Chapter 87 - Boss Peis Hint! (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Pei Qian noticed that Zhu Xiaoce’s bag actually had many contracts inside; he probably was going to ask everyone in the company who was going to get remuneration to sign one as well.
Pei Qian had wanted to say if this was making a mountain out of a molehill.
However, he thought about it again and felt that it was actually right that Zhu Xiaoce was strictly going by the books.
Since Huang Sibo had received this one million yuan, he definitely wanted every bit of money used to be documented clearly. To ask all the actors to sign a contract was reasonable.
Just that…
Pei Qian had not expected Zhu Xiaoce to come together with all the contracts prepared.
Name of the subsidiary: Fei Huang Workspace.
Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce had thought of this name together. Evidently, this name had Huang Sibo’s last name included as well as paid a little respect to Tengda Corporation.
Pei Qian almost wanted to slap his thigh and yell, “Good!”
This name really was…
Very pleasing to me!
Fei Huang Workspace was a fully-funded subsidiary of Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd. Technically, it had to turn over all its profits to the head company. However, no discussion had to be made as to the profit distribution; and Pei Qian was not very particular about this.
He hoped that this subsidiary would lose money every month!
Flipping the pages of the contract, Pei Qian’s eyes swiftly glanced through and first located the name of this short video series!
‘Boss Pei’s Daily Life’
Pei Qian breathed out in relief.
Huu… as long as it wasn’t Surprise, all was well.
No detailed description of the script was in this contract. After all, at this point, Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo had not figured out how and what to shoot; they obviously didn’t manage to write a script yet.
The contract stated that the Director would have complete control and rights over creativity, and the actors had to follow unconditionally as per his requests.
Of course, the Director also couldn’t be too unreasonable.
Remuneration was fixed at a thousand yuan an episode. There were three seasons with ten episodes apiece.
Lastly, liability for breach of contract was also clearly stated: if the Director or actors went against the contract, compensation would be three times the wages earned.
This sum of money for breach of contract was a very common clause; all actors had to follow this condition.
Pei Qian also didn’t mind too much. He wasn’t intending to breach the contract. Furthermore, this short film was only a minute-long per episode; thirty episodes would only be thirty minutes. With such an easy workload, why would he break the contract?
He signed the document.
“Alright, we won’t disturb Boss Pei and your work anymore; we’ll go back immediately to write a script. We will come again when it’s officially time to film!”
Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo left the guest room as they continued looking for other employees to sign the contracts.
Within the company, many wanted to be on camera. If some roles could not be filled, outsiders would be recruited to be actors. Everyone would be given the same remuneration and would have to sign the same contract.
Pei Qian sipped his tea in the guest room as he suddenly felt that life was looking great for him.
The system is taking good care of me!
By taking a side job, I could earn thirty thousand yuan instantly; the system actually didn’t mind that!
Of course, Pei Qian’s actions could be said to have exploited a loophole in the system. However, from another perspective, it could be seen as the system being tolerant and closing one eye, not being too harsh on him!
Although thirty thousand yuan was not considered very much, it was a very important quick buck to make!
Pei Qian had spent money with all his might the last week and had only converted twenty thousand yuan into his personal wealth; thirty thousand yuan was still very attractive to him!
Furthermore, with this beginning, wouldn’t Pei Qian be able to continue manipulating the system?
Could it be possible that one day he would receive an astronomical amount of remuneration?
En… of course, as long as it was within the acceptable parameters of the system.
Pei Qian couldn’t help it but started to dream.
