“I have reviewed the contract, and overall there are no problems. There are some clauses that I have marked, which are clauses that you can negotiate with the other party.”

As Attorney Lin spoke, he pointed to the contract terms for Shen Ci and Shen Li: "The contract terms here are usually five to ten years for newcomers, which is not too short, but there are also three-year contracts. It depends on how you negotiate."

"And there's the resource commitment we've promised you: one 'S-level' project per year on the platform, with a role no less than the third female lead. These soft terms are open to negotiation."

Shen Li nodded in understanding and said to her sister, "Sister, as long as it's a role I want to play, I can accept the project level and the size of the role."

"You can explain this idea to the other party in a moment. You need to learn to express your needs," Shen Ci said.

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door of the dressing room; it was Sister Kuan.

"Hello, Shen Li."

Upon meeting, Sister Kuan warmly extended her hand to greet Shen Li.

"Hello, teacher, may I ask who you are?" Shen Li asked as she shook hands with the other person.

Sister Kuan got straight to the point: "I'm an artist manager at 'Golden Star Entertainment,' you can just call me Sister Kuan."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li immediately realized that Xiao Yun and A Pan were both from "Jin Xiao," and the production company of this drama was also "Jin Xiao" Entertainment.

"Sister Kuan, please have a seat. May I ask what brings you here?"

Sister Kuan smiled and said, "Of course, take a look at this first."

As she spoke, Sister Kuan casually took out an artist contract from her bag and handed it to Shen Li. When Shen Li saw the words on the cover, she instinctively wanted to refuse, but Sister Kuan interrupted her softly: "Don't rush to refuse, take a look first."

Seeing this, Xiaoyun whispered to Shen Li, "Sister Kuan is the top agent of 'Golden Xiao.' Yao Bin and Ji Chuhe are both managed by Sister Kuan."

Upon hearing this, Shen Li opened her mouth in surprise.

"Thank you, Sister Kuan. Let me take a look first." Shen Li obediently reached out and took it, but she couldn't help but feel conflicted.

Regardless of whether the terms of this contract are better, she has basically tacitly agreed to sign with Teacher Yu Hong; that has always been her intention.

Seemingly sensing her sister's unease, Shen Ci patted her back reassuringly and whispered, "It's okay, just take a look first. When making a decision, just follow your heart."

She knew her sister's personality; refusing others was a difficult thing for her to say, but people always have to learn to say "no," especially in the entertainment industry.

Shen Li nodded. With her sister around, she did feel much more at ease.

The terms offered by "Jin Xiao" were indeed more tempting than those offered by Teacher Hong, but the parts that highlighted the advantages were not what Shen Li cared about.

For example, Kim Hyo-seo gave her an extra percentage in terms of salary.

For example, Kim Hyo promised her an "S" level leading role within two years, as well as a leading role in a "TV series".

These highly tempting promises could be seen as a golden opportunity for any newcomer.

Only Shen Li felt little emotional after watching it.

"Sister, what do you think?" Shen Li looked at her sister with some difficulty.

The conditions offered by "Jin Xiao" were too outstanding. Even if she was unmoved, she could not deny that the other party was very sincere.

Moreover, she currently has seven scripts given to her by "Jin Xiao," allowing her to choose the role she most wants to play. She doesn't know why the other party would do this, but as a newcomer, she is very grateful to have such an opportunity to choose a role.

Including this drama, she was able to get the role of "Hua Xixi" because she was always grateful to "Jin Xiao" for recognizing and giving her the opportunity.

Thinking about all this made her even more conflicted.

"You ask me?"

Shen Li nodded.

Shen Ci smiled knowingly and said frankly, "Then to be honest, I prefer 'Golden Zodiac'."

Seemingly understanding why her sister would give this answer, Shen Li let out a deep breath.

Seeing this, Sister Kuan smiled and said frankly, "This contract is our 'Golden Star's' top-tier newcomer contract. To date, only Ji Chuhe received this contract, and everyone has witnessed her achievements. Therefore, Shen Li, 'Golden Star' values ​​you very much."

"Thank you, Sister Kuan. I understand all of this. This is the first time I've encountered a situation like this, so I'm a little conflicted."

Just then, a staff member knocked on the door and peeked in, saying to Shen Li, "Li, get ready to wait for filming to begin."

Shen Li needed to detach herself from her current emotions, and upon hearing this, she quickly nodded and stood up: "I'm sorry, Sister Kuan, I have two scenes to film this morning, I'll go first."

"Okay, I've been on set all day. You can take your time to think about it."

Shen Li nodded, gave her sister a look, and then hurriedly left the dressing room.

Sister Kuan and Attorney Lin then followed them out, leaving only Shen Ci, Xiao Yun, and A Pan in the dressing room.

Shen Ci opened her suitcase and took out three bags, then greeted the two of them: "I brought you some local specialties from Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Thank you for taking care of Ali these past few days."

The packaging bag looked very high-end, with the words "Premium Sea Cucumber" clearly displayed.

This stuff isn't cheap even in Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

"You're too kind, we can't accept this." Xiaoyun said with some surprise, seemingly not expecting Ali's sister to be so thoughtful, even bringing them gifts.

Shen Li smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, it's all my pleasure. As a newcomer, I don't know many things, so I'm very grateful for your help. One box for each of you, this box is for Teacher Wenxuan."

She even took care of the makeup artist, Wenxuan, which instantly improved Xiaoyun and Apan's impression of Shen Ci.

The two thanked him repeatedly after receiving the gifts, and Shen Ci took the opportunity to ask with concern, "My sister isn't very good at expressing her feelings, especially when it comes to things that make her unhappy. How has she been on set these days? Has anything unpleasant happened?"

The question was quite direct; Shen Ci simply wanted to know how her sister was doing.

Xiaoyun and Apan exchanged a glance upon hearing this. The person Ali mentioned most often was her sister, so the two knew that the two sisters must have a very close relationship.

After hesitating for a moment, Apan nodded slightly to Xiaoyun, who then spoke softly, "Everything else is fine. Everyone likes Ali. The director likes her because she's a good actress, so he often praises her. The staff like her because she has a good personality; she calls everyone 'teacher' and is very polite."

"There's an actress named Kate Tsui. I heard from Ah Li that she's from the same school. A few days ago, when we were filming a scene where Ah Li fell into the water, she deliberately kept making mistakes and caused Ah Li to stay in the water for more than half an hour. Ah Li cried because she felt wronged."
