"Can't you just buy a better dress? Look at your casual outfit, you're going to sign up, not to party! Frederick kept muttering as he walked, even though he had entered the lobby of the office building, he didn't mean to stop, as if Sean walking next to him was very unsightly.

"I'm a young man, and young people should look like young people, do you want me to wear a suit? You know, even if it's a second-hand suit, the quality of the haode is thousands of dollars. Sean shrugged.

"TV series salary plus advertising remuneration, you have at least 40,000 yuan or more, can't you afford to buy a second-hand suit? Well, even if you don't want to buy it, you can at least rent one, right? Frederick covered his forehead and said in a tone of hatred, "You are a newcomer, and you have to show your seriousness and respect for others. If you're a celebrity, even if you're wearing pajamas and slippers to sign a contract, they might even say you're leading the fashion! ”

"Okay, Fred, it's going to be fine, I'll definitely sign a contract today." Sean, who was smiling in his heart, said comfortingly.

took the elevator to the floor where the crew was located, and after contacting the front desk, he soon met Federico under the leadership of the assistant? Chiciarelli met, and together they went to the conference room.

The next thing is to look at the contract, if there is anything that Sean doesn't understand, or can't accept, you can put it forward one by one, and then after the two parties have fully exchanged views, decide whether to keep it or modify it, and how to modify it. The contract is very detailed, from the specifications of the hotel when you go to the location to the drinking water provided during the usual shooting.

Fred is undoubtedly an expert in this regard, so he looks very carefully, explaining something to Sean from time to time. Overall, the contract is not bad, and the treatment that the protagonist should have - such as a trailer or something - is all there, but the pay is slightly less, and the crew only gives him $600,000.

Well, it's nothing, Sean is a newcomer after all, and as a newcomer's first film, it's enough to have this price. You must know that it was precisely because Minghella saw that the asking price of several actors was too high that the choice of the actor could not be decided for a long time, so don't mind too much, according to Sean's original words, one of his advantages is cheap.

"I think it's basically fine." After a full conversation with Sean, Frederick returned the contract to Chiccarelli.

The next step is to go through the legal process, find a strong lawyer to see if there are any legal loopholes, and then you can sign the contract.

"Wait a minute." Chiccarelli was about to speak, when the phone rang suddenly, and after apologizing, he picked up the phone and hurried out.

A few minutes later, he walked back again: "Sorry to keep you waiting, but I just received a call from the finance department that we may need to make some changes to the things in the contract." ”

Frederick and Sean both frowned, both sensing that something was wrong, and exchanged glances, and Sean spoke first: "What is it?" ”

"Because some ...... Well, I'm sorry, for the reason that I can't say for the time being, we may have to cut Mr. Tang's salary to 500,000. Chiccarelli said.

"What?" Sean and Frederick asked in surprise.

"I know it's a bit hard to talk about, but unfortunately we had to do it because of the budget." Chiciarelli spread out his hands, making himself appear honest, but there was an obvious taste of "love to buy, not buy and roll" that only some salespeople have.

"I ...... I don't understand, weishenme......" Sean was about to speak, but was pulled by Frederick underneath.

"We need to work it out." He said so, then got up and pulled Sean into the corner.

"He wants to provoke you." The agent whispered, "I don't know why, but he does want to provoke you." ”

"What's in it for him?" Sean was puzzled.

"Perhaps...... Want you to make a bad impression on the crew? Frederick thought for a moment, "Remember what I said earlier?" Signing up isn't completely insured, especially for newcomers like you. Now here are the heads of many departments after the start of filming, if you see you angry, the first impression will definitely be bad, if someone instigates it, it's hard to say, although Minghella supports you, but he doesn't represent everyone. ”

"So......" Sean gritted his teeth and glanced at Chicjarelli, who had his head down and didn't know what he was doing.

"We can only agree, for us, the most important thing now is to sign the contract." Frederick sighed.

"Okay." To his surprise, Sean, who originally thought he would have to persuade a few words, agreed in one bite.

The two of them returned to the long table in the conference room again, thinking that they could finally finalize it, but they didn't expect Chiccarelli to speak again: "I'm very sorry, you two, I recalculated it just now, I'm afraid...... The salary has to be cut to 400,000 to be appropriate. ”

Sean and Frederick were stunned again, and then their faces were full of anger, and not only that, but the assistants next to Chiccarelli were a little surprised.

"I want to know, what's going on?" Sean clenched his fists, "Weishenme can't finish it all at once." ”

"I'm sorry, but I just got the data, so I couldn't figure it out." Although Chiccarelli said this, he had no sincerity at all, and there was a faint mocking look.

Taking a deep breath, Sean was about to say a few words, but Frederick opened his mouth first: "No problem, so be it." ”

Chiccarelli didn't speak, just looked at Sean, and only after he nodded expressionlessly in agreement, did he raise his hands in some disappointment: "Haode, after the lawyer has seen that there is no problem, please sign it." ”

"Mr. Chicjarelli, I don't understand, no one seems to tell us......" After Sean and Frederick left with their contracts, the assistant couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I know, but I'm also for the crew, and the budget is a little overrun, so I can save a little bit, isn't it?" Chiccarelli replied in a high-sounding voice, and the other party immediately stopped talking.

Sitting down on the couch a little dullly, Sean straightened his legs and looked up at the ceiling, as if he had exhausted all his strength, even if Poke pounced and jumped and licked, he couldn't move a point.

Of course, it would be different if you added another little thing, Lucy relied on its small enough body, and often ran to some places where people couldn't reach, and every time Pock had to work hard to get it out, but fortunately its biggest interest was sleep, or it was definitely a small thing that could turn the sky upside down.

So, how could he possibly sit still when this little ball of flesh climbed up Sean's body and began to go into his crotch.

"You're a she-cat." Sean, who picked Lucy up, said with a smile, but the answer was a lazy "meow".

Poke followed with the booze who also joined in the fun, and then arched his head into his arms, carrying Jiashi, who would never stop if he didn't get in. Sean couldn't help but get up, and the humiliation he had received before had unconsciously dispersed a little.

"Anyway, the role has been obtained." He comforted himself as he teased Pock and Lucy, and then the phone rang.

"Hello, it's Sean." He picked up the phone.

"Hello, Sean, I'm Federico." There was a voice over there.

Sean's brows suddenly furrowed, and he didn't feel it surging back to his heart again, Rao was like this, he still controlled his emotions, and asked in a calm tone, "Is there anything wrong, Mr. Chiciarelli?" ”

"That's right, after you leave, I'll find someone to calculate it in detail, and unfortunately, the salary may have to be reduced to 300,000. In addition, the grade of the hotel and the equipment of the trailer may need to be lowered. The other party said in a somewhat mechanical tone, as if he was not discussing but informing.

Anger suddenly rose from Sean's heart, and the initial salary of 600,000 yuan was just that, as a newcomer, he was not greedy at all, but what did it mean to reduce it twice after that? And in front of him?! Now it's even more simply cut in half, and even reduce the salary, is it fun to target yourself!

But by this time, after the anger rushed to the top of his head, Sean calmed down instead. It is almost certain that Chiccarelli has a conspiracy, and what is the purpose of his intention to provoke himself so much? What's in it for him? Or was he instructed by someone? But it's useless to really provoke him, since Director Minghella has handpicked himself...... Wait a minute!

"Mr. Tang?" Again, Chiccarili's voice was heard.

"I have no opinion." Sean tried to reply in a calm tone at first, "I'll tell Fred." ”

This answer was obviously unexpected, and after a while, Chiccarelli's somewhat muffled voice came: "Then so be it." ”

Hanging up the phone, Sean's face was as black as ink, and after gritting his teeth and punching the couch to startle Polke and Lucy, he started to make calls.

"Fred, has the lawyer read the contract? Come to me right away, right away, and don't answer any calls, any calls, no calls! He said again and again.

As it turned out, Sean did the right thing.

"They only pay 300,000?! These bastards! How dare they! After Frederick heard Sean's relay, he immediately roared angrily, "This is a complete humiliation!" I've been an agent for almost ten years, and it's the first time I've seen this kind of behavior without even having a face! ”

"Calm down, Fred, we need to calm down now!" Sean repeatedly persuaded.

"How calm am I going to be, I have to kick these bastards into prison, **** anus with a stick, and then put it out of my mouth and put it outside for public display!" Frederick blushed and shouted in a frenzy that Sean had to grab him so that he wouldn't ruin his living room.

Frederick, who has always been shrewd and good at negotiation, once again shows his violent side.
