Chapter 26: Deed of Sale
"Sister Anne, I'll show you my current script. ”
Lin Lu took out a stack of thick scripts and put them on the table, each one was one centimeter thick, a total of dozens of copies.
"There are so many things to memorize, and you let me act in other TV series, how do you teach me how to act?"
"Didn't your dad teach you the method, as long as you want to, there's nothing you can't do, Lulu, don't think of these as works, these are all money, money, do you know how much this play is paid?"
Wang Annie stretched out her index finger, "10 million! Where do you go to find 10 million?"
"I'll become mentally ill after filming, I can't act in this scene, I want to play it for someone else. ”
"No, I have already signed the contract, if you don't shoot, I will pay them 10 million liquidated damages. The contract is here, see for yourself. ”
Annie Wang took out a contract from her bag and threw it in front of her.
Lin Lu flipped through it, and the second item of Article 7 really stated the liability for breach of contract: if Party A breaches the contract, Party B shall pay Party B 10 million yuan in liquidated damages!
"Sister Anne, you also signed such an unequal contract?"
"Well, your father said, if you don't want to shoot, give them 10 million liquidated damages. ”
Lin Lu's account is more than one million at most, and after deducting miscellaneous expenses, there is not much left, and he will definitely not be able to pay the 10 million liquidated damages.
She unwillingly turned to the last page, which was signed by Lin Hongmiao, and she herself did not sign.
"I didn't sign it, so the contract has no effect. ”
As if she had expected her to say this, Annie Wang took out a copy of the agreement she had signed with Xingyue Company from her bag.
One of them says that his father Lin Hongmiao has full authority to act as the artist Lin Lu for all contract matters, and the artist needs to unconditionally perform the contract signed by Lin Hongmiao for him, otherwise he needs to pay Party A Lin Hongmiao 100 million yuan in liquidated damages!
Lin Lu hurriedly turned to the last page, and Party B's signature was indeed signed with her name!
Didn't you look at the contract when you first joined the company?
The time for signing the contract is too long, she recalls it carefully, and only remembers that when she first returned to China, she celebrated her birthday at home, and her father took out a contract to her, saying that it was a graduation gift for her, let her enter Xingyue Entertainment, and praised her as the female number one in the TV series "Good Times"!
At that time, she didn't mention how happy she was, she signed the contract without even looking at it, who would have thought that her biological father would cheat his daughter like this?
Lin Lu felt a headache, this change of life against the sky was really a setback. But there must be no concessions, and once they do, it will be difficult to turn over later.
"10 million, I will find a way to compensate them, I will resolutely not shoot this drama. ”
"Well, since you don't want to, then you have time to read these books, and you will have to join the group one after another in about 2 days. ”
Wang Annie took out 3 scripts and 3 contracts from her bag without changing her face and threw them on the table.
Lin Lu asked in surprise: "When you asked me which drama I was going to film, had you already signed all five dramas?"
"Bingo! ”
Lin Lu hurriedly flipped through it, and the liquidated damages for each play were 10 million, adding up to 40 million!
She looked at her father's name sprinkled on the last page, and suddenly felt like the sky was falling!
She still remembers that when she was a child, her father held her on his shoulder and said to her: "Lulu, Dad will be your god in the future, Dad will take you around the world, okay?"
The innocent little girl laughed happily on his broad shoulders and rode her father all over the yard.
Are these all fake?
Did Dad just use her as a cash cow?
As soon as these bad thoughts appeared in Lin Lu's mind, she desperately tried her best to get rid of them.
It's not like this, Dad is definitely not this kind of person, but because he is too young, Dad wants to restrain her in a way and prevent her from going the wrong way.
It's just that Dad doesn't know which way is the crooked road, after all, the company is not facing a crisis now, how can Dad know that this approach is wrong?
But Lin Lu really hates the feeling of being chased to the shelves, she would rather compensate for the liquidated damages, and let her father know that she will not compromise no matter what, only in this way will there be no next persecution.
"40 million, I'll get you together in a week. ”
Wang Annie's calm expression finally couldn't hold back, and she said in disbelief: "Lin Lu, are you crazy? This is 40 million, not 4,000 yuan!"
"I'm not crazy, I just want you to know that what I don't want to do, no matter who or by any means, can't force me to do it. ”
Wang Annie looked at her fixedly for a minute, and the expression on her face was indescribable......
Then she stood up and walked to the door with her bag, just opened the door and suddenly stopped, thought for a while, turned her head slightly and said to Lin Lu: "Lin Lu, I hope you cherish the relationship between father and daughter, I have no father since I was a child, and I envy you children who have fathers." This is the first time I've said something like this to someone, so think about it and don't make your dearest ones sad. ”
After speaking, Wang Annie closed the door with a "snap".
These words hit Lin Lu's pain point, making her heart that she thought was strong collapse.
The pictures of her father's love for her when she was a child instantly came to mind, and his loving smile was still vivid......
Why? Why does it seem like everything has changed when you grow up...... Or, after being born again, everything changed......
She decided that she wanted to talk to her father and tell him what was going on in her heart, and whether he believed it or not, she wanted to tell him about the bizarre experience of being born again, so that he could know that she was not a vexatious child.
She put the contract and script on the table into her bag, and she didn't even have time to change the costume, so she drove back to Xingyue Entertainment Company by herself.
When Lin Hongmiao saw his daughter in costume appear at the door of his office, he quickly dropped the documents in his hand and walked over to greet him with a smile.
"Baby daughter, you've worked hard in filming, come, Dad will make you a cup of ginseng tea. Lin Hongmiao's face was full of fatherly love, and he pulled Lin Lu to sit on the sofa.
Lin Hongmiao bent down to make her ginseng tea, and Lin Lu noticed that her father's ears and temples had turned white, and the hair on the top of his head had become sparse, revealing the reflective scalp inside.
It's hard for Dad to run the company.
Her eyes were a little moist, and Lin Lu turned her head to wipe her tears.
After a while, the ginseng tea was brewed, and Lin Hongmiao took out a teacup from the sterilizer, filled half a cup for Lin Lu and handed it to her.
"Come on, try it, this is your dad's friend brought back from Changbai Mountain, it's best to use this to make tea, dad left you a box, you take it to the crew to drink it often, ah?"
Lin Hongmiao took out a box of beautifully packaged ginseng from the tea cabinet and placed it beside Lin Lu.
Lin Lu took a sip of tea to calm down, carefully considered the wording repeatedly in his heart, and finally spoke: "Dad, I want to have a good talk with you." ”
Lin Hongmiao raised his eyes and looked at her, frowned and said, "I still have a lot of things to deal with, you have to rush back to filming, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it another day." ”
"There is something very important that I must tell you now. ”
Lin Hongmiao paused for a moment, took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Then you can say it." ”
"Dad, I've encountered something very bizarre, and you may not believe it when you say it, in fact...... I've already died once. ”
