receive a basic salary to ensure that their basic living needs are met. In addition, the contract stipulates an additional reward mechanism. Specifically, after the work airs, each member will receive a commission based on the ratings."

After Xia Shuo interpreted the three contracts in detail, he began a heated discussion with the people present.

Xia Shuo sat quietly on a high platform, his gaze fixed on the people below, who were engaged in a heated debate. Just as the debate was becoming increasingly tense and threatened to devolve into physical conflict, Xia Shuo quickly intervened, halting the situation. He spoke calmly and collectedly, "Everyone, please remain calm. We all have our own opinions and standpoints, and that's perfectly normal. However, to avoid unnecessary arguments, we should adhere to the traditional rule of majority rule. Now, I suggest we hold an anonymous vote to ensure everyone can express their opinions freely, free from external influence. Ultimately, we will select the contract with the most votes as our decision."

Xia Shuo looked around and continued to arrange the next steps: "Xiao Zhang, please prepare some paper and pen and distribute them to everyone present. Ask everyone to write down their choices and then put the slips of paper into this cardboard box." He took out a cardboard box from somewhere like a magic trick and placed it gently on the table, as if the box had been ready long ago.

Then, Xia Shuo turned to the producer of the financing company and politely made a request: "Since you are not a member of the crew, you will act as a neutral party and assist us in completing this important task. Please be responsible for counting the votes and ensuring the fairness and transparency of the entire voting process." Xia Shuo's words revealed his trust in the producer and also showed his importance to the entire voting process.

All participants completed their voting in an atmosphere of tense anticipation, their eyes closely following the producer's every move. The producer stood at the center of the table, a transparent ballot box before him filled with votes cast by all participants. He took a deep breath and began carefully counting each ballot, ensuring each one was considered fairly. His fingers gently slid over each ballot, carefully avoiding any mistakes.

Everyone in the room held their breath, their eyes fixed on the producer's every movement. Time seemed to slow to a crawl, with only the gentle trembling of the producer's fingers and the sound of the flipping of ballots echoing in the air. As the last ballot was counted, the producer looked up, his gaze firm and serious, scanning everyone present.

His gaze finally rested on Xia Shuo, who also felt the producer's gaze. Standing in the crowd, his eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness. He wore a neat black suit and a meticulously tied tie, appearing solemn and serious. Under the producer's gaze, Xia Shuo took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, approving the voting results.

This nod was not only a recognition of the producers' work, but also an acknowledgement of the fairness of the entire voting process. Xia Shuo's nod was like a signal, bringing a sigh of relief to everyone present. The tense atmosphere gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief and satisfaction. Upon seeing Xia Shuo's nod, the producer also smiled with satisfaction, knowing that his efforts had paid off and that the voting results had been respected and accepted by everyone.

"The vote counting has been successfully completed. I will not go into details and will directly announce the results: the third contract received the most votes." The producer announced the result, just as Xia Shuo expected.

Xia Shuo knew this contract offered the best terms of the three drafts. Not only did it guarantee a stable base salary for every crew member, it also provided the six insurances and one housing fund typically enjoyed by public institutions, and its other benefits were second to none. More importantly, it offered ample funding and a reliable guarantee of script quality. It was a truly exemplary contract in the entertainment industry.

Xia Shuo walked over to the table, clapped his hands gently, and said with a smile, "Now that our decision has been made, then, Assistant Director, please come with me to sign the contract."

Xia Shuo turned his gaze to the assistant director, who nodded slightly, indicating he understood his intention. Then, turning his gaze to the executive directors, Xia Shuo said gently, "The series' funding issues have been properly resolved. While the assistant director and I are absent, we'll need your continued hard work. Stagehands, please be sure to monitor the actors' movements. If you encounter any instances of non-cooperation, please make a note and report back upon my return. Now, please adjourn. The finance manager and assistant director, please remain for a moment."

Everyone stood up and left the conference room one after another. Xia Shuo's gaze fell on the two remaining people. "Xi Shi, you will come with me tomorrow to finalize the investment agreement for the play. Afterwards, we will need to discuss the contract with the investors regarding the production crew."

"Okay, I understand. I'll contact Lawyer Luo to go together." Xi Shi nodded. He knew very well how important these two contracts were to the crew and they could not be neglected in the slightest.
