"So you mean—you want me to renew my contract with Changfeng Entertainment for ten years?"
Bai Ziji sat in the air-conditioned car, and after listening for a long time, he finally asked a question in a warm voice.
He was wearing a blanket and holding a paper cup filled with ginger soup in his hand. He looked tired and weak, only his eyes were still shining.
He had just finished filming a scene in the rain and changed his clothes when he was called out by his manager for the reason of an important meeting.
So much so that he listened to a lot of blah blah from the manager in a daze at the moment, and finally extracted this point.
Fortunately, the previous dangerous period of estrus has passed.
Otherwise, if I go back today, I might have another serious illness.
Bai Ziji thought with a blank expression.
"Yes."
Bai Ziji's manager's surname is Hu, and she is known as Sister Hu. She is a professional woman with a very capable style.
She spoke very fast, and she barely paused when she reported the supplementary terms of the new contract, "Your brokerage contract is approaching the end of this year, so it's time to think about it. If you choose to renew the ten-year long contract, not only In the future, the salary share will change from the original [-] to [-], and the company will also give you more high-quality resources."
After Sister Hu finished talking, she glanced at Bai Ziji.
She didn't pay much attention to Bai Ziji before, but now that she has a closer look, the newcomer looks really good, and he is a hot star.
It's no wonder that Mr. Lu has taken a fancy to him.
Sister Hu quickly recalled in her mind Mr. Lu's uncompromising tone when he gave her orders, and hurriedly offered more attractive conditions, for fear that Bai Ziji would refuse: "The company will have a good script in the future. You can choose whatever you want!"
"...?"
"The filming time also follows your will!"
"..."
"If you want an RV when you are filming, the company will definitely rent it for you!"
"..."
"Also, all the clauses you added in the previous contract will be retained and carried forward. If you have any other requirements, you can also mention them!"
Bai Ziji: "..."
The agent's tone was too eager.
In a trance, he felt that he was not signing a contract extension, but standing in front of a pyramid scheme leader.
The other side talked about the hype, saying that as long as you take the [-] contract home, you will suffer if you don’t sign a ten-year contract, and you will be fooled if you can’t sign a ten-year contract. In fact, they are trying to trick you into a pit.
Bai Ziji narrowed his eyes slightly.
Changfeng Entertainment is not the kind of small workshop with only a few artists. Although it has not produced any big hits, it also has many stars who can be ranked second and third in domestic entertainment.
With his current status, he was just a newcomer at the bottom of the company.
He is still a newcomer who has been on leave for more than half a month because of his illness.
It's not bad that the company didn't convict him and deduct his share of the film salary, and he even offered him such a good contract renewal condition.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Although there is no problem with the contract in front of him for the time being.
But Bai Ziji always felt that something was not quite right.
Plus ten years is a bit long.
The average actor's appointment is three to five years. As a rookie, he only signed for two years, but now he has to bet for ten years at once, which is really like a contract.
Bai Ziji lowered his head and thought about it, and when he raised his eyes again, he bent his eyes and said gently: "Thank you, Sister Hu, let me take the contract back and think about it."
……
After bidding farewell to his manager, Bai Ziji found an empty corner.
He took a photo of every page of the contract and sent it to Bai Xue.
Bai Xue studied law as an undergraduate, and became a lawyer after graduation.
At that time, Bai Xue helped to read the contract he signed with Changfeng Entertainment after graduating from university.
But this time, Bai Xue called him back after reading the contract.
She said in a very firm tone: "You are going to be angry."
Bai Ziji: "?"
"Otherwise it's hard to understand why they offered you such a contract at this point in time."
Bai Xue turned her pen around and said, "Don't look at me like this. I also helped many artists in the entertainment industry to read the labor contracts. Yours is simply the most conscientious I have ever seen."
"Besides that you are going to be popular and the company doesn't want you to quit and run away, I really can't think of any other reason."
Bai Xue paused, and then said mysteriously, "Brother, tell me the truth, are you shooting some big production now?"
She was very serious, "If you feel that you are going to be popular soon, then don't sign it yet."
"You can go back and start a studio by yourself. When the time comes, I will resign from the law firm and work as a legal consultant for your studio."
Bai Ziji: "..."
He even thought about the team and configuration of his play, as well as the role he played in a very cooperative manner. After comprehensive consideration, he was silent for a moment, and cruelly pierced her fantasy, "Sister, I'm playing a supporting role."
"..."
"Then did you save the boss' life or do you have something against the boss?"
After Bai Xue made a joke, she suddenly thought of something, jumped up from her chair, and said in an exaggerated tone, "Ah Ji, you don't have naked/photos of your big boss in your hand, do you?!"
Bai Ziji: "..."
Bai Ziji got a headache when he heard it: "I'm dead."
"Hey, don't brother—"
After Bai Ziji said good work, he pressed the hang up button and sighed.
In fact, he should have nothing to hesitate.
In all fairness, the company has treated him well in the past two years.
Besides, even Bai Xue didn't see any traps in this contract, and he didn't seem to have any reason not to sign it.
But Bai Ziji had a lot of extra worries.
For example, after signing a long-term contract, the company will invest more in him, will it restrict his private life more, and will it send a life assistant to follow him.
Another example is whether my body can last ten years.
According to his prediction, he will undergo surgery to remove the glands within five years of taking the medicine, and it is still unknown whether he will die on the operating table.
For this operation, do I have to report to the company?
After all, when he joined the company, in the column of personal information, he filled in Omega as his second gender.
Due to the scarcity of Alpha and Omega, some companies will specially market and package artists from this direction to create a persona that attracts fans.
If he operates without authorization, is it a breach of contract?
As for other trivial matters - such as the legal marriage between him and Young Master Fu, they were no longer in his primary consideration.
Bai Ziji thought for a while, but couldn't figure out why.
He was naturally afraid of trouble, and planned to put these things aside beforehand, but when he was about to return to the set, his phone vibrated again.
[You have a new message. 】
—
"You said he didn't agree?"
"It's not that I didn't agree, it's that I didn't agree directly, saying that I still need to consider it for a while."
Lu Xi frowned slightly: "What else do you need to consider?"
Listening to the detailed explanation on the other end of the phone, he became more and more impatient, "Continue to benefit him, I don't believe he won't agree."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Xi's face was gloomy.
He couldn't figure it out.
Should not be ah.
The contract extension he gave Bai Ziji was almost on par with the most popular artists under their company, and it was indeed the best condition he could offer.
He thought that with Bai Ziji's meek and uninterested personality, he must do what his manager said, and after reading the contract, he should be happy to sign the contract.
What is he still thinking?
To be honest, Lu Xi wanted to sign Bai Ziji out of selfish motives, but it was also for the sake of the company.
Bai Ziji is beautiful, and he has aura when acting.
Now there are many stars of all kinds in the internal entertainment market, but his type is quite rare. If they are well cultivated, they will definitely create a lot of income for the company.
This kind of people.
He must not be allowed to escape.
Lu Xi took a look at today's notice.
At present, the filming of the crew is almost done, and it has entered the final stage.
Most of Bai Ziji's scenes are literary dramas, plus he memorizes his lines quickly and enters his emotions quickly, and he rarely NGs. There are only two or three scenes left at this moment, and it is expected that he will be able to wrap it up smoothly after filming tonight.
Lu Xi felt that he could talk to Bai Ziji, and hinted at it by insinuating, so that he could think about the contract carefully during this period of time.
After making up his mind, he went to find Bai Ziji.
"free tonight?"
Bai Ziji sat on a chair, staring at the phone screen.
He seemed to be in a daze. He was called out by Lu Xi several times before he came back to his senses. He quickly put away his phone and said politely, "Brother Lu, what's the matter?"
"Are you free for dinner tonight?"
Lu Xi threw out an invitation to him calmly, "I remember that there is a Cantonese restaurant next door that is very good."
He had inquired about Bai Ziji's sweet taste early in the morning, and felt that his invitation this time was almost certain, and the corners of his mouth were already curled up, "If you like it, we can—"
"...I'm sorry, Brother Lu."
Bai Ziji said, "I have to go home right away after I wrap up tonight."
He paused for a moment, as if he was a bit embarrassed, "There are still people at home...waiting for me to go back."
Lu Xi: "?"
He was taken aback for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
Does Bai Ziji's house still set up a gate for him?
Is it also stipulated that he must go home as soon as his work is over, he is not allowed to stay outside overnight, and he is not allowed to get too close to Alpha?
This is really too...too obedient.
It's not that Lu Xi hasn't dated conservative Omega before, both boys and girls.
His taste is quite uniform, and he likes this kind of simple and blank paper, which can arouse his special desire to conquer.
But it was the first time he saw someone as obedient as Bai Ziji.
The interest suddenly became stronger one after another.
He felt as if he could see Bai Ziji's life trajectory from this piece of information—the kind of obedient, innocent little boy who has followed the rules since he was a child and has never been rebellious or in love.
No wonder his pheromone is light and pure, it has not been developed by anyone at all.
Lu Xi couldn't help thinking about it for a while, and after a while, he bent his mouth and said generously: "Okay, let's talk about it next time when we have time."
The author has something to say: Lu Xi: She is so good, she must have never dated a boyfriend.
Bai Ziji: ...Thank you, married (?)
Why do the more you write, the more bloody (x) believe me, this is really not a love triangle story, our official partner is the one who hangs (?
