20demayo Chapter 227: Wolf ambition, obvious
Chapter 227: Wolf ambition, obvious
As a small studio, Jiasheng’s profits were not much, and there were only a few third- and fourth-tier artists under its banner.
We finally got someone as popular as Wen Li'er, so we have to make the most of her, right?
If Wen Li'er wasn't so stubborn that she only accepted scripts she liked and took other notices based on the circumstances, who knows how many random notices the company would have taken the opportunity to give her.
And a large part of this was suppressed for her by Sister Tang.
Sister Tang thinks that Wen Li'er is still young and can create more value for the company in the future. If she is eager to take on bad movies and has too much exposure at once, it will instead disgust the audience.
Only by moving forward steadily and laying a solid foundation now can we go further in the future.
As a veteran of FXCM, Sister Tang still has a certain say in FXCM.
But this time the company directly issued an order for Wen Li'er to come back to work. It seems that even Sister Tang can't control her anymore.
"If we can't come to an agreement, then ask a lawyer to terminate the contract. I don't have to be with Forex."
If it weren’t for the fact that Sister Tang was a nice person and she liked Yao Xiaowan very much, Wen Li’er would not have had any feelings for Jiasheng.
What's more, with her abilities, it would be no problem for her to start her own studio.
"You are right, Jiasheng is a cold-blooded vampire. You just said you would take a year off, not that you would not work anymore. They actually used breach of contract to force you to continue working for them."
"We don't want to stay in such a cold-blooded company. You're still pregnant, so don't think too much. Ask a lawyer to negotiate the termination of the contract and I'll handle it."
Yao Xiaowan is now a mature assistant, and Wen Li'er is very confident in her work ability.
But he still added one more sentence: "Xiao Wan, if I successfully terminate the contract with Jiasheng, are you willing to follow me?"
Yao Xiaowan said without hesitation: "Of course I am willing. I won't recognize anyone else except you, Er'er!"
"But maybe I won't be an assistant by then."
Hearing this, Yao Xiaowan held her face in her hands and said pitifully, "I know there are many excellent assistants, and I can't compare to them. In addition to being an assistant, I can do other things. As long as I can stay by your side, Er'er, that's enough."
Wen Lier chuckled and extended her hand to invite: "Excuse me, Ms. Yao Xiaowan, are you willing to be my agent?"
Yao Xiaowan showed an expression of disbelief and stood there completely stunned.
"Agent? Can I?"
Wen Lier said, "Of course you can. With your current business ability, Xiaowan, you will have no problem being my agent. And if you are my agent, you don't have to follow me around every day. You can just leave these small tasks to my assistant."
"As for our agent Yao, he mainly oversees major decisions on scripts, advertisements, etc., just like Sister Tang, who sits in the office and coordinates the overall situation."
I have to say, just by listening to Wen Li'er say this, Yao Xiaowan was already fantasizing about her happy and beautiful life sitting in an air-conditioned office in the future.
But Yao Xiaowan shook her head and said, "Although being a manager is good, I still want to be your assistant, Er'er."
"I don't trust others to take care of you. What if they don't take good care of you?"
Wen Lier was moved and touched her head. "You silly girl, others are so happy about their promotions, why are you so silly and worrying about whether others can take care of me?"
"I don't need anyone to take care of me. I have hands and feet. As long as I have an assistant with normal professional skills, it will be fine."
Yao Xiaowan burst into tears and hugged Wen Lier.
"Er Er, from now on I am attached to you, just like a dog-skin plaster, you can't tear me off even if you want to!"
Yao Xiaowan rushed to deal with the contract termination issue for Wen Lier.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the termination of the contract was proposed, Jiasheng actually threw out a huge amount of liquidated damages. It was obvious that they saw that Wen Li'er was so popular now, so they wanted to take advantage of the situation.
The executives even said: "It is clearly written in the contract that Wen Lier must obey all arrangements of the company within five years. Now it is only the second year. If you want to terminate the contract early, you will have to pay a penalty of 100 million."
"Of course, Wen Li'er is very capable. Our senior management likes her very much and hopes to continue to cooperate with her. As long as she doesn't take a long vacation and continues to run announcements, the issue of liquidated damages will be treated as if it has never been mentioned."
"Go back and persuade Wen Li'er. This is already the greatest favor the company can offer her. After all, she is still newly famous. Don't ruin her future."
Although Wen Li'er is indeed popular now, she is not extremely popular yet. She does not have many works and has only starred in two film and television dramas, and the other one has not been broadcast yet.
Jiasheng is very confident that Wen Li'er's current ability is not enough to compete with the company.
Throwing out a compensation of 100 million is enough to scare a little star like her.
Yao Xiaowan was so angry that she contacted a lawyer, but the lawyer said that this lawsuit was difficult to win, and that compensation for breach of contract would definitely be required, it was just a matter of whether the amount would be more or less.
Moreover, this lawsuit usually takes a lot of time. During the lawsuit, Wen Li'er is still an artist of Jiasheng and must obey Jiasheng's work arrangements.
Yao Xiaowan was extremely anxious. Wen Li'er also called to ask Yao Xiaowan about the process of contract termination. The girl then burst into tears and said that she was really useless and couldn't even handle such a small thing.
Wen Li'er comforted her and went to Jiasheng immediately.
"I was the one who proposed the termination. You disagreed with my vacation. Since our ideas are not in agreement, there is no need to continue working together. Let's part ways in peace. It will be good for both of us."
"I only signed a five-year contract with Forex, and the contract fee was less than five million. But you guys are asking for a 100 million yuan penalty. Isn't that too much?"
The executive said with disdain: "The penalty for breach of contract is determined based on the artist's value. Li'er, the company has invested a lot of money in you, promoting you and providing you with resources."
"Otherwise, with your qualifications, how could you have achieved such good results in the entertainment industry in less than two years after your debut?"
Yao Xiaowan put her hands on her hips and said, "What bullshit are you talking about? Er'er got all her resources by auditioning on her own. You gave Er'er good resources. Go and see for yourself what kind of lousy resources you gave Er'er two years ago."
"Besides, Er Er's first drama as a female lead was filmed with her friends when she was abroad. What does it have to do with Jiasheng? The reason why she was able to film "The Conquest of the World" this time was because "The Fall of Rose" became popular."
"And what else can Jiasheng do besides accepting those bad scripts and trying to make quick money for Er Er by appearing in various variety shows? Now that Er Er has become popular, you have started to blackmail him. Your evil ambitions are obvious!"
The executive was fearless and smiled contemptuously, "As long as Wen Lier's contract is in Gain Capital's hands, we have the final say on how to compensate and how much to compensate."
"Even if you hire a great lawyer, it will be useless."
"Wen Lier, I advise you to be obedient and develop well in Forex. The company will not treat you unfairly."
